Sword Immortal, she convinces people with reason

Chapter 405 Questioning the Heart

In the dim light, Lin Yige saw a dark shadow with an unclear face standing in front of him.

The shadow suddenly spoke up and asked, "I have killed countless people and have been executed, but you are not innocent either. What do you think?"

Its voice is exactly the same as Lin Yige's own voice. No, rather than being similar, it is better to say that it is spoken through Lin Yige's own mouth.

Lin Yige was startled and sober for a moment, but her attention was soon captured by the scene of mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

He was a young general, covered in blood, full of vigor and vitality, leading his troops to charge.

As soon as he thrust his spear, three or four heads appeared on the spear like candied haws.

With a swing of the spear, the heads fell to the ground.

The soldiers following closely behind were already accustomed to it. They took turns to step forward to confirm life or death, and cut off an ear and stuffed it into a cloth bag around their waists to be counted after the battle.

Then a few more people came forward, groping and picking among the corpses, occasionally picking up knives to cut off tendons and collecting them in one place.

Lin Yige felt nauseous in his stomach, and instantly remembered the identity of this young man - a Confucian monk from Wenxin Academy, who entered the world to cultivate himself, but treated mortals like animals, slaughtering and cooking them at will.

His glorious military achievements outweigh his inhumane methods.

These were not what Lin Yige saw with her own eyes, but what she knew through soul searching, so she felt more immersive.

If she hadn't happened to meet him during her training and heard him talking about the most beautiful taste in the world, Lin Yige wouldn't have approached him to start a conversation and ended up finding out such a brutal secret.

As sword cultivators, when we see injustice, we must take action!

Afterwards, Lin Yige treated the man in the same way he treated ordinary people, and even cut off his ears and dig out his legs.

Lin Yige snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Now that you have been executed, why are you still disturbing my mood?"

  Then she will kill again!

Thinking of this, Lin Yige squeezed out a thread of energy from his exhausted sea of ​​consciousness and attacked the black shadow.

The black shadow suddenly disappeared.

In a short while, they gathered again about ten feet away.

At this time, Lin Yige's already exhausted sea of ​​consciousness was made worse. He could not draw out any more energy and could not even open the storage ring.

The Dantian was also empty, and the spiritual power did not recover as expected.

The black shadow lingered around, and the four giant snail servants were about to devour the mirage monster, but there was no response from Geng Xin.

Could it be that Lin Yige is going to die in the snail's mouth today?

Just as he was thinking, the black shadow spoke up again, "I have also subdued demons and saved people. I have sown good deeds and should have received good results. The people are grateful and burn incense and pray for me. But you want to kill me. How can this be justified? You are dying here today. You are reaping what you sow!"

When Lin Yige heard this theory of cause and effect and saw the memory of the people worshipping him, he immediately thought of this evil monk who was crying "stop thief"!

At first, he captured a monster that was harming the people, and adhering to the commandment not to kill, he sealed the monster in a deep and desperate pool.

The people were naturally grateful and erected a golden statue for him, offering incense and worshiping him every day to accumulate merit.

As human life is short, the incense will fade away in a dozen years.

As a result, the evil monk deliberately broke the seal and released the monster.

In this way, incense became prosperous again.

"Go on." Lin Yige listened while distracting himself from recovering his consciousness and spiritual power. He said expressionlessly, "I want to hear what you have to say about the crime that even Buddhist disciple Zhongshu has not asked about."

  No matter how she honestly examines her conscience, Lin Yige has done nothing wrong to the world!

What kind of practice and Buddhist attainments did the Buddhist disciples of Kongjue Temple have? At most, people would advise her to "put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha right away" or "the sea of ​​suffering is boundless and it is time to turn back", but they dared not stop her from killing these evil people.

The black shadow was silent for a moment, and then began to babble about "his own difficulties", accusing Lin Yige of excessive means and not giving him a chance to repent.

Lin Yige rubbed his forehead, letting it go in one ear and out the other, gradually understanding the nature of the black shadow.

Every time the soul-searching technique is performed, a large section of the other person's memory will be read.

However, memory is connected to the cultivator's soul, so it is inevitable that it will be tainted with some of the cultivator's soul's residual thoughts.

Countless souls have died under Lin Yige's sword. A drop of water gathers into a river. A little lingering thought is harmless, but under the nourishment of the violent energy generated by the killing sword intent, hundreds of lingering thoughts gather together and may become this kind of "evil thought".

When spiritual consciousness is exhausted and spiritual energy is empty, evil thoughts will take advantage of the opportunity to sneak in.

If I hadn't been so resolute, I would have probably been possessed by the devil and gone astray.

The black shadow over there muttered for a long time, and seeing that Lin Yige had not wavered, it turned into a black mist and forcibly occupied her sea of ​​consciousness.

Ink-black drops of water fell, gradually moistening the dried-up sea of ​​consciousness.

Lin Yige had just recovered a little bit of his consciousness, but was contaminated in an instant.

It was as if his soul was split in half, and then salt was sprinkled on it and fire was set on it. Lin Yige felt dizzy and almost broke his teeth.

I can't care about much.

Lin Yige hardened his heart and decided to take drastic measures, drawing out the last bit of spiritual power in his body to cut out the polluted part of his sea of ​​consciousness along with the evil thoughts.

Whether it is his ease in soul-searching or his ability to reunite the soul for reincarnation, it all depends on Lin Yige's powerful soul.

This spiritual power that is difficult for ordinary people to utilize is also the original power of cultivators.

If you are not careful, your soul may be damaged, your cultivation will no longer improve, and your lifespan will be shortened.

If his spiritual consciousness has not yet been exhausted, Lin Yige can still drive the evil thoughts out of his sea of ​​consciousness, infuse and seal them into the phantom puppet, and then make plans.

But now, as his consciousness recovers a little, he is infected a little. As the situation deteriorates, he has to drive out the evil thoughts before they can suppress his soul.

Lin Yige looked down at Geng Xin, but the purple bamboo whip still had no reaction.

She sighed, and without hesitation, she drew out the spiritual power hidden deep in her heart meridians, turned it into the shape of a small knife, and flowed upstream along the meridians into the sea of ​​consciousness.

The small knife formed by the power of the soul pierced deeply into the sea of ​​consciousness!

After a period of unbearable soreness and swelling, Lin Yige screamed and spat out a ball of dirty blood, which was surrounded by wisps of black air.

Lin Yige held on, silently reciting the magic formula to forcibly close his sea of ​​consciousness, while guiding the power of his soul back to his heart.

Although closing the sea of ​​consciousness can prevent the evil thoughts from coming back, it will also make it impossible to sense Geng Xin, and it is difficult to detect the intentions of the giant snail monster in the distance.

Most of Lin Yige's unnecessary memories, including the evil thoughts, were removed along with the infected sea of ​​consciousness, and his chaotic thoughts instantly became clear.

Although the memory cannot be completely erased, the details of each atrocity can no longer be recalled. Only vague images remain, which will no longer flash up unexpectedly and disturb Lin Yige's mood.

In order to recover his consciousness and spiritual power as quickly as possible, Lin Yige simply sat on the ground and circulated his Qi in his body.

Unexpectedly, just after completing one cycle of the Qi, Lin Yige felt a sharp pain in his heart and could not hold on any longer, and fainted completely.
