Netherworld, no day or night.

In the Artemisia Lethe, a little fluorescent flicker, adding a strange beauty to this world.

Xu Yi raised his head and looked at the faint ribbon of light passing in the sky, like a river composed of stars, slowly flowing through.

He found a fragment of his memory belonging to Ziying in the sea of knowledge.

There is a large world called the Styx Realm, and the whole world is a vast and incomparably wide Styx.

The secluded capital of the Styx Realm is the dojo of the Wheel King, the ancestor of the Ghost Dao. Standing in the capital and looking up, you can see the entire river Styx, flowing around the city.

Countless Yin Spirits, struggling in the River Styx, they lost their minds, and only the most painful scene before death remained, which kept reincarnating.

It's obviously such a dark and terrifying truth, but it is so mysterious and beautiful that it makes people break their hearts.

Xu Wei doesn't know what the Styx of the Netherworld is, but I think it has something to do with the Styx Realm, right? If this thing returns to the Wheel King, it will definitely boost his strength.

He lowered his eyes and meditated on his breath.

Lingyu can't do it now, he has to make sure that he can protect the two of them.

I don't know how long I sat there, but in the Artemisia Lethe, a figure slowly emerged.

Xu Wei suddenly opened his eyes and watched this figure go from illusory to clear.

Purple-dressed, black-haired, handsome as a statue's face, without a trace of expression, and even more cold in his eyes, like the best gems, clear but cold.

Both the face and the body are exactly the same as him, but he knows that this is not him.

There is an aura on the body of this purple-clothed man, as if everything is before him. will not be able to withstand its sharpness. And turned into powdered momentum.

He just needs to show up. Even if you don't say anything, it's impossible to ignore.

"Ziying Heavenly Monarch......" Xu Wei slowly pronounced out the name.

This was not the first time he had seen his predecessor, but every time he saw Ziying Tianjun, he would think, this is worthy of being the supreme of kendo, he is standing there, no matter how he looks at it. It's all a cold, emotionless sword, not a person.

Although he has returned to his original self and is becoming more and more similar to Ziying Tianjun, he has more popularity, even if his current body is condensed by purple qi, and he is no longer a human body.

"What are you doing?" The cold voice came out of his mouth, obviously without the slightest emotion, but it made people clearly feel his dislike. "You actually used the True Palace to protect Huaisu?"

"It's my business." Xu Wei replied lightly.

"You use my Shangzhen Palace to protect Huaisu, and you still say it's none of my business?"

"Yours?" There was a hint of sarcasm on Xu Wei's face. "Are you sure it's yours? Ziying Tianjun, I don't care how powerful you were before, and I don't care if you are my predecessor, now you are dead, and there is only such a little divine thought left, unwillingly nostalgic for the past...... The living person is me, if you are not reconciled, why did you let the true spirit be reincarnated in the first place? Since I have been reincarnated, why should I be bound by memories of the past? ”

Hearing these words, Ziying Tianjun's eyes slowly narrowed, staring at him coldly.

"You are me, you will become me after all, haven't you realized it yet? Look at your fate, after reincarnation, you are obviously a human being, but in the end you still become a spirit body, become a being like me, and walk on the path you once had. What are you struggling with? Isn't such a future bad? ”

"Not good! I don't want to be like you, a cold sword. Xu Wei said without hesitation.

A sharp light shot out of Ziying Tianjun's eyes: "Whether it's me or you, it's originally a sword. Do you think that you can still be regarded as a human being? ”

Xu Wei didn't give an inch: "Even if I reforge the spirit body now, why can't I be considered a human?" ”

Ziying Tianjun closed his eyes, he seemed a little helpless, and muttered, "I really didn't expect that my reincarnated body would be like this." Waisu, is this your new ploy? Let him be contaminated with the seven emotions and indulge in the pleasures of the flesh, it is simply ......"

"It's not carnal pleasure!" Xu Wei interrupted him.

"What's that?" Ziying Tianjun looked at him coldly, "If it's not the joy of the flesh, why is it so difficult to give up, and it is difficult to help yourself?" I can't even give up my own desires, so what's the way? ”

Xu Wei didn't speak again, as if he had been asked.

I don't know how long it took, but when Xu Yi came back from his contemplation, the purple-clothed man in front of him was no longer there.

He let out a long breath and pressed his forehead.

After Zi Ying's divine thoughts were dissolved by him, although there was still a slight residue, it could no longer affect him, why did it appear just now? Moreover, it is not in the sea of knowledge. Could it be that his divine mind is strong again?

Zi Ying's question to him just now, he couldn't answer it.

He was clearly convinced that there was no problem with his path, so why was he still asked?

Ziying is right about one thing, whether it is physical joy or true love, it is all seven emotions. And now, he really can't let go of the seven feelings.

Could it be that he would really embark on the path of his previous life, break off the Seven Feelings, and become the Supreme Purple Ying Heavenly Monarch of the Sword Dao?

If so......

Xu turned his head and looked at Lingyu lying quietly in the hall, and his heart was confused.

In the Artemisia Lethe, the river Styx in the sky still flows slowly, sprinkling a little fluorescence.

