Mu Qitian replied: "That's how I see this question. The five colors are blinding, the five tones are deafening, the five flavors are refreshing, the world is complicated, eating, drinking, and treating people and things are all unavoidable. Just like there are ways to dodge, dodge, unload, and retreat in kung fu, but blindly dodging will never become a master. The so-called Hongchen refining the mind, my point of view is when to do something, when you are busy, you are busy with your whole heart, and when you are practicing, you practice without distractions, of course, this is not easy to do, this is the process of cultivation. “

"Human nature is self-consistent and self-coordinated, and practicing is refining things and forgetting them. “

"When we peel the onion, layer by layer, until there is nothing left at the end, and being able to stay in that state of silence while practicing is what you want to achieve now. The premise of putting it down is to pick it up first, but in the end we have to put it down. “

"If you have to make a suggestion, I think that at this stage, whether you have a big ideal or a small goal, you must make one in your heart, if your heart has no place to live, wherever it is, it is wandering. ”

"If you have time to read the chapter of "Zhuangzi ▪ Dasheng", especially these few sentences: the workers rotate and cover the rules, pointing to and materializing without the heart, so its spiritual platform is not shackled. Forget the foot, the right to perform, forget the essentials, take the right to the right, forget the right and wrong, the heart is suitable, not to change internally, not to follow the outside, the right thing will be, the beginning of the right and not to taste the discomfort, forget the right fit. ”

"Our hearts are the people who drive, our nature is the people who ride the cars, and our bodies are the horses. Horses are the most pitiful, always being whipped and driven away, and finally unable to resist the whip of the driver and the desire of the rider. “

"Our body is a horse enslaved by our 'heart' and our 'spirit', and monasticism is to restrain the desires of the mind on the one hand, and to take care of our body on the other. Some people can draw a circle with their left and right hands at the same time, because they are completely relaxed, the fingers of the body and the mind become one, and they find a harmonious relationship between them, which is called 'selflessness'. Got it?"

"I don't understand. Yi Liunian replied honestly, and said: "But I saw a poem in the school palace: I want to change, I want to become a tree." When I'm happy, the flowers bloom, and when I'm unhappy, the leaves fall. ”

Mu Qiwan laughed: "That's right! There is progress in reading! Let's talk next time I'm happy or unhappy." Isn't Zhuge practicing Buddhism, and finally send you a few words of Zen words, and we encourage you together: Li wants to control the calculations. “

"Treating others as others is selflessness, treating others as counting is compassion, treating others as others is wisdom, and finally, treating others as counting others is selflessness. “

"After finishing work and eating first, I remember that I was asked to pick up customers after dinner. ”

After dinner, the four of them gathered in the main hall and accompanied Mu Qitian to drink and others.

"Brother Onion, a certain family is coming!" I heard that before anyone arrived, the sound arrived first, and a bearded man came in without wind at the door, and went straight in and sat in front of the bookcase.

Mu Qiwan smiled and said: "Come on, come on, let me introduce to you, this is the second master of the businessman, the rich man Xiao Xizi, my hair is small, don't look at his beard, look old, but there is a refreshing big number called Shang Chenxi, these four are the only four little King Kong in the sixty generations of the construction place." ”

Shang Chenxi scolded with a smile: "A green onion, you are calculating me again! I didn't know there were them today, and I didn't bring a greeting gift." ”

Mu Qitian replied: "That's not possible, who doesn't know that your merchant family has a big business, and plucking roots is enough for us to eat for a year, bring it to you." ”

Shang Chenxi didn't mind, after thinking about it, he stretched out his hand, took out four huge beads and said: "There's really nothing they can do, just make do with a flash thunder bead per person, but Lao Mu, you have to use the Mu family trick and add a trigger device before they can use it, as long as you smash it on the ground when you use it, you can disturb people's sight and use it for escape, but you don't have the strength to do it, so you have to bear a certain amount of shock power, don't use it until you have to." I said Lao Mu, you have been able to change things from me all these years, and it is not good to come and not be rude, just enter and not leave. ”

Mu Qitian accepted the beads, then took out an object from under the bookcase, it was a heart guard, and said: "Rich people are stingy, I can't take your things for nothing in front of juniors, this back to the shadow wall is for you, this is what I spent a lot of money to invite Yaoguang Peak and Dongming Peak masters to work together, you can block the full force of the Seven Star Realm masters, take it and play." ”

Shang Chenxi smiled and stretched out his hand to take it: "It's pretty much the same." I'm done, I'll go back tomorrow, and tonight we'll be drunk and homeless. ”

Mu Qitian said to the four of them: "I have a lifelong friendship with Lao Shang, and I am used to it. I think there were four of us back then, and there were also Mo Xiaoliang, nicknamed Little Devil, and Zhu Dachang, nicknamed Pig Intestine, they called me a green onion, his name was Xiao Xizi, and the four of us in the rivers and lakes were called the Gang of Four. Of the four, he is the richest, and he loves to squander money the most, am I right?"

"That is, our good brother, I have ten dollars, and I am willing to give you nine. Shang Chenxi replied with a smile.

Mu Qitian: "Look, how about it, you have righteousness, what if you have 100,000 yuan?"

