Lin Dan was awakened by a severe heartache. As soon as she opened her eyes, she found herself standing in a very cramped and dark place. Ten steps away were two iron doors, each locked with a man and a woman. The woman was wearing a red dress and had a beautiful face. She stared at Lin Dan with eyes full of anger and vigilance.
The man's appearance was more magnificent than the woman's. He was wearing a thin white robe that spread out like a flower in the darkness. His long black hair was scattered all over the ground, and a faint fragrance wafted from his hair when it was blown by the wind. His extremely gorgeous face was as radiant as white jade. He sat quietly behind the iron gate, his eyes slightly narrowed, his thin lips slightly pursed, his expression neither happy nor sad. If his chest had not been rising and falling, Lin Dan would have really thought that this was just a lifelike sculpture of Buddha, radiating a holy light from head to toe.
However, Lin Dan had no time to care about this man and woman. She glanced at them indifferently, looked at the surrounding environment, and left without saying a word. This is obviously a dungeon, surrounded by heavy guards. It is not a good place to sort out memories.
After Lin Dan left, the woman in red relaxed and said angrily: "Master, she just wanted to kill me!"
The man didn't even open his eyes, and said slowly: "There's no need to care about a dying person."
The woman in red rushed to the prison door and asked in a low voice, "Master, how do you know she is dying?"
The man's mind and spirit were focused, his breathing gradually stopped, and he actually entered a state of meditation. The woman knew that no matter what she said, her master couldn't hear her at this moment, so she had to keep quiet. She carefully looked at her master's gorgeous face through the cell door, with admiration, struggle, awe and other emotions flashing in her eyes...
…………
Lin Dan has lost her memory again. Apart from her real name, Lin Dan, she can't remember anything. Why use "又"? Because she seemed to be very familiar with this situation and was extremely good at dealing with it, she adjusted her mood almost immediately, without letting outsiders notice any clues, and then found a secluded place to sort out the memories in her brain.
The original owner was also called Lin Dan, and he was the left protector of the East Saint Sect. This place is the headquarters of the East Saint Sect, located in the hinterland of Longyin Mountain. The Eastern Saint Religion is biased in its actions and expands rapidly. In recent years, it has been denounced as a demonic cult by the righteous, and they want to eliminate it as soon as possible. As the protector of the cult, Lin Dan is naturally regarded as a witch.
In the original owner's memory, she had naturally done a lot of bad things, but who could have known that all of this was forced. The original owner was an orphan who was adopted by the old leader of the East Saint Sect and taught martial arts when she was young. In order to thank the old leader for his kindness, the original owner vowed to protect the young master, the old leader's son He Chongling. When she was twelve or thirteen years old and had made some progress in martial arts, the old leader asked her if she wanted to go further. She said she wanted to without hesitation, so the old leader asked her to take a poison pill and hand her life over to the young master, and then he taught her a top-level martial arts technique.
The original owner was loyal to the old leader, and had a deep affection for the young master during their daily interactions, so he was naturally willing to work for the two of them. A few years later, the old leader passed away and the new leader took his place. The original owner also grew up and had his own thoughts. Only then did he realize that what he had swallowed was not poison but a kind of insect. This poisonous insect is parasitic in the heart meridian and cannot be removed. If she has any disloyalty to He Chongling, she will be cut into pieces. If she has murderous intentions towards He Chongling, her heart will explode and she will die before she can do anything.
When Lin Dan arrived, the original owner had already died in agony. Fortunately, the violently tumbling poisonous insect was pacified by Lin Dan in time, otherwise it would have been beyond help. Now, Lin Dan's heart still aches slightly. It seems that his ventricle has been bitten by the poisonous insects and is full of holes. He doesn't have much time left to live.
However, Lin Dan has no other memories, but a strong obsession with the word "alive". She had finally gotten this body, and she didn't come here to die for nothing. She desperately searched her mind for any useful clues, and the bitter smile on her lips gradually deepened.
The original owner's life experience can only be described in two words - miserable. When he was young, he was trained like a beast by the old leader and never had a good day. But when he grew up, he fell in love with a heartless person. He Chongling used emotions and poisonous insects to completely control her, but did not treat her as a human being. Countless times, the original owner was hacked and killed by the enemy and almost died in order to protect He Chongling, but He Chongling threw her into the pile of corpses as if she were a piece of garbage, without even a spare glance.
In his opinion, the original owner was just a knife. If the blade was bent, just throw it away. It was not worth it.
Fortunately, the original owner had a very strong vitality. He almost died several times, but woke up in time, pushed away the corpse on his body, wiped the blood off his face, and staggered back to the East Saint Church by himself. She was abandoned time and time again, but she returned to He Chongling again and again, without feeling despair or tiredness, and only felt a dull pain in her heart in the dead of night.
