Chapter 351: Enlightenment
At this moment, Liu Heng was more sober, finding more and more calmness in the madness, and thinking about the current situation felt a little strange.
Who is the opponent?
It can be said that there is no opponent, or rather, the opponent turned out to be himself!
These are actually from the resentments he has accumulated over the years, but they are usually suppressed by his reason, and now the poison of the love demon is an introduction, which makes the resentment that has been squeezed for many years explode at the same time. He had never encountered such a situation where he could face all his grievances without escaping, so now he suddenly realized that he also had so many grievances!
In Zen Taoism, this is the root of evil, and everyone has it.
Even sages and gentlemen rarely can see open-mindedly, and there are always their evil roots. But the stronger the state of mind, the more it can suppress the evil root on its own, so that it does not really affect one's own sanity. And the weaker the state of mind, the more full of evil roots, the more uncontrollable it becomes, and it becomes the source of all evil.
Bitterness can be called the most powerful root of evil.
A Zen sage once said that there are eight sufferings in human life: birth, old age, sickness, death, love and separation, resentment and hatred, and the five yin aggregates.
The pain of birth, old age, sickness and death, the pain of love and parting, the pain of meeting enemies, the pain of being obscured by the five obsessions of wanting to do knowledge, and the suffering of longing but not being able to. The eight kinds of suffering, everyone is like this, under the erosion of this fierce bitterness and poison, they will all be rolled out, and people will be immersed in endless sorrow and irritability for a long time, just like a quagmire, the more you think about it, the deeper you will fall, and you will never be able to get rid of it.
"It's letting go of the beast in your heart and killing yourself. ”
Liu Heng realized that he quickly understood what he should do, "Evil thoughts are beasts, Tao and reason are iron cages, and every truth can become a solid iron bar. The more solid the truth, the stronger and stronger the cage that traps the beast of evil thoughts, and finally locks it up, then it is useless to let the poison of the love demon fan the flames. ”
The most correct way should be to kill the beast, but Liu Heng knows very well how terrifying this "beast" is, and it is almost impossible to be killed. What a sage can't do, let alone him.
After thinking for a while, it seemed to give the poison of love demons a chance to breathe, and in the blink of an eye, more bitter and distracting thoughts were released, and he once again counterattacked like a huge wave!
It was when he once met the barbarian cook and the old man Zhou You, and when he saw the two overlords, he had the desire to ask them to go and rescue Uncle He immediately. Later, he vaguely mentioned that the barbarian cook only said that there was no reason to help in vain, and Mr. Zhou You was just embarrassed. said that there was no reason to intervene, at most a few words of warning, and he doubted that it would have much effect.
It all makes sense, but the disappointment and resentment in Liu Heng's heart at that time can be imagined.
"Ridiculous!" Liu Heng's mind turned around, and he already sneered and mocked, "What kind of thing am I? Why should the dignified overlord help me for no reason? They refused reasonably, and the resentment I gave birth to was unreasonable!"
Without waiting for the distracting thoughts to regenerate, he had already preemptively shouted: "One come." Although He Bo was in danger, the hexagram had already made it clear that he would be in danger for three years. Second, men should be self-reliant and self-reliant! If they don't want to improve themselves, they blindly crave help from outside forces, which is opportunistic.
"Such cowardly acts. I don't bother to do it!"
The voice in his heart was clear and loud, and he spoke confidently, so dignified and majestic, for the first time, the pride in his heart was undisguisedly revealed, and the edge was brilliant!
Ren is a distracting thought. The root of evil, the poison of love demons, seems to be shocked under the power of this Tao and reason, and the arrogance is greatly reduced.
It seems to be suppressed to the limit, and the subsequent counter-compensation is even more violent.
That's Xiaohuaxian, that's Ji Mengpeng, that's Gu Rujing, seeing that they are deeply favored by the sky, they are already famous at a young age, and the light shines so dim that others are dull. They are extremely talented, and they are deeply favored by the sect and the overlord master, and they want to be windy and rainy, and the scenery is infinite.
