Chapter 236: Memories Reserved by the Eye
Hearing this, Jingli was stunned, but also became serious, and she asked in a strange tone: "What does Pan Daoyou mean by this?" I don't quite understand. ”
She really didn't understand, although she vaguely felt strange when Panqi invited her to come to the Spirit Mist Forest to look for clues, but her vigilance flashed and did not exist for a long time. Because, although she is a completely different person from Panqi, she also understands his thoughts and believes in his personality.
Today's universal ideas make monks habitually think only of themselves. There is a general consensus that the path of cultivation is too hard, and if you think about others, the burden will be heavier, and the heavier your mind and the more distracting thoughts you will have, the more difficult the path of cultivation will become. In order to practice better, you can only pretend to be yourself in your heart, and if you have more, you will be overweight.
However, there are many people in this world who do not agree with this concept, and they have their own principles to adhere to, such as sword cultivation based on "righteousness" and Confucianism based on "benevolence".
Panqi is a sword cultivator, and he is a sword cultivator who is strict with himself, and he has a benevolent heart that is rare in the world.
No matter how much Jingli likes to provoke, he thinks in his heart that such a person deserves the respect and trust of others. Only this time, Panqi's performance disappointed her.
Panqi pursed his lips tightly, not knowing whether he didn't want to answer, or didn't think about how to answer.
Jingli paused and asked again, "Pan Daoyou, what are you hiding?" Panqi obviously concealed it, but I don't know how much he concealed it and what his purpose was. Perhaps, it was all a lie from the beginning.
"Pan Daoyou." Jingli let out a long sigh and said again. "Although you and I have a verbal dispute, but it does not affect my high opinion of you, I have always thought that you are a person with a narrow heart, this trip must also be a sincere invitation, now it seems that I see the wrong person."
Panqi's lips trembled slightly, but he still didn't speak.
For a moment, the cave was silent again. Jingli looked at Panqi with her hands on her chest, and didn't speak anymore, she was waiting for his explanation.
After a long time. When the net glass is almost impatient. Panqi finally spoke with difficulty: "I do have something to hide, but I only hide one thing. My concealment wasn't deliberately deceiving, it was just that I didn't know how to explain it to anyone, and. I thought it might not affect the big picture. But I don't want to. Because of the appearance of that scream, I was confused. At this point, I really should tell Su Daoyou everything I know. It's just that whether to believe or not to believe can only be decided by the Taoist friends themselves. ”
In fact, in the first two years of his eye being cured, Panqi often saw some strange scenes repeatedly, but at that time he didn't know that he was replaced with someone else's eyes, so he always thought that those were nightmares or the sequelae of treatment, until he learned the truth and recalled the scene at that time, and then he felt shuddering.
"The scene, and maybe the sound?" Jingli raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.
Before this, she only knew that if the Yuan Infant was physically damaged, she could take it away, and if the body of the Yuan Ying was compatible, then it would be successful, if it was difficult to fuse, she could no longer cultivate in the future, and could only maintain the status quo until she exhausted her Shouyuan. She had never heard of the possibility of swapping human eyes or other parts of the body, and she didn't know what the after-effects of such an evil spell would be. Therefore, she chooses to believe Panch's narrative.
"Yes, and the voice. It was a man's scream, and every once in a while, that scream popped up in my head, and the sound lasted for two years before it faded away. As you may have guessed, it was the sound we just heard. Recalling the situation at that time, Panqi only smiled bitterly.
At that time, because of the hard-won light, he lost the ability to think excitedly, thinking that it was his own auditory hallucination, and it would be fine when his cultivation was stable, and then those scenes slowly disappeared. After learning the truth, he thought that the reason why those scenes disappeared was because his eyes had completely merged with him, so the memories of the past were gradually washed away.
"What does the scene look like? Is it related to fog? "Panqi has been to Bixia Mountain, which is also foggy all year round, and has targeted himself in the Lingwu Forest, perhaps because of this reason? Jingli speculated.
Panqi shook his head and replied, "I didn't deceive you, I just tried my luck when I came to the Spirit Mist Forest, but I didn't expect it to be here......" He reached out and touched his eyes, and his heart was mixed. That person, sure enough, is still alive, will he accept his compensation, or will he want these eyes back?
"So what exactly are you seeing?" Jingli confirmed it again and again.
What do you see? This is a very important thing. This represents where that person may be and where they are, and most importantly, whether there is a risk or not...... The scream just now was really terrifying, and it would make that sound from time to time, and no matter how you think about it, you feel that there will be danger hidden.
Panqi seemed to be able to guess what Jingli was thinking, he shook his head and replied, "Nothing, no danger." It was a cave, a green cave, and the cave was covered with moss and aquatic plants, and it was not scary, it was the sound that was scary. I thought maybe the man had his eye gouged out in that place, so this was the last scene it ever saw. ”
"That's right." Jingli pondered for a moment, "But after all these years, isn't it strange that the scream is still there?" We can make two guesses, the first is that the scream was made by the original owner of the eye, who was gouged out and locked up there, and for so many years, he had to scream twice from time to time. Second, the scream is not directly related to the original owner of the eye, but perhaps he heard the sound before, and then the sound remained in the eye......"
Thinking of this, Jingli glanced at Pan Qi with suspicious eyes again and asked, "Did you say it all this time?" Or is there still something hidden? ”
"It's all said." Panqi let out a long sigh of relief, "I concealed the things I had seen, but I found it a little difficult to convince others, after all, my eyes retain the memories of the original owner, which sounds strange." Oh, by the way, I forgot to mention that the medical cultivation was only for foundation building at that time, so I don't think the risk of this trip should be too big. ”
"Why is such an important thing being said now?" Jingli raised her eyebrows, making it clear that this last sentence is the most important.
She stretched out her hand and pointed to the wall on the left and said, "Dig here, the sound just now came from this side." (To be continued.) )
