"Have you realized your dream of transcending reincarnation?" The voice did not answer Gao He, but instead asked a question.
Isn't this nonsense? If it has been realized, what is Gao He doing here alone? He shook his head, but now that he is in a soul state, the other party cannot see him at all, so he can only answer with some resentment: "Not yet." I don't know why, Gao He
I always feel that the voice is familiar, but I can't remember it.
"Why?" The voice kept asking without stopping.
"Maybe it's because I don't practice enough!" Gao He took a long breath and replied dejectedly.
"Have you ever actively pursued the improvement of your spiritual realm?" the voice asked continuously.
This question made Gao He suddenly feel speechless. Yes, have you ever actively pursued the improvement of spiritual practice? Except for the marksmanship, which was practiced diligently due to his own interests, the others include real energy and magic weapons. Which time is it?
Did you take the initiative to upgrade? Which time did you take the initiative to upgrade?
It seems that every time, there happens to be something that makes Gao He very lucky. Either he gets good things, or his strength improves inexplicably. His proactive actions are really rare.
The true essence came from a broken dagger being stabbed into his chest during the villa incident. Gao He absorbed the energy from it and formed his own true essence in his body.
Every time after that, he absorbed the true essence of Gessarkent, obtained condensed gold, obtained Qianfeng, recovered from injury, absorbed mysterious black smoke with condensed gold, and even fell into a black hole. It was all because of his good luck. This was the only time.
This time the danger was saved and I was lucky enough to get an improvement in strength. But I took the initiative to pursue an improvement in strength. It seemed that I never did.
Strictly speaking, Gao He has never regarded himself as a practitioner. Many times, he thinks about problems completely from the perspective of an ordinary person. It is inevitable that such things will happen.
However, this is contrary to my so-called dream of transcending reincarnation. Why do I do such a thing while pursuing my dream? Didn't I regard transcending reincarnation as my destination from the beginning? Or was it that I didn't regard transcending reincarnation as my destiny?
Do you really know that you cannot fulfill such a dream in this life?
Gao He fell into confusion again. However, before he could figure it out, the voice had already asked: "How high can you practice to transcend reincarnation?"
What's the problem? How can you know if you haven't experienced it? Gao He shook his head blankly, and immediately remembered that the other party couldn't see it, so he answered honestly: "I don't know."
"Can people who are great practitioners also fall into the cause and effect?" The voice suddenly asked a question inexplicably.
Gao He still vaguely remembers this question. It was the question asked by the old man Yehu Chan to Zen Master Baizhang in the Zen story. Gao He had studied it when he was studying the content of spiritual practice.
The old man of Yehu Zen once answered someone else, "There is no ignorance of cause and effect." Therefore, he was punished to fall into the body of a wild fox for five hundred lives, unable to escape. When he asked Zen Master Baizhang the same question, Zen Master Baizhang's answer was "There is no ignorance of cause and effect." The old man of Yehu Zen had a profound realization on the spot.
Gain enlightenment and escape from the body of a wild fox.
Now that the voice asked this question, Gao He didn't even think about it and answered directly: "I don't know the cause and effect."
"Will those who practice great cultivation also fall into reincarnation?" the voice continued to ask. Gao He was not given any time to think.
Without thinking, Gao He replied casually: "I don't know about reincarnation!"
As soon as the words came out, Gao He suddenly woke up. He didn't understand reincarnation. Yes, why should we transcend reincarnation? Since reincarnation is the law of life, why should we transcend it? A correct understanding of reincarnation, a clear reincarnation, is no better than breaking away from the law of reincarnation.
Do you need to be wiser to "surpass reincarnation" or "not fall into reincarnation"?
The voice stopped speaking, but Gao He fell into deep contemplation because of one sentence. Was what he did before right or wrong? However, no matter how many other reincarnations he had, it was only in this life of Gao He as a human being,
Gao He definitely left with deep regret.
The most painful thing is that these regrets and regrets were all realized by Gao He after he escaped from reincarnation. Although strictly speaking, Gao He lived a wonderful life in this life, but he could not make up for the loss of the people closest to him.
Those regrets. As an old song goes, "If you spend half your life running around, but in the end you can't keep your confidante as your companion, you will have regrets even if you hold boundless mountains and rivers."
After thinking blankly for a long time, Gao He seemed to remember the owner of the voice: "Who are you?"
"I am the master of life!" After the voice said, Gao He immediately remembered the owner of this voice. Although he had never seen it before, Gao He had heard this familiar voice several times. Gao He was sure that he was indeed the master of life.
, Gao He was a little discouraged. He seemed to have made an unreasonable request in front of his master, but he failed to achieve it. He was a little ashamed.
"You have not fulfilled your dream, are you ready to accept the punishment?" The master's voice sounded without any emotion.
"I'm ready." Gao He felt very calm. Although he had regrets in his past life, it was his past life no matter what, and he had to take responsibility for what he had done.
