Three full days passed after the Battle of Loumen, and Zhou Zhengcai finally woke up from his coma. And after he woke up, the first person he saw was, to his surprise, Meng Zhuo.

"Where's my senior sister?"

Without waiting for Meng Zhuo to speak, Zhou Zheng took the lead and asked his own question. He is already a little used to it, anyway, whether it is injured or practicing, every time he wakes up, the person in front of him is Wen Siqi. And this time, he saw Meng Zhuo first, which couldn't help but make him a little surprised and worried.

Meng Zhuo smiled hahaha, and teased: "Brother Zhou is really temperamental, he was in a coma for three days, but when he woke up, he asked about the girl first. Because he joined forces with Zhou Zheng once, Meng Zhuo changed his name.

The current Zhou Zheng, due to the Daigo empowerment of the empty seal, has long since lost his original simplicity and stupidity. Seeing Meng Zhuo smiling easily, he knew that Wen Siqi was fine, at least nothing serious, so he turned to ask about the battle of Loumen: "Brother Meng, what happened after I fell unconscious?" ”

"How much do you remember?"

"Not at all."

"In other words, where do your memories go?"

"Where do the memories go?"

This question made Zhou Zheng fall into deep thought, and in a trance, he remembered a lot, such as the battle with the Asura Dharma Body, and then the collision between the natal stars and the chaos runes, as for the later things......

"Ah, my head hurts!" Zhou, who wanted to continue to investigate, only felt as if his brain had been struck by lightning, and he almost fainted in pain. He used to pretend to have amnesia, but this time he really suffered retribution, and he lost his memory once.

Seeing this, Meng Zhuo hurriedly stopped Zhou Zheng and asked him not to continue. Then, he looked at Zhou Zheng with a strange expression and asked, "You really don't remember what happened next?" ”

Zhou Zheng shook his head: "I really don't remember." ”

"You don't remember, it's probably because — you lost." Meng Zhuo sighed, wrinkled his brows, and hated iron for not becoming steel: "I don't know why you're so crazy, is the Yuanshen projection used to smash people casually?" Didn't your sister tell you that this kind of behavior is very dangerous? Once something happens, it will be a regressive cultivation, or a broken soul, and you will be lucky if you are in a coma for three days. ”

Feeling the straightforwardness and concern between Meng Zhuo's words, Zhou Zheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "I didn't think about it that much at the time, but I just felt that if we fought well, the two of us might not be his opponents." ”

Of course, Zhou Zheng would not admit it in front of Meng Zhuo, and aside from this, there was also a reason why he was too arrogant. The words "the seeds of the great sun can break through all darkness" deeply affected him. Especially in the memory of the empty seal, the Great Day Nyorai Seed is described as almost omnipotent.

This seriously affected Zhou Zheng's judgment and made him forget that the combat effectiveness of both sides should be reasonably estimated before the battle.

Some people may find it strange, ah, how can Zhou Zheng absorb the memory of the empty seal, and still make this kind of mistake, shouldn't the five aggregates be empty...... It is true that Buddhism should have all five aggregates empty, but it does not mean that every Buddhist practitioner can have all five aggregates empty. If everybody's aggregates are empty, then everybody is an Arhat, Bodhisattva, and Buddha, so why bother cultivating again?

In fact, don't say it's Zhou Zheng in the heartbeat realm, or the empty seal of the supernatural realm, or the innate bosses of various sects. As long as the state of cultivation has not yet reached the Great Perfection of Freedom, then the mind will inevitably be attached, and it will inevitably be unable to be purified. The difference is just that the masters have experienced more cultivation and have relatively fewer flaws in their hearts, but that's all.

Take the example of the great monk of the empty seal, as the leader of the Mesozoic era of the Northern Buddhism, he has cultivated a profound mystic skill. If he doesn't fall for Mrs. Yueling's tricks, and he delivers moves steadily, the winning rate is basically 100%. But it's useless to say this, because the empty seal finally fell for the magic spell, so he was broken the Dharma Body, and was dragged into the battle by the Moon Spirit Lady until Zishi, and died in the mist of the Styx.

This kind of result is something that the righteous monks do not want to see, and no one can guess it. But if someone has enough life experience and is familiar with the empty seal, it is not too difficult to come to a similar conclusion.

