Aspiring to the Immortal Path Chapter 32: Selection (Part 1)
Inner Demonic Wishes, this is what every servant student must make before entering the academy - the family will not be stupid enough to believe you just based on your words.
Compared with the promise of red lips and white teeth, the inner demon's wish is obviously a more restrictive existence.
The wishes of the inner demons can be divided into big wishes, small wishes, and non-wants. For example, the big wish to destroy the Tianshen Palace that Tang Jie made was a big wish. However, Xu Muyang was rescued by Tang Jie and wanted to know the cause and effect. It can't even be called a "wish", it can only be called a non-wish.
Reluctance is like opening the door to do business. Whether it succeeds or fails is just a matter of one or two customers. It has basically no impact. It is just a matter of habit to work hard to maintain.
Small wishes are ordinary wishes, just like a company's contract transactions. Each transaction is much more critical. Losing one is not necessarily fatal, but it will inevitably have serious consequences and impacts. It cannot be ignored easily.
A big wish is like a big contract that affects the life or death of a company. Once it is not completed, it may face bank reminders, poor turnover, and direct bankruptcy.
Therefore, great vows should not be made lightly, but making great vows can help cultivators strengthen their Taoist heart, establish their heart foundation, and make their cultivation path smoother.
This is the nature of willingness.
Wish has both nature and content.
"I have a big ambition. From now on, every meal must have meat!"
This kind of nonsense can also be called a wish, but it is meaningless. It is causing trouble for yourself but will not bring any benefits.
As for a wish like "I have made a great wish to destroy the Tianshen Palace", this is a wish to destroy demons. It will not bring any benefits to Tang Jie when he is practicing, but he will get it when he faces the people of the Tianshen Palace in the future. Extra help, as for how the help is reflected, everyone is different.
For example, Shi Wu Nian's "I have a great ambition to break all the dharma in the world" is a wish to break the dharma. It does not mean that he can really break all the dharma in the world, but it can provide him with extra help when he breaks the dharma. It's just that his great wishing power is so miraculous that he can not only make temporary wishes every time he fights, but he can also modify his wishes, and even the price he pays for breaking his wishes is much smaller than ordinary people.
As for seeking eternal life and seeking freedom, this is called the fundamental wish, which is the foundation of a practitioner's lifelong pursuit. Therefore, most of the great wishes are fundamental wishes.
The great wish is the form, the wish to destroy demons is the fundamental wish, and the wish to break the law is the content. It can be made into a big wish or a small wish.
The servants of major families generally make a wish to their family before enrolling in school. This type of wish is called a wish to repay a favor, and the specific content varies.
Since it involves Immortal Foundation Dao Fruit, the family generally does not force servants to learn to make big aspirations, but small wishes are still necessary, but if someone is willing to make big aspirations, they will not stop them.
The reason why Tang Jie thought that Shi Mo still had a chance was because of this inner demon's great wish.
In the past, Shi Mo thought that he still had a chance and would definitely not raise his promise to apply for admission. However, this incident has once again brought Shi Mo to the forefront, which made him realize that it is impossible for him to be married to his wife. If selected, you will no longer be superstitious about your identity as "secretary".
When people are in desperate situations, they often fight against the odds.
In order to enter the academy, Shi Mo's only way is to increase his return commitment and make the most advanced repayment wish in the form of a grand wish - when you can't borrow money, increase the interest. The world will never lack venture capitalists. !
Of course, not everyone can do this.
You have to be qualified first.
And not all those who are truly qualified are willing to make such a choice.
The road to immortality is full of dangers and dangers. If you work hard just to be a high-level slave, it is better to live your life in peace and quiet.
But Tang Jie knew that Shi Mo was very likely to do this.
Because he knew Shi Mo, he could see the desire to get ahead and the desire for power in Shi Mo's eyes.
For this, he will fight even if he spends half his life.
At this moment, when he heard the words "Heart Demon's Great Wish", Manager Qin suddenly woke up and frowned: "If this is the case, it is indeed a bit troublesome. If it is not possible, you will have to do the same."
