Chapter 1098 Karma and Merit
After waiting for more than half an hour, Han Er just hurried back from a distance and said to Luo Fan: "Master, let me find out clearly. It's really miserable. Those eight villages are still a vast ocean with tens of thousands of people." Human corpses have been found downstream, but the number of those who have not been found is said to be even greater. The flooded fertile land now seems to be not just 10,000 acres, but more than 100,000 acres."
When Luo Fan heard this, he couldn't help but frown.
He had heard about the river diversion a few days ago. He originally thought that it must have been dealt with long ago, but why is it still like this now?
It may be extremely difficult for ordinary people to redirect the diverted river, but for monks at the fifth and sixth levels of the mortal realm, this is a quite simple matter, and it only takes a few days. You can do it through practice. But that's it, no one has taken care of it yet, which is really unreasonable.
"That's it. I think I have always regarded the Shengdou people as ants, and they are not even willing to spend a few days practicing for them." Luo Fan sighed, stood up, and left the fortune teller under the attentive service of the "blind man" stall.
"Okay, let me see the merits on this continent. It's different from what I imagined." Luo Fan thought, and took Han Er out of the city.
"Master, that blind fortune teller is a liar." On the way, Han Er endured it for a long time and finally couldn't help but say.
"Even you know it, young master, how can I not know it?!" Luo Fan slapped Han Er's big leg and scolded.
"Oh, it turns out that the young master knows. Haha..." Han Er looked like he suddenly realized it, and he giggled.
"Now that the young master knows it, why are you still hanging out with such a liar? If the master sees it, he might not be happy."
"A liar? That's not necessarily the case." Luo Fan didn't explain much and laughed.
On the surface, the "blind man" who told the fortune seemed to be just an ordinary charlatan, but Luo Fan could tell at a glance that he was an expert.
A person who is at least at the peak level in this continent. His Taoist realm has reached the end of the Immortal Way, and his spiritual realm has reached the Golden Immortal Realm.
With this kind of existence, if he wanted to show off his power, let alone this city, even the world controlled by the Qian family with a radius of thousands of miles would be destroyed in an instant.
Such a being, calling him a charlatan? That can really be called blind.
It was precisely because the blind fortune teller had such a background that Luo Fan was interested in talking to him more and teasing him. If not, even if Luo Fan doesn't discriminate against him, he won't care too much.
Han Er didn't know this. He scratched the back of his head when he saw Luo Fan looking so mature, and finally gave up thinking about this behavior that was not suitable for him.
"Anyway, I have already reminded you that if the young master said this and the master blamed me, it has nothing to do with me." Han Er thought with a smile.
The speed of the two of them was extremely fast. Although the river that was diverted outside the city was some distance away from the city, under the strength of their feet, it had been crossed in just half an hour. Soon, Luo Fan and Han Er arrived at a mountain peak next to the diverted river.
Below the mountain peak, there is a vast ocean.
Here, a few days ago, it was a plain, with large tracts of fertile farmland, large tracts of wasteland waiting to be reclaimed, and several villages that could almost be called towns.
But now, there is nothing left, only a vast ocean. The calm water reflects the reflection of the surrounding mountains, and the scenery is quite pleasant. Only the occasional corpses of animals or people floating by completely ruined this pleasant scenery, giving those who saw it a chill.
Luo Fan stood on the mountain peak and looked at the source of this vast ocean.
Dozens of miles away, a piece of high ground that originally blocked the river suddenly collapsed due to some unknown force, causing the river to change its course and flow directly into the plain, causing such a horrific disaster.
"Building a dike should be able to redirect the diverted river. However, even if it is redirected, it will only allow the cultivated land to return. The people who died and the villages that were flooded will still lose. "Luo Fan sighed.
The vast ocean turned not far downstream and turned back into the river. The whole process was as if God was displeased with the plain and deliberately made the river turn around to completely submerge the plain.
"Let me see what merit is." Luo Fan sighed, stepped lightly, and disappeared in front of Han Er in an instant.
Han Er was taken aback and shouted a few times, "Young Master, Young Master", but the only response was his own, and he couldn't help but panic for a moment.
Of course, Luo Fan didn't care about Han Er. He was now startled and disappeared into the invisible. With a slight step, he had arrived at the entrance where the river changed its course. He was suspended in mid-air, looking down at the place. Rapid water at the entrance.
The Taoist realm of his soul clone is only the ninth level of the mortal realm. If he were an ordinary monk born on this continent, such a Taoist realm would indeed allow him to possess many incredible magical powers, but it would never Maybe he could do all the things in front of him without any fireworks.
