Chapter 413: The Overbearingness of Seeking Life from Death
Ji You's situation is different from Chen Fuzi's. Chen Fuzi truly ascended after approaching immortality. Before that, his physical body had already decayed, so if he wanted to return to this world, he could only use a mud body.
But Ji You's physical body is still there, and he can let his spiritual soul return to his body when he returns to Qingyun.
But the problem is that the reason why he was soul-locked and fell into a state of soul dissipation was because of the mismatch between his physical body and his spiritual soul.
If he does it again, the situation will still not improve.
So Ji You can only walk with a mud body, unless his enlightenment cultivation also reaches the same realm as his physical body, and the two are balanced, can he be one in body and soul.
But the problem is that Merging with the Dao is a special foundation realm in the Upper Five Realms.
Practitioners at this stage need to figure out their own Dao, sort out their own thoughts, whether it is good thoughts or evil thoughts, keep what is needed, discard the messy, and truly achieve consistency from inside to outside.
This process is called Fixing the Dao.
But if a person has obsessions in his heart, this pass will be extremely difficult to pass, and if obsessions turn into inner demons, there is a risk of going into qi deviation and losing one's true self.
Ji You was silent for a long time before speaking: "I'm afraid I don't have a chance for enlightenment and spirit travel. I have demons in my heart and can't pass the questioning heart pass, so I chose to only practice my physical body back then."
"Then forget it."
"?"
The Abbot of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan looked at him: "That memory has become your shackle, no matter how important it is, it no longer has the need to exist, but it is very difficult for people to forget on their own, so they will fall into pain. But I have a way, I can help you completely seal them during your Fixing the Dao process, making you permanently forget that past."
After Ji You finished listening, he raised his head: "Then will I still remember my younger brothers and sisters?"
"People have to look forward, they can't always look back and stop."
The old Abbot carried his hands on his back: "I didn't teach you the Heavenly Mechanism Technique so as not to disturb your karma. In fact, if you could see through the Heavenly Mechanism, you would know that whether it is me or you, the fate of a certain person, a certain life and death, is not that important. But if you don't make a choice, you can only go down to the world with a mud body. But the problem is, what can the cultivation of the Profound Understanding Realm do? In this era of Remnant Race revival, if you go back with this cultivation, you will even die on the road before you can see the people you want to see."
Ji You lowered his head after hearing this, looking at the rolling black night under his feet and was silent for a long time.
He knew that the old doctor was right, he needed higher cultivation and also needed to take back his physical body.
If it wasn't like this, it would be meaningless for him to go back even if he did.
And the choice at the moment is the first difficulty he has to face.
After pondering for a long time, Ji You sat cross-legged, slowly placing his hands on his knees.
Seeing this scene, Chen Fuzi, who had not spoken, closed his eyes slightly.
He knew that Ji You accepted the old man's suggestion, but he did not agree with the point of view he just stated.
Some experiences and thoughts, whether good or bad, are parts that make up who I am today.
Because of them, the current self was shaped, so they should not be forgotten.
Perhaps this is what the old man said, people like them can't see through the Heavenly Mechanism, so they will be painful and confused, but Chen Fuzi doesn't think this is wrong.
However, although he didn't agree, he didn't speak to stop him, because he knew Ji You had to pass this pass.
"Hold your breath, calm your spirit, go find your heart's thoughts."
"When your obsession appears, I will perceive it, and then I will immediately seal your memory for you. Remember, don't resist at that moment."
Seeing Ji You make a choice, the Abbot of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan also sat cross-legged, his aura bursting out.
And just at the moment Ji You closed his eyes, he pushed his arms and shook his palms, and a stream of immortal light instantly fell from his palm towards Ji You's crown.
In an instant, Ji You entered a state of meditation.
At that time, endless whiteness flashed through his brain, dragging him towards the depths of his endless heart's thoughts.
I don't know how long it took, a river embankment appeared before his eyes.
The water in the river embankment was murmuring, green willows were flying on both sides of the river embankment, blue sky and white clouds, full of spring.
At that time, in front of his eyes, a group of small children were walking towards the river bank with laughter.
The one walking at the very front was a little older than the ones behind him. He looked very delicate, with red lips and white teeth, and had endless similarities with Ji You.
"Brother, I'm going to catch little fish."
"Don't go to deep water."
"We'll just stay by the river!"
"Brother, I want to go too, the little crab I raised before isn't moving, I want to catch another one."
Amidst the laughter, Ji You stood by, watching his younger brothers and sisters walk through the green grass, running to the river for a frolic, with infinite nostalgia in his eyes.
His parents died in a car accident, and after that, he was sent to an orphanage.
If it weren't for the subsequent events, that period of time should have been the most beautiful memory in his dark life.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the hillside not far away, looking at the upper reaches of the river embankment.
Before long, a rolling flood poured down from there with a bang, rushing towards the lower reaches.
"The sluice gate is open!"
"The Hongxing Reservoir sluice gate is open!"
The surging water came incomparably fast, filling the entire river channel in an instant, rolling over, reflected in Ji You's constantly trembling eyes.
More than a dozen small figures were panicked and helpless, unable to dodge, and were washed into the river channel all at once.
Just at this time, a stream of immortal light suddenly fell from here, instantly freezing what was happening.
Immediately after, this picture was like being ignited, and began to constantly fade in the boiling, just like when a person forgets a memory, it all starts from fading.
Ji You's gaze was fixed on this scene, and then he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
Boom!!!!
Between the white heavens and earth, the Dean of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan was sealing Ji You's memory, but the next moment he suddenly opened his eyes, and amidst a tremor, the immortal light between his palms suddenly dissipated.
Chen Fuzi was staring from the side, and couldn't help but open his eyes wide upon seeing this: "What happened?"
"He stopped me."
Chen Fuzi was slightly startled, turned his eyes to look at Ji You.
At this moment, his whole body was full of mysterious light, and the sound of the Great Dao roared around him, which was already a sign of starting to fix the Dao.
The two instantly narrowed their eyes, and saw Ji You's aura constantly rising, rushing towards the light of the Great Dao in front.
But his spiritual soul was not stable, his whole body was trembling, and at the same time his body began to tense up strongly.
The old Abbot of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan followed him into the Dao with immortal light. Although he was refused participation, there was still a trace of heart's thought left in it.
At this moment, he was very puzzled why Ji You would refuse to have his memory sealed, so he waved his sleeves in the white world.
A sudden breeze struck, and Ji You's Dao heart image unfolded like a scroll, appearing in front of the two.
In the river channel, the surging water was constantly rolling, and in the rushing water, Ji You rushed in regardless of everything.
Some memories cannot be forgotten, even if they carry endless pain, they cannot be forgotten.
Because once I forget, I'm afraid no one in this world will remember them anymore.
So the most painful and panicked thing for him all these years was seeing them again in his dreams, being asked if his brother had forgotten them.
He didn't accept the old Abbot of the Heavenly Tian Shuyuan's suggestion at all, but this time, he intended to truly face his inner demons.
The cold river water was rapid and surging, and Ji You was swimming hard.
At this time, Qiqi was washed to a place not far from the shore, hung by a branch, everything was exactly the same as what he heard on the shore back then.
He disregarded the piercing pain of the river water choking into his throat, disregarded the panic brought by the suffocation, and swam desperately towards his younger sister, but before long, he was submerged by the surging river water.
With a click, the branch broke, and the crying girl was also washed away by the flood.
Immediately after, the scene replayed before the sluice gate opened upstream, the same laughter, the same exclamation, the same rushing into the river water, the same being submerged by the river water.
Once, twice, three times.
