Chapter 694: Past Life Pressures This Life

"What kind of method is this that can actually restrain the Buddha seal bestowed by the Buddha?"

Lu Yan's face showed horror, Chu Tai was also stunned, and then he thought carefully and suddenly realized that his own thunder method was created because of Lin Lingsu's Yuantai, and it has already formed a karmic connection with her Shenxiao Thunder Method. With the influence of the karma red lotus burning the Buddhist cause and effect, Chu Tai's thunder method and fire method also have a certain restraint on the Buddhist law of this illusory world.

The most important thing is that Chu Tai can see that the so-called Buddhist seal bestowed by the Buddha in Lu Yan's hand is nothing more than a collection of Buddhist concepts in this world.

For those who have not yet understood the true nature of this world, perhaps there is indeed a paradise in the West with Buddhas and Bodhisattvas.

But those who have seen through it know that it is just the place where Buddhist causes and conditions converge, and even if one really ascends there, one cannot be liberated. That is why Elder Zhizhen of Mount Wutai was reincarnated in the human world instead of ascending to paradise.

After seeing through the surface and breaking the Buddha's powerful outer shell, and then using the method of restraint under the operation of cause and effect, the Buddha seal in Lu Yan's hand naturally lost its mystery. Not only was he backlashed, but his body was also injured by thunder and fire.

The six immortals who were fighting with Xu Ranzi were also shocked when they saw this, and hurriedly turned around to try to protect Lu Yan.

During this time, He Xiangu also raised her hand and made a Buddhist seal. This Buddhist seal was different from Lu Yan's, which came from the Buddha of this world. Instead, it was left by Guanyin at the beginning of her practice in this life, after she cut off her arm to save people.

Compared to the domineering Buddha's handprint of Lu Yan, the Buddha's light shot by He Xiangu was more compassionate. The vast white light shot up into the sky, and then split into pieces of snow-white lotus petals, passing in all directions, purifying all filth and revealing the pure true nature.

Although Huo Ranzi knew that the Buddhist bliss was an illusion, because of the existence of Monk Zhizhen, he had the idea that Buddhism was also the right way. He could not fully understand that the Buddha's light before him was essentially the product of causes and conditions, but regarded it as a magical power similar to that bestowed by the Queen Mother of the West and the True Lord of Exorcism. He did not dare to be careless and took two steps back to protect himself with the sword seal.

The other six immortals who forced Huo Ranzi back attacked Chu Tai. The ragged Tieguai Li stretched out his iron crutch and hit the key point of Chu Tai's body energy circulation, trying to force him back.

Zhang Guolao, riding on a donkey, raised the fisherman's drum in his hand and beat it with his hand. Amid the bursts of clear sounds, there was infinite mystery. It seemed that he was imparting the mysteries of the Tao, but in this scene, he was actually misleading people.

At the same time, Han Xiangzi played the dongxiao in coordination with it. The sound was low and gentle, quiet and elegant, with a hint of ethereal artistic conception hidden under the fishing drum. It is easy for ordinary people to detect the music of the fishing drum, but difficult to avoid the sound of the dongxiao.

Lan Caihe pointed the flower basket in his hand at Lu Yan and slammed the bottom of the basket. Suddenly, countless colorful petals gushed out from it, like flowers scattered by a fairy, flying around Lu Yan. Vines grew between the petals, protecting him firmly. At the same time, some Jiayi Wood Green Qi surged, suppressing the injuries in Lu Yan's body.

He Xiangu hurried to Lu Dongbin, placed the precious lotus in her hand in front of him, and urged it with all her strength. The clear light turned into blue lotus flowers as red as colored glaze. The lotus roots were deeply planted and went straight into the center of the thunder and fire energies. Layer by layer, they turned the thunder and fire into vitality and healed Lu Yan's injuries.

Finally, Han Zhongli waved a palm-leaf fan and attacked Chu Tai.

The fan danced, and the rolling waves of fire swept in all directions along with the overwhelming red light. Wherever it passed, the sky seemed to be burning and the ground quickly cracked. It was obvious that this immortal had already developed the intention to kill.

"Using anger to drive away fire is quite interesting, but unfortunately it is still far inferior to the Taoist Wutai. It's just so-so."

Chu Tai hesitated for a moment on the word "Wutai", and shook the golden lamp in his hand. The flames gathered in it, and then he flicked his finger and knocked away the iron crutch that fell from behind. He swung his long sleeves, and thunder sounded in the void, and a crack appeared on the fisherman's drum and the flute.

