Chapter 281 Two hundred thousand good deeds and discussion, the war is coming
At dusk, the pale golden afterglow falls on the spiritual island below, and the golden light complements the vitality of the wood flowing in the spiritual field.
In the distance in the sky, there are several figures of monks flying across the sky. They are either wielding swords, riding spirit boats, or sitting on the backs of spirit beasts, their robes rustling in the wind. Talking and laughing with each other, this was the rare peace and tranquility before the war.
On Kunzi Island, hundreds of acres of spiritual fields are spread out at the feet of Lu Cheng like a golden carpet. The heavy spiritual rice in front of you is swaying gently in the wind, as if it is the breath of the earth.
A group of Lingzhifu who only have the first or second level of Qi training or even the innate realm are working in the fields. They have dark skin and full muscles. Lingzhifu is a good part-time job in the early stage of physical training, but don’t be immersed in it. , in the middle and later stages, it is often necessary to turn to the practice of spiritual medicine to better understand the mysteries of one's own body.
Among the hundreds of arts of cultivating immortals, although Ling Zhifu is one of them, this one is the easiest to learn and difficult to master. Just like although the earth carries all things, it is even more difficult to truly feel and mobilize the power of the earth. .
So in the world of immortality, local farmers who dig up spiritual stones are easily looked down upon, especially in front of monks who specialize in the four arts of alchemy and talismans.
However, it is said that in the world of Dingzhang, there is a spiritual cultivator who has cultivated to the realm of physical cultivation and spiritual cultivation. He relies on farming and practices step by step. Because he is a high-level spiritual cultivator, there are ordinary conflicts. , the war between the sects was not affected, and the monks who had been here for thousands of years finally reached the realm of Yuanshen.
Although it was so long ago that these Ling Zhifu couldn't tell which ancestor of the Yuan Shen it was, they firmly believed that it was true.
Ling Zhifu's life is too hard. If he doesn't have this thought anymore, he will really not be able to live his life.
"Some people with spiritual talent first learn spiritual planting, and then switch to spiritual medicine. Although they suffer hardships, they are also the easiest to get ahead.
In fact, if you are really talented, you will always be the best and continue to cultivate. If you cultivate the land for hundreds of thousands of years, you can cultivate the ancestor of the soul..."
A spiritual planter took his young son behind him to dig the land together. The land did not go through plowing. , seeds cannot be planted without fertilization.
“Wow!”
The chubby child suddenly started crying, and the spirit grain in his arms fell to the ground. When I was about to scold him, I suddenly saw a red and swollen patch on my son's ankle.
In the spiritual field, there are often some pests, because there is spiritual energy in the spiritual field and spiritual energy in the spiritual rice. Feeding on these two energies, even ordinary insects will slowly mutate and eventually turn into all kinds of strange low-level spirits. insect.
Its nature is either ferocious or extremely poisonous.
Seeing this scene, the Lingzhifu man felt soft. He quickly picked up the chubby toddler and performed surgery. Because it was symptomatic, the redness and swelling disappeared quickly.
The hundreds of acres of spiritual fields in front of us, as well as these skilled spiritual planters, are the greatest wealth of Kunzi Island. Not only the spiritual fields have been nurtured here, but also the spiritual path of countless monks. .
Today Lu Cheng was very quiet and lively in the cave, so he went out and took a look. He had practiced Tianyi Zhenjue, and he merged with the surrounding nature as soon as he thought about it, so there was no one around him. If you can notice him, otherwise there will be salutes everywhere, which would be troublesome for Lu Cheng himself.
"The art of spiritual planting, the method of nurturing the growth of all things, and the method of water and wood Taoism, I should also study a little or two in the future. Even if I don't learn it deeply, a brief understanding will definitely be helpful to my future cultivation."
At this time, Lu Cheng somewhat understood why high-level monks were involved in many aspects and borrowed stones from other mountains to attack jade by analogy. The principles of Taoism and Dharma in this world are interconnected.
Tao and Dharma have no boundaries. If one day a monk feels that he has exhausted the principles of the world, then there is probably something wrong with his practice.
At this moment, a blue-white aura flew from far away in the sky.
Seeing this, Taoist Lu Cheng pointed his finger at the spiritual light and connected it with his spiritual consciousness. The blue and white spiritual light quickly flew over, but it was a messenger talisman.
After pouring his spiritual consciousness into it, Mr. Wei Da, one of the three major monks on the main island of Cangyun, invited himself to go to Yixi in seven days.
