Chapter 54 Money is a Thing Outside the Body
Hongchen experience, there are too many temptations to face, for Xu Zhengdao, who is still young at the moment, moving from the mountains to live in the city is also an experience for his state of mind. If you want to continue to improve, this kind of experience is essential.
With the help of the sign-in system, his cultivation was indeed easier than other Xuan cultivators. But there is such a thing as mood experience, and the sign-in system can't help him improve. Only by experiencing the red dust, experiencing the baptism of the red dust, and gaining and understanding.
During the time he moved to the city, he also experienced a lot of people and things. Among them, the biggest fluctuation in his mood was undoubtedly the meeting with his family relatives. Fortunately, this crisis was successfully resolved, which made his mood even better.
The state of mind is also regarded as the most dangerous hurdle in the path of metaphysical cultivation, and if it cannot be broken through, it may eventually sink. Even though Xu Zhengdao stuck to his heart, he still felt that Hongchen's experience made his heart a little tired.
In his own words, perhaps as the Buddhists say, the heart of red dust is stained with dust. If you want to sweep away the dust, you have to let the mind really calm down. In order to do this, he chose to go back to the mountains and live the most familiar and pure seclusion for a few days.
Riding a bicycle and carrying a lot of medicinal herbs as props, Xu Zhengdao returned to Kangmin Village after a ten-day absence. Many villagers greeted him warmly and asked him if he was in danger in the mountains.
Facing the concern of the villagers, Xu Zhengdao also smiled and said: "There is nothing dangerous, I often go to the mountains, and I have long been used to it." There should be nothing going on in the village these days, right? ”
"Nothing! What can be new in our poor place? ”
After chatting with the villagers chatting a few words, Xu Zhengdao also returned to his yard smoothly. Looking at the yard that he hadn't stayed in for ten days, there was no change, and he also knew that no one should have entered his yard in the past ten days.
After putting away the car and the medicinal materials he brought back, Xu Zhengdao watered the flowers and plants in the flower garden as soon as possible. One of the things that cared him the most was undoubtedly the vine planted in the corner of the yard. After this period of careful care, the vines also began to grow rapidly.
The newly grown branches also climbed smoothly to the shelves that had been erected in advance. But Xu Zhengdao knew in his heart that compared with other flowers and plants, the vine in front of him needed to increase the nutrients somewhat unusually.
"Jade powder? It seems that there is a chance, and I have to find a way to buy some jade back. That is, jade charms can be made, and the remaining scraps can be ground into powder, or they can be used as fertilizer for grapevines. I only hope that when it is completely mature, it can really have a gathering effect. ”
As the master of the original owner said, this is the era of the end of the law, and the aura of heaven and earth has dried up. In order to improve their cultivation or ensure that their cultivation does not regress, they can only choose to concentrate on practicing in the deep mountains and old forests where people are rare.
Most of the Xuan cultivators who really dare to live in seclusion in the city are the kind of people who know that they can't make an inch of cultivation and begin to plan to enjoy the rest of their lives. Even if there is a chance to become a vegetable island for Xuan Xiu, he will choose to stay away from the city and stay in the deep mountains and old forests to practice.
If this hundred-year-old vine really has the effect of gathering the aura of heaven and earth, then for Xu Zhengdao, it is undoubtedly a rare spiritual plant to assist in cultivation. In the future, if he meditates and cultivates, he can stay under the vines and save a little bit of the aura of signing in.
When the realm breaks through in the future, the accumulated aura may be able to become a key help for the breakthrough. All in all, compared to the flowers and plants transplanted to the flower garden, the hundred-year-old grapevine in front of him is his real heart!
Thinking of the way of the formation that he had been studying recently, Xu Zhengdao was also looking forward to it: "If the grapevines cooperate with the Spirit Gathering Array, then the heaven and earth spiritual energy that can be gathered in my small courtyard will presumably be more than that of Cloud Mountain."
In this way, as long as I bring a good array in the future, no matter where I move to live, I can gather the spiritual energy of heaven and earth by setting up a spirit gathering array, which will indeed be more convenient for me to experience seclusion in the world. At this time, jade shouldn't be too expensive, right? ”
Jade is a thing that has been loved by Chinese people since ancient times. But the real peerless jade, it is undoubtedly very difficult to find it now. But Xu Zhengdao felt that if he bought jade at this time, it should be more cost-effective than buying it in the future.
