Chapter 229: Heart Demon Breaks Love (Part )

Last time, we talked about how Li Yi locked his inner demon in the orb of the Dharma Crown of Acala. So what kind of trouble will this inner demon bring to Li Yi? Let’s read on.

Li Yi was on the spiritual platform, chanting the "Heart Purification Mantra". Layers of blue halos emanated from his body and were applied to the magic beads.

Li Yi could hear the inner demon's words: "This can only imprison me temporarily. As long as you are trapped by love, I can come out! To be honest, women are just toys under your crotch, right? Why waste time and energy on them and give me so many opportunities?"

Li Yi shook his head and smiled, "This is called sentiment, you don't understand! Oh! I see, you are planning to take my spirit? Well, you are worthy of being my inner demon, knowing that my old Li has poor control in this aspect, you found the breakthrough point accurately. However, as long as I don't indulge in lust, you can't take advantage of me, right?"

"Humph, can you control it? Is it fun to lie to yourself?"

Li Yi nodded and said, "That's right, let's wait and see!"

"Hey! What did you do? Why is it so dark? Who turned off the lights?!"

Li Yi laughed and said, "You made me unconscious for a day and almost made me miss something important. I'll lock you up in a small dark room for a few days as punishment!"

"Hmph, let's see how long you can hold on! Next time I come out, I will definitely take away your spirit!" Li Yi's consciousness returned to reality.

Zhang Hongchen asked: "How is it?"

"Alas, what else can I do? It's troublesome! He wants to take my spirit." Li Yi looked at Zhang Hongchen and asked, "Do you think it's because it's easy to take my spirit, or because my spirit is the strongest?"

Zhang Hongchen replied: "I guess it's both. The seven souls are the manifestation of the heavenly soul, and they are also the weakness of the heavenly soul. Taking away the seven souls means taking away the heavenly soul. The so-called inner demon is actually the emotions and desires that we have deliberately suppressed for a long time. They come from the human soul. The inner demon and the main body share the two souls of the earth and the human. If he takes away four of the seven souls, then you will fall into the devil."

Li Yi was puzzled: "It's not that I have ever suppressed any desires. What's wrong with me? I feel like I'm just short of burning, killing, robbing, raping and pillaging!"

Zhang Hongchen waved his hand and said, "What you are suppressing is not desire but emotion. What you are suppressing is the fear in your heart."

"Fear? Are you kidding me? I was afraid of death before. You said I was afraid, and I admit it. Now I have seen Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Even if I die, I can report to the Bodhisattva! Now I am not afraid of death, so what else can I be afraid of?"

Zhang Hongchen shook his head and smiled: "There are many kinds of fear, fear of death is just one kind. If I'm not mistaken, you are afraid of promises!"

"Promise? I'm afraid of promises? Although I'm not a good person, I'm still good at keeping my word! How could I be afraid of promises!"

Zhang Hongchen shook his head and said, "Li Yi, haven't you noticed? You feel most relaxed when you are with me, your sister. You can show your sloppy, lazy, and even rogue side to your heart's content."

Li Yi nodded and said, "Yes, that's because I have something else to tie you up with! I don't have to worry about you running away!"

"Wrong, you are like this because you know I don't need any commitment from you, and there is no emotional connection between us, so you treat me completely differently from other women."

"Hey, hey, hey, what you said is not right! I did make a promise to you, okay? For example, I will settle the score with Haldir!"

"That's just a favor, not a promise! If you don't believe me, then you have to promise to take me back to Wei. I don't want any status, I just want to live in your house and come to you anytime if I need anything."

"That won't do! Absolutely not! If Shiyu finds out, she'll have to chop me to pieces!"

"What about the other women you provoked in Liang State? Su Xiao, Xiao Ruoping, and the dead Xia Houying..."

When mentioning Xia Houying, Li Yi's heart skipped a beat, and it immediately showed on his face. Zhang Hongchen smiled and said, "It seems that the problem lies with Xia Houying! Did you go to see Yu Jinyao last night? You must be afraid that what happened to Xia Houying will happen to her! So your inner demon can seize that fear and take the opportunity to steal her soul.

