Chapter 1946 — The Cause of Amnesia, Part Two: Rather, a Strange Ball of True Qi Was Wrapping a Portion of Granny Sun's Brain!

"Ah, sorry, I meant nothing by it..." Uncle Qing, too, realized he had been too hasty, and his old face reddened. He truly had only wanted to help, and had no other ideas...
Granny Sun said nothing, and hurried back to her room to bathe...
"Xiaoyi, thank you so much!" Uncle Qing said in heartfelt gratitude.
"Uncle Qing, we're family — no need for such talk. But... the true qi in Granny Sun's head, I still haven't figured out what's going on with it. Let me go back to my room and make a phone call to ask..." What Wei Zhao meant by going back to his room to ask was actually to ask Jiao Yazi, but he could not casually expose that secret. Surely he could not sit on the sofa for a while without making a single call and then come up with the answer?
"Yes, yes, then go and ask quickly!" Uncle Qing said hurriedly. Then, feeling he had been too impatient, he grew a little embarrassed. "I'm being a bit too anxious..."
"It's nothing. I'll go make the call now." Wei Zhao smiled. He understood how Uncle Qing felt.
Back in his room, Wei Zhao wasted no time and went straight into the jade pendant space, then said to Jiao Yazi, "Elder Jiao, today I came across a strange phenomenon..."
Thereupon Wei Zhao recounted Granny Sun's situation to Jiao Yazi.
"Oh? True qi wrapped around the mind, yet the true qi bears no ill intent? And she has lost her memory?" After hearing Wei Zhao's words, Jiao Yazi murmured a repetition of what Wei Zhao had said, then continued, "I have never encountered this situation of yours, but I can make a rough guess."
"What guess?" Wei Zhao asked at once.
"As you said, before she was injured and lost her memory, she was a cultivator. That being so, that ball of true qi was very likely produced by herself," Jiao Yazi said.
"Produced by herself? What does that mean? So Granny Sun made herself lose her memory?" Wei Zhao asked, rather puzzled.
"You could put it that way," Jiao Yazi said. "It is a kind of instinct in cultivators: under certain specific circumstances, the body's latent potential is roused, and true qi is used to wrap up the memories in the brain."
"Using true qi to wrap memories? Why would anyone do that?" Wei Zhao was even more baffled.
"There are two possibilities. The first is that when she encountered some danger that threatened her life, on the verge of death, there was a memory she could not bear to part with, and that memory was wrapped by the true qi roused from the body's latent potential. This is what is meant by those wondrous rebirths that carry memories with them. In my memory, a friend of mine — a scientific genius — once did research on reincarnation and rebirth. This sort of thing does not necessarily happen only to cultivators; even ordinary people, in the final moments of life, may have their latent potential roused, wrapping precious memories in the true qi thus awakened. Then, after death, this cluster of memories wrapped in true qi exists in the form of free-floating electric waves..."
