After thinking carefully for a moment, Xu Yinglian became more and more uneasy.
It is difficult to think when accepting moral righteousness. Perhaps it is specially designed by the way of heaven - it itself is the embodiment of the rules of this world, so people will never be allowed to break the rules.
When your cultivation reaches a certain level, the catastrophe will come as scheduled. This is the rule;
To save the common people in the world, you must obtain moral righteousness. This is also a rule.
Monks have no way to avoid heavenly tribulations, and tribulation clouds will chase them wherever they go; saints also have no way to reject merit, and when they bear positive fruit, their spiritual consciousness will be impacted and they will be unable to stay awake.
Normally, that would be fine. However, now that Chen Guanshui's merit is so great that it is enough for him to ascend from the same place, then the meaning of Heaven's Law seems to be somewhat targeted:
If you do such a great deed, I must reward you and send you to the fairy world. You cannot refuse.
After realizing this, Xu Yinglian felt cold all over his body.
Is my senior brother already destined to leave this world?
Not caring about anything else, she quickly took the classics and rushed to Kunlun.
Arriving at Kunlun Tianzhu and rushing into Yuxu Palace, Xu Yinglian had already thought of his words. As soon as he entered the lecture room, he immediately said to Master Ziwei:
"Master, my disciple has been studying in the clan recently, and there is something he doesn't understand, so he came here to ask for advice."
This is a strange thing. You must know that Master Ziwei has always been lazy. He even leaves the answer to his disciples to the chief disciple. Who dares to ask him questions easily? What's more, it has nothing to do with cultivation, just "encountered while studying"
If you don’t understand anything, you shouldn’t even ask.
"What's the problem?" Seeing that Xu Yinglian was the successor, Headmaster Ziwei decided to be extra merciful.
Xu Yinglian presented the book and asked:
"I don't understand here."
Headmaster Ziwei read the description in the book, pondered for a moment, and asked:
"Qiongying, do you know that there are three special methods for transforming into an immortal?"
"I would like to hear the details." Xu Yinglian said that he had never heard of it.
"Taoism has 'killing three corpses'." Headmaster Ziwei raised three fingers, "Buddhism has 'empty silence', and human religion has 'sanctification'."
"You must know that by killing the three corpses, you can kill the seven emotions and six desires, and you can reach the level of an immortal. In Buddhism, emptiness is the practice of dead wood meditation, until both body and spirit are destroyed, leaving only a little bit of true spirit. By understanding the principle of emptiness, you can obtain the fruit of Arhat path."
"Both of these are essentially taking shortcuts, relying on giving up passion or body to reduce the difficulty of ascension."
"As for the 'sanctification' taught by human beings, the principle is similar: accumulate merit, collect vows, and finally achieve enlightenment through merit and become a saint, but at what cost?"
"Saint..." Xu Yinglian thought carefully for a long time and was horrified.
"The saint is selfless." Headmaster Ziwei sighed, "What is 'selfless'? It's more than just words."
"Thousands of the Holy Spirit's wishes, the merits bestowed by heaven, your personal consciousness, desires, and memories are not worth mentioning in front of them. It's like a glass of water poured into a vat of soy sauce, will it still be water?
"
"How could this be so?" Xu Yinglian couldn't calm down at all, "Then... what if there is no will power but only great merit?"
What kind of person is Master Ziwei? He immediately realized who she was talking about and frowned and asked:
"Chang Geng?"
"Well." Xu Yinglian asked in a deep voice, "What will happen if senior brother only obtains great merit?"
"That's easy to say." Headmaster Ziwei said solemnly, "Without the influence of will, the consciousness will not be eroded by pollution. If it is only washed away by a large amount of morality, it is estimated that it will lose its nature within a few days, but it can be done after all.
Recover."
So Xu Yinglian finally breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt some uncontrollable fear.
The reason for the relief is that at least the senior brother will not be "seized by the power of his will" and become a selfless "saint".
What is frightening is that Headmaster Ziwei has told her that for a period of time after receiving a large amount of merit, the monk's spiritual consciousness and soul will indeed be impacted, as recorded in the book, "being in a daze" and "not knowing one's own body".
Considering that the senior brother's merits were so great that he could ascend on the spot, and he was in an abnormal "washed-out" state of mind at the time, could he still choose to give up his ascension?
Just like the person who gets on the bus can choose to jump out of the bus, but what should he do if he is carried into the bus unconscious?
Xu Yinglian became more and more anxious, and could only suppress the expression on his face, and continued to ask:
"Master, is there any way that can...I mean, allow a person to gain great merit and still stay awake at the same time?"
Although she looked calm, Headmaster Ziwei was as familiar with this apprentice as he was with Qiu Changtian. She knew it in her heart and asked leisurely:
"To gain great merit, you have to fly up where you are. Do you want to pull it down?"
Xu Yinglian felt as if he had been struck by thunder, and his expression could not calm down for a long time.
Seeing that she was completely stunned, Headmaster Ziwei couldn't help but chuckle and said:
"In the past, Chang Geng was my disciple, and one day he suddenly asked me if there was any way to quickly enter the marrow washing stage."
"Qiongying, how do you think my teacher answered him?"
"Disciple doesn't know." Xu Yinglian lowered his head and said in a daze.
"My teacher asked him at that time: Did you make an appointment with someone to fight? If not, why rush for success?" Headmaster Ziwei said leisurely, "Then I gave him the Purity Pill to help him advance."