Suddenly one day, she passed by Qingjiang River and met a man with a gorgeous face and extraordinary temperament who was drifting down the river on a bamboo raft. He accidentally met her numb eyes and slowly smiled. This subtle and ordinary expression planted a seed of happiness in the original owner's heart, which then blossomed into a beautiful flower.
She couldn't control the unspeakable desire in her heart, so she followed the man all the way south and protected him. She silently watched him playing the piano, drinking and appreciating flowers. If he smiled, she would smile too. If he frowned, she would feel a pain in her heart. Only then did she realize that her love for He Chongling was not love, but just obedience and awe. If the man had not appeared, she would have been trapped in the quagmire of He Chongling for the rest of her life until she drowned.
The moment she figured it out, she kidnapped the man without hesitation and brought him back to the Eastern Saint Religion, asking the people in the sect to take good care of him. She didn't dare to desecrate the man and was satisfied just by looking at him from a distance. But gradually, she found that the man was getting closer and closer to her maid. They often gathered together to chat, both with happy smiles on their faces, as if they had endless topics to talk about. That would not have been all. The originally heartless He Chongling actually treated the maid differently and directly promoted her to the rank of Saint, whose status instantly surpassed that of the original owner.
The original owner had been suppressing her jealousy and resentment because she knew that since He Chongling had set his eyes on the maid, he would do whatever it takes to get her, and by then the maid and the man would be separated without her having to do anything. What she thought turned out to be correct. He Chongling soon forced the maid to marry him and quickly prepared for the wedding. The maid went on a hunger strike and banged her head against the pillar, and her resistance was very fierce. As the saying goes, "one should be careful not to use the wrong weapon when attacking a rat", He Chongling was worried that the maid would hurt him, so he had to lock her up and threaten her with the man's life. It turned out that he also discovered the special relationship between the two and took advantage of it, so the maid had to submit.
The two most important people in his life were taken away by the maid one after another. The original owner finally couldn't bear it anymore and ran to the dungeon to kill her. However, he didn't expect that the poisonous insect was restricted by He Chongling, and the murderous intention towards the maid would also cause the poisonous insect to riot. He had long regarded the maid as his own half and protected her tightly.
The original owner went through life and death for He Chongling, and her blood was almost drained out, but she couldn't even get a glance from him, while the maid got everything without any effort. Before she died, the original owner, who was enduring the pain of having her heart dug out, had only one last obsession left - if possible, she wanted to get rid of it all, be a good person, and never be trampled on by anyone again.
It is easy to say that we should be good people and not be trampled upon, but it is so difficult to do it! Lin Dan shook his head and smiled bitterly, thinking to himself, if he couldn't even save his life, how could he live a normal life? However, in a flash, she grasped a long-fuzzy clue in her mind, so she hurriedly found the top-level martial arts book taught to the original owner by the old leader and read it carefully.
This martial arts book is called "Ashura Sword". The first sentence of the book is: Only those who are heartless and merciless are Shura, who will survive life and death and never be destroyed. What follows is the mysterious mantra and sword techniques. The original owner practiced according to the mantras and sword techniques, and after reaching the level of a first-rate master, he stopped moving forward and made no further progress. She has been seeking a breakthrough over the years, but has never been able to find the right method, so she had to give up.
But in Lin Dan's opinion, the most important mantra of this technique is exactly these opening words. What does it mean to be heartless and merciless and be a Shura? What does it mean that there will be life and death forever? The original owner fell in a pool of blood countless times, and his death was inevitable, but he always survived miraculously. In Lin Dan's opinion, this extremely tenacious vitality is truly a monster.
No one is immortal, but the original owner seems to be the one who is immortal. Is this related to her physique or the technique she practiced? Lin Dan quickly flipped through the martial arts techniques, and then told himself firmly that if he practiced the Shura Sword to perfection, the answer would naturally become clear.
Life and death, never extinction, this is obviously Lin Dan's only chance of survival. To be heartless and ruthless may be as difficult as ascending to heaven for others, but it is very simple for Lin Dan. She seemed to be born without all emotions, and was completely isolated from the original owner's feelings, and her state of mind immediately began to improve. At the same time, a sharp aura suddenly emerged in her dantian, traveling through her meridians to her limbs and bones, crushing her blood vessels, bones, flesh and blood one by one, and overwhelming pain hit her like a tsunami.
Lin Dan suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, but still maintained his sitting posture and dared not move. The pain she was enduring at this moment was many times more intense than the heart-wrenching pain she had experienced before. Those boundless energies were like steel knives, determined to turn her into a pool of blood. But besides that, there was also a vital energy generated in her dantian, which quickly repaired her scarred body. Her bones became stronger, her flesh became tougher, and her meridians became wider...
She seemed to have died thousands of times, but she became indestructible through each death. In the torture that ordinary people could not imagine, she never fainted. She vaguely realized that only by discarding those unnecessary emotions could she become truly strong. Only truly strong people would not be trampled upon. What kind of pain and choices must one go through to achieve such enlightenment?
