Do not engage in underworld operations in the human world!

late at night.

Jiang Lu slept on the upper bunk of Lu Qing, diagonally above Zhu Zhen, covered with a small quilt, lying flat on his back with his hands on the edge of the quilt. He looked very well-behaved, but his eyes were wide open.

On the side is a mobile phone that is ready to go. With just a tap, you can start the live broadcast.

But he hasn't started yet, because Lu Qing is chattering about how difficult it is to live in Kunlun Mountains.

These contents are not what fans want to see, nor are they suitable for leaking.

Jiang Lu thought that just listening to a few words from her would be enough, but who knew that she would actually tell Jiang Lu the entire process from getting started to getting through it as if it were a personal memoir or a biography.

Lu Qing looked very aloof, so Jiang Lu never expected that she would have this skill towards people she gradually got to know. In the beginning, he just agreed with her from time to time, but in the end, he felt like his brain was being treated by a strong alkali. The whole process was extremely difficult for Jiang Lu to endure, just like he was in class listening to a course that he could not understand at all and had no interest in at all.

His feeling is like:
Wasn't I here for a physiology class? But why was she talking about the relationship between human origins and the universe?
"Are you listening?" Seeing that Jiang Lu didn't respond for a long time, Lu Qing thought he was asleep.

"Ah, I'm listening."

"But you didn't say anything."

"I don't know how to answer. After all, I have not experienced the troubles you mentioned. I don't want my unprofessional or arbitrary remarks to make you think I am a frivolous person and affect the image of me in your heart." Jiang Lu said perfunctorily, staring at the small bulb on the roof that emitted a faint yellow light in a daze.

"Don't think too much about it. Just treat it as a casual chat between friends. Don't put so much pressure on yourself." Lu Qing comforted.

However, despite saying this, Jiang Lu's sincerity still made her feel a little favorable towards him.

Whether it is Kunlun Mountain or some outstanding young people outside who I have met in the past, they always have a problem, that is, they will rely on their own superior conditions to condescendingly express their views and opinions on some issues, in order to show their unique insights.

But in Lu Qing's opinion, they are often just talking big and empty talk that is not in line with reality.

So even though Jiang Lu didn't say anything, the fact that he honestly expressed that he didn't understand and didn't make rash comments about things he didn't understand was enough to create a huge gap between him and those people.

If you understand, you understand; if you don’t understand, you don’t understand. This pragmatic attitude is very much to Lu Qing’s liking.

"You know, I actually suffered from severe depression for a long time, but my master questioned me, saying that I practiced and wandered around Kunlun Mountain every day, so how could I be depressed?"

Lu Qing suddenly led the topic to a more serious direction:

"My classmates also said that I wasn't depressed at all, but that I wasn't strong enough inside, and that my anxiety was just a manifestation of my immaturity. It seemed that in their opinion, depression could be overcome by willpower, which made me suffer a lot."

"Uh"

Jiang Lu didn't understand why she suddenly said this, but he still subconsciously replied:
“A lot of people feel that way.”

The lower bunk was silent for a moment: "Do you think so too?"

Jiang Lu was about to answer, "What else? Does having depression give me the privilege to be worshipped by you?" when the alarm in his heart suddenly sounded.

He came back to his senses and noticed keenly that this seemed to have triggered a key plot point.

It is similar to the watershed moment when you capture a female character in a galgame, which will have a significant impact on the subsequent plot. How you answer this question will mean the difference between heaven and hell.

Thinking of this, Jiang Lu pondered for a moment.

“Many people think depression is just a psychological problem that can be overcome, but I don’t think so.”

"Then what do you think?"

"In my opinion, it is true that depression is a psychological problem, but it is uncontrollable, just like people with autism, they also long to embrace the outside world, but for various reasons, they cannot do so."

Jiang Lu sighed:

“Many people refer to depression as a mental cold, but this is actually very misleading because a cold can heal itself, but depression cannot. It is like a person who must eat and drink water. It cannot be overcome with just effort.

