Chapter 57 Hall of Merit, Darkness under the Lamp
The Hall of Merits is crowded with people.
You should know that Qingyun City is an outpost next to Qingyun Mountains. Many spiritualists or adventure teams who return in the mountains are redeemed for their merits in the Water Temple of Qingyun City.
When there are many people, you need to queue up.
For example, now, Yunlang and Miao Lihui are at the end of the line.
Among the people queuing, there were not only those who were water-based spirits, but also those who were four-type spirits of gold, wood, fire and earth.
The other four spiritual people in the series are not believers of the water gods, so why can they enter the water god temple?
There is a long-standing story here.
The open and secret struggle between the five main gods for believers has lasted for nearly a thousand years.
The Taizu of the Tianlong Kingdom was able to establish a country, and the support of the Water Temple was behind it.
The so-called freedom of belief is only aimed at the spirits, and ordinary people have no choice.
You should know that the spiritists are selected from a hundred times, and most ordinary people do not have spiritual power. The common people in the Tianlong Kingdom must believe in the water god, which is equivalent to the Water God Temple occupying 99% of the believers in this country.
This is basically the case in all countries in the human world. It is not difficult to tell who is the boss behind the scenes from the name of the country.
After all, we have to join forces to resist the invasion of the spirit race, and the five main gods have also reached an agreement to give spirits of different attributes a way out.
For example, the four-type spirits in the Tianlong Kingdom, although they are not believers of the Water God, they can also make achievements in the Water God Temple.
By the same token, the Great Yan Kingdom believes in the Fire God, and the other four spirits can also exchange spirit beasts for merit in the Fire God Temple.
The queue in front of me was in order, and no one dared to make loud noises within the Water Temple, so they could only communicate in a low voice.
Yun Lang pricked up his ears and heard all kinds of interesting stories.
This year is the 999th year of the Divine Calendar, and it is also the 999th year of the five major gods who have established the world. The Eastern countries not only unified the calendar, but also unified the language.
Thousands of years ago, the languages of various countries were strange and it was too inconvenient to communicate. Until the first year of the Shenli period, a common oriental language began to become popular. The language that spread rapidly in the eastern country of China had a loud title: Shenzhou Mandarin.
Even the ancestors who migrated to Heilong Island a hundred and eighty years ago spoke this kind of official words. Therefore, the little dragon was able to communicate with Miao Lihui without barriers and went to Bishui Paradise. He could understand the scolding of the fat woman in red, and could look back with Mo. Brother Xiaosha was very happy.
Gradually, it was finally Yunlang's turn.
The Hall of Merits is very large, similar to a large warehouse, with various corpses of spirit beasts placed.
Eight clergymen are sorting out different types of spirit beasts, stamping a seal with each other, and putting them into the water spirit mirror embedded on the wall.
It's strange that those stamped spirit beasts stuffed into the mirror, like mud cows entering the sea, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
The deacon Ma who was responsible for receiving Yun Lang had the usual style of a clergy. He was neither arrogant nor enthusiastic. He said tepidly: "Young Master Yun, the eighth-grade third-level deep-sea shark, is well preserved. Each one recovers three thousand merits, totaling 24,000 contributions."
Happiness came too suddenly, Yun Lang couldn't help but curiously said: "In Bishui Paradise, the eighth-grade third-level spirit beast, didn't it only recycle 300 meritorious deeds?"
Deacon Ma explained: "The spirit beasts recovered by Bishui Heaven disappeared in place, aiming to temper all spirits. There are differences in reality. The spirit beasts you bring are all real gold and silver. Our Water Temple will not let believers suffer losses, so the recycling price is ten times higher than that of Bishui Heaven."
Yun Lang suddenly realized and exclaimed: "It's very fair."
Deacon Ma’s serious face rarely smiled: “According to local rules, every time a foreigner receives a thousand merits, you can stay for a month. If you have twenty-four thousand merits, you can stay for a temporary period of twenty-four months in Qingyun City, which is exactly two years.”
Yun Lang was stunned: "You can't use these merits to exchange for things?"