Lu Cheng originally planned to accept a solo mission to rescue the defeated monks in order to avoid a large-scale war. However, he was assassinated by the Earth Sword a few days ago, and then used the innate sword energy in his concubine Lin Qinghan. , using this to advance to the fourth level of the Five Elements Reform and comprehend the Mysterious Kung Fu, this time was delayed.
However, Cangyun Main Island has never had any objections to this. It should be like this. It is normal to be assassinated by the Earth Sword and unable to perform tasks in a short period of time. I just don’t know if this invitation will be Why.
Seven days later, a sword light flew from Kunzi Island and headed to the main island of Cangyun.
Cangyun Island is the cave where Nascent Soul monk Wei Shuyi lives.
There is a Jade Palace on Cangyun Island. This time, Lu Cheng was invited to go to the private cave to have a talk. It was less about official matters and more about personal relations.
Of course, although he is a great monk, he is still in the realm of Yuanying after all, but he cannot be called a corporal of courtesy. They are both Nascent Soul monks. The reason why the status gap between ordinary monks and great monks is so obvious is because it is extremely difficult for Nascent Soul monks to cultivate their magic power. Every great monk is often an old monster who has been practicing for thousands of years. The treasures he possesses are magical powers. There is almost a gap between them and ordinary Yuanying monks. This is a status gap caused by the strength of both parties.
“Hahahaha, little friend, I invited you here in a hurry, don’t be offended.”
Lu Cheng had just arrived at the cave, and not long after he submitted his invitation, Wei Shuyi came to greet him in person. Yes, today Mr. Wei Da is less majestic and more friendly and approachable, welcoming Lu Cheng into the house.
"How is the little friend's internal injury? Has he recovered?"
"There are still a few internal injuries from the sword energy in my heart that are difficult to remove for a while, but they are no longer serious."
"Well, there is nothing else to do with inviting me here this time, but because of the location. Regarding the sword matter, the compensation for the good deeds I applied for has been received. , I happened to have nothing to do, so I invited you to come and have a chat, enjoy the singing and dancing, and at the same time pass this good deed on to you."
With that said, Wei Shuyi handed Lu Cheng a piece. When Lu Cheng put his spiritual consciousness into the jade tablet, he knew that there were two hundred thousand good deeds in it.
This is a bit too much. The matter of the Earth Sword, the "Sword of Heavenly Demon Sword", the Water-Shaped Pill, and the four million spirit stones have already been explained and can stop the mouth of Youyou in the world. If you add more These two hundred thousand good deeds are a bit too icing on the cake.
As long as Wei Shuyi wanted to give it, there was no way Lu Cheng would not accept it.
Next, the two of them really played chess, drank tea, and interacted in a very normal monk manner.
Of course, it is inevitable to discuss mysteries and Taoism. It is almost impossible for monks to not talk about this when they are together.
“My dear friend, do you have any opinions on the Buddhist theory of ‘good causes lead to good consequences, evil causes lead to evil consequences’?”
As he spoke, Wei Shuyi struck.
“‘Good and evil are uncertain, and good and evil are rewarded.’” Lu Cheng replied while firing back.
"Oh, little friend, you believe in Buddhism's theory that good and evil will be rewarded?"
"No, I believe in Taoism's theory of innate nature."
Mr. Wei Da just gave two hundred thousand Good deeds, this is almost enough for a Nascent Soul cultivator This is a life-threatening mission for Shi Shi. At this moment, he is interested, and Lu Cheng has no choice but to answer directly:
"Good causes good consequences, evil causes bad consequences. In my opinion, this Buddhist theory is overall The words are correct, there are many kinds of kindness in the world There is nothing wrong with a cause producing many good consequences, and a variety of evil causes producing many bad consequences. However, if Lu has a certain good cause, the good consequences may not necessarily fall on Lu. Mr. Wei planted evil causes, and the bad consequences may not necessarily fall on Wei. Mr. Da, it’s just that there are too many in this world One good result and one evil result.
Those who sow good causes may not necessarily get good results, and those who sow evil causes may not necessarily get bad results. Therefore, I say that good and evil are uncertain, but once the cause exists, the effect will appear, so I say. Good deeds are rewarded.”
"I don't fully agree with Taoist friends' views. I'm more interested in Taoist friends' views on root nature."
Wei Shuyi did not discuss Taoism or refute anything, but continued. Chess moves.
