Chapter 134 Do you dare to bet with me? Are you really not afraid of death?
Chapter 134:
Chi Yu was panicked for a moment, but quickly calmed down and put the pill back into the Sumeru Ring as if nothing had happened.
"Junior brother?" Xie Xiyi's voice sounded faintly, with a hint of doubt.
When Chi Yu heard his tone, he subconsciously panicked—there was no way, the oppressive feeling of the villain Xie Xiyi was far greater than that of Senior Brother Xuan Ji.
When he was his Taoist partner, he didn't seem to care about him much. Although spiritual communication is beneficial, if he were to have spiritual communication with Senior Brother Xuan Ji and he begged for mercy and asked to stop, Senior Brother Xuan Ji would definitely not continue.
Because Senior Brother Xuan Ji was thinking about him wholeheartedly.
Even deleting his memory was out of fear of putting him in a difficult position.
"..." Chi Yu's heart suddenly calmed down. No matter what, this was his senior brother Xuan Ji. If he didn't even have this little courage, why would he have said so confidently that he would save him and bring him back?
Thinking of this, Chi Yu curled his lips and said calmly, "That's right, Senior Brother Xuan Ji."
"Oh~" Xie Xiyi laughed softly, and said in a very pleasant voice: "So, what are we doing now?"
Chi Yu replied, "We'll be resting in this mortal city for a few days. Today is our second day."
Xie Xiyi just smiled without saying anything. He walked out of the room and turned to go downstairs.
Chi Yu quickly followed him, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, what are you going to do?"
Xie Xiyi said, "Just like a baby seeks out its mother's milk after birth, I too am seeking it. It's instinct."
Chi Yu said in a serious tone, "...Senior Brother Xuanji, you promised me that you wouldn't kill in the next few days."
Xie Xiyi smiled and said, "It was my old self who agreed. I have no memory, so I am not me anymore. If you keep nagging me, I will kill you."
Chi Yu didn't believe he would take action, but until now, Xie Xiyi had been difficult to control.
Unable to wait any longer, Chi Yu directly controlled the secret realm, moved the entire mortal city away, and quickly opened up a brand new space—
This is an endless expanse of red land, and the sky is also red, as if both the sky and the earth are dyed red with blood.
It’s not that Chi Yu deliberately opened it up like this, but the space that can be opened up in this secret realm is limited.
This is what the city looked like after its demise.
"Junior brother, what are you doing?" Xie Xiyi turned around and looked at Chi Yu.
Chi Yu said calmly, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, I can't let you continue the killing."
Of course, this was fake. The purpose of trapping Xie Xiyi here was to get Senior Brother Xuan Ji to come back.
The black mist on Xie Xiyi's body rose up, and he took out the phantom electricity from the black mist.
After losing his memory, Xie Xiyi had never experienced the scene of Huandian running towards Chi Yu. Therefore, after Huandian emerged from the black fog, humming and breaking free from his hand, he fell silent. Soon, he laughed softly, "Interesting, very interesting."
Chi Yu grabbed Huan Dian, who was rushing towards him but stopped just in front of him and held the hilt of his sword in front of him, and said, "Senior Brother Xuan Ji, you can't kill me. We have a good relationship."
"This doesn't seem like a good relationship. Cutting off someone's financial resources is like killing their parents. Junior brother, don't you understand?" Xie Xiyi was still smiling. In stark contrast to his relaxed and soft tone, the black mist on his body grew even more fiercely, like a wave——
Chi Yu pursed his lips. The secret realm was indeed like a part of himself to him. With a thought, the black wave on Xie Xiyi's body suddenly subsided.
Xie Xiyi paused in laughter, revealing a hint of surprise, "You...what kind of trick is this?"
Chi Yu: "..."
To be honest, Chi Yu found it hard to believe Xie Xiyi's tone.
Chi Yu said, "Brother Xuanji, I have no intention of becoming your enemy. If you really want to kill someone, then kill me. I am in the Nascent Soul stage."
After saying that, Chi Yu raised the Phantom Lightning, but instead of aiming it at Xie Xiyi, he made a beautiful sword flower and pointed the tip of the Phantom Lightning at himself.
"..." Xie Xiyi laughed dumbly, "What are you doing?"
"I'm saving you, Senior Brother Xuanji." Chi Yu's expression was calm, even revealing a brilliant smile. He said, "I told you a long time ago that if you were to become a demon, I would be your other shore. I've made such a resolute decision, so I can naturally give up everything. If I wasn't willing to sacrifice my own life, how could I convince you to turn back?"
After Chi Yu finished speaking, he approached Xie Xiyi and pushed the humming electric sword handle towards him.
Xie Xiyi stretched out his hand to shake it, and when their fingers were about to touch, Chi Yu did not move. At the moment they were about to touch, black mist surged up and wrapped around Xie Xiyi's hand.
"Do you think I dare not kill you?" Xie Xiyi said.
Chi Yu smiled and said, "I've never thought of this before, because Brother Xuanji, haven't you already killed me twice?"
Xie Xiyi paused: "..."
He fell silent. He had no memory of this, but his high desire to kill inexplicably fell into the abyss because of this sentence.
Something in his body was causing him pain. This pain was like the strongest poison, corroding his body from the inside, all the way to the depths of his soul.
