Chapter 547: Master’s Enlightenment, My Heart is Like Heaven

Outside the City Lord's Mansion,

Qin Han said in a voice transmission: "Master, don't be angry, have you forgotten their purpose?"

"Their goal is to make money."

"Gold coins can buy a lot of things that were not available in the past, so for them, the more money the better."

"They set up this hiring process just to squeeze money out of the examinees' pockets."

"Just imagine, if the examinee fails the test and knows that he can hire someone, what will he do?"

"If they send people to the city to place some powerful people proficient in music, chess, swords and weapons, and charge them millions or even hundreds of millions of dollars, there will always be some people who are taken advantage of."

"Add to that the registration fee of 100 million gold coins, and they'll definitely make a killing."

"If you were the planner, and you had to pay 10,000 gold coins at a time or 100 million gold coins at a time, which would you choose?"

Zhuang Feizi's expression was stern. He transmitted a voice message: "Xiao Han, I have a mission for you. Get the treasure and destroy their conspiracy."

"They want to make money by hiring people, right? Well, our shelter has the most elite talents in the New Spirit World."

"I want to see what they can use to fight us!"

Qin Han transmitted the message: "Disciple obeys!"

Immediately,

He looked at the servant.

He smiled and said, "I want to sign up, 100 million gold coins!"

Upon hearing this, the servant quickly released the trading screen.

Just as he was about to pay, Qin Han casually said, "There's no requirement for the number of people you're hiring, right?"

The servant said, "Sir, no matter how many people you invite, only one person can fight against the level master at each level. There are no other requirements."

Qin Han: "That's settled."

With a loud swish, he transferred in 100 million gold coins.

The servant said: "Congratulations on passing the first test. Please follow me and we will go to the second test point."

The servant led the two into the city lord's mansion.

After passing through several corridors, we arrived at an artificial lake with a radius of about 300 meters.

There is a water pavilion at each end of the lake, extending to fifty meters, facing each other in the distance.

There is a guqin placed in each pavilion on both sides.

In the pavilion on the right, an old man with long hair hanging down to his shoulders and a serious face was sitting.

A pair of slender hands are plucking the strings.

The sound of the piano is desolate, as if expressing longing.

Look closely,

Two hundred meters in front of the old man, on the lake surface, he could vaguely see an almost transparent scene.

Look closely at the scene.

A woman stood by the river, looking out. The water flowed slowly, and occasionally transparent fish jumped out.

On the other side of the river, a thin young man faced forward, with only his back visible, carrying a long zither on his back, and walked slowly alone.

Qin Han: "What a brilliant piano power! There is no trace of Yin spirit power in it, but instead there is a faint sense of Taoism."

"The spiritual world is isolated from the heaven and earth, and all paths do not flourish. It is truly astonishing that such an artistic conception can be evolved in such a place without any path."

The servant said, "Sir, Master, this is the second level. Mr. Gu has been playing the zither here, and the sound of the zither lingers for a long time. The examinee only needs to use the zither on the left to force Mr. Gu's zither power back."

"Of course, you submitted a 100 million yuan, so you can find someone to replace you."

aside,

Ever since Zhuang Feizi came here, his eyes have been fixed on Mr. Gu who was playing the piano.

Qin Han: "Master, do you know him?"

Zhuang Feizi: "I know him. He's an elder of the Gongyin Sect."

"When he was young, he had a very high level of musical attainment, but he grew up in a remote village. Music was not an art, so he could not farm or take the imperial examinations. Naturally, he was not accepted by his clan."

"After the wedding, his wife, who was a sensible person, found money for him to travel and sent him out to learn art."

"Although he experienced many setbacks during this journey, he eventually embarked on the path of cultivation. When he achieved success and returned home in glory, the river had changed its course, the world had changed, and his hometown was no longer the same."

"He scooped up a cup of yellow earth from his wife's grave and left."

"This person eventually reached the level of a Lord God, and he was the strongest cultivator of his generation who had the best chance of reaching the level of a Supreme God."

"It's a pity that during the war outside the domain, the Gongyin Sect fought with all their might, leaving no one behind."

"After arriving in the spirit world, he searched for his wife's whereabouts, but still found no clues."

