Chapter 304 You Have to Sacrifice

However, in addition to being furious, Jiang Lu couldn't help but reflect.

Is it really so subtle that I have overcome these evil desires? Why can't anyone see it?
"If they are not overcome, then people will be led by these desires. Their words and deeds, as well as the first way they think of dealing with problems, will be driven by these desires. Do you understand what I mean?"

Jiang Lushun recovered his breath and patiently explained again:

"Look at me, do I look like a walking corpse?"

"Hmm." Dong Wanggong hesitated, unable to bear the heart to burst Jiang Lu's fantasy.

"You are still questioning!" Jiang Lu said angrily.

"Ah no."

Dong Wanggong waved his hands and said:
"I just suddenly thought that there might be a possibility that you haven't considered."

"You said."

"Is it possible that these emotions are not desires for you?"

Jiang Lu blinked in confusion: "What do you mean?"

Dong Wanggong pondered and spoke slowly: "Desire comes from need. The less you have, the more you want. When what you want exceeds what you need, then the need becomes desire. Do you agree with this logic?"

Jiang Lu thought about it and felt that there was nothing wrong with it, so he nodded: "I agree."

“Yes.” Dong Wanggong nodded: “Just like a person in the desert longs for water, but if he is in a place with abundant water, the same water will not arouse his desire. A full man does not know the hunger of a hungry man. This is the truth.

But these are desires to meet normal survival needs, so they are not considered evil desires. "

"and then?"

"Then evil desires are desires that are not survival needs, and are essentially desires to satisfy emotional needs through plunder, competition, or even attacking others."

Dong Wanggong gave an example:

“The most common ones are lust, desire for performance, desire for conquest, etc.

In order to achieve these goals, people will inevitably do things that are against the harmony of nature. More importantly, people will become addicted to these desires to the point of losing their minds. This is what you call being driven by desires and being deeply trapped in them.

Therefore, in order to avoid such tragedies, dogmas have established rules and regulations, using some representative and general evil desires as untouchable dogmas, such as the Ten Evils and the Seven Deadly Sins.

But in fact, when we break down evil desires, there are more than just these, but they are often the source of various evil desires. "

"What exactly do you want to say?" Jiang Lu was getting impatient as he listened to him talking endlessly about the definition of evil desire but never got to the point.

Seeing Jiang Lu gradually losing his patience, Dong Wanggong finally sighed and said, "I think I have made it very clear. The most fundamental difference between evil desires and normal desires is whether they are for the purpose of satisfying survival needs.

The same thing can have completely different meanings in different contexts.

It is acceptable for a person to eat a giant panda when he is starving to death, but if he hunts pandas specifically for the sake of excitement and hunting for game, this is an evil desire that cannot be tolerated. "

"Ah, you're watching Luo Xiang too?"

"So what I meant by saying so much is, is there a possibility that these evil desires in the traditional sense are basic survival needs for you, so even if you don't overcome them, it will have no effect on you?"

Dong Wanggong paused and continued:

“It may be a bit of an exaggeration to call it a survival need, but it is true that some people are born to like doing some meaningless evil things, such as kicking a trash can when they see it, or giving a bad review after ordering takeout.

For such people, evil desires can no longer be called evil desires. They are not like, "Oh, I suddenly feel lustful today and I want to be a flower thief," nor are they like, "He makes me really jealous and I want to find an opportunity to kill him." Rather, they are natural and normal needs, just like eating and drinking water without any reason."

Jiang Lu thought for a long time, then suddenly looked up in disbelief and asked Dong Wanggong: "You don't want to say that I was born a bad seed, do you?"

"Although what you said was a bit blunt, but..."

Dong Wanggong looked embarrassed and said, "That's exactly what I meant."

"Asshole! You are the opposite of Tian Gang, right? I am born a bad seed, then what is your sister?"

"Ah, the love-brain that was deceived by the yellow-haired guy."

"It's not you." Jiang Lu frowned, but was unable to refute.

"Brother-in-law, don't worry."

Perhaps he saw Jiang Lu's embarrassment, and Dong Wanggong put his arm around Jiang Lu's shoulders in a comforting manner:

“No matter who you are, I still say the same thing, since my sister believes in you, then I believe in you.

I, the Duke of Dong, am famous for being unfair to people and not to things. I help my relatives but not to others. I call you my brother-in-law, which proves that I recognize you no matter who you are."

