Chapter 982: Cause and Effect, Karma, Merit
On Ziyun Peak, Shi Ji and Li Xiaoyao sat down and discussed, as a veteran golden immortal, although he was only an idle person under the Biyou Palace, and he had not obtained the true inheritance of the Sage Dao, Shi Ji's previous cultivation experience was still of great benefit to Li Xiaoyao at the moment.
"The key to the heavenly immortals is to turn the blessed land into the cave sky. If you have the Cave Heaven, you are the real Heavenly Immortal, and only then can you master the three powers that the Heavenly Immortal can touch!"
Carefully explaining the mystery of the Heavenly Immortal Realm with Li Xiaoyao, Shi Ji spread out his palms as he spoke, condensing a shallow golden cloud, this luck is soft and shallow, but it has an indescribable heavy meaning, which makes people can't help but want to get closer.
"The biggest difference between a celestial immortal and an ordinary immortal is that after achieving the cave heaven, one can truly appreciate some of the mysteries of the Heavenly Dao.
Know cause and effect, know karma, and gather merit!
The way of cause and effect is the trajectory of the reincarnation of heaven and earth.
The existence of the Heavenly Immortal Realm can roughly deduce cause and effect with the help of the power of the Cave Heaven, but deducing cause and effect is actually spying on the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao, the more you know, the greater the pay.
Therefore, unless it is really necessary, even the immortals will not calculate cause and effect, because the cost is too great.
And even if it's deduction, I don't know why I know it.
Karma is the second force that you can access after you have attained the Celestial Fruit Level, and to put it bluntly, karma is a force that drives the continuation of living beings, and every time you produce an action, that action generates karma, and this karma will also push you to move on to the next action.
And so on and so forth. Every living being has all kinds of karma wrapped around it. These karmas are either good karma or bad karma.
Different karma influences the fate of living beings in different directions.
If there is a lot of good karma, it will be good, and if there is a lot of bad karma, it will be evil.
In this world, except for the saints, only some powerful innate gods can act without karma, and everything under the rest of the saints, all their actions and even thoughts, will be contaminated with karma.
Immortals exist, and if they can see the karma in their bodies, they can dissolve the karma in their bodies according to the amount of good and evil karma, so that they can become good and avoid evil. After all, once the bad karma is contaminated too much, it will be rejected by the Heavenly Dao, and in serious cases, it will even be punished by the Heavenly Dao.
Do you see this yellow cloud in my hand? This is the third power that the immortals can come into contact with, and only the most important power - merit!"
put the piece of merit in his hand on Li Xiaoyao's hand and let him feel it carefully.
The moment he came into contact with the yellow clouds, Li Xiaoyao felt a boundless grandeur and majestic aura, as if what he was holding in his hand was not an ethereal cloud, but a planet full of living beings.
That kind of gentleness and delicacy will make people feel extremely down-to-earth in their hearts, even if the sky falls, they are also fearless.
"Merit is a kind of reward from Heaven for those who are obedient to heaven. People in the world often say that cultivating the Tao and becoming an immortal is to go against the sky, but they don't know that if this way of heaven is really so rebellious, this heaven and earth would have become a pot of porridge long ago.
At the same time, merit is one of the ways to counteract one's negative karma, but merit has many effects, and it is not easy to accumulate it. Therefore, unless it reaches the point where they are riddled with negative karma and cannot take it upon themselves, no one will use merit to offset their negative karma.
After all, merit is too precious. ”
With a far-reaching chuckle on his face, Shi Ji sighed secretly in his heart, the way of heaven is fair, impartial, and there are rewards and punishments. If he had enough merit back then, maybe he wouldn't have his name on the god list.
"What do the seniors mean that if you go with the sky, you will be able to have merit?" returned the merit Huang Yun in his hand to Shi Ji, and Li Xiaoyao then asked.
"No, it's just my duty to go with the flow. Only the long and good, the bright road. in order to accumulate merit. Although the merit in my hands is small, it is what I have accumulated bit by bit over the centuries of driving away wild beasts, driving the way for the lost, and breaking the disaster of flood-stricken villages.
Heavenly Dao will record all your actions in great detail, and will not miss you a little, but it will not give you any more points. ”
"Then seniors, what is the way of heaven to speak good, how can there be abandonment of evil for the way of heaven?"
The theory of good and evil has never had a real result, it is good for a tiger to save people under his mouth, and it is evil for a hungry tiger to have nothing to eat. Good and evil are concepts that cannot be precisely defined.
Li Xiaoyao didn't understand, so he could only continue to consult Shi Ji.
"Good and evil involve cause and effect, and this is not something that we can understand. Ordinary people can't see whether what they do is good or evil. But when you become an immortal, you will be able to perceive the karma generated by your words and deeds.
In this way, you can determine whether your actions are good or evil. ”
It seems that he had long thought that Li Xiaoyao would have doubts in this regard, and Shi Ji directly gave the answer.
"I see, so the karma and merit that the immortals grasp are complementary to each other. Karma can determine whether one's actions are good or evil, and merit can counteract bad karma.
But in this way, isn't it all up to the way of heaven for our actions?" frowning slightly, Li Xiaoyao looked at Shi Ji with deep eyes.
"The heart of heaven is my heart. This is one of the beliefs of my cultivators, that living beings are selfish, and even saints cannot achieve eternal justice.
Only the way of heaven hangs high above it, and it is the most righteous and upright. Xiaoyao, we haven't doubted the qualifications of the Heavenly Dao, maybe this kind of qualification is even ...... saints."
After saying that, Shi Ji kept silent. The saints are supreme, and any talk about them is like shouting in front of them, and Shi Ji doesn't want to suffer the disgust of the saint for nothing.
Shi Ji's words made Li Xiaoyao fall into deep thought.
The Heavenly Dao is supreme, even if he is a saint, he is only on an equal footing with the Heavenly Dao, and he is just a monk who has not even become a Heavenly Immortal.
Now think about those who have and don't, they really don't have this qualification.
"Thank you Shi Ji seniors for solving your doubts, in this way, I will have a greater grasp of achieving the Heavenly Immortals. That's right, Shiji senior. I have one more thing I would like to ask you. ”
Standing up and saluting Shi Ji, thanking Shi Ji for his generosity, Li Xiaoyao suddenly moved his eyes and asked Shi Ji.
"Nothing, but it doesn't hurt to say it. ”
"My Master...... What is the realm?" Looking at Shi Ji with some curiosity, Li Xiaoyao has always been very curious about the realm where his master stands, and since he was a child, Li Xiaoyao has been looking up at the back of Bai Mei.
Under his influence, Bai Mei's strength will always be a mystery, and the later this situation goes, the more so, especially after reaching the upper realm, Bai Mei's power is even more fearful of even top real people like black and white impermanence.
So Li Xiaoyao is really curious, what kind of existence does his master have now?
"Your Master......"
......
