Revenge, to the current me, was simply an extravagant hope.
However, unlike before, my heart was no longer in a dead silence. Instead, there was a glimmer of hope, even though this hope came without any reason.
Perhaps it was because Grandpa Li said that I could recover my cultivation. Although I couldn't see any hope of my meridians recovering, I had an inexplicable trust in Grandpa Li. Even my confidence had recovered.
Next, I looked in the direction of the Lu family's residence one last time before suppressing all the thoughts in my heart. I hurried to the long-distance bus station to return home.
On the way, I closed my eyes and silently mobilized my Dao energy. However, I couldn't sense the Dao energy that I used to be able to move freely. In a flash, I seemed to have returned to the state I was in when I first sensed the Dao energy. However, I wasn't impatient and continued to explore.
In the past month, my temperament had already been worn down.
When the bus arrived in Shanxi, I was still sensing the Dao energy when I suddenly heard Tong Tong's voice in my mind.
She seemed to be very happy and said to me in a sweet voice, "Brother, I'm awake!
It's been so long, but you didn't miss me? "
I was slightly stunned. Ever since we joined hands to deal with the Jing Gui, Tong Tong said that she had used up her Heavenly Yin energy and needed to sleep for a period of time. Who would have thought that she would sleep until now?
So, she didn't even know what had happened before?
My furrowed eyebrows relaxed. It was a good thing that Tong Tong didn't know. She was a pure girl. Although she had seen many despicable and malicious things after following me for so many years, those things added up couldn't compare to Lu Zhenyang's evil deeds.
It was a blessing that Tong Tong didn't see it at that time.
However, Tong Tong quickly noticed that something was wrong with me. She hurriedly asked me what happened.
I naturally didn't tell her much. I just said that I was injured by a Heavenly Master, which was why I ended up in this situation.
Tong Tong was very angry after hearing that. She said that she would take revenge for me. However, she quickly became discouraged and said in a sweet voice, "My Heavenly Yin energy has only recovered a little. If I want to cultivate to the level where I can defeat a Heavenly Master, I'm afraid that it will take another four to five years."
Her words shocked me. Cultivating to the level of a Heavenly Master would only take four to five years?
If this were to spread, the people in the Metaphysics Association would be scared to death. Let alone four to five years, they wouldn't even have the confidence to do it in forty to fifty years.
But Tong Tong was still not satisfied.
I helplessly told Tong Tong that if she could really reach the Heavenly Master's realm in four to five years, her speed would be frightening. She didn't need to be discouraged.
However, Tong Tong immediately replied, "But it's not enough. I can see your meridians. Big Brother, it seems that you won't be able to cultivate in the future … The person who injured you is really hateful. But Big Brother, don't worry. Tong Tong will definitely speed up her cultivation in the future to protect Big Brother."
I didn't know if it was because I had been too pretentious recently, but when I heard Tong Tong's words, I felt a lump in my throat.
When I woke up on Ye Pianpian's bed, my only thought was to die.
At that time, I felt that I had no one left in this world. I didn't have any family, and I didn't have any kinship. Living was no different from dying.
But now, I didn't think that way. Whether it was Tong Tong, Grandpa Li who left me the note and didn't care about the True Dragon's vein, or even Ye Pianpian, they were all people who cared about me. They all made me feel warm.
I sniffled and said to Tong Tong with a smile, "Don't worry. Actually, Big Brother can still cultivate. A grandpa told me that as long as I use the True Dragon's vein to nourish it for a few days, my meridians will recover to their original state."
Speaking of this, I suddenly remembered the True Dragon's saliva that Grandpa Li had mentioned. I had thought about it carefully on the way here. When I was in the cave of the True Dragon's vein, I had seen a small drop of milky white liquid floating below the mouth of the True Dragon's vein. Although I was amazed at that time, I didn't pay much attention to the drop of liquid because of the mystical nature of the True Dragon's vein. Even when I took the True Dragon's vein, I didn't pay much attention to the drop of liquid.
Later on, the True Dragon's vein stayed in the jade bracelet. Although I could absorb the dragon energy from it, I couldn't take the True Dragon's vein out. As for whether the drop of liquid entered the jade bracelet with the True Dragon's vein, I was even more confused.
Fortunately, Tong Tong stayed in the jade bracelet. She should know the answer.
I hurried to describe the drop of liquid to Tong Tong. "Have you seen it before?"
I thought that she would have to think for a while, but she nodded immediately. "Yes, I have."
I was excited. According to Ye Pianpian, after taking the True Dragon's saliva, my meridians would recover to their original state immediately!
