Chapter 41 Divine Soul Quiet
"Think about it now, I was too stupid and ignorant at that time.
I actually thought that the strength gap between me and Xinhui could be made up for by sneak attacking behind my back. I didn’t even hurt him with one strike. I didn’t escape far, so I was caught and threw it back into the formation.”
As he spoke, his tone turned, his eyes filled with hatred and said with a sinister and fierce laughter.
"I really should continue to pretend, learn his cultivation methods and magic from him, and then try to kill him!"
"Fish demon!"
Le Chi shouted angrily, clenched his fists, and couldn't control his anger in his heart.
"What, do you want to kill me? If you want to kill me, you can kill me!"
The fish demon raised his head without fear, looked at Chi with deep resentment, and sneered.
"The things you said have been deeply engraved in my mind for a hundred years.
I can't use you to help me recall it!"
"Do you still want to save me?"
After pausing, the fish demon said a Buddhist verse in a sarcastic tone.
"Put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha?"
"Since the story has begun, the little monk will naturally finish it, with a beginning and an end."
Lechi suppressed his anger again, closed his eyes and shook his head.
Lu Qi listened aside, his eyes moving slightly.
He knew that Chi Bukan told the past instead, and insisted on finishing the past. He probably didn't expect that he would have any misunderstandings about his master's heart after listening to the previous words of the fish demon.
Lu Qi nodded secretly.
It can be seen that when Le Chi mentioned his heart back, he rarely showed feelings, and seemed to be deliberately suppressing it. Now his emotions are stimulated and violently fluctuated, and it is difficult to suppress it anymore. The respect for Ru Mu who is reborn is revealed. No one is allowed to disrespect him who died, nor do anyone want anyone to misunderstand him who died in the end.
The fish demon said before that just because of a joke, Xin Hui sealed him at the bottom of the river for a hundred years.
I was afraid that if I didn't tell Lu Qi the whole story of the matter in front of Yu Yao, the man who was back then, I was afraid that Lu Qi would randomly suspicious and misunderstand his master who had already transformed into a destiny.
While talking about the events of the previous years to the fish demon, he did not give up the last possibility of transforming the fish demon. In fact, he was also telling Lu Qi about the events of the past.
"After the master locked you back into the formation, he spent a few more years trying to teach you.
But after you reveal your true thoughts, you no longer pretend.
When you see your master, you keep attacking, and you will tear all the Buddhist scriptures and you will not be able to communicate at all!
After working hard for a few years, it was useless and the teacher had to give up temporarily."
"If you are released, there may be creatures slaughtered, so the master has to continue sealing you at the bottom of the river.
Before he left, he left you a few stone tablets engraved with Buddhist scriptures, hoping that you can recite Buddhist scriptures to dissolve the resentment and hostility in your heart.
After that, every once in a while, the teacher will go and quietly look at you, hoping that you will change.
But every time you see you, you are irritated and destroying and venting everywhere at the bottom of the river. The stone tablets engraved with Buddhist scriptures have long been broken by you.
After several times, the master completely gave up.
He felt that the previous ten years had caused too much harm to you and could no longer be compensated.
You are full of resentment towards him and humanity, and you cannot listen to anything else.
The teacher felt guilty and would never see you again."
After sighing, he finally told the complete story of the past.
"Ten years, do you know how I lived that decade?!
Lingzhi lost his freedom as soon as he opened up, was locked in the bottom of the dark river, and was accompanied by the mud and rotten grass all day long!"
Even when I was still a little fish in a daze, darkness and loneliness were tormenting me every day, making me crazy!”
The fish demon's face was full of resentment and he sneered and roared.
"I taught me to read and recognize words for two years, recite Buddhist scriptures, and tell me some useless principles, so I wanted me to let go of all the torture and pain before forgiving him.
Delusion!
"I wish I could eat his meat, drink his blood, and chew his bones!"
"No wonder Chi admits that his master is wrong in his heart."
Lu Qi shook his head secretly from the side.
In his opinion, this matter was indeed a bit wrong.
In fact, ten years are not long, and even if you are imprisoned for so long, it is nothing.
Many prisoners in prison have been imprisoned for ten years or even longer.
But when the fish demon was imprisoned, it was equivalent to the childhood of humans, so it caused such harm to it.
In addition, the fish demon is almost the same as being "unjustly imprisoned". The longer he is imprisoned, the deeper the resentment in his heart.
After ten years, the resentment of the fish demon has been unable to be resolved.
So no matter how much Ren Xinhui makes up for it, it will be futile.
“After that, I was imprisoned at the bottom of the river for ninety years.
Until not long ago, when my power through the formation began to weaken, and I sensed that my heart was dead.
I don't mention how happy I am!
It’s a pity that I’m not dying in my hands, and the place where I am buried is not my fish belly!
What a pity!"
The fish demon paused word by word, gritting his teeth.
Suddenly, he showed a hideous smile again.
“But, it doesn’t matter.
He sealed me at the bottom of the river. I am afraid that one day, when I was destroying and venting, I would pull out an extremely hard jade book from the ground!
"An extremely hard jade book?"
A strange light flashed in Lu Qi's eyes.
"I learned a practice method through that Fang Yu Book and learned several magic tricks!"
"If it weren't for the cultivation method on Fang Yu's list that greatly increased my cultivation speed, I might have died long ago under the self-destruction of the formation you controlled!"
The fish demon continued to speak, looking at Chi with an extremely hatred look.
"Through the spells I learned from the Jade Book, I indirectly killed many people before I died!"
"The causes of the past, today's results!
If I had returned to my original intention and did not seal me at the bottom of the river.
In the past few days, I will not pretend to be a river god and make those people die in order to get out of trouble."
"These sins must be counted on the head of the heart!"
He laughed happily as he spoke, and looked at Chi and mocked him.
"You Buddhism talks about cause and effect and reincarnation, and these sins will not be reborn forever.
But do you think the mind will be thrown into the animal realm in the next life?”
"Will you make a fish like me?"
"Hahaha!"
After that, the fish demon had red eyes and laughed wildly like crazy.
Le Chi had heard the fish demon's offense before, and his eyes were filled with anger, his fists were clenched, and he could hardly control his move.
But when he heard this, he suddenly became silent for some reason and his voice became a little hoarse.
"You may be disappointed, and the master will not enter the cycle of reincarnation."
"Don't enter the cycle of reincarnation?
Has the mind returned to the stage of Arhat Bodhisattva, ascended to the West, and transcended the cycle of reincarnation?"
The fish demon still sneered and mocked.
"When the master sat in the process of transformation, he took the initiative to wipe out his soul.
When entering reincarnation, you must first have souls. Even souls are gone, so how can you talk about reincarnation?"
“…”
The sarcastic smile on the fish demon's face suddenly froze.
"For decades, my master has felt deeply guilty about you, and his cultivation has almost remained the same.
Before he sat down and transformed, he thought he had made such a big mistake and was not worthy of entering the samsara again, so he took the initiative to silence... and died out the soul of the gods, hoping to have some atonement."
Le Chi clasped his hands together, looked sad, closed his eyes, and said hoarsely.
"The soul is extinguished?"
Lu Qi was shocked when he heard this, his eyes changed drastically, and he looked at Chi.
This is even more miserable than never being able to live forever.
At least you cannot be reborn, and you can still be a wandering soul in the underworld.
Once the soul is gone, there will be no next life, and there will be no need to do even the wandering soul!
