Chapter 1,775  Black and White Impermanence

In the West Shuzhou, the space fluctuated.

The holy monk Kasyapa, who was sitting quietly under the Bodhi tree, moved his eyebrows, his expression tensed, and then calmed down.

The next moment, Xiao Mian appeared directly under the Bodhi tree.

A round of Buddha light rose and condensed from the back of the head of the holy monk Kasyapa, and emitted a dazzling light wheel.

In the golden wheel of Buddha light, the holy monk Kasyapa suddenly opened his eyes.

"Xiao Mian! How dare you deceive me!?"

"Holy monk! Why do you say that?"

"Humph! You suppressed Hu Sheng in the Antarctic Sea, which was originally a private matter between you two masters and disciples. Now you pretend to be me and confuse him. Aren't you dragging me into cause and effect?"

In just a moment, the holy monk Kasyapa knew everything.

Xiao Mian saw it and didn't care.

The round of Buddha light behind the holy monk Kasyapa's head is one of the six fundamental magical powers of Buddhism - fate!

Fate can know the past karma of sentient beings and know the reasons for the retribution in the present or future.

In the incident where Xiao Mian pretended to be the holy monk Kasyapa to deceive Hu Sheng, three people were involved: Xiao Mian, Hu Sheng and the holy monk Kasyapa!

For this reason, the holy monk Kasyapa was able to know it in one thought.

Just as the holy monk Kasyapa said, he was dragged into the master-disciple dispute between Xiao Mian and Hu Sheng by Xiao Mian.

But in Xiao Mian's view, Buddhism is to blame!

The Fighting Buddha who was tainted with Hu Sheng's soul was originally from Buddhism, so how could Buddhism stay out of it?

Besides, although Hu Sheng was Xiao Mian's founding disciple, he was also half a Buddhist practitioner.

As long as Hu Sheng could be saved, Xiao Mian would do anything!

Seeing that Xiao Mian was indifferent to his questioning, the holy monk Kasyapa's face changed slightly, and he suppressed his anger.

First, the holy monk Kasyapa was entangled in Hu Sheng's affairs and had been tainted by cause and effect.

Otherwise, Hu Sheng would not trust Xiao Mian so much when he saw the holy monk Kasyapa pretending to be Xiao Mian.

Second, Xiao Mian's strength overwhelmed the holy monk Kasyapa.

Several times before, Xiao Mian came to Shishahai, either waiting at the gate of the small temple, or being greeted by the holy monk Jiaye in advance, but he never appeared directly under the Bodhi tree.

This Bodhi tree garden is a holy place of Buddhism!

The outer periphery of the Bodhi tree garden is shrouded in a huge Buddha light barrier, which even the powerful Tianzun cannot easily break through.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Mian actually came in directly!

What shocked the holy monk Jiaye even more was that Xiao Mian came silently-he had no sense of it beforehand!

Xiao Mian was the focus of the holy monk Jiaye's attention, and his every move was watched by everyone.

There is only one possibility to avoid the sense of the holy monk Jiaye and appear directly in front of the holy monk Jiaye.

Xiao Mian has jumped out of the world!

In other words, the causal power in Xiao Mian's body has been almost destroyed, and he is detached from the world.

Although the holy monk Jiaye is proficient in fate, fate is not about predicting, but the inevitable result obtained after a large amount of data statistics and calculations.

If Xiao Mian has successfully withdrawn from this world, there is no more information about Xiao Mian in the world, or the amount of information is very small, and the holy monk Kasyapa cannot draw an accurate conclusion.

Thinking of this, the holy monk Kasyapa corrected his attitude.

The Buddha said: The person in front of you is extraordinary!

"Huh..., what is the purpose of Mr. Xiao's visit?"

"First, I am here to apologize! Although I have tried my best to deal with Hu Sheng, I still cannot do everything. I have to use the name of the holy monk, which has caused the holy monk to be contaminated with cause and effect."

