Chapter 22: Old Habits of War

In the next few days, Wu Ming stayed with Xia Bingyun, drinking, playing the piano, playing chess, and painting every day, which was really unhappy. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Wu Ming is immersed in this because he wants to tease out all the old habits, to completely stimulate his playful and flashy heart, and he wants to let himself fall into it completely.

And Xia Bingyun felt the sweetness of love.

......

The days passed like this, and the two of them had their own thoughts, but neither of them mentioned it.

On this day, the two drank in the courtyard again, and when they drank to the fullest, Xia Bingyun proposed to draw a picture of drinking to record the happiness of the day, and Wu Ming also agreed.

Slightly drunk, Wu Ming picked up the pen quickly, and a slightly hazy picture appeared outlined. In the picture, a young man and woman are drinking and playing, so unhappy that they can be heard whispering outside the picture.

Xia Bingyun leaned beside Wu Ming, grinding the ink while adding a stroke from time to time, causing Wu Ming to exclaim again and again.

"Hey, I'm not like that, you painted my nose crooked!"

"Hey, how can it be changed like this? It makes it look like a young woman coaxing her son. ”

Xia Bingyun didn't listen, but still came to make a stroke from time to time.

"Hmph, I'm just going to change it like this, your nose is a little crooked to look good!"

"Son, Wu Ming, why don't you pretend to be my son, thinking of this, people are excited!"

Wu Ming saw that she had been making trouble, but she didn't really care, anyway, this was a game for the two.

After a short time, the painting was completed, and Wu Ming looked at it, only to see that in the painting, a man and a woman were immersed in laughter and play, as if there was affection between their eyebrows and eyes.

"Wonderful! wonderful!haha!" Wu Ming laughed.

Xia Bingyun was stunned to watch from the side.

At this moment, Wu Ming was suddenly stunned.

Xia Bingyun noticed his strangeness and asked, "What's wrong?"

The smile on Wu Ming's face disappeared, and he casually knocked over the drawing board in front of him to the ground and said, "You go." ”

Xia Bingyun was surprised, hurriedly picked up the drawing board, and asked again and again: "Wu Ming, what's wrong with you? It's fine, why are you crazy?"

Wu Ming's face was like frost, and he said angrily: "If you want to go, you can leave, why do you ask so much? I am annoyed when I see you, hurry up and get out of me!" After that, Wu Ming no longer paid attention to Xia Bingyun, turned around and walked into the house, and closed the door with his backhand.

Xia Bingyun froze in place, many thoughts turned in her mind in an instant, and tears couldn't help falling, and when she was crying sadly, a strange smile appeared on her face.

"Well, I should be content with these few happy days. The master must be coming back soon, and Wu Ming must be afraid that my master will deal with him when he returns, and maybe he will have to deal with his family. That's fine...... However, Wu Ming, don't worry, I will definitely beg the master to let you go. ”

Xia Bingyun made up his mind and turned to leave.

After a while, the door opened, and Wu Ming walked out. There was a solemn look on his face.

Just now, he had spoken in his head.

The old habits have reached their peak, the heart of fun has completely taken over him, and now, it is time for the final battle.

"Xia Bingyun, I'm sorry, I took advantage of you. Wu Ming said softly, "Before, you tempted me, and now, I use you, and we can be regarded as even." ”

Does Wu Ming have any affection for Xia Bingyun? Wu Ming himself does not know this. But one thing is certain, even if there is real affection, this affection must be under his control, and he cannot fall into this affection and cannot extricate himself.

......

For the next few days, Wu Ming practiced behind closed doors in the room.

According to the old way, the old habits have come out, the heart of fun has taken possession of him, and the next thing is to accept their test.

At this time, it is necessary to stay away from playing. Because, in the midst of play, you will not feel the control of the playful mind. Only if you stay away from playing, you can't have fun at this time, and the heart of fun will come out and tempt you to continue playing. It's up to you to keep it.

It has to be said that it was an uphill battle.

Just at the beginning, Wu Ming already felt very uncomfortable.

Old habits have sprung up, the heart of play has taken over him, and these days he has completely sunk into play. But now, he has to meditate, boring meditation, and it takes him a long time just to enter the state of meditation, because there is always a picture of the time of fun in his mind, and it is difficult to calm down.

And this is just the first step.

Just because you're calm doesn't mean you're done. It's like in a war, if you don't occupy a city, you'll have to defend it, lest it be taken again.

Wu Ming's heart was divided into three parts, one part was the heart of play, one part was the suppressive power of this heart of play, and the last part was his awareness heart.

Humans, unlike animals, also have feelings and thoughts, but their feelings and thoughts are too simple, so it is difficult for them to have awareness.

