Chapter 36
His voice was deep, like a spring flowing slowly under the ice, and it was extremely difficult: "I have been tossing and turning in the world for 4,000 years, and I have seen the injustice of heaven and the destruction of human beings, but I can only do my best. ”
Ye Luwu exclaimed: "Four thousand years?!, Senior Brother, ...... you?"
What exactly are you who you are......
Chen Yujian's eyebrows furrowed, his chin rested on his right arm, and his expression was gloomy: "Since you have such cultivation, why do you still condescend to Lanmen?
Thinking that the fairy Yinhua has only been cultivated for eight hundred years, he has been in the world for four thousand years, and he must have seen the beginning of heaven and earth, and there is no one in the human world to match. Ye Luwu couldn't tell the difference, no matter how strong the turbidity of the Moque Society was, it wouldn't have any effect on him, but why did he become blind because of this? Is it because he didn't miss this consequence or...... Voluntarily?
The brief noonday hustle and bustle had ended, and the streets fell silent. A breeze broke in through the cracks in the window, and the tea in the white porcelain cups on the table rippled layer by layer, and then poured into the heavy light and wide robe with an eternal atmosphere.
His lips opened, and he spat out a memory of four thousand years ago.
"The vast heaven and earth came from chaos, and after the first opening of heaven and earth, there was a cloud of chaotic qi entrenched in the clouds and mountains. My spiritual consciousness was born from the Harmony and spent countless years alone after the first opening of heaven and earth, and then took human form. The moment I transformed, the remaining chaotic qi was divided into two clear qi and circulated between heaven and earth. ”
Ye Luwu was surprised, she had never thought of these words, "Then presumably this turbid two qi is the spiritual vein of the human world?"
Chongguang stretched out his hand, picked up a cup of tea from the table, and took a sip: "Yes, not really." Although the human race was born with spiritual sense, it was not as sensitive to the sensing of this pure qi as the rest of the living beings, so this first clear qi that began to circulate was captured by rare spirit beasts, and many divine beasts were born at that time. ”
"After another thousand years, about 1,500 years ago, those turbid qi really merged into the human world, thus deriving their own spiritual veins, and after that, it was the era of great cultivation that cultivators often yearn for. ”
Ye Luwu asked again: "Is the spiritual vein in the human world still related to you?"
Chongguang nodded slightly, lowered his eyes and said: "My original body is the chaotic qi, even if it was later divided into the two qi of turbidity and integrated into the spiritual veins of the human world, it is still my original body. This human spirit is me, and I am the entire human world. ”
These words were very weighty, and they weighed heavily on Ye Luwu's heart, making her breathless. The cultivation of all things depends on the spiritual vein, according to the words of the senior brother, he is closely related to the spiritual vein, if the spiritual vein is damaged, won't he also be harmed?
Chen Yu had been staring at the cup of tea on the table since he was just now, and he didn't know what he was thinking. When he heard Fang Cai's words, he slowly raised his head, narrowed his eyes and said, "I understand, those turbid qi of the disciples of the Moque Society, even if you don't include them in your body, they will cause the turbidity and two qi to lose balance after they flow in the world, and eventually affect the spiritual veins, and then your body will also be affected, right?"
Chongguang responded: "Yes, but I will never let the world be unbalanced. If there is an imbalance between the two turbid qi in the human world, my body will bear the brunt of the changes. Although there are not many turbidity in the Moque Society, they will breed resentment when they use the soul of a living person to cultivate, and this resentment is stronger than the turbidity, so my eyes are blind. ”
A silver thread flashed in Ye Luwu's mind, and she asked eagerly, "Senior brother, will this incident in the Hundred Ghost Pond have an impact on you?"
She already had an answer in her heart, but she didn't want to believe it, why should the turbidity imbalance caused by the cultivation of all things in the world have to be retributed to the senior brother alone, is this too unfair to him?
But Chongguang still nodded in her expectant Ai Ai's gaze, "The demonic qi in the Hundred Ghost Pond has been purified by the pool water, and it was originally impossible to create a turbidity and imbalance. The spiritual power I spent on performing the spell came from the spiritual veins of the world, and the spiritual veins of Xuzhou were already declining, and there was not much left after that Qianguang Yao. Besides, after all, the Hundred Ghost Pond is a thing that descended from the heavenly realm, and if I forcibly destroy it before it completes its mission, I will go against the sky, and I don't know what the consequences will be. ”
Ye Luwu hurriedly said: "But Jing She is delusional and wants to act against the way of heaven, and Senior Brother's move can be regarded as saving the people of Xuzhou." As well as the merit of destroying Jing She, such a great merit is not worth the sin of destroying the Hundred Ghost Pool?!"
