Chapter 621: Endless Chaos
Hearing this, Cao Wei said slowly: "You make it sound as if my son-in-law is the unlucky star."

"Isn't it? You see, even Qin Feng only made a slight test and didn't dare to really have the intention to kill you, so he was contaminated by this cause and effect." Wuxiang said with a smile.

"If what you said is a compliment, then I will accept it. But you and I should not take it seriously. There are many people like me in this Yuanhui. Where are they now? Those Mahayana monks who have figured out the mystery of Yuanhui have enough time and patience. If I am no longer useful, then I will die and be replaced by someone else. People, don't take yourself too seriously. No one is irreplaceable." Cao Wei said in a light tone.

"Why are you so pessimistic?" Wu Xiang frowned slightly, and then said, "In my daughter's eyes, you are her husband; in An'er's eyes, you are her father; in this old man's eyes, you are her good son-in-law, and no one can replace you!"

"Father-in-law, you and I have known each other for such a long time, don't you know your son-in-law well?" Cao Wei chuckled.

Having said this, he pressed down the cloud and slowly floated down to an ordinary mountain below.

Wuxiang followed behind, and the father-in-law and son-in-law found an open space on the top of the mountain, brushed off the dust with their sleeves, and then sat down cross-legged.

After sitting down, Cao Wei casually broke off a piece of grass from the cracks in the stone beside him, and then sighed softly: "The so-called husband and wife, father and son, are just relationships created by the world or blood. What does this name mean to me? Even if I am gone, won't Yunzhi and An'er still be themselves?"

At this point, he sighed and said, "To me, there are only two kinds of people! One is the self-foolish people. In the world of mortals, they are either unaware or sinking into depravity. In this world, they always like to find troubles for themselves, pay for them, regard them as emotional sustenance, and shape the self in the eyes of others, but in fact they are emotionally empty. The other is the self-reliant people, who may be selfish or self-interested. No matter what their purpose is, it can be said that it is just to achieve their own needs, so they design various frameworks and set up many barriers. They control the economic power of life and death with one hand and control the thoughts of others with the other hand, strangling people's throats and pinching people's weaknesses. With these two methods, they almost control the lives of others."

Upon hearing this, Wuxiang sighed lightly, then looked at the rock tree with twisted branches on the stone peak not far away, and reached out his hand to pick up a leaf from the air.

Then he said slowly, "Why should Xuanhong still be trapped in the past? The world created by Meng Ji is like the Yellow Spring Hell, where people are eaten everywhere, and the cycle continues endlessly, with no end in sight! The life span of people in it is no more than a hundred years, so just be patient and it will pass. Only you, it seems that you have jumped out, but you are still trapped in it. The Buddha said, 'If you are in the hell of no end, you will never die, and a long life is a great calamity in the hell of no end.' You are in the calamity, just like a tree stuck in a crack in a rock."

Having said this, he picked up a leaf and threw it far away.

I saw the leaves flying and floating down on a relatively open area at the foot of the mountain, slanting into the ground.

The next moment, the leaf took root, suddenly rose from the ground, and grew into a towering tree in an instant.

"Let yourself go, and from now on realize Nirvana, escape from the endless hell, and really come to the human world. Perhaps you will have different experiences in this life. You put in a lot of thought to let Xuan Ji take out your eyes, but are you really out of His control? He has already rooted his thoughts in your soul, allowing you to grow into what He wants. The Buddha once appeared in my dream and mentioned this matter. He sighed and said that his cultivation was shallow, and he could not protect Jueyue, nor could he protect you!" Wuxiang sighed lightly.

Hearing this, Cao Wei clasped his hands together and said, "Buddha, have mercy on me!"

This was a rare statement he made from the heart.

"There are countless Buddhas in the three periods of time and ten directions, and you and I are one of them!" Wuxiang said slowly.

Upon hearing this, Cao Wei couldn't help but shook his head and said, "The Buddha seeks the supreme enlightenment through Mahāprajna, gets rid of the ego, and needs to save all living beings, which is beyond my ability."

Hearing this, Wuxiang asked, "Is Buddha in your heart?"

"If life or death, if death or life!" Cao Wei said calmly.

“Since this is the case, it is better to end birth and death, abandon greed and attachment, destroy the body and eliminate wisdom, and regard that as the ultimate goal!” Wuxiang asked.

Upon hearing this, Cao Wei said slowly: "To eliminate all the troubles in the three realms and transcend the cycle of life and death may be a feasible way!"

