Luo Qi watched Du Zhengyi take the ivory white beads from the monk's hand, and the wooden strings also had a weight in exchange for three hours of hard copying.

I don't know if it's because of this, Du Zhengyi fiddled with the beads for a while after taking them, and Luo Qi was a little bored waiting. After the monk handed them the string of beads, he went to receive other pilgrims. The release convoy that came in the morning had already left, and some people came one after another to burn incense and worship the Buddha. People come and go, and it has never been cut off, and the small temple is quite meteorological.

Du Zheng handed the beads to Luo Qi and whispered, "Look at the bottom bead on the bracelet." ”

"That's called a back fish." Luo Qi grabbed it hastily, with the eagerness that it was finally his turn to see, and unceremoniously opened the claws that Guan Xinyue wanted to grab, very protective of food.

"It doesn't matter what kind of fish you have." Du Zhengyi took Luo Qi's hand and turned over the slightly larger bead. The beads are inlaid with silver threads that twist and tangle into a familiar shape.

“8？” Guan Xinyue blurted out.

"It's not." Luo Qi frowned, "This bead is a back fish, is it up and down, left and right?" You don't know it, girl? ”

"You say it's an infinity symbol? Math symbols? Guan Xinyue was surprised, "Don't talk about it." ”

"Infinity, infinity." Roach pondered the beads, muttered in his mouth, rubbed his nose unconsciously, and rubbed his voice lower and more messy, "The Möbius ring without beginning and end." It is the past, the present and the future, time and space, the infinite power of the gods. This symbol is a mathematical symbol, but also a philosophical and theological symbol. ”

Guan Xinyue scoffed at Luo Qi's seriousness, but Du Zhengyi was stunned, as if something was slamming him behind his back. A thought, an unbelievable madness came to his lips, "I saw a mouse here the day before yesterday; Yesterday I saw a hyena here; I saw you here today. ”

Roach raised his dark eyes and stared at him thoughtfully, "Why did you change the rabbit and fox to rat and hyena?" It's quite dark humorous. ”

He stiffly turned his gaze to meet Roach's eyes. There was only infinite vitality in those eyes, with a joy that could make Guan Xinyue jealous, so happy that it was annoying, and it really matched his age and experience.

"I suddenly remembered where I had heard it." He said.

"That's right, it's a bit of a Möbius ring story." "But where have you heard of it?" That passage is from a novel, you shouldn't read it, right? ”

"Look at the lines again." Du Zhengyi dodged his question.

Roach had no choice but to raise the string of beads and look at it carefully, "This...... How do I feel...... It seems to be ......"

"It's a snake." Guan Xinyue said, "The head of the snake bit the tail of the snake and twisted it into the shape of an infinite symbol. ”

"How do you see such a small pattern?" Luo Qi asked puzzledly, but turned his head to see that Guan Xinyue was not looking at the bead string in his hand at all. She faced a small Buddha statue on the table in the side hall with a look of disgust.

Luo Qi was stunned, he believed that there must be no big black god statue in this world like here, with a snake wrapped around his feet, and the snake's head swallowed the snake's tail, inexplicably sneaky and evil.

He suddenly felt very annoyed, and the serpent was like a dead knot, and gradually surrounded him. What had happened to him in the past two days was all messy, and it seemed to have been premeditated. Even a few days earlier, things had already begun to become abnormal, and he was inexplicably selected to be Du Zhengyi's assistant with extremely low qualifications. They even promised him benefits, as long as he was willing to let himself get involved, he could get credits, it was simply his life, and he couldn't refuse it.

As a result, things were much more serious than he expected, and what was even more unfortunate was that he felt that Du Zhengyi seemed to be affected by something, and began to become reserved about him. Although he also has to admit that since he was in school, Du Zhengyi has never trusted him. He's not complaining, he's just going to be a matter of fact, and he can understand it. But now it seems that they have been implicated, and the best thing to do is to work together openly and honestly to get out of it all as soon as possible and get back on track.

He thought about it for a while if he really asked Du Zhengyi, first, what did Liu Li and Pei Shu explain to him before leaving, Liu Li said that the specific work content was mastered by Du Zhengyi; The second is whether we can share new information with him as soon as possible after collecting new information here, and don't engage in this kind of information asymmetry. Ouch, he really hates this guessing game, and it's not about falling in love. Slowly, he hasn't had a girlfriend until now, is it because he's not good at guessing?

