Cultivation Begins From The Desert

When the fireball shattered the giant cyan crab, the roar of the explosion caused the little woman Cuilian and her husband to turn their heads to watch.

When they saw the blue giant crab dying in the flames, their expressions were joyful.

But when Zhou Yang, who was waiting to die on the ground, suddenly stood up from the ground and ran towards the husband and wife with brisk steps, their faces were immediately filled with horror, as if they saw some ferocious monster.

"Forgive me, Brother Big Niu, please forgive me! We were wrong, and we dare not do it again. Please do me a favor and spare our lives!"

Before Zhou Yang could reach her, the husband on the back of the little woman, Cuilian, had already slipped off her back, kowtowed on the ground and begged for mercy.

His desire to survive is very strong.

"Where did you go wrong?"

Looking at the man lying on the ground kowtowing and begging for mercy, Zhou Yang asked indifferently.

Hearing what he said, the man immediately shouted: "I was wrong, I shouldn't have let Cuilian take me away, I shouldn't have stopped Cuilian to help you, Brother Big Niu!"

"Very well, you know where you are wrong, and you are not hopeless."

Zhou Yang nodded slightly, his tone slightly gentle.

The man seemed to be encouraged, he was refreshed, and hurriedly shouted: "I know I was wrong, please look at the old love, the adults don't remember the villain's faults and bypass me This time, Cuilian and I will definitely act like cows and horses to repay your kindness, Brother Big Niu!"

Zhou Yang heard the man's words, but he didn't respond indifferently. Instead, he looked at the little woman Cuilian who seemed to have not recovered, and said, "Sister Cuilian? Why haven't you spoken?" ?”

The little woman Cuilian's body shook suddenly, she looked at him with shame and fear and said, "Brother Big Niu, I...I'm sorry for you, I'm useless, I'm ungrateful, if you want to blame, blame me!"

"I will agree to run away with you because you gave me a meal when I was hungry."

Zhou Yang looked at the timid little woman, and said in a calm tone: "Now, I have repaid the love for you, so you can do it yourself!"

After he finished speaking, he didn't even look at the couple again, he turned around and rushed towards the fishing village.

"Brother Big Niu, Brother Big Niu..."

The little woman Cuilian looked at his back and shouted loudly, as if she wanted to say something, but was quickly pulled down by her husband to the ground, covered her mouth and did not follow up.

When Zhou Yang returned to the fishing village, he quickly cast spells to kill several monsters that had come ashore to make trouble, and calmed down the chaos of monsters.

When the villagers in the fishing village heard that the monster was killed, they all returned to the fishing village with great joy, and complimented Zhou Yang, the hero who killed the monster.

At night, Zhou Yang, who had nowhere to go, returned to the home of the little woman Cuilian.

The villagers who fled during the day returned one after another within half a day, but the little woman Cuilian's family was nowhere to be seen.

The villagers all thought that their family had been killed by monsters.

Zhou Yang was noncommittal about this and didn't care.

All he wanted to do now was to find the flaws in this illusion and escape from it.

In the middle of the night, Zhou Yang, who was meditating instead of sleeping, suddenly opened his eyes and looked outside the door.

"Who's out there?"

With a low shout and a wave of his sleeve, the wooden door opened with a bang.

"Brother Big Niu, Brother Big Niu, save Husband quickly, please save Husband, only you can save him!"

Outside the door, the little woman Cuilian, with her pretty face stained with blood, crawled on the ground step by step with her husband on her back, crawling all the way to the gate, looking at Zhou Yang with a begging look on her face, begging endlessly.

Zhou Yang raised his eyes and saw that the man's paralyzed legs were severed by He Li's weapon. He only wrapped the wound with two pieces of clothes, lying on the little woman's back dying, and had already lost consciousness.

Seeing this, his eyes flashed, and he did not rush to respond to the little woman's plea, but looked at her and asked, "Where are your two children?"

Hearing his words, the little woman turned pale, and then burst into tears: "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

When Zhou Yang heard this, he immediately said with a strange expression: "This is strange. Your husband, who is paralyzed in both legs, survived the mouth of a monster. Why did your two children with complete limbs die in the mouth of a monster?"

The crying little woman's voice faltered suddenly, and a look of resentment and pain appeared on her face as she whispered, "Yes..."

"What is it?"

