After Niu Er took the psychic elixir powder, his demonic nature became stronger, and he started to dance the magic sword given by Wuxu. Every move was precise and powerful.
Wuxu looked at it for a moment and couldn't help but feel dumb. It turned out to be Li Mingshan's Ziyang Sword Technique, but it was just after Li Mingshan became a demon. As expected, Wuxu secretly thought, but no longer cared about him, so he went to the secret room and sat cross-legged.
Nowadays, if you want to build a monastery, you must have spiritual talents, and if you want to have spiritual talents, you must start with border trade. However, the interests involved in border trade are complicated and complex, and there are many unknown variables. To realize this, we can only enter into concentration.
View.
There is a saying in Buddhism about letting go. Ordinary people, many times, when things are complicated, they can put it down temporarily, and then sort it out, or gain inspiration. However, when practitioners face problems, they will not just put it down temporarily.
, but should refer to the precepts, concentration, and wisdom in practice. Regarding precepts, concentration, and wisdom, both Buddhism and Confucianism have discussed it. It is said that precepts can lead to concentration, and concentration can lead to wisdom.
Of course, Wuxu's meditation at this moment is only initial concentration, not deep meditation.
After realizing the emptiness, in the initial concentration, I regain my thoughts and observe everything. All the people and things related to border trade are like a fleeting glimpse, like dust, like the tide... Occasionally there are distracting thoughts or other things in the middle.
Then came the secret. There were also some seemingly unrelated colors, even a glimmer of light, or an almost inaudible sound...
This is also a kind of practice, and it is a kind of practice similar to "transcendence". If you don't have any thoughts and just stay in concentration, you will be at ease. However, you have to have thoughts and observe the many causes and effects in the world. And, so
Entering concentration and observing is different from entering concentration and observing when you first learn this method. When you first learn this method, you observe and then want to enter concentration, but when you realize that you are in concentration at the moment, you can observe again.
In the past, in the so-called border trade transactions, monks put various spiritual resources in storage rings and carried them with them, without being inspected and difficult to check. It was a reform of the system. In order to prevent monks from secretly reselling large amounts of spiritual resources, shouldn't it be right?
Can monks who belong to the Demon Realm Chamber of Commerce or Tongyi Academy conduct a search?...
Could it be that the so-called simplification of trade procedures and reduction of tariffs proposed by Yu Xianzi and others was due to some rumors? By then, the Great Zhou Dynasty and the Demon Realm
The border trade in Yongzhou City is entirely a transaction between officials, such as the Chamber of Commerce and Tongyi Yuan? So, there are accounts that can be checked?...
, Wuxu remembered that at that time, Fairy Yu made this request to himself, the city lord, but he did not pay attention to it because of his wrong understanding of border trade...
If this is the case, the five aristocratic families in Yongzhou City must have no direct trading rights, and Fairy Yu and others do not need to negotiate with them in this way? Is it because the five aristocratic families are deeply entangled in Yongzhou City, and there are many people in the city lord's palace and the garrison?
Less power?....
The most important thing is, how to legitimately collect taxes from this, or get a relatively sufficient amount? The proposal of Yu Xianzi and others obviously represents the meaning of the three major sects of the Demon Realm. By then, it is estimated that they will also ask the Great Zhou court
Put forward this proposal...
As the saying goes, caring leads to chaos. If Wuxu doesn't pay attention, these specific and complicated things will come one after another, like a tsunami one after another, rushing Wuxu out of concentration.
This was repeated several times, and Wuxu couldn't help but feel a little depressed in his heart, as if there was a nameless fire about to arise in his heart. If this continued, there was a possibility that he would slip into the devil's land. Wuxu hurriedly concentrated his mind, and resumed his ordinary practice methods to control all kinds of things.
The thought was meditated again, but the so-called "moving the mind to think" was extinguished, and it was like escaping from the world, and then fell into concentration.
Several days passed before Wuxu came out of concentration. At this time, the jade communication plaque on his body flashed, and Wuxu looked at it with his spiritual consciousness.
News came from Xu Chuanshan. Fairy Yu and the other three people from the Demon Realm had reached a private agreement with the five major families in the city, and they were all waiting for Wuxu, the city lord, to summon them to discuss the matter of the monastery.
Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhang Cuilu and others selected an area at the back of Niutoushan Mountain and were building courtyards and arranging restrictions by themselves.
They had reached some kind of agreement in private? It seemed like they didn't intend to tell the city lord to him? And then they seemed to want to make some kind of exchange with themselves about the monastery...Wuxu thought secretly in his heart.
No, they made a decision and acted, but they hadn’t thought clearly yet! After thinking about it for a while, they had no choice but to try to meditate and observe again.
This time, Wuxu entered the initial concentration,
The thought was still slightly aroused, but when those specific things or scenes directly related to border trade, as well as those hidden distracting thoughts, as well as the inexplicable light, color and sound, appeared, Wuxu immediately stopped or put it down.
After understanding the thought that just arose, use the method of contemplation in Buddhist practice to observe it again.
In this way, going back and forth is equivalent to wasting effort and useless effort. But gradually, I realized the void and had an epiphany. Come and go, but I can come and go freely. I can have thoughts at any time, and meditate and return to concentration at any time.
In this way, as time goes by, incredible scenes appear. Those people, scenes, and even hidden thoughts are eliminated one by one, leaving only inexplicable lights, colors, and sounds that appear occasionally and disappear quickly.
In this way, a long time passed, and suddenly a purple-red color appeared. Wuxu suddenly sensed something, and seemed to have some enlightenment. He then concentrated on observing carefully, and emerged from concentration.
"Qian Dan!" Wu Xu muttered to himself.
Back then, in the Duobao Pavilion in the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty, when Qian Dan was leaving, he took advantage of his own inattention and placed some sort of Hehe Sect Yin-Yang Cave Blood Spirit Seal on himself, asking him to take care of the Duobao Pavilion for him.
The black market business on Xuanyin Star lasted for three years, and what identity certificate was left behind.
Just now, Wuxu was observing in concentration, and finally a flash of inspiration occurred, and what he sensed was the identity certificate, a purple-red knife.
Wuxu took out this one-inch knife and played with it. This knife had a simple shape, but was extremely delicate. It should not be a weapon, but an ancient coin. Wuxu guessed, and then poured a little spiritual power into it.
But there was no movement at all. Wuxu carefully released a trace of his spiritual consciousness, and the knife moved slightly, and then there was a slight flash of light, and a message was transmitted.
It turns out that this thing is called the Blood Spirit Knife. There seems to be something mysterious inside the knife. As long as enough spiritual consciousness is injected into it, some information will appear or even be queried. These messages are all from Duobao Pavilion (or Qian Dan himself?) in the mysterious
Yin Xing’s black market business records.
Wuxu thought for a while, while injecting more consciousness into the Blood Spirit Sword, he attached the information about Yongzhou City to his consciousness. Soon, the Blood Spirit Sword flashed purple and red, and sent a message back to Wuxu.
message.
Yongzhou City, Pine Smoke Spring, Mid-Autumn Night, the black market is open.
