Chapter 605: Mu Shu is arrested and controlled by others
After all, monks are different from ordinary people. Even if they have sealed their spirits, bodies, and gods, their daily lives are no different from ordinary people. They need to eat, drink water, and feel tired and sleepy. However, they still have qualities that ordinary people cannot match, such as great strength, physical strength, immunity to all diseases, and strong recovery ability.
A powerful cultivator who has a deep understanding of the principles of heaven and earth can manipulate the wind and clouds with his mortal body without consuming spiritual energy. Mei Sanniang had demonstrated to Li Changxiao that she could pluck many cloud roots of all sizes with just a flick of her hand without consuming spiritual energy.
Mu Qin can do it too. She can calm the chaotic sea temporarily with the essence of pointing to the sky, but she rarely uses it because pointing to the sky is not a magic trick, but a first-class... or in other words, the best killing technique in the world. In terms of magic, it is far inferior to the palm of the hand, but in terms of deterrence and reputation, the cultivator of pointing to the sky can walk sideways, no one dares to provoke easily, and no one dares to get into trouble.
Both the cultivators pointing to the sky in the Refinement Stage and the cultivators in the Fusion Stage need to be friendly and amicable. Looking at the distant history of Fuyao, the swan song of Pointing to the Sky is when a cultivator in the Refinement Stage killed a prehistoric beast equivalent to one in the Fusion Stage by pointing to the sky.
Since then, Zhitian has been completely lost. In fact, it had already begun to decline before it was lost, otherwise how could Zhitian cultivators only have the cultivation level of Lianxu? But that incident happened too long ago and there is no way to trace it back. It is difficult to distinguish the truth from the false.
In fact, it is not certain whether Mu Qin Mu Da Xian Chang has completely mastered the Sky Fingering Technique. So far, she has never been seen to fully display it. Most people do not believe it, while the majority believe it. But even so, before the spiritual energy was exhausted, Mu Da Xian Chang was rampant and almost the most lethal of his generation.
Mu Shu lay flat on the ground. After a night's rest, his ankle began to itch and the wound was healing. The next day he could walk on his own without the help of crutches.
But her steps were still staggering, and she was not walking fast. She had not eaten for several days, and she had sealed herself as a spirit body god. Her physical strength had been overdrawn, and she was thirsty and hungry. She needed to go out to find food. She thought to herself: "My senior sister's lover should have left. If I go out now, I won't fall into his hands." When she walked out of the cave, the breeze blew on her face, sweeping away the stuffiness of several days. She sniffed hard, and the mountain breeze smelled sweet, which made her linger.
Out of caution, she did not walk far. She found a spring near the cave, tilted her head and drank a few sips. Then she saw pheasants playing in the woods. She bent down, picked up a stone, and shot it with her finger, hitting it right in the head.
In less than half an hour, she caught two pheasants, collected some firewood, and returned to the hidden cave. She made a fire and boiled water, but she was at a loss as to how to eat the chicken. After thinking it over, she simply threw the chicken into the fire, waited until it was charred, and then peeled off the skin and ate the intact meat inside.
"Give me one." Suddenly a voice came from the right ear.
Mu Shu didn't notice anything strange and said sarcastically, "I called myself, why should I give it to you? If you want to eat it, go find it yourself."
She was not a kind person, and she would never do business at a loss. She didn't want to let anyone take advantage of her. It was a natural reaction. But after she said that, she realized something was wrong and her neck stiffened.
She slowly turned her head and saw a man sitting on the right side, looking at her with interest. Her fantasy was shattered, and she smiled bitterly, thinking, "I really can't escape." She was also inexplicably annoyed. She had lived in the cave for several days, and this thief must have deliberately not come out to tease her.
In fact, she misunderstood Li Changxiao. The reason why Li Changxiao did not go out in the past few days was that he had other important things to do. What Mu Shu said before his death did attract Li Changxiao's attention. He deliberately delayed taking action because he wanted to use Hong Qian's hand to consume Mu Shu's spiritual energy as much as possible.
After all, they were enemies, not friends. However, he did not expect that Hong Qian secretly used poison, and the situation suddenly became one-sided. Without forcing Mu Shu to use much spiritual energy, she was already in a state of death. If Li Changxiao did not take action, Mu Shu would definitely die. This attracted Hong Qian's attention and confronted Hong Qian head-on.
After Hong Qian's death, Li Changxiao was going to look for Mu Shu, but something unexpected happened. He found that there were monks entering one after another. Li Changxiao secretly observed for several days, and then he remembered that Mu Shu had escaped, so he hurried over. It was not difficult to find Mu Shu. With a light sweep of his spiritual consciousness, he would know where he was. Therefore, Mu Shu had escaped for several days and lived in a cave, thinking that he was safe, but it was just wishful thinking.
Now that she was in Li Changxiao's hands, Mu Shu felt relieved. She was ready to throw in the towel. She said, "Forget it. I won't resist. You can do whatever you want."
Li Changxiao naturally wanted to ask about the Taoist fruit. Although he felt that Mu Shu's mention of Mu Qin's Taoist fruit was mostly alarmist, it should not be groundless. He was curious and did not want to miss it.
Mu Shu rolled his eyes, but a long sword was placed across his neck. "If you tell a lie, I won't hold back."
Mu Shu spat, "You spoke sweet words to my senior sister, and you were affectionate with me, but you held a sword against me."
Being controlled by others, Mu Shu was afraid of Li Changxiao. After thinking for a while, he told the truth: "Master has a close relationship with Grandmaster Mu. He has done many secret things for Grandmaster. He has cultivated disciples in Mu Mansion and helped them become wealthy. He has invested countless energy in this period. When disciples of Mu Mansion want to leave Mu Mansion and seek other opportunities, he often helps Mu Mansion complete three things."
"Senior sister didn't tell you these three things?" Mu Shu asked.
Li Changxiao put away his sword and sat down nearby. "I mentioned the first two things, but not the third one."
Mu Shu's eyes lit up immediately, and he asked with his chin propped up, "Aren't you my senior sister's lover? How come she didn't even tell you about such a big thing?"
Li Chang smiled and said, "What mistress? We have a clean relationship." Li Changxiao stared at the bright fire, following the flickering flames. Even for him, there were things he didn't want to distinguish or clarify.
"Then how about you look at me?" Mu Shu blurted out, washing his face with water, but thinking in his heart: "Senior sister must be reserved and dare not speak out. I don't believe that Senior Sister has a clear mind. Since the two of them are really together, how can I not avenge my original hatred if I intervene?"
Li Changxiao was too lazy to respond, and just said, "Let's talk business. I saved your life and I'm indebted to you. You better be honest. I heard from your sister that you are as cunning as a fox. If I meet you, I can only believe one out of ten words. But if you tell me a lie, I will stab you with my sword."
Although the words were lazy, they did not sound false. Mu Shu felt aggrieved and angry, but he could do nothing to the other party. Mu Shu felt like he was on edge and thought that the swordsman would probably keep his word.
She had a lot of complicated thoughts in her mind. Although Li Changxiao saved her, she had no gratitude. Instead, she wanted to make a big deal out of it and secretly harm Li Changxiao. With her wisdom and plan, as well as her knowledge of secrets, she might be able to turn the danger into safety and capture the swordsman.
However, the first meeting was very difficult. Mu Shu, who was always telling lies, did not dare to lie for a while. How could she know that Li Changxiao, who was good at making up lies, was very sensitive to lies. It seemed that she had a lot of opportunities to maneuver, but in fact, she had no room to struggle.
