"The way of heaven is eternal, and all things are based on cause and effect."

Shan Yuan stood on the top of Piaomiao Peak, flicking the whisk with one hand and stroking his white beard with the other.

"Mo Qing, if the way of heaven is the Supreme Being, why do all things begin and end with cause and effect? ​​Why does cultivating the Tao also have cause and effect?"

The girl in white next to him lowered her head to look at the question on her waist, and said in a clear voice: "The disciples believe that although the way of heaven can control the destiny of all things, it is difficult to block the connection between them. All things have feelings, and everything in the world is caused by feelings. Because emotions produce cause and effect, cultivating the Tao can clarify the nature of the mind, but it cannot eliminate cause and effect, so we need to pay back cause and effect and suffer karma."

Shan Yuan nodded and smiled.

"That's a good answer. Therefore, the way of heaven is eternal. It only serves the movement of heaven and earth. Day and night are orderly. It does not ask about sentient beings, does not cross the sea of ​​suffering, and does not show mercy."

The flowing clouds gathered and dispersed under my feet, and the clouds and mist were misty.

"Master, I don't understand."

Mu Qing has a trace of doubt,

"Since all things are caused by emotion, why should fate be left to the master of heaven?"

"Because the Dao is ruthless, you can be righteous. Always remember that you are cultivating the human way, and your ruthless way is not the ruthless way of heaven."

"But what I have in my hand is the sword of heaven."

Shan Yuan raised his hand and touched her head.

"So, it's called Wenqing."

Mu Qing gradually realized in her heart.

"My disciple is full of love and compassion for all things, and is the most divine. However, we must remember that the way we humans cultivate is the way of humanity, not the way of heaven."

Didn't the master just remind her in a roundabout way that the way of heaven cannot be fully trusted?

Mu Qing nodded under Shan Yuan's gaze.

Shan Yuan sighed and said, "My master is going to Tanggu (note: the place where the sun rises) in the near future to continue a period of karma for you, so as to avoid your fate of death."

Mu Qing showed a cute smile: "Master, leave early and come back early."

Shan Yuan made a secret call to summon his sword, which cut through the flowing clouds like a rainbow.

Mu Qing looked at the flowing cloud that Shan Yuan left, and did not take seriously what the master said just now about the continuation of cause and effect. She was a taskmaster and an outsider. How could the master change her fate.

But she forgot at the time that everything she just said has a cause and effect, and she had already entered the game and became one of the causes and effects.

[Flashback-the hanging sea two hundred years ago]

"Although the Eastern Emperor has passed away, we, the sharks, must not abolish the rituals. We will still remember a trace of divine kindness for thousands of years! The sacrifice begins!"

"Wait! Why is there black mist wrapped around the statue?"

The statue of Donghuang Taiyi at the top cracked, the black mist dispersed, and a slender figure in black robes walked out. His smile gradually became evil, and he grabbed the shark priest, and gradually tightened his fingers.

"My believers, you have worked hard for thousands of years."

With force in his hands, there was a "click" and he threw the priest's body to the ground. Blood spattered on the mirror-like floor tiles, and the sharks scattered screaming.

In the midst of this riot, someone rushed into the hall. Her eyes were like water, and her gentle voice was now reaching every shark's ears like a calm voice.

"I will sacrifice my three souls and blood bodies to the Eastern Emperor Temple!"

Blue ripples rose one after another, and the surrounding area of ​​the hall was suddenly sealed. The man in black robe looked at the people rushing in with interest.

"You think, just by yourself..."

"I will sacrifice my three souls and blood bodies to the Eastern Emperor Temple!"

"And I!"

"Blood sacrifice to Donghuang!"

The singing of the Sharks caught my ears. This was the singing they used to pray and worship for the Eastern Emperor.

The blood-stained hall sealed them and their blackened gods at the bottom of the upside-down sea.

"what--

The day is auspicious and the weather is good,

General Mu is happy to come to the emperor;

Holding the long sword and the jade ear,

The sound is loud and clear.

Yao Xi Xi Jade,

The general will bring beautiful beauty..."

[Flashback-a fishing village in the East China Sea twenty years ago]

A young man in tattered clothes and a shabby figure held his wife, who had gradually transformed, in his arms. He walked one foot deep and one foot shallow in the dark, escaping from the fishing village where he could not get out.

The black mist spread behind them, and the villagers who were mad by the black mist and a group of evil cultivators pursued the couple.

Mu Zhongbing hid his wife in a rock crevice. When he was about to go out, the transformed shark caught him.

"Husband, no."

Lightning flashed across the sky, and his face was dark and unclear.

"When he is born, let's still admire him."

He stroked her hair with nostalgia, and then the sword rose from the ground, dragging a ray of light that exposed its position in the dark night.

"over there!"

"Chase!"

The sound of fighting is getting farther and farther away.

Mu Chongbing could no longer tell whether the blood or sweat covering his forehead was blood or sweat. He only knew to keep fighting so that his wife could be safe.

When he was exhausted, a voice came into his ears.

"Brother, I'm late."

"You shouldn't have come." His voice was dry and hoarse.

The person helped him up, his hands were warm and his voice was firm.

"If you can exchange me for someone who can save the world, why not be afraid of dying!"

"I have pity on you, the hundreds of people in the Yu family!"

"Everyone in my clan has understood the cause and effect and voluntarily signed the life and death contract... It's just that I am still a child. Please take care of my eldest brother."

Mu Zhongbing was silent for a moment and agreed solemnly.

"it is good."

Family leader Yu looked at the dark shadows in front of him and recited the forbidden technique.

The gate to the ghost world appeared behind and slowly opened.

In an instant, the surroundings were filled with gloomy air. A white-faced scholar and a black-faced judge came out and frowned at the head of the Yu family, "In the ghost world, I have never had anything to do with living people."

"This is a supreme merit. If the ghost world is willing to help, the consequences will be borne by the Yu family alone!"

The white-faced scholar and the black-faced judge received the promise and looked at each other and nodded.

The gate of hell opened wide, and hundreds of ghosts came out crying.
