Chapter 2 Changes in Commerce
After Shen Gongbao disposed of Shang Rong's body, he said goodbye to Shang Ziyi and returned to his mansion, but saw Liu'er hurriedly coming over, scratching the monkey's cheek and saying, "The apprentice has seen Shizun, Shizun, you are back!"
Shen Gongbao nodded lightly and said, "Liu'er, what is happening?"
"Yes, before Nuwa Niangniang suddenly gathered all the demons from all over the world to gather in Nuwa Palace, but I didn't know what the so-called thing was, that Nuwa Palace was a saint's dojo, and the disciples couldn't eavesdrop on it. ”
Shen Gongbao listened to it and said slowly: "At this time, the teacher already knows that it is His Majesty who is now saying that when he is pouring incense in Nuwa Palace, he inscribed a silver poem to blaspheme Nuwa Niangniang, which angered the holy face.
"I see!" Liu'er said suddenly, paused for a moment, and then continued: "Master, a phoenix suddenly appeared in the land of Xiqi, and it chirped on Qi Mountain for several hours before flying away, but for some reason!"
Shen Gongbao listened, pondered for a moment, and then sighed: "Fengming Qishan, hehe, after all, it can't be changed!"
Liu'er listened in the fog, and didn't understand what Shen Gongbao wanted to change, but Shen Gongbao didn't ignore Liu'er's confusion, and said: "Liu'er, you continue to pay attention to the affairs of Beihai and the land of Xiqi, and immediately come and tell the teacher if there is a situation!"
Then Shen Gongbao returned to his room, sat down cross-legged, slowly turned his whole body in the exercises, and then silenced all his mind in the sea of knowledge.
Each monk's sea of knowledge is like a vast and boundless space, in which the monk's primordial spirit exists in the sea of knowledge, and the fairy mist in the sea of consciousness is ethereal, and only the place where the primordial god is located can be clear and bright.
In the sea of knowledge, those places shrouded in immortal mist cannot be explored with divine sense, it is very mysterious, Shen Gongbao glanced at those clouds and mist with his divine sense, and then stopped paying attention, and all his mind was silent on the merit list that was as black as ink.
Since Shen Gongbao successfully refined the embryo of the merit list, it has never been refined again, and it is all placed in the sea of knowledge to be warmed, but it has its own deep meaning.
The space in the vicinity of Shen Gong Leopard's Zhihai Yuan Shen presents three colors, one is gold, which is for merit, one is black, which is for karma, and one is milky white, which is for the wishes of all people. Among them, all the karma of Shen Gongbao has been absorbed by the merit list and condensed in the merit list.
The reason why Shen Gongbao put the merit list in the sea of knowledge is to let his karma be absorbed by the merit list in time, no longer interfere with his mind, and let himself keep a calm heart at all times.
Whether it is karma or merit or the power of the people's wishes, the ultimate place of their role is the monk's original spirit, but the merit and the people's wish can make the monk's own luck increase, only karma, not only does not allow his own luck to increase, but also makes the monk's obsession blind his mind and make wrong decisions at critical moments.
Those who are riddled with karma, especially in the midst of calamity, when the time comes, will be under the traction of that trace of karma, blinding your mind, letting obsession occupy your heart, showing most of them impulsively, doing things regardless of the consequences, and people who are very good at turning will also become like reckless people, only know how to rampage, and finally hit their heads and bleed.
However, because of the merit list, Shen Gongbao doesn't need to worry about this matter, as long as his merit has always been redundant with karma, and he will not eat himself because of refining the merit list, he doesn't need to worry about karma letting his obsession occupy his heart.
Divine sense faintly glanced at the merit list, and Shen Gongbao found that the current merit list was completely black and foggy, and he couldn't see his list at all, which showed that Shen Gongbao's own karma was also a lot.
"Call the merit list, it seems that it is time for you to play a role, now that the sage of Nuwa Niangniang is angry, the general trend of the Heavenly Dao is completely inclined to Xiqi, and as a great merchant national teacher, he is standing on the absolute opposite side, and everything he does is against the general trend of the Heavenly Dao and blocks the operation of the Heavenly Dao, but this karma is increasing every day. ”
"With the help of this merit list, you can keep a calm heart all the time, but now your karma is increasing every day, and you seem to have obtained a lot of merit before, but you can't stand such an increase in karma, if once the karma exceeds the merit, then because of the refining of the merit list, you will be devoured, and you will be destroyed, and it seems that you need to continue to plan for the merit!"
"And this merit list is now just an embryo, and it needs to be refined, otherwise there is only one function of absorbing karma, but it is too little, since under the motto of the Great Dao, I have refined the embryo of the merit list, I guess I can still continue to comprehend some things, and refine the merit list more powerfully. ”
After making up his mind, Shen Gongbao returned to the body, and then continued to meditate, waiting for the next day, and then went to meet Shang Xuan, sighed, and saw if he could redeem some, but Shen Gongbao actually had no hope in his heart, after all, the gods had been activated, and he did this just for peace of mind.
