Two hundred and twentieth-sixth upper heart tower (below)
Xiaobai followed Xu Qingmu, hesitating to speak. She wanted to speak out several times, but still stopped. The Xu Qingmu in front of her made her feel a sense of fear from the bottom of her heart, like a dormant beast, hiding a deep secret for some time.
The wildness under calm will burst out, just walking ahead alone, indifferently stepping onto the next level of the heart.
Xiaobai followed closely, feeling uneasy. She didn't know what kind of bond the man who committed suicide had with her son. But judging from Xu Qingmu's performance, the person named Lin Zhenbei must be the most important person in Xu Qingmu's heart.
An indelible nightmare.
Ever since she passed the eighty-second level of the Heart Demon Tower, Xu Qingmu has been filled with an extremely cold feeling of strangeness. Even she, the person who knows him best, feels a little trembling with fear.
Eighty-three floors.
The white dragon aura faded away, and a girl in a white dress stood at the opposite end. Her face was somewhat similar to Xiao Bai's. The calm surprise on her face and the smile raised at the corner of her mouth, even for a stunning woman like Xiao Bai, were a bit strange.
Jealousy hidden under the surface. When Xiaobai looked at Xu Qingmu in front of him again, he could see helplessness from that face that had never been flustered before.
It's the kind of person who feels uneasy and frightened when meeting someone they know very well.
"Xu Qingmu, long time no see."
Then, there was the sweet smile of the woman. Xiaobai's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by someone, and she felt heart-wrenching pain. At that moment, she finally knew why her appearance was so similar to the woman in front of her. That was
When he was born, what Xu Qingmu was thinking about was the woman in front of him. What he was obsessed with was the person in the white skirt.
The birth of inner demons is often the result of obsessions in the owner's heart. People with ordinary minds who are not firm think about the dirty and dirty things in the world, and things that are superficial and profitable. Therefore, ordinary people's inner demons are often ugly and dark in their hearts, full of hidden hidden things.
Aroused anger and extremely evil thoughts deep in the heart. Once such inner demons are born, they become the incarnation of evil and need to be killed immediately.
But there is another type of people who have inner demons, just like Xu Qingmu and the senior Zhou in the tomb. The inner demons are not the incarnation of evil, but the most indelible obsession in their hearts. They are often due to extreme debts, or in exchange for sacrifices.
Indelible memory. The birth of this kind of inner demon is often a kind-hearted person, but it will not greatly improve the master's cultivation. It is regarded as an auxiliary inner demon.
What is even more dangerous is that the master needs to take the inner demon with him to the heart tower, go through the entire heart tower level, and kill the real inner demon, which is himself, in the final heart tower.
To put it bluntly, when Xu Qingmu actually reaches the top of the tower, he needs to make a complete break with himself. Let go of his obsessions and not be afraid of the past.
One sword cuts off the past.
This is the real killing of inner demons. However, many people, in this process, completely fall into the trap and become the victims of inner demons.
Many people are clinging to old dreams and living in the present. It's not that they don't know what the future can be, it's not that they don't understand that people want money, it's just that they have some memories that they can rely on.
Once the reliance is gone, people will die. How can we talk about the future?
That's why it has become so important and so difficult for people to be able to take that step out of the past.
Just like Xu Qingmu now, facing the woman in front of him, his whole body was trembling, and even the hand holding the Shui Rou Sword unconsciously relaxed. The confidence in his body and the laughter and laughter in the past all turned into an extremely low silence.
The sadness revealed in his eyes was like black ink entering a vat, quickly expanding and spreading, making Xiaobai and Xiaobai feel depressed.
"Cao——Dan——"
Xu Qingmu squeezed out two words through his teeth. The person in front of him was Cao Dan, the young Taoist priest who met in Funiu Town and said goodbye to Beisai in order to block Wen Renbo's attack.
The smile on the girl's face was so genuine.
"Xu Qingmu, it's been a long time since I last saw you. It's been so long that you've forgotten me." The little girl still smiled and spoke, but her voice was filled with sadness, as if she had been alone for so long, feeling lonely and wronged.
Finally found an outlet to vent. Before Xu Qingmu could speak, the smiling face had gradually turned into a grievance. The little girl rushed to Xu Qingmu. After a short time, she hugged Xu Qingmu and buried her head in Xu Qingmu's arms. She said earnestly
started crying:
"Xu Qingmu, I miss you so much..."
Xu Qingmu half-knelt on the ground, holding Cao Dan, who had barely grown up, in his arms. He reached out and took out the hair tie that had fallen off, and tied it up for the little girl with his own hands:
“It’s so beautiful.”
Xiaobai stood aside, looking a little emotional. She knew that after such an illusion, she would be even more sad. The price behind that short-term false warmth is to see the truth clearly and return to reality.
The emptiness of the huge gap.
I have hesitated in the darkness, please don't give me light.
Once people have thoughts, they can no longer stop comparing, missing, assuming, and becoming more hopeful. At that time, the disappointment is the greatest, and it is also at that time that countless people have lost their lives.
life.
