The Heavens: Cross the World

Chapter 369 The mystery of cause and effect, stepping into the underworld

Feng Ji asked around and also asked about the location of the City God's Temple.

However, he did not go to the City God's Temple immediately, but asked if there was a scholar named Ning Caichen in the city.

After some inquiries, Ning Caichen was not found.

"Ning Caichen seems to be from Jinhua, not Guobei County. In the original plot, he also traveled all the way to Guobei County to collect debts."

"It seems that Ning Caichen has not been here yet."

Feng Ji was thoughtful. Suddenly, he sensed something and looked outside the city.

"Is the little demon fox in trouble?"

The next second, Feng Ji's figure flickered and he teleported away.

When he reappeared, he was already two or three miles outside the city.

But at this moment, Xin Shisi Niang fell to the ground, with a long sword on her shoulder, and there was already blood in her snow-white neck.

Feng Ji's face darkened and he looked at the man holding the sword.

But he saw this man wearing armor and a black veil on his head, and his whole body was full of energy and blood.

Just listen to the man shouting: "It turns out that he is a monster. No wonder he is so powerful. It's a pity that you are not lucky enough to meet me!"

"Fairy, die!"

He was about to cut down his sword immediately, when suddenly a sound of breaking through the air came quickly.

Xia Hou's expression changed, he suddenly drew his sword back, and slashed behind him with his backhand sword.

clang!
There was a crisp sound, and Xiahou's deep energy and blood could not stop this huge force. In an instant, the whole person rose into the air.

He quickly stepped on the ground with both feet, trying to stabilize his body.

But that huge force chased him and kept sliding backwards. The stones on the ground exploded, and two deep pits were plowed into the ground!
Xiahou's face was ferocious. He took a deep breath and let his energy sink into his dantian. He unleashed a thousand kilograms of force with his feet and stamped the ground violently.

His sudden retreat was stopped immediately.

He took a deep breath, raised his head solemnly, and first glanced at his sword.

But there was nothing on the sword, but a fingerprint was on the sword!

He went a few minutes deeper and almost pierced his own sword!
This made his face change drastically, and his eyes showed disbelief.

This sword of his is no ordinary sword.

It was a top-quality sword that he spent his family wealth and hired top forging craftsmen from Daqian.

Even if he wanted to destroy this sharp sword, it would be difficult for him to do so.

But today, someone almost pointed him out?

how can that be!

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the murderer who sneaked up on him.

But he saw a young man in black robe standing not far away.

This man has a strong build and is even taller than him!

With just one glance, he determined that this person must have extremely powerful energy and blood!

But the strange thing is that I can't feel the other person's energy and blood at all.

"Master!"

He instantly realized that only a true master could hide his energy and blood without revealing it.

This is the top realm of martial arts, the realm of no leaks!
At this moment, Xia Hou's eyes shone with excitement.

That look was like seeing a rare treasure.

Feng Ji ignored him, but reached out to help Xin Shisi Niang up and asked, "Are you okay?"

Xin Shiniang was still frightened. When she saw Feng Ji appear, her eyes turned red with grievance and she said: "Master, this man is a lunatic. He wanted to fight with me if we disagreed. I used magic to avoid him, but he found out the truth." , he will shout and kill without making any sense."

Feng Ji raised his eyebrows: "A martial arts contest?"

He turned to look at the man and looked him up and down.

This man is full of energy and blood, and is indeed a master of martial arts.

The martial arts in this world seemed different from the martial arts world in Feng Ji's impression.

People here have no such thing as internal strength.

Instead, he completely cultivated Qi and Blood Martial Arts.

This person's Qi and blood are richer than any human being that Feng Ji knows.

At this time, in terms of vitality and blood, the opponent has already caught up with himself when he practiced "The Thirteen Taibao".

At that time, I was full of energy and blood, and had already swept the world of martial arts.

From this, it can be seen that this person's Qi and Blood martial arts seems to have reached an extremely powerful level.

At this time, Xia Hou took the initiative to speak and shouted: "Are you a human or a monster?"

Although he possesses unique skills, he has never learned Taoism and has no discernment, so naturally he cannot distinguish demons and ghosts.

But Feng Ji is full of energy and blood, and there is no doubt that he is either a top martial arts master or a demon.

Feng Ji asked: "What's your name?"

"I'm asking you!" Xia Hou shouted sharply, the green steel sword in his hand shook slightly, and with a click, a sword energy slashed out along the long sword.

call!
The sword energy roared towards him, but Feng Ji shook his head slightly and acted casually.

