When this Zhaoyou Temple keeper took Zhou Zhengqing up the stairs and reached the sixth floor, the resentment hanging high above would be three words, as if it hit the hearts of the people.

More than a dozen red wooden bookshelves are placed on the ground, and compared to the previous floors, the collection here is obviously much rarer.

The monk flicked his robe, this is a delicate mansion, obviously from a famous family The owner of the mansion is about thirty years old, and is laughing with the beautiful maidservant, the maid is pregnant, he hopes this can be a son. His wife was bedridden and her days were numbered.

His daughter was boiling porridge for her mother, adding firewood and water, and the smoke was rising, and the porridge was cooked.

It's just that when this daughter, who just wants to make a bowl of porridge for her mother, takes out the porridge from the pot, the red slowly floods the whole bowl of white porridge.

"Smack"

The little girl of thirteen or fourteen years old was so frightened that she threw the bowl directly on the ground. She ran out of the house to find her father, but apparently she didn't find her. Panting, she couldn't imagine that her father would have the heart to fight with others before his wife died.

Summoning up the courage, the little girl went to cook porridge again, she didn't want her mother to die hungry. But every time the porridge is cooked, it will still turn red.

Over and over again, the little girl seemed to be more energetic than this unspeakable weirdness, but she was still powerless.

The little girl gave up cooking porridge completely and wanted to go back to take care of her mother, and the moment she returned to her mother's room, she found that her mother was silent. She cried desperately and regretted desperately.

After a long time, when it was already dark, her father and the maidservant entered the door and began to prepare for the funeral.

In the mourning hall, the dead woman slowly appeared. She just stared blankly, one was a grief-stricken daughter, one was an indifferent and heartless husband, and the other was a pregnant maid.

The funeral procession departed, the maidservant was left at home, and the woman who appeared in the mourning hall appeared.

When the servant girl was discovered, she invited Langzhong, but she had already miscarried.

After that, the ghost that the woman had turned into remained in the house, and after someone killed the chicken, he washed it by disembowelment, and the chicken jumped up and raised its head and crowed, and it was not long before all the people in the house, except for the little girl, died.

Zhou Zhengqing was puzzled, because he didn't see the monk here, if this was what the monk saw, then where was the monk?

The evil monk saw Zhou Zhengqing's doubts and pointed to the sky.

Looking up, just below the white clouds, there was a monk who closed his eyes cross-legged, meditating and chanting.

From time to time, a figure flew out of the monk's body, and swept into the distance at great speed. Gradually, the figures covered the sky, and the blue sky was no longer luster.

Zhou Zhengqing can only see one place, and the monk has seen countless times.

"What he saw was known to the people who had come before me in the temple. The one you see later became a monk at Zhaoyou Monastery and became a scripture keeper, and he is my master." The voice of the evil monk came, and the surrounding scene changed in the blink of an eye, and he returned to the Scripture Pavilion again.

The monk went straight up the stairs to the next floor without the slightest hesitation, because the monk wanted to know something.

The evil monk was unhurried and explained to Zhou Zhengqing: "This is not begging, it is extremely bitter. The deeper the obsession, the more you ask, the heavier the suffering, and this time, the monk is a little difficult."

Zhou Zhengqing and the evil monk hurriedly followed, but they didn't see anything after they went upstairs, they were a step late, because this time the monk had already passed the seventh floor where three big characters were hanging high, and directly entered the eighth floor.

At this moment, both of them were dumbfounded, the evil monk was still swearing about the difficulty of this level just now, and he was slapped in the face in a blink of an eye, Zhou Zhengqing also couldn't figure it out, but it didn't prevent him from being happy in his heart.

The crimson flames scorched the monk's body, and the monk staggered. There are no treasured classics on the eighth floor, some are just a sea of fire, and there is a futon in the center, and the monk goes straight to the futon. The flames scorched the monk's whole body, and the monk did not turn into charcoal, but the burning sensation of the flames filled his mind. The fire here burns the monk's obsession, and the deeper the obsession, the stronger the flame.

Zhou Zhengqing was left on the seventh floor, and the evil monk allowed him to check out all kinds of books here. This seventh layer contains those precious classics that make the Immortal Family Sect also want to get it.