Xiao Baibai was scared in his heart. After hesitating again and again, he couldn't help but remind him: "Young Master..."
No one answered.
Xu Qingmu, who was holding Cao Tong, was completely immersed in the memories of that time. Xiaobai could feel the regret in Xu Qingmu's heart, and the despair that made her heart feel so gray at that time. But the more it is like this, the more dangerous it is. If Xu Qingmu cannot wake up in time,
I'm afraid I will be completely trapped in such an environment.
Just when Xiaobai was at a loss, the dragon energy in front of him gradually condensed, and an old man with an inch-long goatee slowly appeared, with one hand behind his back and the other hand stroking his goatee in a somewhat obscene manner. He was dressed in extremely shabby clothes.
Despite his short stature, he was obviously an ordinary old man. Jian Wuque appeared, and he laughed twice, and the little remaining good impression of Xiao Bai was gone.
Because as Xu Qingmu's inner demon, Xiao Baibai could hear clearly the heart-to-heart communication between Xu Qingmu and this wretched old man. It was precisely because of this that Xiao Baibai was very disgusted with Jian Wuque in front of him.
How can a strong person, who has not done anything right all day long, talk about women with his son?
However, Jian Wuque didn't seem to care at all about Xiao Baibai's contempt and disregard. Instead, he happily squatted beside the two of them and watched Xu Qingmu hugging Cao Dan with relish.
Xiaobai was completely angry, and regardless of the rules of her family not to speak out wild words, she pointed at Jian Wuque and yelled: "You old and disrespectful thing, what are you looking at? You also know that this is your only disciple, so
Can you bear to watch your apprentice sink like this? Also, if you like to see other people's affection so much, is it possible that in this life, there will be no woman to warm your bed and raise birds for you?"
Jian Wuque bared his teeth, this...
As if it was not enough to relieve his anger, or he was a little depressed, Xiaobai continued to speak: "Old man, let me tell you, I know some secret methods for the soul. If you can't pass this test today, I will definitely fight to the death with you!
"
Jian Wuque stretched out his hand to pick out his ears, stood up from Xu Qingmu and Cao Dan, and smiled coquettishly at Xiao Bai Bai: "Girl Bai Bai..."
Xiaobai was furious and crossed his arms across his chest: "Call me aunt!"
The man who once stood at the pinnacle of mankind was a little helpless in the face of such a girl. He scratched his hair that had not been washed for thousands of years, like a down-and-out man begging for food on the street: "Auntie, okay, don't worry yet.
, who said that if this continues, it must be a bad thing for Xu Qingmu?"
Xiao Baibai calmed down a bit and calmed down a lot: "What do you mean?"
Jian Wuque chuckled and put on that extremely vulgar expression again. Before he could speak, Xiao Baibai angrily scolded you again: "Put away that vulgar smile of yours, or I will die with you!"
The old man had no choice but to straighten his clothes and put on a very neat look: "Ordinary people, if they indulge in the trial of this inner demon, will really sink, and may even die. But as my disciple
Well, even if you want to sink, it’s difficult.”
"Don't show off!" Xiaobai yelled angrily.
Jian Wuque was a little aggrieved. His remnant soul had been sleeping for thousands of years, and he was kicked by Xu Qingmu when he woke up. You know, when he was alive, even the God King of the God Realm was polite to him, let alone
He kicked himself because he was disrespectful in his words, and his entire family had been wiped out a long time ago. Then he met this kid's inner demon, who was also so domineering, but he really didn't dare to fight against it.
Maybe, there really is some secret technique that can kill him again, and that would be a big loss. Just as he was feeling sad, Xiao Baibai, who was standing in front of him, urged: "Hurry up, if you don't give me a convincing explanation."
Speak, and I’ll—”
Having said that, I want to fight.
Jian Wuque raised his hand to block, and quickly said: "Remember what I said, the next dozen floors are my gift to Xu Qingmu? Yes, these are my methods, I sneaked into Xu Qingmu's deep consciousness
, found the past that he had been unwilling to face all these years, and used big tricks to recreate the nineteen-story heart tower behind it."
The old man looked proud.
Xiaobai looked shocked and disbelieving: "You did all this?" She really didn't believe it. Was this the first time she heard that someone could control other people's hearts?
Jian Wuque put on a pose that he thought was very handsome, but in Xiao Baibai's eyes it was even more vulgar: "You can't believe it, right? Looking at the entire human race, even in the God Realm, except for the ancient God King of Ten Directions, it's not like this.
There will never be a second person. Of course, for me, that is a very good thing... It hurts, it hurts, please be gentle..."
Before he finished speaking, Xiaobai reached out and grabbed Jian Wuque's ear: "Aren't you afraid that the young master's moral heart will collapse if you do this?"
Jian Wuque finally broke free and kept rubbing his ears:
"Don't worry, this kid's Taoist heart is far stronger than you think."
