Chapter 391 Heaven’s Way Is Constant
Zhang Ye spent a month in the underworld to arrange the six reincarnations. Although he did not return to the world of the living during this period, he predicted that the immortals in the three realms would have a hard time these days, especially those who committed crimes.
Of course, there were some things that Zhang Ye did not expect.
For example, after the six reincarnations were successfully arranged, they became a divine weapon with the function of causal determination. This doubled the power of the six reincarnations, enough to cover the great power of the immortal emperor in cause and effect, and even fed back to the underworld, allowing the level of the underworld to rise by one level, on par with the heaven before the disaster.
This means that Ning Chuxue and other Shuras and Rakshas can impact higher levels of realms without being restricted by heaven and earth.
"I should go back, will you come with me?" The six reincarnations are already operating normally, and with the Ten Courts of Hell and the Eighteen Hells assisting the six reincarnations to deal with the dead souls, Ning Chuxue can be free of trouble, so Zhang Ye asked this question.
Ning Chuxue saw that the Six Paths of Reincarnation was in charge of the order of the three realms, based on cause and effect, and not operated by anyone's will. It was more competent than her, the Hades Emperor, so she naturally felt relieved and nodded gently: "Yes."
Zhang Ye then took Ning Chuxue's hand, broke the void, and returned to the Yang world.
The capital of the Eternal Immortal Kingdom was established in the Wushuang World. If Zhang Ye wanted to return to the Wushuang World, he had to pass through many ordinary worlds.
Zhang Ye thought, since it was on the way, he might as well see the effect of the Six Paths of Reincarnation with his own eyes. This is the basic quality of a responsible forger.
So Zhang Ye jumped out of the void and stopped above a continent. He didn't need to see it in person. He just needed to spread his divine thoughts to cover this mortal world.
Zhang Ye felt it slightly and nodded with satisfaction.
This world, because it is at the bottom of the mortal world, has passed hundreds of years since the operation of the Six Paths of Reincarnation. People have realized the existence of cause and effect, and there is no invasion of the Black Demon God. The whole world is like a paradise.
For example, the emperor's conscription and war do not interfere with the season of agricultural production, and there is no food to eat, let alone unjust wars; fishermen do not use fine nets or poison to catch fish, and there are inexhaustible fish and shrimp in the river; woodcutters go into the mountains to cut trees according to the season, and there is endless wood...
In general, this world emphasizes trust and harmony, the elderly have a place to live, the strong have a place to work, and the young have a place to grow. People are not greedy for money and are willing to do their best for public affairs. Therefore, evil things rarely happen, and theft, rebellion, and harming people are no longer on the rise. Doors are not locked at night, and no one picks up lost items on the road.
Seeing these scenes, Zhang Ye felt a sense of accomplishment. After all, such harmonious scenes are not unrelated to his establishment of the Six Paths of Reincarnation.
Suddenly, Zhang Ye seemed to have an epiphany. Using the Six Paths of Reincarnation to maintain the order of the Three Realms, isn't this a creation artifact to some extent?
But then, Zhang Ye shook his head again. The Six Paths of Reincarnation only achieved the guidance and application of the laws of the world, which is still a lot different from the essence of the world. The creation artifact should be the law of creation!
Zhang Ye realized this, his face turned pale for no reason, cold sweat flowed down his forehead, and Ning Chuxue, who was standing beside him, was startled.
Zhang Ye smiled and said that it was not a big deal. The main thing was that realizing these truths was too exhausting for the mind, even the Immortal Emperor could not bear it.
For this reason, Zhang Ye found a place, meditated for a while, and then said: "Let's go."
Zhang Ye had almost recovered and was ready to leave this world, but suddenly, he turned his head and looked in one direction.
Zhang Ye was deep in the mountains, uninhabited, so it was impossible for him to look at things nearby. The Immortal Emperor could sense billions of miles away, so he must have noticed something.
Zhang Ye held Ning Chuxue's little hand: "Let's go and see."
The two disappeared from the deep mountains.
...
Thousands of miles away, there was a towering city. In the center of the city, there was not a government office, but a temple built entirely of white marble.
A monk in white robes, with a solemn appearance, stood on a high platform and preached. The believers below the platform knelt on the ground, sometimes in a trance, sometimes crying bitterly, in different states.
I only heard the monk say: "Donors, be careful, today's results are all caused by past causes. Unfilial children are the debtors of the previous life; enemies may come to your doorstep because of the sins committed in the previous life..."
"Therefore, when will the cycle of revenge end? Letting go of attachments is to jump out of cause and effect. Buddha also said that if you put down your butcher knife, you will become a Buddha immediately. This is the truth..."
The believers in the audience put their hands together and worshiped: "The holy monk's teachings are right."
The white-robed holy monk smiled slightly: "All donors are people with wisdom, and they will definitely become Buddhas!"
