The first thing the cloud waves see is the line.

In a space without boundaries and colors, trillions of silk threads are densely covered.

There are many kinds of lines, some thick, some thin, some long, some short, the colors that Yun Chongbo knows, can be found on these lines, and the colors that Yun Chongbo has never seen will be listed here one by one.

This space is infinite, but this line also seems to be infinite, looking in any direction, you can only see the boundless, can not see the end of the space, and what will be stuffed into this space is these lines that no one knows how many numbers.

The extension of the line is different, some suddenly turn diagonally down, seriously injuring or simply stabbing other threads, some gradually twisting with other threads, and finally turning into one, continuing to extend towards the unknown front, and some with the side of the thread, after walking parallel for a long time, in the end they still have to separate their own forward.

Slowly follow each thread to see their source: the head of each thread also occurs on another line, and in some lines, more than one branch will be generated.

Space is infinite, lines are infinite.

Here, there is no wind, no light, nothing but "space" and "line".

However, it cannot be asserted that there is no life here, because each thread is slowly wriggling and growing in front of it, and although many of the thin threads begin to stiffen and stop growing after a certain period of time, if one looks at them as a whole, one can see that they are indeed constantly growing.

Non-stop, growing.

"The undead...... Your line, not here. ”

Turning around sharply, I saw that behind me was the picture of Shifu, but it was obviously extremely unreal, translucent, and there was a faint blue light on the upper and lower parts of the body.

"After I cultivated the Cause and Effect Break, I found this ......"

Still in the same tired voice, Shi Futu told Yun Chongbo that he couldn't explain how this space came into being, and he couldn't explain how he got here.

"But I know, what are these lines...... They are cause and effect. ”

One line is one person, one line is a lifetime, and that day, Shi Futu was shocked by his discovery: it was after the original spirit went out of the body and saw the eight million worlds, he never experienced it again.

"Naturally, the power of my physical body, the one who can see, is only one life of cause and effect...... Three lives and six lives, a hundred generations of reincarnation, I am far from being able to grasp it. ”

Quietly looking at his palm, Shi Futu added: "But, at least, I can already put an end to anyone's 'this life' in this world." ”

Pointing in a certain direction at will, Shi Futu said: "As long as his line is torn here." ”

Instead, he calmed down, and Yun Chongbo said quietly: "So, Buddha, you brought me here?" Do you want to cut off my cause and effect in this life? ”

Laughing slightly, Shi Futu said: "Cause and effect in this life...... Immortal, do you really have this thing? ”

Suddenly, he pointed to the dots, as if to mark something very small in the distance, and said: "O immortal, please see clearly, isn't that your causal line...... Isn't that broken thread that has long since broken and no longer grows, and that there is no longer the slightest bit of life, your cause and effect? ”

"That's why I can't see your fate...... Undead, you're already a dead person! ”

His face finally changed greatly, all of this was completely beyond Yun Chongbo's acceptance, although he knew that he was "different" from others, and gradually felt that there were indeed some effects of Jinzhou's posthumous rebirth that he had not yet grasped, but Yun Chongbo could not have imagined that his cause and effect had already ended?

(In this world, then, I am already dead...... If you're still alive, am I still the one who is still alive? ）

The first thing that came to mind was whether this would be related to the shocking power of the Taiping people, and then he thought about whether this could be due to the special life of the undead that made Shi Futu misjudge, and then, Yun Chongbo had already thought of the point.

"Now that my causal line has been broken......

Calming down as much as possible, Yun Chongbo stared at Shi Futu and said, "Buddha, is it still necessary for you to keep me here?" ”

I really wanted to control myself, but in the end, Yun Chongbo couldn't help but add a sentence. "Perhaps, you still have time to bring Zhu Hong in!"

Such vicious sarcasm is not what Yun Chongbo is good at, and after saying it, he also has a slight uneasiness and self-blame, but when he thinks that with Shi Futu's identity and name, he will take the initiative to sneak attack him, Yun Chongbo feels a lot more at ease.

"He's Daohong...... The turbid world white lotus, vowing to build a pure land, he just went the wrong way for a while. ”

Stubbornly corrected, Shi Futu suddenly let out a violent cough, extremely painful, Yun Chongbo even felt that he definitely saw a dark liquid coughing out of his mouth, but, as soon as he left his body, those things quickly disappeared, and he couldn't see clearly.

"And, the undead ......"

Suddenly, with a slightly smug smile, Shi Futu said: "As early as a moment in Qingzhou, I can 'be sure' that you are dead...... And where do you have to know now? ”

"Well, you ......"

