Chapter 607: Stealing Fruit
The matter of Mu Qingtian might bring out many secrets of the Mu family. Li Changxiao looked Mu Shu up and down, thinking that although this girl was cunning, she knew a lot and could talk about many secrets at will. If he killed her like this, it would be difficult to find another Mu family member with such knowledge.
Thinking of this, Li Changxiao's killing intent gradually faded. Mu Shu breathed a sigh of relief. It was true that being with the emperor was like being with a tiger. She had been smart since she was a child, and her appearance was beautiful. Few people in the world could match her. Perhaps she was too smart, so she lacked some purity. Although she had an excellent talent for cultivation, her understanding of the great Dao was always a little lacking.
At this moment, she was controlled by others, feeling humiliated and helpless. Li Changxiao asked her several questions one after another, and she answered them one by one, not daring to tell a lie.
Li Changxiao finally learned a little about the secrets of the Mu Mansion. It turned out that the Great Heaven Realm was integrated into reality, and all the children of the Mu family came to find it. There was a lot of tricks in it. The Mu Mansion recruited people from all over the world who were of ordinary origin but extremely talented, and led them into the Tao, taught them skills and magic. In addition to strengthening their own power, they also had other plans.
The cultivators go against the will of heaven and fight for the good fortune of heaven and earth, and all they do is to achieve immortality and the great Dao. Those who have achieved a high level of cultivation and have a strong understanding of the Dao in their body can produce huge fruits, which are called "Dao fruits".
Dao Fruit is both abstract and concrete, and varies from person to person. When a disciple of the Mu Mansion reaches a certain level of cultivation, if he wants to leave the Mu Mansion, he often needs to fulfill the three conditions of Ancestor Mu.
The first condition is usually to accept a disciple. The second condition depends on the situation at the time, either to kill a few enemies or to deal with some difficult matters. The third condition is to return the Dao fruit. In terms of the theory of the Mu Mansion, the Mu Mansion led them into the Dao. Without the Mu Mansion, they would not have achieved what they have today. Therefore, they left the Mu Mansion on the grounds of returning the Dao fruit.
Many Mu family disciples who had left the Mu Mansion and returned to the Mu Mansion had only one goal, which was to get back their own Dao Fruits. Mu Qin, Mu Shu, Mu Qi... were no exception, but Mu Qin and Mu Qi didn't know where their Dao Fruits were, but Mu Shu knew.
Li Changxiao asked, "What will happen if the Dao Fruit is stolen?"
Mu Shu said: "The cultivation has declined and the realm has fallen. Senior sister once entered the fusion stage, but she almost fell from the fusion stage after the Dao fruit was picked. The realm is extremely unstable. Now the spiritual energy is exhausted. I am afraid she has fallen into the refining realm."
In this way, Li Changxiao understood everything. He had known for a long time that Mu Xianchang's realm had fallen once, but he had never known why. It was not until today that he knew that it was stolen by Mu Laozu.
Mu Shu rolled his eyes and said, "Mr. Li, you entered the Great Heaven Realm with my senior sister, so you must be helping her find the Dao Fruit. Why doesn't my senior sister stay with you?"
Li Changxiao used the Qingping sword to stir the fire. The firewood was burning vigorously, making a sizzling sound and sparks escaping from time to time. He said, "I will help her, but everyone has their own way. When it is time for me to help her, we will meet."
Mu Shu thought to himself, "Haha, that sounds nice, but she was dumped. I know Senior Sister's bad character best, and I'm right... dumping him shows that Senior Sister has something to hide."
She smiled and said, "How about this, we can write off all our past grudges and work together to retrieve the Dao Fruit."
Li Changxiao replied: "You? To be honest, I haven't made up my mind whether to kill you or not." Mu Shu said: "My senior sister has never killed me, so you won't kill me either. Besides, if you kill me, you won't know where the fruit is hidden."
The two talked for a while, and Li Changxiao decided not to kill her for the time being, and went with her to find the Dao fruit. When the two walked out of the cave, Mu Shu felt that she had finally saved her life and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Shushang was poisoned by her fist and her right foot was seriously injured, making it difficult for her to move. She originally wanted to find an exotic fruit to force out the poison, but now that Li Changxiao has appeared, her plan has been completely disrupted. She can only endure the poison from her fist and look for the Taoist fruit with him.
Mu Shu, who has always been very intelligent, feels at the end of his rope following the swordsman. He is at the mercy of the swordsman but cannot give any feedback. He can only mourn in silence, wanting to cry but unable to shed tears.
The two traveled together for four days and returned to the vicinity of Dedao Forest. Mu Shu told Li Changxiao that she came to this Dedao Forest because of the matter of Dao Fruit. Unfortunately, she encountered an unexpected disaster and met the old man Hong Qian, who almost killed her.
Seeing Li Changxiao's meaningful smile, he immediately remembered that the instigator and the mastermind behind the scenes was this person. He hated and was afraid, but he dared not say anything. He had to hold back all the anger in his heart and dared not reveal it at all.
She didn't know that Li Changxiao had a gentle personality. If he said he would not kill her, he would not change his mind easily because of a few words of retort, questioning and abuse. In her mind, Li Changxiao was ruthless, insidious, vindictive, and mysterious. He was the most difficult person to provoke. She was submissive all the way, fearing that she would really die under the long sword.
Deep in the Dedao Forest, Mu Shu was making arrangements. Fearing that Li Changxiao would become suspicious, he explained first: "There is a tree king in the Dedao Forest. This technique has a total of 3,600 leaves. I want to find the tree and pick 197 leaves from it. It will be useful for Daoguo for a while."
Mu Shubu's plan was to lure out the Tree King, because there were so many trees in the forest, and when the wind blew, they rustled like a green sea, making the Tree King very hard to find. In addition, after the previous battle, the Tree King might have already hidden himself, deep inside.
For a while, Mu Shu, who was very smart, could not come up with a solution. She did not make any Feng Shui arrangements, and in the end, it did not work. One night, she had a nightmare. She dreamed that Li Changxiao wanted to kill her. She woke up in the middle of the night. When she turned around, she saw the swordsman holding a sword and sleeping soundly.
She couldn't sleep in the second half of the night, so she sat up until dawn. When Li Changxiao woke up, she immediately explained to him that she was not deliberately procrastinating, nor did she have any evil intentions. She was powerless now and dared not use any tricks. She looked so pitiful that I felt sorry for her. Li Changxiao smiled and thought that Mu Shu was scared silly, like a frightened bird. He didn't intend to kill her.
In the next few days, the two of them were looking for the trace of the Tree King. Before going to bed every day, Mu Shu asked Li Changxiao whether he would kill him today. After hearing Li Changxiao's "no", he patted his chest and went to sleep with peace of mind.
The moon is bright tonight.
Li Changxiao climbed to the top of the tree and lay flat on the crown with his hands behind his head. He saw the sky swaying like a lake with ripples, and the full moon flickering, seeming both real and fake.
But said the other side.
Mu Qin traveled alone, crossing several mountains, to the tomb of the Mu Mansion. The Mu Mansion's intention of accepting a disciple was not simple, but Mu Qin's master had done her a great favor.
Although the body had been stolen and was no longer in the tomb, it was a rare opportunity for Mu Qin to return home, so she should go and take a look.
In front of her master's tomb, Mu Qin was holding a wine gourd. She had been hiding it secretly for a long time, but never found an opportunity, or rather, she had never let go of her grudge, to drink with the swordsman and get drunk.
At this moment, she found her master, drank one sip after another until she was slightly tipsy, hugged the tombstone and murmured, saying that the road ahead was difficult and she really didn't know where to go.
