Why do we say that ordinary heroic spirits are arbitrary for eternity?

Chapter 64 The second level of Qi training, completely transformed!
  The great virtuous teacher Zhang Jiao was not in a hurry to leave Nanyang.

The last time I left in a hurry, it was because the typhoid plague couldn't be delayed and we had to prepare as early as possible in order to receive timely treatment.

But this time it was different. He had already mastered the formula of gunpowder and a series of production processes. These things could not be rushed and required careful planning.

Besides, he didn't want to think that as soon as he walked away with his front foot, Lu Yu would come up with another novelty with his back foot, and he would have to rush to Nanyang again without stopping.

So he came to Lu Yu specifically to ask if Lu Yu had any new ideas.

After arriving here, I immediately felt a completely different scene.

It seems that because too many people have been recruited in a short period of time, many people have no place to live, so you can see people building houses everywhere.

Forget it, Zhang Jiao was surprised to find that the mental outlook of the Taiping Taoists on Lu Yu's side was obviously much better than that on Zhang Mancheng's side.

These people have good complexions and bright eyes that can be seen with the naked eye. They are very energetic whether they are working or training!
  This made Zhang Jiao a little surprised. Even the thousand old believers he gave to Lu Yu were nothing more than that.

After walking for a while, Zhang Jiao suddenly spotted an old monk walking slowly.

The old monk's cheekbones were very high, his face was covered with wrinkles, and his face was dull and gray, as if he was going to die at any moment.

There were several young monks following behind him, looking at the place curiously.

"What is this?" Zhang Jiao was a little surprised. Why are these monks here on Lu Yu's Taiping Road?
  Moreover, the old monk looked like he was about to die, and he didn't look like he was here to preach, let alone to beg for alms.

Zhang Jiao walked in a little further, and the old monk also noticed his arrival. He quickly stopped, clasped his hands together, and saluted, "I've met the Taoist Master."

Zhang Jiao also bowed his hands and asked curiously: "I have met the master. Why did the master come here this time?"

The old monk smiled slightly and said seriously: "I came here to attend to my affairs."

Hearing this, Zhang Jiao was even more surprised. Why did Lu Yu, Taipingdao, let the monk take care of his posthumous affairs?
  This doesn't make sense!

"Let me give Master a ride." Zhang Jiao thought for a while and said.

"Please." The old monk didn't care and said with a smile.

Then we walked together and chatted casually, but the topic did not go into depth.

But even so, both the old monk and Zhang Jiao realized that the other party was not simple.

"It's a pity that I will die soon, otherwise I would have had a long talk with the Taoist priest all night long!" the old monk said with emotion.

Not long after, the old monk found Ren Weiliang, the protector.

After Ren Weiliang knew that the old monk, a rich man, was coming, he immediately went out to greet him. But when he saw the great virtuous master, his expression suddenly changed. He wanted to explain, but he didn't know how to explain.

"Just do your thing and don't worry about me." Zhang Jiao said calmly.

After just talking, he had realized that this old monk was extraordinary and must be a highly respected person. It would be a good idea to let Taiping Dao handle his posthumous affairs!

But the next scene left Zhang Jiao stunned and unexpected.

But Ren Weiliang took out a plate of 'elixir' and handed it to the old monk.

Zhang Jiao frowned and took a closer look, where is the elixir?
  The colorful stones were mixed with something unknown and shaped into balls.

Is this thing edible?
  The old monk did not hesitate, he drank the pills with difficulty, put his hands together, and said gratefully: "Thank you Taoist Master, if things can be done, I will have no regrets in this life!"

Ren Weiliang smiled and said, "It's just an equal transaction."

After these monks left, Zhang Jiao started to ask.

"What's the situation?"

"To put it simply, it's just business." Ren Weiliangyi said simply.

"Doing business?" Zhang Jiao was a little confused.

"Yes..." Ren Weiliang nodded and began to explain in detail.

Here's the thing.

In order to earn more money, train the people of Taiping Road into real elite soldiers.

