Chapter 390: Planetarium
"Seeing the 'sex' of the clear mind" is nothing more than the depth of meditation, and it is said in the "Lotus 'Flower' and 'Hole' Immortal Records" that "so that the distracting thoughts are swept away and converted to one thought, the Lord is still standing at the extreme, and the void is also fixed, sweeping away the three hearts, and destroying the four phases ......."
The Holy Child continued, "After returning to the Pure Yang Palace, it seems more difficult for you to 'sweep away the three hearts and destroy the four phases', but it is also an opportunity to hone yourself, and I will set up a bureau to test you." β
Xu Dong said, "Set up a bureau to test me, Master, what game are you going to set up to test me." β
The Holy Infant shook his head, "Since it is a game, I will naturally not give you the 'dew' now, if you can withstand the test, it will prove that you have reached the depth of meditation, and then I will tell you about the 'Warm Cultivation Dao Fetus'." β
"Master, how to warm the Dao womb. β
The Holy Infant said, "Didn't you just talk about entering the meditation and returning to the void, after entering the meditation and returning the void, 'stacking the lotus platform, raising the life of the fetus, and turning the fetus into the Yuan Shen, until the Yuan Infant is raised and sound', in addition to practicing Jinggong, it is also necessary to warm up with the power of 'medicine'. β
"The 'medicine' is warm, you mean to take the 'medicine' of the tonic spirit. β
The Holy Infant nodded, "Don't move, I'll first input a 'medicine' prescription into your mind, and you can use the spiritual 'medicine' listed in this 'medicine' prescription to refine the 'Nourishing Soul and Tranquility Pill'." β
As he spoke, the little golden man knotted the Dharma seal in his hand, and there were words in his mouth, and ten strands of spiritual light flowed out from the tips of the little golden man's fingers, and these ten strands of spiritual light merged into a beam in the air and flowed towards Xu Dong.
Xu Dong's Heavenly Spirit Gai absorbed all the spiritual light, and the names of various spiritual 'medicines' immediately flashed on the screen of his brain, and he counted them slightly, and there were no less than three hundred spiritual 'medicines' listed on the Holy Child's 'medicine' prescription.
"Master, does this 'Nourishing Soul and Fetal Pill' need to be refined with so many kinds of spiritual 'medicines'? β
The Holy Infant said, "The 'Nourishing Soul and Fetal Pill' is different from the ordinary pills, the ingredients it requires are extremely complex, to say that these more than three hundred kinds are still few, and the pills that are refined can only be effective for monks with good spiritual roots. β
"The number of ordinary spiritual roots for monks has to be doubled at least, and as for the monks with miscellaneous spiritual roots or those who do not have spiritual roots, refining the 'Spiritual Cultivation and Fetal Pill' requires thousands of spiritual 'medicines', and many monks have stopped because they can't find these spiritual 'medicines'. β
Xu Dong was so shocked when he heard the Holy Infant say this, "Uh, Master, it's not easy to find all these more than 300 kinds of spiritual 'medicines'." β
The Holy Child said, "Well, I estimate that I can find some in the treasury of the country of Ratuo, but I don't have much hope, I will be surprised to find more than two hundred kinds of elixirs, and the other elixirs will have to be found elsewhere." β
Xu Dong couldn't help grinning his lips, he remembered that the last time he met with the former emperor Zhao Lun in Taihouguan, Zhao Lun gave him a golden key to open the underground treasure house, and he would go to the underground treasure house to find out if there were any of these elixirs.
The Holy Child said, "Forget it, it's time now, and your civil and military ministers are almost here, so go out and meet them first." β
As soon as he finished speaking, the golden mangs wrapped around the Holy Child gradually shrank, and the shape of the Holy Child became smaller little by little, and finally turned into a golden light that drilled into Xu Dong's heart, and then returned to the ambergris stone.
The dark room returned to darkness, Xu Dong closed his eyes and thought for a while before getting up, he punched a force towards the wall where the button was hidden, a "squeak" sound sounded, and the thick stone 'door' of the dark room slowly opened.
