Chapter 128 Dao Heart

At this moment, in the outside world.

The fortune teller, another part of the continent, made a dissatisfied sound: "Tsk, what good luck."

"But it's not without gain."

He played with the shadow in his hand and said so.

This is a trace of his innate Taoism.

Demon seed.

This is the root of his direct entry into the gate of Wushen Mountain, the favor of the great fortune teller, and becoming a direct disciple.

The demon seed can directly enter the opponent's soul, invade the weakest point in the heart, and then forcibly drag the opponent into the magic realm.

There, everything is exactly the same as the real thing, and everything that happens is also real.

It's just that the opponent will fall into a different mentality because of the different weaknesses invaded.

In that case, if the opponent dies, it means he is really dead, and the moves used by the opponent will be recorded in his mind one by one, which is equivalent to a rehearsal of a battle.

But on the contrary, if he loses, no matter whether the opponent breaks through the magic realm or kills him in the magic realm, everything will return to the beginning, as if nothing has happened.

It is a forced battle, and that person must win, not lose, and will be forced to attach to the weakness of the Dao Heart, making him muddleheaded and dominated by instinct.

The master said that his demon seed is essentially to see through the weakness of the Dao Heart and then drag people into the fragments of the Universe Light. The things in the fragments of the Universe Light are half true and half false.

If you want it to be true, it is true.

If you want him to be false, it is a dream.

Because this trace of Dao rhyme has touched the Universe Light, it is of great help to the way of divination, so Dabu accepted him as a disciple.

But there is also a limitation, that is, it can only be used twice on a person, and then that person will be immune to the demon seed.

Since he left the master's door to train, there are very few people who can crack or resist the demon seed.

Li Qi is worthy of being a disciple of Dazhu, and he is indeed an opponent who can compete with him.

And... that Bai Di, looking at his sword, it seems to be the Xiezhi sword, um, the Xiezhi of Baishezhou? That should be someone from Baishezhou? Is she Li Qi's follower?

And who is that woman named Shen Shuibi?

Why can she see through all my magic at a glance? She should not be from Wushen Mountain. Could it be that she is from another sect, so she is knowledgeable?

Which sects have this ability in the ninth rank?

The Wanzang Pavilion of humanity? Or something else? Or maybe she also has innate Taoism, but I just didn't find it?

"I don't know, but let's see." He put away the magic seed and continued to observe.

The master told him that when he couldn't think of the answer, it was because the clues were not enough. As a fortune teller, he should continue to obtain clues by his own means and try to be foolproof.

As for using the magic seed against Shen Shuibi and Bai Di, he had never thought about it.

There is no need to involve outsiders in the dispute between fortune telling and fortune telling. If the magic seed is used, it will die if it cannot be cracked. There is no need to kill people unless it is absolutely necessary. It's just offending people for nothing.

He doesn't treat the people in these small worlds as human beings, but he still treats the people in that world as human beings.

————————

On Li Qi's side.

He opened his eyes.

He found himself still in the car.

Bai Di was sitting in the front passenger seat, unaware of it.

Li Qi found that his back was soaked, and there was a pair of hands pressing on his temple.

The touch of these hands was very soft, and at the same time, he saw a barrier in front of him, isolating the back seat from the outside world, so that the sound could not be transmitted.

Turning his head, he found that it was Shen Shuibi.

She adjusted her sitting position so that her hand could be placed on Li Qi's temple, and just like that, Li Qi received an important reminder in the magic realm.

If not, Li Qi might have been tricked.

"Thank you, Miss Shen, this time it's all thanks to you..." Li Qi thanked him immediately.

It was Shen Shuibi who continued to press Li Qi's temple and said to him: "I noticed it earlier, but I think this matter is not necessarily a bad thing for you, so I didn't tell you."

"It's really not a bad thing..." Li Qi's eyes were bloodshot, and he collapsed in the car, allowing Shen Shuibi to pass a stream of cool air into his body and swirl around his brain.

"I'm too arrogant. These days, I always stand on a high place, as if I'm in control of the situation. I'm arrogant and conceited, and I've lost myself a little bit." Li Qi took a deep breath.

