Put the cart before the horse
Xiang Nan looked towards the heavenly dome, and there was a beautiful world above the heavenly dome, where the people lived and worked in peace and contentment, and everyone had a satisfied smile on their faces.
And in the sea of fire below the mountain, there is a world of misery, and the people there suffer from the burning and suffering of the fire all the time.
In the dark, a voice appeared.
"A road to heaven, after stepping on it, you choose to live in a happy world, and from then on you have no worries. ”
"A road to the sea, after you go down, you choose a lifetime of suffering, and you can't get rid of it from then on. ”
Two steps of light appeared on the top of the mountain, one leading to the heavenly dome and the other to the sea of fire.
Xiang Nan looked up, he looked forward to life above the heavenly dome, he looked down, he was afraid of the torment in the sea of fire.
It's just that in the middle of the sea of fire, there is a hole in the ground that keeps spewing thin flames, and countless warriors pounced on it, blocking the hole with their own (body shēn) bodies, blocking the sea of fire.
It's just that this hole is still only one corner away, as long as Xiang Nan also jumps down and blocks the last corner with his (body shēn) body, the sea of fire will be extinguished.
But in this way, not only will he not be able to set foot on the heavenly dome again, but he will also sacrifice himself.
"Remember, it's all an illusion. ”
Xiang Nan's head suddenly ached violently, and a voice from memory sounded in his mind.
"Yes, it's all an illusion! The miserable world down the mountain is fake, it wants to confuse me to go on, and it wants me to give up my martial arts heart!"
"I remember! I'm undergoing the test of Bai Wuya's predecessors! This time, I must find my own martial arts, and I must not go wrong again. ”
Xiang Nan gritted his teeth and stepped onto the road to the heavenly dome.
"That's fake, everything down there is fake. Xiang Nan kept admonishing himself as he walked up.
But he can't help but look down, and every time he looks down, he can always see all kinds of life.
He saw women, old and young weeping bitterly in the sea of fire, he saw young men with unpaid ambitions dying in regret, and he saw the strong martial arts men fighting with their blood (flesh) to block the sea of fire.
As he watched, he gritted his teeth and continued to walk up.
When he had reached the edge of the heavenly dome, he was only one step away from the beautiful world above, and he could even hear the laughter of the people in the heavenly world, and the laughter was close to his ears.
But he could no longer hear the wails of the world below, and he was getting farther and farther away from suffering, and he was only one step away from being completely cut off.
"What about hallucinations, but now that I have seen the world below, can I deceive myself that I didn't see it? ”
"The heavenly world is indeed beautiful, but should the people of the dawn under the mountain suffer as they deserve?"
"Is it just because it's all fake that I can have peace of mind? ”
Xiang Nan gritted his teeth, slapped himself hard in the face, and said angrily: "I can't do it! I really can't do it!"
With that, he jumped directly from the path of the Heavenly Dome and threw himself into the sea of fire without hesitation.
Call......
Xiang Nan took a deep breath and came to his senses, he found that the Wu Pagoda was still the same Wu Tower, and Bai Wuya was still the same Bai Wuya.
It's just that the three teacups on the wooden table in front of (身shēn) are all empty.
Xiang Nan lowered his head and remained silent, he knew that he had lost.
"Why did you make such a choice?" Bai Wuya asked Xiang Nan curiously: "Even if you know it's fake, you still can't pass this level." ”
"Seniors, it's the younger generations who are incompetent, and the younger generations have nothing to say. Xiang Nan stood up and bowed to Bai Wuya.
Then he turned around and said, "Mengdie, let's go." ”
Mengdie also sighed and said, "Forget it, if you can't get by, you can't get by, this twelfth layer is too difficult, so don't blame yourself too much." ”
Saying that, Xiang Nan found Mengdie and Yuan Meng, and was about to go out.
At this time, Bai Wuya's laughter came from behind (身shēn): "Stay." ”
"Seniors. Xiang Nan turned his head and bowed respectfully: "The junior has disappointed you." ”
Bai Wuya smiled: "I didn't say you lost. ”
"Huh?" everyone was stunned.
Xiang Nan felt even more incredible, and he asked rhetorically: "You gave me three tests, and I lost all three times, is this not a loss?"
Bai Wuya asked rhetorically: "Why do you think that you are defeated?"
Xiang Nan hurriedly said: "You gave me three martial arts paths, but I didn't choose any of them in the end, isn't this betraying my Dao heart." ”
Bai Wuya laughed: "What is the Dao Heart? The Dao Heart is everyone's insistence, and every martial artist has his own Dao Heart, and it is different. ”
"If someone enters the Tao with evil, then if he always adheres to evil thoughts, he will live up to the Tao. ”
"If someone enters the Tao with suffering, then if he is greedy for pleasure, he can be regarded as giving up his Dao heart. ”
"The heart of the Tao is to have a clear conscience. ”
"Xiang Nan. Bai Wuya stood up, walked to Xiang Nan's side, and said, "You think that the three martial arts paths I gave you are the right path, but you are wrong. ”
"As I said, the road of martial arts is full of tribulations, and the road of martial arts is full of confusion, and the word martial arts is the obsession in your heart. ”
"You think that the baby of the first illusion is your tempering, the old man of the second illusion is your tempering, and the sea of fire of the third illusion is your tempering. ”
"But you're all wrong, the three trials I gave you, the three martial arts paths are your tempering. ”
Bai Wuya patted Xiang Nan on the shoulder: "When you are faced with a fork in the road and you only need to take half a step to the right to reach the peak of the martial arts, will you be able to withstand this kind of confusion and give up saving the baby and giving up your heaven (sex xìng)?"
"When you step up the mountain to reach the peak, are you willing to give up the old man and your loyalty and filial piety for this?"
"When you step into the sky and step on the pinnacle of martial arts, are you willing to give up your life and your righteousness for this? ”
"Those three martial arts paths, are they my (lure yòu) confusion?" Xiang Nan gasped.
"Hmm. Bai Wuya put his hands behind his back and said, "Your Dao heart is based on goodness, if you can give up your goodness in order to achieve your own martial arts, then your Dao heart is unstable." ”
"For thousands of years, you are the first and only one who has been able to pass the Dao Heart Trial. ”
"Even when you know that you are hallucinating, you still haven't turned your back on your Dao mind. ”
"What? what do you mean......" Xiang Nan hurriedly looked back at Mengdie and said, "Before, Mengdie reminded me that it was all an illusion, could it be that you arranged it." ”
"Hallucination?" Mengdie pointed to her nose strangely and said, "I haven't spoken." ”
Bai Wuya laughed: "That's right, that was also arranged by me." ”
"Ah...... I see. Xiang Nan woke up like a dream, and suddenly understood Bai Wuya's intentions.
Bai Wuya smiled slightly and said, "Xiang Nan, congratulations, you have completed the twelve-story martial tower." ”
"Wow!" Mengdie and Yuan Meng glanced at each other, and they all cheered happily.
Bai Wuya looked at Xiang Nan seriously: "To give you a piece of advice, martial artists should be based on martial arts, and what is martial arts based on?"
"The martial arts were created with the intention of protecting, saving, defending, and self-improvement. ”
"If you give up these for the sake of martial arts, it is the greatest blasphemy against the word martial arts, and you must not put the cart before the horse. ”
"Now. Bai Wuya pressed his index finger against Xiang Nan's eyebrows and said, "I will create a book for you, unique in the world, specifically for your personal martial arts." ”
