“...”

Whether it was Ye Xiao, Shi Tian, or other listening creatures, they all looked at the giant turtle with a playful face speechlessly. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Other people are not easy to say, but Shi Tian has no scruples, firstly, he is already familiar with the other party, and secondly, he is not very old and does not have so many fancy intestines.

"Isn't it the same as what I said, is there any difference between the Red Lotus Water and the Red Lotus Fire True Water?"

Shi Tian pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice, but every person here can be said to be at the level of an immortal, even if his voice is small, all people can hear it, the difference is only whether he wants to listen to it or not.

For Shi Tian's words, the pitch-black giant turtle didn't care, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll stop kidding you." ”

Speaking of this, the giant tortoise's face became serious: "Whether it is water or fire, although the form is not the same, one thing is the same, that is, both are rules. ”

"And the red lotus karmic fire is a very special rule, a kind of karmic fire that can be ignited in anything as long as there is karma, just because it appears in the form of a flame, it is called the red lotus karmic fire. ”

“？？？”

Even after listening to the giant tortoise's explanation, most people, including Shi Tian, still had a blank face and an expression that they couldn't understand.

"I see. ”

However, Ye Yan showed a look of enlightenment.

As far as he knows, karma is the law of cause and effect, and the two are inextricably linked, so cause and effect karma is often mentioned together.

Let's start with cause and effect.

Every cause has an effect, and this is cause and effect.

In addition, it can also be called the law of moral cause and effect, and the law of moral cause and effect should be in the field of morality, just like the law of motion in the field of physics, karma in the simplest terms: 'Good is rewarded, evil is rewarded, it is not that the day has not come'.

In agricultural harvest terms, karma can be interpreted as, 'If you sow good seeds, you will have a good harvest, and if you sow bad seeds, you will get a bad harvest'.

The explanation of karma in the Dharma Sutra is that the mind is the leader of good and bad karma, and if your words and actions are based on the good or evil intentions, then happiness or pain, or unhappiness, will follow you, like an ox cart following the hooves of an ox, and will never leave.

So karma is a kind of action, there is a dynamic force in the living being, called instinctive tendencies or consciousness, and so on, and this inherent habit drives every consciousness, including the mental and physical, and this action becomes an action, and the repetition of this behavior is a habit, and this habit becomes his personality, and in Buddhism, this process is called karma.

For example, if a person kills someone while drunk, this is the cause of karma, and when he wakes up and feels that his conscience is disturbed, not only will he innocently lose the name of a person, but the wife and children of the person who has been killed will be left alone, and he will be in extreme pain of conscience, which is the first result and effect of the karma of murder.

Soon after the incident, he was arrested and imprisoned, which was the second result.

As a result, his career and future have been written off, and his family has been shattered...... is the third outcome.

In addition to this chain reaction, this killing karma also causes the victim to suffer revenge and sickness and short-lived retribution in future lives, which in Buddhism is called unripe fruit.

This is cause and effect, which is karma.

When modern people read Buddhist scriptures, they may feel that they are exaggerating when they see 'karma'.

For example, in one sutra, it is said that during the tribulation, a man who threw a few grains of rice on the Buddha's body as a sign of offering and respect when the Buddha passed through the street. After a number of eons, this person felt the retribution of the Wheel Turning Saint King because of the merit of offering these grains of rice, and became the lord of the world, his land, his castle, his wife, his family, his jewels, and his chariot...... And so many more.

As it is often said in Buddhist scriptures, the retribution for doing bad karma is also inconceivable.

There is a story in the Sutra of Wisdom and Folly that once upon a time there was a brahmin who, at the instigation of his mother, insulted the bhikshu and cursed him in the name of a hundred beasts. With this evil cause, he was born for many lives, and he felt the body of a fish, and the head of a hundred beasts, which was unspeakably miserable. Instigated the mother of this brahmin and fell into the Infernal Hell.

There are many such stories in Buddhist scriptures.

The Buddhist scriptures say that 'small causes can produce big fruits', and from the perspective of employability philosophy, it is an unshakable truth.

Karmic thinking is 'homogeneous correspondence' and not 'equivalence'.

In terms of the phenomenon of employability cause and effect, the amount of effect is often greater than the amount of cause.

Buddhists often use natural phenomena to illustrate this principle. For example, how much more than 100 grains of wheat can bear from a grain of wheat?

Ye Yan once remembered a magazine that said that Manhattan Island, the center of New York City today, worth trillions, was said to have been bought from a Red Indian for two dollars two hundred years ago, and the value of Manhattan Island today is obviously disproportionate compared with the selling price of two dollars back then.

However, some people say that if two dollars had been deposited in the bank two hundred years ago and calculated at compound interest, it would have become an extremely considerable astronomical amount in two hundred years.

