Taihua Mountain, the golden top of Yuxu Peak.

Everywhere is covered with silver makeup, the mountain peaks are roaring, the sea of clouds is churning, and a three-legged golden tripod can be faintly seen.

Call!

At this moment, the sea of clouds suddenly rose, and I saw a purple dot of light rising from below, passing through the air of the sea of clouds, rolling up the sky with wind and snow, and landing on the top of the golden dome.

When the brilliance dissipated, a handsome young man wearing a Taoist robe appeared.

It was Zhou Heng.

"Senior brother, congratulations on stepping on the Secret Six Pins. Yan Shouyi walked over and laughed loudly, "True Qi refining form, flying from the ground to the sky, if it was placed in ancient times, it could also get the reputation of 'Flying Immortal'." ”

"It's just a new congenital, how can it be called a 'fairy'. Zhou Heng shook his head and said with a wry smile: "Senior brother, in fact, I went back to the mountain this time to inquire about something. ”

"I just said I feel like you're in doubt. Yan Shou smiled, walked to the stone table on the edge of the cliff, flicked his fingers, two cups of tea appeared on the table out of thin air, sat down and said, "Come, let's talk about it." ”

"Hmm. Zhou Heng followed, sat opposite Yan Shou, and said in a deep voice: "Senior brother, what is 'merit'?"

"Merit?" Yan Shou was slightly stunned when he heard this, and then smiled: "Senior brother is going to collect merit qi?"

"That's right. Zhou Heng bowed his head and did not hide it, and said, "It is needed to cultivate the Dao Law." ”

"I see. Yan Shouyi did not continue to inquire deeply, and said with a smile: "Sincerity is meritorious, perfection is virtue, sincerity and goodness are meritorious, this is a general explanation of Buddhism."

However, if we talk about martial arts, merit is explained separately, the Buddha talks about cause and effect, and the Tao talks about bearing, although the meaning is different, but in fact, they all say that their own actions will bring all kinds of retribution from heaven and earth, and merit is one of the retribution. ”

"I once heard that 'heaven and earth are unkind, and all things are used as dogs', why is there retribution?" Zhou Heng wondered, if heaven and earth are affectionate, then there must be selfishness, and the rules of the world will be chaotic.

"Heaven and earth are not benevolent, and all things are used as dogs......" Yan Shou muttered in one mouth, chewed this sentence carefully, and applauded, "Good description, good meaning, junior brother should write down this sentence." ”

"No, no, no, senior brother, this is what I heard from the sages. Zhou Heng waved his hand again and again, shaking his head to explain.

He didn't dare to plagiarize this sentence, he didn't dare to cover the sky, the Taishang bull riding picture is still in the Qiankun bag, although the effect is unknown, but it is still cautious.

"This is a great sage. Yan Shou was full of praise, and only after a while did he continue: "Senior brother, you are right, heaven and earth are unkind, ruthless and selfless, but it does not mean that there will be no retribution, because it is part of the laws of nature.

"Everything in the world is mutually reinforcing, there is no such thing as not affecting each other, and the action of any thing will inevitably affect other things, just as when you walk and step on the ground, the ground will support you. ”

"Is the effect of force mutual?" Zhou Heng secretly said in his heart, already somewhat enlightened, and said, "Senior Brother means that merit retribution is actually the natural feedback of heaven and earth on a certain behavior?"

"That's right. Yan Shouyi bowed his head slightly, very pleased, and said with a smile: "The more your actions conform to the current rules and conditions of the operation of heaven and earth or the closer you are to a certain great avenue law, the easier it is to get feedback from heaven and earth, and this feedback includes merit.

"To a certain extent, this process of approaching the Dharma of the Great Dao is very similar to that of the Absolute Four Qualities Induction Dao approaching the Great Dao, so the Great Grandmaster's breakthrough to the Heavenly Beings is sometimes referred to as 'Consummation of Merit'.

"For example, in our world of heaven and earth, the current trend of operation is to resist evil demons, slay evil and eliminate demons, and when you kill monsters, evil things, and ghost things, you are actually accumulating merit. ”

"But I've killed a lot of ghosts, evil things, and monsters. Zhou Heng frowned and said, "Why didn't you condense the qi of success and virtue?"

"Because you're too small right now. Yan Shouyi shook his head slightly and said, "For the world of heaven and earth, your strength is insignificant, and the evil demons you kill are too weak and not enough to cause the merit feedback of heaven and earth.

"It's like an ordinary person punching a mountain peak, and only feel a slight pain, and not be crushed into powder by the mountain, right? ”

"Hmm...... That's the truth. Zhou Heng nodded, but he was still a little puzzled, and said, "But senior brother, I don't seem to have felt even a slight pain." ”

"Senior brother, what do you think is the good deeds of the Zhou Tian Patrol Division?" Yan Shouyi said with a smile: "Is it just a trading tool designed out of thin air?"

"......" Zhou Heng was awakened by this sentence, and suddenly realized a lot, and said happily: "I see, good deeds are actually extremely subtle merit feedback, no wonder there will be good deeds when killing evil devils." ”

"Exactly. Yan Shou nodded and smiled.

"If I accumulate enough good deeds, is there a way to aggregate the virtues of success?" Zhou Heng suddenly thought.

"It's a no-no. Yan Shou smiled and said, "Although good deeds are subtle feedback of merits, the two are essentially different.

"The idea that you want to aggregate good deeds and successful virtues is like ordinary people who want to gather the feedback of these 10,000 times after pushing a mountain 10,000 times, which is obviously not allowable. ”

"Then if you kill the evil devil of the middle third grade, you can reap the merits?" Zhou Heng guessed again, he thought that according to the rules of the Zhou Tian Star Chart, the good merit obtained by the martial artist of the middle third rank for killing the evil devil was very low.

This is inconsistent with the laws of heaven and earth.

Perhaps it is because at this level, it can already affect the operation of the law of heaven and earth to a certain extent, and the evil demons of the three grades in the killing will directly obtain merit, and the good deeds are the remaining leftovers, so naturally there will be less.

And the powerhouse of the middle and third grades kills the evil demons of the lower three grades, just like ordinary people to crush a clod of soil, it is effortless, and the feedback obtained will naturally be infinitely reduced.

"That's right, but now the secret sixth grade is not good, and you have to go to the fifth grade of the sect. "Keep the talk.

"Now?" Zhou Heng found a problem.

"Yes, now, because the laws of heaven and earth are subject to change. Yan Shouyi sighed softly and said, "Maybe in a few years, you will be able to gain merit by killing the Secret Six Pins." ”

"......" Zhou Heng was silent when he heard this.

He has already understood the meaning of keeping one, and the lower threshold for attaining merit means that the crisis in this heaven and earth world is aggravated, and the laws of operation have changed, and it will be easy to get feedback.

"Senior brother, for you now, the evil devil of the fifth grade of the sect is still too dangerous. Yan Shou changed the topic and said with a smile: "I just thought of a good way to collect merit qi. ”

- Ghosts may be promoted to ghosts and immortals when they reach the fifth rank of the sect, and evil things may be promoted to evil spirits when they reach the fifth rank of the sect, and the danger will be greatly increased.

"What's the way?" Zhou Heng said curiously.
