Chapter 1929: Twists and turns
After Zhao Xu said goodbye to Liu Wuque, he came to the back door of the Zen room.
The young novice monk stood at the door and said to Zhao Xu: "Donor Zhao, are you looking for our abbot?"
Zhao Xu nodded and said, "Thank you, little master!"
Since coming to "Lingyin Temple", Zhao Xu has become accustomed to all kinds of magical things. In his opinion, this little novice monk must be following Liu Wuque's wishes and waiting for him at the door.
After the young novice brought Zhao Xu to the abbot's Zen room, he said to the abbot: "Abbott, donor Zhao is here!"
This old abbot is about sixty years old.
Zhao Xu had met Liu Wuque before in his monastery.
Zhao Xu looked polite and politely greeted the abbot: "I've met the abbot!"
The abbot nodded, looked at Zhao Xu and asked, "Donor Zhao, are you here alone?"
"No, there are two more friends."
"Is there anyone named Ma?" the abbot asked.
Liu Wuque had just told Zhao Xu that he should come to the abbot for matters related to the Ma family. So, he nodded happily and said, "There is someone named Ma!"
The abbot told the young novice monk: "Mingcan, go and call the two friends of Donor Zhao over."
"Yes, abbot!"
After the young novice named "Mingcan" turned around and went out, the abbot said to Zhao Xu: "Donor Zhao, you have wisdom and want to become a monk?"
"A monk?" Zhao Xu was shocked. He shook his head and said with a smile: "Master Abbot, I have two sons and one daughter, and a virtuous and beautiful wife. I haven't seen through the world of mortals yet, so I don't want to become a monk!"
The abbot nodded and said: "If one day you see through the world of mortals and want to become a monk, the door of my Lingyin Temple will be open to you at any time."
"Thank you Abbot!"
Zhao Xu disapproved in his heart.
Even if he sees through the world of mortals, he doesn't want to become a monk. He might as well learn from his predecessors in his hometown, be at home all over the world, and do what he likes and enjoy.
After a while, the young novice monk came in with Chen Xiaodao and Ma Fu.
Zhao Xu introduced the two of them: "Uncle Ma, Xiaodao, this is the master abbot of Lingyin Temple!"
When Chen Xiaodao and Ma Fu heard this, they immediately saluted respectfully and said, "I have met Master Abbot!"
Master Abbot nodded, his eyes fell on Ma Fu. He asked aloud: "Who are you from Ma Wencai?"
"Back to Master Abbot, I am the third eldest child in the family and I am Ma Wencai's youngest son."
The abbot said: "Your father and I are good friends. You were not born at that time. In a blink of an eye, all the sons of my old friend have become middle-aged."
Ma Fu was shocked when he heard this. He did not expect that his father Ma Wencai had such a relationship with the abbot of Lingyin Temple.
"Master Abbot, you turned out to be my father's good friend. How disrespectful! How disrespectful!" Ma Fu bowed his hand to the abbot again.
The abbot said: "Your father once gave something to me, and he made an agreement with me that only descendants of the Ma family can come and pick it up. Are you here to pick up something your father gave me?"
Ma Fu looked stunned.
Zhao Xu winked at Ma Fu. Ma Fu understood and immediately nodded and said, "Yes, yes! I'm here to get Ma's things."
"I'll test you with a few questions, and if you answer them correctly, you can take this thing away," the abbot said.
"Excuse me, Master Abbot!"
"First, what year is your father's birth date?"
Ma Fu answered quickly and accurately.
"Second, where is the ancestral home of your Ma family?"
Ma Fu once again gave the answer quickly and accurately.
"Third, what are the surnames of your best friends in the Ma family?"
"Zhao, Qin, Zhang, Xiao!"
Ma Fu can answer these answers fluently.
Even Zhao Xu was a little surprised that Ma Fu could tell the answer so quickly.
How could Zhao Xu know that these answers have been there since Ma Fu was a child? Ma Wencai forced the three brothers to memorize this information. He told the three brothers that it would be useful in the future.
It wasn't until this moment that Ma Fu suddenly realized.
It turns out that my father, Marvin, was far-sighted and had long thought that such a day would come.
The abbot nodded, opened the drawer, and took out an exquisite copper key. Then he used the key to open the secret compartment of the drawer, took out an exquisite box from it and gave it to Ma Fu. He said: "This is what your father asked me to help."
Things that were kept for safekeeping. Now, they can finally be returned to their original owners.”
Ma Fu held up his hands and said to the abbot: "Thank you, master abbot!"
The abbot said: "If you are in trouble, please leave and go down the mountain as soon as possible! This is a pure place for Buddhism. We cannot invite killing. I have to be responsible for my disciples."
Zhao Xu, Chen Xiaodao and Ma Fu cupped their hands and said to the abbot: "Master abbot, take care!"
"Amitabha Buddha, three donors, take care!"
After bidding farewell to the abbot, Zhao Xu left "Lingyin Temple!" with Chen Xiaodao and Ma Fu!
Back in the car, Zhao Xu couldn't hold back his excitement and joy.
Before coming, Zhao Xu vaguely guessed that Ma Wencai's decision to let Ma Fu come to "Lingyin Temple" might have something to do with the Ma family's guardian ring.
Seeing that the abbot gave Ma Fu a square-sized box that looked like a jewelry, Zhao Xu said to Ma Fu impatiently: "Uncle Ma, please open the box and take a look. Is it the Ma family's guardian ring inside?"
Ma Fu said "Huh!" and opened the box.
The eyes of Zhao Xu, Chen Xiaodao and Ma Fu were all focused on the open box.
To the disappointment of the three people, there was only one special ticket in the box.
This ticket has a slightly yellow color and looks like it has been around for a while.
Zhao Xu thought it would be the Ma family's guardian ring, but he didn't expect it to be just a ticket.
Ma Fu picked up the tickets in the box, looked at them, and read: "Hangfa Central Bank depository and exchange!"
Ma Fu frowned and said, "Why did my dad ask me to come to Lingyin Temple to pick up this thing?"
Zhao Xu suddenly had an idea flash in his mind and said, "I know what this is for! Let's go to Hangfa Central Bank."
After saying that, he started the car and headed towards the main branch of "Hangfa Central Bank".
After many years, the "Hangfa Central Bank" has become very impressive. It is a skyscraper office building with a height of nearly 33 floors.
After arriving at the head office of "Hangfa Central Bank", Zhao Xu took Chen Xiaodao and Ma Fu into the bank.
A staff member came forward and asked Zhao Xu and the others, "What kind of business do you three want to do?"
Zhao Xu said to the staff: "We want to do depository and exchange business."
"Please come with me!"
The staff led Zhao Xu and the others to the place where the exchange business is kept.
Zhao Xu said to Ma Fu: "Uncle Ma, please lend me the note first."
Ma Fu said "Oh!" and hurriedly took out the tickets from the box and handed them to Zhao Xu's hand.
Zhao Xuliang took out the depository note and asked the staff: "Excuse me, is this depository note from your bank?"
When the staff member took a look at the depository note in Zhao Xu's hand, his expression suddenly changed slightly. His attitude toward Zhao Xu and the other two people became respectful, and he said, "Sir, this is your depository note. Please follow me."