I was really stunned at this moment, but I saw Shi Futu slowly raise his hand and said: "On the day when the cause and effect were first formed, I was terrified...... Because what I asked for was originally a move that would not attack, hurt or regret, but I created this blow that must be achieved and killed...... For an indecisive person like me, this is simply a punishment from the Buddha. ”

After entering the world of cause and effect for the first time, Shi Futu was only excited for a short time, and then fell into a long period of confusion: he would kill with a shot, and it was the most complete cut off the cause and effect of this life, which meant that he would never have a chance to regret it or make amends.

"I don't know what the Buddha is asking of me, I only have a chance once in a lifetime, and there is no way to get back if I give up...... Such a difficult choice, Buddha, what does the Buddha want me to do? ”

No matter how enviable his position was, no matter how unattainable his position was, Shi Futu, he had never been happy about all this. He had made only a few decisions in his life, and each time the result of those decisions was something he regretted and hurt himself first.

"This question has been haunting me for a long time...... Until, I met you in Qingzhou. ”

Finally, a relaxed and relieved smile appeared, and Shi Futu said word for word: "Before that, I never thought that there would be a living dead...... So, I never thought that it could be used in this way. ”

The technique changed again, and countless magic seals were drawn, and one by one was smashed into Yun Chongbo's body, and Shi Futu said astringently: "Immortal, please remember this trick." ”

In this dark and gray-blue world, each text drawn by Shi Futu emitted a gentle and pure pale golden light, and even linked with each other to form a huge robe, which slowly draped down to Yun Chongbo's body, and relying on the simple knowledge he learned in the snow region back then, Yun Chongbo found that the few words he could recognize were actually anti-texts like a mirror image.

"And take the cause of the past life, and then you will have the fate of this life, and the effect of the future will be restored...... The immortal, there is no shore in the sea, why not watch the sea, rush the waves, and listen to the waves! ”

Break the attachment * reverse, cause and effect!

Seeing Shi Futu's body shrink rapidly, he also felt as if something was using the Sanskrit heavenly clothes as a medium to rapidly pour into his body, but what surprised Yun Chongbo the most was that he actually saw that the causal line that belonged to him, the remnant line that had long been broken and dead, was also glowing with a faint golden light, and began to grow again.

(Immortal, you are already a person in this world, destined to be lonely in this life, I will help you to get married to the world today, I only wish...... ）

I couldn't hear what Shi Futu was saying anymore, because the impact that poured into his body became stronger and stronger, making Yun Chongbo begin to be dizzy, unable to see or hear...... And when he can finally see and hear clearly, the eyes ...... It's already Lianyin Lake.

"Please, bring it to my apprentice."

Suddenly, Yun Chongbo realized that he had left the world of cause and effect, but he saw that Shi Futu seemed to be dozens of years old: haggard and formless, dove-faced and goosebumps, unrecognizable to the direct teaching, although the bleeding had stopped, but, no matter how you look at it, it seems that it is because it has no flow.

"What to bring?"

Coughing with difficulty, Shi Futu stabbed his finger into his forehead, and when he pulled it out, he was already holding a dazzling bead, which was faintly on it, as if there were words, Yun Chongbo didn't have the heart to look at it carefully at the moment, seeing Shi Futu handing over the bead, he unconsciously reached out and took it, and said: "This, is it handed over to Senior Brother Void......" I remembered the question just now, such a big event, why didn't Void attend the meeting?

"Not the Void!"

There was a sudden look of anxiety on his face, and Shi Futu coughed: "Yes, it's my female apprentice......"

The voice gradually became smaller, and Shi Futu said: "She, she should be in Guadu......" The words were so weak that they were almost inaudible, and Yun Chongbo had enough ear strength to hear the last few words he said turned out to be: "Be careful...... Void! ”

In a daze, Yun Chongbo lost his mind, but when he saw that Shi Futu seemed to have a spirit again, he raised his voice and said: "All good sons! ”

A dry, faint sound echoed in front of Lianyin Temple, echoing over Xingyue Lake, mixed with a violent cough in the middle. Even Zhu Hong didn't make any more moves, just stood there quietly. Yun Chongbo was at a loss, but he listened to Shi Futu and said with difficulty: "I heard that the Buddha crosses all sentient beings, only, compassion ......" suddenly felt a heavy hand, and when he came back to his senses, he saw Shi Futu's body sinking and falling on his arm, and when he probed his nose sharply, he was no longer breathing.

---- one of the eight poles of heaven and earth, the length of Buddhism in the world, the interpretation of the floating map, and the death.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The impact of the fall of Shi Fu Tu, like a huge wave, swept across the whole world, each force has activated the highest level of intelligence personnel, and strive to know as many details as possible, according to past experience, Confucianism and the Thirteen Yamen are naturally the two most capable and efficient, but, this time, Taiping Dao unexpectedly took the lead, when Zhu Zhong was still cross-verifying the intelligence from different sources, when Zigong was still painstakingly deducing what Shi Fu Tu was thinking, a clear and specific report, It has been placed in front of Yuqing.

