A lifetime of sin, a lifetime of sin.
It was not that Gu Qingfeng did not know this principle. He also clearly knew that once one was labeled as a sinner by the Heavenly Dao, it meant that one would be judged by the Heavenly Dao for life. It would not stop until one was judged cleanly.
He knew.
But knowing was one thing. So what if he knew?
Heaven wanted to rain, Mother wanted to marry, Heavenly Dao wanted to judge, and there was nothing he could do.
So be it.
If he could fight, he would fight. If he could not fight, he would bear it. If he could not bear it, he would hide. If he could not hide, he would run …
As for what he could do if he could not run …
Gu Qingfeng would never think deeply about this kind of problem that would make him unhappy. If he had to say what he could do if he could not run, he would only say two words, and that was to do nothing.
"After the catastrophe of the heavens, the origin of heaven and earth will be renewed, and all things will be revived. At that time, order will be reorganized, fate will be reset, the laws will be reborn, and the Great Dao will also be reborn. Now that the catastrophe has only been going on for a hundred years, the three thousand Great Dao are in the process of being reborn, and even the Heavenly Dao is no exception."
The old monk said unhurriedly.
"Since ancient times, after every catastrophe, many sinners will take advantage of the fact that the Heavenly Dao is still changing and Heaven is still asleep to seize the secrets of heaven, seize the good fortune, and determine one's fate … Once fate is determined, the Heavenly Dao will not judge you for a moment …"
"It will only be for a moment." Gu Qingfeng said with a smile, "Moreover, once fate is determined, it is the Heavenly Dao. At that time, Heaven can do whatever he wants to you. If he is happy, he will raise you like a dog. If he is not happy, he will crush you to death. Rather than that, it is better to be judged … In my eyes, fate is not as good as a dog."
"Fate is not as good as a dog …"
The old monk repeated Gu Qingfeng's words, and said helplessly, "If Heaven hears this … I wonder what he will think …"
"I don't care what he thinks …"
Gu Qingfeng looked at the faintly discernible mountain, and also at the faintly discernible temple on the mountain, and said, "To be honest, I am not interested in fate, not at all. Instead, I am more interested in karma …"
"Oh?"
The old monk did not expect Gu Qingfeng to say that. He asked, "Karma? Ancient Benefactor, why do you say that? This old monk remembers that Ancient Benefactor once said that there are three kinds of disrespect. The first is disrespect to heaven and earth, the second is disrespect to gods and devils, and the third is disrespect to immortals and buddhas … "
"Old monk, you remember it quite clearly …"
Gu Qingfeng had indeed said such words before, and it had been more than once. He respected no one but himself.
"The theory of karma comes from Buddhism. Since the ancient scholar is disrespectful, why are you interested in karma …?"
"Disrespect is disrespect, but that doesn't mean that I don't believe you." Gu Qingfeng said with a playful smile, "What's more, I've listened to you recite Buddhist scriptures for so many years. Even if I don't worship Buddha, I don't dare to not believe in karma."
"It is this old monk's fault …"
"It's just a joke. Master, please don't be angry." Gu Qingfeng pondered for a moment and then asked solemnly, "I once heard the Great Master mention something."
"Oh? I wonder what Ancient Hermit is talking about … "
"Investigating karma."
When Gu Qingfeng said the words' investigating karma ', the old monk fell silent for some reason. After a long time, he asked, "Ancient Benefactor, why did you suddenly mention investigating karma?"
"I wish to investigate my own karma."
"Investigating karma, knowing destiny." The old monk said slowly, "Ancient Benefactor, since you don't wish to know destiny, why do you want to investigate karma?"
As if he thought of something, the old monk asked again, "Could it be that Ancient Benefactor wishes to sever karma?"
Gu Qingfeng said with a smile, "Karma is ultimately karma. How can it be severed? When you begin to sever karma, it will inevitably lead to the next karma. This cycle is endless. How can it be severed? "
"Then why does Ancient Benefactor wish to investigate karma?"
Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment and said, "I have lived here for a total of five hundred years. This period of time is neither long nor short. In these five hundred years, I have spent half of my time cultivating. Cultivating the Human Dao, the Immortal Dao, the Devil Dao, the Heavenly Dao, and the other half of my time fighting. Fighting with humans, Immortals, Devils, and the Heavens …"
With a sigh, Gu Qingfeng said, "In order to cultivate, I have missed out on many people. In order to fight, I have also missed out on many things … Some people have been heartbroken because of me, some have had their lives changed because of me, and many things have changed because of me …"
"I did not expect that I would be able to survive the Heavens' judgment this time … When I first woke up, I was very confused and did not know what to do. It was only when I returned to the place where everything began that I realized that many people had changed because of me …"
"Karma cannot be severed or changed. I do not wish to sever it, nor do I wish to change anything. I only wish to know my own karma. If possible, I wish to make up for my mistakes in life and return what I owe in this life …"
With that said, Gu Qingfeng sighed again and asked, "After the catastrophe, the Origins of Heaven and Earth were renewed and the laws were reborn. Karma is no exception. I wish to take advantage of the rebirth of the laws of karma to investigate my own karma. Therefore, can I ask Master how to investigate karma? How? "
"Ancient Benefactor, let me ask you something. Do you know the consequences of investigating karma?"
