Chapter 264 A sudden awakening
Li Wuxiang looked at them for a while and slowly backed away from the window.

Even now, the low buzzing sound in his ears has not disappeared.

He felt like something was still watching him.

He had dealt with foreign evils before, and although he was not familiar with them, he felt that he could distinguish whether this kind of attention was a "gaze" or a "glance" that looked down on the world.

He thinks it's the latter.

It was as if there were a pair of eyes that could see through everything in the world and were staring at all living beings. So all living beings bowed down, but he was the only one who remained standing.

Senior Sister Mei, Lou He, the swordsmen...all went crazy and obsessed!

If Jiang Jie really succeeded, no matter what method he used, he would not be able to think of any countermeasures. The saying "Ant trying to shake a tree" could not be more appropriate at this moment!
I can't stand anymore.

So he was stunned for a while, turned to look at Mei Qiulu, then looked at Lou He, frowned and said, "You... are you telling the truth?"

Mei Qiulu waved at him: "Come here and sit down."

Li Wuxiang walked over as he was told and sat down on the bed beside her.

"When practicing, you must keep your original mind and distinguish your original mind. For example, sometimes you fall into delusion and are confused by illusions. At this time, you must distinguish what is real and what is illusion." Mei Qiulu put her hand on his shoulder and said patiently, "You have good aptitude and your practice is going smoothly, so you have never fallen into delusion, nor have you distinguished between truth and illusion."

"Li Wuxiang, illusions are very real. When some people mention illusions, they always think of some incredible things. They think they can see clearly, but their minds are temporarily blinded and they can't see through it. It's like dreaming. After waking up, you feel that the things in the dream are ridiculous, but at the time you feel that they are reasonable, right?"

"But illusions are not like this. The reason why they are scary is that they are logical and reasonable, and there is no mistake in them. Only when you can distinguish between the real and the illusion, you will not be deceived. Just like what you are thinking now - the Emperor of Heaven did not exist before, but now suddenly everyone knows it. Are we crazy?"

"It's reasonable for you to think so. But it's this kind of reasonableness that is the hardest to break free from. This is the hardest part of the word 'false'. Calm down and think about it carefully. Is it that everyone in the world has gone crazy, or is it that you just can't figure it out for the time being? Is what you knew in the past really true?"

It's true, Li Wuxiang said in his heart.

But he couldn't stand now. He didn't want to ask himself to kneel down, but he felt that he could at least lower himself.

Senior Sister Mei said that Jiang Jie, the so-called Great Emperor of Heaven and Earth, had taken over the authority of Taiyi's True Spirit and was protecting the Sword Sect on behalf of Taiyi - this is probably what he wanted Senior Sister Mei, Lou He, and the swordsmen to think.

This seems to mean that it may really be able to help at tomorrow's Great Tribulation Mountain Alliance Meeting.

Li Wuxiang didn't know what the future would be like, nor did he know what its purpose was, but now... it seemed that he could only grasp this glimmer of hope and make plans after these people survived.

He nodded and said, "Okay, Senior Sister, I'll think about it carefully."

As soon as these words came out, the buzzing sound in his ears immediately weakened. At this moment, Li Wuxiang also felt that the pressure on his heart suddenly became lighter, and he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart - the Dutian Siming Emperor was indeed not staring at him.

But he still had to lower his body a little more, like a lurker hiding in the crowd.

So he told himself in his heart to try again to accept what Mei Qiulu had just said.

This world has the power of idealism, and it really exists. He had to deceive himself first, maybe then he could deceive Jiang Jie, and let that kind of gaze pass over him completely - it was possible. Everything he knew before might be false, and what he knew now was true. Yes, just like the mansion soldier in the coffin city who was thrown by the evil spirit.

At that time, he felt that he was himself and had experienced everything he had experienced. In fact, until now when he thinks about it, he has been fighting against that subconsciousness, just like a person who knows that he is a human, but in the mirror, he sees a pig. Which one is true, what he sees in front of him or what he thinks in his heart?

As soon as this thought came to his mind, Li Wuxiang felt that the buzzing sound in his ears became smaller and almost inaudible.

He completely relaxed, and felt the pressure in his heart completely disappear. A sense of ease and joy arose spontaneously.

I succeeded. He thought happily, I must have fooled... fooled...

Joy rushed over like a tide, drowning his emotions. In this emotion, it seemed that a small spark flashed for a moment, like a beacon fire in the dark night.

But this little spark of fire was too insignificant in the face of such a wave of joy. It only flickered once, giving a warning sign of disappearing like a meteor, and was completely swallowed up before Li Wuxiang had time to figure out what it was.

So Li Wuxiang let out a breath and raised his head.

so close!

