Take the blame
51: 51.
Take the blame
Suddenly an unexpected visitor arrived, and Xiao Cha’s heart tightened.
She whispered to Lu Li:
“This idiot is my cousin Luo Xiaoyun.
I hardly ever see him, maybe once every few years.
How unlucky to bump into him here~”
Both were stuffed with incriminating evidence and dared not make any significant movements—it was truly not a good time.
Seeing that Xiao Cha was ignoring him and only communicating with Lu Li, Luo Xiaoyun felt dissatisfied and said,
“Hey, I’m talking to you!
Why didn’t you report your ‘Refining Internal Organs’ to the clan!”
Xiao Cha rolled her eyes and said, “We hardly have any interactions on normal days, and now I have to report to you when I refine my organs, just for you to order me around?
Do you get to claim all the good things for yourself?”
“You!” Luo Xiaoyun’s face stiffened with anger, “What kind of attitude is that!
I am your elder brother!”
“Don’t, I, a daughter from a collateral branch of the family, certainly cannot aspire to that.”
Xiao Cha said with a half-smile, “Let’s just go our separate ways and pretend we didn’t see each other.”
Luo Xiaoyun’s face turned from green to white with anger as he tried to suppress his rage and said,
“Families can say harsh things out of anger; I won’t take it to heart as your brother.”
Just as Xiao Cha was wondering how this fool had suddenly changed his tune, she heard Luo Xiaoyun continue,
“There’s some good news for you—the son of the Yahang Leader has been married for many years without a child.
With your childbearing hips, if you marry him and give birth to their heirs, you’ll surely rise with your child’s status…”
“Motherf***er!” This time it was Xiao Cha who couldn’t hold back, “So you plan to make me someone’s concubine!”
“It’s for your good…”
“Good my ass!
Everyone knows what kind of person the Yahang Leader’s son is!
A bunch of living animals!”
The two argued more and more fiercely, and Xiao Cha’s entourage quickly stepped forward to separate them.
“Luo, let’s forget it; don’t argue at the Spirit Hall!”
“The Wang family elders are here, and even Chief Chen came to pay his respects!”
…
Seeing that Chen Zhizhong had just entered the Spirit Hall and was exchanging pleasantries with an uncle of the Wang family,
Xiao Cha finally lowered her voice in disgust:
“Luo Xiaoyun, get the hell out!
I have no time to waste on you!”
Luo Xiaoyun’s face couldn’t hide his anger, “If you dare, don’t come begging the clan for help!
Humph!”
With that, he left, strutting away pompously.
Xiao Cha’s underlings also hurriedly ran aside, not daring to upset their superior.
Little did they know, Xiao Cha was actually relieved, “Finally gone.
Having such a shitty relative is really bad luck.”
Lu Li nodded in agreement, “Indeed quite shitty.
But what did he mean with his last words?”
“After ‘Refining Internal Organs,’ cultivation requires moving the inner breath through the meridians,”
Xiao Cha explained, “It’s quite risky.
For instance, using inner breath to cleanse the spine can easily lead to paralysis if one is not careful.
That’s why trustworthy people are needed to watch over you, like blood relatives.”
Hearing this, Lu Li had a thought: meridians…
isn’t that what Professor Qian Ping was researching?
He took note of this information and left openly and at ease.
As soon as he left, the Chief Constable Chen Zhizhong came out of the Spirit Hall.
Unaware of the astonishing crime committed by his staff, Chief Chen was still nodding satisfactorily,
“I heard you came early this morning, good, you’re conscientious.”
Xiao Cha replied with vitality, “It’s my duty to alleviate Lord Wang’s concerns!”
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Lu Li walked back to the clinic with a steady pace, showing no signs of trouble.
Wanqing was already waiting and came up to him with concern, “Are you alright, Young Master?”
“Everything went smoothly, no issues.”
Lu Li took off the firearms and books wrapped around him, “I got some books related to Zuowang; I’ll read them to you.”
“There’s no rush.” Wanqing asked, “Is Wang Wen dead?”
“Dead,” Lu Li said.
“How did he die?” Wanqing asked, her interest piqued.
