Ask the Mirror Chapter 79: Self-created delusion and seven-emotion disease

lnmao.org, the fastest update to the latest chapter of Asking Mirror!

Facing Yu Ci's baffled gaze, Xue Pingzhi smiled and said: "This is your first time in the outer realm, especially the Death Star, a rare and pure place. There is one thing you must remember."

"...Please give me some advice from Mr. Yuan."

"Since it is a pure place, we must work hard to maintain it. Therefore, as long as you encounter the demons, you must kill them all and never let any one go. Otherwise, you will provoke enemies here, and you don't know how annoying it will be."

Xue Pingzhi stared at the dark void in the distance and whispered: "Back then, the work of shielding and expelling the demons was presided over by the Shangqing Sect. Every three to five years, there was a large-scale suppression campaign. As long as the All the monks on the Death Star must participate, just to nip trouble in the bud."

Yu Ci asked curiously: "Can the demon be killed completely?"

"This is another value of the Death Star. According to the detection of the Qing Sect for many kalpas, there are no stars with any signs of life within a range of more than 100 billion miles centered on the Death Star. There is no void world like the real world. At most, there are some special ethnic groups that wander and migrate. Correspondingly, there will not be too many demons..."

Yu Ci caught one word: "One hundred billion miles?"

"Yes, outside the territory, this distance is nothing. Literally speaking, it is enough for the Immortal Master to fly for tens of thousands of years. In fact, there can be three or five real people riding the Sky Domain Shuttle together... Even a second-class flying boat can effectively store energy and power, and take turns to perform actions. At most five or six years will pass. After all, the outside world is not the real world. It is empty and has no obstacles. The upper limit of speed is much higher. Much. This area is just a buffer zone."

"That's it."

Yu Ci secretly exclaimed that he had learned a lot. But at this time, the evil "stink" in the void that the two of them were paying attention to was weakening.

This does not prove that the demons have retreated. On the contrary, these demons who always like to sneak attacks and plot are probably weaving traps.

Yu Ci was about to kill them in one fell swoop, but Xue Pingzhi suddenly stretched out his hand and blocked him:

"Fellow Taoist, wait a moment, we have to rely on them for today's matters."

"Oh?"

Xue Pingzhi's bright eyes were shining, but she no longer paid attention to the whereabouts of the demons. She raised her head slightly, as if she was looking for a star far away in the void.

But Yu Ci can feel that there is only one thing she is doing now:

She sealed the "Melting Pot Talisman" that Xu Yang personally refined, and completely let go of her guard, allowing the emotions accumulated over the years to surge out, turning into an almost physical impact, spreading endlessly Come on.

Yu Ci didn't expect that she would be so extreme. Just as he was about to speak, a deep undercurrent suddenly rushed into his chest and abdomen.

This is Xue Pingzhi's move!

Yu Ci had countless ways to resist and resolve it, but what followed this undercurrent was Xue Pingzhi’s calm words:

"Fellow Taoist, please avoid it for now. Every woman has some colors that she doesn't want others to see."

When this reason was revealed, Yu Ci could only smile bitterly and retreat. This retreat was dozens of miles away. When the undercurrent dissipated, he consciously stopped.

At this time, in this void, demons were already dancing wildly!

Xue Pingzhi detonated the emotional turmoil with one hand. To the demon from outside the territory, it was like spreading out a feast of delicacies in front of hungry ghosts. There was no resistance at all.

Through previous induction, Yu Ci knew that most of those hidden in the darkness were just mind demons and evil demons. Although some of them had good intelligence, they were not as good as ordinary people. The torrent of emotions spread like a river and sea, instantly detonating their instincts and suppressing all auras.

A group of heavenly demons had gradually dispersed and constructed traps, but now they had all lost their minds, exposed their bodies, and pounced on them from all directions, facing the impact of emotions.

The number is really large, exceeding thousands in an instant, and the follow-up is still endless.

Are there really few demons here?

The first wave of demons perished in the torrent of emotions in an instant, but the following ones still continued to fight. Even before they were on the verge of extinction, they released unique ideas to attract unsuspecting companions from afar to share this event. feast.

