Chapter 99: The King of Mount Meru
Chu Qiguang looked at the water-powered spinning machine and water-powered loom he had drawn, and thought to himself that if they were about to be put into use, I am afraid that they would have to call someone who is proficient in this way to develop them.
But in this world, just learning knowledge can lead to demons, and people with a little ability have gone to learn martial arts and Taoism.
Therefore, in Chu Qiguang's view, the technology and culture of this world are much slower than those on earth, and there are far fewer researchers.
'You have to find some craftsmen and women who have been working in the textile industry for a long time to make it possible......
Keeping the matter in mind for the time being, Chu Qiguang thought that he would ask the Wu family's connections to help find a craftsman tomorrow, and then began to think about another matter.
After the opening of the mutual market in the north, the demand for cotton cloth and silk will definitely increase greatly, and the textile industry is the easiest thing to start mass production, and it will be too wasteful not to seize this opportunity. β
But then the demand for cotton will increase, but if there are more people growing cotton, then there will be a shortage of grain, and if you import grain from other places, the price of grain will rise.
And when a large amount of silver from the northern demon clan enters the south, it will cause the silver to depreciate and the price to rise......
Chu Qiguang thought about the impact of the next mutual market in the north on the Han court, and after a while, he put away the scroll, and had a clear idea of the next arrangement.
It's all for the silver, and if you want to be strong, you have to earn more money. β
With this idea, Chu Qiguang opened the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" on the side.
There is no text on this scripture, and the first ten or so pages are just portraits, and the portrait shows a bareheaded man making various movements, the portrait looks cheap, naΓ―ve and rough, and the man's movements in the portrait are strange but mysterious.
When Chu Qiguang saw these portraits, a feeling that could only be understood and indescribable came to his heart, it was a kind of ...... A grotesque sense of sacredness.
The more he looked at these portraits, the more Chu Qiguang felt enchanted, as if he could see countless sacred flames burning on the man's body, and the man let out a painful and excited roar in the flames, all of which were both sacred and evil, both wild and exquisite...... It's fascinating.
He seemed to see the chaotic light and fire also burning on him, and he felt his qi and blood begin to run uncontrollably, and his chest and abdomen began to heat up slightly......
At the same time, a mysterious comprehension sounded in Chu Qiguang's heart, it was not any words, any language, but a pure idea, a grotesque perception, a mysterious understanding......
Chu Qiguang's heart reflected his understanding of this feeling.
"Animals have their own strengths, but the human body has its own strength, dexterity and the ability to dissipate heat. Sumeru Mountain King Sutra...... It is to take advantage of endurance, heat dissipation, and hands. β
"Raise the temperature of qi and blood......"
"Strengthen the brain through the movement of the fingers and improve the efficiency of qi and blood......"
"Sustain ...... for a long time"
Chu Qiguang just looked at the images on the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" in a daze, the temperature of his body was constantly increasing, and the ten fingers of his hands were dancing wildly unconsciously.
When his temperature rose to a very dangerous situation, Qiao Zhi's cat's claws snapped to help Chu Qiguang close the Sutra of the King of Mount Meru, and the abnormal changes on Chu Qiguang's body finally stopped.
And in his heart...... The indescribable curiosity still lingered, as if a palm was gently scratching his chest, urging him to open the scriptures and continue reading.
Chu Qiguang's mind flashed through Qiao Zhi's past statement.
'The mystery contained in the method of initiation has gone beyond the limits of language, and it cannot be taught without a secret book in hand. β
At this moment, Qiao Zhi said: "25 The Fa-rectification itself already represents the power beyond the mundane, and every time you attain enlightenment, it is also accompanied by danger. Only when you are truly in the fifth realm can the efficiency of your enlightenment reach the highest. β
"And what...... I heard that some people were too fascinated when they comprehended the "Sutra of the King of Mount Meru", and finally spontaneously combusted and died, and they stared at the scriptures until they died. Qiao Zhi sighed: "Unknown things are always easy to go crazy and fascinated. β
"You have to be careful about this, the cultivation of entering the Tao is to constantly fight against the desires of the heart. β
Listening to Qiao Zhi's reminder, Chu Qiguang looked down at the man sitting cross-legged on the cover of the closed "Sutra of the King of Mount Meru", with his hands sealed, and his eyes closed, seemed to open his eyes and look at Chu Qiguang.
But when Chu Qiguang was shocked in his heart, and when he looked closely, he found that the man on the cover still had his eyes closed.
Chu Qiguang nodded and said, "This thing is indeed a bit evil, just looking at it can actually change the physique." β
If Chu Qiguang could barely understand the previous martial arts cultivation, then the "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" in front of him was too mysterious, completely beyond his understanding of martial arts.
He observed the condition of his body, and found that he was sweating profusely, as if he had been roasted by fire inside and out.
Qiao Zhi said on the side: "Although every cultivation is very risky, the effect is also very good. Consult this "Sumeru Mountain King Sutra" every day, your body's heat resistance will become stronger and stronger, and you will be able to withstand more and more hot qi and blood, and the upper limit of the power of bursting qi and blood will continue to increase, gradually surpassing the same level of martial arts, and your body will gradually become alienated until it is extraordinary. β
"Of course, if you want to enter the Tao...... You still need to reach the fifth realm before you can completely complete the alienation of the body in the Sumeru Mountain King Sutra. β
"Now you have comprehended the Sutra of the King of Mount Meru, which is one more means to improve your physique.
"Now the top priority is to need silver, and we need pills. Push me into the fourth realm first. Chu Qiguang sighed: "One Qi Pills cost eighty taels, and I may need dozens of pills to quickly step into the Fourth Realm." This is a few thousand taels of silver, and I will not get more than 10,000 taels this time.
The remaining thousands of taels of silver must be made of money, and they can't all be invested in martial arts. Otherwise, I will have to earn some hard-earned money such as raiding my house in the future, and I will have to be a part-time worker without a meal, which is too unstable. β
Chu Qiguang then stopped talking, but entered the fourth realm of cultivation, trying to suppress the curiosity and desire in his heart, and readjust his body and mind to the peak.
Qiao Zhi, who was watching this scene, secretly sighed in his heart: "Although cultivation does not improve combat effectiveness, the bonus of the fourth realm to cultivation is too great. It's not just that you don't have to sleep every day, it's the ability to regulate your body and mind...... It can make people in the best state of cultivation at all times. β