Anyway, he has storage space, and no matter how much jade he collects, he is not afraid to smash it in his hands. Even if you can't use it up, after ten or twenty years, the price of these jade stones collected in advance will soar in the future. So no matter how you calculate it, you won't suffer too much.
"It seems that it is necessary to find a time to take out those treasures from the courtyard. Otherwise, if I want to buy a large amount of jade with the remaining cash on me, there will still be some problems with the funds! ”
Don't look at the previous time he dug out the Buddha's den of thieves and got tens of thousands of ill-gotten gains. But after buying the Four Lives Courtyard, he asked Qian Chuanlin to help him buy antique furniture, and the money was basically spent. If you want to buy jade in large quantities, you can't do it if you don't have money.
Relying solely on hunting to earn income, in Xu Zhengdao's opinion, the speed of making money is a little slower. If he were an ordinary person, with his hunting ability, he would have made a fortune a long time ago. The problem is that while he makes a lot of money, he also spends money even more!
In addition, some time ago, Xu Zhengdao bought a large number of pure wild ginseng from many time-honored pharmacies in Kyoto, mostly decades old. This expense has almost taken the money earned from selling wild boars into it.
Thinking of this, Xu Zhengdao couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Even if you become a Xuan Xiu, you still inevitably need wealth as a backing." I don't have any money, and I want to become a high-level metaphysical cultivator by relying on penance alone, which is indeed a bit wishful thinking! ”
In Xu Zhengdao's opinion, he has a sign-in system, and he has now obtained the primary formation inheritance. In the future, when his cultivation is improved again, he will inevitably sign in the inheritance of alchemy. At that time, the cost will be even greater than it is now.
It is said that 'a rich man, it is difficult for a man without money', for him, a meta cultivator, if he wants to continue to improve his cultivation, he must also find a way to make money. In ancient times, Xuan Xiu knew that the 'Dharma and Wealth Land' were indispensable, not to mention him, a modern Xuan Xiu?
In fact, with his current strength, if he wanted to obtain the wealth needed for cultivation through unconventional means, there would definitely be no problem. But in this way, his cultivation will fall behind, and it will be easy for him to fall into the evil path.
Because of this, he will stick to his heart and earn wealth through some formal channels. When he really waits for that day, when he no longer needs Hongchen's experience, he will also give away or give away the wealth he has accumulated in the city without hesitation.
But at the moment, he can't reach the realm of 'money is something outside the body', so naturally he needs to find a way to make money!
After cleaning the yard, the medicinal herbs harvested from the mountains are sorted into medicine cabinets. Looking at the medicine cabinet that was full again, he also felt very relieved. With this batch of medicinal materials, the villagers can also save a lot of trouble when they come to him for medical treatment in the future.
In the evening, Xu Zhengdao rode out again, and came to Liu Daneng's house for dinner with the medicinal materials prepared in advance. For his arrival, Liu Daneng, who had already finished the wedding wine, also seemed very happy.
Seeing that Xu Zhengdao had just come back from the mountains, he wanted to send medicine to his wife and daughter-in-law, and Liu Daneng was naturally very moved. Even Liu Daneng's wife, who has not yet shown her pregnancy, also thinks that the friend her husband has made is a hundred times stronger than other friends.
After dinner at Liu's house, Xu Zhengdao rode his bicycle again to the courtyard he bought. After a period of repair, the courtyard now looks no longer in tatters when it was first bought.
Because of the old wood specially bought, the bricks and tiles are also specially selected old materials. Therefore, the rebuilt courtyard house was completely demolished, and it looked no different from other old-fashioned courtyard houses. Standing outside the courtyard and looking, Xu Zhengdao didn't go in.
The reason why you can't enter the door is more because the courtyard has not been completely repaired, and there are still several apprentices of Qian Chuanlin living in it. As for the two dismantled golden silk nanmus, they were lying quietly in his storage space at the moment.
As for what to do with these two golden silk nanmu, he felt that it was not too late to wait. At this stage, it is far from the point of selling this rare timber for money. Stay for a few more years, I believe that the value of the two golden silk nanmu will only get higher and higher in the future!