Moreover, it does not distinguish between friend and foe. It will not only hurt those around you, but also yourself. It can be said to be a kind of emotional AIDS that will completely destroy the emotional immune system. All bad emotions will be infinitely amplified under its blessing, and then cause great harm.

Your master and your fellow disciples probably don’t know this, so they don’t take it seriously, but fortunately you look healthy now, which proves that at least their lack of understanding has not put you in a worse predicament.”

"Can you understand?" Lu Qing's voice trembled slightly.

"Of course, I was also a patient with depression." Jiang Lu's voice became a little painful, but then he said with relief: "But that's all in the past."

"Really?" Lu Qing was a little bit unbelievable. He didn't expect that this person who made him like her had the same past as her: "When do you usually enter that state? How should I put it? Inexplicably depressed, losing interest in everything, just wanting to stay in a closed environment forever, or just die."

"Well, let me think, when will I become depressed?"

Jiang Lu thought for a while and answered:

“It’s time to take responsibility for mistakes you made.”

"Ok?"

"Ah, anyway, it was a very difficult time, but I made it through." Jiang Lu quickly changed the subject: "At that time, I had to take medicine every day, and then received treatment with the help of a psychologist. I persisted for a long time. How about you?"

"I didn't take any medicine."

Lü Qing recalled:
“I met a very gentle and beautiful older sister at that time.

I just remember that I was feeling very low that day and she came up to me and asked me what happened.

Actually, I don’t know why I am sad, but I just feel sad for no apparent reason.

I ignored her, but she didn't get angry either. She just sat with me under the tree for the whole afternoon.

After I went back that day, I had a dream. I have forgotten the content of the dream, but starting from the next day, my condition began to gradually improve.

My cultivation also began to advance by leaps and bounds. I soon stood out among my peers and successfully became the chief disciple of this generation.

It was not until the day I was conferred the title and had the honor of meeting the Grandmaster that I realized that the gentle elder sister I met under the tree that day was actually the Grandmaster himself!"

"Ancestor." Jiang Lu asked tentatively, "Queen Mother of the West?"

"Yes, it's her."

Lu Qing said excitedly:
“It was then that I realized that it was the Grandmaster who quietly helped me overcome my depression, and even my great improvement in cultivation might have had a lot to do with her.

So from that day on, I regarded the master as my role model in life and my absolute belief. "

At this time, Zhu Zhen, who had not interrupted and was thought by Jiang Lu and Lu Qing to have been asleep, suddenly said, "There is such a thing. I didn't even know about it."

"That's right, the Grandmaster is the best!" Lu Qing said happily, looking like a fanatical star-chasing girl. Zhu Zhen suddenly realized: "So, this time you want to go down the mountain, just for..."

Hearing Zhu Zhen's outspoken words, Lu Qing's face changed: "Shut up!"

Zhu Zhen then realized that Jiang Lu, an outsider, was still present, so he immediately fell silent and pretended to be asleep.

Jiang Lu was confused: "Why?"

"Nothing." Lu Qing answered nonchalantly.

But her acting skills were so poor that Jiang Lu thought it was simply a case of trying to cover up one's own faults.

"You don't act like this is nothing."

Jiang Lu, who was eager to know what happened, played the emotional card:

“I feel so uncomfortable when you say half of this. We have already told each other about our past experiences. Can’t you still trust my character?
Just tell me, I promise I won’t tell anyone else, I swear! "

"." Lu Qing remained silent.

She actually wanted to tell Jiang Lu the truth, because in her opinion, what she did was something to be proud of and not something shameful.

But since it concerns the Queen Mother of the West, she still has some concerns.

Seeing that Lu Qing seemed unmoved, Jiang Lu added more strength: "Have you forgotten what I said before, that I took the initiative to ask to go to Kunlun Mountain for further studies because I admired the Queen Mother of the West very much? I also want to do something for her within my ability. Tell me if there is anything you need, maybe I can help."

Hearing this, Lu Qing finally began to waver.

As a colleague, she can understand Jiang Lu very well.

Since we are all fans of Queen Mother of the West, there should be no harm in talking about it, right?
Thinking of this, Lu Qing finally chose to believe Jiang Lu and told him the reason why he went down the mountain.

