After going out to do a big job, the next step is to divide the money on the big scale.
The Nine Mountains heroes who returned to the mountain were seated in a clear order. They were all sitting in the Heavenly Palace Island hall, looking at the center of the hall.
The most eye-catching thing is the rock that Senior Sister Zhang brought back. The black rock stands on the ground and is covered with sword marks, which seems to be telling something.
Next to the rock, there is a desk where Zheng Fa usually works. There are five things on the desk -
Yellow-Skinned Gourd, and one Jade Slip, this is the income from the Water Mansion.
There are also three storage bags, one of which is still stained with blood.
These are the three blind Nascent Soul...
Two of them knew what was going on and handed over the treasures they had on their bodies. Senior Sister Zhang and the others were no longer in trouble... It wasn't that they were soft-hearted, the main reason was that Wood Daoist ran very fast and there was no use in silence.
But the last one is actually Great Freedom Demon Cult... This is Nine Mountains Sect's former mistress.
Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.
Senior Sister Zhang They acted cruelly.
Added up, there are three more storage bags.
As for the collected building materials and the like, they are not valuable and are naturally not included in the distribution.
The eyes of everyone in the hall fell on Zheng Dharma Body, with different expressions, but they were all waiting for Zheng Fa to speak.
Xiao Yuying was sitting on the left side of Zheng Fa. He couldn't help but think of the scene where Madam Xuanhua was chatting with her before:
"The most difficult thing about this archaeological project is actually the distribution of treasures." Madam Xuanhua said to Xiao Yuying, "If you are not careful, resentment will rise up and down, and people will be separated."
At that time, Xiao Yuying didn't say anything, but he actually quite agreed with it.
Madam Xuanhua said again:
"I have also met many... monks who entered Secret Realm together."
"In my opinion, those who can cooperate for a long time are either father and son, who are both prosperous and devastated, or masters and apprentices, masters and servants, with clearly defined strengths and weaknesses..."
"The rest have fallen out."
Xiao Yuying can understand this even more clearly:
Father and son, husband and wife, have relative trust in each other. Often, what is yours is mine, and what is mine is yours. It is enough for everyone to distribute the spoils and get what they need.
Master and disciple, master and servant, generally speaking, the strong one takes the big head, and the weak one takes the small head. Of course, the weak one has no Qi Ingestion in his heart--but you are weak!
But switching to the Nine Mountains Realm is not that simple:
One is that she is an outsider.
One is that there are relatively many people participating, and how to divide them is a science.
Of course, Zheng Fa's current position in the Nine Mountains Realm's position is not impossible... but people's hearts are hard to say.
"It is said that we can only share hardships but not joys." Madam Xuanhua's last sentence impressed Xiao Yuying deeply, "Sharing hardships naturally means that everyone suffers. It doesn't matter whether it is fair or unfair. We share joys and sorrows. If you want to be fair... it is difficult!"
Xiao Yuying came back to his senses and looked at Zheng Fa with a curious look: How does Zheng Fa Association distribute these things?
Of course Zheng Fa knows what everyone is waiting for.
He thought for a moment and took out a pamphlet.
Everyone can see that there are seven characters <Loot Distribution Principles> written on the cover of the album.
The hall was speechless for a moment, and everyone felt like they were used to it...
"This distribution principle was discussed and determined by Senior Sister Zhang and I. Of course, it may not be perfect... If you have any opinions, you can put them forward on the spot."
He said to everyone.
Xiao Yuying suddenly understood what Zheng Fa was thinking:
It's still the old way – let the system speak for itself.
If the system is not perfect, it can be improved after considering the opinions of all parties.
But if a system is laid down, no one should violate it.
Simply put, try to reach a consensus and act according to the consensus.
Seeing that everyone was silent, Zheng Fa opened the booklet and read:
"The first principle: knowledge sharing, treasure resources distributed according to work."
He paused, looked at everyone present, saw that they were all nodding, and continued reading:
"Second principle: All spoils of war must be handed over to the sect first and must not be kept privately."
Xiao Yuying had a strange expression on his face - this principle did not seem to please the monks.
After all, monk Xuanwei's trust in the sect has never been high.
After listening, she understood why Zheng Fa did this:
"According to the value of the loot obtained, project team members will receive the corresponding Merit."
"All loot will also be redeemed using Merit."
Xiao Yuying spoke softly, "Why go around in a circle?"
Zheng Fa divides the group members' contributions and loot, and adds a procedure to exchange for Merit.
Seeing her confusion, Zheng Fa smiled and said:
"This has several advantages: First, the amount of loot does not match the number of people. Even if it does match, it may not match the efforts of the group members. Merit is more flexible."
