Chapter 890: The Missed Turn (I)
After a whirlwind, Shi Mu suddenly opened his eyes and found that he had returned to the secret cave. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
He looked at the front in a little stunned, although he had returned to reality, but after experiencing everything in the illusion, he was still in a trance, and his mood could not be calm for a long time.
Shi Mu shook his head, exhaled lightly, calmed down, and then looked around, his eyebrows raised slightly.
Everything else in the cave remained unchanged, as if many years had passed in the illusion, but in reality it was only a moment in the past.
However, the figure of the White Ape Ancestor disappeared without a trace.
Shi Mu's brows furrowed, his eyes full of confusion.
Until this moment, he still didn't understand, what was the meaning of the illusion just now?
He had originally planned to inquire about the White Ape Ancestor, but he knew that it had suddenly disappeared.
Shi Mu groaned slightly, thought about it again for a moment, but still had no clue, then shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
He searched the situation in his body with his divine sense, and his face was stunned, and then he showed great joy.
Unconsciously, the true qi in his body has improved a lot, but these true qi are circulating endlessly in his body, constantly impacting all parts of his body, which is obviously a little unstable.
Shi Mu took a deep breath, urged his heart, and started the exercises.
Rumble!
As soon as he ran the exercises, the true qi in the hundreds of bones in his limbs immediately flowed on its own, surging towards the spiritual sea, faintly condensing.
Shi Mu was happy in his heart, this was a sign that he was beginning to impact the Divine Realm!
He hurriedly closed his eyes and ran the exercises, and the dazzling light lit up, enveloping his body inside, and the entire inside of the cave was illuminated as if it were day.
Time passed little by little, a full half a day passed, and the light on Shi Mu's body slowly dimmed, and finally disappeared without a trace.
He opened his eyes, but there was a look of loss in his eyes.
This time the impact on the Divine Realm ended in failure.
Shi Mu sighed and looked at the box in front of him, there were still six half-moon divine fruits lying quietly in it, and his spirit was suddenly shocked.
"The bottleneck of the Divine Realm, it is really not so easy to break through, but fortunately, there are still six Half-Moon Divine Fruits here. ”
He muttered to himself with some self-deprecation, then reached over and picked up the second Luna Fruit.
The moment the teeth broke through the peel, a cool juice suddenly overflowed his teeth and cheeks, and Shi Mu only felt a mist in his consciousness, and soon sank into it in a strange aroma.
......
After a while, Shi Mu's eyes opened slowly, and his body moved slightly, but he found that there was an emptiness everywhere his hands and feet, and at this moment he was floating in the air like a spirit.
With the first experience, his current situation is no longer uncomfortable.
Below him was a wooded garden, which seemed a little lonely under the dark and moonless night.
Glancing around, I found that the surroundings were full of shrubs and trees, and the environment was very quiet, except for the occasional low insect chirping, I could not hear any other sound.
"Hoo ......"
A gust of wind rose, blowing a bush of plantains swaying from side to side, and Shi Mu, who was floating in mid-air, couldn't help but feel a trace of coolness.
His gaze wandered through the garden for a moment, and a trace of doubt rose in his heart, and he felt that the environment seemed somewhat familiar.
What the hell is this place?
Shi Mu was trying to remember, when he suddenly heard a faint voice coming from the other side of the garden.
When he followed the prestige, he saw a large building there, and the warm yellow light was shining inside, and it was from there that the sound of the squirming was heard.
Shi Mu swung his arms, floated around, and drifted towards the building.
Coming to the front of the palace gate, Shi Mu felt a trace of obvious warmth, floating on the top of the hall gate, looking down at the hall.
I saw a round sandalwood table in it, and a pair of young men and women were sitting opposite each other, holding each other's teacups and talking to each other.
The girl's skin was better than snow, her face was delicate, and under her white dress she was wearing a pair of golden lotus bare feet, and the two strings of bells on it rang softly from time to time with her slight movements.
"Ximen Xue......" Shi Mu was stunned for a moment.
He froze his mind, and as soon as his gaze moved again, he saw that opposite Ximen Xue was sitting a sturdy young man with sword eyebrows and sparse eyebrows, but it was himself.
It's just that he, although the contours of his facial features are roughly similar to his current self, but he looks a little more green between his eyebrows, and his expression is a little unnatural.
"It's ...... Before the Ascension Conference. Shi Mu then suddenly muttered to himself.
While he was thinking about it, he heard that young man Shi Muzheng was looking at Ximen Xue with affectionate eyes, and said, "Senior Sister Xue, I like you. ”
“...... You still forget me, forget about the things of the year, this immortal promotion ceremony, I am determined to win. Ximen Xue was silent for a moment, and then opened her mouth faintly.
This was exactly when he met Ximen Xue before the Immortal Ascension Conference that day, and Shi Mu still remembered the conversation between the two that day.
He floated into the room and looked at the two men in the living room who had fallen silent.
"Senior Sister Xue, after seeing you this time, will we have a chance to meet in the future?"
Suddenly, the young man Shi Mu said this.
Shi Mu looked at himself at that time, and sighed in his heart, he still remembered Ximen Xue's answer, and he also knew that he was not enough to leave Ximen Xue at that time.
It's just that he doesn't understand why taking the Luna God Fruit will bring him back here?
