The term "previous life" is very apt; the current state of the homeless person truly resembles that of someone who has "reincarnated" after drinking the Meng Po soup.

Those who don't know might think that the homeless are also members of the Vidyadhara clan.

One can only say that this concept of "past life," "reincarnation," and "new life" has a strong flavor of "Sumeru Buddhism."

Seeing this, some people even thought that it would be better to just let it go and let the homeless continue to be homeless.

But this is obviously impossible. The cause and effect of the past are only covered up by the World Tree, not disappeared. If the wanderer does not want to become 'Scaramucci', he must bear the past.

The homeless man himself also wanted to know about his past, so he asked: "Then may I ask... what kind of person was I in my previous life?"

This question left Paimon and Nasita speechless.

What kind of person were you in your past life? A villain who was fooled and made stupid, someone who could have been a good person, a pitiful yet hateful person.

No one answered the question in the animation, but everyone's silence spoke volumes; the wanderer had already understood.

"You have something to tell me, but you can't bear to say it. It seems my past life wasn't very fulfilling."

"But I can handle it, please tell me the truth."

Upon hearing this, the soldier was somewhat dazed. He looked up at 'himself' on the screen.

It was a pure, white doll, the existence he longed for, a state he could not attain.

On screen, his expression was gentle but his gaze was resolute; he was stronger than 'himself'.

The wanderer wanted to understand his past, perhaps because of the questions the merchant had asked him back then.

'Why do people with no purpose travel in the rain?' The wanderer also wanted to know why; he wanted to understand his past.

Even if that past may have been somewhat unsatisfactory.

Chapter 827 Searching for the Scattered Soldiers' Memories Again

Since the homeless man indicated that he could afford it, Nasita decided not to hold back.

Nasita said, "Then I'll be frank. In your past life, you did many things that could be called 'evil.'"

"You nearly died because of someone...and caused others to die because of you. You were not born human, you hated the gods, and you hated humanity."

"You're always wandering, even with a position and status, you can't find a reason to stay. Because you insist you lack 'heart.'"

"...bitter fruit occasionally grows from the roots of attachment. You will not feel happy if you cannot escape your attachment to self."

"Ego-attachment" is also a Buddhist term, which does not mean "attachment to oneself" but rather "attachment to the realization of self".

'Ego' is also the root of human suffering. Only by eliminating 'ego' can one attain Nirvana and realize ultimate truth.

The stragglers always wanted to realize their self-worth, which is why they were always used as tools.

Because he sees himself as a tool, he believes that he only has self-worth when he has value to be used.

Nasida gave a fairly objective account of the life of the soldier, without misinterpreting, glorifying, or smearing him.

After hearing all this, the homeless man realized what kind of person he was.

The homeless man said, "A person makes every choice based on time and place; cause brings effect... sin accumulates into karma."

He realized that he was a person with heavy evil karma in his "past life", but his conversation with Nasita was too Buddhist and philosophical for the audience to understand.

The simple understanding seems to be that the wanderer knows he committed grave sins in his past life, but he is willing to bear the consequences.

It's okay, it's okay if I don't understand this part of the conversation, I do understand the next sentence.

The homeless person said, "In my past life, I didn't seem to be very popular."

I understand, and that's true, but it's not entirely accurate.

Because Dan Yu and the others still liked him very much, it's just a pity that they are all dead... The world he hated the most and the people he loved the most are all dead.

Paimon replied, "Haha...no offense meant, but that's probably how it is for us."

Paimon has undoubtedly become everyone's mouthpiece, and that answer is spot on.

Not to mention everyone else, even the stragglers themselves hate themselves.

At first, I thought I had been betrayed by my family and friends, but it turned out that I hadn't. In fact, I had been working for the people who had framed my family.

The stragglers who understood all this felt only despair and self-loathing, which was also his motivation for deleting himself; he hated himself.

If one could erase oneself while altering the past, that would be the perfect outcome for a skirmisher.

Unfortunately, stragglers are always accompanied by failure, and this time he failed as well. The mess that had been made in the past had not resulted in any real change.

