I studied abroad in modern times

Half a month later.

"Is it enough for those children to only come for half a day every day?"

Looking at the children who left ignorantly, Senior Sister Yuan asked.

According to Zheng Fa's rules, these children come to the temple to study in the morning and return before lunch, which only lasts two hours a day.

Zheng Fa was silent for a while and said: "Senior Sister Yuan, people in Banshan City have short life spans. Not to mention five-year-old children, ten-year-old children can already be strong laborers... If they stay in the temple all day, I’m afraid my family will be too busy.”

Zheng Fa, who grew up on a farm, knows full-time study is actually an extremely luxurious thing.

Even before Zheng's father passed away, he would help the family with a lot of work every day.

Not to mention that the conditions in Banshan City are now not as good as those at the Zhao Family Farm.

According to the average life expectancy in Banshan City, which is more than thirty years old, ten years old can be considered a young person...

Most children in mid-mountain towns either have to help the family cook or follow them up the mountain and down the river.

However, Senior Sister Zhang understands world affairs better than Senior Sister Yuan. She said, "There is still too little food."

Zheng Fa agreed in his heart.

If you want some people to be out of work, there is still enough food.

Although the output of edible mushrooms exceeds Zheng Fa's expectations, it is still limited, and it is not a staple food.

Any development plan must be implemented on the basis of a full stomach——

In this regard, we rely on domesticating crops and cultivating spiritual plants.

Zheng Fa was open-minded: "Take your time. It takes ten years to grow trees and a hundred years to cultivate people. Education and farming are not things that can be done in a hurry."

Senior Sister Yuan on the side said with some disgust: "These children are also stupid..."

At this point, even Zheng Fade shook his head.

He didn't expect any genius among these hundreds of children...

But to be fair, it would be a bit too much for them to portray Xiao Qing as a genius.

But Senior Sister Zhang can see clearly:

"It's no wonder they have it. After all, they haven't read any books."

"Secondly, they don't understand the benefits of studying."

"With neither foundation nor purpose, it is naturally difficult to make progress." Senior Sister Zhang paused in her voice and looked at Xiao Qing outside the temple, "But this girl, although her foundation is poor, is better because of her hard work."

Xiao Qing was holding a book in one hand and a branch in the other, writing and drawing on the dirt in front of the temple.

Among all the "students", she is the most diligent.

At least Xiaoqing was the only one who reviewed after class.

She frowned, obviously confused and thinking hard.

As if she couldn't figure it out, she threw away the dead branch, pursed her lips, and squatted on the ground in a daze, quite giving up on herself.

Zheng Fa thought for a while and said:

"Xiao Qing."

"well?"

"Have those beans been planted?"

Zheng Fa asked.

The Lingmulei he had previously researched in modern times could spawn a type of bean in the world of heavenly monuments.

Zheng Fa had previously ordered Xiao Qing to carve out a piece of land to grow this stuff.

"alright!"

"In the future, this bean will be used as a reward."

Xiaoqing asked confusedly: "Reward?"

Zheng Fa explained: "Reward children who study well."

After all, it is just a kind of scholarship.

Ordinary crops will not be distributed. They are the basis for most people's survival and the necessities of life.

However, the output of spiritual plants is relatively rare, and it is impossible for everyone to have it.

Senior Sister Zhang said before that these children had no desire to study, so he thought of this.

Xiaoqing obviously understood.

"That……"

She hesitated.

"Um?"

"Do I have it?"

"certainly!"

Upon hearing this, Xiaoqing picked up the branch again.

Seeing her interest, Senior Sister Zhang's tone was a bit strange: "Junior Brother Zheng, you always have some wonderful but useful ideas."

This time, Zheng Fa did not take credit, but just smiled and said: "It's not that others can't figure it out, it's just that no one in the Xuanwei world is willing to invest so much in education."

Senior Sister Zhang was silent.

This is obvious. Apart from anything else, even the Jiushan Sect’s own spiritual plants are not enough to eat, let alone for these uncultivated children?

After hearing this, Senior Sister Yuan seemed to have thought of something, and suddenly said:

"Junior Brother Zheng, actually I also love learning!"

"Senior sister..." Zheng Fa was speechless, "You should try to compare yourself with someone who is literate..."

"Nonsense, I have to be able to compete with those who are literate..."

…

Zheng Fa led his two senior sisters towards the Hundred Treasures Hall.

There were four or five monks in the hall who were exchanging spiritual materials. Their faces were full of interest and they were discussing with each other.

But when Zheng Fa stepped into the hall, the monks looked at each other and walked out of the door in unison. Zheng Fa's smile when passing by was polite and distant, even faintly filled with fear.

It's as if he doesn't want to stay in this hundred treasures palace.

Senior Sister Yuan asked curiously: "Junior Brother Zheng, are they afraid of you?"

"Senior Sister Yuan, if you had a hundred stones of yellow rice in your hand, would you be happy?"

