The heavens begin from Pingyang City

Outside the array of cause and effect.

Jiang Yao watched Meng Qi's figure walking into it, with an inexplicable look in his eyes.

In fact, with his current strength, he can easily break through these formations and rescue Abbot Kongwen.

But ever since he met the Seven Kills Taoist, Jiang Yao knew that these people were willing to give Meng Qi some help and cause some trouble for the Demon Buddha.

In this case, why wouldn't Jiang Yao do it?

This formation of cause and effect is the key to Meng Qi's mastery of cause and effect, and it is also related to some of his future opportunities. Jiang Yao is also happy to see it succeed.

The moment he stepped onto the fifth floor, Meng Qi felt that his surroundings suddenly became inexplicably dark.

The depth before my eyes was boundless, as if I was in a vast and boundless universe.

Meng Qi was using the mental method of "Taking Cause and Effect" and combining it with his understanding of the way of cause and effect from the "Yuanshi Golden Chapter". His eyes suddenly became weird, and he couldn't see the bottom at a glance. There seemed to be all kinds of intertwined stars inside.

In Meng Qi's mind, all the floating threads of cause and effect within the scope of his spiritual awareness emerged.

These lines of cause and effect all carry an air of unspeakable danger.

It seems that as long as you touch them and get stuck to them, you will suffer unimaginable terrible consequences.

At this moment, Meng Qi suddenly felt an inexplicable aura rising from the depths of the formation, which resonated with his own mental method of 'causing cause and effect'.

‘This is what Brother Jiang said, can I initially grasp the key to the way of cause and effect? ’

As the thought arose, Meng Qi observed the fluttering of the bright lines of cause and effect nearby through his mind, and planned his way forward.

Suddenly, Meng Qi's heart moved, and his figure started to move instantly.

Following the induction, he easily walked through the lines of cause and effect, seeming to know this place well.

At the beginning, the lines of cause and effect were sparse, the distance between them was huge, and the speed of movement was very slow. Meng Qi felt extremely relaxed, and a golden lotus bloomed with every step he took.

But the further you go towards the eye of the formation, the denser the lines of cause and effect become, and they move faster, like meteors streaking across the sky, forming a brilliant rain.

Meng Qi's "Cause and Effect" mental method was operating at full strength, his mind was concentrated like never before, and he always moved in advance to cross these causal lines at the right time.

Not far from the formation's eye, the line of cause and effect has turned into a real drizzle, bright and flashing, dreamy and charming, and it will be contaminated if you are not careful.

Meng Qi became more and more cautious, going up and down, trying his best to dodge and maneuver, but in the end he couldn't escape.

"That's the least dangerous path!"

Through telekinesis, Meng Qi realized that he couldn't avoid it, so he ran directly into a causal line that felt the least dangerous.

Cause and effect was involved, and Meng Qi's mind buzzed.

The environment in front of him changed, the darkness disappeared, and rolling mountains appeared.

And he himself transformed into the magician Han Guang, wearing a green shirt, standing leisurely on the top of the mountain with his hands behind his back.

Suddenly, an old monk wearing yellow robes and red cassock appeared out of thin air.

Abbot Kongwen!

The appearance of this old monk was deeply remembered by Meng Qi. He was Kong Wen, the Arhat who subdued the Dragon in Shaolin, and could be regarded as his ancestor.

Kong heard that the treasure was majestic, and he clenched his right hand holding the relic into a fist, and struck straight at 'Meng Qi'.

This punch is full of Zen, giving people a sense of self-nature, unpredictable, and calm.

The Dragon-Subduing Divine Fist can subdue the external real dragon and also subjugate one's own 'dragon'.

This is one of the eighteen internal exercises derived from the "Flower Finger". It can achieve the golden body of Arhat subduing the dragon and can develop into the Dharmakaya of Kasyapa.

It was created by Yuan Kong, the sixth generation founder of Shaolin, who practiced the 'Flower Finger' and achieved the Dharma after his death. It can be regarded as opening a door of convenience for future generations of monks.

Although it is still difficult to practice this technique, it is still much easier than directly practicing the 'Flower Finger'.

The Buddha's light was golden and the wind did not move his heart. This punch seemed to come from his own heart.

Meng Qi had no way to dodge, and had no time to dodge. He could only watch the punch hit his forehead.

The sky and the earth were spinning, and the sound of Zen was everywhere. Meng Qi's consciousness was blurred, and at the same time, there was a hint of enlightenment in his heart.

After a while, Meng Qi regained his vision and found that the thread of cause and effect dissipated on its own, leaving a gap to move forward on the left side.

Seizing the opportunity, Meng Qi crossed here and got closer to the formation.

At this time, the array-eye object was already vaguely visible. It seemed to be a vague figure sitting cross-legged, but there was no aura of a living thing.

But at this moment, the threads of cause and effect in front of me are so dense that they almost form a curtain, and there is absolutely no possibility of past.

Meng Qi observed briefly and suddenly crashed into one of the bright star lines.

This is the least dangerous line among all the causal lines, even lower than the one just now.

