"Breaking fate?" The smile on Cui Benshan's face faded, and his expression showed a hint of helplessness.

Seeing this, Jiang Cheng thought Cui Benshan was shaken and intended to provoke him, so he asked, "Don't you want to? Or are you scared?"

"Afraid?" Cui Benshan's smile faded and he said seriously, "I have experienced so many horrific things and nearly survived many times. When have I ever complained about this? I have known for a long time that killing demons and defending the Tao is mine. Destiny, I am proud of it, why should I be afraid?”

Cui Benshan's answer surprised Jiang Cheng. Seeing the other party's upright and awe-inspiring look, the shadow of Xu Dingjia could not help but appear in his mind. Although this young man has many shortcomings, he has the same determination as Cui Benshan when facing evil forces. Otherwise, he would not sacrifice himself to buy a glimmer of life for Jiangcheng and the strangers in the camp.

When Jiang Cheng didn't speak, Cui Benshanshen said again, "You ask this, but you are actually afraid!"

"Am I afraid?" Jiang Cheng was about to object, but after thinking about it carefully, he had to admit it and replied, "Yes, I am afraid! What I am afraid of is not the evil power, but the fear of the people around me if this continues. people will keep leaving.”

"I know." Cui Benshan's tone softened and he said, "I was also conflicted and confused about this. But after I saw a clue of fate, I realized that this is the best arrangement. We can only Accept it, don’t resist.”

"Can't resist?" Jiang Cheng felt uncomfortable and said, "I don't understand what you mean!"

Cui Benshan stood up slowly and approached Jiangcheng. The surrounding gray-white mist seemed to be alive, slowly spreading to both sides, making way for him.

"You still know too little now." Cui Benshan sighed, "I don't know if this is a blessing. But now you need to know something."

As Cui Benshan approached, Jiang Cheng felt an inexplicable pressure. The other party's mental power was strong and huge, as if a mountain was slowly moving.

Facing the increasing mental pressure, Jiang Cheng could hardly stand and could only mobilize his own mental power to resist. But facing this mental pressure, Jiang Cheng was very confused and couldn't help but ask, "What do you want me to know?"

Cui Benshan was still approaching, and the distance between the two was less than ten meters, but he seemed to never reach the end, and his figure was getting bigger and bigger in the process.

"Destiny!" Cui Benshan's voice was like Huang Zhongda Lu, echoing in Jiang Cheng's consciousness, "You need to understand, what is fate?"

Jiang Cheng felt an involuntary shock all over his body, and everything around him turned white. Then his soul seemed to fly out of his body and into an unknown world.

This is a pure white space, without a trace of pollution, so pure that it is unbelievable. Jiang Cheng was floating in the air and found a figure appearing on the ground, but it was Cui Benshan.

"Where is this?" Jiang Cheng descended slowly and asked Cui Benshan.

Cui Benshan replied, "We are in your consciousness."

"In my consciousness?" Jiang Cheng looked around in confusion and murmured, "Is this what my consciousness looks like?"

Jiang Cheng felt carefully and found that everything around him was very closely related to himself. Although he had been practicing for a while and could feel various subtle changes in consciousness, he had never been so completely immersed in them as he was now.

"It's different from the consciousness you usually perceive, right?" Cui Benshan asked.

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Cui Benshan said, "That's because your practice is not enough, and your mental power has not been focused to an impeccable level. Therefore, even if you can detect the subconscious mind, you cannot see the deepest part of your consciousness."

Jiang Cheng thought of something and asked, "Aren't you going to tell me what fate is? Why did you bring me to the depths of your consciousness again?"

"For you, the best way to understand your destiny is to understand your heart!"

"Heart? Deeper consciousness?" Jiang Cheng felt that the other party's words were too profound and could not understand their meaning for a while.

Cui Benshan said, "What were you thinking about when you walked in?"

