In the center of the Lake of Tears, nine figures surrounded Xiao Ai, each sitting cross-legged in meditation.
Renjiao Master Xuandu, Li Changshou;
Chanjiao Guangchengzi, Taiyizhenren, Yudingzhenren;
Jiejiao Taoist Duobao , Our Lady of Jinling, Zhao Gongming, Fairy Yunxiao.
Nine Tao sect masters and nine Tao sect core saint disciples are gathered under the eighteenth level of hell in the underworld. They are less than ten feet away from Xiao Ai, the incarnation of Hou Tu Qi Qing, and they are concentrating on experiencing, Feeling...
The master's voice a moment ago still echoed in their ears:
[If you want to fight with the power of the seven emotions, you must experience such power to the end. What is it.
It is not a magical power or a magic method, but a resonance with our own emotions. We must each master the method of resisting the power of the seven emotions through confrontation with sadness.
For example, when facing Xiao Ai, we try to think of some happy things to offset the negative emotions in our hearts.
If you feel that you can’t hold it anymore, just retreat directly. The further away you are from Xiao Ai, the less affected you will be...]
So...
The scene of the disciples of the Nine Saints sitting around was not cool enough for a moment. Master Taiyi laughed out loud, with tears shining in the corners of his eyes. He quickly turned around and fled towards the distance, crying and laughing at the same time, showing his masterly demeanor. none.
Taoist Duobao sighed: "I never thought that Junior Brother Taiyi is also a sentimental person."
Guang Chengzi suddenly laughed and said nothing, feeling slightly embarrassed.
The other eight people were able to continue to persevere. Master Yuding, who came with Master Taiyi, showed no reaction at all, and just seemed to meditate quietly on the side.
"Alas," Xiao Ai lay there and sighed quietly, her tears couldn't stop falling down, and she murmured in a low voice:
"I'm so miserable. We are already miserable like this, and we still have to be used as a whetstone, and we still have to be watched...
This is probably the fate of our incarnations
Existence is false. It's just an extension that shouldn't exist.
You are surrounding me, thinking about how to get rid of me, and because of this excitement and being missed, I feel a little ridiculous in my heart. The joy...
It’s even more sad..."
"Oh, this poor Taoist is really bad!"
Taoist Duobao stood up and faced Xiao Ai made a bow, turned around and flew towards the distance.
"I can deal with the other seven emotions, but I can't stand this one! She is so pitiful!"
"Alas, the only person who felt sorry for me is gone. ”
Xiao Ai showed a sad smile and tapped her fingers gently on the lake of tears.
"Existence, what is there to be happy about?"
Our Lady of the Golden Spirit stood up, turned and walked towards the distance, leaving only a sigh when she walked far away. , raised his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes, and said:
"I am just like senior brother."
Three bonuses for death.
Li Changshou looked at Fairy Yunxiao beside him with some concern. Seeing that Yunxiao's Tao Yun and mood were all stable, he felt a little more at ease.
Half a day later, the remaining six people stood up, each bowed to Xiao Ai, and went to the edge of the Lake of Tears with the three immortals who had left before, to hold the first [Save Houtu] meeting. Special meetings.
**Master said: "Junior brothers and sisters, do you have a clear idea of the power of the seven emotions?"
All the immortals nodded.
Guangchengzi said warmly: "The seven emotions and six desires of living beings are unavoidable. You and I have been practicing for many years, but they are not obvious on weekdays.
The incarnation of the seven emotions of the great virtue Hou Tu is not the origin. Her own seven emotions are the incomplete seven emotions abandoned by all living beings before experiencing reincarnation, and their power is far beyond comparison with supernatural powers.
In order to truly save her, we must have the heart to tolerate the incarnation of her seven emotions. "Hua Qi Qing."
"What Senior Brother said makes sense," Taiyi Zhenren crossed his arms and nodded, expressing considerable approval, and then changed his voice, "But after thinking about it carefully, it seems that he didn't say it either. What."
Guangchengzi glared at Taiyi Zhenren, who rolled his eyes calmly.
"Then tell me," Guang Chengzi casually took out a large seal and held it in his hand, saying calmly, "How should we act specifically?"
Master Taiyi looked solemn. , said seriously:
"I just realized it carefully... Senior brother is right! Tolerance and love!"
"Don't be ridiculous," Xuandu The master smiled and said, "Junior brothers and sisters, do you still need to experience it for a while?"
All the immortals shook their heads, already understanding how to resist the power of the seven emotions.
