Chapter 14: Trying the Devil
Wu Ming returned to his residence, prepared to practice for a while, and then rested. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
Recently, there was always a tingling sensation on his body from time to time, and based on his past experience, he understood that the aura he had absorbed was enough, and he should be about to break through to a third-level martial artist.
Wu Ming wanted to break through in one go.
It took him more than a year to become a first-level martial artist. It took him a few months to become a second-level martial artist. And it took him more than six years to become a third-level martial artist.
He's so far behind, he's going to catch up.
Suddenly, I heard an old voice in my head: "It's a pity that I didn't bring that Xia Bingyun over." ”
Wu Mingqi said: "What's the pity?"
"Today's good moonlight, bring that Xia Bingyun over, you drink and play the piano at the same time, wouldn't it be happy!"
Wu Ming thought that Lao Dao was joking with him, "Don't make fun of me." ”
Lao Dao said seriously: "No kidding. I'm serious. ”
"Seriously?" Wu Ming was a little puzzled, "I'm finally about to overcome my old bad habits, and you let me get that thing again, do you think I wasn't miserable enough before?" Besides, I threw out those pianos, wine, and so on. ”
"Miserable? If the bowstring is not pulled back, how can the bow and arrow gain the power to move forward? If the spring is not pressed downward, how can it gain the power to bounce up? Man, if it is not miserable, how can it have the strength to forge ahead? As long as it is not so miserable that it destroys yourself, miserable will only make you more powerful!" said the old man.
Wu Ming was stunned, and the old man's words sounded a little reasonable. "But, why should I feel uncomfortable with myself?" Now thinking of the decadent time before, Wu Ming still has palpitations.
"That being said," Wu Ming said, "but, isn't it good that I'm growing up normally like this?"
"Hey, hey. Lao Dao laughed a few times, but stopped talking.
"This old way, halfway through the words, hangs people's appetites!"
"Old way, old way!" Wu Ming shouted.
"Now, are you ready to listen to me?" said Lao Dao, obviously dissatisfied with Wu Ming's defense just now.
"Well, you say. Wu Ming was very respectful.
"Well," Lao Dao pondered for a moment, "remember what I told you about the control before? Just because you have a heart doesn't mean you're in control of it. Heart, as the master of one body, no matter how high your realm is, no matter how great your strength is, if this heart sinks, then everything will come to naught. ”
"Hmm, why did it get to my heart again?" Wu Ming was a little puzzled, but he still listened patiently.
"Miserable, it is to exercise your heart, exercise your willpower, and let you control your heart! Now, you have a certain amount of control over your heart, but it is far from enough! You are now overcoming the old habits, mainly by using the method of suppression, saying that suppression, is a nice way to say, in fact, you are escaping! And these old habits have not been eliminated by you, they are just hidden, and once the right time comes, they will come out again, and then, if you can't deal with it well, they will destroy you!"
"Escape?" Wu Ming thought for a moment, it was really like this, he didn't dare to play the piano or drink, because he was afraid that he wouldn't be able to resist their temptation and become addicted again.
"So, instead of waiting for them to jump out and destroy you, you should take the initiative to release them and fight them!" Lao Dao continued, "Why didn't you do this before? Because you were too weak before, and if you let them out, they will destroy you." It's like a bowstring, if you pull it back, it will create a forward thrust, but if it breaks, there will be nothing. And now, you are stronger, you are qualified to fight them! They will put pressure on you, but as long as you resist, they will not destroy you, but you can use them to train your heart, make your heart strong, and gradually control your heart!"
"Demons, grind also. All difficulties and setbacks are just stepping stones on the road to growth. Others regard the devil as a fearful path, but I want to test the devil and use the devil to achieve myself. Of course, if you're not brave enough, if you're not strong-willed, they can really ruin you, and I just ask, do you dare?"
Wu Ming also asked himself, "Do I dare?"
He knew that Lao Tao was right, those bad habits were not overcome by him, but only suppressed by him, no, not suppressed, but escaped.
Now, he doesn't dare to touch the old days, just because he is afraid.
"I'm not as vain as before, I'm not as angry as before, I've overcome all kinds of vices, and I'm back on the normal track, I think I've been a strong man, I think I've overcome myself and become a real man, but in fact, I'm still a weakling, I'm still a coward!"
"Am I going to be a coward? No!" This thought alone made Wu Ming extremely uncomfortable.
"Then what's there to hesitate about? Just come!" Wu Ming had already made a decision. If you can't stand it, the big deal is to sink again, and being a coward is not much better than that. If he resists, he will be able to become a real strong man, a strong man who has defeated himself.
......
That night, Wu Ming tossed and turned in bed, and the old words came to his mind from time to time, and his belief became more and more firm.
People, to live, is to pursue a little!
......
