First Son-in-law

Birthday!

Today is Qin Li's birthday!

Even Qin Li himself forgot.

But Old Demon Dugu remembered it in his heart.

At this moment, Old Demon Dugu had already chosen a good location, bought a table of delicacies, and prepared a bowl of noodles for Qin Li.

"Boy Qin, congratulations on your 100th birthday. According to the customs of the practice world, this is called crossing the mortal calamity, because a hundred years old is the limit of a mortal's lifespan. After today, your lifespan is extraordinary. Congratulations."

"Mo Yao and the others should have celebrated for you, but now I'm the only one here. I heard that there is a custom on your earth called eating cakes. I don't know how to make them, so I cook and make you a bowl of longevity noodles for a long time. , Longevity is boundless."

"Senior." Qin Li was moved in his heart.

Chewing noodles, indescribably warm.

Thinking about it carefully, I am actually a hundred years old!

From Yangcheng to the ruins, and then wandered around the barren land, ascended to the Sifang domain, and after dominating the southern domain, came to the world of Qianyuan.

Too much has happened, and I am no longer young.

In memory.

ear.

There was a loud noise.

"Buy and leave, let's see who wins."

A group of demon cultivators huddled together, the scene was lively, and they didn't know what to do.

Old Demon Dugu said: "Dou Zhi, you can understand it as fighting crickets, a very common form of entertainment."

"have a look!"

Qin Li wants to see it.

The two walked over and saw all the demons surrounding a copper urn.

There are two insects in the urn, a thick white jade silkworm with broken teeth in its mouth, and a green grasshopper, only the size of soybeans.

The two insects fought each other, and the white jade silkworm was ferocious, wriggling its body as thick as a thumb, vowing to annex the other.

Although the green grasshopper is small in size, it is fast, moving around in the copper urn without admitting defeat.

Qin Li was fascinated by seeing it.

He thinks he is a green grasshopper.

The enemy was ferocious and pressed every step of the way, but he was not discouraged and fought hard.

Qin Li was inspired, and he secretly cheered for Qinggao in his heart.

This green grasshopper was also up to the challenge, showing amazing resilience, and in the end it just ate the white jade silkworm to death.

"good!"

Qin Li rejoiced.

At this moment, a magic hand reached into the copper urn.

With one palm, he crushed the winner—Qing Grasshopper.

"What are you doing!" Qin Li burst into anger instantly, his eyes lit up fiercely.

It was the owner of the copper urn who made the move, and said with a snort, "Only when the jade silkworm wins, can I make money, but the little green grasshopper disobeyed my thoughts and made me lose a lot, so I should be pinched to death. This is the only way to relieve my anger."

"hateful!"

Qin Li gritted his teeth angrily.

For a moment, he recalled many painful memories.

The puppet show in the dream, the shame of being held in the pool of chaos by the mysterious female weapon spirit.

For some reason, the anger in his chest became more and more intense, he lost his sanity, and had the urge to kill.

"Boy Qin!"

Old Demon Dugu hurriedly stopped him:

"That's just a green grasshopper, not you!"

Qin Li was instantly discouraged, all anger disappeared, his back slightly hunched, full of helplessness and unwillingness.

This birthday was suddenly dull.

Qin Li returned to the room.

There was a cloud over his face that could not be resolved.

"Senior, am I being irritable and fragile because my Dao heart has been wounded?"

"Your heart is not only injured, but also your soul is polluted. The road to cultivation is basically cut off, because no matter how hard you try, you are still making wedding dresses for others." Old Demon Dugu kept sighing.

Qin Li smiled wryly: "Senior, in fact, after I came back from the fairy world, I started to be confused and doubt myself. As the emperor of the gods pressed harder and harder, I was not only unable to understand my obsessions, but fell into pain, palpitations from time to time, and nightmares. , is no longer that glorious Great Sun Sword God."

