Chapter 64: Zhou Zihao (3)

When Lin Qingyin's words stopped, their heartbeat skipped a beat: "Humans cultivate to ascend to the heaven, not to mention animals. However, even if they are lucky enough to open the road towards spiritual wisdom, the road is long and difficult. They have to go through tribulation time and time again. Not to mention, they are more restricted by the laws of heaven and earth."

Lin Qingyin took out her tortoiseshell and stroked it gently. Once her golden tortoiseshell was also a spiritual animal, it was a pity that she fell under the ninth tribulation of thunder. Fortunately, its soul and shell were still intact. It was unwilling to reincarnate, so it begged her with the last bit of strength to refine itself into a magic weapon and the remaining trace of its soul voluntarily becomes a tool spirit.

Although it may have a different identity after reincarnation, this didn't tempt it. It just wants to protect her forever.

Seeing the white snake, Lin Qingyin felt as if she had seen her spiritual turtle.

"The first law of heaven and earth is, the spirit creatures with the spiritual wisdom can't hurt people, let alone kill people. Back then, it killed a group of bandits to protect your ancestors. At that time, it suffered a serious backlash. Over the past two hundred years, its cultivation level didn't make any progress, rather it has been decreasing. Later, when it stay by your side, it commits another murder. By then, its cultivation base can no longer withstand the condemnation of the heavens."

Lin Qingyin’s words hit Grandpa Zhou’s heart like a hammer. He remembered that the first time the white snake appeared weak, it was after killing the six heartless soldiers. When the war was over, it didn't even have the strength to hunt on its own.

The white snake has lived for many years and cultivated with great effort. Maybe it hoped that one day it can escape from its snake body and become a human being, or maybe become an immortal. But when it saw the person it was protecting was about to die, it resolutely gave up everything.

It has survived the catastrophe of the tribulation of thunder, but it didn't pass the emotional test.

Grandpa Zhou cried in sadness. Lin Qingyin lowered her head and gently stroked the tortoiseshell: "This is its choice. It hopes to protect you."

"It's all my fault!" Grandpa Zhou cried while hammering his chest: "If I hadn't been curious to worship the white snake, it would still be cultivating in the mountains up to now! I forced it to come back, delaying its cultivation and killed it."

Although Zhou Wenshan and Zhou Zihao were also sad for the white snake, at this time they were more worried about the old man's body. So they hurriedly got up and held his hand.

"But it hasn't left." Lin Qingyin looked up at the old house with a warm smile on her face: "It's still guarding you."

"Yes, yes, yes!" Zhou Zihao said quickly: "Last night, the little master set up the formation, we saw the white snake coming in through the door, and then it went around the house… …" He scratched his head and said embarrassingly: "It's just that, when it didn't see us, it seemed to be got angry."

Grandpa Zhou quickly wiped away his tears. He wanted to ask about the White Snake. He was afraid that Lin Qingyin would blame him for his bad attitude at the beginning. He quickly explained: "Actually, I have been secretly worshiping the white snake over the years. When I was at Zihao's house, Zihao’s parents are busy. They didn’t notice at all that I am worshiping it in my room, but it will be more convenient to worship it if I return to our old house. Apart from offering sacrifices at home on every 15th day of the new year, I can go to the cave and burn incense for the white snake. However, since this villa is built, my children and grandchildren, who didn't have any trouble in their life, have to take turns to come back to accompany us, which restrain me."