Deacon Ma had seen Yun Lang's waist card and explained to the overseas young man patiently: "The Water Temple only records the number of merits you have accumulated, just like the accumulated merits you have in the trial land. As for the merits you have obtained, it is up to you to decide how to spend them. If you do not intend to exchange spiritual weapons and elixirs, it is okay to convert them into silver coins. A little merit is equivalent to a silver coin in the Tianlong Kingdom."
Yun Lang was overjoyed: "That's great, I want to change to a ninth-grade Qiankun bag, two more weapons and a set of armor."
Deacon Ma cooperated very well and guided the boy to complete the exchange through explanation.
The price of props in the Water Temple is exactly the same as the Merit Building of Bishui Paradise.
Yun Lang first changed to a ninth-grade Qiankun bag and spent ten thousand merits.
The Qiankun bag in the Water Temple can also be selected in color and shape. He specially chose a small Qiankun bag with blue and white, which hangs it around his waist, and looks like a sachet.
Blue sky and white clouds are the favorite colors of teenagers.
The little dragon, who had no friends in the village before, often stared at the sky in a daze.
He changed to another ninth-grade cloud-piercing bow and ten cloud-piercing arrows, spending 2,000 merits.
Next is a set of sky-blue ninth-grade first-level spiritual armor, which consumes a thousand merits.
As for the choice of melee weapons, the little dragon has carefully considered it.
He still has 11,000 merits left and can be exchanged for eighth-grade first-level spiritual weapons.
The eighth-grade initial spiritual weapon is worth 10,000 merits and an increase of 40% of its power. The entry-level ninth-grade spiritual weapon only requires 1,000 merits and an increase of 20,000 merits and augmented 20,000 merits and 30% of its power.
The little dragon is now very confident in his combat power, so he plans to change to a ninth-grade spiritual weapon first.
Save the remaining merits and exchange them for silver coins to prepare for buying a large ship in the future.
In the past, his criterion for judging a knife was whether he could cut down trees.
Now, it depends on whether you can insert your eyes.
Yun Lang picked up the weapon stand for the ninth-grade sword-like spiritual weapon, and chose the big treasure sword he liked.
The knife has two fingers wide and the blade is straight.
From a distance, it looks more like a sword.
The difference between it and the double-edged sword is that the sword opens on one side and the back is thicker.
This thing was once a popular single-knife style in the Eastern China, and has a general name - Tang Dao!
This Tang sword is a hand-training work by a weapon refiner. It has no exclusive name and adds 20% of the sword power, which makes Yun Lang more satisfied.
When necessary, this knife can be used as a black iron heavy sword.
The Tang sword that was sold for the past meritorious Tang sword and the matching scabbard. Considering that the Qiankun bag cannot be used after the Water Temple, Yun Lang hung the Tang sword at his waist, and for the first time in his life, he officially wore a sword.
Those who have obtained the Spiritual Badge can wear weapons in the city, and his behavior of being a slutty person is not considered a violation of the rules.
The remaining ten thousand merits are all broken.
At the suggestion of the tiger captain, nine thousand silver coins were exchanged for one thousand maximum denomination silver notes, and stuffed into the blue and white Qiankun bag. The remaining one thousand silver coins were exchanged for nine hundred small silver notes, and nine hundred small silver notes were exchanged for one hundred and stuffed into the sleeve bag, and the last one hundred silver coins were put into a small cloth bag, making it more convenient to shop.
The task was completed, and Mr. Yun had not immediately had the intention. He looked at the pile of corpses of the spirit beasts being stamped and said weakly: "Deacon, I have never seen many spirit beasts. Can I let me take a look and touch them?"
This kind of requirement is not in accordance with the rules, and most people would definitely be scolded if they ask him. Fortunately, Deacon Ma greeted Guan Qiu and took special care of this "unique" overseas believer: "You will not lose any meat when you look at it. You can take a look at it. It doesn't matter if you touch it. You must not move the spiritual beast."
"Great, thank you!"
Yunlang thanked him while doing an experiment.
He walked over, found the corpses of strange-shaped spirit beasts, and pressed his head and touched him.
I'm afraid even the supreme water god would never have imagined that someone would dare to play with the darkness of the light in the water god temple.
There was movement in the black book deep in the young man's soul.
