Chapter 9: Wisdom Sword

With the extra three hundred days, Tang Zheng could finally cultivate with peace of mind and cultivate the spirit body.

Under the nourishment of the rich aura of the Water Moon Cave Heaven, the newborn spirit body grew at a rapid rate, and some new changes were being produced almost every day.

Tang Zheng could even feel the increase in strength and the extension of life.

It was a wonderful, indescribable feeling, and for the first time in the Tang Dynasty, there was no reason for it, that is, it was possible to clearly feel this kind of existence, and even to count the changes in it.

After cultivating for another fifty days in Tang Tribulation, his once-lost power finally returned, and at this time, his strength had returned to Cheng DΓΉ before entering enlightenment.

Naturally, this kind of strength could not continue to advance, so Tang Zheng continued to cultivate.

A hundred days later, the strength of the Tang Tribulation has recovered to the point of enlightenment and enlightenment, and before entering the three withering.

Tang Zai knew that the time had come to climb the mountain again.

With penance alone, 300 days is actually not enough time for him to achieve spiritual perfection, and only by climbing the peak and getting more elixirs can he survive the three dries.

In this regard, even if there is no monkey's advice, Tang Zheng will do this, at best, the monkey is more demanding, and he will go all the way to the top before the three withering.

On this morning, Tang Zheng once again set foot on the road to Shuiyue Peak.

As strength is restored, the climb becomes less difficult.

Two days later, Tang Zheng successfully stood on the 700-meter platform.

The 750-meter-high platform was not only close to him, but also seemed to be far away from the end of the world.

Tang Zheng had already tried, and the resistance to the stone steps leading to seven hundred and fifty meters was extremely strong, and with his current strength, it was not enough to climb it.

But he wasn't worried.

Above 600 meters, he got one elixir every fifty meters, so he now had two more elixirs in his hand.

Using the two elixirs, Tang Zheng spent a day absorbing the medicinal power, and the strength of the spirit body was also growing rapidly.

A day later, the obstacle that was originally like a moat in front of him finally loosened a gap for Tang Zheng.

Walking all the way up the stone road, Tang Zheng walked step by step.

Hard, slow, but unwavering!

After a day and a night of ascending, Tang Zheng finally stood on a high platform of 750 meters.

There is no lively mirror wall of the Heroes' Terrace here, but there are a few stone tablets standing on the hillside next to the high platform, and even if you look at the Moon Washing Sect for thousands of years, there are very few who can reach this height.

In the direction closest to the outer rim, a particularly tall stele blocks the rear stele face.

Tang Zai saw that the tablet read: "Words to Tang Zai my son: If you can go up here, you must have completed the entrustment, and the spirit body has been successful, and it is not an exaggeration to call you my son." As a father, he is incompetent, and he can't leave you any peerless treasures, so he can only leave a message for gifts. This 750-meter-high platform is the Yunzu Platform, which was left by the Yun Patriarch I sent to practice here, and it can be blessed by the Patriarch. You need to choose the Empty Mind Grass and practice here for 9981 days before you can continue to climb the peak. During this time, do not look at the words on other stone tablets. Remember! Remember! Luo Hanzhen!"

Don't look at the words on other steles?

Tang Zheng was slightly stunned.

He instinctively glanced behind the stele, and just as he was about to look, the stele in front of him suddenly shone brightly, so bright that Tang Zheng couldn't open his eyes.

Then the stele shattered piece by piece, turning into spiritual light and dissipating.

Na Luo Han is really not a person who cultivates mountaineering, so he has no right to leave a word in front of this platform, and he can stand this monument here for a period of time, which is already a monkey net. Now that he has retired, he has dissipated.

After this monument disappeared, the rear monument appeared in front of Tang Zheng's eyes.

Tang Zheng knew that these inscriptions should be the experience of the predecessors who had been here before, and their value was much higher than that of the 500-meter Hero Platform.

However, since Luo Hanzhen left a message that he was not allowed to observe, Tang Zheng believed that Luo Hanzhen would not harm himself, so he didn't look at those stone tablets, and according to what Luo Hanzhen said, he asked the disciples of Nongtang to choose an empty heart grass and take it, and then sat down to cultivate by himself.

This Empty Mind Grass is a kind of elixir that calms the mind and calms the mind, and is not disturbed by the outside world, but it is actually an elixir against the demons of the heart, and it has no effect on the cultivators of the three tribulations of the Tang Tribulation, and it does not improve much on cultivation.

