The so-called "Code of Reincarnation" records the rules of reincarnation between heaven and earth and does not contain any deeper principles.
However, because the things it involves are very strange and beyond the reach of ordinary people, when you first read it, you will feel a kind of shock that makes your heart and soul fall away.
Pan Hexun's gaze was fixed on it, unable to be taken away.
All living beings in the world are divided into sentient and non-sentient ones.
Flowers, plants and trees have no feelings and emotions, no spirits and souls, and are therefore heartless beings; humans, ghosts, animals and animals have feelings and emotions, spirits and souls, and are therefore sentient beings.
Sentient beings belong to six realms.
Because they are sentient beings, they must have performed good deeds. After death, they will enter the six realms of suffering according to the amount of their good deeds, in order to eliminate the karma they accumulated in their lifetime.
Therefore, there are "Eighteen Levels of Hell" in the Extreme Realm, which are divided into "Six Paths", each with three levels.
Among the six realms, the human realm and the animal realm (i.e. the beast realm) have real forms, while the heavenly realm, the Asura realm, the hungry ghost realm, and the hell realm are intangible.
If sentient beings have merits, they will be reborn in the heaven, human or Asura realms. If their karma is heavier, they will be reborn in the animal, hungry ghost or hell realms. They will wash away their past in the reincarnation pond, start over, and experience another life.
After one life, the merits and sins will be counted, and the six realms of reincarnation will be calculated...
This cycle repeats itself endlessly.
If there is an extremely evil person in the world, the cold, heat, loneliness and torture of hell cannot eliminate his karma, and he may even become more and more evil. Then his soul should be placed under the blade of the great wilderness and chopped into pieces.
These millions of broken souls will all fall into the reincarnation pond and be reborn as the "wet creatures" in the animal realm.
His spirit is shattered and his temperament is gone.
As a result, their karma will dissipate, and even if they have the intention to commit great evil, their body will be transformed into millions and they will not be able to cause harm.
In short: all sentient beings are equal, and all suffer in the cycle of reincarnation!
This is the general outline of the code!
Twelve big characters, very ancient.
Every stroke carries a powerful force, as if a sharp-edged stone was carved out on the cliff.
The traces of time are engraved on the stone wall, and vaguely, there is a majestic aura that looks down on the sky flying out from the strokes!
Original and vigorous.
The strength holds up the sky, the power dominates the earth.
But, after all, time passes.
Over thousands of years, this kind of solemn momentum has been weakened a lot. Only the remaining ones can give people a glimpse of the majestic power of the person who wrote the calligraphy on the stone wall.
Fu Chaosheng was also watching.
But his gaze had not moved for a long, long time, and only stayed on these four words: "All sentient beings are equal, and all suffer in the cycle of reincarnation."
A natural hostility and disgust was already surging through his body, and he couldn't control it!
He was born with the combined efforts of all the mayfly clan, and because of Jianchou's words, he got the opportunity to "hear the truth."
From then on, he called himself "Chao Sheng".
But the mayflies in the 19 continents were born in the morning and died in the morning from then on.
Those that are born in the morning and die in the evening, mayflies, always live near water and are classified as "wet-born".
According to this code, it is the "millions of broken souls" of the greatest evildoers in heaven and earth that are reborn as mayflies, suffering the pain of being born in the morning and dying in the evening, so that their karma can be dissipated in heaven and earth!
How ridiculous
How ridiculous
If he had not borrowed the flounder's Universe Eyes to glimpse the fleeting glimpses of the ancient universe, he would probably have believed that the mayfly clan had original sin, which was the result of the fragments of karma and soul.
Who could have imagined, among all the living beings in this world today, that before the end of ancient times, there was no “mayfly” race!
If the law of reincarnation exists since the beginning of time, why do mayflies suffer the most
In the animal world, except for mayflies, there is no other group that is born in the morning and dies in the evening!
However, the universe is limited to the end and limit of his eyes, and his strength rises and falls due to life and death every day, so he has never been able to get a clearer picture of the ins and outs. He came here to find an answer.
But I didn’t expect that these twelve words would be hung there so openly, on the first level of the six paths and eighteen levels of hell!