He admits evil, and he will go to the eighth layer, where the five yin of the eight sufferings of Buddhism are blazing, and when he is in it, his obsession is burning, and the flames are burning, so he will discuss the Dharma with the little master and nephew here.

When he appeared on the eighth layer, the flames had already covered the sky, obscuring everything, and the young realm monk was sitting cross-legged on a futon at this time, silently reciting the Heart Sutra. Cheng Evil stretched out his hand to pinch the trick, and the three figures slowly fell, all wearing robes and sitting in the void. There are men and women, all of whom look like young people. Zhaoyou Temple scripture keeper, which one did not die in the prime of life?

The evil monk is the same, wearing a big red robe and sitting in the air.

I don't know who spoke first, and the voice was like a flood of bells, resounding in the sea of fire: "Buddhism says, there are leaks are suffering, and it is also said that the cause of emptiness is the source of the suffering of all beings, and those who miss the fate should how to cross it."

The monk closed his eyes: "Those who miss cross by themselves, and those who are destined to cross by others."

Another voice sounded: "Man and ox must die one, all beings are equal, who dies and who lives"?

The monk did not hesitate at all, nor did he use sophistry to give the answer so straightforwardly: "If the same kind is not saved, how can we cross ourselves, how can we cross others"?

The woman in the robe spoke, it was the master of the evil monk: "The Buddha crosses the destined people, how can he cross the sentient beings"?

The monk is still direct: "All sentient beings are suffering, my Buddha is compassionate, the enlightened one crosses by himself, and the bodhicitta crosses all sentient beings." ”

The first three generations of scripture keepers of the three Zhaoyou Temple nodded slowly, each satisfied, and the monk's answer was not exactly what they wanted to hear the most. But the monk's decisiveness is what they want to see the most.

Cheng Evil spoke: "Killing one person can save ten thousand, do you want to kill it"?

The monk still bluntly said "don't kill".

The illusory figures in the robes of the three Dao disappeared, and only then did they say to the monk: "Those who cross by themselves do not cross people, and those who cross people are difficult to cross by themselves."

The monk stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your teachings."

Looking at the monk in front of him, the current keeper of Zhaoyou Temple, he suddenly didn't want to let the monk leave, but he didn't ask, if the monk really agreed to stay, wouldn't this world be boring for many years?

Zhou Zhengqing turned his head to look at the monk who walked out of the Scripture Pavilion together: "What is the seventh layer"?

I don't want this handsome monk to grin, so that Zhou Zhengqing is a little ashamed of himself, this look, looks much more handsome than himself, if he is seen by the little girl who is just starting to love, I am afraid that the monk will break the vows.

The reason why the monk passed through the seventh layer quickly was because it was not the request of sentient beings, only the monk's own suffering. Is the monk's own suffering less?

It's just that for the monk, the pain of not being able to ask for it has never been nothing, he can ask for it or not, and he will be free for future generations.

The moon hangs high in the sky, surrounded by mountain peaks on all sides, but it really has the elegance of the bright moon shining through the gaps.

I went back to the temple room and fell asleep.

When the sun was up, the two had already embarked on the journey, and when they left, only the little novice came out to send each other off: "Little master, little donor, if you have any other instructions, the host will let us try to be satisfied." Zhou Zhengqing was worried about how to open his mouth, and when he saw Xiao Shami say this, then he didn't hide it, and bluntly said that he wanted to turn into a relationship, which made Xiao Shami stunned.

The four words of reluctance were hung on the face of the little novice, and Zhou Zhengqing, who had the silver in hand, couldn't hold back, gave a big chestnut, and then pulled the monk to run away.

As early as when he was in Taoyuan Village, Zhou Zhengqing had already 'borrowed' some immortal coins. The god Ge Dashan was also happy: "How can you make a penny difficult for a hero, there is no such reason in the world, just take it and spend it, these scattered silver taels are nothing." Zhou Zhengqing had to 'reluctantly' laugh, as for whether it was reluctant, only he knew it.

This 'scattered silver tael' Zhou Zhengqing borrowed it in an orderly manner, enough for the two of them to take a passenger ship of the immortal family, and then buy some practical immortal talismans, and there can be some surplus.

It's just that in this temple, Zhou Zhengqing wants real silver, and it costs money to get there!

The two people who had left the Zhaoyou Temple did not know that around the Zhaoyou Temple at this time, a huge turmoil was quietly set off that could attract the attention of the Buddhist Bodhisattvas and Arhats.

