The God and Buddha are actually me

After listening to Tongji's story, Zhang Jiuyang couldn't help but think of the last words said by the remnant soul of the Prajna monk after teaching him magical powers.

He said eight words.

I dare to ask Buddha, how can you live forever?

At that time, Zhang Jiuyang could hear the sorrow and anger in his voice. As a Buddhist disciple, he seemed to be questioning the Buddha. Moreover, being so obsessed with immortality was somewhat contrary to Buddhist teachings.

After all, in the eyes of Buddhists, the physical body is just a shell, and becoming a Buddha is the ultimate destination.

Now after learning about the experience of Prajna Monk, he had a deep understanding of those eight words and understood the weight of them.

Don't seek to have both sides, but seek to live up to your authority.

No wonder he still wears a red bean bracelet on his wrist even after becoming a remnant soul.

"No, Prajna Monk has such great achievements and has accomplished many military exploits in Dajing. Why are there so few records about him?"

Yue Ling suddenly raised a question that hit the point.

Qin Tian Prison should be the place with the most complete information in the world, but even she has never heard of the name of Prajna Monk, which is very unusual.

Zhang Jiuyang nodded. Indeed, how could a strong man in the Seventh Realm who could suppress his contemporaries have no experience passed down?

Just like Zhuge Qixing, even though six hundred years have passed, people still remember him one after another, and there are Zhuge temples everywhere.

"Because the Prajna Monk has cut off his own karma."

Tongji sighed and said: "I have a secret skill in Baiyun Temple, which is called reverse effect as cause. Venerable Kelsang used it before. Now only the abbot in the temple has mastered this method."

The result is the cause!

Zhang Jiuyang's heart moved. The magical power just now was really amazing in the hands of Venerable Kelsang. It could affect the three of them at the same time, almost causing internal strife.

"There are two levels of the art of inverting cause and effect. The first level is chaotic cause and effect. Venerable Kelsang is in this state. He can disrupt invisible cause and effect. Even real people in the six realms will be affected."

"The second level is called cutting off cause and effect. It can cut off the cause and effect between man and heaven and earth, making people disappear from the memory of all living beings forever. Even words can't record it."

Hearing this description, even Yue Ling, who had always been brave and good at fighting, felt a chill in his heart.

Buddhism pays attention to cause and effect and believes that the reason why people exist in the world is because of invisible lines of cause and effect. If cause and effect does not exist, people will not exist.

If those invisible lines of cause and effect are cut off, then this person will disappear, not only physically, but also from everyone's memory.

Clean and thorough.

Even a couple who loves each other will completely forget about each other in the next moment. They will only see clues in the habits developed over decades, and feel as if they have forgotten something very important.

But I wanted to go there with all my heart, but I couldn't think about it at all.

This magical power is really incredible and makes people shudder.

Zhang Jiuyang felt vigilant in his heart. Baiyun Temple was indeed the ancestral home of Zen Buddhism for thousands of years. Its methods were strange and unpredictable. He must not take it lightly in future dealings with it.

"You mean that the Prajna Monk cut off his own karma, so his deeds were gradually lost and forgotten?"

Tongji nodded and said: "Yes, but the break is not complete. If he can cultivate to the sixth level, he can write it down. In addition, the manuscript he left behind, with the blessing of the immortal golden body, can also resist The erosion of that power.”

"But why would he do this?"

Zhang Jiuyang didn't understand. Wasn't the other party insisting on waiting for his wife to return from reincarnation?

Once the cause and effect is severed, won’t the connection with my wife also be severed?

"The manuscript says it's because of aging."

Zhang Jiuyang was stunned.

"Although the Prajna Monk has cultivated an immortal golden body, is not afraid of swords, guns, swords and halberds, and has thousands of magical powers, he can be said to be watertight, but he can't guard against one thing... time."

"The deceased is like this, day and night. Under the passage of time, even if the golden body is not damaged, the soul will gradually age and eventually pass away, leaving only an eternal empty shell."

"The Prajna Monk was already very old at that time. He had been waiting for more than two hundred years, but the person he was waiting for never came. Time had already made him forget the appearance of his wife."

