Lu Shenliang looked at the middle-aged woman seriously, and then asked: "She has not changed from one hundred and thirty years ago to now, so the monks here don't feel anything is wrong?"
Mu Qingdan shook his head and said: "So the most strange thing is that no one in this market feels anything is wrong."
"Is it because no one cares, or is it because they haven't realized that she hasn't changed at all?" Lu Shenliang said.
Her understanding ability surprised Mu Qingdan. He looked at Lu Shenliang and said: "Most monks will not care, because few people will come to this kind of market many times after many years, and even if they are separated,
It didn't last long, and many people would naturally think that she used some kind of beauty-preserving magic, or that it was related to some kind of beauty-preserving elixir. But I don't think I am unique. A hundred or so years is too long.
, there must have been other monks coming and going over the years. And the ones who should most notice something strange about her should be the other permanent shopkeepers in this market. But none of them seemed to notice anything strange about her."
"Then how long had she stayed here before you came here to see her one hundred and thirty years ago?" Lu Shenliang thought for a while and asked: "Then the second time you came here was eight
You stayed here ten years ago, and she has stayed in this market for the past eighty years?"
"No one knows how long she had stayed here before I saw her for the first time a hundred and thirty years ago, but the second time I came to stay here, she never left during the past eighty years.
She runs this shop in this market." Mu Qingdan said: "She also earns spiritual stones, and she also practices, but her cultivation has always stayed on the fourth floor of the foundation building. There is no change. It seems that she
All the practice has only transformed into her longevity, making her unchanged."
"Does she think there's something strange about you?" Lu Shenliang asked, "If you pay attention to her, does she notice that you stay here because of her?"
"I don't know if she pays attention to me. If judged by common sense, she doesn't seem to pay attention to me deliberately." Mu Qingdan shook his head.
Lu Shenliang thought about it seriously and asked, "Can she be killed? After killing her, will she appear again?"
This question is very strange, but Mu Qingdan did not hesitate at all and said: "It can be killed, but it will not appear after being killed."
Lu Shen said handsomely: "How do you know?"
Mu Qingdan said: "Because originally there were two people like her in Jiuxiang Bridge. In addition to her, there was also an weapon refiner who specialized in repairing magic weapons. After I came here eighty years ago,
, and also found that the weapon refiner was also unchanged, but this weapon refiner was killed sixty years ago because of a dispute with someone."
Having said this, he glanced at the middle-aged woman again and said, "She will also be injured and poisoned, but after she recovers, she will return to this state."
Lu Shenliang nodded and said: "So she seems to be fixed in this state by a kind of divine law. Has she never noticed that there is something wrong with her state?"
Mu Qingdan also nodded and said: "I have talked with her several times in the past eighty years. She always thinks that she is a casual cultivator from Tianxing Temple, and every time I talk to her, she always thinks
I haven’t been very diligent in my cultivation, but it’s pretty good that I’ve made such progress so far.”
Lu Shenliang said: "So she feels that her cultivation is improving with her practice?"
"That's right." Mu Qingdan said: "Every time I talk to her, she feels that she just broke through from the third level of Foundation Establishment to the fourth level of Foundation Establishment three years ago."
"So even her thoughts seem to be controlled by an invisible god." Lu Shenliang nodded.
Mu Qingdan said: "I stay here all the time because I want to understand what kind of laws can make her behave like this, but in the past eighty years, I have not understood anything."
"So not only her thoughts seem to be controlled by an invisible divine law, but also many monks in Changliu Jiuxiang Bridge seem to have their thoughts controlled by a powerful divine law." Lu Shenliang looked at it.
He Mu Qingdan said: "So you think there are some problems in the city of Jiuxiang Bridge, so you have stayed here forever and have been meditating here for eighty years."
Hearing Lu Shenliang say these two things, Mu Qingdan felt inexplicable emotion in his heart.
He initially thought that this conversation would be difficult, but he did not expect that this conversation would be so smooth.
"That's right." Mu Qingdan looked at her with emotion and said, "It's just that I've been here for eighty years, but I haven't figured out the mystery here."
Lu Shenliang said: "You have not understood the mystery here, but you have stayed here for eighty years. You should be considered a monk who has stayed here for a long time. However, you have not been controlled by the invisible gods here. Are you just
Because you walked out of your own way?"
"Not sure." Mu Qingdan shook his head, "Maybe it has something to do with this, or maybe there are other reasons, but I can't know."
"From the records I have seen, and according to my understanding, walking out of one's own way, in the orthodox view of the immortal sect in the spiritual world, it is this monk who has created a completely different practice method, and he can use it to be completely different from other practices
But in my opinion, it seems that he has grasped some loopholes in the laws of heaven, and can even use some means that violate the law of vitality to obtain power that ordinary monks cannot use." Lu Shen said brightly: "Senior, since
You admit that you are a practitioner who has walked out of your own path, then do you think my guess is correct?"
This conversation became less and less like a question-and-answer session, and more like a pure discussion of techniques.
Mu Qingdan's expression became more solemn unconsciously, "I don't know about others, but my situation is somewhat similar to your guess. The reason why I was able to walk out of my own way was entirely because of an accident. That year
Because of my fault, a female nun I loved died, but I was too late to rescue her. Then I spent a long time trying to create a method that could revive her."
Lu Shenliang's brows frowned slightly, and she didn't speak for a while.
"In the history of cultivation, there are many monks who have tried to resurrect the dead Taoist monks. Most of them were able to reshape the Taoist monks' bodies. They could try to condense a body that was exactly the same as the Taoist monks, but no one could.
After re-condensing the soul, the reshaped body is just a walking corpse, or another person with exactly the same appearance." Mu Qingdan said slowly: "Memory...everything she has experienced, every moment of her growth.