Most of the mind demons could not withstand the strong emotions of the Tribulation Technique Grandmaster level and were directly overwhelmed. But there are always a few lucky ones who have devoured enough "nutrition" and grown up by leaps and bounds.

In the void, five colors were misty, and illusions were flowing. It didn't take long for a magnificent world to open up, with wonderful mountains and rivers, pavilions and pavilions, and all living creatures, men and women.

This is the realm of demonic delusion!

The delusion state is based on the emotions released by Xue Pingzhi as the skeleton, but it is based on her cultivation realm. As long as Xue Pingzhi can support it, the delusion state will always exist and continue to expand as her emotions change.

Soon, the colorful delusion realm expanded before Yu Ci's eyes.

Yu Ci did not make any move, letting the delusion swallow him up - he already understood what Xue Pingzhi was doing.

The thoughts, thoughts and emotions of the mind are the most flexible and subtle things. Even when it comes to self-control, it changes rapidly, often causing huge errors, let alone others.

Perhaps Xue Pingzhi is not confident about his level, or he has other considerations. Now he is taking a new approach, letting go of his guard, attracting the influence of demons, and forming a delusional state. In fact, it is the most "morbid" side of his mind and emotions. , enlarged and presented for Yu Ci’s convenience.

This approach surprised Yu Ci. After only a few meetings, even with Ye Bin as a guarantee, Xue Pingzhi was able to do this. In addition to his courage, he was more determined!

Yu Ci sighed in his heart, but he would not refuse pretentiously. After all, it was a rare opportunity to witness the changes in Master Jiefa's mood. If nothing else, based on his relationship with Mrs. Huanrong, after the order If anyone tries to do it again, they will probably encounter considerable resistance.

This also proves from another aspect how strong Xue Pingzhi's hatred towards the Rakshasa Ghost King is!

Yu Ci walked in the delusion and looked around.

He is not in a hurry to dig out the problem, but collects information as closely as possible. After all, the possibility of this happening again is not too high.

In the delusion, the palaces and pavilions stretch endlessly. Some have the atmosphere of an immortal family, while others are wealthy and luxurious, and among them there are all kinds of people, ranging from high to low, who come and go incessantly.

I heard that before Xue Pingzhi entered Taoism, he was the queen of a great country in the world, and he also showed it in his delusion.

There may be some past memories mixed in, and it is the most private matter, but Yu Ci still wanted to watch it to avoid missing a key link, which was actually quite embarrassing.

But soon, he lost his thoughts.

Because he saw bloodshot lights like swimming fish in it.

Emotional changes that are naturally unfolding will either be cut into pieces or distorted out of shape once they encounter these **** lights.

If the images of men and women in the delusion were regarded as real living beings, these bloodshot rays of light would seem to be some kind of epidemic poison, or even a demon species. Once thrown into it, the originally clear direction would suddenly become chaotic.

A son kills his father, a mother kills her daughter, a palace official assassinates the emperor...

The worst thing is that these changes are not absurd, but closely adhere to the extremes of thinking and human nature. They are mature and self-consistent. After several changes, it becomes unclear which one is normal and which one. That's true!

Is this the method of the Rakshasa Ghost King?

When he first saw the clues, Yu Ci also shook his head.

While a person is alive, a little bit of soul and true spirit is innate, but it also needs acquired reactions, memories, and some scales and rulers. Otherwise, how can we clarify each unique mode of existence if we are all the same?

The methods of the Rakshasa Ghost King are very destructive. Over the years, the memory will be tampered with beyond recognition. How should we position ourselves at that time?

This is just the outer corner of the delusion realm. Yu Ci doesn't want to think about what's going on inside.

He walked in step by step. The coverage area of ​​the delusion was about dozens of miles in radius. Demons continued to intervene, making the changes in the scene even more confusing. Every step of the way, the scene was changing, but no matter what kind of scenery it was. , nine out of ten, there will always be that weird **** light.

The further Yu Ci went inside, the more serious his expression became.

