042 Covenant
"Accurate...is it you..."
The woman standing in front of me gently stretched out her hand and held my palm that was parked in the air.
When I touched her hand, I felt unprecedented warmth and familiarity. I didn't understand why the woman in front of me made me feel this way. I only know that this woman has never appeared in my memory or correct memory.
"Female donor...please respect yourself."
I struggled to pull my hand out of the woman's hand, slowly stood up, folded my hands together, and bowed slightly.
"You...how did you become like this?" The woman seemed unable to believe what was happening in front of her. She still stood up persistently, trying to grab my hand again.
I moved my steps and took a step back half a step, leaving no chance for the woman.
"Amitabha, the person whom the female donor is thinking of has now become the mortal world. I have never met the female donor, and I do not know what the female donor said."
When I said this, I didn’t know why my heart was in a state of pain, as if my heart was stormed. I have never felt this feeling before.
"No... it's impossible. He won't leave. He won't leave me. You are him... you are him, right?" Jiang Bing couldn't control himself. He shook his head in disheartened grief, stepped forward, and rushed into my arms.
I was at a loss and wanted to push her body away, but a trace of obsession in my heart failed to do what I wanted.
I gritted my teeth and turned my head away, put down my hands, and did not reach out to bring her into my arms.
"I know... I know you did so much for me. I know..." Jiang Bing hid in my arms, shook her head vigorously, and her hands tightly grasped my clothes.
I know very well that she now longs for me to take her into my arms and hug her tightly.
But I didn't do that. I still don't understand who she is, and why I feel reluctant to let go of her.
This feeling comes from accuracy, but I can't remember this woman in his memory, and who she is...
"From the beginning when you came to the Netherworld to save me, I learned from Aoki Sanlangjun that you were the reincarnation of Tanta Ksitigarbha. I don't believe that you would be Tanta Ksitigarbha. In my eyes, you are an ordinary mortal. You have no ambition to sacrifice yourself to save the people of the world, and you have no desire for fame and fortune. I know your thoughts, and I also know what you are pursuing in the end..."
"You just want to stay with the person you love forever. You just want to stay away from the world and live in seclusion in the mountains and forests..."
I stood quietly and listened to her continued speaking. What she said was indeed exactly what she thought, at least...at least I can feel it now.
"I also want to... I also want to live in seclusion with you in the mountains and forests, living in a quiet place, but asking about everything in the world, being a pair of mandarin ducks that fly together, even if they are a pair of miserable mandarin ducks... But I can't, I can't do this. Because... because I know, I know that you are the reincarnation of Tanta Ksitigarbha, and you have the heavy responsibility. If I force you to cut off your retreat, how can this world be safe..."
The wet cheeks made me stunned in a daze.
I...I cried...
I actually shed tears.
No, this is not my tears, this is correct... it is correct.
I forced all this to be accurate, but...but I understand that I am accurate now...
"You are too self-righteous, you are really self-righteous. Do you really think I don't know the promise you and Daojue made? In order to save my life, you bet on your own hundred years of time. I know all this... I know it very well in my heart. But... but I can't do anything, because I know that all this will not come true. If you can really spend a hundred years in the Taoist temple, I will willingly stay with you. But... but this will not be realized in the end, because you will eventually become Tanta Ksitigarbha, just like... like now..."
The clothes that were held tightly were slowly released, and Jiang Bing in his arms gently escaped from my arms. She stood in front of me, with her face so close.
"You are crying..." Jiang Bing smiled miserably, stretched out his hand and gently stroked the tears on my face.
Although her hands were very cold and cold, I could feel warmth when I touched my face, which came from my heart.
"You shouldn't cry. You are a man who stands tall and strong. How can a man cry easily? I am the one who should cry..."
All the tears on her face were wiped away by her. I remained unmoved and stood quietly waiting for her to continue talking.
"You don't hesitate to let go of everything in the world for me, but you look for the so-called Buddhist bead relic. Jiang Bing remembers this love in his heart. Since he cannot repay this life, then use Jiang Bing's three lives to repay your love..."
"I don't want to ask for anything, I don't want to expect anything. I just want to ask you, do you still remember me?"
She slowly raised her head, and the clear Muzi made me feel lost for some reason.
She said that the person who should cry was not me, but her. Then why didn't she shed a single tear? Could it be... Isn't it worth a tear in her heart?
"He won't remember you."
It was not me who spoke, but Zhao Jiyou who had never shown up.
Walking out of the darkness, Zhao Jiyou knelt in front of me without hesitation and said, "Dixin went to the six paths to retrieve the golden body. Zhao Jiyou stayed by the Three Lives Stone. Shortly after Dixin left, Emperor Xin ruled the world and disturbed the underworld in all directions. Emperor Xin called for millions of souls and promised millions of souls to be reincarnated in the dust. None of millions of souls was different when he heard Emperor Xin called for the ghosts and gods to fight against the underworld in all directions. Emperor Xin carried the ten palaces of Yanjun with his own strength, and then tied the ten palaces of Yanjun in the palace. Emperor Xin robbed the mirror of the prehistoric world and ordered millions of souls to guard Fengdu alone."
