Wu Chi places great importance on his own cultivation, and is merciless and unrighteous, but he does have a bit of a monk's demeanor.
But the key is that the culprit in Wu Ming's death was not Nan Yi. Even if Wu Chi really wanted to blame him, he could only blame Fenghuang for being overbearing and forcibly pulling people away.
If Wu Mingming was killed by Nan Yi, and then Wu Chi came to claim compensation, Nan Yi might consider giving a zhenqi method to calm the matter.
Anyway, the true energy method is based on the "Emperor Sword" martial art. Nan Yi has the power of life and death over martial arts. He can give it away and take it back at any time.
But Wu Ming's death was not Nan Yi's fault.
Wu Chi used this as an excuse to say that death is a big deal, but Nan Yi only found it funny.
Nan Yi has never been cold to talk about everything coming and everyone dying. And because of his past life experience, he is very tired of moral kidnapping and blackmail.
As for Wu Chi's promise to use the Wu family's property as a weight, Nan Yi was equally disdainful.
Whether it was the Qin family or the Pei family who wanted to give their daughter to Nan Yi as a Taoist companion; or Wu Chi today, using the Wu family's property as bait, they all wanted to use the usual tricks between aristocratic families to frame Nan Yi and make Nan Yi Yi followed the path of the aristocratic family.
In Dali, once an aristocratic family discovers that a talented civilian disciple has emerged from the Immortal Sect, they usually try to get him on board the same warship, but rarely suppress him specifically.
Because if there is no place to stay, there will always be a place to stay. If the civilian disciples of the Immortal Sect are suppressed, the worst they can do is leave and go to other counties to govern, practice as officials, or run industries.
And due to the replacement of monks in aristocratic families, there are often gaps. Therefore, many aristocratic families will select the best civilian disciples from the immortal sect during the generation change period.
Even if they were promised property and help with their cultivation, it would only last for a few decades at most. When the commoner disciples have successfully built the foundation and entered the inner sect and left the mortal world, the so-called property will still return to the hands of the aristocratic family.
But if these civilian disciples are really talented and talented, they can take the family's industry to a higher level and continuously expand and monopolize new businesses and markets.
Probably a well-established family and smooth staff.
Nan Yi understood, but was disdainful.
Building the foundation is to build the fundamental foundation and determine one's own path.
The more self-centered and fundamental, theoretically, the stronger the foundation will be.
This was Tao Zhiming's secret practice secret that he specifically told Nan Yi before.
As a disciple of the Immortal Sect, I practice the Immortal Sect's techniques step by step, and it goes really smoothly. But if you want to go a long way, you still have to find your own path, that is, set your own path.
In Nan Yi's understanding, the true path of spiritual practice in this world is like starting a business. You can accept venture capital from others, but you must protect your own equity and the company's core business.
Therefore, regardless of the Qin family, Pei family or Wu family, Nan Yi rejected them all.
Just because taking over a family's property may seem like a shortcut to spiritual practice, but it's actually destroying your own path.
It's a pity that this point is simple to say, but it is the key to true inheritance.
Tao Zhiming was a fallen monk, so he could privately advise Nan Yi.
It is difficult for ordinary disciples of the Immortal Sect, even disciples from aristocratic families, to realize this when they are in the outer sect of the Immortal Sect and are in the company of the world.
Therefore, most disciples of aristocratic families start their own business and directly inherit their own property. His skills are those of the Immortal Sect, and his property is the property of an aristocratic family. There is little evidence of his own true Taoism.
It seems that it is easy to cultivate Qi and it is easy to enter the Xuan level, but in fact, the foundation is insufficient and it is difficult to reach the Earth level.
Of course, considering the art of transforming tribulations and catastrophes, the so-called disciples of aristocratic families are mostly the cultivation resources of the ancestors of the aristocratic families. Nan Yi was not surprised by this.
Only Tao Zhiming said that he would leave a channel of true energy for him, which made Nan Yi a little surprised.