At this point, he smiled and said, "It's better to save all living beings this way! The sea of ​​suffering is vast, saving oneself is already difficult, how can one save others? Nowadays, the church has opened the door of convenience to guide the world, but it has also allowed countless monsters and demons to sneak in. From emptiness of nature to the existence of all things, to consciousness of all things, how many people can have this kind of awareness? In the end, it is nothing but gradually entering into nothingness, and the Buddha gives rise to the devil's heart. Even Jueyue can't escape such a fate, let alone others. The end of the law is inevitable!"

At this point, he asked again: "How could the Buddha not infer such a situation?"

Upon hearing this, Wuxiang responded: "The teachings are not in the scriptures, nor in the temples. Take off your robes and create a Buddhist kingdom on earth in the mortal world. This is the great wish of the Buddha!"

"But now the Buddha has no choice." Cao Wei said slowly

"If you place your hopes on one person, the final outcome will only be failure. The Buddhist kingdom on earth does not belong to our sect alone, but to everyone." Wuxiang sighed.

"If benefiting all living beings is truly a great aspiration, how can such an illusory thing be realized?" Cao Wei asked.

"All people in this world are suffering because they are too stupid to wake up," Wuxiang said.

"What's the use of waking up?" Cao Wei said with a smile.

"What if we can clear up everything and the world will no longer be filled with suffering?" Wuxiang asked.

"All dharmas are for the purpose of saving all minds. If there are no all minds, what is the use of all dharmas?" Cao Wei asked in return.

At this point, he sighed, "Isn't this a dilemma, with no way forward or backward? Father-in-law, you are even more greedy than me. There is no solution to everything, and everything is just reincarnation!"

"Forget it, forget it. I will do this even if I die nine times without regret!" Wuxiang also looked sad.

In the end, neither of them could convince the other, so they split up and left in the north and south.

Cao Wei walked slowly down the mountain and came to the foot of the mountain. He walked to the side of the towering tree where the leaf grew. He reached out his hand and stroked the rough bark. He suddenly became speechless, as if he was wandering in the void, and did not move.

Seeing this, Zhu Jin appeared and protected the surroundings.

After a long time, Cao Wei suddenly chuckled, as if he had a hint of enlightenment, and then he strode forward slowly.

"Master!" Zhu Jin quickly chased after him.

When it came behind Cao Wei, it couldn't help but ask, "Master, have you realized anything?"

"The universe is endless, why do you need a momentary enlightenment? Any enlightenment will only create confusion." Cao Wei showed a look of delight.

At this point, he laughed out loud and said, "The worries here are all due to our inability to do anything. It's useless to think too much. The road is right under our feet, just keep walking."

All worries are caused by the fact that what you think and want do not go as you expected and are not in line with your wishes, but this is only a matter of the future and is a variable!

Only by going all the way and turning the variables into constants, all the previous problems will be solved! Amidst the laughter, Cao Wei seemed to be reborn, clear inside and out.

And in that empty and dark secret realm, a ray of light suddenly appeared, extremely bright, illuminating the only black mountain in it clearly!

……

……

At this moment, in the Taoist temple, Xuan Ji, who had been hiding from the world, suddenly changed her expression, opened the vertical pupil between her brows, looked towards the spiritual world, and found an illusory long river that reached the sky.

On a lone boat in the river, Shakya was rowing slowly.

As soon as he noticed Xuan Ji, he stopped and said slowly, "Why are you angry, Senior?"

As soon as these words fell, Xuanji's incarnation landed on the lonely boat, walked to the bow, stood beside Xuanji, put his hands behind his back, and said in a deep voice: "You ask even though you know the answer!"

"Senior, your five aggregates are strong. You must know that if you do things too much, your fate will end early." Shakyamuni said slowly.

"With my strength, I can decide the outcome!" Xuan Ji said coldly.

Upon hearing this, Shakya sighed and said, "Senior, why do you have to deceive yourself? If you really believed this, you wouldn't be afraid of Shi Heng now. My true body is trapped in the dojo and can't get out."

"He is just a youngster. If he didn't rely on his immortal body, it would be a piece of cake for me to kill him!" Xuan Ji said.

Hearing this, Shakya put down the boat, sat down cross-legged leisurely, and said slowly: "Is it so difficult for you to admit that you are weak? In the past, Linglong got his remains, and Zhuying stole his Dao fruit and aura. Now this aura has been in your hands for more than ten thousand years. What have you realized from it?"

"I have figured it out myself!" Xuan Ji responded in a ambiguous tone.

As soon as these words fell, Shakya laughed and said, "Why, Senior, you are so used to playing with people's hearts that you even deceive your own heart? It's no wonder that one of your incarnations stole the body of the Devourer of the Underworld and became the extraterritorial demon Po Xun!"