Old Demon Dugu understands that Qin Li's pain is the accumulation of long-term depression, and anyone who encounters this kind of situation will collapse. He wanted to help very much, but he couldn't do anything, so he could only say:

"Qin boy, I understand your feelings. After my hometown was destroyed, I wandered in the devil world in a daze. Fortunately, I met my master, the old heavenly master. He is a very powerful master of heaven, and he told me about the 'three selves'. "

"Self-self; inborn, pointing to the most primitive desire in the heart. Self, is self-awareness, and also what you think. Dao me is the product of self-transcendence, and it is also the person you want to be."

"The desire of the self, the will of the self, and the pursuit of the Tao. The Trinity constitutes our independent personality. At the same time, the three selves correspond to the past, present, and future in turn, and they are also our life trajectory, which can also be called destiny."

Qin Li was thoughtful.

Carefully chew on Dugu Wudi's words.

"It turns out that only when the three of us are united can we have an independent personality."

"I may be the reincarnation of the immortal emperor, which shows that I am not pure. Now I have been grafted with the dharma, infused with the consciousness of the emperor, and I am polluted. My pursuit is nothing more than the safety of my family and the happiness of all beings. But Chu Qingyin was kneaded by the emperor, explaining: I'm just someone else's puppet."

"The me in the past made me haunted by nightmares; the me now makes my heart feel like a knife; the me in the future makes me confused and numb."

"Perhaps, there is no me at all, only a puppet..."

Words fell.

Qin Li let out a miserable laugh.

He figured it out, but also despaired.

Wisps of magic energy evaporated from the body surface.

The originally blue vertical eyes between the brows suddenly dimmed and turned into pitch black.

If the eyes of the sky are opened, not only will it reflect the door of all wonders, but also a gloomy shadow, treacherous and stern.

Old Demon Dugu was dumbfounded:

"Oops, Qin boy, you have already bred demons and disturbed your sanity."

"Demon?" Qin Li frowned.

Accumulated for many days, malicious evil.

Old Demon Dugu was extremely nervous and exclaimed:

"Miscellaneous thoughts are firewood, malice is fire, reflecting evil thoughts is the heart demon."

"It's a big trouble! The inner demon is poison, and there is no medicine to cure it. It would be fine in other worlds. But in the demon world, where the devil's energy is surging, and the devil's day is bright, the inner demon will quickly breed and grow, stealing your mind and occupying you. body."

"To make matters worse!"

Qin Li smiled wryly and asked:

"Senior, is there a way to kill the heart demon?"

Dugu Laomo said: "You must use great courage, great perseverance, and great wisdom to understand yourself and eradicate distracting thoughts in order to eliminate the demons."

"Otherwise, all external means are useless, because the inner demon is the evil thought in your heart. If you don't get rid of the root, if you cut it a thousand times, you will be resurrected a thousand times. The more you kill, the stronger you become, just like a leek, the more you cut it, the stronger it will be."

Qin Li smiled bitterly.

"I understand myself, it seems that there is no play."

"I am not me, I am not me, I am not me, how can I talk about enlightenment?"

"It's so painful! It's more painful than facing Wanguiyi back then. I can't see the enemy, but only my fallen self. Senior, will I die in this calamity?"

Old Demon Dugu anxiously scratched his forehead and scratched his cheek. He watched Qin Li's rise step by step, and witnessed Qin Li's obsession with his own eyes. His heart was like a knife.

He wanted to help, but he had no means at all. He could only watch Qin Li degenerate.

boom!

Suddenly there was a muffled sound.

Then more and more noises came.

Through the window, you can see dozens of beams of light soaring into the sky in the mountains and forests in the distance.

"It seems that the berries are too ripe and the leaves are falling out. As a disturbance, we must pick them as soon as possible." Dugu Laomo said:

"Kid Qin, don't you want to resurrect Chu Qingyin?"

"Voiceless."

Qin Li's dim eyes lit up instantly.
