"Monk, judging from your appearance, you must have already stepped into the Buddhist path with one foot in. Why not devote yourself to Buddhism instead of getting involved in the conflicts between us martial arts people?" Sensing the monk's strength, Shi Zhuang's tone softened considerably.
Liu Zhuang quickly chimed in, "You yourself said that monks should not kill. You are a Buddhist disciple, so why get involved in the fighting and killing in the martial world?"
The monk smiled softly.
His smile was low, but in the end, it became more and more unrestrained.
There's a sense of unease about it.
He opened his light-colored eyes, giving off an air of looking down on all living beings: "Monks should not kill, but if the Buddha closes his eyes, then if I kill someone, it is the same as not killing them."
The monk wrapped the prayer beads around his hand in several loops, then put that hand behind his back.
He simply extended his left hand and struck the two people in front of him with a palm strike.
Shi Zhuang and Liu Zhuang never expected that this monk possessed an air of detachment from worldly desires.
It turned out to be an evil monk.
What does it mean when Buddha closes his eyes?
Are you practicing your spirituality for the Buddha's benefit?
Young man, that's a dangerous idea!
Liu Zhuang and Shi Zhuang felt like a million alpacas were crawling through their minds.
But given the current situation, they have no choice but to fight.
Even if they don't want the fragments in the monk's hands, the monk will still want the fragments in both of their hands.
The two of them hit the monk with one hand.
They were also somewhat unable to cope.
The monk's palm techniques, whose master was unknown, were both expansive and unpredictable.
A few breaths,
Shi Zhuang and Liu Zhuang both suffered internal injuries.
Then he was killed when the monk snapped his neck.
The two fragments of the city entry permit they had been carrying also ended up in the monk's hands.
"Amitabha," the monk said devoutly, starting to fiddle with his prayer beads again.
The three fragments of the entry order floated in front of him at the same time, and then pieced themselves together.
...
"Should we agree to let them into the city? Yes or no?"
Gu Mu chose the latter.
Looking at the people entering the hidden city,
He never imagined that the one who entered the hidden city would be a monk.
He was wearing a cassock, and there was no blood on his clothes.
He fiddled with the prayer beads, as if he had already stepped halfway into Buddhism.
His eyes were very light-colored, as if he had cast aside all worldly concerns.
However, this order to enter the city would not reach the monk unless he had committed murder and robbery.
“Buddha, you really didn’t lie to me.” The monk stood at the gate of Hidden City, looked around, and then turned and left.
He didn't care what the Hidden City had.
All he needed to do was confirm that the hidden city truly existed in the human world.
He didn't believe hearsay; he only saw it with his own eyes.
To confirm this, he killed two people, both of whom were masters from renowned martial arts sects.
“Hidden City… such a magical place… he will definitely come,” the monk said calmly.
They left the city gate and disappeared into the white mist.
He reappeared on the rooftop where he fought with Shi Zhuang and Liu Zhuang.
"Amitabha Buddha," the monk compassionately chanted to the two corpses.
Then, they disappeared into the night.
...
Good heavens, it's a monk.
Gu Mu was a little unhappy.
After all, would a monk stoop so low as to take someone's life?
If the monks simply hold the token and don't recruit people, wouldn't Gu Mu be wasting the token's value?
But things are valued for their scarcity.
If city entry permits become commonplace items,
The popularity of Hidden City will surge.
But high popularity is not just Gu Mu's goal.
For Hidden City to be perceived as a mysterious and powerful entity, the news that its lord intended to kill the Regent would be enough to warrant the Queen's attention.
After the monk left,
Hidden City has become an empty city once again.
Gu Mu obtained the Hidden City, but he has never personally visited it; he has always controlled it through his consciousness.
Or, from an overhead perspective, watch the people entering the hidden city.
However, this time, Gu Mu felt it necessary for him to personally visit Hidden City.
Get to know more about this city in person.
Gu Mu was the only person in the room.
After Gu Mu gave the order to enter the Hidden City...
He felt a white mist appear around him, and then a bustling, ancient city appeared before his eyes.
He was very familiar with this city; he had looked down upon it many times.
Now, it's like 2.0 has become 3.0.
The first place everyone who enters the hidden city appears at is the city gate.
Although the doors of the houses in the two rows at the city gate were closed, they could be pushed open with a push.
This row of houses, though all very prosperous, all share the same style.
Gu Mu felt that it would be perfect for using as a shop.
Of the five iconic cities in the east, west, south, north, and center, when he takes an overhead view, he can only enter the main city.
Now, having visited the site, he discovered that he could only enter the main city; all other doors were locked, making the area completely airtight.
Gu Mu tried burning it, but although the building looked to be made of wood, burning it didn't work, so he gave up.
Anyway, it's his property, and sooner or later he'll find out what the other four cities are for.
After taking a stroll and drawing on his experience with the 2.0 overhead view, Gu Mu quickly made a plan.
This main street leading to the city gate of the Hidden City was used as shops to facilitate business for others.
The two streets behind were used for residential purposes.
Gu Mu pushed open the doors of the three shops on each of the outermost sides.
It was filled with amazing looms.
In this way, there will be a total of six shops filled with looms. When the time comes, he will let those who become citizens of the Hidden City take over the shops, and the Hidden City Lord, as the supplier, will take a certain amount of profit from them, and they will distribute these magical looms to the people.
After all, looms can benefit the people and do not need to be subject to quantity control like penicillin.
The person who takes over the shop can supply as much as they can sell. Gu Mu can easily extract a high profit, and the magical loom is a reward from the system, so Gu Mu doesn't need to pay any costs at all.
The more amazing the things Hidden City offers, the more frantic the people who want to become citizens of Hidden City will become. Once they become citizens of Hidden City, Gu Mu can use various benefits and treaties to control them and make them work for him.
Gu Mu clearly marked the prices of these six shops.
Place the sale information in the main city.
In this way, the next person with a city entry permit will be able to see the sale information when they register their name in the main city.
The assassins were placed in the Hidden City by Gu Mu, serving as city management officers to supervise the behavior of the residents.
Gu Mu also granted the assassins the authority to remove people from the hidden city at any time.
The doors of the six shops were wide open, in case anyone tried to steal the magical loom.
Those who steal will be immediately removed from the hidden city by the assassins and added to the blacklist. Only the thief will be removed from the hidden city.
Even if he managed to steal the magical loom and had it in his grasp, only he himself could leave the hidden city.
The magical loom will remain in the Hidden City.
There were unseen assassins secretly maintaining order in the hidden city, which reassured Gu Mu.
