Wet viviparity

Chapter 692: Increase and decrease, jump outside
In the golden light, the star official of the Pleiades had completely lost his divine majesty and demeanor. He was wearing a golden and red brocade robe that was half-open, revealing the snow-white lining inside. He said with great interest, "To be honest, in the past years in the fairy mountains, I often gambled with the immortals in the mountains, specifically betting on the life span of mortals.

He should have lived to be eighty, but I bet he drowned in the bathtub. He should have been about to die, but I bet he could prolong his life by taking rat poison. With this gambling skill, I won a lot of property in the mountains.

Especially the two old gatekeepers Tu and Lei, who almost gambled their lives on me. With their little moral character, they were sent to secretly monitor me, which is really ridiculous. "

"You can't say that. Those two gods have good intentions."

Ji Ming made a brief defense for Tu and Lei.

The Pleiades official slightly restrained his disdain for the two gods, laughed, and said, "Yes, they are not bad, just a little naive. They have survived to this day and have not been "eaten", which shows the kindness of God."

Maybe it was because of the right atmosphere for the conversation, but Ji Ming felt that the Pleiades official seemed to be more relaxed. His conversation was no longer limited to the matters between the two of them, and he was willing to talk more about irrelevant things.

After seeing the Pleiades star official start talking, Ji Ming deliberately chatted about something irrelevant, but in fact he was doing two things at once, silently operating his soul, and with the help of the pupil god, he calculated the situation of the gambling fight that was favorable to him.

Under the intense consumption of the soul, the entire dream began to change.

The Pleiades star official didn't care. He knew what Ji Ming was thinking, but he didn't say it out loud. After all, in a sense, this bet was not fair.

In his opinion, Jintong would definitely rack his brains to limit this unfairness, and Jintong also understood that his Pleiades star official would specially allow his various restrictions in order to prove that he did not bully the weak.

"Restrictions?" The Pleiades star official smiled in his heart. Without knowing the super-tribulation ability of Shen Zhen, how could he talk about restrictions? Such restrictions were ultimately just Jin Tong's imagination, like looking at the sky from a well.

"The content of the bet must be decided by me!"

Ji Ming said in a resolute voice, without allowing any room for rebuttal.

"can."

The Pleiades star official said with a smile.

"Let's gamble on a person's 'gains' and 'losses'."

"Gain. Subtraction"

The expression of the Pleiades star official changed, and he carefully chewed on the meaning of this. The more he thought about it, the more interesting it became. "To what extent can increase and decrease change a person's life and temperament?

Is it the deep joy of having something, or the lasting sadness of losing it? Or are both just the foam in the long river of life?

This bet involves the uncertainty of fate. Jin Tong, you really have the heart of an immortal who is infinitely seeking the Tao. I was right about you."

"Don't worry, I'm not finished yet."

Ji Ming kept his mind focused, not letting his thoughts wander and be caught by the other party. He continued, "There is a core rule in this gambling fight - the normal way of life cannot be changed!"

"how to explain?"

The Pleiades star official asked with great interest.

"Our actions will never change this person's original heart, the path of behavior, the quality of his endowment, or the basis of his life.

This person's choice must be entirely based on his own wishes, without being deceived by magic or forced by external forces. The effectiveness of gambling can only be achieved by relying on external factors such as "gain" and "reduction", and by the person's natural instinct to follow the way of heaven and act in response to the situation. "

"This explanation is quite detailed."

The Pleiades star official laughed.

Under the influence of this iron law, whether it is gain or loss, it must conform to common sense and be natural. It must also ensure that the person's life is not overturned. Jin Tong's gambling restrictions are really brilliant.

"So, the form of the gambling fight is that one of us is responsible for increasing the power of the other person, and the other is responsible for decreasing the power of the other person. The winner is determined by the change in the person's inner character after the increase or decrease."

"That's right, increase brings joy, decrease brings pain, and ultimately, under the increase and decrease, he will be constantly happy or constantly in pain, which determines our victory or failure," Ji Ming nodded and said, when he was suddenly interrupted by the Pleiades star official.

"Reduce."

Said the Pleiades star official.

"Losing is always more painful than gaining. I will be responsible for the elimination of this person. I can't let you do that again." "Star officials have great magical powers and have inherent advantages. How can they be polite to each other?" Ji Ming shook his head and pretended to complain for a long time before reluctantly accepting the matter. He then said, "But I have to choose the candidate myself."

