In autumn, there are more fallen leaves in the stele forest.

The chief of merit, Niu Pang, was bending over and sweeping on the ground.

Qi Hufei naturally went to the corner and found another broom and helped Niu Pang sweep it together.

In fact, for a cultivation realm like theirs, it would be easy to sweep the ground here. But none of them used mana, except for the unwritten rule that no spells were allowed to be used in the stele forest, sweeping the floor was also a kind of practice.

The red, red, yellow and yellow leaves fall from the trees, as if the most beautiful things in the world always have a moment of irretrievability, but the human heart always can't let go, even if it falls to the ground and withers, it still flies with the autumn wind, in vain to find the color of the past and the life that is gradually lost.

It wasn't the leaves that danced in the wind, it was the demons in the heart.

As the broom sweeps the fallen leaves into the dustpan one by one, it is like cleaning up the thoughts in people's hearts little by little, and the demons in the heart are also swept away little by little.

Niu Pang said, "Look at this place, it will never be clean." ”

Qi Feifei said: "Because there are always leaves growing on the trees. ”

"But if it doesn't grow, the tree will die."

"A tree cannot be without leaves, but it can be without wind."

"If there is no wind, the leaves will fall."

"Let it fall, the old will not go, and the new will not be born."

"New leaves year after year, autumn wind year after year, endless, when will it end?"

"Generate and change, and the Heavenly Dao cycle."

"What is the Tao?"

"One yin and one yang is the Tao."

"What is God?"

"Yin and yang are unpredictable."

"What is an immortal?"

"Those who are gods from humans are immortals."

"What is true?"

"Retreat two to one, but there is still nothing, it is true."

"What is sacred?"

Qi Hufei looked up at the sky, his eyes showed a trace of confusion, and suddenly smiled again, lowered his head and swept the last pile of fallen leaves on the ground into the trash can, and put down the broom.

He didn't answer again, and Niu Pang didn't ask again.

At this time, Qin Yubai and Chen Guanghua had already brought everyone over.

Qi Hufei also walked into the crowd and stood in his place.

Xie Bi'an looked at him and smiled: "I couldn't find you just now, it turned out that a person came over first, and I know that your merits this time will not be less, so you don't need to be in such a hurry, right?" ”

Qi Hufei said: "I'm afraid that I'll vomit like last time, so come here and adapt to it." ”

Some of the new colleagues didn't know the story of him vomiting in the stele forest, and when they quietly asked, someone said about the past, and people who had not heard of it laughed.

The procedure for receiving merit was the same as last time, and it was still presided over by Qin Yubai.

He knelt down in front of the wordless stele, performed three kneels and nine bows, and recited words in his mouth, and the wordless stele turned into a phantom and slowly rose, floating into the air.

Everyone followed Qin Yubai and shouted, "Immeasurable merit!" ”。

In his consciousness, he suddenly saw the shadow of the stele in the sky emitting a thousand feet of light, and the heavens and the earth were also darkened. A powerful mana isolated the divine consciousness and spiritual power, enveloping the entire stele forest, forming a mana barrier.

Qi Feifei didn't bring a mirror this time. The mirror would absorb all his merits, and he didn't want to evade taxes again in plain sight.

After Qin Yubai stood up, he slowly walked to the stone tablet, holding the sky with one hand, and the shadow of the tablet that shone in the void slowly shrank and fell in his palm.

Niu Pang on the side took out a merit book and a pen and read people's names aloud.

The person whose name he called walked up to Qin Yubai, knelt down and recited "Immeasurable Merit", and was covered by a virtual light on the merit tablet.

Niu Pang took a pen and wrote on the notebook in his hand, and then announced the merit points that this person had received.

In fact, it is not far from the last time they entered the merit forest, so the number of merits obtained by most people is very small, only those who have participated in the recent operation of Mofu and the West Sea have obtained a relatively high number of merits, especially the few who survived the operation of the West Sea.

This is also expected by people, and everyone is most concerned about Qi Hufei's merits.

Because he not only participated in the First Battle of Mofu and the Xihai Operation, but also participated in the battles of Si'anli and Qijiaoze. Judging from the final results, Zhao Chun, Jiu Ye and Bat Demon all belong to Qi Hufei's sword.

Among them, Zhao Chun was beheaded to death by Qi Hufei with three swords, there is no doubt about it. And how the Ninth Master and the Bat Demon died, it is still unclear. Especially the bat demon, the technical department of the City God Division was unable to identify the true cause of its death, and after sending it to the higher-level appraisal agency, it has not yet given a clear explanation.

People are curious to know how much merit Qi Hufei has gained.

From the number of merits he obtained, it can also be roughly deduced how much strength he contributed and how much credit he took in the death of the Ninth Master and the Bat Demon.

Qi Feifei wasn't quite sure how much merit he still had. In front of the remnant monument in Lingxi Town before, he had already taken away more than 200,000 yuan, and from the feeling of the body, there were probably about 20,000 left.

He hoped that the feeling would not be skewed.

If the number of merits is too large, it is too shocking, and it is easy to arouse the jealousy of others, and it will also attract the attention of the above.

The most important thing is that there is a tax to receive merit here. The tax of heaven and earth is 1 percent each, adding up to 2 percent, which does not sound like a big deal, but if the base is large, it is actually quite a lot.

If the 200,000 merits you have received before are taxed, it is 4,000 merits. Thinking about the fact that Zhu Taichun killed the flower-faced civet and gained more than 600 merits, he was already ecstatic. 4,000 points of merit, how long does it take ordinary people to accumulate!

When the golden light emitted by the merit tablet in Qin Yubai's hand shone on him, Qi Yufei felt a little apprehensive in his heart.

Fortunately, this time the ceremony ended quickly, and Niu Pang announced:

"Qi Hufei, add 13,572 points of merit."

Call......

Qi Hufei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

This merit did not exceed his expectations, and was even a little lower.

However, in the eyes of others, this number is already very high.

Most people have never seen anyone receive more than 10,000 merits at a time.

Of course, compared to killing the Bat Demon and the Ninth Master, this amount of merit is too little.

People finally believed that Qi Hufei had indeed played an important role in the recent series of events, but the deaths of the Ninth Master and the Bat Demon had little to do with him.

There was applause at the scene, and everyone came to congratulate them. In the congratulatory voice, there are sincere and hypocritical.

Liu Yu's mood was extremely complicated.

On the one hand, he was a little jealous, compared to Qi Hufei, his more than 1,000 merits were simply not worth mentioning. He had fought with Qi Hufei, at that time, Qi Hufei had beaten him by half a move, although he still hadn't figured out how that invisible sword qi came out, but in terms of winning or losing, he was not unconvinced. He didn't know that Qi Jufei had improved so much in a short period of time since then, but he just felt that this kid's luck was too good, and it was his turn to do any good thing.

On the other hand, he was a little lucky. Although the merit of more than 10,000 is very high, it has not yet reached the earth-shattering level. Originally, he was worried that if Qi Jufei really took a merit of 180,000 yuan to prove his merits, then he would really be the director, and even Chen Guanghua would not be able to suppress him.

Qi Hufei didn't care what others were thinking, what he cared about at the moment was the line of numbers in his divine consciousness, which had changed from 40699/225700 before to 40699/239000.

Niu Pang said that he had gained 13,572 points of merit, but in fact it only increased by 13,300 points, that is, he paid 272 points in taxes.

Ma Dan, this is the end of the deduction?

Don't even prompt a hint!

Do you have an invoice?
