Li Mu had a dream.

In the dream, his consciousness left ** and gradually ascended, rising over the treetops and over the mountaintops.

He could clearly see his body lying quietly on the green grass slowly shrinking, at first he could see his face clearly, gradually, he could see the outline of the woods he was in, and then he saw Yedu, the bustling crowd of Yedu was as small as ants, he saw the river, and finally the sea. But as far as he could see, there were no boundaries, and he couldn't see where the end of the world was.

He felt that he had become the sun, and he felt that his consciousness was on the same level as the sun, looking down on all beings in the world. Strangely, there was no excitement in his heart, his emotions were as unfluctuating as an ancient well, and he was so calm that he was not like himself at all. This made him feel a little ridiculous, "If it is not himself, then who is in charge of this consciousness that can make him see so highly"?

He suddenly became a little frightened, he wanted to go back, he began to hate this feeling of being superior, this attitude of indifference like a master, made his heart a little uncomfortable, even more unhappy. He tried to pull his consciousness back, back into his own body. But how can consciousness be controlled? It is consciousness that controls the body, so what is it that controls consciousness?

He wanted to pull his consciousness back into his body, but only to think about it. It was a little frustrating, and he felt a very familiar feeling in his heart. Where did he experience this feeling? This feeling of powerlessness and despair made him think of death at once. Sadly, he couldn't even die without a physical body at this time.

Li Mu stood in the air in a daze, looking at the churning of the clouds around him, he couldn't feel it or touch it, he was a complete outsider. But he didn't care about any of that, he just wanted to know how long he would be "imprisoned" here. He has completely lost his freedom, and even the freedom to control himself, is gone.

I don't know how long it has passed, it is an extremely long time in Li Mu's feeling, but he doesn't know whether it was a day, a month or a year at all, and it is even possible that it has only passed for a moment.

In Li Mu's cold consciousness, there was suddenly a trace of warmth, and then this warmth was like water boiling on a fire, slowly heated, heated, and finally boiled. No words can describe the pain, his consciousness was tumbling like boiling hot water, even if the boiling was completely irreversible, and every moment he felt that the next moment his consciousness would evaporate like boiling water. But this moment did not come, he felt that he was going to die at any moment, but his consciousness was still very clear, and he was constantly experiencing pain.

The pain was so deep that it seemed to tear his consciousness in half. He had never expected himself to die as he did now, but it had become a great luxury.

However, everything is everything, the extremes of things must be reversed, or not, just when Li Mu gradually couldn't bear this huge pain and his consciousness was about to be extinguished, a glimmer of light flashed. It is said to be a glimmer of light, but in fact, in this blue sky and white day, its light can still be clearly seen, if it is placed elsewhere, how should this light be dazzling?

Li Mu only felt that this light swept across his "body", and at that moment, he did not feel any pain or anxiety, and all perceptions left his consciousness. But he could clearly perceive that his consciousness was like tofu cut in half, split in two. This feeling was very peculiar, but Li Mu was relieved from the hellish pain at this time, but he didn't take into account how rare and extraordinary this matter was. And Li Mu was pleasantly surprised to find that he was able to control his consciousness. Li Mu immediately didn't think much about it, let his consciousness sink slowly, and the consciousness that had been divided into two before merged together again and slowly integrated into his physical body.

Li Mu woke up.

Seeing the sandalwood bed top carved with clouds and dragons, covered with a light and soft silk quilt, and faintly smelling incense at the end of his nose, he turned his head slightly, only to see that he was in a very large and gorgeous room.

Li Mu felt that his mind was a little dazed, and he coughed badly, so he groaned and muttered: "Water, water, give me water."

The maid standing aside heard his voice, and hurriedly went to the kitchen to bring a bowl of clear soup to Li Mu to drink, and went to report the news that He Qiu and Li Mu had woken up.

After He Qiu received the news, he walked to the room where Li Mu was. After waving his hand to drive away the people, he sat at the head of Li Mu's bed, his eyes burning, and he looked at him with a smile.

After Li Mu drank a bowl of clear soup, he felt much better. I remembered that after I committed suicide by poisoning in the suburbs of Yedu, I lost consciousness, but now not only did I not die, but I was lying on this big bed that only a very noble family had, and I was very confused. It's just that in the face of a handmaiden, it's not easy to ask. At this time, I saw a young man wearing a Taoist robe, with a handsome face, who was about the same age as himself, and walked to his bed and sat down, looking at himself very kindly and smiling.

Li Mu struggled to sit up and asked:

"I haven't thanked you for saving your life, may I ask you?"

