Incense usually refers to the incense and candles used to worship ancestors and worship gods and Buddhas.
In the Immortal Realm, for the Xianghuo Temple, the Xianghuo Tao is the foundation of their life, the method of establishing their destiny, and the great art of inheritance.
This mysterious Tao, in addition to gathering the mind power of all living beings and blessing one's body, also has a little-known effect, which is to analyze the essence, ascertain the past and predict the future through the connection of incense.
This is what Buddhists often say about the cause and condition of incense, and there are consequences and rewards.
From some aspects, it is similar to Xu Yue's causal ban.
At this time, what Xu Yue showed the old monk was a clearer and more specific perspective of cause and effect than the way of incense.
"The [Seventh Ban on Demon Sealing: The Ban on Cause and Effect] is being triggered. The host can touch the causes and conditions in the world, and can also cut off the threads of cause and effect, and prohibit cause and effect."
Uh-huh!
Lines of cause and effect appeared, and the old monk's old eyes suddenly opened wide, looking at this scene in disbelief.
Xu Yue waved his hand, and the redundant causal line was hidden by him, leaving only the brand-new causal line between the two people, and then gently tugged on it.
"If you can't see the incense road clearly, I'll let you see." Xu Yue sneered and snapped his fingers.
Snapped!
The old monk suddenly raised his head and looked into Xu Yue's eyes, only to find that his eyes were full of blood, full of killing and death.
Woo!
In an instant, the scene around the old monk changed. The wind was howling and ghosts were screaming. It was like being in an abyss of hell, full of terror and horror.
The scene behind Xu Yue was once again vaguely displayed in front of the old monk.
"Is this what you saw with the incense path?"
Strange sounds came from all around, and the old monk could tell that it was Xu Yue talking, but when he heard it, it sounded like the whisper of a devil, making people shiver.
"yes……"
The old monk stood in the void, looking at the terrifying vision around him, and struggled to respond.
If he hadn't practiced Buddhism for many years and had a firm mind, he would have been lost in this dark hell.
"Then now, take a closer look at what this is."
Xu Yue bent his index finger, and then flicked the causal line between the two.
Ding!
The crisp bell rang, and the space was filled with bloody ripples.
The scene behind Xu Yue finally became clear.
It was indeed a hell.
It seems to be a starry sky and a deep chasm.
There, there are blue flames that burn the soul, ghosts that eat the soul, and an abyss that can swallow the light of the soul.
One after another, creatures that look like humans but not humans, with twisted bodies, wander here aimlessly, devouring each other, as if they have been like this for thousands of years.
Their bodies are either covered with tumors and dripping with dirty blood, or they have countless hands and heads on their shoulders. No matter how you look at them, they don't look like normal creatures, which is disgusting.
"This...here is..."
The old monk's eyes widened. Even with his cultivation in the Tribulation Realm, he was terrified and extremely uneasy at this moment.
Then, a figure came from a distance to kill, holding a sharp blade and a golden fist, constantly blasting the surrounding monsters and destroying the strange blue flames.
It’s none other than Xu Yue!
Accompanied by screams one after another, many monsters fell into a pool of blood. Black blood flowed all over the ground, and the mountains of corpses looked like a sight in Beijing.
At this time, the old monk finally reacted.
The blurry picture he saw using the incense path was exactly the scene in front of him!
Ding!
Another soft bell rang, the ripples spread, the line of cause and effect disappeared, the surrounding environment began to change, and the two returned to the mysterious little temple somewhere in the forest on Yidi Mountain.
"Master, do you have any questions now?"
Xu Yue drank the tea cup in his hand, and the blood in his eyes receded like a tide, returning to normal.
"call……"
Ahead, the old monk took a deep breath and exhaled slowly.
At some point, he was already sweating profusely because of his advanced cultivation. This was something that had not happened in hundreds of years.
"Amitabha."
The old monk recited a Buddhist chant, and his mood finally calmed down. Then he looked at the man in front of him and was speechless for a long time.
"Nothing more to say? In that case, I've finished drinking the tea, so I'll leave first." Xu Yue stood up and prepared to leave.
"Donor, please wait."
The old monk stood up quickly, clasped his hands together, and bowed deeply to Xu Yue.
"Donor, I was rude earlier, please forgive me." The old monk bowed again.
Xu Yue said nothing, staring at the back of the other person's head, looking at the scar, wondering what he thought of.
The old monk stood up and sighed: "I originally thought that the mountain of corpses and sea of blood behind the benefactor was the murder that was going to be committed in Mount Di this time. But now it seems that is not the case. It is because I am stupid."
The old monk sat back again, took out the jianzhi in his arms, and struck the wooden fish again.
Xu Yue thought for a while and left in no hurry. He pulled the futon and sat down.
"The path of incense is flawed. Although we can see some essences, we cannot distinguish between true and false. It is also difficult to break through the limitations of time and judge whether it belongs to the past or the future."
The old monk spoke frankly and admitted his previous mistakes, and then said: "I just didn't expect that the donor is so proficient in the way of cause and effect, and I am not as good as me."
"No, Xiang Huo also has his own unique features, such as the method of condensing mind power and the method of driving away disasters and avoiding dangers. I can't do this." Xu Yue replied.
Da da da.
The wooden fish continued to chirp, and wisps of green smoke appeared out of thin air.
Dao rhyme spread, runes appeared, and the two finally changed from the previous confrontation to a pure discussion of Dao.
"Where is it?" After a long time, the old monk asked.
The tea cup in front of Xu Yue had been filled again. He took a sip and said slowly: "You already have a guess, why bother asking more."
The old monk opened his eyes, slightly dazed, and said slowly: "North of the North Sea, west of the Western Desert, south of the Nanling Mountains, east of the Eastern Territory, Tianzhou is in the middle, and above it is outside the Territory."
The old monk read a few words, his expression became serious for the first time, and he said to himself: "Yes, except for these places, there is no such scene anywhere."
Xu Yue nodded, recalling the dangerous places he had traveled through, and cold sweat broke out on his back.
The most dangerous moment in his life was naturally a hundred years ago when Duan Mutian and others rebelled.
But really speaking, what made Xu Yue feel the most horrified, what he didn't want to experience again after experiencing it once, was the experience of setting foot in these dangerous places.
"Donor, have you been there before?" The old monk interrupted Xu Yue's memories.
Xu Yue thought for a while, nodded and said, "Well, I went in once."
"this……"
The old monk opened his mouth, feeling a little dry, and asked: "May I ask the donor, where are you going? What's inside? Is there still a way?"
Xu Yue waved his hand and said impatiently: "It's useless to ask me. I didn't go to the deepest point and managed to get out. And about this, there should be records within each fairyland giant, right?"
Xu Yue glanced at the old monk and said, "Perhaps, your abbot of Xianghuo Temple knows more than me."
