Maybe he heard the sounds of greetings in the dense forest, but the shadow that covered the sky finally made a move at this time.
He gently raised his hand, and the formation that had previously suppressed Jin Chen from running far away dispersed like wind and sand.
After doing this, the shadow suddenly started to shake slightly, becoming smaller and smaller, and becoming more and more solid.
When the green bull carried the old man to three meters in front of Jinchen, they already looked like real people.
Jinchen immediately wanted to see him as a gift, "Come..."
The old man raised his hand lightly, and Jin Chen suddenly felt his tongue stiff and unable to say the last word.
At this time, Zishen and Lin Feng had hurriedly rushed behind her, bowed and said, "I have met senior."
Why doesn't he let me talk? Jinchen felt a little confused, but at this moment, she felt her tongue moving slightly.
No, it’s not that he didn’t let me talk.
Jinchen opened his mouth, but no sound came out of his throat.
He doesn't allow me to call him senior.
It's really weird. Both Zishen and Lin Feng can pay tribute to him, but I can't call him senior.
I shouldn't have any grudge against him, right? So……
Jinchen pursed his lips lightly, stopped his previous gesture of greeting him, straightened up, and looked at the old man in front of him.
The old man hung up his fly whisk, held his left hand in his right hand, cupped his hands at Jinchen and said, "Fellow Taoist."
No wonder he didn't allow me to call him "senior".
Jinchen quickly returned the gift and said, "Fellow Taoist."
Fellow?
Fellow!
Lin Feng slashed at Zishen with a single glance.
What did you think, you came here in such a hurry to greet me, now you are fine, you are a generation shorter than Miss Jinchen.
Zishen also smiled and thought back: Brother Lin just ran faster than me.
"Dare I ask why brother calls me fellow Taoist?" Jin Chen said.
How dare she ask. Lin Feng glanced at Zishen.
What can't be asked? Zishen responded.
"If fellow Taoist can see me in this way today, then he will naturally be a fellow Taoist in the future." The old man replied.
You are not talented enough! Lin Feng looked at Zishen.
The corners of Zi Shen's eyes twitched. Brother Lin, if you are so "good at talking", you will be beaten to death in the future!
Don’t worry, no one can beat me to death! Lin Feng squinted his eyes.
"Brother Taoist, you think too highly of me. I'm just a mediocre person, not a genius." Jin Chen said in a clear voice, "I have met two real geniuses, and they are far better than me."
"Misfortune lies where blessings depend, and blessing lies where misfortune lies. I have only seen Taoist friends with such strong catastrophic luck in my life. Judging from this, Taoist friends must also be people with great blessings." The old man said calmly.
Is the calamity so strong that I have only seen it in my life?
Zishen looked at Lin Feng, Brother Lin, this old man is "speaker" better than you.
Lin Feng's face twitched and he tried his best to signal Zishen with his eyes: "Shut up, he is looking at us!"
Zi Shen was startled and quickly returned to a respectful look.
"Brother Taoist, can you see the catastrophe on my body?" Jin Chen was a little excited and took a step forward, "Then from Brother Taoist's perspective, how should I deal with these catastrophes?"
"Everything has its cause and effect."
Jin Chen wanted to ask further, but the old man said again: "The secret must not be leaked."
Ha, Jinchen laughed.
She hated people who knew a lot of things but couldn't explain them clearly.
Destiny, right? Cause and effect, right?
"Then why did Brother Dao see me today, and what was the result?"
If you don’t want to talk about cause and effect, then I will talk about cause and effect with you.
"Now that Brother Dao has seen the depth of my misfortune, does Brother Dao intend to retreat and not be tainted by my karma? Or has he just met me once? Brother Dao and I have already planted a karma, and we must form a relationship." Fruit? If there is fruit, what is it? When will it be borne?"
Behind Jinchen, Lin Feng and Zishen broke out in cold sweat.
She really dares to say, does she know what kind of existence is in front of her?
The way he appeared before, it’s not an exaggeration to say he was a god or demon!
And now she is actually questioning such an existence, how dare she do it? This is too courageous!
But the two of them didn't know that Jinchen was not brave, but that she had once looked directly at a real god, so in her eyes, no matter how strong the old man in front of her was, he was just a "powerful creature".
Since he still belongs to the category of living things, he can't scare her.
It can be said that he is a person with profound luck.
"My little friend is quite smart." The old man smiled and said, "My little friend is right. Since you have called me here today, you will naturally have a connection with me."
"But you know, little friend, that [ceremony] is just a gift to ask me for help when you are in danger. Now that the old Taoist has dispersed the formation that threatened my little friend, the cause and effect of this incident has naturally been resolved." The old man stroked his beard and said leisurely .
"Are you done with this cause and effect? But Brother Dao just dispersed the formation diagram, and he helped me. By helping me, you are doing me a favor. Since Brother Dao has been kind to me, I will naturally repay it in the future. Since I still want to repay Brother Dao's kindness, what's the point of settling this cause and effect?" Jin Chen continued to ask.
The old man was still stroking his beard leisurely and said in a leisurely manner: "Although I think I owe you a favor, little friend, I don't know that the [gift] that calls me here is a contract recognized by heaven. When others call me, I Just give me a helping hand, and the contract will be completed without causing any consequences."
"Of course, my little friend's speculation is not unreasonable." The old man added: "My little friend wants to repay my kindness, so this is another [cause] born from my little friend. But I know, little friend, there are also big and small causes and effects. ?”
"What is the difference between cause and effect?" Jin Chen asked again.
It's just that this time, although she asked, her attitude was much more respectful. It was not so much "asking" as "asking for advice."
