The golden light of merit is calculated and distributed by the Heavenly Dao. There are many ways to obtain the golden light of merit, and the calculation method is very complicated. The most well-known way to accumulate merit is to accumulate virtue and do good deeds.
However, Yingriyun's account can no longer be described simply by the four words "accumulating virtue and doing good deeds".
When fortune-telling, he punishes evil and encourages good, and when live-streaming the underworld, he encourages many people to abandon evil and do good. Basically, people who frequently surf the Internet have heard of the name of the account, and the video has been widely circulated. According to gossip, the crime rate has dropped significantly.
That is why there is so much golden light of merit on her body, so much that the two gods dare not look directly at her and even doubt their lives.
Why in the ordinary world, can we see a person who has so many merits? How did she get so many merits?
An Rugu felt that it was complicated to explain, and she only had a vague understanding of the Heavenly Dao's method of calculation. Plus, she didn't want to argue with two gods who had fallen into the evil way, so she spoke very casually.
Zhang Tianshi beside him lowered his head and held back his laughter: "Ah, yes, yes, that's right, it's about catching cheating. Catching cheating can gain a lot of merit."
Yinyuan Star Lord turned his head and looked at Dongming Star Lord next to him. When their eyes met, they were both somewhat confused.
Yin Yuan Xingjun thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure it out. He was very concerned in his heart, but he coughed and pretended not to care: "This so-called cheating... is it a very powerful evil demon?"
He said this, but in his heart he had already determined that cheating was a demon king-level evil. Otherwise, how could the heaven bestow so many merits?
Cheating, literally means going off track, seems to be no different from being obsessed.
When Zhang Tianshi saw that the two of them didn't even know they were cheating, he hissed, "Two Star Lords, you think too much. This cheating is not evil, it's nothing at all."
Yin Yuan Xingjun remained calm and asked calmly, "What is that?"
Zhang Tianshi stroked his beard and looked very reliable: "Modern society is monogamous, and it should be normal and harmonious, which means walking on the right track. When one party deviates from the track and establishes an intimate relationship with others, it is cheating."
A look of understanding flashed across Yinyuan Xingjun's eyes. It turned out that it was about dealing with the relationship between men and women.
After he understood, he waved his sleeves, and a strong anger appeared on his face: "What kind of merit can this kind of thing have?"
"How dare you humans fool the gods!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the light around him began to distort, and the stars on his clothes were gradually covered by black air. The wide sleeves of his robe condensed with white light, and it seemed that he was about to launch another attack.
Zhang Tianshi didn't dare to take the attack, secretly groaning in his heart. Seeing that the two seemed to be ignorant of worldly affairs, he rolled his eyes and hurriedly bowed and said, "Hidden Yuan Xingjun, don't be anxious, listen to me and tell you something."
"Now is a peaceful time, there are few evil spirits causing trouble, and there is no devil king descending to the world, so how can there be so many opportunities to eliminate demons? Punishing evil and promoting good in the world is a great merit."
"One of the most important things during the Taiping period is the relationship between men and women. For example, any topic related to men and women on the Internet is a traffic password."
"Catching cheating can help a victim at best, and it can spread positive energy and guide others to look at marriage relationships in the right light. If this isn't a good deed, what is it? We can't be overambitious when doing things, we must be down-to-earth."
Mr. Sun from the Special Management Bureau and his subordinates looked dazed. Somehow, they actually felt that what he said made some sense.
On second thought, that's not right. No matter how much merit you gain from catching someone cheating, it won't be that much, right?
Everyone's hearts were in a knot, and they looked intently at the two star gods on the stage, each holding their magic weapons tightly, ready to go.
Even if you are clearly no match for the gods, you still have to protect your companions.
However, under the gazes of everyone, Yinyuan Xingjun did not seem to have any intention of getting angry.
He paused slightly, the starlight condensed in his black sleeves gradually disappeared, the anger on his face gradually disappeared, and his voice was not as tense as before: "...Are you serious?"
Shit, Xingjun actually believed it!
Zhang Tianshi escaped death with a warm smile on his face: "How can I lie to you? If you don't believe me, you can ask her again, doesn't she catch the mistress during her live broadcast?"
Yinyuan Star Lord, Dongming Star Lord and others looked at An Rugu.
An Rugu: “…”
She could only nod slightly and evade the question, "I usually deal with issues concerning relationships between men and women."
What Zhang Tianshi said was not a lie. Nowadays, people attach great importance to marriage. Whether it is online or offline fortune-telling, marriage issues account for more than half of the questions.
Her eyes were black and white, like clear lake water, and she was very serious, and you could tell at a glance that she was not lying.
