Chapter 32 Selection (Part 1)
The wish of the heart, this is what every servant student must make before entering the academy-the family will not be so stupid as to trust you based on your words.
Compared with the promise of red lips and white teeth, the evil wish is obviously a more restrictive existence.
Heart demon wishes can be divided into big wishes, small wishes and non-wills. For example, Tang Jie made the big wish of destroying Tianshen Palace. "It can't be called, it can only be called unwillingness.
Non-willingness is like opening the door to do business. Success or failure is just a business for one or two customers.
A small wish is an ordinary wish, just like a company's contract sale, each deal is much more important, a loss may not be fatal, but it will inevitably have serious consequences and impacts, and it is not easy to be negligent and slack.
A big wish is like a big contract that involves the survival of the company. If it cannot be fulfilled, it may face bank dunning, poor turnover, and direct bankruptcy.
Therefore, big vows should not be made lightly, but making big vows can help practitioners strengthen their Taoism, establish a foundation of heart, and make their cultivation path smoother.
This is the nature of willingness.
May it have both nature and content.
"I have made a big wish that every meal must have meat from now on!"
This kind of nonsense content can also be called a big wish, but it is meaningless. It is asking for trouble for yourself, but it will not bring benefits.
And a wish like "I make a great wish to destroy the Heavenly God Palace" is a wish to destroy demons, and it will not bring any benefits when Tang Jie is practicing, but he will get extra help when he is in the future. , As for how to express the help, it is different for each person.
For example, Shi Wunian's "I make a great wish to break all the promising laws in the world" is a kind of wish to break the laws. It does not mean that he can really break the laws of the world, but it can provide extra assistance when he breaks the laws. It's just that his great wish is extremely magical. Not only can he temporarily make a wish every time he fights, but he can also modify his wish, and even the price he pays for reneging on his wish is much smaller than that of ordinary people.
As for seeking eternal life and freedom, this is called the fundamental wish, and it is the fundamental pursuit of a cultivator's life, so most of the great wishes are fundamental wishes.
The great wish is the form, the demon-killing wish is the fundamental wish, and the law-breaking wish is the content, which can be made into a big wish or a small wish.
And the servants of the major families, before entering school, generally make a wish to the family. This kind of wish is called the wish of repaying gratitude, and the specific content is different.
Because it involves the immortal base, the family will generally not force servants to make big wishes, but small wishes are still necessary, but if someone is willing to make big wishes, they will not stop them.
The reason why Tang Jie thought Shi Mo still had a chance was because of the great wish of the demon.
In the past, Shi Mo thought he still had a chance, so he definitely would not raise his promise to enroll in school, but this time, Shi Mo was once again on the cusp of the storm, which made him realize that it was impossible for him to be chosen by his wife. I will no longer be superstitious about my identity as a "secretary".
When people are in desperate situations, they often fight with their backs.
In order to enter the academy, Shi Mo's only way is to increase his return promise, and make the highest level of repayment vow in the form of a big ambition-increase the interest when you can't borrow money, the world will never lack venture capitalists!
Of course, not everyone can do this.
You have to be qualified first.
And those who are truly qualified are not all willing to make such a choice.
The road to cultivating immortals is so dangerous, if you work hard just to be a high-level slave, then it is better to spend your life in peace.
But Tang Jie knew that Shi Mo was very likely to do so.
Because he knows Shi Mo well, he can see the desire to get ahead, the desire for power in Shi Mo's eyes.
For this, even if he sells half his life, he will fight for it.
At this moment, Guanshi Qin came to his senses when he heard the four words of the heart demon's great wish, and frowned: "If this is the case, it will be a bit troublesome, but if it is not possible, you can only do the same."
"It's just fighting for consumption. It's like an auction. It depends on who bids higher. This kind of pursuit at any cost is not a matter of life and death.