Shang Chenxi: "Then you don't have to ask, I'll give you all ten yuan." ”

Mu Qitian: "I, you rich people don't take money for money." I haven't seen you in the past few years, so I'm still happy. ”

Shang Chenxi: "Do you think that if you have money, you will be happy? Wrong, no, let me officially tell you, in fact, being rich is simply fucking happy." ”

The four of them are the predecessors of Lin Yi's duo.

Mu Qiwan asked, "This trip has been very fruitful, right?" Shang Chenxi replied: "It's not bad, everyone is very satisfied, I won't say much about the specifics, in short, everyone is happy." Come, drink. ”

The two then talked about many other things. After talking for a while, Mu Qitian looked at the four of them and said:

"On the first day, I told you about the distribution of sects in the cultivation realm. Let you come today, in addition to getting to know the second master of Xiashang, I want you to know more about the situation and people in Xianzhou. The money in the secular world here is not important, the important thing is the cultivation resources, except for the precious resources, most of which are bartered, other resources are denominated in spirit stones, and the merchants are the largest business families in the continent, and they have the most merchant channels. “

"The current head of the business, Shang Yangzhi is the old man, and the second master is called Shang Si, and he is called the fourth master of Shang. The old man Shang has two sons, the eldest Shang Chenzhao, is the eldest brother of Xiao Xizi, and the fourth master Shang has an only son named Shang Chenyang. ”

Mu Qitian introduced the situation of the four major business families in Xianzhou.

It turns out that there is a saying in Xianzhou, called "Xianzhou Four People, Civil Engineering Industry and Commerce".

"Business" refers to merchants, although they are at the bottom, they are the most financially powerful, operating in all categories, and their business is spread across all continents.

"Work" refers to the Gongsun family, who started and excelled in the management of magic weapons and weapons. The head of the family, Gongsun Hanxiong, has no children under his knees, and has two daughters, the eldest daughter Gongsun Xinuo, and the second daughter Gongsun Xixi, who is the first choice in the eyes of the children of the family in the continent. ”

"Wood" is the Mu family, which made a fortune with construction projects and operating agency weapons. The helmsman, Mu Runshan, is Mu Yantian's father. There are many branches of the Mu family, and the descendants of the branches are thriving, and they mostly worship the major mountain gates to practice, but because of the large number of children, the infighting between them is more obvious, which makes Mu Qiwan have a headache.

"Tu" represents the Tu family, and the business field is similar to that of the Mu family, so the competition between the two is very fierce. Tu Lin, the contemporary ancestor of the Tu family, has two sons named Tu Xiang and Tu Yi, and also adopted a goddaughter named Tu Xijun.

After introducing a circle, Mu Qitian finally said: "The merchant has been friends with the Mu family for generations, and you can find Xiaoxizi if you have any needs in the future." The Tu family is domineering, especially with our Mu family, you know. The two daughters of the Gongsun family are very capable, long-sleeved and good at dancing, so don't offend easily. There are a lot of cultivation resources in this sect, but it is indispensable to deal with them when you go out for a walk in the future. ”

The four of them all nodded, knowing that Mr. Mu was giggling on the surface, and the mainland took great care of them, but they didn't have to pay lip service to thank them.

After drinking that night, the six dispersed.

The days of concentrating on cultivation passed quickly, and more than a month passed after Shang Chenxi left. During this time, the four young people of the construction department still studied architectural skills in the morning, practiced in the afternoon, and went to the school palace to study or attend lectures in the evening. The speed at which Hua Lan Ting absorbed the aura was still slower than that of others, and the color of the sky blue smoke jade was gradually deepening, but it had not been fed back to Hua Lan Ting's pure aura.

During this period, Song Feifei came to Lin Xian to surprise once, and chatted for a while, saying that the five main peaks urged the disciples to practice very strictly, and there were not many opportunities to come out during the day. The other is a new female disciple of Yuheng Peak, the woman the four of them saw in the Stacked Water Waterfall, named Zhang Hanyun.

The disciples were able to meet from time to time during the evening palace activities. Among them, Lin Xian was undoubtedly often involved in the lectures held by Yao Guangfeng on the number of formations and heavenly machine techniques, while Song Feifei was always by his side like a fart; Yi Liunian had been madly interested in the method of controlling beasts of Yin Yuan Peak since he saw the guide butterfly when he was introduced, and Zhuge Yun would listen to any of the peak's lectures; Hua Lanting had learned a period of medicine when he was treating the poison of the old man Dianlan, so he listened to the alchemy lectures of Kaiyang Peak the most, and sometimes he would also go to listen to the content of the other three peaks such as Xia Dongming.

Lin Xianjing has been instigating Yi Liunian to contact Wen Yin for more time, but Yi Liunian is always blushing and refusing to take the initiative, and every time he encounters it, he only dares to look at it from a distance. However, Hua Lanting and Feng Qingjun often met at the lectures of Kaiyang Peak, and gradually the two became familiar with each other.

More than two months passed like this, and in the blink of an eye, it was already January of the second year, and the Sky Blue Smoke Jade finally infused Hua Lanting with a pure aura, which made his cultivation progress improve a lot, although his improvement speed of Freedom Wuji Gong was still the slowest among the four, so he didn't lag too far behind.

Seeing that it will be half a year since the entry, the attention of the disciples of each peak is focused on the topic of who will first open up the second vein of Ren Du and officially enter the realm of one-yuan reformation. There has been a rumor in the door, and there will be a big competition between sixty generations of disciples after the Mid-Autumn Festival this year, so everyone is working hard in secret.
