After climbing to the top of the mountain, what appeared in front of Huang Sheng and the others was a splendid Buddhist palace, but in front of them and the palace was separated by a lake with a diameter of more than 100 meters.

The water of this lake is so clear that you can clearly see that there is no life in the lake, and you can't detect any danger, but if you want to reach the palace in front of you, you are afraid that this lake will not be able to get around.

It looks like I can only swim over.

At the same time, Huang Shang found that there was also a stone monument erected next to the lake. Like the stone tablet next to the white jade staircase, this stone tablet also has a few lines of Zen words written on it in gold paint, and it seems to be a dialogue between the Buddha and Ka Ye.

Gaya: If there is karma, there must be appearance, and how can it confuse people's hearts?

The Buddha said: Life is created by oneself, the phase is born from the heart, everything in the world is the phase, the heart does not move, everything does not move, the heart does not change, everything does not change.

"Over to you!"

This kind of thing is naturally left to the insiders to solve, Huang Sheng glanced at Bi Xia and said.

"This is the Heart-Washing Pool!"

Bi Xia took a deep breath and said, "These bald people of the Buddha Gate are really stingy, but they are just a little treasure, and even the Yingxin Pool is used." ”

Speaking of this, Bi Xia paused slightly, and then continued: "This reflecting heart pool has the ability to reflect the heart, so as to generate from the heart. This refers not to the appearance, but to the heart of the demon, once into the pool, then the heart of the demon will be secretly born, to prevent you from crossing the river, and even let you immerse yourself in it, and finally die is estimated not to die, but either by the lake water enough choking, or the heart is broken, so it sinks...... Of course, it is also possible to detach from this. ”

Speaking of this, Bi Xia glanced at the black widow who was climbing on the stairs, as if there was some kind of obsession in his eyes, no matter how the bronze Buddha and the silver soul around him persuaded him, he sighed and said: "That woman is the best example, if I guess correctly, his inner demon should be his family, he may have seen his family in this heart pool, so he will be so out of shape after going back that day, and today he is so persistent." ”

"I think...... She didn't come for the treasures on the mountain, but just to see her family again. It's a pity that vanity is just vanity after all. ”

Suddenly, Bi Xia laughed at himself as if he had thought of something: "But I can't say anything about others, in fact, how can I not be like this...... Let's go......"

After saying that, Bi Xia seemed to be silent a lot, and the shyness on his face disappeared, and finally took the lead in stepping into the Yingxin Pool, and then sank to the bottom of the water.

“…… He can't swim? ”

Seeing Bi Xia sinking directly to the bottom of the water, he asked curiously: "What I just wanted to ask, what will happen if a landlubber falls in?" ”

"With the physique of a stranger, even if you can't swim, it is not difficult to walk through this hundred-meter lake. The difficult thing is how to get through your own demons. ”

glanced at Bi Xia, who began to walk under the water, but stopped after walking a few steps, as if he had fallen into some kind of illusion, Huang Sheng frowned slightly, then took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go, take care of yourself, we'll see you across the lake!" ”

After speaking, Huang Shang also walked into the water step by step like Bi Xia.

To Huang Shang's surprise, after walking into the water, he did not feel much buoyancy or resistance, as if he was not walking into a lake, but in a fog.

At the same time, the water waves in front of him also rippled slightly, and the amplitude of the ripples became larger and larger, and finally in the rippling water lines, a vague figure slowly took shape, turning into the appearance of the "iron man" Li Zhu.

Seeing Li Zhu's appearance, Huang Shang's heart trembled slightly.

Although he knew that what he was in front of him was an illusion and a demon, the guilt he felt for Li Zhu in his heart had not dissipated. He had asked himself more than once if he hadn't kept his strength and hole cards that day and went all out, would Li Zhu have survived.

The answer is unknown, maybe it can, maybe it can't, but Huang Shang can't let go for a long time.

It seems that Bi Xia is right, this reflection pool can indeed reflect the regret and guilt in people's hearts, thus forming inner demons.

"Brother Huang!"

Seeing Huang Shang, Li Zhu smiled as if he had been alive and said, "You are the best person for me, and I will hand over my life to you in the future." ”

Hearing this, seeing this smile, Huang Shang's heart trembled again.

This is what Li Zhu once secretly came to tell him after he handed over the crystal nucleus and inheritance to Li Zhu. This honest and upright man, even with a little low intelligence, respects Huang Shang from the bottom of his heart and regards Huang Shang as his most trusted person, so that he is not good at words, and he even said these words.

"I'm sorry ......"

Li Zhu's words made Huang Sheng clench his fists, and a trace of complex and guilty emotions rose in his heart: "You gave me your life, but I failed to protect you." ”

"Yes, I trust you so much, respect you, and treat you as my most important person...... But why do you want to keep your strength? Why do you want to watch me die! ”

"I don't want to die, I still have a lot of things to do, you promised me to invite me to a luxurious dinner, you deceived me and betrayed me!"

"I want you to die with me!"

