Tongtian Bamboo Repair

Chapter 417: Judging Cause and Effect

At this moment, Zhang Miao didn't have any strength at all, so it was a bit difficult to use the three abi swords.

But his memory has returned, and he naturally has an idea in his mind. He continued to pretend to be asleep, but his mind began to contact Magu.

In the void, Magu was sitting cross-legged. Suddenly, a voice sounded in her ears, but it was Zhang Miao's voice.

"Ma Gu, can you hear my voice?"

Magu was slightly startled by this voice. She immediately looked at Ksitigarbha Dharmakaya in the distance calmly, and replied in her heart: "I heard it, how did you contact me?"

"Sentient beings can contact the Buddha if they recite the Buddha's name in their hearts. This is the basic principle." Zhang Miao's voice continued.

Hearing this, Magu couldn't help but smile. All sentient beings can recite "Namo" and add the Buddha's name, so that the Buddha can hear it. Magu became a Buddha. Although the name of the Buddha is not revealed yet, it is okay to directly call her "Namo Magu Buddha".

Being able to contact Zhang Miao made Magu feel warm in her heart. She said directly: "You can just say you follow my way now and withdraw from this gamble. I expect that Ksitigarbha will be angry, but there is nothing he can do about it."

According to the bet, if Zhang Miao followed Magu's advice, Magu would win. After the victory, Ksitigarbha will also return Zhang Miao to Magu as agreed. Zhang Miao cannot be regarded as the corresponding Buddha of Ksitigarbha.

However, Zhang Miao said: "There is no need to do this. I have the only way to cut off the cause and effect with Ksitigarbha. So that he cannot use me to become a Buddha. You just listen to my arrangements..."

Zhang Miao asked Magu for help this time. Although according to Magu's words, he could indeed withdraw from this bet, he was afraid that Ksitigarbha would leave some backhand on him. This state is beyond his power, how could Zhang Miao know his thoughts?

The safest thing is to cut off the causal connection with Ksitigarbha and make him give up on Zhang Miao completely.

After Magu listened carefully to Zhang Miao's plan, she said calmly: "You will have to pay a huge price for this plan, so you have to think about it."

Zhang Miao smiled and said: "Don't worry, although the price is high, I will not die. Being able to completely cut off the cause and effect is the most important thing."

Magu thought for a moment, and she believed in Zhang Miao. She had always done so from the past to the present. She nodded and agreed to Zhang Miao's plan.
-
In the prison, Zhang Miao slowly opened his eyes.

But outside the prison, Qingqing and the others received an order. Magu issued an order to them and asked them to execute it. These goblins had nothing to say, so they immediately took action and began to do as Magu said.

In fact, what they have to do is very simple, just find a place to take root near Tianlao.

These are plants that have become spirits. They followed Magu's instructions, transformed into their true forms, and took root in various places near Tianlao. When they successfully took root, their auras connected with each other to form a formation.

The formation wrapped up the Tianlao, and a steady stream of spiritual energy surged towards Zhang Miao in the Tianlao.

Situ Ming, who was next to Zhang Miao, suddenly felt something in his heart. He felt a different aura happening around him. He immediately turned over and saw that Zhang Miao's whole aura had undergone earth-shaking changes.

He is absorbing spiritual energy at an extremely fast speed, and his strength is constantly improving!
'What happened again? Situ Ming was shocked. This incident was not their plan.

At this moment, Zhang Miao on the opposite side suddenly raised his hand and used it as a knife. He looked at Situ Ming, suddenly waved his hand and slashed towards him.

At this moment, Situ Ming suddenly felt something disconnected. He was stunned, and then his expression when he looked at Zhang Miao changed.

'who I am? where am I? What do I want to do? 'Situ Ming asked himself three philosophical questions. The moment the cause and effect between him and Zhang Miao was cut off, he immediately forgot all the things related to Zhang Miao. He just barely remembered that he had a mission, but he had no idea what the mission was exactly!
When Situ Ming's cause and effect was cut off. Ksitigarbha in the void suddenly opened his eyes. His pale golden eyes looked at Zhang Miao's world, seeing everything in his eyes.

"You have understood the three swords of Abi? And you have understood it well. Do you agree with my way?" Ksitigarbha suddenly asked Zhang Miao.

His tone was very indifferent, and he seemed to be very satisfied with Zhang Miao's choice. He said to Zhang Miao calmly: "Now that you have chosen my way, you will naturally follow my way and become my corresponding Buddha. Go to the other side and become a Buddha!"

