Chapter 32: Selection I
The Demon Wish is something that every servant must give before entering the academy - the family is not stupid enough to believe you just by your words.
Compared with the promise of red lips and white teeth, the demon wish is obviously a more binding existence.
The heart demon wish is divided into big wishes and small wishes, such as the great wish of the Heaven Destroying God Palace issued by Tang Zheng at the beginning, which is a big wish, and Xu Muyang was rescued by Tang Zheng at the beginning, but it was cause and effect, so he couldn't even call it a "wish", it could only be called a wish.
Unwilling is like opening the door to do business, success or not, it is only the business of one or two customers, basically has no effect, and trying to maintain it is only a matter of habit.
Small wishes are ordinary wishes, just like the company's contract sales, each one is much more critical, and losing a sum may not be fatal, but it will inevitably have serious consequences and impacts, and it is easy not to be negligent and slack.
Once it is not completed, it may face the bank to collect money, the turnover is not effective, and it will go bankrupt directly.
Therefore, a great wish should not be made lightly, but making a great wish can help a cultivator strengthen his Dao heart, establish a foundation of his heart, and make his cultivation path smoother.
This is the nature of the will.
May there be a nature and a content.
"I make a big vow that every meal must have meat from now on!"
This kind of nonsense can also be called a big wish, but it doesn't make sense, it's asking for trouble for yourself, but it won't bring benefits.
And a wish like "I make a great wish, I will destroy the Heavenly Divine Palace", this is a wish to destroy demons, and it will not bring any benefits when Tang Tribulation cultivates, but he will get additional help when he is against the people of the Heavenly Divine Palace in the future, as for how the help is manifested, it is different from person to person.
"I make a great wish to break all the laws in the world" is a kind of law-breaking wish, which does not mean that he can really break the world's ten thousand laws, but it can provide additional assistance when he breaks the law. It's just that his great wish is magical, not only can he make a temporary wish every time he fights, but he can also modify his grand wish, and even the price he pays after violating his wish is much smaller than that of ordinary people.
As for seeking eternal life and seeking leisure, this is called the fundamental wish, and it is the root of the cultivator's lifelong pursuit, so the vast majority of the grand wishes are the fundamental wish.
The great wish is the form, the wish to destroy the demons, the fundamental wish, and the wish to break the law are the content, which can be made into a big wish or a small wish.
The servants of the major families, before entering the school, will generally make a wish to the family, this kind of wish is called a wish to repay kindness, and the specific content is different.
Because it involves the Immortal Base Dao Fruit, the family generally does not force servants to learn to make big wishes, but small wishes are still necessary, but if someone is willing to make big wishes, it will not be stopped.
The reason why Tang Zheng thinks that Shimo still has a chance is because of this demonic wish.
In the past, Shimo thought that he still had a chance, and he would definitely not raise his promise to ask for admission, but this incident, Shimo was on the cusp again, which made him realize that he could no longer be chosen by his wife, and he would no longer be superstitious about his identity as a "secretary".
When people are in a desperate situation, they often fight against the water.
In order to enter the academy, the only way for Shimo to improve his return commitment is to make the highest level of reciprocal wish in the form of grand wishes - increase the interest rate when you can't borrow money, and there will never be a shortage of venture capitalists in the world!
Of course, not everyone can do that.
You have to have the qualifications to do that.
And those who are really qualified are not all willing to make such a choice.
How dangerous is the road to cultivating immortals, if you work hard just to be a high-level minion, it is better to spend your life in peace.
But Tang Zheng knew that it was very likely that Dao Shimo would do so.
Because he knew Shimo, he could see the desire to get ahead in Shimo's eyes, the desire for power.
For this, even if he sells half his life, he will fight for it.
