The god smiled, and then began to explain:

"Fellow Daoists, merit is divided into humane merit, innate merit, and heavenly merit."

"Among them, humanitarian merit refers to helping all living beings survive calamities, but this calamity does not include the exhaustion of life expectancy and the five decays of heaven and man."

"If you save the creatures of heaven and man, not only will you not gain humanitarian merits, but you will be contaminated with red dust cause and effect, and the gains outweigh the losses."

"The story of the Buddha cutting meat and feeding the eagle has been passed down to the Three Realms, which is to survive the calamity for the pigeon, and also to survive the calamity for the eagle, because once the eagle eats the pigeon, the owner behind the pigeon must kill the eagle to avenge it."

"And the so-called congenital...."

....

Accompanied by the narration of the god Chenghuang.

Xuanqing gradually figured out the source of the three merits in this world.

Humanitarian merit: Helping all living beings to survive calamities, if the life span is exhausted, there is no merit, but it is contaminated with cause and effect.

Innate merit: Self-existence is a kind of merit, such as the existence of the sun, which will nourish all things, or the God of Haotian to rule the Three Realms, causing peace in the Three Realms.

As for the higher-level 'Heavenly Dao Merit', the City God said that he didn't know much about it, and maybe only those top bosses would know about it.

It is worth mentioning.

Anyone who has entered the Heavenly Court's immortal book will be issued a certain amount of innate merit according to their rank as a meritorious gift.

Of course, the City God God is a yin god subordinate to the underworld, but it is not distributed by the heavenly court, and it all depends on the extradition of the yin ghost reincarnation on weekdays to earn merit.

Meanwhile.

Xuanqing also understands why everyone has taken a fancy to the 'Taoist Immortal Official' since entering this game world.

It's all because Taoist immortal officials can not only get faith incense, but also participate in the affairs of the world and plan Taoist merits, and if they themselves are immortals, they can also get a piece of the innate merits of the heavenly court.

Gee~

The power of incense, humane merits, and innate merits, in addition to the mysterious heavenly merits, can be said to be all in one net.

It's no wonder that everyone values and envies the identity of this immortal official, with so many benefits, who can not envy it?

"Do you still have questions?" The god asked.

Xuanqing shook his head, "Lord Chenghuang, you have gathered a piece of the Netherworld and Rich Land, and after the poor road has been consolidated, you will go back to the world!" ”

"Good!"

The god nodded.

With a wave of his right hand, he surged again, condensing the netherworld qi on a small futon.

This time, the action is obviously not as big as last time.

The reason why he did this was because after having the incense in the Qi Gathering Bead, he had the hope of life, and he could even survive the death of the Golden Pool Elder.

Naturally, he was unwilling to recklessly mobilize the origin of the Netherlands as he did before.

......

....

Not to mention Xuanqing, who is consolidating his cultivation in the Netherworld.

Switch to Blackwind.

In the south of the town, there is a monk temple called Guanyin Zen Temple, which is mainly dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Now.

This Kannon Monastery is very lively.

Dozens of strong men carried a three-meter-tall statue of the god, blushing and thick-necked, into the main hall.

The image of this idol is a bald monk with bare arms, covered with a layer of gold dust and shining in the sun.

"Amitabha, donors slow down, if you bump into it, you will blame the old man for not paying you."

An old voice rang out.

I saw an old monk with white hair, wearing a gorgeous robe, holding a tin staff inlaid with precious stones, and looking very good.

The old monk Dharma name Jinchi is also the abbot of this Guanyin Monastery.

After hearing Elder Jinchi's voice, all the strong men showed uncomfortable looks on their faces.

However, since ancient times, those who have been 'porters' have no status, and although they are unhappy, they dare not show it.

"One-two~three, hey!"

With a strong and powerful trumpet, the statue of the bare-armed, bald-headed monk was placed on the altar.

"Finished~"

Everyone smiled.

This is not a good job, basically relying on overdrawing the body in exchange for payment, and maybe after the age of forty will die of illness.

But for these porters, if they don't do it, they may starve to death before they live to forty, and the key is to solve the current food and clothing first.

"Elder Jinchi, can you pay the little ones?"

The leading porter got up from the ground panting, trotted to Elder Jinchi's side, and asked expectantly.

Elder Jin Chi nodded, but instead of taking out the money immediately, he instructed a small novice beside him:

"Huiming, you go and check if the golden body of the Moko Venerable has been bumped and touched."

"Yes, Abbot!"

When the little novice came to the Buddha statue, he carefully inspected the base part, and after finding that there was no problem, he immediately gave his abbot a gesture that was okay.

See here.

Elder Jin Chi nodded in satisfaction.

Just as he was about to take out the money from his bosom and settle the wages for these porters.

Suddenly.

A mighty divine voice sounded in my head.

"Jin Chi, change the position of the golden body of the deity with the Muzha Lingtong next to the Bodhisattva."

Listen to the divine voice in your head.

Elder Jin Chi was stunned for a moment, then quickly knelt on the ground, kowtowed to the Buddha statue of Moko, and shouted loudly:

"Disciple respectfully obeys the decree of the Venerable Moko!"

After he stood up, he said to the porters who were resting by the eaves, "Ladies and gentlemen, you still need to reverse the order of the two golden Buddha statues. ”

As soon as this statement came out.

The porters looked at each other.

"Elder, you can't do this, let's all advance..."

"Amitabha, the purpose of repairing temples and raising gods is to accumulate merit, if you want to receive wages, you should finish the work first!"

Elder Jin Chi clasped his hands together with a compassionate expression on his face.

The porters in the monastery sighed, but they could only be helpless, who let them be low-status porters, and the old monk in front of them was the well-known Jinchi elder in the town.

....

The sky above the Kannon Temple.

A golden Buddha cloud floated, and on the cloud stood a bald-headed monk with bare arms.

If you look closely, you will find that the appearance of this bald monk is exactly the same as the statue of Moko Jiedi Buddha in the monastery below.

"This golden pool is not bad, but it can be cultivated well!" Moko's face was satisfied.

He was ordered by Guanyin Bodhisattva to send the 'Liberation Gate Requiem Card' to this golden pond to help him continue to develop and grow this Guanyin Temple, and strive to squeeze even the belief of the land god.

In fact.

For many years, Buddhism has been doing this, and the further you go to the far west, the more obvious this phenomenon becomes.

This way.

Seeing that in the Guanyin Temple, the position of his golden-bodied Buddha statue has been swapped with that annoying Muzha.

Moko revealed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

What he hates the most is the kind of Muzha, who doesn't have much ability, but because he is a bodhisattva sitting down and a boy near the water, he can't look down on them who do practical things outside.

I thought about it.

Moko's eyes rolled before the clouds left.

But he commanded the elder Jinchi in the monastery:

'Whoever comes to the Zen temple to burn incense, after worshipping the Bodhisattva, first bow to his golden body before bowing to Namuzha. ’