Those ministers were standing casually, but when they saw the emperor coming out of the dark room, more than a hundred pairs of eyes looked at him in panic, and they were only stunned for a moment, and everyone knelt on the ground to salute the king.
"Long live the emperor, long live, long live. β
Xu Dong raised his hand, "Zhong Aiqing is flat." β
After Gonggong Guo was taken away by the former emperor, the last time Xuan Lei, a supervisor in the palace, played a fold, and asked the pot and shovel to rotate as the father-in-law of the Linchao Dynasty, Xu Dong gave royal approval on the spot, and let the pot and shovel arrive immediately.
Today, after all the ministers were separated on both sides according to the left side and the right side, the pot and pot preached in his eunuch voice, "The civil and military officials have something to do and play early, and they have nothing to do to retreat." β
On the left, a middle-aged man took the fold and presented it, "The minister Xu Li has something to ask the emperor, which is a list of new officials to be drafted to supplement the ministries and provinces, and the emperor is invited to write the imperial point after seeing it." β
Xu Dong saw that this person was Xu Li, the official secretary who had not been in office for a long time, and this person was personally promoted by Xu Dong to take over Dai Ding's position after replacing Dai Ding, an old minister of the previous dynasty, so he was very loyal to Xu Dong.
He picked up the recital and read it again, and most of the officials who were proposed to take up the new posts were in the prime of life, even if there were a few older ones, they were all very learned and courageous, and they had made achievements in the past.
Xu Dong picked up the red pen and circled it on the spot, and circled a few of the officials reported on the fold, and the few people who were vetoed by him were not disciplined enough to be reported by others.
He handed over the approved recitals, "Xu Aiqing, the recitals you submitted have been circled by me, and if there is any inappropriateness, you can handle it at your own discretion, and appropriately increase or decrease the number of officials according to the actual needs of each ministry and province." β
Xu Li took the excerpt and retreated, "Okay, the emperor, the humble position must be handled carefully, and the matter will be done so that the emperor can rest assured." β
Among the military attachΓ©s on the left, there was one person in front of him, this person was Li Jin, the secretary of the military department, and he presented a letter of recital, "Your Majesty, this is an excerpt from Chen Kun of the hussar battalion, and he plans to expand the barracks by fifteen within the year, with 20,000 new recruits." β
Xu Dong didn't look at the fold, and immediately picked up the red pen and wrote a line on the top of the fold, "Allow the expansion of the camp by 35, recruit 50,000 soldiers, and increase the training of soldiers." β
The reason why he criticized this was because he had a sense of crisis in his heart, and the danger that the country of Ratuo would face in five years was like a huge 'shadow' occupying his heart, making him feel faintly uneasy.
"Li Jin, how many tens of thousands of soldiers are there in the country of Luotuo. β
Li Jin hurriedly replied, "Echoing the emperor, there are 38 battalions of troops on the border, with a total of 830,000 soldiers, plus 70,000 troops from the Yulin Hussar Battalion, a total of 900,000 soldiers. β
Xu Dong pondered for a while, "I 'handed' you a task, you immediately recruit a 100,000 royal guard for me, I want you to train it into a strong and invincible army, can you do it?" β
Li Jin's eyes lit up, but he hesitated, "Your Majesty, Li Jin has already had such a plan, but because the military budget has not been sufficient for a long time, he has not dared to invite the emperor." β
Xu Dongdao, "This problem is easy to solve, since it is to recruit the royal guards, it should be withdrawn from the royal treasury, I will ask the general affairs office of the palace to allocate three million spars to you, this is about the same." β
Li Jin hurriedly said, "Enough is enough, and there is not so much more, it is okay to reduce the amount of 800,000 on the basis of 3 million, and take this fund to ensure that this 'elite' elite army will be formed within the year." β
Xu Dong immediately wrote an approval document to Li Jin, "Okay, that's it, you take the approval document to the treasury to extract the spars." Then he waved his hand downward, "The hour is not early, please please retreat from the court, I still have a lot of important things to do." β
Among the civil officials, an old man came out in a panic, "Playing ...... Report...... Invite the Emperor ......"