At this time, the delusional state has swallowed up many extraterrestrial demons. Some demons have replaced the illusory memories and consciousness, creating various weird and unbearable scenes. This is also the favorite environment of the demons. Take it as you like. Deadly traps can be laid in any area.

Along the way, Yu Ci had already killed a demon that had just been upgraded to the "Heavenly Tribulation". As for other mind demons, evil demons, etc., there were countless others.

He couldn't help but lament that the diagnosis and treatment method created by Xue Pingzhi was really picky, and anyone who was slightly weaker would become the devil's meal.

But the problem is that compared to Xue Pingzhi's condition, the danger of the delusion itself is not worth mentioning.

The situation is far more complicated than imagined.

Yu Ci was pondering the nature of the blood light along the way, and found that in addition to the methods of the Rakshasa Ghost King, what was even more troublesome was that it was mixed with Xue Pingzhi's own resentment and hatred, as well as those who desperately wanted to correct and recover. Obsession - no matter what the thought is, once it is taken to an extreme, it will most likely go astray. The harder you try, the harder it will be to achieve what you want.

Later, it was no longer clear whether the "tampering" of memories and emotions was caused by the Rakshasa Ghost King or by Xue Pingzhi's own will.

Now it seems that the Rakshasa Ghost King only planted a seed, but watered it with Xue Pingzhi's obsession, thus growing a monster that fully met his requirements.

Yu Ci was amazed by this method, and at the same time felt a headache.

No matter how vast the delusion realm is, there is always time to finish. About half an hour later, Yu Ci entered the center of the delusion realm. It was like the eye of a storm. Although it was not weatherproof, it was colorful. Even the illusion and delusion have to be kept low and small, and even the light becomes dimmer.

Yu Ci narrowed his eyes slightly and saw the figure in the center.

Xue Pingzhi was lying in the air, resting his forehead on one hand, as if there was a jade couch and a fragrant quilt beneath him, as if he was sleeping but not sleeping, he was leisurely and at ease.

Beside her, there was clearly a set of wine utensils floating around. Now the silver pot was empty and the jade cups were scattered.

Look closely at her face, which is also covered with red clouds, as if she is drunk and lying down.

Yu Ci was stunned for a moment when he saw Xue Pingzhi acting so casually. He couldn't help but remember that in his delusion, he saw many situations that were not humane to outsiders.

The demons on the periphery were so sensitive. They thought they had an opportunity, so they sneaked in boldly and silently, trying to do something, but they were all thrown into the Pond of Ten Thousand Demons by the bright moonlight from Yu Ci's body.

It was this moment that alarmed Xue Pingzhi.

The female cultivator's eyes opened, but they were not as clear and bright as before "Farewell", but seemed to be covered with a layer of light fog, and a little empty, making it difficult to see clearly.

The two looked at each other, and their thoughts were connected. Yu Ci smiled and gestured, but he knew that he was still affected by Xue Pingzhi's delusion just now, and had some "resonance", so that his mind was lost for a moment, and there was something " excuse me.

Fortunately, Xue Pingzhi didn't take it seriously. Strictly speaking, her current posture was even more unethical.

Although he was facing a troubled man directly, he had no intention of getting up. He just spoke, his voice was low and hoarse, as if he had not yet fully woken up, and his words were also a little subtle:

"I see you everywhere in my dreams...can you look carefully?"

Yu Ci kept smiling and did not respond.

Fortunately, Xue Pingzhi also knew his current state, closed his eyes again, calmed down, and spoke again:

"Ashamed, this is the first time I do such a thing, and I have to drink to strengthen my courage."

She was laughing at herself, but Yu Ci didn't make fun of her. It was really not easy for Xue Pingzhi to do this.

Xue Pingzhi did not continue to express his emotions and gradually got down to the topic: "I feel restless and confused. My Taoist friends have worked hard all the way... I wonder if I can gain something?"

"I still need to take a pulse on Mr. Yuan."

Yu Ci looked as relaxed as possible and walked slowly to Xue Pingzhi.