This is the fact that the amount of fruit is greater than the amount of cause, and it is also very common in the biological world, such as the continuous division and growth of cells to form various individuals.

A sperm combines with an egg, splits into two, and then splits into four, and continues to divide to form the human body, which has trillions of cells. If the cause of one cell can produce the fruit of hundreds of millions of cells, then the fact that the amount of the effect is greater than the cause may be a common sense of the universe.

To sum it up, in fact, in one sentence, cause and effect produce karma, there is karma, there is karma, there is karma, there is karma, this is an inevitable relationship.

And in this mythical world, karma is enriched with more meaning.

Every living being has karma, because whether it is talking or walking, it is a cause, and with a cause it will naturally produce karma, and with karma it will naturally produce results.

This is karma.

And in this world where gods and demons exist, whether it is cause and effect, or karma, it is actually a rule.

As for the karmic fire red lotus, it is also a rule, as long as it is a medium, it can ignite the karma of living beings, thus forming the so-called red lotus karmic fire.

And while the red lotus karmic fire burns karma, it will also burn all the creatures that carry karma.

And as long as the karma of a living being does not disappear, the red lotus karmic fire will not be extinguished until all the karma is burned.

Obviously, the blood sea may be because of the innate spiritual treasure of the karmic fire red lotus, or because of other reasons, in short, there is a medium for the red lotus karmic fire to ignite, and this red sea is the same.

Or it can be put another way, whether it is the sea of blood or the red sea, there is a red lotus karmic fire in the water, and as long as it encounters karma, it will naturally burn.

Ye Xiao didn't know how this Red Sea was formed, but since there was the existence of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, it was not the slightest strange that it became the first barrier.

In this way, the existence of this endless stone pillar can be explained, obviously even the defenders do not dare to touch the red lotus karmic fire easily, so this stone pillar is a place for them to stand, as for the enemy, they can only stand on the red sea, resisting the attack on the one hand, and resisting the red lotus karmic fire on the other.

Of course, just standing on the surface of the sea is nothing, once you fall into the sea like the creature before, it will definitely die a miserable death.

"I'm afraid that the next trial is for us to carry out on this Red Sea, while resisting the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, and on the other hand, guarding against the attacks of other trialists to prevent being shot down into the sea. ”

Ye Xiao's eyes flashed with a hint of enlightenment, and looking at the red sea water below, he couldn't help but show a touch of amazement.

There is still something I don't understand, what is the sea water below this, it is basically the red lotus karmic fire, but it exists in the form of water.

"Is that the rule? It's amazing. ”

A sigh appeared in Ye Yan's heart, and at the same time, he also had a further understanding of the rules.

"Everything is a rule. ”

At the same time that Ye Yan had a lot of comprehension on his side, Shi Tian on the other side also understood under the explanation of the giant tortoise.

"Wow, it's really dangerous here, if you don't know anything and be shot into the sea, you're going to die. ”

Even after Shi Tian's bold personality understood, and then looked at the endless red lotus karmic fire below, he couldn't help but shrink his neck, with a look of fear.

However, he was a teenager in the end, and he was afraid that it was only a moment, and he was soon left behind, and he couldn't wait to ask: "Then will we carry out the next trial in this Red Sea?"

"It's that simple. ”

Rolling his eyes, the giant turtle explained, "It's just an appetizer, do you see that red waterfall? After going up the waterfall, you will enter the second barrier of this heavenly waterfall, where there will be another sea, and after that sea, there will be countless seas." ”

“...”

Hearing this, whether it was Shi Tian or Ye Xiao and the others, they were all speechless for a while.

Before, everyone thought that this second level trial would be almost the same as the terrifying existence of the Red Lotus Karmic Fire, but they didn't expect that this would be just an appetizer.

Faced with this terrifying reality, many living beings retreated on the spot.

Although the giant tortoise discovered everyone's thoughts, he didn't plan to pay attention to it, and he didn't say this to these people, but to Shi Tian.

Now seeing that Shi Tian was still full of interest, he didn't have the slightest intention of retreating, and immediately continued: "So we can only move forward, do our best to move forward, and know that the top 1,000 people who have gone deepest will appear, and this second level trial will end." ”

"One in a million?"

Many people have this thought in their minds.

"Whether it's one in a thousand or one in a thousand, I have only one goal, and that is to be first. ”

A look of determination flashed in Ye Xiao's eyes.

That's when it happened.

Shi Tian suddenly turned his head and asked, "By the way, I don't know what your name is, big brother?"

"Xuan Turtle, I am from the Xuan Turtle clan, and my name is Xuan Ling. ”

"Since that's the case, then I'll call you Brother Xuan. ”

“...”

"I don't know what you think, but if you can, I still hope you can call me Sister Ling, or Sister Xuan. ”

"Whoa, whoa..."

“...”