Zhou Yang looked at the little woman who didn't continue at the beginning of the conversation, and asked after her.

Being questioned by him, the little woman couldn't help shaking her head violently and crying, "Woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo L If you don't save him, he will die!"

"You refuse to say it because the person who killed your two children is your husband!"

Zhou Yang looked at the little woman indifferently, and the words in his mouth made her stand on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Then she shook her head desperately and shouted: "No, no, no, no..."

"Zhang Cuilian!"

Zhou Yang shouted suddenly, looked at the little woman who was frightened by his shouting with cold eyes, and said in a cold tone: "It is a good thing that you are affectionate and righteous, and you can still never leave your paralyzed and disabled husband. , worthy of respect!"

"But you shouldn't cover up and protect him in everything just because he is your husband, and you shouldn't just ignore his evil deeds just because he is your husband, as if they didn't happen!"

"During the day, you obeyed his words and ignored my pleas for help. I have nothing to say, I just misunderstood you, but now you want me to save a villain who killed his own children for his own life. Do not think!"

After finishing speaking, he left the room directly and quickly disappeared from the little woman's sight.

The next morning, the body of the little woman Cuilian was found by passing villagers, and she hanged herself in her own home.

And her husband was lying in a pool of blood with his body and head separated, with a bloody kitchen knife scattered beside him.

When Zhou Yang heard the news and rushed to the scene, he looked at the blood-stained kitchen knife on the ground with a gratified smile on his face.

"You can still laugh? You caused all of this. If you weren't cold-blooded and ruthless, Zhang Cuilian would not have died, let alone killed her husband before she died!"

"This tragedy of human relations between husband and wife is caused by you, how can you still laugh?"

The stern voice suddenly exploded in Zhou Yang's ears, causing his eardrums to ache.

There was a glint in his eyes, and he didn't look for where the owner of the voice was. He just said with a straight face: "Why can't I laugh? Zhang Cuilian's husband is selfish and cruel. For his own survival, he not only disregarded the life and death of his savior. If you don't save yourself, even your own children can abandon themselves to monsters, such a selfish and vicious person, a thousand cuts would not be a pity!"

"Although Zhang Cuilian is kind, she is also ignorant and ignorant. She only knows how to obey her husband ignorantly, without any opinions of her own. Even after she witnessed her husband killing her own flesh and blood, she still didn't come to her senses and tried to deceive herself and others to excuse her husband."

"It's not that I don't want to save the dead, but I don't save the damned!"

"The killing of Zhang Cuilian and his wife is not a tragedy of human relations, but a woman who has been oppressed and tortured. She awakened her conscience and redeemed herself!"

"Death is not a bad thing for her, but a relief, otherwise she will only spend the rest of her life in endless sorrow and regret, and that life will be worse than death!"

"My smile is because Zhang Cuilian is finally free. She was able to realize self-salvation before she died. It is really gratifying. It can be said that she died well!"

After he finished speaking, the master who asked him did not reply for a long time.

Fortunately, Zhou Yang was not in a hurry, but just waited quietly with a calm expression.

He knows that whether he can pass this test depends on whether he can persuade the owner of the voice to accept his point of view.

And if he guessed correctly, the owner of this voice should be a consciousness clone left by that [Donglai real person].

"False reasoning, pure truth is false reasoning!"

"Zhang Cuilian's husband just wants to live. Is it wrong for him to want to live? If you don't save him, do you dare to say that it's not because he didn't let Zhang Cuilian save you before, and you have resentment towards him?"

"Besides, he didn't really harm you. His two children just died at the mouth of monsters because they escorted him to escape!"

Sure enough, the owner of that voice was not so easily persuaded by Zhou Yang, and soon angrily refuted his words.

The words that came out of his mouth filled Zhou Yang's doubts.

There was a flash of understanding in his eyes, and then he retorted without showing any weakness to the owner of the voice: "It is not wrong for Zhang Cuilian's husband to want to survive, but the method he chose to survive is wrong. Humans are not beasts. You can't completely abandon human nature and morality just because I want to live, that's the idea of ​​a cultivator of evil ways and evil ways that my generation of monks will punish!"