"It's just a matter of consumption, just like an auction, it depends on who pays the higher price. This kind of pursuit at any cost is not a matter of life and death, and it is unnecessary." Tang Jie shook his head and said: "I entrust the Wei family to Fu, if I can go to Xiyue College in the future, I will definitely repay the Wei family, but I haven’t planned to sell the rest of my life...Uncle Qin knows that my lifelong ambition is to be free and comfortable, although I haven’t made this wish yet. I have laid the foundation, but I have kept my true intention in mind. If I sold the rest of my life to cultivate immortality, I would have violated my true intention, and even embarking on the path to immortality would be meaningless. So I can accept this temporary servant, a temporary servant. , eternal life is like this, absolutely not!"
"No matter how ambitious you are, you have to enter the Immortal Sect. What's the use if you can't enter?"
"It's not necessarily impossible to get in. There is the simplest way to break Shi Mo's inner demon wish, but I don't really want to use it."
"What can I do?"
Tang Jie smiled and said: "Actually, the Wei family is not a family that cultivates immortality, and they don't really understand the demon's wish. I have been fortunate enough to have contact with immortals, and I know some things about the demon's wish."
"Have you ever been in contact with an immortal?" Manager Qin was shocked.
"Yes." Tang Jie nodded: "It was just a chance encounter. We got along briefly for a few days, and I got his guidance and learned some things about the world of immortality. As far as I know, the inner demon's great wish is actually There are still many constraints, and its effect is far less significant than everyone thinks."
"How do you say this?"
"Uncle Qin, does he know why cultivators have inner demons?"
"...I don't know." Qin Yuan is just an ordinary manager. He can know about the inner demon tribulation because he is well-informed. How can he know why there is a inner demon tribulation?
Tang Jie smiled and replied: "The five realms of cultivating immortals are Lingtai, Transcendence, Tianxin, Zifu, and Immortal Platform. Among them, Lingtai cultivates Qi. It opens up the spiritual sea in the body, absorbs the spiritual energy, and uses the spiritual energy. Generate various spells. However, this kind of spell can only be performed through its own consumption, and it does not change itself much. To put it bluntly, it just masters a method of using Qi, which is like the difference between mortals with weapons and without weapons. . After reaching the transcendent realm and opening the bridge between heaven and earth, the cultivator can use the spiritual energy in the body to mobilize the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to cast spells. At this time, the spiritual energy in the body is just an introduction and a boost. Human power has limits, but the power of heaven and earth is unlimited, so At this time, the Immortal Master truly has the ability to ascend to heaven and descend to the earth. In addition, another difference between the Transcendent Realm and the Lingtai is that you can use spiritual energy to refine yourself and become a new person. So does Uncle Qin know that the Heavenly Mind Realm What are you cultivating?"
Manager Qin shook his head blankly.
"Actually, Tianxinjing is further refined on the basis of refining oneself, but at this level, what they want to refine is no longer the body, but..." Tang Jie pointed to his head.
Guanshi Qin's heart trembled: "Head?"
"To be precise, it is the brain and consciousness. Although the transcendent realm is separated from the mortal body, the head is still a vital part. The heart will not die if it is damaged, but the head will still die because it is still ordinary. The brain It is the most delicate part of the human body. Even the immortals who have gone to heaven and earth in the transcendent realm cannot refine it at will. They must wait until their heavenly hearts are achieved before they can proceed in a step-by-step manner. Once achieved, they will be born. Spiritual thoughts, the next step is divine thoughts. The so-called spiritual thoughts or divine thoughts are actually our invisible consciousness transformed into tangible existence."
Hearing this, Manager Qin suddenly realized: "You mean this is how the inner demon tribulation came about?"
