After Xuanmu left Tianchi Mountain, he continued to set off towards the east. During this period, he asked himself about his unnecessary actions along the way. He couldn't explain why he wanted to help the boy. He just followed his inner thoughts and instinctive curiosity, which made Xuanmu end up like this. Done.
That day, when I passed the top of Tianchi Mountain, I saw the brothers cheating on each other and almost losing their humanity in the critical moment of life and death. However, in the end, the boss's conscience was still intact. Not only did he not eat Lao Wu alive, he even felt compassion for Lao Wu and wanted to take Lao Wu back to his lair. This is also the biggest reason why the fifth child ate the second child and the fourth child in the end, but the eldest child was buried under the snow.
On the way to practice, you can use any means, and you can even deny your relatives to achieve your goals. You are self-centered. As long as your own interests are involved, anyone who touches you is an enemy. In this world, no matter where you go, the strong are respected. If you want to be strong, you must have ruthless means and strategies. The courage of an ordinary person or just opportunism can only get half way at best.
Those who have climbed to the top of the road are all people with extraordinary xinxing. Behind a person's success, there must be a huge amount of effort and pain. He has experienced suffering that others cannot empathize with, thereby tempering his will and beating his xinxing, so that he is not afraid of being destroyed by any wind and waves. To move forward courageously and risk everything for what we want in our hearts, this is what the practice itself brings us.
As the old man often says, most of the famous and successful people from ancient times have had a bad past. When they stand on a high place and overlook the world, there is a shadow behind them, and in the shadow, they are also walking towards the road. Part of the top is just that the light in front of it is so dazzling that many people ignore the shadow behind it.
But in the journey of cultivation, whether you are a human or a demon, from the moment you set foot on this path, you are destined that the process is not that simple. When a person is born, his nature is good. The ancients said this, which means that when a person is born, his nature should be kind. However, after experiencing the devastation and reality of the day after tomorrow, he slowly changes himself and looks down on the warmth and coldness of the world, which makes some people Indifference and even evil thoughts arise, harming others, and involving innocent people, thus creating a vicious circle, interlocking with each other. Kind-hearted people suffer too much and gradually become cold-blooded and indifferent.
But is this the world we want? There will always be new people born, and they will come to this world with kindness and sincerity, thereby experiencing reincarnation, or joining the evil side, or maintaining their nature and not forgetting their original intention. All things will continue to grow and the laws of nature are clear. Everything is based on the heart.
What we have to do is to keep our bottom line as a human being. This is true for both humans and monsters. From the moment spiritual wisdom is born, it starts from being able to distinguish good from evil, right from wrong, from being able to know right from wrong, from being able to know what is possible and what is not. To begin with, no matter what you have experienced, or what kind of person you become in the end, the most basic principles and bottom lines cannot be discarded, otherwise what is the difference between you and an animal? Even if you reach the top in the end and get more, it is just flashy and empty.
Those who are supreme and those who have achieved great success, no matter how despicable and dirty their pasts were, it cannot be denied that their deeds of standing on the top and benefiting future generations are equally meritorious.
The greater a person's ability, the greater the responsibility. What's more, when a person achieves great achievements, he will naturally own a large part of the resources in this world. They know that it is not easy to get and will not squander it easily, which makes them work hard. , Acting thoughtfully everywhere, naturally within their jurisdiction, there will be a good life where music and singing are prosperous and the people are healthy.
Those who can achieve great things are mostly those who are open-minded and open to all rivers.
Xuance is cruel and ruthless, and he knows how to work hard and recharge his batteries. At the critical moment, he will not ruin his long-planned plan because of the kindness of a woman. This is the result of the hardships and hardships he has endured at the bottom all year round. So he knows how to cherish opportunities and seize them.
At the same time, Xuance did not lose his conscience. The boss's final compassion allowed him to maintain his sanity. After all, they are brothers from the same mother, so why be too anxious about fighting each other? Even if he didn't know if he could return to the Rat Clan alive in the end, and even if his life and death were uncertain in the blizzard, he still chose to make a desperate move.
What Xuanmu values is precisely this point of Xuance. As for how far Xuance's achievements will be in the future, Xuanmu does not dare to say, but with his character, as long as nothing unexpected happens, it will not be too bad.
There are many avenues, everyone has
You have your own opportunities and good fortune, whether you are envious or jealous, in the end you still need to forge ahead and polish yourself. To practice, you must first cultivate yourself, and to cultivate yourself, you must cultivate your mind.
There is no specific division between good and evil in the cycle of nature. Most people who are unfaithful are scholars, while most people who are righteous are dog-slaughters. Everyone has two sides. A murderer and arsonist will drown himself trying to save a drowning stray dog. Those who eat fast and chant the Buddha's name count the coins in the merit box and laugh at the naivety of those ignorant people who go down the mountain with their unearned money and spend their time in wine and debauchery.
The Tao is often nameless, only virtue can reveal it. The ultimate virtue has no foundation, it is achieved by following the path. There is no way for misfortunes and blessings, but people call it upon themselves. Retribution for good and evil follows you like a shadow.
After all, humans and ghosts have different paths, that is, in the world of cultivation, conscience and nature cannot be missing, let alone lost.

