The ruins of Kureiyuan in the dark night seem to be connected to an 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 confused. He was walking back and forth, left and right. Chong Xuan Sheng was obviously following closely, but there was a feeling that he was gradually 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 situation 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 Zhongshu 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 is the body's instinctive reaction.
Fighting in this situation, Jiang Wang couldn't stop, and he couldn't grasp the balance, so he could only disperse the heavy skills.
When Zhong Shu dispersed, Zhong Xuan Sheng glanced at Shi Shi.
Years of tacit understanding, just one look, Fourteen already understood.
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 or any active contact. Fourteen was stationary on the road ahead, "waiting" for him to approach.
Sure enough, as Chong Xuansheng expected, there was no instinctive reaction from Jiang Wang.
He just walked forward hurriedly and bumped into Shi Shi, who was wearing Yue Jia - he seemed to have 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 Shi Shi away 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.
He suddenly had a clear understanding in his heart, and 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 being 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 was awake and he had always been awake. He has been thinking about it, 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. Cultivators in the Tenglong realm begin to face "obscurity" and 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 old monk Kujue's voice suddenly appeared, asking 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 observe the precepts and take refuge, he would immediately be able to "get out" of the endless torture.
It is to escape from the sea of suffering, and 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 after you kill someone and put down the knife. Instead, let go of the evil thoughts in your heart, let go of all the "butcher's knives" that can harm living beings, have no evil in your heart, be compassionate to all living beings, and you will become a Buddha.
The endless torture impacted his heart all the time.
One mistake can lead to a broken heart.
And 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 the bottom of his heart - "I can't hold on!"
"Can you continue to live your entire life without killing any living being?"
"I can't hold it!"
Why do we need clear rules and regulations? I follow my heart.
As soon as this voice appeared, in 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 the hatred is also real.
Regarding Hu Shaomeng, I went as promised without any worries.
…
For those with pig bone noodles, snake bone noodles, and dragon bone noodles... I am determined to kill and cannot be shaken. If there really is an age of bones, I will still kill him again!
…
For the soldiers of the Yang Kingdom, going to the battlefield meant 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 disappeared instantly, and those approaching faces and fierce questioning all disappeared.
Everything seen and heard returned 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 on his body - "Swastika".
This is an auspicious symbol passed down from ancient Buddhism, which means a collection of auspicious virtues.
The swastika itself had no harm or influence on Jiang Wang. Its only function was to point him in the right direction when he was confused. It can be said that it plays the role of protecting the original mind. Of course, this "direction" must also point to 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 people were 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 Kureiyuan. And now Chongxuan Sheng couldn't even detect it. If it weren't for the swastika that Ku Jue left on Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang would have been no 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, that's courting death!
But just as they walked outside, there was a new sound outside.
This time Jiang Wang was not the only one, all three people heard it.
That voice is:
"Bang-bang! Bang! Bang!"
