154: What is a battle?

This man named Mingtian has remained calm from beginning to end, his conversation is long-winded, but not cumbersome, and he exudes a relaxed and humorous temperament everywhere.

A tripod of incense burner, edified with expensive Qi Nan wood, fragrant and compelling.

A good cup of tea, a handful of melon seeds, two men.

In the room, this peaceful atmosphere is refreshing.

"Ah, good tea, when Lao Tzu became the emperor, he was drinking those cups of tea foaming garbage for a whole year, or this Jin Junmei is delicious. ”

Mingtian exhaled hot, satisfied.

After the fight just now, although he was defeated, his anger was also vented, Meng Xianggu felt a lot calmer, but he still played with the pottery teacup in his hand sullenly, without saying a word.

"Heh, I understand, I understand, I apologize to you, what I said just now is too heavy, but if you don't let it out, it will affect our conversation. ”

Ming Tian patted Meng Xiang's shoulder with a smile and swallowed melon seeds to himself.

Glancing at this mortal, Meng Xiang still had some palpitations.

"You don't seem to be apologetic. ”

"Hey, I said you're such a little chicken?

"Forget it. Meng Xiang didn't have the heart to joke, and he didn't bother to talk to him.

But on second thought, something doesn't feel right.

"The power you had just now wasn't something that humans could have, were you? Aren't you a mortal? There shouldn't be a true element, right?"

"Oh, that's called the strange power of the fire scene. ”

"The fire... What force?"

"When people live and die, when they face the situation that they need to be guarded even if they give up their lives, with the perseverance to break through the limit, the power that can be comprehended, but this thing will be used to break life, mortals can only use it for three minutes in a lifetime, I am now a mortal immortal, I have a complete godhead, and I can use it casually. ”

"At the time of life and death... Give up the power to protect your life?"

Just rushed to this sentence, Meng Xiang felt that this Ming Tian was probably also a person with a story.

"By the way, I said kid..."

"My name is Meng Xiang..."

"Oh, little ghost Meng..."

"You'd better call me a brat. ”

"Oh, you can do anything. ”

Ming Tian knocked on the melon seeds, as if joking, and asked, "What does it feel like to lose to the same person twice?"

Click...

Meng Xiang's teacup was crushed.

But this time, Meng Xiang didn't refute, just hung his head weakly.

Looking at Meng Xiang's reaction, Ming Tian also smiled lightly.

"Then I'll ask you another way, why do you think you lost to the demon incarnation. ”

This Mingtian seems to know everything.

But on second thought, that's how it should be.

He is an immortal, after all, he is also an immortal, he has a complete godhead, omniscient inquiry, he knows everything in this world, and if he cooperates without confusion, he can predict the future, know the past and the present, and know everything.

"I am too genius, I have not experienced the darkness of the cultivation realm, and I have directly ascended to the position of the Immeasurable Immortal Emperor from mortals, I am self-righteous and inexperienced, and I was plotted by him. ”

Although he was very unwilling, Meng Xiang still calmly said the reason for his defeat.

However...

"I don't think so. ”

Stopping the action of knocking melon seeds, Ming Tian smiled and took out a new teacup and poured another cup of tea for Meng Xiang.

"What do you mean? In terms of strength, I am between the demon incarnation and the best, and my original golden armor is to restrain the Nine Calamities of the Futu Slaughter, plus I have the Extreme Dao Talisman Seal, no matter how you think about it, I win!"

Taking a sip of tea angrily, Meng Xiang had no interest in tasting the fragrance of Jin Junmei, just immersed in the pain of failure.

"The demon incarnation himself also said, it is because I don't have enough experience to fall into his scheme, his red cloud placenta, all the true yuan that I can use is absorbed by him, in the placenta, I will even increase the consumption of true yuan by a hundred times, this is the Tao method he studied for fifty years, it was I who acted recklessly without investigation, just..."

"That's. ”

Mingtian seemed to have lost his patience.

Although he still had a heartless smile on his face, Ming Tian's tone became much more solemn.

"It's all excuses, just like those dicks in the TV series, what I'm stronger than him, but he's treacherous and cunning. ”

"You..."

Ming Tian's words touched Meng Xiang's heart again.

Very unconvinced, Meng Xiang sat up straight: "Then you say, why did I lose?!"

"It's easy!"

Ming Tian raised his head with a smile and looked directly at Meng Xiang: "Because you don't know what a strong person is." ”

"I'm not strong?"

"No, I mean you don't know what a strong man is!"

"Does it make a difference?"

"Yes, you can only become a strong person if you know what a strong man is, otherwise... Heh, like I said, no matter how strong you are, you're just a kid. ”

Hearing this, Meng Xiang was stunned.

Yes, what is a strong man, Meng Xiang really didn't think about it.

Strong? No.

