Chapter 189: Reality
......
After the matter of the flood disaster was resolved, Mu Chen silently left the team of the seventy-two sects.
After all, he is a casual cultivator, and he can't be with these people all the time, after all, they are no longer the same kind of people, and Mu Chen's goal has been achieved, and there is no need to continue to stay.
And the people of the seventy-two sects actually didn't thank Mu Chen, but felt that it was Mu Chen's method that put more people in danger, rather than the fixed 'bait' of some sects to take risks.
Therefore, Mu Chen did not regain the respect of the monks of the seventy-two sects because of the preferences provided to the seventy-two sects.
But corresponding to the attitude of the cultivators of the seventy-two sects, it was the people from all over the Shenzhou Continent, and they were all very grateful to Mu Chen for his personal help.
It's not because Mu Chen did anything deliberately, nor did he want to get anything in return, it's just that in the places he saw that there was a famine, he would try his best to help those victims.
Although these matters were supposed to be handled by the seventy-two sects and local governments, those people would always disappear when they were needed.
This kind of thing, Mu Chen has learned since he was a child.
And after completely solving the matter of Shengyu, Mu Chen has another thing to do, which is to take in all the disciples and grandchildren of the scattered cultivators who died in Huguang, including Niu Laodao and others.
These disciples and grandchildren are not children with a very good foundation, and it can be said that they are those children who have been brushed down in the screening of the seventy-two sects.
But after all, most of the casual cultivators are not young, and it is very common for all of them to accept one or two Dao children by their side and inherit their own mantle, of course, these Dao children are usually only in the foundation building realm, and even few of them have entered the realm of refining and refining qi.
But this does not affect Mu Chen's responsibility for these Taoist children and teach these children well.
Mu Chen also taught these Daosun Mind Method, Sword Technique, and Five Elements Bagua Technique, so that they could help those in need as much as possible in the future, and inherit the good character of those who died and scattered cultivators.
Teach them the same strictly, and don't cheat without learning.
Continuing to wander around the Shenzhou Continent, Mu Chen also took in some homeless orphans and asked them to follow him and do what he could.
Mu Chen has already completed half of the three agreements made with Master Qin Xiuzi, so he only waits for two more disasters to be solved for the people of Limin, and Mu Chen will launch a thorough investigation into what happened to his parents at the beginning.
At the same time, although the seventy-two sects solved the flood disaster, the disaster areas affected by the flood were not so easy to recover.
Floods are caused by the sharp rise of the water level of rivers, rivers, lakes and reservoirs, the overflow or bursting of dams, and the inflow of water.
In order to help more people, Mu Chen took the Taoist children to help the affected Li people all the way and adopt homeless children.
and Mu Chen's former friends Feixuan, Binwei, Xinfang and others also came to help, even Youqian and Si Nian came together, only Wangshu and Yiyi did not come.
This is not because Yiyi and Wangshu don't want to come, but because Yiyi is pregnant, Wangshu has to take care of Yiyi in the sect, and it is not appropriate to let people who are about to become parents come in the disaster-stricken place.
Therefore, Mu Chen and the others persuaded Wangshu to go back, not letting him help the victims with them, just saying that it was enough to say that his mind had arrived.
This disaster relief team is getting bigger and bigger, and the people remember more people who helped them, especially Mu Chen.
But usually, those sects are only concerned with fighting disasters, and they will not care about the reconstruction after the disaster, and only sporadic scattered cultivators will help deal with it, but it is not a climate, so the sects will not pay attention to it.
But Mu Chen's fame is getting bigger and bigger, and some people begin to have opinions about him.
These people who looked at Mu Chen unpleasantly said: "This Mu Chen is so willing to help others, doesn't it seem that the people of our seventy-two sects are inactive?"
"So what, can it be that Mu Chen alone who can deal with the calamity beasts? Those mortals are just too stupid, someone put on a show in front of them, and these people forget what our seventy-two sects did for Li Min Cangsheng!"
Speaking of which, more rumors spread among the cultivators of the seventy-two sects, because for the Demon Sect, the seventy-two sects have been looking for their traces, so there are still many sect members who are out in the company to find the people of the Demon Sect.
All this gossip spread easily.
"Then we might as well go to him if there is any trouble in the future, so that we can prevent him from saving people safely. ”
Someone proposed a plan, and this is not just talking, in fact, someone has long been secretly operating and secretly hindering the rescue activities of Mu Chen and others.
