Chapter 609: The Lake of the Next Life, Seeing Fortune and Disaster, Suppressing the Seven Emotions
Mu Shu naturally had difficulty perceiving the two auras of good and bad luck, but coincidentally, when Li Changxiao was looking for someone with good and bad luck that day, he happened to pass by a lake, which was called "Last Life Lake".
Although it was named "Last Life", it could not see the next life or the previous life, but could only see the good and bad luck of people. Just look down at the lake and see the reflection in the lake, and you can see whether a person is blessed or miserable.
Curiosity-stricken, Mu Shu looked into the lake and was shocked, unable to believe what she saw. The reflection of Li Changxiao in the lake was beyond description.
She had never seen a person who was so blessed and miserable at the same time. Li Changxiao also noticed it, so he walked closer to the lake and took a look, gently touching the surface of the lake with his fingers, but saw the next moment.
The lake water split into two colors, one side was golden and dazzling, and the other side was dark and evil. The lake water surged and hit each other, splashing water, and finally Li Changxiao shook his hand lightly, and everything was calmed down again.
Mu Shu asked, "Can you control fortune and misfortune?" Without waiting for Li Changxiao to answer, she stepped back in fear, wondering about Li Changxiao's origins. She felt as if her head was about to split open. Looking at what she had known in her life, it was difficult to explain what she had just seen.
She had always been smart and calm, but she had never heard of this. This lake of the next life could observe people's fortune and misfortune. Since its existence, it had been a must-go place for disciples of the Mu Mansion when they entered the sect.
Some people may have poor talents, but they have a wide source of fortune, and they can also be cultivated with emphasis. Mu Shu had been in the Mu Mansion for many years, and the people with the most fortune and misfortune were just wrapped in a thin golden or black gas. Even so, people with a rich source of fortune had constant adventures, and their cultivation was flourishing, which was enviable. People who were plagued by disasters had constant hardships when they went out to practice, and everything went wrong. They died within ten years.
Although there was no fixed number for fortune and misfortune, it was also a mysterious thing in the eyes of the great monks. But seeing the scene of great fortune and disaster, Mu Shu was still shocked and trembling. Li Changxiao found it funny to see her frightened and unable to stand steadily. He also thought of the previous encounters. This woman had ulterior motives and bad intentions. She always thought she was smart and looked down upon by everyone. So he thought of taking this opportunity to scare her again.
Immediately, the aura of fortune and disaster that was entangled with her was no longer deliberately restrained, and it was allowed to flow naturally. In an instant, the wind and clouds surged, and the space around Li Changxiao was distorted. The gold and black colors were so rich that they almost revealed their true form, and the entire Great Heaven Realm began to shake with it.
The Lake of the Next Life was more than boiling. In just a moment, it completely evaporated and dried up, and the lake surface dropped inch by inch, leaving only a bottomless deep pool. Li Changxiao pretended to be threatening and said, "If you talk nonsense, I will give you this ball of black air."
After that, he spread out his right hand, and the black air overflowed from his palm and turned into a black ball, which was condensed by the disaster. This ball of black air hung from the palm of his hand. To Li Changxiao, it seemed to be there and not there, and it was insignificant. But if it was placed on other people, it would be an endless disaster. If there is reincarnation in the world, it will continue to last until the future.
Mu Shu rolled his eyes and fainted immediately, but he was not "scared" to faint. Speaking of this matter, there is actually another way. Just like Mu Qi's chess path, Mu Shu's path is "all-knowing", aiming to know everything in the world. All things in the world, big or small, are in one heart. When the things he encountered were too beyond common sense, they were inconsistent with "all-knowing", and coupled with the fist poison in his body, Mu Shu fainted for a while.
Li Changxiao was stunned and quickly restrained the disaster. He did not deliberately suppress and restrain, but he did not release it intentionally. It was just naturally revealed for less than a moment, but it frightened Mu Shu to faint. Sometimes he is playful, easy to throw, and even a little bit treacherous. All his close friends have experienced this.
After a long while, Mu Shu woke up and recalled the scene just now. He thought: "This person is too weird, too weird. Since ancient times, blessings and disasters are invisible. Even if they can be accumulated through preaching, evangelism, and doing good deeds, they are also very small. But the blessings and disasters of this person are probably not as good as the whole world, or even several worlds combined."
He thought again: "If he is from the Mu Mansion, I am afraid that the fruits of his Taoism will be avoided by even the Mu Ancestor. Blessings and disasters are endless. Alas, whether this is good or bad, it is hard to say, but he can control blessings and disasters, and I think it is mostly good things. That's it, why think about these things, just don't mess with him."
Mu Shu was not convenient to ask. After all, she had an extraordinary mind and had experienced life and death. How could she really be "scared to death"? She quickly recovered her composure, but she couldn't hide her curiosity and wanted to observe her senior sister's lover.
After the commotion just now, the lake water had disappeared, leaving only a dark deep pit. Li Changxiao jumped straight in.
Mu Shu lay on the edge of the lake. She was now poisoned by the fist, and her body was paralyzed and inconvenient to move. She could walk and jump normally, but if a warrior came to test her sword skills, she would not be able to do the delicate movements.
Her spiritual energy was paralyzed and she couldn't use it at all. If she fell to the bottom of the lake, she would definitely fall to death. Thinking of the swordsman at the bottom of the lake, it was still unknown whether he was willing to help, and she felt sad. So she didn't care about her image at all. She chose to lower her body, lie on the lakeside and stick her head out to look down. Her hair hung by her ears. She stretched her neck and tried to look hard, but she could hardly see anything inside. Instead, she could hear footsteps coming from the bottom of the lake and the sound of the scabbard hitting the wall.
Mu Shu frowned and thought, and suddenly thought of something, and said to herself: "Next Life Lake, Next Life Lake, Next Life Lake, Next Life Lake, the lake contains the next life, Next Life Lake, Next Life Lake, the lake suppresses the six desires, Next Life Lake, Next Life Lake, the lake suppresses the seven emotions, Next Life Lake, Next Life Lake, the lake sees disasters and blessings."
This was originally a ballad about Next Life Lake, and all the disciples of the Mu Mansion could hum a few lines, but now thinking back, the feeling suddenly changed. In addition, Mu Shu knew the secrets, and immediately connected it with a certain rumor, and his expression changed instantly.
Just as he was about to shout, it was too late. He saw the ground shaking and Li Changxiao flew out from the bottom of the lake. He grabbed Mu Shu with one hand, and before she could speak, he tapped the ground with his toes and flew backwards for dozens of feet, looking at the location of the Lake of the Next Life with a frown.
A few seconds later, eight figures crawled out of the lake one after another. They looked the same, but their expressions, demeanor, and temperaments were slightly different.
Mu Shu said: "If I am not mistaken, the seven emotions of joy, anger, sorrow, fear, hatred, love, and desire are each one person, and the six desires are also one person, a total of eight people."
Li Changxiao observed from the other side of the river and asked: "Why does the Great Heaven Realm hide these things?"
Mu Shu said: "That is related to other rumors. Now is not the time to explain. You'd better try to kill them, otherwise they may become an obstacle to our search for the Dao fruit."
Li Changxiao was not vague. He pinched the sword formula with his hand, and Qingping was unsheathed, and he fought eight people alone. But the eight people had the same appearance and figure, all with white hair and haggard faces. As the two sides were fighting, Mu Shu observed intently. She had a photographic memory since she was a child, and could recognize most people in the Mu Mansion, but she had never seen this person. The ancestor of the Mu Mansion rarely showed up, or even never showed up.
After thinking about it, the appearance of these eight people might have come from the ancestor of the Mu Mansion.
