"In order to build Fengya buildings across the country, my father collected exotic flowers, rare plants, and rare stones everywhere."
"In order to cope with such errands, the government asked the people to transport the Huashi Gang, which was in huge quantities."
"Every county should build nine-story high-rise buildings to make them look elegant."
"In the past few years, I don't know how many people have died from exhaustion."
Xiao Mingxuan frowned and said, Emperor Renzong was still very young at that time.
"Your Highness, be careful what you say."
"Although Your Majesty is not like the late Emperor, he will not be punished for his words." The Master Taifu immediately grabbed the Prince and persuaded him in a low voice.
"But my father favors the old monk of unknown origin."
“Construction projects are being carried out everywhere, but what is the intention?”
"No, I have to meet my father."
Xiao Mingxuan shook his head and decided to go find his father, Emperor Zhang Zong.
After Xiaozong came Zhangzong, and after Zhangzong came Renzong.
…
"The prince is still too young." Emperor Zhangzong, whose hair and beard was already a little white, listened to the prince's speech in the court, and when he came back, a strange smile appeared on his face.
"Namo Amitabha."
"The prince has such a benevolent heart, which is very much like His Majesty. It is a great blessing for the court." The old monk Daoyan replied with a smile.
Over the long years of cooperation, the two have developed a close friendship.
They did a lot of experiments and got a lot of useful conclusions.
"He has a benevolent heart, but he doesn't understand the human heart."
"How will the world be governed in the future? We cannot rely on our elders for everything."
"I have an agreement with my grandfathers."
Emperor Zhang Zong shook his head and sighed.
"Master, I leave this matter to you."
"It is my duty to do so."
…
Shangjing,teahouse
"Old monk, you have seduced my father into overhauling temples and Fengya Towers all over the world."
"What do you mean by bringing me to this teahouse now?" Xiao Mingxuan suppressed his anger and asked the old monk in a low voice.
And Dao Yan said with a gentle smile.
"Your Highness, don't be anxious. I just want Your Highness to see something."
"What are you looking at?"
"The human heart."
The old monk smiled warmly and immediately called two waiters.
"What do you call the two benefactors?"
"My name is Gouzi." "My name is Heizi."
"Master, what's the matter with you?" The two waiters in the teahouse looked at each other. They didn't know why this guest was so crazy that he asked two waiters to come and serve him.
There are not many people around now, so I just chatted with the old monk for a few words, but it didn't mean anything.
What's more, in the teahouse in Shangjing, the waiter's eyesight was very good, and he could tell that the old monk and the young man were both rich and noble people.
"Of course it's a good thing for you." The old monk took out one hundred taels of silver and some copper coins.
"I want you to share the money, but you only have one chance."
"Penny?" Gouzi looked at the old monk doubtfully, thinking that he was out of his mind.
"Here are one hundred taels of silver and ten copper coins."
"From this dog benefactor, give it to this black benefactor."
"If you don't have any doubts about the distribution of this money, I will give it away."
Daoyan put one hundred taels of silver and ten Wen coins into Gouzi's hands.
Gouzi took the money and thought he was dreaming.
"Hey, my mother."
"Master Mage, you can't frame us."
Gouzi swallowed his saliva and couldn't help but ask. Heizi's eyes were shining brightly as he stared at the money.
"Namo Amitabha."
"Monks don't lie."
"Donor, please see, as long as this brother is here, this little money is nothing."
The old monk smiled, pointed at Xiao Mingxuan and said.
The waiters in the shop are all people with excellent eyesight. The silk and satin Xiao Mingxuan is wearing is probably more valuable than their lives, costing hundreds of taels of silver at least. There is really no need to deceive yourself.
"Master, please speak." Gouzi was excited. It must be the Buddha who listened to his prayers and sent such good things to him.
"No matter how much the dog donor gives to the black donor."
"Even if it's just a penny, as long as you agree, it will all belong to you two." The old monk continued, making Heizi's eyes sparkle.
"But if the black donor doesn't agree, then I will have no choice but to take the money back."
The old monk explained everything about how to divide the money. He gave Gouzi one hundred taels of silver and ten cents, and asked Gouzi to share the money with Heizi.
If Gouzi shares the money and Heizi agrees, then it belongs to them.
"You only get one chance."
"Donor, let's begin."
