Chapter 269: If the End Comes (Part 2)

~13 min read 2,504 words

Little Wei Yuan was about to dodge when suddenly another palpitation occurred, the earth vibrated slightly, and a strange feeling of cold and heat intertwined swept across the two people's bodies.

This was searching the world with great supernatural power. Little Wei Yuan immediately restrained his aura and remained motionless.

The Jin Gang's divine sense went back and forth several times, still unwilling to give up, and scanned twice more fiercely before it stopped appearing. Little Wei Yuan wanted to take a long breath, and then found that his mouth had been blocked early on.

Little Wei Yuan was somewhat annoyed; why was she still messing around at this life-and-death moment? He pushed the young girl away and carefully probed his divine sense to see what was happening outside.

But his divine sense didn't probe out more than a few zhang upward before he suddenly felt scorching heat and had to retreat. That heat had the power of Glazed Pure Fire, which caused extra damage to the divine sense, making Little Wei Yuan dare not touch it.

Calculating the distance, the heat had penetrated more than two zhang into the soil. What happened on the ground? Could it be that the Dharma-protecting Jin Gang started burning the mountain?

The mountain was not empty. There were many small animals hiding in the grass and forests, some listening to scriptures day and night, having already opened their spirituality. In this realm, these would be regarded as spirit beasts, and even if they were weak by nature, they would be carefully cultivated.

If he was really burning the mountain, wouldn't that be slaughtering sentient beings?

If he couldn't go out above, then there was only below. Little Wei Yuan probed his divine sense downward. This time, it was bottomless, and he probed for dozens of zhang, all of which were mountain rocks.

Little Wei Yuan was calculating the distance, comparing it with the terrain in his memory, wanting to see if he could dig a passage out from underground, preferably opening the exit on the cliff. But when his divine sense probed down to a hundred zhang, almost reaching his limit, he suddenly perceived a kind of cold, icy aura. This aura was indescribably evil, and getting slightly close would make Little Wei Yuan feel shuddering.

This was simply wolves above and tigers below. Little Wei Yuan was somewhat frantic; what kind of ghostly place was this?

However, he trusted his intuition quite a bit. There were very few things that could make his intuition have such strong fear. The outer-realm walker he saw in the Ghost Cold Realm back then was one.

The Buddha light and fierce fire above were still okay. When probing, at least the Moon Laurel Immortal Tree was still swaying normally. But as soon as he approached the cold evil below, even the Moon Laurel Immortal Tree was like encountering time standing still, motionless, and the sword aura stopped in the air. From this, Little Wei Yuan knew that the bottom was even more untouchable.

Just as he was troubled, the young girl climbed up again, wanting to taste a few more bites.

Little Wei Yuan said angrily, "We are about to die, and you still have the mood to mess around?"

The young girl said, "It's because we are about to die that we have to mess around! Once we are really dead, we won't be able to mess around anymore..."

Little Wei Yuan was startled and actually felt it made some sense. Originally, he wasn't someone who would give up easily, but who knew he would be forced into such a desperate situation. If he really had to die here, he still had too many things he hadn't experienced...

The young girl's body began to twist, heat up, squeeze, and rub, wishing she could drill into Little Wei Yuan's body.

For some reason, being rubbed like this, the fire in Little Wei Yuan's body was ignited, and he couldn't suppress it!

Little Wei Yuan tried his best to resist, constantly shrinking backward, not because he disliked the girl, but because he didn't like himself losing control. It was just that his side was also an arc, and if he shrank up, he would slide down.

The young girl clearly felt Little Wei Yuan's resistance and suddenly smiled lightly. Her voice echoed in Little Wei Yuan's ear like a bell, simply sounding good to the bottom of his heart. She twisted again, and this twist was truly fatal.

Little Wei Yuan took a deep breath, maintaining the last bit of sobriety.

The young girl said, "We are all going to die, why not be happy one last time? Anyway, I am going to marry you."

"Maybe there is still hope, I'll think of another way..."

The young girl was suddenly somewhat angry, "You just think I'm ugly!"