At this moment, hearing the four words of the Demon Great Wish, Steward Qin also suddenly woke up, and frowned: "If this is the case, it is indeed a bit troublesome, but it really can't be done, so you can only do the same." ”
"It's just a matter of consumption, just like an auction, depending on who pays a higher price, this kind of pursuit at any cost is not a matter of life and death, it is unnecessary. Tang Zheng shook his head and said: "I trust the blessing of the Wei family, if I can go to the Moon Washing Academy in the future, I will definitely repay the Wei family, but I don't plan to sell the rest of my life yet...... Uncle Qin knows that my life's ambition is to be free and easy, although I have not yet laid the foundation with this vow, but I have remembered my heart. If I sell the rest of my life in order to cultivate immortals, I have already violated my original intention, and even if I embark on the path of immortals, it is not interesting. Therefore, this temporary servant, for a while, I can accept it, eternal life is like this, absolutely not!"
"No matter how ambitious your ambition is, you have to enter the Immortal Gate, what's the use if you can't enter?"
"It's not necessarily that you can't get in, if you want to break the demon wish of Shimo, there is a simplest way, but I don't really want to use it. ”
"What's the solution?"
Tang Zai said with a smile: "Actually, the Wei family is not a family of immortal cultivators, and they don't really understand the Demon Wish. I was fortunate enough to come into contact with the immortals, and I knew something about the Great Wish of the Demons. ”
"Have you come into contact with an immortal?" Steward Qin was taken aback.
"Yes. Tang Zheng nodded: "It's just a chance encounter, we got along for a few days, and I was also instructed by him, and I knew something about the immortal cultivation world." As far as I know, there are actually many constraints on the Great Wish of the Heart, and its effect is far less than everyone thinks. ”
"What do you mean by that?"
"Uncle Qin can know the Dao, why do immortal cultivators have demons in their hearts?"
“...... Ignorance. "Qin Yuan is just an ordinary steward, and he can know that the Lu Dao Heart Demon Tribulation is that he is well-informed, where can he know what the Lu Dao will do.
Tang Zai smiled and replied: "Cultivating the Five Realms of Immortals, Lingtai, Defan, Tianxin, Zifu, and Sendai, among which Lingtai cultivates qi, opens up the spiritual sea in the body, absorbs spiritual energy, and generates various spells through the use of spiritual energy. However, this kind of spell can only be carried out through its own consumption, and it does not change much to itself, to put it bluntly, it is just a means of using qi, just like the difference between mortals with weapons and without weapons. When they reach the realm of detachment and open the bridge between heaven and earth, the cultivator can use the aura in his body to mobilize the aura of heaven and earth to cast spells, at this time, the aura in his body is just an introduction, a boost. Manpower has a limit, and the power of heaven and earth is unlimited, so the immortal master at this time really has the ability to go to heaven and earth. In addition, another difference between the Mortal Realm and the Lingtai is that you can use the aura to refine yourself and be reborn. So Uncle Qin can know the Dao, what is the cultivation of the Heavenly Mind Realm?"
Steward Qin shook his head blankly.
"Actually, the Heavenly Mind Realm is to further refine on the basis of refining itself, but at this level, what they want to refine is no longer the body, but the ......" Tang Zheng pointed to his head.
Steward Qin's heart trembled: "Head?"
"The brain, to be exact, is the consciousness. Although the realm of detachment from the mortal body is detached, the head is still the key point, the heart will not die if it is damaged, and the head is gone, but it is still dead, just because it is still ordinary here. The brain is the most sophisticated place in the human body, even those immortals who have gone to heaven and earth in the realm of the mortal realm cannot be refined at will, and they must wait until the heart of heaven is successful, and they can proceed step by step. Once you have achieved something, you will have spiritual thoughts, and then you will have divine thoughts. The so-called spiritual thoughts or divine thoughts are actually our invisible consciousness that has become a tangible existence. ”
Hearing this, Steward Qin suddenly realized: "You mean that this is how the Heart Demon Tribulation came?"