"Of course I'm happy!"

"Then you suddenly meet someone and say he has ten thousand burdens. Are you still so happy?"

Senior Sister Yuan was stunned, and suddenly realized something: "Out of sight, out of mind!"

Zheng Fa nodded, sighing a little in his heart - this group of people acted too smartly this time, otherwise he would have been afraid that their hearts would collapse...

The first few times he came to Tianbei, Zheng Fa could still say that he was self-reliant.

This time was different, this time he came with two senior sisters!

The more than 20,000 heavenly skills contained in the copper seal are the best tribute to the two senior sisters!

He had previously earned more than 10,000 Tian Gong in total. The two senior sisters gave him a super double...

This is of course due to the fact that he has developed two major types of thunder methods: Heavenly Tribulation Thunder and Cloud and Rain Thunder, but Zheng Fa can also see the dedication and hard work of the two senior sisters.

"Sister, what do you want?" Zheng Fa turned around and asked a little embarrassed.

According to Zheng Fa's estimate, 20,000 of the nearly 20,000 heavenly skills are due to Senior Sister Zhang, and Senior Sister Yuan probably only accounts for a fraction. As for Zheng Fa...

Probably a fraction of a fraction.

Mainly because he put most of his energy into educating children, and the only source of some heavenly power may be the spiritual plant beans spawned by Ling Mu Lei.

Senior Sister Zhang shook her head and said, "These spiritual materials are useless to me."

Zheng Fa pursed his lips. In this Xuanwei world, who would think there are too many spiritual materials?

However, Senior Sister Yuan didn't seem to want to be polite to Zheng Fa. She scratched around on the jade tablet with great interest. When she saw some rare spiritual fruit, she had to stop and swallow a few mouthfuls of saliva...

She didn't even read it once, but over and over again.

It seems a bit confusing.

Zheng Fa was waiting for her to choose.

After a while, Senior Sister Yuan put down her finger and said, "I've got it!"

"Well, senior sister, which ones do you want to choose?"

"I don't choose."

"..."

"I just want to take a look! Just keep an eye on it!" Senior Sister Yuan said confidently, "I've never been here before, so I'm curious and want to play!"

"..."

Zheng Fa looked at the dim jade stele, as if he was listening to the jade stele scolding Senior Sister Yuan for being a scumbag.

Looking at the two senior sisters who were unwilling to use any of their heavenly skills, Zheng Fa remained silent for a while and selected the jade tablets for a while.

Twenty thousand heavenly skills is really a lot... Even Zheng Fa took a long time to choose.

What made Zheng Fa a little confused was that after the jade tablet flashed a few times, it didn't give any spiritual materials!

"What's going on?" Senior Sister Yuan scratched her head, "Did you mess with me? Are you angry?"

Zheng Fa was also a little confused, but the next moment, he saw a burst of silvery white light suddenly coming out of his copper seal, and he suddenly realized that this thing was going to be upgraded again!

Sure enough, the silvery white light led the three people and flew towards the main hall. The main hall opened without wind and slowly closed behind the three people.

This time, the palace became brighter.

The hall is very large. After the nine golden and jade steps, there is a high platform. On the high platform is the tombstone that Zheng Fa saw last time.

There was something under the steps that Zheng Fa had not seen last time - twenty-four short tables, facing each other, with a futon placed behind the short tables.

"Is this the seat of the twenty-four statues of the side hall?"

After looking around, Senior Sister Zhang said thoughtfully.

Zheng Fa nodded and said: "It can be seen that although the master of this palace is different from these twenty-four people, he still treats them with great courtesy."

"So, they deducted our heavenly power?"

Senior Sister Yuan said.

Zheng Fa shook his head and looked at the copper seal that was still shining brightly in front of him.

A touch of silver gradually bloomed like an ink drop in water, covering up the previously slightly dull copper color.

When the seal turned into silver, a voice echoed in the main hall:

"After the end of the Dharma Tribulation, the heaven is covered with dust, the Immortal Emperor loses his throne, and all things collapse."

"Today there is the Thunder God Zheng Fa, who has thirty thousand heavenly merits, and is given a silver seal to walk in the heavenly palace. I hope you will assist the heavenly master to rebuild the heavenly palace and reestablish the way of heaven."

Zheng Fa glanced at Senior Sister Zhang, there was a lot of information in these few sentences...

After these words fell, the evolved Silver Seal hit Zheng Fa, and the three of them flew out of the palace involuntarily.

"This is……"

Standing outside the hall, he looked around.

The Heavenly Palace in the Heavenly Monument Realm originally had three main halls, and beyond that there was a void, covered with white mist, and nothing could be seen.

Some people have also curiously explored it. If you walk three feet into the white mist, you will unknowingly return to the starting point and cannot go deeper at all.

But now it has changed.