"I don't know why you say that but it makes me feel even worse."

"The reason I'm saying this is mainly to tell you that your situation may be different from my sister's. People cannot be generalized. Even if you don't overcome the evil desires brought on by the three corpse spirits, nothing will happen to you, but it's not certain for my sister."

Dong Wanggong's eyebrows were full of worry:

"I'm really worried."

Seeing his true feelings revealed, Jiang Lu couldn't help but be moved.

After so many years, Dong Wangong has finally grown up.

Knowing how to worry about your family is a crucial step in transforming from a boy to a man.

So Jiang Lu said with emotion: "Ah, why don't you remember your sister's birthday before you act so pretentious with me?"

"."

"Okay, it was just a joke." Jiang Lu put away his playful smile and said seriously, "Don't worry about the Three Corpse Spirits. It was your sister's idea to accept the Three Corpse Spirits again. If there is any danger at that time, I promise you that I will stop it at the first time. This is a promise between men!"

"Brother-in-law." Dong Wanggong was stunned for a moment, and asked with tears in his eyes: "But now you have lost all your cultivation and are just an ordinary person. If something unexpected really happens, what can you do to stop it?"

"My life!" Jiang Lu said in a deep voice.

“Brother-in-law!” Dong Wanggong finally couldn’t hold it anymore and hugged Jiang Lu: “My sister and I really didn’t make a mistake about him!”

But Dong Wanggong did not notice that Jiang Lu, who was being held by him at this moment, had his head on his shoulder and was showing a mysterious smile.

Haha, I haven’t even won my own resurrection match, how can I expect to survive?

Letting go of Jiang Lu, Dong Wanggong wiped his moist eyes, his face still showing his excitement.

After finally calming down, Dong Wanggong remembered something important.

"But brother-in-law, my sister's three corpses have not been found yet. What's the point of saying all this?"

"Wrong." Jiang Lu shook his head: "Absolutely wrong!"

"What?" Jiang Lu smiled slightly: "If I say that I was the one who broke the seal of Gaishi Mountain, how will you respond?"

"Ah?" Dong Wanggong was shocked. "That seal would make even a Golden Immortal sigh with regret. How come you are really an ordinary person and you didn't lie to me?"

“I can only say that sincerity can move mountains and open up new horizons.”

Jiang Lu stood with his hands behind his back. A gust of wind happened to blow by, and his clothes fluttered in the wind. He looked like a handsome gentleman:

“Perhaps the relationship between your sister and I moved the person who set up the ban, and the difficult seal seemed pale and powerless in front of this sincere relationship.

In ancient times, Yang Jian and Chen Xiang split the mountain to save their mother. Today, I, Jiang Lu, broke out of the cocoon to save my wife. The difference is that I didn't even use force. This is enough to prove my love for your sister, which even surpasses the love between mother and son. "

"But wasn't that seal set by my sister?"

"Ah, that's not important." Jiang Lu embraced Dong Wanggong, his face unchanged: "The important thing is that our love is invincible, understand?"

"I seem to understand a little bit." Dong Wanggong nodded thoughtfully.

"It's okay. It's okay if you don't understand now. When you find the one who belongs to you in the future, the girl whose every frown and smile makes you infatuated, the girl who is willing to give everything for her, and whose support makes you omnipotent, then you will understand what your brother-in-law said today. "

"walk slowly."

Dong Wanggong seemed to understand, then asked: "Then where are the three corpse spirits now?"

"It's in Nanjiang City. We are resting here now and preparing the materials for foundation building. I will take her to Kunlun Mountain in a few days." Jiang Lu picked out the key points.

"Can I come along?" Dong Wanggong suddenly asked, then realized something and quickly explained: "It's not that I don't trust you, brother-in-law, but as your younger brother, I'm really worried. No matter what, I want to witness it with my own eyes. Besides, you are just an ordinary person now. The journey to Kunlun Mountain is full of dangers. It will be safer if I am with you. What do you think?"

Are you afraid that the three corpse spirits will escape halfway or cause trouble? Jiang Lu thought.

He originally wanted Dong Wanggong to be his wingman and provide various information about Xi Wangmu so that he could re-conquer Xi Wangmu, whom he had not seen for a long time, in a short period of time, so he did not refuse.