"That's right. When cultivating spiritual thoughts in the heavenly state of mind, the invisible becomes tangible, accompanied by the inner demons that also turn invisible into tangible. The inner demons are the thoughts in our hearts that we have regretted and regretted, and they are transformed in the spiritual thoughts. In the process, something is created out of nothing, born from transformation. To put it bluntly, it is just the difference between spiritual thoughts and demonic thoughts, just like the good and evil sides of human beings. Divine thoughts are controllable. If you cultivate to the highest level, you can move the world with your thoughts. There is no need to control them. In the Dynamic Technique, one thought arises and all dharma arises. This is the Purple Mansion Realm. Demonic thoughts are uncontrollable and will only backfire on one's body. Therefore, the inner demon tribulation is actually a great tribulation that can only occur in the heavenly state of mind."
"That means that if they are just ordinary spiritual masters, they are not afraid of the inner demon tribulation?"
"I'm afraid, but I'm just afraid that if I do too many bad things now, I'll take revenge in the future when I enter the heavenly state of mind. But if you make up your mind to stop and escape from the world and not strive for progress, then you really don't have to be afraid."
Manager Qin felt chills all over after hearing this: "But the spiritual master at home has never said this."
"Why did they say that?" Tang Jie asked back: "When they entered the Wei Mansion, they must have made a wish. Since they have made a wish, the reward will naturally be higher. Who would be full enough to tell the story? Master, I don’t intend to enter the heavenly state of mind in this life, why don’t you take my demonic wish seriously?”
"..." Manager Qin was completely speechless.
Tang Jie already smiled and said: "Actually, all the established immortal cultivating families know this kind of thing, but no one will tell it. After all, it is easy to offend people. You must know that many spiritual masters rely on this for their livelihood. After all, the Wei family has only been in power for a short time, and they don’t have their own spiritual master, so many things are unclear. Furthermore, those spiritual masters may not have the intention to deceive, and there are many spiritual masters who have not reached that stage, and they may not even know it. ”
"Why is this?" Qin Yuan was very curious, how could he not even know about the spiritual master?
"Because cultivation itself is extremely dangerous, and you will go crazy if you are not careful. If you know the later cultivation path too early, it is very likely that some cultivators will take risks and try it out of curiosity, but the ending will often be tragic! For safety reasons, most masters will not tell their juniors this early. Even if they know something, they will be warned not to talk about it and not to try it lightly."
"Then how do you..."
"The immortal didn't intend to accept me as his apprentice. I still don't understand any immortal magic, so I just chatted for a few words. Maybe he thought that it would be impossible for me to enter the academy in this life. "Tang Jie replied with a smile.
In fact, the reason why Xu Muyang told him this was, on the one hand, because he liked his calm personality and believed that he would not act recklessly. On the other hand, he drank a few too many glasses of wine that day and was unprepared for Tang Jie. If there are too many, just say it. Afterwards, he regretted it so much that he repeatedly reminded Tang Jie not to try it. Fortunately, Tang Jie does not think that he is a defiant person who can succeed in anything he tries, and he never takes things lightly when it comes to safety.
But Manager Qin walked back and forth a few steps, shook his head and said, "No, I must tell my wife about this."
"Forget it." Tang Jie advised him: "If you really say it, won't you be hated by those spiritual masters for the rest of your life? If you let them hold grudges... If they want to kill you, then you will die no matter what. I don’t know. In fact, those spiritual masters may not have the idea of impacting Tian’s state of mind. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, who is really willing to stop moving forward? So the inner demon wish still has a certain meaning, but don’t take it too seriously. Cannot be relied upon."
Hearing this, Manager Qin could only sigh: "I hope they don't know it themselves. You're right. If I go and find out, it won't be a good thing whether they know it or not. It will be even worse if you accidentally harm someone. My wife is still smart and has never pinned her loyalty on the demon's wish. She has always said that while the demon's wish is important, human nature is equally important. A two-pronged approach can ensure the safety of the family."
"That's it." Tang Jie said with a smile: "A truly smart person never superstitiously believes in things he doesn't understand, and he is still wise!"