The lakes in the hearts of Yinyuan Star Lord and Dongming Star Lord were ripping.
This sounds like catching cheating is better than catching ghosts...
Is it really that they have never been to the human world and are out of touch with it?
The Lord of the Cave Star produced a white bottle of the same type as the one his followers used, and his eyes glanced vaguely at An Rugu.
They spent a lot of effort and spiritual energy to find believers, but in the end the faith and merit they earned were not as much as what this ordinary person earned by catching his cheating.
No matter how you look at it, it's a loss...
Compared to Yinyuan Star Lord, Dongming Star Lord was much kinder. He was puzzled, but he just spoke directly, his divine voice lingering in's ears: "What is wrong with this world? Why is the blessing of relieving misfortune not more useful than dealing with relationships between everyone and women?"
In his impression, blessing is obviously the right way to accumulate faith, so why is blessing not as useful as catching cheating?
Everyone: “…”
The people from the Special Management Bureau were speechless, not knowing how to explain, their eyes were wandering and they were in trouble.
When the two star gods saw that everyone lowered their heads and remained silent, their expressions became visibly worse, and they vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Are these people not lying to them?
In the awkward atmosphere, Zhang Tianshi stroked his gray beard and stepped forward: "In ancient times, pain-relieving drugs were rare and difficult to obtain. But now it is different. The most popular painkiller on the market takes effect in 15 minutes and lasts for 24 hours. You can buy it and take it anytime. Is it necessary to rely on faith in gods to obtain something that can be done with just money?"
Dongmingxingjun slowly put away the smile on his face. He remained silent, but his heart was moved.
If there is such a painkiller in the world, the painkillers they give to believers are really useless.
"Besides."
Zhang Tianshi turned his head and looked in the direction where the villagers had just fled. There was not even a shadow of a person there: "Do you think they really believe in you?"
"No, they are more likely to come here for the free gifts to liven up the atmosphere. In their eyes, the antidote is no different from free eggs and milk, except that the packaging and presentation method are more fancy."
"When something happens, they run faster than anyone else."
The two Star Lords: “…”
After Master Zhang said this, the memories that I had once ignored flashed back in my mind.
When they first came here, the villagers didn't believe it at all, until they took out the potion, they were very excited. Later, they sang and danced, more like to deal with them. It was not until the last "gift" that the place became particularly lively.
If I replace the potion with eggs and milk...will there be a difference?
Zhang Tianshi saw that the two star gods were silent for a long time, so he smiled and said, "In the final analysis, the times are progressing, and many people believe in gods for practical benefits. In ancient times, if you gave them a bowl of rice to eat, they would set up a longevity card for you. Now people don't have to worry about food and clothing, and material things are abundant, so they focus on spiritual needs."
"If the things you give can be replaced by ordinary things, why should others believe in you?"
His words were crude but his logic was sound, and the effect was deafening.
The expressions of the two star gods gradually became gloomy, as if dark clouds were hanging over their heads. It was obvious that they were in a very bad mood.
Although I don't want to believe it, what he said... does make sense.
In ancient times, except for the rich and powerful, most people were pale and thin, struggling on the poverty line. But nowadays, most people in the world have enough food and clothing, and the order is relatively complete, which is very different from ancient times.
Previous experience doesn't seem to work now...
Zhang Tianshi keenly sensed that they were slackening off, so he climbed up the pole and persuaded them: "New things are destined to replace old things. Since you want merit, you must keep pace with the times. If you don't know what to do, then learn from this young friend."
"Catching cheaters, catching bad guys, and mediating social relations are the right way to keep up with the times."
"Look, this golden light of merit is so dazzling!"
An Rugu: “…”
Others: “…”
Zhang Tianshi's encouragement, coupled with An Rugu's excellent example, made even the usually cold Yinyuan Star Lord, let alone Dongming Star Lord, a little loose.
Dongmingxingjun's gaze rested on An Rugu. After a long moment, he nodded and said with some certainty, "What you said makes sense."
"Maybe...we should really learn from her."
With a smile on his face, he tilted his head: "...How should we deal with this cheating matter and where should we go to deal with it? Can you teach us?"
Mr. Sun and the people from the Special Management Bureau: "..."
Good man, he was really fooled by Zhang Tianshi???
Mr. Sun turned his head and looked at Zhang Tianshi, his eyes full of doubt, as if he was meeting him for the first time. He had not spent much time with him, and in his impression he was always a calm and self-controlled mage. He did not expect that his eloquence was as strong as his magic power.
