There is no such thing as good or evil in human's original desires, but they must be regulated, measured, and measured.
Indulging one's own desires often leads to bad consequences.
Such as hunger.
Hunger will instinctively prompt people to eat. Some people choose to rob others of their food, some choose to deceive others to enjoy the benefits, and some choose to work on their own.
Hunger is not evil, and plundering is evil. Slash-and-burn cultivation is the noble and righteous way derived from hunger.
Human beings are born with both the nature of gods and demons. They instinctively yearn for beauty, and they also instinctively possess the desire for destruction.
With just one thought, good and evil come back and forth, and gods and demons are in different places.
Therefore, a cage is needed to imprison the original desire and prevent it from breaking the rules.
Taming the original desire is the process of cultivating the mind.
The so-called anchoring the ape, tying the horse with intention, subduing the dragon and subduing the tiger, sitting on an empty mountain.
Taoism purifies the heart, Confucianism regulates etiquette, Buddhism observes precepts, Legalism establishes laws, military strategists make orders...essentially they are creating a moral cage to imprison the "evil self".
Jiang Wang recognized himself clearly and did not shy away from his original desires.
He admitted that there were times when he had evil thoughts, but in the end he was restrained by morality and personality.
He has seen the darkness of this world and understands the complexity of human nature, but in the end he can still calmly say "a thought blooms".
So in this seemingly endless darkness, there are really flowers blooming.
Flowers bloom all the way, and darkness keeps retreating.
This is the first spring after the end of eternal darkness.
Flowers bloom everywhere, and darkness ends at the horizon.
Then that familiar voice sounded.
[Ask the mind and eliminate the calamity].
【Frost Spring Grass】.
There will still be spring after eternal darkness, but by then the years will be old and spring grass will grow and frost will occur?
A hint of doubt flashed past.
Jiang Wang was stunned for a while, and then he suddenly realized that he had just passed through the calamity of questioning his mind.
This catastrophe is different from the previous catastrophes. There seems to be no real threat, but it is more terrifying than the previous catastrophes. It has happened unknowingly. Jiang Wang obviously took the initiative to enter the catastrophe, but he was still in the middle of the interrogation catastrophe. feel.
In the past, whether it was the Flying Snow Tribulation or the Overturning Sea Tribulation, no matter how difficult it was, at least everyone knew that they were entering a calamity and knew that they should work hard to deal with it. However, the Wenxin Tribulation was completely incomprehensible to people, and even if they died, they would not know how they died.
The reason why Jiang Wang was able to survive this disaster unscathed was largely due to luck.
First of all, it was because he had already experienced a torture of the Taoist mind at the Kureiyuan ruins, and he had some experience in resisting similar "questioning the mind".
What's more important is that at this time, Jiang Wang's Taoist heart was at its cleanest, most pure, and most flawless.
Because just before entering the tribulation, all his negativity had just been channeled by Zhuang Chengqian, giving birth to inner demons.
And this represents the inner demon of the dark side, which was eliminated by Zhuang Chengqian just now.
At this time, Jiang Wang can say that his heart is as clear as glass, and he is more unafraid to "ask the heart" than ever before!
Coincidentally, it was Zhuang Chengqian's attack on Jiang Wang that helped Jiang Wang survive this disaster safely.
Among the flowers, Jiang Wang could clearly feel that the source of the soul that he had actively cut before was quickly replenished.
The feeling of lack deep in the soul finally dissipated. Both body and mind were satisfied. This feeling was intoxicating.
Just like after eternal darkness, spring grass grows and spring flowers bloom, "flowers" are also blooming in the soul.
It was a vigorous and powerful growth, and the soul became tougher and stronger.
If it was the quantity of the power of the soul that was improved after the tribulation before, after the tribulation of asking the heart, it was the quality of the power of the soul that was improved.
If you use the Divine Soul Hidden Snake to express it intuitively, you can still release about 3,000 Divine Soul Hidden Snakes, but each Divine Soul Hidden Snake will be ten times stronger than the previous one.
