The Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces were boundless and ever-changing, containing endless mysteries.
Lifeless Desolate Ancient Ruins were suspended in the Void, changing according to the changes of the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces.
What was even more strange was that as they went deeper, the Desolate Ancient Ruins became larger and larger. If the Desolate Ancient Ruins were like mountains before, then the Desolate Ancient Ruins now were more like mountain ranges. They looked magnificent and majestic.
It felt as if the Desolate Ancient Ruins were gradually merging with the changes of the Ancient Desolate Nine Palaces.
Gu Qingfeng drank a little wine as he strolled in the Void. As he went deeper, he looked left and right at the mountain-like Desolate Ancient Ruins in the Void.
Mad Monk Daxing followed closely behind, asking questions all over the place. Gu Qingfeng seemed to be a little impatient and stopped to look at him, saying, "I say, Daxing, you old bald donkey, why are you asking so many questions? Aren't you thirsty?"
"Little Guy Gu, aren't you being too heartless? I'm worried about your safety, that's why I want to know about your situation. Try someone else? I don't even want to talk to you. Don't be so ungrateful. "
"Come on, kind? You're blushing because you're saying that?"
"What's there to blush about?"
"Daxing!" Gu Qingfeng patted Mad Monk Daxing's shoulder and said with a smile, "We're all smart people. Don't beat around the bush in front of smart people. It's not like I don't know what you're thinking."
Hearing this, Mad Monk Daxing was not happy. He shouted, "Little Guy Gu! I swear to God! I don't know if others are scheming against you, but I'm sure I'm not scheming against you. If you don't believe me, I can swear to God. If I can't, I can even curse you. You can do whatever you want. "
Hearing this.
Gu Qingfeng smiled and looked at the serious Mad Monk Daxing. He said speechlessly, "I used to know that you were shameless, but today I found out that you're completely shameless. How can you say such shameless words in front of me? Do you still have any face left?"
No matter how much Gu Qingfeng taunted and mocked him, Mad Monk Daxing didn't blush or pant. His face was solemn and upright. He swore to the heavens and cursed. If Gu Qingfeng didn't know what kind of person Mad Monk Daxing was, he might have really believed the old monk's words.
Her acting skills were amazing. There was really nothing to say about it.
Gu Qingfeng shook his head. He was too lazy to continue talking nonsense with the monk. Just as he was about to continue, he suddenly thought of something. He stared at the monk and asked a rather serious question, "Daxing, haven't you thought about something?"
"What?"
"Are you so sure that my self-awareness has not been devoured?"
Hearing Gu Qingfeng's question, Mad Monk Daxing could not help but be startled. He curled his lips and said, "Nonsense! If your self-awareness had really been devoured, would you still be able to stand here and talk to me like this? "
"What's so impossible about that?" Gu Qingfeng smiled. "Maybe my self-awareness has already been devoured by the ominous thing. Now I'm just an ominous thing in disguise. You should know that as long as my self-awareness is devoured, it's too easy to disguise as me. Plus, it's hard to tell the difference between the real and the fake. This is not rare."
"Hehe!"
Mad Monk Daxing grinned and said, "I won't lie to you. At first, I really did suspect it. But after thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible. Now I'm even more certain that you're not a Demonic Consciousness outside of the Great Way."
Gu Qingfeng asked curiously, "Why is that? Tell me. "
"You're right. If that Demonic Consciousness outside of the Great Way had really devoured your self-awareness and disguised as you, outsiders would not be able to tell the difference."
Mad Monk Daxing was not lying this time. When he discovered that Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness had not been devoured, he had indeed suspected it.
Because he knew that devouring self-awareness was much more terrifying than devouring Demonic Consciousness.
Demonic Consciousness and consciousness were two different concepts.
Demonic Consciousness came from the mind, while consciousness came from the soul.
The worst outcome of devouring Demonic Consciousness was nothing more than having one's memories read.
But if one's self-awareness was devoured, it was almost the same as having one's soul devoured. Not only would one's memories be read, but one's mind, spirit, and even one's inner thoughts would no longer have any secrets.
In this way, if the other party wanted to disguise as you, outsiders would not be able to detect it.
However.
It was just that outsiders would not be able to detect it.
If it was someone familiar, such as family, friends, blood relatives, and so on, one could still tell if it was real or fake after careful observation.
Devouring Demonic Consciousness might allow one to know all the secrets of others.
But there was one thing that could not be read, understood, or even imitated or disguised.
That was temperament.
Temperament was one's character.
This was something that was ingrained in one's bones and was also something that one was born with. Everyone in the world had it.
Moreover, everyone's temperament was different.
Even if one devoured self-awareness and soul, one's mind, spirit, and even state of mind, one would not be able to know one's temperament. Taking ten thousand steps back, even if one really knew one's temperament, such an illusory thing could not be faked by outsiders.