It's fast?

Wisdom is outstanding, and it seems to have some shortcomings.

Looking at Meng Xiang's puzzled expression, Ming Tian spoke.

"Whether a person is strong or not, it has nothing to do with strength, speed, wisdom, the so-called strength is just some external factors, the most important thing for the strong is this..."

Ming Tian gently hammered his chest with his fist.

Only when the heart is strong can we become a strong person. ”

"Heart?" Meng Xiang was a little dazed, feeling a little ridiculous.

"A strong heart is a strong man? This is ridiculous! I ask you, even if you say that you are strong in your heart and let you deal with an opponent who is far stronger than you, can you defeat him with your heart alone? I understand what you want to say, but in this world, many things must be solved by strength!"

Speaking of this, Meng Xiang was also stern and said his understanding: "Only if you have enough strength can you be qualified to discuss your heart!"

"Really?"

Ming Tian's expression also became serious.

The two looked at each other silently for a long time, and finally, Ming Tian asked.

"Then why did you lose to the Demon Avatar?"

"I said it all, it's because I don't have enough strength, and I don't have the strength to go to his conspiracy..."

"If you rely on strength in everything, and you can't do anything when you encounter something beyond your ability, then you don't deserve the power of the Immortal Emperor!"

Ming Tian interrupted Meng Xiang's words, as if he had guessed what Meng Xiang would say, and as if he was not interested in listening to what Meng Xiang wanted to say at all.

"I..."

Meng Xiang still wanted to refute, however, when he saw Ming Tian's eyes in front of him, his mouth seemed to be paralyzed, and he couldn't move.

What kind of eyes is this?

Ming Tian, this person who doesn't look serious, his eyes are blooming with a firmness that Meng Xiang has never seen in his life!

That is self-confidence in oneself, the persistence of one's own way, and the determination to never give in.

His eyes were blazing, exuding a spirit of steel, and just looking at him made Meng Xiang feel fear and retreat.

"What is strong? Is it self-confidence in strength? Is it the tempering of wisdom? Is it the perception of the situation? No! It is a strong !! that never gives up" (Note 1)

Ming Tian said firmly.

"You just want to taste the fruits of victory, but you have never considered defeat, and now that you are really defeated, you will be in a state of collapse, and the shattering of your Dao heart is the best proof that you dare not face reality! You don't know what a strong man is, and you don't know what a battle is! You can only say some bullshit chicken soup when you win, but you don't know how to cheer up after defeat! Your so-called three views are just condescending sympathy, and all your victories so far have not been obtained through fighting!"

"The so-called battle is not about who is stronger, but we must look at the reality that we don't want to see, we must move forward with the consciousness of being seriously injured, crawl with a broken foot, gnaw with a broken hand, this is a battle, and leave any disobedience and complaints to the grave!"

At this moment, the spirit in that look made Meng Xiang have to retreat.

What kind of experience did you have to cast such a look?

Meng Xiang seemed to see the pain he had experienced through Ming Tian's eyes, and even more saw the tears he had burst into when he broke down.

These words are by no means handsome.

This is the enlightenment that can only be achieved by those who have truly experienced great right and wrong, great joy and sorrow, and great pain and hatred!

Those eyes... It's the eyes that run out of tears!

Those eyes... It's a bittersweet eye!

Those eyes... It is the eye that has forgotten its sorrow!

Meng Xiang seemed to see his life from his eyes.

"Exactly... How can I become like you?" Meng Xiang asked, sluggishly, almost instinctively.

"Like me? no! You're going to be better than me. ”

Ming Tian chuckled and shook his head, adding, "Moreover, I found out something. ”

"What did you find?"

"I find that you kid is even worse than my son! Boy, I ask you: Do you want to save your friends and women?"

Ming Tian's question was noncommittal.

Meng Xiang replied almost without any hesitation: "Yes, what can be done?"

"Yes!"

Ming Tian's answer was also very decisive.

Standing up, from the cupboard behind him, Ming Tian took out a shiny axe.

"The demon incarnation has also been hit hard now, and there is no threat for the time being, if you really want to save Ugly and Rabbit Jingjing, then from today onwards, all your actions must be under my nose, you have to follow me, just like your little brother Ugly, you can do whatever I tell you to do. ”

"You have to respect me, love me, call me the boss, love me like you dad, I tell you to stand, you are not allowed to squat, you are not allowed to pee, you are not allowed to pee, you just want to die, you have to get my consent!"

"I'll show you my deeds. A truly strong man, even if he is powerless, can still use his own methods to contend with invincible enemies... Even if this strong enemy is the embodiment of a demon. ”

With a bang, Ming Tian slammed the axe on the table.

"So now, you first chop all the firewood at the door for Lao Tzu, and you are not allowed to eat dinner if you can't finish chopping!"
