Chapter 630 Variables
Chapter 630 Variables
The long bridge of conscience is more than ten thousand feet long. Five hundred feet is not far at all. We haven't even walked one tenth or twelveth of it. But when we stand outside the bridge and look into the distance, we feel as if there is a huge gap between us that can never be crossed.
This bridge of inquiry is more than ten thousand feet long, and it is not only used to trap the old ancestor. The cultivators in this world have a long life span of hundreds, thousands, tens of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands of years. Who can guarantee a life without regrets?
Even if one's heart is free of flaws, can one still cross this bridge? Outside the Heart-Searching Bridge, everyone looked at the woman walking slowly. Those with sharp eyes immediately recognized that this person was Mu Qin.
Mu Qin has two bodies and two lives, so she has two faces. When she was traveling with Li Changxiao, she originally showed Zhao Qing's face to others, and it never changed. But since she stepped onto the Heart-searching Bridge, her body, spirit, and Dao have been tortured over and over again. Her face has also changed with the ups and downs of her mood. Zhao Qing's face is unfamiliar to others, but Mu Qin's face is also a fairy who has been on many lists and is famous for her indifference and killing power.
How could they not recognize her? At this moment, hundreds of experts focused their attention on her. Mu Shu and Mu Qi also focused their attention and looked at Mu Qin.
Mu Shu said, "I should have expected that Senior Sister would step onto the Bridge of Inquiry alone. I don't really care what happens to her. Humph, I don't care even more about what happens to Li Changxiao. I wish they both died here."
Mu Qi said, "Junior sister, you should think of a solution quickly. If my power is lost, won't Brother Chang Xiao be trapped in the giant stone maze and unable to get out?"
Mu Shu said, "Why don't you go to the Heart-seeking Bridge and pull Senior Sister back?" Mu Qi shuddered, "Do you want to kill me? I understand. Even Senior Sister has such a hard time walking. My determination to seek the truth is far inferior to hers. I'm afraid I won't be able to move forward even a step before I reach 500 feet."
Mu Qi added, "If I try to retreat at that time, those hundreds of warriors will definitely kill me. If I advance, my cultivation will be lost. Not only will I not be able to bring back my sister, but I will also waste my life and cultivation in vain. I will never do such a deal."
Mu Shu was upset. In terms of the attention and love she had received since childhood, she was far more than Mu Qin. But every time she saw her, she would always feel a sense of inexplicable jealousy. Seeing her determined pursuit of the Tao, he couldn't help but think, "Sister's talent in cultivation is comparable to that of ordinary people. If we only talk about talent, I am indeed a little bit worse, but that doesn't mean I am worse than her. She dared to cross this bridge, why can't I?"
She was so angry that she lost some of her rationality and wanted to rush into the bridge, but she suddenly woke up and rubbed her temples, thinking: "What happened to me just now? I am not a reckless person, why did I..."
Mu Shu was confused for a moment, then Mu Qi patted his shoulder and motioned her to look towards the Heart-Searching Bridge. Mu Shu came back to his senses.
On the long bridge, Mu Qin finally spat out a mouthful of blood. Her breath was a little weak, but she was fine. Mu Qi said, "At this rate, Senior Sister will definitely not make it. Let me think of some way to help Senior Sister."
Mu Shu blurted out, "Why?" But after a few seconds, he said angrily, "Okay. But I have a way to help Senior Sister cross this long bridge of inquiry."
Mu Qi raised his eyebrows and thought, "Junior sister is really very intelligent." He asked, "What's the solution?"
Mu Shu said, "You and I have agreed on three points. Each of us will contribute half of our strength. Since I have contributed wisdom, you will contribute spiritual energy. It won't take up much spiritual energy, but if I have to contribute, I will feel uncomfortable. I can't describe the feeling."
Mu Qi nodded, this is natural. Then, Mu Shu explained the methods one by one. It turned out that this long bridge of conscience was thousands of feet long, and there was a rolling river below. Within this range, any magic that changed the position would be ineffective. It was like being in a movement-control device.