The mysterious thread of cause and effect touched him, and Meng Qi instantly gained a little more understanding of the way of cause and effect.

Then, as expected, Meng Qi found himself transformed into someone else. In front of him was an old man with a high crown and ancient robes.

His silver hair was like snow, his eyes were filled with wisdom accumulated over the years, and his aura was so far away from heaven and earth that it was almost undetectable.

Meng Qi found that if he closed his eyes, he might think there was no one there.

Before he could be shocked, Meng Qi discovered that this time 'he' was wearing a gray monk's robe and carrying an ordinary sword.

A monk this time?

The old man opposite suddenly sighed: "Ever since I calculated and verified that matter, I knew that such a day would come."

"It's not a good thing to know too much."

What Meng Qi blurted out was not his own, but came from the gray-robed monk's 'instinct reaction'.

The old man smiled bitterly: "Yes, I have already left behind a family motto: Don't calculate all the hexagrams and never do everything. This is the way to survive forever."

Facing a desperate situation, the old man seemed to be somewhat free and easy, jokingly saying: "I don't know what I should call you?"

Before he finished speaking, the sword flashed and the surroundings became dark again.

One after another, illusory and untouchable threads of cause and effect appeared in the eyes of 'Meng Qi', and then the sword used a mysterious trajectory to stick away the threads of cause and effect on the old man's body one by one.

If there is an effect, there must be a cause.

When people live in the world, they are naturally born because of their parents.

Practicing various martial arts is due to inheritance and hard training.

When these 'causes' are all stuck away by the sword, the result will no longer exist.

The old man's body slowly disintegrated, as if he had never been such a person in the world.

It is difficult for Jie Dao to stick to cause and effect for a long time, and they will soon return again.

But the old man's figure has completely disintegrated, the result is destined and cannot be changed, and the cause and effect will naturally not return to him.

The lines of cause and effect collided with each other and violently backfired. The greatest cause and effect was imposed on the gray-robed monk.

Meng Qi opened his eyes, half happy and half shocked.

I am happy that I have experienced the 'sticky cause and effect' sword technique from beginning to end. My soul is lively, my thoughts are agile, and the sword in my hand is about to come out, and I vaguely grasp a lot of mysteries.

What was shocking was that the monk he possessed seemed to be Ananda.

Ananda!

Ananda!

It’s really haunting!

Sighing in his heart, Meng Qi moved his feet lightly and reached the center of the formation.

The figure in the eye of the formation was shrouded in firelight and blurred.

And this fire is caused by a strange line of cause and effect. It is red in color and is obviously different from other lines of cause and effect.

Meng Qi frowned slightly and thought to himself. As someone who knew many of Ananda's secrets, an idea came to his mind.

Could this be a causal line between Ananda and the Demon Saint?

Do you need to be tainted with the karma of Demon Saint, an ancient power, in order to obtain the Eye of Formation?

Meng Qi couldn't help but break into a cold sweat, and had the idea of ​​going back to Jiang Yao to find a solution.

However, when he calmed down and observed, he found that there was no chance.

Because he didn't notice any danger on this causal line, not as dangerous as Han Guang's.

Although he didn't understand why the line of cause and effect left by the most powerful Demon Saint was safer than most?

But Meng Qi can make some positive judgments with the help of the two causal lines he just experienced.

For the sake of mastering the key to cause and effect in the eyes of the formation!

Thinking about it, Meng Qi exhaled, calmed down the fear and anxiety in his heart, and took the initiative to touch the fiery red causal thread.

Silently, the heaven and earth changed, everything seemed to be melted, and all the principles of the law were supporting a purple flame.

The purple-red fire was brilliant and bright, and there was a person standing inside.

He is tall and slender, wearing a crimson female imperial robe.

His facial features were the most perfect existence that Meng Qi had ever seen, and it was difficult to describe in words.

It seems that no matter what type of appearance you like, you can find the satisfaction you dream of on her face.

She has a noble temperament, a graceful appearance like fire, a cold expression, and cold eyes. She holds a dark red spear in both hands.

As expected, it was Demon Saint Feng Xi.

As the thought arose, Meng Qi found that he had once again transformed into a monk, wearing a white monk's robe, holding a rosary in his left hand, and a sword hanging down in his right hand.

It’s Ananda again!

I really have a fate with him!

The demon saint on the opposite side took a step forward, pointed the dark red spear diagonally at the center of his eyebrows, and asked coldly:

"Why don't you swing the knife?"

"The poor monk cannot wield this sword."

Ananda in the white monk's robe raised his left hand and said softly.

The Demon Saint took another step and said with a tone of hidden hatred:

"Then why was it able to play last time?"

Ananda was speechless and recited the sutra in a low voice.

Golden lotuses are blooming all around, and flowers are falling from the sky, all with the color of glass.

The demon saint stopped talking, shook his hands, and pointed his spear at Ananda's eyebrows like a real dragon out of the sea.

The purple-red flames condensed and transformed into the shape of a phoenix.

The heaven and earth were burned by it, the principles of law melted, and all things were burned away.

Ananda seemed to have given up resistance and allowed the spear to hit his forehead.