"He actually went to Guadu?"

When he saw this report, Yuqing's first reaction was annoyance, and Gai Yinyun Chongbo only sent back what he had seen and heard through the most advanced intelligence channels, but he clearly stated in the report that he was going to go to Guadu first.

"It's really a bit troublesome to be single at this time."

He Lingbing frowned and expressed her opinion: The latest news, the imperial capital military order has been issued, the armies of all walks of life have been drawn out of camp, and there have been small-scale battles in the marginal areas controlled by many Taiping Dao, and there are also signs of imminent movement in several areas where the southern states have been suppressed.

"But since it's the Buddha's request, I have to do it."

Xiao Wenshuang softened his cheeks: Although Yun Chongbo did not tell the monks of the requirements of the Shifu Tu, he sent the word back to let the Taiping people know, so that Yuqing and the others knew that Yun Chongbo was carrying the last entrustment of the Shifu Tu. But...... She didn't know that after careful consideration, Yun Chongbo still concealed the strange warning of "be careful of the void", and as for the admonition of "watching the sea and listening to the waves", it was even more closely treasured.

"But, this day."

Frowning, Yuqing was still not very happy: the reason why Yun Chongbo went lightly this time was because Shi Futu's personal invitation could not be refused, and secondly, he was especially comfortable in life, he went to Lianyin Temple this time for a total of fifteen days, and if he hurried back again, it was the time when Taiping Dao should have gathered all kinds of information and the initial mobilization was roughly completed, the original plan was that Yuqing would convene a pre-war meeting after his return and make an overall deployment for the next stage of strategy, but now ......

"It is not far from Wulin to Guadu, but the direction is more and more deviated, and it will have to be delayed for another twelve or three days, plus the days of return...... By the time the undead returned, preparations for war were almost complete...... If you don't communicate with him in advance, how can many things be arranged? ”

This sentence is actually more of an emotional statement: although his status is extremely high, Yun Chongbo has always put his position very low, whether it is for high-level Taoists such as Yuqing and Shenpan Ba Fraud, or for countless middle and lower-level people in the Tao, he has a "listening" attitude, although he often puts forward opinions and suggestions on various matters, but they all stop at internal discussions, and always pay attention to maintaining Yuqing's status and image when facing ordinary Taoists. And in this case, with Xiao He's second daughter's understanding of him, she doesn't believe that he will be the kind of person who resists decision-making just because he didn't participate in the discussion. Yuqing also knew it in his heart, counted a few words, and said: "Let's do this first, the immortal Jiren has his own natural appearance, and it won't be in the way if he wants to come......" looked at the time leak on one side, and said: "Let's teach the new department to come in?" ”

He Lingbing agreed, got up with Xiao Wenshuang to say goodbye, and went out to say hello, but said with a smile: "Hurry up if you have something, there are many things to do today." ”

Chen Xinke is also one of the important cadres of Southern Taiping Road. Since the Taiping Dao got up, it has gradually turned into a wartime system, Yuqing has divided the southern Daoists into nine royals and eighty-three parties, Chen Xinke is the head of the Ming Dynasty, with nearly 10,000 Daoists under his jurisdiction, more than 1,000 soldiers and horses, and is known as 10,000 Dao soldiers to the outside world, and the momentum is not small.

The two daughters walked side by side for a while, gossiping - they were not children, and finally they still turned the conversation back to the upcoming war, at this time, the information of Taiping Road had also been gathered, and both of them knew that most of the imperial army was led by Emperor Mufeng, and they both wondered.

"Speaking of which, that Zhao Xiangxian really seems to have lost the emperor's heart, he was a general for many years, but he failed to lead the army twice in a row, the previous time it was just that, this time the battle is very important, that Shaojing actually made a scholar handsome, I don't know if it is someone else, or really love the young son......"

Xiao Wenshuang frowned, thinking hard, but heard He Lingbing smile lightly: "Is there another possibility that you haven't thought about it?" Unconsciously stunned: "Tell me to listen? ”

He Lingbing smiled very slyly, and said: "Or, is someone worried that if he is in charge, he will be soft-hearted for a while, and indulge in the battle......" Xiao Wenshuang understood, and said: "Talking about things seriously, talking nonsense again!" ”

What kind of friendship she had with He Lingbing, she had nothing to say, and she also told her about the "marriage proposal" that made people cry and laugh first, and now He Lingbing remembered it, so she made fun of it.

After a few jokes, He Lingbing said: "Maybe it's just a little bit to balance the second son, after all, he is now losing his skills, like a waste person, the ancient emperor's family is based on strength but not morality, I have never heard of a waste person can sit firmly in the country......" thought about it and said: "There are also rumors that although it is Zhao Mufeng who leads the army, it is Zhao Xiangxian who is the one who is the one who is the one who is the leader." ”

Nodding, Xiao Wenshuang said: "Yes, this may also be an opportunity for us......" Saying that, he looked up unconsciously, and saw the stars in the sky, the Milky Way was horizontal, and the sight was endless, and it was deep and unfathomable.

