Practice begins with using the Six Dings and Six Jias

"Wait, you just said that the timeline was swapped, which is why this jade Buddha statue stayed here."

Xu Qing discovered a loophole in Zhuang Yan's words.

The reason why this jade Buddha, which should have disappeared, appears here.

Because of the interference of Patriarch Xuanzhen, a certain timeline of Leiyin Temple and the ancient Leiyin Temple was exchanged.

But the timeline swap should be over.

This jade Buddha statue should return to its original world.

"That's how it should be." Zhuang Yan looked at Xu Qing, "But has the timeline really been switched?"

"This..." Xu Qing frowned.

Suddenly I thought that with the help of the power of the new talisman, I should be able to return to the cause and effect where I am.

After all, that was the cause and effect that he had actually experienced.

When Xu Qing first jumped to the Leiyin Buddhist Kingdom in the normal timeline, he thought that his power could not be transmitted to such a long-lasting cause and effect.

But now listen to Zhuang Yan's words
If you think about it carefully, Patriarch Xuanzhen was able to use cause and effect to travel to a more distant past.

Then his new magic talisman also possesses similar power as the causal monster, so why can't he do it?
After all, the power of cause and effect can transcend time.

As long as he finds the "cause" or "effect", he can go to the corresponding "effect" and "cause" location.

perhaps
It's not that he lacks strength.

But there is a problem in this cause and effect.

The timeline has not been completely replaced!

The two timelines are intertwined and entangled with each other, causing them to become entangled!
"It seems you have thought of something." Zhuang Yan exhaled silently.

“Actually, this situation is beyond my comprehension.”

"I have survived for so many years, and my understanding of cause and effect, and even time, has become increasingly profound."

“But this situation is still beyond my expectations.”

"The reason why I pretend to be Master Yongji is to maintain the false peace here."

"Xuan Zhen asked me to come here temporarily to fix the entanglement of cause and effect and time here."

"Necessarily, these causes and effects and times become more confusing."

"Otherwise I wouldn't want to expose myself and do something so completely thankless."

Of course, if it was only Xuan Zhen who asked him to do so, Zhuang Yan might not necessarily do anything.

However, the current situation in Leiyin Buddhist Kingdom is showing a tendency to move towards the Yuanfu Temple of Taoist Zhenqian’s generation.

Zhuang Yan naturally knew exactly what this meant.

He still understands the principle that no eggs will be left unbroken when the nest is overturned.

What's more, he really didn't want to see the same thing that happened in Yuanfu Temple by Taoist Zhen Qian's generation happen again.

He looked at the disordered and indescribable monster from a long distance and still felt his scalp tingling.

It was a monster among monsters that he participated in and actively created.

Because I have seen it, I am afraid.

So I don't want that thing to appear again.

Even though I understand that this is likely to be a futile effort.

Because the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster will appear in this world.

Then this kind of monster or vision that serves as a "precursor" will surely continue to appear in the future.

You can stop one, but you can't stop thousands.

But Zhuang’s current thought was to stop as many as possible.

Especially since there may be a way around it.

The "cause" that gives birth to the causal monster will definitely appear.

"Precursors" will inevitably appear.

But perhaps this phenomenon can be kept within certain limits.

Or perhaps it could guide these monster-like and vision-like things to erupt at a specific place and time.

If there is a way to do it, the harm caused will be much less.

At that time, the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster will still appear.

But before it appears, the damage caused to the world can be minimized.

"Freeze the time and cause and effect that are entangled here?" Xu Qing repeated Zhuang Yan's words.

"You can do it?"

"What are you talking about?" Zhuang Yan smiled.

"You are not doubting the truthfulness of what I said, but doubting my ability."

Xu Qing ignored Zhuang Yan's laughter and continued to stare at him seriously.

Zhuang Yan laughed and shook his head: "You really doubt me on this point."

"Yes, I can't compare with you and Xuan Zhen."

“But if we really talk about cause and effect and time.”

"I can say that." Zhuang Yan's tone revealed unprecedented pride and arrogance.

"No one in this world is stronger than me."

"Even if you, my senior brother, have a great understanding of karma, you are still far behind me."

"Not to mention that this person has the ability to cut off cause and effect with the help of the magic scroll."

"What do you mean?" Jing Qing frowned and looked coldly.

"Don't you understand what this means?"