The heart demon is the heart demon after all, feeling the guilt in Huang Shang's heart, a trace of hideousness, resentment and madness appeared on Li Zhu's originally honest face, and then he jumped up and pounced towards Huang Shang.

Sou!

However, at this moment, Huang Shang, who had originally lowered his head to show guilt, suddenly reached out and grabbed Li Zhu's neck, and then slowly raised his head.

"I know I'm sorry for you...... But I can't die right now, and there's still a chance to get it back. ”

"The mistakes I made, I will make up for them with my own hands in the future!"

"Li Zhu, wait for me, even if you get to the underworld, Brother Huang will pull you back!"

The next moment, Huang Shang's eyes gradually became resolute, and then his right hand clenched tightly, and he actually pinched Li Zhu so hard, turning into a little black mist and disappearing.

At the same time, Huang Sheng seemed to have relieved a burden in his heart, and he was much more relaxed.

This is the role of the Reflecting Heart Pool, which is not only a level used by Buddhism to test disciples, but also the only way for Buddhism to help disciples eliminate their inner demons. Only by reflecting the inner mind, condensing the inner demons, and then getting rid of the inner demons, can the inner mind be transparent and the cultivation will be unhindered.

And just when Huang Sheng got rid of his first layer of demons, that is, his guilt for Li Zhu, Bi Xia also got rid of his demons, although his eyes were a little red, but he still walked forward firmly.

On the contrary, it is depraved, but it is as if it is immersed in some kind of illusion, and it is difficult to extricate itself.

Seeing this scene, Huang Sheng frowned slightly, wanting to help the degenerate.

But at the same time, the voice of the system sounded from Huang Shang's mind: "The heart demon can only be broken by external force, if the host forcibly intervenes, even if he can temporarily suppress his heart demon, it will leave a greater disaster, it is better to let the depraved himself break this heart demon." ”

Speaking of this, the system paused slightly, and then continued: "But the host doesn't have to worry, the Reflecting Heart Pool itself has the effect of weakening the heart demons, and the perseverance of the Fallen Will is not inferior to the host, he should be able to break the heart demons with his own strength." ”

"Okay......"

Hearing the system's words, Huang Shang was silent for a moment, and then continued to move forward with the bear child.

And after Huang Sheng and the others, Shenggu and the others, as well as the Taoist Elders and others who climbed to the top of the mountain one after another, also entered the Yingxin Pool and began to undergo the test.

Some people have tried other things along the way, such as using summoning abilities to summon pets to leap over the lake or paddle across the lake, but it doesn't make any sense. It seems that this pool of reflection has some kind of special power, and no matter how many people try, they will eventually fall into the lake and be tested.

And in the process of this test, some people with weak minds were soon entangled by demons and fell into endless illusions.

"Hahaha, these treasures are all mine, all mine!"

One laughed at the bottom of the water, his face full of ecstasy, as if he was constantly grasping something and stuffing it into his arms, but in the end, all he caught was the transparent lake water, but his own oxygen was rapidly consumed, and his face gradually turned blue, as if he was about to suffocate.

But even so, he didn't notice anything, and he was still laughing maniacally.

"Kill, kill all of you!"

"I'm not wrong, it's you who are wrong, who told you not to give me food, I don't care, what does it matter to me whether others live or die?"

"If you don't listen to me, I'll kill you all!"

The other man was full of murderous intent, roaring wildly, constantly swinging his fists and roaring at the bottom of the lake, as if he were fighting an invisible enemy.

"Hahaha, beauty, come on, come on, come here, I love you!"

"It's so beautiful, I want it, I want every one of you!"

Another person seems to be lustful/lustful, and he is lascivious/laughing at the bottom of the lake, and makes all kinds of unsightly actions.

At the same time, Black Widow seemed to have fallen into some kind of illusion, burst into tears, and finally burst into tears: "Son, husband, I miss you so much...... Don't leave me, don't leave me again, please! ”

In the last days, everyone is unhappy, everyone has experienced feelings of despair, pain, anger, fear, etc., and some people have even distorted their hearts because of this. And all these negative emotions and experiences, as well as the distorted mind, will become the demons of these people's hearts, and then they will be reflected in the reflection pool.

If they are weak and weak, they will be defeated by their demons and sink to the bottom of the lake, where they will not be sent ashore until they have passed out, and their challenge will fail.

Last time, the Bronze Buddha and others all lost at this level. Of course, this is not only because their demons are difficult to break, but also because they are breaking through for the first time at that time, and their hearts are full of all kinds of tension, excitement, and lack of determination, so they will be taken advantage of by the demons.

And after the experience of the last time, this time the Bronze Buddha and their performance have been much better, and it is very likely that they will pass this second level in one fell swoop.

But after all, only a small number of people can pass the level, and the vast majority of the supernatural people are finally defeated by their own demons like the bronze Buddha who broke through the level for the first time, trapped at the bottom of the lake, and it is difficult to get out, so they can only miss this opportunity in vain.