Nan Yi did not expect that Tao Zhiming, who deliberately fell into a slump and returned to the path of spiritual practice, and transformed into a human being for the second time to build the foundation of the Tao, would also be interested in the True Qi Dharma.
But after a moment's thought, Nan Yi suddenly realized.
As long as you grasp your own path, it doesn't matter whether you are cultivating the Immortal Sect Kung Fu or cultivating the True Qi Dharma. It is normal for Senior Brother Tao to ask for a piece of Zhenqi Dharma for reference.
Nan Yi responded immediately.
It's just that this matter has to wait for him to be resurrected and teach him martial arts in person, which will take some time.
After Yang Yang and Wu Chi, the third person who came to visit was actually Huo Ziliang, a member of the Chu family's official staff and a member of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Unlike the menacing Yang and Wu, Huo Ziliang stopped at the door of Chengyou Bookstore and asked, "Fellow Tao Dao, I am Huo Ziliang, a staff member of the Chu family. Can I come into the store for a chat?"
Tao Zhiming was not an unreasonable person. Seeing Huo Ziliang asking questions beforehand outside the door, he would not casually use the "Miracle Ring" to trap people.
Tao Zhiming motioned Huo Ziliang to enter the store and asked him why he came.
"Fellow Taoist Nan Yi once agreed to serve as the county guard and accompany the county guard at the end of the month to inspect emerging factories in various places. Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened, and Taoist Nan Yi accidentally got involved in the Phoenix inheritance spiritual realm and lost his life."
"I have given up on accompanying the inspection. But I heard that Taoist Nan Yi still had a chance of resurrection, so I was ordered by the county governor to come here to express my blessing and see if my Taoist was resurrected. But I am lacking spiritual materials? If there is any shortage The county government should be able to provide some of the things you need."
Huo Ziliang has a gentle and humble attitude and can be called a humble gentleman.
Tao Zhiming looked in his eyes, but he seemed to be smiling.
However, Tao Zhiming didn't say anything, and just said: "There is actually no shortage of spiritual materials. It's just hard to say when Junior Brother Nan will be resurrected."
Huo Ziliang sighed: "I hope fellow Taoist Nan Yi can be resurrected soon."
Afterwards, after a brief exchange of greetings, Huo Ziliang took his leave.
It seemed that he really just came here on a special trip to bring a message of blessing to the county governor, Chu Kuangsheng.
But in fact, Huo Ziliang wanted to take a look at Nan Yi.
Although the current location of Nan Yi's heart will not be visible to Huo Ziliang.
But Huo Ziliang only needed a short distance to sense.
In this world, one has to wait until the Yuanshen stage, which is the upper level of the Xuan level, so that the monks can still reside in this world with their souls after the physical body is extinguished.
Before this, regardless of monks or mortals, once the body died, the soul returned to the underworld and fell directly to the underworld, making it difficult to stay in the present world.
The followers of the Six Paths of Reincarnation are different. As long as they cultivate to the stage of transformation, they can resist the attraction of the underworld after the death of the physical body, stay in the present world, and then be reborn.
For example, Huo Ziliang himself was the one who took over his body and was reborn.
Therefore, at the age of twenty-four, he had already transformed into a mortal. His cultivation was not weak, but his soul seemed to be unstable. He needed Chu Family Soul Condensing Pills to stabilize his soul.
After the Qin family tea party, Huo Ziliang already knew that Nan Yi was not a fundamentalist of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. But in Nan Yi's heart, he also has the concept of six paths of reincarnation.
Huo Ziliang had some doubts. Could it be that the Six Paths of Reincarnation had changed its teachings in later generations?
Huo Ziliang, whose soul comes from ancient times, does not know the current situation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation, and is not even sure whether the Six Paths of Reincarnation still exists in today's world.
After all, in the last years of ancient times, Dou Fu Yue Zai's rise to power began with the destruction of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sect.
Huo Ziliang, who lost to Dou Fu Yue Zai and barely managed to keep his remaining soul sealed for future generations, doubted that the Six Paths of Reincarnation Sect had been wiped out by Dou Fu Yue Zai in ancient times.