"I didn't save him. Of course there was a reason why he prevented Zhang Cuilian from saving me, but that was definitely not the main reason. The main reason was as I said before, such cruel and vicious villains are not worth my saving! "

"As for saying that he didn't take the initiative to harm me, this is a fallacy. When he is capable of saving people but refuses to save them, it is actually the same as killing someone with his own hands. Isn't that what you accused me of just now?"

"And you said that both of his children died at the mouth of the monster because he was escorting him to escape. Isn't that the evidence that he mutilated the two children? He is a disabled person. When he is chased by a monster, he can be said to die Undoubtedly, but he lies high on his wife's back, letting his wife and children share the monster's attention for him, not only does this not have any responsibility as a husband, it does not have any responsibility as a man, it is a kind of deliberate murder!"

Zhou Yang's words were resounding.

He responded to the voice master's words with righteous words, and did not shrink back and timidly because of the identity of the other party.

The real xinxing test is not to let the person being tested blindly cater to the will of the tester, but to make the person being tested be able to make the tester agree with him.

Zhou Yang is already a monk in the Nascent Soul stage. In terms of xinxing, he already has his own subjective xinxing.

Even if he knew in advance what kind of person the [Donglai real person] who tested his xinxing liked, he would not be able to intentionally twist his xinxing to cater to him during the test.

That would not only fail to hide the truth from the other party, but would also be harmful to his own practice.

At the same time, he also believed that [Donglai real person] would never formulate any fixed passing standards when setting up this kind of test, otherwise it would be basically impossible to find the kind of people who really strictly meet the standards.

Therefore, in the current debate, he is actually convincing the other party that his approach meets the standard.

At this time, after listening to his words, the voice was only silent for a while, and then asked again: "You said that Zhang Cuilian's husband was not responsible, so let me ask you, if you and his identities were swapped, are you sure you can do it at that time?" Will you sacrifice yourself and let your wife and children go first?"

"Of course I can! And I always do!"

Zhou Yang replied without hesitation, completely following his heart.

"For the time being, you have passed this level. I hope you can remember what you said today so that you can do it yourself!"

When the voice fell, Zhou Yang's eyes blurred, and his consciousness left the illusion and returned to his body.

At this time, he looked at the wordless stone tablet again, and there were already three large characters on it—Knock Heart Tablet!

"[Knock on Heart Monument], does it mean to ask your heart?"

Zhou Yang nodded thoughtfully, and couldn't help muttering to himself: "This thing is an excellent treasure for sharpening one's character. If it can be brought back to the family, if there are those who are cold-hearted and ungrateful among the younger generations of the family Those of you, you only need to walk inside this treasure once, and you will be able to see their true colors, so be prepared in advance!"

Of course he was just talking.

Not to mention whether this object can be moved, even if it can be taken away, it has to wait for him to pass all the tests and successfully inherit the Taoist inheritance of [Donglai Zhenren].

Therefore, he only took a deep look at the stele, and then continued to climb up the stone steps to the top.

After climbing hundreds of stone steps like this, a puppet figure suddenly appeared on the stone steps in front of Zhou Yang.

A sixth-order puppet whose cultivation aura has reached the initial stage of the Nascent Soul!

"Beat me so you can move on!"

A humanoid puppet whose body was covered with silver metal scales pointed at Zhou Yang with a long silver sword in his hand, and said the way to clear the level in a nonchalant tone.

And when the humanoid puppet's words fell, Zhou Yang suddenly felt that the power that suppressed his flight disappeared.

With a thought, his feet lifted off the ground and floated in mid-air.

"Come on, let's fight!"

With a shout of war in his eyes, Dang even sacrificed his natal magic weapon [Qianyang Golden Pagoda] and hit the humanoid puppet.

The golden pagoda came crushing across the sky, but the puppet waved its sword calmly.

An extremely fierce silver-white sword energy shot out, instantly blasting the flying [Qianyang Golden Pagoda] away.

Then the silver lightning flashed on the body of the puppet, and its body disappeared out of thin air.

When it reappeared, it was already a foot behind Zhou Yang, and the silver long sword in his hand was slashing straight at Zhou Yang's head.

I'm guilty, I couldn't hold back tonight, I couldn't stand the temptation and went out to eat hot pot! The main reason is that someone treats guests, and if you don't eat for nothing, don't eat it! Then everyone saw that it was only 4,000 words long, which was relatively short. I will make up for it in the future by writing a large chapter with 8,000 words, for sure!
