I am cultivating an immortal in the game arena

Chapter 348: The Core of the Art of Cause and Effect

"Wow, wow..."

A figure gradually appeared on the water.

After a moment, with the sound of water coming out, Gu Xiangcheng climbed out of the water first, carrying Mr. Fu on his back.

I saw Mr. Fu stepping on Gu Xiangcheng's shoulders and walking down. Even though Mr. Fu's body was still soaked with thick moisture, he was wet all over. .

Looking back, I saw Zhang Jun crawling out with him, not even a drop of water on his body.

This made Mr. Fu even more curious about his water-bending skills, but when he thought about Zhang Jun's question, he frowned and bowed his head in silence.

"Wow..."

Li Hu emerged from the water and climbed ashore in twos and twos. His whole body looked like a drowned rat. He wiped the cold water from his face and cursed: "Grandma, you are so damn evil."

As he spoke, he looked back at the pool behind him.

I saw sparkling waves on the top of the pool, but below were several black Bodhisattva statues standing upside down. These Bodhisattvas only had half of their bodies, and the lower half was entirely in the stone.

When they first swam in, Li Hu was in a trance and had hallucinations. He kept swaying from side to side among the Guanyin, and was unable to swim up.

No matter how hard he exerted himself, it seemed as if invisible hands were holding him.

If Gu Xiangcheng hadn't given him a hand in the end, he would have drowned in the water on his own.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Jun again. This kid had nothing to do all the way, and he was not affected by Guanyin. This made Li Hu feel a little unhappy.

He didn't think that with Zhang Jun's young age, he could ignore illusions. He probably had some protective treasure given to him by Miaozhen who was old enough.

Li Hu secretly speculated that he didn't know that from beginning to end, Zhang Jun didn't feel the impact of this half of Guanyin on him.

Even knowing that these things seem to produce hallucinations, it is difficult for Zhang Jun to understand the temptation of these Guanyin sisters.

After all, in the competitive world, he has already entered the Dao realm, and his character has been polished in the arena, and his heart has already become as hard as iron.

This level of illusion has no effect on him at all.

"Half Guanyin is interesting."

Mr. Fu looked at the reflection in the water. Under the refraction of the reflection in the water, the Guanyin hanging upside down in the water looked down at them from another angle, as if he was in the water.

Li Hu also noticed this.

His face gradually became serious and he said, "This is a warning to us!"

Half of Guanyin, the upper half is Guanyin, what is the lower half?

Is it a demon? Is it a demon? Is it evil? Is it desire?

It's hard to say. If it were a full-body image, half-faced Guanyin and half-faced Mara, it would be easier to understand, but this is the upper and lower half, still in the form of Guanyin...

Of course, these are all secondary. Half of Guanyin is standing here, Guanyin is underwater, and they are under the half of Guanyin. This carries a very subtle warning.

Zhang Jun was not interested in this kind of thing. He looked around. He had read a lot of tomb robbing novels, but this was the first time he had entered an ancient tomb, and it was also a large tomb.

They should be located in the belly of Shouyang Mountain. The huge tomb cave can be seen as the traces of man-made digging.

There are still many stalactites on the roof of the cave that are shining with faint light, like stars.

The ground was covered with irregular stone slabs, each of which was worn as smooth as a mirror. The air was filled with the smell of moisture and mold, but there was also an indescribable aroma.

It doesn't smell fragrant, it even smells a bit bad, but after getting used to the smell, it feels faintly fragrant.

"This smell..."

Li Hu rubbed his nose. He was not used to the smell here. It didn't sound like corpse odor.

"It's Mo."

At this time, Gu Xiangcheng opened his mouth to explain. He wiped the green bricks under his feet with his water-stained hands a few times. When he opened his palm again, his hand was already black.

"I didn't know what it was at first, but when I went out and took a look, I realized it was ink. The blue bricks here actually look more like they are made of ink."

"ink?"

Looking at the blue bricks on the soles of his feet, Li Hu reached out and touched it a few times, and sure enough, his hands were stained with a layer of black.

"Hey, it's a bit like Hui Mo."