“It is precisely because of the realization that good and evil are indeterminate that the Taoist sages proposed to practice to change one’s own nature to make it more in line with the Tao, so that it can obtain more good rewards.”
“ If you think so, are you still trading? Then according to your statement, the immortals in the sky will reap immeasurable good and will do immeasurable evil. Retribution remains in the human world?”
“The immortal gods are not dead, and the existence of the immortal gods is also producing a large amount of good retribution every moment. , the sky shines for ten days, the arrow falls for nine days, Cangjie creates characters and develops civilization, what is not a great reward and great merit? "
"In your opinion, what is a good nature?" Wei Shuyi asked again.
“…”
For this point, Lu Cheng did not answer directly, but thought for a moment and then said:
“I heard that there is a god in the land in the west. His teachings say: 'Did I not command you? Be strong and courageous! Do not be afraid, nor be dismayed; for wherever you go, , God will be with you. '"
"I heard that Tibetan Buddhism says: 'After a person dies, he goes through the horror of hell, and those who go through the first level of hell and face it directly can enter. Heavenly beings; even the second level, the third level, the ninth level, and those who cannot face the ninth level of extremely tiny hell will be reincarnated as insects.'"
"Bravery, compassion, perseverance, intelligence, prudence and even luck, these are all roots. After thousands of years of practicing Taoism, those who change their roots and get closer to the Tao can be immortals."
"Hahahaha, that obscene and lazy person Can’t these people be immortals?" Wei Shuyi asked again with a smile.
"Obscene and lazy, immortals and gods also exist, otherwise there would not be so many so-called legends of fallen immortals. Obscene and lazy, common people have it, but there is no need to be afraid of it. The roads are confused, there is no good or evil, no How can evil be good?" Lu Cheng replied.
"Well said, well said, you are dead." As he said that, Wei Shuyi dropped his piece and strangled the opponent's dragon in front of him.
"..." Lu Chengzhi looked at the chessboard for a long time, but in the end he could only smile bitterly and give up. Then, the two of them talked for two more games. Lu Cheng's chess skills were far inferior to Wei Shuyi's, and he lost more than he won.
One day later, Lu Cheng came and left happily. Wei Shuyi, after seeing off his guests, returned to the stone table, still thinking about today's strangulation.
"Two hundred thousand good deeds, in exchange for a few good games of chess from you? Didn't you agree in advance to confirm that Taoist Tie Xiao was the direct descendant of the Yuanshen before giving him the good deeds? Why did you change your mind again?" At this time, aqua and green images appeared beside Wei Shuyi, but they were two great monks, Shi Muqing and Ming Yuchen.
"That's because you didn't meet face to face, so you asked such a question. How long has it been since this person not only recovered from his internal injuries, but even achieved a breakthrough in his magical realm! Even if Not the direct descendant of the ancestor of Yuanshen , such an outstanding person, I am willing to spend two hundred thousand good deeds to make good friends and establish a good relationship.
Even if I plant good karma today, it will not be me who will get the good results. In the future, it will be my disciple. The body is also good.”
"..." Hearing this, Shi Muqing's face became a little surprised and uncertain.
"Brother Dao Wei, do you think this person is really a disciple of the ancestor of the Yuan Shen? Have you ever found out anything?" Ming Yuchen, the great monk of Yuanying, asked.
"Extensive knowledge and profound understanding of Taoism. At least I have never heard of the monotheistic religion in the far west, Tibetan Buddhism, but it is obviously not fabricated. This person may be someone from the outside world. Yuan Shen The direct descendant of the ancestor, who cultivates the Nascent Soul incarnation in the Golden Core realm, and associates with the Nascent Soul monks to hone his magic power and mind. Such an outstanding person cannot do this unless he is the direct descendant of the Yuan Shen."
Wei Shuyi held up a hand. The child falls again.
“Those three old monsters, who have been cultivating for thousands of years and have deep scheming minds, may have vaguely detected my roots. They are still trying to win me over with a lot of good deeds. They are afraid that they think I am some ancestor of the soul. Disciple?
Huh, I have to be more cautious in the future. When I complete the Five Elements Transformation Technique, even if my identity is discovered, what should I fear? There is still no obstacle between advance and retreat. ”
When you go out, sometimes your identity is given to you by yourself. It’s not a bad idea to put up a shelf to show off. As long as you can fill it in little by little, you can really support it in the future.