It is not necessary. "Tang Jie shook his head and said: "I rely on the Wei family's blessing. If I can go to Xiyue Academy in the future, I will definitely repay the Wei family, but I haven't planned to sell the rest of my life... You know, Uncle Qin, my ambition in life is big. Happy, free and at ease, although I have not yet laid the foundation for this wish, but I have already remembered my heart. If I sell the rest of my life for the sake of cultivating immortality, I have already violated my original intention, and it is meaningless to embark on the journey of immortality. So this temporary servant, I can accept it for a while, but it will be like this for eternity, absolutely not! "
"No matter how ambitious the ambition is, you have to enter the fairy gate. What's the use if you can't enter?"
"It's not necessarily impossible to get in. If you want to break Shi Mo's wish, there is the simplest way, but I don't want to use it."
"any solution?"
Tang Jie said with a smile: "Actually, the Wei family is not a family of cultivating immortals, and they don't really understand the heart demon's wish. I have been fortunate enough to have contact with immortals, so I do know something about the heart demon's great wish."
"Have you come into contact with immortals?" Guanshi Qin was taken aback.
"En." Tang Jie nodded: "It was just a chance encounter. After spending a short time together, I was also instructed by him and learned something about the world of cultivating immortals. As far as I know, there are actually many great wishes of the heart demon. Binding, its effect is far less than what everyone thinks."
"How do you say that?"
"Does Uncle Qin know why cultivators have heart demons?"
"...I don't know." Qin Yuan is just an ordinary manager. He is well-informed to know about the heart demon tribulation. How can he know why there is a heart demon robbery.
Tang Jie smiled and replied: "The Five Realms of Immortal Cultivation, Lingtai, Transcendence, Tianxin, Zifu, and Xiantai. Among them, Lingtai cultivates Qi. It opens up a spiritual sea in the body, absorbs spiritual energy, and generates various kinds of spiritual energy through the use of spiritual energy. Spells. However, this kind of spells can only be carried out through self-consumption, and there is little change to oneself. To put it bluntly, it is just a means of using qi, which is like the difference between a mortal who has a weapon and does not have a weapon. Wait until After breaking away from the mortal realm and opening the bridge of heaven and earth, the cultivator can use the aura in his body to mobilize the aura of heaven and earth to cast spells. At this time, the aura in his body is just an introduction and a boost. Human power has limits, but the power of heaven and earth is infinite, so at this time Immortal masters really have the ability to ascend to heaven and earth. In addition, another difference between the Transcendent Realm and the Lingtai is that you can use spiritual energy to purify yourself and reborn. Then, Uncle Qin, do you know that the cultivation of the Heavenly Mind Realm is also very difficult. What is it?"
Manager Qin shook his head blankly.
"Actually, the Tianxin state is to further refine on the basis of refining itself, but at this level, what they want to refine is no longer the body, but..." Tang Jie pointed to his head.
Qin Guanshi's heart trembled: "Head?"
"To be exact, it's the brain, it's the consciousness. Although the Transcendence Realm is out of the mortal body, the head is still the vital point. If the heart is damaged, you won't die, but if you lose the head, you still die, because this place is still ordinary. The brain is the most important part of the human body. In the precise place, even the immortals who have escaped from the mortal realm and went to heaven and earth, they cannot be refined at will. They must wait until the heavenly heart is successful before proceeding step by step. Once they are successful, they will have spiritual thoughts. The next step is spiritual thoughts. The so-called spiritual thoughts or spiritual thoughts are actually our invisible consciousness transformed into a tangible existence."
Hearing this, Qin Guanshi suddenly realized: "You mean that's how the Heart Demon Tribulation came about?"
