The infinite heavens descend upon the world

The sacred barrier was accidentally destroyed by Maitreya and Coral, and the power of the barrier that suppressed monsters was also weakened. After Kikyo noticed the changes and prepared to look for an opportunity at the foot of the mountain, she also headed deep into Bailing Mountain.

In the misty mountains, the holy energy disappeared and was filled with evil energy. However, Kikyo met a figure sitting on the road, covered by a blue barrier.

There was a figure inside the barrier, but he was as dry as a skeleton, with skin shriveled and close to the bones, like a mummy, but there was a hint of light yellow in his dark eyes.

"Monster!" The fat little dragon was frightened by the appearance of the Baolai people and hid behind Kikyo, trembling.

Kikyo felt that the barrier outside this person's body was as pure as the one on Bailing Mountain before, and knew that the person in front of her was Bai Xinshang.

"I am here to pay my respects to the highly respected and virtuous monk who was highly respected during his lifetime."

As a shrine maiden, Kikyo respectfully paid a visit to Master Bai Xin.

"Are you here to look for Naraku?" Master Bai Xin's dry lips moved slightly and a sound came out.

"Is Naraku really hiding in the barrier you set up?" Kikyo asked directly if Master Bai Xin's barrier was hiding Naraku.

Bai Xinshang knew that this clever witch knew everything. Bai Xinshang asked casually, "Can you see through my heart?"

"It doesn't matter whether you see it or not, your heart is actually naked!" Kikyo's answer was very clear. Bai Xinshang's inner thoughts were actually very obvious, so it didn't matter whether he saw through it or not.

Bai Xinshangren's shriveled eyes shrank slightly, and he recalled the scene where Naraku comforted him. It turned out that my inner weakness was so obvious.

"Isn't it ridiculous? As a saint, I saved and forgave the world... but I died in confusion and pain. In the end, it was the monster Naraku who saved my soul..." Master Bai Xin said self-deprecatingly.

“Have you really been saved?”

Kikyo looked at the eminent monk in front of her who was revered as a saint by the world. If he was really redeemed, then what was the sadness in his heart that was transmitted through the barrier?

"I am not a saint. I finally realized this when I died."

Kikyo still doesn't understand. Is it true that following Naraku's philosophy to hate humans and then opening a barrier to protect Naraku from his injuries, is this really what Master Bai Xin wants?

"Continue to allow this deceptive holy place to exist. The souls you save cannot be truly redeemed. Do you think there are really people in this world who are not confused and untainted?"

"I was forced to play this kind of person before, and I tried my best to do it." said Bai Xinshang.

"I remember it was the same when I was alive. I was always trying to survive without being confused or even making mistakes." Kikyo thought of the things that happened in her life.

"As expected, you are also a deceased person." Master Bai Xin also realized that the witch in front of him was actually a deceased person like him.

"That's why I more or less understand your pain. As a human being, you are confused, so you hope to become a noble person." Kikyo said that she could understand Bai Xinshangren. After all, everyone will be confused and make mistakes.

"I can no longer become a Bodhisattva. My obsession with survival has caused my soul to fall into hell." Master Bai Xin said sadly.

"It is not shameful to shed tears because you cherish life. Please, remove this barrier first."

Kikyo believed that the reason why Bai Xinshang failed to become a Buddha was because his obsession with survival caused his soul to fall into hell, which was not shameful, so she begged him to break the barrier and release his soul.

"So what if you remove it? Do you want to save my soul?" Master Bai Xin asked back.

"I hope to touch your soul with these hands." Kikyo is confident that she can calm Bai Xinshang's inner sadness, which can also be regarded as a kind of redemption.

"Okay, I've removed the barrier on me, the priestess of the dead." Master Bai Xin realized that Kikyo wanted to help him to be reincarnated, so he removed the blue barrier that was protecting him.

But Master Bai Xin did not think that the other party, a dead witch who was still obsessed with this world, could really redeem himself, because he was buried alive during his lifetime and died with resentment after death, so his soul was full of resentment and could not be redeemed at all.

Kikyo didn't say anything. She put down her bow and arrow, walked up to her beloved and gently hugged him.

"I can touch your soul like this, but I can't feel the resentment and hatred in your heart. You are not crying because of humans and the world."

At this moment, the two of them were sensing each other, and Kikyo did not feel any anger or resentment from Master Bai Xin.

Bai Xinshang recalled the scene where Naraku comforted him. As expected, the miko in front of him really wanted to redeem himself instead of using him.

The eyes of Master Bai Xin, who had long been dry, became moist. Memories brought him back to his life. The memories reminded him of his original intention: "That's right! I wanted to pass away like a saint, but I don't want to know my soft side. I cried because I was defeated by my weakness."

Master Bai Xin once again faced his inner self and realized that he had originally hoped to be as perfect as a saint and to pass away willingly.

In the end, he was defeated by his own weaknesses. Bai Xinshang did not want to admit his weaknesses so he was still confused after his death. It was a painful thing to be defeated by himself.

From the time of his death till now, Bai Xin Shangren has been living in painful memories and self-blame. Neither Naraku, who came to use him, nor Miroku, who was also a wizard, understood him, and only Kikyo truly understood him.

"You have given everything for the world in your life. You have done enough. Please set yourself free!"

Kikyo knew that it was because Master Bai Xin had set too high standards for her and that she was crying because she failed to meet them. However, Kikyo now prayed to Master Bai Xin to release his soul and let his soul be free.

Master Bai Xin got the answer he wanted and found his original intention. In Kikyo's arms, he truly untied the knot in his heart, was redeemed, and left the world. However, the fragments of Master Bai Xin's soul remained pure in the end, and turned into pure white holy light and disappeared.

After seeing off Master Bai Xin, Kikyo followed the Rakshasa ghost's last wish and took out the strand of hair from her arms. As the mountain breeze blew, the strand of hair turned into white light and dissipated. Perhaps at this moment, the Rakshasa ghost and Master Bai Xin were both redeemed.

Everyone in the world will be confused and troubled. There is no one who is without any stain. Even Kikyo herself was full of resentment at the moment of resurrection and wanted to drag Inuyasha to hell. No matter whether they are saints or villains, they all hope to be redeemed in the end. Perhaps this is what people call passing through the underworld peacefully, or leaving a good reputation after death.

"Where is Long Bao?"

Kikyo calmed herself down and looked around, but there was no trace of little Fatty Dragon. Where had Long Bao gone? Could it be that Ling Xuan had already arrived at Bailing Mountain and followed his master?
