Chapter 615: The Origin of Mu Laozu, the Former Leader of Dao Sect
After Mu Shu landed, Mu Qi thought, "Mu Shu was poisoned by her fist, and she has no skills to use. She jumped straight down without any harm, so if I jump down, I will be fine too."
Then he jumped lightly and jumped into the cave. The cave was pitch black. As he fell, the wind blew across his face and his hair flew. The cave was not very deep to the naked eye, but he did not land for a long time.
Mu Qi was not a fool. He knew there was another way to get out of this pit. If he didn't deal with it, he might really fall to his death! He was getting nervous and preparing to mobilize his spiritual energy to fly into the air. Suddenly, a breeze blew gently from the bottom to the top, turning into an invisible force to support him, making his body as light as a feather. Mu Qi then understood why Mu Shu was fine. It turned out that this breeze was also supporting him.
Mu Qi thought, "Although it's a small matter, this person is willing to help me. After all, I have no grudge against him. I think this person has an open mind and is someone I can really make friends with. Well, forget it. I, Mu Qi, have a broad mind and will not be bound by hatred. Let's just let go of the unhappiness."
He had this feeling not because it suddenly changed overnight, but because he had been with Li Changxiao for a long time and saw that his way of dealing with people was commendable and had his own style, so he had long admired him.
Mu Qi stood firm on his toes, looked around, and saw Li Changxiao and Mu Shu beside him. He bowed to Li Changxiao and thanked him, but Li Changxiao smiled and waved his hand, indicating that you're welcome.
It was pitch black all around, but not the darkest black. All three of them were monks, so night vision was not difficult. But here, even if they concentrated, they could only see about three feet in front of them. Beyond that, it was pitch black, like a black curtain that tightly wrapped around them and blocked their vision.
Mu Shu lay on the ground, brushed off the dust, stared at the lines on the ground, sweat dripping down his face, and said, "It was dangerous. This cave is called Ya Wanzhang, and it is something like a luck suppressing device. There are several advanced formations engraved on the bottom, including the spirit-banning, weight-reinforcing, and other formations. Fortunately, the formation failed, otherwise we would have been caught off guard and fallen to our death."
Mu Qi was also terrified after hearing this. It seemed that there were still many difficulties and obstacles ahead. He looked up and followed the cave. With the naked eye or magic, the cave was not very deep, but once you jump into it, it is like falling into a bottomless cliff. When the spiritual energy is not exhausted, the cultivator can resist it in the air, but there is a large formation carved at the bottom of the cave. If the formation is functioning normally, most of the people who break into the cave will be smashed to pieces.
Fortunately, the formation here had completely lost its effectiveness five hundred years ago. The three of them calmed down and explored deeper together. Along the way, they saw many formation patterns, all of which were extremely high-level formations. It can be seen that the defenses here are tight and astonishing. In the heyday, there were no more than ten people who were able to force their way into this place.
After passing through several narrow passages, he saw a vine hanging on the wall, with gourds of various colors hanging on the vine, emitting a unique halo. Mu Shu was overjoyed, this was where the Dao fruit was. The Mu Mansion had been established for countless years, and countless Dao fruits had been stolen, some good and some bad, so they could not all be generalized.
"This vine is the Azure Vine. The ancestor actually used this vine to preserve the fruit of the Tao. It's really a wonderful idea." Mu Shu said in a trance. She remembered that one of the tasks assigned by the Mu Mansion in the old days was to find the Azure Vine.
This vine grows in the sky and can be called a "divine object". If it is used to forge a magical tool, it has infinite uses and is an extremely rare object. Throughout history, the number of times that the Azure Ivy has appeared is very few. Every time it appears, there are many historical records, and the strong people from all sides compete for it, which is very exciting.
Mu Shu and his group of Mu Mansion disciples were fortunate enough to participate in one of them. The Azure Ivy that time came from the edge of Kunlun World and hung down from the sky. It was about ten thousand feet long. Countless powerful men coveted it, and even one of the Ten Evils in the prehistoric world was fond of this vine.
At that time, the human race worked together to fight back and repelled one of the Ten Evils of the Primordial Era. However, the Ten Evils were too powerful. They killed several powerful warriors and cut off more than a thousand feet of Azure Ivy. They escaped unscathed, which was a great shame for the human race.
After several battles for the Azure Ivy, many forces gained something. The Mu Mansion got a piece of it that was over a hundred feet long. After it was handed over to the Mu Mansion, it disappeared. Mu Shu clapped her hands. She should have thought of this earlier. Azure Ivy was so precious. After taking it back with so much difficulty, how could they do nothing?
This was the last time that the Azure Ivy appeared. Mu Shu told everyone that perhaps she knew the identity of the Mu Patriarch before he established the Mu Mansion. Mu Shu added: "Throughout history, the Azure Ivy has only appeared twelve times, five times in the ancient times and seven times in the heyday. The Mu Mansion was founded very early, before the heyday."
"Old Ancestor Mu's attempt to steal the Dao had already begun quietly since the founding of the Mu Mansion. Therefore, long before that, the Mu clan already had the Azure Ivy, which was used to store and nourish the Dao Fruits of others. One of the contenders for the Azure Ivy in the first five times must have been Old Ancestor Mu's true body."
Mu Shu is well-read and can do more than offer advice and popularize knowledge. If she is kind-hearted, there will be many people who are willing to go with her. She can avoid many dangers in time and understand the key points in advance. Li Changxiao and Mu Qi are also smart people, but they are smart in different ways. Li Changxiao is smart in surviving and protecting himself, which is tempered by many years of weak experience. Therefore, if Mu Shu wants to harm him, it will be difficult. Instead, he will be countered by Li Changxiao and pay a heavy price. Mu Qi is smart in studying and dealing with enemies, and in the way of chess. In many places, he is a little dull, but he is still a rare smart person.
Mu Shu recalled the historical data and said, "The first three times when Azure Ivy appeared were too far away. Even Patriarch Mu might not have been born at that time. The fourth time Azure Ivy appeared, it was intercepted by the prehistoric beasts, and the human race got only half an inch. Therefore... Patriarch Mu must have been the contender for the fifth time, or he must have a close relationship with the fifth contender."
Mu Shu made another inference, locking onto the ancestor's true self step by step, "If the fifth contestants are divided by factions, there are probably more than a hundred Taoist forces, but the final beneficiaries are only seven or eight people, namely Zhang Kuiyi, the leader of the Taoist sect at that time, Chi Qian of the Snow Sect, Wan Ji Buddha of the Baixiang Temple, and Liu Qiyi of the Wu Sect."
"I infer... that Patriarch Mu must have a very deep connection with these four people." Mu Shu murmured. In fact, the beneficiaries of that fight were not only these four people, but also many strong men who won ten feet or half a foot. But Mu Shu ruled it out first, thinking that the possibility was not high.
Li Changxiao pinched his chin, walked to the edge of the Azure Ivy, and gently touched it with his fingers. It felt soft and slightly cool, and still retained great vitality. The Azure Ivy must be alive.
He said: "Ancestor Mu should have a close relationship with Zhang Kuiyi, right?"
"Yes, I speculate that Ancestor Mu is Zhang Kuiyi's disciple." Mu Shu asserted, making shocking statements.