If it weren't for Luo Hanzhen's reminder, Tang Zheng would never have chosen it.

From this day on, Tang Zheng continued to cultivate on this high platform and improve himself.

Although he believed that Luo Hanzhen would not harm himself, he couldn't see the inscription on the stone tablet, which made Tang Zheng's heart always itch. It's like a child, even if you know that the adults are right, you can't help but want to take a look, which makes your heart itch, as if there is a cat scratching in your heart.

This feeling was fine at first, but after staying for a long time, it made Tang Zheng restless, and even the efficiency of cultivation was greatly reduced.

At this time, the effect of the Empty Heart Grass was brought into play, and this thing calmed the nerves, making Tang Zheng feel irritable no matter what, and he could always hold himself in the end, but the itch in his heart had gradually changed from one cat scratching to a hundred cats scratching.

In private, Tang Zheng was also wondering, his concentration seemed to have decreased a little.

There seems to be some kind of formation hidden on this high platform, which can expand the desires in people's hearts and make it difficult for people to control themselves.

When he realized this, his heart was alert, and the uncontrollable itch gradually disappeared.

At this time, Tang Zheng realized that he had probably guessed correctly, and there was indeed some kind of mystery on this high platform, which was releasing the desires and feelings in people's hearts. If it weren't for Luo Han's real reminder, and he was considered to be very determined, I was afraid that he would really be affected by his confusion.

On the twelfth day of coming to Gaotai, Tang Zheng was still practicing, and the itch in his heart had completely disappeared at this time.

Suddenly, I heard a murmur in my ears.

Tang Zheng thought that the disciples of the Nongtang had gathered, but when he opened his eyes, he saw that there was nothing around him, but the noise disappeared.

Slightly stunned, Tang Zheng closed his eyes and cultivated again, but after only a moment, the noise returned, and when he opened his eyes again, he still saw nothing.

So from this day on, the murmur has always lingered in Tang Zheng's ears, buzzing like mosquitoes and flies, or people's whispers, but they can't really be heard, which is annoying.

Tang Zai sneered in his heart: "Using the stone tablet to confuse doesn't work, do you start to change the way?" ”

He knew that if he was upset by the noise, he would probably lose.

Therefore, I don't pay attention to it, and make up my mind to just cultivate, and it will not be affected by the thunder and thunder around you.

So in the process of cultivation, the noise became louder and louder, and gradually it was like five thunders thundering to the top, and there were explosions in Tang Zheng's ears every moment.

It's just that if you let the thunder collapse in the sky, Tang Zheng was not moved, just sat down and practiced silently.

The twenty-first day of the high platform.

Thunder Tone terminated.

Heaven and earth suddenly returned to silence.

But Tang Zheng knew that this was not the end, but a new beginning.

Sure enough, when he finished a Sunday operation and opened his eyes, he found that he was no longer on a high platform, but on a battlefield. Shouts of slaughter are everywhere, locusts and arrows are shooting, and there are even cold swords slashing at the top of your head from time to time.

Tang Zheng just sneered and didn't move.

After being mentally prepared, for those who have experienced 3D movies, no matter how real the qiΔ“ in front of him is, it will have no effect on him.

In this respect, although the level of this illusion is higher than before, the effect is not as good as the noise harassment that did not see the picture before.

Tang Zheng walked on this bloody battlefield, meditated with his eyes closed during cultivation, practiced diligently, watched the blood and water soar in his spare time, and listened to the thunder and war drums, just watching a blockbuster.

The Blood Killing Illusion became the most comfortable place for Tang Zheng.

On the thirty-sixth day, the illusion ended.

Tang Zheng knew that a new scene was coming.

Sure enough, this time it was the dark clouds around him, and countless demons formed by black smoke emerged from the sky, screaming and rushing downward.

This time, Tang Zheng finally changed color.

Because he's heard of these demons.

Demons!

These monsters of different sizes and shapes are the well-known demons in the world of cultivating immortals, and they make people smell and change their colors.

It is the negative consciousness in people's hearts, which grows up in long-term latent and gestation, and finally turns into a demon that can devour the heart.

Tang Zheng didn't expect that cultivating here would encounter such a demon as a heart demon, and the next moment, a heart demon rushed towards the place where Tang Zheng was.

Although he knew that it was an illusion, Tang Zheng still felt a deep throbbing at that moment, and seeing the heart demon pass through his body, like a wisp of phantom, a trace of sadness rose in the depths of Tang Zheng's heart.

It is a kind of indescribable coolness that only exists in consciousness, but it is also real.

