Chapter 117: The Weaver Girl and the Heavenly Weaver Girl
“How do you calculate releasing animals?”

Song Wuji took out the Tiger Soul Sword, revealing his murderous intent.

"Hehe! Sir, it's useless for you to show your knife. This business is based on mutual consent. Cause and effect are inseparable. You robbed it today, which is a bad karma. In the future, the Rakshasa Ghost Market will not welcome living people to enter and will make things difficult for them. This is the evil result. Someone will have to take over."

"Is this releasing animals? Hmm~" The butcher looked Song Wuji up and down as if he were looking at a living creature.

"Her mother just got a new pair of glasses. Why don't you give her a pair too? We won't gain or lose anything!"

"How is it calculated?" Song Wuji frowned. "My eyes are worth the same as those snobbish eyes?"

"Hey, cause and effect are consistent, right? She gains and you lose, she sells and you buy. You think it's not worth it, and she thinks it's not worth it too, but who is the winner?"

The butcher said, "There's no point in being kind!"

Song Wuji was not willing to give up his eyes, so he chopped the knife on the chopping board and said, "Think about it again."

"Whatever! I'm really scared of you."

The butcher pointed at the "money shop" and said, "If you think it's not worth it, go there and exchange it for some money. You can take on other people's bad karma and exchange it for bad karma money, or you can exchange your good karma for good karma money. There was an official who took on the bad karma of an entire city and earned 100,000 strings of bad karma money. Hey, go quickly and come back soon, or I'll tear this guy apart and sell him off."

Song Wuji looked towards the money shop and saw people coming and going in a hurry. The more bad karma they had, the more they looked like Rakshasa demons, while those with good karma looked like gods, Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, with solemn and majestic appearances.

Song Wuji walked towards that place, but as soon as he got closer, the scene of people coming and going disappeared like an illusion, and he was the only one left.

An object resembling a scale appeared. "Sir, welcome to the Karma Bank. This bank can weigh good karma and bad karma, measure the various karmic retributions, and exchange them for karma money."

“Please follow the voice prompts!”

Song Wuji asked curiously, "Are you a weapon spirit?"

“Please follow the voice prompts!”

Song Wuji ignored him and just checked around the bank, trying to get inside to see if he could skip the exchange step and just get some money to spend.

The balance screamed, "Please follow the voice prompts!"

Song Wuji pushed the door but it wouldn't open, but he could see inside the counter.

So he used his magical powers: "Open!"

The next moment, Song Wuji opened a hole in the door and went in.

Leaving that balance still there and down: "Please follow the voice prompts!"

When Song Wuji entered the bank, he saw that there seemed to be thousands of silk threads inside, like a place like the Spider Cave, but these threads looked more like exposed blood vessels or the roots of a big tree.

Song Wuji walked forward along these blood vessel threads.

Soon, a faceless weaver was seen. These weavers were dressed like the Weaver Girl in the sky, but their lower bodies were like spiders, without faces. They looked like puppets, sorting out the blood vessel threads.

After sorting out whether it is good or evil, tie a coin at the end. The evil causes or good causes flowing out of the blood vessels will be infected and turned into karma money, that is, evil cause money or good cause money.

"Interesting! Someone broke into the Yinye Bank?"

Voices came from all directions. Song Wuji looked around, and suddenly he was upside down. The next moment, he was bound in a network called cause and effect.

A giant faceless weaver spider looked down at Song Wuji, then revealed an indifferent expression: "Descendant of the Kitchen God."

Song Wuji asked cautiously, "Who are you?"

"You can call me Tianluo." The Faceless Weaver said, "The Weaver Girl under the Queen Mother's seat."

"But now I am just a shopkeeper at Yinye Bank in this Rakshasa Ghost Market."

Song Wuji asked, "Why is there only karma for humans here, and not for demons? Don't demons have to bear the consequences of karma?"

Tianluo said, "I don't know. Every question has a price. Knowing is a powerful cause and effect. You broke into the bank, so I should have pulled the cause and effect out of you."

"But your fire will burn the web of cause and effect here. Your flames contain the power of hope and hatred."

"How can I know the answer to this? If there is a causal system, why does it only apply to humans? Cause and effect, karma, and merit are always mentioned together. Don't demons have to bear the consequences of their bad karma?"

"If you create bad karma, you don't necessarily have to bear bad karma. If you plant good seeds, you may not necessarily reap good results. The results of good and evil causes are random."

"As long as you plant the cause, you will definitely reap the fruit. It doesn't matter who plants the cause, and it doesn't matter who bears the fruit. What matters is the cause and effect itself."

"If everyone creates good karma, regardless of who receives it, then all they receive will be good results. Wouldn't that be the legendary paradise?"

"Yes, but the Saha world is a world of five turbidities and evils. Everyone in the world suffers from calamities and troubles. They worry about survival, worry about food and clothing, worry about illness, and worry about death."

"Under these calamities and troubles, everyone will be guided to sow evil seeds, and then someone will inevitably suffer the evil consequences. The Rakshasa Ghost Market is such a place of cause and effect."

"Do you want to remove your own karma?"

"Many people will clear their karma and go to the Land of No Worries. However, their karma cannot disappear out of thin air; it can only be transferred. The Land of No Worries is like a small Pure Land of Bliss."

Song Wuji thought of the shop he had just seen with the "Wuyou" flag hanging on it.

Song Wuji asked, "What will happen if the Magistrate of Taichang County is burdened with the evil karma of the entire city?"

Tianluo Zhinu said: "Then you need to pay the price for this problem."

The Weaver Girl pulled out two threads, one golden and one black, and wrapped them around Song Wuji's hands.

In an instant, Song Wuji saw the cause and effect of the two lines. The golden line was the good cause of passing on the fire and collecting firewood, allowing more people to survive and more people to have hope. He saw people walking in the wilderness to worship the kitchen god, building stoves, and bringing fire to other people who were still trapped in darkness.

But the next moment, these Kitchen Gods were walking and being killed. Some were killed by demons, some were killed by the people who believed in evil gods... or their stove fires burned out, turning them into ashes.

“These are the causes and effects.”

“Saving one person is your good karma, but the karma of the person being saved will be partially transferred to you.”

Song Wuji thought of Tian Chengbi who had taken the initiative to take on the karma of the people in the entire city, and even gave himself a talisman for purifying karma, so that if he had too much to bear, he could transfer it to him.

He immediately said, "This is what I should bear!"