Little Wei Yuan had to comfort her seriously, "Actually, you're just not that good-looking, not ugly."

The young girl had no knife in her hand; if she had one, she probably would have hacked down already. What childhood sweethearts, they all had to be cut off!

However, the young girl didn't move, suddenly smiled lightly, and then placed her finger in front of her eyes, a dim yellow light shining on her fingertip.

The light was very dim, but it was enough to illuminate her face.

This was a face that only appeared in dreams: beautiful, bright, clean, pure to the point of being extremely pure, yet also having arrogance and wildness, making people want to go crazy when they look at it. For example, at this moment, she bit her lower lip and looked at Little Wei Yuan, simply pointing at his nose and provoking him!

The dim light vanished in a flash, but that face had already been imprinted in the bottom of Little Wei Yuan's heart.

"You..." Little Wei Yuan just wanted to say something when his mouth was pressed, and then she said to Little Wei Yuan's ear, "We are about to die and you are still pushing and pulling, are you not capable?"

Could this be tolerated? Little Wei Yuan exploded immediately, turned over, and pressed on top.

Proving oneself is a very difficult thing, but at this moment, Little Wei Yuan didn't understand this truth yet.

In the dark, after a fierce but chaotic and flustered operation, Little Wei Yuan felt that there was not much progress. At this moment, the voice that made him feel itchy all over his body rang in his ear again: "What are you busy with blindly?"

Then she moved, and this was truly fatal. In an instant, Little Wei Yuan felt his primordial spirit fly to the nine heavens, overlooking the Buddha Kingdom Pure Land, thinking about the life of a toad in his previous life.

At this very moment, a scripture flowed through Little Wei Yuan's brain: Movement produces Yang, extreme movement produces stillness, stillness produces Yin, extreme stillness returns to movement. One movement and one stillness...

Little Wei Yuan hadn't realized anything from the profound words of his predecessors yet, when the woman had already returned to movement from extreme stillness, and movement produced Yang.

Little Wei Yuan was forced to fight, life or death.

In the dark, a crisp laugh suddenly rang out, and she said, "So you are still a fledgling!"

Little Wei Yuan was furious!

At this moment, words were empty, and only iron and blood could prove it. But once he was eager, it was easy for something to go wrong. He hadn't suppressed a few rounds when Little Wei Yuan was suddenly startled, calling out "bad" in his heart, and sure enough, it returned to stillness from extreme movement.

A rare time of peace, Little Wei Yuan hurriedly asked, "Can we really not survive?"

"Of course it's true! It's already this time, why would I lie to you..." The woman said while returning to movement from extreme stillness.

In the dark, it was quiet again. Little Wei Yuan seized the time to ask, "When did you recover your consciousness? Did you pretend not to be awake the whole time?"

"This is the Pure Land. Entering here is like encountering the confusion in the womb, only thinking that one is another person. It's you, actually being able to break the confusion in the womb so quickly, it's truly incredible."

Little Wei Yuan asked again, "Confusion in the womb! Then aren't we here to die by entering?"

"This is the next question, I will answer you in the next stage." The woman said, then returned to movement from extreme stillness.

What stage the next stage was, Little Wei Yuan was very clear at this moment, which was the next time he returned to stillness from extreme movement.

In the dark, it was quiet again. Little Wei Yuan seized the time to ask, "Aren't we here to die by entering?"

Having the experience of the Paper Bride, Little Wei Yuan broke through this kind of confusion in the womb very quickly, basically watching the entire process of the small village's change. But no matter how he thought about it, this process was a dead end. After killing the demon king, there was the Dharma-protecting Jin Gang. Even if he killed the Jin Gang, there were likely Arhats and Bodhisattvas behind. This game, let alone Dao foundation, even a True Person would have no return. Little Wei Yuan couldn't understand why he and Xiang Hou had no enmity, so why did he have to kill himself? Did he think that if he died, the teacher wouldn't hack people?

The woman smiled lightly, "Do you think Xiang Hou is harming you?"

"Logically speaking, he shouldn't, his life is much more expensive than mine."