After meeting Nan Yi, Huo Ziliang had some doubts as to whether there would be any remaining followers of the Six Paths of Reincarnation who had quietly changed their teachings and legal principles as the years passed.
In short, Huo Ziliang is very curious about Nan Yi.
Hearing that Nan Yi was dead, but not completely dead, and that there was still a chance of resurrection, Huo Ziliang came here specially to secretly sense Nan Yi to see if there were any tricks he was familiar with during Nan Yi's resurrection.
It's a pity that Huo Ziliang didn't feel familiar with the method.
He could only hide his doubts and say goodbye.
However, Huo Ziliang, who had been focusing on Nan Yi and feeling secretly, didn't know that after he left, Tao Zhiming's eyes seemed a little deep.
…………
Huo Ziliang came to visit on February 28th.
After Huo Ziliang left, Song Zhong informed Nan Yi of the matter in time.
Nan Yi breathed a sigh of relief.
This time, Chu Kuangsheng was finally thrown away.
Song Zhong was a little puzzled: "Brother Nan, introducing steam technology and setting up factories is a good thing. Why is it that the county guard asks you to accompany him on inspections, but you are as afraid as a tiger?"
Nan Yi explained: "Brother Song, I don't know. Previously, the county guard wanted me to walk on his behalf and directly supervise all businesses. Later, when he saw that I didn't respond, he asked me to accompany him on the inspection."
"The former uses me as a sword to compete with aristocratic families, which can be called a pit of fire. The latter is not bad, at most there are some minor troubles. But even if it is a minor trouble, since I happen to be dead, I will hide if I can, and I will avoid it if I can. avoid."
Nan Yi sighed: "As for setting up factories to provide people with work, it is of course a good thing. But good things come with misfortunes, and behind good things, there are always hidden dangers. Of course, no matter what, the benefits of introducing steam technology always outweigh the disadvantages."
Song Zhong curiously asked: "I wonder, Brother Nan, apart from the fact that one property is finally controlled by the family, what are the specific hidden dangers?"
The disciples of the Immortal Sect are first of all the students of the school, and they pay attention to learning and practicing diligently. So Song Zhong was really curious at this moment.
The two of them communicated in a congenial manner, and there were no outsiders. Nan Yi sighed sadly:
"As far as the country is concerned, if the people have jobs, it is for stability; if things are produced, it is for prosperity. So no matter what, the introduction of steam technology is a good thing and can enhance the national strength."
"As for the people, not to mention the wages they can get from work, the increase in factory output has driven down prices and improved their daily lives. Not only that everyone has enough food and clothing, but at least they will not starve to death."
"At first glance, this situation can be called a great good. However, whether people are in trouble or not does not simply depend on the wealth of their families."
"In my opinion, the crux of people's livelihood lies in the distribution of wealth. Once a factory turns materials into commodities, the price difference is obtained. This price difference is the wealth created by the factory. But who does the so-called wealth ultimately belong to?"
"There is no doubt that the wealth eventually returned to the family. In other words, the people worked hard without complaining, but in fact they only received a small amount of money called salary."
"This incident may seem normal, but it means that the wealth gap between common people and aristocratic families is widening day by day."
"In ancient times, there were twenty people and eighty families, so they were divided into twenty-eight."
"From now on, the number of people will be two hundred, but the number of aristocratic families will be eight hundred? No, the number of aristocratic families will be more than eight thousand."
"In other words, people in ancient times could only pick two out of ten; in the future, ordinary people would be the same."
"In addition to being less likely to starve to death, what should be affordable is still unaffordable. Therefore, when people live in the same place as aristocratic families, they will only find that their daily livelihood becomes more and more difficult and difficult."
"This so-called strong will get stronger and the weak will get weaker. This is an eternal principle."
"After all, how can ordinary people, even if they spend decades working for aristocratic families, defeat the accumulation of generations of aristocratic families?"