The master then said: "Before, Chang Geng and I entered the Six Paths of Reincarnation and fought against evil and desire.
Ahem, under my cover, Chang Geng successfully passed through the Desire. The incarnation came into contact with Empress Houtu..."
"Oh?"
Zhao Gongming couldn't help but his eyes lit up, he looked at Li Changshou and said with a smile:
" It just so happens that my second sister is here, Chang Geng, please explain this in detail."
Fairy Yunxiao said hurriedly: "Brother, please don't do this, we are discussing business."
"It doesn't matter," Li Changshou agreed with a smile, took out scrolls one after another in his arms, and gave them to the male immortals with his immortal power.
Li Changshou suppressed his smile and said seriously:
"The incarnation of desire changes in many ways. For different Qi practitioners, she can be very strong or very weak. /p>
Unlike Xiao Ai, the incarnation of desire will take the initiative to stir up the desires in our hearts. This desire can be cultivation, power, wanting to gain respect from others, etc. As long as she takes advantage of her, the Taoist heart will The ** is thick and crazy.
After I withstood her several attacks, she also showed an extremely powerful ability - transforming into the ** of the living being itself, directly interfering with your Taoist mind. .
Fortunately, when she dealt with me, she turned into a **, and I just happened to bring some magic weapons to calm the Taoist heart...…It’s these scrolls.
You can carry them with you. If you are affected by the incarnation of desire during a fight, you can take them out and take a look. ”
The male immortals were full of curiosity, and each opened the scrolls one by one and looked at them carefully. The whole vast white lake of tears could suddenly be heard...
Suddenly , I don’t know who coughed dryly first, and several male immortals turned their heads and cast very complicated looks at Li Changshou.
Zhao Gongming took out a Sea Ding Pearl and looked it into his eyes. After squeezing hard, two small jets of water were sprayed out.
Taoist Duobao chuckled and rolled his eyes a few times. She didn't know what she thought of.
The Golden Spirit Mother leaned forward curiously. Glancing at the treasure map in Zhao Gongming's hand, his pretty face had a strange expression. Looking at Li Changshou's appearance at this time, he muttered: "Junior brother, could you have looked at yourself before meeting Junior Sister Yunxiao?" These masterpieces?
Li Changshou smiled and said: "This is just for self-defense. Why should I beware of Fairy Yunxiao?" "
Yunxiao pursed his lips and chuckled, but did not speak.
Zhenren Taiyi smiled and sighed: "No wonder, now all the Taoist disciples are outclassed by you.
The water god can do what ordinary people cannot, and is very human. "
Li Changshou smiled and said nothing, taking advantage of the situation to take the lead in the topic, and said slowly:
"After I found Empress Houtu, I talked with Empress Houtu for a long time.
Every senior brother and sister must have understood how and why the incarnation of the Seven Emotions came about, so I won’t go into details. I’ll just talk about how to deal with it.
According to the guidance of Empress Houtu, in order to solve the problem of the incarnation of the seven emotions, there must be a process of channeling and eruption. The seven emotions cannot be suppressed and can only be channeled out.
This process requires the incarnations of the seven emotions to come into the world together, influence and restrain each other, and reach a stable state like the seven emotions of ordinary people.
Then, let the great virtue Houtu return from the incarnation of the seven emotions to complete this rescue. "
He spoke for a moment, giving all the experts a short time to think.
Taoist Duobao muttered for a few times, "The incarnations of the seven emotions must appear at the same time, and the balance of the seven emotions must be achieved. ?
This is a bit difficult..."
Li Changshou nodded and concluded:
"This process is divided into four steps. The first step is To bring Xiao Ai back to the Six Paths of Reincarnation, the second step is to liberate the Seven Emotions incarnation of the Queen Tu, the third step is to regulate the power of the Seven Emotions incarnation, and the fourth step is to rescue the Queen Tu. "
The Golden Spirit Mother frowned and said: "Then, what should I do with Xiao Ai? "
Li Changshou was silent for a while.
"Don't you claim that the disciples of the Human Religion are the most resourceful? "Mother Jin Ling looked unbearable, "Why didn't you save her? ”
“Yes, but no. "
Li Changshou said: "They are originally part of Houtu Empress, but they have different temperaments and have independent Taoist hearts.
Neither you nor I are involved.I don’t know how painful it is to have the heart of the Tao divided like this. Isn’t the subject of the incarnation of the seven emotions none other than Queen Houtu? ”
The Holy Mother of Jinling hesitated to speak. She was of a high level. She was just affected by sadness at this time, so she naturally understood that what Li Changshou said was the truth.