Zhuang Yan spread his hands, which made Jing Qing want to roll up his sleeves and hit him.

"In this world, there are only two anomalies, you and Xuan Zhen, who are created by the intervention of the Heavenly Dao to save the world."

"There's no comparison at all."

"In cause and effect and time, I am the highest peak!"

Xu Qing nodded and acknowledged it.

Zhuang Yan’s attainments in cause and effect and time can indeed be considered number one.

But that's just not enough.

"No matter how strong you are, you are still powerless to suppress the precursor of the 'cause' that gave birth to the causal monster, right?"

Xu Qing already understood.

Leiyin Buddha Kingdom is the first stopover of the causal monster that came to their world from the sea of ​​suffering in the past worlds due to the incident of Emperor Ming.

In a sense, not ordinary.

Therefore, the precursor of the "cause" for the birth of the causal monster will occur here after hundreds of years.

It is in the Leiyin Buddha Kingdom.

What Zhuang Yan is doing now is to prevent the cause and effect and time here from becoming disordered like the last time in Yuanfu Temple.

But how could Zhuang Yan do this?
Just because he can do this doesn't mean others can do it.

No matter how high your attainments are, facing something that goes against common sense, unless they are extremely high, it will be of little use.

"I really can't hide it from you." Zhuang Yan smiled bitterly.

"Strictly speaking, this incident was caused by that karma monster and Xuanzhen."

"He certainly has a way to help me."

"As for what method, I'm sorry I can't tell you."

"Now that it has come to this, who gives you the right to refuse?" Jing Qing shouted.

"No need to use all that good and bad face tricks." Zhuang Yan shook his head.

"I really can't tell you that. Xuanzhen put a seal on me."

"Then don't tell me. I will naturally find Master Xuan Zhen and ask for clarification." Xu Qing did not force the matter to continue.

"I can't answer this question, so I asked another question."

"How did Xuanzhen do it?"

"He just took over the body of the causal monster. I can understand that he can manipulate cause and effect, but why can he replace the timeline?"

If Patriarch Xuanzhen has such ability, why should we ask him for the power of the river of time?
"Well, who said it was Xuan Zhen who did it?" Zhuang Yan smiled strangely.

"Isn't it Master Xuan Zhen?" Xu Qing was stunned.

Who else could it be if not Master Xuan Zhen?
At that time, apart from the causal monster, the three-headed dragon descendant of the four seas, Master Yongji, and Wei Sheng, there were only him and Master Xuanzhen. Others simply did not have this ability.

Could it be that at that time there were helpers of Master Xuan Zhen that he didn't know about?

"Who is it?" Xu Qing asked anxiously.

Zhuang Yan looked around.

"Is it possible that the great Buddhas of all generations here, or the monks who escaped from the ancient Leiyin Temple, did this?"

"How did they do that when they were already dead?"

Xu Qing had no doubts, but he just couldn't understand how these dead people could do that.

"Because at that point in time, they were not dead yet."

"You don't really think that Xuan Zhen spent a thousand years just to build a cause-and-effect relationship with the great Buddhas of all generations, and thus create a cause-and-effect road, do you?"

“He does a lot more than you think.”

"When he appeared here, the cause and effect of all the great Buddhas of all generations gathered together at this point in time."

When Xu Qing heard this, his eyes suddenly focused.

To a certain extent, living things are made up of a series of causes and effects.

When the great Buddhas of all generations and the monks who escaped from the ancient Leiyin Temple appeared here.

Meaning that at that point in time they were all alive. !
"We are at this moment, but we are at that time and moment." Zhuang Yan's voice continued.

"It's too complicated. I don't understand how it was done."

"But Hyunjin did exactly that."

“Summon all the things on this cause and effect. Then let these people create this miracle.”

"Replace the timeline of cause and effect at both ends of this cause and effect."

Although he understood what he heard, Xu Qing still found it a little unbelievable.

"What is the reason for Master Xuanzhen to do this?"

After learning that the timeline of Leiyin Buddha Kingdom had been replaced.

And it is vaguely related to Master Xuanzhen.

Xu Qing never understood why Master Xuanzhen did this.

What is the reason for the replacement timeline?

Especially since this matter will have serious consequences.

"Xuan Zhen must have his reasons for doing this. He didn't tell me." Zhuang Yan spread his hands.

"But I have some guesses, would you like to hear them?"

"Tell me about it." Xu Qing nodded.