"Hmph! Let's forget about this matter!"

"Second, it is still about Hu Sheng! If nothing unexpected happens, I will ascend to heaven after 60 years! Although I have planted seeds in Hu Sheng, it takes time for the seeds to germinate."

"What do you want me to do?"

"If it succeeds, everything will be fine. If it fails, don't mention it!" Staring at the holy monk Kasyapa sitting under the Bodhi tree, Xiao Mianyan said: "If Hu Sheng really can't survive this death, I want you to replace him and become one of my six pillars!"

"I should have told you: my time..."

"I know! If you replace Hu Sheng, the success rate of the plan will be reduced by half. But half is better than nothing!"

"..."

The holy monk Kasyapa was silent.

"Your great Buddha! Although I haven't seen him in person, I think he must be a great man. He should also hope that my plan will succeed, right? Otherwise, although the spirit world is known as the overlord of the six paths, the Taoist sect is the only one that dominates, which is boring after all!"

"You!"

"I am more sure than anyone else that I will go to the spirit world after all! Some things must be done by someone!"

"As far as I know, the spirit world does not welcome you!"

"There are many people who do not welcome me! There are even more people who want me dead! Am I not still alive and well?"

"On the contrary, those who want you dead have been sent back to their hometowns one by one by you!" When saying this, the holy monk Kasyapa looked at a face that did not know whether to laugh or cry. Shaking his head, the holy monk Kasyapa said: "Okay! I will also agree to your second thing!"

"Third, the Netherworld!"

"How?"

"I wonder how long it will take for the holy monk to enter Nirvana next time?"

"..., three hundred years!"

"How long will it take for Nirvana?"

"According to convention, it is a thousand years!"

"No!" He rejected it flatly, and Xiao Mian continued: "A thousand years is too long! There are too many variables! And according to my calculations, my plan is likely to be launched after a thousand years. By then, you have just entered Nirvana, just like the powerless little monk on the way to the west. You need someone to protect you. How can you help me save the world?"

"This... but this is the Buddha and the Lord of Hell..."

Halfway through his words, the holy monk Kasyapa kept silent.

This is a serious matter, so be cautious.

The reason why the holy monks Kasyapa and Ananda can continue to achieve Nirvana and reincarnate in their past lives is because of an agreement.

The Buddha and the Lord of the Underworld have an agreement in advance: the Buddhist sect sent Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to stay in the underworld to help the underworld to transcend those wronged souls. Correspondingly, the Lord of the Underworld turned a blind eye to some things of the Buddhist sect in the underworld.

Among them, the matter of Nirvana!

Xiao Mian clearly heard it, but it seemed that he didn't hear it.

Even before the holy monk Kasyapa said it, Xiao Mian had guessed it...

The laws of the world are only used to imprison ordinary people. For some special people, the law has no binding force.

This is also true in the world of cultivation!

Even in the high and mighty fairy world, the so-called heavenly rules are used to punish ordinary immortals.

The existence of the level of the Buddha in the spiritual world and the Lord of the Underworld can completely ignore these golden rules.

The maker of the law is always the beneficiary of the law.

Many times, it is the lawmakers who are breaking the laws they have personally designated...

"Donor Xiao! The matter of Nirvana involves the netherworld, and it is not something that I, the Buddhist sect, can decide."

"Let me ask you: how long does it take to prepare for Nirvana?"

"This... at least three hundred years!"

"Okay!" Nodding, Xiao Mian said to himself: "After three hundred years, you will be in Nirvana as scheduled; after another three hundred years, you will be reborn in Nirvana successfully; after another three hundred years, you will definitely be able to restore your peak combat power, or you can help me."

"This..., I have no problem! The problem is..."

"If the holy monk has no problem, then there is no problem!" Interrupting the words of the holy monk Kasyapa, Xiao Mian said in an unfathomable way: "Leave the remaining problems to me to deal with!"

After saying this, he left.

