Chapter 256: The Way of Cause and Effect
In the painting boat of the Thousand Lights River, Xuanjizi is shaking the turtle shell.
Several copper coins fell from the turtle shell with a crisp sound.
Xuan Jizi glanced at the copper coin, nodded with satisfaction, and said, "It seems that the matter of the Chamber of Commerce has been settled."
But at this moment, a black smoke floated out of the tortoiseshell, turned into a human face of Mohu, and said to Xuanjizi, "I said, as long as you learn from me, you don't need to divide this hexagram again. The secret of heaven must not be revealed, if you can count it once, you will have one less sin, why don't you listen?"
Xuan Jizi said to the black shadow, "Scattered Ghost King, I have my own path of cultivation, you better save your strength and recuperate in peace."
The black shadow shook his head and continued to say to Xuan Jizi, "You cultivated the cause before, thinking that the three copper coins were all about the world, and only then did you think about how to deal with it when you knew the reason. But in fact, there are countless changes from cause to effect, and with your divination skills, you can't calculate it at all. This is also the reason why you have been wrong before, even your life is gone, why are you still obsessed?"
Xuan Jizi smiled and said, "Scattered Ghost King, the path of your cultivation is not necessarily much better than mine? It seems that as long as you settle the fate of others, no matter how much the other person struggles, they will eventually fall into the outcome you have set. However, you can only see the leopard in the palm of your fate.
"Dao Ran was calculated by you, and he was trapped in the underworld and couldn't return to the yang. But you don't know what happens when he enters the city of the dead, and maybe tomorrow he will come out of the city.
"As for you saying that my life is gone, you seem to be about the same. When you went to the Stone Mill Hell to find me, and you didn't hesitate to abolish ninety percent of your cultivation, and become the appearance that dissipates as soon as the wind blows, isn't it because your fate is destined to suffer such a retribution?"
Speaking of which, the encounter between this person and a ghost is also fate.
The Scattered Ghost King used to be the most mysterious of the ten ghost kings, and his way of cause and effect was very special, not to predict the future, and then avoid it according to what he knew.
The Scattered Ghost King calculates an inevitable fate, and then he can control what happens to this fate to a certain extent.
Dao Ran fell into bad luck when he went to steal the flowers on the other side, and was cursed by the flowers on the other side, which was actually the ghost king who scattered the ghosts.
The underworld is so big, there will always be someone who accidentally pulls out the flowers next to him when they pull out the flowers on the other side, and the ghost king of the scattered ghosts calculated this event that was destined to happen, and then took it over and added a setting - all those who steal the flowers of his house will inevitably be cursed.
Therefore, whether it is Dao Ran or other powerful ghosts, as long as they go to the territory of the Scattered Ghost King to steal the flowers on the other side, they will definitely be cursed accidentally.
This is the way of "fruit" cultivated by the Scattered Ghost King, taking out the result and pressing it on the target. Once this fate is planted, no matter how the other party struggles, it cannot change the fate.
The same is true for the evil ghost who fought against the Scattered Ghost King before, and was planted with the fate of "will definitely encounter the ghost of the underworld" by the Scattered Ghost King, and before he could find trouble with the Scattered Ghost King, he ran headlong into the Ghost Poor Brigade of the Underworld, and was directly beaten to the ground.
It's a subtle tactic, but it's not a small cost.
Every time the Scattered Ghost King sets a fate, he will also be put on another fate because of this. The good and the bad cannot be controlled, sometimes it can benefit others by harming themselves, and sometimes it is a fatal trouble.
….
What's even more troublesome is that only when the set fate takes effect, the Scattered Ghost King will know what fate he has been set on.
However, under normal circumstances, the Scattered Ghost King can reduce the sequelae by half.
For example, if the suffering level of others is 100, the repercussion of the Scattered Ghost King may only be 30. With this method, the Scattered Ghost King is firmly in the top three of the top ten ghost kings, but he is usually low-key, and others are not sure of his ability.
But this time, the Scattered Ghost King suffered.
Dao Ran stole the flowers on the other side, fell into the plot of the Scattered Ghost King, and later encountered various coincidences in a row, until he was too guilty to leave the underworld, these are actually the "continuous bad luck" set by the Scattered Ghost King a long time ago.
When the backlash came, the Scattered Ghost King found himself locked in the fate of "Soul Scattering". At that time, the Scattered Ghost King jumped down and calculated by himself
What kind of person is it, just to let Dao Ran can't leave the underworld, and he has to pay the price of his soul scattered? Is this little monk the illegitimate son of a saint?
The Scattered Ghost King tried his best to reduce the effect of the backlash, but the final result was extremely miserable. But the Scattered Ghost King will not sit still, relying on his own "fruit" way, he has added a ray of life to himself.
And this line of vitality finally fell on Xuan Jizi, she has a lot to do with Daoran, and only by following her can she survive.
Maybe this is karma, harming Daoran, and finally having to ask Daoran's friend.
The Scattered Ghost King didn't have any luck mentality, and it was impossible for a person who was locked in his fate to break free, so he decisively ran to the underworld to find the mystery.