After he finished speaking, he stretched out his index finger and pointed at Zhang Miao. This point is to turn Zhang Miao into a Buddha!

Zhang Miao has all his understanding of Buddhism and Taoism in his body, which is equivalent to Zhang Miao having the foundation to become a Buddha. What is lacking now is the realm of mana. The purpose of Ksitigarbha is to give Zhang Miao initiation and raise his strength to the Buddha state!

If his understanding of Buddhism and Taoism are in place and his strength is in place, then Zhang Miao will naturally become a Buddha immediately. Although Ksitigarbha cannot go to the other shore, his Buddha can go. This can be regarded as a kind of arrival.

But here at Zhang Miao, he suddenly felt an extremely powerful aura overtaking him. A golden finger pierced the sky and touched his forehead. At this moment, countless powers came from all directions and from all four limbs. Improve his realm infinitely from the inside out!

At this moment, Zhang Miao roared in his heart: "Hundred Flowers Formation, turn it around for me!"

Beside the Tianlao, dozens of plant goblins immediately emitted light and drew out Zhang Miao's power! These fairies are all made from flowers and plants. The name of this formation is the Hundred Flowers Formation. Hundreds of flowers can be bloomed and hundreds of flowers can be killed. When the flowers bloom, the power is transmitted to Zhang Miao's body. When the flowers wither, the power is extracted from Zhang Miao's body!

Countless Buddhist power was extracted from Zhang Miao's body, and Ksitigarbha in the void also felt this. He smiled softly and said: "Buddhism is vast, how much can a mere formation of yours accommodate?"

This is like a sink drain problem. Now Ksitigarbha drains water into Zhang Miao's pool, and Baihua Array drains Zhang Miao's pool. However, Ksitigarbha's strength is too strong, and the 'water' he provides is much more than the 'water' discharged by the Hundred Flowers Array!
Zhang Miao naturally understands this truth. At this time, he suddenly released six pure bamboos from his body, raised his hand high, and slashed at the six pure bamboos!

'Abi's three swords will reverse the karma! '

This knife did not cut off any cause and effect, but transferred all the cause and effect from Zhang Miao's body to the six pure bamboos!
Don't forget, Zizhu will also improve by absorbing 'experience' and feeding it back to Zhang Miao. If you have enough experience, the skills that feed back the past will become even more powerful! The same is true this time. The Abi Three Swords that Zizhu fed back have surpassed the original Abi Three Swords. Among them, the second blade, the Karma-cutting Sword, can not only cut off cause and effect, but also graft cause and effect!

When Zhang Miao grafted all his cause and effect onto the six pure bamboos, his whole person 'non-existed'. People without cause and effect 'do not exist' in the world.

At this moment, Zhang Miao's body was shrinking, and his life span was rapidly consuming. He quickly changed from a young man to an old man. Then the old man's body began to decay, and the man was about to die.

If things continue like this, Zhang Miao will really die. But at this time, the Jiu Ge in his body suddenly started to move. Jiuge, the magical weapon, finally comes into play at this time, it can keep Zhang Miao alive!
Jiuge wrapped Zhang Miao and kept him alive. Even though Zhang Miao has nothing to do with this world, he still exists in this world objectively. In Buddhist terms, he has 'disappeared'. But as far as Taoism is concerned, he still exists objectively in the world.

Buddhism and Taoism have different world views. Different worldviews are due to different methodologies for observing the world. Buddhism emphasizes cause and effect, but Taoism does not talk about this.

At this moment, Ksitigarbha was also in a trance, because the cause and effect between him and Zhang Miao had also been transferred to the six pure bamboos. The six pure bamboos will become his corresponding Buddha!
Ksitigarbha immediately disagreed! Although Buddhism emphasizes the equality of all living beings, anyone can become a Buddha. But in fact, only people can truly become Buddhas. A piece of bamboo can be a disciple of the Buddha sitting on it, but it can never be the Buddha.

Ksitigarbha's expression changed, and he suddenly swung his sword at the six pure bamboos, trying to cut off the six pure bamboos and his cause and effect.

But at this time, he was still a step slower. Ksitigarbha's karma-cutting knife cut off the six pure bamboos and his cause and effect, but when this cause and effect was cut off, a new cause and effect unexpectedly emerged!
The six pure bamboos suddenly turned into a man in purple. At the moment of turning into a human, the man in purple bowed his head and smiled at Ksitigarbha and said: "Thank you Ksitigarbha for helping me. If I become enlightened in the future, I will never forget the cause and destiny of today!" "

After the man in purple said this, Zhang Miao had already been taken away by Jiu Ge. Ksitigarbha looked at the man in purple coldly and asked in a low voice: "Who are you?"