Xu Dong recognized it as Guo Yan, the manager of the general affairs office in the palace, and he played, "Your Majesty, the general affairs office counted the inventory of the treasury the day before yesterday, and the total inventory of spars was less than three million, how could there be so many allocated to Li Jin." β
"There are still tens of thousands of spirit stones. Xu Dong couldn't help frowning.
Guo Yan replied almost without hesitation, "There are still more than 80,000 spirit stones, but they can't be moved there." β
Xu Dong said, "You allocate 80,000 spirit stones to Li Jin for military expenses, and I will give you 500,000 spirit stones in batches to replenish the treasury within three months, so ...... I guess it's okay. β
Guo Yan almost shouted, "Uh, Your Majesty, 500,000 spirit stones, tsk, that's not a small amount, it can be worth 10 million crystals at the current price, where do you 'get' it, Your Majesty, you have a spirit stone mine." β
Xu Dong said, "You don't care if I open the mine or not, I just have 500,000 spirit stones for you." β
He thought of something again, "By the way, Guo Yan, you can take me to the treasury now, and I have the golden key to the underground treasure house in my hand, so I will open the treasure house by the way." β
Xu Dong followed Guo Tong to the royal treasury, which was a warehouse made of pure 'flower' granite, located in the most central area of the Chunyang Palace, and was guarded day and night by hundreds of strong guards with martial arts all year round.
When those guards saw that Guo Tong and Xu Dong were about to enter the treasury, they immediately consciously strengthened their vigilance at the 'door' of the treasury, although this royal treasury had never had an accident, but they had already formed a habit of high vigilance.
Xu Dong had also come here to receive materials, but he had never been to the treasury, and now it was the first time he saw its complex structure, and he couldn't help but feel a little 'dazzled' and 'confused'.
There are countless warehouses in the warehouse, and each warehouse has a number and the name of the item written on it, for example, there is a warehouse with "No. 39, rune paper" written on the 'door', and a warehouse next to it is written "No. 40, spiritual 'medicine'".
Xu Dong asked Guo Tong to open the No. 40 warehouse, the reason why he came to inspect the treasury today was mainly to check what spiritual 'medicines' were stored in it, and how many kinds of more than 300 spiritual 'medicines' that could be found in the treasury for refining the "Nourishing Soul and Stabilizing Fetal Pill".
The emperor wanted to 'draw' to inspect a certain warehouse, and Guo Yan, who was the manager of the General Affairs Office, did not dare to slack off, he was busy finding one of them from a long list of copper keys, and opened the lock on the 'door' of this warehouse with great skill.
Pushing open the heavy stone warehouse 'door', there was immediately a foul smell of 'medicine' rushing into his nostrils, Xu Dong saw rows of shelves against the wall, and all kinds of 'medicine' materials were stored on the shelves.
Each kind of 'medicine' material is labeled with the name of 'medicine', such as "Atractylodes", "Shengdi", "Cooked Land", etc., Xu Dong looked at all the 'medicine' herbs on the shelf, but did not find a spiritual 'medicine' on the formula of "Nourishing the Soul and Stabilizing the Fetus".
"Guo Aiqing, is this the warehouse where the spiritual 'medicine' is stored? β
Guo Yan said, "Your Majesty, what kind of spiritual 'medicine' are you looking for, this is just a place to store ordinary 'medicine' materials, and slightly more valuable spiritual 'medicine' will not be placed here." β
Xu Dong pointed to the sign on the 'door' of the warehouse, "But you clearly say 'spirit' and 'medicine'' on it, why do you only store some ordinary 'medicine' materials." β
"Your Majesty, you don't know anything. Guo Yi explained, "The signs written on this 'door' are all fake, and this 'spiritual 'medicine' is at least stored in the 'medicine' herbs, and maybe there is a room that says 'spirit stone' but the inside is empty." β
"Why. β
Guo Tong said, "This is a rule that has always been handed down, and the only useful thing in the treasury is the number, and those signs are written indiscriminately, and the corresponding items can only be found by comparing the number." β