By constantly inflicting the fate of "dereliction of duty" and "accidental distraction" on the ghosts, the Scattered Ghost King found a mystery in the Stone Mill Hell.
As a sinner-guilty ghost king, don't even think about crawling out of hell if you fall into hell. But the Scattered Ghost King was ruthless and tore his soul apart.
This method is like refining an incarnation outside the body, but the cost is extremely high.
Originally, he was a 100% scattered ghost king, but after the soul split, there was only one fifty percent scattered ghost king left, and there was less than one percent of the scattered soul split.
Everything else is gone.
But the only good thing is that this soul is like a baby born, innocent and without the slightest sin. Because of this, the split soul was able to attach to Xuanjizi and follow her out of the underworld.
The so-called glimmer of life is the fate of only the remnant soul.
And the reason why Xuan Jizi is willing to bring the Scattered Ghost King back to Yang is because he is willing to teach her the way of "fruit" that he practiced.
Xuanjizi is a human Gu, with the talent of the autumn wind before the cicada is moved, and the practice is the way of cause. Based on the known causes, it is possible to deduce future changes and choose different ways to deal with them.
However, the result of this calculation is not certain, and the reason why Xuanjizi often makes mistakes is because there are too many "causes" involved in divination, and the subsequent changes are too complicated, and it is easy to make mistakes.
From the point of view of effect, the way of "cause" of Xuanjizi is not as accurate as the way of "effect". After learning the ability of the Scattered Ghost King, Xuan Jizi tried his hand at it.
She first deduced the mentorship of the three Taoist priests of Purple Moon, Black Moon, and White Moon, as well as the grievances of the teachers who were not clear. Then, Xuan Jizi chose the fate called "turning against each other and killing each other" and pressed it on the three Taoist priests.
….
It was Ziyue Zhenren who opened the envelope, and this fate had been firmly locked with the three of them, and Ziyue Zhenren could choose to temporarily avoid the topic of Shenzi's tomb, and could use lies to appease the two brothers, or he could change the topic and kill Zhuwei and them first.
But these may have been crossed out by Xuanjizi, and Ziyue Zhenren chose the fate that Xuanjizi arranged for them, and killed each other on the spot.
"Karma, the cycle of heavenly principles, without any link is incomplete. I have calculated many times, although I also have to endure the backlash of heaven, but compared to you, the price I need to pay is much smaller.
"You see that these three monks have ended up so tragically, and the fate I need to pay is just waiting for my lips to be burned by tea."
After Xuanjizi finished speaking, he picked up the teacup and carefully blew the hot tea on it.
"You say, if I wait for this cup of tea to cool down completely before drinking it, will it still burn my mouth?" Xuan Jizi said with a smile to the Scattered Ghost King.
However, as soon as she finished saying this, the painting boat suddenly jolted, and before she could hold it steadily, the tea in the cup splashed on her face, making her scream.
Wiping the tea off his face, Xuanjizi found that his lips were burning red.
This bump came too suddenly, and Xuan Jizi was completely unprepared. Because the Qiandeng River has long been shrouded in formations, it is impossible to have such a big wave, and there is no difference between the painting boat and the flat ground.
But immediately after, Bai Suzhen's voice came from outside the painting boat: "Xiaoqing, I asked you to practice, what are you doing jumping into the river?!"
Xiaoqing said aggrievedly, "Sister, I don't want to practice, I've already eaten peaches, why do I still have to practice!" You force me again,
I hid at the bottom of the river and didn't come out!"
Listening to the quarrel between the two sisters, Xuanjizi rolled her eyes and said, "This karma really can't be escaped."
The Scattered Ghost King was silent for a long time, and then said, "The reason why I let you choose between cause and effect is because mortals don't have the talent for dual cultivation at all. But I saw that you are indeed a genius in cultivating the path of cause and effect, but in a few days, you have already cultivated to this level, and in another hundred years, it will not be difficult for you to ascend by relying on the path of cause and effect."
Xuan Jizi heard the praise of the Scattered Ghost King, but he was not at all proud.
100 Years of Ascension?
If it had been a year ago, Xuan Jizi would have been very happy to hear this.
Ascension is the future that all practitioners dream of, and to be able to ascend in a hundred years is even faster.
But everything is afraid of comparison, Dao Ran has cultivated from a mortal to the realm of a half-step Arhat in a year after going down the mountain, and the hundred-year ascension is really too weak.
Xuanjizi is also a person who has eaten peaches now, and the goal is to soar, but the pattern is too small.
Xuan Jizi said to the Scattered Ghost King: "It's okay to pat yourself on the back, I still have some doubts about this method of extracting fate and giving destiny, I think this hot mouth backlash can be reduced a little ......
Just when one person and one ghost were studying the way of cause and effect, on the Bianhe River, the grain ship of the Qiandeng River Chamber of Commerce was still moving forward.
In the huge cabin, the Black Moon real person was covered in bandages and lay on the bed board.
