Chapter Nine: Two Ways to Temper the Heart (Part II)
After that, he stepped onto the bridge deck. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
I saw that he walked calmly and slowly.
In a few breaths, he gradually walked out of more than a dozen feet away, deep and into the fog......
Zhu Jue was deep and in the mist, the sandalwood fragrance in front of his nose became stronger and stronger, but his eyelids became heavier and heavier.
I couldn't help but close my eyes, and the illusions had already struck......
In front of him, there is a sea of soldiers and blood.
Your own corpses are all over the field, and you are the only one left!
On the opposite side, there were countless cavalry. Following behind a general, rumbling on horseback......
Seeing that the blood-dripping broadsword of the military general in front of him has been raised, he is about to slash it on the head!
At the last moment, life hangs by a thread!
Hold on to a glimmer of clarity in your mind. Zhu Jue told himself: This is an illusion, this is an illusion......
But how to break this situation?
Yes!
With my body and my absence of body, what fear do I have?
Come and kill me...... I'm gone.
Zhu Jue did not dodge or block, sat gently in place, meditating, his eyes were calm, not afraid or angry.
I saw that the light of the knife flashed, and it slashed diagonally, and it passed through his body and body without hurting a single bit.
Really!
Seeing that the sword did not make a contribution, the military general was surprised. After a breath, the body and body suddenly began to shatter and disappear, and the thousands of troops and horses behind him were also shattered and disappeared......
Gradually, even the illusion disappeared......
When he opened his eyes, Zhu Jue found himself sitting on the bridge, his body swaying with the rope bridge.
The fog is deep, but the sandalwood is still there.
I see!
When the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction.
Zhu Jue felt that he had found some tricks.
As long as there is no chaos in the illusion, the same is true in reality.
Standing up, Zhu Jue continued to move forward.
The pace is slow, and it looks like it is about to pass the halfway point, but this is the lowest and most shaky position of the entire rope bridge.
Suddenly, I felt a strange smell.
In a flash, a new scene entered......
At this moment, Zhu Jue was in a green pool half waist deep in the valley.
The mountains here are full of flowers, the blue pond is clear, the air is fresh, and the birds are singing.
There are three or five stunning girls, obscene, half-covered, and playing in the water.
Seeing Zhu Jue's arrival, he was overjoyed and gathered around.
"What a handsome little brother. ”
"yes, you're in good shape......"
"Let's go ashore, shall we?"
"Sleep with us, okay......"
One by one, the orchid is fragrant, the jade fingers are caressed, and the laughter is feasted......
......
The red-faced first brother Zhu Jue He had seen this kind of hibiscus battle.
I just felt that my whole body was numb, and my mind was about to lose my mind, and a feeling of irresistible anesthesia gradually hit the depths of my brain that I had never experienced before......
It's not true!
Zhu Jue kept reminding himself.
They're all monsters, monsters! There could never be a woman like this......
It was as if they could turn into blue-faced and fanged spirits in the blink of an eye.
Only by constantly reminding yourself in this way can you retain that last trace of clarity.
In the half-dream drunkenness, a trace of clarity is still struggling.
I vaguely remember that there is an ancient Buddha in the Buddhist scriptures, and he was called the Venerable Shakya before attaining the Tao. The Demon King once used his three daughters to youhuo him. I didn't think I would have this treatment today.
But I can't hold it anymore.
That's it, since you can't stop it, then don't stop it!
Just do the ordinary true as yourself.
Get in without getting lost......
It's for enlightenment!
Thinking of this, Zhu Jue's eyes were no longer confused.
A few girls in their ears were still whispering: "Let's sleep, let's sleep......"
Zhu Jue nodded.
"Okay, sleep. ”
The girls were pleasantly surprised. Hurriedly pulled Zhu Jue to the meadow on the shore.
Before those girls could use their means, Zhu Jue plunged into the grass and fell asleep.
Let the girls push and resent, push and tease, but the teenager just ignored it.
"Didn't you say it's time to sleep...... I want to sleep, I just want to sleep! ”
Ignoring the girls' grievances, he turned over directly, and simply turned his face and fell asleep.
