The threads of cause and effect all over Ye Xuan's body were all pierced into the blind girl's body and connected to her heart and soul.
Due to the constraints of cause and effect, the blind girl was unable to react to Ye Xuan's actions and could only passively accept them.
Her eyes, as dark as a deep pool, gradually began to ripple, as if she was silently watching Ye Xuan's actions. Ye Xuan was not sure whether she was conscious at this time.
She was said to be conscious, but she was silent at this time, as if she had dementia.
To say that she was unconscious, she clearly had her eyes open, her pure black eyes staring closely at Ye Xuan, her brows slightly furrowed.
Under her gaze, Ye Xuan stretched out a finger and put the True Spirit Life and Death Demon Qi hovering at his fingertips into the blind girl's eyebrows, watching it pour into the blind girl's pure black heart and soul.
The thread of cause and effect tightly bound the blind girl's heart and soul, suppressing her, unable to resist the fusion of this true energy with herself.
However, the heart and soul of the blind girl, which was fused with the true spirit of life and death and demonic energy, had no movement for a long time.
It's still the pure black silence, like iron and stone.
How could this be?
If it is difficult for the true spirit to destroy the demon Qi, Ye Xuan really has no way to do it.
One can only watch helplessly as the blind girl is infected by the demonic energy and become a monster, or one can kill her before she turns into a monster.
At this time, the light in the blind girl's open eyes swayed, and a little bit of white light flowed in the corners of her eyes, as if to form the whites of her eyes.
She raised her head slightly and looked at Ye Xuan. Her thin face looked somewhat graceful at this moment.
She frowned and stuttered: "You, why are you like this?"
It seemed to be accusing Ye Xuan of this random operation, but because the tone was too light, the accusation contained in it became extremely weak.
Ye Xuan looked confused, wondering what he had done to make the blind girl act like this.
I don’t even know what the blind girl’s current condition is.
The blind girl's consciousness seemed to be recovering and she was able to communicate with Ye Xuan normally, but Ye Xuan looked at her heart and soul, and it was clear that there was no movement at all.
So, who is controlling her body now?
He looked sideways at the thread of cause and effect that tightly entwined himself with the blind girl, and suddenly realized something——
Cause and effect.
I was the one who took over her cause and effect before, and now this thread of cause and effect implicates me with her again.
Her heart and soul have not yet recovered, so what is talking to me now is the consciousness projection left by these causal threads in her body?
Listen to what 'she' has to say.
"I regard you as my savior, you, why do you want to harm me?" The whites and blacks of the blind girl's eyes gradually became clearer, and her tone was full of grievances, "Why did you put this mark on me?
You make it impossible for me to leave..."
"Where are you going?" Ye Xuanfu asked from the bottom of his heart.
"Go to the next place, where I should go." The blind goddess looked blank.
Ye Xuan asked her where the next place was, but she couldn't answer. She thought hard for a long time, and suddenly smiled innocently: "Do you want to see where I have been in the past?"
Looking at her smile, Ye Xuan felt at ease in his heart. Just when he was about to nod in agreement, another warning sign suddenly knocked on his heart!
In the blind girl's Niwan Palace, cracks gradually appeared in her heart and soul.
Colorful light poured in from those gaps, filling her heart and soul.
At the same time, these causal threads did not give Ye Xuan time to say no, and turned around one after another. The colorful brilliance invaded along the causal threads, staining the Buddha's light around Ye Xuan into chaos, and it was no longer the same as before.
The light shines!
'Memories' like a torrent were carried by those colorful lights and poured into Ye Xuan's consciousness.
His consciousness was instantly lost in this vast and endless river.
Countless causes and effects turned into arms, densely clinging to Ye Xuan's heart and soul!
Ye Xuan was immersed in these memories and couldn't extricate himself!
He saw many 'selves', and many of them were the blind girl herself.
In one life, a blind girl was stabbed in the back by a ghost vulture and her body was exposed in the wilderness.
The next day, a slender figure walked out of the rotting corpse, gradually growing into the appearance of a blind girl;
In one life, a blind girl was killed and cooked by thugs in a miserable land.
The next day, a graceful girl emerged from the skin of a certain murderer;
These memories follow a certain pattern, telling the story of the endless cycle of life and death, as if the blind girl is the reincarnation itself.
In each reincarnation, she was reborn with a graceful posture, and then returned to death when she was the most shriveled and thin.
In this reincarnation, her heart and soul have always remained eternally black, like a pool of stagnant water that can sink all memories and forget all profound things.
If you just walk in this repeated memory, anyone will get lost, go crazy, lose all your mind, and eventually turn into another blank blind girl.
Fortunately, Ye Xuan found some familiar things in his repeated memories.
It is these things that help him anchor himself in the torrent of memories of the blind girl and prevent him from sinking forever.
In a certain memory, he saw the basement where he first met the blind girl.
There are many tools placed in the basement, and a thin figure is sitting among them, with the "General Compendium of the Yellow Spring Heart Sutra" spread out on his lap. He seems to be meditating on this classic, but in fact he has lost all vitality.
