The Great Tang Dynasty: The Celestial Master Descends the Mountain, Starts by Being Deceived into Ma

Chapter 37 Feeling Good

As the rat demon was annihilated by lightning, the tree branch in Lu Jinghe's hand also turned to ashes.

Everyone present gaped in astonishment. They knew Lu Jinghe was outrageously strong, but no one knew he was this strong.

Is there anyone in this world who can be Lu Jinghe's enemy?

If a bolt of lightning strikes, whether you're heavily armored or a cavalryman, you'll be injured if you just graz it, and die if you get hit.

If it were equipped with an imperial sword, its power would probably be even greater than it is now, considering it was just a casually broken branch—

Even the ground was scorched.

"This—" Lu Jinghe slowly floated down from the sky, glanced at Zhao Qing who was sitting on the ground dumbfounded, and said, "A-Lu, he's yours."

"Thank you, young master!"

When Zhao Qing saw the supposedly dead widow Liu walking towards him with a small knife, he was terrified.

That damned rat really didn't kill Widow Liu!

Zhao Qing quickly begged for mercy: "Sister Liu, you've watched me grow up!"

Do you remember? I even attended your wedding banquet.

"I'm the younger brother you watched grow up, sister, you can't kill me!"

A-Lu did not answer Zhao Qing, but her eyes were filled with tears as she tightly gripped the short knife in her hand, her veins bulging.

"Sister Liu—Sister Liu—please don't kill me, really—please, really—"

Zhao Qing grasped at this last straw, but didn't he know what he had done?

He was very clear about it.

Ah-Lu didn't know what had happened, but the rat demon wouldn't strip people naked and leave them covered in bruises just because it was sucking their blood!

That bastard!

How dare you beg for mercy?

"Pfft." Green burst out laughing. She didn't know why she was laughing, but she just couldn't stop herself from laughing.

Ah Lü laughed for a while, her lips curving upwards, and said, "You called me Sister Liu?"

"You still remember she's your older sister, the one who raised you!"

Ah Lü walked gracefully towards Zhao Qing, then mercilessly plunged the short knife in her hand into his body, saying, "Do you remember? You probably don't."

"That day, you handed Sister Liu over to that rat demon. She wasn't even wearing a single piece of clothing. What did you do?"

"Pfft!"

"Sister Liu trusted you so much—and not only did you treat her like that, you even gave her to a blood-sucking monster!"

"Pfft!"

"You—you're not—you're not Widow Liu?"

After being stabbed several times, Zhao Qing suddenly realized: how could Widow Liu be alive?

Perhaps because he was splashed with hot water when he peeked at the neighbor taking a shower as a child, he's not very good at that.

The reason I've been so unrestrained lately, even to the point of exhaustion, is because I drank the blood of that rat demon, which has an aphrodisiac and berserk effect.

So many times, no one has survived being under him.

There was no way that Widow Liu could have survived.

For this reason, after Widow Liu fainted, he didn't care whether she was alive or not, and simply left her there to be sucked blood by the rat demon.

"Of course not! Sister Liu is dead!"

"I will use Sister Liu's body to avenge her!"

"I'm going to kill you, you scum!"

"Pfft!"

"Pfft!"

Zhao Qing is dead.

Ah Lü stabbed him about forty times.

"Young Master—"

Ah-Lu dropped the dagger and shakily returned to the group's side.

She was overjoyed; she had finally avenged her sister Liu.

"What's wrong?" Lu Jinghe could tell that A-Lu had something to do, and said, "Didn't you promise to be with me? Just say what's on your mind."

"I want to change Sister Liu's clothes before burying her. These are dirty—" As she spoke, A-Lu pointed to her clothes, which were soaked with blood.

"Is that alright, young master?"

"Okay, let's go."

Lu Jinghe led the way toward Lantian County.

Gao Yang handed the little girl to Lu Jinghe, then ran to A-Lu's side and said, "What do you mean by burying Sister Liu? Your clothes are dirty now!"

Gao Yang's head was spinning; she couldn't understand what she was hearing.

Sister Liu is Ah Lü, and she wants to bury herself?

"this----"

"Chu Mo, you're quick. Go to Lantian first and see if there's anything unusual."

Lu Jinghe overheard Gao Yang and A Lü's whispers and spoke to Cheng Chumo.

Cheng Chumo was stunned. If he hadn't been able to see that Cheng Chumo was still able to move, he probably would have thought Cheng Chumo was dead.

They looked like they'd been gone for a while.

"Ah, oh."

Cheng Chumo took off running, while Lu Jinghe, a teacher who could talk and was half a person's age, could fly and control heavenly lightning.

His worldview collapsed.

"Young Master—"

Seeing Lu Jinghe send Cheng Chumo away, A-Lu muttered cautiously.

"A-Lu is not human."

Lu Jinghe pointed it out directly. He believed Gao Yang could accept it, but as for Xiao Sizi?

The little kid is still sucking his fingers, thinking about what just happened.

She wasn't interested in these things, and besides, it wouldn't be a big deal if she knew about them.

She's my own sister.

"Huh?" Gao Yang was stunned for a moment, looked Ah Lü up and down, and asked, "This looks like a person no matter how you look at it."

"Madam—I am a demon."

Ah Lü revealed her identity; since the young master had already said so, there was no need for her to hide it anymore.

"This body belongs to Sister Liu. After Sister Liu died, I possessed her body, intending to help her take revenge."

Gao Yang nodded, having sorted things out, and then asked, "So, Ah Lu, what will you do after you bury your Sister Liu's body?"

"I've already promised to follow you, young master."

Ah Lü was also a bit troubled. It was quite a hassle for her, a snake, to follow Lu Jinghe around all day. If only she could transform into a human.

Unfortunately, demons that have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth to awaken their spirit cannot transform into human form; no living being can transform into human form.

Her ability to manipulate the corpses of the dead is a gift she possesses.

Ordinary spirit-awakened demons simply do not possess this ability.

"Brother, what does the big sister look like?"

Little Sizi, perched on Lu Jinghe's shoulder, looked at A-Lu and asked.

"A-Lu's original form is a small snake. Si Zi will be able to see it in a while," Lu Jinghe said with a smile, lifting Si Zi's hair that was swaying in the wind.

Soon, the group of four returned to Lantian County.

This time, Lu Jinghe no longer felt that desolate feeling; the influence of the demon and Zhao Qing on Lantian had disappeared.

-

Lu Jinghe inexplicably felt relaxed and refreshed, a feeling he had never experienced before.

He called himself a Taoist master, but he did nothing.

This time, he vanquished the demons that were harming humanity. Perhaps because he had fulfilled his duty as a Celestial Master, Lu Jinghe was very happy.

What is a Celestial Master? Is it someone who protects the people of the world and eliminates evil while promoting good?

Or should we slay the monsters and restore peace and order to the world?

He didn't understand, and he didn't want to understand; he only knew that this would make him feel better.

Do whatever you feel comfortable with.

Lu Jinghe's consistent code of conduct.