Li Yi, you still don't want to admit it? You are actually a selfish little person. Not only are you afraid of making promises, you are also afraid of trouble, dirt, and tiredness! The most ridiculous thing is that you are afraid of spiders! "

"Fuck, stop, stop, stop, I didn't realize you know me so well."

"Nonsense, because you don't hide anything in front of your sister, so I can naturally see the real you."

"If I can overcome these problems, can I defeat my inner demons?"

"No! Because the inner demon has already been born. If it was before, it could be delayed or weakened. Now the inner demon will only magnify your fear and make it impossible for you to overcome it."

"Nonsense! I'll overcome it and show you right now!" Li Yi stood up and walked out.

"Where are you going?"

"Find Yu Jinyao and give me my promise! I want to prove it to you!"

So Li Yi came to Jin Yao's courtyard. Xiao He, who opened the door, asked in surprise, "Master Li? What are you doing here?"

Li Yi bowed and said, "I came here specially to thank you, young lady."

"Oh, Miss, it's Taoist Priest Li. He's here to thank you."

Yu Jinyao heard that it was Li Yi who hurried out. Seeing that Li Yi looked OK, she felt relieved. She said to Xiao He, "Xiao He, go ask the kitchen staff if dinner is ready. If there is no lotus seed soup that I like, watch them make one for me. It wasn't sweet enough last time, so watch them carefully this time."

"Oh, okay."

After sending Xiao He away, Jin Yao asked with concern, "You scared me to death last night. What happened?"

"It's nothing, I just have some sudden heart palpitations. I guess I'm tired from the past two days."

"Tired? Palpitations? If you're afraid that I'll worry, then don't lie to me. You clearly fell down with your hands covering your head!"

Li Yi said awkwardly: "Well, anyway, I'm fine now. I came to you to finish what I didn't finish saying last night. You asked me if I would marry you."

At this point, Li Yi felt the image of Acalanatha on the spiritual platform tremble, and the pearl on the crown emitted black air. He heard Xiahou Ying's voice again: "You want to marry her? Aren't you afraid that she will be like me? You knew me and got King Yu's ruler, and you knew her and got Hou Yi's spiritual feather arrow. It seems that her fate should be the same as mine, and she will die soon!"

Li Yi on the spiritual platform had already arrived in front of the orb. He looked at the black air rolling inside the orb, covered his head and said, "Shut up! I will protect Jin Yao. I have the strength to do that now!"

"Hehe, you are strong enough, but if I come out to disrupt you during the battle, are you still confident? For example, that thousand-year-old fox demon is good at using charm. If you are bewitched by her, and I take the opportunity to steal your soul, do you still have a chance of winning?"

"What good will it do you if I die?"

"Of course there will be no benefit if you die, but if I succeed in taking the soul, there will be many benefits! If it were you, would you take a gamble?"

"I won't give you a chance!" Li Yi put his hands together and chanted the Six-Syllable Mantra. The lotus seal under his feet lit up and spun rapidly. As he pointed his finger at the orb, the Sanskrit of the Six-Syllable Mantra appeared around it and slowly merged into it, stopping the trembling of the orb.

"What's wrong with you? Hello? Don't scare me!"

Jin Yao's waving hands gradually became clearer in front of him, and Li Yi, who was sweating coldly, came back to his senses. He held Jin Yao's hands and said seriously: "I won't let anything happen to you! Never!"

"What are you talking about? Didn't you just say you wanted to marry me?"

Ding... Li Yi's ears suddenly tinnitus, he couldn't hear what Jin Yao said, he could only look at her lips and try to read her lips. Li Yi held Jin Yao's hand and said: "Fox demon, the fox demon is not dead yet! I must kill it!"

Jin Yao was surprised and asked, "You said that fox demon is not dead?"