Zhang Tianshi was overjoyed when he saw that he had persuaded the two of them. He usually chatted with those game trolls on the Internet, and the skills he practiced were actually useful when facing gods.
However, he still pretended to be calm and answered the two Star Lords' questions: "I don't often catch cheating people, I don't know, you can just ask this young friend."
Dongmingxingjun nodded and waved his sleeves. Many white jade bottles of the same type as those of the villagers fell from the sky in front of An Rugu and floated in the air.
"This reward may not be enough... but this is all I have now. I will give you an equal reward in the future."
Zhang Tianshi said that the antidote was not worth much. If the other party was willing to teach them, the reward would definitely be more than that.
An Rugu: “…”
She looked at the bottle floating in front of her, and she didn't expect that she could also get this potion to cure her misfortune.
She was a little confused for a moment, not knowing whether to refuse or accept.
After thinking about it, she naturally couldn't refuse. Her strength had recently improved, but she might not be able to kill the gods. Especially with two people in front of her, if a conflict occurred, it might be dangerous.
And there are so many helpless villagers around.
She thought for a while, then took the potion and made a decision: "Spiritual energy is still very useful for my practice, thank you."
She accepted the task of teaching the two Star Lords to catch the cheating...
The two star gods flew down from the high platform and landed lightly on the ground, very close to An Rugu, ready to ask her for advice.
Zhang Tianshi was a little curious and couldn't help but ask, "Master Xingjun, haven't you fallen into the devil's way?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the faces of the two star gods changed suddenly.
The smile on Dongmingxingjun's face disappeared: "When did we fall into the devil's way?"
The area around Yin Yuan Xingjun was so cold that ice chips could be seen forming. He angrily shook his sleeves and said, "Stop spitting blood at me. How could we be related to the devil? If you become a devil, we will not be devils either. Watch your mouth! Otherwise, I will not give face to your ancestor."
Zhang Tianshi: “???”
Others: “???”
Zhang Tianshi was dumbfounded, as if he had thought of something, and immediately raised his hand and pointed in the direction of the Big Dipper in the north: "Your stars have clearly become darker, if not falling into the devil's way, what is it?"
In his impression, the darkening of the corresponding constellations means falling into evil, and the disappearance represents fall.
Hearing this, Lord Dongming raised his black sleeves to cover his face, his expression dark and unclear: "This... is difficult to explain. Anyway, you just need to know that we are not in the devil's way. The stars becoming dim is not the only possibility of falling into the devil's way."
Zhang Tianshi stared with his eyes wide open, unable to understand, but suddenly changed his mind. The world and heaven are like the Chu River and Han River, clearly separated, and what he got was very fragmented and not necessarily accurate.
It is very likely that the records in ancient books are not complete.
"Oh, that's really unfair to the two Star Lords."
Zhang Tianshi was very polite and bowed to the two of them. He patted his lips and said, "I thought you two had fallen into the devil's way before, so I spoke nonsense. I hope you two star masters will forgive me."
There are gods above our heads, and he has always respected gods. When he was traveling, if he came across a desolate and deserted temple, he would go in, sweep away the spider webs, clean the floor, and then burn three incense sticks to show his sincerity.
At that time, I thought that the two of you had fallen into evil ways and became enemies. Strategically, you should not underestimate the enemy, and you should despise the enemy in words. This is the only way to stabilize the morale of the army.
The good-tempered Dongmingxingjun smiled and nodded: "Ignorance is not a crime."
Yinyuan Xingjun didn't bother to pay attention to him and didn't even give him a glance.
Zhang Tianshi turned his head to look at the people from the Special Management Bureau, and looked at many people, with deep confusion in his eyes.
They had always thought that the two stars that had fallen into the devil's way were related to Youdu, but it turned out that the two did not fall into the devil's way, so what was it with Youdu...
Zhang Tianshi collected his thoughts and asked directly: "Two Star Lords, do you know Youdu?"
"Haha." Yinyuan Xingjun sneered: "Of course I know them. We came to the mortal world this time just for them."
Everyone: “!!!”
The two of them actually want to form an alliance with Youdu.
Zhang Tianshi took a deep breath and immediately advised: "That organization wants to disrupt the human world. It is a heinous crime. Since Xingjun is not possessed by the devil, he certainly does not want to see chaos in the human world. Don't fall into the quagmire."
Yin Yuan Xingjun glanced at him coldly and said, "Who said we want to join forces with them? We are here to wipe them out."
Mr. Sun stood there in a daze. These two stars not only did not fall into the devil's way, but were also friendly forces?
They actually wronged Youdu...
Because there are always deep thoughts there, and you have to think of the worst.
