Chapter One Hundred and Twenty-Three Rewarding the Good Doctor
Xu Zhiqiong returned to the Punishment Department with the voucher and deed.
He first went to the Meritorious Honor Building to redeem his merits, and then went to the exit of the Punishment Department.
There are three gates at the exit of the Punishing Evil Division, one leads to the Underworld Division, one leads to the Tomb Zaifu, and one leads to the Rewarding the Good Division. This is the only way he knows to lead to the Rewarding the Good Division.
This road is very different from the road leading to the underworld. It is filled with red flowers and green trees, full of life.
After walking for more than half an hour, there was a green mountain in front of the road. The mountain was not too high, about four to five hundred feet, with lush vegetation and a small stream slowly flowing down the mountainside.
There is a pavilion next to the creek. In the pavilion, a man in white is playing the piano.
This man was wearing a mask and was obviously an official from the Department of Appreciating Good Things. He was very good at playing the piano. Xu Zhiqiong knew music. He often listened to music at Goulan.
Seeing that the man was playing so attentively, Xu Zhiqiong did not want to be disturbed and listened quietly to the side.
After half an hour, the man in white finally finished playing a song and sighed softly: "Good song, really good song. Thank you for waiting for me."
Xu Zhiqiong leaned over and saluted: "I am really lucky to hear Mr. play fairy music."
The man in white nodded and said, "In that case, let me play a song for you."
"Wait a minute!" The song lasted for an hour. Xu Zhiqiong couldn't wait any longer. He took out Yuan's crime and handed it to the man in white, saying, "I'm here to redeem my merits."
The man in white looked at the crime, nodded and said: "Among our colleagues, there are countless people who punish evil and eradicate evil, but there are only a few who reward good and good people. It is rare, it is really rare. A certain family plays three ditties. If you can recognize the tune,
I will take you to exchange for meritorious service."
Isn't it right? If you come to reward a good person in exchange for meritorious deeds, you still have to take a test?
This person has always called himself a certain family. This is a term used by the previous dynasty to refer to himself, and it is also very common in opera.
This person must be a music fanatic.
Xu Zhiqiong is not unfamiliar with Qupai, but he is not too familiar with it. In Goulan, Xu Zhiqiong did not put much effort into Qupai. Most of the Qupai was heard in Yinggeyuan.
Qin Changmao always comes to reward good deeds and receive meritorious deeds. Does he have to pass an exam every time? From the looks of it, he doesn't know much about music.
While thinking about it, the man in white had already started playing the piano. Halfway through, Xu Zhiqiong heard the tune: "This is "Drunken Peace"."
The man in white nodded and said: ""Drunken Peace" is an old song, and it's not a skill to listen to it. Let's listen to someone playing it again."
After playing for a while, Xu Zhiqiong blurted out: "This is "Green Skirt Waist"."
The man in white smiled: "Who on the street doesn't know "Green Skirt Waist"? This song is more popular. I will play another one."
The next song is quite different. It is a typical springtime and snowy song. This is the kind of song that Xin Chu, the master of Wuyin Pavilion, dances with in Yinggeyuan.
This kind of music is beyond the scope of Xu Zhiqiong's appreciation. Xu Zhiqiong naturally cannot remember the tune. After playing a section, the man in white looked at Xu Zhiqiong and said, "You can't hear it this time, right?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded: "I'm sorry for my deafness."
If you don't understand, just admit it openly. There is no need to mess around with others.
The man in white stood up and said: "What a pity, what a pity, you only listened to two songs."
Failed the exam.
The merits were not rewarded.
Forget it, if you don't get it, you won't get it. If you don't get it this time, there will be another time. Anyway, the crime is in your own hands, and you may not meet this weirdo next time.
Xu Zhiqiong was about to leave when he saw the man getting up and saying, "Come with a certain family."
Xu Zhiqiong said in surprise: "What do you want to do?"
"Don't you want to redeem your merits?"
"I only heard two songs, can I still receive merit?"
"Even if you can't hear a single song, you can still change it," the man in white said with a smile, "Rewarding kindness is a great achievement, how can I still lose you?"
Then you let me hear it!
Xu Zhiqiong remained silent and followed the man in white slowly up the mountain along the creek.
"Tell someone, where does this crime come from?"
Do I need to say this?
You don’t know how to use a mirror to take photos?
Doesn't the Good Rewards Department have equipment like a mirror stand?
Let's just talk. Xu Zhiqiong recounted what happened in detail. The man in white nodded and said, "It turns out that this matter is also related to Qin Changmao. What do you think of Qin Changmao?"
Xu Zhiqiong's heart tightened and he remembered something.
Most of Qin Changmao's meritorious deeds came from the Shanxi Reward Department. He was quite famous in the Shanshan Shanshan Reward Department. This question should be answered carefully.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "It's a word and a half, but it's hard to say."