Just as Senior Sister Mei said, illusions are not so easy to distinguish. I almost fell into delusion just now!
He used to use some crooked ways when practicing - cultivating Guangchanzi, gathering the power of will to make elixir. These things were certainly not his original intention, but were forced by the situation under chance and coincidence, but it seemed that it was precisely because of this that he always had some thoughts of quick success and instant benefits and self-deception.

Just now, I even thought that I should deceive myself first, and then deceive the Emperor Dutian Siming!
Now that his delusion was broken, he realized what Mei Qiulu meant when she said that she had figured everything out.

I had already fallen into delusion, not because I had never heard of the Great Emperor Du Tian Siming before, but because of my own heart.

What had been bothering him for a long time was the incident on Yulun Mountain - Jiang Jie emitted a sword light in the dark, making everyone think that he was a Yuanying cultivator. From that time on, he felt that the person who helped him was actually putting him in danger, and therefore felt that he had bad intentions.

Following this thought, I started to think about everything afterwards in another direction.

But now, after his mind became clear, he remembered leaving Jinshui and going to Ranshan Sect.

At that time, he was blocked by Xu Daosheng in a crack in the mountain wall and couldn't break out. How did he get out of the predicament?

Old Guo.

In that situation, he was lured by the sword sect's skills and asked to fall into a trap to help him, so that he could fight back and escape. How does what he did at that time compare to what Jiang Jie has done these days?
If Lao Guo had made a mistake at that time, he would have been dead. But from the Jade Wheel Mountain to here, if he had made a mistake, Jiang Jie would have been able to save his life... From the perspective of others, whose method could be described as "evil-minded"?
Only examining the right and wrong of others' hearts and minds and easily picking out your own is delusion. It is because of these... that his and Lou He's thoughts have become paranoid.

Li Wuxiang closed his eyes, thought for a while, and stood up.

"Sister, I've made up my mind. I still can't remember when you told me about this Siming Emperor, but I know he has been to the Sword Sect." He looked at Lou He, "Whether he is in the Sword Sect or not... Brother Lou is right, he has never harmed us. I was obsessed before, and I had a delusion, but now I see through it. But there is one thing... What should we do? What about the Tiangong Sect?"

"Not many people in the world know about this great emperor. Every time he appears in the world, he acts on behalf of the Taiyi True Spirit to save our sect from danger. The Tiangong Sect is nothing to worry about. The Siming Emperor will not ask them to stir up the earth fire. I guess, instead, he wants us to take the opportunity to use them to severely damage the Xuan Sect and then get the Star Chariot. Since that thing can kill Kong Xuan...if it falls into my hands by chance, even if I don't achieve Yang God, the people of the Xuan Sect will not be scary." Mei Qiulu smiled slightly, "Don't think too much, have a good rest tonight, and do what we agreed tomorrow."

Li Wuxiang realized that Senior Sister Mei’s current feeling should be the same as he felt a few days ago.

At that time, knowing that Mou Zhenyuan and Kong Xuan were coming at night, it seemed like a dead end. But when he saw Sister Mei's Yin Spirit escaping into the courtyard, although he didn't know whether she could get any benefit from a Yang Spirit and a Yuanying, he felt like a tired traveler who had been carrying a heavy burden on a rugged mountain road for a long time, and felt that the burden had been taken away, and the worries and troubles in his heart disappeared at once.

She originally believed in fate, and the methods of this Great Emperor of Fate were extremely magical. Now she and the swordsmen in the yard felt that the burden on their shoulders had been lifted off their shoulders.

Li Wuxiang was infected by her smile. His thoughts were like a gust of wind passing over the water. He knew that there were hidden worries and dangers under the water, but he didn't care at all.

This is what it feels like to be blessed by the Great Emperor. This is really great, he thought.

So at night, Li Wuxiang fell asleep peacefully. He no longer slept on the beam, but on the bed.

In the past few days, he stayed awake at night because there were many things that worried him and he had to see and hear them with his own eyes.

For example, whether the ordinary disciples of the Thirty-Six Sects heard or saw anything near the Great Tribulation Mountain at night, how to deploy defenses on the mountain on the day of the alliance meeting, and whether the monks organized into teams would do something bad at a critical moment because of past grudges among the sects.

There are hundreds of cultivators in the catastrophe. These days, he has asked as many people as possible about the situations of cultivators above the Jindan level so that he can have a better idea of ​​the situation.

Tonight, he could still hear Mei Qiulu talking in the courtyard in his dream. She must be asking about the situation near Dajie Mountain and making assignments, just like he did before. But he didn't want to think about it at all, and he didn't want to care about these things at all.

He didn't even want to go to Lingshan to ask about the Ninth Young Master Xingcha - as Senior Sister Mei said, with the Emperor's blessing and she would be the Yang God tomorrow, what was there to be afraid of?

When I woke up in the morning, the weather was very good, a sunny day with a clear blue sky.

