Chapter 35: The Gate of the Apocalypse
The day of the big calculation is approaching, and the atmosphere up and down Bufeng Qian Zhuang is extremely tense. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info The stewards are busy settling their own accounts, and the big and small accounts of the past three years have to be checked one by one on the day of the big calculation.
The trial calculation can only be used as an exercise, because on the day of the big calculation, each steward does not necessarily calculate his own accounts, but draws lots for the accounts of the 12 districts of Sendai Castle and randomly counts the accounts.
In addition to the overall calculation, there is also a practical inventory. No matter how clear the accounts are, if there is a deficiency or redundancy in practice, and it does not match the record in the accounts, it will be a bigger problem. After the accounts are settled, a special inspector will inspect the practices of the stewards and the treasury bank.
Therefore, everyone is preparing for the big calculation, wanting to shine in front of the owner, making a big performance, and wanting to get the rich reward of the first place in the big calculation.
The shopkeeper rarely showed up in the past few days, hiding in the account room alone, desperately studying and familiarizing himself with the current accounts of the bank.
As the shopkeeper of the bank, he didn't have to go down to participate in the big calculation in person, but in order to please the owner, the shopkeeper of the previous big bank will also make a final calculation of the accounts of the entire bank, one is to highlight the status of the twelve stewards of the general bank, and the other means that in order to show his ability as the shopkeeper among the public stewards and disciples, so that the people under him dare not act rashly. Qian Zhuang is a place that attaches great importance to strength, and no two brushes can not sit in the position of the shopkeeper.
The Wang family has only one money bank business, and he can be the treasurer of the money bank, and his abilities in all aspects are very outstanding. The most powerful kung fu of the shopkeeper is to calculate, one hand abacus is invincible all over the Bufeng, known as the "God Operator", no matter how many accounts, no matter how long the time, it is not a bad point.
The shopkeeper personally settled the accounts and was the symbolic icing on the cake. This time, the shopkeeper still has a layer of mind, that is, the arrogance of killing Xu Feng, only when he ends up in person, can he judge the merits of the stewards, and when the time comes, no matter how Xu Feng performs, it will be difficult to escape the harsh judgment of the shopkeeper.
Three days before the big calculation, Bufeng has stopped business operations, and after the managers took stock of the silver taels and all kinds of materials mortgaged in the warehouse, the exhibition cabinet ordered the warehouse to be closed.
The key to the treasury is handed over to the treasurer for safekeeping, and a special apprentice is sent to guard the warehouse door to prevent the stewards with ulterior motives from moving the hands and feet of the treasury, causing shortages or surpluses, and bringing problems to other stewards who participate in the big calculation.
Silver doesn't have long legs, so don't worry, just count the dead number and put it there. The discounted items were also counted one by one, so the shopkeeper sealed the warehouse early, focused on the accounts, and sat in the piles of accounts all day long to read the accounts, hoping to finish the accounts in less time on the day of the big calculation, so that the stewards could see the majesty of their gods.
Others are busy, and Xu Feng is also busy these days.
As the time of meditation and enlightenment became longer and longer, Xu Feng faintly felt that he had seen that threshold again.
It's like a chick about to hatch perceives the light of the outside world through its eggshell.
Whenever Xu Feng closed his eyes, collected his mind, tried his best to shrink his thoughts according to the method taught by Taiyi Daoren, and then in an unconscious state, he let himself merge with heaven and earth, and he vaguely entered a hazy state, as if he felt the sunlight on the surface of the water at a very deep underwater, vague and hazy, like a dream.
Being able to reach such a situation made Xu Feng very excited, and the busyness of the people around him made him turn a blind eye, and temporarily threw the money bank's fortune out of the clouds. Nothing is as important as practice.
This is true for an ordinary cultivator who wants to be a master, and even more so for Xu Feng, who is crazy about cultivation.
On the way from Hengshui Town to Sendai, Xu Feng felt all the way, meditated all the way, accumulated a lot of experience about cultivation, and wrote a lot of notes. There has also been great progress in understanding the world and the earth.
Enlightenment is like Zen meditation, the first step is to collect the mind, the mind has no external objects, to achieve the state of the body and mind ethereal, the second step is to let the divine thoughts flow freely along the limbs and hundreds of bones in the ethereal, and naturally communicate with the heavens and the earth, and communicate with all things, this is enlightenment.
When one's own thoughts and thoughts are closely connected with all things and begin to work, the body will completely open a door to communicate with heaven and earth, which is called the apocalypse.
Easier said than done. At the beginning, Xu Feng couldn't even reach the ethereal state of body and mind, let alone release his thoughts and thoughts naturally.
It's like meditating, the first step is not even to collect the mind, there is always something to think about in the heart, and it will never reach the ethereal.
Enlightenment is not about thinking about nothing, but naturally thinking about nothing, and that's a difficult point. The human brain always wants to think about something, and if it is forced to think of nothing, then the brain immediately thinks about the command itself, so it comes naturally.
Naturally, it is not relaxed, if you really want to relax, it is easy to fall asleep! Xu Feng has fallen asleep several times during enlightenment, and although he wakes up with a clear mind, he has not actually made any progress.
After repeated training, Xu Feng was finally able to put himself into an ethereal state within an hour, and it was another difficulty to release his divine thoughts naturally in the ethereal state.