Mr. Sun just told those villagers who believed in pyramid schemes that there is no such thing as a free lunch, only traps.
As a result... pie actually fell from the sky.
Mr. Sun quickly asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Xing, what is going on?"
Dongmingxingjun looked gloomy and said unhappily: "Your organization called Youdu has set up a formation and wants to use our abilities to light a lamp for him."
Everyone: “?”
What lamp?
Fluorescent lamp? Starlight lamp? Incandescent lamp?
Seeing that everyone was puzzled, Dongmingxingjun immediately raised his head and looked at the starry sky: "There are no outsiders here. You should know what the Seven Star Lamp is."
It is said that when Zhuge Liang, the military strategist, was in the Northern Expedition, he lit the Seven-Star Lamp to prolong his life. If the main lamp did not go out within seven days, his life span would be extended by twelve years. Later, his subordinates came in quickly and the lamp went out. He sighed: Life and death are determined by fate and cannot be reversed.
For thousands of years, countless people who pursued immortality wanted to know the secret of the Seven Star Lamp, but all ended in failure, with one exception: Prime Minister Liu Ji.
It is said that he was luckier than Zhuge Liang and succeeded, thus gaining twelve years of life and helping the emperor to unify the country.
It is said that the seven-star lanterns should be placed according to the direction of the Big Dipper, and a prayer should be held for seven days and seven nights. The principle is to borrow longevity from the sky, or to be more specific, to borrow longevity from the Big Dipper.
Mr. Sun was a little confused: "I know about the Seven-Star Lamp for prolonging life, but I only heard that Liu Xiang had successfully lit it. However, I don't know whether the historical records are true or not, so it may not be successful."
He has always regarded the Seven-Star Life-Extending Lamp as something strange and bizarre.
"He succeeded." said Dongmingxingjun.
No one knows what happened better than the people involved.
Mr. Sun clapped his hands and exclaimed: "It is amazing that someone can accomplish such a thing that defies fate and changes destiny. It's a pity that I don't have the chance to see it."
Dongmingxingjun's face turned a little bad. If he wasn't so good-tempered, he would have even wanted to get angry on the spot: "It's nothing serious."
Mr. Sun thought of what Dongmingxingjun had just said, and subconsciously asked: "After investigation, it seems that the leader of Youdu is Liu Xiang's disciple. Could it be that he has learned the secret method and also wants to increase his lifespan by twelve years?"
Before Dongmingxingjun could answer, Yinyuanxingjun beside him said with a gloomy expression: "He wants more than just twelve years. He wants to devour the Big Dipper. I'm afraid he wants to become an immortal."
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone gasped, dumbfounded, unable to believe what they heard.
The leader no longer cultivates immortality, but instead sets up a formation to devour the stars and become an immortal?
It broke through their understanding of the power system.
Just like they were still fighting with guns, the leader simply took out an atomic bomb and fired it into the sky.
Mr. Sun couldn't believe it: "This is simply a fantasy! How could anyone do such a thing?"
Yin Yuan Xingjun's face was icy: "Human greed is like a snake swallowing an elephant."
Dongmingxingjun was a little regretful: "Such a brilliant person, his ability is not inferior to any talented person in the past and present, what a pity..."
Not on the right track.
Zhang Tianshi was in shock, even a little confused.
He thought that when these two star gods fell into the evil way, they spoke ill of them because they had already made up their minds to die and felt that man could not overcome nature.
When he reached old age, his cultivation had reached its peak, and he realized that it was impossible to become an immortal in the Dharma Ending Age. He became interested in games in his later years because he felt that his life was coming to an end.
As a result, there was a person who not only survived to this day, but also achieved immortality.
His vision seems to be still small.
Life goes on, so should cultivation.
Everyone was shocked when they learned this secret.
God knows what kind of chaos will be caused if the other party uses the heaven and earth as a formation and successfully lights the Seven Star Lamp of Life.
If he becomes an immortal, I'm afraid the world will be in chaos. If he doesn't become an immortal, the Big Dipper will also be severely damaged.
Within the Special Management Bureau and Xuanmen, a plan code-named Beidou mobilized countless personnel in a short period of time and was immediately implemented.
While the situation outside was very chaotic, An Rugu felt something was special here.
She and Zhang Tianshi brought the two star gods to the home of the first person with whom they were destined to meet.
The little zombie's eyes lit up instantly when he saw her. He dropped the electronic toy in his hand and hugged her thighs: "Sister, you finally finished your work."
"Miss me?"
The little zombie was about to speak, but then he stretched out his finger: "Not really, just a little bit. I'm old enough and very independent."