At this moment, suddenly a voice was out of tune with the praise around him: "Monk, according to what you said, killing and arson are all retribution for the cause and effect of the previous life, which is reasonable?"
The believers present frowned and looked at the person who spoke with dissatisfaction, angry in their hearts. Who on earth dared to contradict the holy monk without wisdom?
Following the sound, I saw a man and a woman standing hand in hand. The man was as strong as a god, and the woman was as holy and beautiful as a fairy. Although they were standing under the lecture platform, they seemed much taller than the monk on the lecture platform.
The man and woman who suddenly appeared were Zhang Ye and Ning Chuxue. Zhang Ye came here just for this monk.
Of course, it doesn't mean that this monk is an unforgivable evil man, and Zhang Ye came here to enforce justice. In fact, this monk is a monk with profound Buddhist knowledge. It's just that because of some of his ideas, he taught people to accept what is given to them, misinterpreted the cause and effect, and caused greater harm.
For example, a bad person insulted a farmer's daughter. The eminent monk came out to administer justice according to Buddhist theory, saying that the debt owed by the farmer's daughter in the previous life would be paid by others in this life. Therefore, the farmer did not report it to the official, but instead blamed his daughter for the sins in the previous life. After the girl committed suicide by hanging from the beam, the monk stood up and said that this was cause and effect, and no one else was to blame.
The people in this city advocate Buddhism and are friendly on the surface, but this is a morbid phenomenon. Zhang Ye felt that since he encountered it, he couldn't just sit back and ignore it, so he rushed over.
At this time, the monk in white clothes heard Zhang Ye's inquiry. He was calm enough and did not curse. Baoxiang solemnly said: "All conditioned dharmas are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning. They should be viewed as such..."
"Murder and arson are just symptoms, and there must be internal reasons. Why not check yourself to see if your moral character has been compromised? To put it bluntly, even if it is a villain who commits the crime, there is no need to pay attention to it. There will be retribution naturally. Even if there is no retribution in this life, there will be retribution. There will be retribution in the next life. If you intervene forcefully, the consequences will be inflicted on you, and the gain will outweigh the loss. Does the donor think so?"
The monk's theory attracted the followers to agree: "What the holy monk said is true. All living beings are attached to the image, so if you don't realize it, let go of everything. Only then can you be liberated!"
When Zhang Ye heard this, he was very angry. He originally thought that the monk had just gone astray in his understanding of Buddhism and just wanted to wake him up. He never thought that the monk was already terminally ill.
Although Zhang Ye was born as a wild child, he is now an immortal emperor. He has an extraordinary understanding of the principles of heaven and earth. The period of improving the six paths of reincarnation also prompted him to study Buddhism.
Zhang Ye believes that whether a person is enlightened or cultivates Buddhism or other methods, there are three thousand avenues with different paths leading to the same goal. At the end of the day, what he cultivates is himself.
If a person's humanity is eliminated, what kind of cultivation is this?
In addition, Zhang Ye was also a little strange. Logically speaking, this monk deceived the public with his evil words and should have been punished by the Six Paths of Reincarnation. But it seemed that this monk was living a very prosperous life.
Zhang Ye looked at it carefully, remembered something, and cast a spell. There was a golden light in his eyes, and he was relieved. This method is derived from the Six Paths of Reincarnation and can check a person's karma.
When he looked at it, he could see that the monk had the rays of light on his shoulders and the sun and moon on his head. He was a man of great good deeds.
As for where this monk's good deeds came from, Zhang Ye also noticed that it was because this monk was helpful to the world in the early days and saved thousands of people during a great epidemic, so his merits are immeasurable.
But this monk has a black aura of bad karma around him, which is corroding those rays of light. When the rays of good karma are completely wiped out, that is when he will be in disaster.
Zhang Ye thought that the monk just went astray later, and it would be inappropriate to kill him. Moreover, even if he was killed, the people would still be unable to wake up. Therefore, Zhang Ye patiently said again: "Monk, what do you mean, today?" Is it fate that I kill you?"
Zhang Ye had a black bone knife in his hand to see if he could scare the monk.
But it has to be said that some people have deep-rooted beliefs. Even when the monk saw Zhang Ye holding a knife and trying to kill someone, he showed no fear. He even sang the Buddha's name: "If the donor kills me, it means that the monk deserves to die; if the donor cannot be killed, I mean, the monk shouldn’t die. Even if the donor scares me, he can’t shake the little monk’s faith in Buddhism.”
The monk looked like he was about to die. He immediately attracted believers to protect him and surrounded him. He said viciously to Zhang Ye: "Where did this madman come from? How dare you speak rudely to a holy monk?"
"This person must be an evil heretic. If we all recite the Scripture of Conquering Demons, we can suppress this beast!"