"But since you can't say it out, you can't stop Shi Mo's great wish, so you can only choose to follow Shi Mo's example. At worst, it's better to stay in the world for the rest of your life than not being able to enter the immortal gate."
Unfortunately, Tang Jie was unwilling: "I won't bet my future. In fact, even if the Wei family really doesn't choose me, I am still confident that I can enter the Immortal Sect, but it will be a lot more troublesome."
Hearing this, Manager Qin was startled: "You said you have other ways to enter the Immortal Sect?"
Tang Jie replied: "Of course, Wenxin Country does not only have the Xiyue Sect. If I can't enter Xiyue Academy, is it possible that I can't go to other sects? It's just that Xiyue Academy is an authentic Taoist sect and can follow the right path. Why do I have to take the narrow path? If I am willing to stop and escape from the ordinary world, then Wen Xingguo has a lot of sects to choose from, and entering any of them is easier than entering Xiyue. What's more..."
He wanted to say that besides, I still have a way to win against Shi Mo. Unexpectedly, before he could finish his words, Manager Qin grabbed Tang Jie and said excitedly: "Does that mean you know how to join another sect? I beg you You have to help me, Xiao Jie!"
"Uncle Qin, what are you doing?" Tang Jie was stunned. He had never seen Manager Qin so excited, especially when he used the word "begging" to himself?
Manager Qin said excitedly: "Please help the Fourth Miss! She is going crazy thinking about cultivating immortality!"
————————————————
In the dim cabin, Wei Die sat nervously in front of Tang Jie, and next to him sat the equally nervous Manager Qin.
Rubbing his hands, Manager Qin said with some embarrassment: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiaojie. I've been watching Fourth Miss grow up. In fact, I have always treated her as my own daughter. Over the years, Fourth Miss As a woman, she has no chance to cultivate immortality. She feels bad, and I feel anxious when I see her..."
"I know that the year the Fourth Miss was born was also the year that Sister Xiaoru passed away, right?" Tang Jie said lightly.
Manager Qin shivered, lowered his head and started to sob softly.
Guanshi Qin originally had a daughter named Qin Ru, who was Qin Yuan's only daughter.
The year Wei Die was born, Qin Ru fell seriously ill and died. It happened that it was the time when Wei Die had just been born and everyone in the Wei family was busiest. Qin Yuan didn't even have time to take one last look at his daughter.
This was a huge blow to Qin Yuan.
A girl and a girl died. Just after Wei Die was born, Qin Yuan discovered that Wei Die was somewhat similar to his own daughter, so he couldn't help but put all his feelings on this girl. In his heart, he always There is an idea that Wei Die may be the reincarnation of his daughter. Although Wei Die was actually born earlier than Qin Ru died, Qin Yuan automatically ignored this and regarded her as the reincarnation of his own daughter.
Over the years, his fatherly love for Wei Die has never been a secret, but Manager Qin thought it was a secret. It wasn't until Tang Jie said it calmly at this moment that Manager Qin lowered his head tremblingly. Cry softly.
After a while, Manager Qin said: "Xiaojie, if you really have a way, teach the Fourth Miss how to enter the Immortal Sect. As long as you help me with this wish, you won't owe me anything in the future... ”
"Uncle Qin..."
Wei Die and Tang Jie shouted out at the same time.
Wei Die was touched. Not even her biological father Wei Qingsong had worked so **** cultivating immortality, but Manager Qin really tried his best and never let go of an opportunity.
Tang Jie was slightly dissatisfied: "Who does Uncle Qin think of me? I am one of his own, what do I owe? I will definitely try my best to deal with the Fourth Miss, but whether it can be done or not depends on me. It’s up to her.”
Wei Die has said hurriedly: "I want to become an immortal. No matter what the hardship, I am willing to endure it!"
"If you can cultivate immortality by enduring hardship, wouldn't it mean that all the immortals in the world are poor? Is it possible that rich families can endure more hardship than farmers?" Tang Jie answered disdainfully.
Wei Die blushed and could only say: "Then what do you think we should do?"