Lu Yu has done a lot of business, including serious business, illegal business, and even some strange businesses!

Leather workshop, private salt sales, Tianxiangbao soap, etc.

Lu Yu even sent people to contact many temples and told them that he had ancient elixirs here, and as long as they were eaten, relics could be made!

As soon as these words came out, the temple monks were stunned!
  That's a relic. The most precious treasure of Buddhism!
  It represents that the spirit, wisdom and merit of the eminent monk or saint have reached perfection!
  Almost all monks believe that the reason why eminent monks produce relics after their death is because they have reached extraordinary states of liberation and enlightenment, leaving behind relics.

And now, someone actually came to them and said that as long as they gave them money, they could help you burn the relics?

In an instant, all the monks became angry, scolded you for talking nonsense, and kicked you out.

But even so, some people still can't stand it.

After all, the person who said these words was none other than the famous Taiping Tao Medicine God!

soon.

When the first relic was burned out.

Countless old monks’ Taoist hearts collapsed, oh, no, Buddha’s hearts collapsed.

In the face of the iron-clad facts, no matter how they refute, they all look pale and powerless!

Others can burn relics, and if you say that you have perfect merits and virtues, but you cannot burn relics after death, what kind of eminent monk are you?
  Once this happens.

This business started naturally.

There were not many monks in the Han Dynasty. After all, it had only been a hundred years since the White Horse Temple was a government-run temple.

Over the past hundred years, the development of Buddhism has not been too fast, but it has not been too slow either.

However, most religions are very profitable industries, especially in a prosperous place like Nanyang. These temples are backed by powerful families and make a lot of money.

Lu Yu then came up with the idea of ​​burning relics and harvesting the monks' leeks.

As for whether it will help Buddhism develop rapidly?
  That's obviously unlikely.

When more and more relics are burned and gradually begin to litter the streets, what kind of sanctity does this thing have?

Listening to Ren Weiliang's explanation, Zhang Jiao couldn't help but be stunned. How could he do this in business?
  Are you starting to help the monks burn relics?
  He also used the vivid metaphor of "cutting leeks".

"It's a good metaphor to cut leeks one after another..." Zhang Jiao murmured.

"These are Lu Shuai's exact words." Ren Weiliang said with a smile: "This business doesn't have much capital, but it can easily make a lot of money every day. I don't know how Lu Shuai came up with it..."

at the same time.

A mansion.

Lu Yu slowly opened his eyes.

The spiritual power from the future was brought back, and the countless strands of spiritual power in the body had reached the critical point. With the addition of these spiritual powers, changes occurred instantly.

The wisps of spiritual power quickly transformed and soon turned into a light mist. Then, everything fell into place and the state entered the second level of Qi training!

But the change was not only that, what was brought back was not only the spiritual power, but also the ‘Fire Spirit Vermilion Fruit’!
  When Lu Yu broke through to the second level of Qi training.

The special energy from the Fire Spirit Vermilion Fruit, like a blazing flame, quickly spread throughout Lu Yu's body, as if it was going to burn him to death!

"What a domineering energy!"

Lu Yu frowned, quickly calmed down, and began to try his best to accept and transform this domineering energy.

With the continuous 'burning', Lu Yu could clearly feel that his body was rapidly becoming stronger under the transformation of this domineering energy!
  This speed of getting stronger was so fast that Lu Yu was a little stunned.

Skin, flesh, muscles, and bones, every part of the body is constantly changing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

After the transformation, the domineering energy completely disappeared and the pain stopped, but Lu Yu still had some unfinished thoughts.

Compared with the small pain, this feeling of getting stronger quickly is so great!

Lu Yu could feel that his body had been completely transformed!

"It is indeed a treasure in the secret realm ten thousand years later."

"This treasure has such great benefits for the body. Why does the little rich woman say it is a treasure specially designed to enhance heroic spirits?"

"Yes, if it is also useful to people, or even more effective, you might be worried that I won't want it, right?"

At this moment, Lu Yu suddenly discovered something.

"Huh? Master is here?"