The next morning, after Shen Gongbao was ready, he slowly looked at the palace and walked, only to meet Bigan and others who returned from the court early, and after greeting each other, Shen Gongbao knew that the Shang Xuan above the court seemed to be still behaving very strangely, and it seemed that he had no intention of listening to the minister's recital, and the review of the recital was also early, and he was simply absent-minded, which was far from the conscientious Shang Xuan before.
Bigan and the others were worried, their faces were full of sorrow, Shen Gongbao saw this, and said slowly: "After Poor Dao has met His Majesty, let's talk to everyone!"
Bi Gan, Huang Feihu and the others all nodded, and then Shen Gongbao said goodbye to everyone and went to see Shang Xuan.
In the Longde Palace, Shen Gongbao frowned, looked at Shang Xuan, and was silent, and Shang Xuan was stared at so closely by Shen Gongbao, it seemed very uncomfortable, so he broke the silence and said: "The teacher came today, but I don't know what happened?"
Seeing that Shang Xuan had spoken, Shen Gongbao couldn't continue to be silent, so he said: "Your Majesty, do you know what you did yesterday and today, which makes the ministers feel cold!"
After hearing this, Shang Xun's face changed when he stared, and he wanted to be angry, but he seemed to be a little afraid of Shen Gongbao, so he barely restrained the anger in his heart, and said: "The lonely king doesn't understand the teacher's meaning, I hope the teacher will say it clearly!"
"Your Majesty, if you want to be a virtuous monarch, one needs to be good at recruiting talents, employing people regardless of relatives and relatives, "meritocracy";
Shen Gongbao said slowly, staring at Shang Xun tightly, and after a pause, Shen Gongbao said again: "Poor Dao dares to ask Your Majesty, Your Majesty's words and deeds yesterday are really the actions of a wise monarch?"
Shang Xuan was silent, sitting there quietly as if he was listening to a lecture, but the violent aura in his eyebrows seemed to be intensifying, and he was about to explode.
Shen Gongbao frowned, at this time Shen Gongbao found that this business has indeed changed a lot, if it was before, Shen Gongbao said so, Shang Gong Bao would have nodded respectfully yes, and was very willing to accept Shen Gongbao's guidance.
At this time, although Shang Xuan was also silent, he was obviously not listening to his own teachings, and Shen Gongbao was also puzzled for a while, what happened to Shang Xuan at this time?
After half a ring, Shang Xuan said slowly: "The lonely king said yesterday that he really shouldn't treat the old prime minister like this, and later the lonely king will definitely order someone to visit the old prime minister and talk about his feelings." ”
Shang Rong because of yesterday's incident, but this morning is not able to go to the morning court, Shang Rong must know, seeing Shang Rong say this, Shen Gongbao's face softened slightly, and then asked: "But I don't know that Your Majesty has a reflection on the matter of incense in Nuwa Palace, Your Majesty said yesterday is indeed very inappropriate, but it is a derelict act, so how should the people of the Quartet imagine Your Majesty?"
After a pause, Shen Gongbao said again: "Your Majesty, why don't you open the altar to worship the sky as the old prime minister Shang Rong said, and pray like Nuwa Niangniang!"
Shen Gongbao asked Shang to open the altar to pray to the heavens, but it was not to alleviate Nuwa Niangniang's anger, after all, the anger of the saint was not so easy to eliminate, but Shen Gongbao did this to save the people's hearts that Dashang had lost because of yesterday's incident.
Nuwa Niangniang was born as the Virgin of the Human Race, and her reputation in Kyushu is very high, no worse than Lao Tzu, but what Shang said yesterday made Dashang lose a lot of popular support.
If the people's will does not exist, how can a country exist?
When Shen Gongbao said this, Shang Xuan glared at him and shouted: "Teacher, I respect you as a father, but it doesn't mean that you can arbitrarily accuse the Lone King, as the king of a country, how can you accuse the Lone King wantonly, where is the face of the Lone King? And the Lone King has already said that the matter of yesterday must be mentioned again, and the Lone King is not at fault!"
Seeing the tyrannical Shang Xuan, Shen Gongbao was silent, and after a long time, he said: "Since this is the case, the poor road will leave!"
With a wave of his hand, he walked out of the Longde Palace, leaving behind a gloomy face.
After a while, Shang Xun's angry roar came: "Bastard! The Lone King is the lord of a country, you and other ministers dare to lose the face of the Lone King like this, they are all bastards!"
Bang! Bang!
Boom! Boom!
Bang! Bang!
A series of smashing sounds immediately came from inside the Longde Palace, making the attendants waiting outside the Longde Hall tremble, lest they provoke the holy face, touch the moldy head, and invite the disaster of killing.
Shen Gongbao slowly walked on the palace avenue, frowning and contemplating, "It seems that what happened to this merchant is still needed!"
Then he let out a long sigh, "I didn't expect that the gods had just begun, but the rear that I thought was the strongest had undergone such a change, and the idea of changing my life against the sky was just wishful thinking, but now I just want to re-plan and protect myself and the sect members!"
