Chapter 765 Live Longer
Chapter 765 Live Longer
Mu Qin watched the old man and the young man fighting in medicine, but for a while, she couldn't tell who was the winner. Although she had a wide range of knowledge, she was weak in medical theory and couldn't figure out the reason, but she also vaguely felt that Bian Huo was better in medicine. However, in her heart, Li Changxiao still won this battle of doctors. She didn't care what the facts were, as long as Li Changxiao appeared, she would determine that Li Changxiao won. Even if he lost, he still won.
This Immortal Mu has always been so overbearing, unreasonable, and self-willed. In the folding mirror, the two people's medical duel ended, and the scene changed again. Mu Qin sat for about half an hour, felt that he was not very interested, and got up and left.
She thought that there were many places in Dayu that were worth exploring and understanding slowly, so she took her time and rented an inn.
She stayed there, opened the window of the inn, and the breeze blew into the room. Mu Qin looked out at the bustling streets of the city and suddenly realized why the monks went to the South China Sea with all their might and had to pass through Dayu.
Where human destiny gathers, people also gather. Compared with other countries, Da Yu is indeed irreplaceable.
Mu Qin stayed in the inn for several days. She found that every morning, there was a storyteller sitting in the lobby on the first floor, with a cup of warm tea, a wooden folding fan, and a clever mouth, telling folk stories. Mu Qin didn't care at first, but after listening to it many times, she suddenly thought that this might be a good way to understand the customs and people of a place.
So I spent three or two coins to buy a seat and listened to the trivial stories of the people, some true, some false, some exaggerated, and some classic.
For example, she found one thing very credible. The storyteller said that in Dayu, there was once chaos caused by incense and fire, which harmed the people and deceived the incense and fire. Later, a swordsman killed all the incense and fire gods. Later, the current monarch came to power, developed the Tianji Dao, and curbed the chaos of incense and fire. This is how the current situation gradually came about.
Mu Qin recalled that there were indeed very few temples dedicated to the gods in Dayu. Occasionally, she saw one or two, but they were her own temples, and the incense was sparse.
Mu Qin laughed at herself. Although Tianji Dao was not a life-extending Dao, it could be considered a product of "reform" just like Xianghuo Dao. The two Daos were completely contradictory. Xianghuo Dao valued gods, while Tianji Dao valued the people. What was even more fatal was that both reform Daos needed to rely on the court to survive.
This led to a dispute between the two great ways. The more the Tianji Dao prospered, the more the Xianghuo Dao declined.
Mu Qin knew that her own incense path, and even the world's incense path, had already gone astray. The incense path should also focus on the "people" because the incense comes from the "people". But when Mu Qin first set foot in the incense path, she continued the indifferent character she had developed in her early years of practicing Taoism. She abandoned the people.
Since then, it has gone astray. Even though it has an epiphany later, most of the gods of the incense and fire sect are the same as Mu Qin at the beginning. As a result, the incense and fire sect has gone astray and it is difficult to turn back.
Mu Qin sighed, walking alone on the street, passing by the people, thinking about the current Lingtian Dynasty. Although she was a high-ranking deity, she was still the mother of Lingtian River, but her "not saving a city" had been confirmed. In addition, with the changes in the times, it was difficult for immortals to hide, and they began to appear in the eyes of mortals one after another.
The incense in the Hemu Temple has long been reduced, and in many places, the golden statue of Hemu has been spontaneously removed. After Li Tianyu seized the throne, he wanted to worship Mu Qin as the mother of the country. But after Mu Qin refused, Li Tianyu never mentioned it again.
Later, as the king, Li Tianyu did not want to be suppressed by the gods all the time, so he deliberately weakened the incense of Hemu. In addition, as Tianji Dao was flourishing, Li Tianyu wanted to develop Tianji Dao with all his strength.
With all these factors combined, the incense has long been in decline, especially Ling Tianhe's mother. Mu Qin walked to the middle of the street, her mind was up and down, and she suddenly stopped and saw a familiar figure across the street.
It had been a long time since I had separated from that person, but his dissolute manner had never changed. Even though they were very far apart, I could always see him at a glance. Li Changxiao raised his hand to greet him, and Mu Qin was happy in her heart. She gently waved in response and walked over.
Li Chang laughed and asked in surprise, "You are here too?" Mu Qin said, "We are talking about peace, shouldn't I come?" Li Chang laughed and said, "I shouldn't come, I shouldn't come."
Mu Qin thought to herself, "Are you afraid that I would know about the unclear and dirty things going on between you and that mortal empress?" But as soon as she had this thought, her face turned red. She thought that she had no right to say this, and the friendship between the two of them was something that a mortal could not understand. The empress must have made up so many stories just to entertain herself because she couldn't get what she wanted.
She had been staying at the inn for a few days and had heard most of the stories that were spread all over Dayu Country. After hearing the characteristics of the story, such as the swordsman, the love of wine, and the white clothes, how could she not think of who the real person was?
With a little guess, he knew that the swordsman was so elegant and romantic, and how could the mortal empress remain indifferent after seeing him? So Immortal Mu, relying entirely on intuition and speculation, without any real evidence, guessed the relationship between the two.
Mu Qin asked, "Why shouldn't you come?" Li Chang laughed and said, "Rivers flow into the sea and are swallowed by the sea. The mother river will die if she sees the sea. You really shouldn't have come to the South China Sea." Mu Qin gently held her hair and said, "The last time you and I crossed the sea to look for the Dao fruit, wasn't I alive and well?"
Li Changxiao said solemnly: "The journey to the Great Heaven Realm is so dangerous. You almost died several times. Now you come again..." Mu Qin said frankly: "Why fear death? Most of Fuyao merged and died here. What can one more me do?" Li Changxiao was speechless.
Mu Qin stared at Li Changxiao and suddenly smiled: "You care about me and don't want me to die, right?"
Mu Qin added: "If you don't want me to die, I will live longer and go back to Lingtian. If you don't care about me, I, the river mother, will go to stir the sea." Her tone was cold, but it concealed joy and anticipation.
Li Changxiao said helplessly: "I just hope you live longer and longer. I have stirred up the South China Sea. If you feel regretful, I will stir it up again next time, and it will be your share." He never revealed his feelings. Even if he hoped that good people and acquaintances could live longer and live better, he always thought about it silently in his heart and rarely said it out loud.
Mu Qin walked beside Li Changxiao, and the fragrant wind blew over her. Her face was no longer cold, but full of joy. She asked, "What about the peace talks?" Li Changxiao said, "Do you think we should fight or stop?" Mu Qin said, "Of course we should fight. I didn't come before because there was a place outside Lingtian where the sea was in chaos. I was paying attention to that place. Otherwise, I would have come here to stir up trouble. Haha, mermaids, are they scary?"
His eyes were filled with murderous intent.
