Embers of Sword

Chapter 346 Light
A faint green light surged above the purple and green treasure ship.

Fragments of the law of cause and effect condensed at Miyun's brow. The little monk sitting in the wheelchair looked empty-minded as he looked into the distance, his face shrouded in holy light.

"Shh!"

Miaozhen waved her sleeves casually and released the Buddhist kingdom, covering the small area where the few people were.

“Is this the Tanluan Buddha bone?”

Master Junshan narrowed his eyes and stared intently at the green light on Miyun's forehead.

If you look closely, you will find that there are obscure words within the green light.

It's all Buddhist Sanskrit.

"Reincarnation the day after tomorrow is unheard of..."

Junshan looked at it for a long time but didn't understand. He walked around the wheelchair and murmured, "After Tanluan's death, his spirit should have dissipated between heaven and earth. After hundreds of years, how did Miyun open this spiritual inheritance?"

“The words cause and effect are very mysterious.”

Miao Zhen said calmly: "Even a figure like the 'Zen Master' cannot say that he has comprehended the cause and effect. The power of the Dao Principle that the Saint Monk Tanluan possesses is the most top-level Dao Principle... The Taoist 'Tianyuan Mountain' has accumulated heroic souls for thousands of years, and the 'Xuanshui Dongtian' of the Dasui Sword Palace also has sages from past generations. The Fanyin Temple naturally has a way to pass on this extremely rare cause and effect Dao Principle."

Junshan shook his head and said no more.

After a while.

The green light gradually dissipated, and the young monk sitting in the wheelchair let out a long breath.

Miyun looked very tired.

Sweat seeped out and soaked the shirt.

"My benefactor..."

He looked at Xie Xuanyi and said in a hoarse voice: "I saw... the light."

"bright?"

When these two words came out, not only Xie Xuanyi, but also Miao Zhen and Jun Shan were all stunned.

"Little monk, tell me in detail...what did you see? What does 'light' mean?"

Junshan frowned.

He is impatient and hates riddles that are difficult to guess.

"Light... is light."

Miyun spoke wearily, "There was a dazzling light everywhere. There was only light in the sky. Everything disappeared, leaving only the light."

"This……"

Junshan didn't know what to say for a moment.

He looked at Miaozhen.

Miaozhen shook his head, indicating that he didn't understand the meaning of this "light" either.

"Is this the guidance of the law of cause and effect?"

Xie Xuanyi raised his eyebrows and asked.

"……Yes."

Miyun said weakly: "This is the first time I have used this power. I never thought it would be successful."

He stretched out two fingers and gently touched the center of his forehead.

The green light dissipated.

My forehead is still burning hot.

The use of the law of cause and effect consumed a great deal of his mental energy. In addition, it also caused considerable damage to his physical body.

"This power is not something you should use now."

Xie Xuanyi spoke softly, gave Deng Baiyi a look, and said, "Baiyi... send him back to rest."

Deng Baiyi nodded and quickly pushed the wheelchair away.

The ambush incident ended without any danger.

In a moment, the treasure ship will dock.

Everyone in the delegation started to get busy again, organizing scriptures and packing their luggage.

Although Miaozhen had lifted the ban, the Buddha's light still enveloped the three of them, and outsiders could not hear their conversation.

"Thank you, benefactor, did you just hear the clue?"

Although they had only known each other for a short time, Miaozhen already knew Xie Xuanyi very well.

Before the guidance of the law of cause and effect appeared.

Xie Xuanyi looked a little gloomy.

But as soon as the word "light" came out... the confusion in his eyes was suddenly cleared.

"good."

Xie Xuanyi did not rush to answer the clue, but first raised a question: "Do you feel that... the 'law of cause and effect' awakened by Miyun is somewhat similar to the Sky Monitor's spying on destiny?"

"Now that you mention it, it makes sense." Junshan Zhenren nodded quickly. He said worriedly, "Don't touch this thing. None of the Sky Monitors live long...hiss, didn't Tanluan live long?"

If the holy monk Tanluan had successfully ascended to the realm of Yangshen, his life span would indeed not have been long.

There are too many causes and effects involved.

Life expectancy will be greatly reduced.

“Cause and effect and destiny are similar in nature.”

Miao Zhen nodded and said, "I heard from the Zen master that the holy monk Tanluan was a very wise and compassionate monk. He saw the general trend of the Chuli countries early on, so he chose to cross the river to the west and promote peace between the two dynasties with his own strength."

"In that case."

Xie Xuanyi said softly: "The 'light' that Miyun saw should refer to the 'Renshou Palace'."

"Renshou Palace?!"