Isn't it a fantasy?

Why does it have a real impact on yourself?

Yes, the inner demon is the existence of the illusion into the truth, and even the illusion can have an effect on you.

This kind of influence is real, maybe only one-tenth of the true demon, one hundredth, but it is real!

This made Tang Zheng feel an inexplicable horror.

The demons roared from all directions, and the endless stream seemed to never disappear.

Deep in it, Tang Tribulation can't dodge, can only bear it.

As a result, anger, hatred, jealousy, cowardice, greed and other negative feelings rose in his heart, making Tang Zheng angry and irritable almost uncontrollable, even with the help of the empty heart grass, Tang Zheng was almost about to go berserk.

Fortunately, at this most critical moment, a chant suddenly sounded in my ears.

This voice is low and powerful, chanting a piece of classical economy, but bringing out a majestic and vast energy. Under this majestic energy, the demons in the heart showed signs of distraction, and the negative feelings were greatly reduced.

Tang Zheng's heart shook sharply, and the violent love gradually stabilized.

He sat down, and chanted along with the voice, word for word, over and over again.

Although he didn't know what this scripture was, Tang Zheng still felt the strange power contained in this scripture.

In this way, one thought is thirteen days.

On the forty-ninth day, all the demons disappeared at the same time.

Heaven and earth returned to reality, Tang Zheng found that he was still sitting on the high platform, quiet all around, as if nothing had happened, those peasant disciples were still working in the fields, and from their appearance, nothing had ever happened to this high platform.

Tang Zheng smiled, and then continued to bow his head and cultivate.

He knew that the one qiΔ“ was not over yet.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for Tang Zheng to find himself on a plateau.

He sat alone on the top of the mountain, between heaven and earth.

Snowflakes are drifting in the sky.

This time, it's a long time of loneliness.

Tang Zheng didn't know how long he had been sitting on the Snow Peak, but it felt like he had been on the Snow Peak for a hundred years.

For a hundred years, he had not spoken to anyone, his state of mind was old and dead, and the deep loneliness almost buried him completely.

This time has been so long, this loneliness is so deep, that Tang Zheng has gradually forgotten where he is.

Finally, a hundred years of loneliness have passed.

Tang Zheng saw the snow peak disappear.

He returned to the high platform, and only then did Tang Zheng vaguely remember that he seemed to be still in the Water Moon Cave.

"Tang Tribulation, Tang Tribulation. A man called to him.

Looking back, I saw Zhao Hui standing not far away.

He smiled and said, "Congratulations, you have passed the ninety-nine eighty-one days and completed the test. I have been ordered to give it to you, and you can continue on your way up the mountain. ”

As he spoke, he had delivered a bottle of elixir.

Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Dan!

The secret medicine that impacted the heart of heaven, the Moon Washing Sect chased and killed Gu Changqing back then, and it was with this thing as a reward, which shows its value.

Tang Tribulation is now about to pass three times, and for him, this is indeed the most meaningful elixir.

At this moment, Tang Zheng glanced at Zhao Hui, and then said confusedly: "You are ......"

Zhao Hui smiled: "After sitting for a hundred years, it's no wonder that my junior brother can't remember me, I'm Zhao Hui." ”

Tang Zheng knocked his head and smiled, "I'm sorry. By the way, I meditated for too long, and my legs and feet were inconvenient for a while, so I asked my senior brother to hand me the medicine. ”

"Good. Zhao Hui had already walked over and handed the medicine to Tang Zheng.

Looking at the Five Qi Dynasty Yuan Dan that was sent to him, Tang Zheng didn't answer, but just said, "Senior Brother, as a disciple of the Nongtang, can't he step up the stone steps?"

"En?" Zhao Hui said.

"Also, how does Senior Brother Zhao know that I have been sitting for a hundred years? You can only know that I have been sitting for eighty-one days. ”

Zhao Hui's face changed greatly, and he was about to move, when he heard a pounce, Tang Zheng's hand was already inserted in his abdomen.

Then Zhao Hui looked down, and his face suddenly became hideous: "Junior!"

With his terrible scream, Tang Zheng saw that his face had distorted into a large cloud of black smoke, forming a hideous demonic appearance.

Demons!

"Howl!" the heart demon howled wildly, but Tang Zheng just looked at it coldly.

Suddenly, the heart demon turned into the shape of a void Muyang, his whole body was covered in blood, and he roared loudly: "Give me back my life!"

At that moment, Tang Zheng seemed to have returned to more than twenty years ago, back to that Xiaohe Village.