Liu Heng was depressed, he once felt that he should be like them, get all the favors, live a graceful and noble life, and live a smooth life. And he himself, growing up in a small county town that is so remote that it is almost forgotten, even if he also has the qualifications of Tianjiao, but he lives so bleakly and hard, and it is also difficult to cultivate the spirit body, and there is no scenery for them, no one knows who he is.
It's the same Tianjiao physique, why is it different?
"Huh?"
In the face of this surging bitterness and jealousy, Liu Heng was surprised, and finally smiled, "I didn't expect that I would have such a cheesy heart of comparison." It is said that human destiny is destined, a child who has just studied also knows that all people are born unequal, my eyes are only higher than the highest, then more people don't even have the potential to be arrogant, shouldn't they be born depressed to death, why should they still live in the world?"
Indeed, the resentment is becoming more and more unreasonable. Even if you really say it according to this crooked and heretical theory, I am afraid that tens of millions of people can be upset because of this, and they already have the potential of Tianjiao that is unique in ten thousand, and they can also get away with awakening their physique, and Liu Heng, who occupies a position of Tianjiao, is also the most unqualified.
"Besides. Liu Heng smiled lightly, "What about Tianjiao these days? No matter what the reason is, but when I met back then, mine was indeed better than most of the objects I had envied and jealous of, and now I can compete with the peak powerhouses of martial arts, what about them?"
Eight or nine months ago, maybe they and Liu Heng still had the strength to fight, but now the gap is getting bigger and bigger.
It's not that they don't work hard enough, it can only be said that Liu Heng's bizarre encounters have created him now, and he has left them all behind him like a comet.
Why bother with someone who is far inferior to him now?
Maybe Liu Heng's life will not be long, maybe the higher he goes, the more obstacles he will encounter, and those peerless geniuses with great potential may come from behind at any time, but at least for now.
"Distracting thoughts are becoming more and more untenable, which means that the influence of the poison of love demons on me is getting smaller and smaller. Liu Heng muttered, and his heart was more calm.
His sanity was close to normal, and the poison of the love demon was defeated in front of his Dao and Reason, and the harm was reduced to a very low level, and it could no longer affect him as much as it did at the beginning. He could even gradually stop paying attention to the poison of the demons, and regain his composure in the situation where distracting thoughts were growing wildly, thinking about his true heart.
"What do I want?"
Liu Heng began his search journey, "What am I pursuing?"
This is not a grudge bred by the poison of love. It was the calm thinking that came out of his mind on its own, and as soon as a thought was born, countless pasts poured out wildly under the influence of the poison of love demons. He has the ability to never forget, but compared to the results of thinking under normal circumstances, under the influence of the poison of love demons, he has discovered many important details that are usually overlooked. Let him see himself more clearly.
"The sharpening of the will mentioned by Senior Sister Du Jiuniang and the torture of the original heart, it should be my current state, right?" Liu Heng realized, "It is indeed amazing." ”
Usually when you look at yourself, there will always be bias and neglect, and you will never be so comprehensive and detailed.
The quest for wealth, the quest for power and fame.
Power, fame and fortune, this is the most common desire of most people, Liu Heng looked back on himself. found that although he also had these desires, it seemed that he was far below the level of a normal person, and his pursuit of power, fame and fortune was very weak.
"Love?"
Although Liu Heng will also have a heart of admiration for a certain woman, this is the level of a normal person, and he can't even talk about pursuit. Liu Heng has seen the appearance of an infatuated man and a woman, he doesn't think about tea and dinner for a certain admirer, and he doesn't think about it all day long, as if he has lost his soul. He couldn't get to that either.
"The quest to become stronger?"
It should have been his clearest and strongest desire, but these things. He had already thought it through, and he didn't have a deep meaning. Today, under the poisonous influence of this love demon, he was full of distracting thoughts, most of which were beyond his control, and suddenly made him think deeply.
"Why do I want to be stronger?"
Because he wanted to rescue He Bo, he was forced to be eager to improve himself. In pursuit of strength, he has even become unscrupulous.
Dare to try anything, even if it is faster because he becomes stronger, he can ignore the huge problem of life loss, and he will not hesitate to turn his face with his friends. also has to plunge into the deep pit of "Blood Practice" without hesitation.