Junshan's eyebrows were almost raised, and he rarely lost his composure for once.

This answer was beyond his expectations.

“Light…light…”

Miao Zhen pondered for a moment, still a little puzzled: "Thank you, benefactor, why do you say that?"

“You haven’t been to Renshou Palace.”

Xie Xuanyi chuckled: "I met the Holy Queen when I entered the Imperial City."

That side was brief but impressive.

Boundless light enveloped above.

If it weren't for the protection of Master's sword energy lotus, this light would have swallowed me up completely.

"Yuan Jimo is the most favored man in the Great Chu Imperial City..."

While thinking, Junshan Zhenren spoke, "I heard that he was just an unknown little figure in the Imperial City Department ten years ago. In just ten years, he became one of the most powerful figures in Da Chu..."

Yuan Jimo's remains disappeared, and the law of cause and effect pointed the clue to Renshou Palace...

Did the Holy Queen take action and take away all the debris?
Junshan paused, a little surprised: "Wait, Tanluan's law of cause and effect... can detect people of this level?"

The sky watcher's surveillance is limited.

Junshan and Yan Xin are good friends, and he is well aware of the flaws of the "Sky Monitor".

If the person you want to spy on is at a very high level of spiritual realm, then even if you control the [Hunyuan Instrument], there is a high probability that you will still fail.

Yan Xin sits in the library and can see almost everything that happens in the world.

But there were a few people he couldn't see clearly.

For example, Zhao Chunyang, Xiaoyaozi, and the Holy Queen. Now that Miyun's causal principles have only been awakened to a small part, can he see the scene of Renshou Palace?
"The law of cause and effect and the sky monitor's observation of destiny should be different."

Xie Xuanyi spoke slowly with a speculative tone: "The Sky Monitor needs to use the [Huanyuan Instrument] to send his divine thoughts to the destination of destiny, while the Law of Karma is to fish for 'guidance' in the long river of the Great Dao. If I'm not mistaken, the former will see more clearly, and the latter does not have high requirements for realm."

Destiny seemed to be shrouded by a curtain.

The Sky Monitor will personally unveil the curtain. The greater the curtain he can unveil and the more of the future he can see, the greater his ability.

The power of the law of cause and effect is more like communicating with the answer behind the "curtain".

If it were the Sky Monitors, this exploration... would most likely end in failure. Their divine thoughts could not reach the Renshou Palace at all, let alone see the slightest bit of the secrets of heaven.

"Is the law of cause and effect so against the will of heaven?"

Junshan looked shocked.

The Taoist sect has a thousand-year history and each of the seven main peaks hides many secrets, all of which are shrouded in large formations.

Senior brother Xiaoyaozi is in charge, and Chongkan is in charge of the formation.

Taoist monks all believe that their own mountain gates are impregnable.

But are these methods better than the Renshou Palace where the Holy Queen is in seclusion and has built a grand formation?
Not necessarily.

Miyun can now see the "light" through the Renshou Palace formation. If he is given some more time, will he be able to peek into the mysteries of Taoism through the Taoist formation?
"Junshan, although you and I were always at odds in our previous lives, we are allies in this life."

Miao Zhen was very cautious and warned: "Miyun is the hope for the revitalization of Buddhism... You promised me that we would overcome the difficulties together, and you must not have the intention to destroy it because of the law of cause and effect."

"Am I such a person?"

Junshan was stunned for a moment, and immediately understood what Miaozhen meant. He curled his lips and sneered, "You underestimate me too much. Let me put it this way, I will not hurt Miyun in the slightest, nor will I allow anyone else to hurt this little guy in the slightest!"

Miyun has already integrated Tanluan's Buddha bones.

It won't be long.

The ability of divine feet can also be completed through practice.

The Zen master is getting old. If nothing unexpected happens, this little guy who has comprehended "cause and effect" is destined to take over the Buddhist mantle and become the next leader of Fanyin Temple.

This is definitely not good news for the world's number one Taoist sect.

But for Junshan, it was just the opposite.

Although he values the reputation of Taoism, he cares more about the "life and death" of his eldest senior brother Xiaoyaozi. In these years, Chongkan has been in charge, and Xiaoyaozi has always been sitting in the stone gate... After reincarnation, Junshan has been thinking about the news of his eldest senior brother, but he has never received any response.

When he went to the imperial city this time, he sent a message to Yan Xin early, wanting to find out the news about his senior brother.

It’s a pity that Xiaoyaozi’s realm is too high and his strength is too strong.

Even if Yan Xin had the blessing of the [Huanyuanyi], he still could not touch the destiny of a person like Xiaoyaozi.

But Miyun's law of cause and effect perfectly solved this problem.

