A leisurely life that begins with the possession of a game character

Zhang Lan agreed to Deng Weihong's request to settle down and practice, which was a big deal in Deng Weihong's eyes, but nothing to Zhang Lan.

After Zhang Lan agreed, Deng Weihong, who was about to get up and say goodbye and leave, was stopped by Liu Xiaoyu and Li Yuan on the left and right.

The two of them said that it was getting late and they just wanted to stay for lunch. They were discussing the planning of the old Qingshan Village with Zhang Lan, so Deng Weihong could take a look and give some advice on what to avoid in the construction.

At the same time, the two of them were secretly asking whether the person they met when they were young was Deng Weihong.

After understanding what Liu Xiaoyu and Li Yuan meant, Deng Weihong quickly shook her head and denied it. She smiled and said, "You are talking about someone who is very similar to me in temperament. It is very likely that he is also a person who practices cultivation. But the two people you are talking about are not me. My daily routine is traceable. I have always been active near my home and rarely go out to other places."

Deng Weihong denied the speculation of Liu Xiaoyu and Li Yuan, but based on what the two said, she still gave her own opinion that Liu Xiaoyu might not have been wrong before.

Because he had only been in Qingshan Village for the past few days, Deng Weihong had seen several familiar faces. The Bodhisattva had appeared in Qingshan Village, and the practitioners who had paid attention to him were not just Deng Weihong.

Shen Huayu on the side asked Deng Weihong if he could give her some advice on her practice, or if he could give her a guide.

Tian Qingyong had just mentioned this topic, but Deng Weihong rejected it by saying that her practice was not enough. Now Shen Huayu brought it up again.

Deng Weihong asked, "Do you have money?"

"It's okay. I have enough food and clothing for now and don't have to worry about money." Shen Huayu thought for a while and replied.

"There must be a rough number," Deng Weihong continued.

"At present, it is not a problem to come up with tens of millions, but if it is more, it will require turnover."

Deng Weihong smiled and said, "With this little money you have, just live a good life. If you want to practice, don't force yourself."

Shen Huayu was a little unconvinced: "How can cultivation be so expensive? Didn't you just say that a stable place is enough? After the initial confirmation, you can still make money later."

Deng Weihong shook her head: "Let me tell you about the cost of my request to settle down and practice here with Teacher Zhang."

Deng Weihong explained everything to Shen Huayu one by one. First of all, he would practice here with Zhang Lan. The place belonged to Zhang Lan. Zhang Lan did not say anything else and directly agreed to let Deng Weihong practice here.

But the gifts for festivals and the arrangements behind the ancestral deities cost at least hundreds of thousands a year.

Then there was the construction of the training ground, which was very expensive. This was because Zhang Lan allowed her to build her own place here, but it was not uncommon to spend several million.

Also, if you go to a famous mountain or a grand sight, and you hang up a sign there to seek spiritual practice, the money for offerings is essential. You also have to spend money on daily practice. Finally, you have to spend money on the place where you use other people's space for retreat. You can easily earn over a million a year.

In other words, you will have a stable place for practice of your own, where you don't have to worry about food and drink, and you will have a variety of practice resources available for your practice. The initial investment will be several million, and there will be initial expenses of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year.

This is just simple practice. In the process, you need to find fellow practitioners, ask teachers for advice, and follow the teacher to participate in activities.

Especially in the beginning when I followed the teacher out, on the surface it seemed like I was going to deal with other people’s disasters one after another, which seemed quite glorious.

But in reality, if you don’t have the spiritual power to sustain your practice, every time you follow others out, you are damaging your own blessings.

In this case, after going out once, the least loss is to lose tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of dollars. If you are not careful, it will be a serious illness or an accident.

Not only do you suffer financially, but your body also suffers.

Since ancient times, the pursuit of truth and Taoism has not been something that ordinary people can do. Without sufficient money and power, practicing Taoism is just throwing money away.

Don't think that you only see money when you practice. In fact, most people in the world are busy all day long, struggling, going to work, working, doing business, trying their best, engaging in speculation, scheming, cheating people and telling lies, and doing all kinds of shameful things just for the word money.

They are all strong pursuits and desires that come from my greedy and selfish heart. I want to make more money, I want to be richer, I want to save more money, I want to spend more money. Only money can bring me blessings, enjoyment, and happiness.

Most people spend their whole lives obsessed with money, lost in money, busy with money, suffering in money, and finally die in money.

I always think that I can't live without money, I can't wear clothes and eat without money, and I can't face life without money. Without money, I will feel uncomfortable, unhappy and sad when eating and drinking other people's food. I always live below others and can't lift my head.

Many people cannot pass this level in their spiritual practice. They think that they are not greedy for money and do not want money, but they must use money.

Monks rely on the organization behind them. When a group of people get together, they can receive offerings from all directions. Someone will take care of their food and clothing, so they don’t have to worry about anything.

Lay Buddhists at home must be determined to practice cultivation. They cannot be without money, cannot eat food from all over the world, and cannot accept offerings from others. This is the general mentality of practitioners, and it is difficult to transcend and break through.

They think this is the reality of life, but it is a reality that must be faced. People cannot live without food or clothes, and they need money to eat and wear clothes. It is good to say that letting go of all attachments will lead to liberation, but there is still a body living in the world.

Some people say that we should let go of everything and empty ourselves. Who wouldn’t want to empty our bodies, not have anything, no need to wear clothes or eat, no need to worry about anything? How worry-free, how comfortable and happy. But who can reach the state of emptying the body, entering into a state of meditation for a hundred years without eating or feeling hungry, and keeping warm without wearing clothes? Most people don’t have that skill, let alone that ability.

It is just that we say emptiness, that we should not be attached to appearances or cling to things, but our body and mind are not empty, so how can we not think about and care about things? A person who practices cultivation must at least have food, clothing, and the most basic living conditions. Otherwise, how can he feel at peace?

In addition to the most basic living conditions, we have to think about what to do if we get sick and have no money in the future. This is also the most realistic problem. It is not that you can just not think about it. When the disease comes, can you not think about it? Can the disease make people not think about it? Even if you don't think about it, your body will still feel uncomfortable and uneasy.

It is never easy for a person to practice cultivation. In addition to the difficulties in cultivation, there are also various hardships in life, each of which must be overcome. Behind each of them, the most basic requirement is to have money. Without enough money to withstand risks, what can you use to practice?