However, he is obviously not an ordinary ninth-level monk in the mortal realm. His heart and realm have reached an incredible level. Although this state is not the state achieved by the cultivation method he is currently practicing, it is still high enough to allow him to do many things that cannot be done in the normal state of Taoism.
If we have to make a comparison, Luo Fan today, with this soul clone alone, is enough to crush the blind fortune teller. Even the elder of Taixuan Sect has no resistance to him. capable.
Luo Fan stood invisible in mid-air at this time. He carefully observed the terrain below, looking for the root cause of the collapse of this highland.
It's not simple. At least given Luo Fan's Taoist realm at this time, it was not simple.
After a while, Luo Fan finally saw the truth and couldn't help but frown.
The cause of the collapse of this highland was a change that occurred more than 43,000 miles underground. There, there was a strange beast curled up in it. This strange beast is not big. It looks like it is only ten feet tall. Around it, there are countless small cracks spreading out. It seems that this strange beast has done something unknown and broke through the surrounding bottom layer, thus creating such cracks.
This strange beast is a fish-shaped strange beast. At this time, it has no life breath at all, but it is too dead to die.
Around this world beast, there are faint strands of black mist surrounding it.
These black mist are very strange. They are not ordinary black mist, but seem to be the existence of a kind of soul power. In it, thousands of faces can be faintly seen struggling, roaring, and cursing. Just looking at this black mist will naturally give you the feeling that you are sinking and falling into the abyss.
When Luo Fan saw this, he knew that this was a kind of karma!
In other words, it is the karma on this continent that is the opposite of the complete merits.
"That's actually the case." Luo Fan thought slightly and raised his hand to make a slight move. In an instant, there was a strange force that directly passed through tens of thousands of miles of the bottom, directly came to the location of the fish-shaped beast, and directly grabbed a trace of black mist.
After being caught by this force, the black mist shook slightly, as if it was struggling crazily, and it seemed impossible to escape from the fish-shaped beast.
Luo Fan frowned slightly.
The moment his power came into contact with that karma, he felt countless curses, countless curses, countless lamentations, and countless hatred suddenly pouring directly into his mind and thoughts through that power. Those curses, those anger The curses, those wails, those hatreds were overwhelming, trying hard to corrode his mind and thoughts, trying to pull his mind and thoughts directly into them, turning them into one of the countless curses, wails, curses, and sounds of hatred. one.
"What a terrifying karma." Luo Fan suddenly broke away with his outstanding state, and his mind and thoughts suddenly became as harmonious as a golden elixir. He remained unwavering despite the erosion of countless wails, curses, curses and hatred. He would no longer be affected by that. Not the slightest influence of karma.
Only people like Luo Fan who have reached an unimaginable level can do this.
For ordinary creatures on this continent, karma is the most powerful poison. Even just a glance can cause them to suffer huge damage. If the power comes into contact with karma, it will be equivalent to Suicide will never be able to escape its erosion, and it will be completely assimilated by the karma. Although it is not that the soul is flying away, it is not much better than the soul is flying away. From then on, it becomes an existence that is neither human nor ghost.
Of course, there are some exceptions. For example, if the person who comes into contact with this karma has great merit, then the merit of his existence can offset the karma, thereby freeing himself from the harm of karma. But it is absolutely impossible to break away from the influence and erosion of karma as easily as Luo Fan.
Luo Fan's eyes were focused, and the power that grabbed a trace of karma suddenly shook, and instantly passed through tens of thousands of miles of strata and came directly to him.
For this kind of karma that ordinary monks feared like a tiger, he just raised his right hand and grabbed it as if he were facing an ordinary black mist.
The moment this karma came into play, he felt that the endless curses, endless anger, and endless curses endured by his mind and thoughts had all become stronger countless times.
All these sounds wildly impacted his mind and thoughts, and the intensity of the erosion increased a hundred times.
However, such erosion was like a waterfall hitting a rock when faced with Luo Fan's mind and body, which had become as smooth as a golden elixir. Although the momentum was extremely shocking, it did not cause any harm to the rock. The rock remains eternally fixed, unaffected by it.
"So this is karma." Luo Fan carefully observed the trace of karma in his hands and let out an inexplicable sigh for a long time.
This trace of karma is neither ordinary energy nor ordinary matter.
It is something that is made up of the outlines, combinations and limitations of countless rules and laws. Its existence is completely connected with the rules and laws of the entire continent, and even connected with the avenues of the entire continent. Its tenacity cannot be fully understood unless it can be completely Completely destroy the entire continent, otherwise it will be impossible to destroy it.
