C1437 To grind stone is to grind heart
Xiao Chen turned around and returned to the area below the cliff wall.
Weighing the stone in his hand, his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. He sat on the praying mat and played with the stone in his hand, then got up again and brought a big rock. He then took out a bucket of water and put it beside him.
Pour water and grind stones.
This matter was extremely boring and dull.
At first, Xiao Chen had been patient, but after three days, he became impatient.
He put down the stone, but his heart was even more confused.
Thus, he once again picked up the stone and continued to grind it.
Three days and then three days. Xiao Chen endured his panic, feeling bored as he continued to grind the rocks.
He didn't use celestial spiritual energy, purely human.
His hands had already turned red, and his ten fingers were linked to his heart. The pain was excruciating.
However, Xiao Chen did not give up.
His eyes had to be focused, he had to get rid of all distractions, he had to concentrate.
Every day, grinding rocks was his business.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, three months had passed. Xiao Chen's hand was dripping with blood.
However, he still did not stop.
Every day, he would grind rocks. With a single grind, he would grind for an entire day.
Sometimes, he even stayed up all night.
He was indefatigable.
Because he noticed that his heart had gradually calmed down.
Xiao Chen had a smile on his face.
Regardless of whether it was the wind or the rain, Xiao Chen would always sit at the bottom of the cliff and polish the rocks. Gradually, one side of the rock had been grinded flat by Xiao Chen.
Xiao Chen touched the scratches on the stone platform; his eyes were filled with satisfaction.
In the past, he had never been so calm.
This was the calmest time of his life. He did not find it hard, boring, and instead felt extremely relaxed.
After half a year, Xiao Chen's breath was very long.
The stone in his hand became even calmer, and it looked like it was about to take shape.
Xiao Chen picked it up and looked at his face.
It was blurry and slightly distorted, and his handsome appearance could turn into such an ugly one.
It must be that the mirror had not been sharpened.
Xiao Chen squatted there and continued to polish himself.
At night, he used the moonlight, either cultivating or playing the zither.
The days passed one by one.
In a flash, Xiao Chen had been thinking about the cliff for nine months. The stone in Xiao Chen's hand could now be folded back. The surface of the rock was covered in a layer of silver paint; it was incredibly bright.
However, he did not laugh on the stone mirror. Instead, his face was full of anger.
This caused Xiao Chen's back to turn cold.
His gaze also changed, and a hint of seriousness flashed through his eyes.
What was going on?
Why was the him in the stone mirror different?
There was even some evil.
Xiao Chen put down the stone mirror and picked it up again after a while. He had disappeared from the mirror just like Xiao Chen did. Xiao Chen heaved a sigh of relief; it seemed like he was hallucinating.
Then, he continued grinding.
However, this feeling still persisted.
However, he chose not to think about it. After a period of time, Xiao Chen picked up the stone mirror again. That evil side appeared again. Xiao Chen focused and looked at himself in the stone mirror, asking in a deep voice, "Who are you?"
An evil smile appeared on the face of the stone mirror as it avoided Xiao Chen's neck erasing hand gesture. The restlessness in Xiao Chen's heart spread out as he tossed the stone mirror far away. He sat there, his body trembling.
That 'me' was too evil.
It always made him feel uncomfortable.
This made Xiao Chen feel unhappy. For example, the experiences of his youth and the Celestial Soul that separated him from the past. Xiao Chen's complexion was very unsightly; his originally calm heart could not calm down again.
It became increasingly difficult to calm down.
Xiao Chen took a deep breath and took out a zither, playing it.
When the zither rang out, Xiao Chen slowly closed his eyes and emptied his mind. However, he was not able to merge with the zither music. Gradually, that figure appeared in his mind once again. Xiao Chen's eyes suddenly opened, flashing with brilliance.
Boom! *
When Xiao Chen made his move, his immortal energy was resplendent as he shattered a huge rock.
A heaven shaking sound echoed out from beneath the cliff.
Xiao Chen panted heavily.
"How could this be?"
Xiao Chen stood up and walked over to the stone mirror he threw out. He hesitated for a moment before picking it up. At this moment, a voice came out from the stone mirror, "Didn't you ask me who I was? "Let me tell you right now, I am you …"
Xiao Chen's brows revealed a trace of anger.
"If you are me, then who am I?"
Xiao Chen looked at himself in the stone mirror and said solemnly.
Xiao Chen, who was in the mirror, smiled, "You are naturally me too."
"Nonsense! Xiao Chen is Xiao Chen. There is only one Xiao Chen in this world. Who exactly are you?"
The figure was confident.
"I am your inner demon, as well as your inner demon."
The two words, inner demons, shook Xiao Chen's heart. Xiao Chen's heart could not help but tremble.
Demonheart?
Why?
Why would he have inner demons born?
When was this?