Jiang Wang didn't have time to appreciate himself carefully, let alone observe the changes in the red mirror. After successfully overcoming the tribulation, he immediately left the world in the mirror and returned to Tongtian Palace.
He wanted to take advantage of Zhuang Chengqian to wipe out his foundation in Tongtian Palace before he could survive the calamity of questioning his heart, join the battle between Sauvignon Blanc Sword Spirit and Ming Zhu, and completely destroy Ming Zhu!
This is a chance to win or lose!
…
…
"Spring flowers bloom, autumn moon white..."
A gentle and gentle female voice was singing.
That song is so sweet, and that voice is so familiar.
Zhuang Chengqian sat on the ground casually, tilting his head slightly and looking forward quietly.
Ahead is the only light in this endless darkness.
There was a graceful figure there, wearing a white dress and black hair like a waterfall.
She stood next to a weeping willow tree, seemingly overwhelmed by the evening breeze.
The singing voice is so moving that it makes people feel intoxicated, like a dream.
Not to mention the Feixue Tribulation, when Jiang Wang entered the mirror world for the second time, he explicitly asked Qiang Xiang to supervise.
Among the known information, Zhuang Chengqian did not know Jiang Wang's experience in the mirror world, but he knew two things clearly. First, entering the mirror world is dangerous, and second, every time he comes out,
Jiang Wang's soul power will grow. From this, it can be seen that the world in the mirror must be related to the soul, and there may be some kind of test for the soul.
So when he was pulled into the mirror world, he immediately used the secret method of soul protection to protect his soul.
But Wenxin Jie did not attack him, but acted like a mirror, reflecting his true self and the deepest and most secret regrets in his heart.
He seems to have been tricked too.
At this moment, looking at that figure and listening to the singing, I felt intoxicated.
Who has no regrets in this world?
Who hasn’t had pain, who hasn’t had sad moments?
Even if you are a real person or a hero of your generation, you will inevitably look back in embarrassment in the dead of night.
"The flowers are blooming in spring, and the moon is white in autumn. A touch of snow is very hard to bear. It's lovesickness."
The woman is singing.
She sang——
"The bright light falls and passes in the mirror. A hundred years of life and death, three lifetimes of mistakes. Who is laughing at me?"
The song was filled with sweetness, sadness, affection, and longing.
Zhuang Chengqian was stunned for a moment.
How many years have you not heard this thoughtful little song?
In this life, he did not regret betraying the Yong Kingdom and tearing apart the country to stand on his own. He did not regret breaking the hidden promise, disrupting the order of the Western Region, and introducing Taoist forces. He did not regret all the utilization, planning, exchange and abandonment.
From a nobody, he grew up step by step to an invincible general. From a general, he crossed the greatest threshold and became an emperor.
Some things must be given up, and some choices must be made.
The situation in the Western Region at that time was surrounded by heroes, and all resources had been divided up. If you wanted any resource, you had to grab it from someone else's bowl. It was extremely difficult to establish a new state.
As long as he makes one wrong step, he will not be able to achieve Zhuang Guo.
He has been steadfast and has no regrets along the way.
But there was only one thing and one person that he really felt guilty about.
He couldn't deny it, and he couldn't help but face it.
That person was right in front of him.
The singing was right in his ears.
"Wanxi..." he murmured.
The more beautiful the woman sang, the more intoxicated he became.
The darkness becomes deeper and deeper.
This darkest mirror world seems to want to assimilate Zhuang Chengqian into it.
Zhuang Chengqian's feet disappeared first, turning into darkness. Then came his torso and then his arms.
Little by little, he melted into the darkness.
The darkness slowly climbed up, up my neck, and to my lower lip.
finally.
Zhuang Chengqian opened his mouth.
"Who in the world can be guilt-free? If he goes to the sea of suffering, he will overturn his body."
He chewed the words slowly.
Then he stood up.
Most of his body had been destroyed.
But as he tried to stand up.
His torso and legs are all revealed again.
It's like he... pulled himself back from the darkness of the mirror world!
