Chapter 6 The Great Contest 1
Not long after the Spirit of Determination disappeared, the little bell came, and seeing Xiao Mu looking into the distance and pondering, he walked over and sat down next to him: "What are you thinking?" β
"Little Bell, do you want to participate in the big competition?" Xiao Mu still looked into the distance.
The little bell picked up a stone and threw it into the river: "I don't want to! β
Xiao Mu was stunned: "Why?" β
"Uncle Xiao said before that our cultivation is not to compete with others!"
"Then what are you cultivating for?" Xiao Mu asked again.
Little Bell thought for a while and said, "When my mother was chased and killed, she took me all the way to escape, and told me that I must cultivate hard so that I can protect myself, so I cultivated so that I could live." β
Xiao Mu didn't speak, and the little bell turned his head and asked, "Brother Xiao Mu, what are you cultivating for?" β
Little Bell's casual words made Xiao Mu also start to doubt himself: Yes, what am I cultivating for? So that one day I can go to my father? So that one day I can save my mother? Or is it to get back all this unjust Heavenly Dao has brought to itself?
Seeing that Xiao Mu was stunned and didn't speak, Little Bell continued: "Does Brother Xiao Mu want to participate in the big competition? β
"Why do you ask?" Xiao Mu looked at the little bell.
"Brother Xiao Mu must want to participate in the big competition!" Xiao Mu was stunned for a moment, and the little bell propped his chin with both hands and continued: "Actually, I also hope that Brother Xiao Mu will participate!" β
"Why?"
"Because Brother Xiao Mu is the first choice for the big competition in my heart!" The little bell said: "Although I don't know what Brother Xiao Mu has practiced all these years, but Brother Xiao Mu, do you really not want to know your current cultivation?" The little bell turned his head to look at Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu turned his head to avoid the little bell's gaze: "Let's go back to eat!" As he spoke, he stood up and stretched out his hand to the little bell.
At night, with a cool breeze, it blew through the rattling trees, through the shining river, and through the handsome cheeks of Xiao Mu, who was full of heat. What a beautiful summer night, with the crystal stars shining movingly in the endless gray sky, and the gnats, crickets, and frogs that did not sleep, and chi, sang softly in the grass, by the pond, and in the gaps of the trees. The vast fields in the quiet sleep, the green crops, the babbling river, the crooked dirt roads stretching in the dark night, the wild flowers and leaves that emit the fragrant smell, and the rich and fresh air are all very charming in this unusual night, giving people a feeling of extraordinary beauty.
Xiao Mu sat on the edge of the cliff without the slightest intention to enjoy the scenery, his breathing became more and more rapid, because the huge pain from his temples made his brows tighten, and his body curled up together and shivered.
Seeing Xiao Mu's unbearable pain, the spirit of determination finally couldn't bear it, "If you can't forget it, why don't you just face it!" After speaking, he stretched out his fingers and Xiao Mu's eyebrows a little more, and Xiao Mu broke free from the pain.
Xiao Mu gasped and looked back at the Spirit of Determination: "Master! β
The Spirit of Determination flicked his sleeves: "I don't have an apprentice like you!" β
"Master!" Xiao Mu knelt on the ground: "I was wrong!" β
Seeing Xiao Mu's resolute spirit, he was still reluctant: "That's it, don't think about some things after they have passed!" The Spirit of Determination sighed, "After all, you're just a child!" β
The Spirit of Determination picked up Xiao Mu and turned to look into the distance: "Xiao Mu, do you know why I want to give you the Chaos Celestial Decision?" β
"Because I'm a descendant of the Innate Dao?" In fact, Xiao Mu didn't know why the Spirit of Determination chose himself to inherit the Chaos Celestial Body Decision in the first place.