Guan Xinyue suddenly kicked him.

"What?" Rocky said impatiently.

"The boss let me kick it." Guan Xinyue rolled his eyes. "What god are you going?"

Du Zhengyi ignored him, "I'll spend money to help others with a few wishes first, and try to see how fast you can accumulate virtue here." ”

Roach sighed, "It's weird to hear you say that. The speed of accumulating virtue, damn, always feels particularly unreligious. ”

Guan Xinyue said indifferently, "Keep pace with the times, engage in innovation and development, and the temple must also develop." Shaolin Temple is on the market! ”

Luo Qi had nothing to say, and watched Guan Xinyue go out after Du Zhengyi to the main hall. A gust of wind blew in outside the door, and the cold wind of early spring was biting, but it was also very refreshing. A few o'clock of morning snow fell from the eaves, causing Rocky to go out and stand in the courtyard for a while. A mass of sparrows quarreled noisily in the canopy next to the temple, and then flapped their wings and took off, and the quarrel was in the air. He looked up at the mountains behind the temple, where the trees were still asleep and the forests were dim and decaying.

He remembered that when he was about ten years old, there was a time when he seemed to be also in this season, and he and his parents had a rare vacation, and the whole family went to the mountains to play. The time was wrong, there was really nothing to see, and my mother complained a little.

He remembered it clearly now, his father, the mage who was also a little famous, quietly folded a fan with paper, and gently fanned it, and faint shapes began to appear in the disturbed air, the color became thicker, the outline was formed, and pieces of flying flowers were born out of the cold wind. He remembered that at first it was very shallow cherry blossoms, scattered across his mother's fingertips, then roses. The fan fanned faster and faster, and the shadow of the flower changed from a rose to a lily, and then to a large cluster of hydrangeas.

At that moment, flowers swirled in the quiet woodland, and he couldn't keep his mouth shut in surprise.

In the end, his dad gave him a cactus, and he remembered it clearly! Before the age of fifteen, his father was definitely the number one enemy in his life!

Since then, there have been so many things that don't go well for him that his father can't even count them.

And the biggest thing that didn't go well was that the flying flowers in the mountains and forests had become a peak that he could never surpass, his ability was a rare dwarf in the wizarding world, and frustration was everywhere, filling his life, and the noisy and chaotic human world almost became his haven from frustration. And now, with his hands in the pockets of his pants, he took a deep breath, and trouble was in plain sight. He stood in the world of men, and he stood in the world of mages. There was a genius young mage beside him, and a human with a middle and second disease, and the two of them were seriously calculating the speed of accumulating virtue together at the moment, and he felt that his world was in chaos.

He looked indoors, the curtain on the door had been rolled up, and in the midst of the fireworks, Du Zhengyi's slender back was very close to Guan Xinyue's thin and small back, and Guan Xinyue even held a pen to record on a piece of paper.

It stands to reason that the rate of return on religion should not be so clear-cut. Roach wandered aimlessly, calculating several religious stories he was familiar with, and no matter what faith they were, there was always a lot in common. Although the supreme goal of faith is not to overcome one's own suffering, there can be no believers without the prospect of return. Therefore, the threshold for seeking returns must be low, for example, you can accumulate return points by releasing snakes all over the mountains, which is reasonable. And there must be no quantitative standard for this return, for example, why the snake that released a mountain still failed to be promoted and made rich, it is because of the loss of heart in the previous life, and the blessing in the present life is not enough, and it may have to survive in the next life to get the reward. It's just that the past is slim, and the afterlife is vast, who can say clearly? But it doesn't matter, because it's ridiculous, that's why I believe it.

Roach vaguely pondered another paradox on the basis of the paradox, but a thought flashed through his mind.

He walked into the main hall of the small temple, Du Zhengyi was still paying for other people's wishes, one monk was in charge of collecting money, and another monk was carefully recording in a Lenovo notebook. Luo Qi absentmindedly thought that since he could use a notebook, why should the monk be obsessed with letting believers copy the scriptures with a brush, that is an obsession, or not.

Guan Xinyue looked back at him and said, "Look at how convenient the digital temple is now, and there is wireless Internet access." If you want to donate a mobile phone or something, place an order directly online - bell bell - willing to express to your home. By the way, do you know that you can buy Lu Han's signed photo on Taobao? The almighty Taobao god, there should be a Taobao god in this temple. ”

"What color have you gotten to the bead?" He asked.