"Finally, he turned his attention to the method of reverse cause and effect, because the person who created this technique once mentioned in the book that this technique should have a third level, which is also the most supreme level, called reverse causation. ”

"Reverse causation can reverse time and change some things that have already been done. That is the real cause of reverse causation. But unfortunately this is just a speculation and there is no way to practice it."

Zhang Jiuyang understood that this thing was just like the seventh level of the Great Shift of the Universe. It was all bragging by the people who created the technique. In fact, whoever practiced it was cheated.

If nothing else, Prajna Monk must have been tricked.

"The Prajna Monk wanted to reach the third level of cultivation, then reverse the consequences for the causes, go back in time, and return to the time when his wife was still alive to prevent all tragedies from happening. Unfortunately, although he is an unparalleled genius, he still failed."

"After cultivating walking fire and becoming a demon, most of his own karma was cut off, and he was gradually forgotten by all living beings. Even the monks in the temple often couldn't remember who he was."

"However, he is a great supernatural power user in the seventh realm, and he still managed to survive. Although he was forgotten, he was not angry. He was just an unknown old sweeping monk in the temple, day after day, year after year."

"Until one day, two young men came to visit the temple together. They were talented and talked eloquently, which attracted the attention of the Prajna monk."

Zhang Jiuyang had already guessed the identities of the two young men, but he was even more sad because of it.

The gears of fate are turning quietly. The strong man who once suppressed an era met the strongest man of the next era on an ordinary day.

"The two young men, one is called Yue Jingzhong, and the other is called... Zhuge Qixing."

"At that time, the world was still the Great Jing Dynasty, but it was already in its last years. The political situation was turbulent and chaotic, and the people were living in dire straits. The two young men had lofty ambitions and a heart to save the world and the people, which made the Prajna monk admire them very much."

"After a conversation, he passed on the military tactics he summarized in his early years to the young man named Yue, hoping that he could realize his dream of serving the country in the army on his behalf."

"As for Zhuge Qixing..."

Speaking of this, Tongji paused slightly and sighed: "Prajna monk still couldn't let go of his obsession with his wife. He found that although Zhuge Qixing was not very old, his high qualifications were a monster."

"He was proficient in everything about astronomy, geography, machinery and astrology, With such high wisdom and strong understanding, he was the most amazing person he had seen in hundreds of years, and even he felt inferior to him. "

"At that time, the Prajna monk realized that if this child had not died young, his future achievements would have far surpassed his own, so he came up with an idea to let Zhuge Qixing help him perfect the third level of the law of reversing the cause and effect."

"The third level that he could not deduce, Zhuge Qixing might be able to deduce in the future. When he deduced it, wouldn't it be better to teach it to himself?"

"So he violated the temple rules and taught Zhuge Qixing the law of reversing the cause and effect, and also lectured on the scriptures for seven consecutive days, sharing his insights with him."

Zhang Jiuyang showed a look of sudden realization. No wonder Zhuge Qixing dared to debate in Baiyun Temple. In addition to his extreme intelligence, this experience probably helped him a lot.

A Buddhist monk who has practiced for hundreds of years, his lifelong understanding of Buddhism is better than many great monks.

This is also Zhuge Qixing's fortune, which allows him to have the strengths of both Buddhism and Taoism, and possess an unbelievable strong foundation.

"But unfortunately, the Prajna monk did not wait for that day. Even with Zhuge's wisdom, he did not deduce the law of reversing the cause and effect to the third level. Not long after, his deadline came, and he had to close the death gate to seek a breakthrough, but failed."

Tongji sighed and said: "No wonder his body decayed so quickly after his death. It turned out that he encountered the Moruo ghost when he closed the death gate, and finally fed the demon with his body and turned into a Yin Moruo fruit."

"But the Prajna monk is worthy of being a genius. He can actually leave a trace of residual soul, which makes this immortal golden body reappear in the world hundreds of years later!"

"Did anyone come to see the Prajna monk during his closed death gate?"

Zhang Jiuyang suddenly asked. He is now very curious about how Tianzun got this Yin Moruo fruit.

Tongji thought about it seriously and said, "The contents of the manuscript end here, but it was mentioned before that Yue Junshen and Zhuge Guoshi often came to him for advice. The three of them talked for several days each time, covering everything from military tactics, magical powers, state affairs, and scriptures."

"If someone really came to see me, I think... it should be Yue Junshen and Zhuge Guoshi."