Silence wasn't Xie Xiyi's nature, so he quickly and calmly returned to his cheerful smile. "I don't think it matters if you die again—I'll chop you into small pieces. Aren't you afraid?"
"I'm not afraid." Chi Yu said firmly. Then, holding the still humming phantom electric sword, he continued to move closer. The sword tip soon pressed against his chest. "Senior Brother Xuanji, kill me."
Xie Xiyi said: "Do you think I don't dare? I don't have any memory. I don't have any feelings towards the brothers you mentioned."
Chi Yu said, "Brother Xuanji, you know that 'I' is a sacred concept. You used to practice Zen, so you should understand this more deeply than I do."
He paused, then continued, "The six sense organs and six sense objects constitute an 'I.' This is the original state of a person. 'I' is my god, the wisdom of Prajna, awareness, and the Buddha. If I had to describe this state, it would be the famous Buddhist verse: 'There is no Bodhi tree, nor is there a mirror stand. Originally, there is nothing, so where can dust gather?'"
His golden eyes, looking at Xie Xiyi, sparkled with brilliance. His entire person seemed to be radiant because of the calmness and composure revealed in these eyes. "Everyone has awareness, wisdom, and divine enlightenment. Once you become aware of the 'self', you will reach the joyful state of Buddha. ———"
"I've said all this not because I want to persuade you with words, that's something you'd find in a Chuunibyou anime. What I want to tell you is that you're moved by the name of Brother Xuanji, and didn't kill me the moment we met, because the god in you hasn't vanished."
He suddenly laughed, his eyes full of energy, but that kind of confidence was not disgusting. I even wanted to hold him in my arms and kiss him gently.
"Memory is the smallest flaw. You've been in Buddhism for several lifetimes. Your flesh, blood, bones, and soul have all been deeply influenced by it. The 'god' in your body has not disappeared, so I'm taking a gamble."
His tone became firm, "I bet that you, Senior Brother Xuanji, will not kill me."
His frankness made Xie Xiyi laugh in a low voice, "Then you will definitely lose."
Chi Yu said, "I know there's a high chance I'll lose. But even if there's a one in a billion chance, I'll still take the gamble. This is my promise to you, Brother Xuan Ji. If you make a promise lightly, you'll lose your credibility. That's what you taught me."
His eyes moved deeply, "So, Senior Brother Xuanji, do you dare to bet with me?"
Xie Xiyi held the phantom lightning tightly, and the phantom lightning was still buzzing. It had no spirit, but it was still very intelligent. Just as Chi Yu said, the phantom lightning was the Buddha's bones, refined by Xie Xiyi, and it itself was the embodiment of Xie Xiyi's wisdom of Prajna.
The spirituality in Huandian is actually the "I" that Chi Yu mentioned, a small part of Xuan Ji's "I".
If Xuan Ji were here, he would surely be very pleased and proud to think that his understanding was so high that he truly had the qualities of a Buddhist.
But now Xie Xiyi couldn't help but feel like he was talking to a cow.
Xie Xiyi smiled lightly and did not answer.
Chi Yu said aggressively, "Do you dare to bet with me? Senior Brother Xuan Ji, I dare to bet with you even if the probability is only one in a billion. Even if you have a probability of one in a billion, billion, minus one, you still don't dare to bet with me?"
"I dare." Xie Xiyi let out a faint sound from his throat, gnashing his teeth faintly, and his light laughter became a little sharper. "Of course I dare. After all, there is such a high probability, isn't it?"
"Since we're here to gamble, there has to be a prize," said Chi Yu.
Xie Xiyi laughed: "You still dare to ask for a prize?"
Chi Yu said, "I dare to bet with you, why don't I dare to ask for the prize?"
"..." Xie Xiyi paused, "So, what do you want to win?"
Chi Yu said, "If I lose, you can use my spirit to refine the lamp. But if you lose, Senior Brother Xuanji, you must promise me one thing and you are not allowed to go back on your word."
Xie Xiyi: "The latter part is unnecessary, but now that you've said it, I guess I often go back on my word."
Chi Yu:.
Chi Yu didn't say anything, so Xie Xiyi continued, "I promise you, I won't go back on my word. So, are you ready to die?"
Chi Yu: "I'm ready. It's not like I haven't died before."
He said this, holding the phantom lightning and moving the sword upwards. "The previous two times, because they were in the Qi training stage, Qi training stage is like ordinary people, so a sword piercing the heart killed them. But I am now in the Yuanying stage, and I need to behead them with a sword to kill them completely. - Senior Brother Xuanji, strike here."
He placed the blade of the phantom lightning sword on his neck.
It was such a slender and long neck that even without a sword, it seemed as if one could easily break it by pinching it with one's hands.
Xie Xiyi chuckled and said, "Beheading with one sword is not my style. I will chop you into pieces so that the blood and energy can burst out."
Chi Yu said calmly, "Sorry, Senior Brother Xuanji, I forgot. Then, let's do it the way you like."
Xie Xiyi: "..."
He raised the phantom lightning and raised his hand to wave, but Chi Yu's golden eyes looked at him steadily without any retreat.
The sword swung down, and sword energy burst out, cutting off the long hair beside Chi Yu's ear——
The phantom lightning flew out of his hand, and Xie Xiyi reached out and pinched his cheek. His voice, which had been relaxed and cheerful, turned into a very gnashing tone, "Are you really not afraid of death?"
Chi Yu was stunned.