"First of all, Xuanzhen may need a less dangerous springboard."

"He kept walking along the path of cause and effect, and he must have wanted to go to a more distant past."

"But at that time when the immortals disappeared, it was too dangerous."

"So he might have thought of replacing the two timelines, so that he could get through the most dangerous time and go to the time when the saints are still there."

This reason does make some sense.

They speculate that the disappearance of the immortals may be related to the causal monsters.

It is very likely that Patriarch Xuanzhen used this method to conceal the truth, avoid those causal monsters and go to an earlier history.

"What about the second one?" Xu Qing asked.

"This is the second one." Zhuang Yan pointed to the jade Buddha statue that was the incarnation of the true Buddha.

"Maybe I left this for you."

"Left it for me?"

"Yes." Zhuang Yan replied, "Didn't you, like Xuan Zhen, use the ancestors of Yuan Fu Temple to build a causal road to the past?"

"But I think that the end of that road cannot reach the time before the immortals and gods completely disappeared."

“But with this, you have the potential to go.”

"Otherwise, I really don't understand why Xuanzhen deliberately left this thing behind?"

Xu Qing shook his head: "If it was really left to me by Master Xuan Zhen, why didn't he say it clearly at the time?"

"He could have told me."

"If I hadn't tried to go back to the cause and effect in the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, I wouldn't have discovered the abnormality of the Leiyin Buddha Kingdom."

"There are too many uncertainties here."

"Even if Master Xuanzhen can see the future with the help of cause and effect, there is no guarantee that the future will appear as he wants, right?"

"Besides, he said at the time that he couldn't influence the past or the future."

After hearing what Xu Qing said, Zhuang Yan stroked his chin and pondered:

"You make a lot of sense. So this isn't what Xuanzhen left for you?"

"Someone else? Who could it be?"

Xu Qing remembered that when he entered the Ten Thousand Buddha Cave, he had ordered Qiuniu and others to smash the Buddha statue in the main hall.

If that's the case, then maybe he himself is already in that cause and effect.

It was those monks who escaped from the ancient Leiyin Temple who wanted him to go to the time when the ancient Leiyin Temple was destroyed.

To punish him?
This is making a fuss over nothing.

Of course, he knocked down the Buddha statue, which violated the Buddhist taboo and was indeed wrong.

But it's not necessary for me to want to pull him in front of me and punish him after all these years.

So, there must be other reasons.

Xu Qing thought about it over and over again, but still had no clue.

Since he couldn't think of it, he stopped thinking about it.

There's no need to think about it, he'll have to leave sooner or later.

In that case, it would be better to wait until he meets those monks and ask them in person.

"No matter who left it here, this jade Buddha statue is most likely meant for me." Xu Qing's eyes darkened.

"I want to take this jade Buddha statue away."

"Just run away." Zhuang Yan didn't care.

"That's what happened. I've explained everything I can."

"This matter is over, but what about Master's matter?" Jing Qing said in a deep voice.

"I regret what happened in the past, but it was destined to happen." Zhuang Yan felt a little guilty.

"There's no need to settle accounts with me right now."

"Besides, I still need to maintain the cause and effect and time here. If you do anything bad to me, the consequences will be very serious."

"I won't kill you." Jingqing's eyes were sharp.

"Is it okay to give you a beating?"

"Logically, it's okay. I deserve this beating."

"But it's better not to have it if possible." Zhuang Yan is very single.

"Okay." Xu Qing nodded, "Senior sister, senior brother, don't pursue the matter of our master with him for now."

"Let him make amends now."

Xu Qing looked at Zhuang Yan: "I hope you can maintain the cause and effect and time here no matter what."

"You should know that if left unchecked, the consequences here will be the same as what happened to Yuanfu Temple."

Zhuang Yan frowned and said, "I took action just to prevent this kind of thing from happening again."

"Otherwise I want to hide, and no one can find me."

"Okay." Xu Qing was very satisfied with Zhuang Yan's attitude.

At least he really realized the mistake of artificially creating the causal monster.

"There are some things I still want to understand. I will stay here for a while."

Xu Qing somehow sensed some key information from Zhuang Yan's words just now.

But this information is shrouded in a very thick fog.

He could never see it clearly, he could only vaguely see the vague outline but could not see its true appearance.

Xu Qing thought that he might be able to figure it out in the Ten Thousand Buddha Caves. (End of this chapter)
