Chapter 530 Love Curse
"I've always had a question."
Ruan Wei suddenly spoke, and Chi Jin immediately pulled herself out of her thoughts, lowered her eyes slightly, looked at Ruan Wei, and asked, "Senior Sister, what's the problem?"
"Why do you have memories of the past?"
Ruan Wei stared at Chi Jin, not wanting to miss any expression on his face.
She knew that Chi Jin had practiced the art of life cultivation in her previous life, so at first Ruan Wei thought that Chi Jin had used some means to preserve her memories, but the more she studied, the more she realized something was wrong.
There is something wrong with Chi Jin's memory, and Tiandao's attitude towards Chi Jin is also problematic.
Chi Jin was obviously stunned for a moment.
He frowned, as if he was also stumped by this sudden question. Only then did he realize that he had never thought about the reason why his memory was preserved.
Yes, why.
Chi Jin: “I don’t know.”
He said he really didn't remember, because he was forced to become a demon in his previous life and because of his own numerous suicide attempts in later life, Chi Jin's memory has always been fragmented, and many memories of the past are very vague.
When he just opened his eyes in this life, Chi Jin still remembered that he was lying at the bottom of the cliff of Cangshan Mountain waiting to be buried by the snow. As a result, when he opened his eyes again, he was back to his childhood.
Ruan Wei pointed at Chao Jian and said, "I clearly chose Second Uncle-Master."
Chao Jian nodded: "Memories are difficult to preserve."
The continuation of memory comes at a price, such as the escape and weakness of the priest's spirit, the mantras he had to practice when meeting the emperor, and the relationship he personally severed.
Chi Jin was still confused: "I don't know how I remembered it."
“…”
Seeing this, Chao Jian began to describe the process of his memory preservation:
"When I was young, I divined that Penglai and Heaven's will seemed to be two completely different entities, a world entwined between life and death. I tried to understand the reason, but could never grasp it. Until you, Weiwei, came to Penglai, I realized that your aura was so direct that it was difficult to understand."
"Because being born with a spiritual body is so rare, I initially thought you were destined to ascend. For a cultivator to ascend is to fight against the heavens for their lives. I'm beginning to wonder if I misunderstood the initial hexagram."
Chao Jian wanted to ask for another divination, but Tianming was no longer willing to answer him.
So, Chao Jian vaguely guessed the "mastermind".
"After that, you suddenly changed. The thing that occupied your body was quite good at acting, but it couldn't hide it from me who had watched you grow up year after year. Not only me, but also my eldest brother had vaguely sensed it. However, we all went to the building to look at the Jade Book. The Jade Book was mixed with your heart's blood, which is naturally closely related to your spirit body. As a result, there was nothing abnormal in the Jade Book, so my eldest brother dispelled his doubts. I was worried, but I didn't alarm the snake. I just started to investigate the matter secretly. Then I found that all the abnormalities with you seemed to be related to one person, that is Fu Yi."
"When I first met Fu Yi, the aura of the Dao around him wasn't as strong as when I first met you. But gradually, I discovered that every time he came into contact with you, the aura of the Dao around him became more condensed. I began to suspect that these unusual behaviors were his doing, in order to steal the Heavenly Dao's favor from you."
"I originally wanted to get rid of Fu Yi as soon as possible. One night, you briefly returned to your body. You suddenly came looking for me, and I knew what had happened. I gave up on attacking him. I taught you how to consume mirages to strengthen your spirit, and see if you could wrestle control of your body from the other consciousness within. You did, and after that... you died."
When Ruan Wei's death was mentioned, Chao Jian's eyes inevitably darkened.
Ruan Wei: “…”
It turned out that it was the Second Uncle who taught the priest to swallow the mirage. She said that she didn't even know what was locked up in the back mountain, so how could she eat anything she wanted!
Ruan Wei still only has a small part of the memory of his past life.
These memories were passed on to her by the remaining red mole mark on her forehead, as well as Youying, who had always been with Ruan Wei.