Under the Bodhi tree, only the holy monk Kasyapa was left.

At this time, the holy monk Kasyapa had a gloomy face.

I had just hinted that the matter of Nirvana was not only about the Buddhist sect, but also involved the netherworld.

This kid is so responsible, could he have a connection with the Netherworld?

Xiao Mian naturally doesn't have such a connection, but someone does!

After leaving the Ten Seas, Xiao Mian went straight into the Netherworld.

In the Netherworld, since the Ghost Mother died and the Ghost Saint was reincarnated, the four holy ladies have temporarily exercised power.

Bai Gu Ji died in the Great Heavenly Tribulation, and Hei Sha Ji died in the Hunyuan Dao Sect, leaving only Zhu Yan Ji and Bi Hun Ji.

When the Buddhist sect recovered Xishuzhou last time, Gui Hai and Zhu Yan Ji unexpectedly got married.

The two lived in seclusion in Wolf Howl Valley, not caring about worldly affairs.

Of the four holy ladies, only Bi Hun Ji held the power, but she was a bit alone.

Fortunately, there are other masters in the Netherworld.

Hei Fu A Xin was ordered to take charge of the overall situation.

After that, the Buddhist sect recovered Xishuzhou, and the Ghost Dao retreated to the Netherworld, and the two sides did not interfere with each other.

On weekdays, Bi Hun Ji takes charge of all matters in the Netherworld, while Ah Xin has been in seclusion in the Ghost God Temple.

This time, Xiao Mian went deep into the Netherworld, and even Bi Hun Ji was not alarmed, and he appeared directly in the Ghost God Temple.

Ah Xin, who was in seclusion, suddenly opened his eyes.

Standing up, Ah Xin bowed.

"Ah Xin welcomes Master!"

"Ah Xin, no need to be polite!" With a wave of his hand, Xiao Mian sent out a ghost-killing finger to attack Ah Xin. Ah Xin looked stern, condensed a ghost sword in his hand, and slashed out with a sword in the void.

The sword passed invisible, and the wind was full.

Thousands of ghosts rushed out of the ghost sword, gathered around Xiao Mian's ghost-killing finger, and kept devouring it.

Under deliberate testing, the power of the ghost-killing finger was fully unleashed.

Although there were thousands of ghosts blocking it, the progress of the ghost-killing finger was not affected at all, and it continued to attack Ah Xin.

The ghost-killing finger was originally aimed at the ghost!

Although the ghost sword is strong, the ghost shadows are numerous, and the ghost energy is heavy, they cannot stop the unstoppable advance of the Ghost-Slaying Finger.

Ah Xin's pupils shrank slightly, and he stretched out his hand and retracted it.

After a little while, the ghost sword was retracted, and the ghost shadows retreated.

As he retracted, the Ghost-Slaying Finger went straight to Ah Xin's face.

With a sudden shout, Ah Xin opened his mouth and sucked, and then swallowed the power of the Ghost-Slaying Finger into his stomach.

With a shake of his body, Ah Xin returned to normal.

Seeing this, Xiao Mian nodded slightly.

"That's right! Although your Netherworld Ghost Body is called a ghost body, you are still a living person. This Ghost-Slaying Finger of my master is specifically aimed at ghosts, but you easily broke it."

"Master tests his disciples, and he knows how to act!"

"Alas! Among all the disciples under my master's seat, you are the only one who makes me worry the least!"

When saying this, Xiao Mian thought of Hu Sheng again.

"Master, you are too kind! Putting aside the change in the temperament of the eldest brother, the two from Donghai and Beiwei..."

"The man from Donghai is unruly and unyielding. He only respects me as his adoptive father but does not obey me. It's still okay when I am here, but if I am not here one day, he will be a big change!"

"Master, don't worry! If we fight alone, Ah Xin knows that he is not the opponent of the man from Donghai, but after all, there is the man from Beiwei. With the strength of the two of us, even if the man from Donghai wants to make trouble, it will not be that easy!"