"It's early." Guan Xinyue said listlessly, "I will only arrive at Nanmu color soon, and there seems to be a long way to go from the red sandalwood." ”

It happened that the monk took out a lacquer plate from the back, covered with yellow cloth, and asked for a string of nanmu beads. Roach laughed, "The quest NPC has come out with a reward. ”

Guan Xinyue couldn't help laughing, and seemed to be a little self-disgusted after laughing.

Du Zhengyi glanced at him inexplicably. Luo Qi grinned at Du Zhengyi, sometimes it was quite interesting to see his confused little appearance that he couldn't understand, "NPC is ......" His smile froze on the side of his mouth, Du Zhengyi looked at him suspiciously, he stared at the monk with a pair of deer eyes wide open, "Oh,." ”

Although the monk is quite cultivated, his eyebrows still jump a little.

Du Zhengyi didn't say anything, just looked at him inquiringly.

Luo Qi came back to his senses and tugged Du Zhengyi's arm.

They returned to the old house of the Guan family next door, and as soon as Luo Qi entered the house, he said angrily, "How fast you accumulate virtue, tell me quickly." ”

Guan Xinyue rolled her eyes, took out a notebook, and sighed, "It's as if I'm particularly lacking in morality." ”

Guan Xinyue handed the notebook to Luo Qi and explained, "This is the money spent. Let's pick these things that can be done with money first, but fortunately, the boss doesn't feel sorry for money, so the speed of accumulating virtue is quite fast. But you see, at the beginning, we spent 202 yuan to buy a signed photo, and when we changed the beads. Then I bought two mobile phones, one of which is still crazy, although the blood cost is also very high, relying on the merits of these two mobile phones to exchange beads four times. But then you see, we transferred 12,000 to a man for his son's tuition, and we only exchanged the beads once! We had to transfer money to a person who was waiting for money to see a doctor, 80,000 yuan, and accumulated a great virtue, this time changing the beads three times in a row, and the color changed to nanmu. But at this point, I don't think I can afford to spend money like this anymore, it's not an option. ”

After she finished speaking, she looked at Du Zhengyi, who nodded and added, "And there are many kinds of wishes, although it is relatively easy to satisfy the wishes that need money to solve, but this kind of wish appears randomly and is hard to find." ”

Luo Qi took the book and looked at the end from the beginning to the end, on the top of the seven feelings, the look on his face was a little unpredictable for a while, and he suddenly dropped the book.

"It's fucking funny!"

"What?" Guan Xinyue frowned and muttered.

Luo Qi ignored her, snatched the pen from her hand and listed a table in the notebook, and explained while scratching on the paper, "You see, it only cost 202 yuan at the beginning, and it was upgraded to one level. Then I bought two mobile phones, spent a total of about 14,000, and changed the beads four times. That is to say, it took about seven hundred dollars to change the first string of beads; Then I spent two thousand dollars and changed it for the second time; More than 4,000 yuan was exchanged for the third bead, and 7,000 yuan of merit was exchanged for the fourth bead. paid 12,000 tuition, and changed the beads once. Then saving someone's life is not a particularly huge merit, 80,000 yuan was only exchanged for beads three times, that cost about 18,000 for one time, 20,000 for the second time, and 34,000 for the third time. ”

"That's right, the more money you spend in the future, the slower you accumulate virtue." Guan Xinyue muttered. "Monks cheat people, isn't this the same as a casino to deceive people into throwing money."

Du Zhengyi grasped the point and said to Luo Qi, "If you want to get the purple sandalwood beads, you need to get five more colors of Buddha beads." ”

Luo Qi threw down his pen, "Then we need at least 460,000 yuan." ”

Du Zhengyi's face was a little uncomfortable, "You mean ......?"

"Guessed it, it's a deformed Fibonacci sequence." Roach said.

"Can you speak human words?" Guan Xinyue said.

"Oh, yes, you're an art student." Roach smiled.

"What do you mean?" Guan Xinyue's smell of gunpowder immediately stirred.