The man in white nodded and said: "You and a certain family are both upright people and do not judge people behind their backs. However, according to a certain family, Qin Changmao has done a lot of good deeds, but he is pedantic and does not know right from wrong. He saved one person and I don't know how many people." To suffer the consequences is not the right way to reward good deeds!"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and said, "That's what Xiongtai said."
The man in white turned his face and said, "Do you know what the right path of rewarding good deeds is?"
Is there another exam?
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment and said: "Rewarding good and punishing evil is the duty of Taoism."
"That's right. If you can't even answer this..." The man deliberately made a long note.
Xu Zhiqiong said: "If I can't answer the question, will my merits be redeemed?"
"No, I can't answer that. They can't do anything to you. Your merits still have to be redeemed. I'm just asking casually."
The man in white continued to walk up the mountain. Looking at his back, Xu Zhiqiong had the urge to beat him up.
Forget it, I'll beat him after he gets some merit.
The two of them walked to the top of the mountain. The man in white took a breath of the mountain breeze and felt very comfortable.
"Brother, apart from music, what else do you do well?"
Xu Zhiqiong told the truth: "I also like to watch dance."
The man in white nodded: "That's good. It's not like people like Qin Changmao. The only thing they specialize in is his toothbrushing utensils. Someone plays music for him, but he can't hear a song. Such vulgar people, It really disgusts a certain family! Since brother, you are happy to enjoy the dance, how about a certain family dances a song for you? If you can identify the music brand of a certain family..."
Xu Zhiqiong couldn't bear it anymore: "Brother, I have something urgent. Please give me your merit first."
"Alas, it's hard to find a true friend," the man in white sighed, "Follow me to the small pavilion at the foot of the mountain to redeem your merits."
A small pavilion at the foot of the mountain?
Isn’t that still the same place?
Xu Zhiqiong said angrily: "Since you are redeeming your merits in the small pavilion, why do you still take me up the mountain?"
The man in white said: "A certain family is tired and wants to come to the mountains for a walk. I don't want you to come with me, brother."
Xu Zhiqiong was furious, rolled up his sleeves and said, "May I ask what level of cultivation you have?"
The man in white clasped his fists and said: "Fourth rank of the Taoist sect, a rewarder for good deeds, Bai Yueshan!"
Xu Zhiqiong rolled back his sleeves, cupped his fists and said, "Seventh grade fellow student, Ma Shangfeng, has met Doctor Bai."
Bai Yueshan exclaimed: "I am Yueshan, and you are Shangfeng. No wonder we are so compatible!"
"Speculation, speculation!" Xu Zhiqiong gritted his teeth secretly.
Fourth grade, brag!
Are you such a joke at the fourth level?
He took a look with the Eye of Sinful Karma and couldn't tell the other party's cultivation level.
The limit of the Eye of Sinful Karma is the fifth level. Since you can't see it, it's hard to prove that the opponent is above the fifth level.
This is ridiculous.
Bai Yueshan put his hands behind his back and breathed a sigh of relief: "The season is just right. You can go with a certain family to the mountains to pick some flowers."
"Picking flowers..." Xu Zhiqiong pursed his lips and said, dumbfounded, "Just listen to Doctor Bai's instructions."
The two wandered in the mountains for half a day and returned to the small pavilion. Doctor Bai played another song and finally agreed to redeem Xu Zhiqiong's meritorious service.
He put his sins on the piano, and after a while, the horns turned into black smoke and dissipated.
There is an extra cloth bag on the piano. The bag is embroidered with the word "白" and is filled with golden beans.
The fourth-grade reward-for-good official is the master of the reward-for-good department.
Xu Zhiqiong has been to the Punishing and Punishing Department many times, but he has never seen the Chief Punisher, but the Good-Rewarding Officer is willing to redeem Xu Zhiqiong's merits in person.
Although his temperament is a bit strange, Xu Zhiqiong's impression of Bai Yueshan is pretty good.
Bai Yueshan handed over the meritorious deeds to Xu Zhiqiong. As soon as Xu Zhiqiong said goodbye, Bai Yueshan said: "Wait a minute, is this your first time to reward kindness?"
Judging from his tone, it seems that there is another reward for doing good deeds for the first time.
Xu Zhiqiong quickly agreed: "It is indeed the first time."
Bai Yueshan nodded, cupped his fists and said, "See you later!"
I set...
If I can't beat you, you see if I can't trap you to death...
Xu Zhiqiong returned home with his merits, and the Taoist priest sat in the courtyard waiting for him.
"Take out whatever you have collected in total!"
"Actually, there aren't too many," Xu Zhiqiong first took out the 291 merit points that were redeemed in the Yin Division.
The Taoist Master nodded and said: "Including the more than one hundred pills used to punish Duan Shiyun, it is enough to reach the seventh level."
To punish Duan Shiyun, I got one hundred and ten from Cao Yilang, which added up to more than four hundred, just enough to be promoted to the seventh rank.
Xu Zhiqiong had 203 pills left last time and took them out as well.
