Chapter 617 Where the Dao Fruit is
The records of Su Qianqiu in historical books are actually not very detailed. Mu Shu can tell the story in a leisurely and logical manner, but not every word is true, and it is mixed with many personal opinions and speculations.
In many aspects, there are not even direct records, but indirect records. If one reads ancient books extensively and understands major events of ancient and modern times, one can deduce them from the side. This is where Mu Shu's strength lies. Her breadth of knowledge is far beyond that of Li Changxiao. She can string together the scattered traces left over from ancient times, one bead at a time... like a jade string.
Li Changxiao completely agreed and felt that this was true. Most likely, Mu Patriarch was Su Qianqiu. He looked back at the Azure Ivy, and it was hard to imagine that he could guess Mu Patriarch's true identity based on this alone.
Mu Qi also agreed. He didn't study the ancient events in depth, but he had the ability to distinguish them. He said, "Since Patriarch Mu is the leader of the Dao Sect, then everything is clear. In this case, when we go to get the Dao Fruit, will we meet Patriarch Mu head-on?"
Mu Shu frowned, and was worried about this. Although Mu Lao Zu was trapped in the Heart-Searching Bridge, nothing is absolute in the world, and Mu Lao Zu is definitely not an ordinary person, how could he be trapped? He must have found a common way to get out, and the spiritual energy was exhausted, and the Heart-Searching Bridge was weakened. Maybe Mu Lao Zu had left the Heart-Searching Bridge and was hiding nearby?
Mu Shu paused as his thoughts raced through his mind. He said, "Since we're here, we should go and see if it's a blessing or a curse." Li Changxiao looked at Mu Shu, a little surprised that this woman, who was known for her cunningness, would throw her life away when she encountered something. He smiled and said, "Let's fight if we meet."
Last time he fought with Mu Lao Zu, he retreated halfway, firstly because he felt that the opponent was difficult to deal with, and secondly because he didn't want to show too much in front of Mu Shu. This woman has too many tricks, and sometimes she may be more difficult to deal with than Mu Lao Zu. Li Changxiao knew that if he met Mu Lao Zu, he would probably not be able to beat her, but throwing a few spells and running away would not be a big problem. The only loss was that he lost some face, but he never cared about reputation.
"We can really have a fight." Mu Shuhu's eyes flickered, and he was quite excited when he heard Li Changxiao's remarks.
Mu Shu said: "Grandmaster Mu used the teacher-student relationship to restrain us and prevent us from disobeying. He is actually a person who bullies his teacher and ancestors. He bullies his teacher and his disciples. If I were strong enough, I would really like to fight him."
Hearing her say this, Mu Qi also trembled, smiled leisurely, and was also ready to fight. After the disciples of the Mu family have a high level of cultivation, if they can make a name for themselves, most of them will leave the Mu family. It can be seen that the disciples of the Mu family have no sense of belonging to the Mu family, and they are mostly afraid of the Mu ancestor... and there is also resentment hidden under the fear.
It was their direct master who made them hate him and feel annoyed, but at the same time they were persecuted by their ancestor.
The three of them continued to move forward. Tao fruits were hung on the Azure Ivy. There were green, red, and white fruits. Some were gourd-shaped, and some were strip-shaped. Tao fruits had no substance, but if some means were used, they could be transformed into a shape and then grafted into the Azure Ivy, and they would never wither.
The seven emotions and six desires body seen before all had the manifestation of other people's great Dao. When Mu Shu noticed it, her face turned pale immediately, because she realized that Ancestor Mu was taking other people's Dao fruits and feeding them to his seven emotions and six desires body. Fortunately, Mu Shu did not feel the breath of her own Dao fruit in the seven emotions and six desires body.
As we walked deeper into the ground, the Azure Ivy grew deeper into the ground. Perhaps it was because of the numerous Dao fruits hanging there, or for some other reason, but the deeper we went, the more vigorous the Azure Ivy grew.
After walking about a hundred miles, the Azure Ivy ended here. There were 3,798 Dao Fruits on it. One Dao Fruit was the essence of a genius's lifelong practice. However, it was a heinous crime for Mu Patriarch to steal it. Li Changxiao sighed softly, recalling how hard it was to practice Dao, and gradually became angry. He really looked down on Mu Patriarch for stealing Dao Fruits, and he also understood why Li Xundao and the Divine Calculation Sect looked down on Mu Patriarch so much.
Patriarch Mu defected from Dao Sect and stole the Grinding Heart Stone and Azure Ivy. Afterwards, whenever Azure Ivy appeared, Patriarch Mu or the Mu Mansion would have someone go to fight for it. Therefore, there must be more than one Azure Ivy here.
As he went deeper, a thorny azure vine appeared before his eyes. The fruits of the Dao moved without wind, trapped in this dark place. In addition, Mu Shu was surprised to find that there were many large formations here, which could be connected with the giant stone maze formation outside.
Mu Shu said: "This Patriarch Mu is really scheming."
Li Changxiao and Mu Qi looked over immediately. Mu Shu said, "Look, the formation here is connected to the giant stone maze formation. If someone whose Dao fruit is stolen wants to kill them in the future, they will come back here to kill them. Once they break into the giant stone maze formation, the environment they feel will be caused by their Dao fruit..."
"Who can see through this illusion? If one can see through it, it means that one has completely denied his own great path, and his cultivation will be like a candle in the wind, which will be blown away. If one cannot see through it, he will be forever trapped in the illusion, unable to extricate himself."
Mu Shu secretly felt lucky that he did not force his way into this place. Mu Shu added, "Ancestor Mu was once defeated by the invincible mind that I cultivated. Now, if anyone wants to force their way in, they will be defeated by my Dao Fruit."
Although they were amazed at the vicious mind of Patriarch Mu, the search for Dao Fruit was a big deal and they could not delay, so the three of them continued to move deeper. The second Azure Ivy was enough to hang 1,400 Dao Fruits. Judging from the quality alone, these 1,400 Dao Fruits were better than the previous 3,798 Dao Fruits.
The further inward you go, the better the Dao fruits stored there are, because each Dao fruit is hanging. This place actually has a special Dao aura, with flashing lights everywhere, which is quite beautiful.
Li Changxiao thought that if the spiritual energy had not been exhausted, even a three or two-year-old child who accidentally stumbled into this place and casually picked a Dao fruit to eat for fun would be able to quickly improve his cultivation and walk the Dao Fruit Road again in the shortest time.
On the third vine, there are 457 Tao fruits hanging, each one is like a star, dazzling and bright. They should have bloomed in the sky, but they are buried deep underground and no one knows about it.
On the fourth vine, one hundred and twelve Tao fruits are hanging, reflecting the vitality of the Azure Ivy.
There were twenty-three Dao fruits in the fifth vine. The Dao was so profound... that it made Mu Shu and Mu Qi dizzy and their breathing quickened.