Li Changshou He glanced at Yunxiao, quickly looked away, and continued:
"We now need to determine the division of labor for the third step, and I will make a detailed plan later.
Among the seven emotions at this time, small sadness is the strongest, followed by evil thoughts, desire ranks third, followed by fear and anger, and finally love and joy.
After all, when a living being goes to death, he rarely has happy thoughts, so there is not much love and joy left to Houtu Empress...
The aggression of evil and anger The strongest, but it needs to weaken the power of evil and increase the power of anger, so that evil thoughts can be alleviated and anger can quickly increase.
Evil thoughts have fought against my senior brother, and now I have to let him deal with it. What do you think, brothers and sisters? "
The master smiled and nodded, and all the immortals nodded.
Li Changshou said again: "Now there is a question, who can incarnate the anger in the shortest time and fastest Angrier. "
The immortals thought for a while, and all eight eyes looked at...
The handsome and handsome Taiyi Zhenren in red robe.
Taiyi The corner of the real man's mouth twitched slightly, he took out a mirror and looked at himself, and said calmly: "These days, being a true-hearted male immortal is being targeted like this!
Yes, let’s deal with the incarnation of anger! "
"That's appropriate," Li Changshou squinted and smiled, "After all, the overall strength of the Incarnation of Wrath is not that strong. ”
Master Taiyi laughed and scolded: “What a shame, Chang Geng!” Come to my Qianyuan Mountain for a drink when you have time! "
"Definitely," Li Changshou promised and continued to discuss with the immortals who should respond.
After a while, the list was finalized.
Zhao Gongming was responsible for the response The incarnation of fear, Master Yuding took the initiative to deal with the incarnation of desire;
The Golden Spirit Mother dealt with the least difficult incarnation of love and the incarnation of joy, and Li Changshou and Fairy Yunxiao worked together to deal with the most contagious incarnation of sorrow. .
Guangchengzi and Taoist Duobao serve as the firefighting team, responsible for providing timely support to various places.
Li Changshou warned: "This is not just a battle of skills, like the incarnation of joy, it is about letting people fight." The goal is to make her happier.
The incarnation of love has other arrangements. This is not the love between men and women in the narrow sense, but also the love in the world...
Senior Brother Guangchengzi, there is something here that needs to be explained. Teach the Immortal Sect to help. ”
Li Changshou took out a jade talisman and handed it to Guang Chengzi. After reading it, Guang Chengzi nodded and promised to arrange it later.
The arrangement with Jie Jiao Almost the same.
Fairy Yunxiao asked softly: "How can we make Xiao Ai more cheerful? ”
Master ** smiled and said: “Chang Geng, go and show it to Junior Sister Yunxiao.Let me give you a sample. "
"Yes, senior brother. "
Li Changshou stood up, bowed to the many brothers and sisters, and then rode the clouds towards the lake.
"Alas~~"
Xiao Ai’s sighs and murmurs came from a distance
“Poor me, I still have to be used as a demonstration object...
Why is it so sad? To fill it? "
Li Changshou lowered his head and said warmly: "My Taoist friend is not me, how do you know that I don't know your suffering? "
Xiao Ai replied feebly:
"Is it necessary to understand each other? Does anyone really want to understand the other person? It's just to get a response, just pretend to understand others.
Aren’t you tired? ”
Li Changshou:...
You can’t say it, but in this situation, no matter what reasons you say, there will be more reasons to pressure you.
Then, just change the angle.
Li Changshou sat calmly in front of her, took out a book in his arms, read it, smiled slightly from time to time, and occasionally put it down. Shujuan laughed a few times.
The Taoist immortals in the distance seemed to have caught the essence of it.
It distracted the other party's attention and aroused their curiosity.
Unfortunately, Xiao Ai just lay there crying silently, turning a blind eye to Li Changshou's situation.
Li Changshou continued to read his book, without feeling that there was any danger of overturning...
After a while, Xiao Ai opened her eyes, with tears in her eyes and a hint of helplessness in her eyes.
“Do you have to laugh at me, a sad person?
You have your happiness, I have my sadness, can't you laugh somewhere else? "
Li Changshou closed the scroll and wondered: "Fellow Taoist, what on earth do you have to be sad about? ”
“Life is inherently false, it shouldn’t have been born, isn’t it worth being sad? ”
“Then, what is reality? "
Li Changshou asked warmly: "You said before that everything comes from the living being's perception of the outside world. All prosperity is false and fleeting, and everything has no meaning.
But Xiao Ai, who is defining these meanings?
