Chapter 439: False Self
Chapter 439: False Self
Everyone was so focused on running into the tomb that few paid any attention to the monk.
When everyone heard the monk speak, they remembered that there was a Jindan cultivator with extremely strong fighting power here.
In just a moment, the originally crowded tomb passage was squeezed out into a path wide enough for one person to pass.
Tian Lin saw the monk in a cassock approaching, and You said to the monk, "Then I'll have to trouble you, Master."
"Donor Tian, you don't need to call me Master Monk. Just call me Monk Kongwu."
After the monk finished speaking, he walked to the front without hesitation.
He first stood in front of the wall of the flesh hole, then opened his hands and let go of the cassock on his body.
The robe sticks to the flesh walls around it, isolating the flesh walls from the outside, while forming a safe passage paved with the robe inside.
Monk Kongwu stepped aside to let everyone pass.
Tian Lin and others were not polite either, and walked towards the depths of the cassock passage on their robes.
However, although the cassock passage is safe, it also prevents people from seeing the real situation of the tomb passage outside the cassock.
We are here to look for treasure and save people, not for tourism.
"We should have escaped from those flesh monsters and reached a safe place now, right?"
Someone spoke up, implying that the monk should take off his robes so as not to delay everyone from finding the magic weapon.
The monk said quickly: "This tomb passage is not safe now, don't worry, donors. If there is any treasure, I will tell you."
Others cannot see what is happening outside the robe because the robe blocks their spiritual awareness and vision.
But monks are not subject to such restrictions, because the robes belong to them and they can see what is outside the robes.
"It's not that we don't trust the mage's character, but we're afraid that the mage's energy is limited and he won't have time to identify the objects along the way, and may lose the treasure."
The more they say this, the more they doubt emptiness. Suspicion will keep treasures from others and not share them.
This is also considered as putting yourself in other people's shoes.
"Donor Tian, what do you think?"
Kong Wu was also a little skeptical, as he hadn't seen many jars and pots along the way.
Could it be that I really was wrong?
"Master, please pay attention to the people walking in the tomb passage to see if there is the girl I was with last time. It is better not to take off this cassock."
Tian Lin still trusted Kong Wu's character. Besides, if there really was any good magic weapon, those Nascent Soul masters who had gone ahead would have looted it long ago. Why would they leave it for the people who came later?
But if it was an ordinary magic weapon, Tian Lin would not take it seriously.
"Since Master Tian is unwilling to leave the cassock, please let us out of the cassock and we will slowly explore the tomb passage by ourselves."
Some people were still unwilling to compromise. Fortunately, the monk said, "There's something going on ahead!"
Without the monk saying anything, someone had already heard the noise coming from the front.
"It's the voice of the Sword Sect elder."
A Jindan cultivator spoke, and then a group of people accelerated and rushed forward.
Soon, the group of people saw a stone chamber and the elder of the Sword Sect standing at the entrance of the stone chamber.
"Monk, Mr. Tian, you came at the right time!"
When people who had seen the conflict between the Sword Sect and the Wending Sect heard the elder of the Sword Sect calling Tian Lin "Little Friend Tian", they were stunned.
Tian Lin reacted the fastest. After seeing the elder of the Sword Sect, he immediately grabbed the monk and said, "This is fake, kill it!" Even though the monk trusted Tian Lin's character, he couldn't help but be stunned at this time.
But he had experienced the shrine being robbed by Yunding Gong, so although he did not listen to Tian Lin, he immediately took action against the elder of the Sword Sect.
But he also held the shrine tightly and looked at the elder of the Sword Sect over there vigilantly.
"Why do you say that, Mr. Tian?"
The elder of the Sword Sect looked at Tian Lin in confusion, but heard Tian Lin say, "You good Yunding Gong, can you deceive us by changing your appearance?"
The elder of the Sword Sect heard this and shouted, "Good old Sixth Brother, you and I are sworn brothers in front of Hou Tu. Now that my brother has come out of seclusion, you don't help him, but actually want to ask outsiders to kill me!"
"You are indeed Ran Lang——"
Others did not know the name "Old Six", but Tian Lin knew that when he became sworn brothers with Langguan in the Tianmen world, he was ranked sixth.
"No, you are not Ran Lang."
The group of people were confused by Tian Lin's words. What does it mean to be Ran Lang and not Ran Lang?
"You are the remnant soul of Ran Lang. There will never be another Ran Lang in this world."
After Tian Lin finished speaking, the monk next to him said, "Donor, you are wrong. The Pure Land is the only world in the world. Only those who are born in the Pure Land of Bliss have only one 'I'.
Among all living beings, there are three thousand "I"s in the three thousand worlds. "
The young monk felt that his words were very confusing. He didn't know how to express his thoughts in words, and was afraid that Tian Lin would not believe him, so he explained:
"This is what my master told me - he said that for a mortal to ascend to heaven and become a true immortal, he needs to cut off the 'false self' in all worlds and achieve the final 'true self'. This is the severance of worldly ties for a cultivator."
Tian Lin seemed to understand, he looked at the Sword Sect elder in the distance and said: "So, are you the fake me or the real me?"
The Sword Sect elder stopped pretending and laughed loudly, "I and the Ran Lang who just came out of the tomb are both 'fake selves'. Only after I kill all the 'fake selves', there will only be one 'me' in this world, and that is the real me that is neither fake nor false."
He said, "Old Six, you are also a fake me. In another world you don't know, there is another Old Six!"
Is there another me in this world?
Then, would my self in another world also have an entry?
No, there should be no entries in another world. Because all the opportunities of the false self are different. For example, Ran Lang in Tianmen has completely different experiences and opportunities from Ran Lang in this world. It can be said that he is a completely independent person.
But, is there really another me in this world?
Will the other person’s personality and goals be the same as yours?
Tian Lin thought a lot in his mind in an instant, and soon he laughed at himself: "How many fake selves there are in this countless worlds? It's too far away for me. After all, I'm not even at the Nascent Soul stage now."
"Monk, kill it!"
Tian Lin spoke to the monk again, but Ran Lang said, "Sixth Brother, have you forgotten the oath you made in front of Hou Tu? You asked others to kill me, aren't you afraid of the backlash of your oath?"
After hearing Ran Lang's threat, Tian Lin said, "The one who swore an oath to me was Ran Lang from that world. What does it have to do with you?"
"Ran Lang from that world has been killed by me. I inherited his memory and karma. Otherwise, how could I know that you are Lao Liu? Now I can't kill you, and you can't kill me either."
The monk next to him said, "He is lying!"
Tian Lin looked at the monk in confusion, wanting to hear his explanation.
The monk refused to explain, but just looked at Tian Lin and said, "Do you believe me, Mr. Tian? I just saw that he was lying."
Frankly speaking, Tian Lin doubted the monk's intelligence, but he still trusted his character.
"kill him!"
After hesitating for a moment, Tian Lin spoke to the monk again.