Mr. Fu pinched some ink and put it under the bridge of his nose and sniffed it for a while: "Okay, such good ink is rare. Being able to use so much ink to make green bricks is really extravagant to the extreme, no less than the Forbidden City." There are gold bricks in it.”

"Gold brick?"

When he heard this word, Gu Xiangcheng's eyes lit up. He pointed at the dark bricks under his feet and asked, "Are these valuable?"

Mr. Fu nodded and said: "Of course, one tael of gold and one tael of ink. These inks are made of high-quality smoke ink, which is the same as gold."

After speaking, he looked at Gu Xiangcheng jokingly: "If you dig this thing out, you can sell it for a good price if you meet a buyer who knows the goods. You don't have to worry about being found out."

Hearing this, Gu Xiangcheng's face looked a little annoyed for a moment. If he had known that these things could make paper money, he would have dug them up long ago.

Zhang Jun stood aside and did not speak when he heard this. It was obvious that Mr. Fu was deliberately teasing.

These ink bricks, even if they were taken out, would probably not be worth much money if they were to be sold.

It is not that easy to meet a buyer who knows the goods.

"Let's go, stop being stuck here, I can't stand the smell."

Li Hu urged from the side.

In his eyes, the so-called fragrance of ink smelled worse than the stinky tofu in his hometown, and he couldn't stand it.

Gu Xiangcheng reluctantly glanced at the green bricks under his feet, sighed helplessly, and led everyone forward.

There was a tomb passage not far ahead. As he walked, he said: "This tomb has more than one level. Going down from here is the main tomb on the first floor. It is relatively safe here, but if I go down any further, I don't dare to go down." ”

As they walked through the tomb passage, they saw complicated patterns carved on the walls on both sides of the tomb passage, including imaginative mythical beasts and scenes of feasting, singing and dancing. Each pattern revealed the exquisite skills and endless imagination of ancient craftsmen. force.

As they went deeper, the light gradually dimmed. Zhang Jun was okay, but Gu Xiangcheng and Li Hu seemed a little cautious every step they took. Their eyesight was not enough here.

Some of the bluestone slabs on the ground have become loose due to their age, and they make a slight sound when stepped on, adding a bit of a weird atmosphere.

After walking for about a few minutes, they finally arrived at the entrance of the main tomb. On both sides stood two stone evil spirits with human faces and animal bodies. Their eyes were as wide as copper bells, and their faces were ferocious, as if they were warning everyone not to do anything. Close here.

Zhang Jun noticed that the door had been pushed open by someone, presumably it was Gu Xiangcheng who did it.

When entering the tomb door, a cold wind hit the face, making people shiver.

The light in the tomb was actually much brighter, with wisps of faint light projected from the air holes on the top of the dome.

The tomb, which is about less than 100 square meters, is covered with an octagonal pavilion. There is an upright coffin inside, and three iron chains secure the coffin inside.

Zhang Jun looked around and saw the eight textures on the ground. He looked carefully with the Mysterious Flower Eyes, but he couldn't see anything different.

So he turned back to look at Mr. Fu, but Mr. Fu was silent all the way, as if he was thinking about something.

After everyone entered the tomb, Gu Xiangcheng pointed to an inconspicuous hole in the northwest corner of the tomb.

"There is a robbery hole there. From here you can go directly down to the second floor."

This robbery hole was not dug by him. It was already there when he came. Obviously, some capable people had visited here before he came.

Li Hu stepped forward and took a look at the burglar's cave. Although it had been a long time, the surroundings of the burglar's cave were still very smooth. It looked like it had been directly penetrated by a sharp weapon.

"It's a bit like the Northern school's horn-driving method, which uses a mountain knife."

Although Li Hu is only in his early fifties, he is well-informed. He has been around the world since he was a child, and he has also been exposed to these tomb robbers.

As the saying goes, the southern school is skillful and the northern school is good at strength. This method of directly penetrating the tomb is mostly the northern school's method. There was no Luoyang shovel at that time, and a special knife was used. Three or four knives were used together. It hits directly like a drill, very fast, which is also said to move mountains and unload ridges.

After speaking, Li Hu looked back at Mr. Fu. Seeing that he remained silent, he cleared his throat and said, "Mr. Fu, now you can tell me why you brought us to this place."

