The ruins of the Withered Yard in the dark seemed to be connected to an unknown place.
That unknown place attracted Jiang Wang to come closer, consciously or unconsciously.
Jiang Wang walked more and more hurriedly, but his direction became more and more chaotic. He simply walked around randomly. Chung Geng Sheng was following closely, but he felt that Jiang Wang was getting farther and farther away.
This feeling was disturbing.
Jiang Wang was expressionless, but his eyes showed that he was still awake and even thinking. However, he seemed to be unaware of his body's current situation.
This scene was so strange, but Chung Geng Sheng didn't have enough information, so he couldn't analyze it.
But he couldn't just let it go.
Chung Geng Sheng came to this conclusion. He couldn't help but stretch out his hand, trying to stop Jiang Wang's strange movement with the Heavy Technique.
But when the power of the Heavy Technique was about to touch him, Jiang Wang's hand had already pressed back on the sword, and the Sword Qi was about to burst out! This was the body's instinctive reaction to fight back.
Jiang Wang couldn't stop fighting in this situation, and he couldn't control his strength, so he could only disperse the Heavy Technique.
When the Heavy Technique was dispersed, Chung Geng Sheng glanced at Fourteen.
Fourteen understood the tacit understanding accumulated over the years with just a glance.
With his armor, he stood in front of Jiang Wang in one step.
When he stood still, it felt like a mountain was planted on the ground, majestic and heavy.
He didn't have any intention to attack, nor did he take the initiative to make contact. Fourteen just stood still, "waiting" for him to come closer.
Just as Chung Geng Sheng expected, Jiang Wang didn't react instinctively.
He just walked forward hurriedly and bumped into Fourteen, who was wearing the Armor of Mount. He seemed to have bumped into a mountain!
The "mountain" didn't move at all.
Jiang Wang's body also stopped in front of the "mountain".
But from the way he leaned forward and the way his muscles tensed, he was still trying to move forward.
Fourteen could also feel Jiang Wang's movement and nodded to Chung Geng Sheng.
With Jiang Wang's half-baked physique refining skills, it was impossible for him to push away Fourteenth Prince just by relying on his body's instincts.
Chung Geng Sheng walked closer to observe his eyes.
Jiang Wang's eyes were like a calm sea.
Bright, peaceful, firm, as if it would always be there, always beautiful, never to be changed … but there was something deep and unfathomable brewing.
In the tranquil sea, Chung Geng Sheng suddenly saw a floating … "Hum"!
At this moment.
In Jiang Wang's perception, he also "saw" the swastika in a non-visual sense.
Then he "heard" a voice, but it was not in the sense of hearing.
He suddenly had an epiphany. He saw the yellow-faced old monk's appearance, the monk Ku Jue who had mysteriously appeared in Qingyang Town and wanted to take him as his disciple.
The voice was asking — —
"End your life and don't kill. Can you keep it?"
As long as you live, you will never kill. Will you be able to adhere to this commandment from now on?
The essential question it represented was, "Are you willing to convert to Buddhism?"
Jiang Wang's mind was clear. He had been clear-headed all the time. He had been thinking, but some problems still existed.
He couldn't see the outside world until he solved the problems in his heart.
The fog of obscurity, the fog of obscurity. The practitioners of the Soaring Dragon Realm were originally starting to face "ignorance". They were originally trekking in ignorance.
As the saying went, "If you don't sweep a house, how can you sweep the world?"
The so-called "pure source" meant that one's body was the source and one's heart was the source.
The old monk Ku Jue's voice suddenly sounded, asking his heart — —
"End your life and don't kill. Can you keep it?"
Jiang Wang knew very well that as long as he kept the commandment and converted to Buddhism, he could immediately "walk out" from the endless torture.
It was to get rid of the sea of bitterness and also to "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha."
The so-called "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha" didn't mean that after you killed someone and laid down the knife, you could become a Buddha. It meant that you had to let go of the evil thoughts in your heart and let go of all the "butcher's knife" that could harm living beings. If you had no evil in your heart and were merciful to all living beings, you would be a Buddha.
That endless interrogation constantly battered his heart.
If he wasn't careful, his Dao Heart would collapse.
As long as he kept the commandment and turned over a new leaf, he could immediately get rid of this dangerous situation.
But Jiang Wang's voice sounded in his heart — — "I can't keep it!"
"End your life and don't kill. Can you keep it?"
"I can't keep it!"
Why do I need to follow the commandment? I will follow my heart.
As soon as this voice appeared in the outside world, Chung Geng Sheng and Shi Fourteen could clearly feel that Jiang Wang's forward momentum had stopped.
And in his heart.
Jiang Wang faced the torture directly and answered them one by one.
"As for Fang Pengju, I remember him and miss him, but I don't regret killing him. My feelings for him are real, and so is my hatred.
As for Hu Shaomeng, I will do as I promised and have no worries.
…
As for those with pig bone faces, snake bone faces, and dragon bone faces … my killing intent is firm and unshakable. If there really is an era of white bones, I will kill them all again!
…
For the soldiers of the Yang Kingdom, going to the battlefield means gambling everything and putting their lives on the line. They are like this, and so am I!
There is only life and death on the battlefield. There is no right or wrong! "
The swastika in his eyes instantly disappeared. The approaching faces and intense questioning all disappeared.
Everything he saw and heard returned to peace.
In the end, Jiang Wang's mood was divine. He instantly regained control of his body and blurted out, "I have a clear conscience!"
At this moment, he understood the cause and effect.
When he was in Qingyang Town, without his knowledge, Ku Jue left a swastika on his body.
This was an auspicious symbol passed down in Buddhism. It meant auspicious and virtuous.
The swastika did not harm or affect Jiang Wang. Its only use was to point him in the right direction when he was confused. It could be said that it protected his heart. Of course, this "direction" was definitely to convert.
The swastika would probably never be able to do anything because Jiang Wang's heart was much stronger than that of ordinary people.
It should be said that Ku Jue meant no harm.
But tonight, when he came to the ruins of the Withered Yard with Chung Geng Sheng to find answers.
The swastika attracted something in the Withered Yard, causing him to fall into an almost endless torment of his Taoist heart. He was also attracted to an unknown place.
It almost killed him, but it also saved him.
When he fell into the torment of his Taoist heart, the swastika provided him with a way to use the "precepts" to redeem his "sins".
But Jiang Wang chose his own way.
He let go of all his defenses and asked his heart.
And he had a clear conscience!
His body and mind were clear, and his will was as one.
"What happened?" Chung Geng Sheng asked.
He looked at Jiang Wang and felt that he seemed to have undergone some kind of cleansing from the inside out. There was a kind of otherworldly temperament.
Jiang Wang told them everything that had happened in his heart.
Chung Geng Sheng and 14 only then knew what kind of danger he had just experienced.
"Let's leave here first," Chung Geng Sheng said immediately.
There must be some secret hidden in the Withered Yard. And now Chung Geng Sheng could not even detect it. If it were not for the swastika that Ku Jue left on Jiang Wang, Jiang Wang would not be an exception.
This was enough to show that the secret hidden in the ruins of the Withered Yard was not something they could reach with their current strength.
Chung Geng Sheng was of course a smart person. So he chose to leave immediately, not even caring about the answers that he wanted to find.
If he was curious without strength, he would be courting death!
However, just as they were about to leave, a new voice rang out from outside.
This time, it was not just Jiang Wang, but all three of them heard it.
That sound was:
"Bang — bang! Bang! Bang! "
