Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 227 Nascent Soul Miscellaneous Talk
After the meeting, Zhang Miao sent Wu Shui to the courtyard where she was staying.When they arrived at the gate of the courtyard, Wu Shui suddenly remembered something, and then she said apologetically to Zhang Miao: "I didn't buy the remains of the sacred tree you asked me to buy. The Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce said that the remains of the sacred tree are temporarily unavailable. I'm afraid we have to wait three days." 50 years.”

"I thought this was true, but after reading your letter, I felt that they were targeting you. I have ordered not to do business with Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce."

She said it lightly, as if she didn't take it to heart.In fact, Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce is their largest trading partner. It doesn't matter to her if the trade with the Chamber of Commerce is cut off. She does not live off the trade of the Chamber of Commerce.But people in Atami who live by trade are in trouble.

Zhang Miao immediately thought of this, and he said to the empress sincerely: "I don't need to be like this, normal business activities should not be stopped. After all, many materials in Atami rely on them for circulation."

Empress Wushui sneered and said, "Without the Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce, wouldn't there be other chambers of commerce? They are not the only ones doing this business. It's okay. Business is a very important matter. If Sangzhe doesn't do it, there will be a lot of people doing it." .”

Empress Wushui's words made Zhang Miao a little curious, and he asked: "Empress Wu's words are a bit confusing. Is the Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce more anxious than you?"

Empress Wushui was slightly startled and said, "This is closely related to the achievement of the Nascent Soul. Why, you don't know the key to this? No one in your sect told you?"

Their sect only had three or five big cats and kittens, so how could anyone tell him.Zhang Miao shook his head and said: "The sect records that the essence of the sun and the moon is needed to achieve the Nascent Soul. I only know this."

When Wu Shui heard this, she understood immediately. She also knew a little about the current situation of the Feilai Sect, so she said to herself: "It seems that you have reserved a way to achieve Nascent Soul."

She smiled and said, "It's okay, I'll tell you how to achieve Nascent Soul."

"Nascent Soul, also known as Yang Shen, Innate Qi, Eighth Consciousness, etc. It is the manifestation of essence and spirit, and the sublimation of transcending the physical body. A long time ago, the end of spiritual practice was to reach Nascent Soul. Because Yuanying has a long life There are at least three thousand, and it is not surprising that those who live a long life may live five thousand or eight thousand. Moreover, the Nascent Soul can be resurrected and reincarnated with consciousness. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as a kind of eternal life."

"Cultivation in this world also takes Yuanying as the limit. If you want to transcend Yuanying, you must go to the upper world."

"Therefore, Nascent Soul can be said to be the lifelong pursuit of all monks."

"And if you want to be promoted to Nascent Soul, you must break the elixir and become a soul. The golden elixir is the seed, and the Nascent Soul is the fruit of the golden elixir. And if you want to achieve results, you must have external help."

Having said this, Wu Shui paused for a moment, and then her palm suddenly lit up, and a round golden elixir appeared in her hand.She said seriously: "Did you know that you are pregnant in ten months? The growth of any life begins with a seed. This seed contains all the energy and spirit. When the seed begins to develop, it will undergo various changes. "

Under Wu Shui's explanation, the round golden elixir in her palm began to change, just like a cell dividing. The golden elixir suddenly divided into two, then two turned into four, four turned into eight, and slowly became A curled up baby.

"This is the gestation process of a baby, and the same is true for the golden elixir. But if the yin does not grow, the yang cannot live. The same is true for the golden elixir, which contains essence, energy, and spirit. But without a stimulus, it will not grow. Become a Nascent Soul."

Seeing this, an idea suddenly flashed through Zhang Miao's mind, and then he said involuntarily: "This thing is like an egg and needs to be fertilized?" This is high school biology knowledge!
When Empress Wushui heard it, although she didn't quite understand it, she probably understood the meaning.She nodded and said, "Yes, men and women need to be matched to have children, and golden elixirs also need to be matched."

When Zhang Miao heard this, he was stunned, and then murmured to himself: "Do we really need a Taoist companion..."

Empress Wushui rolled her eyes at him and said, "What are you thinking! If it were so simple, wouldn't the Yuanying be flying all over the sky?" She paused and said, "If you want to break the elixir and become a baby, you must introduce Qi. This Qi is not Qi, but a kind of original power of life." She said, and wrote a strange rune with her fingers in the air.This rune is 'Qi'.

