Wuhun: Desert Death on the left hand, the world on the right hand

"How long does it take to reincarnate into a complete soul?"

Bai Yun's voice was low and hoarse, as if it was squeezed out from the depths of his throat.

The Illusionary Lord was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "To condense the three souls and seven spirits, you need to reincarnate at least ten times."

"Ten times..."

Bai Yun muttered to himself, a trace of pain flashed in his eyes. Ten reincarnations, what a long time!

"Then... after your rebirth, will Lina still remember me?"

Bai Yun's voice was trembling and full of anticipation.

The Illusionary Lord shook his head and sighed, "I won't remember it."

Bai Yun's body shook, as if all his strength had been drained away.

After ten reincarnations, what he got in return was a Lina who didn't remember him. How could he accept this?

He closed his eyes tightly, and every moment he spent with Lina came to his mind.

The shyness of the first meeting, the sweetness of falling in love, the touching vows of eternal love...all of these will disappear with Lina's reincarnation.

After a long time, Bai Yun opened his eyes, with a determined light flashing in his eyes.

"I...want to reincarnate with her."

Bai Yun's voice was firm and powerful, as if it was a cry from the depths of his soul.

The Illusionary Lord was slightly stunned, then burst into laughter: "Great! What a passionate man! The test of the second level is reincarnation. Since you have this determination, I will fulfill your wish!"

The laughter died down, and the Illusionary Lord's expression became serious. He said, "However, every time you reincarnate, I will seal most of your memories. After ten reincarnations, if you can still remember who you are and find Lina, you will pass the test."

The Lord of Phantom Sky waved his hand, and an ancient pagoda appeared in front of Baiyun.

This tower is not Baiyun’s Nine-Layer Fantasy Tower, but is completely black, exuding an ancient and mysterious atmosphere. There are countless strange runes carved on the tower, as if it contains endless mysteries.

The Lord of Illusionary Sky waved his hand again, and a pagoda emitting brilliant light flew towards the white clouds.

This is exactly Baiyun’s Nine-Layered Illusion Tower, but at this moment, after being strengthened by the Lord of Illusion, it has become even more dazzling, and the light flowing on it contains heart-pounding energy fluctuations.

"Just consider it as a reward for passing the first level." The Lord of Phantom Sky said calmly.

Bai Yun respectfully took the Nine-Layered Illusion Tower, his heart filled with gratitude.

"As for this tower,"

The Illusionary Lord pointed at the dark pagoda and said, "This is the Eternal Reincarnation Pagoda. I got it from killing a monk named Tathagata ten epochs ago."

Bai Yun was shocked when he heard this. Tathagata? That's the legendary Buddha!

The Illusionary Lord seemed to see Bai Yun's surprise, smiled faintly, and said: "Don't be surprised, nothing is impossible in this world."

After that, he pointed lightly, and Lina's obsession turned into a stream of light and flew into the Tower of Eternal Reincarnation.

"go in."

The Lord of Phantom Sky said to Baiyun.

Bai Yun took a deep breath and stepped into the Tower of Eternal Reincarnation resolutely.

Inside the tower, time and space flow and the scene changes.

In his first life, Bai Yun was reincarnated as an ordinary cowherd named Niu Wa. He came from a poor family, his parents died young, and his daily task was to drive the village's cattle to the mountains to graze.

Niu Wa's neighbor recently gave birth to a daughter named Cuihua. However, Cuihua was born mentally retarded, slow to react, and unable to express even simple language.

Cuihua's parents originally wanted to abandon their daughter. After all, in such a poor era, it was very difficult to raise a healthy child, let alone a child with congenital mental retardation.

When Niu Wa saw Cuihua for the first time, she was held in her mother's arms, staring blankly at the sky.

At that moment, Niu Wa's mind was like a thunder explosion, and countless fragments of pictures emerged, sweet memories, unforgettable love, and the face that haunted him...Lina!

He suddenly hugged his head and groaned in pain. Fragments of memory were like sharp blades, wreaking havoc in his mind.

He remembered a lot, including the woman he loved, their vows, and the heart-wrenching farewell...but he could not remember his own name.

Who am I? Who am I?!

Cuihua's parents looked at Niu Wa who suddenly went crazy, and became more determined to abandon Cuihua.

That night, Cuihua's parents secretly abandoned Cuihua in the wilderness under the cover of darkness.

Although Niu Wa has lost most of his memories, there seems to be some mysterious force pulling him and preventing him from sleeping peacefully.

He felt an inexplicable uneasiness and a heart-wrenching pain.

He got up and walked out of the house. In the faint moonlight, he saw the furtive figures of Cuihua's parents.

He followed them quietly and saw them put a swaddling cloth on the side of the road, then left without looking back.

Niu Wa's heart suddenly sank, and an ominous premonition came over him. He rushed forward, opened the swaddling clothes, and saw Cuihua's young and dull face.

