Rebirth 13, starting from the big demolition treasure hunt

Wu Yuansheng had already thought about the words he wanted to write.

When he was visiting the Nanshan Temple Scenic Area the day before yesterday, he saw two large characters written on the two opposite gate tower signs in front of the mountain gate, which made him very enlightened and impressed him deeply.

The words written on these two signs are:

"One thing"

"No two"

At that time, he listened to a beautiful tour guide explaining the meaning of these four words to tourists, which was quite artistic and state-of-the-art.

What the beautiful woman meant, he later checked online on his mobile phone:

"One reality", one is the only, reality is the reality, the only and true phase is the essence or truth of everything in the universe.

"Reality" can be understood as the real, unchanging essence.

"Fudu" is also called "non-duality", and it also means "unique".

Some temples have the "Non-duality Dharma", which is a kind of spiritual practice. It is said that after passing through this "Dharma", one must look at everything with equality.

("Non-duality" is also the highest level among the eighty-four thousand Dharma doors of the Buddha.

Its extended meaning is "incredible, the only way to enter the door, the absolute truth!")

If you use words to explain it, it actually cannot be fully explained. It can only be understood, not expressed in words, and you have to understand it yourself.

"One thing is the same."

Picking up the paper and pen, he quickly wrote these four words on the paper.

"What do you mean?"

Seeing him writing the words, Hu Zhixiang didn't understand, so he asked him.

"Xiao Wu, have you gone to Nanshan Temple to play in the past two days?"

Just when he was about to give Hu Zhixiang a brief explanation, Mr. Wang turned back to look at him and asked him with a smile.

"Yes! So you must have been there too!"

After looking at Mr. Wang, Wu Yuansheng said to him.

"Have I indeed been to the newly emerging Buddhist holy places, the Nanhai Guanyin Statue and Nanshan Temple? I went there a few years ago."

While he was talking, he found a long piece of rice paper, which was used to write calligraphy on the four-character banner.

"I asked why I haven't seen you in the past few days. It turns out you went out to play! How about it? Is it fun there?"

After listening to their conversation, Xiao Xie also followed suit.

"It's not bad! The coastal city has nice scenery, blue sea and blue sky. If you really want to know if it's good, you'd better go and see it in person!"

He felt that hearing a hundred times was worth a sight.

"Xiao Wu, do you want to write alone or separately?"

What Mr. Wang means is to imitate the house number over there, "Yi Shi" is written on a piece of paper, and "Fu Er" is written on a piece of paper.

"Just write it on a piece of paper, no need to write in seal script."

He said this, and Mr. Wang helped him write it down according to the style of the characters on the two gates of Nanshan Temple.

"One thing is the same thing."

During this period, Hu Zhixiang continued the previous topic and asked them to explain the meaning of "one reality" and "non-duality".

Mr. Wang said that the "One Truth" method is the way to enter the truth and true nature of all things, and the emphasis is on "truth".

The "non-dual" method is the way to enter Taoism, and the somewhat "empty" artistic conception is the level of spiritual consciousness.

Of course, he also said that these were his perceptions. The true artistic conception can only be understood and cannot be described in words.

It seems that he is quite advanced. He is almost 70 years old, his family is in good condition, he has been to many places, and he has learned a lot.

At a certain level, Taoism and Dharma are all interlinked.

Speaking of "the only method", Hu Zhixiang said that this four-character phrase was very artistic, and asked Mr. Wang to write a phrase, and he wanted to make a plaque according to this.

"Is this where porcelain is cut and holes are drilled?"

After a while, a man about forty-five years old walked in from the door. He glanced at everyone and asked directly.

"Yes! But there is a processing fee, and the machine is subject to wear and tear. A cutting blade won't last long!"

After listening to what the man said, Hu Zhixiang said to him.

"Then how do you charge?"

The man about forty-five years old asked again.

“Cutting, grinding, and drilling are all 10 yuan a piece. If you have a large quantity, you can get a discount!”

The prices mentioned here are different prices. If a piece of porcelain is cut, polished and drilled, it will cost 30 yuan.

"I don't have many here, just 5 pieces. I will cut, polish and drill them all. You can get a better discount!"

The man continued.

"Let me take a look at your porcelain pieces first!"

Hu Zhixiang walked towards the man as he spoke.

Wu Yuansheng also followed, intending to see what kind of porcelain pieces he had brought.

"You can't get discounts on these!"

After looking at the five pieces of porcelain in his hand, Lao Hu said simply.

What this man brought over was all at the bottom of the bowl.

No wonder there is no discount.

If the bottom of a bowl or plate is thick or large, it will be much more difficult to cut, polish, and drill holes.

Especially the raised part of the rim at the bottom of the bowl, cutting and polishing takes a lot of time and causes great damage to the cutting sand.

If it is the edge of the bowl, those places that are easy to cut, you will definitely get a discount.

As for why he couldn't get a discount, he also told this person the reason.

The man thought about it and thought it made sense, so he agreed.

Wu Yuansheng took a look at the five porcelain tiles he brought over. They were all very good. There were three "high official and high salary", one "Kuixing diandou" and one "Yongle year system".

After negotiating the price, Lao Hu turned on the machine and started to help the man cut the porcelain pieces.

He is self-taught and has been trying for more than half a year. He cuts some pieces every day and is now quite proficient.

After about 20 minutes, all five porcelain pieces were "made" as required.

Looking at the polished and rounded finished product, it does look much better than the previous broken porcelain pieces.

The man took out five red ropes, put them on and hung them around his neck to try them out. They felt pretty good.

This rope is only for temporary use. He will definitely find someone who specializes in rope braiding later and buy a better one to string together.

After finding that there was no problem, he paid the money and left with the porcelain tiles.

"Earn 20 in 150 minutes! Yes!"

After the forty-five-year-old man left, Xiao Xie said to Hu Zhixiang with a smile.

"How can there be 150? The wear and tear of the machine does not count, and the money for the hard work does not count? How about I give you a piece of porcelain to cut, or the bottom of a bowl, you try it!"

Lao Hu disagrees with his statement that he makes a lot of money without paying anything.

"I don't know your skills! Let's forget it!"

Hu Zhixiang now not only makes items himself, but also charges processing fees for cutting and drilling holes for others.

However, there are not many people who come to him for processing. After all, there are only a limited number of people who like to collect.

"It's not too early. I should go back. I have some things to do in the evening. Come back tomorrow!"

Mr. Wang took out his mobile phone, checked the time, and said to everyone.

Wu Yuansheng also took out his mobile phone and looked at it, 17:12.

The weather here in winter is indeed not early at this time.

"Teacher Wang, are you really okay? If you are okay, Boss Wu and I will take care of the place and have dinner at the restaurant next to you tonight!"

Seeing him walking out with the bag he brought, Xiao Xie said.

"It's really something, let's talk about it next time!"

After saying that, he walked out of the door.

After Mr. Wang left, they greeted Hu Zhixiang and left with their calligraphy.