"That's right. Heavenly state of mind cultivates spiritual thoughts, transforming the invisible into tangible, accompanied by the demons that also transform the invisible into tangibles. The demons are those thoughts that we have repented and regretted in our hearts. In the process of transforming spiritual thoughts into form To put it bluntly, it is nothing more than the difference between divine thoughts and demonic thoughts, just like the good and evil sides of human beings. Divine thoughts are controllable, and if they are cultivated to the highest level, they can move the world without touching the magic formula. , One thought is born, ten thousand dharmas arise, this is the Purple Mansion Realm. Demonic thoughts are uncontrollable and will only eat back at one's body, so the catastrophe of the heart demon is actually a catastrophe that can only be experienced when one reaches the state of mind."
"That is to say, if it's just ordinary spiritual masters, they won't be afraid of the heart demon tribulation?"
"I'm also afraid, but I'm just afraid that if I do too many bad things now, I will always get revenge after entering the Tianxin state in the future. But if you make up your mind to stop and escape, and don't seek to make progress, then you really don't have to be afraid."
Qin Guanshi felt chills all over his body when he heard it: "But the spiritual master at home has never said this."
"Why did they say that?" Tang Jie asked back: "When they enter the Wei Mansion, they must make a vow. Since they have made a vow, the reward will naturally be higher. Who will tell the master when they are full? I don't intend to enter the state of mind in this life, so don't you take my demonic wish seriously?"
"..." Manager Qin was completely speechless.
Tang Jie laughed and said: "Actually, the old cultivating family knows about this kind of thing, but no one will say it. After all, it is easy to offend people. You must know that many spiritual masters rely on it for a living. Wei After all, the time for the family to become powerful is short, and there is no spiritual master of its own, so many things are not clear. Moreover, those spiritual masters may not have the intention to deceive, and there are many spiritual masters who have not reached that point, and I may not even know."
"Why is this?" Qin Yuan was very curious, how could he not even know about the Healer?
"Because cultivation itself is an extremely dangerous thing, and if you are not careful, you will go crazy. If you know the way of cultivation in the later stage, it is very likely that some practitioners will take the risk and try it. It may be just a momentary curiosity, but the ending is often tragic! Just to be on the safe side , the general masters will not tell the juniors prematurely, even if they know, they will be warned not to talk about it, not to try it lightly."
"Then why do you..."
"The immortal didn't intend to accept me as an apprentice, and I still don't know any fairy arts, so I just chatted casually. Maybe if he wants to come, I will never be able to enter the academy in my life." Tang Jie Answer with a smile.
In fact, Xu Muyang told him this, on the one hand, because he liked his calm personality and believed that he would not mess around, on the other hand, he drank a few more glasses of wine that day, and was defenseless against Tang Jie, so he would talk too much. Speak out. In this way, he still regretted it to death afterwards, and repeatedly reminded Tang Jie not to try it. Fortunately, Tang Jie didn't think that he was a person who was against the sky and could succeed in everything, and he never neglected matters related to safety.
But Guanshi Qin paced back and forth a few times, shook his head and said, "No, I must tell my wife about this."
"Forget it." Tang Jie persuaded him: "If you tell the truth, wouldn't you be hated by those spiritual masters for the rest of your life? If you let them bear the hatred...they want to kill you, then you won't know how you died. In fact, those spiritual masters may not have the idea of impacting the state of mind. As long as there is a glimmer of hope, who is really willing to stop? So there is still a certain meaning to the wish of the heart, but don't take it too seriously, let alone rely on it. "
Hearing this, Guanshi Qin could only sigh: "I hope they don't know it themselves. You are right, if I go and reveal it, no matter whether they know it or not, it will not be a good thing. If they don't It will be even worse if you are careful to harm others. My wife is shrewd and has never pinned her loyalty on the wish of the heart. She has always said that the wish of the heart is important, but human nature is equally important. Only by working together can the safety of the family be ensured."
"That's right." Tang Jie said with a smile: "A truly intelligent person who never believes in things he doesn't understand is still wise!"
"But since you can't say it out, then Shi Mo's great wish can't be stopped, then you can only choose to follow Shi Mo's example. At worst, you will stop and escape all your life. It's better than not being able to enter the fairy gate."