When he woke up, the Black Moon Genuine was surprised himself. Obviously, the ice pick pierced his body, and half of his internal organs were shattered, and even a cultivator couldn't survive.
….
The Black Moon True Man controlled the mana and turned around in his body, and found that although he was seriously injured, he was no longer in mortal danger.
"Strange, what the hell is going on?" The Black Moon said to himself.
At this time, a voice from someone else came from the side of the bed: "Daoist Black Moon, how do you feel when you wake up?"
Heiyue Zhenren turned his head and saw Zhu Wei's honest smile.
"You saved me?" Kurotsuki asked strangely.
Zhu Wei arched his hand and said, "It's to make you blessed with a great life, and it's just a little bit of a person to do it below."
But the Black Moon Zhenren said, "Don't be polite, I know the injuries I have suffered. How did you get me back?"
Zhu Wei didn't go around the corner, took out a porcelain vase and handed it to Heiyue Zhenren, and said to him, "This is the elixir refined by our boss, which has a miraculous healing effect. When we go out, we always have to bring some with us in case we need them."
Heiyue Zhenren took the porcelain vase, poured out one and put it in his mouth.
A strange aroma permeated his mouth, and the spiritual power contained in the elixir spread rapidly, making him feel like a fluttering immortal. After swallowing an elixir, he felt that most of his injuries had recovered, from serious injuries to minor injuries.
"What a powerful elixir!"
The real person of Black Moon is also knowledgeable, and this elixir is simply an elixir, which can give people an extra life.
The Black Moon True Man sighed with emotion, "It seems that that Dao Ran Holy Monk is not a person who has lost his name."
Zhu Wei thought to himself, where did you come from as a rural Taoist priest, and you still doubt the ability of the Daoran Holy Monk?
Zhu Wei guessed half right, these three Taoist priests have been practicing in the mountains for many years, and they don't inquire much about mortal affairs. For cultivators, they don't care about the rise and fall of other dynasties.
This time, when the three brothers were cultivating, they suddenly felt that it was a good time to go down the mountain to collect incense, so they ran to the mortal world to practice. This look, it is indeed true, the disaster situation in all states of the world is urgent, and it is indeed a good time to extend favors.
The Qiandeng River Chamber of Commerce is not small, and it has become the target of the three brothers.
As for Daoran's reputation, the three brothers didn't take it to heart.
Mortals often can't understand the abilities of cultivators, and those who can order spells casually will be regarded as true immortals. This holy monk sounds quite famous, but when he mixes with mortals, he probably doesn't have much ability.
How can a true cultivator account for gold and silver treasures, and what kind of chamber of commerce should he run?
With this idea, the three brothers tried to find the Thousand Lights River Chamber of Commerce
's trouble, I didn't kill at the beginning, I only grabbed food. This is to test the truth and truth, if that Daoran holy monk is really capable, they can stop making peace, and send the food back.
It turned out that this chamber of commerce didn't even have a person who could support the field, so the three brothers would intensify their efforts and want to grab the entire chamber of commerce.
Unexpectedly, the Chamber of Commerce didn't grab it, but the three brothers became enemies first.
Heiyue Zhenren couldn't understand why his brother wanted to kill him now, but he also understood that there must be some earth-shattering secret in Shenzi's tomb that made him not hesitate to kill people.
Black Moon Zhenren's injuries have not healed, if he is chased and killed by Ziyue Zhenren, he will definitely die, and now he can only stay here to recuperate for the time being.
However, Heiyue Zhenren was still a little puzzled, and asked Zhu Wei, "The three of us brothers robbed you of your food, why do you still want to save me?"
Zhu Wei said in a sincere tone: "The three Taoist leaders also blocked the road and robbed in order to save the people, and this compassion is also admired below, and the sin will not lead to death."
When Heiyue Zhenren heard this, he couldn't help but show a ashamed expression. I never expected Zhu Wei to repay his grievances with virtue, which made Heiyue Zhenren feel a little embarrassed.
"Thank you, great kindness, you will be rewarded!" The Black Moon said categorically.
Zhu Wei politely said a few words, and then asked the Black Moon real person to recuperate.
Actually, what Zhu Wei was thinking in his heart was.
Ziyue Zhenren killed people in front of them, who knows if he will come to kill people after killing Baiyue Zhenren. Save this Black Moon real person, even if Ziyue comes back, he can have a shield.
As for the elixir to cure the Black Moon Zhenren, Zhu Wei was not heartbroken, because it was given to him by Xuanjizi, a total of three, and it was specially explained that it was for cultivators, and mortals could not eat it indiscriminately.
Zhu Wei thought it was poison at first, and wanted to give one to each of the three Taoist priests, but later learned that it was a life-saving medicine. It seems that everything is in the calculation of the Xuanji Daoist, and the crisis of the Chamber of Commerce should be resolved.
It's just that this process is really a bit dangerous, if Ziyue Zhenren's hands trembled at that time, it would be him who was broken by the ice pick.
"Alas, it's good when the holy monk is here, and I never have to take such risks. Amitabha, holy monk, come back quickly." Zhu Wei prayed.