Is that you?
Did other creatures give you this concept?
Now that you and I are talking here, don’t you really exist? "
Xiao Ai murmured: "But my existence needs to be erased and corrected. It is still false. ”
“Then don’t you want to experience other emotions before being corrected? "
"Does it make sense? "The little sad voice asked back, "Can't you just let me disappear like this? "
Li Changshou continued to say warmly:
"It may not be meaningful to you, but it is very meaningful to the creature that gave birth to you and needs your help.righteous.
Even if it is Xiao Ai who is occupied by sorrow and sadness, isn't it her?
You, who have been hiding here and dare not go out for fear of hurting others, and her, who has endured all the hardships and still wants to help others, are just the same creature after all.
Similarly gentle. "
Xiao Ai's lips trembled and she cried: "What can I do to help her? I'm just a waste who only knows sadness and despair! ”
“Come on, let’s play a simple game between you and me. Maybe it will be helpful to you.” "
Li Changshou stretched out his right hand towards Xiao Ai, "Just for her sake, can you try to sit up? "
"It's meaningless..."
"Then you can just lie down and watch. "
Little golden lights appeared on Li Changshou's right hand, and each light spot contained the scene of Li Changshou laughing while holding a book.
"This is my share. To be happy, you also show your equal sadness. ”
Xiao Ai’s fingers trembled, and a light blue light ball slowly flew over and hovered in Li Changshou’s palm.
Li Changshou closed his eyes and urged the method, and moved the two A ball of light crumpled into a ball, and the two colored beams of light chased each other, returning to Tai Chi and then to chaos.
Xiao Ai tilted his head and looked there. Although he felt a very mysterious Taoist charm, he still couldn't. I still don’t know what this means...
Soon, Li Changshou took out an orb, poured the Tai Chi ball into the orb, and covered the orb with a piece of black cloth.
"Xiao Ai, tell me, is this joy or sadness? You should be able to understand the yin and yang I just revealed. "
"It's not... it's emotional chaos..."
"Chaos is constantly evolving, but the direction of evolution is not certain. I can tell you clearly that the chaos inside The mood is set.
Chaos generates yin and yang, and the two most basic emotions are generated from it, namely sadness and joy.
So, there is a 50% chance of sadness and a 50% chance of happiness, right? ”
“Well, that seems to be the case. "
"Then if you never lift this black cloth, sadness and joy can be considered to exist at the same time, right? "
"You can also say that..."
Xiao Ai tilted his head, and all the Taoist immortals in the distance also tilted their heads, gradually becoming a little confused.
Li Changshou smiled and said: "So, sadness and joy have been superimposed on each other, and as long as you don't lift the cloth, the two can exist at the same time.
Then if you look forward, you may be able to see the next moment or the next hour, but what about further away?
If the time is far enough away, far away that you cannot foresee, are the emotions there also in a state of chaos?
In the chaos of emotions, sadness and joy exist at the same time and are not yet determined. Only when you get there will the emotions collapse in one direction.
50% may be sad, 50% may be happy,Is it right? "
"No, what you said is all nonsense," Xiao Ai immediately shook his head, "I can't live that far at all, everything I do is determined. "
"Then tell me," Li Changshou shook the ball under the black cloth, "Is there definitely sadness in it? "
Xiao Ai couldn't help but be stunned.
Li Changshou narrowed his eyes with a smile and said: "Look down. ”
Xiao Ai looked down subconsciously, only to see that she was already sitting upright with her body stretched out, and the black gauze skirt slings were gently sliding down her shoulders...
Li Changshou stood up, placed the orb wrapped in black cloth in front of Xiao Ai, and whispered: "Sadness is not the meaning of your existence, feeling the sadness of living beings is. ”
After saying that, Li Changshou turned around and rode on the clouds, flying towards the Taoist immortals.
Xiao Ai looked at the orb wrapped in black cloth and slowly sat up. Come, the little hand reached out, but when it was about to touch the black cloth, it retracted, and so on.
The sadness that permeated the Lake of Tears has become much thinner.
"Hey, senior brother Xuandu," Zhao Gongming came to the side of Master Xuandu and muttered: "What state is Chang Geng in right now? "
"I don't know," the master looked at his hands, and the two light balls in his hands were slowly rotating.
Zhao Gongming smiled and said: "Brother Xuandu, what are you doing? ? "
"Learn a little bit and fight the little evil girl later," the master crushed the ball of light and smiled calmly. He was confident.
What is the essence of Tai Chi? , simple and of course very familiar!
