In the stone carved temple by the river, Donghezi and his entourage enshrined pure water, water floating lotus and phoenix eye lotus, newly picked gourd leaves, and some gold and silver in front of the statue of the river water and trade snake god cast in gold and gems, and then discussed long-term cooperation with several rich snake merchants and two local wealthy families here to plant four kinds of plants.

These plants can extract antiseptic or wear-resistant ingredients, there are 2 kinds of medicine can also be used in medicine, and can also extract the fiber structure of unilateral water conduction, which can be used in blankets and quilts to make the inner moisture easy to guide to the outside, and the outer moisture is difficult to penetrate into the inner side, playing a role in drying and refreshing the body. It is better to use it to make military shoes and has a wider market.

In short, these things are more important for the production and promotion of composite wood. However, the negotiation process did not go smoothly, although the wealthy businessmen looked very active, but the local tyrants seemed to have the advantage of 'only one family', and insisted on raising the price very high. The emotional look seemed to be very emotionally hurt: "Your demands really hurt our hearts, how can you be so black-hearted! We have to reorganize the swamp, do you know how troublesome it is." It's a lot of money to raise a bunch of frogmen to grow them! Are you bullying us rednecks?" they even clutched their chests as if they were going to faint at any moment. The two sides were arguing, and they shook their hands excitedly, got up and slid out.

The snake people and rich merchants next to them hurriedly said, "Let's go and persuade them." But without their support, these plants would not have been able to be grown. They are here to stir up a gale with a flick of their tail. Then hurriedly chased after the 'heartbroken' snake people and tyrants outside.

But they don't even deceive Cindell with their little bit of business tricks: "What disgusting fellows! Their frogmen are slaves." If the merchants can't persuade them, we'll go elsewhere to find land. ”

Pointing to the backs of those snake people and wealthy businessmen, Donghezi smiled: "They are doing a show together." They do it, we watch. It's time to watch a play. Ponuuk next to him said coldly: "But they are rambling and a complete waste of time! What if they don't want to?" replied, "A little more than 1 percent is fine, but not more." If they don't want to, forget it, just talk about business. The two sides cannot be expected to negotiate in one go. Sometimes, wait a minute, the shape has changed, and you can talk about it again. ”

Xander's sense of ethics and personality model made her a little unacceptable: "It's too embarrassing to come to these cannibalistic slave owners with a shy face!" Donghezi laughed: "Anyway, they are shameless acting here." We don't have to be too embarrassed. Just get there. I've seen people talk about people, and I've seen people talk nonsense. When you meet a businessman who has a good relationship, everyone is hello and I am good; when you meet a shameless businessman like them, everyone will be shameless together. ”

Xander smiled helplessly: "You really pulled your face." But he saw that Tohezi replied slowly: "Why do you want to 'can't pull down your face'? Why do you want to follow that kind of 'can't pull down your face'?"

Xander said, "You're not afraid of being ridiculed behind your back?" But Dong Zygozi asked rhetorically: "Why are you 'afraid' of 'laughing behind your back'? Why do you want to be more 'afraid and unwilling'?"

Cindell said: "Being ridiculed a lot, it will ~~~ be isolated by everyone." Toheko asked, "Can the merchants isolate me?" Will you continue to do business with me?"

Xander thought about it. Do those businessmen laugh at it. It's really no big deal: "Really~~~ ignore their ridicule and gossip?" Higashiko replied: "Why do I 'must' toss myself with all kinds of 'feelings'? Can they really affect me? This is the difference between being a commoner and being a businessman." Two fields, two environments. Different ways of responding to emotions and different ethical systems are applicable. If you use it wrongly, you will be pheating yourself. To use the ethics and emotional reactions of civilians to handle business, politics, and military affairs is to deceive oneself. ”

Xander seemed to figure it out, but as soon as she raised her eyes and saw the snake people who were talking, she was immediately confused again: "If the talk collapses, do you really want to beg these disgusting guys in turn?"

Xander thought about it carefully and thought of it: afraid of being ridiculed, afraid of being isolated by the public, afraid of the public~~~~ and then interrupted by Donghezi's spiritual conversation: "You see, you have a 'unwilling' mind on the surface, but in fact, there are a huge 'background thoughts' hidden underneath. The question is, are these 'background minds' in line with the facts -- these businessmen are really isolating us? Are they not isolating us now? Are these businessmen the 'masses' in your heart?"

Xander was a little sober again: yes, that's not the case.