Li Yi took a deep breath, calmed himself down, and then said, "That's right, the one I killed last time was a substitute. The real fox demon is still alive. It's a nine-tailed demon fox with a thousand years of cultivation. As long as it's still here, you'll be in danger. I won't feel at ease unless I kill it!"

"So how are you going to kill it?"

"Speaking of this, you really have to help me, otherwise I'm afraid I won't be able to lure it out!" Then Li Yi told Jin Yao about his plan...

At the same time, in a cave somewhere in Kuaiji Mountain, a ball of black gas slowly condensed on a small grass snake, and soon the small grass snake turned into a pitch-black big snake! A white nine-tailed fox said something to the big black snake. Suddenly, the big black snake attacked and directly entangled the little fox. The little fox did not dare to resist, and the big snake spit out its snake tongue at it, as if it was telling the little fox something, and the little fox nodded repeatedly.

After the two communicated, the big black snake let go of the little fox, the black gas dissipated, and the body gradually became smaller, and finally turned back into a small grass snake. At this time, the little fox suddenly attacked, bit off the little grass snake in one bite, and then ate it as a spicy strip. The little fox walked out of the cave and looked in the direction of Kuaiji City, with a sad face. This white nine-tailed fox is the fox demon who killed Liu and impersonated her.

At this time, Li Yi had already returned to Zhang Hongchen's room, and the latter said contemptuously: "How is it? Prove that you are wrong?"

Li Yi did not answer, but only asked: "Will you evil cultivators not encounter the problem of inner demons taking away your souls?"

Zhang Hongchen smiled and said, "Of course not. The so-called distinction between good and evil is nothing more than a way of dealing with one's own desires. The righteous often choose to suppress desires. Buddhism observes precepts, Confucianism restrains oneself, and Taoism purifies the mind. And we generally choose to transform our greatest desires into motivation for practice, such as I transform the strongest desire for revenge into hatred..."

Li Yi interrupted: "Hey, why is your biggest desire revenge? Shouldn't it be to sleep with me..."

Zhang Hongchen stared at Li Yi, who stopped talking and gestured for him to continue. However, Zhang Hongchen, who had lost interest, looked at Li Yi with contempt and said, "You want to overcome your inner demons now. I have two ways. The first is to relieve your desires, and the second is to break up your relationship!"

Li Yi asked in confusion: "Relieve lust?"

"That's right, I don't mind you venting all your desires on my sister, what do you think?" Zhang Hongchen said as he reached out and lifted Li Yi's chin.

Li Yi pushed her hand away and said unhappily: "Come on! You are clearly trying to trick me! You want to trick me into bed, do you think I am a three-year-old child?"

"What about cutting off emotions? The seven souls correspond to the seven emotions. As long as you can cut off the seven emotions, you can be free from the troubles of the inner demons. Can you do it?"

"Tianzong Taishang Wangqing? Hiss, no! What's the point of living like that? It's better to just die!"

Zhang Hongchen said, "You want to overcome your inner demons but don't want to cut off your lust. There are not so many good things in this world! Anyway, I don't have any other way."

Li Yi pondered for a moment and said, "After this matter is over, I will take some time to go back to Qiyun Mountain and ask Master for advice. Before that, I can only try to control the seven emotions first."

"Can you control it?" Zhang Hongchen suddenly sat in Li Yi's arms, hugged his neck and chuckled, "You said yesterday that we would fight until dawn tonight!"

Li Yi's eyes turned and he said, "Okay! No problem! But you have to do me a favor first."

Zhang Hongchen said unhappily: "This is the previous salary! If you want my sister to help you again, it will be charged separately!"

"Okay! I'll pay you all the wages after I finish the work tonight!"

"keep your word?"

"It's natural!"

"Okay, then tell me, what do you want your sister to help you with this time?"

……

At night, Li Yi and Zhang Hongchen came to Jin Yao's courtyard. There were no guards or servants around tonight. This was naturally because Yu Feng had withdrawn according to the agreement. Li Yi knocked on the door, and Xiao He said unhappily: "Why don't you sleep at night and ask the young lady for help? I really don't know what you are doing!"