Luo Fan slapped his hand casually, and mysterious power came out of his hand, drilling directly into the trace of karma, directly into the gaps between the rules and structures of karma, constantly vibrating and cracking, thinking This structure of rules and regulations must be broken down. In the end, he found that no matter what he did, even if he had completely grasped the weakness of the rules and laws, the structure of the rules and laws had completely collapsed. In the end, he found that as long as his power left, the rules and laws would disappear. When condensed again, it still looks the same as before, and it still has the karmic structure that is enough to sink all living beings.
"It seems that if you want merit, you have to follow the rules of this continent." Luo Fan sighed and let go of his hand. The karma fell down. After falling a few feet, it suddenly disappeared without a trace. .
The moment it disappeared, the same karma appeared around the body of the strange beast tens of thousands of miles underground.
Obviously, at this moment, that karma relied on the rules and laws of this continent to easily cross the void and return to its original position.
The reason why Luo Fan said this is because although merit and karma are completely opposite, they are two existences that correspond to each other. In other words, the structure of merit should essentially belong to the same category as karma.
In this way, if we study the structure of karma, we can roughly deduce the structure of merit. After deducing the structure of merit, you can naturally find a way to create this structure yourself, so that you can easily obtain enough merit, and then use these merits to end the cause and effect with this world, and finally find a way to open the door to ascension. Enter the world behind the door of ascension and get close to the truth of this dojo.
Unfortunately, judging from this karma, although karma and merit have decomposable structures, and these structures do not seem to be very complicated, they are completely consistent with the rules and laws of this continent. , completely consistent with the laws and avenues of this continent, so unless we can directly penetrate into the rules, laws and avenues of this continent and directly change the rules, laws and avenues of this continent fundamentally, it is simply impossible to create the rules of these two structures ourselves. The law manifests itself.
Obviously, when Luo Fan's physical strength is not suppressed, he may be able to do this easily and directly go deep into the rules and laws of the continent to change them. But at this time, Luo Fan, let alone divided Without a body, even if he is here, his strength is extremely horribly suppressed, and it is simply impossible to do this. In this way, it is obvious that he cannot create merit by himself.
Therefore, Luo Hung would express such emotion.
Cheating was no longer possible, and Luo Fan could only sigh and honestly follow the rules to gain merit.
His thoughts moved slightly, and the power in his body was released, rushing out of his body directly, turning into an invisible and qualityless existence, forming thousands of chain-like existences, constantly drilling into the river below, and then It continues to penetrate deep into the ground below, turning into a huge three-dimensional network, covering the entire bottom layer within a radius of several miles.
The entrance of the diverted river is extremely wide, several miles wide. A few miles away, there is still the previous highland, so it looks like there is a huge gap in the highland suddenly.
The power of Luo Fan's soul clone is a kind of power that contains almost all properties and is of extremely high quality. This kind of power is not only tough and solid, but also capable of ever-changing changes. It has such wonderful effects that other cultivation methods on the continent do not have.
Luo Fan controlled the tens of millions of forces that separated from his body, his eyes focused, and all the forces began to move at the same time. In an instant, an indescribable terrifying lifting force erupted from the three-dimensional network composed of tens of millions of forces, gradually lifting the bottom layer that was several miles around the gap and tens of miles deep underground.
Even though Luo Fan's Taoist realm at this time is only equivalent to the ninth level of the mortal realm, you can feel how poor his strength is at this time. After all, the ninth level of the mortal realm is an almost immortal realm. In such a realm, it is certainly too exaggerated to destroy the world, but it is not a problem at all to turn mountains and seas.
The combined weight of the strata within a radius of several miles and several miles deep underground reached an almost astronomical figure, but compared to him, it only made him feel slightly strenuous.
At this time, he was raising the ground layer, but the weight was secondary. What caused him some trouble was how to fix the ground layer after it was raised.
After all, if the bottom layer is raised hundreds of feet, there will naturally be hundreds of feet of gaps below. If there is no corresponding arrangement and these gaps are allowed to exist, then the raised bottom layer will probably fall back down again soon. At that time, it will also be the result of the river changing its course. In this way, not to mention bringing merit to Luo Fan, the karma should not drag him down completely, he should just chuckle.
Luo Fan frowned and meditated, using his power to continuously drive the surrounding strata, so that the gap left after the stratum was lifted was gradually replenished by the surrounding stratum soil, trying to avoid the gap after the stratum was lifted too large.
In this way, it was either difficult or made his speed of raising the ground extremely slow.
The whole process lasted for three days and three nights.
During these three days and three nights, he controlled the continuous rise of the stratum at every moment, and controlled the tens of millions of forces to perform extremely subtle operations at every moment.