The Taoist priest sighed: "That's all, you've already walked half of the road to Zhongsheng."
Xu Zhiqiong also took out the two hundred meritorious deeds he had received from the Good Rewards Department. The Taoist Master was no longer calm:
"I told you that you, a thief, must steal food! I didn't look at you for a while, but you actually hid so much? Did you jump over this seventh-grade one? If I didn't come, would you have even made it to the seventh grade?
You also have to jump over the product..."
After a few scoldings, the Taoist priest noticed that the bag containing the meritorious deeds was different.
The word "白" is embroidered on it.
"This is Bai Yueshan's pocket," the Taoist priest's brows relaxed a little, "Have you appreciated the kindness?"
Xu Zhiqiong nodded and recounted his previous experience.
The Taoist priest heard this and praised him greatly: "You are very good at killing people. I didn't expect that your kind heart of redemption would not be diminished. You are really a member of my Taoist sect! Forget it, I will help you to rise to the seventh rank! You eat four first
Hundreds of meritorious deeds!”
"Thank you, Master!" Xu Zhiqiong turned back to get the wine!
For this moment, he prepared two jars of good wine!
One altar is Meishou from Fengle Tower, and the other altar is Liuxia from Gaoyangdian.
Meishou is a strong drink, and if you drink it when the medium rises, your mood will be more in place.
Liuxia is a little softer, take a few sips first and drink the golden beans!
The young man is in high spirits and deserves to sing and drink wildly!
Xu Zhiqiong picked up the wine jar and shouted: "How magnificent!"
He weighed it and put it down again.
"Master..."
The Taoist priest sighed softly: "Today is the time of fasting."
He drank up Liuxia.
That’s all, spirits are fine too!
Xu Zhiqiong raised his eyebrows again.
"Master..."
The Taoist priest sighed again: "You have been gone for too long."
He drank both jars of good wine without leaving a sip.
"Master, since it's fasting time, don't come to me!"
Xu Zhiqiong drank a bowl of cold water, and while sighing, he ate three hundred and ninety-nine merit pills.
He didn't eat the last one. He still remembered the lesson when he was promoted to the seventh level. At that time, he went crazy and was slapped twice by the Taoist priest before he came to his senses.
He can no longer suffer this loss today. He believes that the Taoist priest has other solutions.
Niu Yuxian made an iron helmet for Xu Zhiqiong. Xu Zhiqiong first put on the iron helmet, and then put on the judge's mask.
He ate the 400th merit and stood in front of the Taoist Priest.
"Master, disciple is ready."
The Taoist priest did not move, Xu Zhiqiong said: "Master, what are you waiting for? Disciple here..."
Halfway through his words, Xu Zhiqiong stopped.
To be precise, he froze.
In the past, it was the body that was frozen, but now it is the mind that is frozen.
His thinking stagnated, and once a person's thinking stagnated, time also came to a standstill for him.
This process is very dangerous. If no external force intervenes, Xu Zhiqiong will remain still in place until the body and spirit are exhausted.
The Taoist priest was already prepared. He helped Xu Zhiqiong take off his helmet, and then helped Xu Zhiqiong take off his mask.
He picked up a firewood stick from the ground and pointed it at Xu Zhiqiong's head.
Bang! A muffled sound! The firewood stick broke.
The force of this stick was just right, it lifted the bag without bleeding.
The Taoist priest put the helmet and mask on Xu Zhiqiong again. After waiting for half a cup of tea, Xu Zhiqiong woke up.
"Master, has this disciple reached the seventh level?"
The Taoist priest nodded and said, "Promoted."
It is easy to rise among these seven grades, and it is not as painful as in the past.
I just feel a little dizzy.
Xu Zhiqiong took off his helmet and mask and said with a smile: "Master, please help this disciple to advance to the seventh rank!"
The Taoist priest shook his head and said: "Don't be busy, let me first teach you the skills of the seventh grade, the methods of heaven and earth!"
What does justice mean? It doesn’t sound like you can fight very well!
"Master should teach me how to judge cases, right? These skills are of little use."
The Taoist priest shook his head and said: "You have your own right and wrong when discussing the right and wrong of Master Lang. But if you encounter a tyrannical person and do not decide according to right and wrong, what should you do?"
Xu Zhiqiong thought for a moment, shook his head and said, "If he doesn't listen to me, there's nothing I can do about it."
For some things, strength must speak for itself.
The Taoist Master looked solemn: "The laws of nature have their own justice. Focus on the enemy and make it concrete in your heart. When the enemy is strong, you are strong. If you are weak, the enemy is weak. We should fight fair."
Xu Zhiqiong understood what the Taoist priest meant,
When fighting a strong enemy, he can forcefully bring the strengths of both sides to the same level!
Xu Zhiqiong looked at the Taoist Master: "Master, does that mean I don't have to be afraid of you in the future?"
The Taoist priest actually opened up his posture: "Crazy man, do you dare to come and try?"
