In the courtyard at the top of Ziyanling Mountain, Yan glanced at his clone, who was looking at him eagerly, feeling a little weird in his heart.
In fact, Yan and the Shinto clone, at such a close distance, can completely synchronize their thoughts as long as they want to, but Yan needs the Shinto clone to take charge of Shinto affairs independently in the future.
It is precisely because of this consideration that Yan will not interact with his clones at will under normal circumstances unless necessary, so as not to affect the growth of his independent thinking and intelligence.
However, in this case, as the avatar's independent spirituality becomes stronger and stronger, sometimes there will be strange scenes of being at odds with oneself.
“The poison of incense comes from the impurities of human desires, and is the poison of human desires. If the incense continues, and the desires of the mortal world continue, it will continue to lure people into the sea of desire, annihilate the spiritual nature of the Tao, and then sink all living beings.
In addition, incense also involves sentient beings praying for cause and effect, and the endless entanglement of cause and effect will infect the Taoist heart, gradually sinking and even annihilating the divine nature. It completely turned him into a puppet of the faith of all living beings, his divinity degenerated, and he died even though he was alive. "
Although Yan had resisted the attack of the incense poison just now, he had even used it to hone his Taoist heart, purify his spiritual will, and completely eliminate the ray of incense poison.
But when he talked about the essence of it, his expression was still solemn, not at all relaxed.
After all, what he had just faced was just a small part of the stubborn remnants of poison that remained after the avatar had absorbed the merits of the incense and the incense during this period and was killed by the innate aura and divine ban.
The gods feed on incense, and may be able to refine the poison of incense on their own in a short period of time, but after years of accumulation, it is not too unrealistic to continue to refine it on their own.
After all, human power is limited, and if you fight against the poison of all living beings on your own, you will eventually fail and be harmed by the poison of incense.
In the legends of the past life, it seems to be mentioned in a subtle way that small gods like the earth do not seem to last long, and the life span of gods seems to have its limit.
Now that I think about it, on the one hand, it may be because of the need to purify the divine system and prevent people who have exhausted their merits from continuing to occupy the energy that consumes the entire divine system.
On the other hand, I'm afraid it may not be without the influence of the poison of incense. After all, the sacred way of incense is a shortcut for gods, and the poison of incense is like the balance and restriction of heaven and earth to this kind of gods, and is the natural way of heaven and earth.
Of course, on the other hand, limiting the lifespan of many gods of incense is not a glimmer of hope and goodwill left by heaven and earth to the gods.
After all, if these incense gods do not die out in advance, what awaits them in the end will most likely be eternal destruction.
However, the gods exercise the power of heaven and earth and do many meritorious deeds. They are blessed by the destiny of heaven and earth. If they are completely destroyed by the poison of incense, it is not a good thing for heaven and earth or for Shinto.
Of course, Yan also secretly speculated that there might be ways to resist the poison of incense in the heavens and holy religions of later generations.
However, there may be restrictions, or the cost may be huge, and it is really not worth the trouble and effort for many low-level gods to form a connection with heaven and earth.
After all, with a limited lifespan, these incense gods can also use their merits in this life to cleanse their cause and effect in the cycle of heaven and earth, and gain a chance to rebuild their merits in the next life, or even go further.
The vitality of the gods has been restored, the balance of heaven and earth and good thoughts have been taken care of, and the gods have become more energetic. Why not get the best of all three.
What's more, with the death of the gods, the poison of incense accumulated throughout their lives was also brought into reincarnation, and then the mighty power of reincarnation of heaven and earth was used to eradicate this stubborn poison of human nature.
Of course, these are Yan's own guesses. Although they are reasonable and in line with the natural way of heaven and earth, the heavens and saints in future generations cannot completely guess what they are now.
No matter what the heavens and saints of later generations thought, at this time, after Yan thoroughly understood the nature of the poison of incense, he was extremely aware of how difficult it was to deal with.
"The cause and effect of all living beings is indeed troublesome, but as long as we are not radical, we can clarify the yin and yang with the power of two innate spiritual lights, and cut off the causes with the sword of wisdom.
Even if all causes and effects cannot be completely cut off, the remaining few causes and effects can be slowly sorted out and unraveled based on merit and one's own determination. "
The clone frowned slightly, looked at Yan and said, "As for the poison of human desire, why does it sound so like the inner demon?
However, the inner demon doesn't seem to be that powerful, and even the divine light of the innate spiritual treasure can't do anything about it. Can we only rely on our own spiritual strength to resist? No other way? "
Yan Wenyan glanced at the clone and couldn't help but nodded slightly in his heart, becoming more and more satisfied with its spirituality and independent thinking ability.
"Cause is the cause of all beings. The method you mentioned can indeed solve most problems, but whether it can solve all problems, I think it is better to be more cautious.
Just now, the poison of incense eroded my soul and will, and the poison of cause and effect was directly resisted with a firm Taoist heart. It seems simple, but after long-term accumulation, it will only become more and more difficult to deal with. "
At this point, Yan was afraid of hitting the clone, and continued to comfort him: "However, the power of cause and effect exists because of people, and it also disappears because of people's destruction. If it is not the ultimate cause and effect, I think the power of reincarnation of heaven and earth can annihilate everything." Partial causation.
Therefore, as long as we are careful, practice a lot of merits, keep the Taoist mind in mind, make our will firm and pure in mind, we should be able to solve the problem of cause and effect. "
At this point, Yan's voice paused slightly, and after pondering for a moment, he continued again: "As for the poison of desire, from my experience, it is indeed very similar to the inner demon in the legends of later generations.
But it is more like an external demon, which can forcefully bring out the hidden desires in people. The combination of internal and external demonic desires makes people unable to guard against it, but at the same time, they can't stop.
As for the solution. Merits and spiritual cultivation are on the one hand, just like Buddhism in later generations, which saves all sentient beings, diligently cultivates merits, and then uses its own outstanding Buddha mind to completely control and annihilate demonic desires.
But the gods are different. The poison of desire for incense comes from all living beings. If you want to fight against the desire of all living beings with your own power, it will be good for a while, but it will be lost in the long run.
Therefore, in addition to strengthening merit and spiritual practice, external forces are also needed. "As he said that, a vertical eye between his Yan brows opened and closed, and a purple light flashed away.
When the light fell, the already blurry black spots around the clone's feet only had time to neigh and were completely annihilated under the purple energy.
"Can your divine eye restrain the poison of this incense?" the clone asked in surprise.
"My divine eye is based on blood, inscribed with merits and destinies, and is formed by absorbing the immeasurable purple energy of the morning sun. Its light is upright and can ward off all evils. It can also expel external demons and destroy the remaining poisons of incense."
Yan Jingji just gave it a try, but he really didn't expect the effect to be so good, even better than the innate spiritual treasure divine light, and he felt slightly arrogant for a while.
But then I thought about it, it was me who was facing him, and I couldn't help but feel extremely embarrassed.
He could only forcefully change the topic and said: "However, I can't always be by your side. I'm just giving you an example. In the future, you can pay attention to the treasure spells to restrain the remaining poisonous external demons."
When the clone heard this, his face darkened, and he frowned and said, "Is there any direct way now? Treasure spells depend on chance. Where can I find them at once?"
When Yan heard this, his eyes flashed slightly, and he said confidently: "Although there is no radical cure for the time being, it may not be able to solve the problem."