It seems that there is only a long bridge to step on.
In fact, there is still an exit. Mu Shu said, "Since you are a fortune teller, let me ask you, what is the first principle of a fortune teller?"
Mu Qi said: "Don't calculate everything, don't do everything! There are fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, if you miss one, it will become a variable!"
Mu Qi and the others understood at that time and said, "The Divine Calculation Sect is the leader among all the calculation sects in the world, and they follow this point even more, and never calculate all the secrets of heaven."
Mu Shu smiled lightly, "Indeed, speaking of this, I will tell you an interesting story. When the might of heaven was sent down to punish and the world was destroyed by thunder, the Divine Calculation Sect was not completely destroyed in one fell swoop. There was still a divine fortune teller who survived by chance and asked me to cooperate with him to avenge my senior sister. But it also proved that nothing is perfect. When the might of heaven was sent down to punish, that person was missed. But now it seems that my senior sister is alive and well and has found a lover. The divine fortune teller's plan failed and he probably committed suicide."
Mu Qi sighed in his heart. The Divine Calculation Sect was so amazing that no one in the world could match it. As a fellow fortune teller, he knew how powerful the Divine Calculation Sect was. It was almost like a sect that could match the talents of all the fortune tellers in the world. But perhaps it was destined by heaven and earth that they could calculate everything in the world and everyone else, but they just couldn't calculate that variable. The Divine Calculation Sect was destroyed because of this, and the Divine Calculator died because of this.
Mu Shu's words originally meant that although the Bridge of Integrity was used by the Divine Calculation Sect to trap Mu Laozu, it secretly left a way out. It was only to abide by the principle of "not counting all the things", but Mu Laozu never thought deeply about it. It was not because he was stupid, but because he had a complicated path and a bad temper. How could he have thought that the Divine Calculation Sect actually left a way out for him?
Self-trapping, self-trapping... The emphasis is on the word "self". For those who trap themselves, no matter how big the world is, no place is not a cage.
But even if we knew there was another entrance and exit, how to find it would still be a difficult problem. Fortunately, Mu Shu was extremely intelligent and Mu Qi was good at calculations. Although he was not as good as the genius of the Divine Calculation Sect, he was not bad either. With the two of them helping each other, there was still hope.
Mu Qi asked, "You mentioned to me that Mu Qingtian worked for the ancestor, but the ancestor was trapped on the Heart-Searching Bridge and could not get out. How did Mu Qingtian meet the ancestor? Could it be that he has mastered the location of the 'variable' and can freely enter and exit the Heart-Searching Bridge? Then why didn't the ancestor come out himself?"
Mu Shu had long been curious about this place and had paid close attention to it in her early years, and had figured it out thoroughly. She told Mu Qi that Patriarch Mu was trapped on the Bridge of Inquiry, but he could issue decrees and communicate with people from the outside world, and there were many ways to communicate.
Although Mu Laozu was not free, he was very powerful. He could see everything in the Great Heaven Realm. If he wanted to use a great magic, he could strike across the Heart-Searching Bridge. However, the spiritual energy was exhausted, and all the people in the Mu Mansion had dispersed. Although Mu Laozu had a high level of cultivation, he was not young. Mu Shu estimated that if Mu Laozu had not died of old age, he would have run away early.
The reason why Mu Shu speculated like this was related to Mu Qingtian's defection. Mu Qingtian followed the Mu Patriarch and was loyal to him, but then the Patriarch's cultivation went awry and his cultivation level gradually declined, from the peak of the fusion stage to the middle and early stages of the fusion stage. Mu Qingtian gradually felt insecure and felt that the Mu Mansion was not a place to stay for long, so he fled in a hurry with Mu Shu.
(I didn't sleep well last night, so I have a headache today (-???-???-???-???-???___-???-???-???-???-???), so I'll take more rest. There's only one update today.
I also want to tell everyone that this book has been published as an audiobook. If you are interested, you can go and listen to it. ⊙︿⊙)