"Later, he came to the old spirit world alone and has not been heard from since."

Qin Han: "His wife is just an ordinary person. The probability of her waking up is less than one in a billion. I'm afraid she is already gone."

Zhuang Feizi: "How could he not know? He is just deceiving himself."

"Look at the power of his zither. This obsession has long been deeply rooted."

"That's fine too. Even if I become a spirit, I can still have a thought and live longer."

After saying this, Zhuang Feizi sighed.

"With his attainments in the art of the zither, no one in the entire spirit world can rival him. There is only one way to make him fail."

Qin Han: "Master, please speak."

"Disrupt his mind!!!"

Zhuang Feizi's words seemed to have a hidden meaning: "If you set up a trap and dig up his past,

"They say he's a bastard who betrayed his family, parents, and abandoned his wife and children. He's unfaithful, unrighteous, unkind, and unfilial."

"Then he continued to spread the fact that his wife had already died."

"You can also fabricate news from their hometown, saying how miserable his wife was and how she was bullied after he left."

"His wife, when she was old, was left outside like a wild dog to die."

"As soon as words like these are spoken, their voices will become disordered, their strength will be destroyed, and their hearts will be annihilated!"

Qin Han was shocked when he heard this.

For nothing else,

The master's words were exactly the same as those of the first person who broke the deadlock in the previous life.

After failing once, that person paid a heavy price to learn about Mr. Gu's past and took targeted action.

His Taoist heart was destroyed in one fell swoop.

From then on, Mr. Gu stopped playing the zither and his whereabouts are unknown.

Qin Han looked at Zhuang Feizi and said, "Master, no matter what, this person is still someone you know. To disrupt his path is like killing his parents. How dare you instigate me to do such a thing?"

"If this gets out, people will lose all confidence. Who will dare to stand with me in the future?"

"You are not digging our family's grave."

Zhuang Feizi's eyes flashed with admiration, and he continued to instigate, "With the sacred object in front of us, how can we accomplish anything without a cold-blooded character?"

"You must know that without ruthlessness, there is no real man!"

Qin Han smiled upon hearing this:

"If he were my enemy, I would definitely do whatever it takes to deal with him. No matter how hard I try, it wouldn't be too much."

"But in this situation, it's really not appropriate."

"It's hard to unite people, but easy to disperse them. If I really do this, I'm afraid everyone around me will become disunited tomorrow."

"Please don't use this to test me. I'm not that kind of person."

Hearing this,

Zhuang Feizi's eyes were filled with even more admiration.

But he still shook his head and said, "How can you pass without this trick?"

Qin Han: "That's easy. First, use the Spirit Sanctuary to lure him into rebellion. But looking at his conservative demeanor, I don't think this trick will work."

"But I can still use Senzu's probing skills to continue tempting him. Just say I can help him find a wife. He will definitely rebel."

Zhuang Feizi: "I'm afraid his wife is no longer in the spirit world. Isn't this a scam?"

Qin Han: "What you said, a one in a billion chance of survival, even if the probability is very low, isn't it still a small chance? How can this be considered a scam?"

After hearing this, Zhuang Feizi

Stroking his beard and smiling,

Immediately his eyes fixed,

He said very seriously, "If I ask you again, what if Sen Zu's trick doesn't work? What will you do?"

Qin Han was also startled when he saw his master's serious expression.

"Replying to Master, if Master Sen's trick doesn't work, then I'm prepared to risk the wrath of the world and seize the treasure!"

Zhuang Feizi: "You are very quick-witted, but let me ask you again, if all other tricks are useless and you can only succeed by destroying his Dao Heart, what then?"

Qin Han looked at Zhuang Feizi in surprise.

He didn't understand why his master forced him into this moral dilemma.

This problem is comparable to the trolley problem in my hometown.

Anyway, he must use abnormal means to kill a strong righteous man who is free from original sin.

Zhuang Feizi saw that Qin Han was hesitant.

Said: "You can also choose to give in and not take the treasure. I can understand that."

Qin Han shook his head upon hearing this. "A treasure like the holy relic is related to my disciple's future and destiny. Even if it only increases my chances of winning by a fraction, I must get it."

