I studied abroad in modern times

After going out to do a big job, the next step is to divide the money on the big scale.

The heroes of the Nine Mountains who returned to the mountain were seated in a clear order. They were all sitting in the main hall of Tiangong Island, 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, as if it is telling something.

Next to the rock, there is a desk where Zheng Fa usually works. There are five things on the desk -

A yellow-skinned gourd and a jade tube were obtained from the Shui Mansion.

There were also three storage bags, one of which was still stained with blood.

These are those of the three Nascent Souls without eyes...

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 Mu Taoist ran very fast, and it was useless to silence them.

But the last one was actually a member of the Great Freedom Demon Sect... This was the former suffering master of the Nine Mountains Sect.

Enemies are extremely jealous when they meet.

Senior Sister Zhang and the others were ruthless.

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 palace fell on Zheng Fa, with different expressions, but they were all waiting for Zheng Fa to speak.

Xiao Yuying sat on the left side of Zheng Fa and couldn't help but think of the scene where Mrs. Xuanhua chatted with her before:

"The most difficult thing about this archaeological project is actually the distribution of treasures." Mrs. 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 she actually agreed in her heart.

Mrs. Xuanhua said again:

"I have also seen many... monks who entered the secret realm together."

"According to me, 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 of them fell out."

Xiao Yuying understood 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 is not convinced - but you are weak!

But in the Nine Mountains Realm, it’s 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, it is not impossible to decide Zheng Fa's current status in the Nine Mountains Realm... but people's hearts are hard to say.

"As the saying goes, we can only share hardships, but not happiness." Mrs. Xuanhua's last words impressed Xiao Yuying deeply, "Sharing hardships naturally means that everyone suffers. It doesn't matter whether it's fair or unfair. We share joys and sorrows. It's difficult to be fair... !”

Xiao Yuying came back to her senses and looked at Zheng Fa with a curious look: How would Zheng Fa distribute these things?

…

Of course Zheng Fa knew what everyone was waiting for.

He thought for a moment and took out a pamphlet.

Everyone can see that there are seven characters "Principles of Loot Distribution" written on the cover of the booklet.

The hall was speechless for a moment, and everyone felt like they were used to it...

"This distribution principle was discussed and decided 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 by taking into account the opinions of all parties.

But if a system is set, no one should violate it.

Simply put, try to reach a consensus and act accordingly.

Seeing that everyone was silent, Zheng Fa opened the book and started reading:

"The first principle: knowledge sharing, treasure resources distributed according to work."

He paused, glanced at everyone present, saw that they were all nodding, and continued reading:

"Second principle: All trophies must be handed over to the sect first and must not be kept privately."

There was a strange expression on Xiao Yuying's face - this principle did not seem to please the monks.

After all, monk Xuanwei has never had high trust in the sect.

After listening, she understood why Zheng Fa did this:

"According to the value of the loot obtained, project team members will receive corresponding good deeds."

"All trophies will also be exchanged for good deeds."

Xiao Yuying spoke softly: "Why do you have to go around in a circle?"

Zheng Fa added a procedure for exchanging good deeds between the group members' contributions and the distribution of spoils.

Seeing her confusion, Zheng Fa smiled and said:

"This has several advantages: First, the number of trophies does not match the number of people. Even if they match, it may not match the efforts of the group members. Good deeds are more flexible."

As soon as she said this, Xiao Yuying suddenly realized:

This is actually the difference between bartering and using currency, which is more flexible and easier to calculate.

"Secondly, it's also because there are some trophies that we monks from the Nine Mountains Realm have no use for taking. They will be recorded as good deeds and they can 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, they seemed to think Zheng Fa was very considerate.

Xiao Yuying thought for a while and then asked: "Then how to determine the amount of personal good deeds?"

"Every link has a corresponding good deed."

"Who knows who did what at which point? Just by his own words?" Xiao Yuying asked again.

Zheng Fa smiled, pointed at the disciples who used the shadow charm before, and said, "Didn't we record the entire process?"

"..." Xiao Yuying's eyes widened, and then she understood why Zheng Fa had to use the photo charm 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 the "Loot Distribution Manual" and asked again: "Do you have any opinions?"

Everyone thought for a while and shook their heads slightly.

Zheng Fa also understood that it was not that this manual was perfect, but that this method was still relatively unfamiliar to these people... He couldn't think of any problems even though he was just thinking about it for a while.

Again, if there is a problem in the future, I will correct it.

"Okay..." Zheng Fa took out a catalog of items and said, "This is the harvest this time. The good deeds, Senior Sister Zhang and I can count them..."

He circulated the catalog of items to everyone, and seeing that everyone had no objections, he continued:

"Then start to evaluate personal good deeds..."