Everyone looked at Mr. Fu.

Except for Gu Xiangcheng, who was a fool, both Zhang Jun and Li Hu knew the origin of Mr. Fu.

Normally, the first thing he did after escaping from Longhu Mountain was to seek revenge from Taoist Miaozhen, but in the end he dragged them to this big tomb.

This left them a little confused.

Faced with Li Hu's inquiry, Mr. Fu did not answer, but lowered his head as if thinking about something.

After a while, a stream of blood spilled from under the bridge of Mr. Fu's nose. He raised his head and said angrily to Li Hu: "Why are you shouting? Don't bother me."

After saying that, he sat down next to the coffin and began to meditate.

This made both Li Hu and Zhang Jun a little confused. This guy really had some brain problems. He lost his temper no matter what, just like a child.

Seeing that Mr. Fu refused to leave, Zhang Jun and Li Hu had no choice but to do anything. As for Gu Xiangcheng, he stayed aside obediently. A pair of triangular eyes looked at Li Hu, Zhang Jun and Mr. Fu, wondering what they were doing. What's on your mind.

At this moment, suddenly, the entire tomb began to tremble.

Then a huge roar was heard in the distance.

The loud noise triggered countless mechanisms in the tomb passage.

Especially from the robbery cave behind them, there were faint screams.

A gloomy wind surged out from the thief's cave and blew on the three of them, making their flesh sting all over.

Li Hu took a look and saw that his skin was being covered with a layer of white stuff at a speed visible to the naked eye.

I hurriedly wiped it with my hands a few times, and then I felt relieved after confirming that it was not highly poisonous. However, the skin and flesh touched by these white powders felt a burning sensation.

"It's dynamite!!"

Zhang Jun looked outside the tomb passage. He was quite familiar with such a big movement. If he thought about it carefully, the company should have taken action. Li Hu obviously knew this, his face suddenly sank and he looked at Mr. Fu.

Seeing him still sitting cross-legged under the sarcophagus, my heart sank, and I walked forward silently with a cold face.

Just as he was approaching Mr. Fu, Mr. Fu, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground, suddenly raised his head and looked at Li Hu.

This move startled Li Hu and he took a step back unconsciously.

However, Mr. Fu's next words left Li Hu stunned for a moment.

I heard Mr. Fu ask, "How many women have you had?"

Hearing this, Li Hu's face twitched a few times, and then he said in a cold voice: "Mr. Fu, now isn't it...hiss!! Ah!!!"

Before Li Hu finished speaking, he suddenly fell to his knees on the ground, covering his palms with bulging veins all over his body.

I saw the curse lines in my palms twisting like little snakes as if they were alive.

"What am I asking you?? How many women have you had?"

Mr. Fu's expression was cold, and he stared directly at Li Hu.

"Three, three!!"

Li Hu twitched in pain and quickly answered.

But what Mr. Fu said next made Li Hu even more painful.

"Nonsense, there are obviously five of them, who are they!!"

Facing Mr. Fu's questioning, Li Hu covered his hands with his whole body, his face turned blue in pain, and he gritted his teeth to hold on.

But he couldn't hold on for too long, and Li Hu couldn't stand it anymore. He saw that the curse lines on his palms seemed to spread out at this moment, and penetrated into the meridians of Li Hu's body. Now he was recognized by the world as one of the top five in the world. Finally I couldn't hold it any longer.

"My wife, the eldest wife, the second wife, the third wife, Li Qiufang, Wang Yan."

After saying that, Li Hu fell to the ground, and the bright red lines under his skin wormed their way back to the palm of his hand like small snakes, reuniting into the shape of a talisman.

Zhang Jun and Gu Xiangcheng looked at Li Hu's collapsed appearance and couldn't help but be confused.

But both of them were curious about who Li Qiufang and Wang Yan Li Hu was talking about.

These two women have allowed Li Hu to hold on until now, which shows the special nature of these two women.

Either his identity is unusual, or his relationship with Li Hu is unusual.

Now that I know the name, I can go back and look it up.

After hearing the answer, Mr. Fu showed a look of satisfaction on his face, and immediately asked a few more innocuous questions. This time Li Hu did not dare to hide anything anymore and said everything he could.