Some people pretended to be ordinary people and secretly spread rumors that Mu Chen wanted to be the emperor of the world.
Someone added stones and sand to the food that Dao Tong and others gave alms.
There were even people who told those Dao boys and orphans that the death of their master's parents was caused by Mu Chen, and he was doing this now completely because he felt guilty!
These people slandered Mu Chen everywhere, until Si Nian, Youqian, Xinfang and others caught a few people who secretly threw sand into the millet, and these people said that someone gave them money to do so.
The grumpy Xinfang was very angry, she guessed that it was the monk who was not used to seeing Mu Chen do it, and said:
"Those people don't help, forget it, and deliberately drag people back, I'll go to them to theorize!"
Mu Chen persuaded Xin Fang, because he knew that doing so would definitely cause some people's jealousy and dissatisfaction, but as long as he had a clear conscience.
Since Mu Chen entered the Great Realm of God Refining and Voiding, his thinking and mentality have calmed down a lot, and he is not at all like before.
Mu Chen said calmly and gently:
"Xinfang, do you have any evidence, even if you find them to theorize, what's the use, let's just do our own thing. ”
But one day, the imperial court sent someone.
Mu Chen was distributing bean porridge to the victims on the side of the street, when suddenly a group of officers and soldiers came from the opposite side, carrying a dark blue sedan chair, and stopped in front of Mu Chen.
I saw that from the dark blue sedan chair, a swaying figure walked down and walked towards Mu Chen.
Mu Chen looked closer, and it was a eunuch with a delicate face and smiling eyebrows.
The thin body was dressed in meticulous eunuch clothes, and the waist was naturally slightly bent.
The fingers he folded in front of him were curling the slight orchid fingers, and said to Mu Chen in a soft voice.
"Oh, this little brother with clear eyebrows and extraordinary instruments is an immortal!"
"Minion, it was sent by the Lord of Long Live to specially invite the Morning Star Immortal to the palace to reward the Mu Immortal for what he has done these days!"
Mu Chen and his friends were all taken aback by this little eunuch, they had never been in contact with eunuchs, so they also had goosebumps when they heard the words of this little eunuch.
And Mu Chen also felt strange, what is the emperor of the Guangshu Kingdom looking for himself?
He doesn't need a bounty.
So Mu Chen said to him:
"Thank you for your emperor's kindness, but Mu Chen is not interested in money and rights in the mortal world, no matter how famous or prestigious, it is just a passing cloud, no different from me. ”
"Immortals! When you say that, aren't you just embarrassed minions!"
"You saved the people of Limin, but you didn't know that if I couldn't invite you back, the head of the slave wouldn't be able to be saved!"
"What's more, my emperor is the Son of Heaven, how can he be a mortal person, invite Mu Xianren to the palace, naturally not only want to reward Mu Xianren, but also invite Mu Xianren to move, which can be regarded as saving the life of the slave!"
In the last sentence, the little eunuch stomped his left foot as if he was dissatisfied, but the corners of his mouth trembled unconsciously.
Mu Chen was so worn by the little eunuch that he had no choice, he said that His Majesty the Emperor invited Mu Chen into the palace, Mu Chen had never seen what the palace looked like, so much so that he felt that the Ziyunding Heavenly Palace was already the most gorgeous palace he had ever seen, and there was probably no more majestic and gorgeous palace on this continent than the Ziyunding Heavenly Palace.
The Guangshu Kingdom is the largest and most populous country on the Shenzhou Continent, and it is also the kingdom with the longest history on the Shenzhou Continent.
The counties under the jurisdiction of the Shuzhong Bamboo Sword Hall where Mu Chen was located before were all the cities of Guangshu Kingdom.
Guangshu has achieved high achievements in politics, economy, culture, diplomacy and other aspects, and is the most powerful country in the Shenzhou continent.
Some of the effects around the Shenzhou continent, such as the Sixi Dynasty, Fankou, Silla, Balhae and other surrounding subject countries, were greatly influenced by the Guangshu Kingdom in terms of their political system and social culture.
In the last 200 years, in the first half of the Guangshu Kingdom, the economy and society were on the rise, the society was advanced, the culture was prosperous, the social atmosphere was inclusive, and the rulers also learned a lot from foreign civilizations.
And now, although there are many disasters on the Shenzhou Continent, this does not affect the development of Guangshu Country.