It's a pity that Tang Jie was unwilling: "I won't bet on my future. In fact, even if the Wei family really doesn't choose me, I'm still confident that I can enter the immortal sect, but it will be a lot of trouble."
Hearing this, Qin Guanshi was stunned: "You said you have other ways to enter the immortal gate?"
Tang Jie replied: "Of course, it's not that Wenxin Kingdom only has the Xiyue Sect and cannot enter the Xiyue College. Is it possible that I can't go to other sects? It's just that Xiyue College is an authentic Taoist sect. If you can walk the right way, why bother?" What about taking the path? If I am willing to stop and escape, then Wenxin Kingdom has a lot of sects to choose from, and entering any of them is easier than entering Xiyue. What's more..."
What's more, he wanted to say that I still have a way to win Shi Mo, but he didn't expect Guanshi Qin to grab Tang Jie without waiting for him to finish speaking, and said excitedly: "That means you know how to join another faction? I beg you , Xiaojie, you must help me!"
"Uncle Qin, what are you doing?" Tang Jie was taken aback. He had never seen Steward Qin look so excited, especially when he used the word "beg" to himself?
Manager Qin said excitedly: "Please help Fourth Miss! She is going crazy thinking about cultivating immortals!"
———————————————
In the dim hut, Wei Die sat nervously in front of Tang Jie, and next to him was the equally nervous Steward Qin.
Rubbing his hands, Guanshi Qin said with some embarrassment: "I'm not afraid of your jokes, Xiao Jie, I have been watching her grow up, Miss Fourth, and I have always treated her as my own daughter. In these years, Miss Fourth has been a woman , but has no chance to cultivate immortality, she feels uncomfortable, and I feel anxious when I see it..."
"I know that the year Miss Fourth was born was also the year Xiao Ru's sister died, right?" Tang Jie said indifferently.
Guanshi Qin trembled for a moment, lowered his head and sobbed softly.
Guanshi Qin originally had a daughter named Qin Ru, Qin Yuan's only daughter.
In the year Wei Die was born, Qin Ru was seriously ill and died. But that was the time when Wei Die was just born, and the people in the Wei Mansion were the busiest, Qin Yuan didn't even have time to look at his daughter for the last time.
This was a great blow to Qin Yuan.
One girl, one girl died, just after Wei Die was born, Qin Yuan found that Wei Die was somewhat similar to his daughter, so he couldn't help but put all his feelings on this girl. In his heart, there was always an idea That is, Wei Die may be the reincarnation of his own daughter. Although Wei Die was born earlier than Qin Ru and died, Qin Yuan automatically ignored this point and regarded her as the reincarnation of his own daughter.
Over the years, his fatherly affection for Wei Die has never been a secret, but Guanshi Qin himself thought it was a secret. Until Tang Jie said it lightly at this moment, Guanshi Qin lowered his head tremblingly, and wept softly.
After a while, Manager Qin said: "Little Jie, if you really have the means, teach Fourth Miss how to enter the Immortal Gate. As long as you fulfill this wish, you will not owe me anything in the future..."
"Uncle Qin..."
Wei Die and Tang Jie had already called out at the same time.
Wei Die was touched. On the matter of cultivating immortals, even her biological father, Wei Qingsong, had never worked so hard, but Qin Guanshi really put his heart and soul into it, never letting go of a chance.
Tang Jie was a little dissatisfied: "Uncle Qin regards me as someone, I am all his own, what is owed? I will definitely do my best for Miss Fourth's matter, but whether it can be done or not depends on her after all. of."
Wei Die hastily said: "I want to cultivate immortality, no matter what hardships, I am willing to eat!"
"If you can cultivate immortals if you are willing to endure hardships, wouldn't all the immortals in the world be poor? Is it possible that rich families can endure more hardships than farmers?" Tang Jie replied disdainfully.
