Chapter 26: On Merit

"The rules in this are not ......"

Facing Zhang Jing's body temperature, Uncle Nine nodded and said.

The longer he contacted, the more satisfied he was with his nephew.

I don't know the rules of helping others catch ghosts and exorcise evil spirits, just follow my heart, I can face the money unswervingly, and even if others send the money to my hand, I can unswervingly return it.

This concentration and disposition are so rare.

Not to mention that he is just a young man, Xiuwei has just stepped into the realm of a second-rate warlock, even if many people of his generation have already stepped into the realm of 'teacher', it is difficult to do this.

For example, his junior brother, four-eyed......

It's true that everyone loves money, and there's nothing to avoid.

But a gentleman loves money and takes it in a good way.

This sentence is particularly important.

Uncle Nine began to explain the doorway to Zhang Jing: "Our Maoshan Taoist priests, catching ghosts and eliminating demons, in addition to sharpening ourselves and improving our cultivation, is actually to accumulate merit for the heavens! After all, we cultivators don't eat the fireworks of the world, but we also have to eat. Not to mention the yellow paper and cinnabar that we need to refine magic tools and carve talismans, the money we spend is not a small amount!"

"However, we must not open our mouths and take advantage of the opportunity to help people catch ghosts and eliminate demons in order to take advantage of the opportunity to make a lot of money! By doing so, we are not accumulating merit for the sake of heaven, but for our own selfish desires, greedy for glory and wealth! In this way, what is the difference between us and those who are sideways and have unscrupulous intentions?"

Zhang Jing nodded when he heard this.

And so it was.

It seems that although his merit system is a golden finger that comes out of thin air, I am afraid that there is also a deep meaning in it.

Uncle Nine continued: "Let's take your incident today. You follow your heart, take more than you want, only take what you think you should take, the extra eighty taels of silver, and you return all the money to Boss He. In this way, you have accumulated merit, and you will not have a karmic entanglement with Boss Naga because of the money you received, and what happens to him in the future has nothing to do with you. ”

"But if you don't return the eighty taels of silver, and take the obvious over, in a sense, the cause and effect between you and him will be deepened. You took so much money from him, if he is framed by the main messenger behind the scenes, you must protect him!"

Hearing this, Zhang Jing had a feeling of sudden enlightenment.

When he was in Lianxiang Building before, he didn't think of this floor.

If you take all the 100 taels of silver, it is obvious that you have taken more, then if Boss He is killed again in the future, he will not be able to think of it.

It's different now, if Boss He encounters trouble in the future and comes to the door, Zhang Jing can naturally help, and he won't delay receiving the payment.

If Boss He didn't come to the door, or it was inconvenient to help, there was no need to worry about anything, with a clear conscience!

Uncle Nine can see it thoroughly.

Uncle Jiu's handling of this matter also made Zhang Jing a little impressed.

Even if he knew that there was someone behind the ghost puppet who was manipulating, although Uncle Nine was very angry that there were scum in the cultivation world, he didn't just say that he would protect Boss He until the main messenger behind him was arrested!

Not to mention that as soon as the ghost puppet died, the clue was broken, and it was difficult for the so-called main messenger behind it to find out.

And they are not the bodyguards invited by Boss He, they have to protect him at all times.

They also have their own things to do, to cultivate.

If you meet it, you can help naturally.

If you can't meet it, you can't help it, and there's no way to do it.

You can't always take care of the injustices in the world.

Immortals can't do it!

If it was really because of Boss He's incident, he couldn't eat or sleep, and he was worried.

That's not a monastic, it's a Virgin!

I don't know what Zhang Jing was thinking, but Uncle Nine waited for a while, and added: "However, if we meet people who are rich and unkind, insidious and cunning, we can collect some more money." But remember, we can't just take the money we collect for ourselves, but we can give alms and give alms. ”

"I remembered. Zhang Jing nodded and asked curiously, "Uncle Shi, there is one thing I don't understand." What is the purpose of accumulating merit?"

Hearing this, Uncle Nine's face became slightly embarrassed for some reason.

But then he coughed and said flatly: "Merit, naturally, is useful. At the beginning of cultivation, merit may not be of any use, but the further you go in your cultivation, the more important the merit will become. Not to mention our cultivators, even ordinary people know the truth of accumulating yin virtue. Yin virtue, that is, merit. If you accumulate a lot of yin virtue, you can be reincarnated after death......"

Uncle Nine was still talking, but Zhang Jing already understood what he meant.

Obviously, it seems that it is not very clear what the role of Uncle Nine is in merit......

Ordinary people accumulate merit in order to have a good birth when they come.

Can this be the same as us cultivators?

It's two different things altogether!

The simplest truth is that in today's monastic world, there are many people who have improper intentions and who specialize in going the way of the sideways, not to mention accumulating merit, and even doing a lot of things that damage merit.

But don't they also live well, and even their cultivation is not low?

But Uncle Nine just loves face, even if he doesn't know what merit does now, he doesn't want to admit that he doesn't understand. And he wanted Zhang Jing to continue to accumulate merit in the future, so he had to talk nonsense left and right.

I thought so in my heart, but I couldn't show it on my face.

After Uncle Nine said a lot, he asked, "Do you understand?"

Zhang Jing nodded hurriedly and said, "I understand, in the future, I will remember the money that should not be charged, and I will not charge more." ”

Although I don't understand what merit really does for ordinary cultivators.

But for oneself, the role of merit is obvious.

It couldn't be clearer!

Merit is equal to cultivation!

Accumulating merit points is equivalent to improving one's cultivation.

It's a shortcut to getting stronger!

Therefore, without such painstaking persuasion from Uncle Jiu, Zhang Jing will strictly enforce it.

The two chatted for a while, and Zhang Jing was ready to say goodbye, so as not to disturb Uncle Jiu to taste the food they packed and brought back from Lianxiang Building.

Because of Uncle Jiu's eyes, he had inadvertently glanced at these bags of delicacies several times just now.

Zhang Jing just walked to the door, suddenly stopped and turned around.

Uncle Nine was about to unpack the food at this time, and when he saw this, he hurriedly put his hand back, looked like he was sitting upright, and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhang Jing asked, "Uncle Ren, tomorrow Master Ren invites you to drink foreign tea, can you bring me? I haven't drunk foreign tea for a long time, and I really want to drink it." ”

Uncle Nine nodded and said, "Yes." Tomorrow you will come with me. ”

"Thank you, uncle. Zhang Jing said with a smile.

After saying that, he finally turned around and left.

When leaving, he didn't forget to help Uncle Nine close the door so that he could enjoy the food with peace of mind.

Zhang Jing can see it now.

Although Uncle Jiu's mana is strong, he usually doesn't smile, giving people a sense of distance.

But in fact, you don't have to see Uncle Nine as too mysterious, or too deified!

After a long period of contact, you will find that aside from the identity of Maoshan Taoist, Uncle Nine is actually an ordinary little old man who is quite interesting......
