Chapter 57: The Demon of the Heart

Qi Chu smiled: "You should really find someone to take care of you." Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Xu Jinyu raised his eyebrows and said, "I only listen to you all day." I didn't know what I thought, but I suddenly smiled. She was as cold as ice and snow in front of outsiders, but she was as warm as spring in front of Qi Chu.

Qi Chu said: "I didn't expect this matter to involve you." ”

Xu Jinyu said with a smile: "I have wasted ten years, and I am worried that I have nothing to do." ”

Qi Chu looked at her, "I've known each other for many years, and you're still the same." ”

"Have you changed?" Xu Jinyu smiled, she naturally knew that Qi Chu would not change.

"I want to change, but I just can't. Qi Chu drank another glass of wine, pushed open the window, and the night was coming to an end, and people were sleepless.

"Have you reached the realm of removing demons?" asked Xu Jinyu

Qi Chu's hand holding the cup suddenly trembled, and some wine in the cup was spilled, he put down the cup, turned his eyes to the window, and said for a long time: "Half a year ago, I reached the realm of removing demons. ”

Xu Jinyu recalled: "I remember when the master passed on our martial arts, he said: The highest level of Taoist cultivation is 'cutting three corpses', Buddhism must 'break obsession', and our Linglang Pavilion is to get rid of demons. ”

Qi Chu said: "That's right, the upper corpse of the three corpses is for one's own selfish desires, the middle corpse is the appetite for flesh, and the lower corpse is the lust of men and women; Master, his old man, set Buddhism and Taoism in one, and created the unique Linglang Pavilion to remove the heart demon, not only the fusion of cutting three corpses and breaking the obsession, but also the integration of all the cultivation methods in the world, this is the removal of the heart demon. ”

Xu Jinyu said: "Master said that only the head of Linglang Pavilion has the qualifications to remove heart demons, what is going on?"

Qi Chu said: "Because only the head of Linglang Pavilion can cultivate 'The Great Dao is Nameless', and since I practiced 'The Great Dao is Nameless', I have slowly discovered that it is actually the foundation of the martial arts of the Linglang Pavilion, but there are endless mysteries in it. If you haven't cultivated the "Great Dao Nameless", no matter how high your martial arts are, you can't integrate them, and once you reach the bottleneck, it will be difficult to break through for life, so you won't be able to reach the realm of removing demons. ”

Xu Jinyu asked: "Today I saw that you reacted abnormally when you were hit by your sister-in-law's words, I guessed that your heart demon has been achieved, I really didn't expect that you have reached the realm of removing the heart demon for ten years, if I start with you one day, if you are really ruthless, I'm afraid I won't even be able to catch three moves." ”

Qi Chu shook his head and said, "Do you really think it's good to reach the realm of heart demons?"

Xu Jinyu said: "Didn't Master say that once the heart demon is successfully eliminated, he can directly reach the Heavenly Dao Method, and no one in the world will be invincible?"

Qi Chu said: "That being said, do you know what it's like to have a demon in your heart?"

Xu Jinyu shook his head and listened to Qi Chu: "Although I haven't come to Yangzhou all these years, I have been tracking down the murderer on the rivers and lakes, and the hatred in my heart has become more and more over time, but I don't want to urge me to improve my martial arts quickly." I thought I had found a new path and found a shortcut in my long cultivation. But he couldn't imagine that with the growth of his skills, the demons gradually took shape, and he couldn't control them when he found them. ”

Xu Jinyu said worriedly: "Is there any discomfort?"

Qi Chu said: "The body is still a trivial matter, and the most troublesome thing for me is that the speed of the demon growth is much faster than I imagined, and whenever I think of the past, it will come out and devour my kindness." In order to suppress the demons in my heart, I re-studied Buddhism and cultivation, but after half a year, I found that the so-called Buddha and the Tao are the demons in my heart!"

"How is this possible?" Xu Jinyu looked at Qi Chu in surprise, no matter how she could not have imagined that the Buddha that had been passed down for thousands of years and the Tao pursued by thousands of people was the inner demon.

Qi Chu said: "The Buddha said that all dharmas are empty, not born or destroyed, not dirty or pure, not increased or decreased; Since the formation of my inner demon, if I think about it carefully, this inner demon is not born and immortal, not dirty and impure, I want to weaken it, but it does not increase or decrease, and it cannot be said or named. Isn't it true that the Buddha, the Tao, and the demons are the same?"

Xu Jinyu said: "What you said makes sense, but I can't understand it. ”

Qi Chu said: "Because you haven't reached this realm yet. Now I finally understand what the ancients mean when they say that one thought becomes a Buddha and one thought becomes a demon. In essence, the Buddha, the Tao and the demons are the same, but those who study Buddhism are good, those who cultivate the Tao are chic, and the demons are evil. It seems that the three paths are completely different, but in fact, they have the same path, and the cultivation to the final realm is the same, except that the Buddha is right, the Tao is in the middle, and the demon is evil. ”

Xu Jinyu said: "You mean that the final destination of the three paths of cultivation is the same, but learning Buddhism can do good, cultivating the Tao and cultivating oneself, and becoming a demon will cause trouble?"

