Chapter 682: Seven emotions and six desires!

"Seven emotions and six desires?"

Xu Que was startled upon hearing this.

He did know about the seven emotions and six desires; they belonged to the emotions that many people possessed to a greater or lesser extent!

For example, there were quite a few sayings about the seven emotions, the most widely circulated of which were "greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, desire, evil" and "joy, anger, worry, thought, sorrow, fear, shock."

It's just that the former were also called the seven sufferings in Buddhism, namely "greed, anger, ignorance, resentment and meeting, separation from loved ones, unfulfilled desires, loss of glory and joy."

As for the six desires, they were very clear, referring to the needs or wishes of the "eye, ear, nose, tongue, body, mind," and thus became "form, sound, smell, taste, touch, dharma"!

As long as one was a person, one would possess these seven emotions and six desires to a greater or lesser extent. If one cut them all off, one could not be called a person!

And now that Fairy Zixia said this array was related to the "seven emotions and six desires," Xu Que reacted instantly.

Combined with the things those people in the image had experienced just now, it was clear that they were all experiencing the test of the seven emotions and six desires!

"Unexpectedly, there is such a divine array in the world! The so-called 'greed, anger, ignorance, hatred, love, desire, evil, form, sound, smell, taste, touch, dharma.' These seven emotions and six desires are all red-dust appearances; worldly people are obsessed and unable to escape. I'm afraid no one can pass this level!" Fairy Zixia shook her head, her expression solemn, and said in a low voice.

"Not necessarily. All arrays must have a Gate of Life. If it were a person who had cut off the seven emotions and six desires, and had no desires or demands, they wouldn't be able to enter here either, so I feel this array must have a way to be broken; it's just that we have to find the location of its Gate of Life first!" Xu Que said, his gaze always fixed on the ground.

However, with his array cultivation realm, he couldn't see any clues!

"Look, those two senior brothers and junior sister are having a situation!" At this moment, cultivators on the walls exclaimed.

Xu Que and Fairy Zixia heard this and turned their heads to look at the image on the ceiling.

The group of senior brothers and junior sister who had entered earlier, becoming princes and princesses, now only had one man and one woman left.

The battle had ended, and the man had achieved victory, killed his senior brothers, and finally was together with that little junior sister!

However, when he returned in triumph, bringing countless precious gifts to marry the princess of that great country, he was told that the wedding had been canceled.

The Emperor had betrothed the only princess to a prince who had rushed over from a great country far away.

The prince was very handsome, tall, and powerful, and as soon as he appeared, he made that prince look pale in comparison.

The princess also agreed to the Emperor's arrangement on the spot, abandoned that prince, abandoned her senior brother, and wanted to be with the prince of the great country!

"No! No, Princess, didn't you say you wanted to be with me forever?" The prince was stunned, falling to the ground in a daze, asking in disbelief.

The princess frowned instantly and reprimanded, "Presumptuous, when did this Princess ever say such things!"

"You..." The prince's face changed instantly!

He seemed to recall that on the battlefield, the other princes also claimed that the princess had promised them love, but at this moment, the princess had turned her face and denied it!

"You shameless woman!" Finally, the prince became angry and roared out loud.

The entire palace was instantly in an uproar; countless people were moved, including the Emperor, who was furious on the spot.

He ordered people to drive that prince away, but the prince had already gone mad, rushed forward, twisted the neck of that princess, and afterward, he himself was hacked to death by the guards who rushed in!

The image ended here!

In the secret chamber, the two senior brothers and junior sister had also fallen, gradually sinking into the ground!

Including Xu Que, everyone who finished watching this scene fell silent.

They had watched with their own eyes as this group of senior brothers and junior sister who grew up together walked down full of confidence, but didn't expect the ending to be like this.

"What exactly did they experience in the few years not shown in the image? In just a few years, why would they forget their past relationship?" Xu Que was puzzled and couldn't help but say.

