Chapter 7: The Devil Troubles Hearts
The willows on the moon, the night has been dark, the fireworks in Yangzhou City leaning on the railing, walking on the way back is not in a hurry, smelling the light fragrance of flowers, and facing the night breeze that has gradually warmed. Listening to an old song not far away, meandering and tactful, the young man did not understand the love and hate in it. But my heart was infected by this poignant tune, and I stopped to listen. After a while, I continued to walk back. Then after finding a bright court, he took out a book in his arms. It was given by the sloppy man in the temple.
I saw that the quaint writing said "Pure Sutra", and the paper was slightly yellowed, thinking that it was some years. After opening the page, the opening chapter is "Lao Jun said: The avenue is invisible, giving birth to heaven and earth, the avenue is ruthless, running the sun and the moon, the avenue is nameless, and all things are nourished for a long time; the king does not know its name, and the strong name is called the Tao". There are hundreds of words sprinkled in the back, just looking at the beginning, Tianyi is a little dizzy, the beginning is so magnificent, it can be seen that its content is also extraordinary. He didn't understand what the so-called 'Tao' was. Read on without deep thought. "The Husband: There is clear and turbid, there is movement and stillness, the sky is clear and the earth is turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is quiet, the man is clear and the woman is turbid, the man is moving and the woman is quiet, reducing the cost and the end of the flow, and giving birth to all things, the source of turbidity of the pure, and the foundation of the stillness of the moving. Man can always be pure, and heaven and earth will return. After reading it lightly, I found that my mind was clearer, and the impetuousness that was originally suspended by the sound of the piano slowly calmed down. It's a real treasure, even though I'd love to read it all in one sitting. But then he noticed a group of people coming to the interface. He had been standing at the back of the courtyard, took two steps back, and ducked into the shadows.
When I walked in, I found that these people were wearing night clothes, masks on their faces, and only a pair of eyes were exposed. It's not a good person to think about, originally Tianyi didn't want to interfere in other people's affairs, after all, everyone has their own way of living. But when he saw several night walkers, each holding a bulging pocket in his hand, about half a man tall. It's still writhing inside, not making a 'whine' sound. Tian Yi suddenly thought of what this was, and his heart couldn't help but feel a little desolate, and then he jumped on the wall on the side. Whoever they really are.
After walking for about a stick of incense, the paths they chose were all shortcuts between the alleys, inaccessible, so no one noticed, and besides, they were very aware of the terrain, and they could get out in an instant at the slightest disturbance. Finally, they stopped in front of the back door of a richly decorated mansion, and struck the door panel with a certain regularity, and it didn't take long for a butler-like figure to open the door to a size that only allowed the head to enter and exit, stretched his head out, looked around, and carefully let the group of men in black in. Then the door slammed shut.
A conversation can then be heard inside. "Why did you come so late, and the staff and outsiders were in a hurry, do you know?" "You don't know, the government has been investigating tightly recently, and we all risked our lives to do it this time!" "Which government in Yangzhou dares to investigate you! It's all nonsense!" "·····"
As the group walked away, the sound gradually disappeared, Tianyi continued to follow, and finally found that they had built a small attic in the courtyard, surrounded by pink walls, green willows, three weeping flower gatehouses, and verandahs on all sides. The courtyard is connected with each other, the mountains and stones are dotted, there is no plaque in the attic, a few people waited at the door for a while, and a few brightly dressed women came out of it to take the black bag in their hands, and then went back and closed the door.
Tianyi watched on the roof for a long time, wanted to go in but didn't know what he was facing, wanted to leave but was a little unwilling, and was depressed. At this time, he saw a pot-bellied man come out of the attic, thinking that it had been a lot of wine, and his face was ruddy and his steps were vain. Slowly walked out of the yard under the guidance of a family member, this person knew him every day, and then he thought about it. Then he got up and left, remembering the location of the mansion before leaving. And I remembered his name 'Li Fu'.
Without stopping, he went back to his lodgings.
The night is deep, but there is no sleepiness in the heart, take out an inch and a half in the sleeve, dance solo under the moon, the moves on the "Heart Sword" pour out with the young man's body, the silver moon is the head, the young sword dance, a sword to punish the heart, two swords to the dust, kill the people who should be killed in the world, the fire that should not be extinguished in the heart, thousands of troops and thousands of horses, the monarch is in my bag, the king also kills, the minister also kills, God blocks and kills God, I kill the sky with my blood. Tianyi's swordsmanship is getting faster and more powerful, but the voice in his heart is getting louder and louder, thinking of the opponent who died in his hands along the way, and the young man who was killed by himself not long ago, he is obviously dead, but now Tianyi finds him standing in front of him. And behind him was the opponent who died at his own hands, and at this moment he was moving towards him step by step, and when he looked up the day after tomorrow, he found that the white moonlight above his head had turned bright red like blood. 'If I can kill you once, I can kill you twice!'
