Cai Ji bowed and said, "Thank you, Mr. Shan, for your earnest teachings."
Yamazaki received a half-ceremony, which he deserved.
"This is what it should be. If I can't save you, I'm afraid Scorpio will also suffer. You are on the same line."
"Let's talk about the skills. Now that you have completed the elixir fire, your true energy can be practiced in the form of Five Elements Technique. You just don't have to worry about it and just pretend that you have no cultivation."
"The tactics are to draw talisman formations and sound attacks. There is no need to worry about these, we will talk about them later."
"As for the mental method, you are already very knowledgeable, so you should first understand it on your own."
"In action, you need to think about your life, your path, the path you want to take, and why you want to practice Taoism."
"Think about it, strengthen your faith, and carve out your own path. You will naturally develop your soul. As for when the time comes, just let things take their own course."
"Yes, I will follow the instructions carefully." Cai Ji solemnly responded.
…
In the year 749 of the Linghai Kingdom, after the New Year, Yamaqi, Gu Ling'er, Miss Gu Diao, Scorpio, and Cai Ji went to the Western Capital of the Liu Dynasty again.
Yamazaki led the team to an ancestral hall where people were secretly worshiping Cai Daru.
Although Cai Ji was sad, she was also a little happy. The people loved her father so much. It was really worth dying for him to work for the rebellious Grand Master Dong.
…
At this time, the Liu Dynasty was already in a state of chaos.
Officials separatist rule, bandits occupy the mountains, and the remnants of the Yellow Turbans plunder everywhere.
But it was far away, and Xidu was quite peaceful under the suppression of force.
The only one hanging around in the middle is also the most unstable one, that is General Lu, who is extremely powerful. It can be said that he will cause trouble wherever he goes.
The five Yamasakis followed behind to collect the remains of the deceased and to pray for them.
The Lu Jiajun discovered them quickly, but after a few days of surveillance, they did not pay much attention to the five coolies who were obviously weak.
After a long time, General Lu's family members actually brought people to help.
His beloved concubine Diao Chan and his daughter Lu Qiling seem to be known as the most beautiful woman in the world, and she will probably be as beautiful as Cai Ji in the future.
After seeing too much, the young Lu Qiling didn't think so, but Diao Chan discovered that there was something different about Yamazaki and others.
Because no one wants to collect the body quietly like this, without asking for money or things, unless there is something wrong with it, or what it is asking for.
…
That morning, while we were packing up the bodies, it suddenly started to rain, and it tended to get heavier and heavier.
The guards used magic to move the trees and set up a shelter from the rain. The servants arranged seats and served refreshments.
Diao Chan looked at the five Yamazaki people in the distance, and with a thought in her heart, she asked someone to invite them to take shelter from the rain.
After hearing this, Yamazaki told the sergeant who delivered the order that they were of low status and could not meet with distinguished people.
The sergeant thought so and went back to send a message, but Diao Chan asked him to invite again.
Yamazaki knew he couldn't hide, so he followed the sergeant forward.
It is for their own good to pray, because they cannot bear it.
Immediately a servant stared, "How bold..."
"It doesn't matter. Don't scare them. You all should retreat."
Diao Chan dismissed the servant guards, leaving only Lu Qiling.
"Looking at the behavior of the five of them, they must be extraordinary people. I dare to ask, little girl, why did you follow our army all the way and collect the remains behind?"
"Madam, you are serious, we are just practicing."
"Practice?"
"By collecting the coffin for the deceased, you can gain merit and benefit the next life."
"The next life."
Yamazaki cupped his hands and said bluntly, "I'm sorry to talk too much, but Madam has achieved something in this life, and General Lu is an unparalleled hero today. But he has committed too many sins. If you can't do more good deeds and accumulate merit, you have to be careful about retribution."
Diao Chan frowned, "Then what should I do according to my husband's wishes?"
"Retreating overseas will ensure your longevity."
Lu Qiling bared her teeth, "My father doesn't know how to do that."
