Volume 4 Peach Blossom Chapter 42: Exquisite Gray
In the one hundred and forty-second year of the Spirit Snake, midsummer, number five.
These two days, Master’s voice and appearance have been constantly echoing in my mind.
There is also my dead father, and the little girl who called out to me before she died, "Mom, I'm in pain...", and...
I seemed to be in a trance.
But, I... seem to have the answer.
Monster, Yunmeng is a monster.
Over the years, monsters have killed countless members of the tribe.
Before my master passed away, I promised him that I would lead our people out of the Three Thousand Mountains.
Now, am I going to give up the ambition that my master and I have been pursuing for hundreds of years just for the sake of my relationship with a demon beast?
For the life of a monster, should my people continue to endure this kind of suffering in the Three Thousand Mountains?
In the one hundred and forty-second year of the Spirit Snake, midsummer, the seventh day.
It is unrealistic to ask Yunmeng to voluntarily sacrifice her life to help me break through the realm of refining emptiness. I must find another way.
Since Yunmeng has mastered the power of vitality, her essence and blood must contain infinite vitality.
Just extract her blood and take it, and it will work.
In the one hundred and forty-second year of the Spirit Snake, in late summer, the seventh day is approaching.
Today I returned to Yunmeng Mountain and went to see Yunmeng.
I haven't seen you for a long time, and Yunmeng has actually advanced from a fourth-grade monster to a fifth-grade monster.
Damn it, why did it have to be at this time!
This matter requires long-term consideration. If we fail, Yunmeng's trust in me will collapse.
The Three Thousand Mountains are so vast, how can I find her then?
…
In the one hundred and forty-second year of the Spirit Snake, the third day of the winter month.
Yunmeng disappeared!
I went back to Yunmeng Mountain today, but Yunmeng has not shown up yet. This has never happened before. Has my plan been discovered?
In the 143rd year of the Spirit Snake, the spring begins and the third month comes.
After waiting for several months in Yunmeng Mountain, Yunmeng still did not show up, and she really disappeared.
Maybe this is fate...
In the one hundred and forty-third year of the Spirit Snake, in late spring, the number six is approaching.
Yunmeng is back!
Holding on to the last glimmer of hope, I returned to Yunmeng Mountain, and this time I finally saw Yunmeng.
What's more, Yunmeng is actually pregnant!
The opportunity has come. When she gives birth, she will inevitably fall into unprecedented weakness.
That was my chance to take action.
I stayed in Yunmeng Mountain under the pretext of taking care of Yunmeng, waiting for the day she gave birth.
In the one hundred and forty-fourth year of the Spirit Snake, mid-autumn, the sixth day of the lunar calendar.
I failed. I only considered that Yunmeng would be weak during childbirth, but I forgot the power of motherhood.
Yunmeng, who was extremely weak, actually struggled hard and escaped from my hands.
The moment I attacked her, Yunmeng's look was very complicated.
She shed tears.
However, I, who had been extremely hesitant before, did not feel the slightest ripple in my heart when I saw this scene.
Everything is for the tribe members and...Master.
Although I failed, I discovered a huge secret.
I followed Yunmeng's escape trail all the way to a mountain that no one had ever set foot on.
There, I actually discovered a fifth-grade plant demon whose true form was a peach tree.
I concealed my breath, dared not get close, and observed secretly.
However, he discovered that the peach tree was trying its best to heal Yunmeng, and in the heart of the tree, there was a piece of spiritual jade shining, emitting the mystery of the great way, with runes churning and divine clouds shining.
I have seen that piece of jade and that scene in ancient books!
That is the original spiritual embryo, also known as the Hedao Jade!
If I had this jade, I would have the opportunity to advance to the realm of refining emptiness even if I didn't practice the Evil Poison Sutra.
The peach tree demon was ultimately unable to save Yunmeng. Yunmeng desperately gave birth to two little deer demons and entrusted them to the peach tree demon.
I was afraid of being discovered, so I quietly retreated before the peach tree demon's attention was diverted from Yunmeng.
The Hedao Jade possessed by this peach tree demon is my chance to break through to the realm of refining emptiness.
But he is a fifth-grade demon, so he needs to plan carefully how to proceed.
In the 147th year of the Spirit Snake, the spring begins and the number six begins.
Yunmeng's child actually left Qingqiu.
Her children look exactly like her, both are so magical and beautiful.
The little deer actually ran to the White Flower Snake Village under my spirit snake subordinates and saved many villagers who were poisoned, just like Yunmeng saved me that year. In the end, it was caught by the black-tailed wizard.
It is much dumber than Yunmeng.
But, this seems like an opportunity?
I quietly hid the golden snake in the deer demon's head.
Wait for things to develop.
In the one hundred and forty-seventh year of the Spirit Snake, in mid-autumn, the third day is recited.
The giant grass monster did not leave the mountain in the end, but a cultivator who came from nowhere rescued Yunmeng's child.
In order to let him bring the deer demon lurking with the golden snake back to the peach tree demon, I did not stop him. I watched him kill the black-tailed wizard and many villagers and then leave.
I think he is ridiculous.
But it’s normal. When we were young, most people were like this, full of energy and ambition, hoping to slay dragons with swords.
But in the end, the boy who slays the dragon will eventually become a dragon.
After so many years of lurking and forbearance, it is time for the dust to settle, whether it is success or failure.
…
…
This is all the content of the jade slip.
In just a moment, Lu Qingshan had seen the life of Grandma Golden Snake.
From a naive and romantic little girl to the golden snake grandmother who is in charge of the five departments.
Her life experience can be said to be full of ups and downs, magnificent events, and her merits and demerits are difficult to distinguish.
"Lu Qingshan, is Grandma Golden Snake a good person or a bad person?" The King of Western Rat couldn't figure it out and hoped that Lu Qingshan could give him an answer.
The Golden Snake Granny first forced Yaoyao and Mimi's mother to death, and then caused the Qingqiu Mountain Lord's soul to be dispersed. In its eyes, she must be a big bad person, and it wished to skin her alive.
But after reading the jade slip, it became hesitant and confused again.
Hearing this question from the King of Western Rat, Lu Qingshan was silent for a moment.
That’s right, from their point of view, Grandma Golden Snake must be an unforgivable villain.
But if you look at it from the perspective of the mortals in the Five Alliance, Grandma Golden Snake was willing to sacrifice her life and endure the pain of poison in order to lead them out of the Three Thousand Mountains and settle down in the outside world. She was even willing to sacrifice her hundred-year relationship with Yun Meng and disregard it.
Isn’t Grandma Golden Snake also their hero?
"Human nature is often difficult to distinguish simply as good or bad, so judging the good or evil of Grandma Golden Snake is something that doesn't make much sense." Lu Qingshan gave his answer.
“The world is never black, nor is it white, but a delicate gray.”
"I only admit one thing." Lu Qingshan looked at the golden giant snake in the corner that was about to slip away quietly, and said coldly: "Whoever wants to hurt the people I care about, I will kill him with my sword!"
whoosh!
The Dragon Sparrow Sword flickered with a blazing red tail and flew towards the snake demon like lightning!