Because Kongyin has always been keen on fighting and despises the practice of Buddhism, he is more arrogant and cares more about reputation, so he can't be despised and provoked. This kind of person is more likely to be led out of the arrogant side, and eventually suffer a big loss.

This is called, character determines fate.

Some would dismiss this sentence as metaphysics, but undoubtedly, it is not.

Just like the Confucian classic "Analects", just because he saw Zilu "walking as he is", Confucius made a criticism, saying that he would inevitably "not die".

The result?

Zilu went out to defend the country, and when he was out on business, there was a rebellion in the national capital, and Zilu got the news and hurried back. On the way back to the capital, he met Zi Lamb, who told him that the war was decided, the rebels had won, and you would just die in vain.

Zilu believed Zi Lamb's words, but insisted that "those who eat their food do not take refuge", and resolutely returned to the national capital to deal with the rebellious ministers and thieves, and finally died in a fierce battle.

Some people may still say that people will always die, and Confucius said that the two things are not necessarily related. Then I have to add that Confucius was in the state of Lu, and when he heard that there was a rebellion in the country, he sighed, "Wow, let me die." Finally, the definite news came, and it did.

Because Confucius knew very well what kind of character his beloved disciple was and how he would react when he encountered a similar situation.

In a person's life, there are very few truly "unjustified disasters". Many things have their causes and consequences, and a person's life is a process of making choices according to their own nature, and finally being pushed forward by the results of choice.

This theory, when put on the empty seal, is applicable; Put it on Zhou Zheng, the same applies. It doesn't matter if it is placed in the entire rivers and lakes, in the court, in any corner of the world, and on any person in the corner, it is all applicable.

In the face of Zhou Zheng's explanation, Meng Zhuo nodded, indicating that he understood, but said: "After all, this is the home of our Pillow Flow Book Society, and I have already passed the news into the secret and instructed the garrison officer to find the elders in my door." Even if you and I are not the opponents of that monster, we can only delay the time, and when the elders of my sect come, won't we win the game steadily? ”

"I was reckless." When Zhou Zheng heard this, he naturally said yes again and again. It's just that there is a little selfishness behind this, but I can't explain it.

smiled and said a few words to Meng Zhuo, which was regarded as admitting his mistake, and chatting a few words about the Pillow Flow Book Club. Zhou and Meng, who already have comradeship-in-arms, naturally became closer.

After chatting casually, Zhou Zheng asked, "Who destroyed that monster at that time?" ”

"Ahem......" Meng Zhuo seemed to be choked, coughed violently a few times, and then said, "Well, let's talk about it when you get better." ”

Zhou Zheng was a little puzzled: "Brother Meng, why is this, is there anything inconvenient to talk about?" ”

Meng Zhuo was swept away by Zhou Zheng's puzzled gaze, as if he had passed the electricity, and jumped up suddenly: "It's really nothing, it's just that the situation was more intense at the time, say it now, haha, I'm afraid it will affect your recuperation." ”

"Brother Meng, you don't have anything to hide from me, right?" The more Zhou Zheng looked at it, the more he felt that it was wrong, and a bad assumption suddenly surfaced in his heart, he grabbed Meng Zhuo's arm and asked, "Is something wrong with my senior sister?" ”

Unexpectedly, Meng Zhuo's reaction was even greater than Zhou Zheng expected. I saw that in a panic, he actually used his true qi, shook off Zhou Zheng's hand, and hurriedly took several big steps back.

"Brother Meng...... What are you ......" Zhou Zheng looked at his hand, and where he saw it, it was still white and delicate, no different from when he first crossed, and there was no trace of scary. So if it's not for the hands that are problematic...... Zhou Zheng raised his head and stared at Meng Zhuo tightly, his eyes gradually becoming fierce: "What did you do to my senior sister?" ”

Meng Zhuo was a little flustered, he smiled awkwardly: "Your senior sister is really fine, she is recuperating in the room at the other end." It was Imperial Doctor Shi who treated her injuries, and she couldn't solve any problems. ”

"Then why are you ......" Zhou Zheng paused, pondered for a long time, and then said uncertainly: "Then why are you so afraid of me, what are you afraid of me?" ”

"Then it looks like you really don't remember." Meng Zhuo, who decided to say everything, breathed a sigh of relief, and his face looked better. But as long as it is a person, he can detect a hidden fear on his face: "Here's the thing...... As you said, I swept around, and when I found that the situation was not good, I immediately snatched you back and sent you to the base of the wall. ”

"That's really thanks to Brother Meng."