Big Head's memories are all stored in the priest's head. Ruan Wei will never know what she refuses to say in her life.
Chao Jian continued, "Although the death of the body is frustrating, the spirit is much freer. Weiwei said she wanted to leave and asked me to wait, so I waited until Xuantong and the others... left, and then you came back."
Chao Jian looked at Ruan Wei, his eyes slightly deep:
"Through some means, I made a deal with Liudao. It sealed the memories of every life for me. In order to prevent Tianming from getting suspicious, Liudao will not release the seal until you meet Fu Yi. Therefore, I will help you find objects and plan in every life after I get the memories."
“…”
This was the first time Ruan Wei heard the truth about Chao Jian's remaining memory.
Ruan Wei's eyes darkened, her voice frosted with icy coldness. She emphasized the word "trade... Second Master, what did you trade your memories for?"
The Six Paths are not the masters of selfless dedication. They are kind but not giving for free.
There was silence during the meeting.
Ruan Wei's expression grew increasingly grim. The limitations of the audience were too obvious, and she naturally thought of it. So she asked, "...Is it a love spell?"
Chao Jian had never practiced love spells before, and he didn't even practice the ruthless way that was related to his profession.
For those who practice the way of love, the love mantra basically only serves the purpose of self-cultivation and self-improvement.
Perhaps Chao Jian did not practice love spells in his first life.
Ruan Wei had heard from his master that Chao Jian started practicing the love mantra after waking up one day. The origin of the love mantra remained a mystery, and it seemed to have been bestowed upon him in a dream.
The conditions for practicing the love spell were extremely harsh. It prohibited the practitioner from expressing any feelings. In short, all emotions must be abstained from. If violated, the spell that had already taken root within the body would immediately activate. This was clearly forcibly suppressing a living person into a state of being frozen in time!
After unraveling the mystery, Ruan Wei finally understood—
What Chaojian and Liudao traded was their own feelings.
As the Holy Spirit in charge of the reincarnation of spirits, Liudao wants to understand spirits better and experience it firsthand, but due to the limitations of his duties, he does not have the ability to understand emotions.
When he practices love mantras in the morning, he is lending his seven emotions and six desires to the six paths to feel. As a devotee, he naturally does not need and cannot talk about love anymore.
Ruan Wei could hardly suppress the guilt in his heart: "Second Uncle, you and Fairy Jinggan were clearly in love with each other in the past..."
"That's not necessary."
Chao Jian interrupted her, raised his eyelids, and said lightly: "I am naturally sentimental, so it doesn't matter if I am less sentimental."
"But this is my own business, Second Master, you don't have to be like this..."
"Ruan Wei."
Chao Jian frowned, looked at her sternly, and said unpredictably, "Don't let me hear such words again."
Chao Jian has always known about it.
Ruan Wei did not rebel against fate just for herself, perhaps at the beginning she did, but later, after she watched her fellow disciples die one after another, the thought of saving herself was no longer the only thought in her mind.
Ruan Wei will pay the price of his life time and time again to save himself, his fellow disciples, and Penglai.
Of course, you can also pay homage to me.
after all.
He is the children's second uncle.
Chao Jian didn't mind doing something for his nephew, just as Ruan Wei had made so many efforts for his fellow teacher and never spoke about it.
This is how they protected each other when they came from Penglai.
It's also mutual.
Ruan Wei was immediately scolded into shutting up. Although her mouth was shut, she felt more and more upset. She even began to resent her past self for being so ignorant and actually dragging her second uncle onto this pirate ship.
My former self = priest.
The priest, who was bored out of his mind, suddenly started sneezing: "Ahhh!"
As soon as Chao Jian saw Ruan Wei, he knew what she was thinking. He was speechless: "Besides, do you think you don't want to do it for me?"
Ruan Wei was stunned.
Chao Jian: "Your little emotion is nothing. Liu Dao is so worried that he has to pay you back!"
Liudao: I can’t do any business that will lose money.
Ruan Wei: “…”
Second Uncle, your words are so harsh.