Fragments, this is what makes her different from others."
Lu Shen said beautifully: "So you not only reshaped her body, but you also want the body you reshaped to have all her memories. You think that as long as you can do this, it may be like resurrecting her.
?”
"That's what I thought at the time." Mu Qingdan nodded and said, "I tried my best to find many ways to reshape the body. I searched for her Qi and rebuilt it exactly like her.
body, and then I tried to reconstruct her memory. I tried my best to find out almost all the people she had come into contact with when she was growing up. From the time she had memory, every person she came into contact with
.I extracted the memories of those people when they came into contact with her.”
Lu Shenliang said calmly: "But it is impossible for all the people she has come into contact with to be alive."
"Yes." Mu Qingdan smiled bitterly, "But I just want to restore her memory as much as possible. I think no one can completely own all their memories. Many things will be forgotten after enough time.
So I tried every means possible to let her have as many memories as possible, especially when she experienced things that were very important to her."
"This is really crazy." Lu Shenliang said: "So you really did this. You reshaped her physical body, and then reorganized a lot of memories about her and made them her memories."
Mu Qingdan took a deep breath and said, "This is indeed crazy."
"Then what happens in the end?" Lu Shenliang said: "Do you think the person you resurrected looks like her, or do you think it is her?"
"I didn't succeed." Mu Qingdan shook his head, "That period of time has become my most painful memory. The person I resurrected looks like countless people, but she is not like the person I want her to be.
.”
"Then how did you deal with her?" Lu Shenliang asked.
"I killed her with my own hands." Mu Qingdan took a deep breath and said slowly: "Because she has countless personalities, she is very confused, but she has terrifying cultivation talents, and the most important thing is that she is like
She has directly stepped out of her own way. Her method of cultivation and the way she obtains power are completely different from those of normal practitioners. She can even directly enter other people's consciousness, change their memories, and even directly obtain their cultivation level.
.”
"Acquire?" Lu Shenliang noticed that the word Mu Qingdan seemed to have a somewhat profound meaning.
"Or it can be said to be obtained by directly stealing it. To put it simply, if she enters your sea of consciousness, you may forget that you practiced in the previous three days, and you will feel that you did not practice in the previous three days. In fact, you were practicing in the previous three days.
Practicing hard, the true essence you gained, along with the disappearance of your memory, directly became her true essence and her cultivation." Mu Qingdan said: "As her strength grows,
The more she enters other people's memories at will, the more disordered her temperament becomes. She doesn't have any respect for life, and she starts killing people at will. She even feels that she is an omnipotent god."
"Then she didn't try to directly enter your memory? She couldn't do it?" Lu Shenliang asked.
These things that Mu Qingdan said have not been recorded even in the classics. They sound very strange, ridiculous and unreasonable. However, her expression is very calm, and she does not think that these things are impossible to happen.
"She did not enter my memory at first, because in her first memory, I was her closest relative and her partner. But as her consciousness became more confused, of course she also entered my memory."
Mu Qingdan said: "Then she was killed by me. In my memory, she saw how she was born. She thought she was the god who controlled everything, but she saw her true self, she saw the truth
At the same time, her consciousness collapsed directly, and she told me that it turned out that she was 'nothing'. It turned out that she was not a god who controlled everything, but an existence that should not exist in this world. After she said these few words to me
In short, as her consciousness completely collapsed, her physical body also completely disappeared. She seemed to have made a judgment for herself, she felt that she should not exist, so she disappeared directly."
Lu Shenliang did not question anything, but continued: "Then you walked out of your own way because of her?"
"I touched the Qi mechanism of how she entered my memory." Mu Qingdan said: "This is not like the law of vitality, but like a special Tao. A road that is completely independent of the laws of heaven and earth. It has nothing to do with it.
It makes no sense, just like an emptiness that is not bound by the laws of vitality."
When he said these words, he stared into Lu Shenliang's eyes. This was a description that he felt was accurate enough, but he knew that it was still difficult for people to understand.
However, Lu Shenliang just nodded extremely simply and said: "I understand."
"It took me many years to understand the energy that I touched, and I found that I could not enter other people's memories at will like her. But the final result was that I was able to touch many memory fragments that seemed to not exist at all.
." Mu Qingdan looked at Lu Shenliang and said slowly and extremely seriously: "In my perception, there are many memory fragments floating in this world that should not exist at all. These memory fragments come from countless
Memories that people have forgotten.”
"So to put it simply, if a person forgets something, the forgotten memory will leave his body, float back to heaven and earth, and return to the laws of heaven. Normal monks cannot touch it at all.
, can’t be sensed. If you can’t sense it, it means it doesn’t exist.” Lu Shenliang said: “But for you, you can sense them, and you know that they exist, and you can use them.”
Mu Qingdan was very shocked.
He thought that Lu Shenliang would be more difficult to understand, but Lu Shenliang seemed to understand the true meaning in his heart easily.
"I can't read these memory fragments, but to me, they are like the aura of heaven and earth, the power that I can use. Many ordinary things can rely on these powers, and then when facing the enemy,
It's like it will turn into a powerful magic weapon." Mu Qingdan took a deep breath again. He looked at Lu Shenliang and said more slowly: "I don't know why it can be like this. Maybe for the world of practitioners, I
This is walking out of my own path. I am able to use some ordinary artifacts to gather the power of countless memory fragments."
What he didn't expect was that Lu Shenliang's state of mind did not fluctuate at all. She just nodded, thought for a moment, and said: "So you can 'see' and touch these so-called memory fragments.
Nature is a kind of energy, and every fragment can be regarded as a piece of energy."
Mu Qingdan was stunned.
This is a very new vocabulary.
But it seems... it is.