Oh!

A sword energy burst out from the fingertips, and with a pop, the sword energy that flew towards him was cut off immediately.

Feng Ji's sword energy did not dissipate after cutting off Xiahou's sword energy. Instead, he quickly stabbed Xiahou himself.

Xia Hou's expression changed, he jumped up suddenly, and immediately dodged the sword energy.

But he saw the sword energy popping, shooting directly through the position where it had just been, and a big stone exploded with a bang.

Xia Hou looked back at the stone, his expression changed slightly, and then he looked at Feng Ji and couldn't help but ask, "What kind of magic is this?"

Feng Ji said calmly: "Now I'm asking you! Who are you? Why did you touch my maid?"

Xia Hou endured his temper and said in a deep voice: "A certain family's surname is Xia, and the name only has the character Hou, so people in the world call it 'Jian Hou'. This maid of yours is a monster, do you know?"

Feng Ji immediately looked at this person in surprise: "Your name is Xia Hou?"

The plot he had seen before suddenly came to his mind, and he thought to himself, no wonder this person's martial arts is not weak.

He remembered that in the original plot, this person was indeed a martial arts idiot who wanted to win the title of the best swordsman in the world. He had been looking for Yan Chixia's whereabouts for many years and vowed to defeat Yan Chixia and become the best martial arts master in the world.

I didn't expect that I would meet each other here.

What's even more coincidental is that he actually wants to compete with the little demon fox.

Feng Ji looked Xia Hou up and down, shook his head slightly, and said: "My maid, of course I know, is it important whether she is a human or a demon? She is mine now, let alone she has never killed anyone, she has killed someone. , it’s not something you can touch, if you want to punish me, you can only be punished by me, the master!”

Xia Hou was furious and shouted: "Hahaha, what an arrogant person, then stop gossiping and let us see the real deal!"

After saying that, he kicked the ground suddenly, and in an instant, his figure was like lightning, and he struck with a sword.

Feng Ji casually pulled Xin Shiniang and disappeared from the spot.

Boom!

Where he was originally, the ground roared and exploded, and a terrifying sword energy directly cut open the ground, revealing a deep ravine!

Xia Hou raised his head and looked around with a look of surprise.

He didn't even notice how the other party avoided it!
"Impossible, how can such a fast speed be possible in the world? Could this person be a demon too, using demonic methods!"

But at this moment, I heard a sneer coming from my ears: "I'm very curious. You call yourself the 'Sword Lord' of Jianghu. I guess your martial arts cultivation has reached the top level. Don't you know that there are people who are cultivators in this world?" Spells?"

"If you open your mouth and keep silent, you are talking about demons and witchcraft. Your knowledge is really narrow. Are you going to challenge Yan Chixia?"

Feng Ji's few fluttering words reached Xiahou's ears, and instantly they were like thunder, exploding in his mind!

Xia Hou's expression suddenly changed and he turned his head hastily, only to see Feng Ji standing less than one meter behind him.

"when!"

He was filled with fear and fear, thinking that if Feng Ji didn't say anything just now and took action directly, how sure would he be that he could dodge it?
"You...how did you know that I was looking for Yan Chixia!"

He suddenly reacted and immediately shouted loudly.

Feng Ji said calmly: "No need to ask any more questions. You just need to know that you are far from Yan Chixia now. Go back and practice for a few more years. Don't waste your life."

Xiahou suddenly blushed, and Feng Ji's words were like sharp thorns, piercing his self-esteem.

He immediately shouted angrily: "I haven't fought yet, how do you know I'm not as good as Yan Chixia!"

Feng Ji smiled: "Just because you don't even know Taoism, I know you are no match for Yan Chixia!"

Xia Hou said angrily: "Does Yan Chixia know Taoism?"

"He can!"

Xia Hou was stunned for a moment, his face full of surprise: "He knows Taoism? Impossible, I have fought with him, and he has never used Taoism!"

Feng Ji sneered: "Don't use it doesn't mean you don't know it, but it means you are not qualified to force him to use the Taoist technique."

"You haven't even reached the peak of martial arts, why should you force him to use Taoism to deal with you? If Yan Chixia really uses Taoism, even a hundred of you will not be his opponent."

"impossible!"

Xiahou couldn't accept this statement and immediately denied it angrily!

Feng Ji shook his head and sneered: "It's impossible, you know it yourself, Xiahou, today you have offended my maid, but I can't let you off easily."