"Then, you just stay here slowly and wait for the soul to dissipate!" The master's voice did not change in any way because of Gao He's answer.
Gao He was mentally prepared for this result. The last time he was here, he heard the person who taught him the formula say this. It seemed that this was the punishment for losers, but he didn't know how long it would last.
Moreover, since the master said this, his formula will probably no longer have any effect.
"Before I leave, do you have any other wishes?" The Master of Life is very generous.
"Does the law of conservation of life really exist?" Although this was proposed by Master Zhishan, Gao He still hoped to get a definite answer.
"Yes." The Master of Life replied without hesitation: "Otherwise there would be no rules of reincarnation. However, the soul will not disappear after dissipation, but will be broken into the most basic elements, and multiple soul elements will be remixed to form multiple soul elements.
A new life. Life is conserved.”
"Who is that person?" Gao He still wanted to know the identity of that person.
"Is it important to you?" The Master of Life seemed a little surprised.
"It's very important!" Gao He replied, "I want to thank him."
"You're welcome!" The Master of Life replied in a very easy-going manner: "If you say that I am the one who left you the Ningjin and Yin-Yang Xuantian Formations, it's me."
A screen seemed to suddenly appear in front of Gao He's eyes, and a scene appeared on it. Ningjin appeared inexplicably, and then a bunch of light spots appeared, and the entire formation appeared. No one controlled it but it happened automatically.
It seems that he is really the master of life. Gao He thought for a while and said: "Thank you!"
"I'm just curious about what step you can take, and I'd like to give you some help. You're welcome." The Master of Life replied slowly, then fell silent randomly.
It seems that the master of life is gone, and Gao He once again returned to the state of feeling nothing. He silently recited the mantra in his heart. This has been his habit for many years, and it is also the instinct imprinted in his soul.
Silently reciting the mantra could easily make Gao He fall into a state of thoughtlessness. I don't know how long it took before Gao He seemed to wake up again.
When he woke up this time, Gao He could clearly find that he seemed to be very weak. It seemed that the master of life was right. This place could indeed dissipate people's souls.
"Are you awake?" The voice of the master of life sounded again: "Now that you are awake, do me a favor. There is a guy like you before. Please enlighten him."
Before Gao He had time to ask what it was, he heard a voice in his ear. The voice was counting. It sounded like it had been counting for a long time, as if it had already counted more than six billion.
After listening for a long time, he was sure that this guy was the same as himself before. He kept counting, and then he spoke: "Do you really want to get rid of this endless life process?"
"It's the earth!" That voice sounded very happy, just like when I heard the voice of the master of life.
Involuntarily, Gao He smiled slightly, not sure if the guy opposite heard it. He smiled for a long time, because Gao He felt that it was really rare to meet a guy who looked so much like him: "You said to the person in charge of life,
If you want to escape from his control and become a life that can transcend reincarnation, what do you think he would think?"
I don’t know if I understood the voice on the other side. She seemed to be laughing too.
"Why are you laughing?" Gao He stopped his laughter and asked the voice.
"You laugh, so I laugh too." The answer in the voice sounded very familiar to Gao He, but he didn't pay attention.
This guy simply competed with himself to see if he could reach the level he had back then! Gao He stopped talking and began to recite the mantra silently. However, this time, Gao He did not fall into the state of being indifferent to the outside world.
.At least, being able to hear some sounds here is already a supreme enjoyment.
Seeing that Gao He didn't respond, the voice on the other side stopped for a while, and then started counting the numbers again. Gao He didn't speak, and just listened silently. Every time he heard the voice on the other side read a number, Gao He basically
You can recite the mantra silently in your mind.
If this guy can persist, Gao He decides to pass on this mantra in his heart. If he fails and his soul dissipates, Gao He has nothing to say. Anyway, he will end up like this in the end, and maybe he can still be with him.
The elements of this guy's soul are reorganized into a new life.
Gao He has determined that something seems to be losing bit by bit in his soul. Perhaps it is what the master of life calls the soul dissipation!
The voice on the other side was still insisting in the darkness. He had already counted almost seven billion. At this moment, Gao He felt that his soul was too weak to hold on. Even hearing the other side's voice was a little blurry.
Suddenly, Gao He suddenly remembered that the voice that taught him the formula before seemed to have said that his soul was about to dissipate, and he only regained consciousness when he heard his own voice. But why? Isn't that person the master of life? Yes
If so, why did he say those words?
Can the soul not dissipate in this place? Gao He thought about this and became vaguely excited. It seems that according to the master of life, as long as his soul does not dissipate, he can finally be released. Or there will be one more chance.
At the end of the day, the counting voice began to become clearer, and Gao He's mind also cheered up. He began to work hard to cheer up. There was no sign of dissipation before the Lord of Life appeared. It was only after talking to the Lord that this happened.
situation, that is to say, these are not necessarily true.
Gao He could do it by counting at that time, so why can't he do it now? Am I not even as good as the simple guy opposite him?
