"It's you?! When you finally show up, I know you're all the hell! I couldn't help but scream excitedly.

As I yelled, I looked around to see if I could attract anyone, but to my surprise, the whole world seemed to stand still, and everyone except me and the hook-nosed man paused.

"What the hell did you do?!" I yelled again.

"Ji Zang, if you continue like this, you will be starved to death and frozen to death, as long as you want, I can let you continue to enjoy the prosperity of the world here, why can't you live with yourself?" The hook-nosed man said.

"No matter how prosperous it is, it's false, I want my real life, not trapped in this fantasy and dreaming." I said in a calm tone.

From being drunk to living on the streets, with no food or clothing, I have experienced the ups and downs of life. After experiencing the warmth and coldness of the world, and experiencing so much, I feel that I have let go of everything.

"You really think you'll get out of here? I tell you, even if you starve yourself to death like this, the next day you will be resurrected and experience such pain in another beggar. You only need one sentence to enjoy the prosperity of the world, do you really want to experience endless pain here? The hook-nosed man said with a grim face.

"I'd rather go through endless pain than enjoy any more prosperity, it's just something that deceives my eyes." It's not that I hate material things, it's not that I hate wealth, but I know it. Everything here is false.

"Okay, you have a kind, I'll see how hard your bones are and how long they can last." The hook-nosed man said, wrapping his coat tightly and turning to leave.

Shortly after the hook-nosed man turned and left, I heard the latest weather news on the TV in the roadside shop that a cold snap would sweep across the country, and even the southern cities would cool below zero.

I knew that the other party must have done it, and he was forcing me to give in.

This night, the cold wind came as the weather forecast said, bringing freezing rain, freezing rain is more disgusting than heavy snow, this kind of zero raindrops, falling on the ground will freeze, falling on people's bodies, it is even more biting cold, I was wrapped in a torn coat, also frozen into an ice coat by freezing rain.

Even though I was paralyzed, I still felt that my bones were frosted, and my body was trembling involuntarily, and I felt as if my soul was frozen, as if thousands of knives made of ice had pierced my body.

I soon felt as if my soul was about to float, and at this moment, a figure appeared in front of me again: "Ji Zang, have you figured it out?" Do you really want to be frozen to death like this? I can take you to the hotel and get a good night's sleep. ”

I looked at the hook-nosed man who suddenly appeared, and cracked my mouth and smiled: "You are in such a hurry to find me, you must not be able to maintain the illusion, right?" I won't say yes, you give up. ”

The hook-nosed man's smile suddenly froze on his face, and then he gritted his teeth and said: "Okay, I want to see how you die, I tell you, don't think that if you die in the illusion, you can wake up in reality, if you die here, you will die in reality." ”

The hook-nosed man disappeared after speaking, and I looked at the eaves and railings on the side of the road, which were already hung with ice, and laughed silently: Even if I die, I will not stay in this illusion.

As the freezing rain fell, my body became colder and colder, and my whole consciousness gradually became blurred, and at this moment, the sound of a prayer wheel suddenly came from the distant street, and there was a faint sound of chanting scriptures.

Prayer wheel?! Tibetan scriptures?!

For a moment, I felt as if I had caught something, and I hurriedly spoke. With all his strength, he shouted: "Master, here I am!" ”

I don't know who is on the other side of the prayer wheel or who is reciting the Tibetan scriptures, but I know in my heart that it must be a highly respected master, and if I find him, I may be saved.

As I shouted these words, the sound of the prayer wheel and the chanting of the scriptures suddenly became louder and clearer, and they became closer and closer to me.

Soon, in the freezing rain, a monk wearing a red lama robe came to me, he was kind and kind-eyed, turning the prayer wheel with one hand and pinching the Dharma seal with the other, and walked quickly to me, looking at me with a smile: "Ji Zang, I finally found you." ”

Looking at the master's face, in an instant, countless memories poured into my mind, this is the information of Master Chebo, the nine-story demon tower and the hell gate, the whereabouts of Ji Ling and the situation we encountered in the demon tower, all poured into my mind.

Then, my world began to change, and the freezing rain stopped. The chill on my body cleared, the shops on both sides of the street began to crumble and turn to ashes, and my hands and feet regained consciousness and stood up again.