Wei Die blushed, and could only say: "Then what do you think should be done?"
"If you want to enter the immortal gate, you must first establish a goal, Miss Si, let me ask you, why do you want to cultivate immortality..."
Wei Die thought about it seriously for a while before answering: "I want to cultivate immortality because I'm not convinced. Why can men but women not? It's not fair, and becoming an immortal is a pursuit in itself."
"So you practiced immortality just to seek fairness and happiness?"
"Yes, fair and free!" Wei Die said firmly.
"Okay, let me ask you again, what do you think of you? I mean, how do you evaluate your temperament?"
"Ah?" Wei Die didn't expect Tang Jie to ask this question, he was stunned for a while, and finally murmured: "I think... I should be considered a... good girl..."
Wei Die was a little embarrassed to say what she boasted about herself. After saying the last few words, her face turned red with embarrassment, and she lowered her head, not daring to look at Tang Jie.
It was still Qin Yuan who hurriedly said: "Die'er is a good boy with a gentle temperament, and he treats his servants very generously."
Tang Jie said indifferently: "What you say doesn't count."
"Ah?" It was Qin Yuan who spoke this time.
Tang Jie replied: "Your feelings for Miss Si will prevent you from making a fair evaluation, so your evaluation cannot be counted. Who is Miss Si, you need to observe with your eyes, analyze with your heart, and use time to test , in my opinion, Miss Fourth is still a bit far from this generous evaluation."
Wei Die's face was already flushed red: "Tang Jie, I came here to beg you personally today because Uncle Qin said that you have a way to help me step into the fairy gate, and I didn't ask you to insult me. What you asked, What does it have to do with me stepping into the fairy gate?"
"Of course it has something to do. If you can't get into Xiyue Academy, you can only settle for the next best thing. However, there is only one big faction in Wenxin Kingdom, and there are countless small factions. It needs to be carefully considered about which faction to enter. I know As far as you are concerned, as long as you can enter the fairy school, you are fine, but there are some things that you are afraid of being too hasty. If you are not careful now, you may regret it in the future. Miss Si is actually like a person who is about to starve to death, even if she catches a bite I will be hungry for food, but I can't choose the fairy gate for the young lady at will. The fourth young lady needs to know that cultivating immortality is not that simple. From the basics, every step must be carefully taken care of. Once you make a mistake, you may lose your life forever. Chance."
As he said that, Tang Jie took out a piece of paper from his body, and Wei Die saw that there were a row of names written on it, which were all kinds of sects, large and small, of Wenxin Kingdom except for the Xiyue Sect.
Tang Jie put the paper on the table and said, "Except for the only big sect, Xiyue Sect, in Wenxin Kingdom, there are hundreds of other sects, big and small. But do you know, among these hundreds of sects, who can truly There are actually very few that lead to the great way. Some exercises may have been good at the time, but they deviated from the great way and laid the wrong foundation. No matter how hard you try in the future, your achievements will be limited. The direction of life is very important. If you go the wrong way, it will be the opposite. So the first question I asked Miss Si was to know if Miss Si had aspirations for the Dao. If Miss Si didn’t have this aspiration, then let’s find the one that is easiest to enter, and we’ll just make do with it.”
"Then how can it work?" Wei Die yelled, "I want to be fair, not to be fooled!"
"Well said." Tang Jie shook the paper in his hand again: "There are a total of twenty-two sects on it, which I specially selected, and I think there are sects with a promising future in cultivation. Since the fourth lady wants the Dao, then We have to start looking for these twenty-two sects first."
"Wait." Qin Guanshi was a little confused: "How do you know that these twenty-two sects can cultivate the Dao, and the others can't?"
Tang Jie replied: "Look at history."
"Look at history?"
The two were confused by Tang Jie's answer.
"Yes, look at history! The secrets are unpredictable, the future cannot be pushed, but the future is always repeating history. So if you can understand history, you can understand the future!"
