"Come, sit." Bai Wuya made a "please" gesture to Xiang Nan and sat down cross-legged first.
Xiang Nan lifted his robe and waved it back, making it easier for Bai Wuya to sit opposite him.
Bai Wuya waved his hand, and a wooden table appeared between the two of them. He waved his hand again, and a teapot and three teacups appeared on the wooden table.
Bai Wuya filled his first cup with tea and said, "What is a Dao Heart? What does a Dao Heart mean to a martial artist?"
"What are you abandoning, what are you unable to let go, what are you persisting in, what are you unable to see through?"
"The path of martial dao is full of tribulations. Will you be able to walk to the end without fear of hardships and dangers?"
"The path of martial dao is so tempting. Can you be consistent and not forget your heart?"
"Please." Bai Wuya handed the first cup of tea to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan respectfully took the teacup with both hands and drank all the tea in one gulp.
In that instant, Xiang Nan suddenly felt the sky spin, and then he discovered that he had appeared in a wilderness.
Xiang Nan no longer knew who he was. He no longer had any memories, nor did he know his own situation.
He only saw two paths ahead of him.
At this moment, a voice sounded.
"There are two paths ahead. The path on the right leads to the martial path. You only need to walk to the end to find your martial heart. Can you hold on?"
"The path on the left leads to mediocrity. If you don't have confidence in your martial arts, go to the left and let go of your martial arts heart."
Xiang Nan's eyes suddenly became firm as he thought to himself, "This isn't easy. I just need to ignore it and grind my teeth and walk on the right path. No matter what happens, I will never look back."
The voice suddenly remembered, "You can still turn back on the right path, but once you step on the left path, you will never have a chance to turn back again."
Xiang Nan nodded and headed straight for the right path. In a trance, he could feel that as long as he reached the end of the right path, he would be able to find what he wanted.
But when he reached the fork in the road, a baby crying in its infancy suddenly appeared on the left side of the road.
Xiang Nan frowned. He looked at the baby and found that there was no one around. If he didn't care about him, the baby would definitely not survive the cold night.
He gritted his teeth and stepped onto the right path without hesitation, continuing forward.
He knew that he was getting closer and closer to what he wanted, but the sound of the baby crying behind him was getting weaker and weaker.
At this point, Xiang Nan finally couldn't stand the condemnation of his conscience. He returned and came to a fork in the road.
"If we go this way, there will be no turning back. But if I don't go, the baby will die of cold and hunger."
He made a difficult decision and looked at the left and right paths. On the right was the glory he wanted, and on the left was the torture of conscience that he couldn't help but face.
Finally, Xiang Nan sighed and said, "I can't do it. I'm sorry …"
With that, he stepped onto the left side of the road and held the infant in his arms. However, when he looked back, the right side of the road had already disappeared.
Suddenly, Xiang Nan woke up. He remembered who he was. Across from him, Bai Wuya was still sitting there with a smile on his face.
"Sigh" Xiang Nan woke up as if he had just woken up from a dream. It turned out that the scene he had just experienced was a test given to him by Bai Wuya.
Bai Wuya smiled and said, "No problem, you have three chances."
"Please." Bai Wuya filled the second cup of tea and handed it to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan was ruthless this time. No matter what happened again, he had to endure the test!
He took the teacup with both hands and drank it all in one gulp.
He was in a daze and found himself standing on a mountain road. He knew nothing about who he was and why he was here, whether he went up the mountain or down the mountain.
A voice suddenly appeared.
"There is your martial arts on the mountain. You only need to step on the mountain peak to find your persistent Dao Heart."
"Below the mountain is an ordinary world. You only need to take a step down and there will be no turning back."
Xiang Nan raised his head and looked at the top of the mountain. He saw that he was only a hundred meters away from the top of the mountain. This was a simple journey for him.
"I want to go up!" Xiang Nan's eyes were firm as he said, "There is a Dao that I am pursuing!"
He took the first step forward and discovered that he was one step closer to his Dao. He took the second step and felt that the Dao became even more intense.
At this moment, a series of painful groans came from the road below.
Xiang Nan turned around and saw an old man cutting wood lying on the way down the hill. The old man's beard was already gray, but now he was being bitten by a wolf on his left leg.
The old man let out a weak scream and stretched out his right hand towards Xiang Nan, hoping that Xiang Nan could save him.
Xiang Nan raised his head to look at the path up the mountain, then lowered his head to look at the path down the mountain.
He still decided to walk up. This time, no matter what happened, he would not waver.
However, at this moment, the more he walked up, the stronger his Dao Heart became. At the same time, he also felt very painful in his heart.
He carried an unforgivable sense of duty, which was questioning his conscience.
The path of martial dao is full of tribulations, and there are always some choices. Sometimes, only by abandoning some things can one obtain a shortcut to the peak of martial dao.
"Could it be that this is what I want to give up? Could it be that I want something that I want to exchange for at such a price?"
Xiang Nan shook his head fiercely and said, "I can't do it! I want to reach the peak of martial arts, but I can't let my conscience down."
He gritted his teeth and quickly walked down the mountain. He chased away the wild wolf and carried the old man down the mountain without hesitation.
Hu
Xiang Nan took a deep breath and woke up.
In front of him was still the laughing Bai Wuya.
Facing the two empty teacups on the table, Xiang Nan smiled self-deprecatingly and could only let out a long sigh.
Bai Wuya smiled and said, "No problem, you still have one last chance."
"Please."
Bai Wuya filled the third cup with tea and handed it to Xiang Nan.
Xiang Nan took it with both hands and was about to drink it.
At this moment, Dream butterfly suddenly cried out, "Xiang Nan! Don't be fooled by the illusions. Everything you've experienced is fake!"
"You must remember what you want. No matter what happens, just grind your teeth and make your choice!"
"How did you know that he had experienced an illusion?" Yuan Meng looked at Dream butterfly strangely.
Meng Die said, "Don't you understand that Senior Bai Wuya is using illusions to test Xiang Nan's Dao Heart? I don't know what happened to Xiang Nan, but it's obvious that he failed the first two times."
"Oh right, it's an illusion!" Yuan Meng also came to a sudden realization and shouted to Xiang Nan, "Brother, you don't need to remember anything. You just need to remember this sentence."
"It's an illusion! It's an illusion! Don't forget these words.
Xiang Nan nodded and raised his teacup with both hands, drinking all the tea in one gulp.
After his mind drifted for a moment, he discovered that he was standing on a mountain peak. Below the mountain was an endless sea of flames, and in the sky was a sky filled with multicolored light.
