บท 742: Leaving Everything Behind

"Why do I want to get rid of this body? First of all, we need to understand who I am."

Jing Jiu's line of sight fixed on the distant stream among the peaks, which looked like a golden whip under the midday sunlight.

"I'm not the upstream of a river in my former life nor the downstream in my present life. There is an interesting metaphor used by the Zen sects to describe this karma."

He raised the forefinger on his right hand after drawing back his line of sight.

Pah!!!

A sword fire started burning on the tip of his finger.

"It's like a flame being used to light a stick; then the flame will be used to light another stick and so on. As such, are the flame on the last stick and the one on my fingertip the same flame?"

The peaks were deathly quiet.

Ada lay in Zhao Layue's bosom while looking at the flame on Jing Jiu's fingertip with narrowed eyes.