Seeing how intrigued the young lady was, Lu Li elaborated:
“He turned himself into a zombie, and after a great battle, his head was smashed by Xiao Cha… He also witnessed his own son die before his eyes.”
Wanqing listened attentively, a slow smile spreading across her face:
“When the Chuyun people breached the city, they slaughtered all the people within.
Yet, this Lord Wang claimed in the newspaper… that they all died of illness.”
Wanqing performed a Wanfu Ceremony, her voice gentle: “On behalf of the many wronged souls, I thank Young Master Lu for executing justice on heaven’s behalf.”
“It’s what I should have done,” Lu Li replied, picking up the books.
“Let’s read together.”
“Okay.” Wanqing placed her hand on Lu Li’s arm, and they moved to the main hall together.
The books Lu Li had retrieved were “Heavenly Light Sitting Forget Skill,” “Zuowang Theory,” and “Brain and Nerves: Telekinesis,” three in total.
First, he picked up “Heavenly Light Sitting Forget Skill,” eager to find a method for a breakthrough.
“To discard the physical body, to dull the wit, to leave form and knowledge behind, and to unite with the Great Tao, this is called Zuowang.”
As before, the descriptions in the Cultivation Method were profound and brief, comprising only a few thousand characters, but they were obscure.
It would be impossible for a Loose Cultivator with no schooling to understand.
Fortunately, there was a second book, “Zuowang Theory.”
This book was a compilation of insights and views on Zuowang by numerous Refining God experts.
Lu Li was thrilled; it was essentially a detailed commentary that arrived just in time!
The opening words were from Sima Chengzhen of the Tang Dynasty:
“Zuowang requires the external forgetting of the body and the internal forgetting of the mind, achieving a clear and tranquil spirit, only then can it unite with the Great Tao.”
Wanqing added, “This is the concept of Forgetfulness… but how can it unite with the Great Tao?”
“I’ll continue reading and see,” Lu Li said.
He read on, finding annotations by more contemporary figures, which were much easier to understand.
Especially the remarks by Li Yuanzhong who put it most plainly:
“Zuowang hinges on the single word ‘forget,’ to let oneself achieve Forgetfulness, achieving a clear and tranquil mind.”
“But it’s not about self-indulgence or numbing oneself, the ultimate goal of ‘forget’ is to ‘comprehend the self’!”
“To connect with the True Self, to grasp the True Self, is to remove the shackles on the human heart, to achieve the Higher Self!”
It was now plainly clear, and both of them suddenly realized:
“Zuowang is about grasping the ‘True Self’ through Forgetfulness and a peaceful mind…”
“And the ‘True Self’ is the very spirit of a person, free from the need for a physical body or any other material existence!”
“Zuowang is about connecting to one’s Divine Soul!”
The truth became clearer the more they discussed.
By reading and discussing together, they quickly grasped the essence of Zuowang—connecting with the Divine Soul!
Wanqing nodded repeatedly: “It’s no wonder it’s called ‘Sitting Forget.’ To connect with the Divine Soul, one must first achieve Forgetfulness!”
Just as they were about to delve deeper into “Brain and Nerves: Telekinesis,” there was a sudden disturbance at the door.
Xiao Cha was back!
Lu Li looked up and realized that, unbeknownst to them, it had become completely dark outside.
He asked Xiao Cha, “The situation must have escalated, right?
How did the Wang family handle it?”
By now, the Wang family must have noticed something was amiss, and normally one would expect them to kick up a storm.
However, Xiao Cha replied with a strange expression: “The Wang family members… didn’t make a fuss and announced that Wang Siqi died of excessive grief.”
“Ah?”
“Thousands of visitors came to offer their condolences today, all of them prominent people.
Even the Governor’s daughter was there… With such an incident occurring in front of everyone, the Wang family has lost face!
They’re too embarrassed to cry out and can only secretly investigate the matter.”
Xiao Cha’s voice trembled with excitement:
“A Jiushan Sect disciple, who had met with the Wang father and son when they were alive, has become the prime suspect.
The reputation of the Jiushan Sect isn’t too good, and everyone thinks they are responsible, which means it has nothing to do with us!”
Luck was on their side, resulting in a flawless crime.
The Police Beauty was so excited that her eyes brimmed with tears.