Then, a black wall reappeared in front of my eyes, a black wall made of corpses. Dense human hands and feet and the sharp claws of beasts and birds of prey hung like tentacles on the walls.

And right in front of my face was the head of a demon beast, with a hawk's beak, red eyes, and a strange smile on his face. However, at this moment, his red eyes began to slowly dim, and finally turned completely black, and then closed his eyes.

Master Chebo stood in front of me with a smile and said, "Jizang, congratulations. You can be regarded as a blessing in disguise, and you have experienced a demon's journey of refining your heart. ”

"Journey to Refining the Heart?" I'm a little curious, it's the first time I've heard this.

"Yes, in the earliest days, the demons who came to the world through the gates of hell were very weak, so they came up with a solution. The rules were made to test people's hearts with illusions, and if the tested people got lost in it, they would be swallowed by demons, and if the tested people walked out of the illusions, they would be wiped out. Master Chebo explained.

I couldn't help but be stunned. How does this sound so much like the deeds of the devils in Western mythology and legend? Those devils also play with people's hearts, make the rules of the game, and will abide by the rules to play together. Of course, few people can survive the test of the devil, and nine times out of ten it is the devil who is reaping the benefits.

"But Master, in that illusion. I feel like if you hadn't found me, I would probably have been played to death by this demon, I feel like I'm really going to freeze to death, will I really die if I freeze to death? I asked.

"That's because this is the interior of the nine-story demon tower, and the gates of hell are likely to have been opened, and the power of the demons will be infinitely amplified. Therefore, even if you can stand the test, it is difficult to come out directly without any external help. Master Chebo explained with a smile.

"This nine-story demon tower is too dangerous, isn't it?" I couldn't help complaining, and then I thought of a possibility, and hurriedly said, "Master." Am I delaying the progress of the team? I didn't expect to be confused. ”

"It's okay, you think you've spent a long time in the illusion, in fact, it's only ten minutes, in fact, that's fine, I was still worried that you wouldn't be able to follow me into the deepest part of the Nine-Story Demon Tower, after all, I can't protect you all the time, I didn't expect you to be able to pass the journey of heart refining, so that we can go deep into the deepest depths." Master Chebo said.

"Huh?! What's going on? "I'm a little scratchy.

"Let's say as we walk, now that the first layer of the nine-story demon tower is no longer harmful to you, we can directly look for the entrance to the second layer." Master Chebo said, leading me forward.

Listen to Master Chebo. Only then did I realize that the nine-story demon tower was not only a demon tower leading to the gate of hell, it was sealed with demons, and it was also eroded by the power of demons, and here, the power of demons and the power of King Gesar formed a delicate balance.

Enter the Nine-Story Demon Tower. It is necessary to go through the journey of refining the mind of demons, not a person who is not mentally strong, and cannot pass the test at all, Master Chebo can see that I am not the kind of person with a clear heart, so he has been protecting me along the way, but he has not noticed it for a while. I still got the trick.

It's just that after I was hit, I accidentally passed the journey of heart refining, which made my mind a lot stronger, and I had the possibility of passing through the nine-story demon tower.

"Master, according to what you said, this nine-story demon tower. Do you need to go through a different illusion test to enter each layer? "I seem to have grasped the crux of the matter.

"Definitely. Demons are originally good at manipulating people's hearts, this is their natural ability, as for other combat skills, it is only the ability that they have after their strength is grown, and it is not as handy as the ability to manipulate people's hearts, not to mention that there is also the power of King Gesar and his warriors in the nine-story demon tower, and these demons cannot directly control other forces, so the illusion test is the biggest problem that needs to be faced when entering the nine-story demon tower. ”

I looked at the people who were silently following behind us, and couldn't help but ask, "Why do I feel that I am the only one who has been tested, and the others seem to have nothing happened?" ”

"Because all the minds of all the people here are quite determined, only you have not experienced the baptism of the Dharma, and you are entangled by the troubles of the world, and you are easily manipulated by demons. You can just ignore it. ”

Listening to Master Chebo's words, I was speechless, I had been tossing in the illusion for more than a year, suffering so much, and I almost didn't escape, and for Master Chebo and them. Breaking such an illusion is as simple as drinking cold water.

It's also too devastating.

At this time, Master Chebo suddenly stopped and said, "By the way, there is a very important matter that I need to explain to you. ”
