After climbing to the top of the mountain, what appeared in front of Huang Shang and others was a magnificent Buddhist palace. However, there was a lake with a diameter of more than a hundred meters between them and the palace.
The water in this lake is crystal clear. You can clearly see that there are no living creatures in the lake, and you can't detect any danger. If you want to reach the palace ahead, you may not be able to get around this lake.
It looked like I could only swim across it.
At the same time, Huang Shang discovered that there was also a stone tablet erected next to the lake. Like the stone tablet next to the white jade staircase, this stone tablet also had a few lines of Zen written in gold paint, and it seemed to be a conversation between Buddha and Kassapa.
Kasyapa: If there is a karma, there must be a phase. How about the phase confusing people's hearts?
Buddha said: Destiny is created by oneself, appearance is born from the heart, everything in the world is transformed into appearance, if the heart does not move, everything will not move, if the heart does not change, everything will not change.
"give it to you!"
This kind of matter is naturally left to experts to handle. Huang Shang glanced at Bi Xia and said.
"This is the heart-washing pool!"
Bi Xia took a deep breath and said: "These bald Buddhists are really stingy, but they only use a little treasure, even the Yingxin Pond."
Having said this, Bi Xia paused for a moment, and then continued: "This Yingxin Pond has the ability to reflect the heart, so that the phase comes from the heart. This phase does not refer to the appearance, but to the inner demon. Once you enter the pool,
Then inner demons will secretly arise to prevent you from crossing the river, or even make you immersed in it. In the end, you may not die, but you will either be choked by the lake water, or your defense will be broken, and you will sink... Of course,
It’s also possible to transcend.”
Having said this, Bi Xia glanced at the black widow who was climbing up the stairs, as if there was some kind of obsession in her eyes, no matter how much the bronze Buddha and the silver soul tried to persuade her, she sighed and said, "That woman is the best.
For example, if I guessed correctly, his inner demon should be his family. He may have seen his family in the Yingxin Pond, so he was so rude after going back that day, and he is so persistent today.
To come."
"I think... the purpose of her coming here is not the treasure on the mountain, she just hopes to see her family again. Unfortunately, the illusion is just an illusion after all."
Suddenly, Bi Xia seemed to have thought of something and laughed at himself: "But I can't tell others. In fact, it's not the same for me... let's go..."
After saying that, Bi Xia seemed to be silent for a long time, and the mean smile on his face disappeared. Finally, he stepped into the Yingxin Pond first and then sank to the bottom.
"...He can't swim?"
Seeing Bi Xia sinking directly to the bottom of the water, Fallen asked curiously: "I just wanted to ask, what would happen if a landlubber fell in?"
"With the physique of a superhuman, even if you can't swim, it's not difficult to walk across this 100-meter lake. What's difficult is how to overcome your own inner demons."
After taking a look at Bi Xia, who started walking under the water, but stopped after taking a few steps, as if he had fallen into some kind of illusion, Huang Shang frowned slightly, then took a deep breath and said in a deep voice: "Let's go.
, take care of yourself, see you on the other side of the lake!"
After saying that, Huang Shang also walked into the water step by step like Bi Xia.
To Huang Shang's expectation, after walking into the water, he didn't feel much buoyancy or resistance, as if he was walking into a mist instead of a lake.
At the same time, the water waves in front of him also rippled slightly, and the ripples became larger and larger. Finally, in the rippling water patterns, a vague figure slowly took shape, turning into the appearance of "Iron Man" Li Zhu.
Seeing Li Zhu's appearance, Huang Shang's heart trembled slightly.
Although he knew that what he saw in front of him was an illusion and an inner demon, the guilt for Li Zhu in his heart had never dissipated. He had asked himself more than once, if he had not reserved his strength and trump cards that day and gone all out, what would Li Zhu have done?
Will Zhu survive?
The answer is unknown, maybe it can, maybe it can't, but Huang Shang couldn't let it go for a long time.
It seems that Bi Xia is right, this Yingxin Pond can indeed reflect the regrets and guilt in people's hearts, thus forming inner demons.
"Brother Huang!"
Seeing Huang Shang, Li Zhu smiled as honestly as he did before he was alive, and said: "You are the best person to me, and I will leave my life to you from now on."
Hearing these words and seeing this smile, Huang Shang's heart trembled again.
This is what Li Zhu said to him once secretly after he handed over the crystal core and inheritance to Li Zhu. This honest and upright man, who even had low intelligence, respected Huang Shang from the bottom of his heart and regarded Huang Shang as his
He betrayed the person he trusted most, so much so that he, who was not good at words, actually said these words.
"sorry……"
Li Zhu's words made Huang Shang clenched her fists, and a complex and guilty emotion arose in her heart: "You gave your life to me, but I failed to protect you."
"Yes, I trust you so much, respect you, and regard you as the most important person to me...but why do you want to retain your power? Why do you want to watch me die!"