"Ah Xin is right! But don't forget: the man from Beiwei is not a pushover!"

"This... Master, are you worrying too much?"

This time, Ah Xin's face really changed.

"I know the origin of that man very well. I am afraid that only I can restrain him. If he does not want to change, it is a blessing for the world. If he wants to change..."

Halfway through his words, Xiao Mian kept silent.

Ah Xin's expression changed several times, and he did not dare to speak either.

After a long while, Xiao Mian changed the topic...

"Ah Xin! Have those two from the Netherworld come to see you over the years?"

"Yes! Almost once a year, without fail!"

"Really? It seems that the so-called 'full attendance award' is very attractive to them! In addition to asking you for souls, did they say anything else? For example - you!"

"This..."

Axin was silent for a long time after hearing this.

"Axin! I have three things that I need you to plan for me!"

"Master wants to borrow the power of the underworld?"

"Yes!"

"Master, can you tell me what it is?"

"Of course! The first thing is about the peace of this world - about Luohou's only sister!"

Luohou's sister is Luosha.

This time, when he turned to Huoyunling, Xiao Mian also secretly searched for Luosha's whereabouts, but was told that Luosha was dead.

After Luosha and Wen Tianxiu became husband and wife, they guarded Huoyunling and ventured into Nanyuezhou.

But due to their limited lifespan, the couple both died.

After hearing this news, Xiao Mian had no time to feel emotional, and he had an ominous premonition.

Luosha is the person Luohou cares about the most!

Apart from Xiao Mian, Luosha is the only fuse that is entangled with Luohou.

Now that Luosha is dead, where will Luohou go?

In the future, when Xiao Mian ascends, will Luohou become a god or a demon?

If Luohou does not change, with Luohou and Ah Xin working together, it is enough to suppress the Dark Dragon Emperor Xiao Nanxie.

If these three brothers are of one mind, even if the tiger is born, it is enough to protect the world.

Therefore, Xiao Mian must make a move on Luohou.

"I want Luosha to reincarnate into this world!"

"Just like that?"

"As long as Luosha is reincarnated into this world, Luohou will fight to the death to protect this world! Vice versa!"

If there is no more Luosha in this world, what is the difference between this world and a cage for Luohou?

"If that's all, it won't be a big problem!"

"The second thing is about the situation in the spirit world!"

As soon as Ah Xin agreed to the first thing, Xiao Mian threw out the second thing - a bigger thing!

Xiao Mian's second thing is about the holy monk Kasyapa!

Three hundred years later, the holy monk Kasyapa will die as expected.

According to the agreement between the Buddha of the spirit world and the Lord of the Underworld, after a thousand years, the holy monk Kasyapa will be reborn in Nirvana.

During this thousand-year Nirvana, another Buddhist monk Ananda will take charge of Xishuzhou and command Buddhism.

However, now that the holy monk Ananda has been personally recalled by the Buddha, the situation of the two saints reincarnating in Xishuzhou has been broken.

If the holy monk Kasyapa really returns after a thousand years, it is not certain whether there will still be Buddhism in Xishuzhou at that time.

What's more, Xiao Mian's plan does not allow this!

"I want you to find a way to advance the time of Kasyapa's reincarnation by 700 years, so that he can be reborn as soon as possible!"

"This..."

"Due to the change of Hu Sheng, the plan has been shaken. Although I have laid a backup plan for Hu Sheng, I have to use Kasyapa as a substitute-although this is just in case!"

"This matter is serious! It concerns Kasyapa, not Rakshasa. It not only involves the underworld, but also the spiritual world of Buddhism. I am afraid that the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced are powerless!"

"So, we need to find someone higher up!"

"Master wants me..."

"No! I just want you to thread the needle and summon the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced, and the subsequent matters will be followed up by the master himself."

"How does the master know that I can contact the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced?"