Shi Mu looked at Ximen Xue's beautiful face, and couldn't help but recall the scene when the two met for the first time in the forest, and remembered the oath he had made at that time, and couldn't help but feel a trance in his heart.
Was it really right to let her ascend to immortality and leave?
The young Shi Mu and Ximen Xue continued to talk, and the voice of each word came into Shi Mu's ears, and it became a little illusory.
Gradually, he couldn't hear the words of the two anymore, and the voice just echoed in his mind repeatedly:
"Was it really right to let her ascend to immortality and leave?"
"Is that really right?"
......
"Shi Mu, thank you. Let's go to the garden for a walk, you have just entered the innate realm not long ago, if there is anything you want to ask about your cultivation, I can help you answer a question or two. You don't know yet, Senior Sister, I am actually a dual martial arts cultivator. Ximen Xue put down the teacup in her hand and stood up.
Hearing this sound, Shi Mu suddenly came back to his senses and looked down.
I saw that I had already walked out of the temple gate with Ximen Xue and walked out.
Shi Mu was short, and then flew out of the temple gate and followed.
I saw the two of them turn the winding path carefully manicured in the garden, and walk slowly through the bushes.
"Senior Sister Xue, can you tell me why you have to participate in the Immortal Ascension Conference?" asked the young Shi Mu.
After hearing this, Ximen Xue's face was slightly strange, and she was silent for a long time before she spoke: "Shi Mu, have you ever felt that your life is not in me, and you can't help yourself?"
After hearing this, the young Shi Mu fell silent.
Shi Mu floated above the heads of the two of them, but he couldn't help but fall into thought.
Starting from the remote fishing village of the Great Qi Kingdom, along the way, although Shi Mu failed to do everything as he wanted, every step he took was his own choice, although there were many regrets and helplessness, but it seemed that there was never a time when he was completely unable to grasp it.
"Nope. Young Shi Mu shook his head and said.
"My hometown is north of the Kunlan Mountain in the Great Qin Kingdom, and since I was born, I have no father or mother, and I was raised by my uncle and aunt. When I was seven years old, they sold me to a theatre troupe to work as a handyman. I wandered all the way in the Great Qin Kingdom with the opera troupe, doing the dirtiest and most tiring work, eating the least and worst meals, always being careful, and not daring to get sick at all. Because once I get sick, I will be abandoned by the troupe, and they won't waste money to treat me. Despite this, after arriving in the territory of the Great Qi Kingdom, I unexpectedly had a serious illness. When I was dying, I was thrown by the troupe owner and waited for death. Fortunately, I met my master at that time, she saved me, took me back to the sect, and taught me magic, so I have the current Tianyin Maiden. Ximen Xue told her past experience in a few words, although her expression was indifferent, Shi Mu knew very well that behind this was countless hardships and sufferings.
It was precisely because he was able to understand these that Shi Mu did not insist on preventing Ximen Xue from participating in the Immortal Ascension Conference.
The young Shi Mu opened his mouth, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't say anything.
"Although I was only ten years old at that time, I also understood that if I wanted to control my own destiny and no longer be abandoned, I had to become a strong person who could control my own destiny. Moreover, Master's long-cherished wish of her old man is to be able to fly to the fairy world and see the scenery from higher places, and I have the responsibility to complete it for her. Ximen Xue continued.
"Senior Sister Xue, I understand. Young Shi Mu said in a low voice.
So the two stopped talking and walked side by side in silence.
"Let's go"
A raindrop fell from the lead cloud of the night and smashed on the forehead of the young Shi Mu, splashing a crystal splash.
Immediately afterward, the sound of "rustling" became louder and louder, and a light rain obscured the entire sky.
Shi Mu floated in mid-air, and ten thousand crystal rain lines passed through him, but he didn't feel the slightest feeling, just lowered his head and looked at the two people under him.
The two walked slowly in the light rain, did not use magic to avoid the rain, nor did they leave quickly, but maintained their original pace and walked slowly in the garden.
Half an hour later, the two came to the gate of the garden.
Ximen Xue's white clothes were completely attached to her body, which made her body even more undulating.
"After listening to Senior Sister's words today, I really benefited a lot, Senior Sister really deserves to be the genius of my Three Kingdoms and Seven Sects. The young Shi Mu said these words, but his eyes were avoiding Ximen Xue's body intentionally or unintentionally.
Ximen Xue also noticed his embarrassment, but she didn't care much, she just said: "Shi Mu, you are too modest, when the senior sister is about the same age as you, she will definitely not be able to escape in front of the earth-level martial artists." ”
Shi Mu floated above the two of them, looking at the two of them with a tight brow, a trace of complexity appeared on his face.
He knew that the time of separation had come.
"Senior Sister Xue stays, I hope that Senior Sister will advance to the Heavenly Rank as soon as possible. Finally, the young Shi Mu still said this.
"Shi Mu, goodbye...... Don't forget what you promised me. Ximen Xue swept the hair hanging down from her forehead and said with a smile.
Shi Mu looked down at Ximen Xue from above, and when he saw her smile, his heart ached inexplicably.
He knew that the so-called Immortal Ascension Conference was a complete conspiracy, and once Ximen Xue ascended to Immortal, he would have stepped into the command of Heavenly Court, and although the two of them were getting closer and closer in the future, there would be some intersections, but they would inevitably contradict each other and go farther and farther away.