The three halls where Zheng Fa was still looked like isolated islands in the white mist, but there was no longer nothingness in the white mist - there seemed to be several other islands, shadowy in the mist.

"Is this what walking in heaven means?"

Just when he had a clear understanding in his heart, the silver seal was beating again and again, as if inviting him.

Zheng Fa put his finger on Xi's body and felt a soft wind suddenly coming from the soles of his feet.

The wind lifted him up and flew towards one of the "islands".

He was caught off guard. When he turned around, he saw Senior Sister Zhang and the two of them behind him, and he felt relieved.

Not long after flying, several people landed on the nearest island.

"This is..." Senior Sister Yuan's eyes widened, feeling like her eyes had been opened.

Senior Sister Zhang said: "It's like a medicine garden."

There is a bare hill in the center of this island. It is not high. All kinds of elixirs grow around the hill.

No, it wasn’t just the elixir, Zheng Fa also saw many spiritual beasts moving among them.

All kinds of spiritual materials he saw on the jade tablets were growing in them.

"So the spiritual materials that Junior Brother Zheng wants to redeem are all grown here?" Senior Sister Yuan scratched her head, "But these are all seedlings..."

Zheng Fa was also puzzled.

Although the medicine garden here is large, there are also many kinds of spiritual materials, but there is one thing - whether they are spiritual materials or monster beasts, they are still young, far from the century- or even ten-thousand-year-old spiritual materials shown on the jade tablet. level.

Just among a few people.

The silver seal in front of Zheng Fa suddenly flew over the medicine garden, and a lot of people's voices came out:

"The mushrooms given by Master Thunder God are so delicious!"

"Thanks to the God of Thunder, I caught another fish today..."

"It's a sunny day again, I feel much better..."

"I'll go to the temple of the God of Thunder to worship tomorrow..."

"Good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded. Don't do bad things..."

"..."

The voice was full of gratitude, reverence or fear for Zheng Fa - what surprised the three people even more was that as the voice sounded, the originally inconspicuous hill shook slightly and slowly flew up.

The rocks and soil on the mountain gradually fell off, and golden dots overflowed from the soil.

Only then did they realize that the hill was actually a big golden bell, and the bell wall seemed to be engraved with patterns of the sun, moon and stars.

The big bell flew higher and higher, and grew bigger and bigger, and finally enveloped the entire island.

The various human sounds emitted by the silver seal seemed to resonate with the big clock, which trembled slightly in the void.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

A sound of bells sounded in all directions.

With the sound of the bell, the sun, moon and stars on the bell wall seemed to come alive, rotating around the big bell.

When the bell rings, the sun sets, the moon rises, and the stars rotate.

In one rotation, some of the plants and animals in the medicine garden grew one year older!

Not to mention Zheng Fa, even Senior Sister Zhang on the side looked at this scene blankly.

"So that's how it grew up..." Senior Sister Yuan also murmured to herself, as if she understood.

The so-called exchange of heavenly power for spiritual materials actually means using these "human voices" in the silver seal as nutrients to activate the treasure bell, thereby using the treasure bell to stimulate the birth of spiritual plants and spiritual beasts.

Zheng Fa gradually fell silent.

At first, he always felt that this so-called heavenly power and so-called exchange were too nihilistic, and even made him feel like a game at first.

Now he finally understands the origin of this exchange.

Heavenly power...

He thought of the various documents, books and even novels he had read in modern times. Could it be the so-called incense?

He looked at Senior Sister Zhang aside. Senior Sister Zhang also frowned, seeming to be thinking about something.

"Sister?"

Senior Sister Zhang was silent for a moment, then suddenly said: "You should still remember that I told you at the very beginning that the spiritual energy of Xuanwei Realm declined at least five times..."

Zheng Fa was suddenly stunned and understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant.

The theory of the five declines of spiritual energy was told by Senior Sister Zhang when he first met him. At that time, Senior Sister Zhang said that there was a history of the last two times that could be traced——

The fourth time ended with the destruction of the Demon Sect.

At the end of the fifth time, Lord Tianhe raised his sword to open the sky.

Only the first three times cannot be tested.

"Sister, are you saying that this should be the legacy of the previous three spiritual energy declines?"

Senior Sister Zhang nodded: "If there are only five times, judging from the previous sentence about the tribulation of the end of law in the hall, it should be the second or third time..."

Zheng Fa nodded and said:

"Although the language in this Heavenly Monument Realm has some accents, the grammar is very similar to that in the Xuanwei Realm, and they should have the same origin."

"I don't know if it's the second or third time..." Zheng Fa looked at the precious clock on the sky and seemed to understand why Senior Sister Zhang frowned so much.

This treasure can actually interfere with the passage of time. In the Xuanwei world, Zheng Fa has never heard of such a treasure...

This shows how powerful the so-called Heavenly Lord is.

The problem is...

The tombstone and the twenty-four empty chairs told them clearly that they too had failed.
