Practice begins with using the Six Dings and Six Jias

The situation that happened to Zhuang Yan surprised Xu Qing.

No wonder Zhuang Yan said that the cause and effect of the entire Leiyin Buddha Kingdom can be determined here.

So that the cause and effect of this place will not become completely disordered like the last time at Yuanfu Temple.

But it is only a stopgap measure.

Eventually, these causes and effects will eventually reach a point of complete collapse.

This would be the first real “precursor”.

Think of this.

Xu Qing sighed.

The people and things in this place are destined to cease to exist.

Zhuang Yan knew why Xu Qing sighed.

"If the 'cause' that gave rise to the causal monster disappears, will these things be put right?"

The existence of causal monsters is not included in the rules of the operation of heaven.

They are unexpected variables.

When everything is over, perhaps God will put everything back on the right track.

For example, the people and monks in the Leiyin Buddha Kingdom.

If there were no causal monsters and the "cause" that gave birth to causal monsters.

Then their lives might be ordinary.

But it is such an ordinary life that is precious.

After hearing what Zhuang Yan said, Xu Qing was still not sure.

Even if the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster is finally solved.

Will the things in the past with the causal monster change?

"What clues did you mention?" Zhuang Yan was a little curious.

Xu Qing shook his head.

"I don't know either, I just have a feeling."

As he spoke, he looked towards the jade Buddha statue.

"Perhaps this is related to the theory of cause and effect. Buddhism is the most proficient in it."

“The presence of this jade Buddha statue here may have other meanings.”

Zhuang Yan simply sat cross-legged on the ground, facing the jade Buddha statue.

"You are right. When it comes to cause and effect, among all the sects and lineages in the world, Buddhism is the most deeply involved in this field.

"But if this jade Buddha statue really contains the "cause" for the birth of the causal monster, why would Xuanzhen just ignore it?"

Xu Qing's eyes were fixed.

"Maybe he knows that only I can find this clue."

As he spoke, Xu Qing summoned out the "True Talisman of the Three Caves of Shangqing Merged into One to Transform into a Holy Immortal to Subdue External Demons".

He asked himself that he did not do better than Master Xuanzhen in the matter of causal monsters, nor did he know more about it than Master Xuanzhen.

The only difference from Master Xuanzhen is——

This is a new talisman.

This is something he has that Master Xuanzhen does not.

It is also the key to dealing with causal monsters.

Xu Qing thought, perhaps the clue he had sensed fell here.

Zhuang Yan looked at the new magic scroll, his eyes filled with inquiry.

Someone like him who is deeply entangled with the causal monster can clearly sense the power of this magic talisman.

Zhuang Yan felt deeply moved, thinking that he was indeed God’s own son.

Feeding your child yourself, I really can’t envy you enough.

Xu Qing activated the power of the new magic talisman and placed it on the jade Buddha statue.

The result was like a drop in the ocean, with no response at all.

"Did I guess wrong?" This thought crossed Xu Qing's mind.

Then he shook his head again.

It's not that easy.

After all, it involves the "cause" of the birth of causal monsters.

If it were so simple, Patriarch Xuanzhen would not have been able to catch a glimpse of the "cause" that gave birth to the causal monster just last time in the past thousand years.

Xu Qing was not discouraged and continued to try.

While activating the power of the talisman, he also used the "Flower Blooms Instantly" among the Thirty-Six Tiangang Techniques.

With the help of the power of time, we can trace the past of this jade Buddha statue.

Zhuang Yan didn't dare to disturb Xu Qing, but he didn't leave either.

As long as he is the Master of Eternal Silence, he is in the Buddha Land of Leiyin.

Then his identity and role as an "anchor" will not disappear.

Zhuang Yan was very curious about the power of this magic talisman.

He sensed a very special aura from it.

Some are similar to causal monsters, but they are completely different.

If the causal monster is a "rat".

That part is the "cat".

Therefore, this magic talisman can have a restraining effect on the causal monster.

The other part is the breath of Taoism.

This is not surprising.

After all, "Lu" is a Taoist thing.

It's not surprising that it has the aura of Taoism.

What surprised Zhuang Yan was that there seemed to be a lot included in this.

This made him a little weird.
He was also a disciple of Yuanfu Temple, so naturally he had some understanding of the Dharma talismans.

The Dharma talisman can bless the holder, but its effect should be on a certain path.

For example, the "Kaoshaolu", the person holding the talisman, such as the Tianguan of the Ministry of Personnel, can perform the assessment and examination of other Taoist disciples.

All subsequent upgrades of the talisman will continue to deepen this aspect.

There may be more power and more blessings coming.

They are just branches of this path.

In essence, Dharma talismans are a manifestation of the Great Way.