After saying that, Feng Ji suddenly raised his hand, and a sharp finger force roared towards him.

Xia Hou's expression changed and he hurriedly swung his sword towards Feng Ji.

This sword exploded to the peak of his strength.

The sword gang circulated on the blade, and as the sword struck, it roared and slashed towards Feng Ji's arm.

However, Feng Ji did not dodge, but shouted: "Let me show you, how far is the gap between your so-called peak of martial arts and the cultivation of Taoism and immortality!"

Feng Ji's body suddenly flashed with red light, and his blood energy surged, illuminating his entire body.

clang!
Xia Hou's sword fell on Feng Ji, but was blocked by the red blood light, making a deafening sound.

"what--"

The powerful force of the counter-shock made Xiahou no longer able to hold the sword in his hand. Suddenly, the tiger's mouth split open and blood flowed out.

He was so jealous that he couldn't believe it.

The next moment, Feng Ji's finger force had reached his shoulders.

With a pop, a finger hole was pierced through Xiahou's shoulder in an instant!
Feng Ji stopped his hand and turned around gracefully.

"Xiahou, martial arts is just a low-level path after all. Only Taoism is the ladder to heaven. The world in your eyes is too small."

Feng Ji turned around and left, and Xin Shisi Niang quickly followed. Before leaving, she did not forget to taunt Xia Hou: "Huh, even in martial arts, you are not the most powerful. If I form pills, you will not be me even if you are ten years old." The opponent, slightly!"

"Master, wait for me, wait for me."

Xin Shisi Niang chased Feng Ji and ran over quickly.

Xia Hou stood in the middle of the road, his face pale.

"No... no, my martial arts is just a small way? But the best swordsman in the world, I have been honing my swordsmanship for ten years just to challenge Yan Chixia. He... he turned out to be A cultivator?" At this moment, Xia Hou felt that it was too ridiculous.

Originally, he thought he had caught up with Yan Chixia, and if he succeeded in this challenge, he would become number one in the world.

But who knew that Feng Ji's words were like a bolt from the blue, letting him know that besides martial arts, there are thousands of ways!
Yan Chixia is not only a martial arts master, but also a Taoist master.

The opponent who originally thought he had caught up has now suddenly become an insurmountable mountain.

Of course he can't accept it.

"No, I want to find Yan Chixia, I want to ask clearly, even if I lose, I also want to know where I lost!"

The decadent look in Xia Hou's eyes flashed away, and then became firm again.

He is worthy of being a master of martial arts and has a tough mind, and was not affected by Feng Ji's words.

But seeing the bloody hole on his shoulder, the wound had been stopped. He bandaged it a few times, turned around and went to the city to find a doctor.

As he walked, several human heads hung on his waist, adding a touch of calmness to his body.

……

"Master, master, why did you let him go? This guy is a bad person."

Xin Shisi Niang couldn't help shouting.

Feng Ji looked at her and said, "Little demon fox, you are a vixen. Isn't it normal for people to slay demons when they see you?"

When Xin Shisi Niang heard this, she immediately pouted: "Master~"

"He is a spiritual beast, he belongs to a spiritual beast."

Feng Ji smiled: "Okay, let me remind you today. In the eyes of some people, a monster is a monster, but it doesn't matter whether you are a spiritual beast or a monster."

"Remember, if you encounter humans with high cultivation levels in the future, stay as far away as possible."

Xin Shisi Niang said quickly: "I wanted to run away a long time ago, but I couldn't run away from him. I really don't know how these guys can run so well even if they don't know magic."

Feng Ji glanced at her and said, "You are already a foundation-building monster in disguise. How come you don't even know a few spells, only illusions and charms?"

Hearing this, Xin Si Niang immediately pouted and said pitifully: "I can't help it, my mother only knows these, and she only gave me these. Master, you don't know, spells and techniques , how precious it is among us fairies.”

"We demons are lucky enough to be able to transform. Some of the spells we know are either magical powers inherited from our bloodline or passed down orally from our ancestors."

"It's not like you humans, there are still writings passed down. As long as future generations can read, they can practice it."

When she said this, she suddenly smiled and said: "But my mother has already started to teach us human writing when I was a child and let us familiarize ourselves with human classic literature. In addition, she will also teach us the beauty and etiquette of human women. Something like that. Sometimes I feel like being a human being is so tiring."

Feng Ji was slightly stunned when he saw a hint of distress on her innocent face of sixteen or seventeen years old.