"That's right. Heavenly state of mind to cultivate spiritual thoughts, turning the invisible into the tangible, accompanied by the same formless into tangible demons, the demons in our hearts have been repentant and annoyed those thoughts, in the process of the transformation of the spiritual mind into a new mind, born out of nothing, born into nurture and born, to put it bluntly, it is just the difference between divine thoughts and demon thoughts, just like the good and evil sides of people. Divine thoughts are controllable, cultivating to the highest depths, that is, thinking about heaven and earth, there is no need to pinch the magic tricks, one thought is born, ten thousand laws arise, this is the Purple Mansion Realm. Demon thoughts are uncontrollable, and they will only eat their own bodies, so the heart demon tribulation is actually a great tribulation that can only occur when they reach the heavenly state of mind. ”
"That means that if it's just an ordinary spirit master, they're not afraid of the Heart Demon Tribulation?"
"I'm afraid, I'm afraid, but I'm just afraid that I'm doing too much bad things now, and I'll always take revenge after entering the heavenly state of mind in the future. But if you make up your mind to stop and stop and don't seek progress, then you really don't have to be afraid. ”
Steward Qin felt chills all over his body when he heard this: "But the spirit master at home has never said this." ”
"What do they have to say for Lu?" Tang Zheng asked rhetorically: "When they enter the Wei Mansion, they also want to make a wish, since they have made a wish, the remuneration will naturally be higher, who will eat enough to tell the master, I don't plan to enter the heavenly state of mind in my life, don't take my demon wish seriously?"
"......" Steward Qin was completely speechless.
Tang Zheng said with a smile: "Actually, this kind of thing, the old immortal cultivation families all know the Dao, but no one will say it, after all, it is easy to offend people, you must know that there are many spirit masters in the Dao, but they rely on this to eat." After all, the Wei family has only been in power for a short time, and they don't have their own spirit master, so many things are not clear. Moreover, those spirit masters may not have the intention to deceive, and there are many spirit masters who have not reached that step, and they may not know the Dao. ”
"What is this for?" Qin Yuan was curious, how could it be that even the spirit master didn't know the Dao?
"Because cultivation itself is an extremely dangerous thing, the slightest carelessness will lead to madness. If you know the cultivation path in the later stage of the Dao too early, it is very likely that there will be cultivators who take risks and try it, and it may just be a momentary curiosity, but the outcome is often tragic! For the sake of safety, ordinary masters will not tell their juniors about this too early, and even those who know the Dao will be warned not to talk about it, and not to try it lightly. ”
"Then how do you ......?"
"That immortal didn't plan to accept me as an apprentice, and I still don't know any immortal methods, so I just chatted casually. Maybe in his mind, I would never have been able to enter the academy in my life. Tang Zai replied with a smile.
In fact, the reason why Xu Muyang told him these things was because he liked his calm personality and believed that he would not come nonsense, and on the other hand, he drank a few more glasses of wine that day, and he was defenseless against Tang Zheng, so he said it after talking too much. In this way, he regretted it to death afterwards, and repeatedly reminded Tang Zheng not to try. Fortunately, Tang Zheng doesn't think that he is a person who can succeed in anything against the sky, and he never neglects it when it comes to safety.
Steward Qin paced a few steps repeatedly, shook his head and said, "No, this matter must be told to Mrs." ”
"Forget it. Tang Zheng persuaded him: "If you really say it, won't you be hated by those spirit masters for the rest of your life......? They want to kill you, but you don't know how to die. In fact, those spirit masters may not have the idea of impacting the heavenly state of mind, as long as there is still a glimmer of hope, who is really willing to stop? Therefore, the inner demon wish still has a certain meaning, but don't take it too seriously, let alone rely on it. ”
Hearing this, Steward Qin could only sigh: "I hope they don't know it themselves." You're right, if I go and poke it out, it doesn't matter if they know the way or don't know it, it's not a good thing, and it will be even worse if I accidentally hurt someone. Or the wife is shrewd, and has never pinned her loyalty on the demon wishes, and has always said that the demon wishes are important, and human nature is equally important, and the two-pronged approach can ensure the safety of the family. ”
"That's it. Tang Zai smiled: "That person who really has brains never believes in things he doesn't understand, and his wife is still wise!"
