Chapter Fifty-fifth: Buddha's Light Emerges and Dragon Vein Starts
Yuan Yuan accompanied Provincial Party Committee Secretary Han Minglu, Metropolitan Party Committee Secretary Pang Longzhe, Mayor Gao Shan, and Executive Vice Mayor Yuan Yuan as they got off the elevator. Xu Fan hurriedly greeted them: "Secretary Han, Secretary Pang, Mayor Gao, Mayor Yuan
,Welcome to Meishan."
Han Minglu held Xu Fan's hand and joked: "You have such a big airs as a landowner. It's hard for us to even meet you."
Xu Fan apologized and said with a smile: "It's because Xu Fan didn't do his job well. Yesterday he went to Longtoushan for inspection and encountered something. After handling it, he came back late. I was afraid of disturbing the leader's rest, so I came here to apologize today."
Pang Longzhe asked: "Has the matter been handled well?"
Xu Fan said: "Secretary, please rest assured that it has been taken care of and will not delay today's ceremony."
At this time, Long Zaidong and Chu Chu came down from another elevator. Long Zaidong walked over quickly: "Secretary Han, I'm sorry, I was delayed because of something yesterday. It was already very late when I arrived in Meishan. I'm really sorry for missing the appointment.
”.
Han Minglu held Long Zaidong's hand and said, "Young Master Long, you are a very busy man. I thought you wouldn't come."
Long Zaidong said: "How could it be? I don't dare to break the agreement I made with Secretary Han. Otherwise, if you can spare me, my old man will not be able to spare me."
Han Minglu smiled and asked: "Is the old man in good health? I haven't seen him for a long time."
Long Zaidong said: "It's very good. He speaks more forcefully and louder than me." He turned back and asked Yuan Yuan: "These two...?"
Yuan Yuan hurriedly stepped forward, and Han Minglu said: "Let me introduce you. This is Pang Longzhe, the secretary of the Municipal Party Committee of Metropolis, and this is Gao Shan, the mayor."
Long Zaidong said: "I'm glad to meet you. I'm sorry that I came to Meishan from the east."
Pang Longzhe already knew Long Zaidong's background from Han Minglu, so he said respectfully: "Young Master Long, you are so polite. We can't even invite guests like you."
Long Zaidong said: "Mayor Yuan and I are old classmates, and I came here uninvited." Chu Chu held Yuan Yuan's arm and stood quietly aside. Long Zaidong pulled Chu Chu over and said, "I'll give it to you."
Let me introduce you, this is my fiancée, her name is Chu Chu, she is from Meishan."
Chu Chu didn't panic at all, and shook hands with the three leaders one by one appropriately. Yuan Yuan looked at her in surprise.
Gao Shan saw the tone of Long Zaidong talking to Han Minglu, and heard that he was a classmate of Yuan Yuan. He knew that this person must have an extraordinary background, so he also said in a congenial manner: "Young Master Long has such good eyesight, he has snatched up all the beauties in our Meishan."
Yes, I admire you."
Xu Fan stepped forward and said, "Dear leaders, let's go to the restaurant and chat while eating." Everyone humbly followed Xu Fan to the restaurant.
Xu Fan led Han Minglu and his entourage in. Xie Dahong hurriedly stepped forward to lead the way and sat down at a secluded table by the window. The Cantonese breakfast is very rich, and usually everyone chooses according to their own preferences. After sitting down, they
After chatting for a while, Han Minglu said: "Let's go and get something to eat. Don't delay the departure time."
I saw Xie Dahong coming over with a few beautiful secretaries carrying big plates: "Dear leaders, there are many people today. I helped the leaders choose a few breakfast items to see if they suit the leaders' taste. If you need anything, please let me know.
I'll ask someone to get it." Without waiting for the leader to express his position, Xie Dahong directed the beauties to bring the plates in front of the leaders. Each plate was filled with three flavors of porridge, followed by several exquisite snacks and side dishes.
.
Xu Fan also said: "Every leader can choose for himself. If it doesn't suit your taste, just tell them."
Han Minglu said: "How good is this? It's such a waste."
Li Xiaoyu said: "No, secretary, we also need to eat."
Han Minglu laughed: "This girl is really good at talking." Li Xiaoyu's face suddenly turned red.
While eating, Xu Fan pulled Yuan Yuan aside: "Honey, why didn't you see them? None of them came?"
Yuan Yuan knew who Xu Fan was asking, so she pretended to blame and said, "Do you want them to come and stand by your side now? Caiyi and Anxin are here. They are receiving Uncle Shen and the others on the second floor. I arranged for Jingya and the others to go to Qinglong Town yesterday. They should have reached Longtou Mountain by now, and they have to rush over to arrange the venue."
Xu Fan giggled and said: "I just feel strange, how could such an important thing not involve them?"
Someone slapped Xu Fan on the shoulder from behind. Xu Fan turned around and shouted in surprise: "Nana? Why is it you? Why are you here too?"
Lin Na said: "Why, can't I come if Secretary Xu doesn't invite me? I mean, you really don't mean it. You didn't even say hello to me in advance for such a big thing. I still heard that the station assigned me an outing mission. Earned."
Xu Fan didn't know how to answer, so Yuan Yuan held Lin Na's hand gracefully and said: "Welcome Reporter Lin to Meishan. Please forgive me for any inconvenience."
Lin Na said: "Mayor Yuan, you are getting more and more beautiful. I wanted to invite you to the last time Jin Chan Group did a show, but it's a pity that you didn't go. It's a pity that the audience didn't see such a beautiful woman like you."