This rune is very special. No matter what kind of rune it is in, it appears as the same character.It means 'all energy returns to its origin', and it also means 'creating something out of nothing'.

"This Qi theoretically exists in all things. But over the years, the monks have discovered that there are several kinds of Qi that are best to refine. One of them is the 'Essence of the Sun and the Moon'. This should be recorded in your classics. "

Zhang Miao nodded, this was in the Feilai Sect's inheritance.Zhang Miao just knew that he needed this thing to advance to Nascent Soul, and he also knew how to refine it.In Feilai Sect, refining this thing requires the combined efforts of the Five Elements Spirit Pool.As for whether other sects have other methods, he doesn't know.

Empress Wushui continued: "Feilai Sect is a ten thousand-year-old sect, so it naturally has a way to refine the essence of the sun and moon. Other sects with the same inheritance also have their own secret methods. However, some small sects may lack this secret method."

"But!" At this point, she paused for a moment and said emphatically: "But to advance to the Nascent Soul, there is not only one way to rely on the essence of the sun and the moon. There are other Qi that can be used. For example, the Feng Shui in mountains and rivers Qi, for example, the Qi of wealth and silk among merchants, or the Qi of evil spirits in the bloody light of military disasters. These Qi can be used to advance to the Nascent Soul, and they are also the Qi that monks can easily refine at present."

She pointed at herself slightly and said, "It was by chance that I found a ball of Feng Shui Qi and was promoted to Nascent Soul."

Wu Shui's words actually increased Zhang Miao's knowledge a lot.A long time ago, if a monk wanted to be promoted to Nascent Soul, there was almost only one way, and that was to extract the essence of the sun and the moon, and then rely on the essence of the sun and the moon to advance.At that time, the golden elixir monks could hardly go out. They breathed in the energy of the sun and the moon every day, and then condensed a little bit of the essence of the sun and the moon. After 800 years of accumulation, they could be promoted after accumulating enough of the essence of the sun and the moon.

At that time, this thing was hard currency, and almost all transactions between Jindan monks relied on it.Later, as spiritual practice continued to develop, people who were forced to seek help began to look for other ways out.Then, some people were promoted to Nascent Soul through the Qi of Feng Shui.The Qi of Feng Shui can also be regarded as the product of heaven and earth.Since there are sun and moon, there must be heaven and earth.This Qi of Feng Shui is the product of heaven and earth.They are often hidden in places where wind and energy are stored. After thousands of years of accumulation, they become the energy of Feng Shui.

The Qi of Feng Shui does not need to be refined by the monks themselves. This thing has been refined by heaven, earth and time, and can be used as soon as it is brought.Therefore, people who are unwilling to squat at home and swallow the essence of the sun and the moon every day start to look for Feng Shui treasures everywhere, hoping to find a ball of Feng Shui Qi to reach the sky.This is also the reason why monks go out to travel. If you have great luck and find the Qi of Feng Shui, that will be it!
Both schools rely on the sky, the earth, the sun and the moon. They are environmental schools, and what they pay attention to is following nature.

This kind of behavior of relying on heaven will naturally make some monks unhappy.These monks rely on their own efforts for everything in their practice. They earn their own resources and practice their own techniques. They have to be full of energy every day for fear of falling behind even half a point.But if achieving Nascent Soul requires taking a chance (looking for the Qi of Feng Shui) and relying on God (sucking in the essence of the sun and moon), wouldn't it be too passive!

As a result, these monks looked for other ways.With the continuous efforts of countless monks, some monks discovered that in the coming and going of people and the flow of money, the energy of wealth and silk can be born.As long as there are transactions, this Qi can be born, and the more frequent the transactions and the more people it comes into contact with, the more prosperous this Qi will be.

The monks discovered that places with frequent economic and trade activities also had a large population. The more populous a place, the more frequent trade.The two complement each other.And the Qi of wealth and silk formed here is what they need.Therefore, some monks deliberately reproduced the population and cultivated trade.Then extract the Qi of wealth and silk from it so that they can be promoted to Nascent Soul.

Although this method is cumbersome, it has an advantage.That is to say, this is not about relying on the weather. As long as the population explodes and trade explodes, it may be possible to extract enough wealth for promotion within a year or two.