"I don't want to die. I still have a lot of things to do. You also promised me that you would treat me to a luxurious meal. You deceived me and betrayed me!"
"I want you to die with me!"
The inner demon is the inner demon after all. Sensing the guilt in Huang Shang's heart, Li Zhu's originally honest and honest face showed a trace of ferocity, resentment and madness, and then he jumped up and rushed towards Huang Shang.
Whoosh!
However, at this moment, Huang Shang, who had lowered his head with a guilty expression, suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Zhu's neck, and then slowly raised his head.
"I know I'm sorry for you...but I can't die now, and there is still a chance to save everything."
"I will make up for the mistakes I made with my own hands in the future!"
"Li Zhu, wait for me, even if you get to the underworld, Brother Huang will bring you back!"
The next moment, Huang Shang's eyes gradually became determined, and then he squeezed Li Zhu with his right hand, crushing it so hard that it turned into little black mist and disappeared.
At the same time, Huang Shang seemed to have been relieved of a burden and felt much more relaxed.
This is the role of Yingxin Pond. This Yingxin Pond is not only a level used by Buddhism to test disciples, but also the only method used by Buddhism to help disciples eliminate inner demons. It reflects the original heart, condenses inner demons, and then eliminates them.
Only by getting rid of the demons in your mind can you keep your original mind clear and your practice unimpeded.
And just when Huang Shang got rid of his first inner demon, which was the guilt for Li Zhu, Bi Xia also got rid of the inner demon. Although his eyes were a little red, he still moved forward firmly.
Go.
On the contrary, he fell into depravity, as if he was immersed in some illusion, unable to extricate himself.
Seeing this scene, Huang Shang frowned slightly and wanted to help Fallen.
But at the same time, the voice of the system rang out from Huang Shang's mind: "The inner demon can only be eliminated by external force. If the host intervenes forcibly, even if it can temporarily suppress his inner demon, it will leave even greater disasters.
It's better to let the fallen get rid of this inner demon."
At this point, the system paused for a moment, and then continued: "But the host does not have to worry, Yingxin Pond itself has the effect of weakening the inner demon, and the perseverance of the fallen will is not inferior to that of the host, he should be able to rely on his own strength
Get rid of your inner demons.”
"All right……"
After hearing the system's words, Huang Shang was silent for a moment, and then continued to move forward with the naughty boy.
After Huang Shang and others, the saint aunt and others, as well as the Taoist priest and others who climbed to the top of the mountain one after another, also entered the Yingxin Pond and began to undergo the test.
During this process, some people also tried to use other methods, such as using summoning powers to summon pets to leap over the lake, or rowing across the lake, but it made no sense. This Yingxin Pond seems to have some kind of special power.
, no matter how these people try, they will eventually fall into the lake and be tested.
In the process of this test, some weak-minded people were quickly entangled by their inner demons and fell into endless illusions.
"Hahaha, these treasures are all mine, all mine!"
A man was laughing underwater, with a face full of ecstasy, as if he was constantly grabbing something and stuffing it into his arms, but what he finally caught was the transparent lake water. On the contrary, his oxygen was consumed rapidly, and his face gradually turned purple.
As if suffocating.
But even so, he still didn't notice anything and was still laughing crazily.
"Kill, kill you all!"
"I'm not wrong, it's you who are wrong. Who told you not to give me food? I don't care. What does the life and death of others have to do with me?"
"If you don't listen to me, I will kill you all!"
There was another person with murderous intent on his face, roaring crazily, punching and roaring at the bottom of the lake, as if he was fighting an invisible enemy.
"Hahaha, beauties, come, come, come all, I love you!"
"It's so beautiful. I want it. I want every one of you!"
There was another person who seemed to be obsessed with lust. He laughed promiscuously at the bottom of the lake and made all kinds of unsightly actions.
At the same time, Black Widow seemed to have fallen into some kind of illusion, bursting into tears, and finally burst into tears: "Son, husband, I miss you so much... don't leave me, don't leave me again, please!"
Everyone is unfortunate in the end of the world. Everyone has experienced despair, pain, anger, fear and other emotions, and some people have even distorted their own minds. And these negative emotions and everything they have experienced, as well as their distorted minds, will become
The inner demons of these people are then reflected in the Yingxin Pool.
If they are not strong enough and have a fragile mind, they will be defeated by their own inner demons and sink to the bottom of the lake. They will not be sent to the shore until they faint and their challenge will fail.
Last time, Bronze Buddha and others all lost at this level. Of course, this was not only because their inner demons were difficult to overcome, but also because it was their first time to pass this level, and their hearts were filled with all kinds of tension, excitement, and ambition.
If you are not strong, your inner demons will take advantage of you.
After the experience last time, Bronze Buddha and their performance have been much better this time, and they are very likely to pass this second level in one fell swoop.
But after all, only a small number of people can pass the level. Most of the superpowers are eventually defeated by their own inner demons just like the Bronze Buddha and others who first broke through the level. They are trapped at the bottom of the lake, unable to escape, and can only
