Qi Wufei asked, "Brother Liu, what is this merit?"

Liu Tong said: "This is difficult to explain clearly. You can understand merit as a resource allocated by the way of heaven to all living beings in the world, and it is also the most fair resource.

The distribution of merit cannot be intervened in human terms, and there is no middlemen to make a difference, and there is no exploitation. Therefore, it is the fairest.

But merit is also the most vague and unpredictable. At present, only the merit monument can accurately measure your merit. However, the merit monument only gives data and will not tell you what you do to get how much merit.

Most of the world's understanding of merits comes from the moral theory of the Supreme One. There are many books published by the Immortal Examination Institute that discuss merits, so you can also go and take a look."

"What's the use of merit?"

"The greatest function of merit is to offset disasters. In the past, practitioners used to resist heavenly tribulations. When heavenly tribulation comes, it was difficult to withstand the body of the body. Merit can offset a large part of the power of heavenly tribulation, or the merits and disasters are inversely proportional. People with great merits will have smaller heavenly tribulations. Some people with great merits can even avoid heavenly tribulations."

Qi Wufei nodded and understood a little.

No wonder the Jade Emperor's infinite merit monument can balance the way of heaven and eliminate the heavenly disaster.

Although the Heavenly Court collects merit tax on the Three Realms, although it is only 6%, there are not too many states in the Three Realms.

And I heard that merits can be inherited and transferred, and this process also requires tax collection.

After all the calculations, the merits of the world may have been taken away by the Heavenly Court in the end.

Local taxes are collected by local governments. Over the years, when there are more local disasters, there will be fewer local disasters.

However, from a scientific point of view, this is reasonable, because if you want to charge more local taxes, you must first let local practitioners obtain more merits. To obtain merits, you must kill more demons and eliminate demons. If all the demons are eliminated, you will naturally be peaceful.

From this point of view, the effect of this merit is probably just a psychological effect.

The person who made this policy in Heaven is really a smart person.

However, Qi Wufei still hopes that the effect of merit is real, and he also hopes that he can accumulate some merit to resist the heavenly tribulation and repair his body.

He suddenly thought of a question: The heavenly tribulation is gone. How can I trigger the heavenly tribulation?

Do you want to shout "Yuan Henry Zhen" at yourself and bring a thunder to hit me?

No, no, if it comes to the Daoxian sword energy or something, the seventh-grade heavenly demon has no slag left, so I can't let it go, which is not as good as the third-grade body.

At this time, everyone had already arrived at the Merit Forest, and Qi Wufei was not inconvenient to ask more questions.

Merit Forest, also known as the Stele Forest, is located in the backyard of Chenghuang Temple and is usually an open attraction.

There are many stone tablets in the forest.

The stone tablet is engraved with the nearly thousand-year history of the City God Temple and the list of good people who have donated money to the City God Temple.

In addition, there are also ink treasures left by literati and poets of all generations in the City God Temple, which were carved on the monument and preserved.

There is a platform in the middle of the stele forest, and a stone tablet without words stands on the platform.

The explanation for this stele without words in the temple is that in addition to those with names and surnames, there are also those who donated money and those who worked hard to build the City God Temple but did not pay for their wages.

There are many people in this world who do good deeds without leaving their names, and there are also many ordinary people we are accustomed to silently contribute to the peace of the world, so they erect a monument without words to leave it to those good people who don’t know their names.

But everyone inside the City God Department knows that this monument is the real merit monument.

The Thousand-year City God Department, who have worked, struggled, and struggled here...even the achievements of those who died here are recorded on this wordless monument.

The surface of the stone tablet appears ink black, which has been touched by tourists without hesitation.

Qin Yubai led everyone to the Stele Forest, and the administrator of the Merit Forest had already come to greet him.

This administrator Qi Wufei has also seen it. He is named Niu Pang. He is the garden administrator of the City God Temple externally, and the director of the City God Department’s Merit Department. He has a high level and low power. The Merit Department is a clean yamen. He doesn’t have much work and has no money.

When Qi Wufei was hospitalized, Widow Wang talked to him about the City God Department, and talked about Niu Pang, asking him not to underestimate this person. He said that he was Director Qin's confidant, and Director Qin's trust in him was even greater than Director Gan and Judge Liu.

Because people often browse the stele in the stele forest, there is a strong fragrance of ink.

Qi Wufei always felt that there was another breath hidden under the fragrance of the ink.

Qin Yubai and Niu whispered in front of him, probably preparing for what they were doing.

Xin Huan smiled and said to Guo Shen: "This time, your Immortal Shield Detective has also gained a lot of merit."

Guo Shen said: "The seventh-grade heavenly demon appeared in Qilin Mountain, and our Immortal Shield Detective is responsible for being in absent-minded. I will not deny this."

Guo Shen said this, obviously he did not accept Xin Huan's affection.

Xin Huan also put away his smile and said, "This is something that no one expected. Why should General Guo mind? Although the Immortal Shield Bureau has the responsibility to supervise the immortals and demons in the three realms, the matter of eliminating demons is still the exclusive responsibility of our General Security Bureau! If you want to talk about responsibility, this time, our Monster Affairs Office has a greater responsibility. But today we are not here to hold the responsibility accountable. After all, killing the Heavenly Demons is more merit than demerit. Those who should be commended should be commended. We should give these younger generations more incentives!"

Tulaon said: "Yes, yes, this time killing the great demon will have a lot of merit!"

Among the people, Tulaun was the only one who was qualified to interfere when Xin Huan and Guo Shen were talking.

But Guo Shen seemed to be a little disgusted with the state government representative, snorted coldly, saying, "The heavens cannot claim to be the cause. The snake demon was killed by the heavens, and it was not yours. How much merit can he receive?"

Guo Shen’s words are not unreasonable.

The one who killed the snake was the sword flying from outside the sky, and in a sense, it was the sword coming from the west that saved everyone's lives.

Therefore, if you want to talk about merit, the merit of that sword is the greatest. Its merit is not only the merit of killing monsters, but also the merit of saving lives.

From Guo Shen's perspective, if it weren't for that sword, then under the circumstances, only he who arrived later could kill the snake demon, and that merit would be his.

It can be said that his merit was snatched by a sword in Tianwai that day.

Of course, he didn't care much about this merit. But when the snake demon died before he arrived, the Immortal Shield Detective became very passive.

The responsibility for failing to observe is inevitable. The key is that the flower-faced raccoon was killed, and there is one less clue to the bat demon.

Erlang Shen was furious when he learned about this. Guo Shen’s current mood can be imagined.

Xin Huan said: "We dare not compete with the heaven for merit, but it should be the hard work of the younger generations, so we still have to give it to them! Apart from the snake demon, didn't we kill the flower-faced raccoon? This is the top-notch achievement."

When Zhu Taichun heard this, he unconsciously straightened his chest, showing joy on his face, imagining how much merit he could get.

At this time, Qin Yubai had already discussed with Niu Pang, so he turned around and asked everyone to stand on both sides, headed by Xin Huan and Guo Shen.

Qin Yubai stood in the middle, and Niu Bang stood by with a notebook.

Qin Yubai knelt down at the stone tablet without words in the middle, performing the grand ceremony of three kneelings and nine kowtows, and muttering words.

In a moment, Qi Wufei saw a phantom slowly appearing in the stone tablet without words.

Qin Yubai shouted: "Immortal merit!"

The shadow of the stele slowly rises and emerges from the stele.