Zhang Jiuyang and Yue Ling looked at each other and said nothing.

Yue Ling's expression was very complicated, which meant that the speculation that Tianzun was Zhuge had more weight.

"Amitabha, I thank Mr. Zhang again and am willing to pass on the magical powers of the immortal golden body to Baiyun Temple..."

"Ahem, don't thank me in a hurry. I promised to return the inheritance, but I didn't say it was for the skills, but for people."

"To people?"

Zhang Jiuyang smiled faintly, waved his long sleeves, and the figure of Sanbao flew out and staggered to the ground.

When he saw the body of the deceased Gesang, his eyes trembled and showed a gloomy color.

No matter what, the two of them met, but unfortunately they were on different paths and could not make plans together.

"This is my sworn brother Sanbao. Since he calls me brother, it cannot be in vain. I have passed on the Immortal Golden Body to him. If you want to have this magical power in Baiyun Temple, treat him well."

Sanbao looked surprised and said, "No, Immortal Golden Body? Brother Zhang, didn't you tell me that this is called Iron Lump Gong?"

Tongji's face twitched when he heard it. What the hell, Iron Lump Gong?

It's a pity that he could think of calling the Immortal Golden Body so vulgar!

"Little monk, let me see you practice your skills."

Sanbao didn't know who Tongji was. He looked at Zhang Jiuyang and saw him nod. Then he took a horse stance and practiced his skills. With a whoosh, a trace of bronze luster flowed on his skin.

Tongji nodded with satisfaction and said, "Little monk, this is not called the Iron Kungfu, but the Immortal Golden Body. It was created by a seventh-level divine monk in my Baiyun Temple. It is the first horizontal practice of Buddhism. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the magic skill of the sect."

Sanbao blinked, and then his pure pupils grew larger at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Zhen... Zhenjiao magic skill?

The first horizontal practice?

He looked at Zhang Jiuyang, his eyes slightly red, and he didn't know what to say for a while, and he was very moved.

Brother Zhang actually passed on such a precious magical power to him, but they had never met each other...

"Sanbao, this is Tongji, the divine monk of Baiyun Temple, the head of the Demon Subduing Academy. He has promised to let you enter Baiyun Temple. Why don't you thank him quickly."

Upon hearing this, Sanbao bowed to Zhang Jiuyang first, and then bowed to Tongji.

"Disciple Sanbao, meet the master."

"I may not be able to be your master. You are the master of the lost secrets of Baiyun Temple for hundreds of years. You have a very important position. How to arrange you, I am afraid it will be decided by the abbot."

After a pause, Tongji smiled and said, "I see that you are talented and have extraordinary roots. Maybe the abbot will make an exception and accept you as a disciple."

Sanbao's eyes lit up and asked, "Is it Master Tonghui?"

Tongji nodded.

"That's great. I have the honor to read Master Tonghui's "Miaopin Lotus Sutra". There are still many places in it that I don't understand. I just want to ask him for advice!"

Tongji looked at Sanbao with surprise in his eyes.

As a sixth-level cultivator, it was not difficult for him to see that this little monk was really interested in Buddhist scriptures, not magical powers.

It was rare.

He asked a few questions casually, and then was surprised to find that the other party's answers were not only well-founded, but also had a lot of his own insights, which were quite inspiring.

"Good, good!"

Tongji praised him twice as if he had seen a rough jade, and exclaimed: "I'm afraid that the abbot will really be tempted this time."

Zhang Jiuyang hurriedly said: "Brother Tongji, I'll leave this matter to you. I, your little brother, have admired your abbot for a long time."

He smiled and patted Tongji's shoulder, looking very familiar.

Master Tonghui, the abbot of Baiyun Temple, is at the peak of the sixth realm. He is known as the great sage Zen master. His strength is unfathomable. It is said that he has practiced silent Zen and has not spoken for 32 years.

But the monks in the temple have not diminished their respect for him at all, and Baiyun Temple is thriving.

The most important thing is that this abbot has not accepted any disciples yet. If Sanbao becomes his successor, he may even be able to take over the abbot's mantle and hold the reins of Buddhism in the future.

Tongji was a little helpless about Zhang Jiuyang's familiarity. He just wanted to kill him, but now he can pat his shoulder and call you a brother. This Zhang Jiuyang is really hard to see through.