Xue Pingzhi remained lying on his side and did not move. He only fixed his eyes on Yu Ci's face with complicated thoughts.

At this moment, she seemed to have transformed back into the royal concubine who was full of nobility in her early years, and seemed to have returned to the carefree years at the "Pingzhi Banquet". Her mood was between reality and the past, between reality and illusion. , wandering around.

Yu Ci knew that even though she took the initiative to open up to the state of delusion, she was still trapped by it, and it was not so easy to communicate now.

Yu Ci did not stick to trivial details. Seeing that she was supporting her forehead with one hand, and only one hand was free, and it was covered under the big sleeve, she simply relied on herself, rolled up the cuffs, revealing a white lotus root-like arm, and then stretched out her hand Press it on her wrist.

To be honest, this kind of "pulse checking" is just a formality.

Yu Ci also half understood the pulse law. What he really wanted to do was to use the movement of Qi pulse to detect the subtleties of Xue Pingzhi's changes in form and spirit.

From the moment he entered the realm of delusion, Yu Ci’s judgment was a process from the outside to the inside, from virtuality to reality, and from spirit to form. At this time, his research direction has moved from the changes in mood and memory in the disease to the changes in the natural structure at the interface between body and spirit.

In Yu Ci's opinion, the cause of the disease back then may have been from the soul, but over the years, the root has been transferred to the body.

To use the most accurate term, it affects the interface between form and spirit, causing related alienation.

The junction of form and spirit, the "black forest" described by Yu Ci, can be said to be a complex terrain with thousands of ravines. Thoughts are like torrents. After years of erosion, a fixed "river course" will be formed, that is, "Inertia" and "reaction" in thinking and emotions.

Xue Pingzhi's problem is that this key area of ​​hers has been severely "deformed" due to long-term disease. The "inertia" before the injury is no longer the same as the current "inertia" Son.

Just like when facing the same color, before she was injured, she might have liked it instinctively; but now, her "like" has turned into "dislike".

Such changes are not just a little bit, but widespread.

In other words, even if Yu Ci removes the evil restraint of the Rakshasa Ghost King, Xue Pingzhi's temperament will never return to the past.

You must know that at a level like Xue Pingzhi's, the inside and outside must be integrated. The mentality, realm, and thinking must be integrated, and there must be no slight deviations, and there can be no deviations. This has been polished over many years and must be perfect, forming an important part of the Tao foundation.

However, due to this disease, the long-term suppressed xinxing has deviated from the memory before the trauma. No matter how difficult it is to be completely in tune, forced integration will only cause more serious consequences.

Such a method of "transferring empathy" is tantamount to eliminating the possibility of Xue Pingzhi going any further.

And this...Xue Pingzhi should already know this!

Walking along the way from the delusion realm, Yu Ci had seen almost everything he should and shouldn't have seen, and he was already well aware of the origins of the hatred between the Rakshasa Ghost King and Xue Pingzhi.

Similarly, he also knows clearly that Xue Pingzhi has not just waited for "Yuanxu Tianjun" to save his life in these years. During these long years, he has also tried every means to resist and resolve Rakshasa. The Ghost King's restraint method.

After obtaining the "Melting Pot Talisman", Xue Pingzhi's efforts have made substantial progress.

But in a sense, "progress" is often meant to prove:

The future is difficult and dangerous, and this road is blocked!

From the beginning to the end, Xue Pingzhi’s eyes were fixed on his face without moving a bit. It seemed that he felt that he had taken too long to feel his pulse, so he asked:

"What do fellow Taoists think?"

Yu Ci thought about it for a while and then responded. He only said that the root cause was the physical body, but did not directly mention the disease.

Although Xue Pingzhi was half asleep, he was still very keen on this issue and asked directly:

"Fellow Taoist, it seems you have unfinished thoughts?"

Yu Ci smiled: "Isn't Yuanjun already doing the rest?"

Under Xue Pingzhi’s attention, Yu Ci retracted his hand and asked directly: "Yuan Jun wants to reopen the river?"

"River? This is a wonderful description."

