921 What is merit

Jin Shengshui walked over and tried to pry the stone off with a knife.

But the stone didn't move.

He tapped it with the hilt of his knife again, and the stone wall sounded solid.

The old beggar sighed and said, "We have tried all these methods, but they are useless, they are useless."

I groaned, and then took out the jade dagger.

I placed the jade dagger inside the crack in the stone and slowly plunged into it.

In an instant, I felt a large amount of cultivation poured into my body along the jade dagger.

At that moment, I suddenly had a realization.

These cultivations are actually merits, fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

In other words, cultivators have cultivated and gained two things, one is strength, and the other is the fragment of the Heavenly Dao.

In the past, practitioners only focused on strength, thinking that when they were strong, they could do whatever they wanted, and they would not be disadvantaged.

As everyone knows, the fragments of the Heavenly Dao are really good things.

What is the origin of this jade dagger? It can actually absorb the fragments of the Heavenly Dao.

Then, I heard a thud.

Behind the wall, something forcibly pushed the jade dagger out.

But even so, I was able to absorb a huge amount of cultivation.

Combined with the part that was absorbed by the jade dagger, I am afraid that I have obtained a rather terrifying Heavenly Dao fragment.

When I took the jade dagger back, the wall in front of me became like papier-mâché and fragile.

I gave a gentle push with my hand, and the wall collapsed.

In the back, there is a small secret room, in which there are two scrawny imps.

The imp was cowering in the corner, looking at me with a look of horror.

I walked in and said coldly, "What kind of place is this?"

The little imp said with a bitter face, "This is the management room."

I frowned, "What's that?" Come, brother."

Jin Shengshui raised his hand and was about to hit someone, but these two little ghosts were particularly aware of current affairs, and immediately shouted: "Don't fight, don't fight, recruit, recruit."

"Don't beat us, we've run out of gas, and if we continue to fight, we may lose our souls at any time."

Jin Shengshui said with a smile, "That's it, I'll set a target for you."

"Whatever you ask later, you will answer."

"Positive, accurate, and detailed answers will give you extra points."

"Those who cover up, lie, or refuse to answer will be deducted points."

"And then according to the score."

"Those with high scores can survive, and those with low scores will be killed directly."

The two imps panicked and said nervously, "What if we all answered positively?"

Jin Shengshui said, "There is always something more positive, right?"

"I'm going to kill one person today anyway, you two roll up."

Imp: "......"

Jin Shengshui said, "Who are you two?"

The two imps scrambled and said, "We are the management, we are the management of the Ten Thousand Buddhas Temple."

Jin Shengshui laughed and said, "Isn't it strange?"

"Everyone is a ghost, why should we be in the eighteenth layer of hell, and you should be the management?"

The two imps looked at each other and seemed a little hesitant.

But the next second, they scrambled to say, "We are monks. Because we are monks."

It seems that the two imps don't believe each other, so they are afraid that the other party will preemptively say the answer.

They talked a lot, and in the end I understood it.

When the Temple of Ten Thousand Buddhas was first established, there was not only one enlightened monk here. This is a high-ranking monk, and there are a few monks around him.

These monks are the management.

They are responsible for collecting the merits of the imps in hell and then losing the merits to the enlightened monks.

I asked the two monks, "When did you die?"

The two of them said, "I don't remember exactly, I've been dead for a long time anyway."

"When we were alive, we were in charge of promoting the Ten Thousand Buddhas, and after we died, we joined the management and were responsible for transporting merits."

"One of the advantages of being a manager is that we don't need to take merit ourselves."

"And when we deliver merit, we can keep a part of it."

"At the beginning, the ancestor promised us that when our merits are complete, we can follow him to become immortals."

I said, "What about your ancestors?"

The two imps shook their heads, "I don't know."

I frowned, "I don't know?"

The two imps said in a panic, "Master, don't kill us, we really don't know."

I said, "Have your ancestors become immortals?"

The imp shook his head.

I looked at them suspiciously, "Didn't become an immortal? Are you so sure?"

The little ghost snorted, "Definitely not an immortal."

"Back then, the ancestor agreed with us that if we became immortals, he would take us to the fairyland."

"When one person attains the Tao, the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. But he didn't take us away."

Jin Shengshui laughed, "Aren't you two a little stupid? Still don't understand this?"

"Your ancestors have deceived you. He became an immortal and left, and he didn't care about you."

But the two little ghosts said with certainty, "No, our ancestor is not that kind of person."

Jin Shengshui rolled his eyes: "What nonsense? Can a pin boss be a good person?"

The little ghost said again, "The ancestor said that there will be a big movement when you become an immortal."

"First there were dark clouds, thunder, then winds, lightning and thunder, and finally auspicious clouds and the sun rose."

"But none of this vision appeared."

Jin Shengshui laughed and said, "It's not easy? Your master has changed his mind and made a fortune in a muffled voice."

The little ghost said with certainty, "No, that's how you become an immortal. Master can't quietly become an immortal."

These two imps are so sure, I think their judgment should be accurate.

Now it seems that the road to becoming an immortal may not be so easy.

So...... Where did their master go?

It can't be an old man outside.