"They both need your help and are very secretive about your origins. How can they not work hard on you?"

"Master is so smart, and Ah Xin is ashamed of himself!"

After bowing with a sincere heart, Ah Xin turned to ask about Xiao Mian's third matter, which caused Xiao Mian to sigh.

"My teacher's path of cultivation has been stained with endless blood, and I am also scarred. But I will never forget: the first blood!"

"The first blood?"

"That was the blood of my parents!"

With a sigh, Xiao Mian recounted the old story.

Axin was expressionless and shocked when he heard it.

People only think that Xiao Mian of Nanyue is insidious and cunning, but who would have thought that Xiao Mian also had such a tragic past?

The third thing Xiao Mian asked Axin to do was a private matter, which was to find the whereabouts of his parents.

If possible, Xiao Mian still had to do his part.

After hearing Xiao Mian's third thing, Axin breathed a sigh of relief. The third thing Xiao Mian mentioned was the simplest.

It was just to find the whereabouts of the two mortals. As long as they had reincarnated in the netherworld, they would definitely leave clues in the Book of Life and Death. Just follow the clues.

Nodding slightly to Xiao Mian, Axin took a deep breath.

The next moment, a chill rose from the Ghost God Temple, which was already raging with gloomy winds, freezing the heart.

The Three Pure Ones' divine light swayed slightly, but Xiao Mian was unmoved.

Two dim lights broke out of the ground.

The dim light condensed, one manifested as a bull head, and the other manifested as a horse face, which was the unlucky pair of that year!

However, the bull head and horse face at this time were no longer the gray cloth and hemp clothes before. They looked the same, but dressed differently.

The bull head, dressed in black, wore a black hat, and there were four white words on the hat - Peace in the World!

The horse face, dressed in white, wore a white hat, and there were four black words on the hat - Make Money at First Sight!

To be honest, these two can be regarded as a blessing in disguise.

Because they met Ah Xin, they would collect a batch of lonely ghosts from Ah Xin every year.

Lonely ghosts are evil things for ordinary people, resources for ghost monks, and performance and bonuses for the ghost messengers of the underworld like the bull head and horse face!

With the help of these lonely ghosts, the Ox-Head and Horse-Face will no longer have to worry about not having enough souls to complete their tasks.

Not only can he complete the tasks every month and receive the highest attendance bonus, but he is also promoted smoothly to become Black and White Impermanence because he is the industry model every year.

Black and White Impermanence has a higher rank than Ox-Head and Horse-Face, and in the netherworld, it is better than the best.

Although his status is different from the past, Black and White Impermanence behaved more respectfully than before when he saw Ah Xin.

This is not only the God of Wealth, but also the God of Fortune!

Moreover, after all these years of indirect inquiries, Black and White Impermanence is more certain: Ah Xin is related to the Lord of Hell!

Privately, Black and White Impermanence has long been certain: Ah Xin is the illegitimate son of the high Lord of Hell!

If they can curry favor with the illegitimate son of the Lord of Hell, what will the two brothers be afraid of in the underworld in the future?

Maybe, they who are illiterate can even get a job as a civil and military judge!

Seeing that the Ox-Head and Horse-Face have transformed into Black and White Impermanence, Xiao Mian is more confident in his plan.

Seeing that the Black and White Impermanence only bowed to Ah Xin, but acted as if no one was around, Xiao Mian snorted coldly.

It's easy to see the King of Hell, but it's hard to deal with the little ghosts.

If I can't make these two little ghosts unforgettable today, my business will not be safe after all.

It's just because the Netherworld is a very special existence. The Netherworld is independent of the three realms of immortals, demons, and spirits, but it is closely related to the three realms and corresponds to the entire world of the living.

Once the Black and White Impermanence in front of him escape back to the Netherworld, let alone Xiao Mian, even the six overlords of the spirit world may not be able to easily find the whereabouts of these two ghosts.

Therefore, Xiao Mian must complete the task in one battle!