Li Wuxiang walked to the door and found a few new strands of grass growing out of the cracks in the stone steps. This grass is very common, with slender leaves, slightly yellowish at the top, dark green in the middle, and light green at the bottom. But today, when Li Wuxiang saw this grass, he thought it was very cute, with a sense of vitality that he had never noticed before.

His eyes lingered on the grass for a moment, then he noticed the stone steps again.

The stone steps were made of large bluestones, which had been worn smooth over the years. Mei Qiulu liked cleanliness, so the disciples of the Tianjian Sect swept the steps every day, and the steps were washed to their original color. The rounded corners shone in the sun, and it looked as if the edges were transparent.

Li Wuxiang stared at the stairs for a while, took a deep breath, and then looked at the yard.

It was originally half destroyed by Mou Zhenyuan, but it was newly repaired these days. The stone bricks are square and look solid. The wooden doors and windows are painted with varnish and look clean. Looking across the stone floor in the yard, you can see an anthill in the gap between the stone bricks. Gray-brown soft soil is piled up next to it, and black ants the size of sesame seeds are going in and out, dragging in the leftover mutton from yesterday.

At this moment, Li Wuxiang realized that this world was actually very interesting. There were actually many beautiful things in this world that were worth appreciating and experiencing. It was just that his body and mind had been occupied by anxiety and fear, so he turned a blind eye to these wonders.

Just before today, I had scoffed at the beliefs of people in this world, and even felt that people like Senior Sister Mei were inevitably influenced by the beliefs in gods in this world, and that some aspects of their beliefs were unreasonable.

But now he understands.

People don't have to live as hard as they used to. Being protected by a powerful god from above can save you from so many worries and troubles. You give up something, but it seems that you gain more. If this is the feeling of faith, if this is the power of the Great Emperor of Heaven, then why not worship him devoutly?
Li Wuxiang couldn't help but take out the life and death order.

When he saw the six characters "Dutian Siming Dadi" on the token yesterday, he felt a chill in his heart and was extremely frightened. But now when he thought of the scene at that time, he just felt ridiculous - he looked at the token, closed it in his palm, and felt that he couldn't help but want to hold it and worship it.

At this time, he heard footsteps behind him. Mei Qiulu also came out and stopped beside him.

Li Wuxiang took a look and found that she was dressed quite formally today - she usually dressed like an ordinary village woman, but today she carefully combed her hair into a bun, wore a crown and a hairpin, and wore a dark purple cloak embroidered with seven-star patterns. She looked majestic and dignified, with the style of a religious leader.

She looked at Li Wuxiang's palm and smiled: "What's wrong, are you thinking about how to invite the real spirit today?"

Li Wuxiang shook his head: "There is nothing to worry about. Sister, didn't you say that I can use this token to pray to the Emperor Siming today? He can also use the East Emperor Seal. I just... I feel that everything is beautiful today."

He was silent for a moment, then couldn't help but smile: "It was so beautiful that I forgot there were still people from the True Form Sect surrounding us at the foot of the mountain."

Mei Qiulu nodded: "There are more people at the foot of the mountain, and there is also a Hedao. I guess it may be the Dongyue Altar Master of the Zhenxing Sect. But you really don't need to worry. They had no intention of coming up last night. They reported in the morning that they are only setting up formations and gathering monks. If we fail to invite them down, they will attack, but if you invite the Siming Emperor down, they can only wait."

Li Wuxiang nodded. Mei Qiulu looked at him again and said, "You are not worried about anything now, and you are not afraid of anything?"

"That's it."

"It's always like this at the beginning. This is called grace and protection. The original body of Emperor Taiyi was suppressed, and our Sword Sect has not had the protection of spiritual gods for many years. When I first learned about Emperor Dutian Siming, I was just like you. I didn't believe it at first, but later I believed it after seeing the emperor's divine manifestation. I have done and thought about almost everything you said yesterday and suspected."

Mei Qiulu raised her hand and patted him on the shoulder: "But you have to be more careful. Some disciples of our sect were very motivated before the Great Emperor was born, but after knowing that there was this Great Emperor besides Taiyi, they relaxed - you can understand, right? Their practice was hindered, and they even gave up their sword heart and Tao heart. This world is beautiful, but you can only take a little bit -"

When she got to this point, she seemed to feel that her tone was too heavy, so she blinked and smiled, stretched out her thumb and index finger and pinched them: "For example, I have become an infant, why do I still like snacks? This is how I let myself experience the beauty of this world. I only allow myself a little bit, a little bit of sweetness, to remind myself why I practice cultivation."

Li Wuxiang was stunned for a moment, thought about it, and sighed: "I don't think I have anything I particularly like. I used to like to eat some delicious food, but now it doesn't taste good."

"Take your time to look for it, you will find it." Mei Qiulu patted him on the shoulder again, "Let's go, wake up everyone who is asleep, and go to the top of the mountain first. You were once an emperor in the stove of Jinshui, and today you are going to ascend the throne for the second time."