Yamazaki didn't say anything more. Anyway, that was the cause and effect of sheltering from the rain.
…
After that, General Lu continued to fight all the way, offending people all the way, attacking General Cao, Liu Ren, the Yuan family, the Yellow Turbans, the court forces, and the thieves.
It can be said that there is no one he dares not provoke or fight.
The heroes were afraid of him, and in the end they had no choice but to unite against him.
Introduce the Lu family's army into the city, and then join forces to surround it with formations.
General Lu can break through alone, but there are many powerful generals waiting for him outside.
At the same time, his family members could not break through, and neither could his Lu family's army.
General Lu was in a dilemma. During his hesitation, his Lu family army rebelled, and most of them fled and surrendered to the coalition forces.
I only followed him because he was powerful and profitable, but now I was trapped and died in the city, so I naturally left him.
General Lu wanted to surrender, but the coalition refused to agree.
No matter how humbly he begged, it was of no avail.
Liu Ren couldn't bear it and agreed to let his family go.
However, his family members did not agree and were willing to die with him.
But in the end, all his family members died. He led the remnant army to rush out without giving up. He was besieged by the fierce generals and could not escape.
In the end, he was exhausted and captured alive.
The meridians all over his body were destroyed, his bones were broken, and he became a useless person like mud. He was then paraded around the streets in public.
It took a full year (755 years of the Linghai calendar) before he died on the road, and his rotten body was left on the barren mountain to be eaten by wild beasts.
…
The five Yamazakis collected the remains of General Lu, but Yamazaki felt the strong resentment above and asked Gu Ling'er to put him into the star chessboard.
General Lu's consciousness has entered the underworld, but ghosts have appeared in his body.
This means that cause and effect has already occurred. If you kill this ghost now, he may be completely destroyed.
This will cause serious consequences, so we can only trap him first, wait until he becomes stronger and give birth to a soul, and then see what to do, see if we can help him out and let him go to the underworld.
…
Cai Ji couldn't help but sigh, "Shan Lao, is it true that General Lu is punished for his evil deeds? What will happen to his family?"
"Good deeds and evil deeds will be rewarded in the end. Diao Chan and Lu Qiling led people to collect many remains. This kindness will definitely be rewarded." Yamazaki stroked his beard, "General Lu suffered a lot, and he will suffer less when he goes down there. Ku, he has done great merit by killing Grand Master Dong, and I am afraid he will go to heaven in the future."
Cai Ji was surprised, "Huh? Can this person become a heavenly being?"
Yamazaki pondered: "It is very likely that he is Shura, who was transferred to become a monk, but he first went to hell to stay for countless years. Maybe when you become a golden immortal, he may not be able to come out."
"That's more fair."
Yamazaki said with emotion: "This is cause and effect. It is the fairest thing. As long as you are here in this world, whatever you have done will have to be repaid. Even Taoist Buddha cannot escape."
Cai Ji thought, "If you practice immortality, in the end, you can only watch and watch from the side forever."
Yamazaki was funny, "Isn't this enough? What else do you want? Master everything, master the heaven and earth, master the fate of all things in the three realms. Aren't you tired of living?"
"All creatures in the three realms don't like to have such a person who can play with their destiny at will."
"The so-called, my destiny is not up to my will, is the most true portrayal."
Cai Ji asked: "Is this true?"
"It's true, but it's not entirely true," Yamazaki touched his beard, "Because even if you have survived since the beginning of the world, as long as you are in this world, there are countless causes and effects, including breathing."
"It's impossible to avoid them all, but if you have great merit, you can get some protection."
"Coupled with the understanding of cause and effect, you can control your destiny to a certain extent, but the road of life is still full of pitfalls. Whatever you step on depends on how much cause and effect you provoke."
"So that's it." Cai Ji thought thoughtfully.
Gu Ling'er, Miss Gu Diao, and Scorpio also had some thoughts and feelings.
Yamazaki said nothing more and took them to the wilderness so that they could think more.
