The door suddenly opened at this moment. Xia Qinghe walked into the house carrying a bag and saw Jiang Qiao and his daughter-in-law, who had not yet met each other, sitting on the sofa hand in hand. The couple was obviously very affectionate.
She sighed inwardly, her son was fine, he didn't seem to have even written a single stroke of the eight characters, and he was almost halfway through writing each stroke.
Bai Yueling blushed when she saw this, and quickly took her palm out of Jiang Qiao's hand. Although she had promised Jiang Qiao to flirt with others outside, she was still very shy.
"It's okay, keep going, I didn't see anything." Xia Qinghe blinked.
Jiang Qiao was helpless. The warmth he had finally brewed disappeared all of a sudden. He coughed lightly, stood up and walked towards her.
"Mom, what's for dinner?"
"The spicy boiled fish you like to eat, does Yue Ling... like it?"
Jiang Qiao glanced at Fairy Bai: "Mom, spicy food hurts my stomach. My diet has become lighter recently."
Xia Qinghe looked at his son seriously, not knowing that he was speaking for Bai Yueling.
"Then I steam it?" she asked softly.
Bai Yueling pretended to caress Xiao Hei, but actually listened to their conversation quietly. She absentmindedly pinched Fulu's flesh pad with her little hands. With a strong force, her claws opened completely, revealing her sharp nails.
"Auntie, you can eat whatever you like. Don't worry about me. I just eat less spicy food. It's not that I can't eat it."
Xia Qinghe's eyebrows were filled with joy. The daughter-in-law here was quite good at observing people's emotions.
"Jiang Qiao is right. Eating spicy food often is not good for your health. His father and I are getting older and we need to pay attention to our health. You guys can play for now while I go get some food."
Bai Yueling bit her lip and nodded, and she could tell that Xia Qinghe was taking care of her food taste.
She and Jiang Qiao were the only two people left in the living room again. She glared hard at Jiang Qiao, blaming this guy for always touching her. He had agreed to only hook his fingers, but why did he hold hands while he was talking
Jiang Qiao didn't have any consciousness at all. He smiled, took Shou Xi out of the cat's nest and talked gibberingly.
"Well, at first, I was a little unaccustomed to it. Not to mention you, I wasn't used to it either. I was very nervous. I don't know if you have that feeling, that is, being looked at by others..."
"You still say that!?" Bai Yueling warned with a fierce glare.
"Don't tell me, don't tell me..."
"Auntie just saw it. It's two hundred today. Don't cheat!"
Jiang Qiao nodded quickly: "Definitely this time."
The two of them were quiet again. Fairy Bai just lowered her head and rubbed Xiao Hei's belly without knowing what she was thinking. Fu Lu lay on her lap comfortably like a human being, making a purring sound.
"By the way, have you found a solution to the inner demon problem?" Jiang Qiao sat closer and asked in a low voice.
Fairy Bai's face changed slightly: "Did she appear again last night?"
Jiang Qiao's expression remained unchanged and he shook his head very calmly.
"No, I just suddenly remembered it and asked casually."
But the fact is that there are two people and three souls. The inner demon has become a habit of sneaking into his room and climbing into his bed every night, so the person involved is still kept in the dark.
There was always a thorn in his heart, and he hesitated every day whether to confess to Fairy Bai.
Fairy Bai had a solemn look on her face: "I can feel the inner demons dormant, probably looking for opportunities for my Taoist heart to be unstable. Although I chant Huang Ting every night, the effect is minimal."
"What is Taoist Heart?" Jiang Qiao asked.
Bai Yueling thought for a while, how to answer in a way that he could understand.
"The Dao Heart can be simply considered as the embodiment of the Dao Fruit and the carrier of one's own cultivation realm. The instability of the Dao Heart is often accompanied by a decline. If the Dao Heart collapses, the cultivation will disappear, it will wither overnight, and one thought will turn into a demon... all possible."
Jiang Qiao understood a little bit about the impact of an unstable Taoist mind on himself.
"Then why is the Taoist mind unstable again?" he asked again.
"There are a lot of factors that play into it."
Fairy Bai slowly said: "For example, in sword cultivation, some people practice the sentimental sword, some practice the ruthless sword, and some people always maintain an innocent heart. What they cultivate is that the sword heart is clear, while the Tao heart is dusty, which means the denial of the past Tao. Another example is that there is someone who has never been defeated in a battle with the same realm since he started practicing Taoism. He believed in the invincible way, but was ruthlessly defeated by another proud man of heaven. His belief collapsed and it is difficult to advance further in this life."
Jiang Qiao almost understood.
Immortal cultivators all set a goal to strive for, but many factors will affect it along the way. If their faith is shaken, their Taoist mind will be unstable. Once they fall into self-doubt, it is easy to have inner demons.
This is just like mathematicians who have determined that π is an infinite non-repeating decimal. If pi is calculated by a supercomputer one day, calculus will be overturned, the mathematical building will collapse, the entire mathematical system will need to be re-established, and the standards of scientific measurement will also be They all need to be completely overthrown. The earth may not be destroyed, but the academic world is tantamount to losing its cornerstone.
From this point of view, the instability of the Taoist mind is indeed serious.
"What about you? What kind of Tao are you cultivating?" Jiang Qiao looked at her. After all, only by having a thorough understanding can we prescribe the right medicine.
"My problem is very complicated. Like my master, I cultivated the great path of forgetting love. In the end, I abandoned the seven emotions and six desires and became consistent with the way of heaven. After all, the way of heaven is not benevolent and the way of heaven is ruthless. I want to become an immortal and seek eternal life." Fairy Bai Said softly.
Jiang Qiao fell into silence for a moment. No wonder the demon in her heart always wanted to corrupt her. If she had secret feelings, wouldn't it go against her own path
"But you are a human being. You have had emotions and desires since you were born. How can you forget? Immortal character is a single person on a mountain. How can you become an immortal if you lose your humanity?" Jiang Qiao didn't understand. Isn't this nonsense
"Yes, this is the most controversial point in the world of immortality." Bai Yueling sighed quietly. It was obvious that she also understood this truth.
"But the way of forgetting love coincides with the way of heaven. It is invincible in the same realm, and its cultivation progresses rapidly. However, once a monk has feelings, he will be disturbed by all kinds of distracting thoughts and desires, and ultimately achieve nothing."
"Can't you get a patch?"
"Patch?" Fairy Bai wondered.
"Uh... Internet terminology, it's equivalent to checking for omissions and filling in gaps, and correcting problems in a timely manner, rather than focusing on getting into trouble."
Jiang Qiao gave an example: "There was once a great emperor who had a rough life. He was defeated all the way and was almost beaten to the point of losing his Taoist heart. After a hundred defeats, he was reborn and became a demon. In the end, he turned everything around, defeated all his opponents in the past, and reached the top alone. "
"After a hundred defeats, the devil fetus has become a success, but is he still the same person at that time?" Fairy Bai couldn't help but ask.
Jiang Qiao's breath was stagnant. According to the description in the book, the Luan Gu Emperor who was reborn after breaking out of his cocoon practiced the Killing Wo Ming Dao Jue. He was indeed like an inner demon. After all, he had even killed himself, so what else couldn't be killed
He looked sarcastic and said nothing. The red-haired and unknown Chentian Emperor was really doing a lot of harm to people!