"But since you can't say it, and Shi Mo's great wish can't be stopped, then you can only choose to follow Shi Mo, it's a big deal to stop being out of the ordinary for the rest of your life, and it's better than not being able to enter the fairy gate. ”
It's a pity that Tang Zheng is unwilling: "I won't bet on the future, in fact, even if the Wei family really doesn't choose me, I have the confidence to enter the Immortal Gate, but it will be a lot of trouble." ”
Hearing this, Steward Qin was stunned: "You said you have other ways to enter the Immortal Gate?"
Tang Zheng replied: "Of course, Wen Xinguo is not only the Moon Washing Sect, and he can't enter the Moon Washing Academy, so can't I go to other sects? Not to mention ......"
He wanted to say What's more, I still have a way to win Shi Mo, but he didn't expect that Steward Qin grabbed Tang Zheng without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said excitedly: "That means that you know how to enter the other faction? I beg you something, you must help me!"
"Uncle Qin, what are you doing here?" Tang Zheng was stunned, he had never seen Steward Qin so excited, especially when he actually used the word "begging" to himself?
Steward Qin was already excited: "Please help Fourth Miss! she wants to cultivate immortals and is about to go crazy!"
———————————————
In the dimly lit cabin, Wei Die sat nervously in front of Tang Zheng, and next to him sat the equally nervous Steward Qin.
Rubbing his hands, Steward Qin said a little embarrassedly: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiao Zheng, Fourth Miss, I have always watched her grow up, treat her, in fact, I have always regarded her as a daughter." Over the years, the fourth lady has been a woman, but she has no chance to cultivate immortals, she feels uncomfortable, and I am anxious when I look at it......"
"I know that the year the fourth lady was born was also the year that Sister Xiaoru died, right?" Tang Zai said lightly.
Steward Qin shuddered for a moment, lowered his head and sobbed softly.
Steward Qin originally had a daughter named Qin Ru, who was Qin Yuan's only daughter.
In the year Wei Die was born, Qin Ru fell seriously ill and died. At that time, it was the busiest time when Wei Die had just been born, and the people in the Wei Mansion were the busiest, and Qin Yuan didn't even have time to take a look at his daughter.
This was a great blow to Qin Yuan.
A girl, a daughter died, just after Wei Die was born, Qin Yuan found that Wei Die was somewhat similar to his daughter, so he involuntarily put all his feelings on this girl, in his heart, there was always an idea, that is, Wei Die may be the reincarnation of his daughter, although in fact, Wei Die was born earlier than Qin Ru died, Qin Yuan automatically ignored this and regarded it as the reincarnation of his own daughter.
Over the years, his fatherly affection for Wei Die has never been a secret, it's just that Steward Qin himself thought it was a secret, and it wasn't until Tang Zheng said it lightly at this moment that Steward Qin trembled and lowered his head and cried softly.
After a while, Steward Qin said: "Xiao Zheng, if you really have a way, teach the fourth young lady, how to enter the immortal gate, as long as you help this wish, you don't owe me anything in the future......"
"Uncle Qin......"
Wei Die and Tang Zheng had already shouted at the same time.
Wei Die was moved, in the matter of cultivating immortals, even her biological father Wei Qingsong had never worked so hard, but Steward Qin really tried his best and did not let go of a chance.
Tang Zheng was slightly dissatisfied: "Uncle Qin regards me as someone, they are all his own people, what do you owe or not?" Fourth Miss, I will definitely do my best, but whether it can be done or not depends on her own after all." ”
Wei Die hurriedly said: "I want to cultivate immortals, no matter what hardship, I am willing to eat!"
"If you are willing to endure hardships and be able to cultivate immortals, then wouldn't it be that all the immortals in the world are poor? Could it be that the rich family can endure more hardships than those who farm?" Tang Zheng replied disdainfully.
Wei Die's face turned red, and he could only say, "Then what do you say?"
