At the moment when Xiao Yi stepped onto the ninth floor, the farmer and the tiger suddenly disappeared, and the sword wounds behind him were also intact.

Xiao Yi glanced at the demon who was still following him, and continued to climb up. After all the things just now, at this moment, his heart is neither happy nor sad, and he has no desires. But his goal is very clear, which is to reach the top.

It's a very complex, almost antagonistic mind, but at the same time it appears to him, and there is no conflict at all.

As the demon said, people are born with desires, and this is called sex. No one can escape "desire", not even Xiao Yi. The only thing people in the world can do is to take a correct view of "desire" and adopt the right way to obtain "desire".

If a person is always being "desired", although he is constantly approaching "desire", the process is painful and difficult. And if a person only thinks about how to work hard and can completely get rid of the trouble of "desire", then this person's life must be happy and enjoyable, and get twice the result with half the effort, and it is easier to obtain "desire" than others. If there is no desire, then there is rigidity, which is exactly the principle.

Seek "desire" in the absence of "desire". It seems to be contradictory, but it is actually the same. It all depends on the perception and attitude of the world.

Taoism was born without doing anything, and Confucianism entered the world with the purpose of bringing peace to the world. The world is peaceful, which is the common "desire" of Confucianism and Taoism, but the way of dealing with the world is different.

Xiao Yi sorted out his mixed thoughts, and finally let out a long breath and said softly: "Different paths lead to the same end." The way of the world, one also. ”

Along the way, the demon had no words. Because for such an upright and impartial person, I feel that whatever I say seems so pale and powerless.

Xiao Yi was rare for a moment of quietness and was happy. However, he knew it in his heart. The test at this level will be even more ferocious, and it is necessary to be vigilant at all times and not dare to be careless.

One hundred and eight steps were completed in a slow but determined pace, and strangely enough, the test never appeared.

Xiao Yi stood on the last step of the ninth floor, and couldn't help but look left and right with a little suspicion.

At this time. The rocks outside the road to the sky are gradually decreasing, replaced by steep rock walls. Neither man nor beast can gain a foothold on it.

Xiao Yi frowned slightly, and muttered, "Isn't there a test at this level?"

"Don't look for it, your test at this level is me. The voice of the demon came from below.

Xiao Yi was slightly startled, turned his head to stare at the demons, but did not speak for a while.

Although the aura of the heart demon had increased a lot at the eighth layer, it was still far from Xiao Yi's deity. It's worse than the thousand-year-old Tiger King.

The heart demon said: "At this level, you, or me, only one person can go out." ”

Xiao Yi shook his head and said, "You are wrong. It's just me here, not you at all. With that, he turned and went up again.

One step is a new step. Xiao Yi was a little settled in his heart, and secretly sighed. However. When he looked up, he was taken aback. But I saw that demon standing nearly a hundred steps above. He was looking at himself with a sneering face.

The demons are not entities, and it should not be difficult to be able to act out of thin air. But Xiao Yi knows that this matter is not so simple. He subconsciously looked to both sides, but saw that the mountains and rocks were still there, vaguely familiar. This is still the ninth layer of "people asking".

At this time, he heard the demon laugh and said: "There is a ban here, when you and I still have one person to stay here, the other person will only go around on the ninth floor, and it is impossible to go out at all." ”

Xiao Yi was silent. Still step by step, I walked up. When he came to the heart demon, the heart demon deliberately wanted to stop him, but in front of his upright and righteous qi, he was cowardly, and he couldn't help himself, so he involuntarily gave way to the side.

Xiao Yi didn't look at the demon in his heart, and still walked up.

The heart demon was furious and shouted: "Xiao Yi, you don't have to pretend to be high, there is a kind of you who kill me." Kill me, and you'll pass this level. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yi was still indifferent and ignored it, the demon in his heart was even more angry, and roared: "I know the darkness in your heart. Don't forget, you're just a little beggar. No matter how high your cultivation is, you can't erase the humble beggar in Jingshu's memory......"

Xiao Yi suddenly took shape and finally stopped.

Seeing this, the heart demon became even more unscrupulous, and said with a smile: "I am your heart demon, I know all the darkness in your heart, hahaha......" In the wild laughter, he secretly remembered with his heart, intending to suck the darkness in Xiao Yi's heart. However, the strange thing is that no matter how he does it, he can't absorb it at all. The more he laughed, the weaker he became, so he had to end up laughing.

Xiao Yi looked at the demon coldly and said, "You deliberately provoked me just to let me kill you." If I kill you once, you will increase by one point. I've known this for a long time. You don't have to work in vain now. ”

These words made the expression of the demon change greatly. The demon had sensed that the only victory in his hand was slipping away.

Then, Xiao Yi said solemnly: "There is no distinction between high and low, there is nothing else but the heart of the person." Do you remember the verses that your father once taught?

As if the demon had been hit hard, he took a few steps back and almost fell.

Xiao Yi turned around and continued to climb the stairs, but when he reached the last step, he stopped and fell into deep thought.

Seeing this, the heart demon suddenly became happy again, and said excitedly: "If you can't kill me, you will never be able to get out." ”

Xiao Yi shook his head and sighed, and said in his heart: "Why is my heart demon so ugly?" How did he know that compared to the heart demons of the two people before, his heart demons were already counted as good people.

After that, Xiao Yi suddenly sat down cross-legged, closed his eyes, and went to his own place.

The Heart Demon first felt a burst of surprise, but then smiled and said, "Do you think that through cultivation, you can destroy me? You must know that your cultivation has a part of me, and the higher your cultivation, the deeper my Dao power will be." If you want to die of old age here, I'll accompany you. ”

That being said, the demon in his heart was really worried that Xiao Yi would meditate to death. It's just because he knows the character of the deity too well: "Stick to your obsession and never die." If he really wants to die here, I will be buried with him. ”

The heart demon didn't want to die here, so he walked behind Xiao Yi lightly, condensed his Dao power on his right palm, and slapped it down.

Although the power of this palm is less than one-third of Xiao Yi's Dao power, if Xiao Yi does not resist, he will also suffer internal injuries.

However, Xiao Yi really didn't dodge, and he didn't block it, so he was slapped like this. But when he heard a "poof", all the palm power spit out and hit Xiao Yi's body. Xiao Yi pounced forward in response, snorted in pain, and resisted without falling.

Seeing this, the heart demon was overjoyed, and said with a smile: "You are looking for death!" (To be continued.) )
