Chapter 31: Merit and Virtue Cause and Effect with Qi Fortune

  Liang family village on the first day of the twelfth lunar month, Liangshan performed a ritual to summon spirits at the Yang family ancestral hall, and the Yang family ghosts gathered together, finally condensing onto the Yang family memorial tablet.

  The benefits of this are that the ghosts will no longer have to suffer the pain of being killed repeatedly day and night, and secondly, the ghosts wandering around can't help but disturb the people of Liangjiazhuang. With the method of ghostly cultivation, future achievements as a ghost immortal can be expected.

  Liáng Shān gave her the name "Yáng èr Jiě", from then on Yáng èr Jiě became the household deity of Liángjiāzhuāng. All those who passed by Yáng jiā cí must go to burn incense and worship, every morning and evening there are special people responsible for offering sacrifices.

  For three years, Liangshan devoted himself to arduous practice, his cultivation making great strides. The Grand Heavenly Cycle was unimpeded and all the meridians in his body were open. Finally, one day, his primordial energy transformed into liquid, advancing him to the initial stage of the Foundation Building period.

  Not long after Liangshan's foundation was laid, the guardian deity of Liangjiazhuang, Yang Erjie, who had been worshipped for three years with incense and prayers, finally took on human form and officially ascended to the position of a god in the Yang family temple.

  However, what made Liangshan laugh and cry was that the first thing Yang Erjie did after taking office as the family god was to urge Liangshan to consummate his marriage with Chen Siniang.

  If Liangshan does not agree, the guardian deity will turn its face and become a destructive deity.

  Liáng Shān had no choice but to "obey", fortunately he succeeded in building the foundation and was not afraid of being exhausted.

  When the round house was built, Yang Erjie was still directing the battle on the side, making Liangshan very uncomfortable. "A spirit in every three-foot-high place" is indeed not deceiving. Fortunately, Yang Erjie just listened to the prelude and quickly returned to the ancestral hall.

  Liáng Shān later understood Yáng èr Jiě's intention.

  Yang Erjie meant that Liangshan should first have children with Chen Siniang, and the second son would definitely be his child with Zhu Qiong.

  Wishing Qingyun a boundless and auspicious journey. Her genes are unmatched, this child will surely bring great glory to the Yang family in the future.

  Liangshan promised first, had no choice but to agree, and was forced to implement this "family planning" policy.

  Entering the initial stage of foundation building, Liangshan's inner observation became increasingly clear. However, he saw that the five zang organs and the muscles' tendons were surrounded by black Qi, although his pulse was unobstructed, but there was no obvious swelling in the five zang organs, six fu organs, muscles, and bones.

  A month ago, Liangshan was seriously ill, vomiting and diarrhea, which made Liang Yangshi and Chen Siniang very nervous. They all wanted to find a doctor to take a look at Liangshan, but were stopped by him.

  If it were someone else, they would be so scared that they wouldn't dare to practice anymore. But Liangshan doesn't care and has instead quietly aligned with the principle of "to cultivate the Tao, one must first die".

  Liangshan learned quite a bit about the basics of cultivation from Lao Xin.

  Ordinary people enter the Tao, first look at their merits and virtues. Everyone has a book of merits and virtues.

  Ordinary people's actions often lead to a decrease in their merits, eventually exhausting them. After death, they either fall into the underworld or become hungry ghosts. If their merits rise to a certain level, they will naturally attract immortal connections, and Zhuo Qingyun is one such case.

  The Jiao Pai Fu Di wants to ascend again to the Zong Men Dong Tian cultivation, mainly looking at the cause and effect.

  This cause and effect is just the opposite. The accumulated karma is certain, either the boundary falls or it goes through a tribulation immediately.

  It's impossible for any sect to completely eliminate karma and achieve a state of complete detachment, not even the Heavenly Court can do it, there will always be some residual connections. Even if one reaches the Cave Heavens of the sect, further progress depends on luck.

  Merit, cause and effect, and aura are the three influencing variables for a person to transcend the ordinary and enter the sacred. It can be said that they accompany cultivation from start to finish. Generally speaking, in the early stages of cultivation, one looks at merit, in the middle stage, one looks at cause and effect, and in the later stage, one looks at aura, roughly so.

