I'm wandering in the world

Chapter 223 Memories of the Divine Snake

The essence inside and outside of Chen Qingyuan's body was like a raging river washing through every meridian, and white smoke was billowing from his eyes, ears, mouth, and nose. At first glance, it looked like a human-shaped incense burner.

His body made crackling sounds, as if the ice in the severe winter was rapidly melting.

Followed by a crisp sound in the spine.

Chen Qingyuan just felt relaxed.

Essence is transformed into Qi, which not only retains the wonderful use of essence, but can also be used as pure Qi. Even if you ignore it, the essence will flow along the meridians of the whole body to circulate around the body...

He officially completed the realm of refining essence into qi and entered the realm of refining qi into spirit.

Qi and Jing Yuan are compatible with each other and can be converted into each other.

The five senses became extremely sensitive, and Chen Qingyuan could even see the outline of the surrounding spiritual energy flowing, a bit like the rising high-temperature airflow when burning a fire...

The Crowned Water Divine Snake hissed and laughed, saying, "It seems that you have made a breakthrough. Congratulations."

It looked at the empty hall and said with emotion: "When I mistakenly entered this place, I could still vaguely hear voices. It was very magical. Under the guidance of these voices, I can have my current cultivation and realm. You have a strong aura of Lushan inheritance, and you are a person with a better opportunity than me. You must cherish it and don't waste yourself and this opportunity..."

Chen Qingyuan nodded.

He considers himself a man who is willing to listen to advice, as long as it makes sense.

At this time, Chen Qingyuan came back to his senses and asked hurriedly: "Divine Snake, you said that when you accidentally entered Lushan, you could still hear people talking in this hall. Can you tell me what happened back then?"

Since the world of "Transformation", he has been exposed to the miracles of Chen Jinggu, the Holy Mother of Shuntian in Lushan, and has received help many times, but he could only see vague divine power and could not see her true appearance at all.

He needs more information...

Hearing this, the Crowned Water God Snake fell into reminiscence, feeling somewhat lost, and said, "There's nothing I can't tell you, but there are many things I can't remember clearly, so I'll just pick out the key points and talk about them."

Chen Qingyuan sat upright, listening attentively: "Okay."

The crowned water snake felt the "expectation of the audience" and nodded and began to narrate: "My original form is a striped snake, also known as the Fujian coral snake. I hatched from a shell in a dense forest in Pingtan, Fuzhou 670 years ago. At that time, I did not have a cockscomb and my whole body was not gray-black, but brown-red with rings of gold.

I'm just an ordinary venomous snake, relying on instinct to survive.

It seemed to be the Yuan Dynasty at that time. In short, it was very chaotic, with disputes everywhere. Many people went into the mountains to avoid the war! The originally quiet forests became noisy. They looked for food and drink in the mountains, and found birds and beasts, wild fruits and vegetables, which made the chickens and dogs restless...

Once I was frightened and caught by a snake catcher. A Taoist priest passed by and bought me but did not kill me. He just put me in his bag.

The Taoist priest does his homework morning and night and is a very diligent person.

One day, the Taoist priest stopped doing his practice and found a fragrant pill in the room. When he went out, I crawled out of the bag and swallowed the pill.

The Taoist priest came back horrified, and after calculating, he sighed and simply threw me into a river.

I drifted along with the river, and as time went by, I was like a dead snake, and I came to a big lake. I then settled down there, and according to my instinct, I devoured the essence of sunlight and moonlight every day. My body changed more and more, and in twenty years, I turned from brown to gray-black, and my body length was more than ten meters.

I don’t know when I was practicing, but I was discovered by a nearby villager.

They called me a monster, and shouted for my death. They tried to kill me with hoes and sickles, but I was defeated with just a sweep of their tails.

The villagers left.

Later, groups of people came shouting slogans of slaying demons and eliminating evil.

There were Taoist priests, monks and even shamans. I didn't take them seriously at first, until I met a fierce man. He had a red cloth wrapped around his head and was dressed like an executioner. Every move he made was a killer move! Before I could react, I was beaten to pieces and floated on the lake. I thought I would die... When the executioner was about to take my snake gall, he took out a mirror and looked at it. His expression became ugly. He took out a pill and threw it into my mouth. He said "sorry", pointed to the direction where the lake water flows out and said that if I went down there and went south, there might be good luck.

There is no executioner to suppress.

After I swallowed the pill, my body gradually got better and I immediately dived into the lake and left the place from the bottom of the water.

The water route was difficult, and I walked for more than ten years, even going to the wrong place. Finally, I arrived at Minhu Lake. I vaguely felt that this was the place I was destined to come to, so I stayed...

Min Lake is very large, spanning almost the entire Fujian area.

I hung around for a few more years, and one day I accidentally found something similar to an altar at the bottom of the lake, so I coiled myself up on it. Unexpectedly, I accidentally opened the door to Lushan.

The first time I entered Lushan.

Although there are mountains and rivers like outside, my subconscious tells me that here... is very different.

The gate of Lushan Palace opened a crack automatically. I went in through the crack and found a magnificent hall inside. There were many invisible people talking...

One of them said: "Hmm? This little snake has a connection with Lushan, let's say a few words to give it a chance..."

Everyone agreed.

Then I heard all kinds of voices drilling into my mind. They were only one or two sentences, but they contained a huge amount of information. Some taught me how to read, some taught me how to distinguish between good and evil, and some taught me how to practice. There were so many things that I forgot as I learned, and in the end I didn’t know how much I remembered…

But there is one sentence I remember very clearly.

Someone said to me: "Little Snake, if there is a descendant of Lushan coming to the lake in the future, bring him here if you feel he is good enough."

These sounds disappeared from then on, and the entire Lushan Mountain seemed empty.

I stopped when I reached more than 20 meters after practicing. Later, when I was tired, I sometimes slept at the bottom of Min Lake and sometimes came to Lushan to sleep.

Things change rapidly.

I forgot a lot of things.

But what that person said to me remains clearly in my mind. I don’t understand what the term “almost the same” means.

There is a Sannai Temple beside the Min Lake, and people from the temple have fallen into the water. I don’t know why, but I instinctively feel that they are not considered to be ‘almost’ people…

Hundreds of years passed quickly.

Dynasties changed on the shore, and so many things happened that I thought the person I was waiting for would never come.

Until you appeared, I felt 'different', but still far from 'similar'.

The first time you appeared I was surprised. A few years later you appeared for the second time with a different spirit. The third time you appeared you were full of the aura of Lushan Kungfu. I saw the light in your eyes and finally confirmed that you were the successor that I wanted to bring into Lushan..."

The Crowned Water Snake simply passed over the hundreds of years it had spent in Min Lake in one simple sentence.

Only the slight tremor in his voice revealed that this was not a smooth journey.

It looked towards the empty hall and hissed, "The disciples of Lushan have arrived. This little snake will never forget their kindness in teaching us. At last, I can make a contribution to Lushan..."