'Is it difficult to extract wealth and silk?Is it difficult for Yuanying to be promoted?How difficult is it to get promoted? After so many years, haven’t you relied on all this money? '

'What if you find it difficult?Then ask yourself, have you worked hard to increase the population and create trade?If you can't do these things, why do you have the nerve to say that it's difficult to be promoted to Nascent Soul?You still have the nerve to say that it is difficult to withdraw money and silk? '

Monks who follow this path cannot complain about the difficulty of cultivation, they can only blame themselves for not working hard.Because taking this path, hard work really pays off.The monks who take this path are basically from large cultivating families.Because things like population and business can be passed down from generation to generation. As long as they are managed well, they will accumulate more and more. This kind of thing is very suitable for cultivating families.

The last way to advance to Nascent Soul is the path of blood and light.To put it bluntly, just kill.Extract a little evil spirit from the passing of life.There is a saying that says, "Killing one person is a sin, killing ten thousand people is a hero, and killing millions, one should be considered a hero among heroes." '

This is also a path to give full play to subjective initiative, but because of too much use of subjective initiative, you may kill the wrong person at the beginning, offend the master who should not be offended, and then be killed by others seeking revenge... This road is not easy. OK, few people take this road now.

Zhang Miao's Feilai Sect only has the first path. Their sect has a special method of refining the essence of the sun and the moon, so naturally they will not follow other paths.Anyway, whether it is the development of the sect or the follow-up of Zhang Miao's practice, he must repair the Five Elements Spirit Pool. If he does not repair this treasure, everything will be in vain.

And for the monks who draw wealth from their people and merchants, cutting off their wealth is really like killing their parents.In fact, there is a limit to the growth of the population. An area is only so big and has so many resources. There is a limit to the number of people it can support.As for the behavior of merchants, the flow of trade is unlimited.One transaction between people can only produce a little money, but what if they trade ten times or a hundred times?
Of course, the calculations are very complicated. Anyway, you only need to know that more goods circulate and more exchanges of goods can not only provide more materials to feed more people, but also generate more people. Just money and silk will do.It's no wonder that monks in the backward and remote bamboo sea came to buy the bamboo wares made by Father Zhang.

It doesn't matter what people trade with each other. Anyway, as long as there is trade, there will be money.The energy of wealth and silk will not be generated more because both parties to the transaction are monks.Of course, if it is just a simple transaction of 'fake money', it will not produce wealth.In other words, stock and currency speculation cannot generate wealth.

The environment of Atami is indeed unsatisfactory, and the population is also small.But after all, there are millions of Atami people and some fairies here, and the wealth generated every year should not be underestimated.If the Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce cuts off this trade route, then they will lose a lot of money!Empress Wushui does not need money and silk, so her influence is naturally not great.But those owners of chambers of commerce who need money will jump in and yell!
Therefore, as the big boss, the Xi family refused to trade with Empress Wushui, and then Empress Wushui cut off the business. There were many people in the Sangzhe Chamber of Commerce who opposed this, and the Xi family was under great pressure.

Anyway, Empress Wushui is not in a hurry, let’s see who can survive!That's why the empress is so confident.

Knowing this, Zhang Miao finally had some knowledge in his mind.He still said to the empress: "Having said that, there are still many Atami people who rely on trade to make a living. After all, they are all the empress's people..."

Empress Wushui glanced at Zhang Miao with a bit of surprise in her eyes. She unexpectedly said: "I didn't expect you to have such a conscience... This is somewhat surprising."

Zhang Miao could only say: "I just don't want more people to fall into trouble because of me. This is not in line with my way."

The empress nodded thoughtfully, and then she looked at Zhang Miao with even more satisfaction.She lightly patted Zhang Miao on the shoulder and said, "Not bad. As expected, he is someone Ling Bo likes. He is responsible. You don't have to worry too much. I will take care of their support. I am very rich."

She made a gesture with a smile and said: "As long as the seam of my fingers is exposed, it will be enough for the people of Atami to eat for several years." At this point, she suddenly winked and said: "How about it? If you marry me, , if there is even a little leakage between my fingers, it will be enough for you to eat for a lifetime."

Hearing her words, Zhang Miao was silent for a moment this time, and then said, "Your Majesty is looking for fun with me again."

But Empress Wu Shui laughed and said: "Brother Zhang, this time you are not as determined as you were last time in denying it! You hesitated this time! Hahaha, it seems there is still hope for my Lingbo!"

Her words were not concealed at all, which made Ling Bo on the other side blush slightly, and also made Ge Rong on the other side feel nervous.
