Chapter 163: Profiteers
"Senior Brother Bai, please take a seat!" The middle-aged Taoist priest smiled and pointed to the futon in front of him, got up and looked for it from the stack of books piled up next to him, and pulled out a black booklet, "Senior Uncle Liu has already sent a message yesterday, saying that you want to inquire about your merits, right?"
"Yes!" Bai Ya nodded in response, but asked with some confusion, "Senior Brother Wan, both the master and the senior brother have said to a certain person, great goodness is merit, and small goodness is also merit, and the merit book of the sect only records merit deeds, and does not quantify them, how do you calculate them?"
They are right that there is no great or small deed to do good, and merit should not be quantified by numbers. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info" The middle-aged Taoist priest was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.
"But regardless of the Xuandao cultivators, there are tens of thousands of martial disciples in Qingcheng, and there are thousands of martial arts disciples alone. If you don't quantify it, and give out rewards just by touching the upper and lower mouths of the teacher, some people will definitely feel that it is unfair......"
"That's true, but if you quantify the merits, there will inevitably be a lot of problems, right?" Bai Ya instinctively felt that something was wrong, the marketing work he did in his previous life, there would be problems in the performance review every year and quarter, and there were too many frauds.
"Haha, Senior Brother Bai is right, since you care about this matter, Poor Dao can help you solve your doubts. The middle-aged Taoist priest stroked his beard and said with a smile, "Qingcheng's merit system was gradually formed by the major immortal martial sects in Shenzhou, and it is already relatively perfect.
In the early days when the merit task had just been quantified, there were indeed many drawbacks, and there were even cases where martial arts families joined forces to cheat in order to brush up merit for their own children. This is also the main reason why there are always voices within the sect calling for the abolition of the quantification of merits. ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest paused, and then said, "But it can't be canceled completely, without a specific measurement standard, it can easily lead to favoritism and fraud, and make the grassroots martial disciples and disciples dissatisfied." Therefore, this merit system adopts a compromise approach. ”
"What kind of compromise?" asked Bai Ya curiously.
"There is a distinction between outer and inner disciples, and most of the outer disciples are difficult to determine their human nature, and many people will have selfish thoughts, so they will not quantify their merits. The distribution of resources is determined by the outer sect cultivation peak, and we are only responsible for monitoring whether there is any injustice. ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile, "Inner disciples generally have a fixed mind, and few people will not do anything because of goodness, fear danger and not drive, so their merits are quantified, and they are all supervised by the merit and law altar of the martial arts." ”
"That's all?" asked White Cliff with an eyebrow.
"No, that's just one aspect, on the other hand, there is a distinction between the quantification of meritorious tasks, the basic meritorious tasks are directly expressed by numbers, and other meritorious tasks that have a greater impact are also divided into grades. ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest's eyes flashed, and he said lightly, "The so-called basic merits generally have a very small scope of influence, such as refining weapons and alchemy, doing funeral rituals for the common people, chasing murderers and robbers, and so on.
These meritorious tasks can only affect individual people or individual families, so they can only be basic merits, and there can be specific merit data, and the value depends on the degree of danger. ”
"If the sphere of influence spreads to the scale of villages and towns, then it is no longer a basic type of merit, we call it a D-level merit, and we record specific deeds and make quantitative values according to the degree of danger and contribution of the event. ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile, "Based on this upward calculation, the events that affect the scale of the county government are Class C, the scale of cities and counties is Class B, and the scale of states is Class A." However, the same value among the four different grades does not mean that the merit is also ......"
"I see!" Bai Ya suddenly asked, sneering, "What about ...... What merits do you have so now?"
"You, I have picked it out of the book yesterday, the details are here, you can see for yourself!" The middle-aged Taoist priest patted the black book in his hand and threw it to Bai Ya.
Bai Ya opened the book, only to see that the first line of the booklet recorded his first meritorious mission in Qingcheng, which was the time when he exterminated zombies in Xiaole Town. This quest can be classified as a D-level merit, which is the village level, because the zombies have affected the livelihood of the entire town's residents.
This matter is only half of his merit, because the main force at that time was Xuan Ji, if he hadn't seen through the conspiracy of the zombie scholar during this period and killed Jing Nian with his own hands, I'm afraid he wouldn't have been able to get half of the merit.
Under Xiao Lezhen's incident, he recorded his deeds of discovering the Blood River in Ling Tian Pavilion, and this matter was both meritorious and punishable. He was punished in the face of the wall in Phoenix Ridge, but it was a credit to find out the disciples of the Demon Sect and make Emei soft.
It's just that this matter is a struggle between good and evil, and has nothing to do with the secular people, so the merit can only be calculated on the basis, and a thousand merits are calculated.
Below the matter of the Blood River Channel, there are two things: the arrest of Huazi and the escort of Zeng Xian. Because Hua Zi has been doing evil for many years, the crime involves a relatively large area, and Zeng Xian is a high-ranking official in a city, so they are all classified as D-level merits, and there are more than 300 merits in total.
Then, the next merit made Bai Ya cry and laugh a little, and it actually recorded the twenty basic merits of "adult marriage". is talking about the fact that he stigmatized his reputation in the Qu family and pushed down Qu Qiang's marriage.
However, there is no merit of Xu Xianling's task in this booklet, Bai Ya knows it in his heart, Liu Yu told him that "Xu Xianling's matter" is just a private matter of a senior in Qingduguan, and he will not calculate the merit for him.