I almost want to tell you what color underwear I am wearing today.

After Li Hu finished answering all these questions, Mr. Fu nodded with satisfaction and suddenly reached out to grab Li Hu.

The thin palm seemed to affect the energy around him, and Zhang Jun only felt the Xuanhua pupils on his eyebrows beating slightly.

Then he saw Li Hu's luck suddenly rioted, and his destiny star disappeared.

Just when Zhang Jun was surprised by this, Mr. Fu suddenly showed joy: "Hahaha, I understand, I understand!!"

Mr. Fu suddenly stood up from the ground and looked at Zhang Jun with excitement: "My star-picking technique can pick off the life star of the god even if the opponent is a god. Do you want to learn it now?"

Zhang Jun was dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Mr. Fu was either silent or in a daze along the way. He was in a bad mood and even lost his temper like a child. He was still struggling emotionally with the Star Reaching Technique? ?

Is this guy stupid or slow to react? ?

It's like a top-level graphics card equipped with a rubbish motherboard. It has some strength, but it can't stand out overall.

But what surprised him even more was, could this guy really guarantee that his star-catching skills were so incredible? ?

Immediately he said in a deep voice: "Sir, don't be joking. A single thought can move all directions. If the inner image does not come out, the righteousness will not move. The inner image will go out, reflecting the eight consciousnesses, stirring up the four images and the twenty-eight stars in the sky to bless my body... "

What Zhang Jun said was his own realization after entering the Tao realm. Even if he has no cultivation, he still contains the extremely high principles of the Tao.

Even Mr. Fu was fascinated after hearing it.

As for Li Hu, although he vaguely felt something in Zhang Jun's words, it was too vague, as if a wisp of green smoke was passing by. He saw it, but didn't see it, touched it but didn't touch it. After listening for a while, he just I feel like I have a splitting headache, and my heart is stuffy and nauseated, as if Zhang Jun is reciting a tightening curse. The more I listen to it, the more uncomfortable I feel.

In contrast, Gu Xiangcheng on the side was completely unaffected and even a little sleepy.

As soon as Zhang Jun finished telling these truths, Mr. Fu's eyes changed when he looked at Zhang Jun, and he grinned: "Okay, okay, you are even more powerful than Zhang Fuzheng."

"Who is Zhang Fuzheng?"

Zhang Jun didn't know who Mr. Fu was talking about.

"It's the bull's nose that pushed your master to go to Longhu Mountain."

"Oh!"

Zhang Jun nodded, showing no interest in this Longhu Mountain Celestial Master.

On the contrary, he wanted to see if Mr. Fu could really tell the truth after he had learned all about it.

Don't think about giving yourself a random spell and dismissing it. If you can't tell the truth behind it, you are setting yourself up.

If you say it casually, it will be even less likely to fool yourself.

Although my understanding of Tao is not profound, I have entered the Tao realm and have my own set of methods of identification.

Facing Zhang Jun's questioning, Mr. Fu not only didn't get angry, but the more he looked at him, the more he liked him. He smiled and said to Zhang Jun: "It's useless for you to tell me this. The way of surgery is not the other way. The way is based on names and forms, and the law is based on foundation. Techniques are used to determine the level. If you don't advance in the way, you can't seek it. If you don't master the technique, you can still practice it. The mastery of the technique has its own way. It is nothing more than taking the heart of the sky as your own heart and seizing all living beings as your own life. The method still needs help, and the technique only needs help. Ask for a matchmaker..."

Mr. Fu's words were no less powerful than what Zhang Jun had just said. They still made Li Hu's face turn pale, his ears neighed, and his mouth went dry.

As for Gu Xiangcheng, he was completely confused by what he heard. He couldn't open his eyelids. He just felt like there were two villains fighting in his mind. You punched and I punched. They were fighting fiercely. As for who won and who lost, He didn't know, but if he continued to fight like this, he felt like his brain was going to turn into mush.

Zhang Jun fell into silence for a moment after hearing this.

Mr. Fu's words shocked him even more.

This was not to explain to him the secrets of his technique, but to tell him straightforwardly what the core of the technique was.