Nan Yi suddenly laughed at himself. Because at the end of his words, he actually thought of his past life.
No matter how much the Dali family has a monopoly, at least it is not a credit currency, and there is no such thing as bank interest. In Nan Yi's previous life, money could beget money. The salary of a poor person working for a year was not as good as the interest earned by a rich person in one day.
In this way, as long as you get rich first, you can watch your descendants, work hard, and be able to make an annual income that can catch up with your own monthly or even single-day interest.
When Nan Yi thought about this situation, his tone was filled with sadness.
After hearing this, Song Zhong was stunned for a long time.
He really had never thought before that whether people's livelihood was in embarrassment or not was actually due to the difference in wealth.
But looking at Nan Yi's true insight and cold tone, as if he had already seen the future and understood the mystery, Song Zhong actually asked: "Is there a solution to this matter?"
Nan Yi shook his head silently: "There is no solution to this matter, at least I don't know how to really solve it. At most, I dare to say that there may be some relatively good solutions."
"After all, the strong get stronger and the weak get weaker. This is the way of human beings. Loss is not enough to show that there is more than enough." Nan Yi said in a faint voice, "Since this is the way of human beings, we are born as humans and have selfish motives. How can we explain it? "
"Actually, this situation can be called the solidification of status in the mortal world. It means that when a mortal is born in the world, his position and rank are almost destined."
"If you want to change your destiny and climb the ranks, you can only study, take the top ten in the exam, and enter the Immortal Academy. At this point, even if you don't enter the spiritual practice, you are just a mortal, you can still get an official status, so that future generations can rely on you and try your best to succeed. Accumulated over generations.”
"But if you really want to change your life, you still have to risk your life to draw in the energy and see if you have the talent for cultivation. Only by embarking on the path and becoming a monk can you be called a monk and change your life in the mortal world. "
"Because, in the mortal world, monks have great power and can easily seize wealth and honor in the world."
Song Zhong is not a monk yet.
But as long as Nan Yi adjusts the martial arts for Song Zhong, lets him embark on the Zhenqi martial arts, and uses the Zhenqi method to neutralize the strange power of blood, he can also be called a monk.
At present, Song Zhongli is only one day away from becoming a monk.
Wait until tomorrow, Nan Yi can tailor the exercises for Song Zhong.
Song Zhong, who was still just a mortal, was stunned for a long time after hearing Nan Yi's words.
But he asked: "Brother Nan, what is the specific solution to the relatively good solution you mentioned?"
Nan Yi looked deeply at Song Zhong, for a long time, and finally shook his head and said: "If you can't solve it, it's not your job to solve it. Those who can solve this problem are talented and talented. If they enter Taoism and practice, they may be able to enter the heavenly realm."
"Brother Song, you may be feeling wary and compassionate right now, and have thoughts of being a saint to rule the world. But as monks, we can only achieve success in the long run by our own way. Brother Song, you ask me for an explanation. I can say that. But I have to ask, Brother Song, do you want to become a saint who governs the world?"
Song Zhong was silent after hearing this.
Nan Yi said it very directly. Simply being impulsive is ultimately futile. If you really want to solve the world's problems, you must have the consciousness to become a saint who governs the world.
Otherwise, knowing the solution is worse than not knowing.
Song Zhong looked at himself and realized that he did not have the corresponding awareness.
He then retreated to the next best thing and said: "It is beyond my power to govern the world with saints. But I think that within my ability, I can perhaps do some small things to prepare the fire in advance for future generations of saints to emerge."
Hearing these words, even if it was just a projection of his consciousness, Nan Yi let out a breath.
He knew that Song Zhong's temperament was actually similar to him in some aspects.
Have self-awareness and know how much you weigh.
But I do have some goodwill towards the common people deep down in my heart.
I dare not say too much, but within my ability, I can do it easily.
So, Nan Yi said softly: "The fire is actually in my previous book "People with Aspirations and Benevolence". I call it the Way of Chivalry."
