Chapter 631: Shattered to Pieces
The fact that Mu Laozu's realm has fallen is mostly a guess by Mu Shu, and there is no real evidence, but Mu Shu is almost certain that this is true. Otherwise, how could she dare to easily set foot in the Great Heaven Realm. But if she said that, Mu Shu also knew that even the fortune tellers of the Divine Calculation Sect had endless things to calculate, and guesses were just guesses after all. If she guessed wrong, the risks and uncertainties of entering the Great Heaven Realm this time would greatly increase.
But in order to seek the fruit of the Tao, one or two risks, what can it count? What cultivators are good at is seeking safety in danger. Not only him, but Mu Qi also made plans to be buried here before entering the Great Heaven Realm.
Mu Shu deduced that the "one" that the Divine Calculation Sect missed or deliberately did not calculate can also be regarded as a variable. Mu Shu did not know how to calculate one, but she knew many ancient things in the Mu Mansion. She firmly believed that everything could be found in the most subtle places. She could not figure out the location of the "one" by just looking at the bridge of inquiry, but if she combined all the major and minor events covered by the Mu Mansion for many years, integrated all the clues, and then deduced them, with the assistance of Mu Qi.
It may not be impossible to find it. This is what Mu Shu is best at. This is different from the calculation, without any basis, or in other words, the only basis is Mu Shu's own subjective conjecture. If it were an ordinary person, he would think more and more biased, and finally waste his brainpower in vain without any gain. But Mu Shu could conjecture very accurately. The matter of picking the leaves of the tree king and going to the Yin and Yang Mountains to understand the giant stone maze array was also a method she had studied based on her own judgment and various clues in the history of the Mu Mansion.
After Li Changxiao took the Heaven and Earth Plate, he knew that the giant stone maze array was both an extension of the Heaven and Earth Plate and a maze array. It really contained the theory of yin and yang changes, and it just happened to match. But Mu Shu did not know in advance that under the giant stone maze array was the Heaven and Earth Plate, a device for controlling luck.
This intelligence has even transcended the word "intelligence". Mu Shu's eyes were bloodshot, white smoke came out of her head, and her face was a little red for some reason. It was not shyness, but she was overworking her brain and her blood was surging. Although she lay there without moving at all, at this moment, it was like fishing for a needle in a haystack.
Mu Shu's spiritual energy surged into her mind, making her clear-headed, and she continued to think hard. This went on for three days. Mu Qin had walked a thousand feet, and because most of the thick fog had dissipated, looking at the bridge from a distance, she looked so lonely and desolate, and her figure was so thin.
She staggered, and the clothes on her chest were stained red. The end of the whisk in her hand, with several strands of silver threads, was stained with a little dry blood.
...
Mu Shu suddenly opened her eyes, and she had a guess in her mind. She saw that the bridge was thousands of feet long and the river below was rushing. She whispered in Mu Qi's ear. After a while, Mu Qi began to lay out the plan.
Mu Shu's method was simple. She guessed that the Heart-to-Heart Bridge was more than ten thousand feet long, which was too long. The material of the Heart-to-Heart Bridge was special, and it was extremely rare in the heyday.
Mu Shu also thought that the Divine Calculation Sect always emphasized "one thing for one thing", never taking advantage of others, and abiding by the word "equivalence". The siege of Mu Laozu was the initiative of the Divine Calculation Sect, but it should also be in line with the Divine Calculation Sect's code of conduct. The energy and financial resources used to deal with Mu Laozu were equal to the benefits obtained from it. This is the Divine Calculation Sect's way to reduce karma and disasters. Because the fortune teller has a short life, if he seeks wealth by calculating the secrets of heaven, he will inevitably die early. Therefore, every time the fortune teller of the Divine Calculation Sect calculates, he does not seek benefits for himself.
Speaking of which, Mu Laozu had no hatred with the Divine Calculation Sect at the beginning. Mu Shu looked back at the actual situation at that time and found that before the Shensuan Sect besieged the Mu Mansion, it accidentally made a fortune. It was a real "windfall", not a windfall from robbery, but a windfall from "pie in the sky". There is a star in the sky, hanging near the Shensuan Sect.
The Shensuan Sect dug out a lot of rare materials from that star. There is no material on it to build the Heart-Questioning Bridge. However, Mu Shu concluded that the Shensuan Sect's motive for besieging Mu Laozu must be related to the "windfall".
The Shensuan Sect does not accept favors from people, let alone the grace of heaven. Since they have made a windfall, they must do things for the world and spread the windfall. Otherwise, it would violate the principles of the Shensuan Sect. The fortune tellers are fortune tellers... Only when they are light, without money and treasures, can they calculate the secrets of heaven more accurately and get away with it. As luck would have it, at this time, Mu Laozu was aggressive and wanted to force Li Xundao to become a saint. The Divine Calculation Sect showed Li Xundao that he was the one who was destined to be robbed, which was beneficial to the people of the world. Although it was shameful for Mu Laozu to steal the Dao fruit, the Divine Calculation Sect was too lazy to care. But this matter could not be ignored.
So there was a plan to trap Mu Laozu.
Therefore, the price paid for trapping Mu Laozu should be equivalent to that star, but according to Mu Shu's estimation, the price of that star is far less valuable than the ten thousand feet long bridge of inquiry.
If estimated by price, the material inside that star is extremely precious, but it can only be exchanged for the material of the seven thousand feet long bridge of inquiry.
So she said, "Only 7,000 feet of this ten-thousand-foot bridge of inquiry is real, and 3,000 feet is virtual. However, the design of the Divine Calculation Sect is so ingenious that the virtual and real bridges are seamlessly connected. The virtual contains the real, and the real contains the virtual. They are one and the same. They also have the effect of inquiry, making it difficult for people to distinguish them."
"But there are always a few places where the virtual and the real cannot be completely integrated. The 400-foot, 700-foot, and 1,300-foot places are pure virtual bridges."
But at this moment, Mu Qin had walked more than 1,000 feet, and only the last virtual bridge remained.
Mu Shu said again, "When Senior Sister reaches the virtual bridge, you just need to let her jump into the water, and she can leave the bridge of inquiry, or reach the other side directly."
Seeing that Mu Qin was getting closer and closer to the virtual bridge, the two took action. Mu Qi used the world in chess to transmit his speculation to Mu Qin's ears with the secret art of sound transmission.
But in the Heart-to-Heart Bridge, it seemed as if there was some special power that intercepted the sound transmission layer by layer, so that the two did not know whether Mu Qin heard it or not.
When Mu Qin walked to 1,300 feet, she suddenly stopped. The two breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that she heard it. Mu Qin looked down at the rushing water and murmured: "If you jump down from here, you can..."
At this moment, she was already pale and weak, and her Taoism was like a candle in the wind, shaky.
After hesitating for a moment, she took another step and walked deeper.
Mu Shu cursed: "Stubborn donkey, stubborn donkey!" But after a few breaths, he stopped again. She naturally hoped that Mu Qin would show her kindness, but she also knew that this was Mu Qin.
Mu Shu sighed, "We seek the truth for the sake of seeking the truth, and Senior Sister only seeks the truth. That's all. She will eventually die on the Bridge of Inquiry, and no one can save her."
Mu Shu's eyes were dim, and he didn't know where he was thinking. He looked at the figure from afar and thought to himself, "Do you have to be torn to pieces before you are satisfied?"