What is an awareness mind? It is the feeling of one's own feelings, the thoughts of one's own thoughts. For example, if you see a strong person, and you are afraid, it's your feelings, and then you realize that you're afraid, and you feel that it's not right, it's too cowardly, and that's your awareness.

These three parts of Wu Ming's heart, at this moment, the heart of fun occupies most of the territory, the suppressive power has almost disappeared, and the heart of awareness is cowering in the corner.

When Wu Ming wanted to meditate, the heart of fun came out to make trouble, and the reason why Wu Ming was able to stick to it was mainly because of the heart of awareness and the heart of suppression.

These two parts, though weak, are quite tenacious, and they are suppressed by the spirit of playfulness and rise up again to resist. Finally, the desire to have fun subsided for the time being, and these two parts raised their heads, allowing Wu Ming to meditate and cultivate.

But Wu Ming didn't dare to relax, because he knew that the heart of fun was just temporarily retreating, and the purpose of retreating might be to gather more strength to fight back.

Sure enough, it didn't take long for the playfulness to come out again.

Wonderful scenes, wonderful feelings, and novel ideas are all beckoning to Wu Ming, as if to say to Wu Ming: "Don't cultivate! How boring cultivation is, there are so many interesting things waiting for you, and there are still many wonderful experiences waiting for you to experience!"

One thought goes down, and the other comes up again, and it's really a wave of unsettled waves, stretching and gushing.

For a moment, they galloped around like wild horses. All of a sudden, they poured out like bugs.

After a while, Wu Ming only felt tired. Even he began to itch.

And to solve all this, it's very simple, go out and have fun, and it can be eliminated in no time.

However, going out and having fun is simple, but it is tantamount to admitting defeat to having fun.

Losing to the heart of fun? This is something that Wu Ming can't bear. So, no matter how painful it was, he still endured it.

When it was really unbearable, Wu Ming had to take out his old buddy again, the leather whip!

Using one kind of pain to cover up another kind of pain was the first way Wu Ming thought of it.

Wu Ming raised the leather whip, and was just about to whip it towards himself, when a voice came from the old way in his head: No!

Wu Ming wondered: Why not?

The old Tao said, "Do you want to press it down, or do you want to defeat it completely? To overcome it? Look at the pain. ”

Wu Ming, of course, wants to defeat it completely. Press it down, maybe the **** will come back again. Defeat it, and then there is no need to be afraid.

So he could only throw away the leather whip and continue to endure the double torture in his heart and body.

Wu Ming closed his eyes, and sweat began to appear on his head.

After a while, his body began to sweat as well.

Soon after, sweat poured down and turned him into a water man.

"Ah, I can't help it, if it goes on like this, I'll die!" Wu Ming felt that he would definitely be unable to help jumping up the next moment, but the next moment, he still sat still and didn't move.

"No, I'm so thirsty, I'm dying of thirst, I'm not bowing to the heart of fun, I'm just going to drink water. Wu Ming comforted himself, he thought that the next moment he would get up from meditation and go to have a good drink, but the next moment, he still sat still and did not move.

Man, for it turned out, was more endurable than he thought.

......

I don't know how long it took, Wu Ming only felt dizzy, and the heart of fun still threw a wink at him from time to time, and at the same time, he was also sleepy and wanted to sleep. He felt like he couldn't lift his eyelids.

Wu Ming lowered his head, fell into a half-asleep and half-awake space, and came to a fairyland in a trance, surrounded by romantic figures, some people were playing the piano, some were drinking and composing poems, and there were several beautiful fairy-like women dancing, the clouds were fluttering, and the fairy sound was misty.

"Huh?" As soon as Wu Ming raised his head, all the previous scenes disappeared, and it turned out that he had gone to sleep in the countryside for a while in just a short time.

An old voice came over his head: "Okay, now you can try that leather whip." ”

Wu Ming also understands the intentions of the old way. I didn't use a leather whip before, because I didn't want to use the pain of a leather whip to suppress the heart of fun. At this moment, he used a leather whip, but he used the pain of a leather whip to drive away the sleepiness.

The leather whip was raised, and there were bursts of whipping, and in the pain, Wu Ming felt a lot more sober.

So, he threw down the leather whip, sat cross-legged again, and began to cultivate.

......

The first day passed like this, and the next few days were pretty much the same.

It's a tug-of-war, and if you retreat, you lose.

Wu Ming has not retreated, he has been holding on, but he was originally full of confidence, and he doesn't know how long he can hold on at this moment.

Because, it's too painful.

Not only physical pain, but also mental pain.