"When your eyes see some images and your ears hear some vibrations. These images and vibrations form the original thoughts in the 'stress zone', and they are shaped by complex reinforcements in the second 'flow zone', constituting the 'things' you understand and providing you with a 'mind pack'. When the package arrives at the third 'comprehensive concentration area', that is, the 'heart position', a small part of the mind in the package emerges and is deeply processed by the three major functions of the heart position: charging, knowing, and sampling. ”

"Originally, the ideal way was to be known by the 'knowing' first, and then the 'knowing' triggered the 'sampling' to sample, compare, analyze, and judge, and then determine that the whole package was usable, so that the 'charging' would penetrate the energy into the entire 'mind pack'. And so your feelings, behaviors, etc., are born. ”

"But now, as soon as the package reaches the 'heart position', you instinctively charge the whole package!!They already have a strong energy and are already running down!! So you know that you don't want to go back to them, but you don't know the content of the 'mind bag' hidden under this thought, such as fear of being ridiculed, fear of being isolated by the public, and fear of how the public will drop. I don't know if these things are applicable, for example, whether those 'people' are similar to 'merchants'. So instinctively follow these powerful complex thoughts. Run down. And throughout the process, your 'sampling' ability didn't work, only after my death, when I prompted you, and you thought about it carefully. ”

"This is the so-called 'stupidity' -- only knowing how to follow the mode of operation of the body and mind accumulated by instinct and experience, but not knowing whether these instincts and experiences correspond to the actual situation. That's why I said: Introspection, reflection is the beginning of practice. But ordinary introspection and reflection is to shape oneself against certain ethics or dogmas, and to trap oneself in dogmas. Reflection and reflection in practice is to observe the whole process of the operation of one's mind and the results of this process in harmony with the actual situation. For example, today run down according to your mind and match the actual situation. What are the consequences?"

Cindell squirmed: "I won't come to talk about it in the future." Buying plant-based ingredients can't be done. Toheko nodded, "That's messing things up." Introspection and reflection should review and examine the process of the operation of the mind and the process of the coordinated development of the mind and the facts, and explore more appropriate methods and results. For example, according to the way I just said and the way of 'no love', they don't have a face, and we don't have a face. I don't use any emotion to interfere with myself. Try to get things done. Or reduce the shortcomings. ”

"So. Reflection and reflection in practice is reflection and reflection with reference to practice. We adjust ourselves according to the results of practice, and we can also observe the mentality, personality, and way of doing things of others. and the corresponding practical results. Then adjust yourself. It's not that you want to die on some ethics or dogma and then imagine that you can go to heaven and make a fortune in the next life. It's about being 'lively', not outward-looking liveliness, but inner liveliness, the ability to properly combine all kinds of thoughts, use what you can use, and discard what you can't. ”

Xandro turned a little pale, but when the snake people turned around, she couldn't help but ask Tohezi: "What if one day, we are really isolated by the public, and everyone ignores us?"

Seeing that Cindell was thinking about the details, and looked like he was about to turn around, he said: "The Fahua of the Lost Ones turns around, and the Enlightened One turns the Fahua! Can you use your own 'subjective initiative' to reverse this process? You have this ability, and everyone has it, just to see if you seriously reflect on it in practice, seriously find out the details of the mental outline, and seriously try to reverse and adjust. As long as it is found in practice that there can be a better mindset and way to deal with it, then it is right. ”

Xander couldn't help but sneer: "Subjective initiative? I can't get such a philosophical crepe thing." But Higashiko was very serious: "What are you laughing at? I mean, seriously, you think that meditation is just to stay still? That is to use your own 'subjective initiative' to transform yourself, to eliminate your stubborn mental sorbets." This 'subjective initiative' is related to the 'god' of spirit. Don't laugh! I mean really!!"

Seeing that a few snake people outside had already come in, Donghezi explained: "Reflect, give full play to your subjective initiative, and practice." These are the three basic tools that must be possessed in spiritual practice. Find more opportunities to practice on your own. Then the boring negotiations continued.

In the end, after a day of negotiations, no agreement was reached, and after returning to the eight-legged 'Spider Cruiser' on the edge of the swamp in the evening, Toheko and his party packed their bags. Early the next morning, the cruiser's eight legs gathered away their long roots rooted in the ground, lifted their thick legs, and headed northwest against the fog and morning light. I really don't pay attention to the snake people anymore.

As a result, in the afternoon of the same day, two giant snakes slid in the swamp behind, and in the seats on their backs were yesterday's snake people and rich businessmen, and they hissed and shouted some enthusiastic and shameless words: "Why did you leave suddenly? We worked with those adults for most of the night last night, and we almost died of exhaustion!!"