Zheng Fa threw a few shadow talismans, and a light curtain appeared in the main hall. In the screen of the light curtain, starting from the time when Senior Sister Zhang and others set off, until they killed the Nascent Soul of the Demon Sect, the entire archaeological process was detailed. , vividly remembered.

While the picture was playing, Senior Sister Zhang was explaining who among them did what and what role they played.

When it's finally over, everyone will understand...

"Do you have any objections to the distribution of this good deed?"

Zheng Fa recorded what Sister Zhang said and calculated his personal good deeds based on the proportion of good deeds in the "Distribution Principle".

When the name came out, the one who was most surprised... was Mu Qingyan.

She clearly ranked first and actually received the most good deeds!

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 completed.

As for the subsequent list, it’s normal:

Xiao Yuying was second, and Senior Sister Zhang was third. Behind each person's name was written what they had done, and how many good deeds they had done in each case, in extremely detailed terms.

No one has any opinions after reading it...it's not right either!

"I have an opinion!"

Mu Qingyan suddenly spoke.

"Um?"

The others looked at her and couldn't help but wonder... You are the first, what do you think?

"The leader has good leadership, and he is always concerned about our safety in the Nine Mountains Realm... Shouldn't we do more good deeds!"

"..."

Seeing Mu Qingyan with a face full of indignation, everyone was speechless - you deserve to be first!

Zheng Fa counted his good deeds, but they were really not many... He thought he had done little work.

…

Xiao Yuying walked to her yard, turned her steps, and went to Mrs. Xuanhua's yard first.

The two of them are now living in Jiushan, and they are familiar with each other. The courtyard is next to each other.

"What's wrong? You're thinking a lot..."

Xiao Yuying told what happened in the palace, and Mrs. Xuanhua raised her eyebrows, extremely surprised: "This method... is actually..."

It took a long time, but she didn't tell her why.

But Xiao Yuying nodded, obviously understanding what she meant - this method seemed to be able to be implemented for a long time.

Mrs. Xuanhua was silent for a long time, then suddenly murmured: "Do you think it would be better for me to join the Jiushan Sect directly?"

"Um?"

Xiao Yuying's eyes widened and she was surprised - Mrs. Xuanhua had never been willing to join a big force and only wanted to be a casual cultivator.

Otherwise, with her skill in refining weapons... she would have been respectfully treated as a guest of honor.

"I'm not thinking about this - I think the Jindan Project... I'm afraid it's not the end of Jiushan 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." Mrs. Xuanhua explained, "Now that he can be fair and just, this Nine Mountains world seems to be taking off. The momentum..."

Xiao Yuying blinked and suddenly realized that Mrs. Xuanhua could see more clearly than herself:

She had never thought carefully about the potential of the Nine Mountains Realm.

But speaking of it, there is no doubt about Zheng Fa's genius.

And the knowledge of Jiu Shan Realm is even more unfathomable.

What's more, everything Zheng Fa did was beneficial to the Jiushan world, and even invisibly guided all the Jiushan disciples to work together...

No matter how you look at it, Jiu Shan Realm has great potential!

Mrs. Xuanhua seemed to be thinking the same thing as her, and the hesitation on her face seemed to be increasingly replaced by determination.

…

Mu Qingyan returned to her yard, feeling a little excited - this good deed was really not a small fortune for her in the Qi refining period.

She frowned and was thinking secretly: Which secret realm should I talk about next?

After thinking about it, she was still a little troubled:

... Can I bear the reputation of the Yuan Ying Patriarch?

…

"There's something weird about the water mansion..."

Senior Sister Zhang suddenly found Zheng Fa with a serious look on her face, obviously in a bad mood.

"What's weird?"

Zheng Fa was confused, but he thought of Mu Qingyan's previous warning - there seemed to be a conspiracy in the Tianhe ruins.

Neither he nor Senior Sister Zhang have forgotten this.

Senior Sister Zhang brought Zheng Fa to a laboratory, where the earth, stones and bricks collected from the water house were placed.

Xiao Yuying is also here.

"The treasure gourd is real, and the "Tianhe Zhengfa" 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 this water palace imitates the appearance of the previous era, but..."

Senior Sister Zhang pointed to a green brick and said: "This kind of green brick is made by turning mud into stone. This method... has been improved in recent years to make such bricks. I asked Fairy Xiao , there should be no such material in the last era..."

"..."

Zheng Fa tasted the product and understood what Senior Sister Zhang meant:

Those treasures and techniques may be from the last era...

But this water mansion... was probably 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 her heart: "You are a normal monk, you won't knock two bricks out of other people's bricks..."

Just knock, and also research what technology is used to make it...

Unheard of!

It was depressing to say that she claimed to have a clear understanding of the secret realms of various 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...