As soon as he said this, Xiao Yuying suddenly understood:
This is actually the difference between bartering and using currency, which is more flexible and easier to calculate.
"Secondly, it is also because there are some trophies that our Nine Mountains Realm monks have no use for, so we record them as Merit. They can also exchange them for other things."
Xiao Yuying nodded again, feeling more and more that this was indeed a good idea.
Sure enough, after hearing what Zheng Fa said, the faces of the project team members present also suddenly became clear - not only were they not dissatisfied, but they seemed to think Zheng Fa was quite considerate.
Xiao Yuying thought for a while and then asked, "Then how to determine the Merit of an individual?"
"Each link has a corresponding Merit."
"Who knows who did what at which stage? He can tell it by himself?" Xiao Yuying asked again.
Zheng Fa smiled, pointed at the disciples who used Recording Talisman before, and said, "Didn't we record the entire process?"
"..." Xiao Yuying's eyes widened, and then he understood why Zheng Fa had to use Recording Talisman to record the video, "Is this why you did it?"
"The main thing is to sum up experience, this is just incidental."
Archaeological video... the main thing is to keep a copy of the image data, for fear of overlooking some details.
But who says it can't be used to evaluate personal contributions?
With this kind of record, it is almost clear at a glance who has paid more and who has played a greater role in the project.
"You always have these weird thoughts..."
After holding it in for a long time, Xiao Yuying muttered.
Zheng Fa finished reading <Loot Distribution Manual> and asked again, "Do you have any opinions?"
Everyone thought for a while and shook their heads slightly.
Zheng Fa also understands that it's not that this manual is perfect, but that this method is relatively unfamiliar to these people... I can't think of any problems even if I just daydream about it for a while.
As I said before, if there is a problem in the future, I will correct it.
"Okay then..." Zheng Fa took out a catalog of items and said, "This is the harvest this time, Merit, Senior Sister Zhang and I are fine..."
He circulated the catalog of items to everyone, and seeing that everyone had no objections, he continued:
"Then start the evaluation of personal Merit..."
Zheng Fa threw a few Recording Talisman, and a light curtain appeared in the main hall. In the picture of the light curtain, from the time when Senior Sister Zhang and others set off, to the time when they killed Demonic Sect Nascent Soul, the entire archaeological process was detailed and vivid.
While playing on the screen, Senior Sister Zhang also explained who among them did what and what role they played.
When it finally ends, everyone will understand...
"This Merit, do you have any opinions on how it is distributed?"
Zheng Fa recorded what Senior Sister Zhang said, and calculated his personal Merit according to the Merit ratio in the <Distribution Principle>.
When the name came out, the most surprising thing... was Mu Qingyan.
She clearly ranked first and actually got the most Merit!
Even Xiao Yuying was a little surprised - Mu Qingyan was almost the weakest person in the entire archaeological team.
But as soon as I thought about it, I realized: without Mu Qingyan's information, this project would never be possible.
As for the subsequent list, it is normal:
Xiao Yuying is second, Senior Sister Zhang is third, behind each person's name is also written what they did and how many Merit they remembered for each thing, extremely detailed.
No one has any opinions after watching it... it's not right either!
"I have an opinion!"
Mu Qingyan suddenly spoke.
"Huh?"
The others looked at her and couldn't help but wonder... You are the first, what do you think?
"Sect Leader has good leadership, and he is always concerned about our safety at the Nine Mountains Realm... shouldn't there be more Merit!"
"..."
Looking at Mu Qingyan with a face full of indignation, everyone was speechless - you deserve to be first!
Zheng Fa forgot about his Merit, but it was really not much... He thought he didn't do much work.
Xiao Yuying walked to his yard, turned around, and went to Madam Xuanhua's yard first.
The two of them are now guests Nine Mountains, and they are familiar with each other. They live next to each other in the courtyard.
"What's wrong? You're thinking a lot..."
Xiao Yuying explained what happened in the palace. Madam Xuanhua raised his eyebrows and was extremely surprised. "This method... is actually..."
It took a long time, but she didn't say anything.
But Xiao Yuying was nodding, obviously understanding what she meant - this method seemed to be able to be implemented for a long time.
Madam Xuanhua was silent for a long time, then suddenly muttered, "Do you think it would be better for me to directly join Nine Mountains Sect?"
"Huh?"
Xiao Yuying's eyes widened and he was surprised - this Madam Xuanhua has never been willing to join a big force and only wanted to be Rogue Cultivator.
