Long Chen looked at the lotus seed that gathered the power of a world, and his heart suddenly beat wildly. This lotus seed was probably a divine artifact that defied the heavens.
"Senior, I saved the little guy just out of my heart. I never thought about any reward..." Although this is a divine object, but accepting the gift like this, Long Chen always feels uneasy.
"No, no, no, this is not a reward, let alone a transaction, this should be fate and a cause and effect.
The lotus seeds in the lotus world have just matured, and you came, and you just need it, this is fate." The woman said with a slight smile.
Long Chen looked at the lotus seed in his hand. It seemed to be made of pure gold, but it had no weight and was just floating there quietly.
I couldn't sense its power, but it seemed to give people endless power. Although I didn't know its origin, Long Chen saw that the power of the entire lotus world poured into its body. This lotus seed was absolutely
It's a priceless treasure.
"Senior, when you say I need it, you mean..." Long Chen couldn't help but ask.
The woman smiled: "Your life is very painful. Half of your body is darkness and half is light. You are trying to maintain its balance, as if you are facing an abyss or walking on thin ice.
You have killed countless creatures, and you know that you are right, but you are afraid that you have killed the wrong good person, and will regret it for the rest of your life, which will lead to a sinking mood and a path to evil.
You are trying to maintain your original intention, but the more cautious you are, the harder it will be, and you will constantly increase the burden on yourself. A person's power can be infinite, but that is relative to external forces.
But no matter how strong a person is, he keeps adding burdens to himself, and one day he will eventually collapse.
It should be noted: Bodhi has no tree, and the mirror is not a stand. It is nothing, so where can it cause dust?"
Long Chen's heart was shocked. Long Chen had heard this poem when he was very young. In the academy of Tianwu Continent, it was a compulsory question.
The Bodhi tree, also known as the tree of wisdom and the mirror platform, refers to those who have a pure mind, keep their original mind and observe their heart, and the spiritual platform will appear. The mirror platform is also called the spiritual platform among practitioners.
There are two poems in total, written by two people respectively. One of them is: The body is like a bodhi tree, and the heart is like a mirror stand. I always brush it diligently to prevent it from causing dust.
This is an attitude of being cautious in words and deeds and practicing hard, just like Long Chen now. He is afraid that he will make a little mistake and cause his Taoist heart to become dusty. He keeps cleaning it every day. As the woman said, it feels like facing an abyss.
Walking on thin ice, cautious, not daring to make any mistakes.
The other poem was written by another person. The meaning is equally easy to understand, but the realm is completely different.
There is no bodhi tree, and the mirror is not a stand. It is nothing. Where can it attract dust? What bodhi tree? What is a mirror stand? That is nonsense. There is nothing in the first place. You are always brushing it and brushing it off?
Who are you showing it to? You don’t even have hair, so what kind of dust can you cause?
Long Chen didn't expect that the unknown senior in front of him would know this poem he had heard when he was a child. When he woke him up, Long Chen suddenly felt enlightened.
He bowed to the woman and said respectfully, "Thank you, senior, for your advice. I suddenly understood."
At this time, Long Chen seemed to have broken the curse, broke free from the shackles, and his whole person became relaxed.
In the past, he had always been worried that he would become a demon. He would always be cautious in everything he did and constantly calculate how to limit the growth of his inner demon. This mentality itself was a manifestation of being possessed by a demon.
Therefore, Long Chen is indeed very tired from life now, and he no longer has the high-spirited and energetic feeling he had when he left the Fengming Empire.
But now, after the woman's guidance, Long Chen seems to have returned to those unrestrained days. His body is full of vitality and he is full of confidence in himself. At this moment, Long Chen feels that the world is full of sunshine, dispelling the pain deep in his heart.
haze.
The woman smiled: "You have to keep this lotus seed. It will be of great use to you. Put it away."
"Thank you, senior."
Long Chen thanked him again and sent the lotus seed into the chaotic space. Long Chen buried it in the soil, hoping that it would grow more golden lotuses in the future.
Because Long Chen discovered that the golden lotus here contained rich power of fire, and this power of fire seemed to be the most primitive flame. Although he didn't know how to use it, Long Chen knew that this was absolutely amazing.
s things.
"Buzz"
But what Long Chen didn't expect was that the lotus seed actually broke out of the ground, flew directly into the sky, and stopped above the chaotic world, where it stopped and then became motionless.
While it was still, it slowly bloomed with soft light, and the chaotic world was dyed with a golden glow because of it.
The chaotic world did not change because of it, but the moment its golden glory bloomed, Long Chen seemed to be reborn, and his essence, energy, and spirit were instantly raised to the peak.
Long Chen is changing, but he doesn't know where he is changing. The feeling is so mysterious that he can't explain it clearly. He feels so relaxed, as if all dangers are nothing. No matter how big the difficulty is, he has the confidence to face it.
right.
"Don't call me senior. According to the human race, my surname should be Gong. You can call me Aunt Gong." Seeing the golden glow on Long Chen's face, the woman smiled and nodded.
"Auntie"
Long Chen said respectfully. For this kind elder, Long Chen was full of gratitude. Let alone what this lotus seed was, he benefited a lot from her advice alone. However, Long Chen
Little does he know that the gong she talks about and the palace he talks about are completely different concepts.
"Good boy, don't put too much burden on yourself. In fact, the world is not that complicated.
There are good people in the world, but evil spirits are dancing around, and the fate of good people is at risk. A saint should be born to protect the way of kind sentient beings.
Those who work for sentient beings should not be allowed to freeze to death in the wind and snow; those who open the way for kindness should not be trapped in dangerous situations.
You are the one who holds the salary and the one who opens the way, but there are too few people who can help you, so your road is more difficult than others.
When people are weak, they are the most bad, so often there is no need to distinguish between good and evil, and you can unswervingly realize your ideals.
Because among kind people, there are also fools. When kind people are stupid, they can even cause greater disasters than evil people. It is not uncommon for good intentions to do bad things and harm the common people.
In the world, only the merits of heaven are the fairest. You cannot escape punishment just because you have a kind heart and commit crimes.
The way of merit is to only remember the results, not the process. You only need to know that your path is for the sake of the world, not for your own selfish desires, so just go ahead and do it without any scruples." The woman's jade hand caressed Long Chen.
cheeks, solemnly.
At this time, she was like a mother, telling her child, don't be afraid, you are right.
At that moment, Long Chen's eyes were red and tears almost fell out. She seemed to be able to see through his heart, his soul, and see all his grievances. Even Long Chen, a tough man, couldn't bear it.
"Good boy, go and return to your world. The brilliance of the golden lotus will always shine on you, and you will never be alone." The woman looked at Long Chen and encouraged him.
Long Chen nodded, bowed to the woman again, turned around and stepped into the door of space.