Except for some special paths, the talisman you hold means which path you will take.

Those who hold the "Kaozhao Lu" follow the "path of precepts".

If you want to discipline others, you must first discipline yourself.

Another example is the “War Master Path”, those who follow this path must hold the “War Talisman”.

However, Xu Qing's new magic talisman did not give him such a feeling.

But it is all-encompassing.

Even if you follow the path of all dharmas, it shouldn't be like this.

If Zhuang Yan knew that Xu Qing's new magic talisman was named "Three Caves of Shangqing", he would not be surprised.

But perhaps it will be even more unexpected.

Because this does not conform to the rules of the Dharma.

The Dharma Talisman is the manifestation of the Great Way, it is a path, and even the path of all dharmas is just a path.

The three Shangqing caves correspond to the three thousand great ways.

Zhuang Yan’s thoughts turned to this, thinking that the real culprit was right in front of him.

Instead of racking your brains to figure it out, you might as well ask the person involved.

He expressed his doubts.

Xu Qing didn't tell him the name of his magic talisman either.

"The Three Caves of Shangqing." Zhuang Yan muttered the name.

The light in his eyes became brighter and brighter.

Suddenly he raised his head and said to Xu Qing:
"How about you absorb this jade Buddha statue into the talisman?"

Xu Qing frowned when he heard it.

"Use the magic scroll to absorb the jade Buddha statue."

"That's right." There was a strange glint in Zhuang Yan's eyes.

"Don't you think it's strange?"

"This new talisman you hold was formed under the interference of the Heavenly Dao. It was created to restrain the causal monster."

"It was born out of necessity and appeared for a specific task."

"It's not surprising that it can be effective against causal monsters."

“But it’s quite surprising that it includes all the contents of the Sangcheong Three Caves.”

"This. Think about it, even the Heavenly Dao can't do it, right?"

Xu Qing started to think after hearing this.

With the interference of Heaven, it is indeed normal to form a force against causal monsters.

The Three Shangqing Caves are the Taoist canon formed after countless years of development.

There are many things in here that do not exist in this world.

Because one part of it is an ancient Taoist gate.

That is to say, it was formed when the heavens and myriad worlds had not yet been differentiated.

The laws of nature in this world only control this world.

The ancient Taoist gate was located in the primitive land where there was no distinction between humans and gods at that time.

The two are simply not comparable.

Think of this.

Xu Qing's mind suddenly moved. Could it be that the Dao Sect also contributed to the formation of his magic scroll?

Because he is a Taoist disciple, he can intervene without the help of any intermediary.

"You thought of it, didn't you?" Zhuang Yan's eyes lit up.

"Your talisman can be named 'Three Caves of Shangqing'. Perhaps its roots are not in the Way of Heaven, but in Taoism."

Zhuang Yan raised his hand and pointed at the jade Buddha statue in front of him.

"Buddhism cannot directly intervene like Taoism by relying on your identity as a Taoist disciple."

"So they left you this jade Buddha statue."

"This is the incarnation of a true Buddha as rumored."

"Although he is dead now, his rank still exists."

"If your talisman can devour this jade Buddha statue, the power of Buddhism will also be within your control."

"In particular, Buddhism's attainments in the law of cause and effect are unparalleled."

"With the blessing of Buddhist power, you can do more."

“Perhaps we can trace the cause of the birth of the causal monster.”

“This is the source of your mysterious induction.”

When Xu Qing heard what Zhuang Yan said, he felt that there was some truth in it.

But it didn't move.

Zhuang Yan was puzzled when he saw this: "Am I wrong?"

“If you haven’t tried it yet, you naturally don’t know whether it’s right or wrong.”

"Then why not give it a try."

"This is a true incarnation of Buddha." Xu Qing's expression was solemn.

"Are you sure he's really dead?"

"If he is not dead, and I use the talisman to absorb him, will I devour him, or will he devour me?"

"This..." Zhuang Yan was just excited and really didn't think of this.

Yes, if this true Buddha is not dead.

With the power of Buddha, how could a mere mortal like Xu Qing have the ability to resist?

As for the True Buddha, he can use this to devour the Dharma talisman, and even Xu Qing.

Hard to say.

But there is precedent in——

Xuanzhen.

He refined his entire life into the magic talisman.

Xuan Zhen can do it, but Zhen Fo can’t?
At that time, Xuan Zhen's consciousness had already transferred to the body of the causal monster.

Therefore, one's life and soul are refined into the Dharma talisman.

It just allows the talisman to exist and possess other magical powers.

But if the true Buddha's body is not dead.

Can the magic talisman be snatched from Xu Qing?

This is very likely.

Zhuang Yan was not a kid. He believed that all the immortals and saints in heaven were dedicated to serving the sentient beings in the three realms.