Reincarnation is to wash away one's life and turn it into a blank sheet of paper.
Equality means all sentient beings. All existences in the six realms cannot escape the suffering of reincarnation.
Can…
Is that really the case
If all sentient beings go through the cycle of reincarnation and are washed away like a blank sheet of paper, then where did Lekong, the good man who accumulated merits and took the lead in cultivation for three lifetimes in the Xihai Zen Sect, come from
Where did the reincarnated holy son of the Snowy Zen Buddhism, Jiye, who retained the power of Buddha and knew the principles of heaven and earth, come from
If the laws of heaven and earth really allow all living beings to be equal, then after the war between the Yin and Yang worlds, except for the two Buddhist sects and the isolated islands on earth, why did the monks of the Nineteen Continents not enter the cycle of reincarnation and disappear in one lifetime? !
Reincarnation
A lie!
equality
Nonsense!
What is contained in the code is the ultimate truth of heaven and earth, which should be applicable to all realms. But the chaos surrounding this world today is contrary to the code in every way!
If this code had not long been in name only, then this vast universe is inherently unfair and unequal!
The fingers hidden in the sleeves slowly clenched.
Fu Chaosheng's emotions, which had rarely fluctuated since he was born, suddenly began to fluctuate violently.
A faint smile appeared on the lips, but deep in the eyes and deep in the body, there were countless evil spirits, growing madly!
However, he still stood there motionless, as if he had merged into the world.
Pan Hexun didn't notice anything unusual about him.
He was already fascinated by what he saw, marveling at the beauty of this law, and his gaze became more and more fanatical, as if he had discovered something extremely useful to him, or as if he had finally confirmed something.
After looking for a long time, he spoke unconsciously.
"In fact, if inanimate beings, due to fate, are transformed from nothingness into spirits, or if animals and other animals develop human nature, they become "exceptions" outside the original nature of heaven and earth, and are therefore called "demons."
"'Demons' are created from nothingness, and therefore belong to the 'realm of hell'."
"However, it is rumored that the first 'human' in the world was also created from nothingness."
"The six paths of reincarnation, the four lives, the exchange of yin and yang, all come from this nothingness."
“In terms of color and form, we are born from the same root as all things; in terms of spirit and soul, we come from the same source as heaven and earth.”
"Same roots, same origin, but with thousands of forms. Even the same soul, after going through the six realms of reincarnation, can also take thousands of forms. It can be a human, a bird, a tiger, a wolf, or even a sandworm or mayfly... How wonderful is that?"
Pan Hexun's voice gradually became intoxicated, with a tone of chanting, as if there were thousands of emotions hidden in his heart, ready to be expressed.
“All sentient beings are in the cycle of suffering.”
“Only those who can break through the seven emotions and six desires, attain the Tao and ascend to heaven, and comprehend any one of the rules of heaven and earth and use it for their own benefit, can escape from the cycle of reincarnation and become a transcendent saint, free from emotions and desires, and no longer suffer.”
"I heard that this is the 'immortal'."
Having said that, his face was already full of longing, and there was a kind of madness in his eyes, like a madman who was obsessed with something, yet rational and sober.
"I don't know. Since ancient times, so many monks have ascended to the upper realms. Has anyone ever understood the secret of the transformation and composition of the soul..."
The souls of all people in the world are born from nothingness.
As the saying goes, "The origin of all things and I, the soul of heaven and earth share the same root." If someone can see through the wonders of the soul of heaven and earth, and make thousands of changes on it, wouldn't he be another "Pangu"
Traveling across the universe and reproducing for generations is not a difficult task!
With his eyes flickering slightly, Pan Hexun finally looked at the male cultivator in the navy blue robe in front of him. Seeing that he did not move for a long time, he became curious.
"Pan is a dull person, and I only have this superficial understanding. Brother Li Han has been looking at this for a long time, and it seems that you have many insights?"
Fu Chaosheng finally moved, but just slowly withdrew his gaze.
As if he didn't hear a word Pan Hexun said, he turned around and walked in the direction he had his back to. There was actually a demonic aura under his pair of deep blue eyes, but he still looked calm and not at all disturbed.
"Brother Li Han!"
