Chapter 273: Enchanted
Hearing Zhang Guo Lao's inquiry, Yu Shen bowed:
"The word "expression" is honest and eternal."
Zhang Guo Lao smiled and said:
"Jinheng, it's not bad. You have such cultivation at a young age. You are the best among my Taoist juniors. Are the Taoist talismans on you given by Master Zhang Tian?"
Hearing this, Yu Shen knew that Zhang Guo always saw that he had refined into his body, and the Taoist talisman and jade plaque presented by Master Zhang Tian, said:
"It is indeed gifted to Master Zhang."
Zhang Guo Lao smiled and said:
"Very good. Master Zhang Tian has an outstanding vision and is always caring a treasure that can travel through the world. After entering the world, according to Buddhist teachings, he will not receive merits and will not be contaminated by karma. He also needs to uphold himself in order to obtain the great way."
When Yu Shen heard what Mr. Zhang said, he was a little surprised, especially the following passage, and whispered:
"Don't receive merits, and don't defile karma?"
Old Zhang Guo nodded slightly, took a sip of tea and said:
"If you are always carrying a strange treasure, you will have this ability. Unlike our incarnation, you still need to consider the merits and karma of the world. If you are not good, you will suffer disasters. If you are always careful, you will not have these concerns."
Yu Shen thought for a moment and asked:
"I heard that all those who practice practice have disasters. So, I..."
Zhang Guo Lao smiled and said:
"You still have the calamity of cultivation. No matter which world you go to, this is something that practitioners must experience. However, if you do not receive merit or be contaminated with karma, you will not enjoy the calamity of merit, increase your luck, help you practice, and other positive effects, nor will you be aggravated by karma, reduce your luck, karma and other negative effects."
After hearing this, Yu Shen understood and said:
"So, merit, cause and effect karma are like the weight added by heaven and earth on people. It is just a distinction between positive and negative. If you follow the way of heaven and earth, you will gain merit. If you violate the rules, you will add karma?"
"As Jinheng said, however, every time the world brings merit, the measurement standards of karma are different, and the degree of karma is also different, and it is necessary to explore. Karma is not completely negative. Some people practice with karma, which is just like borrowing merit."
"Thank you, Mr. Guo, for your advice."
After hearing what Mr. Zhang Guo said, Yu Shen also had an understanding of himself and was quite interested in the origin of his system. Mr. Zhang Guo and Master Zhang Tian both said that they were strange treasures. Yu Shen naturally wanted to know what kind of strange treasures had such power.
Yu Shen still trusts Zhang Guo Lao, one of the Eight Immortals. With the ability to avoid merit and not be contaminated with karma, Yu Shen often makes it much more convenient for him to act.
However, because he does not receive merit, no matter which world Yu Shen accepts the disaster of cultivation, he cannot get the power of merit. His power must be at the standard level, which can be considered as both pros and cons.
After absorbing this situation, Yu Shen remembered the previous communication between Zhang Guolao and Huikong and asked:
"Before, Mr. Guo and Huikong had talked about the general situation, but it involved a dispute over Buddhism and Taoism?"
When Mr. Zhang heard Yu Shen’s questioning, he smiled:
"I am careful and meticulous, and I will point out the key points in one sentence. It is the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, and I will fight for the great fortune of this world."
After hearing this, Yu Shen probably understood it in his heart and said:
"I am also a Taoist child. Guo Lao can tell me if I need it, and I will do my best."
Zhang Guo Lao smiled and said:
"Jinheng is determined and has outstanding cultivation. You can also take this opportunity to experience it."
Just as Yu Shen was about to continue discussing with Mr. Zhang Guo, a paper crane suddenly appeared in front of Mr. Zhang Guo. Mr. Zhang Guo took the paper crane with no means to take it away. The paper crane instantly dispersed itself and turned into a piece of paper with words written on it. It was filled with brilliance and no one could see the content on the paper.
Zhang Guo Lao glanced at the paper, his face changed slightly. He raised his hand and pointed it on the paper. The paper turned into a paper crane again and flew back. The space wall of the blessed land seemed to be unable to stop the paper crane from flying.
After the paper crane flew away, Zhang Guo Lao looked at Yu Shen and said:
"When Jinheng dealt with Li Shini, would he take Zhu Can's life?"
Yu Shen heard this and said:
"I did not take his life, but I used magic on him to make him suffer more and die again. It is my life is not long, but what's the matter?"
Hearing Yu Shen say this, Zhang Guo said:
"Zhu Can broke through Jinheng's magic, and at this time he entered the demonic path, and pulled his group of cold-reached thieves into the demonic path. He was about to slaughter Jingzhou, and fellow Taoist Li and fellow Taoist Zhongli had rushed over. Just now, it was a letter from fellow Taoist Zhongli and me."
Hearing this, Yu Shen was surprised:
"Fallen into the devil's way?"
Old Zhang Guo stood up and said:
"However, the demonic path in this world did not appear. Unexpectedly, the traces were revealed at this time, so we rushed to Jingzhou City immediately."
After saying that, Yu Shen also stood up. Zhang Guo Lao took Yu Shen's hand unceremoniously, and then left in the escape light.
The two of them flew all the way and took some time to get to Jingzhou. Yu Shen saw the demonic energy soaring into the sky near Jingzhou City in the distance, mixed with huge qi and blood power and evil energy. It was obvious that this was a military formation.
It was still a little distance from Jingzhou City, so Zhang Guo Lao lowered the escape light. In front of him were two monks in strange costumes, looking towards Jingzhou City.
Seeing Zhang Guo Lao descending to escape, the two of them came over. Yu Shen saw these two people, one lame with a crutch, carrying a big gourd on his back, the other was combed with a hair bun, holding a fan in his hand, exposing his chest and a belly, and pooping with a big belly.
Seeing these two people's appearance, Yu Shen naturally knew that these were the other two of the Eight Immortals, Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli, both of whom had achieved enlightenment early.
As for the other people of the Eight Immortals, they were even later, and many of them were not born yet. Lan Caihe, who was recently born, should have just been born and was still a baby.
Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli faced Zhang Guolao, and Zhang Guolao introduced:
"This one is Yu Shen and Yu Jinheng, and is the rising star of my Taoist sect. I have told you about the letters before that these two are Li Xuan and Zhongli Quan."
Yu Shen bowed:
"I've seen two immortals."
When the two heard what Yu Shen said, Tieguai Li Xiao said:
"No need to do this. As expected, if Zhu Can did not receive merit and karma as he said, he did a good job in this matter. Unfortunately, he was light and was taken advantage of by the demon."
Hearing this, Yu Shen hurriedly said:
"It's true that I'm light on it. If I solve it directly, this won't happen."
Han Zhongli looked at Yu Shen and said:
"It's okay, the whereabouts of the demons in this world have always been mysterious. This time I will take action, to see if I can find the traces of the demons. It's best to catch them all in one go. Confucian and Buddhist people over there have also arrived. When a few fellow Taoists arrive, they will go there."