After Yu Jian flew away, Lu Cheng did not return to Kunzi Island first. Instead, Yu Jian went to the treasure hall on the main island of Cangyun.
The war was approaching, and there were many treasures in the treasure hall. one The ancestors of Yuan Shen have accumulated amazing good deeds in the sect, so even if their status is not considered, the sect's treasure house is no different from their private treasury at this time. In the battle between the domain monks, many of the northern domain monks in the South Li Sea have not yet made any military exploits, and their good deeds are limited. At this time, the two hundred thousand good deeds in Lu Cheng's hands is a large amount. He can choose many from the treasure hall. Cherish the unique items.
These spiritual creatures may not appear again after several battles.
Cangyun Island, Treasure Hall.
"This True Lord, the junior Zhong Shixuan is here to be polite."
"Yes."
Lu Cheng saw a middle-aged monk standing in the treasure hall and saluting him. , nodded in response.
"What kind of treasure does the True Lord want? We have all kinds of elixirs, magic weapons and techniques, puppets and spiritual beasts, anecdotes and anecdotes."
Perhaps because the treasure hall has not been opened for a long time, Zhong Shixuan seemed a little attentive.
“Let’s take a look at the magic weapon first.”
Lu Cheng asked the middle-aged monk to bring the treasure book, and then looked at it for more than two hours.
“Bring this sixth-level puppet beast and show it to me.”
"Here, Zhenjun, we cannot dare or touch a treasure of this level. There are spiritual restrictions set up. If you want to see it, you can only go with me to see it."
See Lu Cheng make his choice. Treasure, said this, Zhong Shixuan looked embarrassed and replied.
"Haha, I was negligent. Okay, then take me there."
The three treasures that Lu Cheng is interested in this time are:
Sixth level inferior method The Treasure Jue Yinhan Sword, this treasure can fly and disappear, has the ability to hide, is good at breaking through the protective aura, and kills the body of the Nascent Soul cultivator unexpectedly. Although it is only a sixth-level low-grade magic weapon, if used well, it can kill Not bad. It can also be combined with the Cold Evil Shura Sword Qi that you have cultivated.
The sixth-level mid-grade magic weapon, the Five-Cloud Thunder and Fire Gourd, is a powerful magic weapon that assists in overcoming tribulations. It can absorb the thunder and fire energy between heaven and earth, and attack it when necessary. The stronger the thunder and fire energy absorbed, the greater the power. This magic weapon is nothing to the monks in the Dingzhang world, but for the monks in the Tongxuan world who need to go through the fourth and ninth tribulations, it is extremely useful, and it is suitable for both overcoming tribulations and protecting the road.
The sixth-level mid-level puppet Hell Demon Guard, there are only a few sixth-level mid-level puppets in the entire treasure hall, especially since it has a cold attribute, it is the only one of its kind.
The spiritual consciousness and magic power of the Ghost Infant's incarnation is the weakest in the realm of Yuanying. Even with Lu Cheng's assistance, it is far behind other real Yuanying realm monks. Only the Yin Demon can be used in cultivation. Only a first-level Nascent Soul monk can be considered a normal Yuanying first-level monk when it comes to evil-cold magic weapons and spells. But even so, it is extremely difficult to afford the Xuanyin Flying Sword, the Phantom Demon Banner, and a sixth-level mid-grade magic weapon.
For high-level puppets, the best spiritual stones must be installed in the body, which can greatly reduce the mana burden of the ghost infant incarnation.
Under the guidance of Zhong Shixuan, Lu Cheng entered the third floor of the Treasure Hall.
The third floor is relatively empty, and there is no magic weapon or spiritual object on the surface. Only when Zhong Shixuan uses his magic technique in front of the corresponding stone wall will the stone wall move away, revealing the treasure behind it.
Furthermore, the treasures within the stone wall are protected by spiritual energy restrictions. Each treasure is surrounded by multiple restrictions. Once these treasures are moved, an alarm will be issued immediately to notify the monks stationed here.
The Jueyin Han Dao is a black flying knife. It is densely covered with talismans and inscriptions, as if it were made from nature. Although it is only the size of a palm, it exudes an evil aura.
The Five Clouds Thunder Fire Gourd is a magic weapon suspended in the void. It looks extremely miraculous. It is probably the spirit vine of heaven and earth. After being obtained by the monks, it was refined with various Taoist methods and finally became it.