With that thought, I asked Tong Tong, "Can you take that drop of liquid out of my body?" Tong Tong sounded aggrieved. "That drop of liquid has a lot of Yang energy. Even her Heavenly Yin energy will be corroded when it gets close to that drop of liquid. Usually, when she stays in the jade bracelet, she has to avoid that drop of liquid. Now, I can't take it out."
I had heard about Heavenly Yin energy from Tong Tong. It was the unique Yin energy of her Heavenly Ghost Infant. In terms of power and quality, it was much stronger than ordinary Yin energy. It was also the power of a Heavenly Ghost Infant. However, I didn't expect that even Tong Tong's Heavenly Yin energy couldn't get close to that drop of liquid. What should I do?
With that thought, I couldn't help but feel upset. Tong Tong could feel my mood. She apologized to me as if she had done something bad. I felt sorry for her and tried to comfort her for a long time.
However, Tong Tong was still a little disappointed. She didn't want to talk to me anymore. "I want to go back and cultivate." Then, she didn't say anything.
At this moment, the car arrived at our county. I got out of the highway and took a taxi to the crematorium in our county. According to Ye Pianpian, my parents had been sent to the crematorium. Although many days had passed, if no one had claimed their ashes, they would still be there.
When I arrived at the crematorium, I asked the security guard at the entrance. He confirmed that the crematorium would take care of the crematorium if no one claimed their ashes. Then, I hurried to the crematorium. Under the security guard's guidance, I found Director Liu, who was in charge of this crematorium.
Director Liu was a fat middle-aged man. From his appearance, I could tell that he was a rich man. I had always heard that the crematorium was a good place. Even the cleaners could get a bonus of more than one hundred thousand renminbi at the end of the year. Looking at Director Liu's appearance, it seemed the rumors were true.
When he saw me, Director Liu smiled and asked me to sit down. Then, he said in an evasive tone, "The crematorium receives a lot of unclaimed remains every day. It's not easy to find them. Moreover, these are from a few months ago. It will take a long time just to look through the files."
Then, he said something like "We don't have enough manpower." I understood immediately. He wanted money.
I didn't have time to talk to him. "I don't care how much money you have to pay as long as you can help me find the remains."
As soon as Director Liu heard me, the fat wrinkles on his face lit up. He gestured at me and said, "It's fifty thousand renminbi. I can find it in one afternoon."
The crematorium was indeed a good place to make money. However, I didn't have time to argue with him. I swiped my bank card and gave him fifty thousand renminbi.
Although I had given most of the money to Chen Xuande, I still had several hundred thousand renminbi with me. When Mr. Li brought my things here, I also had my bank card with me. I didn't lack money.
After receiving the money, Director Liu immediately went to do his job.
His efficiency wasn't just for show. He didn't even need to wait for an entire afternoon. I had only waited for around one hour when he returned with two jars.
Seeing the two ordinary jars in his hands, I couldn't help but feel a sharp pain in my heart.
Perhaps it was because Director Liu saw that my face didn't look good, so he said that he had something to do and left with a smile. He left the crematorium to me.
At first, I thought that I would be very sad, but after this interruption, I didn't feel that bad anymore. After all, it had been two months since the incident, so I didn't feel that bad anymore.
No wonder people said that time was the best medicine to heal wounds. Now, it seemed that it was true.
I walked forward and hugged the two jars. I mumbled, "Dad, Mom, Sanwa is so sorry. I'm going to take you home now.
Sanwa will take revenge for you. However, you don't need to worry. When Sanwa takes revenge, he will protect himself and live well. "
Then, I wiped my tears and prepared to leave.
However, when I reached the door, I suddenly thought of something. Ashes weren't corpses, so why did Director Liu bring them to me so quickly? Could he have made a mistake?
With that thought, I hurried to put the two jars down.
It was easy to check if these were my parents' ashes. I just needed to use the Ancestral Seeking Talisman that I had used on Lai Zhou's ancestral grave.
However, my Dao energy was gone now, and I couldn't make any talismans. What should I do?
After thinking for a while, I called Tong Tong. She looked tired, but I didn't notice it. I just told her what the Ancestral Seeking Talisman looked like. Then, I asked her to use her Yin energy to help me simulate an Ancestral Seeking Talisman.
The Ancestral Seeking Talisman was a kind of Yin Seeking Talisman. Using Yin energy to simulate it would have a similar effect. Soon, Tong Tong was ready. Then, I patted the Ancestral Seeking Talisman on my body. A wisp of gray smoke flew out of my body and flew to an unknown place.