The believers felt that Zhang Ye's visitor was unkind and did not dare to confront him head-on, so they sat down cross-legged around the monk and recited scriptures.
At the request of the believers, the monk sighed and said: "Forget it, let the poor monk join the donors to see if they can turn away the hostility of this donor!" Then he also recited the scripture of subduing demons.
The sound of the scriptures echoed for a long time. Zhang Ye couldn't laugh or cry when he heard it. If he were a monk in the heaven, he would still find it interesting. This is the mortal world. These people don't have any magic power. Can they really recite a scripture to chant the immortal emperor himself? die?
But suddenly, thick dark clouds arose in the clear sky. Thunder was rolling in the dark clouds, and lightning flashed. The believers exclaimed with joy: "The heaven and earth have sensed our determination, so they sent the God of Thunder to help us to kill the demons!"
So it was like taking a shot of chicken blood, red-faced and reciting Buddhist scriptures, hoping that thunder would come and Zhang Ye would be killed.
As for the monk who was surrounded by everyone, he looked quite proud. He had understood the righteous way of heaven and earth. When he was in danger, he was helped by divine thunder. Could it be that he was the reincarnation of the Buddha?
If you can avoid death, of course it is better not to die. The monk looked at Zhang Ye, finished reciting the Demon-Conquering Sutra, and began to recite the Buddha's Wrath Sutra, which is said to be more powerful. If he really leads to heaven's punishment, he will kill the people in front of him. Young man, manifesting miracles, he is a living Buddha!
Zhang Ye's mind was filled with the mantra "Boom your mother, boom". He didn't quite understand it, so he simply ignored it and looked at the dark clouds in the sky.
The Six Paths of Reincarnation govern the cause and effect of heaven and earth, and even if people have no magic power, their petitions will receive a certain response. But Zhang Ye frowned slightly. It shouldn't be that all the people's petitions should be responded to. Is there something wrong with the Six Paths of Reincarnation? He doesn't know the difference between right and wrong, so he dares to hit himself with thunder?
Zhang Ye was so angry that he just stared at the thunder clouds in the sky, thinking that if you dare to hit me, I will immediately go to the underworld and kill you.
But the thunderclouds in the sky seemed to have no idea what Zhang Ye was thinking. A golden lightning bolt struck the ground. The monks and the believers around them were all ecstatic. Although they were reciting Buddhist mantras, they probably cursed him in their hearts.
The thunder was as fast as lightning. Before everyone’s thoughts ended, the thunder struck the white-robed monk in the middle of the crowd with a crack.
All the believers looked at the place with only a pile of black ash in the field with their eyes wide open. Damn, the holy monk was struck into ash by God? Did God split him?
A fanatical believer immediately looked up at the sky, pointed at Zhang Ye, and cursed: "Thief God, the demon is clearly here, where are you hitting him!"
There was another crack, and he cursed Zhang Ye as a believer of the demon, whose good deeds were exhausted and was blown into ashes by the divine thunder.
At this moment, the believers present understood that the divine thunder of God was not helping them, nor was it off target, but was protecting the young man!
Everyone stared at Zhang Ye with fearful eyes, as if they had seen a ghost, and dared not speak again.
Zhang Ye ignored these people, but was a little confused. This power of heavenly punishment was clearly used by the people to punish him, so why did it kill the monk and the believers instead? Although he was the creator of the six reincarnations, he would not interfere with its operation, and he did not know how the six reincarnations thought, so he was confused at the moment.
But then, Zhang Ye used the method to observe himself and check his karma. Suddenly, the clouds rushed to the sky, the sun and the moon waxed and waned, and the purple air came from the east. Not only Zhang Ye saw it, but all the believers present also saw it.
Zhang Ye understood that it was because his merits and karma were too strong. The holy monk could have lived a few more years, but he provoked himself, and the cause and effect were added, so he died early.
"This is a scene that only saints can have!" Some of the old men present were knowledgeable, or they just read too many novels and biographies. Seeing this scene of Zhang Ye, they immediately paid homage with great ceremony.
Seeing this, other believers also kowtowed to Zhang Ye and called him a saint. These mortals are superstitious, otherwise they would not believe what the monk said.
And Zhang Ye, this holy man, is obviously more capable than the monk, so of course he has to worship him.
As for whether the people want to avenge the monk? Who dares to think about it? Besides, didn’t the holy monk say that if he died, he deserved to die. Besides, this was not done by a young man, but a punishment from God to the holy monk.
The dark clouds melted away, the dust settled, and the heavenly punishment put the monk to death, which saved Zhang Ye a lot of trouble and returned a clear and bright day to this place.
Zhang Ye did not care about the people's worship, but the dark clouds that melted away inexplicably formed the word "handsome", what does this mean?
Some of the older generation said that this was God flattering the saint.