"It's all a trivial matter, if you have any feelings, listen to me first." Meng Zhuo continued: "After your soul encounter, the strength of the monster has been further improved, and it has almost formed an overwhelming advantage over me. So as soon as I fought him later, he took a flaw. He took advantage of my lack of attention and slashed at you. If it weren't for your senior sister who gave up her life to block the knife for you, you should be gone now, I really envy your relationship. ”

"Haha." Zhou Zhenggan laughed twice, a little absent-mindedly, and said perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, our senior sister and brother have always had a good relationship." ”

When Meng Zhuo heard this, his expression was a little strange, and he actually laughed twice: "Yes, I think so too." Then he added: "I don't know whether to envy her good fortune or her wealth...... Her personal magic weapon blocked most of the damage for her, allowing her to pick up a life from the monster's knife. ”

"Yes." So far, everything is very logical, and Zhou Zheng can't find anything wrong: "Then I can't blame you for my senior sister's matter, you don't have to blame yourself, why are you so nervous." ”

Shaking his head, the solemn look on Meng Zhuo's face did not soothe, but deepened. He stared, looked at Zhou Zheng, and said word by word: "You are relaxed because you don't remember what happened, but it just so happens that I do." ”

"What do you mean......" Zhou Zheng seemed to understand a little: "What did I do that scared you?" ”

No one will believe it when he says it, Meng Zhuo, the eldest disciple of the Pillow Flow Book Society, a famous young man of the Jiangnan generation, couldn't help but tremble just because he said a few words at this moment.

"Your senior sister was seriously injured by that monster, and then you went crazy." Meng Zhuo paused slightly, swallowed a few salivas, and added, "In front of me, you turned into a big black sky!" During the battle, Zhou Zheng shouted several times about the big black sky, and Meng Zhuo checked it briefly and checked it clearly and thoroughly.

"Daikokuten?" When he came to Zhou Zheng's side, he fully accepted the knowledge of the empty seal, and his current Buddhist knowledge reserve would never be less than that of any serious Buddhist disciple, and he would naturally not be a stranger to the Great Black Heaven.

"At that time, you were already incapacitated, but after your sister was injured, you got back on your feet. Then you manifested two angry vajra appearances, and then roared angrily, turning into a great black sky. ”

Meng Zhuo glanced at Zhou Zheng and saw that he was just silent, so he laughed at himself: "All this is happening around me, to be honest, I have never experienced such pure destructive power in my life, just the breath, it almost swallows me." You, who incarnated as the Great Black Sky, are so powerful that you didn't give Asura any chance at all, and you punched, closed, punched, and closed with your life...... Until the asura's dharma body is broken up. Do you know what you did next? ”

"Huh?" Zhou Zheng has amnesia, and of course he doesn't know what he did. However, from Meng Zhuo's tone, he could probably guess that he must have done something terrifying.

"The Dharma Body is scattered, but the Asura is not dead, only seriously injured. Then, as if he wanted to use some supernatural powers, he said that he would melt into the underground. But when you are illuminated by the gaze of your Dharma Body, it is useless.

Then your Dharmakaya ...... You dispersed your Dharma Body and returned to the battlefield with your own body, and then I watched you and watched as you peeled off his skin inch by inch and his bones one by one...... In the end, you ate his brain alive. Seriously, if you were me, wouldn't you be scared if you were in a room with such a person? ”

Zhou Zheng was a little incredulous, and vaguely remembered some scenes, and for a while, he didn't know what to say.

Meng Zhuo said gloomily on the side: "The most terrifying thing is that every time an Asura screams in pain, you will laugh and say that sentence. ”

"What?"

"The big black sky, darker than the dark!" Meng Zhuo's voice was very low, which startled Zhou Zheng: "At that time, I was your reaction. ”