Not fighting against the enemy on the surface, but against a part of his heart, he did not dare to relax a little. A little slackness may mean a full loss.

After a few days, the heart of fun has not succeeded, and at this time, wave after wave of strong impact has begun, and the pain on Wu Ming's side has quickly increased several times.

And in the midst of the pain, he also became more and more tired and yawned at every turn.

"That's not good," Wu Ming said secretly, "one, it's that this pain is too painful, I'm afraid I can't help it suddenly, and second, I'm always sleepy, and once I fall asleep, the mind of awareness is also dormant, and the heart of fun will lead me to have fun in my dreams, which is also considered a loss." ”

Wu Ming thought for a while, went outside and found two subordinates to come over and tie him to the bed.

"Don't let me loose until the time comes! And don't tell anyone else, not even my grandfather! If I doze off, you will splash me with cold water! You know?"

Both of them are blinded!

They don't understand, what is the little master going to do!

However, they can only do so.

Wu Ming meditated among the ropes, and he could feel that the time for a decisive battle was coming.

Either you die or I die! This time, he must win!

Not long after he made up his mind, the heart of fun beckoned to him again, and Wu Ming only felt that there seemed to be countless insects crawling around in his body, itching to death.

"No, I can't help it!" Wu Ming struggled to get up. However, the rope on his body bound him.

"Ahh

The two subordinates next to him couldn't bear it, and came over and said, "Little master, otherwise, we can untie it for you." ”

Wu Ming subconsciously wanted to agree, because he really wanted to move his muscles and bones, but then he remembered what the purpose of this rope was binding him.

"Get out!" he yelled at the two men, "I told you, and you have forgotten it, and you are not allowed to untie it until you have a child, and even if I let you untie it, you will not untie it, do you hear me?"

"Yes. The two men whispered in agreement and stepped aside.

Wu Ming thought to himself: If they are allowed to untie the ropes, that me, I am controlled by the heart of fun, and I am no longer the real me!

Therefore, the arrangement he made earlier cannot be overturned even by himself.

......

A few days later, Wu Ming fell ill.

Every day with the heart of fun, he has suffered too much, suffered too many sins, and his body finally can't hold on.

Wu Ming was lying on the bed, and his family came to visit. The two subordinates were a little scared after all, and they still reported Wu Ming's illness.

The arrival of his family made Wu Ming feel sorry.

In fact, what he was most afraid of when he tried the old way in his mind was to cause his family to worry.

However, in order to eliminate the sense of insecurity in his heart, for his own strength, and at the same time to ensure the safety of the entire Wu family, this method of testing demons is imperative for him.

When his family came to visit, he didn't speak, he didn't know how to explain to his family, perhaps, only when he became an innate state, his family would understand his hard work.

When his family saw him like this, they had no choice but to arrange a few subordinates to take care of him.

Wu Ming continued to fight against the heart of fun in the midst of illness.

......

A few more days passed, and in just a few days, Wu Ming had lost a lot of weight.

However, a smile began to appear on his face.

Wu Ming has overcome the heart of play.

It's not that the heart of fun is dead, but Wu Ming can not be swayed by the heart of fun.

"The heart of fun, this is also my heart, but why doesn't it listen to me?" At this time, Wu Ming was puzzled.

Wu Ming still has a lot of questions, but he has overcome the heart of fun, and he has been much more relaxed.

He felt as if he had become a whole new being.

Before, although the heart of fun was a part of him, he didn't listen to him and always made trouble for him.

But at this time, he has made the heart of fun bow down, he makes the other party disappear, and the other party will disappear.

It's amazing how it feels to be in control of your mind.

"Fire produces real gold", after the tempering of the heart of play, his mind has become stronger.

Wu Ming lifted the quilt and got up, so shocked that a group of subordinates next to him hurriedly surrounded him, and persuaded one after another, "Young master, your body is not well yet, you need to rest more!"

Wu Ming ignored them and walked towards the outside of the house, a gust of wind blew, making him feel more comfortable.

How many days have you not breathed such clean air?

"Haha!" Wu Ming laughed loudly, at this moment, he felt that his illness had all been cured.

"Go, put on the dishes, young master, I want to have a good meal! In addition, I will also call Tingyu, that new song should be almost practiced." Also, go and invite Xia Bingyun over!" Wu Ming ordered.

Now, he's not the same person he used to be.

At the beginning, he was weak-minded, and once he came into contact with these things, he would become addicted to them, so he had to stay away.

And now, his mind is too strong, and these things are no longer enough for him to indulge, so he doesn't need to be taboo.

His behavior at the moment was like showing off: "Come on, aren't you amazing, see if you can let me indulge in it again?"