Fairy Zixia shook her head slightly: "I'm afraid this is also the transcendence of this array, which can make people slowly forget their past identities, gradually sink into it, and make them believe that that world is real!"

Xu Que could not help but tighten his expression: "If it's like this, then how can we walk out of the array? There's simply no chance to find the Gate of Life!"

Fairy Zixia was silent, her gaze looking at Xu Que, somewhat regretting promising to let him come over!

Because the current situation had far exceeded her control, and they were completely in a dilemma!

She herself didn't care, because if she perished here, she would only lose a Dharma body, and her true body would at most be repelled.

But Xu Que was different; if he died here, he would truly be gone.

"No, I don't want to wait any longer; we've been in here for several months, and if we keep waiting like this, it will be a dead end sooner or later!" At this moment, from a passage entrance on the opposite wall, someone shouted again.

The people in the same passage also nodded: "Not bad, rather than being trapped here, it's better to go down and give it a try!"

"Have you noticed that they went down together, walking in the same place, which is why they killed each other; we can do the opposite!"

"Oh?"

"After we go down, don't walk together; walk separately, enter different illusions, and then find a way to survive."

"Hey, this can be tried!"

"Life and death are determined by fate; we'll rely on ourselves!"

After speaking, the few of them chose to set off one after another, sweeping toward the space below.

If their plan worked, they would all be far apart, each walking toward the central area.

The next moment, the person walking in front suddenly stiffened, radiance appeared under his feet, and following that, the people behind also appeared in this situation!

In the end, several rays of light swept toward the space above the secret chamber, each forming several images.

"They succeeded, entering different illusions!" Xu Que said.

He looked at the images, and the group of people appeared in different scenes.

Some became scholars, some became great officials, some became emperors, and some became beggars...

As before, the images flashed, and the time changed!

The scholar studied hard for many years, changing from a young man to a middle-aged man, yet he was never able to pass the imperial examination!

The great official changed from an honest style to finally becoming a greedy person, coveting high power.

The emperor changed from a wise monarch into a muddled, lawless ruler, intoxicated by the licentiousness of his harem.

The beggar became even more down-and-out, covered in diseases, suffering unspeakably!

Finally, the scholar exhausted all the silver in his family, fell into a broken temple, and chose to hang himself!

The great official was assassinated.

The emperor was overthrown by an uprising, and died in the palace!

Because the beggar stole food, he was beaten by sticks and died in the cold night!

The ending was still very miserable; no one could survive.

At this time, everyone finally understood that they all died by their own hands!

The scholar was obsessed with his official career, so after failing to pass the exam despite exhausting his family's wealth, he chose to commit suicide!

If he wasn't obsessed with this, and turned reading into a hobby, to enjoy life, he would have been able to survive.

If the great official had insisted on his initial honesty, he wouldn't have been assassinated!

If the emperor had continued to be a bright lord, the uprising of the rebel army wouldn't have been so smooth!

If the beggar hadn't stolen or robbed, and had insisted on this point, no matter how hard he lived, he wouldn't have died under the sticks!

They were wrong from the very beginning. The people who went in before seemed to be killing each other, but in fact, it was because their own choices were wrong that led to the subsequent things happening. It could be said that they all died by their own hands, died in the seven emotions and six desires!

"Supreme Treasure, you... what should we do?" At this moment, Fairy Zixia turned her head and looked at Xu Que with worry.

Actually, what she wanted to ask was just what Xu Que should do!

"There's no other way. After watching so much, there's no useful discovery! Now we can only enter the array to know what to do!" Xu Que shook his head.

He truly hadn't noticed anything, and even after asking the system, the system hadn't given him any useful response.

The only useful thing was that the system told him there was a function that could allow him to always maintain his memory and not forget!

So Xu Que decided to enter the array, then borrow the system's ability to take it one step at a time, and finally break this array! ===== CHAPTER 683 =====