The Dark Demon Puppet, when the monk opened the stone wall, what appeared in front of Lu Cheng was a skeleton puppet as tall as a person. The whole body was made of deep black iron, and every iron bone seemed to be Devouring the weak light around it, making the whole body look even more gloomy.
The eyes of the underworld are bottomless and emit a faint red light, as if they can see into the deepest fears in people's hearts. Although it is a puppet, every iron joint reveals a strange smoothness, as if it is alive.
After watching it, Lu Cheng thought about it again and again, and finally chose the sixth-level mid-grade puppet, the Dark Demon Puppet, which is worth 213,000 good deeds. Lu Cheng also needs to catch up with some Nascent Soul monks stationed on the island. Only by performing good deeds can you take away this treasure.
Of course, Nascent Soul monks can borrow a certain amount of money from the Treasure Hall. Nascent Soul monks also have this face.
“The Jueyin Han Dao is used well, and it is very satisfying to plot and kill people, but if it is used poorly, it is also very pleasant to be broken and interrupted, and I suffer the consequences. Although the Wuyun Thunder Fire Gourd is suitable for me , but I am confident that I can survive the forty-nine tribulations. If there is any danger in the future, Use your good deeds to exchange for this treasure.
This is the only ghost demon puppet. If it is not redeemed in time, I may not have this opportunity in the future. It can not only be used to protect the Tao, but it is also very useful for me to figure out the puppet technique. It’s helpful.”
Two hundred thousand good deeds were obtained within a few hours before Lu Cheng spent them all. Then he left the treasure hall and returned to Kunzi Island with his sword.
Today was also a coincidence. When Lu Cheng Yujian flew back, he encountered a familiar escaping light.
"Qinghan?"
"Husband."
Lin Qinghan also sensed Lu Chengyu's sword flying down, flew up to meet him, and saluted gracefully.
"I just came back from Sister Gui, and I have agreed on some arrangements for the disciples on the island."
As the two of them flew back, Lin Qinghan explained everything to Lu Cheng one by one.
Huanyun Valley, Bihai Pavilion, and Lingyuan Mansion three sects jointly guard Kunzi Island. While working together, some disputes and conflicts are inevitable.
When Lu Cheng first arrived at Nanlihai, he defeated two Nascent Soul Lords of the Heavenly Demon Sword Sect in a row. Their combat power was so strong that people looked at them and did not dare to look down upon them.
But Gui Dongmei is a fifth-level high-grade formation mage who can maximize the power of the formation. With her command and dispatch, it would be difficult for Lu Cheng to compete.
The two were evenly matched internally and externally, but at this time, Lin Qinghan appeared and actually married Lu Cheng. She deliberately shared Lu Cheng's worries and took the initiative to visit the True Lord of Bihai Pavilion several times. In addition, Gui Dongmei also did not marry Lu Cheng. I don’t really want to offend Tie Xiao Taoists are a bit more fair in the scheduling of personnel and formations
"The peach blossoms shine brightly. When the son returns, it is suitable for his family."
The peach blossoms are in full bloom. , the colors are bright and bright like fire. This girl has a gentle and gentle temperament. She is about to get married and will make her husband's family harmonious and happy.
After returning to the cave, Lu Cheng hugged his former teacher into his arms.
Lin Qinghan was a little panicked and blushed, but in the end he did not struggle or resist too much.
"Speaking of which, I am still your old master. How could you always be so rude to me? Did you have any ambitions to be a master back then?"
"My little master. , It was obviously you who coveted my Rehmannia glutinosa ginseng, so you had to pay for it, so there is nothing to complain about now.”
The tent was covered with red candles, the phoenixes were entangled, and the brocade was swept up by the waves all night long. joy. Even gods have their spouses. But when you are in that position, you have your own responsibilities. You must not abandon public service for personal reasons, and you must not indulge in excess.
As time goes by, the entire Nanlihai feels more and more oppressive, like a storm is coming.
Lu Cheng originally wanted to use the rescue mission to avoid this disaster, but now he is in a disaster and cannot escape: If you can't avoid it, then don't avoid it. Some disasters are actually a good thing.
More and more monks from the Northern Territory responsible for reconnaissance discovered the traces of the monks from Tiannan near the South Li Sea. The monks gathered in the Northern Territory of Tiannan, wielding swords and riding the wind, and finally had a fight on this vast sea. This should be a killing.
Being in this whirlpool, even Lu Cheng himself was not sure that he would be able to survive. However, with his character, he would never be able to abandon the cultivators and escape alone.