"It's impossible."

The Pleiades star official smiled and said, "Don't be in a hurry. Take your time to choose. It would be best if you choose someone with deep wisdom or someone who has reached the stage of transformation. Only in this way can you have enough perseverance to face my deprivation."

"I will, it will take time."

Ji Ming said.

“I have time, but I don’t want to waste time on the fun of this fight.

So we set forty years as the deadline. During these forty years, you can refine the Liangyi Ruyi Quyun Handle in the Yin-Yang Magnetic Peak, or you can attend the second class of Qingyang Immortal after thirty-six years.

Jin Tong, you have plenty of time to improve your skills to cope with this fight, and you have to know that the reason I am so tolerant is that you and I are not enemies.

It must be said that the attitude of the Pleiades official made Ji Ming less wary.

If you put yourself in Ji Ming's shoes, if he had the power of a god, how could he have the patience to communicate with a mere mortal? No matter how much he admired and was interested in him, he couldn't lower himself and condescend to him like this.

All we can say is that the two have different personalities and their levels of cultivation are so different that there is a world of difference between them.

Trying to guess what the Pleiades star official was thinking was like looking at the sky from the bottom of a well, so Ji Mingqiang simply stopped worrying about it and stopped thinking about it further.

When the two talked about some details of the gambling fight, the Pleiades official became much more interested.

Forty years was just a blink of an eye for him, the Pleiades Star Official. When the Pleiades Star Official disappeared from the dream, Ji Ming woke up in the cave. After a long while, he chuckled a few times.

He had no confidence in winning this bet, and he had no idea how far the restrictions could be set to ensure the fairness of the bet. So the real restriction did not lie here, but in that mortal.

As long as his second soul is reincarnated and becomes a mortal in this gambling fight, it means that he is both outside and inside the chessboard. This is the way to win.

Ji Ming knew very well that his only advantage over the Pleiades Star Official was the [Eye of Wet Egg Transformation] which the Pleiades Star Official could not calculate, so his chances of winning the bet had to be centered around this.

But there is another point, he can never trap himself in a situation.

Before accepting this unavoidable bet, Ji Ming was already thinking about things other than the bet.

When his second soul is reincarnated, he is designated by himself as the mortal in the gambling fight. The gambling fight game of gain and loss on him can greatly promote his practice of the Buddhist Dharma of his original deity, "God of Wealth".

The practice of the Buddhist Dharma of Wealth and Heaven is to "benefit all living beings". By practicing charity, one increases the needs of all living beings and reduces one's own greed. This increase and decrease, this gain and loss, accumulates the merit and resources for attaining Buddhahood.

Through this bet, Ji Ming can use the most direct, external force to increase and decrease the power, so that his second soul in the future reincarnation can personally feel the profound meaning of the Buddha's Dharma of the God of Wealth, which can be regarded as another way to realize the Buddha's Dharma.

Even if he lost the bet, he still won half a battle.

If the Pleiades star official really has evil intentions in the future and forces his main body to reincarnate here to avoid disaster, his second soul should be able to take charge of things on its own and protect him to re-enter the Tao, quickly accumulate resources, and climb the path to immortality again.

Although the plan is good, it is still like walking on thin ice when it comes to action. Whether it is the Buddha's Dharma or other things, they must be carefully considered. Each one has far-reaching implications and must be carefully considered.

Such a difficult situation did not discourage Ji Ming. Instead, it gave him a premonition that he was on the right path. The higher he went, the more difficulties and obstacles would become objective challenges.

If he is lazy and becomes timid, he can certainly be reborn through the eyes of the wet egg and experience all kinds of things in the world.

But he knew very well in his heart, he had known since he came to this world, that when his Taoism reached a certain level, he would inevitably fall into disaster, and some difficulties and obstacles would follow.

To say that one can become invincible through constant reincarnation in this world, not to mention the decadence and decay of one's own mind, is itself a fantasy.

No matter which world you are in, some truths remain unchanged: the higher you get to the top, the narrower the road becomes. If you get the resources and opportunities that help you move forward, others will lose them forever.

"It's time to go to Taiyi Qingmu Mountain to meet Tu and Lei to reminisce about the past."

Ji Ming thought.