"In front of Emperor Xin's disturbing the underworld in all directions, Meng Po knew that Zhao Jiyou was transformed by the hell pestle and was highly useful to Ksitigarbha, so he hid Zhao Jiyou under the Forgetful River. Now that Ksitigarbha's golden body has returned, Zhao Jiyou appears to assist Ksitigarbha to create great causes and quell the rebellion in the underworld!"
"He...he doesn't remember me?" I believe Jiang Bing is not interested in everything Zhao Jiyou said. She just wants to know if I remember her now.
But the fact is just as Zhao Jiyou said.
"Dixian said right, it has been transformed into the mortal world, and I won't remember you..." Zhao Jiyou turned his head and looked at Jiang Bing and shook his head resolutely.
Jiang Bing retreated in a daze, and accidentally fell to the ground. Her eyes looked at me were full of desire: "No... impossible, he will not forget me..."
"If he forgets me, how could he remember you?"
Zhao Jiyou glanced at me, took a deep breath and said, "Zhuozheng had mastered the relics before, but unfortunately his six senses were not pure and his mind was not strong. If he forcibly used the magic power in the relics, he would become possessed and out of control.Zhuozheng was trapped by love, but he had to save you. In order to save you... he did not hesitate to drink Meng Po's love-forgetful water, forgetting you and Jingzheng's all kinds of things..."
"Forgetful Water..."
I suddenly realized and understood everything completely.
Jingzheng is trapped by love. If I use the magic power I left behind, I will definitely become possessed. In order not to become possessed, Jingzheng drank the water of forgetting love and forgot the woman in front of me.
"He...he really doesn't remember me?" Jiang Bing shook his head sadly, unable to believe everything in front of him, and still asked Zhao Jiyou with a lucky mentality.
Zhao Jiyou nodded firmly and said, "I don't remember..."
"Amitabha." I clasped my hands together and recited the Buddha's name lightly: "I have already told the female donor that the person he recited has been transformed into the mortal world, so I ask the female donor not to recite too much."
The resolute tone made me feel the heart-wrenching pain.
When I said this, I could clearly feel the correct memories in my mind constantly struggling to fight, as if I was about to break out of my shackles.
"Impossible...he won't forget me...no..."
Jiang Bing fell to the ground, shook her head in dismay, and her face was still unbelievable.
I didn't go to see Jiang Bing anymore, turned to stare at Zhao Jiyou and said, "You have decided to show up. Are you willing to turn into a pestle?"
"Zhao Jiyou has already settled everything and is willing to turn into a pestle!" Zhao Jiyou bowed to me respectfully.
I nodded heavily and was about to look at the arrogant Emperor Xin on the city wall, but a beautiful figure stood in front of me.
"Can you...can you let me hug you again?"
Before I could speak, Jiang Bing threw himself into my arms again.
My hand hanging slowly placed it on Jiang Bing's back. I could clearly feel Jiang Bing's body trembling slightly. Before I could come back to my senses, Jiang Bing lay in my ear and whispered softly.
I suddenly pushed Jiang Bing away. Just as I was about to speak, I saw an iron chain attacking from Fengdu City.
The iron chain tightly wrapped around Jiang Bing's waist. With Di Xin waved his arm, the iron chain and even Jiang Bing flew towards Fengdu City.
I immediately reached out and typed a Buddha seal, trying to compete with Di Xin. Di Xin didn't take me seriously at all. With a light wave of his hand, the Buddha seal I made was self-defeating and dissipated in the underworld in all directions.
I staggered back several steps until my feet fell deeply into the ground before I stopped.
"The four words "Jun Wu Ji" are not to say that even if the emperor has the emperor's destiny, the word "Jun" will definitely be able to take responsibility. Now I have found eight relics. Why did the emperor go back on his word?!"
Although I was angry in my heart, I still looked at Emperor Xin calmly.
Emperor Xin pondered for a while and looked at me and said, "Will Ksitigarbha be willing to integrate the eight relics into one?"
"..." I stared at Di Xin tightly, and I didn't say anything for a long time.
Emperor Xin chuckled and said, "Gu had promised Dizang in the past. Finding eight relics is when you saw her. Gu did not say that he would let her go. Now Dizang has found eight relics. When he saw her, Gu will complete it. If Dizang wants to save her, he must integrate the eight relics into one!"
Why can't I know what Di Xin beats?
If I integrate the eight relics into one, I will inevitably be reincarnated as a Buddha and become a true Ksitigarbha.
But at that time, what I was dealing with was not only Di Xin, but also countless evil souls and evil thoughts in the hell path.
If you can't control it, it's only a matter of time to destroy the three realms.
I looked down at the seven relics, resolutely put the seven relics into my sleeves, and raised my head to look at Di Xin.
"The emperor just wants to rescue Daji. If I release Daji, would you like to release Jiang Bing?"