At that moment, he seemed to see Lina again.

He picked up Cuihua, her small body looked particularly fragile in his arms.

He hugged her tightly, tears falling silently. He didn't know who he was, but he knew that he couldn't leave her.

He carried Cuihua back to his home, determined to take good care of her no matter what, just as he had taken care of Lina.

Even though he forgot his name and their past, the love in his heart never changed.

The next day, Niu Wa secretly brought Cuihua back home, took good care of her and treated her like a treasure.

Although Cuihua was mentally retarded and unable to take care of herself, Niu Wa never despised her and instead loved her even more.

He taught her to talk, to walk, and to know the world. Under his care, Cuihua

Gradually, she learned some simple words and could walk staggeringly. Although she still couldn't live like a normal person, the innocent smile on her face made Niu Wa feel extremely relieved.

Niu Wa's family is poor, and in order to support Cuihua, he works harder.

He herded cattle during the day and wove straw sandals at night to supplement the family income. Although life was hard, Niu Wa never complained.

He had only one thought in his mind, which was to take good care of Cuihua and let her live happily.

As time went by, Niu Wa and Cui Hua grew up.

Niu Wa became stronger and Cui Hua grew into a graceful young lady. Although she still could not communicate normally, her clear eyes and innocent smile deeply attracted Niu Wa.

On a moonlit night, Niu Wa sat in the yard, watching Cui Hua dancing in the moonlight. Although Cui Hua could not dance, her clumsy movements were full of innocence, which made Niu Wa intoxicated.

At that moment, Niu Wa felt an inexplicable throbbing in his heart. He realized that he had fallen deeply in love with Cuihua.

He walked up to Cuihua, gently took her hand, looked into her eyes lovingly, and said, "Cuihua, I love you."

Although Cuihua didn't understand the meaning of Niu Wa's words, she could feel Niu Wa's deep affection.

She gave an innocent smile and nodded slightly.

Niu Wa excitedly hugged Cuihua in his arms, tears silently streaming down his face.

He knew that this love was destined to be tragic because Cuihua could not give him normal love or a complete family.

But he doesn't care, he just wants to protect Cuihua forever.

However, fate always likes to play tricks on people.

In a cold winter, Cuihua suddenly fell ill with a high fever and a persistent cough.

Niu Wa was extremely anxious and sought medical help everywhere, but to no avail.

Cuihua's condition became more and more serious, and she eventually passed away on a windy and snowy night.

Niu Wa held Cuihua's cold body in his arms, feeling extremely heartbroken.

He looked up to the sky and howled, tears streaming down his face. He had lost Cuihua, and also lost the hope of living.

He held Cuihua's body and walked to the hillside where they once grazed cattle together, dug a hole, and buried Cuihua there.

Then he lay beside Cuihua's grave, closed his eyes quietly, and left this world forever.

Second life,

When Bai Yun returned to his hometown after a long absence, he was already in his sixties.

He wandered around the world all his life, and his poems and songs were famous all over the world, but he remained alone.

Countless beauties admired him and were willing to cook for him, but he rejected them all. He always felt that they were not the ones he was looking for.

Now, with gray hair and unsteady steps, he finally understood that perhaps the person he was looking for did not exist at all.

With endless loneliness, he returned to the small mountain village where he was born and raised, intending to end his remaining life there.

The village is still the same, but there are more unfamiliar faces.

He walked slowly along the country road, looking at the familiar scenery before him, feeling mixed emotions.

Suddenly, a loud noise broke the silence of the village.

A group of children gathered together, laughing and playing, holding stones in their hands, and seemed to be attacking something.

Bai Yun was unhappy and walked up to them and shouted, "What are you doing?"

When the children saw the white-haired old man coming, they stopped what they were doing and dispersed timidly.

Bai Yun then saw clearly that the person being besieged was an old woman with ragged clothes and unkempt hair.

She sat there stupidly, allowing the children to bully her without resisting.

Bai Yun's heart trembled suddenly. Although the old woman was haggard and dirty, he recognized her at a glance. His first life memory was instantly restored. Those clear eyes, yet with a hint of stupidity, were clearly Cuihua!

He staggered to the old woman and stretched out his trembling hand, trying to touch her face.

The old woman seemed frightened and shrank away from his touch.

Bai Yun burst into tears and choked up as she shouted, "Cuihua, it's me, I'm Niu Wa..."

The old woman looked at him blankly, her eyes empty and without any reaction.

Bai Yun was extremely sad, he knew that Cuihua no longer remembered him. Perhaps, she had never really known him.

He knelt down in front of the old woman, hugged her tightly and cried bitterly.

He knew that the person he had been looking for all his life was right here, right beside him.

But he missed too much and lost too much.

In this life, he had been looking for her all his life, but in the end, they met in this way. He understood that this was fate's arrangement, and that he owed her. He would take good care of her in the days to come, making up for the regrets of his previous life, until the last moment of his life.