When Pan Hexun saw this, he immediately frowned, as if he had never expected that he would be so disrespectful.
The expression on his face suddenly darkened, and he said in a slightly cold voice: "Now that Brother Li Han is alone, I happen to think that Brother Li Han is someone I can make close friends with. Wouldn't it be perfect for us to go together and find the entrance to the next level? What do you think?"
His thin lips curled up in a faint sneer.
Fu Chaosheng didn't even stop for a moment, nor did he show any fear, nor any friendliness or recognition. He looked at Pan Hexun as if he were an ant crawling at his feet.
This person is ridiculous from head to toe with his clumsy and poor scheming.
"Are you worthy enough to walk with me..."
The voice is clear, but it seems to have traces of old moss.
Fu Chaosheng didn't even turn around to look at him. After saying this, he walked away.
Pan Hexun's face suddenly changed, his body tensed up, and he almost took action!
But when he blinked again, the arrogant Li Han was already thousands of feet away!
What a terrifying "shape-shifting" method!
At that moment, Pan Hexun froze.
In the end, he didn't chase after him and fight with Li Han. He only had endless doubts in his heart: Li Han from the Wrongful Death City was so powerful? In his opinion, even Zhong Lanling...
It seems that they are just one step away.
But how is that possible
Pan Hexun, standing in place, fell into deep thought for a moment.
Fu Chaosheng had already gone far away and didn't care about Pan Hexun at all, even though he was the most popular "big shot" in Fengdu City recently and a popular candidate for the championship of this year's Ding competition.
But what does that have to do with him
He is just a drop in the ocean, a mayfly in the universe.
I am lonely by nature and it is against my destiny.
Although there are numerous people in the world, only less than one in ten thousand are capable of walking with you.
At this moment, he was not in a good mood.
I really want to talk to someone.
But who can listen to him talk about his endless doubts about the world and his infinite contempt for the rules
Is it the salted fish Kun that has been pretending to be dead for a long time, or the "old friend" whose whereabouts are now unknown
Fu Chaosheng didn't know either.
He put his hands behind his back and walked forward step by step. He looked around and it was as if he saw the person he was looking for through the endless mountains. So he turned around and went to look for him.
There was still no sound in the Ice Prison.
It's just cold here.
In fact, if you count on your fingers, it has only been a short time since Jianchou and the others came down. At first, you didn’t feel anything unusual, but after a while, you actually felt shivering.
"Sister Jianchou, are you okay?"
While flying, Gu Ling, who was wearing colorful feather clothes, looked back and saw Jianchou's pale face due to excessive cold. She couldn't help but ask worriedly.
Jianchou's gaze was still fixed ahead.
There is a huge canyon there, with high icebergs on both sides, which make the area in the middle very low, as if it was dug out.
Yes, this is it!
"I'm fine." Jianchou retracted his gaze and looked back at Gu Ling. "This is the Ice Prison in the Eighteen Layers of Hell. It will only get colder. If an ordinary cultivator comes here, I'm afraid his cultivation will be depleted quickly..."
So, does the fight for the Eighteen Hells, which seems to have no rules, also have restrictions
Such as the dangerous Eighteen Levels of Hell itself.
"You're turning pale."
Gu Ling was a little cautious, but she couldn't hide the concern in her voice.
She had heard of Jianchou's name for a long time, but had never seen her until Ding Zheng. Now that she was walking with her, she felt that this female cultivator who had a bad reputation outside was actually easier to get along with than most female cultivators in Jiyu.
Good temper and very patient.
Even when facing someone like her who is easily flustered, he never gets angry.
Apart from her mother-in-law, she has never met such a good person.
After thinking about it, Gu Ling bit her lips, then stretched out her hand, and a deep red flame suddenly appeared on the back of her hand.
She clenched her palms.
Jianchou was still thinking about the map in his mind—
In the old house in the City of the Dead that hides secrets, there is a complete set of eighteen levels of hell, and the entrance to each next level is clearly recorded.
But over time, the terrain has changed, so it is not so easy to identify.
But having a general direction is better than searching around like a headless fly.
After all, as long as they reached the entrance, even if they just sat there and waited, they should be able to see a lot of people, and if they moved quickly they could meet up with Zhang Tang and the others.