After being reminded by the other party, Jiang Cheng thought that when he entered the door, he hesitated briefly. That feeling was very mysterious, and he couldn't understand it at the time. Now that Cui Benshan mentioned it, he must have a deep meaning.

So Jiang Cheng answered honestly, "At that time, I simultaneously had a fear of the unknown and a thirst for knowledge to explore the unknown."

Cui Benshan nodded and said, "Both of these are very important parts of your real talent."

"Real person's talent?" Jiang Cheng seemed to understand somewhat and said, "Xu Dingjia once told me that the real person has the ability to predict the future."

"That's right." Cui Benshan said, "These two are the driving force that stimulates the talent of real people. In fact, they are also the source of motivation for human beings to continue to explore and make progress. It's just that, as a real person, you are more sensitive to these two. But in the end , you quickly stopped hesitating, overcame your fear, and walked through the door. Do you know what the reason for this is?"

It was another strange question, but Jiang Cheng felt inexplicably that he was getting closer to the answer. Despite this feeling, he still couldn't think of a suitable answer to Cui Benshan's question. He could only say, "Isn't it that the desire for knowledge has defeated the fear of the unknown?"

Cui Benshan said, "In human consciousness, the two are always in a state of balance. If there is too much fear of the unknown, people will become self-contained and dare not go out to the outside world. If there is too much curiosity about knowledge, , people will lose their vigilance, which is also the way to death. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the two are evenly matched, and no one can suppress the other. "

If Jiang Cheng realized something, he said: "So, there is still a force controlling my consciousness, driving me in."

"To be precise, it's not that your consciousness is influenced, but that your consciousness chooses to walk in." Cui Benshan corrected.

"Did I walk in on my own?" Jiang Cheng didn't believe it.

Cui Benshan said, "Because here, your deepest consciousness, your God, knows that this is the right choice!"

"God?" Jiang Cheng asked in surprise, "You mean God?"

Cui Benshan nodded and said, "This space has many names, but it is no longer a specific place in your body. Because the Cun Shen Niwan Palace can react with it, so Niwan Palace is often used to refer to this place in Taoist scriptures. Place. "Daoshu Pingdu Chapter" also says: The heavenly brain is the soul of the whole body, the cave of life for hundreds of gods, the mountain source of body fluids, and the jade chamber of soul essence. Fu Neng has a garden in his brain to fill the void with truth. The sky is truly standing, thousands of holes produce smoke, the virtues are in the sky and the earth, and the holes are generous, so it is called Niwan. Niwan is the god above the form. In short, it is this deep consciousness, which is the command of the gods of the body. , the God among gods, also known as the Taiyi God.”

Jiang Cheng was confused and didn't know what to say.

Cui Benshan was not surprised by his reaction, but continued, "Although the human form is a three-dimensional creature, its spiritual core is a high-dimensional creature, so people will react to many bizarre things, among which real people are the most important." The deeper you enter the consciousness, the higher the dimension of its induction will be. When you reach the spiritual essence here, it has reached an indescribable state. It is the Niwan Palace, also known as Alaya Consciousness in Buddhism, where all the seeds of good and evil are placed. It is here. This is the essence of human beings, but it is difficult to understand it because the surface consciousness, that is, the self-awareness created by the common sense of the three-dimensional world. It can even be said that our surface consciousness is only an insignificant part of the true self. This place is omniscient and omnipotent. , cannot be described, can only be called God.”

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng seemed to understand a little and said, "So, you brought me here to let me understand everything? But, how do you do this?"

"This is the deepest part of human consciousness. It is not dirty or pure. Even if it is attacked by the ancient god's apostles, mentally polluted, and fallen into corruption, this place will still be the same as it was originally. So, no matter how strong I am, I can't enter here. It's you My deep consciousness allowed me to bring you here." Cui Benshan said.

"Is it me?" Jiang Cheng pointed at himself, then had an epiphany, put down his hand, and turned to look around, "But it's not me!"

"It seems you understand a little bit." Cui Benshan nodded with satisfaction and said, "So, let God explain all this."