He Qiu smiled and said: "I am the national teacher of Daqi, and Xuanming sent the envoy of Daqi to inspect it, which is what you mortals call 'immortals', but you don't have to be too restrained, we may become brothers in the same sect in the future."

As soon as Li Mu heard the word "immortal", a trace of imperceptible gloom flashed in his eyes, and suddenly he heard this person say that he wanted to become a fellow disciple with him, and he couldn't help but be a little confused, and asked:

"Dare to ask what the national teacher means?"

"Do you know how I got you here?" He Qiu asked rhetorically.

"I don't know, please ask the national teacher to solve my doubts. Li Mu replied honestly.

He Qiu recounted the process of the birth of the spiritual object causing chaos in the aura of heaven and earth, and went to investigate but found that the spiritual object was empty, and saw Li Mu lying in the center of the chaos to describe the process.

"You kid is also blessed, after swallowing the spirit of heaven and earth alive, he was only in a coma, and in the process of coma, he was also washed by the medicinal power of the spirit object, and he got great benefits. ”

Li Mu was even more confused when he heard this, he didn't remember what heaven and earth spiritual objects he had swallowed, but at this moment, his mind was in a hurry, but he also understood that he could never tell the truth, so he had to ask vaguely:

"What does this matter have to do with me becoming the same teacher as the same school?"

He Qiu said with a smile: "You swallow spiritual things alive and do not die, you must be a person with spiritual roots and the potential to cultivate immortals, and this time you have experienced such a creation as washing your muscles and cutting your marrow, and you have a solid foundation." As the patrol envoy of this gate, one of my responsibilities is to find mortals like you who have the qualifications to cultivate immortals and introduce them into the gate. If you are willing to join our faction, I am afraid that after more than ten years of cultivation, you will be able to catch up with me in your achievements, and then we will not be senior brothers? Let me ask you, would you like to enter our faction and accept the assessment?"

Li Mu was ecstatic in his heart, cultivating immortals! He actually had the qualifications to cultivate immortals, and now he had the opportunity to enter the sect of cultivating immortals, thousands of thoughts turned in his heart, but his face was silent. But after experiencing so many ups and downs, and walking in front of the ghost gate, his scheming change is no longer that simple move. He said with a look of excitement and ecstasy on his face:

"Xiaosheng has admired the immortal road for a long time, and now there is a national teacher who has fulfilled it, I am really grateful, I am afraid, how dare I not obey? ”

He Qiu smiled: "My surname is He, and my single name is an autumn character." You don't have to call me my teacher, just call me Brother He. By the way, do you remember what you swallowed?"

Li Mu casually made it up: "I don't know very well, I just remember that when I was passing by the woods outside the city, suddenly a glowing thing flew out and hit me, I just felt that that thing was extremely tempting to me, and a voice in my heart kept telling me to swallow it, swallow it." I didn't think much of it at the time, I swallowed it in one gulp, and then I didn't know what to do. ”

He Qiu was speechless for a long time, but said that this son had hit a lot of luck, and he could even let the spirit creature bump into him when he walked. He didn't be suspicious, because Li Mu's demeanor, words, and eyes were extremely sincere, and Li Mu's words were also consistent with his guesses. He Qiu had to confess the sentence "Recuperate and wait for news", and then walked out of Li Mu's room.

Listening to He Qiu's footsteps slowly walk away, and after disappearing, Mu Li let out a long sigh of relief. In the short tea time just now, he had to endure the discomfort after the split consciousness, and he also had to carefully prepare the wording to deal with He Qiu. It's really like being on the edge of the abyss, walking on thin ice, and you can't show the slightest abnormality in your demeanor. It was also a huge test for him, but now it seems that he has passed it.

Li Mu had mixed feelings in his heart, and he didn't know whether to be happy or worried. The happy thing is that he can join the Immortal Cultivation Sect and become a cultivator, so that he will have a glimmer of hope in the future to track down the culprit in Gui'an, and even avenge his parents; Although it seemed that this change was very good for him now, the unforgettable pain in the dream reminded him that it was far from that simple.

But he has always been resolute, and he had no way to take revenge before, so he chose to kill himself when he was desperate. At this time, the situation is very different, and they are all blessed by this unknown change, no matter how bad this change is, it can be worse than death? As long as people have a glimmer of hope, they will hold on tightly and refuse to let go. Li Mu's mentality at this time is like this, let you change in a thousand ways, I will not move from the eight winds. At this time, we can only take one step at a time.

After thinking about things clearly, Li Mu felt that a big stone in his heart had fallen to the ground, and the depression that had accumulated in his heart for many days was also swept away, and then he felt intense hunger. He called the maid outside the door, asked her to prepare a table of food, and enjoyed a delicious meal that he had not tasted when he was studying.