Pain suddenly hit Meng Qi's heart, and he felt that every part of his body was melting, his soul burned violently, and unspeakable pain burst out, the ultimate pain.

His breath was filled with flames, and Meng Qi saw that his skin and flesh were scorching, even melting into fire-colored water, and everything in his vision was purple-red.

Vaguely, Meng Qi heard the slightly surprised voice of the Demon Saint:

"Hmph, the method of reincarnation!"

Vaguely, Meng Qi saw the Demon Saint draw out his spear and say in a cold voice:

"If you have a heart that is unwilling to give up, you will be in ruins for the rest of your life. Even if you understand thousands of dharma, it will be difficult to see your true colors!"

"If you reincarnate for one lifetime, I will kill you for the rest of your life until your mark is completely dissipated!"

The red figure walked away proudly, and the burning began to subside.

As the coolness hit him, Meng Qi held on until the end, and a thought emerged in his mind:

‘Is this the reason why the demon-monster, Xi Ananda, who broke the precepts with the sword, was punished by you? ’

As he thought, his vision returned to normal, and the strange red causal lines began to dissipate, slowly revealing the figure in the formation's eye.

Meng Qi waited with bated breath, feeling a little uneasy. Is this the key that Brother Jiang said he could initially grasp the way of cause and effect?

What could it be?

In a secret place somewhere.

There is a black gold gun with phoenix wings that has no breath and no power.

Suddenly the spear let out a soft groan, and hundreds of birds sang in unison in the surrounding heaven and earth!

"The Demonic Holy Spear shows signs of awakening!"

A voice blurted out in surprise.

Meng Qi stood in front of the formation, watching the red thread of cause and effect turn into flowing light and slowly disintegrate.

It's like a door slowly opening to reveal what's inside.

It is a wooden sculpture of a white-robed monk with a handsome appearance and a bitter look on his face, as if he is worrying about the world of mortal suffering.

Ananda!

This was the first time Meng Qi saw Ananda's true face, and he finally appeared after being shrouded in mist.

But Meng Qi was not surprised. Instead, his mind buzzed, and a storm broke out in his heart, and he could no longer control himself.

Ananda's facial features were completely different from Meng Qi's, but when he saw Ananda, Meng Qi felt like he was seeing himself.

Especially at this time, Meng Qi was also dressed in moon-white monk robes, and he looked inexplicably similar to Ananda.

he is me?

Am I him?

The deepest worry and greatest worry in Meng Qi's heart seemed to have turned into reality at this moment.

The parchment left by the Demon Lord with the words 'So that's it' appeared in Meng Qi's mind.

When he received the inheritance of the true meaning of Ananda's Pojie Sword, the person in his memory finally realized it. After saying "That's it", the figure of the ancient Buddha of Qingdeng who accompanied him throughout his life appeared in Meng Qi's mind.

Everything in front of him shows that this may also be Meng Qi's future fate.

I don't know when, the wood carving changed. The left side of the body has gone through many vicissitudes of life. It is real and unique, giving people a feeling that it cannot be changed.

The right side of the body is hazy, as if condensed by countless starlights, changing indefinitely and hard to figure out.

At this moment, Jiang Yao's explanation of the unsolvable principle of 'causing the sword with cause and effect' emerged in Meng Qi's mind, giving rise to countless insights.

In the end, the sentiments were reduced to one sentence: ‘The past remains unchanged, but the future is uncertain! ’

Buzz

Meng Qi's mind was shaken. He had an unprecedented understanding of the 'sticky cause and effect' sword, and finally understood the true meaning of this unsolvable sword.

At this moment, darkness appeared around Meng Qi, and bright star lines stood out.

His hand holding the knife seemed to be loose or tight, and it no longer felt difficult to draw the knife.

Meng Qi finally mastered the real "karma".

'Sure enough, as Brother Jiang said, this is the key to me mastering the law of cause and effect, but'

Zheng

The long knife made a soft sound, drew a beautiful trajectory, and gently picked at the dark place.

The Ananda wooden sculpture in front of Meng Qi suddenly shattered, and all the threads of cause and effect suddenly lost control, intertwined, collapsed, and exploded silently.

Calm returned to the fifth level, and the mountain peak was exposed. Meng Qi stood there and whispered to himself:

"No matter what the reasons are, I am who I am, not anyone else!"

"Since you are dead, then die well!"

"exactly!"

At some point, Jiang Yao stood quietly next to Meng Qi and said with a smile: "I will always know Shaolin's Zhending little monk, not an old guy who is dead but not frozen."

"Brother Jiang!"

Seeing Jiang Yao's figure, Meng Qi's uneasiness disappeared for some reason.

Perhaps it was because Jiang Yao had always acted almost omnipotent and omniscient in front of him.

Meng Qi gave a brief summary of what he experienced in the formation of ‘karma and karma’.

Jiang Yao said in an incomprehensible tone: "That old man should be an ancestor of the Jiangdong Wang family in the medieval era, one of the several saints in the Middle Ages. As for the Demon Saint, as an extremely noble innate saint and one of the five ancient emperors, I still think he will not There must be some other reason for the relationship with Ananda!"