As we head eastward, the climate gradually warms up. Although there is still snow and ice along the way, unlike in the more northerly areas, we can now see many jungles and shrubs, many of which are green and full of vitality.
The mountains to the east are undulating, and there are many lofty mountains and ridges. Among them, there are many waterfalls that plunge thousands of miles, and the clouds and smoke are vast, which is also one of the rare spectacles.
Xuanmu clasped his hands behind his back, his brows indifferent, letting the clouds and smoke pass by in a hurry, his eyes were deep, and he didn't stop until he reached the top of a mountain range.
Under this criss-crossing mountain range that stretches for thousands of miles, there is a huge basin at the bottom. Compared with the green outside, with deep forests and lush leaves, the bottom of the basin is barren and deserted.
Looking around, the bottom of the basin is covered with many boulders. From time to time, black gas boils under the boulders, and a stench hits the nostrils. Among the gaps between various boulders, the river water flowing through the canyon is extremely turbid. It seems that this place is a desperate situation. The river water that has gathered inside has become stagnant water here and can no longer flow out.
At the outermost edge of the basin, there is a towering boulder standing in the center, covered with moss and reptiles. However, in the middle of the stone surface, there are two eye-catching bloody characters, making everyone around them avoid and dare not approach.
"Prison law."
Xuanmu closed his eyes slightly, and the next moment, he fell straight down from the top of the mountain, and fell straight into the depths of the basin.
In the Deep Cave of Prison Law, a group of red-blooded ethnic groups were performing some kind of sacrifice. Suddenly, they heard a burst of excitement from the outside world. An old man holding a blood war weapon seemed to have noticed something. He immediately stopped his movements and quickly rushed forward. .
"Ancestor." The old man called excitedly.
Xuanmu nodded and slowly walked down to the depths of the cave. As he walked, he said, "How is the Di Ren clan?"
After hearing the words, the old man paused and said truthfully, "We have tried many times, but no matter how we condense the power of Di Ren's blood, it still seems to be a little bit short. I don't know what went wrong."
Xuanmu frowned slightly, but did not accuse him of not doing things well, and said to himself, "Lead the way, I'll go take a look."
The red tribe that took root here is the blood lizard tribe that originally migrated from the sea.
Xuanmu raised his head and looked at the several Di people floating in the void in the cave. Except for Liu Yanchen, who was still somewhat awake, the rest of the Di people had already fallen into coma.
"Let's begin." Xuanmu said calmly.
The old man in blood-red clothes held up the bloody battle in his hand. In an instant, a majestic spiritual power poured in from top to bottom, covering all the Di people floating above. Then the rock walls around the cave began to flicker. The red light, as the light gets brighter and brighter, completely reveals the clearest appearance of the bottom of the deep hole.
Deep in the basin where the walls stand thousands of feet, the bloody atmosphere lingers underground. In addition to the stairs winding down the mountain inside, there are four ferocious statues carved on the surrounding rock walls. The statues are dozens of feet high, as if the internal structure of the entire mountain range has been destroyed. Occupied by these four statues, it is unattainable and powerful.
At the moment, Xuanmu and the elders of the Blood Lizard Clan were standing on the altar below, letting the red smoke and blood flow around them.
At first glance, the structure in the depths of the prison is a bit like the Shura Platform in the wilderness. It is also an altar that has existed for an unknown number of years, and there are four stone statues whose details are unknown.
It's just that the stone statues on the altar are far more than the Shura altar in the wilderness.
It is too vast and huge.
The expressions of the four statues were calm, with no trace of sadness or joy, and their eyes were indifferent and cold. Their gazes were focused directly below, which happened to be where the Di people were imprisoned.
As the red light above became more and more dense, a strange scene gradually emerged. One of the stone statues actually stared angrily and widened its eyes. A wave of intimidation swept over. Then the eyes of the stone statue were filled with red light, and finally they converged into a straight line. Shoot towards the Di Ren suspended in the air.
The red light traveled up and down, penetrating all the Di people's bodies, and then swept into the body of the next stone statue. The next moment, the stone statues that were absorbed by the red light also widened their eyes, and the vision in their eyes was just like the first stone statue. Generally speaking, his eyes are also scarlet.
As the second stone statue emitted red light and continued to penetrate into the Di people's bodies, the only two remaining stone statues followed the same method. It was not until all four stone statues finished casting the spell that the red light gradually stopped moving in the barrier and stopped moving wantonly.
The old man waved the wooden stick in his hand, and a dazzling light bloomed from the top of the wooden stick. As if attracted by something, the red light suspended in the air turned into a ball of sticky liquid, which kept rolling and then floated downwards.
The old man held the squirming liquid in the palm of his hand and handed it to Xuanmu, saying, "The Blood Pool Heaven Realm has the effect of absorbing the blood of Di people, but the power of this blood is not as rich and deep as imagined. This is due to the combined effect of the several of them." The blood power seems to be missing something crucial."
Xuanmu squinted his eyes and looked carefully. After just one encounter, his pupils widened, and he was filled with shock and anger. He turned his head and shouted at Liu Yanchen in anger, "You have actually condensed your own blood!"