Gouzi's breathing became a little rapid, and Heizi was winking at Gouzi crazily.
"Brother Dog, Brother Dog!"
Let's split it half and half. It's a lot of money.
How many taels of silver do you have to give Heizi before he agrees?
Half and half, no, too much.
I am his big brother, he must listen to me.
Thirty-seven is still too much.
This black guy has always been timid, a despicable brat, a coward.
He's not worth the money.
Finally Gouzi made up his mind, and under Heizi's hopeful eyes, he said a number.
"Ten cents, Heizi, you got it for free."
"This money was all picked up for free."
"Take it."
In the past, if Heizi picked up a penny on the street, he would be happy for a long time.
Now he burst into volcanic rage over the ten cents he had picked up for free. He threw the money directly to the old monk and pointed at the dog's nose.
"Zinima's son of a bitch!"
Gouzi's face first turned pale, then turned livid, pointing at Heizi's nose and yelling curses
"You shameless bitch!"
The two parties struggled together, and both of them struck hard to the death. The beatings were so severe that the skin and flesh were torn and blood flew everywhere.

When the old monk saw the two of them fighting, he took the money back and transmitted the secret technique to His Highness the Prince.
[Your Highness, can you see this human heart? 】
【I don’t understand what you mean.】
Xiao Mingxuan's face became extremely ugly when he saw the waiter being teased.
【Ordinary people will be very happy if they pick up a penny on the road.】
[Now this black benefactor should have received ten cents for nothing.]
[He has to take away a penny and drag the doggy donor into the water. 】
【This is the human heart.】
The old monk spoke slowly, leaving Xiao Mingxuan speechless.
[If you look at it from another angle, this court is the dog-like benefactor, the one who distributes the money.]
[If the people knew that the court was going to spend one hundred taels of silver to divide it, they would ask for half of it.]
[Look at the black donor, the lowest requirement in his heart is actually 70-30.]
[And if the black benefactor didn’t know that he had the one hundred taels of silver, he would still be grateful even if he was given ten cents.]
[If the doggy benefactor knew that the black benefactor would rather fall out than accept ten cents, then he would raise the price. ]
【The human heart can be measured and used.】
[This is what Your Highness should learn from, instead of talking about benevolence and righteousness in vain.]
[There is a saying in Taoism: The best thing is like water, because water can be moved down, but if you have a keel waterwheel, you can still make the water flow up. 】
[Your Highness must pay close attention to this if he wants to unite the Black Emperor’s military prime ministers.]
Xiao Mingxuan felt a slight chill in his heart. This old monk was really terrifying. He could think of people's hearts to this extent.
[Old monk, what is your real purpose? 】
【Namo Amitabha.】
[Your Highness, do you think gods really exist? 】
【Is Taoism considered a god?】
[I can sense spiritual thoughts, but I can’t hear the Buddha reprimanding my every move.]
[Buddhism talks about the heart. If I have a thorough understanding of the human heart, can I go to Guixu and take a look? 】
The old monk smiled and said.
[I don’t understand.] Emperor Renzong shook his head hesitantly, and in the end he just sighed.
…
Chu Qianqiu opened his eyes, as if he could still hear Emperor Renzong's sigh.
I don't understand.
At that time, Emperor Renzong still had good intentions. After he ascended the throne, he eventually transformed into the old emperor of the Xiao family.
"Could it be that Tianji Pavilion wanted to explore Guixu, so it united with the royal family?"
"But what does this have to do with him disrupting the world?"
"Could he unblock Dao Sui and let Dao Sui help him explore Guixu?"
Chu Qianqiu thought of a possibility and broke into a cold sweat.
In order to explore his desire to return to the ruins, he did not hesitate to cooperate with the royal family and push the world into the abyss. It was indeed terrifying.
"After I take power, the first thing I will do is to arrest Tianji Pavilion and get to the bottom of them."
"As for Emperor Renzong, even if you were a good person once, you are no longer a good person."
"I'll give you a ride now."
"If you have any questions in the future, let's have a good chat with Buddha."
Chu Qianqiu sensed the remaining soul in the ancestral orifice between the eyebrows, mobilized the underworld characteristics, and prepared to completely digest the soul.
At this critical moment, His Majesty Renzong's soul suddenly emitted a ray of black-gold light.
That ray of black golden light is majestic and elusive.