Tianyi is holding a foot and a half, stepping on Qingxuanbu, his body is like a ghost, punishing his heart and swordsmanship, sealing his throat with a sword, and taking a few breaths. Everyone had fallen to the ground, and then they stood up like no one else. Tianyi's eyes were red, but his mouth kept saying "kill, kill, kill", and if anyone saw him at this moment, they would think that he was a beast, not a man. The cloak is disheveled, and the face is hateful. At this time, it was not that no one was present, and a white-haired old man watched not far away under the bright moonlight in the courtyard. "I didn't expect to come so early, Tianyi, let's see what kind of potential you have."
The so-called inner demons are born from the heart, and the greater the inner pressure, the greater the inner demons. It is rumored on the rivers and lakes that there are old gods who will appear when they rise in the daytime, and they can destroy people's minds and kill people invisibly. Ordinary people generally don't have demons, or they are not so powerful, and they will not appear to put themselves in a desperate situation.
But the people in the rivers and lakes will kill more people will have demons in their hearts, and there are gods in the three feet above their heads, which shows that people still respect ghosts and gods, people are the spirits of all things, because there are spirits, so there will be resentment after being killed, and the murderers are killed, and the so-called good and evil cause and effect are also the consequences of personal actions. The more people you kill, the deeper your resentment, and the stronger your demons.
In the face of an inexhaustible opponent, Tianyi had a high-intensity fight for an hour, and he was already a little exhausted. His arms trembled slightly, his calves trembled a little, and he gasped for breath with his sword. In just a moment, he was surrounded by people, "Why did I kill me if I had no grievances with you?" the young man asked with a pale face. "I didn't poison me, why did you kill me!" Huang Yi asked viciously with a dagger stuck in his heart. "Give me my life!!"
Tianyi began to be afraid in his heart, after all, he was still a teenager, and he still had a great fear in the face of gods and ghosts. There were voices of denunciation all around, and Tianyi squatted down with his head covered, making him tremble and his body cold with fear. I saw that the young man led by him slowly walked in front of Tianyi, pulled out an inch and a half that had been inserted into the ground, and then waved it twice. Walking towards Tianyi step by step, Jian Feng pointed to Tianyi's body and said, "Begging for mercy, I will leave you with all your corpses!"
The cold sword carried a chill, and the pores around his neck were erected, and the cold stimulation made Tianyi calm down a little. He felt a foot and a half trembling slightly, as if calling Tianyi.
Shi Lao, who was not far away, saw Tianyi lifting his sword to his throat, he knew that Tianyi had failed, and he felt a pity in his heart but still wanted to save people. But he suddenly saw the sword stop, and then the corners of Tianyi's mouth raised an evil smile.
"Don't you want to kill me? Come on, you want me to beg for mercy, but there is no door!! What is death, if you live, you will die ten thousand times more terrible!" Tianyi opened his eyes, it was already cool, the moonlight was still so bright, and the foot and a half in his hand became peaceful, and the contact with the skin brought a slight coldness. He didn't know what happened before, but he knew that he had survived, and his mind was very fast at the moment, and he could remember many things that he hadn't thought of before, and his comprehension of "Sword of the Heart" was clearer. Then he found a place and sat down.
'The husband of the Tao: there is clear and turbid, there is movement and stillness, the sky is clear and turbid, the sky is moving and the earth is quiet, the man is clear and the woman is turbid, the man is moving and the woman is quiet, reducing the cost and the end of the stream, and giving birth to all things, the source of turbidity of the pure, and the foundation of the stillness of the moving. Man can always be pure, and heaven and earth will return. The heart of silently reciting the "Sutra of Tranquility" in his heart became more pure, and his understanding of this book deepened a lot, and the heart that had just run the "Sword of the Heart" was also quiet, half an hour later. As soon as the day was settled, he got up and patted the dust on his clothes.
He didn't know what kind of realm he was in now, but the experience of this night had made his cultivation refine a lot, if it was a glass of water before, now he only has a tenth of a glass of water. The essence in the body was even more vigorous after being refined, and a white light could appear outside the sword body with a light swing of one and a half feet. It's powerful, and tonight is really rewarding. Although he has gained a lot, he still has some doubts in his heart, how can "Heart Sword" be so domineering and dangerous, how can he be by his side with the nameless teacher in black. And if I hadn't read the "Jing Sutra" before, I'm afraid I would have been in a different place tonight.
Suddenly, he looked at the pavilion not far in front of him suspiciously, and found that Old Butler Shi was standing there, and he was usually not shocked, but it was obvious that he had a surprised look on his face. After discovering this problem, he was even more suspicious about how he could find out that Shi Lao was in that place. Obviously the distance was not close, and the place where Shi Lao was standing was in the shadows, with a lot of doubts, he slowly walked to the pavilion where Shi Lao was.