He finally sighed and said:
"My disciple was in trouble, but he didn't tell the master. It was the master's dereliction of duty. Now that you are asking for help, the master has no reason to hide his secrets."
"If you want to prevent him from ascending, it's quite simple: when his morality becomes righteous and he emerges from the same spot, there will be a vision of three flowers gathering at the top of his head."
"If you break the three flowers on his head, he will temporarily stop his rise. Then you will seriously injure him and use the power of ascension in his body to heal his injuries. This ascension will end without any problem."
"As for his injuries and cultivation, he has also recovered. At that time... it has nothing to do with being a teacher. You can solve it yourself."
Xu Yinglian finally calmed down, thanked him and said:
"Thank you Master for your help."
"Yes." Headmaster Ziwei nodded, "I won't ask you the reason now, but after you bring Chang Geng back, I will wait to hear from you and your wife, and explain everything about the future."
After saying that, he waved the Qibao whisk to indicate that Xu Yinglian could leave.
Xu Yinglian was so excited that she quickly left Yuxu Palace and immediately raised her sword into the sky.
Compared with the original "forcibly contending with the way of heaven", now we just have to injure the senior brother when he ascends, and the difficulty has not been reduced by a bit - although it is still very difficult.囶
The senior brother is a first-grade Immortal Infant. The moment he becomes an Immortal, he has half a foot stepping into the threshold of the Chaos Great Luo Golden Immortal. In addition, he has merit and virtue to protect his body. How difficult is it to forcibly injure him?
Xu Yinglian quickly made up his mind and quickly returned to the Xu family in Tiannan to find Elder Xu for advice.
Regarding her senior brother's "three-in-one" identity, she was still not sure whether to tell the sect. After all, Kunlun also had its own attitude and stance. If she knew that "there was no huge and secret organization" behind Qiu Changtian, would it really matter?
Will they send people to seize the Sky-Mending Stone? Xu Yinglian is not sure.
But Elder Xu is more focused on the Xu family, and the Xu family in Tiannan cannot have the idea of mending the sky stone (after all, Kunlun is behind it). Besides, the Xu family's uncle has made great merits by mending the sky, and then left it in the world.
It is undoubtedly the result of maximizing the interests of the clan, so Elder Xu can be trusted in this regard.
When he explained the situation in detail to Elder Xu, the other party was also dumbfounded. He asked Xu Yinglian several times to confirm the authenticity.
I am called "the ancestor" by my clan. After living for so many years, what kind of strange things have I not seen? But this thing is really unheard of!
"It's really unbelievable that there is one person who plays the role of the triangle..." She repeatedly said in surprise, with an unbelievable look on her face.
"In short, all the great merits of mending the sky now will be concentrated on senior brother!" Xu Yinglian said urgently, "According to what the master said, he has to be forcibly injured to prevent him from ascending."
"But is your husband really willing to stay?" Elder Xu asked with a wry smile, "If you can't keep him, even if you prevent him from ascending this time, what will you do next time? You can't let him go.
Lock him up."
"If we can't stop him from ascending this time, then let's forget about what happens next." Xu Yinglian said seriously, "As long as he can be kept, Yinglian will naturally have a way to let her husband protect and take care of the family like before!"
Although this is writing a bad check, the amount of the check is really astonishing. You must know that Qiu Changtian is originally a first-grade immortal infant and a guardian of the moral righteousness. After becoming an immortal, the Chaos Daluo Golden Immortal basically did not escape.
Cutting off a Chaos Daluo Jinxian on his way to ascension... Except for Xu Yinglian, a real lady, who would dare to do this? Wait until he comes to his senses and destroy the Xu family without backhand!
But Elder Xu knows better that this child Ying Lian is not the kind of person who talks nonsense. Since she said "there is a way", it means that the relationship between the two has been deep enough to make Qiu Changtian regain his sense and be willing to do it for her.
And give up ascension and stay in the world.
In this case, even if you lose everything, you still have to put your chips on the line! 囶
Elder Xu quickly thought about Zhou Ding and asked:
"How do you need your family to help you?"
Xu Yinglian asked sternly:
"How can my family help me?"
The two of them were having a secret conversation in the inner room of the library, just when Shi Liuli asked Immortal Wanxiang for help.
A few days later, Tiannan Xu Family and Penglai Yuqing Temple began to gather elite forces. For a while, there was some internal turmoil, and they didn't know why.
But in the underwater cave and in the bedroom, Chen Guanshui tried to get up several times, but An Zhisu held his arms around his neck and pulled him back into the quilt.
Playing games with Sister An is both emotionally driven and rationally based.
Reason lies in the last step of mending the sky, which requires An Zhisu to activate the True Sword of the Sun and use the supreme heat of the true fire of the sun to melt the stone to mend the sky, so her mind must be settled first.
As for the relationship, there is no need to say much. There was pure love between the two, and now it is even more natural - if Senior Sister An had not reached this point, wouldn't it be depressing to look at the progress of Junior Sister Xu and Lady Liuli?
Chen Guanshui asked himself that his love for his senior sister was no less than that of his junior sister, so he would not favor one over another in this regard.
The only drawback is that Senior Sister An is too enthusiastic. Although she is not as skilled as Mrs. Jiang, she has endless physical strength when playing games and is good at staying up late. She tortured Chen Guanshui quite a bit.
Originally, he had basically made up his mind not to ascend after mending the sky, but to stay in this world and spend more time with his ladies.
Just being bullied by Senior Sister An, and thinking that I have more than one wife, I suddenly felt a little hesitant.
