Chapter 273 Finale (Part 2)
After recovering his memories of his previous life, Qi Gu naturally remembered what those black lines that he often saw entangled around evil spirits were.
That is the cause and effect line. Everything in the world has cause and effect. For example, if someone drives under the influence of alcohol, this is the cause, which causes another person to be hit and killed, which is the result.
The cycle of cause and effect in the world is naturally not that simple, but it all follows this principle. Thousands of years ago, Qi Gu was in purgatory in the underworld, suffering from burning and chopping every day, but he was still worried about where the frightened corpses came from.
How to solve it.
He had heard that there was a strange book in the underworld called the Book of Life and Death, which recorded all the good and evil deeds done during birth, aging, sickness and death. It was used to inform the judge where the person should go in the next reincarnation, as a human or an animal.
He thought that perhaps the book of life and death would record the incident of the corpse being startled.
With a goal in mind, all that remains is to persuade the officials to cooperate.
But the ghost official naturally could not commit dereliction of duty under the nose of Heaven, so he could only pretend to drink with Qi Gu, and then "accidentally" got drunk, and the Book of Life and Death happened to be left aside.
Qi Gu picked up the book with a black cover and started to read it. At first, he didn't know how to read it. All he saw was a large area of blank white pages inside, like a blank book that had never been written on.
Qi Gu flipped through the book again and again but could not find the right way. By chance, he thought that the blank book reminded him of the fine rice paper the emperor had given him, which seemed to have not been finished yet, and he did not know whether it was burned with his belongings.
As his mind moved, golden ripples appeared on the book, slowly turning into a simple text summarizing the emperor's life's merits and demerits.
So this is how it is used. After being distracted for a moment, Qi Gu silently pondered the names of those who had died.
The light golden font on the Book of Life and Death dissipated in an instant, turning into a sticky black, pointing to a ghost named "Qiao Gui". Above that Qiao Gui, there was an unclear layer of cause and effect, surrounded by black air.
From then on, the underworld began to keep a close eye on Qiaogui.
Qi Gu's fingers accidentally fell on those black lines and he found that these cause and effect lines were extremely tough and could help people see the cause and effect of love and hate.
He asked the ghost official about these cause and effect lines, but the ghost official could not see these lines at all. He could only see the words of judgment floating above the lines.
Qi Gu thought that this might also be a kind of cause and effect.
After a thousand years in purgatory, Qi Gu worked day and night, and finally peeled off the cause and effect lines from the Book of Life and Death, and refined them into magical instruments of his own. As a result, he had a pair of eyes that could see cause and effect and break through the maze.
In the past, he didn't know what those black lines represented, so he never touched them and just watched from afar, but now -
In the pitch-black sky, Qi Gu's expression became stern, and he tried to pull up a thread of causality that was hanging down from the huge Shura Dharma image. With a thought, he poured spiritual power into it. The thread of causality that represented the evil deeds of Shura was instantly dyed golden by Qi Gu's spiritual power, and emitted a faint light in the darkness.
Qi Gu's almond-shaped eyes relaxed a little and looked at Lin Hanzhi: "Hanzhi, you delay His actions, and I will manipulate these cause and effect lines."
"Okay." Lin Hanzhi didn't even ask what the causal line was and how to use it. He trusted Qi Gu's words immensely, so he quickly manipulated the bone blade to continue to block the next wave of attacks.
If it were the bone blade from the past, it would probably not be able to hurt Shura Dharmakaya at all, but now with the blessing of Ning Xiao, the bone blade is enough to leave scars on Shura Dharmakaya.
In order to better attract Shura's attention, Lin Hanzhi stepped on the bone blades again and again to send himself high into the sky, level with Shura's line of sight. He was attacked and fell from the sky again and again, and was caught only when he was dangerously close to the ground.
Minor wounds soon covered his entire body, and one of his arms was hit by the Dharma Image when he was dodging an attack, and it fell limply, obviously broken.
But during this process, Lin Hanzhi did not make any sound, nor did he inform Qi Gu. He just gritted his teeth, crawled out of the ashes on the ground, and continued to step on the bone blade.
Qi Gu’s situation wasn’t easy either.
Not only did he need to pay attention to Shura's movements and dodge in time, he also had to consume a huge amount of spiritual energy to immerse himself in the cause and effect lines. Shura had done too many evil things in the past, and those cause and effect lines were densely packed and endless... Qi Gu's face became paler and paler, like a moon immersed in cold water. At the beginning, Qi Gu was still able to hold up a barrier to block the rubble and flying sand, but as his spiritual power became increasingly insufficient, he gave up on defense. As Shura moved, a piece of iron sheet that was lifted off a building flew up and brushed past his cheek, leaving a burning blood mark.
Qi Gu did not bother to wipe the blood, and immediately grabbed the next causal line. The huge consumption of spiritual power made him weak, his movements slow, and his concentration distracted. Therefore, the next time steel bars, concrete and stones were thrown at him, he did not realize something was wrong until they were in front of him. He had to take the blow with his back. A fishy and sweet taste surged in his throat, and cold sweat dripped down his forehead. With the support of a strong will, he dragged his legs and continued to move forward.
The blood on his cheeks was quickly stained with a thick layer of dust. Qi Gu kept grabbing the next causal thread. He only raised his eyes for a moment when he felt that Lin Hanzhi was attacked violently. After confirming that the other party was fine, he quickly focused his mind.
At the same time, all over China, all the sorcerers and ghost messengers were fighting exhaustedly without stopping for a moment. Even if they were so tired that they might never stand up again, they still stood stubbornly and firmly in front of the people who needed protection.
Since it has reached the end of its strength, the bow will be broken and the string will be cut.
The people in the safe zone held their breath, not daring to make a sound, as they watched the extremely thrilling battle on the huge screen.
Many times, they were just a little bit away... Qi Gu and Lin Hanzhi would never be able to get up again. Although they were clearly shaky, they were still fighting.
Finally, enduring the tremendous pain in his shoulders and back, he lit the last causal line. In an instant, the golden causal line shone brightly, and compared with the golden light emitted by the Shura Dharma image, the difference was almost that of a bright moon and a street lamp.
Shura Fashang couldn't see the cause and effect lines, but he intuitively felt that something was wrong, so he subconsciously raised his foot and stepped towards Qi Gu.
Lin Hanzhi swooped down with the bone blade and managed to pull Qi Gu into his arms, hugging him tightly, his heart almost stopping.
Qi Gu didn't hesitate at all. He gritted his teeth and tried to mobilize his spiritual power again, but his meridians were twitching in pain. Lin Hanzhi grabbed his wrist without hesitation and transferred all his remaining spiritual power to him.
Lin Hanzhi fell exhausted in the ruins. Qi Gu quickly mobilized the spiritual power belonging to Lin Hanzhi in his body. At that moment, the light on countless golden cause and effect lines burst out, like countless exploding golden fireworks, brilliant and unparalleled.
Those fireworks blossomed like beautiful flowers on the Shura Dharma Image. One causal line exploded into countless small causal lines, covering and entwining the Dharma Image, soon completely enveloping the Shura ghost, forming a golden cage.
Then it slowly shrank and squeezed, and finally, golden and blue spots of light suddenly exploded, as if countless dahlias were growing in the air.
The light that was plundered by the Asura returned to the world, and the city in ruins was brightened by day.
This is the peaceful world that countless people have been looking forward to for thousands of years.