"I thought I was humble in front of the governor and others, and I didn't brag about myself, but I didn't know that arrogance never comes from the attitude towards the superiors, but from the attitude towards the subordinates."

"When I was in the world, I knew how big the world was, so I was cautious and didn't dare to do much, and I reflected on myself at any time."

"But after being in this small world, I learned that its foundation was not deep, and even used some clever tricks to play with the way of heaven, so I felt superior to Zhang Deming and others, and was complacent with my title of "Young Master". I felt that although I was nothing in the world, I was a real big shot here." Li Qi said the result of his reflection.

Then, he sighed and said, "Alas, I am arrogant but not aware of it, and I am proud but not self-restrained. My Dao heart has left a flaw."

Li Qi really realized his mistake and the flaw in his Dao heart, so he was in such a weak state.

However, after Shen Shuibi heard this, the worry she had been wearing disappeared, and instead, there was a little joy in her eyes: "Being able to realize this means that there is a chance to make up for this flaw."

"I didn't say it directly before because Daoxin is something that cannot be spoken directly. Speaking too much can easily arouse rebellion. You need to realize it by yourself. But it seems that you are still great, Li Qi!" She said happily: "The flaws in Daoxin trouble even many great powers. Many people can recognize their flaws but can never make up for them. You can wake up with my little reminder. It can be seen that two-thirds of the purpose of this trip to the foreign land has been achieved." Shen Shuibi said with a smile.

Li Qi was a little happy when he heard Shen Shuibi praising him, but he immediately calmed down and asked himself why he was happy? Was it because of arrogance or something else?

After this time, he has been alert and knows that he must reflect on himself at any time, so as not to fall into the flaws of Daoxin and sink, and eventually become someone else.

However, after thinking about it, he suddenly realized one thing: "The two-thirds purpose of coming to the outside world this time? Isn't our purpose to learn Daoyun?"

"Ah, do you think Daoyun outside the domain is difficult?" Shen Shuibi asked back.

Li Qi thought about it and had to admit it, so he answered: "...very simple."

"Yes, the exotic Dao rhyme of this small world is not difficult at all. You can understand it naturally by studying step by step and visiting it. It's nothing strange."

"The purpose of all foreign travel is to change the mentality of you, the children of a big clan, to see how your mentality will change after you leave the world, and how to stabilize your Dao heart."

"You can feel the Dao rhyme and learn knowledge at any time. There is no need to come out for training, but stabilizing the Dao heart is a lesson that will accompany you throughout your Dao for thousands of years, so you The first lesson for us after we go down the mountain must be this."

"I actually noticed it a long time ago, because when the governor invited you, I knew that it must be the experience ordered by the great master."

"Dao Xin is the foundation of Taoism. If the Dao Xin is insufficient, then the warriors will not have the perseverance to practice boxing every day for ten years, the witches will not have the awe of the heaven and earth, the Taoists will no longer insist on being indifferent and pure, and the practitioners of humanity will become irritable and cruel to the people."

Shen Shuibi said here, "Without the Dao Xin to hold on, the practice will be nothing but empty. At that time, all your cultivation will no longer be your own."

No longer your own?

This sentence made Li Qi feel a little strange.

Even if the Dao Xin has a flaw, it won't be yourself, right?

So, Li Qi humbly asked for advice: "Why do you say that? If there is a flaw in the heart of Taoism, then it is not yourself?"

Shen Shuibi looked at Li Qi and said naturally: "It's very simple. A common man was angry and killed people in anger on the street. Do you think he made the decision to kill people?"

Hearing this question, Li Qi frowned and fell into deep thought.

Is that so?

Is that right.

Even if he was blinded by anger, it should be his own decision.

But is it really so?

No.

A common man was angry and killed people in anger on the street.

But in fact, a common man was angry, and he was angry and killed people in anger. He was driven by anger and instinct. His original heart was blinded by anger.

At that time, the decision he made was no longer his own.

"So, think about it again. What is the difference between the anger of a scholar, the corpses of two people, and the bloodshed for five steps, and the anger of a common man?" Shen Shuibi asked him again.

