"What Ning Chen said makes sense." Lu Xiao nodded.
Xu Xianglong and the young military expert also nodded in unison.
They all came from the human world, where their souls experienced eight hardships and tribulations before finally awakening and returning to their true nature.
So they understand that maybe they are just like in the human world at this moment, but their souls are experiencing these things, and the physical body at this time is just an illusion. Even if the physical body is corrupted and experiences the five declines of heaven and man, there is actually no damage to their body.
Of course, if the five degenerations of heaven and man also include the soul, and the soul cannot bear it, then once you die here, there is no point in keeping the body intact.
"Most likely." Xu Xianglong also said: "If the soul is so easy to 'immortal', it only needs to enter reincarnation. Then wouldn't the people who died here have already been 'immortal' and have passed this level?"
This is obviously not the case.
If it was so easy to pass, then the "death trial" wouldn't be called a "death trial".
Most of these people are really dead.
It is difficult to say whether their physical bodies are real at this time, but their souls are obviously not strong enough to be reincarnated and live forever. Most likely their souls are annihilated.
Therefore, if you want to truly "eternal life" and pass this test, you need to understand the four words "pure heart and no desires".
"But Ning Chen." Xu Minghe asked: "How should we verify this? According to your inference just now, if you want to pass this level, you must experience the five declines of heaven and man. What if it is wrong? What if?
After understanding the four words "pure heart and no desires", the soul cannot live forever?"
Yes, this is equivalent to risking your life.
And even if it is successful, the soul's "eternal life" will only return to the original body, or enter the next level, and the body will eventually decay. So how do other people know whether this method is feasible?
It can't all depend on luck.
"It's not impossible to verify." Ning Chen smiled and said: "If the soul is 'eternal', it will probably have to experience the five declines of heaven and man. After all, this is the law of reincarnation, but it is only a natural law, and it is definitely not a punishment from the stone tablet."
Hearing this, several people were suddenly stunned.
If you follow the right path, the five declines of heaven and man are just natural laws, not punishments imposed by stone tablets.
Therefore, it is very simple to verify whether you are on the right path. As long as the stone tablet does not respond, you will naturally experience the five declines of heaven and man, your body will wither, and your soul will become "eternal", which means you have successfully passed this level.
Of course, there are risks. The first person to try is the most dangerous. If these guesses are wrong, he will be dead.
Several people hesitated for a while, who would come first?
"Don't worry, someone will help us verify it." Ning Chen smiled and walked up to Liu Shitian.
Seeing Ning Chen coming over again, Liu Shitian subconsciously covered his face. He couldn't resist, because it would arouse the three poisons of "greed, anger, and ignorance". He could only endure it, and he had to calm his heart and let himself not care.
Be calm, pure and without desires.
Ning Chen smiled and said: "Don't be nervous, I won't hit you, I just want to discuss something with you. Do you want to leave here?"
"What do you mean?" Liu Shitian was surprised.
"Listen to me and tell you slowly." Ning Chen explained his speculation and said: "I think you should give it a try. Instead of sitting here until you die, you might as well try my method. Maybe you can get through it."
What about this test?"
Liu Shitian tried hard to keep his mood calm, but he still couldn't help but his face twitched and said: "You think I'm a fool, don't you? I'm a guinea pig for you?"
Ning Chen spread his hands: "Then there is nothing we can do. To be honest, I have a big grudge against your Liu family, and I have wanted to kill you for a long time. Believe it or not, I will slap you a hundred times right now, and then slap you again.
If you take a piss, I don't believe you can still maintain a pure mind and no desires."
"You..." Liu Shitian gritted his teeth and almost broke his guard.
If Ning Chen really did this, he would definitely no longer be able to keep his pure heart and have no desires. When the time comes, he would be punished by a stone tablet and turn into a mummy.
This seems to be death anyway.
"Don't think about it." Ning Chen patted his shoulder, "You still have a chance of survival if you listen to me. If you don't listen to me, you will die immediately. Do you still need to consider this? I just decided happily."
Is this happiness?
Liu Shitian was almost going to kill someone. He was a sixth-level warrior, and Ning Chen was only a fourth-level warrior. If he hadn't been here, he would have cut Ning Chen into pieces.
It's a pity that this is the way of heaven and humanity. Cultivation is not the key point, the key point is the state of mind. He doesn't dare to kill people, and he doesn't even dare to get angry.
Xu Xianglong also came over and put his arm around Liu Shitian's shoulders: "Brother, don't hesitate. We are all our own people and will definitely not harm you. We are helping you and helping you get through this. You should thank us."
Yes, you think so?"
I......
Liu Shitian's lips parted, but he didn't even dare to curse.
In the end, he chose to accept it, because there was no other way. If he didn't accept it, he might be humiliated immediately, arouse the "three poisons", and turn into a mummy.
Of course, he also hopes to kill Ning Chen before turning into a mummy, but he only has a little hope. Ning Chen has killed someone in the sixth level, so he is not that easy to kill.
If you don't compromise, the fish may not die, but the net will definitely break.
Compromise, you may die, but you may also live.
So Liu Shitian still chose to compromise. He began to stare at the stone tablet and tried to understand the four words "a pure heart and no desires."
Others also looked at the stone tablet, including Ning Chen and others, who were all meditating on "a pure heart without desires".
However, it is just a stone tablet with a few words, which is not so easy to understand.
Some people meditate for several days and get nothing.
There are also some people who have some understanding, such as Ning Chen.
"This stone tablet is really not that simple." Ning Chen thought to himself. He found that this stone tablet was not that simple. In addition to emitting a strange beam of light and turning people into mummies, it also contained a special wave, which was very weak and gentle.
It's mysterious. Capturing and understanding this kind of fluctuation and letting your soul resonate with it can have unexpected effects.
The soul seems to be growing and becoming clearer.
Ning Chen has experienced this feeling because he has practiced the "Shangqing Dao Jue". The Qi Refiner refines Qi and God, and has unique insights into the soul. When he reaches a certain level, he cultivates Yuanying and Yuanshen, and pursues the immortality of Yuanshen.
, in fact, the soul is immortal.
Therefore, he was able to clearly capture the strange fluctuations on the stone tablet that resonated with the soul and brought about changes in the soul.
This is much harder for others to do.
In fact, Ning Chen had studied the stone tablet before, but he didn't think about it, so he always ignored the soul resonance.
At this moment, Ning Chen adjusts his state of mind, letting it be in a state of pure heart and no desire, to feel the fluctuations, and let the soul resonate with it, as if the soul is breathing, practicing, growing and growing silently.
This feeling was amazing, and it made Ning Chen even more convinced that his guess was correct - this was the way to get through this level.
Later, Ning Chen told Xu Xianglong and others the method, but did not make it public. Can others understand what it has to do with him?
