Chapter 240: The River of Lethe

"Is this a loss of even the most fundamental self-image cognition?" Seeing the images of these ghosts, Ling Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

The appearance of the soul is related to the self-perception of the yin itself, and what they think they are, the appearance of the yin will take on what it thinks it is. This is the most instinctive cognition, and according to Buddhism, this cognition is 'self-appearance'.

Only with the concept and cognition of the self can the 'self' that manifests itself externally be formed.

The soul body has lost its self-awareness, and even its self-appearance has been lost, and the body of the yin soul has become so strange that it has no form, and its appearance has become blurred, and it is difficult to distinguish what it was before.

Such a blank soul can already be re-invested in reincarnation. It's a pity that there is no reincarnation now, and these pure and blank ghosts are just floating in the netherworld.

But now, Ling Yun had to have a headache about this.

Even Jun Wu and Ling Yue felt a little strange, and Ling Yue couldn't help but say to Ling Yun, "Lord Shenjun, this is too much, right?"

Ling Yun couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly: "I was going to wash away all their memories and thinking cognition, but who knew that the river would rudely wash away all their thinking memories and self-cognition, turning their souls into a pure blank. Although the original purpose has been achieved, it has gone too far!"

"Hey, it's really terrifying, even the self can be washed away, I'm afraid this river water is extraordinary, right?" At this time, there was a mountain god who saw such a scene, and couldn't help but gasp. "If our gods fall into it, I wonder if it will be washed away?"

This sentence suddenly made all the mountain gods and earth spirits shudder, and they couldn't help but look at each other, no one wanted to try the effect of the river, whether it could work on them.

I have to admit that this move has been successful, but because it was too successful, it brought serious flaws.

Those pure white souls, like a delicious meal, attracted yin spirits from all directions, and many yin spirits seemed to smell delicious food, staring at these souls who had been washed of their thinking and memories with malicious intentions.

Seeing such a scene, Ling Yun had to take action to temporarily put away these whitewashed souls, so as not to be devoured by those yin spirits. Then, on the border into the underworld, he erected a boundary monument, on which were engraved two large words—Lethe.

After watching Ling Yun put away those white souls, he set up a lower boundary monument on the side of the river boundary and named the long river 'Lethe River'. Ling Yue looked at the long river on the border of the underworld from afar, and couldn't help but ask Ling Yun, "Do you want to transform that river water again?" If it is still like this, then the river water cannot be used at all?"

"It's to make some restrictions!" Ling Yun silently calculated how to solve this problem.

When he used the chaotic energy to create the river, he added many evolutionary means to it, which not only had the effect of cleansing memories, but also had the effect of erasing one's own personality cognition, plus the water had no buoyancy, once it fell in, it would sink to the bottom, and could only climb up along the riverbank.

If you can't climb up in time, the whole mental memory will disappear completely.

Those white souls just now felt bad intuitively, and after falling into the river, they climbed to the river bank as fast as they could. But a few fell too deep and crawled out a little slowly, and these few white souls completely became a round ball, and they couldn't distinguish their original form.

They didn't even have the concept of action, and they continued to sink to the bottom of the river, only to be fished out by Ling Yun in the end.

These rivers have been stereotyped, and if you want to modify them again, you need to reverse them and evolve them again. It's too much of a hassle.

Lingyun tried to reduce the dosage to see if he could achieve his goal.

He took a yin spirit, took out a yellow spring water from the river, and forcibly poured it down. Then Ling Yun took a closer look.

The thinking memory of this yin soul is being erased little by little by the river, and when all the memories in the world are erased, Lingyun poured a yellow spring water for it, and the memories of the past are gone, and then the spiritual thinking becomes indifferent, and those emotions that belong to joy, anger, sorrow and joy are also erased by the yellow spring water one by one as if they were wiped away by a big hand.

When the yellow spring water was completely digested, Ling Yun took another cup of yellow spring water and concocted it in the same way.

This time, the Yellow Spring Water acted on the personality self-awareness, and with the effect of the Yellow Spring Water, its self-awareness was erased, and the entire Yin Soul body began to blur, exactly the same as the white soul that had been floating on the riverbank before.

"I see!" Ling Yue had also been observing the changes in the Yin Soul Body in Ling Yun's hand, and when she saw the three river water pouring down, the soul body began to lose itself and became the same as the previous White Soul. She couldn't help muttering, "If people are to use artificial methods to pour river water into these ghosts, it will take at most two lamps of river water to make them wash away their habits in life." ”

"But there are so many Yin Souls who enter the Netherworld every day, how can we have time to pour these river water on them?" After thinking about it, Ling Yue felt that this method was unrealistic, how could there be so many people to pour river water on these Yin Souls?

"You reminded me!" At this moment, Ling Yun suddenly slapped his palms and remembered another point, "In that desolate land, not only wild beasts and brute beasts have died, but also those intelligent beings who have opened their minds have also come to the Netherworld. ”

Although the number of intelligent souls in the Yin Soul is relatively rare, there are still a small number of intelligent souls who wander the plains without support like those wild beasts.

After these yin spirits died from the yang world, they came to this netherworld without eating, drinking, or sleeping. The beast's beast soul has no intelligence, and it is nothing to wander the wasteland in such a muddy manner. But it is not fair to the wise souls to roam the wasteland with the unintelligent beasts.

The greatest strength of intelligent beings lies in their wisdom. Every piece of wisdom is a precious asset to the world. These intelligent beings are thinking, passing on knowledge, and exploring the world, and the insights and thoughts they have gained from exploring the world, all of which have a role in promoting the evolution and development of the world.

And they are intelligent, and they are the best managers of the Netherworld. All you have to do is gather them together and manage order for the Netherworld.

Lingyun hung a golden bell on the tree, and when he knocked on the golden bell with his fingers, an invisible sound wave spread. A message was sent to these wisdom ghosts, which was a fluctuation of the language of the gods, which Lingyun limited to any intelligent being who could understand the message contained in Zhong Bo.

After these Yin Spirits received the Golden Bell's summons and gathered under the treasure tree, Ling Yun slightly organized them and gave them a true entity with the power of creation.

This is not a temporary entity given by the Netherworld, but a real soul materialization. Materialized souls give them the potential and power that are different from ordinary Yin Souls, and can better manage the order of the Netherworld.

Lingyun then assigned them work. Let them detain the spirits, escort them to the river to drink the water, and then let them go and let them roam the underworld.

He used his divine power to create a set of magic weapons designed to restrain the Yin Spirits, and he distributed these magic weapons to these wise Yin Spirits: "You can restrain the Yin Spirits with this set of tools, and your job in the future is to escort those Yin Spirits to the river of the Underworld and let them drink the river water, or you can forcibly pour the river water on them......"

At the same time, he told them the amount of water they needed to drink, and told them to carry out their tasks conscientiously: "If any of you can do well, I will reward you with the throne of God." ”

Hearing Ling Yun say this, those Yin Souls who got the magic weapon became even more excited, they knew the power of the gods, if they could obtain the god position, it didn't mean that they could also become gods. This excites them a lot.

Making such a promise surprised not only Lingyue and Jun Wu, but even those mountain gods and earth gods were very surprised.

From ancient times to the present, those who can obtain the priesthood and divine position are all natural gods or divine beasts close to the gods, and there have never been other beings who have helped to become gods through others. Ling Yun's words not only surprised them, but also made them feel incredible.

Ling Yun didn't care about the surprise of the gods. Continue to command the ghosts and arrange the process.