The yin wind of the underworld blew, and the dense artemisia grass rose and fell with the wind, just like his heart now.

Lingyu slept for three days.

Three days later, she came to her senses, and most of her wounds had healed. Although the loss of the true element is strict, those injuries have been repaired.

Xu Wei sat beside her, seemingly distracted, until she spoke up, only to find that she had woken up.

"Are you alright?" He asked.

"It's fine." Lingyu turned her wrist and moved, "The injury is not serious, it should be fine for half a month." ”

"Hmm." Xu Wei replied lightly.

Lingyu felt that something was wrong and poked him: "What are you doing?" ”

Xu Yi came back to his senses: "It's nothing. ”

"Nothing to blame!" Lingyu smiled and said, "Seeing that you are like this, there is something wrong, what's the matter, it's inconvenient to sue me?" ”

"No, no." Xu denied it intuitively and was silent for a while. In the end, it was said. "I think it's a little weird here."

"Eccentric? How so? ”

"I ......" Xu Wei was a little embarrassed. After struggling for a while, he finally said, "I saw Ziying Tianjun here." ”

"Huh?" Lingyu's smile slowly retracted, "What do you mean by seeing?" ”

"......," Xu said, "After I dissolve his divine thoughts, his residual thoughts will sometimes appear in my sea of consciousness, but in the past three days. He just appeared in front of me, several times. ”

The words that Ziying Tianjun accused him were sharper and sharper each time, and each time it was more difficult for him to answer.

Later, Xu Shun couldn't help but ask himself, was he really wrong like this? If you want to continue walking, you must cut off the seven emotions and give up the one between you and Lingyu?

"I remembered when you said that." Listening to his description, Lingyu's face was contemplative. "When I restored my consciousness, I seemed to see Huaisu in the sea of consciousness. But I just ignored her. ”

She is different from Xu Wei. He didn't have much respect for his previous life, and Ziying Heavenly Monarch was an insurmountable peak in the eyes of Jian Xiu. Before Xu Wei knew the origin of his relationship with Ziying Heavenly Monarch, he had already established a reverence and yearning for him.

"We can't stay here." Xu Wei said, "Let's find another hiding place." ”

Lingyu said, "I think this is a good hiding place. ”

Facing Xu Yi's incomprehensible gaze, she asked, "In the past few days, haven't those ghosts come here to look for them?" ”

Xu Wei nodded.

Lingyu said: "There must be a problem here, and those ghosts can't come out." We're hiding here, safer. ”

"But ......"

Without waiting for Xu Yi to finish speaking, she said again: "It's also good for you." ”

Xu was stunned.

Lingyu said: "The question asked by Ziying Heavenly Monarch is not something that you don't have to face if you ignore it. Sooner or later, you'll have to face these things. When you become a god, do you want to ask your heart? If your mind is cluttered, how do you take that step? ”

After she said this, Xu Rui found out that this was really a big problem for him.

If he agrees with Ziying Heavenly Monarch's Heavenly Dao in his heart, then, when he turns into a god, he must give up the feelings of disagreement.

"So, I think you might as well take this opportunity to pass this hurdle and leave no hidden dangers when the time comes." After Lingyu finished speaking, she looked at him carefully, "What, do you think this is not good?" ”

Xu Wei pondered for a long time, and said slowly: "What you said makes sense, but I was scared, so I was in a hurry to leave." ”

Lingyu smiled: "You are different from me, this level will be much more difficult than me." "Although they all intend to break with their past lives and don't want to be their former selves, how can some things be so easily cut off?

Lingyu is so arbitrary because Huaisu is such a person. She could accept the cultivation path arranged by Huaisu, but she could not accept that Huaisu was still in charge of her life. Because, she is the present, and Huaisu is the past.

If you can't get rid of the past, how can you affirm yourself?

Similarly, this is also a level that Xu Yi must face, unless he passes it, otherwise, even if he becomes Ziying Tianjun, it is impossible for him to continue walking. Because, in that case, he will be lost in a life that does not belong to him.

It's really funny, as if Ziying and Huaisu appeared to help them get through this hurdle. If you agree with your previous life, you will cut off the seven feelings, and if you don't, then you will break the residual thoughts of your previous life and re-establish yourself. What would they think if their deities were here?

However, Lingyu knew that this could not happen, because their true spirit had already been reincarnated. As long as she and Xu Yi are still alive and the self is still there, Ziying and Huaisu will not really appear.

In the Artemisia Lethe, there is silence, and occasionally the wind of the underworld blows, becoming more and more peaceful.

Lingyu sat quietly for a while and said, "I remember that there is a Buddhist scripture that says that the water of Lethe River can illuminate people's hearts, and troubles, sorrows, joys, and worries will all appear one by one. Unless the mind is unhindered, you can cross the Lethe River and re-enter the reincarnation. Presumably, it is this Lethe River water that has affected our hearts, so we will think of it repeatedly. ”

She turned her head and looked at Xu Yi: "Do you remember what you said before?" I can trust you, no matter what the situation. I believe in you, even if Ziying Heavenly Monarch appears, you will not change. (To be continued......)