Next, it was about him defeating the disciples of Hengshan Sun Yi and Bai Hong of the Bai family in Xiangyang, which was only a basic merit, only a hundred points.
In the follow-up process of this matter, Bai Ya also saw a merit. It was Ning Qingzhen Yinuo, who counted the merit of purifying the blood baby to him, and it was classified as a D-level merit, almost more than three hundred points, which shows the great harm of the original blood baby peach puppet.
The follow-up was the Pituozhou incident, where two merits were recorded. One stroke is imaginary, and it has not yet been implemented, which is the matter of leading Meng Chong to get started. This was originally given to Meng Tian and Ma Ying by Bai Ya as a favor, but the two insisted on not wanting it, so they returned it.
If Meng Chong can successfully enter after three years, as a guide, he will have 500 more basic merits, which shows the importance that the sect attaches to outstanding disciples.
The other is to exterminate the Danglu Gang and subvert the merits of the Six Extremes Daoist Scholar Boy's plot against the Hunting Heaven Gate. This matter is a big deal, because the Danglu Gang is quite harmful on both sides of the river, so it is classified as a county-level incident and belongs to the C-level merit.
In addition, the plot of the Six Extremes Dao is very big, so even if Meng Tian and Ma Ying share part of the credit for this matter, there are also thousands of merits, which are even worse than the one in the Blood River Channel.
In the end, he went to Huashan this time to discuss the sword, as well as handed over the merits of the master's magic weapons, pills and cheats.
Huashan on the sword rookie list, Wu Xun spread widely throughout China, won fame for Qingcheng, and was recorded a C-level merit of 2,000 points.
Surrender the pseudo-infant elixir pill prescription with 500 D-level merits; hand over the six-pole Dao mystic weapon "Teng Snake Heavenly Book Rubbing" with 2,500 C-level merits; hand over the punishment and evil powder prescription with 300 basic merits; hand over the congenital-level martial arts secret book "Qingying Sword Sutra" with 1,000 C-level merits; and hand over the beast control technique "Golden Cicada Secret Technique" with 1,500 C-level merits......
Bai Ya did the math in his heart and found that he did not count the merits of Meng Chong now, with a total of 8,000 points for grade C, more than 1,200 points for grade D, and more than 1,400 points for basic merits, totaling more than 10,600 points.
"That's so much!" Bai Ya was pleasantly surprised, and hurriedly asked, "Senior Brother Wan, how do you calculate the high-level merits when they are converted into low-level ones?"
"The values are all the same, but some exercises, cheats, and heavenly treasures have level requirements for merit. The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile, "For example, the Purple Qi Immortal Zhi Pill must be exchanged for merits of grade C or above, and the Divine Soul Incense can only be exchanged for merits of grade D or above, etc., high can be exchanged for low, but low for high is not." ”
"That's ......" Bai Ya couldn't help touching his chin, and then pointed to a line of words in the black book and asked, "Why is there only 1,000 merits in the "Qingying Sword Sutra" handed in, and 1,500 in the "Golden Cicada Secret Technique"?
"Make no mistake, the exercise cheats and mysteries you handed in are all merits distributed according to the needs of the sect. "Qingying Sword Sutra" belongs to the innate sword technique, which is indeed very good, so it gives a thousand points of C-level merit. ”
The middle-aged Taoist priest said with a smile, "But don't forget that the 'Qing Ying Sword Sutra' is only summarized by an innate beginner-level martial artist, and there are no follow-up exercises." Qingcheng swordsmen can only use it for reference at most, and no one will use it for major cultivation, so the value is poor.
But the "Golden Cicada Secret Technique" is different, its existence can allow the fellow Daoists of the Imperial Beast Pavilion to domesticate the golden cicada of the Ten Thousand Poison Valley, so that all Qingcheng disciples will have one more heterogeneous protector to choose from in the future, and this value is naturally much higher than an innate sword scripture. ”
"Oh!" Bai Ya listened with some regret, frowned and asked, "Then can you take the 'Qingying Sword Sutra' back?"
A copy of the Innate Sword Sutra is definitely robbed by someone on the rivers and lakes, and it is considered a big fortune for him to put on his body, so it is better not to hand it in.
"Yes, yes!" the middle-aged Taoist priest asked with a smirk, "But aren't you going to ask Elder Taishang for Drought Essence Blood?"
"How much merit does it take to have a dry blood?" Bai Ya muttered a little uneasily.
"If Elder Taishang agrees to help you, judging from past examples, no matter the level of merit, five thousand points are indispensable!" the middle-aged Taoist priest picked up the tea bowl and took a sip slowly.
"Five thousand merits?!" Bai Ya glared at the bull's eye and gasped.
The Teng Snake Heavenly Book rubbings of the Six Extremes Dao are a mysterious weapon, but they only gave him 2,500 points of C-grade merit, and the blood of the Drought Devil who was promoted to the silver corpse actually had to go away by 5,000 points...... It's almost two low-grade mysterious weapons!
"Well, this is not counting the other auxiliary elixirs that were fed to your bronze corpse, as well as renting the Immortal Demon Realm to warm up and promote the bronze corpse, if you count them all, there should not be much left of the more than 10,600 merits on your body!"
"After all, it's a silver corpse that can resist the situation!"
"Profiteer......" Bai Ya grinded his teeth a little angrily.