However, when Jiang Lu was about to agree directly, he thought of another problem.

That is, he must never allow the Queen Mother of the West and the King Father of the East to have the opportunity to confess. The initiative must be in his own hands. Otherwise, once the two siblings conspire, wouldn't the stories he made up be exposed?
Jiang Lu's eyes rolled and he thought of a solution.

"It's okay to take you with me, but there is one requirement." Jiang Lu said seriously: "Before the three corpse spirits meet your sister, you must hide your identity and not let anyone know that you are the Lord of the East, including your sister."

"Why?"

Jiang Lu opened his mouth and said:

“Nonsense, your sister is such a self-respecting person, if you saw her struggle and weakness when she was overcoming the three corpse spirits, let alone what she would think in her heart, do you think you can still live a good life in the future?
And if you are around, she will definitely consider her own face. If she is distracted and something goes wrong, what will she do? "

"Yes, this is indeed a problem." Dong Wanggong nodded in agreement: "Brother-in-law, you are very thoughtful."

"of course?"

"But if I hide my identity, how can we meet her even if we reach Kunlun Mountain?" Dong Wanggong suddenly remembered something and looked troubled. "Kunlun Mountain is different from other places. There are many rules. As far as I know, she has been in seclusion for the past few decades. Without a suitable channel, it would be difficult to get her permission to enter, let alone let her come out."

"Don't worry about that. I have a solution."

What Lawyer Jiang was referring to was of course the promise made by law enforcement officer Xiao Zhang that as long as the undercover operation yielded some results, there would be a chance to go to Kunlun Mountain for further studies.

It is because of this that he has the confidence to meet the Queen Mother of the West without the presence of the King of the East.

"As expected of my brother-in-law, he still has connections." Dong Wanggong gave a thumbs up and flattered him.

But Jiang Lu did not get carried away by his flattery, but said seriously: "But... you need to make a little sacrifice."

"what?"

Jiang Lu did not answer immediately, but the look he gave Dong Wanggong made the latter feel uneasy for some reason.
"He's been in there for so long, he won't come out, right?"

"That shouldn't be the case, right? Two men, are they going to spend the night together?"

"Well, although, I think Brother Jiang still has his charm."

"what?"

Xue Yong and Wang Gang chatted idly, still waiting for Jiang Lu in the venue.

"Senior sister, are you still waiting?"

"Let's wait and see. My intuition tells me that they will come out again."

At this time, most of the people watching the fun were still discussing the rare things that had just happened. A small number of people were concentrating on carefully selecting gambling stones. Only a very few people were still staring at the place where the portal disappeared, waiting for Jiang Lu and Dong Wanggong to appear again.

Among them are Xue Yong and Wang Gang, as well as the two girls from Kunlun Mountains.

However, what is certain is that although what happened here cannot be made public, the battle between Shi Zhongxian and Jiang Lu, as well as the magical methods used by Dong Wanggong afterwards, will become rumors in the martial arts world for a long time and will be widely circulated in Nanjiang City.

"Sister, I'm hungry."

"Just bear with it for a while. I'll give it to you after we get out."

While the cold woman was still speaking, the portal that took Dong Wangong and Jiang Lu away suddenly appeared again without any warning.

The cold woman's eyes narrowed: "Here it comes."

A figure stepped out of the portal.

Jiang Lu's face, which had been blurry due to the white light from the portal, gradually became clear.

When they went in, it was the casino owner who led the way, but when they came out, it was Jiang Lu who came out first, which made everyone feel a little strange.

"Didn't the casino owner come out?"

The cold woman just felt confused when she saw the casino owner following Jiang Lu closely and the handcuffs on his hands.

"Ok?"

"Everyone, be quiet, and look at me!"

Jiang Lu shouted with full energy:

"I am Agent 005 of the Nanjiang Branch of the Law Enforcement Bureau. The owner of the casino has been arrested and the casino is about to be closed down. All unrelated personnel must evacuate immediately, otherwise I will arrest them all!"

Behind him, the "caught" King Gongzheng of the East hung his head with a look of regret on his face.

"I shouldn't have acted on impulse and got lost. How am I going to explain this to my sister?"

"It's over, hold back." Jiang Lu said in a low voice.

"Please learn from my experience, truly love life and stay away from gambling."
