Volume 4: The Other Shore Chapter 940: The Heart of Tao Contaminated by Dust
Behind Gu Xiaoxing, Siming was bound by Dao Hai. He tried to struggle but to no avail, and the look on his face became more and more ferocious and crazy.
But the moment he heard Ji Xiaoling's voice and saw Ji Xiaoling's figure, the madness in his eyes suddenly turned into fear, just like a sinner meeting a tyrant, and his heart was filled with endless panic!
Ji Xiaoling just stared at Gu Xiaoxing, and seeing that he just stood there and didn't answer her questions, she couldn't help but tilt her head. The curiosity and innocence in her eyes became stronger, but she suddenly asked questions that didn't match her cute appearance.
"Little brother, are you here to kill me?"
Her voice was clear, without any scheming or color, just a sincere inquiry from the heart.
But it was this sincerity that made Gu Xiaoxing look complicated. He opened his lips slightly, but found it difficult to answer this question.
Because he saw the shadow of Lu Linger in Ji Xiaoling, whether it was the familiar face or the title of "little brother".
Especially the other party's innocent look, which reminded Gu Xiaoxing of the time when he first met Lu Ling'er, when she was also like this.
He originally came to kill her and take her away, but when he saw Ji Xiaoling like this, Gu Xiaoxing felt a complicated feeling in his heart!
Especially when he saw the headdress that looked like an alchemy furnace between Ji Xiaoling's long hair, the word "Ling'er" came to his mind subconsciously.
But when these two words came to Ji Xiaoling, her eyes immediately brightened up, and she asked excitedly, "How do you know my name is Ling'er? Do you recognize Ling'er, little brother?"
Gu Xiaoxing took a step forward, left Daohai, looked at Ji Xiaoling, thought for a moment and said, "Don't you remember what happened before?"
“I don’t remember!”
Ji Xiaoling's eyes flashed with a trace of loneliness, but soon revealed an expectant smile, looking at Gu Xiaoxing, eyes as bright as stars, "Brother, can you tell Ling'er about the past?"
Gu Xiaoxing stared at the other person in a daze. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether the "past" she was referring to was Ji Xiaoling's past or Lu Ling'er's past!
But deep down in his heart, Gu Xiaoxing still understood that the past she mentioned must be the former!
The person in front of him was undoubtedly Ji Xiaoling. It could only be said that it was fate that made her fall after failing to impact the sixth ancient realm. She fell and became a selfless evil spirit, but after her resurrection, she forgot the past!
So is she still Ji Xiaoling?
Gu Xiaoxing raised his head silently, trying to see Yang Shang above the sky through layers of red clouds, but he was unable to penetrate it and could only see scattered faint lights.
There are infinite possibilities between life and death. Apart from true death which cannot be resurrected, in the eyes of Gu Xiaoxing in the past, resurrecting a person is very difficult!
And now, Gu Xiaoxing has seen many means of resurrection, and it seems that resurrecting a person is not difficult!
But the closer he got to his destination, the more confused Gu Xiaoxing became!
Just like his eyes at this moment, he could not penetrate the red clouds and could not see the sky. The resurrected Ji Xiaoling in front of him suddenly made Gu Xiaoxing have a question in his heart.
"Is it true that the so-called complete her that I have always wanted to revive is only the her in my mind, and not the real her?"
Gu Xiaoxing never believed in the concept of past and present lives. He believed that a person’s three lives were actually three different people. Although they were related by cause and effect, they existed independently of each other!
Memory is just a trace of a person's existence in the world!
Could it be that if the memories of the previous life are awakened in this life, then everything in this life can be negated and the previous life can become this life and replace this life?
Isn't this just a matter of accidentally picking up traces of the previous life in this life?
In the previous life, he was already dead!
Once dead, you are dead!
And isn’t this also a kind of true death?
Like Ji Xiaoling at this moment, even if she suddenly recalled the past one day, it only means that she has picked up fragments of Xiaoling's memories from the last century.
Perhaps she will be greatly affected and changed by this memory, but Ji Xiaoling from her previous life will never be able to replace her!
This is similar to an evil method that Gu Xiaoxing had heard of before, called the memory possession method, which uses one's own memory to possess the body of another and take control of their thoughts.
But in fact, the person who took over the body is already dead. The so-called memory taking over is nothing more than using one's own memory to change other people's minds.
In fact, this can no longer be called possession of another's body, but rather a kind of ideological transformation that involves the fusion of memories!
This is also true for past and present lives!
The reason why Gu Xiaoxing suddenly thought of all these things was not because he was being pretentious, but because what he saw and felt made him suddenly have this thought!
The heart of Tao is often like this, the purest and the most complex, the dirtiest and the most flawless!
It seems that as long as you remain steadfast and keep moving forward in the direction of your heart, everything will be fine. However, along the way, there are countless obstacles and confusions!
In order to achieve what one desires, one can obviously use any means necessary, commit all kinds of evil, and kill all the people in the world, but the heart that pursues the Tao will never be tarnished!
Once you are stained by dust, you will be trapped in danger and fall into fog!
Just like Gu Xiaoxing at this moment, he felt confused. He suddenly didn't know what he should do to truly revive a person!
The words that made countless people despair once again echoed in his mind.
Once dead, there is no resurrection!
"Little brother?"
The crisp voice rang out again, and Ji Xiaoling looked at Gu Xiaoxing strangely, as if wondering what the other person was looking at and what he was thinking.
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Ji Xiaoling again and said, "Before that, can you tell me about your story first?"
"Of course!"
Ji Xiaoling nodded happily and came to Gu Xiaoxing, "Ling'er has been alone for a long time. I thought that little brother was here to kill Ling'er like them!"
Gu Xiaoxing asked: "Who are they? Why do they want to kill you?"
"Ling'er doesn't know either. Ling'er doesn't like fighting and killing."
Ji Xiaoling shook her head, and then continued: "Ling'er only knows that they are just like little brother, they all came from outside."
Gu Xiaoxing immediately understood that the people Ji Xiaoling was talking about should be the Great Free and Easy Realm cultivators from other Dao Universes in Huang Fuchen!
But at this moment, Ji Xiaoling looked at Siming. Just this one look made the fear in Siming's eyes become everything!
Gu Xiaoxing watched this scene, and with a thought, the sea of Dao that enveloped Siming naturally dissipated. However, Siming, who was freed from his restraints, did not escape. Instead, he could not help but tremble and shiver.
Ji Xiaoling looked at Siming angrily and said, "How many times have I told you to hide on the boat and not run around, or it will eat you!"
After she finished speaking, Ji Xiaoling waved slightly at Siming, and then a scarlet air continuously overflowed from Siming's seven orifices and was finally absorbed into Ji Xiaoling's palm.
As the scarlet air overflowed, the blood-colored lines on Siming's body quickly faded, and his cultivation aura was also constantly diminishing.
Obviously, the reason why Siming can reach such a level of cultivation has a lot to do with this scarlet aura.
And these scarlet air comes from the endless blood-red clouds in this world. It can corrode the body and erode the mind.
Just as Ji Xiaoling said, it will eat people!
Gu Xiaoxing looked at Ji Xiaoling deeply, looking at this girl whose heart was pure and innocent.
"Maybe I can find the answer from her!"