Xue Pingzhi smiled brightly: "What do fellow Taoists think of this method?"

Yu Ci responded: "Mrs. Hua's cold spring eyes are indeed effective...but this method is too dangerous after all."

Now, Yu Ci finally understood why Xue Pingzhi used that cold spring eye.

The cold spring contains the magic gate's secret pattern, which is designed to stimulate thoughts, expand ideas, and inspire inspiration. However, it is very dangerous for Xue Pingzhi, who has "seven emotions", but she just uses it.

Xue Pingzhi's thoughts were understood by Yu Ci - since the Rakshasa Ghost King could use his emotional power to cause pathological changes back then, she could also use the same technique to make a fuss again.

Before, Xue Pingzhi had no power to fight back, nor the ability to make corrections, but since she obtained the "Melting Furnace Technique" from Yu Ci, she finally had a chance to breathe and try to correct it.

The general idea is to use the furnace talisman to build a dam to block the river, block the emotional torrent and gather momentum, wait until it reaches a certain level, and then let it go in one fell swoop, washing away the messy "traces" and reshaping the emotional "inertia" and "reaction".

During this process, she can adapt and adjust in a prepared manner, quickly integrating her mind, spirit, and form to bring them back into harmony.

But this method has a huge problem

When the torrent of emotions accumulated in such an extreme way is truly released, there will be no special care. Whether it is the influence of the Rakshasa Ghost King or the emotional imprints accumulated by Xue Pingzhi in his early years, they will all be given. Washing it clean is tantamount to sweeping away the past more thoroughly.

Of course, incomplete emotional imprinting is equivalent to "memory", and things experienced in the past should not be washed away.

But without the corresponding emotions, are certain memories still necessary to exist?

Yu Ci shudders just thinking about what Xue Pingzhi will look like after ten or a hundred years.

"Yuanjun..."

Yu Ci wanted to persuade him, but when he looked into Xue Pingzhi's eyes, his mouth felt inexplicably sour.

After a moment of hesitation, Xue Pingzhi said again:

"Since Taoist friends think it is effective, it means that the method I came up with behind closed doors is somewhat reasonable. However, after all, there are specialties in the art, I wonder if you can make further improvements?"

Xue Pingzhi is quite self-aware.

In Yu Ci's view, not to mention her ideas, her attainments in the emotional method are really average. The method of the Rakshasa Ghost King also limits her ability to achieve anything in it. The related savings and guidance The method is very crude and seems to be done behind closed doors and taken for granted.

But... did Xue Pingzhi ask him to help correct it?

This undoubtedly requires courage and determination.

If Yu Ci has any bad intentions, he can completely manipulate his mood. It is just a matter of replacing the Rakshasa Ghost King and installing another "Yu Ci".

To be honest, Yu Ci felt that if Xue Pingzhi knew about his attainments in the mind of the God Lord and the Demon Sect, even if he was ten times more courageous, he might not dare to let him take action.

At least put Yu Ci in her position...don't even think about it!

In other words, laymen should not easily speculate on what insiders are doing.

Yu Ci couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, but Xue Pingzhi probably misunderstood his idea and said softly:

"Have you ever seen the **** light in the delusion state?"

Yu Ci nodded naturally.

"Where's the end?"

Yu Ci was speechless for a moment, as long as he was in contact with the Rakshasa Ghost King, there would always be some embarrassing scenes, but in the end he admitted:

"I also saw..."

This is another key issue he discovered.

The Rakshasa Ghost King imposed a ban on Xue Pingzhi, but that was not all. Because that method is by no means simply torture - even if some of them have been tampered with beyond recognition, the combination of multiple scenes still closely supports this point.

During the years of entanglement and confrontation between the two, the Rakshasa Ghost King has used the methods of the God Lord, and she succeeded...

In other words, Xue Pingzhi is a believer of the Rakshasa Ghost King - at least, he was a former believer.

But the most important thing is not here, but the time:

The time when the Rakshasa Ghost King used the methods of the God Lord was not when he first fell out with Xue Pingzhi, but after thousands of years, at the beginning of this catastrophe!