"Not only my own future is at stake, but there are also a lot of people standing behind me. How can I give in just because of Mr. Gu?"

As he spoke, his eyes fixed.

"Master, if there is no other way, let alone destroying his Dao heart, I will not hesitate to kill him."

Zhuang Feizi: "What will happen after you kill him? Will you regret it?"

Qin Han said firmly: "How could I regret it?"

Upon hearing this, Zhuang Feizi finally smiled.

"Okay, remember what you said."

Qin Han was a little puzzled. "Why did you guide me through so many things?"

"I really find it hard to understand."

"We're clearly about to have an assessment, but you're ignoring such a big issue and talking about all this vague stuff."

Zhuang Feizi stroked his beard and smiled.

He pointed in the direction of Mr. Gu,

Said: "What the master said is not a trivial matter."

"Look at this Mr. Gu. Although he is a genius, he has been tortured by the shackles of the past and has become what he is today."

“The so-called obsession arises from the heart and falls from the heart.”

"Meeting with hatred and separation with love will all become the root of obsession."

"Even if a good person manages to avoid these things, a single misjudgment can lead to disaster, leaving them trapped in self-blame for the rest of their lives, which can become an obsession and haunt them for the rest of their lives."

"If a mortal is too cautious, he will probably never encounter any trouble in his life."

"But it's different for cultivators. Millions of years pass by like the blink of an eye. If you live long enough, you'll encounter everything."

“There will always be something that makes you obsessed.”

"Obsessions are only in the mind. If you don't care about them, they are insignificant. If you care about them, they are like a flood."

"So, remember, no matter what mistakes you make, don't let them haunt you and trap you in a confinement."

"This matter concerns your future and destiny, and even more so the rise and fall of our sect. You must remain vigilant at all times!"

Hearing this,

Qin Han seemed to understand something.

He said slowly: "Obsession is only in the mind!"

"A bad guy killed someone, and he didn't care, so he had no obsession."

"A good person kills a bad person because he believes that the other person deserves to be killed. His thoughts are clear and he has no obsession."

"But if a good person accidentally kills a good person, and later blames himself, obsession will naturally arise."

"Obsessions can be mild or severe, urgent or slow. With mild ones, they're forgotten within a few months, buried deep within the heart. With severe ones, they're deeply ingrained, accompanying one throughout life and difficult to shake off."

"The human mind has three thousand thoughts in one second, which are always with us. A fleeting thought is a thought, while a deep-rooted one is an obsession."

“No matter what you do, it’s driven by thoughts.”

"If you're not careful, you'll end up in trouble."

“If you want to stop being stuck in thoughts, you need to brush them off from time to time. Only then can your thoughts flow freely and everything go smoothly.”

Think of this,

Qin Han bowed to Zhuang Feizi,

"Thank you for your enlightenment, Master! I have learned from you."

Zhuang Feizi stroked his beard and laughed.

"As long as you can understand, Master will be relieved."

Immediately,

He added, "Quick, the people from the Gongyin Sect also came with us into Liangjie City last time. Hurry and call out their Sect Leader Gong Shangyu."

Qin Han rolled out a talisman to summon the gods.

Next second,

A woman in white at the Spirit Emperor level appeared.

"Meet Senior Zhuang."

Zhuang Feizi pointed at Mr. Gu and said, "This is your family member. Go and take care of him."

Gong Shangyu glanced at him from the side and nodded immediately.

"My inferior disciple is actually here. Don't worry, Senior Zhuang. I will be back soon."

Qin Han watched Gong Shangyu leave.

Surprised, he said, "Master, didn't you say you had no other options?"

"Didn't you say that this Gu was unrivaled and invincible?"

Zhuang Feizi: "Well, isn't that an opportunity to teach you a lesson?"

"Gong Shangyu is a super genius who has truly reached the supreme god level through music."

"Gu, a guy who hasn't even reached the level of a Supreme God, how could he defeat his master?"

"It doesn't matter even if he has made progress in the old spiritual world over the years."

"Haven't you heard that if a disciple teaches his master to starve to death, the master will always hold back. Don't worry."

Qin Han: "You..."