He couldn't help but smile and said: "You are right about that. Although human beings are the leader of all spirits and favored by heaven and earth, they possess spiritual wisdom from birth. Although their bodies are weak, they can invent various instruments to make up for their own shortcomings. . However, the real source of human suffering is also the spiritual intelligence."

"With spiritual wisdom, there will be seven emotions and six desires. With seven emotions and six desires, there will be troubles."

"So to cultivate Taoism and Buddhism, you must also cut off cause and effect. Some extreme people also pay attention to the purity of the six roots."

Speaking of this, Feng Ji was suddenly startled, thinking that Buddhism, Taoism, and almost all monks in the world seemed to embark on such a 'great road' of severing love and desire.

However, is this path the right one?

If a person has no emotions and six desires, he will indeed have no worries and his state of mind will be as calm as water. But in this case, even if he lives forever, what's the point?
Wild beasts are born with seven emotions and six desires. Are they born as Buddhas and Taoist ancestors?
Looking at it this way, doesn't it mean that monsters are more qualified than humans?
At this moment, Feng Ji couldn't help but think deeply about the meaning of cultivation.

Seeing this, Xin Shiniang couldn't help calling out several times, but she didn't get a response from Feng Ji. She stayed by Feng Ji's side boringly.

She didn't notice at all that Feng Ji's eyes were becoming transparent, and the relics were emitting bursts of transparent light.

The law of cause and effect operates on its own, and Feng Ji seems to have entered a mysterious and mysterious realm.

Everything in heaven and earth has cause and effect.

Buddhist practice is to escape from this cause and effect, not to enter reincarnation, and to achieve a transcendent posture.

All kinds of causes and effects do not apply to the body, so the state it presents is a state of having no desires and desires, and severing love and desires.

Real Taoists also seek cause and effect, and are not far away from being stained by evil fate in the world of mortals. The principles behind this are the same as those of Buddhism.

However, by doing this, you can certainly escape from the mundane world, avoid reincarnation, and do not account for cause and effect.

But this is not an escape.

Only by understanding cause and effect, controlling cause and effect, and changing cause and effect can we understand the great way!

Only in this way can we truly achieve all kinds of cause and effect and never fall upon ourselves.

After understanding this truth, the golden light of the relic instantly swelled in Feng Ji's mind, and the laws of cause and effect flowed through it.

In the blink of an eye, Feng Ji's understanding of the law of cause and effect went directly from the beginner level to the intermediate level!
A mysterious aura appeared on his body.

Xin Shisi Niang stood up suddenly, rubbed her eyes, and looked at Feng Ji with some surprise.

"Owner!"

She only felt that Feng Ji in front of her looked like he was right in front of her, but her consciousness seemed to be covered with a veil of mist. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't seem to see Feng Ji's appearance clearly.

It was as if he was there, yet not there.

Hazy, like a dream!
Feng Ji slowly opened his eyes, felt his state, and couldn't help but laugh.

"I'm lucky today, I have another magical power!"

He looked at the surprised Xin Si Niang and said with a smile: "Little demon fox, you have made great achievements today! This is for you!"

As he spoke, he waved his hand gently, and a jade slip flew into Xin Shiniang's hand.

Xin Shisi Niang was slightly startled and quickly caught the jade slip.

She picked up the jade slip curiously, not knowing how to use it.

"Master, is this...?"

Feng Ji smiled and said: "Put it on your forehead and sweep it with your spiritual consciousness."

Xin Shisi Niang quickly put the jade slip on her forehead, and the next moment, a mysterious spell poured into her sea of ​​consciousness.

""Xuan Shui Zhen Jing"?"

Xin Shisi Niang was stunned for a moment, then a look of surprise appeared on her pretty face: "Master, this...is this a human technique?"

Feng Ji smiled and nodded slightly: "I'll give you the technique. Practice it well and don't lose my reputation in Maoshan."

"Ah? Master, can I practice? Can I really do it?"

Feng Ji smiled and nodded, feeling very good.

Today, the law of cause and effect has entered the intermediate level, his cultivation has become more and more perfect, and his actual combat ability has improved further.

I believe that it won't be long before he can fully understand a law, attack the spirit transformation, and step into the void refining!
"It seems that the Law of Blood should be perfected first."

Feng Ji was guessing in his mind.

Behind her, Xin Shisi Niang was happily practicing the "Xuan Shui Sutra".

This technique is the secret technique of the Water Department, one of the eight divisions of Maoshan. When Feng Ji rebuilt Maoshan, and the disciples of various divisions in Maoshan were recalled by him, all the techniques of Maoshan naturally fell into his hands.

