Chapter 607 Stealing Fruit
The matter of Mu Qingtian might bring out a lot of secrets of the Mu family. Li Changxiao looked Mu Shu up and down, thinking that although this woman was cunning, she knew a lot of truth and could talk about many secrets at will. If she was killed 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 really like living with a tiger to accompany a king. She was smart and beautiful since she was a child. Few people in the world could match her. Maybe she was too smart, so she lacked some purity. Ming had excellent talent for cultivation, but her understanding of the great way was always a little bit behind.
At this moment, she was controlled by others, and she felt humiliated and helpless. Li Changxiao asked her several questions one by one, and she answered them one by one, not daring to tell a lie.
Li Changxiao finally knew a little about the secrets of the Mu family. It turned out that the Great Heaven Realm was integrated into reality, and the children of the Mu family came to look for it. There was a lot of tricks in it. The Mu Mansion recruits people from ordinary backgrounds but with excellent talents, and guides them into Taoism and teaches them skills and techniques. In addition to strengthening their own power, they also have other plans.
The cultivators go against the will of heaven and fight for the creation of heaven and earth, and all they do is to achieve immortality and the great Dao. Those who have a deep cultivation and have a strong understanding of the Dao can produce huge fruits, which are called "Dao Fruit".
Dao Fruit is both abstract and concrete, and it varies from person to person. If the disciples of the Mu Mansion want to leave the Mu Mansion after they have reached a certain level, they often need to complete the three conditions of the Mu Patriarch.
The first condition is often to accept disciples. The second condition depends on the situation at the time, either to kill a few enemies or to deal with some difficult things. The third condition is to return the Dao Fruit. In theory, the Mu Mansion led them into Taoism. Without the Mu Mansion, they would not have achieved what they have today, so they left the Mu Mansion and returned 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 fruit. 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 level has declined and the realm has fallen. Senior sister has entered the fusion stage. After the Dao fruit was picked, she almost fell from the fusion stage. The realm is extremely unstable. Now she is facing the exhaustion of spiritual energy. I am afraid she has fallen into the refining void."
In this way, Li Changxiao understood everything. Li Changxiao knew that Mu Xianchang's realm had fallen once, but he had never known why. Until today, 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, 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 squeaky sound, and sparks occasionally escaped. He said, "I will help her, but everyone has their own way. When it's time for me to help her, we will meet."
Mu Shu thought to himself, "Haha, that sounds good. She was dumped. I know my sister's bad character best, and I know... dumping him just shows that she has something on her mind."
She smiled and said, "How about this? We will write off all our past grudges and we will work together to get back the Dao fruit."
Li Changxiao replied, "You? To be honest, I haven't decided whether to kill you or not." Mu Shu said, "My sister didn't kill 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 go with her to find the Dao fruit. The two walked out of the cave, and Mu Shu felt that he had finally saved his life and breathed a sigh of relief.
Mu Shu was poisoned by her fist and her right foot was seriously injured, making her unable to move. She wanted to find a strange fruit to remove the poison, but now Li Changxiao appeared, completely disrupting her plan. She could only endure the fist poison and go with him to find the Dao fruit.
Mu Shu, who has always been very resourceful, followed the swordsman and felt that she was at the end of her rope. She was manipulated by him but could not respond. She could only mourn in her heart and wanted to cry but had no tears.
The two of them 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 Dao fruit, but she was hit by a sudden disaster and met the old man Hong Qian, who almost killed her.
Seeing Li Changxiao's meaningful smile, she immediately remembered that the instigator and the mastermind behind the scenes was this person. She hated and feared him but dared not say it. She had to hold back all the anger in her heart and dared not reveal it at all.
She didn't know that Li Changxiao had a gentle personality and would not change his mind easily because of a few words of retort, questioning and abuse if he said he would not kill her. In her mind, Li Changxiao was ruthless, sinister, 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.
In the depths of Dedao Forest, Mu Shu was setting up a pattern. Fearing that Li Changxiao would be suspicious, she first explained: "There is a tree king in 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 Shu set up a pattern to lure out the tree king. Because there are many trees in Dedao Forest, when the wind blows, it rustles, like a green sea. How difficult it is to find the tree king. In addition, after the previous battle, the tree king might have hidden away and hid deep in the depths.
For a moment, Mu Shu, who was extremely intelligent, could not come up with a countermeasure. The Feng Shui pattern she did not set up did not work in the end. 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 was she harboring evil intentions. She was powerless now, so she dared not play tricks. She looked so pitiful, and 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, both of them were looking for the traces 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 up to the top of the tree and lay flat on the treetop, with his hands behind his head. He saw the sky swaying like a rippled lake, and the full moon swaying, which seemed real and fake.
But on the other side.
Mu Qin went alone, crossing several mountains, to the tomb of the Mu Mansion. The intention of the Mu Mansion to accept 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, Mu Qin had returned once, so she should go there.
In front of the master's tomb, Mu Qin was holding a wine gourd. She had been hiding it for a long time, but she had never found an opportunity, or she had never let go of her grudges, to drink and get drunk with the swordsman.
Now she found her master, drank one mouthful after another, and murmured while holding the tombstone, saying that the road ahead was difficult, and she really didn't know where to go.