"Suppose there are two countries in the world. One day, the king of a neighboring country conceals his identity and comes to visit his own country. During the trip, the king saw an Orion who was injured by a wild beast. The King felt that the Orion was pitiful, so he gave him healing medicine to save his life. He killed Orion. Orion was grateful for his kindness and wanted to repay him after he recovered from his injury, but he never saw the king again."
"The king saved Orion, and Orion wanted to repay him. This is [cause]. Orion never saw the king again, and he couldn't repay him. This is [cause but no effect]."
"But suppose the identities of the king and Orion are reversed, and it is not the king who saves Orion, but Orion who saves the king. Do you think there will be a cause or effect in this matter?" The old man looked at Jinchen and asked lightly.
It wasn't the king who saved Orion, but Orion who saved the king? If the king wants to repay an Orion, even if he doesn't know the Orion originally, as the king of a country, it is not difficult to find an Orion.
They are both rescuing people and repaying kindness. One has a cause but no effect, while the other forms a closed loop of cause and effect.
It turns out that this is the difference between cause and effect.
In other words, the Taoist brother in front of me now is similar to the king in the story, and am I the same as the Orion?
If the king wants to repay the kindness of the hunter, maybe the hunter will enjoy glory and wealth; if the hunter wants to repay the kindness of the king, it may be fruitless, or maybe the hunter cannot help the king at all and cannot repay the kindness.
So, no matter whether I want to repay Brother Tao, the size of my karma will not affect him?
"So the cause and effect Brother Dao talks about is connection, implication, and the impact one can have on others. The stronger one is, the higher his status is, the more people he can influence, and the greater his own causal implication. And when a person When he is weak and has a low status, he can influence fewer people, and his own causal involvement is also small." Jin Chen said.
"Not bad." The old man nodded gently.
"A person whose own involvement in the cause and effect is very small cannot have an impact on someone whose own involvement in the cause and effect is vast. Is this what Brother Dao wants to tell me?" Jin Chen asked again.
The old man nodded again and agreed with Jinchen's conjecture.
"Then Brother Dao dispersed the formation and left. Why did he come to me again? Why did he still talk to me?" Jin Chen looked directly at the old man in front of him, "What did Brother Dao see? In other words, Brother Dao wanted to What's the reason for this with me?"
It is difficult for a person with a small cause and effect to have an impact on a person with a big cause and effect. So what if she didn't want to repay the favor? What if the old man in front of her wants her to repay her kindness? That person with big karma can easily influence that little person!
It is not difficult for the king to find an Orion, and even if the Orion does not want to repay his kindness, the King can order him: "Repay your kindness with death"!
This is the difference between cause and effect, and this is the power of great cause and effect!
"Hahaha..." The old man stroked his beard and smiled, "My little friend is really smart."
Yes, if he doesn't want to have a causal relationship with Jinchen, he can just disperse the formation and leave. Regardless of whether Jinchen wants to repay his kindness or not, Jinchen's cause and effect cannot affect him.
So if he stays now, it can only be because he wants to influence Jinchen. He wanted to plant a cause with Jinchen and bear a fruit.
Moreover, judging from the theory of cause and effect, Jinchen is not qualified to refuse now.
An Orion cannot refuse the King. The arms can never twist the thighs!
"My little friend, do you know what state I am in?"
"I don't know."
"My little friend, do you know what karma I am responsible for?"
"I don't know."
"Then my little friend, you dare to ask? Do you dare to taint my cause and effect?"
"Newborn calf."
"Hahaha..." The old man laughed loudly.
After laughing, he straightened his face, stared at Jinchen seriously, and said word by word: "My little friend, have you ever thought about another situation where the king wants to repay the favor of Orion?"
Jinchen smiled softly, she was not stupid, of course she understood what the old man meant.
"The king said: [I will find my benefactor and reward him greatly!] So, the money and silk moved people's hearts. Some of the people sent by the king to find the hunters became greedy. They secretly killed the hunters and then sent their own A person pretends to be a person and receives a reward.”
Hearing Jin Chen's words, Lin Feng suddenly trembled and his pupils shrank like needlepoints.
"When a person with a big cause and effect wants to repay someone with a small cause and effect, because of the difference between the size of the cause and effect, the former's kindness and the former's cause and effect may directly overwhelm the latter! Brother Taoist, am I right?" Jinchen chuckled.
"My little friend is smart." The old man said calmly.
Lin Feng's teeth also began to chatter, and his eyes looked frightened.
It's just that he lowered his head at this time, and neither Jinchen nor Zishen could notice anything strange about him at this time.
"But it's not all bad, right? After all, it's impossible for all the people sent out to deceive the king. Maybe the hunter will be found by a loyal person and enjoy a lifetime of glory and wealth; maybe the hunter will be found by the bad guys and be killed on the spot. A tragic death; maybe the loyal minister and the villain started fighting before they could find the hunter, both sides suffered losses, and no one found the hunter." Jin Chen continued.
"Okay, okay." The old man laughed, "My little friend is indeed a man of great wisdom. If so, then I don't have to worry too much about my safety."
As he spoke, the old man raised his fly whisk, and a ray of milky white light was swept into the center of Jin Chen's eyebrows.
"I see that your little friend is ill, so I will help you deal with some of the hidden dangers without permission. The old master will come back to repay your kindness in the future!"
The whisk lightly swept by, and Jinchen and the other three felt a dazzling light explode in front of their eyes, making them dizzy. When the three of them came to their senses, the old man and Qingniu had disappeared.
At this time, another drastic change occurred within Jinchen's sea of consciousness.