Perhaps this is the case for the gods who are bound by their priesthood.

Because the priesthood and heavenly laws bind them.

No matter how unwilling they are, they will act according to their duties and the laws of heaven.

But this is a Buddha statue in Buddhism.

It’s true that Buddhism advocates compassion, but haven’t there been many evil things done by monks throughout history?
"You are right to have this concern." Zhuang Yan nodded.

But this puts the problem into a dilemma.

Xu Qing exhaled silently: "Let's try other methods first."

"If it doesn't work, we'll talk about it later."

"Yeah." Zhuang Yan didn't say anything else.

After all, it was not him who took the risk, but Xu Qing.

Xu Qing continued to try various excavations on the jade Buddha statue.

At the same time, I was thinking in my heart.

He had a feeling that what Zhuang Yan said might be right.

Devour this true Buddha incarnation, outside the heavenly way and Taoism of this world, and then integrate the power of Buddhism.

A talisman that represents an unprecedented fusion of Buddhism and Taoism.

In particular, Buddhism has a deep understanding of the law of cause and effect.

Whether it is dealing with causal monsters or going upstream with the help of the causal road in the future.

With the blessing of Buddhism, you will definitely be more confident.

But his concerns were also valid.

Patriarch Xuanzhen was able to refine his entire life and soul into the Dharma talisman.

The process of him devouring the incarnation of the true Buddha was not much different from this.

Possible consequences include:

1. This true Buddha has indeed fallen.

Therefore, when he devoured the incarnation of the true Buddha, it would only add the power of Buddhism to his talismans.

Both the talisman and he will benefit a lot.

Second, this true Buddha has not fallen.

Instead, he planned to use this method to seize the magic talisman.

I can take this burden off his shoulders.

Xu Qing was happy to see it happen.

But the question is, what will the True Buddha do after seizing this talisman?
Will it continue to be used in this world, or will it have other uses?
Or rather, is it used to protect Buddhism?

Xu Qing couldn't be sure.

Third, the consciousness of this true Buddha had actually been replaced by a causal monster a long time ago.

This may be difficult, but it is not impossible for causal monsters.

Finally, there is a little concern. After the Dharma talisman devoured the incarnation of the true Buddha, whether it would have any impact on him personally.

Is it possible to do an alternative kind of "possession"?

After all, the talisman and the holder of the talisman are one and the same.

These are the points where Xu Qing hesitated.

But no matter how he activated the power of the talisman.

No clues about the "cause" for the birth of the causal monster can be dug out from this true Buddha incarnation.

As time went by, Xu Qing's heart couldn't help but sink.

Is this the only way?

Xu Qing couldn't make up his mind for a moment.

Just then.

Xu Qing suddenly felt something strange coming from the magic talisman.

No, it’s not the talisman, but the thing in the talisman space!

Ever since the talisman was upgraded, the thing in the talisman space also fell into a deep sleep.

Xu Qing didn't expect it to wake up at this time.

And conveys a sense of desire.

Longing for this true incarnation of Buddha!

Xu Qing's eyes flickered.

I took a deep breath. After thinking about it, I couldn't think of any other solution.

At this time, the strange thing in the talisman sent out a feeling of desire again.

That means Zhuang Yan’s guess is very likely correct.

He needs to use the magic talisman to devour this incarnation of the true Buddha.

Instead of continuing to hesitate here, it is better to give it a try.

Xu Qing gritted his teeth, and the magic talisman suddenly evolved into a mixed hole.

The chaotic cave was suspended in the air, and the incarnation of the true Buddha should have been as stable as a mountain underneath.

There was movement at this time.

It actually threw itself into the chaotic hole.

Since Xu Qing has made the decision, he will not hesitate.

The consciousness combines with the Dharma Talisman and enters into the Dharma Talisman space.

As soon as he entered, Xu Qing saw a bright and brilliant image of Buddha sitting cross-legged in the void.

With his hands clasped together, his eyes look kind.

When he saw Xu Qing appear, he smiled.

Xu Qing was shocked. This incarnation of the true Buddha really had not yet completely fallen.

But the subsequent developments were beyond his expectations.

The incarnation of the true Buddha sang:
"If I don't go to hell, who will?"

Immediately, the entire body began to gradually disintegrate, turning into streams of light that merged into the large cocoon formed by the strange thing in the magic space.

The big cocoon beat rapidly, conveying a strong desire.

Faced with the influx of golden fireflies, they devoured them frantically like hungry baby birds.

This scene is quite similar to the scene where Buddha cut off his flesh to feed the eagle.

at the same time.

Xu Qing could feel a force growing in his body, helping him to advance his cultivation rapidly. (End of this chapter)