The female companion next to her wiped her face, not knowing what to say.
She sat on the sofa all day, her eyes fixed on the door from time to time. When she heard the door opening, she jumped down and ran to the door quickly... If this counts as not wanting, then it doesn't count.
The little zombie wanted to say something, but two men in black robes suddenly came in from behind.
She suddenly felt something was wrong with her body, as if she was being targeted by a villain in a cartoon.
When the taller man saw her, his expressionless face was almost frozen. He raised his sleeves and starlight condensed on his hands: "Little evil spirit, how dare you be so presumptuous?"
The nine stars of the Big Dipper naturally restrain evil creatures, and zombies are one of them.
An Rugu grabbed the trembling little zombie and took it to the back: "Xingjun, she is not evil."
The Cave Star Lord next to him immediately raised his hand to stop him: "Don't be impatient, this zombie doesn't seem to be an ordinary zombie."
Yinyuan Xingjun looked closely and saw that the zombie had lively eyes, moved, laughed and talked, and looked more like a human.
He simply withdrew his hand, somewhat surprised: "You actually raise zombies."
An Rugu's body was glowing with golden light of merit, and it was obvious that he came from a famous and upright family. Raising zombies was basically something that only evil people could do.
Zhang Tianshi knew this little zombie. He was the one who handed it to An Rugu himself. Seeing this, he immediately spoke up to smooth things over: "Xingjun, she can control herself. She is not an ordinary zombie."
"Besides, didn't I say before that we can't use the old generation's methods to look at modern society? What do we value now? Everyone is equal. As long as she doesn't hurt anyone, she's not much different from a normal person."
"You must keep pace with the times, so as not to be eliminated by society!"
Yinyuan Star Lord: “…”
It may feel a bit uncomfortable when new ideas suddenly flood into your mind, but if you think about it carefully, they make sense.
Yin Yuan Xingjun withdrew his hand and said simply: "Okay."
Dongmingxingjun smiled and said, "Please remind Yinyuan more often in the future. He always forgets."
Zhang Tianshi suddenly felt a heaviness on his shoulders and his heart was pounding.
He actually could guide the gods one day, and smoke came out of his ancestral graves.
An Rugu stroked the little zombie's furry hair to comfort him. Seeing that everyone was protecting him, the little zombie put away his fear, listened to An Rugu's words, and went to play on the sofa.
After the little zombie left, Yin Yuan Xingjun immediately asked, "Didn't you say that you would teach us how to catch cheating today?"
"etc."
An Rugu asked the person she had met before to borrow a computer, put it on the table in the living room, and opened the live broadcast software.
The two star gods sat beside her, one on the left and one on the right, like left and right guardians, with a mysterious and majestic aura.
This was her first time broadcasting live outside of her hometown, and there were apprentices around her.
An Rugu's eyes swept across the two star gods, and suddenly, his mind became clear, and he felt as if he had grasped the truth of the matter.
Someone had asked them why the stars had dimmed, but they hadn't said anything. Now that I think about it, it must have been something other than being possessed by a demon.
That was why the two of them were so anxious that they ran to the lower world and found a group of old men and women to develop believers, collect faith and merits, and save themselves.
The reason why the two did not say anything was probably because they did not want to expose their weaknesses.
An Rugu looked at the two of them and suddenly asked, "You don't belong to the Big Dipper, lighting the Seven Stars Lamp should not harm you, so why are you so anxious?"
Zhang Tianshi sat opposite, a little curious: "Master Xingjun, why don't you tell me? Anyway, our enemies are the same. When we find the news, we will act together."
The two Star Lords were a little embarrassed. After considering their words, they spoke slowly: "In fact, the nine stars of the Big Dipper are one."
"That's right, if we prosper together, we all prosper, and if we suffer together, we all suffer."
Zhang Tianshi was skeptical. This still couldn't explain why there were no problems with other stars but only with them.
He suddenly came up with a guess: "Are you equivalent to a company department, and the company's business suddenly suffered a setback, and then you were driven away?"
The two star gods looked away and remained silent.
They wanted to refute, but they didn't want to tell lies.
When Zhang Tianshi saw them like this, he took a breath.
The boss of the Big Dipper system is temporarily fine because of a problem with the Seven Star Lamp, but his subordinates will definitely be affected.
What should we do if the magic power is no longer able to maintain the operation of the Beidou system? First, lay off employees.
If they come down to earth and solve the problems, they can keep their jobs, otherwise they will definitely be unemployed.
It turns out that gods are also social animals...
Moreover, there are only two employees in a department, but there are seven bosses above them. There are more bosses than employees.