The man in purple smiled and said: "I am no one, I am just a nameless purple bamboo between heaven and earth. Today, I received a sword from the Venerable, and I cut off the troubles of cause and effect, and transformed into a good body. I am deeply grateful to the Venerable for his kindness!"

At this moment, Ksitigarbha suddenly understood something. His expression changed slightly, and he was about to say something else. But at this time, Magu opened her mouth and said: "Venerable Ksitigarbha, all cause and effect are determined. Today, you lose. Since you have lost, why bother with it. The Buddha was born, and you were also born. Why bother clinging to the present moment?"

Magu's words were to persuade him to let it go, and Magu also made her attitude clear. She didn't want this matter to continue to be entangled!
This time, Ksitigarbha was at a disadvantage because he was tricked by Zhang Miao.

Ksitigarbha was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled and said: "Haste makes waste, this is not my chance. Congratulations to my colleagues for attaining Buddhahood!"

Magu accepted it gladly and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your kind words."

Ksitigarbha looked deeply at Magu, and with a wave of his hand, the small world where Zhang Miao existed disappeared like a bubble. He too disappeared into the void and returned to his hell.

This golden cicada escape plan used by Zhang Miao completely cut off the cause and effect between him and Zhang Miao. Once the cause and effect are broken, I don't know if there will be any relationship in the future...

In the void, Zizun bowed slightly to Magu. Magu looked at Zizun and asked, "What will happen to him?"

Zizun replied respectfully: "He has a great chance to protect him and will not die. But he will be forgotten by everyone related to him for a long time. His cause and effect will be cut off. This is very important to him." , which is also a good thing.”

Magu pondered for a moment, and then said to Zizun: "The cause and effect between him and me is over. I will also enter the Buddha realm, transcend from this realm, and reach the other shore. Maybe in the future, I can meet him on the other shore."

Zizun nodded and said, "I hope so."

Magu never thought that she could reach this far on the Buddhist path. Become a Buddha and enter the other shore. This other shore is the fairyland in Taoism.

After she entered the fairy world, she was really separated from heaven and human. She said nothing more and disappeared into the void.

Xuanhuang Daqianjie, Dongjiao Mansion, Zhang Mansion.

A feeling of loss appeared in Xiangmao's heart. She was carrying the kettle, and suddenly she felt as if a piece of her heart was missing. At this moment, a man in purple suddenly appeared next to her. When she saw this man, she immediately put down the kettle and said respectfully: "God, why are you here?"

Zizun looked at her and said with a smile: "You have been traveling for a long time, and it is time to return to the divine realm."

A thought flashed through Xiangmao's mind, and she immediately smiled and said: "That's right, I came out to find an opportunity for the Lord, and now the opportunity has arrived. It's time for me to go back."

She looked at everything in this mansion and said, "Honored God, please wait a moment. I'll prepare something. I'll follow you now."

Zizun nodded lightly, and then Xiangmao went to work. Zizun, on the other hand, walked to the water-viewing pavilion and quietly looked at the fish swimming in the water.

Not far away, a spinach suddenly grew crazily. The crazy growth of this spinach attracted Zizun's attention. The exquisite heart it grew suddenly broke through the seventh orifice and began to grow towards the eighth or even the ninth orifice.

In just the blink of an eye, the cabbage grew an exquisite heart with nine orifices, and then, the exquisite heart with nine orifices fell to the ground. Submerged into the ground and disappeared...

All this was watched by Zi Zun indifferently. Not long after, Xiangmao came in a hurry and said to Zizun: "God, I'm ready!"

Zizun nodded, waved his hand, and left with Xiangmao...
-
Three thousand miles east of Dongjiao Mansion, here is the East China Sea of ​​China. Suddenly, a person appeared from the beach. The man was submerged in the water and unconscious, while the waves carried the man and continued to drift eastward.

This man was rising and falling in the waves, and an exquisite heart with nine orifices began to beat in his chest. Under the constant beating of Linglong's heart, his body slowly came to life. The waves took him and continued to drift towards the depths of the East China Sea.

Deep in the East China Sea, there are scattered islands. As the waves drifted, the man drifted further and further away.

Finally, after more than ten days of drifting, the man appeared on the beach of Liuyan Island and was washed to the shore by the waves. A fisherman who came back from fishing discovered him. After looking at him carefully, the man murmured: "He looks pretty good and has a strong body. God knows that I can't afford a dowry, so he directly gave me a son-in-law." ah!"