Finally, Chu Tai placed the golden lamp in front of him and blew a breath at Han Zhongli. A long wave of fire far stronger than the opponent's poured out from the golden lamp, like a raging tide breaking mountains, and directly buried Han Zhongli. He had no time to resist. This immortal who was good at fire magic was forced to disintegrate in the fire, leaving only a half-burned cattail fan floating in the air.

Seeing this scene, the other six immortals became furious, and Lu Yan was even more grief-stricken. He was about to go forward and fight with Chu Tai, when he saw the other party suddenly appear beside him.

Lu Yan couldn't help but take a step back. Chu Tai frowned and couldn't help cursing, "Your reputation is in vain."

As he said that, he stretched out his hand, took the two broken swords in his hand, threw them hard, and directly killed Lu Yan.

The move was so swift that even Xu Ranzi, who was watching, couldn't help but tremble.

"Bastard!"

Han Xiangzi was converted by Lü Yan, and Han Zhongli had put a lot of effort into converting Tieguai Li. Both of them were extremely sad at the moment, waving their magic weapons to fight to the death. Seeing this, Huo Ranzi hurried forward to stop them, not because he was worried that Chu Tai could not beat them, but because he was worried that Chu Tai would directly kill the remaining five immortals.

Chu Tai saw what Huo Ranzi was thinking and said with a smile: "Don't be anxious, fellow Taoist. Just watch them. They will thank me later."

"Bah, you also want us to thank you?"

Han Xiangzi's face was ferocious and there was a hint of murderous aura rising from him. It was obvious that he was still affected by his own defects.

Chu Tai shook his head and couldn't help feeling a little angry towards the Eight Immortals in front of him, but the next moment, he felt something was wrong. When did he become so irritable?

Look up at the sky, and use the fingers to deduce whether the reason for your emotional changes is related to your destiny.

During this time, Han Xiangzi saw that Chu Tai ignored him, so he turned the flute in his hand, and several illusory lights jumped, like a flying sword and jumping balls, slashing towards Chu Tai's neck with a sharp edge.

"You really don't know what's good for you."

Looking back at Han Xiangzi, Chu Tai snapped his fingers and a lotus blossomed, holding up the falling spiritual light. Then a hint of ruthlessness appeared in his eyes. Behind him, the causes and conditions converged, thunder and fire intertwined, like a nine-tailed fox swaying. Under the magic of the heavenly fox, he could see clearly the node connecting the magic power of Dong Xiao and Han Xiangzi.

As soon as he thought of it, thunder and fire came down simultaneously, the flute shattered, and Han Xiangzi, whose cultivation was greatly damaged, fell to the ground with a charred body.

At the moment Han Xiangzi took action, the others who came to help, such as Zhang Guolao, Li Tieguai, Lan Caihe and He Xiangu, were also knocked aside by the stirred thunder and fire.

The treasure seal appeared in Huo Ranzi's hand, and he seemed to want to stop him, but when he realized that Chu Tai was angry but not cruel, he stopped. When he saw that Han Xiangzi was only seriously injured but not dead, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The thunder and fire around Chu Tai did not stop. Under the magic method of the Heavenly Fox, the six mysteries of righteousness, helping the immortals, harmonizing fate, praying for auspiciousness, transforming disasters, and ensuring safety emerged one by one. A little light emerged from the ashes after Han Zhongli's death, and it merged with the light in the cattail fan, and an illusory shadow emerged.

At the same time, a spiritual light appeared on Lu Yan's body, interweaving with the light in the broken sword to form an illusory shadow.

"Daoyou, what are you doing?"

Huo Ranzi saw Chu Tai's thoughts and said with some surprise: "I thought you cared more about this life."

Chu Tai smiled when he heard this, and thunder and fire intertwined around him, pulling Han Xiangzi, Zhang Guolao, Tieguai Li, Lan Caihe and He Xiangu into a layer of illusion.

The three wonderful methods of righteousness, assistance to the immortals, and karma will draw out the spiritual light of their past lives, pray for auspiciousness and transform evil spirits to suppress their weaknesses, ensure their health and make sure they won't have any problems.

After doing all this, Chu Tai answered Huoranzi's question.

"Didn't I say this before? I believe that immortals should have the right to choose when they reincarnate. We can't respect someone just because they are the reincarnation of someone else. The relationship between the two should be one of inheritance, not connection."

"But now they have obviously inherited the power of their previous lives. We must give them the right to choose. We cannot allow the reincarnated people to use the good deeds and blessings accumulated in their previous lives to commit evil in this life and tarnish the reputation of their previous lives."

"Of course, I am also a little curious about what expressions these immortals would have when their memories of their past lives were restored and they saw what I am doing now."

Upon hearing this, Huo Ranzi asked back, "What if you think it's okay?"

"That means the Eight Immortals in this cycle are rotten."