It's cause and effect.

How to rely on cause and effect, how to use cause and effect, the ultimate technique, it is to coerce the cause and effect of the world, cause and effect cycle in one thought, killing people invisible.

To use an analogy that may not be appropriate, you came back last night and your neighbor complained that your dog was too annoying, so you had to take the dog to the balcony the next day. With such a small move, under the cycle of cause and effect, the dog was on the third step. The next morning, when my neighbor went out to exercise, he pulled the flowerpot on the window sill and sent the neighbor away.

The relationship is so simple, cause and effect is just a fulcrum, and the art teaches you how to use these fulcrums to leverage greater cause and effect.

The ultimate skill is that thousands of causes and effects can be attributed to oneself, and oneself is a part of the cause and effect.

Of course, this is exactly the case. The drawbacks of the technique are equally terrifying. Just as killing a neighbor's dog will implicate the dog owner and make the dog owner have to pay a sky-high price for compensation. The angry dog ​​owner may just kill the dog. .

According to Mr. Fu's theory, his technique will not be affected by the opponent's cultivation. As long as Zhang Jun can achieve enough cause and effect, it will be enough to move the opponent's destiny.

After listening to Mr. Fu's explanation, Zhang Jun really couldn't find a flaw in his theory.

"So... you have been sorting out your theories and adjusting your techniques along the way, just to change my water control technique?"

The more Zhang Jun thought about it, the more he felt that Mr. Fu's brain was indeed insufficient, but Mr. Fu grinned and said, "Who makes me like it?"

"So, did you ask him those questions just because you wanted to strengthen cause and effect?"

"No, I'm just curious, so I asked."

Li Hu on the side almost bit off his tongue, veins were jumping on his forehead in anger, Zhang Jun could even feel the strong murderous intention in Li Hu.

It's just that this murderous intention is not only aimed at Mr. Fu, but also seems to be intentional or unintentional. He and Gu Xiangcheng also seem to be among the targets.

It seemed that he and Gu Xiangcheng heard something they shouldn't have heard.

"Rumble, rumble..."

At this time, the entire tomb trembled again, and a series of explosions continued to be heard in the distance. The sound was not as loud as before, but the distance seemed much closer.

At this time, Gu Xiangcheng also woke up and said quickly: "No, they must have passed the second tomb gate and blew up the stone gate that sealed the tomb."

He knew that to enter the tomb from the front, one had to pass through three tomb gates. They were all lucky at the time. The first stone gate was dug up, but the second stone gate was robbed by a group of tomb robbers. The thief got it open. As for the third stone door, Gu Xiangcheng risked his life and squeezed in through a crack.

Now they have blasted the second stone gate and will soon reach the third one. As for the mechanisms in front, Gu Xiangcheng cannot guarantee that they can stop them.

"Huh? Are you chasing me so fast??"

Mr. Fu was a little surprised.

But it made Li Hu and Gu Xiangcheng curse in their hearts, "I told you to leave earlier but you didn't leave. Who made you stay here in a daze?"

"Let's go, let's go. It won't be fun if the old Taoist priest chases us."

Mr. Fu quickly stood up, looked at Gu Xiangcheng and said, "Lead the way?"

Gu Xiangcheng glanced at the robbery hole leading to the second floor and couldn't help but swallow. He tried to go to the second floor, but it was so weird inside that he almost died in it.

But if he is caught, he will be responsible for all the crimes he committed.

Thinking of this, Gu Xiangcheng gritted his teeth and rushed straight into the tomb passage in front of him.

Next came Li Hu, Zhang Jun, and finally Mr. Fu. He stood in front of the tomb passage and wiped his nose. He felt a strange sensation flowing from the bridge of his nose. He raised his hand and saw another bright red nosebleed. He couldn't help but glance at it. He glanced at his mouth and said, "Oh, we don't have much time..."

　Oh my god, I was thinking about taking a nap in the middle of coding, but when I opened my eyes it was two o'clock. I felt very sleepy recently. I checked and it seemed that I had not taken medicine recently and was gluttonous, which caused my blood sugar to spike. Hey, Sure enough, this medicine cannot be stopped.
