Chapter 32 Why are you so dazed?
"You are a human being with cultivation!"
The little snake was coiled on the ground, flicking its tongue and speaking in human language.
"Nonsense, are you saying only animals are allowed to cultivate?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, cultivation has been impossible in this world for many years. Only mountain spirits and monsters can obtain some of the essence of heaven and earth to cultivate and awaken their spiritual power."
The little green snake felt its worldview collapsing. How could humans cultivate?
They were already very strong, occupying such a vast territory that it would be close to standing at the top of the world. How could they still cultivate?
"Did you obtain the essence of heaven and earth?" The little green snake crawled to Lu Jinghe's side and asked curiously.
"What is the essence of heaven and earth?" Lu Jinghe asked. He didn't know what it was. After transmigrating, he was able to sense "spiritual energy." Could this be the essence of heaven and earth that the little green snake was talking about?
"I don't know. I had this concept in my mind after I was awakened, but I've never seen it in all these years." The little green snake shook her head, she didn't quite understand.
"Aren't you afraid of me?" Lu Jinghe reached out, and the little green snake obediently climbed up his arm and onto his shoulder.
"You're a good person. At first, I thought you had some malicious intentions towards Sister Liu, which is why you poisoned her—I'm sorry."
Wow, this little green snake can even apologize, that's interesting.
Lu Jinghe found it quite interesting, never expecting that such creatures existed in this world.
"What do you mean by saying 'it's been impossible to cultivate for many years'?"
The little green snake flicked its tongue and thought for a while before saying, "I'm not quite sure either. All animals that accidentally ingest the essence of heaven and earth and awaken their spirits will inherit some memories from ancient times."
"Explain in detail." Lu Jinghe tapped his fingers lightly on the table. Could it be that there really were people cultivating immortality in ancient times, but they just can't cultivate now?
"I'm not entirely sure either. Back then, when the Yellow Emperor's tribe and the Chi You tribe fought a great battle, the Heavenly Ladder was broken, and humans could no longer cultivate."
"In the fragments of memory I received, that period was filled with fierce fighting. The last dragon turned to ashes, the last phoenix fell into the wilderness, and the last qilin was divided and devoured —"
"After the war, there were no more living beings to cultivate. Only mountain spirits could accidentally consume the essence of heaven and earth to awaken their spirits, and then absorb the cold of the moon and the warmth of the sun to slowly increase their cultivation."
Lu Jinghe leaned against the table without speaking, instead falling into deep thought.
His ability to cultivate is genuine, and the little green snake's ability to speak human language and control human corpses is also undeniable.
So it seems what she said is probably true—but the information is too fragmented, so it's not very useful.
"Forget it, we'll deal with whatever comes our way." Lu Jinghe laughed heartily. Anyway, there was no use in getting anxious when we didn't have all the information.
"Are you sure only mountain spirits and monsters can accidentally consume the essence of heaven and earth? Humans can't?"
He felt that Li Chunfeng had eaten it, but he himself did not know it.
It also did not inherit the ancient memory fragments that the little green snake mentioned.
"Yes, it is recorded in the ancient memories I obtained. Humans cannot obtain fragments of memories from ancient times."
Lu Jinghe said, "Why are you standing there like that?"
"what?"
"Whether you can obtain memory fragments and whether you can absorb the essence of heaven and earth are two different things."
"If one accidentally consumes the essence of heaven and earth, one can obtain fragments of ancient memories. Since humans cannot obtain these, then it means that one cannot accidentally consume the essence of heaven and earth."
""
"You really are a bit slow," Lu Jinghe flicked the little green snake's head with a finger, and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore, it's not important."
Lu Jinghe was now 80% certain that Li Chunfeng had mistakenly ingested the essence of heaven and earth, but he just didn't know it.
Furthermore, he was unaware of his own special abilities, only achieving some success in divination.
"Now that you've been awakened, do you have a name?"
"Sister Liu calls me A-Lu."
"You'll come with me from now on," Lu Jinghe said after thinking for a moment.
It would be nice to keep this little snake. It's a rather silly little snake, and keeping it as a pet would add some fun to life.
"Okay, okay!" A-Lu said happily. In her opinion, Lu Jinghe was an extremely powerful person, even more powerful than the emperors of the human dynasties.
The emperor possessed an aura of royalty, which prevented her from getting close, but that was all.
The emperor couldn't discover her special abilities, let alone expel her from someone else's body.
As soon as she finished speaking, Ah-Lu suddenly seemed a little disappointed. Her mouth opened and closed, her tongue darting out, clearly indicating that she had something to say.
"What's wrong?" Lu Jinghe placed A-Lu in his hands and patted her little green head.
"Can I wait a while before I go with you?" A-Lu asked cautiously.
"What's wrong?"
"I want to avenge Sister Liu."
A fierce glint suddenly appeared in Ah Lu's innocent eyes.
"How did your sister Liu die?" Lu Jinghe asked. He came here to find out the answer to this question. This widow Liu was obviously not killed by A-Lu. Her aura was very clear, without any karmic burden from killing someone.
"I don't know either—" Ah-Lu said listlessly and pitifully, "I was going to look for Sister Liu on the road, just like before, when she went to visit her deceased husband and children—"
"And then you saw her body?"
"Hmm." Ah Lü nodded and said, "Sister Liu was in a terrible state. She wasn't wearing anything, and she was covered in bruises. Plus, all her blood had been drained."
As she spoke, Ah Lu burst into tears. Although snakes are cold-blooded animals, her spirit had been awakened, which made things different.
She is emotional, and seems to be very emotional.
"I wanted to avenge Sister Liu, so I possessed Sister Liu's body."
Ah-Lu explained that she knew Sister Liu had been killed by someone else. Since that was the case, she could only possess Sister Liu's body and return to her home, where the murderer would come looking for her sooner or later.
That way she can get revenge; Ah Lu is incredibly clever!
Lu Jinghe said, "How will you take revenge? With your poisoned wine?"
"Oh no, I know you're not the murderer. I just thought you were trying to do something to Sister Liu, that's why I poisoned her—and that little bit of poison wouldn't kill her—"
Lu Jinghe smiled and said, "Bury your Sister Liu. I think I know who the murderer is."
That businessman named Lao Zhao —
It's probably him, but as for the remaining 20%, Lu Jinghe suspects he's not the only one.
"Then let's go bury Sister Liu tomorrow. According to Sister Liu's custom, she goes back to pay respects to her husband and children less than half a month later."
Tomorrow will mark exactly two weeks.
"Okay, then come with me. I'll possess your Sister Liu's body first."
Lu Jinghe stood up and said, "From now on, you can just call me Young Master."
"Yes, young master!"
Ah Lü jumped down with a smile and slipped Lu Jinghe's hand inside Widow Liu's body.
Soon, the shriveled corpse transformed into a plump, fair-skinned figure.