Xiao Chen asked himself in his heart. However, in the stone mirror, Xiao Chen smiled, "Don't doubt it, I am your mental demon. Xiao Chen asked himself in his heart, but in the stone mirror, Xiao Chen smiled," Don't doubt it, I am your mental demon.
"Impossible!"
Xiao Chen denied it, "My inner demons have been erased a long time ago. You cannot be my inner demons."
"Then why did you see me?"
Xiao Chen asked in the stone mirror.
"Put down that fake appearance of yours. Haven't you gotten tired after so many years?" I've been living under my disguise the entire time. If you don't get tired, I'll get tired.
Your nature is greed, resentment, hatred, bloodlust, why do you have to suppress them all in your heart and not let them out?
They're part of you. "
Every word Xiao Chen said in the stone mirror caused Xiao Chen's eyes to flicker with a glint of light.
If that's the case, why don't you choose to plunder? Now that you are a Saints of the Dao Sect, those trashy things belong to you. Won't you have the strength to snatch them and refine them?
Your resentment, resentment, had once been bullied and humiliated by your family, yet you were unable to resist. Your heart had always been twisted, always like this, never changing.
You are resentful, resentful that the Grand Elder has trapped you under the Reflection Cliff for a year, and this kind of punishment is not something you should bear. Lin Feng deserves to die, so what's wrong with you killing him?
You should not have been punished in the first place! "
"Shut up, I'm not here. What you said was all a lie!" Xiao Chen berated him in the stone mirror, but he did not mind.
"No? Then why are you here, and why are you leaving after a year? "
Xiao Chen narrowed his eyes.
"This is my cultivation."
"Cultivation?" His smile was filled with disdain and contempt, "The Supreme Elder is your master, why didn't he come here to guide you in cultivation? Instead, he left you here by yourself.
And you, like a fool, have been grinding stones here for almost a year, hehe. "
Xiao Chen's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction.
His heart was moved.
Each of his words was stabbed into Xiao Chen's heart, causing a huge wave to rise up in Xiao Chen's heart. It caused Xiao Chen's originally calm heart to ripple once again.
"You're the one who's hateful towards everything that's unfair to you, believing that they're all wrong. You're the only one who's right, yet you don't say it out loud.
You are a murderer, in the Profound Sky Continent and in the Heavenly Realm, how many heaven's pride level blood are stained on your hands, and how many innocent people's blood is stained on your hands, no less than several hundred thousand. You are an executioner, and just because they are standing against you, they deserve to die, and that is your nature.
Xiao Chen's breathing started to quicken.
A fierce gleam flashed in his eyes.
Everything he said in the stone mirror … Was it really him?
Is that so?
Seems so!
All of this was within his heart.
Xiao Chen's eyes seemed to be rotating; it was as though a crack had been formed between his heart and the stone mirror. Furthermore, that ferocious beast was crawling out from his heart.
He was baring his fangs and brandishing his claws.
He opened his bloody mouth.
It was as if he wanted to consume everything.
Cold sweat soaked Xiao Chen's back. He panted heavily. Suddenly, his chest felt hot; his eyes became clear again.
The jade pendant began to glow.
Immediately, Xiao Chen's complexion turned ugly in the stone mirror. At this moment, Xiao Chen recovered his wits. He had been bewitched by the inner demons earlier.
I almost let him out.
Fortunately, his mother had left him a jade pendant that allowed him to maintain a sliver of clarity, or else he would be in deep trouble today.
Following that, Xiao Chen looked at the stone mirror.
A smile broke out on his face. "Truly powerful. Worthy of being the inner demon of the Dao Realm. Just not the same. I almost fell for you. However, you don't have the chance now. Inner demon should be destroyed."
On Xiao Chen's hand, the Phoenix Holy Flame circulated and rushed into the stone mirror. Immediately, a wisp of black smoke rose. Xiao Chen, who was in the stone mirror, cried out miserably; his voice was incomparably mournful.
However, Xiao Chen was not moved.
Gradually, he disappeared and was obliterated by Xiao Chen.
Looking at the stone mirror again, the Xiao Chen inside was the real one. It was much more pleasing to the eye. Furthermore, the surface of the stone mirror was as flat as a mirror; it was as clear as day.
"Pa Pa Pa!"
There was the sound of applause from behind Xiao Chen.
Hearing that, Xiao Chen turned around.
The figure in the stone wall appeared once again. He looked at Xiao Chen with a smile in his eyes, "Not bad, not bad at all. At this critical moment, you managed to guard your own heart and turn back in time to sever your inner demons. You truly are worthy of being a Saints of our Dao Sect."
Xiao Chen smiled as he walked over.
"Senior, you are too kind. The Xiao Chen earlier almost caused a huge mistake by releasing his inner demons."
"But if you can hold on, that's good." The figure laughed, "From today onwards, the internal demon within your Dao Realm will be completely exterminated.
The reason why I let you grind rocks is actually to let you grind your own heart … "2