"The war is imminent, and the two sons are sent to divide the key areas, one is in charge of money and grain, and the other is to command the soldiers and horses, but he declares that he will establish a reserve within the year...... What is this trying to do? ”

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Emperor Shaojing was the third melon in the beginning of July in the twelfth year

Yun Chongbo is already in Guadu.

…… Troubled, unbearable.

He knew that Guadu was once a big city, but he didn't expect it to be so big, he knew that Guadu had already fallen, but he didn't expect it to be so defeated...... And most importantly, he knew that there were many temples in Guadu, but he didn't expect that there were so many!

(No wonder that Guanyin maid is running here...... What the hell is this place! ）

It may be an exaggeration to say that there are three steps and one temple and five steps and one view, and it may be an exaggeration to say that you can smash a bald cow's nose with a random throw of a brick, but if you look in that direction, you can always see the cigarette curling and hear the murmuring, and if you walk a few steps, you can see that there are simple Buddhist shrines and incense cases in the open space, enshrined in a mess of various gods, and monks and Taoists who shuttle like butterflies and bees, who are busy collecting as much faith as possible from the residents.

"Who made such a big deal happen here last year...... Alas, a lot of people have died inexplicably, and inexplicably there is nothing to do, the key is that there is no explanation for some reason...... If you don't let everyone worship a Buddha or believe in a god or something, how will you live? ”

It seemed to be sad and compassionate, but the smile on Hua Shengrong's face that never faded betrayed him mercilessly: in fact, since he entered Guadu, his eyes have become brighter and brighter, almost like stars in the sky.

"Wow, Qisheng, it's you, haven't you been selling medicine in the north...... Oh oh, okay, okay, everybody's rich. ”

"Big hair? You're a gold-touching bucket who also pretends to be a monk? I said, do you have a bit of professional ethics, pretending to be a monk has to be like a monk, look at your obscene eyes, and this obscene manners...... what is this? Let me see...... Your sister, who helped you draw the scar? Go and kill him, it's a bunch of little turtles! ”

Greeting all the way like this, Yun Chongbo was stunned to find that among the monks and Taoist leaders on the street, Hua Shengrong was able to call out the names of a small number of people, and he looked extremely affectionate, and one by one he held hands and patted his shoulders to ask for warmth. And many of the rest of the people do not know each other, but they seem to know his name very well, as soon as they hear the word "Hua Shengrong", even if there is no "bow down", they are all very respectful, and a few seem to be wary, but immediately after learning his identity, they invited him to join the gang "Rich and Wealthy".

“…… Ah, asked! ”

It was easy to walk through a place with less open space, Yun Chongbo saw that there was a serious jungle in front of him, and was thinking "I don't know if it will be a nunnery, that Guanyin maid had better place an order here......" but he heard Hua Shengrong shout, and he actually rushed over with great surprise, and clasped hands with the monk at the door, and had the meaning of "choking and speechless".

"I said, didn't you find a fat sheep to be a guest? Why did you go into the water again? I think your old path is very promising. ”

"Phew, don't mention it!"

The thin and thin monk spit out a mouthful of spit angrily, scolded and scolded: "Lao Tzu was originally mixed well, that Lao Zhu is really obedient to us, enough to eat and drink, enough to sister, even in heaven and earth, from time to time can let Lao Tzu follow to spend a while, who would have thought that in the first half of the year, I don't know if I committed that road Tai Sui, people die one after another...... thought that Lao Zhu was a blessed person, but he didn't blink and survived...... That mother-in-law has no idea, how can our family serve such a character, and would rather re-enter the rivers and lakes......"

This is a lively eye, and he doesn't stop looking at Yun Chongbo when he speaks: he looks at Yun Chongbo with a rather strange expression, if he is a disciple, he obviously has no respect for Hua Shengrong, if he is a fat sheep, Hua Shengrong is not taboo when he speaks. The time was calculated in his stomach, but he saw Yun Chongbo smiling suddenly, and took the initiative to arch his hand: "What is this brother called?" ”

The monk hurriedly said: "The poor monk dreams of staying, ask the donor ......" but saw Yun Chongbo staring at him with a smile, and suddenly his heart froze, and he scolded himself: "Yes, this is Hua Lao's new partner!" ”

Immediately changed the description, and arched his hand: "Don't dare, don't dare, despise the surname Fu, Fu asked, dare to ask this brother Taigui's surname, where has he always made a fortune?" ”

Yun Chongbo didn't answer him, only smiled: "Do you want to make money?" ”