Otherwise, with her skill in refining weapons... she would have been respectfully treated as a guest of honor.
"I'm not thinking - I see Golden Core Engineering... I'm afraid it's not the end of the Nine Mountains or Zheng Fa."
Xiao Yuying nodded.
"I didn't want to join any sect before because there were too many messy things in it and I was an outsider." Madam Xuanhua explained, "Now that he can be fair and just, Nine Mountains Realm seems to be taking off..."
Xiao Yuying blinked and suddenly realized that Madam Xuanhua could see more clearly than himself:
She has never thought carefully about the potential of the Nine Mountains Realm. But speaking of it, there is no doubt about the genius of Zheng Fa.
And Nine Mountains Realm's knowledge is even more unfathomable.
What's more, everything Zheng Fa does is beneficial to the Nine Mountains Realm, and even invisibly guides all Nine Mountains disciples to work together...
No matter how you look at it, Nine Mountains Realm has great potential!
Madam Xuanhua seemed to be thinking the same thing as her, and the hesitation on his face seemed to be increasingly replaced by determination.
Mu Qingyan returned to her yard feeling a little excited - this Merit was really not a small fortune for the Qi Refining Realm.
She frowned and was thinking secretly: Which one should I say next Secret Realm?
After thinking about it, she was still a little troubled:
... Can I bear the reputation of ancestor Nascent Soul?
"That Water Mansion is a little weird..."
Senior Sister Zhang suddenly found Zheng Fa with a serious look on his face, obviously in a bad mood.
"What's weird?"
Zheng Fa was confused, but he thought of Mu Qingyan's previous warning - this Tianhe Ruins seemed to have a conspiracy.
Neither he nor Senior Sister Zhang has forgotten this.
Senior Sister Zhang brought Zheng Fa to a laboratory, where the earth, stones and bricks collected from the Water Mansion were placed.
Xiao Yuying is also here.
"The treasure gourd is real, then <Tianhe Orthodox Method> is also real, but it is not real... it is this Water Mansion."
Zheng Fa nodded and looked at Senior Sister Zhang and others.
"Although the shape of the Water Mansion is imitated by Previous Epoch,..."
Senior Sister Zhang pointed at a piece of blue brick and said, "This kind of green brick is made of Mud-to-Stone Method. This method... has been improved in recent years to make such bricks. I asked Xiao Fairy, Previous Epoch, there should be no such material..."
"..."
Zheng Fa tasted the product and understood the meaning of Senior Sister Zhang:
That baby and Cultivation Method may be from Previous Epoch...
But this Water Mansion... is probably from last month.
"Someone faked it?"
Senior Sister Zhang nodded.
"This method is a bit rough..."
Zheng Fa thought for a while and commented.
Xiao Yuying couldn't help but murmur in his heart, "A normal monk wouldn't knock two bricks out of someone else's bricks..."
Just knock, and also research what technology is used to make it...
Unheard of!
It's depressing to say that she claims to have a clear understanding of the Secret Realm from all eras, but she didn't find anything unusual this time.
If Senior Sister Zhang hadn't come to her to ask about the bricks, she might never have found out about it in her life...
At this moment, she even felt a little aggrieved for the person who arranged this Secret Realm:
According to common sense, this person's arrangements are good enough...
The problem is that Nine Mountains Sect and Zheng Fa don't follow common sense!
"If someone arranged this Water Mansion, what did he do for it?"
Zheng Fa frowned and asked Senior Sister Zhang.
"... We can only know that it has something to do with Venerable Tianhe..." Senior Sister Zhang thought for a moment and said, "And being so sneaky and secretive is probably not a good thing."
Zheng Fa nodded, it was true. After all, Venerable Tianhe probably didn't leave any friends, but there were enemies everywhere...
"Then if there is any means, I'm afraid it's still in that Water Mansion!" Zheng Fa looked a little unpredictable, and he continued, "Although the gourd and <Celestial River True Method> are also suspected, the most suspicious thing should be the stone!"
Senior Sister Zhang also understands what Zheng Fa said - the rock is so conspicuous, as if someone had deliberately placed it inside the Water Mansion, but there is no Spiritual Qi at all.
Zheng Fa led Senior Sister Zhang and others around the black rocks, and for a while they couldn't figure out what was going on.
"No response..."
Uncle-Master Pang took back his spiritual power Divine Soul angrily, seeming a little disappointed.
Old Yuan on the side laughed and said, "Then why don't you go away?"
"Didn't you see nothing?"
There is no spiritual power in this rock, and its value is hard to calculate.
But everyone is not a fool - this thing may be related to Venerable Tianhe!
