"That's good. Being able to take this step means you can still be saved."
Qin Qi smiled and walked towards Zhuge Qing. When he reached the other party, he slapped him to the ground.
"Words cannot dispel the demons in your heart. Although I have a way to directly destroy your inner demons, it is useless.
"The inner demon is ultimately a part of you. I'm helping you get rid of it now, but it will regenerate in the future."
"No one else can help you. You have to figure it out on your own. All I can do is put some pressure on you."
"From today on, you will stay in the mountain temporarily, but don't get me wrong, you don't need to meditate to cultivate your mind, you just need to get beaten and go.
"When failure becomes a constant, you stop caring about it."
As soon as Qin Qi finished speaking, Zhuge Qing was knocked unconscious. When he woke up, he was slapped in the face by Qin Qi again.
One day, two days, three days, and it lasted for a week. Zhuge Qing woke up, was beaten, and then fell into a coma.
Wake up, get beaten, then pass out, and this goes on for 24 hours straight. The scariest thing is that Qin Qi's attacks are extremely measured!
Each slap was aimed at Zhuge Qing's face, and it would take three minutes for Zhuge Qing to faint.
This precise control allowed Zhuge Qing to clearly feel every failure he made and feel his own powerlessness!
On the eighth day, Zhuge Qing couldn't help himself. After Qin Qi knocked him down with a slap, he asked:
"When will this end? When will this kind of life end?"
"I don't know. It might end when you figure it out."
Qin Qi did not waver at all. These days seemed like just a blink of an eye to him. He repeated this action over and over again without any boredom.
It looked like he was really going to keep going like this forever!
On the tenth day.
"I won't break my inner demons anymore, please let me go, let me go back, I want to go home!"
"Please, let me go. I don't want to be an alien anymore. I just want to go home and have a good rest. Please!"
Zhuge Qing couldn't stand it any longer. He started begging for mercy and even wanted to escape. But in front of Qin Qi, he didn't even have a chance to escape!
Qin Qi is still the same as before, repeating the same actions, endlessly, never stopping!
On the fifteenth day.
"Kill me, kill me! Wuuuuu."31 Zhuge Qing couldn't help crying, and then he watched Qin Qi take pictures of him being beaten and crying with his mobile phone.
"Your brother added me as a friend before and asked me to send him a message. He really cares about you."
Qin Qi immediately sent the video to Zhuge Xiaobai, and then Zhuge Xiaobai showed the video to Zhuge Meng and the others while crying.
"Wow, my brother is in such a miserable state. I can't take it anymore. I want to go and stay with him. Don't stop me. I'm not going to school anymore. I want to go find my brother!"
Zhuge Xiaobai didn't even go to school. He bought a ticket and hurried to Baiyun Temple. It was the first time for this little guy to go out alone.
I cried out of fear more than ten times along the way, but even so, I still persevered and made it to Baiyun Temple!
On the sixteenth day, Zhuge Xiaobai arrived.
"Brother, come on! I believe you can defeat your inner demons. Until then, I will always be with you!"
Zhuge Xiaobai cried while watching Zhuge Qing being beaten, and at the same time cheered him on. Hey, although this kid is a little gossipy, he is indeed a good brother.
"Bai...I really can't stand it anymore, kill me, kill me!"
Zhuge Qing was even more devastated at this moment. If the torture before was physical, now it was the torture of body, mind, and self-esteem!
On the seventeenth day.
"Qing'er, we're here to see you."
"Oh my god, I thought the video Xiaobai sent me was a bit too exaggerated, but I didn't expect you to actually be hung up and beaten."
"Qing'er, I'm not trying to make fun of you, but I really couldn't help it."
Zhuge Meng, Zhuge Sheng, and Zhuge Guan also bought tickets to visit Zhuge Qing. The three of them looked at Zhuge Qing, who looked miserable but had no real injuries.
One of them couldn't help laughing, and the remaining two couldn't help laughing too. They really didn't mean to do it, they just couldn't help it.
"Get out! All three of you, get out!"
Zhuge Qing had gone through the process of persevering, collapsing, and now he was furious: "Just wait, don't let me handle this. When I do, I'll beat you three up every day!"
"No, I'll beat you up three times a day! Wait, and Qin Qi, you b*****d, just wait! Don't give me a chance, or I'll get revenge sooner or later!"
The fear in Zhuge Qing's heart has gradually begun to be replaced by anger, but it is still useless, and he can only be beaten by Qin Qi.
On the twentieth day, Zhuge Qing's parents, Zhuge Gong and his wife arrived.
"Qing'er, forget it, let's give up. Taoist Qin Qi, we've given up. It doesn't matter if we can't get through."
"It's enough to live a good life. Your family doesn't have to make you a perfect person."
Zhuge Gong looked at Zhuge Qing, whose hair was unwashed, body was dirty, and eyes were red. His handsome son had turned into a madman now.