He personally reorganized and compiled the inheritance of Maoshan's eight exercises. It can be said that the entire Maoshan classics and secrets are in Feng Ji's mind.

This "Xuan Shui Zhen Jing" is not a very brilliant method, but it is a great achievement in cultivation, and it points directly to the golden elixir.

The practice after the golden elixir all depends on the individual's understanding of the law of water.

Among this technique, what is more recorded is the magical power and secret technique, which is what Xin Shisi Niang lacks the most.

After all, Xin Shisi Niang is also a demon cultivator who builds the foundation and takes form, but her magical powers and spells are really very few.

I think that when Feng Ji was building the foundation, he possessed many secret techniques of Buddhism. Among the eight divisions of Maoshan, there were as many magic spells as stars in the foundation building period.

However, Feng Ji could also understand that it was a great opportunity for a little demon like Xin Shisi Niang, who had no inheritance foundation, to be able to transform.

Not to mention wanting to practice many magical powers and secret techniques.

She has no chance to come into contact with such inheritance.

At this time, Feng Ji felt a lot of emotion in his heart. Fortunately, he met Uncle Jiu in the previous world and avoided many detours.

"Water escape!"

Suddenly, Xin Shisi Niang, who was practicing, let out a sweet shout. The next moment, she turned into a clear spring and disappeared with a crash.

When he reappeared, he was already 40 meters away.

Her face was full of excitement: "Haha, Master, I have mastered a spell!"

Feng Ji chuckled: "Although there are not many foundation-building spells in the Xuanshui Scripture, the types are quite complete, including escape, attack, defense, treatment and many other spells. If you practice hard and learn these spells, you Only by cultivating this body during the foundation-building period can it be fully brought into play."

"alright."

Xin Shisi Niang nodded repeatedly, happily ran to Feng Ji, hugged his arm, and said: "Master, you are so kind. I will definitely serve you well in the future."

Feng Ji chuckled: "Little demon fox, I won't be able to stay in this world for long. If you can keep up with me, you can still go with me. If you can't keep up, our fate as master and servant will only end in this world." ”

"what?"

Xin Shisi Niang's eyes widened, somewhat incomprehensible.

Feng Ji didn't say anything more to her, but raised his head and looked at a desolate ancient temple not far ahead.

"arrive."

Xin Shisi Niang immediately shifted her attention and looked at the ruined ancient temple ahead.

She couldn't help but said: "This is the City God's Temple in Guobei County? Why is it so broken?"

Feng Ji said calmly: "Because there is no real City God here, the people will not really love the City God, and naturally no one will come to donate incense."

He grabbed Xin Shisi Niang's arm and said, "Let's go, there's no need to watch it here. If you want to see it, go to Hades to see it."

After saying that, he stepped lightly.

In an instant, the space in front of her eyes was slightly distorted, and Xin Shiniang felt that her surroundings suddenly fell into darkness.

The sky was originally bright and clear, but now it turned completely dark.

There was a dark wind whining all around, and there were faint sounds of countless ghosts crying and wolves howling, hidden in the wind.

The soil on the ground was filled with a black yin energy, and it was surrounded by wild sand and rocks, with no vegetation growing.

From time to time, some transparent ghosts would flash away, and then be blown away by the wind.

The scene in front of her made Xin Shisi's scalp numb and she exclaimed: "Underworld?"

She is a demon and has never been to the underworld. This is her first time here, so she can't help but be frightened.

Feng Ji looked indifferent. This was not his first time here. The last time he visited the underworld in Guangping County, he entered the City God's Temple.

This time, it was already a familiar road.

He casually took out a talisman and stuck it on Xin Shiniang's body, saying: "The underworld is different from the world of the sun. Here, any breath of living people will be stared at by lonely ghosts. This talisman can restrain the breath. Cover your vitality and follow me.”

He did not use talismans. The laws of cause and effect flowed on the relics between his eyebrows, and his figure instantly became blurry.

It was as if he was no longer in this world, seemingly very close, but hazy.

He has used the law of cause and effect to cover up his own cause and effect. Let alone an ordinary lonely ghost, even if he is a ghost, it will be difficult to see through his magical power of the law of cause and effect.

At this time, he took a step forward and already saw a big city in front of him.

Outside the big city, a boundary monument was erected.

Submit a letter to: Guobei County!

This is the realm of Guobei County in the human world projected onto the underworld. The big city in front is naturally the underworld city formed by countless cemeteries in Guobei County.