"Okay, but before I tell you, I want to ask you, do you know about the Three Corpses?"

Killing the three corpses again?
Jiang Lu was a little surprised.

"I know a little bit, the general principles and so on, but my cultivation is not enough, and I can't get in touch with it, so I only have a partial understanding of the details."

"It's enough to have a little understanding. You don't need to know too much."

Lu Qing organized his words and then continued:
“It’s like this, about two months ago, when I was helping my master with some affairs, I heard some news.

The master heard the ancestor talking to himself, saying that her three corpse calamities were about to come.

Although I have not killed the Three Corpses, I also know that the Three Corpses Tribulation is an extremely dangerous calamity for anyone who wants to become an immortal. The only way to resolve it is to nip the Three Corpses in the bud before they become a calamity.

This task must be done by other people, because although the Three Corpse Spirits are very dangerous to the individual, they may not be dangerous to others.

My master once volunteered to help the founder resolve this disaster, but for some reason, the founder refused and expressly forbade anyone to look for her three corpse spirits. Violators would be severely punished.

After knowing this, I couldn't sit still.

I felt that I had to do something even if I might be severely punished or even kicked out.

Therefore, I used my identity as the chief disciple to look through all the ancient books in the Sutra Library, and finally locked the location of the three corpse spirits of the founder near Nanjiang City, but I didn't know the exact location.

That's why I showed up in Nanjiang City, to try and see if I can kill the Three Corpse Spirits before they become a disaster.

As for why we first met in a casino, it was because during my investigation I happened to hear that an organization wanted by the entire Sanqing world was using the casino to commit evil, so I planned to get rid of this cancer, but I didn't expect you to get there first."

"Is that so?"

After listening to Lu Qing's story, Jiang Lu was thoughtful.

This unexpected information suddenly sent a chill down his spine.

Two months ago, when they had just arrived in this world, they were probably still climbing the mountain. The seal on Mount Gaishi had not been broken at all. But at that time, Queen Mother of the West seemed to have known that Jin Yao was about to reappear in the world.

And according to Lu Qing, she could have clearly killed Jin Yao before she became anything powerful, but she chose not to do so. She even protected her in disguise, preventing others from dealing with her.

If it were in the past, Jiang Lu would have wondered if the Queen Mother of the West had come to her senses and wanted to overcome her weakness of the Three Corpses instead of running away from it.

But now he felt that this was not the case.

Because he didn't believe that the Queen Mother of the West, with her suspicious nature, would be unaware of the self-righteous little actions that Lu Qing was doing under her nose, not to mention that Lu Qing found Jin Yao's approximate location with ease, which was even more incredible.

If the Queen Mother of the West intended to hide, how could she possibly get in touch with her?
So can we say that Lu Qing came down the mountain with her tacit consent?

But what’s the point?

If she really wanted to do this, why did she let Lu Qing do unnecessary things? Whether she could kill Jin Yao or not was not the point. First of all, this was obviously a superfluous move.

In addition, Queen Mother of the West once helped Lu Qing cure her depression and was suspected of helping her grow into the chief disciple. Jiang Lu did not believe that Queen Mother of the West had no plans for Lu Qing.

Moreover, after Lu Qing arrived in Nanjiang City, he easily found Dong Wanggong's lair without the help of the Law Enforcement Bureau. This was too much of a coincidence.

Thinking back to what Dong Wanggong said, that the casino incident was planned by Yuanshi Tianzun, Jiang Lu couldn't help but feel that the situation seemed to be getting more and more chaotic.

Strange, really strange.

"This is my biggest secret. You must not tell anyone else, otherwise I will come after you!" Lu Qing deliberately said in a threatening tone.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."

Jiang Lu said "hmm":
"This is a secret between us."

"it is good."

"Then, you haven't found the Three Corpse Spirits, why do you suddenly want to go back?" Jiang Lu asked again.

Lu Qing was silent for a moment: "Because there is no need to look for it."

"why?"

"I believe that the three corpse spirits have become powerful in yesterday's catastrophe, so I must rush back to Kunlun Mountain immediately." (End of this chapter)