  The mundane world is the place where cultivators can accumulate the most merit.

  Simply put, the merits of helping an old lady cross the road in the mundane world are roughly equivalent to the merits of building roads and bridges in a blessed land.

  The secular world and the sacred coexist because disciples of various sects and schools often come out to earn merit points. However, the secular world is also where it is easiest to incur karma. For example, some cultivation sects strictly forbid their cultivators from falling in love with ordinary people, because the karma incurred would be a hundred or a thousand times greater than that formed within the sect itself.

  Understanding this point, Liangshan understood the Cowherd and the Weaving Maiden.

  Their ending was originally a tragedy, but thanks to the efforts of the people in the world, they were able to meet once a year on the Magpie Bridge, which can also be considered a happy ending.

  However, because of this, the cultivators of the Orthodox Sect who enter the mortal world are extremely rare in killing in the secular world, and even the gods are rarely displayed, because doing so may be short-term pleasure, but long-term accumulation of karma will inevitably suffer from disaster.

  Therefore, the mysterious and subtle causal relationships between heaven and earth are precisely the lubricants that maintain stability and peace among all realms. It can be said that merit, causality, and destiny form a complex relationship of mutual promotion and mutual restraint.

  To put it simply, ordinary people fear merits and virtues. If they have no merits and virtues, they will fall into hell after death; Immortals fear cause and effect. If they can't jump out of cause and effect, they can't jump out of the cycle of rebirth; Those who have jumped out of cause and effect most fear their vital energy running out. If their vital energy is exhausted, even heavenly beings will appear to decline in five ways.

  If Zhu Liyun still has a lingering attachment to the Liangshan, then the emotional connection and karma with others will be multiplied by hundreds or thousands. In any school of thought, when one reaches a certain stage in their practice, they must encounter bottlenecks, even demonic obstacles.

  Through the old and new experiences, Liangshan also initially understood the principle of "the strong are respected" in the sect. Liangshan can only quickly enter the door, surpass the holy and look at Zhu Qingyun, in order to eliminate the bondage of cause and effect on Zhu Qingyun.

  Zhu Liyun said that after three years, he would send someone to bring him in, but three years have passed and there is still no sign of it. Liangshan's heart can't help but feel a little anxious.

  For a month now, Liang Shan's body has been weak and feeble. He simply announced that he would be in seclusion, having Liang Liang send some food to the door morning and night.

  Chen Si Niang used to be a bit sticky, but after being indoctrinated with the scientific knowledge of Liangshan system, she devoted herself to the study of Ge Wu knowledge, and her spiritual appearance is no less than that of female doctors in later generations.

  Liang Shan felt at ease, even if he was away from Liangjiazhuang for a long time, Chen Si Niang could handle everything.

  Liáng Shān closed his door to condense the black air in his body.

  Practicing the "Bai Gu Jing" starts from a dying body, so the scripture has already anticipated this.

  A month later, Liangshan only needs to move his mind, and the black air in his body quickly condenses into a black bead. When he flicks it out with his finger, anyone who is hit will become stiff and paralyzed. If they cannot dissolve it in time, their body will rot and be invaded by the black air. This is called the Black Stiffening Technique.

  This is another big killer of Liangshan after Yinyin phosphorus technique.

  Yin phosphorus technique harms people's yin, while the black stiffening technique harms people's yang energy. Both are used together and are considered a trump card for Liangshan, not to be used until a critical moment.

  The Dongzhi Festival worship activities ended, that night, Liangshan sat under the big tree at the head of the village, at midnight, suddenly his heart moved, and when he looked up, a meteor-like light flashed across the night sky. Before Liangshan could react, there was an extra jade pendant in his hand.

  The Holy Sword Temple's Jade Pendant!

  The front is the logo of Shengjian Hall, a fairy mountain shrouded in mist, with three rays of light carved on the top of the mountain, like a dragon and phoenix dancing together, making one's heart palpitate at a glance. The back is a map, shining with a faint fluorescent light, indicating his destination - a city 200 kilometers north of Nanjing, Nanyang.