"Originally, we would be killed by the demon king, the Pure Land would shatter, and the reincarnation would end. Then we would enter the small world containing the Luo Han true blood. By then, I would accept the karma, and you would receive the Luo Han true blood inheritance. But who knew you actually broke the confusion in the womb and killed the demon king directly."

"... Then what should we do now?"

"Of course, continue!"

"No, I mean... wait, not this continue..."

Return to movement from extreme stillness.

Finally, it was time to answer the question, but at this moment, Little Wei Yuan's voice and breath were somewhat unstable: "Do we really have no chance to escape?"

!.

"You can't even deal with me, and you want to deal with the Jin Gang?"

Little Wei Yuan wanted to say that this was fundamentally not the same thing, but she had already started the next link.

Return to movement from extreme stillness.

Return to movement from extreme stillness.

Return to movement from extreme stillness.

The so-called return to movement from extreme stillness, this word "extreme" refers to the transformation of Yin and Yang, which actually has nothing to do with time. It can be a long time, or it can be an instant. Little Wei Yuan originally thought it should be the former, but in this dark and narrow space, he found that he had misinterpreted the scripture, and the actual meaning was the latter.

Little Wei Yuan had nothing else to ask, but not asking anything felt like wasting an opportunity, so he asked, "Aren't you tired? Why don't you take a break?"

"Why sleep more now? You will sleep for a long time after you die!"

Domineering! Little Wei Yuan only had admiration in his heart.

The night was very long.

Little Wei Yuan felt that the long night would always pass. For a moment, he had already seen the dawn, but it turned out to be her lighting a dim fire with her fingertip, taking advantage of the firelight to tidy up her eyelashes, and by the way, giving Little Wei Yuan a spiritual blow with this face.

Then the long night continued.

Little Wei Yuan pondered, movement and stillness, Yin and Yang, why wouldn't this transformation stop?

But the sage classics had long given the answer: if Yin and Yang do not move, the world will return to chaos, which means it will be destroyed.

But Little Wei Yuan thought again, isn't this the Age of Dharma Decline? It's just that the one destroying the world is not a demon, but a Jin Gang.

Little Wei Yuan discovered that the more empty the body, the more active the brain, and he would involuntarily think about many things, not knowing why.

When the world finally became quiet, Little Wei Yuan felt that his body was no longer his own. Now he didn't even want to stand up a single hair, completely a pile of human-shaped tofu dregs.

She was like a snake, wandering on Little Wei Yuan's body, sometimes from left to right, sometimes from right to left. Little Wei Yuan understood that she was telling him that she was letting him go for now.

Until this very moment, Little Wei Yuan's brain was still in a mess, not understanding how it got to this step. But everything that should have happened had happened, and to be fair... he didn't seem to have lost anything?

That face of hers, although he only saw it twice, if the word "disaster to the country and the people" could only be given to one person in this world, it could only be her.

It was still somewhat stuffy in the dark. Heat kept coming down from above, and it had a very rich smell of Glazed Pure Fire. This fire above had been burning for an exceptionally long time, and he didn't know what the world on the ground had become.

The woman lay on Little Wei Yuan and suddenly said, "I am a bit crazy, because I saw an ending I had never seen before. I didn't expect it to be like this... Speaking of which, I still want to thank you. If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have woken up early and remembered everything that should have been erased. It's just that looking at the Dharma master like that... I'm very unwilling!"

There was a hint of crying in her voice.

Little Wei Yuan didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only hold her tighter.

She calmed down, tapped Little Wei Yuan's chest lightly, and said, "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Ru Yi. Li Ru Yi."

Little Wei Yuan recited it several times, engraving this name firmly.

"Don't forget me... oh, you can't forget me either. I have another identity outside: the Yuan Consort of Western Jin."

Note:

"From Wuji to Taiji. Taiji moves and produces Yang, extreme movement produces stillness, stillness produces Yin, extreme stillness returns to movement. One movement and one stillness, each is the root of the other. Dividing Yin and Yang, the two forms are established."