Able to touch Renshou Palace.

Maybe, you can touch the Tianyuan Mountain of Taoism.

"Oh?"

Miaozhen was a little surprised.

In this life, thanks to Xuan Yi, the two old enemies met in a different way and saw the unknown side of each other.

When the two met, they fought.

If it were today, they would want to fight from Qujiang to southern Xinjiang.

But now, the two have been living together peacefully for ten days.

"So... using the law of cause and effect should consume a lot of spiritual power, right?"

Junshan blinked and tried to run away: "I'll go see Miyun. I still have some supplements on me."

"and many more!"

As soon as these words came out, Miao Zhen reacted very quickly and held him down with a big hand: "You want him to use the law of cause and effect again, right?"

"..."

Junshan looked at Xie Xuanyi for help.

Xie Xuanyi sighed lightly and advised earnestly: "Using the law of cause and effect once consumes a lot of energy. Brother Junshan, Miyun is still young, so it's better to let him rest."

How could he not guess that Junshan Zhenren's biggest concern was "Xiaoyaozi".

The Taoist sect went into seclusion and the Sword Palace was closed.

Over the years, people all over the world have been speculating about the whereabouts of Xiaoyaozi and Zhao Chunyang.

Not long ago.

Zhao Chunyang took action once, and this action dispelled the doubts of countless people.

Now... this pressure has come to the Taoist sect.

The masters of the seven halls all hoped that the headmaster could show up once, even for just a moment, so that the prestige of Taoism would immediately reach a new level.

"Heh...your invincible senior brother is still in seclusion in Tianyuan Mountain? Do you want to use the law of cause and effect to check on Xiaoyaozi's situation?"

Miaozhen thought this scene was really interesting.

The three major sects in the world, Taoism, Fanyin Temple, and Dasui Sword Palace, seem to have a transcendent status, but in fact, they all have a hard time.

Xiaoyaozi, Zen master, Zhao Chunyang.

The leaders of the three religions are not in good condition... Perhaps the only one who is doing well now is Zhao Chunyang.

Only Miaozhen knows it clearly.

If Zhao Chunyang was in such good condition, why would Dasui Sword Palace close its doors? And why would Xie Xuanyi "die" in Beihai?
"My eldest senior brother is fine. He is the head of the world's number one sect. How could he be in trouble?"

Junshan Zhenren grumbled, but he didn't hold back for a moment, and soon changed his tone. The Taoist robed child didn't know which memory was touched, and his expression was sad and lost, mumbling: "But you are right... I miss him a little. After decades of separation, a whole decade has passed, he should miss me too, right?"

"..."

Miaozhen sighed.

He is also a person who is soft-hearted and does not respond to harsh words.

No matter how ruthless a Buddhist is, he must always have a kind heart like a bodhisattva.

"Don't be too sad, good things will come to you."

Miao Zhen thought for a moment, then slowly consoled him, "Xiaoyaozi is a once-in-a-millennium figure. Such a hero will never die easily... When Miyun recovers, I will ask him to use the law of cause and effect again to check the situation of Tianyuan Mountain for you. If it doesn't work this time, I will wait for him to practice for a while. With the magical power of 'Tanluan Buddha Bone', he will eventually be able to lift the clouds over Tianyuan Mountain."

"Is this true?"

Junshan raised his eyes, and the depths of his eyes still revealed sadness and gloom.

Miao Zhen smiled helplessly: "Of course I take it seriously... Monks don't tell lies."

These words had just landed.

"Okay!" The haze in the eyes of the Taoist robed child was swept away. He brushed his sleeves and regained his calm appearance. He said calmly: "Good bald donkey, you have no other advantages in these years, but you have some credibility. Now that you have spoken, I am relieved. From now on, I will protect Miyun well."

"???"

Miao Zhen was stunned for a moment, gritted her teeth, and wished she could take action immediately.

You were so sincere just now... Could it be that you were just acting?

Is this deliberately teasing yourself?
After calming down for a moment, Miao Zhen didn't know whether to laugh or cry. In fact, he didn't have much anger in his heart. Instead, he felt it was a bit absurd. Junshan was a Yang God after all. How could he be so "shameless" after reincarnation? Could it be that because of the fusion of his soul with the host in this life, he was really like a naughty child at this moment, speaking without restraint and without any worries?

However... the second half of this guy's words also gave me an explanation.

"Rotten wood cannot be carved."

The tall Buddhist sighed helplessly, left angrily, and went back to his room alone to meditate, holding the golden staff.

The young boy in Taoist robe rolled his eyes and raised his middle finger to the Buddhist who was leaving.
