Chapter 748: 748
"The seven emotions and the six sensory pleasures?"
Xu Que was surprised by Zixia Fairy's words .
He knew something about the seven emotions and the six sensory pleasures, which were worldly desires of most people! For example, there were many explanations for the seven emotions, among which the most popular two versions were "greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, desire, and evil" and "happy, angry, depressed, thoughtful, sad, scared, and surprised" .
However, the first version was described in the Buddhist doctrine as "greed, anger, ignorance, agony caused by hatred, agony caused by parting, agony caused by unsatisfied desire, and agony caused by losing happiness and reputation" .
The explanation for the six sensory pleasures was quite clear, which were the desires or wishes of the "eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, and mind", i . e . , the "color, sound, smell, taste, lust, and truth" .
Everyone was more or less caught up by the seven emotions and the six sensory pleasures . One who had been isolated from these worldly desires could not be deemed a human being . When Zixia Fairy said it was a spell related to the seven emotions and the six sensory pleasures, Xu Que figured out the meaning of it immediately .
According to the things that people experienced, they were receiving a test of the seven emotions and the six sensory pleasures apparently .
"I didn't expect such a miraculous spell could exist in this world! Everyone in this world has indulged in 'greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, desire, evil, color, sound, smell, taste, lust, and truth' . I'm afraid nobody could pass this test!" Zixia Fairy said seriously, shaking her head .
"It is not necessarily as you have said . All spells have Life Gate and Death Gate . Those who are isolated from the seven emotions and the six sensory pleasures strive for nothing, so they won't come to this place . Therefore, I think there must be a way to break this spell . First, we have to locate the Life Gate of this spell!" Xu Que said as he fixed his eyes on the ground . However, he was skillful enough to find enough information from the spell formation on the ground!
"Look! Something is happening to those two fellow apprentices!" The cultivators on the wall screamed in surprise . Hearing that, Xu Que and Zixia Fairy turned their eyes to the image on the ceiling . Among the cultivators who had entered earlier, only a man and a woman who were turned into a prince and a princess were left at this time .
The combat had finished . The man had won by killing his fellow apprentices . Finally, he could be with his junior sister apprentice! However, when he returned with drums beating and banners flying and tried to marry the Princess of a large country with numerous lavish gifts, someone told him the wedding ceremony had been cancelled .
The Emperor had betrothed his only daughter to the Crown Prince of another country . That Crown Prince was tall, majestic, and handsome, and he cast the other Prince into the shade immediately . The Princess accepted her father's arrangement and agreed to marry the Crown Prince .
"No, no! Your highness, you said you would remain a devoted couple with me to the end of our lives, right?" The Prince was in a daze and sat on the ground in despair . The Princess frowned and scolded immediately, "Mind your words! I've never said those words!"
"You… . " The Prince changed his expression abruptly . It seemed he remembered how other princes used to say that the Princess had expressed her love to them .
"What a bitchy woman you are!" The Prince was annoyed and roared angrily at last . The entire hall was in an uproar . Many people had weird expressions, including the Emperor, who was annoyed . He ordered the guards to drive the Prince away . However, the Prince had lost his mind . He rushed to the Princess and snapped her neck . Then he was killed by the blades of the guards . The image ended there .
In the secret room, the two apprentices had fallen to the ground, their bodies sinking . This scene quieted everyone in this area, including Xu Que . In front of them, the fellow apprentices, who had grown up together, walked into the secret room confidently . However, none of them expected they would end up like this .
"What happened to them during the years which were not shown in the image? How could they forget their relationship in such a short time?" Xu Que couldn't help but ask with puzzlement .
Zixia Fairy shook her head, "I'm afraid this is the extraordinary point of this spell, which can erase people's memory gradually . Anyone who enters this spell will be caught up in it and believe the world in this spell is true!"
Xu Que was surprised, "If so, how could we break this spell? We have no chance to locate the Life Gate of it!"
Zixia Fairy looked at Xu Que and said nothing . She regretted bringing Xu Que here! Because the current situation had gotten out of her control and dropped her a dilemma! She didn't worry about her own safety . If she died here, she would only lose a Taoist Body, and her real body would be driven out at most . But if Xu Que died here, he would really lose his life .
"No, I don't want to stay here any longer . We've been here for several months . In this way, we will die sooner or later!" Someone who was at the entrance of a passage on the wall opposite to them shouted at this time .
His companions agreed . "Right! We would rather try our luck than be stranded here!"
"Have you noticed that they headed for one position after entering that room . That's why they started to kill each other . We can choose the opposite way!"
"Oh?"