In the territory of the Ming Dynasty, there are actually a lot of immortal businesses, and material and manpower outside the imperial court are mobilized back and forth. Of course, most of them are the material resources and manpower of the immortal family. If you use this to mobilize ordinary things, without him, you will definitely lose everything.

Daming has official ships, which can be equipped with offensive talismans and formations, and the materials created are also different from ordinary ships, and there are also immortal masters of different realms. It is also a unified system, with small warships, large warships, and many ships for transporting materials and manpower.

It's just that they are all extremely precious, and it took countless time and money to build, and a certain number of ships can form a certain formation, which greatly enhances the deterrent power of the Ming Dynasty against the other three kingdoms.

Several other countries, in recent years, have also built a number of such ships. It's just that unlike the Ming Dynasty, there are not many countries building ships alone.

And it is paid by the immortal gate in various countries, and the fairy gate is built. It is not possible to be unified by the imperial court, unified system, uneven style, and the formation talisman can only be practiced with each other in the same sect.

For this reason, even the imperial courts of several countries paid a lot of price and handed over a batch of immortal seeds prepared to deal with the Ming Dynasty to various sects.

made several national sects make a lot of money, and they almost didn't say anything good about the Ming court. As for how much of the Ming Dynasty is behind the promotion, it is estimated that only Han Tuolu, the national teacher who is full of words in the court, knows.

What Zhou Zhengqing and the others were going to was the property of the Immortal Family Sect that was the first to return to the imperial court.

Cover the deer sect, business all over the inside and outside of the Ming Dynasty, pay attention to a harmonious and wealthy, in all countries have a lot of business experience. Even if several countries were eager to erase the Ming Dynasty from the territory of Xiazhou, they did not hinder the Hidden Deer Sect from doing business in their own territory.

First, the Concealed Deer Sect tightly tied the interests of some sects in various countries to its own home. The second is that once the Hidden Deer Sect is uprooted, it will be difficult for the spies planted by various countries in the Ming Dynasty to send back intelligence.

Due to the previous detour, the two of them rented a carriage directly along the official road in Yuexing Town, so that they had the remaining strength and went straight to a county town on the border of Xiangzhou, all the way to the southwest, about two days away, you can see a fairy market.

The coachman Xu who drove the car was very happy to take over this big deal, usually those individuals, hiring a carriage obviously did not go far, and they had to bargain. It's like these two customers, although they are not very stylishly dressed, but they are willing to spend money, and they don't bargain, they want to give as much as they want. One sentence is a poor family, and it is not easy to support a family, which makes this 30-year-old Xu Cheman also sigh with emotion.

Zhou Zhengqing doesn't spend his own money, of course, he doesn't have to save. A silver ingot of white flowers was piled up in the monk's bamboo box, and the bag was given to the monk to carry, and the bamboo box he Zhou Zhengqing did not leave for a moment, almost catching up with the love of the steel knife that also did not leave his body.

After walking on the official road for three days and two nights, Zhou Zhengqing and the coachman took turns to catch the car, passing through three towns and one county. If he wasn't in a hurry, Zhou Zhengqing wanted to spend some silver in these places and eat comfortably.

He gave the coachman two ingots of silver, twenty taels, and told the coachman to carefully tie them to the bottom of the cart. The wealth is not exposed, this is not a small amount, enough for the coachman's family to eat and wear for a few years.

After repairing in the town overnight, washing the clothes that had been worn for a long time, Zhou Zhengqing steamed them dry with spiritual power, bought some dry meat and dry food, and the two of them were farewell coachmen and embarked on the journey again.

hasn't gone far, this small mountain forest that hasn't grown many leaves yet, there are still people robbing the road, but it's not the two of them.

It's just that Zhou Zhengqing heard the movement and asked the monk to wait for him to investigate.

There was a pair of silver bracelets that had a hidden aura, and he was not afraid that anyone would be able to detect it.

The people on both sides have some cultivation, but they are not too high, most of them are the first loss path, and there are a few second realms.

On the side of the robbery, the leader should be the Three Realms Broken Realm. Unlike everyone else present, he was a real immortal monk, while the others were humane monks who were on the same path as Zhou Zhengqing.