Roach looked at her cautiously and quickly said, "I mean, it's a game. Have you ever played the game? I haven't played complicated things, but I've always raised a daily farm, right? You're so smart that you've figured out that no matter what the game is, the rules are pretty much the same at the end of the day - gain experience, level up, and get higher privileges, right? ”

Guan Xinyue was stunned, and only after a while did she say disgustingly, "No...... Joke about the Buddha? ”

Luo Qi shook his head, "Isn't it ridiculous that you don't need to read Buddhist scriptures and participate in the Dharma, and you can attain the Tao just by releasing your life?" Now the method of further refinement of cultivation, the accumulation of good deeds and virtues are quantified by mathematics, which is very in line with the habits of modern human beings, and is completely an improved version of the modern Pure Land Buddhism. ”

Guan Xinyue's mouth widened, and she looked at Luo Qi in astonishment, "Oh my God, you really dare to say it." ”

Du Zhengyi has never played a game, but his comprehension is not slow, "The early investment is small, the effect is fast, although the income is becoming more and more difficult in the later stage, but because the difficulty is gradually increasing, the habit has been cultivated." If you are an ordinary person, you may come to the temple often, and you can start by accumulating a lot of merit and changing beads as much as you can, so that you can make a bigger wish. ”

"This is called playing experience, leveling up, and going to NPCs to exchange rewards." Roach concluded, "I guess the boss behind this game is definitely not too old, and I really want to meet it." ”

Guan Xinyue shuddered, and her face became gloomy.

Luo Qi caught a glimpse of her face and changed his words, "Upgrading honestly will definitely not work, all the wishes on the wall that need money add up, and it is not enough for four hundred and sixty thousand, right?" Then even if we have to spend money, after clearing this batch of wishes, we have to wait for an unknown number of days before we can accumulate the opportunity to spend money. It's a bit of a toss-up, and I can't afford to wait. Now the top priority is that we must find a task with a high level of tasks, a rich reward for experience, and the time consumption is as small as possible to do, and rush to the level. ”

"What? Are you going to help that old dick kill his wife? Guan Xinyue was surprised.

Roach sighed, "How can it be so easy to kill someone?" Besides, who am you and me? ”

Guan Xinyue muttered in a low voice, "It's better to make it clear first." ”

Luo Qi smiled dryly, "It's not unwillingness to fight violence with violence, but it can't." I can't do it anymore. ”

"Do you have an idea?" Du Zhengyi interrupted him in an unkind tone.

"I have some ideas." Luo Qi was shocked by Du Zhengyi, and immediately became a lot more serious. turned around, but found that Guan Xinyue, who was sitting opposite, was looking at the two of them thoughtfully. "How?"

Guan Xinyue didn't want to fight him again at this time, shook her head to avoid his gaze, lowered her head, and tucked the loose hair behind her ear, Luo Qi suddenly found a small ear bone nail on the tip of her ear, and the small jewelry on it shone slightly under the reflection of the light. Piercing in that position, Rocky always felt that it hurt to look at it.

He retracted his thoughts and turned his head to look at Du Zhengyi, "How capable are you?" Can mountains be moved and reclaimed? ”

Du Zhengyi ignored him.

Guan Xinyue burst out, "Impossible, that's too damaging to the ecological balance." ”

"You're destroying the ecological balance." Roach blurted out a retort, and after saying that, he felt that he was particularly naïve.

"Look, you said you're not a mage, but your position is still over there. I don't know what the hell you are? Guan Xinyue said sarcastically, and continued, "But you're right, we have been destroying the ecological balance and forcing the low-level species to continue to go extinct. So the reasoning from this is that if you were so far from our species, you would have forced us to extinct a long time ago. So, I just don't think you guys can be that awesome. ”

"Hey, that's a very good idea." Luo Qi said to Du Zhengyi, "Otherwise, let's roast her and eat her." ”

Guan Xinyue snorted, thought about it and continued, "Generally speaking, nature has its own reason. For example, rats are born eight times a year, one litter at a time. But in the upper echelons of the food chain, tigers and lions give birth to fewer and can't feed them, and humans have even more difficulty in giving birth, and it is difficult to give birth to two at a time. What about you? Roach, you don't have a sister, do you? Wait, I think about it now, you said your sister's name is Rodin, why don't you say your sister's name is Michelangelo? ”

Luo Qi laughed, "Eliminate your anger, eliminate your anger, don't you lie to me too." That's okay, even if the two of us tie that game. ”

"So how exactly are you going to play experience?" Guan Xinyue asked him.

"It's easy." "I've found that this game gives players a lot of leeway to play and not only do quests, but also act as NPCs to provide quests. That being the case, if there are no high-level tasks to do, just create them. ”