He saw himself standing in front of Xumuyang, the young man, deceiving Xumuyang with such convincing words.

His heart moved slightly, and Tang Zheng's mind was stunned.

If he didn't have himself, Xu Muyang might not have died, right?

The next moment, he saw the scene change again, and a young man appeared in front of him.

He remembered that his name was Lin Lang.

He helped Wei Tianchong complete the first task when he fought for the True Legend.

For this reason, he forced Wei Tianchong to kill Lin Lang.

Although Lin Lang died voluntarily at that time, in Tang Zheng's heart, he still forced a good person to death after all, right?

He deceived himself, but he couldn't fool his heart.

In the depths of his heart, the seeds of uneasiness have long been planted.

The scene turned again, but this time it was on the Old Crow Ridge.

The dead disciples of the Cangshan Sect are still vividly remembered, and deep down, they always feel a little uneasy.

The scene is changed again, Xiaohu is missing, the Wei family is angry, the bloody battle on Leshan Island, and the bloody battle in Xianshan...... In the past ten years, in order to accumulate contributions, his hands have been stained with countless blood, and the past has been one by one, Tang Zheng found that unconsciously, there were so many regrets in his heart.

And so, he saw that the demon of his heart grew stronger, roaring and shouting madly, and splitting into innumerable numbers, and laughing loudly around him, as if to devour him completely.

"It's my demons. Tang Zheng understood.

Unlike before, this time it was not an illusion, but a real demon, but for some reason, their attack on themselves was still at the most superficial level.

This may be because Tang Zheng's strength has not reached the heart demon stage at all.

If that's the case......

Tang Zai's heart moved.

He suddenly understood.

Then he got up.

For the first time since he settled down on this high platform, he really took the initiative to get up.

Looking at the demons around him, he chanted aloud, and it was the scriptures that he had chanted for a full thirteen days and nights before.

Only this time, with his chant, Tang Zheng's whole person was like a divine light.

This light was real, and even the surrounding Nongtang disciples saw it.

They saw that Tang Zheng was like a god descending from heaven, and a qi appeared between his fingers, like a sword in his hand.

Then he just paddled down in front of him.

With this stroke, everyone seemed to hear a strange and strange whistling sound.

Obviously there was nothing, but everyone felt as if something had been destroyed at this moment, and the most strange thing was that the sky was originally extremely clear, but for some reason, everyone had a feeling that the haze had dissipated.

Only Tang Zheng is still standing on the high platform.

He looked at the sky and suddenly said, "How many days is this?"

The monkey's laughter sounded in midair: "Seventy-second day." Good boy, it's really amazing, before the eighty-first day, you can understand the wisdom sword and slash the heart demon, congratulations!"

Tang Zheng looked up and landed on the stone tablet in the distance.

This time, he can look at it boldly with confidence.

On the oldest stone tablet, four large characters are engraved:

Wisdom Sword Heart Sutra.

This is the method of the thirteen days he chanted before.

"Yun Zu's handwriting, Hui Jian Heart Sutra. Tang Zheng muttered.

The monkey had already laughed loudly: "This scripture is the original creation of Yunzu, and it is not recorded in the secret book of Shenxiao, but it is left here, and it is the best at overcoming demons and slaying demons." The inscription in the stele is the law, and the previous experience is the god. The law can be preached, but God can only comprehend it on his own. ”

"So, what I experienced before is also what Yun Zu experienced back then? Yes, the Heart Demon Period is the easiest to be promoted, and only at this time is it the most suitable for climbing the Water Moon Peak. I think Yun Zu broke through the demons in his heart here, advanced to the soul incarnation, and reached the top all the way, right?"

The monkey laughed: "It's good that you understand." What you have experienced is only an illusion after all, and it is not as dangerous as Yun Zu. But if you can experience the heart demon realm in advance, and use this realm to force out the immature heart demon, and slash it with one sword, it is destined to be much easier to pass the heart demon tribulation in the future. ”

"It's all thanks to the seniors. Tang Zheng said sincerely.

If it weren't for Luo Hanzhen and the monkey's help, he wouldn't have been able to do this anyway.

The monkey laughed and said, "In that case, what are you waiting for?

Tang Zheng was slightly stunned: "Go now, there is still enough time, why not wait......

"Not enough, not enough, in the Water Moon Cave Heaven, never say that there is still enough time! One hundred and thirty-eight meters from the peak, and see when you can reach the top!" said the monkey, laughing loudly.