Jianchou was watching so intently that she didn't notice much when Gu Ling stretched out her hand.
She was frightened when the flames appeared and the heat wave came over her.
The terrifying high temperature almost immediately spread out in all directions with Gu Ling as the center!
"you… "
She was surprised and couldn't help but speak, not knowing what Gu Ling was going to do.
But soon, Gu Ling stuck out her tongue at her, feeling a little embarrassed, and controlled the flame on the back of her hand to extinguish, then spread out her clenched palms: "Look, this is the warm ice I just made, you won't feel cold if you hold it."
"… "
Jianchou was stunned.
On Gu Ling's fair little palm lay a piece of warm ice that looked like red crystal.
It seemed like she had taken some ice and snow from below and injected it with heat...
But, ice and fire can coexist, which is...
As if she had seen through Jianchou's doubts, Gu Ling became embarrassed: "I... my Dharmakaya's true form is quite special... so..."
Among the ten major ghost clans, those who have a little talent in cultivation can see their "true form of Dharma body", such as Li Han's "Acalanatha".
The true nature of the Dharmakaya is like a picture engraved on their souls, which is a gift.
You can cultivate whatever the true nature of the Dharmakaya is.
However, Jianchou had never practiced the skills of any of the ten major ghost tribes, so naturally he had never seen such a thing as the "true form of the Dharma body".
When Gu Ling mentioned it, she remembered it and became curious: "Special?"
He took the "warm ice" from her hand, and immediately a wave of heat flowed through Jianchou's body, instantly driving away all the coldness. It was truly magical.
"Anyway, my Dharma body is ugly, different from others..." Gu Ling's eyes flashed with sadness, she lowered her head, and complained with a pout, "Others' worst ones are larks or thrushes, but mine is a pitch-black crow... a fire crow, with three legs."
Three-legged...
Fire crow
Jianchou's eyes suddenly became surprised, and there was a hint of doubt in them.
Gu Ling looked up and saw her expression. She thought she had never heard of it either. She touched her head, ruffled a few strands of her smooth hair, and smiled shyly: "Sister Jianchou, you haven't seen or heard of it, right? Although it is a little ugly, it is very fiery. My mother-in-law advised me..."
Halfway through the words, his voice suddenly froze.
Gu Ling blinked and then lowered her eyelids, obviously thinking of the white-haired old woman whose whereabouts were still unknown.
Jianchou naturally saw it, but she didn't shy away from it at all. She smiled warmly and walked towards the canyon in front of her, asking, "Have you known that mother-in-law for a long time? I heard that she was recommended to Dingzheng by His Royal Highness, the City King Jiang Qian."
"Yes."
Gu Ling nodded and said, "When my mother-in-law first came to Jiyu, she was bullied by others. I couldn't stand it, so I went to help. I didn't expect that my mother-in-law would be favored by His Highness Jiang Qian, and her cultivation improved. She is now a bit stronger than me."
"Originally, my mother-in-law didn't want to come to Ding Zheng. His Highness Jiang Qian never let her subordinates come here to die. It's all because of me..."
"My mother-in-law didn't want me to come in alone, fearing that I would be in danger, so she forced His Highness Jiang Chen to come in..."
The voice became lower and lower, and the mood naturally became lower.
Gu Ling couldn't help but look around: "I wonder where my mother-in-law is now... Well, there seems to be someone in front!"
She was only halfway through her sentence when her gaze fixed on the bottom of the canyon ahead, which was extremely bright.
That was the canyon that Jianchou had seen before, and it was also the canyon that they were going to pass through or must pass through.
The hideous icebergs towered on both sides, like yaksha hungry ghosts holding three-pronged forks, spying on the canyon below. The peaks tilted diagonally towards the canyon, leaving deep shadows in the canyon.
The sunken ground was covered with traces of snow and ice, and there was no way to tell what was underneath.
At this moment, there was a group of people standing in the shadow of the canyon, gathered together, and talking about something.
Jianchou had to move a little closer before he could see him from afar.
The five senses of ghost cultivators are extremely sensitive, not to mention that Jianchou has a formation on him at the moment, so his perception of the surroundings has already been raised to the extreme.