The current situation is even stranger. He, who should have been carrying everything, has disappeared, leaving behind a pure white wanderer.

Paimon's opinion on this was: ["I don't think he's innocent, but I can't really ask him anything... It's such a strange feeling..."]

Yes, that's how everyone feels. It's so strange; we want to hold the stragglers accountable, but we also feel that the homeless are truly innocent.

He had been wandering for five hundred years when someone suddenly told him, "You committed a great sin in your past life. Now come and face it."

This feeling is inexplicable. If someone from Bengtie could see this, Danheng would definitely resonate with it, even if others didn't say it.

Compared to Danheng, the wanderer's situation was actually more complete; he genuinely remembered nothing, while Danheng's memory had been tampered with.

Faced with this sudden situation that forces him to plead guilty, the homeless man's answer is 'yes,' and he is truly prepared to confront it.

Unlike Danheng, who has a place to belong, the doll, who has been wandering for five hundred years, has no sense of identity and no place to belong.

He didn't know who he was, let alone who he should become or what he should do.

Danheng identified himself as Danheng because he had companions in the train crew, but the wanderer had nothing, so he wanted to know more about his 'past life' identity.

The wanderer's resolute choice only made the stragglers grit their teeth in anger.

It wasn't hatred, but rather self-loathing; he felt he was worse than 'himself'.

To regain his memories, he needed Nasita's help and the traveler's company, so the wanderer said to the traveler:

"Whatever is there, I will do my best to face it. But... I'm so sorry to trouble you to accompany me the whole time."

He was very gentle, but this was probably the last bit of gentleness he would ever show. Once he regained his memories, this gentleness would be hidden behind his stubbornness.

Returning to 'The Memories of the Soldier', the scene is Inazuma's house, a dream created by Nasita based on the memories of the soldier.

3D panoramic virtual experience, this is the power of Naxi Da!

[Nasita explains: "Wanderer, this is where the Thunder God settled his 'scattered soldiers,' a place known as the 'Hall of Borrowed Scenery.' You have many memories of this place from your past life."]

Nasita is too kind; she had the traveler supervise the whole trip. If she had any selfish motives, she could have easily gotten rid of the traveler.

This way, no one would know if she did some tricks during the process, and she could completely mold the homeless into whatever shape she wanted.

Perhaps the reason for asking the Traveler to oversee this is to prevent himself from doing something similar. The World Tree is like Pandora's box; it is full of temptations, but one must be careful when trying to study it.

However, most people didn't realize that Nasita was studying the World Tree; instead, they were more impressed by how many tricks Nasita had up her sleeve and how she was always making moves.

Back to the story, a man named Katsuragi appears in the scene. Everyone is quite familiar with him, since he is the one who killed Nagamasa. You've all seen that story.

Nashita explained, "This man's name is Katsuragi, and he's the deputy to Mikoto Nagamasa, Torachiyo's adopted son. He found a stray soldier left at the Kakei-no-kan and brought him back to Futabasa."

Look closely, this man's name is Xiaoshuai, and he is about to do something that will change his life.

Katsuragi entered the "Borrowed View Pavilion" and discovered the "Kakei-zhe," bringing him back to the heart of the Furnace Family in Tatakasa.

This was truly unexpected, especially for some scholars who study Tadalafil.

According to records, people initially thought that the "Kabuki-zhe" was found while wandering outside Tabusa, because many clues recorded it this way.

It's only now that we realize Guimu went to someone's house and took them out? Isn't that the same as finding a bank card in someone else's wallet?

The records are incorrect. It seems that even if no one alters the World Tree, historical records will still be somewhat inaccurate.

Witnesses come to witness, and chroniclers are born to remember.

The value of the traveler, an unbiased recorder, continues to rise, as does the value of Zhongli's words.

As expected of the God of Precious Gold, these words are truly valuable!

Chapter 828 'White Moonlight' Clown

However, now, in addition to travelers, there are also stories written by Lin Qiu, adding another way to record history. Now, various real histories and futures are being revealed, such as this one.

