Four

Therefore, Shariputra, in emptiness there is no form, no feelings, no perceptions, no mental formations, and no conscioussness. There is no eye, no ear, no nose, no tongue, no body, and no mind. There is no form, no sound, no smell, no taste, no texture, and no mental objects. There is no eye-element and so on up to no mind-element including up to no element of mental consciousness.

There is no ignorance, there is no extinction of ignorance and so on up to no aging and death and no extinction of aging and death. Likewise there is no suffering, origin, cessation, or path; there is no wisdom, no attainment, and even no non-attainment.
