Chapter 468 Shaohao and Xingtian
"I didn't expect someone to arrive before us."
"This fellow Taoist looks a little unfamiliar."
The two men who walked into the Taoist temple stared at Jiang Changsheng and said, their temperaments were completely different, the eyes of the man in black were full of provocation, and the eyes of the man in white were full of curiosity.
Jiang Changsheng bowed and said, "I am Changsheng, nice to meet you two fellow Taoists."
The man in white returned the greeting and said, "My name is Shaohao, nice to meet you Taoist Changsheng."
Shaohao?
Jiang Changsheng raised his eyebrows. Isn’t this the son of the ancient Chinese Emperor Huangdi?
Still the eldest son!
The man in black snorted, "My name is Xing Tian!"
Xingtian?
This name was even more well-known, and Jiang Changsheng developed a strong interest in them.
Could it be that the ancient Chinese myths are not fabricated, or are they legends left behind by myths?
Shaohao smiled and said, "Let's sit down and talk first. Xingtian and I also met on the road."
Jiang Changsheng nodded and sat on the cushion on the right. Shaohao sat in the middle, and Xingtian sat on the left.
He began to listen to the two people chatting quietly.
Shaohao and Xingtian came from two different tribes. Shaohao was the son of Huangdi and Xingtian was a general under Yandi. The two tribes were preparing to unite, so the two became friends. When they met along the way, they came together to listen to the teachings.
From listening to their conversation, it seems that the tribe is larger than the one Jiang Changsheng knew, even larger than the Yun Dynasty in Kunlun Realm, but it does not have the structure of imperial power.
Jiang Changsheng heard them mention many place names, such as the Earthly Immortal Realm, Dongsheng Shenzhou, Beidou Immortal Realm, Xitian Sea, etc. Many of these place names had never appeared in the myths and legends of the previous life.
"Where did you come from, Taoist Changsheng? It's not easy for you to come to listen to the teachings of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
Xing Tian suddenly looked at Jiang Changsheng, his tone was intriguing and his eyes were extremely aggressive.
Jiang Changsheng replied: "It's all just chance."
Although it was just a Taoist return to the spirit world, because it was too real, he still patiently communicated with other listeners. Xiao and the fairy could remember him, which meant that other people could too. If they could form a good relationship with him, perhaps they would have good fortune in the future.
"Hahaha, we are all gathered here because of fate. We are all people of the same path. One day, I would like to invite the two of you to come to my tribe and drink the Emperor Hong Immortal Wine together."
Shaohao smiled warmly and patted Jiang Changsheng on the shoulder while speaking.
Xing Tian curled his lips and said, "Young Patriarch, you are really generous. You can invite me with Dihong Immortal Wine when we first met. It seems that Huangdi is really indulgent to you."
"Doesn't Emperor Yan think highly of you? He even gave you the inheritance of Emperor Tian."
Shaohao shook his head and laughed, and the two began to bicker.
Jiang Changsheng found it interesting that these two people actually had a brotherly feeling. Although Xing Tian spoke harshly, he obviously put Shaohao first.
He suddenly remembered a legend that Xingtian and Huangdi competed for the throne of Heavenly Emperor. If that legend was true, wouldn't Shaohao, as the son of Huangdi, become an enemy of Xingtian?
He just thought about it but didn't point it out. After all, he didn't belong to this era. He didn't want to get involved in anything in this era. He just wanted to become stronger.
After a while.
A figure appeared out of nowhere in front of the three people and sat down on the cushion.
This is a skinny man wearing a Taoist robe. He looks to be about forty years old, with sunken eye sockets and deep eyes, giving people a gloomy feeling.
Is this the Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?
When Jiang Changsheng heard the name of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, he first thought of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, but the image of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is completely different from that of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
“Greetings to the Great Ksitigarbha!”
Shaohao and Xingtian saluted together. Jiang Changsheng reacted quickly and saluted along without missing a beat.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva glanced at the three people, his eyes fell on Jiang Changsheng, and said: "You practice the way of cause and effect, but you have so little cause and effect. Predestined person, why are you here?"
Shaohao and Xingtian both looked at Jiang Changsheng.
Facing the gaze of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, Jiang Changsheng said inexplicably : "I came here to become stronger. I just want to live forever."
After saying this, he felt a little regretful. He should have said it in a more beautiful way so that the master wouldn't think it was tacky.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva nodded and did not ask any further questions. He began to preach.
What he talked about was not the law of cause and effect, but the law of reincarnation!
This made Jiang Changsheng both surprised and somewhat expectant.
He could finally start practicing other great ways. Although he had not yet achieved great success in the way of cause and effect, comprehending other great ways might be more helpful.
Reincarnation is related to cause and effect, and the two are combined to enhance each other.
"The way of heaven leads to the underworld. The way of heaven is reincarnation. The body is destroyed, but the soul remains. The reincarnation is endless, and the underworld lasts forever..."
The voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva pulled Jiang Changsheng into a state of enlightenment.
He seemed to be in the underworld. The sky and earth were dark, and countless souls were wandering. Some were suffering, some were happy, and some were confused.
In this nine underworld, there is cause and effect everywhere, and within the cause and effect there is a deeper force maintaining it.
The power of reincarnation!