"If you want to enter the Immortal Sect, you must first establish a goal. Miss Fourth, let me ask you, why do you want to become an immortal..."
Wei Die thought seriously for a while before replying: "I want to become an immortal because I am not convinced. Why can a man do it but not a woman? This is not fair. Moreover, becoming an immortal and being free and easy is also a problem in itself. Pursuit."
"So you are cultivating immortality just to seek fairness and freedom?"
"Yes, fairness and freedom!" Wei Die said firmly.
"Okay, then let me ask you again, what do you think of you as a person? I mean, can you evaluate your temperament yourself?"
"Huh?" Wei Die didn't expect Tang Jie to ask this question. She was stunned for a while and finally murmured: "I think... I should be considered a... good girl..."
Wei Die was really embarrassed to say what he praised himself for. When he said the last few words, his face turned red with embarrassment. He lowered his head and did not dare to look at Tang Jie.
Qin Yuan said hurriedly: "Die'er is a good boy with a gentle temperament and is very generous to his servants."
Tang Jie said calmly: "What you say doesn't count."
"Huh?" This time it was Qin Yuan who spoke up.
Tang Jie replied: "Your feelings for Miss Fourth will prevent you from making a fair evaluation, so your evaluation cannot be counted. Who exactly is Miss Fourth needs to be observed with eyes, analyzed with heart, and analyzed with heart. Time will test, in my opinion, the fourth lady is still far from the evaluation of this kind-hearted person."
Wei Die's face turned red: "Tang Jie, I came here to beg you in person today because Uncle Qin said you had a way to help me step into the Immortal Sect. I didn't ask you to insult me. You asked What does this have to do with me stepping into the Immortal Sect?"
"Of course it does matter. If you can't get into Xiyue Academy, you can only settle for the next best thing. However, there is only one big sect in Wenxin Kingdom and countless small sects. Which sect is better to enter requires careful consideration. I know that for you, as long as you can enter the Immortal Sect, it will be fine, but there are some things that you are afraid of doing too hastily. If you don’t treat it carefully now, you will regret it in the future. The fourth lady is actually like a person who is about to starve to death now~IndoMTL .com~ Even if I grab a bite to eat, I will be hungry, but I cannot choose the immortal gate for my young lady at will. The fourth young lady needs to know that cultivating immortals is not that simple. Starting from the basics, you must be careful at every step. Once you go on a business trip If you make the wrong move, you may lose your chance for life."
As he said that, Tang Jie took out a piece of paper from his body, and Wei Die saw a row of names written on it. They were from all kinds of sects in Wenxin Kingdom except Xiyue Sect.
Tang Jie put the paper on the table and said: "Except for the Xiyue Sect, which is the only big sect in Wenxin Country, there are hundreds of other immortal sects, big and small. But does the eldest lady know that among these hundreds of sects? , there are actually very few people who can really lead to the great road. Some exercises may be good at the time, but they deviate from the great road and lay the wrong foundation. No matter how hard you work in the future, your achievements will be limited. The direction of life is very important. If you take the wrong path, then They are completely opposite. So the first question I asked the fourth lady was to know whether the fourth lady is determined to pursue the big road. If the fourth lady is not determined to do so, then let’s find the easiest place to get in and just make do with it.”
"How can that be done?" Wei Die had shouted: "I seek fairness, but not fooling!"
"That's good." Tang Jie shook the paper in his hand again: "There are a total of twenty-two sects on this page. They were specially selected by me. I think they have a promising future in cultivation. Since the Fourth Miss asked for the Daodao , then you have to start looking for these twenty-two sects."
"Wait a minute." Manager Qin was a little confused: "How do you know that these twenty-two sects can build a great road, but others can't?"
Tang Jie replied: "Look at history."
"Look at history?"
The two of them were confused by Tang Jie's answer.
"Yes, look at history! The heavens are unpredictable and the future cannot be predicted, but the future will always repeat history. So if you can understand history, you can understand the future!"