After a period of haze, the anger of the girls in my ears gradually faded away, and there was only a dull darkness in front of me......
......
When I opened my eyes again, I was already on the bridge.
At this moment, he was still lying on his stomach, and his posture was quite embarrassing.
I hurriedly got up and looked back, but I was already three-quarters of the way away!
I could already see the concerned gaze of Hara Ping behind the hazy fog on the opposite side.
Think about the trick Harahei just had...... Forget it, in the last paragraph, my brother won't take any risks. God knows if anyone will save me if I fall, I'm afraid it's too late to save me......
After thinking about it, he took out a fluffy needle from his sleeve.
The pine needles may have been soaked in pine resin a long time ago, and when dried, they were extremely hard, like steel needles - which were specially folded on the mountain road when they came.
He pulled off a pine needle, held it in his hand, and walked forward again.
After only a few steps, the pressure of the mist really increased suddenly!
Seeing that he was about to be confused, Zhu Jue pricked a needle in his buttocks earlier.
--The meat is thick, and it does not delay walking.
Enduring the pain, he took another step, and there was a confusion in front of him.
Without hesitation, Zhu Jue pricked another pine needle......
And so on and so forth...... With each step, a stitch falls.
Tearing a piece of cloth from his waist and biting it in his mouth, Zhu Jue was already sweating profusely in pain.
The steps are difficult, but they do not stop.
I don't know how many times I've been pierced.
The sensation of pain is becoming more and more numb, but its effect is becoming more and more limited......
I feel like I'm going to be in the dark again.
Consciousness is blurring.
......
He took another step and suddenly realized that he had stepped on the ground!
It's here!
Yuan Ping excitedly stepped forward and helped Zhu Jue: "I knew you could do it too!"
"Not necessarily ......"
Without the joy of success, Zhu Jue smiled palely, "I'm only halfway away...... Say I'm going to go twice!"
Then he turned his head and shouted in the direction he had come from in the fog, "I'm here, I'm going to go back now!"
Without waiting for a response from the other side, he turned around and stepped on the rope bridge again......
Yuan Ping saw that he couldn't stop it, so he had to silently watch from the rear, not daring to make a loud noise.
has just passed once, and Zhu Jue has long since lost his previous nervousness.
Who knew that after a few steps, Zhu Jue's face had already changed color.
The power of the Misty Phantom Array has increased a few points even more than when it first came over!
-- I thought I was familiar with the road, but the way back became more and more difficult.
In this case, if you go halfway, will the power of the maze be doubled?
With a bitter smile, Zhu Jue pulled off two pine needles this time......
In this way, with each step, two pieces are pierced on the jumping point of the back of the thigh. When the pain can't help but be sore, he can still hold on to a trace of clarity.
It was more than ten zhang repeated. There are only a few pine needles left in this canopy, and they are about to run out.
The way back is not yet a third of the way.
After a few more steps, the pine needles were really exhausted. Zhu Jue threw it away......
Now, it's up to your luck.
The corners of Zhu Jue's mouth had already bitten out a trace of blood, his eyes were wide open, and the whites of his eyes were bloodshot.
When I opened my eyes, what I saw in my head was already a different scene......
This time, he was on a swaying lonely boat, without oars and rudders, and it was about to capsize and sink at any time.
The river is boiling with blood...... Styx.
The boat was drifting with the current, but on both sides of the shore was a boundless hellish scene.
Frying pan, tongue pulling, intestine pulling, heart-draining......
Countless wild ghosts screamed in pain and begged for mercy, but those angry ghosts and pawns were still mechanically concocting the unjust souls under their feet. I saw stumps all over the field, bleeding like pulp. As far as the eye can see, it is dim and blood-red, without seeing the light of day, boundless......
There are the ghost pawns and ghost generals, seeing Zhu Jue's canoe in the river, they have gathered on both sides of the riverbank, shouting angrily, and the big knife and weapon continue to hit the water, as if looking forward to the boat to the shore, so as to send Zhu Jue's rare "fresh fat" to cook.