Fortunately, Katsuragi 'kidnapped' a 'Kabuki' who the Kage didn't care about. If it had been the Kage's little daughter who he cared about, he would have killed her without hesitation.

After all, if General Thunder is kidnapped, how can Thunder Movie remain isolated?

However, Katsuragi is not a bad person. From his perspective, "Borrowed View Pavilion" is a godforsaken place where there is no one to accompany you and no food.

Loneliness and hunger are a hopeless situation for a 'human being', which is why he takes the other person out to provide them with companionship and food.

Unfortunately, this good person did not receive a good reward, because the PhD student caused trouble, and the matter of Ta Sha needed to be explained.

Since the person in charge, Niwa, is dead, the person in charge, Mikoto Nagamasa, must take responsibility and atone for his sins with his death.

Nagamasa was not afraid of death, but he could not die like this. He had not yet cleared his family's name of the stain... the mistakes of his mother, Mikoto Chiyo.

At this moment, Katsuragi stepped forward and said, "I can serve you in small matters, and I can die in your place." These eight words alone expressed Katsuragi's loyalty to Nagamasa.

In the end, Katsuragi, who was sent to take the fall, was killed by Nagamasa, thus ending the Tatsuna incident. The sword, named Katsuragi-slaying-Nagamasa sword, was thrown into the furnace by Nagamasa.

I've written about this story before, and what resonates with me most is the film "Lei".

She herself never considered the attack on her by Mikoto Chiyo as a 'mistake', but little did she know that her descendants would continue to struggle over it.

Chiyo's descendants felt this was a great disrespect to the shogun and a mistake.

But for the general herself, it was clearly her fault; she was a step too slow... The result of being a step too slow was that she failed to protect either side.

Despite possessing exceptional martial arts skills, she had no opportunity to use them when needed most, causing Ying to become withdrawn.

Even now, the thought of this still stings Ying's heart.

Thankfully, the warmth from her hand eased the pain in Ying's heart; it was a real hand covering her own.

My sister is back, and now she no longer has to be the one who has to be strong.

Returning to the story, as mentioned earlier, Katsuragi, despite being a good person, did not receive a good reward, a sentiment echoed by the wanderer.

The wanderer said, "He looks like a warrior, but his face is very kind... Why didn't he live out his days happily?"

Yes, why is that, Dottore?

In the anime, Katsuragi brings the "Kabuki-zan" (a type of Kabuki-zan) to Nagamasa. Facing this outsider, Nagamasa shows no resistance, but instead says directly:

"Katsuraki, go and report to Lord Niwa that we have an extra companion."

'Companion'—that's how he addressed 'Kabuki' from the very beginning.

Just like the fairy tales drawn by Nasita, everyone knows that the "Kabuki" is somewhat unusual, but no one is against him.

Everyone here is a good person, so according to the law, someone has to breathe on them.

The process of exhaling was not acted out because it had already been acted out; the characters in the story had seen it, and there was no need to show it to the audience again.

The scene shifts to the period after the sand-walking incident, and the camera returns to the "Borrowed Scenery Hall." This time, a little boy is present, coughing.

"Wow... Is this where you were born? It's so beautiful! But there aren't many people here... cough cough."

The strange one said, "Like you, I was also abandoned. I lived here back then... It's not a good place, we won't move here."

This was after the Tassa incident, and the disheartened Kabuki found a lonely little boy.

The little boy didn't have a name because his father died before he could name him, apparently from a 'nuclear leak' in Taman Sa.

His mother, too, had been coughing constantly and eventually passed away, leaving the little boy alone in the thatched hut. He survived only thanks to the help of his neighbors.

Now the Kakushi has found him, and the two lonely people have formed a new family.

However, the little boy was also coughing incessantly, just like his parents, clearly affected by the 'nuclear leak'.

The child said, "I heard that my mom and dad used to be blacksmiths, forging knives, but then the factory manager passed away, and my dad fell ill... cough cough..."

["Just like me, he was always coughing. Later, Mom started coughing incessantly like him too..."]

The strange one quickly said, "But you can't do this. You must keep your promise to me."

He wanted the children not to cough and die like his parents, because they had promised to stay together forever.