"If you want to enter the Immortal Gate, you must first establish a goal, Fourth Miss, let me ask you, what do you want to cultivate Immortal ...... for?"
Wei Die thought about it seriously for a while before replying: "I want to cultivate immortals because I am not convinced, why can men but not women? This is not fair, and becoming an immortal is free and easy, and it is also a pursuit in itself." ”
"So you cultivate immortals, just to seek fairness and freedom?"
"Yes, fairness and freedom!" Wei Die said categorically.
"Well, then I'll ask you, what do you think of you as a person? I mean, what do you think of your temperament?"
"Huh?" Wei Die didn't expect Tang Zheng to ask this question, and after a while, he finally muttered, "I think...... I should be a good ...... Good girl, don't you......"
Wei Die was really embarrassed to say this self-praise, and when he said the last few words, his face was already red with shame, and he didn't dare to look at Tang Zheng when he lowered his head.
Qin Yuan was still busy saying: "Die'er is a good child, with a gentle temperament, and she is also very generous to her subordinates. ”
Tang Zheng said lightly: "It doesn't matter what you said." ”
"Huh?" This time it was Qin Yuan who spoke up.
Tang Zai replied: "Your feelings for Miss Four will prevent you from making a fair evaluation, so your evaluation can't be counted, what kind of person is Miss Four, you still need to observe with your eyes, analyze with your heart, and test it with time, in my opinion, Miss Four is still a little far from this generous evaluation." ”
Wei Die's face was already flushed: "Tang Zheng, I came to beg you in person today because Uncle Qin said that you have a way to help me step into the immortal gate, not for you to insult me." What does what you are asking have to do with me stepping into the Immortal Gate?"
"Of course it does. If you can't get into the Moon Washing Academy, you can only retreat to the second, but Wenxin is the only big faction and countless small factions, so which faction to enter needs to be carefully considered. I know that for you, as long as you can enter the Immortal Sect, you can do it, but there are some things that you are afraid of being in a hurry. If you don't take it seriously now, I'm afraid you'll regret it in the future. The fourth miss is actually like a person who is about to starve to death now, even if she catches a bite to eat, she will be hungry, but I can't choose the fairy gate for the young lady at will. The fourth lady needs to know that cultivating immortals is not so simple, starting from the basics, every step must be careful, once you make a mistake, you may lose the opportunity for the rest of your life. ”
As he spoke, Tang Zheng had already taken out a piece of paper from his body, and Wei Die saw that there was a rank word written on it, and it was a variety of sects of Wen Xinguo other than the Moon Washing Sect.
Tang Zheng put the paper on the table and said, "Except for the Moon Washing Sect, which is the only big faction, there are hundreds of other large and small immortal sects in Wen Xinguo. But the eldest lady can know that among these hundreds of sects, there are actually very few that can really lead to the avenue. Some exercises may have been practiced well at the time, but they deviated from the Great Dao and laid the wrong foundation, and no matter how hard they worked in the future, their achievements would be limited. The direction of life is very important, and if you go the wrong way, it will be the opposite direction. So the first question I asked Miss Four was to know if Miss Lu Dao was aspiring to the avenue. If the fourth lady is not here, then let's find the easiest one to get into, and just make do with it. ”
"How can that work?" Wei Die had already shouted: "I want to be fair, but I don't want to be fooled!"
"Well said. Tang Zheng shook the paper in his hand again: "There are a total of twenty-two sects on it, which I specially selected and I think have a future in cultivation." Since the fourth lady asked for the Great Dao, she had to start with these twenty-two sects. ”
"Wait. Steward Qin was a little confused: "How do you know that these twenty-two sects can cultivate the Great Dao, but the others cannot?"
Tang Zheng replied: "Look at history." ”
"Look at history?"
The two were confused by Tang Zheng's answer.
"Yes, look at history! Heaven is unpredictable, and the future cannot be pushed, but the future always repeats history. So if you can understand history, you will be able to understand the future!"