Gao He, who was awake, began to focus on the counting of that voice, and began to silently recite the mantra along with his numbers in his heart. I remember that he had recited more than eight billion at that time, so let's listen to how many this guy can recite.
Seventy-two billion, seventy-three billion, seventy-four billion. Seventy-five billion, seventy-six billion, seventy-seven billion. Seventy-eight billion, seventy-nine billion, eighty billion! This guy is pretty good.
To be able to last for so long, Gao He knew that it would take at least several thousand years to count these billions. He didn't know what era the world was in now.
Immediately, Gao He was shocked to find that his soul, which had originally felt very weak, had unknowingly returned to its original vigor and vitality. The soul dissipation mentioned by the master of life actually seemed to have no effect at all, and there were also
A little bit more strength.
"Do you know where this place is?" Gao He decided to thank the guy opposite. At least, I don't know about other places, but the formula is a powerful tool to make myself stand out.
"I don't know." The voice on the other side replied, and then counted, very interesting guy.
"This is the place where the master of life imprisons the soul. Here, facing the boundless darkness and loneliness, as long as there is an intelligent soul, it will definitely collapse due to this terrible torture. Without extremely strong persistence, the result will only be a silent soul.
dissipated. Only you, who never had any other thoughts, actually spent such a long time counting one by one, I admire you." Gao He pointed happily.
"Oh!" The guy opposite seemed not interested at all.
"Like you, I am also a person who wants to transcend reincarnation. As a result, I failed in my previous life and was thrown here to be punished by the master of life. The consequence of the punishment is that the soul dissipates." Gao He was very excited: "However,
Because of your persistence in counting, I have been able to listen to your voice for thousands of years and not feel depressed. A simple soul can do this. How can I be worse than you, haha! Fortunately, I have you.
For getting through this horrific outcome. Thank you!”
"No need!" That soul seemed very simple, but immediately he seemed to realize something: "Thousands of years?"
"You have counted eight billion, which is almost thousands of years." Gao He was very happy: "Soon, the master of life will have to release you. You are the second one to get out from here.".
"I'm leaving soon. I will help you find a way to fulfill your wish. If you have a chance to be reincarnated again, remember what I told you. It will be useful for your wish." Gao He said something sincere.
The soul said, quite a bit to point out the backward ones.
"Okay!" The voice on the other side was calm, as if there was no emotion at all.
Gao He started to recite the formula one by one, and the voice followed the recitation sentence by sentence. It was very stupid. I don't know how long it took to recite it, but it took Gao He a long time to recite it before.
Gao He didn't finish until he had memorized all his soul. He simply said goodbye to him, and Gao He decided not to talk anymore. However, suddenly, Gao He seemed to suddenly remember something, and his mind was shocked, and there was no more anything around him.
sound.
There has never been a moment when Gao He's mind was as clear as it is now. How could the scene just now be so familiar? If he were replaced by the soul opposite, wouldn't it be his own experience?
"Do you understand?" The voice of the master of life sounded at the right time.
"But, isn't that voice yours? You admitted it!" Gao He asked the master in surprise.
"I have only admitted that I made the Ningjin and Yin Yang Xuantian formations." The Master of Life answered simply.
"So that's it!" Gao He didn't know what to say now. The counting soul was really his former self, and the person who taught his former self the formula was actually his current self. What does this mean? Two
An encounter in time and space?
"In the world of souls, there is no concept of time, past and future." The Lord of Life seemed to understand what Gao He was thinking and answered directly.
"Do you still want to transcend reincarnation?" Sensing that Gao He had figured something out, the Master of Life asked again.
"It doesn't matter whether you transcend reincarnation or not." Gao He seemed to have suddenly gained enlightenment, and his answer was unfathomable.
"If I gave you a chance, how would you choose? Would you still think about transcending reincarnation?" The Lord seemed to care about Gao He's thoughts.
"Beyond reincarnation!" Gao He chewed the word: "What will happen if I stay here all the time and don't participate in reincarnation? If I don't join reincarnation, I won't fall into reincarnation. Is this considered transcending reincarnation?"
"Yes!" The Lord of Life replied immediately.
"I never thought that you would help me realize the dream that I have been pursuing so hard from the beginning. Unfortunately, I didn't understand it at the time." Gao He sighed with emotion.
"It's not too late to understand now." The master of life replied: "Is this how you plan to realize your dream?"
"No!" Gao He replied resolutely: "I have another choice."
I have left so many regrets in my previous life. Even in my soul state, I still feel heartbroken and sad. Why don't I think of ways to make up for it? Since there is no time, past and future here, then there is another way to do it.
Realize, and you will not lose the memory of reincarnation.
"I choose to start over!"
…
"You're a bunch of useless trash. Even the dumbest fool is a hundred times stronger than you. Why don't you run away!!!"
Gao He just felt like he was waking up from a big dream when he heard such a curse...
