Chapter 520: Chapter 520: Let Go of Evil Thoughts, The Green Lotus Blooms
“The chance to escape only existed for the instant the bottle’s seal was broken, and we agreed that the first to escape would be the appointed avenger, taking revenge for us all.”
“And I, I am that chosen one.”
The pupils of the Red Scarf Evil Spirit kept changing, as if it was struggling against the evil thoughts, trying to maintain its last shred of clarity.
“He will have his couppance, there’s no need for you to delay your own salvation.”
The Red Scarf Evil Spirit furrowed its brow, “You want to let him go?”
“I want you to let go of yourself.”
“Let go of myself?” The gaze of the Red Scarf Evil Spirit beca vacant and lost.
“Actually, your obsession with revenge isn’t that strong, and you might not have beco an evil spirit. But because you devoured so many innocent and pure spiritual bodies, and made revenge your mission, that’s why you beca an evil spirit.”
“Regardless, I’ve already beco an evil spirit.”
“If you give up thoughts of revenge and relinquish your evil thoughts before causing real harm, you still have a slim chance of being restored.”
The Red Scarf Evil Spirit shook its head, “I have no way back. I carry the mission of revenge. If I give up, I’ll be letting them down…”
Devouring the souls of companions inflicts a pain a hundred tis more agonizing than one’s own destruction.
It was only the belief in vengeance that kept it going.
“Will they be revived after your revenge?”
The Red Scarf Evil Spirit beca anguished, clutching its head as a shroud of black mist enveloped it, threatening to turn it into a dark cloud.
“Let go of the evil thoughts, and I will find Horse-face to co for you. Maybe he can help.”
“Can he really help?” The dark clouds dispersed, and a powerful light burst from its eyes.
“Perhaps.” Hua Jinyan didn’t offer a definite answer.
Sotis the mind is very contradictory. When soone is very sure about sothing, it can give rise to doubt that they might be deceiving oneself. But, when soone is nonchalant with about a fifty percent certainty and fifty percent denial, one tends to cling desperately to that sliver of hope.
“I’m willing to believe you!”
The Red Scarf Evil Spirit closed its eyes. It reached out slowly and retied its unraveled red scarf. The black aura around it gradually dissipated, and it never glanced again at the old man lying on the ground.
Born into a family of geomancers, he had chanted mantras since childhood. As he silently recited the Great Compassion Mantra, tears slipped from the corners of his eyes, dropping one by one to the ground, turning into wisp after wisp of blue smoke. Beneath his feet, ethereal green lotuses began to spring forth, hazy and indistinct.
Laying down the butcher knife, one can beco a Buddha on the spot…
One after another, the green lotuses blood, and within each blooming center lay a closed-eyed spiritual body.
In each green lotus was a spiritual body.
These were his classmates who he had devoured. As he let go of his evil thoughts, they were released from his spiritual body, reborn from within the flowers…
“It seems there’s no need to find Horse-face after all, you’ve solved it by yourself.”
At these words, the Red Scarf Evil Spirit opened its eyes. At that mont its whole body seed corporeal, devoid of resentnt or evil, an utterly pure spiritual body.
Looking towards the lotuses, he saw his classmates lying in peaceful slumber within the flowers, and he softly curved his lips upward, whispering, “Thank you.”
The green lotuses swayed gracefully, and the specks of pollen transford into flecks of golden light that began to float up, enveloping all the spiritual bodies present, even those wandering wild animal spirits in the iron cages. In an instant, they coalesced into a beam of light that shot into the sky, and from afar ca a voice: “Goodbye.”
Hua Jinyan retracted his gaze from the disappearing beam of light, finally resting it on the old man lying on the ground.
Before long, Xiangxiang and Mo Haihao found this underground laboratory.
Upon seeing Little Taotie sound asleep on top of Big White Wolf, both were extrely anxious.
Xiangxiang asked urgently, “What’s wrong with Little Taotie?”