Zhou Zhengqing is not interested in getting involved in this matter, this kind of battle and vendetta is dealt with by the gods here, not to mention, I don't know the depth of indiscriminate interference, it is just to add chaos.

As for whether the gods here are secretly watching, or if they have any plans to kill chickens and monkeys, it has nothing to do with him.

The monk did not have Zhou Zhengqing's ears and eyes, and did not perceive any movement, Zhou Zhengqing came back and told the monk clearly, and then the two made a detour.

It's not that the monk doesn't want to do anything, but in Daming, except for the weird realm of Taoyuan Village, in this kind of place that is not very far from the city, the battle of the immortal family is generally very measured, and if it hits the day of the god of travel, Daming's prison meal is still not very delicious.

There were no accidents along the way, and I arrived at the city used by the immortal family for trade as I wished, and there was a formation on the periphery, and mortals could not enter it at all if they were not led by someone.

In front of the city gate, the Ming armor soldiers lined up, holding long halberds and short knives, and wearing standard armor. Those who enter the city should check their identity and household registration, and then hand over a baht coin before they are allowed to enter the city. Each immortal city, according to its importance, has different cultivation for the immortal family, enjoying the status of several layers of the Ming court.

First, to prevent spies from various countries, and secondly, to earn a sum of immortal coins. In all countries, only the Ming Dynasty has this tiger might, and all countries respect the immortal family.

The world's immortal coins are based on the baht coin, and every thousand baht coins can be exchanged for a fine moon coin, and there are also heavy immortal coins and white spring coins on them. The Baiquan coin is the most expensive, and it is based on the system of 1,000 to 1.

Zhou Zhengqing showed the military degree, and the monk also showed his identity, and the two entered the city.

This immortal city is called Lang Xingyue Upper City, and there is a ferry port for the ships of the Deer Sect. It is said to be a ferry, but it is not on the water. The ship uses manpower to drive the formation, and what it earns is a transportation cost, and the ship also has everything, all kinds of food, books, and newspapers.

I have to say that businessmen are very thoughtful about people's hearts.

Zhou Zhengqing has never seen the immortal city, but the monk has been away with Zhao Jiu for a long time, and he can be regarded as having seen the world. Zhou Zhengqing was curious about everything, and as the two entered the city, they saw the scene in the city. There are shops, the façade is very large, the floors are towering, all kinds of blades are bought and sold, the plaque is not small, and the three words of Chuiyang Building are also very eye-catching.

Next to it is also a towering high-rise building, named Qiongtai Courtyard, and the main collection and sale of talismans. There are also all kinds of pavilions on the left and right, elegant and simple, majestic, delicate and small, buying and selling exotic flowers and plants, buying and selling flowers, birds, fish and insects, buying and selling exquisite snacks, buying and selling wine and eating. There are everything from all walks of life, and there are even those who forge or repair immortal blades, sell male and female magic weapon dresses, and all kinds of alchemy refining materials, as long as there is something you want to buy, there is nothing you can't buy.

There are also a few private places that are hidden by the formation and do not know how to buy and sell.

A big-bellied boy who seemed to be the same age as Zhou Zhengqing walked towards the two of them, with a lot of sincerity in his eyes: "Two newcomers! I'm a second fat boy, if I want to buy something, or want to do something, I need to come up with an idea, it's not expensive, two baht coins."

Zhou Zhengqing was a little hesitant, generally like this situation, if he refused, he might be stumbled, and if he agreed, he might also be slaughtered. Money is not easy to make, but it is easy to spend. This kind of thing of buying a lesson, if it were Zhou Zhengqing himself, he would definitely be able to save it.

Zhou Zhengqing smiled: "Brother, this price is a little expensive, but I won't bargain, you can save me more money for my brother, find a sincere shop, and count my money in vain." But brother, I have to be clear, if you put me together in the past few years, brother, I won't give money."

The young man didn't expect that this was still a smart master. Generally like this kind of half-grown child who has just learned the magic of immortals and Taoism, and is a fledgling, it is the easiest to deceive, although there is generally not a lot of money in his pocket, so he can take his time.

Generally speaking, if you can't be confused, you can try it out in three or two sentences, as for how to move the money in other people's pockets into your own pocket, it only depends on the size of your ability.

Zhou Zhengqing wants to spend some money here, at least buy some means to save his life, he can't chase people with a knife every time, it's not very elegant, isn't it?