Fortunately, Xu Feng has the spirit of scientific research and drilling that will not stop until the goal is achieved, and there is more time, and now Xu Feng has been able to let himself enter an ethereal state in a quarter of an hour, and then let his divine thoughts naturally overflow from his body within an hour.
Like a bear that has found honey, Xu Feng is addicted to enlightenment and never wants to leave. Once you enter the warm realm of peeking into the sunlight inside the egg, it is the most beautiful enjoyment in the world for Xu Feng.
Every time he woke up from enlightenment, Xu Feng felt more energetic, his mind clearer, and sometimes he was even able to recall many things that he had never remembered before, as if he had a deeper understanding of himself.
For example, I can remember the events of my previous life when I was seven years old, and I can clearly remember every word of my doctor's defense essay.
Not only the mind, but also the senses are more sensitive, and when he enters an enlightened state at night, Xu Feng can even faintly hear the crackling sound of the shopkeeper of hundreds of zhang yuanwen dialing the plate, which is absolutely impossible in ordinary times.
Is this the world of practitioners? It's an extraordinary feeling! It's like a god.
Xu Feng, who has experienced various advanced civilizations in his previous life, although he is extremely familiar with remote sensing, telephone, artificial intelligence and other technologies, but it is all with the help of foreign objects, the human body directly feels the distant world, which is definitely a speechless feeling, in the depths of his divine thoughts, he feels that he is so powerful and real, and can clearly control the world around him.
If he faced Shen Yilang again at this time, Xu Feng believed that his quick and accurate judgment, coupled with his more acute perception at this time, would be much easier to deal with, and he would not be as difficult as he was at that time.
On a whim, Xu Feng even tried to listen to Li Wenxing's movement next door in enlightenment, but heard the shaking sound of the passionate teenager in the futon on Chinese New Year's Eve, the clear friction sound, the rapid gasping sound, accompanied by the real shaking frequency, made Xu Feng's brain numb for a while, and hurriedly woke up from enlightenment. I don't dare to let out my thoughts indiscriminately anymore.
However, many days of trying can only achieve one step, and sometimes it may not even be achieved smoothly. Xu Feng sighed in his heart, knowing that he could only go so far at present.
Xu Feng was not satisfied with the speed of his cultivation, he was always spinning outside the door of the Apocalypse, and he couldn't break through. It's just that he doesn't know that with his cultivation speed, he can already be called against the sky!
A cultivator, from meditation to enlightenment to seeing the glimmer of light of the apocalypse, some people have taken a full life, some people have taken thirty years, even genius teenagers like Sizhou Longfeng have taken about a year to really embark on the road of the apocalypse.
If you start counting from the Netherworld Island's contact with divine thoughts, it will only be less than three months, and Xu Feng is already about to knock on the door of the apocalypse!
Everyone in Bufeng Qianzhuang was busy, including Xu Feng, except for one person, who was Li Wenxing.
He is not in charge, so he doesn't have to participate in the big calculation. The other apprentices all helped carry and count the accounts, but his steward just locked himself in the house as a whole, Li Wenxing even suspected that Xu Feng had already discussed with Miss Wang and would not participate in the big calculation directly. Anyway, I am also happy to be idle, after Gao Tianyi left, I slept and ate in the house alone, ate and slept, and seemed to have gained weight in half a month.
The real arithmetic competition and physical inspection are generally carried out in the evening, and the preparation begins in the afternoon, and the whole process lasts until the dawn of the next day, and the atmosphere is solemn and enthusiastic.
The host will prepare the banquet in advance, everyone stays up all night, the competition is over, and everyone starts to rest after eating the celebration banquet together.
The largest restaurant under the name of Wang Bancheng, and also the largest restaurant in the entire Sendai City, Juxian Building, is brightly lit in the bright hall.
The design of this hall is very unique, not only with an ornate dome, but also surrounded by hanging windows that lead directly to the outside, the dome is very high, even under the light of ten thousand candles, people stand below and see that the dome is still dark, giving people the feeling of being high and vast, as if it is not in the hall, but in the wilderness.
Because the dome has hanging windows, it is not afraid of smoke gathering, so not only countless candles are lit in the hall, but also countless huge torches are inserted on the high walls, giving the atmosphere solemn and mysterious.
The design of this style is not suitable for the banquet of the wealthy merchants, and even the atmosphere is a little depressing, this design style is the typical style of the Sanqing Daomen, and it also shows the source of Wang Sihai's power from the side.
Wang Sihai sat in the middle, and next to him stood the old man with white hair, the stewards were arranged on both sides, and in front of the steward was a high abacus table, which was specially used to place account books and calculation tools.
On the seats around are large display cabinets of all kinds of business under Wang Sihai, and there are more than 100 people sitting in the black press, both as spectators and judges. More than 1,000 people gathered on the periphery, mostly apprentices, street runners and others.
Wang Mingming came in full costume, wearing a gorgeous embroidered jacket, the edge of the jacket made of precious white fox fur, in the long red light, set off a more bright face, and the noble momentum was aggressive.
The young stewards and apprentices, who were busy preparing, always glanced twice in the direction where she was sitting.
The hall was about to start, but the presiding officer who had all the hair was white found that there was one less person in the twelve stewards of Bufeng, and it was Xu Feng.