He felt a little regretful that he had let Zhuge Qing come. If he couldn't win, then he couldn't win. His inner demons wouldn't affect his life.
"Qing'er, let's go home."
Zhuge Qing's mother couldn't help crying when she saw this scene. She stepped forward and hugged Zhuge Qing and spoke.
"Well, fine. If he wants to leave, then he can leave. If he doesn't want to, then he can stay and continue. The decision is his."
"But we agreed that after this, we're done. There won't be a third chance."
Qin Qi gave Zhuge Qing one chance in the past, but he didn't seize it. This is the second time. If he still fails to seize it this time, then it will have nothing to do with him.
It would be the Zhuge family's own business if this person became useless in the future. He had done what he should have done and had done the favor of using the Seven Stars to blow up the classics.
"Dad, Mom, it's okay. You see, I'm fine even though I'm not completely intact. You don't have to worry about me."
"It's just a beating. As long as you can't kill me, then keep going. Don't think I look like a madman now."
"But I was even crazier a few days ago. So what? I managed to get through it. Sooner or later, I'll be able to overcome my inner demons."
Zhuge Qing had gone through a period of determination, madness, and anger, but now he didn't care anymore. You can hit me if you want.
I don't care what I look like anymore. As long as I'm still breathing, I will never give up. I'll fight you to the end!
After hearing what his son said, Zhuge Gong said nothing, just patted his son on the shoulder, and then went back with his wife.
On the twenty-fifth day, Zhuge Qing entered the inner scene, where his inner demon turned into another self.
"You loser, what do you want to do by coming here? You don't think you can beat me, do you?"
The inner demon Zhuge Qing said so.
Zhuge Qing sat there motionless.
"You can't beat me now, nor can you beat that b*****d outside, but what if you learn Fenghou Qimen?"
"You are a genius, you are a genius who has mastered the four plates of heaven, earth, man and god at such a young age, and learned Fenghou Qimen.
"With your talent, who can beat you? Not me, not that b*****d outside. You are the strongest."
Seeing that his provocation was useless, the inner demon began to seduce Zhuge Qing, mobilize the other party's desires, and arouse the other party's mentality of taking chances.
But Zhuge Qing still did not move, and the two of them were in a stalemate for a long time.
"You don't think that if you ignore me, I won't exist, right? Is this the way you want to deal with me?"
"That's ridiculous, so cowardly. Whether you face me or not, I will exist. I will always be there."
"All your thoughts and all your filthiness are visible to me. You can't beat me. You are a loser."
Seeing that seduction was useless, the inner demon began to use other methods to provoke Zhuge Qing, hoping to provoke his anger!
But Zhuge Qing did not waver at all. He opened his eyes and looked at the inner demon in front of him which was exactly the same as his own.
"Do you really think you can beat Qin Qi? Do you really think you can defeat him by learning the Eight Wonders? Do you really think you are a genius?"
"If you think so, then I can only say that I am still too naive."
"Having mastered the four plates of Heaven, Earth, Man and God, the opponent is an existence that can control the world within itself!"
"The genius of the Zhuge family. If I am a genius, then the other party is a genius among geniuses. He is an absolute monster!"
"You should have seen the Eight Wonderful Techniques. The other party plays with them like toys. These techniques are just tricks of the weak.
"As for why I came here, you guessed it right. I just came here to hide. I couldn't stand the beating anymore, so I hid in here to rest for a while."
"As for defeating you, I'm not in the mood for that right now. I'll get beaten up again when I get out.
Zhuge Qing completely realized the reality. He no longer had any hope that he could defeat Qin Qi.
So no matter what his inner demon said, he didn't care. He just hid in here to rest for a while.
When he figured this out, a shadow appeared behind him. The shadow looked very similar to Qin Qi, but without a face.
The figure casually slapped out, and the inner demon was instantly shattered, without any chance of resistance.
On the 30th day, Zhuge Qing opened his eyes and was ready to receive Qin Qi's slap, but he found that he didn't get hit!
"Hey, you won't hit me today?"
Zhuge Qing looked at Qin Qi who was lying down to rest not far away. Suddenly he was no longer being beaten, and he felt like something was missing.
"No need. I've almost dealt with your inner demons. It's up to you to maintain it from now on."
"Actually, it was almost done on the 25th day. Well, I gave you a few more days to practice after that."
The first half of what Qin Qi said was true, but the second half was not. He simply played for a few more days because he was getting used to it.
As the saying goes, eat, sleep and fight Zhuge Qing, and suddenly one link is missing and something is not right.
"I'm fine? But the inner demon is still there? Is he still calling for help?"
Zhuge Qing re-entered his inner scene and found that his inner scene still could not calm down. It was still in turmoil and his inner demon was still roaring.
"I've already told you that inner demons are nothing more than your own thoughts. You're still thinking about getting rid of yourself."