Ye Xuan walked closer to look at the figure and raised her chin.
It was completely different from what he imagined.
He did not see the face of the blind girl's brother. The face he saw now belonged to the blind girl herself.
Therefore, the blind girl never had a brother.
She has always been herself.
Every time she 'dies', as far as she is concerned, it is the death of her 'brother'?
People cannot see their own death from the perspective of a bystander, but they can see the death of others.
That's why the blind girl has this long river of massive memory fragments, and she can quickly accept these memories, because for her, she just watched or experienced the death of others.
And she can live forever, and her mind will not be destroyed and her heart and soul will be crazy because of the repeated reincarnations of life and death - her heart and soul are also the eternal blackness!
Who is the blind girl?
Who is she?
Even though I am anchoring my nature in this torrent of memories, I will not sink.
But how do I escape from this chaotic place of cause and effect, how do I completely get rid of the cause and effect that the blind girl has been trapped in countless reincarnations?
Don't panic...
Ye Xuan recalled the past in his mind, not only to help himself stabilize his soul and completely anchor his self in the torrent, but also to find something from his own memory that could help him solve the current predicament.
He remembered that he had such a thing.
There is such a memory.
But when I recalled it carefully now, I couldn't find anything.
Is it that mysterious existence from Buddhism that is causing trouble behind my back and taking away my memory?
Ye Xuan was extremely angry, but there was nothing he could do!
This feeling of being manipulated as a chess piece is very bad, but if you don't have the strength, you can't escape from the chessboard, or even overturn the chessboard!
Wow! Wow!
The torrent of memory suddenly surged at this time, constantly flooding Ye Xuan's heart and soul. He was forced to continue to experience the blind girl's memory. During this time and time again, his self-consciousness was gradually worn away and was about to disappear completely.
Ye Xuan transformed into another blind girl.
Save yourself! Save yourself!
Ye Xuan's last thoughts roared wildly in the torrent. He struggled hard and gathered all his consciousness. In the end, he actually found a fragment of his memory:
Yuan Qingling walked out of the white light, her mouth opened slightly, dignified and charming...
She was saying something to Ye Xuan, but Ye Xuan couldn't hear it clearly at this time.
But as Ye Xuan's consciousness became more concentrated and as firm as a diamond, her voice finally became clearer and became more grand: "You must understand existence and non-existence in order to resolve cause and effect and regain freedom.
If you want to pick it up, you have to put it down.
If you want to remember, you have to completely forget.”
Only by understanding existence and non-existence can we resolve cause and effect and regain our freedom!
Comprehend the existence and non-existence!
Yes or no!
Click!
Suddenly, Ye Xuan heard a very subtle sound.
Then, a gap appeared in the middle of the torrent of memories, and through that gap, Ye Xuan saw the blind girl with a beautiful smile.
At a glance, the blind girl with a bright smile that Ye Xuan had never seen before suddenly disappeared. Endless darkness surged out from the crack, first flooding Ye Xuan's heart and soul.
Another voice sounded in his mind: "Where does everything in the world come from?
The source comes from existence.
Everything is born out of nothing.”
All things in the world originate from existence, and "existence" is born from nothingness.
Only when there is something can there be nothing, and only when there is nothing can there be something.
There is nothing, there is nothing, that’s what it means!
It turns out that the realm of cultivation in the Heart Sutra of the Underworld Demonic Way is actually this solution!
Ye Xuan suddenly realized.
If you hear the Tao in the morning, you will die in the evening.
He allowed the billowing darkness and the endless torrent of memories to drown him, and just died in the wash of memories.
The grass and trees bear flowers, but the flowers wither after a few days.
The petals fall into mud and the seeds sink into the soil.
Insects are hiding under the earth, and above the earth, there seems to be no life at all. There is only silent blackness.
It was as if the current torrent had submerged Ye Xuan's heart and soul. In this endless torrent, Ye Xuan only retained the purest self, turned into a seed, and allowed the torrent to wash away, going east to west, stumbling, in this endless death.
'In, give birth to a little new life.
Reaching the extreme of emptiness, keeping still and sincere, all things are working together, and I will observe them again. All things are like clouds, and they all return to their roots.
This is the first state of the three mental states contained in the general outline of the Huangquan Heart Sutra: the state of 'death'.
Ye Xuan has completed his cultivation.
When he opened his eyes again, he was still sitting cross-legged on the foundation of his house. The Buddha's light spread around him turned into colorful colors, and threads of cause and effect shuttled back and forth, spreading everywhere.
It seems that the Buddha's light no longer has the power it once had.
With a single thought in his mind, all the cause and effect in the sky that polluted the Buddha's light died.
The colorful colors that filled the Buddha's light were all dissolved, and together with the many causes and effects, they were all reduced to ashes.
From then on, any existence that wants to contaminate Ye Xuan with cause and effect must first break through his realm of death. However, if it breaks through the realm of death, it may trigger the second level of "life" contained in the general outline of the Huangquan Heart Sutra.
territory'.
Moreover, Ye Xuan will now have more means than before to evade the search for mysterious entities hidden behind the scenes and tamper with his own memory.
