The ruins of Kurei-in in the dark night seem to be connected to some unknown place.
That unknown place attracted Jiang Wang to get closer, consciously or unconsciously.
Jiang Wang walked more and more hastily, but his direction became more and more confusing. He was walking backwards, forwards, lefts, and lefts in random directions. Chongxuan Sheng was clearly following closely, but he had the feeling that he was drifting away.
This feels unsettling.
Jiang Wang's face was expressionless, but the look in his eyes showed that he was still awake and even thinking. However, he seemed to be completely unaware of the current condition of his body.
This scene is so weird, but Zhong Xuan Sheng does not have enough information after all, and there is no way to analyze it.
But we can't just let it go.
With this judgment in mind, Chong Xuan Sheng couldn't help but reach out and try to stop Jiang Wang's strange movements with his heavy skills.
But the power of the heavy technique was about to come close. Jiang Wang's hand had already been pressed back on the sword, and the sword energy was about to explode! This was the body's instinctive reaction to fight back.
Fighting in this situation, Jiang Wang couldn't stop, and he couldn't control the situation, so he could only disperse his heavy skills.
When Zhong Shu dispersed, Zhong Xuan Sheng glanced at Shi Shi.
The tacit understanding that has accumulated over many years can be understood by Fourteen with just one look.
Even with his armor on, he was already standing in front of Jiang Wang.
Standing still one step at a time, it feels like a mountain stuck on the ground, majestic and heavy.
There was no intention to attack, nor was there any active contact. Fourteen was stationary on the road ahead, "waiting" for him to approach.
Sure enough, as Chong Xuansheng expected, it did not trigger Jiang Wang's instinctive reaction.
He just walked forward in a hurry, and bumped into Shi Shi, who was wearing Yue Jia. He felt like he had hit a mountain!
The "mountain" naturally remains motionless.
Jiang Wang's body also stopped, blocking him in front of the "mountain".
But judging from his forward leaning posture and tense muscles, he was still trying to move forward.
Shi Shi could also feel Jiang Wang moving forward, and then nodded to Chong Xuan Sheng.
Even with Jiang Wang's half-baked body training, it was impossible to push away Fourteen just by relying on his body's instincts.
Chong Xuan Sheng walked closer to look into his eyes.
Jiang Wang's eyes were like a sea of tranquility.
Bright, peaceful, and firm, it seems that it will always be there, always beautiful, and will never be changed...but there is something unfathomable brewing.
In that calm sea of tranquility, Zhong Xuansheng suddenly saw an unstable... "Swastika"!
At this moment.
In Jiang Wang's opinion, he also "saw" the swastika in a non-visual sense.
Then he "heard" a sound, not in the auditory sense.
Suddenly he had a clear understanding in his heart, and he saw the appearance of the yellow-faced old monk, the monk Kujue who appeared in Qingyang Town inexplicably and wanted to accept him as his disciple for no reason.
the voice is asking
"Can you continue to live your entire life without killing any living being?"
Never kill any living thing during your lifetime. Can you stick to this commandment from now on?
The essential question it represents is, are you willing to convert to Buddhism?
Jiang Wang's consciousness is clear. He has always been awake. He has also been thinking, but some problems still exist.
He cannot gain insight into the outside world until he solves his inner problems.
The fog of ignorance, the fog of ignorance. When cultivators in the Tenglong realm begin to face "obscurity" squarely, they are trudging in ignorance.
As the saying goes, "If you don't sweep one house, how can you sweep the world?"
The so-called "correcting the origin and purifying the source" means that the body is the origin and the heart is the source.
The voice of the old monk Kujue suddenly appeared, asking about his heart
"Can you continue to live your entire life without killing any living being?"
Jiang Wang knew very well at this time that as long as he could uphold the precepts and take refuge, he could immediately "get out" of the endless torture.
It is to escape from the sea of suffering, and it is also to "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately."
The so-called "put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha immediately" does not mean that you can become a Buddha by killing people and putting down the knife. It means that you can put down the evil thoughts in your heart and put down all the "butcher's knives" that can harm living beings. There should be no evil in your heart and be compassionate.
All living beings are Buddhas by themselves.
The endless torture impacted his heart all the time.
One mistake can lead to a broken heart.
But as long as you keep the precepts and "change your mind", you can get out of this dangerous situation immediately.
But Jiang Wang's voice sounded in his heart: "I can't hold on!"
"Can you continue to live your entire life without killing any living being?"
"I can't hold on!"
Why do I need to follow strict rules and regulations? I just follow my heart.
As soon as this voice appeared, from the outside world, Zhong Xuansheng and Shi Shi could clearly feel that Jiang Wang's forward trend had stopped.
And in the heart.
Regarding those tortures, Jiang Wang faced them directly and answered them one by one.
"As for Fang Pengju, I remember him and miss him, but I don't regret killing him. The friendship is real, and so is the hatred.
Regarding Hu Shaomeng, I acted as promised and had no worries.
…
For those with pig bone faces, snake bone faces, and dragon bone faces... I am determined to kill and cannot be shaken. If there really is an era of white bones, I will still kill them again!
…
For the soldiers of the Yang Kingdom, going to the battlefield means risking everything and putting their lives in their hands. As they do, so do I!
There is only life and death on the battlefield, there is no right or wrong!"
The "swastika" character in his eyes instantly disappeared, and those approaching faces and fierce questioning all disappeared.
Everything you see and hear returns to peace.
At the end, Jiang Wang was in a good mood, regained control of his body in an instant, and blurted out: "I have a clear conscience!"
At this time he already understood the cause and effect.
When he was in Qingyang Town, without his knowledge, Ku Jue left a symbol "Swastika" on his body.
This is an auspicious symbol passed down from ancient Buddhism, which means a collection of auspicious virtues.
The swastika itself has no harm or influence on Jiang Wang. Its only function is to point him in the direction when he is confused. It can be said that it plays the role of protecting his own mind. Of course, this "direction" must also
It just means taking refuge.
This swastika will probably never be able to work, because Jiang Wang's heart is firm and far beyond ordinary people.
It should be said that the old monk Kujue has no malicious intentions.
But tonight, when I came to the Kureiyuan ruins with Chongxuan Sheng to find the answer.
This swastika attracted something in Kureiyuan, causing him to fall into almost endless Taoist torture, and he was also attracted to an unknown place.
It almost killed him, but it also saved him.
When he fell into the torture of Taoism, this swastika provided him with a way to uphold the "precepts" and atone for his "sins".
But Jiang Wang chose his own way
He directly let go of all his defenses and asked his heart.
And he has a clear conscience!
The body and mind are clear and the will is unified.
"What happened?" Chong Xuan Sheng asked.
He looked at Jiang Wang and felt that from the inside out, he seemed to have gone through some kind of cleansing, and had a kind of unearthly temperament.
Jiang Wang recounted everything that had just happened in his heart.
Only then did Chong Xuan Sheng and Shi Shi realize what kind of danger he had just experienced.
"Leave here first." Chong Xuansheng said immediately.
There must be some secret hidden here in Kurongyuan. And now Chongxuan Sheng can't even detect it. If it weren't for the swastika left on Jiang Wang by Ku Jue, Jiang Wang would not be an exception.
This is enough to show that the secrets hidden in the Kureiyuan ruins are beyond their current strength.
Of course, Chong Xuan Sheng was a smart man, so he chose to leave immediately, regardless of the answers he originally wanted to find.
If you don’t have the strength and still want to be curious, you are seeking death!
But just as they were walking out, a new voice sounded outside.
This time Jiang Wang was not the only one, all three people heard it.