The moment she saw those figures, she knew clearly who they were!
It turned out to be Zhang Tang and his gang, but...
However, Li Han was not there, but there were others.
Gu Ling spotted the old woman with silver hair that looked like ice and snow from the crowd. She waved her arms excitedly and shouted, "Grandma, Grandma!"
While shouting, she rushed forward.
Jianchou frowned subconsciously and wanted to stop it.
But when he looked again, he found that she had gone far away. Then he remembered that it was Zhang Tang and others in front of him, so he did not stop her. He just became a little alert and chased after her with his sword.
"Mother-in-law!"
"Xiao Ling!"
When Gu Ling ran over, the old woman also saw her and hurried out to greet her. The two of them immediately began to chat and ask about each other's well-being.
Jianchou fell a few steps behind before he came down. He said nothing and just wanted to look at the few people standing in the shadow of the canyon.
Everyone's faces turned a little blue due to the irresistible cold.
Zhang Tang stood with his hands in his pockets, his back straight, and looked up at her calmly.
But the first person who came out noisily was Chen Tingyan.
"Finally we've found you. We were so anxious! Are you okay? Where's that Xing Fei? Is he dead?"
He asked repeatedly, as if he wanted to check Jianchou's arms and legs.
Before, Jianchou was still wondering when he could meet them. Now that he had met them, he naturally breathed a sigh of relief.
After hearing what Chen Tingyan said, she felt a little helpless and replied, "It's okay for now. I didn't meet Xing Fei, but I met Xing An. However, because Zhong Lanling and another female cultivator were there at that time, we didn't fight. I ran fast and met Gu Ling halfway. I was going to look for you, but fortunately I met you now."
only…
Jianchou's gaze moved away from Chen Tingyan's face and looked at the person who was standing on the far right and had not spoken.
The silver-grey robe seemed to blend in easily with the ice and snow, but it was also darker and had a bit of a rebellious feel.
There was a hint of a smile on his face, but in reality there was no emotion in his eyes.
His facial features are all handsome, and his eyes sparkle with a shrewd light. When he looks at people, he seems aloof and seems to look down on others.
Are you born with a sense of arrogance
This was the only description that came to Jianchou's mind.
She frowned slightly and recognized this person: Pan Hexun, the last person on the list, from Fengdu City, the Palace of the Chakravartin.
While she was looking at Pan Hexun, Pan Hexun was also looking at her. When he actually saw her pitifully small soul bead, he couldn't help but frown, and then a hint of contempt flashed across his face.
However, on the surface, he actually bowed to Jianchou and said, "Fellow Daoist Jianchou, don't be surprised. I am Pan Hexun. It was just a coincidence that I ended up in the same place as you guys, so I am shamelessly going the same way as you."
Coming together by chance
Can the cultivators from Fengdu City all end up together with those from Wrongful Death City
Jianchou was a little skeptical at first, but the next moment, he remembered his unlucky self and Xing An, as well as the mysterious female cultivator and Zhong Lanling who appeared on the top of the mountain at that time, and his doubts were dispelled.
Chen Tingyan was dissatisfied with being ignored. She was originally happy to welcome Chou back, but it turned out that she fell in love with Pan Hexun!
I feel unhappy.
Chen Tingyan glanced at Pan Hexun and felt displeased with this man.
After they were teleported here, they didn't expect to meet anyone from Fengdu City, let alone Pan Hexun, so they almost got into a fight.
But after all, it was still early and they were numerous and powerful, so Pan Hexun took the initiative to stop the fighting and asked to join them.
Logically speaking, Chen Tingyan likes this kind of strong support the most.
But this Pan Hexun's behavior was really ugly. There were so many people in their team, but the other party seemed to only recognize Zhang Tang and ignored everyone else.
Now seeing him talking to Jianchou, Chen Tingyan naturally felt unhappy.
Even though he is not someone related to Jianchou, he doesn't want Jianchou to pay attention to him.
With a sneer in his heart, he dragged Jianchou and walked towards Zhang Tang, saying, "Master Pan is right. He has been with us all the way and has been relatively honest so far. He has not attacked anyone. Now that Jianchou is back, we are only missing Li Han. Did you run into him on the way?"