Gu Qingfeng did not even think as he replied, "Of course I know. Karma is taboo. Investigating karma is equivalent to violating the Heavenly Dao."
"Ancient Benefactor, since you know that investigating karma will violate the Heavenly Dao, why do you still want to investigate? You are already a sinner. If you investigate karma, I'm afraid … "
"As you said, I'm already a sinner in the eyes of the Heavenly Dao. Why would I be afraid of the Heavens pinning a few more crimes on me? Since the Heavens believe that I'm a sinner, then I won't be a nuisance or set up a monument to my chastity. I might as well go all the way and commit a sin to the end … "
"This … Ancient Benefactor, you …"
Perhaps Gu Qingfeng's words were too 'vulgar', so much so that the old monk was momentarily at a loss for a response.
After a moment, the old monk's voice sounded, "Ancient Benefactor, investigating karma … is not that simple … The existence of karma …"
The old monk seemed to want to warn him, but Gu Qingfeng did not want to. He said, "Master, I know what you want to say. As for what karma will trigger, I don't know, nor do I wish to know. You don't have to persuade me. I won't listen even if you do. Just tell me how to investigate karma …"
"Ancient Benefactor, I hope you will think twice about investigating karma …"
"We have known each other for quite some time, right? What do you think I will do even if I think twice? "
Perhaps because he understood Gu Qingfeng's character, the old monk could not help but sigh. Back then, when Gu Qingfeng went against the Immortal Dao, he had also said to think twice. When he went against the Demonic Dao, he had also said the same thing. When he went against the Heavenly Dao, he had also said the same thing … But was it useful? In the end, Gu Qingfeng still went against the Immortal Dao, the Demonic Dao, and even the Heavenly Dao.
The old monk knew that once Gu Qingfeng set his mind on something, he would never change it. Never …
He did not respect the Heavens and Earth, nor did he respect the Gods and Devils. He had no fear at all. So what if he really thought twice? The old monk was even certain that even if Gu Qingfeng knew what karma would trigger, he would definitely not care.
"Ancient Benefactor, it's not that I don't want to tell you. It's just that the calamity has just passed and the Origin of Heaven and Earth is being renewed. The laws of karma are also being reformed. In other words, karma is not stable now. If you investigate, you might not only investigate the karma of this life, but also the karma of previous lives and the next …"
"Otherwise, why do you think I want to investigate?"
"Ancient Benefactor, you …" Perhaps because he did not expect Gu Qingfeng to say this, the old monk smiled bitterly and helplessly. "I knew that your karma investigation would not be as simple as making up for your mistakes and regrets …"
"It's true that I want to make up for my mistakes, and it's also true that I don't want to leave behind any regrets." Gu Qingfeng chuckled and said, "I was thinking that since I had nothing to do anyway, and now that the Origin is being renewed, all the laws of the Great Dao are being reborn. This is a good opportunity that comes once in a million years. Others are taking advantage of this opportunity to steal the secrets of Heaven, seize the good fortune, and determine fate. I'm not interested in these. I just want to investigate my own karma."
"This …"
The old monk seemed to be a little hesitant. After careful consideration, he replied, "The way of karma is very complicated. In a person's life, a sentence, an action, or even a thought can cause different kinds of karma. Millions of karma may be born in a person's life. To investigate one's own karma is very, very difficult … However …"
The old monk changed the topic and said, "However, it's not like there's no way to start. Everyone has a few major transitions in their life. Karma is the same. If you can find the source of the transitions in life …"
"The source of transitions in life …"
Gu Qingfeng muttered this sentence. After a long time, he nodded as if he understood.
"Ancient Benefactor, I hope you will think twice before you act. After all, the laws of karma are being reformed. If you insist on investigating karma, once you investigate the karma of previous lives, previous lives, and next lives … I'm afraid …"
"What will happen?"
"I don't know …"
"Isn't that enough? Why worry about things you don't know in life …"
"Sigh … Great freedom … Great freedom … Great freedom … Great freedom … Ancient Benefactor's state of mind is really unpredictable."
"Hahahahaha … Forget it. You just woke up and are still very weak. Rest first …"