The Spirit of Determination smiled: "The world is so big, and you Xiao Mu is not the only cultivation genius!" β
Xiao Mu looked back at the Spirit of Determination, and the Spirit of Determination still looked into the distance: "That day, I came to Maple Leaf City with the Heavenly Thunder, and watched your innate Dao being destroyed, and your father blocked the Heavenly Thunder in front of you in order to save you, and later when you and your father were dying, your mother sacrificed her life to save you!" The Spirit of Decision paused and continued: "After your father left, Jin Cai deceived your city lord's order, you watched one by one old subordinates being driven away, and it didn't take long for you to be driven out of the city lord's mansion by Jin Cai, when you came here, you didn't complain about the gap in life, but chased me to worship me as a teacher, saying that you will never die if you don't take revenge in this life, and I still remember that unwilling look." β
The Spirit of Determination smiled and looked at Xiao Mu and said, "I know you hate Jin Cai in your heart... β
"I want to participate in the big competition!" Xiao Mu suddenly opened his mouth and interrupted the words of the Spirit of Determination.
The Spirit of Determination was not surprised: "Have you thought about it?" β
"You've figured it out!"
"Even if it's still the first order of Tianshu, doesn't it matter if you fail in the first game and be laughed at?" The Spirit of Determination looked at Xiao Mu.
Xiao Mu smiled: "Have I been ridiculed less over the years?" β
"Go ahead!" The Spirit of Determination looked at Xiao Mu with a smile: "Do your best, one day you will get back everything that belongs to you!" β
Xiao Mu smiled: "Thank you, Master!" β
The morning sun, as big as the wheel of an ox-cart, as bright red as molten iron, with a shimmering light, sat on the ridge of the east, and lifted the veil-like mist with his hands.
The little bell made breakfast early but didn't see Xiao Mu, just when she decided to go out to find him, Xiao Mu came back, "Where did you go, Brother Xiao Mu?" β
"I'm going to sign up." Xiao Mu entered the door and walked directly to the table and sat down.
"Sign up?" The little bell sat down and looked at Xiao Mu, "What's your name?" β
"Great competition!" Xiao Mu said as he handed the porridge to the little bell: "Eat, it's almost cold!" β
"Really?" The little bell said in surprise: "Then I must go and see." β
"Little bell!" Xiao Mu looked at the little bell with some seriousness: "What if I lose this time?" β
"So what?" Little Bell was a little disapproving: "Even if I lose, Brother Xiao Mu is still that genius in my heart, and he has never changed!" After all, geniuses have to go through tribulations! β
Xiao Mu smiled and touched the little bell's head: "I'm afraid that you are the only one in the world who thinks so!" β
Half a month laterββββββ
When Xiao Mu stood on the big martial arts arena, there was a sigh around him, some ridiculed and some disapplied, only the little bell stood in the crowd and looked at Xiao Mu firmly to cheer for him.
"Do you think Xiao Mu is crazy, the lowest cultivation in the big martial arts competition is also Tianji, isn't he looking for death when he comes to participate in the big competition from the Tianshu realm?" Yang Zhang looked at Xiao Mu with disdain on his face and said to Wen Lu beside him.
"Whatever, as long as he is on the venue of the big competition, Jin Gongzi will not let him stand down!" Wen Lu said.
Yang Zhang glanced back at Jin Zhen, who was standing beside Jin Cai, and then turned his head to look at Xiao Mu and snorted coldly: "Hmph! Who told him to look at no one like that! β
Jin Zhen's face changed when he saw Xiao Mu, and Jin said when he saw this: "Leave him alone." β
"Dad, why did you let him participate in the big competition?" Jin Shu looked at Jin Cai and asked.
Jin Cai looked at Xiao Mu who was not far away and said, "Maple Leaf City has always been open to everyone to participate, if we stop him from participating, it will definitely cause gossip!" β
Xiao Mu also turned to look at Jin Cai's father and son at this time, Jin Shu looked at Xiao Mu's eyes getting colder and colder: "I must let him lie down and go back!" β