This was because temperament was also said to be one's destiny. Some people called it the origin of karma.
A person's karma had nothing to do with one's physical body or soul. It was related to one's temperament.
Cultivate, cultivate.
Cultivate your heart and walk the Dao.
The kind of temperament you cultivated would determine the kind of Dao you would walk. The kind of Dao you walked would determine the kind of karma you would bear.
For example, a kind person would naturally walk the Dao of Light and bear good karma.
And a person with an evil heart would definitely walk the Dao of Darkness and bear bad karma.
Temperament determined karma, and karma determined one's fate.
As the old saying went, temperament determined one's fate.
This was the reason why Mad Monk Daxing was so sure that Gu Qingfeng could not be a disguised Demonic Consciousness that was not part of the Dao.
Although he was not related to Gu Qingfeng by blood and perhaps could not be considered a close friend, it did not mean that he did not understand Gu Qingfeng. On the contrary, he understood Gu Qingfeng better than Gu Qingfeng himself.
What kind of person was Gu Qingfeng?
Mad Monk Daxing's answer would definitely be to do as he pleased.
This was Gu Qingfeng's temperament and character.
Don't underestimate these four simple words. Throughout the ages, there were only a handful of people who could truly do as they pleased.
So far, Mad Monk Daxing only knew that Gu Qingfeng was the only one who could truly do as he pleased.
As long as he wanted, he would care no matter how small the matter was.
If he did not want, no matter how big the matter was, he would not even bother to look at it.
For Gu Qingfeng, there was no right or wrong, no good or evil in this world. There was only what he wanted and what he did not want.
This was Gu Qingfeng.
His casualness was ingrained in his bones. He did not have Gu Qingfeng's carefree temperament and could not be imitated or faked. Even Demonic Consciousness that was not part of the Dao was no exception. Mad Monk Daxing even dared to say that if Demonic Consciousness that was not part of the Dao really swallowed Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness and then disguised itself as Gu Qingfeng, Mad Monk Daxing felt that even if he closed his eyes, he would be able to tell the difference.
Gu Qingfeng's every word, every action, every sentence, every word, even a glance, a thought, all revealed a unique casualness.
In this world, only he was like this.
Like the countless stars in the night sky, Gu Qingfeng might not be the most dazzling star, but he was definitely the most casual one.
Mad Monk Daxing could not use his Divine Consciousness to detect Gu Qingfeng's existence, but he was able to find Gu Qingfeng's trace in the Ancient Nine Palaces at the first moment. This was because of Gu Qingfeng's unique casualness.
Besides this.
Mad Monk Daxing was also certain that Gu Qingfeng could not be a Demonic Consciousness that was not part of the Dao.
He did not know why Demonic Consciousness that was not part of the Dao had swallowed Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness.
Perhaps it was to plot against the True Lord of Original Sin, or perhaps it was not.
If it was to plot against the Original Sin, there was no need to disguise as Gu Qingfeng.
The reason was simple.
Swallowing Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness did not mean that it had swallowed Gu Qingfeng's temperament and fate, even if it dominated the soul and took over the body.
All signs pointed to Gu Qingfeng being the True Lord of Original Sin recorded in the Book of Destiny. These signs were not because of his soul and body, but because of his karma.
After swallowing Gu Qingfeng's self-awareness, his temperament and fate would be destroyed. Without his fate, all karma related to him would naturally vanish.
In this way, there was no point in dominating his soul and taking over his body.
Since there was no point, there was no need to disguise as Gu Qingfeng.
If it was a Divine Sense or Demonic Will outside of the Great Dao, devouring Gu Qingfeng's consciousness wasn't to scheme against the True Lord of Original Sin, but to possess his body to survive, there was even less of a need to disguise himself as Gu Qingfeng.
Based on these two points, Mad Monk Daxing dared to conclude that Gu Qingfeng could not be a Demonic Consciousness that was not part of the Dao.
After listening to Mad Monk Daxing's words, Gu Qingfeng was very surprised. He did not expect Mad Monk Daxing to have such a subtle side.
Don't say it.
It really did make a lot of sense.
It also benefited Gu Qingfeng greatly. To be honest, if Mad Monk Daxing's self-awareness had been swallowed and then disguised, Gu Qingfeng would not be a hundred percent sure that it was real or fake.
"I didn't expect an old bald donkey like you to be so skilled. I really underestimated you."
"Haha!"
Mad Monk Daxing laughed proudly. "Of course, who do you think I am? How could my skills be so shallow? Let me tell you, kid, the depth of this old monk's cultivation is definitely beyond your imagination. So, I advise you to be honest in the future and don't play any tricks with this old monk. As long as you stick out your butt, this old man will know what shit you want to shit! "
"Haha! I said you were fat, old bald donkey, and you really did it! "