There are so many legacies of martial arts dual cultivation, there is no need to be reminded by others, and he himself knows very well. If you really want to become stronger, specialization is the long-term way, but that's what he did. Because he is like a person who is about to drown, he is unwilling to let go of any way to become stronger, and directly uses it as a life-saving straw in his hands.
It can be said that if he is a person who sincerely pursues strength, Liu Heng will inevitably make a lot of wrong choices and completely "ruin" himself.
"I was in too much of a hurry. Liu Heng muttered to himself, but he was very aware of his situation, and he had no regrets. Because he had already figured it out, his choice would still not change in those circumstances now.
"The most urgent thing is to rescue Uncle Ho, and now I have a lot of confidence. ”
Not only is his own strength swelling dramatically, and he can almost fight with the powerhouses of the Martial Master Realm, but after having that mysterious and strange mud monkey, it has increased his self-confidence too much, "Now, if I can already think about rescuing Uncle He and continuing to survive with luck, what will I want to pursue?"
Liu Heng imagined that situation, and became carefree again, and the corners of his mouth were filled with a pure smile that he had not seen for a long time.
"As long as you know what the Soul Dao Martial Dao is like, I guess you will be like me, and you will have infinite curiosity, right?"
The deeper the knowledge of the soul path and martial arts, the more you will be fascinated by the charm of their magical world, wanting to see more, wanting to know more, and wanting to see more scenery.
A higher realm, more mysteries, has a fatal temptation to Liu Heng, he is too curious.
"In my lifetime, I just want to climb the peak of the Soul Dao and the Martial Dao and see more beautiful scenery!" Liu Heng's eyes were surprisingly bright, as if the more he thought about it, the more he would bloom with some kind of bright light.
"That's what I want, right?"
Liu Heng asked himself, but he felt that it was still not enough, as if he was still not completely thorough, "I always feel that there is still one step away from the true heart that I haven't really crossed, but I can't think about it." ”
He couldn't help but have some regrets, but compared to before he entered the body of the love demon, his journey of conscience had gained a lot.
"Will, sure enough, is not so easy to find. Liu Heng smiled indifferently and was very open-minded, "Originally, I was too far away from my will, but now, maybe I only have one opportunity left before I can really take the last step." ”
There is only one opportunity missing, and it is not far away, and it is not close to it.
It's like there's a layer of window paper, and if you don't find it, it can obscure your eyes forever, and if you do, it's just a thing that will break with a poke.
"I'm not in a hurry now, because even if I find my will, the Martial Master Realm still has other troubles for me. This is a faint feeling brought to him by "Blood Refining Gong", this incomplete technique that only reaches the martial arts realm has invisibly cut down the cultivator's martial arts path, and the road ahead has been completely cut off.
Especially in order to save his life, he also "tampered with" "Blood Practice" very nonsense, which made it even worse.
With such an understanding, Liu Heng was not in much of a hurry to be promoted to the martial arts realm. It's useless to be anxious, when he is promoted to the peak of martial arts, all troubles will erupt, so let's find a way to solve all the troubles first and then think about other things.
Therefore, there is no hurry to find the will.
"It's rare to be in such a wonderful state, no matter what you think, you can find more problems, even if you don't use it to sharpen your will, you can't waste it. Liu Heng thought, "Just think about more things." ”
......
"Huh. ”
Huang Ting was extremely bored, and gave up the idea of escaping, so he simply moved with difficulty, climbed to that special angle and looked deeper into the rift, peeking at Liu Heng's movements to pass the time.
Sensing that Liu Heng listened to the admonition of his martial idiot senior sister and resolutely stepped into the body of the love demon to "sharpen his will", the corners of Huang Tingkai's mouth suddenly hooked a mocking sneer.
"After all, I was born in a small family, and I don't know how to train that demonic strength. ”
Using the poison of love demons to sharpen their will, such a ridiculous thing, the two of them really did it, not only shallow knowledge, but also pitiful.
"If you want to find the will, the disciples of the first-class sect know very well that it is easiest to find it in the life-and-death struggle. Huang Tingkai was a little proud, feeling that he had finally found something to be able to condescendingly despise this demon, "Sharpening with the poison of love demons is simply nonsense, except for self-defeat, how much effect can it have?"
In the face of life and death, it is best to face one's heart.