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 Jiushan Sect and Zheng Fa don’t follow common sense!

…

"If someone arranged this water mansion, what would he do for it?"

Zheng Fa frowned and asked Senior Sister Zhang.

"...We can only know that it has something to do with Lord 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, that was indeed the case. After all, Venerable Tianhe probably didn’t leave many friends behind, but he was full of enemies...

"Then if there is any means, I'm afraid it's still in the water mansion!" Zheng Fa looked a little unpredictable, and he continued, "Although the gourd and the "True Law of Tianhe" are also suspected, the most suspicious thing should be the stone!"

Senior Sister Zhang also understood what Zheng Fa said - the rocks were so conspicuous that they seemed to have been deliberately placed in the water mansion, but they had no aura at all.

Zheng Fa, along with Senior Sister Zhang and others, surrounded the black rocks and couldn't figure out what was going on for a while.

"No response..."

Uncle Pang took back his spiritual power angrily, seeming a little disappointed.

The elder man 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 mountain rock, and its value is hard to calculate.

But everyone is not a fool - this thing may have something to do with Lord Tianhe!

According to the principle of knowledge sharing, this thing can now be understood by everyone in the Nine Mountains Realm. These Nascent Soul Masters naturally took the lead...

Just now, even Master Huang, who was always calm, gave it a try.

None of them saw anything false or true.

"Are you afraid that it was... drawn randomly?"

Uncle Pang muttered.

"Zheng Fa!"

The old man suddenly pointed at Zheng Fa, and the meaning behind his words was clear!

Everyone looked at Zheng Fa - at this time, it was time for the real genius to appear!

Zheng Fa is actually quite guilty.

He looked at the sword mark and thought for a moment, this thing... seems difficult to analyze using modern science...

After looking at it for a long time, he couldn't figure out the reason. Zheng Fa followed Master Pang's example and immersed his spiritual power into the rocks. Sure enough, there was no reaction.

But when he touched the rock with his soul, an old friend suddenly moved in the sea of ​​​​consciousness——

Yin Yang Fish Jade Pendant!

The yin and yang fish on the jade pendant hug each other head to tail and spin rapidly.

The rocks in front of Zheng Fa changed even more——

It emitted bursts of cyan light, as if it had turned into beautiful jade.

The sword marks were swimming like fish.

Seeing this change, the elders and 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... 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.

The elders and the others were completely confused.

But Zheng Fa can understand it!

He recognized the yin and yang fish in the sea, 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.

From then on, 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 Zheng Fa had expected the last scene...

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 shake his mind and caught him off guard:

"Jiuyou is right!"

Zheng Fa almost couldn't believe his eyes, and read the sentence again to confirm that he had read it correctly.

At this time, he also understood that this mountain stone was probably something that Venerable Tianhe left to everyone in Jade Pendant.

Zheng Fa didn’t quite understand what the previous sketch was trying to express.

But this sentence - almost shattered Zheng Fa’s impression of Tianhe Venerable.

He always felt that Tianhe Venerable had full faith in his own path.

And he probably had a deep hatred with the Demon Ancestors of the Demon Sect.

But this sentence showed two things -

First, Tianhe Venerable felt that he was wrong.

Second, Tianhe Venerable and Jiuyou Demon Ancestor seemed to have a good relationship...

This sentence even gave him a feeling of mental collapse.

He looked down and saw the second sentence:

“Don’t learn from me, learning from me will only make you become me...”

Zheng Fa was even more surprised. It seemed that Tianhe Venerable had suffered a great blow.

You know, most cultivators leave inheritance to their descendants, hoping that their descendants can learn more of their own things...

Who would say this like Tianhe Venerable?

Until the end, it was the main body of the general inheritance: a practice method.

No...it should be called an incomplete method: "Nine-turn Golden Elixir Method"

Why is it incomplete:

Because there is no actual method except a general outline.

To put it simply, it is missing the first turn, the second turn, the third turn...all the way to the ninth turn...

At the end of the method, Zheng Fa also saw that Tianhe Venerable said a lot of things. After a little translation, the meaning is roughly as follows:

The general outline of this Golden Elixir Method is my life-long summary of the Golden Elixir cultivation method.

Although I have created my own Nine-turn Golden Elixir Method, this method is only suitable for me, not for later generations.

Since there is a general outline, the Nine-turn Golden Elixir Method of later generations should be very simple...

...

Zheng Fa now understands why Tianhe Sect betrayed Tianhe Venerable...

But...why is Tianhe Venerable so taboo about passing down specific methods?

Zheng Fa thought about it and felt that he might be wrong about something:

Is it really just hatred that the immortal sect reformed or abandoned Tianhe Method?