Her tone was persuasive, leading Li Qi to think of the answer step by step.

Li Qi continued to ponder.

What is the difference between a common man who kills people in anger on the street and a scholar who dies and bleeds for five steps?

Both of them are killing people out of anger, and the results seem to be the same.

But what is the reality?

The common man just stabbed someone to death in a fit of rage, and it is very likely that he will regret it very much afterwards, feel fear and sorrow, and hate himself for being so impulsive at that time.

Because the common man did not think about it, when he was driven by anger, he did not find a better solution, and only found out afterwards that he did not need to kill.

But the scholar will not regret it at all, because he has thought it over before he took action, and he has already understood the cause and process of his decision, and concluded that this is the best way, so he resolutely did it, and he can do it even if he dies nine times without regret.

This is the difference between "bloody courage" and "righteousness".

This is also the difference between making a decision when the heart of Tao is blinded and when the heart of Tao is clear.

With such clarity, one can be liberated. When pursuing the Tao, one is not afraid of life and death, nor of powerful enemies. One can live and die for the Tao.

People in the world do not cultivate their minds, so they are not free. They confuse right and wrong, and take the false as true. Everyone is like a slave, enslaved and bound by desires, impulses, and various emotions.

In this way, they are bound by desires, and they cannot help but live, die, love and hate, and work hard all their lives. They don’t know why they are like this, nor do they know how to get rid of all this. They just live by inertia, grow old, get sick and die, and are driven by many things under the shackles and cannot be free.

But at this time, Li Qi’s doubts came.

"Miss Shen, according to this statement, does practicing Taoism mean abandoning all emotions and turning yourself into a robot? Analyzing the pros and cons of everything, wouldn't that mean you are profit-driven and only seek your own interests and stability? In this case, can it still be considered practicing Taoism?" Li Qi asked, frowning, extremely puzzled.

Shen Shuibi tilted her head and said in confusion: "Why do you think so?"

"To tell you not to be driven by desires does not mean to ask you to abandon desires. Desires themselves are part of the 'heart'. If you abandon them, will your heart still be complete?"

"What is the so-called clear mind of Tao? It means to let you use wisdom to observe yourself and constantly think. With thinking, you can be bright and clear inside and out, not driven by simple desires, and recognize your original true heart."

"Knowing your original true heart, clarifying confusion, leaving behind anger and ignorance, and realizing what your desires are, what you want, what makes you angry, and what your motivations and reasons for doing things are."

"When your heart is clear and you understand these, how can you do things that are confused by desires?"

"Just like the comparison between you now and before, you were confused by arrogance before, which obscured your Tao heart, so do you think that kind of behavior is really something you can do?"

Shen Shuibi threw out a series of questions, forcing Li Qi to think again.

Then, Li Qi had to admit that what she said made sense.

Is it freedom to be driven by instinct to do whatever one wants and let one's desires expand? That is nothing but a slave to desire, not the slightest freedom.

The heart of Tao is clear, not confused by greed, anger, ignorance, not fettered by cause and effect, not entangled by doubt, fear, anger and other emotions in the heart, knowing the original heart and doing it according to the original heart.

There is no hesitation in the heart to practice your own path, understand what you really like and what you really pursue, and then use all your energy and wisdom to achieve this goal.

This is the heart of a Taoist, this is the 'Tao heart'.

A Taoist must have such a heart, so that he can persevere and move forward firmly, and still maintain the original love in a long life, otherwise he will only be controlled by power and desire in a long event.

After thinking about this, Li Qi suddenly felt that many of his confusions disappeared.

After getting the power, the dust that covered his heart after practicing seemed to be swept away.

The Tao is in the outside world, which is the law of the operation of the entire world.

The Tao is in the body, which is the principle of the small world of the human body.

At this moment, the dust on his heart was swept away, and his little world seemed to be much clearer, and the flow of various internal energy and spiritual energy in his body became smooth.

Seeing this, Shen Shuibi happily removed the barrier.

No one noticed what had just happened.