The corners of Chongguang's lips hooked up a trace of arc, and said indifferently: "Even if the merit is greater than the fault, there is always a punishment that can be done against the way of heaven, but it can be slightly reduced." ”
"As early as fifty years ago, after the seal on the Fengwu Snow Mountain was shaken, the turbid qi began to be violently unbalanced. I had to use the pure qi in the three divine swords to barely suppress the demonic qi released by Yu Jin, but even so, my body was still greatly affected by this turmoil, so that my body returned to my childhood, and even lost more than ten years of memory because of this. ”
"What?!"
"What?!"
Ye Luwu and Chen Yu exclaimed at the same time, both of them with their eyes wide open, and their eyes were full of disbelief.
She secretly said no, and asked tentatively, "Then Senior Brother, when did your memory appear to be lost, and how long did it take to recover?"
If everything he thinks is true, and what Senior Brother has lost is the memory of the previous meeting ten years ago, then everything can be explained. His temperament changed drastically, and his cultivation increased suddenly, so there was a most reasonable explanation. But if this is the case, is the young man who is as bright as the moon in his memory real or false? Is the elder brother who has lost his memory still the real senior brother?
Gentleness or indifference, which is his true nature? or neither?
Her mind was now a jumbled mess, so much that it distracted her.
As if he was thinking about the past, a moment later, Chongguang's voice came again: "I just remember that I seemed to be going up to Arashiyama to find something, but I lost consciousness before I reached the mountain gate. When I woke up again, I was surrounded by a group of people with worried and regretful faces on their faces. Although I have been in the world for thousands of years, I am here to ......"
"Therefore, I didn't care about talking to people, and they called me senior brother one after another, and every word said that my body was good now, and I didn't know why at that time, so I had to use spiritual power to send them out of the main hall. After that, in order to be able to remember the reason for Lanmen, I recognized the identity of this great disciple. ”
Ye Luwu had already fallen into a deep shock at this time, she didn't hear clearly what Chongguang was doing in the world, but it was not important to her now. His thoughts are really right, the gentle and well-behaved senior brother who exists in the mouths of his predecessors and in his memories is not the real him at all!
But even if he lost his memory, his soul has not changed, no matter what kind of senior brother he is, he is all concerned about the world. Can you judge whether a person is your own standard, whether it is a soul or a memory? When the soul is the same but the memory is different, even if it is the same person, it will do very different things. Or will two people with different souls but the same memories behave in the same way?
She suddenly thought of those so-called theories of the continuation of the previous life in the afterlife, after leaving the memory of the previous life, even if they are two people whose souls have not changed, can they really love for a long time as in the previous life? If not, this theory of the afterlife is the most false lie. If you don't regret it in this life, why hope in the next life.
Thinking like this, she looked sideways at Chenyu on the side, presumably under those dark tide surging eyes, his sadness was even worse than herself, right? If he said that what he had lost was the only trace of warmth in the Lanmen, but for him, he had lost his junior brother who had been with him for ten years.
When the three of them were thinking differently, there was a sudden knock on the door, and the shopkeeper's voice came from outside the door in a muffled voice: "Distinguished guests, I have sent your hair crown to the pawnshop, and the rest of the silver taels are now here, I don't know if it is convenient to open the door?"
Ye Luwu looked at Chenyu, who was immersed in his own world, and reluctantly got up to open the door.
When the shopkeeper saw that it was her, he knew that the three of them must have something important to discuss, so he put the tray in his hand in her hand and smiled apologetically, and turned to leave.
The wooden staircase made a subtle "creaking" sound as he stepped on it. Ye Luwu was irritable, so he just took a cursory look at the silver taels in the tray and put them aside.
It was late autumn, and it was so dark that it was early in the day, and before dinner, the room was already a little gray. The three of them sat around the round table and were silent for a long time.
Ye Luwu raised the tip of his right finger, and a cluster of firelight flew out in an instant, lighting the red candle above the candlestick.
At the moment when the candlelight flashed, Chen Yu finally spoke in a low voice, and his voice was full of loneliness: "You don't remember the events of those ten years, but why did you fight with me as soon as we met, and deliberately defeated me? Why did I seal the meridians, lock the dantian, and take you away from Lanshan? Why did you call my senior brother and let me believe in you again!"
His tone became more and more agitated, as if he wanted to vent all the emotions along the way.
Ye Luwu lowered her eyes on the side and said nothing, she knew that Chen Yu should be very sad in her heart at the moment. He and the first head of the family have been carefully protected for ten years, and the junior brother who has been worried for ten years turned out to be the master of the spiritual veins of this human world, and he was born in the chaos of Hongmeng, presumably at that time, there was no immortal in the world.
After a while, his voice lowered, his eyes lowered, as if he was talking to himself: "That's right, with my mere mortal cultivation, where can I seal your spiritual power." It's just that those ten years were half of my life, and I was the only one who remembered it clearly. In your eyes, ten years are only a few breaths. ”
The dancing candle flame half hid his face in hazy shadows, and his lowered eyes condensed ten years of loneliness.