"You really know some secrets!" Xuan Ji said in a deep voice.

"Bo Xun seems to be the inner demon with two sides of the same coin for me, but how could I not know myself?" Sakya shook his head slightly.

Then he said slowly, "In the past, you wanted to use this to control me. You spent all your efforts and thought out all the tricks, but what is fake is fake and cannot be made real! Now you are using the same old method again and trying to control a mere junior like Jueyue. This kind of bullying is too much of a loss of face for us Mahayana cultivators, isn't it?"

"The victor is the king and the loser is the bandit, why do we need others to tell us? You clearly know that Jueyue is one of the incarnations of my mysterious soul. Why do you interfere so recklessly and attract this beast from Sansheng?" Xuanji said.

"Just driving the tiger to devour the wolf." Xuanji said.

At this point, He sighed and said, "Senior, Jueyue is one of your Xuanhun incarnations, but he is also a junior disciple, so you should protect him and move forward. Otherwise, you should not have let him become my disciple from the beginning. Every sip and every bite is a cause and an effect. Don't you think it's too late for you to blame him now?"

"What about Shiheng?" Xuanji asked.

Hearing this, Shakya shook his head slightly: "How can this junior understand clearly? Senior, you should ask Linglong!"

Xuanji said coldly: "Don't think I dare not kill you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Shakya raised his hand and shook it gently, indicating that Shang Fu in the sky should not act rashly.

Then He said slowly, "Life and death are common things. I and Daoist Shang Fu sacrificed our lives to continue the spiritual world. Our end is destined to be the destruction of both body and soul. We no longer have the thought of surviving, and there is no need to threaten you with your life. At our level, what is the joy of living, and what is the sorrow of dying? Senior, you have lived for tens of millions of years. Isn't that enough?"

"Not enough! I want to be an immortal in this life, completely transcending the Three Realms and not being in the Five Elements. I will be immortal and live forever, in the paradise of immortals, without any worries!" Xuan Ji said in a deep voice.

His words revealed endless greed, or perhaps an undying obsession!

Seeing this, Shakya suddenly seemed to understand something, shook his head and said: "In the past, Senior imprisoned Taiyin just to plunder the wisp of corpse-grasping energy it contained? But you were still not satisfied with its influence, and you set your sights on Mingxin, Shiheng, and even Xuanhong, who have not yet attained the Tao? With such insatiable desires, aren't you afraid of being retaliated by it, and finally all your thousands of years of cultivation will be wasted in one day?"

Upon hearing this, Xuanji sneered: "In the past tens of millions of years, I have witnessed the destruction of Lingdai and Lingjiao, and now I am about to witness the fall of Linghuan. Next, it will be either Lingxuan Realm or Linglong Realm where I am. It will take at least 20 to 30 Yuanhui, and at most 40 to 50 Yuanhui. Time is running out!"

At this point, He said in a deep voice: "You have practiced the 'Eternal Life Dao Fruit Sutra' and attained the Mahayana Dao. You have already been in the game. I am different from you!"

"Is it really different? Senior, you are fooling people, but have you ever wondered if you are the same? Although your pair of divine eyes can see through everything, can you really see yourself clearly?" Shakyamuni said with a smile.

"You..." Xuan Ji said in a deep voice.

However, he stopped talking abruptly, and walked away with a wave of his sleeves, leaving behind only one sentence: "I don't need to argue with you any more!"

Hearing this, Shakya slowly stood up, grasped the boat pole again, and gently rowed the boat.

Shang Fu, who was high in the sky, laughed wildly and said, "Xuan Ji is really out of her mind. She actually sat down to discuss philosophy with a bald donkey like you. If it were me, I would slap her in the face and break her sharp tongue, so that you wouldn't be able to say a single word!"

"It's a pity that you can't beat me, so you can only compete with me in vain with your words." Sakya said calmly.

Upon hearing this, Shang Fu's laughter stopped abruptly. He snorted angrily and said, "Okay, okay, if I say one more word to you in the next thousand years, I will write my name upside down!"

"Fu Shang is your name, Shang Fu is your Taoist name. Whether you turn it forward or backward, it's the same!" Shakya laughed.

"You are too honest, which is really annoying!" Shang Fu said with disdain.

As soon as he finished speaking, he no longer paid any attention to Sakya, and immediately flapped his wings and flew high, leading those purified souls into the realm of Taihe and sending them into reincarnation.

And Shakyamuni continued to row the boat gently, traveling upstream along the long river, taking all the karma carried by countless souls into his own body.

His half-dead, half-living body was ignited with a raging fire, burning him into bones, and then his flesh and blood revived again, and the cycle continued endlessly!