However, this is not too urgent. Wu Ming prepared to wait until he became a third-level martial artist before he began to execute. At that time, the family saw that he was caught in the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and the wind and snow, so I am afraid it would be easier to accept it.
......
On the second day, Wu Ming did not go to the Immortal Courtyard.
The Immortal Yuan is an enlightened institution, and the Immortal Yuan does not control whether the students are cultivating at home or going to the Immortal Academy to study.
Therefore, Wu Ming didn't go, and he didn't have to say hello to anyone.
After getting up early to practice for a while, Wu Ming went to have breakfast, and several elders asked, "Hey, why didn't Xiao Ming go to the Immortal Courtyard?"
"I practice at home. Wu Ming replied.
"Oh. Several elders were still relatively relieved about Wu Ming, and they didn't say much.
Then talking about what happened to Xia Bingyun yesterday, the people on the table were very angry, and they all scolded the Liu family for being shameless.
After Wu Zheng finished scolding, he said: "The Liu family is shameless and stupid enough, they want to rely on this Ascending Immortal Grass to put me down, does the Ascending Immortal Grass have so much power?"
"Shut up!" Wu Jian glared at him, "Are you embarrassed to say that you haven't felt any changes in yourself? irritable, irritable, and unwilling! The Ascending Immortal Grass doesn't seem to be powerful, but in fact, it is corrupting you in a hidden way. That Ascending Immortal Grass, you quit it for me as soon as possible!"
"Is it that serious?" Wu Zheng didn't care.
Wu Zhi also persuaded on the side: "Brother, listen to my father's words, you should quit the Ascending Immortal Grass." You may not even realize that your old love has been angry with me lately. I'm a little afraid to talk to you now. ”
Wu Zheng said without raising his head: "Take care of yourself!" I heard grandpa say just now, the Liu family is ready to let Xia Bingyun tempt you, now although Xia Bingyun is trapped in our house, it is difficult to guarantee that they will not arrange other people, when the time comes, don't be like our brother Ming, trapped by love!"
Wu Ming ate something in his mouth and said, "What are you doing with me?"
Wu Zhi laughed and said, "Trapped by love? Haha! You ask your father, is your father worried?"
There is a reason why Wu Zhi is so proud, since he was more than twenty-five years old and came out of the Longmen Immortal Academy, Wu Zhi has accepted many blind dates arranged by his family. Many girls are satisfied with Wu Zhi, but Wu Zhi has no feelings for beautiful girls.
Wu Zhi felt that he was not interested in beauty at all, and wanted to tempt himself with beauty, which was really a miscalculation!
Wu Jian said a little solemnly: "Xiaozhi, don't take it too seriously, simple beauty may indeed not be able to tempt you, but what if you add other things? Just like that Xia Bingyun, she not only has beauty, but also learned some charm techniques." Since the Liu family wants to deal with you, they will definitely use some tricks that are not easy to prevent. ”
"I see, father. Wu Zhidao, Wu Zhi is too obedient, which is why the family always arranges for him to go on a blind date.
Mrs. Wu is anxious to hold her great-grandson, among the three grandsons, Wu Zheng is the oldest, it is said that Wu Zheng should be arranged to go on a blind date, but Wu Zheng just doesn't go, and the family can't be too persecuted. Wu Ming is still young now, and he is still studying in Longmen Immortal Academy. The rest is Wu Zhi.
Wu Ming asked, "Grandpa, was Xia Bingyun's mother rescued yesterday?"
Wu Qing said: "I rescued it, and I am with Xia Bingyun." The Liu family is afraid that they will know that we did it, but what can they do if they know it? When people come to my Wu family, can they snatch it again?"
The two brothers Wu Zheng and Wu Zhi smiled and said: "Brother Ming, you are unforgettable!"
Wu Zheng asked rhetorically: "Why should I forget?"
Everyone was shocked.
"What does Xiao Ming mean by this? Could it be that he really still thinks about that Xia Bingyun? I don't want to think about what Xia Bingyun has done to him!"
Wu Ming lowered his head to eat, and said, "Grandpa, don't touch Xia Bingyun, I'll be useful when I turn around." ”
"Useful?" the crowd smacked the word, what does that mean?
Wu Qing said: "That Xia Bingyun, I wasn't prepared to do anything to her, but I just let her stay in our Wu family for a while." But, Xiao Ming, you ......"
Wu Zhuang said: "Okay, the scar forgets the pain, you little rabbit cub, do you still want to be the ghost you were before?"
Wu Nan also persuaded: "Brother, a girl like Xia Bingyun is not worth your memory." ”
Wu Ming said: "Who said I took a souvenir?" put down the dishes and chopsticks, and said to everyone at the table: "Grandpa, uncle, father, cousin, sister, you eat, I'm going to practice." With that, he turned and walked away.
Leaving everyone at the table, one by one full of doubts.
Wu Ming, what do you mean?