And the boat that Zhu Jue was in swayed and deflected in the tumbling river, as if it would dock at any time......
If you are an ordinary person, it is difficult not to panic at this moment.
Zhu Jue was still calm...... Maybe there's a way!
After closing my eyes and thinking for a long time, I suddenly remembered a few verses that I had read by chance:
-- The husband is the Taoist. Judah wood in the water. Seek the stream. It does not touch the two sides of the strait. Not for people. Not covered by ghosts and gods. Not inhabited by migratory streams. Nor is it corrupt...... I make sure this wood can enter the sea!
Yes!
I make sure this wood can enter the sea!
Zhu Jue's eyes lit up, and his heart was already determined.
Ignoring the viciousness of the situation, he began to recite this sentence silently and repeatedly.
The boat gradually stabilized......
Although the current is turbulent, it is difficult to stop the light boat in a straight line. The boat continued to flow down the river line without hurry......
The ghosts on both sides scolded viciously and angrily, but Zhu Jue just lowered his head and continued to chant.
Long......
Suddenly the front is clear, and the bloody River Styx has been exhausted...... There was a sudden blue sky in his eyes.
I saw that there were no clouds in the ocean.
The nose is sheared, a wisp of sea breeze is salty, and a few terns are singing high...... Xiong Zang Dun Shu!
Before I could take a closer look, the beautiful scene was suddenly shattered and disillusioned.
When I opened my eyes, I was still on the bridge, and the mountain wind and fog were still there.
Looking up, I estimated that after a few more steps, I would have crossed the halfway point of the rope bridge.
What lies ahead?
Pressing down a trace of apprehension, Zhu Jue settled down and moved forward again.
......
One step past the midpoint, sure enough, an inexplicable feeling hit.
How does this feel like ...... So wonderful?
If the feeling of walking on the bridge before was all the pressure of depression, then this moment is ...... The gloom is gone, and the body is light!
After repeating a few steps, it becomes more and more obvious.
Zhu Jue only felt that the accumulated disgust and perverse aura that had been accumulated when he crossed the bridge before was being withdrawn from his body and body, and he felt extremely comfortable and wonderful.
Is this what is often said that the extremes of things must be opposed?
The excited Zhu Jue's pace gradually accelerated, and the uncomfortable feeling of dispersion in the depression became more and more intense, and gradually he only felt empty in his heart and relaxed in his body.
It seems that not only the discomfort and disgust just now are gone, but even the boundless curse that has accumulated on the ill-fated self for more than ten years has disappeared.
Over the years, Zhu Jue, who has been plagued by bad luck, has not complained about the sky. But it is inevitable to feel self-pity and self-pity in my heart.
Now, I feel that the last trace of resentment and injustice hidden in the depths of my heart has gradually dissipated.
Yes. "The heavens will descend on the people, and they must first suffer their minds, strain their muscles and bones, starve their bodies and skins, empty their bodies, and do what they do, so they are motivated to endure and gain what they can't ......", why should they complain about the sky.
After this cleansing, I only feel that my heart is more refined.
Zhu Jue's eyes are bright and his heart is empty. But the pace has not stopped...... In the blink of an eye, we are almost at the end of the road......
I could already see that the fat man on the opposite side, Chen Mo, was so happy and excited that saliva flowed out.
Zhu Jue's pace stopped.
The heart is empty, but it feels like something precious is about to appear, and that feeling is familiar.
It seems that the memory buried deep in a certain time and space is about to wake up, as if I remembered something, but I couldn't remember anything.
It's like suddenly seeing a new self in the mirror, familiar and unfamiliar......
The last few steps were reluctant to be completed.
......
Long.
Finally, it was one step to the ground.
Chen Mo hugged the stunned Zhu Jue earlier, and burst into tears of joy.
"Big brother, you can really do it, you really can do it!"
After a few breaths, Zhu Juefang, who was still reminiscing, said lightly: "I've arrived." ”
He turned his head and looked at Elder Yu.
"How?"
......
