Traveling through time as a goblin, just wanting to live a leisurely life

Master Zhengguang was the first person to generate a demon in his heart sea. At that time, he took the initiative to meditate in the heart sea, which was different from the magician and others who fell into the water because of loss of control. Therefore, he was very clear about the details of the formation of the demon, and could even carefully grasp every emotion that generated the demon.

Afterwards, he became the first immortal to reach the Island of Desire. He understood the relationship between emotions and inner demons, inner demons and the host, and inner demons and the sea of ​​​​heart better than Yigan.

Generally speaking, the stronger the inner demon, the weaker the host. Eventually, the inner demon will turn against the host, swallowing up the host's consciousness and occupying the body. This is a rule that everyone knows.

However, in some practices specifically for cultivating the mind, this rule does not apply.

Master Zhengguang's Buddhist practice has several different ways to deal with the relationship between the host and the inner demon.

Some monks subdue inner demons with the ability to subdue dragons and tigers. Some monks eliminate inner demons instantly with a sudden enlightenment. The relationship between Master Zhengguang and his inner demons is more like cause and effect.

The emotions and unresolved knots that have appeared in the past are the causes, and the current inner demons are the results.

The previous practice and meditation were the cause, and today being able to maintain a calm state of mind to face the inner demons is the result of Master Zhengguang.

Cause and effect is about the connection between everything, and it cannot be resolved by simply suppressing or eliminating it. Just like Yi Gan was able to bring out the vanity in Master Zhengguang's heart with a handful of heart dust, suppressing and eliminating it will only create new causes and effects, but will not eliminate the current results.

In the words of Master Zhengguang, he can only "resolve cause and effect."

Only by completely letting go of the knots in the past can you not be entangled in the sadness of the present.

Only by completely letting go of past obsessions can we break free from the constraints of the present.

Therefore, Master Zhengguang's training of the inner demon is to gradually let go of the inner demon and give the inner demon a way to escape from itself and free itself from the constraints of the host.

One day, the strength or weakness of the inner demon no longer affects his state of mind, as if it were a small stone appearing beside him, or it had become a completely different person. Then Master Zhengguang has completed his retreat, overcome the calamity of his inner demon, and achieved perfection in merit.

At this moment, it was the last key before the inner demon escaped from Master Zhengguang. There was only a trace of connection between the inner demon and the host, and the inner demon's strength was almost no longer restricted by the host. At the same time, the contradiction between the two was also the greatest.

The easiest and most direct relationship between two people with completely opposite personalities is hostility.

Only when one party completely crushes the other and no longer takes the other party seriously can they completely let go of the relationship.

All the immortals present at the scene did not understand this relationship. They only knew that Master Zhengguang and his inner demon were about to fight!

From running away in panic at the beginning, they turned into eating melons on the spot. In front of Master Zhengguang's Buddha light, everyone sat back in their original seats, opened their own protective shields, and ate the food that had just been served while watching.

After all, Master Zhengguang was only at the Star Realm. Even if he completed his Heart Demon training and advanced to the Moon Realm, that was only after he defeated his Heart Demon. Now, it was just a duel between two peak Star Realms, and each immortal's own defensive means could resist one or two.

The inner demon in the sea glared at Master Zhengguang fiercely, extremely dissatisfied that he had blocked his tsunami attack.

After the tide receded, the inner demon raised his finger to the sky, and a beam of black light pierced towards Master Zhengguang's Buddha's light like a sharp sword, causing a few ripples, and the Buddha's light was almost pierced.

"Amitabha!"

When Master Zhengguang chanted the Buddha's name, the Buddha's light began to change.

The originally hazy light instantly became solid, and the surface was as smooth as a mirror, and the black light shining on it was reflected back.

The inner demon changed its tactics again. It retracted the black light, condensed it into a fist, shouted loudly, jumped out of the sea of ​​​​heart, and rushed towards Master Zhengguang.

Boom!

The sound spread far away, shaking the surrounding area for several kilometers.

Master Zhengguang also clenched his fists, shouted loudly, and fought with the inner demon. The battlefield quickly moved from the seashore to the sky above the sea of ​​heart. The two of them punched wildly, and the sea surface was turbulent, but it became a cool breeze at the grilled fish stall. A group of guests ate and watched the boxing, enjoying themselves.

"I didn't expect Master Zhengguang's fighting ability to be so strong."

"The peak of the Star Realm, that's about right?"

"He is not practicing a combat technique."

"I'm more suspicious that if he kills his inner demon, he will never be able to break through the Moon Realm..."

With food to eat and battles to watch, the group of immortals soon started chatting together. Jiang Ligui also continued to cook busily. Although everyone was paying attention to the battle in the sky, they were also doing their own things at the same time.

This group of people who often eat Xinhai seafood have unknowingly become more stable in their mentality than before.

"Oh, is it on?"

At this time, Youyouzi came.

"Yes, Taoist priest, please analyze with us who is better in this battle. What will happen if Master Zhengguang kills his inner demon?"

Where there are people, there are rivers and lakes; where there are people drinking and eating, there are struggles. Throughout the year, the grilled fish stall is not completely calm, and conflicts between customers will occasionally occur.

Whenever there was a fight at the grilled fish stall, Youyouzi would show up no matter where he was. He seemed to like the fight very much, often watching and commenting on it. As time went by, other customers gathered around Youyouzi, and it was fun to listen to his live commentary.

"Master Zhengguang and the inner demon are equally powerful, but their temperaments are different. Master Zhengguang can be patient and chant Buddha's name and practice year after year, while the inner demon is impatient and violent, and cannot fight a long battle. Therefore, the inner demon's moves are not only open and close, but also aggressive and strong. At present, the inner demon's offensive is strong, and Master Zhengguang is mainly defensive. The initiative is in the hands of the inner demon."

You Youzi said as he picked up the delicacies on the table, not caring who they belonged to.

"So what this means is that Master Zhengguang will win as long as he can hold off the attacks of the inner demon for a while?"

someone asked.

"Haha, Master Zhengguang is not as simple as you think. Although he doesn't play tricks, it doesn't mean he doesn't have any tricks. He originally needed to use 50% of his strength to defend himself to ensure that he would not get hurt and reduce the risk. But now he has only used 30% of his strength. If he is not careful, he may be hit by the inner demon. The risk is very high."

"Ah? Why?"

"To fish. The inner demon has the opposite personality to the host. Since Master Zhengguang is upright, the inner demon must be sinister and cunning. If he can't win a battle, he will definitely run away first, and then use all kinds of insidious means to plot against Master Zhengguang. If Master Zhengguang doesn't let the other party see a little hope, how can he keep the inner demon's desire to fight him head-on?"

You Youzi said with a smile.
