The third year of Shengyuan was at the end of the year.
A carriage was moving slowly on the official road against the wind and snow.
In front of the carriage, the whip in Lin Ji's hand fell on the butt of the old horse pulling the carriage from time to time.
In fact, this new old horse was not passive at work, it was just that he was bored and had nothing to do, so he just took a few strokes.
Driving a car is really boring, and this action is just to relieve boredom, and the old horse has obviously long been accustomed to using his butt to relieve boredom, so no matter how hard Lin Ji whips it, it maintains a slow and steady speed.
"I thought I would be able to arrive in Yangzhou before the New Year, but who would have thought it would take so long."
"You have been living in Qinghua Mountain for more than half a month." Lu Zhaoer's voice sounded in the car.
She opened the curtains and looked behind her.
There was a huge wall that spanned the east and west, and the official road they walked on extended far into the distance, and they could see a narrow valley that was only visible.
"Snow is really rare in Xiangzhou. I remember that after a ray of sky, it should be much warmer here than in the north." Lu Zhaoer said casually.
"There have been so many strange things in the past two years, so it doesn't matter if it snows." Lin Ji responded with a smile.
The curtains fell again, and Lu Zhaoer was silent.
During her time in Qinghua Mountain, she received a lot of guidance from Lingchen, and now she is already preparing to break through to the Sun Traveling Realm.
It's just that this step is extremely important for Yuanshen monks, and it won't be so easy to cross, even for Lu Zhaoer, who is extremely talented.
Compared with Lu Zhaoer, in Qinghua Mountain, Lin Ji, in addition to communicating with several Taoist monks from the Qingcheng Sect, was more focused on understanding his own path of cause and effect.
That was the new realization brought to him after the ninth heavenly tribulation fell.
Now Lin Ji's body has returned to its usual state. Although there is no Dantian, there is a cyclone in the Dantian.
The cyclone maintained the spiritual power in his body like a dantian, and if he fought with others, he only needed to use the power of his soul to control countless spiritual energies of heaven and earth around him.
But that cyclone seems to be only used in certain places where the spiritual energy is exhausted, or when you are in certain difficulties.
In other words, the cyclone was not used as a source of confidence to fight with others, but seemed to exist to maintain his unsullied body in the Taoist realm.
In addition to the changes in his cultivation, Lin Ji spent more than half a month studying the new hazy pattern in his mind.
He had already seen that the new interlaced pattern of gold and black was the Tai Chi Yin Yang fish transformed from the path of cause and effect that flashed before his eyes.
This is the embodiment of his path of cause and effect. If he is determined to draw a diagram of the path in the future, he will eventually show the pattern of the yin and yang fish transformed from the path of cause and effect.
In addition, he also gained a new magical power through the path of cause and effect.
"So what do you mean by manipulating cause and effect? The magical powers of you monks are too weird. I have heard my grandfather say a lot, but I can't understand it." Lu Zhaoer's voice sounded.
"You're not practicing." Lin Ji was stunned.
"River realm is not something that happens overnight." Lu Zhaoer said.
Lin Ji smiled and explained: "To put it simply, it is probably the so-called so-called good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be rewarded with evil."
"What's the difference between saying this and not saying it?"
"I can see the cause and effect on you. There are no pure and kind people in the world. Even you and I are also entangled in many sins and causes."
"Then what?"
"If I wanted to, I could make your evil deeds immediately retributive."
"It's still too general." Lu Zhaoer frowned.
Lin Jizheng was thinking about how to explain it, when suddenly there was the sound of rapid horse hooves on the road ahead.
Ta da da. Ta da da.
A moment later, a group of horse bandits blocked the carriage.
Lu Zhaoer heard the noise and opened the car curtain.
At the same time, the horse bandit leader saw her at a glance, and then his eyes lit up.
"Brothers! There are beauties! I want more wives for the village, hahahaha!" The horse bandit leader laughed wildly.
Many minions behind him also laughed and waved their weapons.
"The horse bandits in Xiangzhou are still the same." Lin Ji sighed.
When he first came to Xiangzhou, he met the horse bandits. Later he learned that there was a larger force behind these horse bandits, so he did not continue to get involved.
People always have to act within their capabilities.
Lin Ji looked at Lu Zhaoer, and the color of his pupils began to change slowly. One eye became dark and the white was missing, while the other's eyes glowed with golden light.
"This is...?" Lu Zhaoer was surprised.
At the same time, golden threads and black threads appeared around Lin Ji's body. Lines of two different colors intertwined. This was the manifestation of his Tao Yun.
"This is the way of cause and effect."
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ji's eyes fell on the group of horse bandits in the distance.
In his strange-colored eyes, gold and black lines appeared around the horse bandits just like him.
It's just that only he can see these gold and black lines.
Then, Lin Ji raised a hand and shook it in the air.
The black threads around the horse bandits disappeared without a trace in an instant, leaving only thin golden threads around each of them. The golden threads of a group of people gathered together, making them more Buddha than Buddha.
But the next moment, the leading horse bandit suddenly froze in place, and the horse under his crotch was still unaware.
thump!
It was the sound of the horse bandit leader falling to the ground.
And this seemed to be the beginning. Soon, many minions behind him fell one after another.
"What kind of method is this?" Lu Zhaoer was extremely surprised.
"Evil begets evil."
"Are they dead now?"
"More than that, look at their physical bodies." Lin Ji said.
After hearing this, Lu Zhaoer realized that the bodies of the horse bandits lying on the ground were slowly turning into ashes.
"I once used this method to forcefully annihilate cause and effect for a monk from the Ghost King Sect. It was just that it was too reluctant at first and I paid a lot of price. But now it is different. I can see through people at a glance. The good and evil causes and effects can also be selectively annihilated for them."
Lin Ji had a slight smile on his face.
"At the beginning, I used the power of karma that I had accumulated to forcefully balance the karma on people's bodies, so that they could become immortal. This method was a trick at the time, but now it seems to be a stupid method."
"How to say?"
"At this moment, I use the Tao of Cause and Effect to forcibly annihilate the cause and effect of sin for them. What is not not to retaliate before the time comes, but in front of Lin, there is no such thing."
"The evil they committed caused them to die, but the few good deeds left are still there, but that is also a matter of the next life, if they can still be human beings in the next life."
As soon as the words fell, the body of the horse bandit had been completely reduced to ashes, leaving only a group of horses without their owners on the road, at a loss where they were.
Lin Ji urged the carriage to move forward.
"So as long as I am contaminated with Karma, I will end up like this in front of you? This is too terrible." Lu Zhaoer was speechless, this was completely beyond her imagination.
"That's because they are too weak. If they were stronger monks, they wouldn't be able to resist at all." Lin Ji shook his head, and then said, "But the cause and effect is far more than that. It's just my The conduct of the Tao is not enough."
"Isn't this enough? How old are you? Do you want to piss me off?"