Yuan Yuan said: "Journalist Lin made fun of me. I don't dare call myself a beauty in front of young girls like you."
Seeing that the two of them had a good impression of each other, Xu Fan said flatteringly: "Two beauties, let's eat first. When we have time in the evening, can I arrange for you to continue complimenting each other?"
At eight o'clock, the motorcade set off from Meishan Hotel on time, with police cars clearing the way, and drove toward Longtoushan in a mighty manner.
The motorcade marched to the observation deck and stopped. Xu Fan greeted: "Dear leaders, this is the best place to overlook Longtou Mountain, so we built an observation deck here. Please come and take a look."
Han Minglu, Pang Longzhe and Gao Shan all saw it for the first time, and they couldn't help but be impressed by the momentum of Longtoushan, and they all exclaimed.
Han Minglu said to Long Zaidong: "In Zaidong, go back and tell the old man, I will ask him to come and have a look."
Long Zaidong nodded, and Han Minglu asked, "Who discovered this geomantic treasure?" Long Zaidong pointed to Xu Fan next to him, and Han Minglu said, "You have a very discerning mind."
Xu Fan lowered his eyebrows and said submissively: "I also discovered this by accident when I came down to regulate public security at the grassroots level." Han Minglu nodded approvingly.
After taking a distant view, everyone got on the bus and continued towards Longtou Mountain.
On Longtou Mountain, the monks have been divided into two groups and started chanting sutras and praying in front of Longshan Temple and the Big Buddha respectively. The venue of the conference was arranged in the open space in front of the main hall of Longshan Temple. A cordon has been set up around it. The logo of the conference reads Author: The completion ceremony of the Longshan Temple Scenic Area of the Qinglong Town Tourism Development Project in Meishan City. There were so many people and pilgrims coming here today that the tourism company directed people entering the mountain to park in Qinglong Town, and then used more than a dozen buses to transport them there. Tourists go up the mountain. Because of the proper arrangements, Longtou Mountain is in an orderly manner.
When the VIP convoy arrived at Longtou Mountain, Yi Caiyi and An Anxin greeted them on behalf of the travel company. After Xu Fan introduced both parties, Yi Caiyi led the VIP to the rostrum, and An Anxin arranged for other leaders and guests to take their seats according to their seats.
Yan Hongwu presided over today's ceremony on behalf of the Meishan Municipal Government. According to the agenda, the ceremony officially started at 11 o'clock. Yi Caiyi spoke on behalf of the tourism company, and Pang Longzhe spoke on behalf of the Metropolis Municipal Committee. Finally, Han Minglu was invited to give instructions. The ceremony went smoothly and perfectly. Guests and hosts
Have fun.
After the ceremony, Yi Caiyi came over to invite the leaders to observe the consecration ceremony of the Buddha. Master Huiming also came to the podium to wait.
Under the leadership of Master Huiming, everyone came to the Big Buddha. At this time, the Big Buddha had been decorated. A huge red cloth was covered from the head of the Big Buddha down. Master Huiming went to the Big Buddha and picked up a red rope.
He walked over and handed it to Han Minglu with both hands: "Please ask the donor to unveil the Buddha."
Han Minglu declined and said: "Master, I don't understand Buddhist etiquette, so I'd better ask the master to unveil it."
Master Huiming said: "Since the donor came here, he is a destined person. I hope the donor will not refuse."
Long Zaidong also said: "Secretary Han, you are the highest parent official in eastern Guangdong. If you don't come, who will dare to come? Just follow the master's words and let it happen."
Han Minglu didn't want to say anything after hearing this, so he said to Long Zaidong, "Let's go together." Long Zaidong didn't refuse. The two of them grabbed the red rope together, looked at each other, smiled, and pulled it down hard.
The red cloth slowly fell from the head of the Buddha, revealing the entire golden Buddha. The midday sun almost hit the Buddha directly, making the Buddha shine dazzlingly in the sun. People present couldn't help but marvel. In wonderment
In the sound, the sunlight and the reflected golden light slowly merged into one, as if there was a huge light column connected to the sun, as if it was absorbing the energy of the sun. People were stunned by this sight, and no one reacted for a while. After a while,
, the light beams began to spread out, surrounding the Buddha, forming a seven-color rainbow, like a dream.
Master Huiming murmured happily: "Buddha's light, Buddha's light." After saying this, he knelt down and prostrated in front of the Buddha.
The eminent monks who had been sitting cross-legged in front of the Buddha, chanting sutras and praying, also stood up and knelt down to worship the Buddha under the light of this rare noon in a thousand years. Han Minglu and Long Zaidong were also stunned by this strange scene.
"Buddha has appeared", "Longtou Mountain is blessed by a giant Buddha", "Let us go in and have a look"...
Suddenly, the surrounding crowd became commotion and rushed in desperately.
When Liang Hanbing heard something bad, he quickly ordered his entourage to protect Han Minglu, Long Zaidong and other leaders. When Xu Fan heard that something might happen, he fortunately made a plan, so he immediately stepped forward and said to Liang Hanbing: "Follow me."
After bypassing Master Huiming, we came to the back of the Buddha and entered the meditation room from a path.
After Xu Fan led the leaders into the meditation room, he said: "It's very safe here. Leaders, please wait here while I go out and take a look."
Han Minglu said: "Xu Fan, you can't conflict with the people. You must maintain good order, let alone a stampede accident."
Xu Fan said: "Secretary Han, don't worry, we have made arrangements." After saying that, he ran out.