According to the principle of knowledge sharing, this thing is now in the Nine Mountains Realm, and everyone can understand it. These Nascent Soul True Person naturally take the lead...
Just now even Aunt-Master Huang, who has always been calm, tried it.
None of them saw anything false or true.
"Are you afraid that it was... drawn randomly?"
Uncle-Master Pang muttered.
"Zheng Fa!"
Old Yuan suddenly pointed at Zheng Fa, and the implication was clear!
Everyone looked at Zheng Fa--at this time, the real genius should appear!
Zheng Fa is actually quite guilty.
He looked at the sword mark and thought for a while, this thing... seems difficult to analyze using modern science...
After looking for a long time and still unable to figure out the reason, Zheng Fa imitated Uncle-Master Pang and immersed his spiritual power into the rocks. Sure enough, there was no reaction.
But when he touched the rock with Divine Soul, in the sea of consciousness, an old friend suddenly made movement--
Yin-Yang Fish Jade Pendant!
The Yin-Yang Fish on top of Jade Pendant hugged each other head to tail and rotated rapidly.
Zheng Fa The rocks in front of us have changed even more--
It emits bursts of blue light, as if it has turned into beautiful jade.
The sword marks were swimming like fish.
Seeing this change, Old Yuan and the others looked at each other and cast spells in tacit agreement to cover up the strange phenomena in the courtyard.
When they looked at the sword marks on the jade again, they found that... they still couldn't understand it.
Those sword marks kept moving around, as if they were demonstrating something, but no one could see the meaning clearly.
Old Yuan They are completely confused.
But Zheng Fa can understand it!
The Yin-Yang Fish in his sea of consciousness was like a polarizing film, allowing him to see a different picture from others -
Not words, not light and shadow, but like sketches one after another:
At the beginning, it was the figure of a young man holding a sword alone. He entered the demon's cave and leveled it. Everyone praised him and the world admired him.
Later, there were many people around him, including confidantes and like-minded partners, followers like clouds, and disciples like rain.
After that, he ordered the world, and no immortal sect dared to disobey him. His power was so great that it had not been seen for tens of thousands of years.
But the last scene, Zheng Fa was predictable...
A man with a single sword, isolated on the top of a mountain.
He couldn't help but sigh secretly in his heart, and saw that the sketch images in the picture had disappeared and turned into paragraphs of text.
The first sentence made Zheng Fa shaken and caught off guard:
"Nine Nether is right!"
Zheng Fa almost couldn't believe his eyes, and read the sentence again, only then was he sure that he had read it correctly.
At this time, he also understood that this rock was probably something Venerable Tianhe left to everyone in Jade Pendant.
Zheng Fa still doesn't quite understand what the previous sketch wanted to express.
But this sentence almost shattered Zheng Fa's impression of Venerable Tianhe.
He always felt that Venerable Tianhe had no doubt about his Dao Path.
Moreover, I probably have a deep hatred for the Demonic Sect and all Devil Ancestor.
But this sentence indicates two things--
First, Venerable Tianhe felt that he was wrong.
Second, Venerable Tianhe and Nine Nether Devil Ancestor seem to have a good relationship...
Even this sentence has a feeling of mental collapse.
He looked down and saw the second sentence:
"Don't learn from me. If you learn from me, you will only become me..."
Zheng Fa was even more surprised. It seemed like Venerable Tianhe had suffered a huge blow.
You know, most monks leave inheritance to future generations because they want future generations to learn more about themselves...
Who would say this like Venerable Tianhe?
Until the end, it is the main body of the general inheritance: an article Cultivation Method.
No... it should be called an incomplete method: <Nine-Turn Golden Core Method>
Why is it said incomplete:
This is because apart from a general outline, there is no practical method at all.
To put it simply, the first turn is missing, the second turn is missing, the third turn is missing... it is missing until the ninth turn...
Cultivation Method Finally, Zheng Fa also saw Venerable Tianhe talking a lot eloquently. Let's translate it a little, and the meaning is roughly as follows:
The general outline of this Golden Core method is a life-long summary of my Golden Core Stage practice.
Although I have created my own Nine-Turn Golden Core Method, this method is only suitable for me, not for those who come after me.
Now that we have the general outline, later people's own Nine-Turn Golden Core Method should be very simple...
Zheng Fa now understands why Tianhe Sect betrayed Venerable Tianhe...
But...Venerable Tianhe Why is it so taboo to pass down the specific method?
Zheng Fa thought about it and felt that he might have thought wrong about something:
Immortal Sect transformed or abandoned Celestial River Method, was it really just because of hatred?
