Zhao Wujiang had a long dream.
In his dream, he was forcibly awakened by Xuanyuan Jing, and the sky was dimly lit outside the house.
Xuanyuan Jing said that he would go to court early today to discuss many things.
He came outside the main hall and saw many familiar old faces. These were all ministers of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Someone was greeting him, and someone came over to ask for advice.
Dugu Yihe is still as calm and majestic as ever, and Liu Zhe is as old a fox as ever.
Some officials still stared at him with unkind eyes.
He was pushed by the huge crowd and entered the hall. The ministers shouted long live the emperor.
Submit memorials and report affairs in an orderly manner.
Then what didn't surprise him was that a group of ministers appeared who wanted to impeach and suppress Zhao Wujiang.
It's just that this time, he didn't use words to criticize, he didn't have a bright tongue, he didn't have high spirits, and he didn't refute these words to suppress these people.
He looked around at the ministers in the hall and at Xuanyuan Jing sitting on the high throne. He felt a little in a trance, as if he was in another world.
He smiled and shook his head, and said sincerely and softly:
"It's because I wasn't perfect. No one is perfect. I couldn't save all of you..."
The next moment, he saw all the officials of the court dying in different ways in front of him, as well as countless common people.
He sacrificed his life for justice and saved his relatives, but he failed to save more people.
He knew that it was not his fault at all, he had done a good enough job.
But it seemed that the trace of guilt that came from kindness hidden deep in my heart came out at this moment.
In the court hall where corpses lay everywhere, a handsome man wearing a jet black robe walked in, with a charming and ferocious smile.
The man looked exactly like him. He stabbed him with a sword and his voice was hoarse like a roulette wheel of destruction that grinds all living beings:
"Zhao Wujiang, don't you understand that those who achieve great things can also kill their close relatives?
Being indecisive and limited by affection and kindness will only harm you.
Abandoning these things will make you without any weaknesses and invincible. "
"Then if you abandon these things, are you still a human being?" Zhao Wujiang stared blankly at the long sword that sank into his heart. He didn't feel any pain at all, he was just a little confused.
"We are gods and immortals overlooking the world, not humble ants like humans."
What answered him was the man's cold and ruthless voice.
Zhao Wujiang fell to the ground, breathing heavily and feeling a little dazed.
He woke up. It was dark outside and he was sweating profusely.
After practicing meditation, as the fire of his soul continued to burn, he fell into an extremely mysterious state, but for some reason, he fell into a dream, as if he was invaded by a nightmare.
It seemed that the fire of the soul was gradually burning up the entire soul, forcing out the wisps of soul that he had never noticed were hidden so deeply.
Taoism calls it inner demon, but Buddhism calls it false.
However, the unified understanding among practitioners is that this is a bottleneck for progress. After a breakthrough, one can make rapid progress in cultivation.
It's just that inner demons are hard to get rid of. They will appear suddenly, hide, grow, and swallow up many of people's emotions and wills.
The inner demon has always existed, but it was hidden too deeply. Until today, Zhao Wujiang's cultivation has become stronger and stronger, and he has almost completely burned out the divine fire. The stronger inner demon has nowhere to hide and is revealed in his dream.
But it is much easier for ordinary people to get rid of their inner demons.
As long as you are not mentally exhausted, do not belittle yourself, do not look down upon others, and are content and happy, you will be able to be healthy physically and mentally, and eliminate all evil spirits.
Zhao Wujiang was sitting on a futon. This futon was a Taoist secret treasure that could help people overcome their delusions.
Unexpectedly, today, I would help Zhao Wujiang detect anomalies.
If he hadn't noticed it early and allowed his inner demons to hide and grow, one day, Zhao Wujiang might kill everyone in a fit of rage.
Innocent women, children, or the elderly will be slaughtered.
Even if it is out of control, it will hurt relatives and friends.