Perhaps because of his achievements in the law of cause and effect, Jiang Changsheng's comprehension of the law of reincarnation was easy, at least easier than comprehending the law of cause and effect.
The sermon continued, and Jiang Changsheng was immersed in it, forgetting everything else.
This sermon was longer and richer than he had expected.
During the process, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva also imparted a magical power.
Ksitigarbha's Reincarnation Palm!
This palm is powerful and can kill strong enemies. If it cannot be suppressed directly, it will also dispel the reincarnation rules of the opponent's soul, making it impossible for them to reincarnate forever, and even unable to retain the characteristics of the soul. In other words, once the physical body is destroyed, the soul will directly appear, and even a mortal spirit can directly attack the soul.
What a domineering magical power!
Also comes with special effects!
It is similar to the banishment magic taught by Xiaohe Fairy, but it is more powerful and can mainly carry out direct attacks.
Time passes quickly.
When Jiang Changsheng's consciousness slowly regained consciousness, the voice of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva disappeared at some point.
He opened his eyes and what he saw was the figure of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was staring at him with an indifferent look.
Jiang Changsheng subconsciously looked beside him. Shaohao and Xingtian had not woken up yet. Shaohao had a sad face, while Xingtian had an excited look on his face.
Jiang Changsheng couldn't tell whether he was better qualified or not as good as Shaohao and the other two.
"Your reincarnation sign is very long, and there are two very long signs."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva stared at Jiang Changsheng and said coldly.
Jiang Changsheng was confused and asked, "Senior, what do you mean by this?"
Two very long signs, do they refer to two lives?
This life is indeed long, but he died young in his previous life.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva replied, "Cause and effect and reincarnation are difficult to separate. Cause and effect lead to reincarnation, but reincarnation is more oppressive. You are only at the Taiyi realm, so you should not practice both. But you are very smart and chose two complementary paths."
"Thank you for your praise, Senior. Your Taoism is amazing and has given me a deep understanding."
Jiang Changsheng sighed sincerely that although Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva seemed unapproachable, the content of his sermons was very rich and covered a wide range of topics. Apart from the path of reincarnation, it would also be helpful to his future practice.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said: "You seem to be a little confused. Understand this cause and effect and ask questions."
Hearing this, Jiang Changsheng was delighted, and quickly thanked him, then told him about his confusion in cultivation.
"Your skills are not simple, they are pure, yet full of tolerance. I have never heard of this before. Your confusion is actually very simple, because you are too tolerant and have no direction."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva frowned, obviously shocked by the Taoism Natural Power. Although Jiang Changsheng only mentioned the characteristics of the power, it was enough to shock him.
Jiang Changsheng thought it made sense. The previous chapters of the Dao Fa Zi Ran Gong all had directions, guiding him where to practice, but there were none now. He practiced the Dao of Cause and Effect simply because the Dao of Cause and Effect was vast enough that he could keep practicing and it would help him become stronger.
The Great Ksitigarbha said, "A long time ago, the Tao had not yet appeared, let alone the immortal way. How do you think the one who created the immortal way and the Tao opened up his own realm?"
Jiang Changsheng fell into deep thought.
create?
"All unknown stages start from imagination. Whatever power you want to achieve, you should work hard to achieve it, rather than waiting to reach a certain realm and then gain the power of that realm. The realm is the practitioner's definition of power , and it does not exist independently."
The words of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva made Jiang Changsheng suddenly enlightened.
In his previous life, he was a game creator, and he had dabbled in countless fantasy content . It was his forte to create realms and imagine powers.
Having experienced so many things in this life, his horizons have long been broadened, and the power he can imagine is naturally greater and more incredible.
Jiang Changsheng can combine his own strength to imagine how strong the next realm will be, and then work towards this goal.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva then said: "Such a tolerant and profound technique may be compatible with the Great Dao, which is its goal."
Jiang Changsheng nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva shook his head and looked at Jiang Changsheng with a meaningful look.
"The reason I'm guiding you is because I see what you're carrying. It turns out that everything has an end, but the end is not the end, just like this cycle of reincarnation."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said this slowly, and Jiang Changsheng was shocked.
Could it be that Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw the destiny of the immortal path in him?
Xiao and the fairy seemed to see through this as well.
In the immortal world, there are so many powerful people who can glimpse the future of the immortal world, but cannot change it. Is there really an unchangeable fate and calamity in the dark?
"Don't worry, just go your own way."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said this calmly, but his expression was no longer so serious, but more kind.
Jiang Changsheng was moved by his change of expression, and he couldn't help asking, "I wonder if you know the leader of Kunlun, the ancestor of Xuanti, and the fairy Xiaohe?"
These three were the masters of the temples where he had listened to sermons before.
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva replied, "Of course I have heard of them, but they are too far away. Some are high in the sky, unaffected by cause and effect, and some have passed away over the years."
Someone fell?
Jiang Changsheng frowned, but this time he didn't ask who it was.
No matter who they are, from the perspective of their time, they are all dead.
At this moment, Shaohao and Xingtian next to them lost contact with the rules of reincarnation, which meant that they were about to wake up.
Jiang Changsheng just glanced at them, and when he turned his gaze back, Ksitigarbha was no longer there.
