C133 (1/2)
Deep in the night, Little White said there was no moon and no stars. Everything was dark except for a small patch of light from the fire in front of them.
It was a dilapidated temple with a clay Buddha statue inside. Its broken body looked slightly sinister under the flickering light, and Little White was lying down in front of me. Its smooth, snow-white fur was very smooth and smooth, and the place close to the fire was a stone platform. However, Little White and I moved the stone platform down and placed it on the ground.
”Master …” Save me … Master... ”Master...” Wu Ming muttered uneasily. His entire body was involuntarily twitching. His nervous voice did not stop for a long time. He did not know what he had experienced in his dream.
”Jushi, this monk has been talking in his sleep for half the night and is constantly shouting 'master'. Does he like his master?”
”Don't spout nonsense!” I replied slightly sternly, ”He's experiencing his inner demon.”
”Demonheart?”
”That's right, inner demon. There is a barrier in my heart that I can't pass. My heart has always been tangled there, and my mind and consciousness have all sunk into it, unable to extricate myself.”
”Then what is this monk's inner demon?”
”His heart demon …” I slightly sighed, ”His inner demon is him!”
”Huh?” Little White asked with doubt, ”Him?”
”That's right!” His heart goes to the Buddha, but as a demon, he can't tell if it's a demon or a Buddha. ”
”Then how do we distinguish them? Is it that he will wake up after we separate him? ”
”No!” I shook my head. ”The more I try to figure it out, the deeper I sink. When he doesn't want to figure it out, he'll wake up.”
I couldn't help but recall Master Hui Kong's words, ”To be honest, sex and truth, return to the true self!”
”Oh!” Little White nodded and said, ”Gui Shi, Little White understands. Buddha can be a demon, but so can a demon. No one has made the rule that being born a demon is not enough to cultivate Buddha.”
”Heh heh, this inner demon is something that only the bystanders can understand. Only those who are in the wrong can understand it, and only those who think it through will be able to do so.”
”Then when did he think it through clearly? Lil 'White doesn't want to stay here forever. ”
”Think clearly, speaking fast can be an instant, saying slow can be a life … If he doesn't wake up, we don't have to stay here. ”
”Ah?” Jussi, are we going to leave him behind? ” Hearing Lil 'White's tone, Ye Zichen actually felt happy.
”Leave them?” ”No,” I said, after a pause, ”you carry him!”
Lil 'White was stunned. ”What about Gui?”
”Of course you have to carry me. I can't travel that far right now.”
”Aouuu …”
Lil 'White let out an aggrieved cry and buried its head between its two claws, and kept scratching.
”Don't move, Little White!”
”Xiaobai is feeling sad...”
”Don't move, he's awake!”
”He woke up!” Whitey suddenly raised its head and looked straight at Wu Ming.
”Cough …”
Hearing that Ji Ming had coughed a few times and slowly woke up, Whitey said happily, ”Scholar, he's really awake!”
”Wu Ming, long time no see!”
”It's … it's you?” Wu Ming's weak voice was heard. However, it was clear that it carried a trace of happiness.
”… …”
”Amitabha, so Almsgiver Zhang was the White Fox Man of the past. The news of the Celestial Sect's battle has spread even further in our country.”
”Hehe, who knows what will happen next? I also didn't expect that you, Wu Ming, would actually leave the Devil Prison Temple and come all the way here.”
Wu Ming sighed, ”During the last Celestial Demon War, the snow spirit that was sealed in the Sky Sect was released. After that, it was destroyed and the wandering souls were scattered everywhere. Master sent me out to refine my heart and also to take care of the wandering souls that committed evil along the way.”
I curiously asked, ”Xue Ling?”
”Yes, Master said that what the Heavenly Sect sealed was not a Demon, but a Spirit!”
”What is a spirit?”
”Actually, spirits can also be considered a type of demon. Currently, there are three types of demons. One is a monster, two is a mountain spirit, and three is a hollow spirit. ”
I was stunned. There were so many different types of monsters?
Wu Ming continued, ”I heard it from my master. When beasts turn into demons, they are called demon beasts. Cultivators of plants and vegetation cultivate their dao, so they are called mountain spirits. When Profound Qi opens the spirit, it is called hollow spirits. Just like this snow spirit, which had no consciousness or life, now that it had become a demon and its soul had come from the void, it also possessed a spirit. However, there were very few such spirits, and they were usually extremely difficult to destroy, and most of them would be used to refine pills or fuse. However, the existence of this snow spirit was extremely heaven-defying, and even though it had been sealed for hundreds of thousands of years, it was still extremely powerful. Evil spirits are not considered life forms, and they don't have any consciousness, but after they regained their consciousness, they can still be considered hollow. When evil spirits cultivate to a certain degree, they can also become an evil spirit, and they are called spirit souls, or the souls of ordinary people. ”
I nodded my head. I had never thought that the demon race would have such a complicated category. Even the evil spirits could be considered demons!
”What about you? You're also a demon, so other than your own kind, don't you have any psychological burdens? ”
”Of course I have psychological burdens, otherwise Master would not have let me come out and refine my heart.”
”Then do you understand now?”
