I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Chapter 569 The Perspective of Heaven
The seniors learned about the effects of merit in advance from Senior Ziyang, and were struggling with the pressure of deducting nine points to achieve successful merit.

This is also because Senior Ziyang is not the City God, and he did not know very well about the internal affairs of Heaven's reward for merit, which led to this result.

However, the goal of most seniors is not to become gods, but to rely on inheritance to make up for the merits deducted by consuming the world's resources in this life, turn negative merits into positive ones, and be able to continue reincarnation, so that the true spirit will not dissipate at the end of this life. That's it.

A teacher teaching his disciples and imparting knowledge are also good deeds.

If the apprentice uses the knowledge and ability taught by the teacher to do good deeds and obtain merit rewards, the teacher can also obtain merit rewards from heaven.

The greater the disciple's good deeds are influenced by the teachings, the greater the good results will be, and the more merits he will gain.

If you mislead others and teach others to do evil, it is also an evil act and causes bad consequences, and your merits will also be punished by heaven.

However, the content taught is positive principles, or skills that are indifferent to good and evil. Even if the apprentice takes it as evil, God will not deduct the merits of the master.

Because the Master’s teachings only caused bad consequences, but the Master himself is not disgusting, and the teaching behavior is not evil.

The seniors of Xianhui Dongtian select disciples with profound merits in order to obtain more rewards for their merits.

However, what surprised her was that the identity, status, and wealth of the do-gooder were not within the standards used by heaven to determine the amount of reward and punishment.

Compared with good intentions, good deeds and good results are much easier to understand.

The range of good deeds and good consequences ranges from small to large to individuals, groups and the world.

The larger the scope and the higher the degree, the more abundant the merits rewarded by heaven.

It may take many times to get some merit.

It's not like you can get 1 point of merit by handing a copper plate to a beggar.

If you just have a kind heart, help someone, and provide temporary convenience to others, even if you have a kind heart, good deeds, and good results, the merits rewarded by heaven will be minimal.

From low to high degree, it is temporary convenience, affects destiny, affects life and death.

Song Yushan also understood why when she was a child, she was philanthropic and often gave alms to beggars on the street. Why did she only have 1 point of merit when the jade seal of merit was opened.

The amount of rewards and punishments is roughly determined based on this standard.

If a poor person and a rich person give a coin to a beggar out of kindness, and get good results, they will receive the same merit reward.

To Heaven, the group of living beings is more important than the individual, and the world that holds the living beings is more important than the living beings themselves.

It’s not that her act of charity is not implemented and does not count as a good deed.

After more than ten years of accumulation, she only had one point of merit.

Teaching a man to fish is not as good as giving someone a temporary convenience. It is better to teach a man to fish than to change the fate of others. To change the fate of others is not as good as to save a life when life and death are at stake.

Good deeds are positive things for others or the world, and good consequences are positive results for others or the world.

It's because her charity can only relieve one beggar and provide him with food and clothing for a while. The scope and degree of good results of her good deeds are small and low, and she can only get a little merit reward at a time.

The merit rewards for saving a person are the same for mortals and monks.

But there is only one difference between the poor and the rich, mortals and monks on the level of heaven: the amount of world resources consumed.

Everything that living things need to survive and grow are world resources. Breathing, practicing, eating, clothing, housing and transportation, as long as we exist in this world, we are constantly consuming resources.

A poor person consumes less of the world's resources in his lifetime than a rich person.

A mortal's life consumes less world resources than a monk.

The process of living beings consuming the world's resources is, in the eyes of heaven, an evil that should punish meritorious deeds.

So the more you have, the more you consume, and the more merit you deduct in the end.

However, Song Yushan doesn’t quite understand that for the world, living beings consume resources to survive, which is an evil deed, causing the loss of world resources, and has evil consequences. But there is no evil intention, so how can it be judged as an evil that requires deducting merit? ?

Isn’t it a combination of disgust, evil deeds, and evil consequences that counts as a great evil, and will God punish it?
Song Yushan found the answer to this question after turning to the evil chapter.

Creatures have the instinct to snatch resources to survive. As long as they want to survive and consciously consume resources, they have the intention to do evil.

Therefore, although mortals are weak in power and have a short lifespan, because they consume less resources and deduct less merit, they may accumulate more merit than monks after their last reincarnation.

Song Yushan read the book with great interest, and gradually understood how Heaven treats all living beings. His perspective changed, and he was able to understand the various regulations in the Code of Merit and Virtue of Heaven.

Unfortunately, time did not allow her to continue reading.

The bell in Meng Po's village rang again, and a real spirit came.

Song Yushan had to go back to serving soup. After all, he was getting a part-time salary.

"Yushan, let me do it. I can still make soup!" Tong Ranran was embarrassed to see her working alone, but she was reading a book beside her.

"No! You concentrate on completing your novice task. The faster you complete it, the better, the higher my guide task evaluation will be."

Guide the new Po Meng, but what is written in the trial task notes is related to her trial issues.

In order to save some trouble and time, it would affect Tong Ranran's novice task completion speed, which is a small gain.

Originally, during the novice mission, the gods did not need to take on any work.

Otherwise, Tiandao would not have allowed her to guide the new Po Meng and at the same time give her a part-time task and double her salary.

Making soup, serving soup, and dividing soup are indeed her job now. She cannot shirk it, let alone ask her to help at the expense of taking up Tong Ranran's study time.

"Okay!" Seeing her insistence, Tong Ranran could only agree: "I will study the materials as soon as possible, try to complete the novice tasks as soon as possible, and take on the responsibility of Goddess Meng!"

Song Yushan nodded: "If you don't understand anything, just ask me!"

After that, the two of them still maintained their previous state.

Tong Ranran concentrated on completing the novice tasks of God Meng Po, and Song Yushan only found time to read the study materials of City God when she had free time to complete the work of God Meng Po.

But Tong Ranran would stay in the soup house and work with Song Yushan, regardless of whether he could help or not.

Song Yushan also taught Tong Ranran all the experience and learning methods he had accumulated from many theoretical assessments, saving her the effort of trial and error.

With both time and correct method guidance and ready answers to questions, Tong Ranran's learning progress was very fast.

In twenty-five years, I have devoured the basic information book, completed various theoretical assessments of Goddess Meng, and started [Novice Task: Skill Practice].
