Hairy Monkey's expression was solemn as he said, "Luo Kai, teacher told me to tell you about the history of the Blood Sect. Humans have been around for more than three million years, but today's human civilization has only been around for a few thousand years. Do you know what happened in the past three hundred years?"
Luo Kai retracted his consciousness. His expression changed as he said, "You mean the existence of prehistoric civilizations."
Hairy Monkey nodded and said, "That's right. In the past three million years, several civilizations were born. Every civilization flourished for a period of time, but in the end, they declined and fell into a state of destruction. Apart from their own reasons, another reason was that they triggered a great calamity. This calamity is also called the Cataclysm. It is an inevitable result of nature's efforts to maintain the balance. The technological civilization before the Cataclysm is now considered a prehistoric civilization. As time passes, the things of the previous civilization will gradually be forgotten. Our current civilization can be considered a biological civilization."
Hairy Monkey stood up and walked in front of the statue. He continued, "Our Holy Blood Church can be traced back to the third civilization period. Some wise men had researched the method of using blood power. With the arrival of the catastrophe of the world, this civilization was destroyed. However, one of the wise men condensed the blood power essence into twelve drops and avoided the catastrophe of the world. It was passed down to the future generations. The founder of the Holy Blood Church was the successor of one of the drops of blood power essence, which is the original model of this statue. We call him the Blood Ancestor. It is said that he had developed blood power to the extreme."
Luo Kai realized something. He did not want to become a three-headed and six-armed monster. He said nervously, "You mean that the cocoon I ate just now was a drop of blood energy essence?"
"That's right. The inheritance of our Blood Sect is this drop of blood energy essence!
In fact, there is no such thing as a brain worm pill. Teacher also never gave this lady any medicine. "
Luo Kai gritted his teeth as he looked at Li Gui's corpse. This old man was as cunning as a fox. He carefully sensed his body and did not find anything wrong.
Lu Qing also walked over nervously and asked, "Luo Kai, what happened?"
Luo Kai gently patted her small hand and said, "It's nothing. I was just tricked by an annoying old man."
Hairy Monkey carried Li Gui's corpse and slowly walked towards the entrance. After taking a few steps, he suddenly turned around and said, "Teacher has never wanted to kill you. What happened last time was a complete accident. The commander of the Dragon Shark Camp, Gao Zan, tricked Teacher into going back and secretly imprisoned him to force out the secret of the Saint. Teacher managed to escape with great difficulty, but his body was exhausted. He originally wanted to pass the blood power essence to me, but after meeting you again in Changyuan, he changed his mind. I don't know if this is good or bad for you, but please don't hate him anymore."
After saying that, he took out a small book and tossed it over. "This is my teacher's research notes on blood power. I hope it will be of some help to you."
Luo Kai reached out to take it, but did not immediately flip through it. Instead, he asked, "Where are you going?"
Hairy Monkey pointed above his head. "This is my home. Actually, I was originally a monk. My parents abandoned me after giving birth to me. Fortunately, my teacher saved me. However, he did not have the time to raise me, so he sent me to this Lianyun Temple. Once this is over, I will naturally continue to be a monk."
Luo Kai did not say anything. He held Lu Qing's hand and followed Hairy Monkey out of the underground space. He saw Hairy Monkey erecting a tombstone for Li Gui in an open space not far from the temple. The tombstone had already been dug. It was obvious that Li Gui had planned this. Even Luo Kai's pursuit was within his expectations.
After some hesitation, he walked over and bowed. Regardless of whether Li Gui did it intentionally or not, and regardless of whether this so-called inheritance was good or bad, Luo Kai's bow was just to commemorate the days when they went through thick and thin together on South Tooth Island.
After descending the mountain, they ate at a village and strolled around Moonlight Bay with Lu Qing. Beautiful things always made one's mood better. Luo Kai's thoughts gradually calmed down, but Lu Qing was a little strange. She would always be in a daze.
In the afternoon, on a large rock by the lake, Luo Kai flipped open the notebook in his hand. It recorded in detail the cultivation method of blood energy. Blood energy was a type of dark energy. Devouring the blood of life was the only way to advance. Blood was the energy transportation channel for all kinds of life forms. The function of the blood energy essence was to filter the other types of energy in the blood and focus on absorbing the dark energy within.
The dark energy could greatly enhance the toughness of one's blood cells and the efficiency of energy transportation. It could increase the cultivator's heart rate, greatly increase the ability to provide oxygen, strengthen the body, sharpen the sense of smell, and possess a strong night perception ability. After cultivating to the extreme, as long as the heart and brain were not seriously damaged, the body would not die. All organs could be endlessly regenerated.
In the early stages of fusing with the blood energy essence, the cultivator would have an uncontrollable bloodthirsty impulse. At the same time, they would be afraid of light energy …
Reading up to this point, Luo Kai raised his head and stared at the sun for a while. He only felt that it was a little dazzling. Other than that, he did not feel uncomfortable. This blood energy essence did not seem to be of any use to him.
Unknowingly, the sky turned dark and a crescent moon hung in the sky. Luo Kai stood up and stretched. He turned his head and looked at Lu Qing who was beside him. She was staring blankly at the moon above her head.
"Qing, what's wrong?"
Luo Kai walked up and asked worriedly. Lu Qing was a little absent-minded today. She would often stay in the same place and fall into deep thought for no reason.
Lu Qing came back to her senses and turned her head to look at him. She said softly, "Luo Kai, if I leave, will you miss me?"
Luo Kai touched her snow-white forehead and asked with concern, "Are you feeling unwell?"
Lu Qing stared into his eyes with fascination and murmured, "Luo Kai, meeting you is the greatest blessing in my life."
"What are you talking about, silly girl!" Luo Kai lowered his head and rubbed the tip of her nose intimately.
Lu Qing burrowed into his arms and hugged him very tightly. It was as if Luo Kai would disappear if she let go.
Luo Kai had a vague premonition in his heart. He raised Lu Qing's beautiful face and said in a low voice, "Qing, what happened? Tell me, there's always a way to solve it."
Lu Qing shook her head and continued to ask, "Luo Kai, do you believe that people have a next life?"
"Why are you always talking nonsense today? Did that old man Li Gui do something to you?" Luo Kai was a little flustered as he stimulated his spiritual energy and probed her body.
Lu Qing sighed softly with an indescribable melancholy. Her beautiful eyes were full of affection as she looked at him and said softly, "You have to be more cheerful in the future. Little girls don't like blockheads like you."