Although Mu Chen agreed to the little eunuch to enter the palace, he did not go with the little eunuch, but flew with the sword, and it only took one day and one night to come to the palace, which scared the palace forbidden army.
Then, it was the emperor who recognized Mu Chen, and then he was relieved.
After coming to the palace, the emperor said that the immortal on Chenxing had a meritorious role in saving the country, and was regarded as a national teacher, giving him gold and silk, and said: "Mu Xianshi, you have done enough for my heavenly kingdom, and the rest will be left to the imperial court to do." ”
In fact, the emperor was jealous of those folk gossip, after all, there had never been an immortal who had personally gone down to the earth to rescue the disaster before, and he couldn't help but think that Mu Chen had other ideas, maybe he wanted to do something to usurp the throne.
Therefore, the emperor set up a banquet and poisoned him, and he obtained a colorless and tasteless poison from a certain masked immortal master, and I heard that it was only useful for the cultivator, and once the cultivator ate this poison, the poison would corrode the inner void of the cultivator, so that the cultivator would become a complete waste.
When that time comes, the emperor can do whatever he wants.
But what the emperor and the person who gave the emperor the poison didn't know was that Mu Chen had not only entered the great realm of refining gods and returning to nothingness, but his physique was no longer the physique of ordinary people.
Moreover, Mu Chen had experienced ordinary poisons and had no effect on him, because he used the snake venom of the twin snakes, and asked Li Guang Lao to refine the elixir that was invincible to all poisons, all of which were not immortal medicine-level poisons, there would be no way to take Mu Chen at all.
But the emperor didn't know about it, and in the banquet for Mu Chen, there were swordsmen besieging Mu Chen head-on, and he was called asking for advice.
Mu Chen cleaned them up very easily, and he didn't even use the aura, and the people who were ambushed in the dark of the banquet saw that Mu Chen didn't use the aura, and thought that he was indeed poisoned, and there was no way to mobilize the aura, so the archers finally made a sneak attack.
"Your Majesty, what exactly do you want to do?"
In the face of this continuous sneak attack, Mu Chen finally asked with some dissatisfaction.
His Majesty the Emperor saw that all the attacks had no effect on Mu Chen, so he could only wipe his sweat and reply:
"Don't be surprised by the immortals, don't be surprised by the immortals!"
"These people are all sneak attacks by barbarian hostile forces, I don't dare to arrange someone to sneak attack the immortal master!"
Mu Chen wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and pulled out the dark arrow from his chest, allowing the emperor to watch the wound heal.
At this time, Mu Chen also saw the timidity in the emperor's eyes, and he knew that the emperor was jealous of him, because that arrow was not an ordinary arrow, it was a refined immortal weapon, and the emperor also had the guidance of a monk behind his move.
He politely refused the reward, and asked the emperor to use all the rewards he gave to him to help the victims rebuild their homes, and to find homes for lost children to take in orphans who lost their parents due to the flood.
After that, Muchen sacrificed blood and flew away from the palace, and after flying out of the palace, he vomited blood to heal himself.
Although this poison did not corrode Mu Chen's inner void, it still injured him.
After returning to the stricken city, Mu Chen dismissed his disaster relief team and said to everyone:
"As long as you have the heart, even if you don't follow me, you can still help the suffering common people. ”
Xin Fang, who looked puzzled, asked, "Mu Chen, are you in the palace, listening to some gossip from indiscreet people?"
Mu Chen denied Xin Fang's doubts, and Xin Fang said:
"We can't do anything without you, you are our backbone. ”
Mu Chen said: "Believe in your own Dao heart, the fate of this matter is over, let's say goodbye." ”
He left with the Taoist children, found a dilapidated Taoist temple to live in, repaired the Taoist temple here, planted ordinary land, sold incense, and released the signatures to the people who came to ask for signatures, living the same life as ordinary people, as if he had not cultivated the Tao.
Because Mu Chen felt that after experiencing these things, his Dao heart was in turmoil and he needed to be quiet.
At this time, Jingnu finally figured out her own affairs and found Mu Chen.
Jingnu was by his side, cooking in the Taoist temple, although Jingnu's cooking was very unpalatable, everyone ate with relish, and they didn't feel hard, and there were many acquaintances in the middle who came to visit him, and Mu Chen avoided it.
Mu Chen just wants to concentrate on doing something for himself, and at the same time investigate his mother's death and his father's whereabouts.
After so many things, Mu Chen is mature enough, and he is no longer the stunned young man he was back then.