"Okay, I'm going to take a nap. You can go down the mountain by yourself. Oh, and you can try practicing Samadhi True Fire again."
You should be able to succeed this time."
Qin Qi waved his hand and then drove Zhuge Qing away. He needed to have a good rest for the upcoming showdown with the old Taoist priest.
He still needs to continue to settle down and polish himself to become more complete and perfect!
Zhuge Qing was driven away like this. He held Zhuge Xiaobai's hand and walked down the mountain, his mind still full of doubts.
After returning to the Zhuge family, he told his parents about this matter, and then the whole family sat together in confusion.
That night, Zhuge Qing entered the inner scene again.
He practiced Samadhi True Fire again according to Qin Qi's instructions.
This time it was a smooth success.
"I see."
"I failed before because I cared too much, but after being beaten for so many days, I unconsciously stopped caring about it."
"Be it the inner demon, this earth-shaking inner scene, or the Samadhi True Fire, I no longer care."
Zhuge Qing couldn't help laughing, and his inner thoughts became calm. In fact, he had long since stopped caring about all this.
Ever since he came in and just wanted to rest for a while, he no longer cared about the earth-shaking changes and inner demons in his heart.
"He really beat me so hard that I was convinced."
Zhuge Qing really didn't know what mood he should be in right now, happy, sad or ashamed?
None of this, I just didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and at the same time I felt relieved that I could finally have a good sleep.
No need to worry about being slapped down by Qin Qi again when you wake up the next day.
"My dear bed, my dear quilt, my dear pillow, my dear brother, everything is so beautiful."
Zhuge Qing climbed onto the bed, resting his head on his favorite pillow, covered with his favorite quilt, hugged his lovely brother and fell asleep.
Zhuge Xiaobai: "Ah!"
Zhuge Xiaobai, with tears on his face, served as a pillow for his brother. The next day, someone spread the news.
It turned out that Zhuge Xiaobai had to sleep in the same bed with his brother even though he was so old, and he even stopped wetting the bed.
"Ah?! I didn't, I didn't, I really didn't wet the bed, wuwuwu, who spread this rumor?"
No matter how Zhuge Xiaobai explained, no one believed him, not even his best friend Xiaolu.
"It's okay, Xiaobai. I don't mind you."
Zhuge Xiaolu patted Zhuge Xiaobai on the shoulder and said so.
"Xiaolu, you are so kind, but believe me, I really didn't wet the bed."
"Well, I believe you."
Zhuge Lu said this, but he didn't believe it in his heart. After all, the news was spread by Zhuge Qing.
Zhuge Qing and Zhuge Bai are brothers, how could they spread rumors? This matter must be true.
But Xiaobai is too embarrassed to admit it for the sake of face.
At this time, Zhuge Meng came over with a bruised face.
"Hey? Aunt, what's wrong with you?"
Zhuge Lu asked.
"Just call me aunt, don't add that big word."
Zhuge Meng rubbed his panda eyes and said, "I don't know what happened last night, but someone sneaked in and punched me in the middle of the night."
"Look, the one on the left was beaten last night.
"What about the one on the right?"
"I was beaten this morning."
"Did you see who hit me?"
"I didn't see anything. The man put a sack on me from behind, beat me, and ran away. He didn't leave any trace."
"But I'm sure it's definitely someone from our village. But who on earth is this petty person who attacked me from behind?"
"Xiaobai, could it be your brother who did this? He's the only guy in the village who has a grudge against me. He must be trying to get revenge on me for mocking him."
Zhuge Meng immediately thought of Zhuge Qing. If there was any grudge, it would be Zhuge Qing. The other party had the motive and the ability, and was the most suspicious.
"Well, that shouldn't be the case. My brother held me in his arms while I slept last night. He never left and held me tightly."
Zhuge Xiaobai thought about it and realized that Zhuge Qing had not left last night, and they had come out together this morning.
"Who could it be?"
Zhuge Meng really couldn't think of anyone else. At this time, Zhuge Guan and Zhuge Sheng also came over.
"Da Meng, you got beaten up too. I knew it must be that Zhuge Qing's revenge. Let's go find him!"
Zhuge Guan and Zhuge Sheng also had panda eyes and were about to go find Zhuge Qing angrily.
"Wait, listen to me."
Zhuge Meng told the two of them what Zhuge Xiaobai had said, and then the two of them began to hesitate.
"Xiaobai, are you lying?"
"I'm a good kid and I never tell lies."
"Well, Xiaobai really doesn't lie. Could it be that Zhuge Qing really didn't do it? Then who else could it be?"
The three of them immediately fell into deep thought. They couldn't think of anyone else except Zhuge Qing, but Zhuge Qing had an alibi!
At this time, Zhuge Qing was giving positive reviews to the Tang Sect's newly opened online store.
"This substitute puppet is really useful. My silly brother was fooled and was stunned. I will buy it again next time - Anonymous, I am not Zhuge."