Qi Chu said: "It can be understood in this way, I think the Tao that Lao Tzu said back then is actually the Buddha, but the saying is different, but in essence, the two are the same." It's just that few people in the later generations can understand it, and those who understand the mysteries are called monastic traitors and are spurned. I really don't know that the path is the way, and the road is the Buddha. ”

Xu Jinyu said: "Since "The Great Dao is Nameless" is the secret of Linglang Pavilion, is there a way to get rid of the demons in the heart?"

Qi Chu said: "It is not recorded, I think even the master ten years ago did not completely get rid of the demons. ”

Xu Jinyu said: "Master has the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, hasn't he gotten rid of the demons in his heart?"

Qi Chu nodded and said: "Master said this when he passed on my "The Great Road is Nameless": I have been crisscrossing the rivers and lakes for more than 30 years, not admiring fame and fortune, not seeking money, reading ancient and modern books, knowing the principles of heaven and earth, having the ability to strategize and fight a decisive battle for thousands of miles, and having the ability to move mountains and seas to create all things. In terms of resourcefulness, Zhuge Liang is no match for three or four out of ten of me, and in terms of talent, it is difficult for Wenqu Star to come into the world compared to one thousandth of me. I studied Buddhism and cultivated the Tao, integrating ten thousand laws into one, and I just wanted to become a person who had no ancients before and no one after me in martial arts, but I didn't think that standing on the top of the peak and looking at the mountains would I know that I was as small as a drop in the ocean in the universe. ”

Xu Jinyu said: "Listening to Master's words, why do you think that his old man seems to be a little disheartened. ”

Qi Chu said: "Master said to me: Even if I have the ability to penetrate the heavens and the earth, I can't save your junior sister and help your senior brother. If you talk about fate, you are the apprentice I picked up with good thoughts, so this "Great Road Nameless" will be given to you, and the future rise and fall of Linglang Pavilion will also be tied to you alone. ”

Xu Jinyu sighed: "It seems that the master is really sad. ”

Qi Chu said: "After the master gave me "The Great Dao is Nameless", he said that he will live in Changbai Mountain for a long time in the future, even if I have the love of master and apprentice and the grace of nurturing with him, I should not take it to heart." Because everything is providential, and he also does it. ”

Xu Jinyu sighed: "According to what you say, the master really didn't completely get rid of the demons back then, I don't know how his old man has been doing over the years?"

Qi Chu said: "Master is the first person in ancient and modern times, whether or not the demons are removed, there is no one in the world who can compare." ”

Xu Jinyu said: "That's right, in fact, the apprentice is to pray for the safety of his old man." Do you think Master thinks of us like this?"

Qi Chu's heart warmed and said: "Of course, if it weren't for the fear of disturbing the purity of his old man's house, I really want to go back to Changbai Mountain to see him." When it comes to his teacher, Qi Chu only has respect in his heart.

"When this matter is over, let's go back to Changbai Mountain, okay?" Xu Jinyu said

"Okay, don't you know if the peach blossoms on Changbai Mountain will bloom every year?" Qi Chu looked at Xu Jinyu, and many memories came to his heart.

Xu Jinyu said softly: "If the demon comes out again in the future, you can't bear it alone, you know?"

Qi Chu smiled: "Listen to you, the next time the demon comes out, I will find you to drink with me, and I won't stop if I don't get drunk." ”

Xu Jinyu smiled and said, "If you say it, you can't regret it." ”

Qi Chu said: "If you regret it, I will lie on the ground and let you ride a big horse." ”

Xu Jinyu said: "I am a master person, and I am still so unserious." He said so, but he was very happy in his heart, and this was how the two of them came over many days ago. She poured herself a glass of wine, clinked glasses with Qi Chu, and put it to her lips and tasted it carefully. The smell of wine entered the nose, and the whole person was drunk.

Qi Chu held the cup, his heart was full of mixed tastes, and after being entangled for so many years, he couldn't think that she couldn't let go of her the most, "When we return to Changbai Mountain, we won't come down again, okay?"

This is what he wanted to say to Xu Jinyu, but when the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them together with wine. Qi Chu knew that if he could really live in Changbai for a long time and retire to the rivers and lakes, why would he wait until ten years later?

Ten years ago, Xu Jinyu's mistakes were destined to be missed in this life.

I hope that the lovesickness will not see each other, and the tears will wash my face when I don't see it.

Lang Jun swallowed thousands of words, and his face was easy to get old, and his heart was difficult to change.
