041 Meet Again
Mu Xi also wanted to help Emperor Zun, but it was hard to say whether he could survive this calamity in his life, let alone worry about Emperor Zun. However, if he could return to the temple alive from the mortal world, he would have to think about something.
There are ways to help Emperor Zun. Even if you can't wake up Emperor Zun, it is still good to serve him wholeheartedly every day.
Before leaving, Nanque gave Mu Xi a copper bell. This bell was called a sound-transmitting bell, which could transmit messages to each other thousands of miles away.
It was said that it was Nanque who gave it to her, but Mu Xi didn't know that this was what the emperor had already ordered to Nanque, so that she could consult Nanque at any time if she was in any emergency or had any questions in the mortal world.
, Mu Xi’s coming and going is only a moment in the underworld, but it may have been several months in the mortal world!
The prince's fateful calamity was approaching, and Mu Xi went down to the mortal world two days in advance. In the mortal world, there were still two years left. Within two years, Mu Xi had to find ways to help the prince survive the love calamity, and then find another one by himself.
If he ended his mortal life at the right time, he would be considered to have passed the calamity of death.
I don’t know if the prince and Princess Tong Ling have become friends after more than ten years have passed. Hey, the prince was reborn as a mute. I wonder if Tong Ling will dislike him?
As soon as Mu Xi entered the mortal world, he forced his head down from the clouds in the barren mountain to avoid being seen by mortals and causing unprovoked trouble.
She and Luo Yan walked in tandem. Luo Yan jumped up and down from time to time to pick fruits. After a while, he picked a full bag and brought it over, wiped it clean and handed it to Mu Xi.
"Auntie, eat a peach! I've tasted it, it's very sweet!"
Mu Xi took the peach and took a bite. Sure enough, it tasted sweet. She ate three in a row before getting ready to go down the mountain to Pingdu City.
As he was walking, he heard the sound of a fight, and Luo Yan quickly protected Mu Xi.
"Auntie, you have evil spirits, be careful!"
Mu Xi took a closer look and realized that there was definitely a demonic aura coming, but the demonic aura wasn't very powerful yet, so she didn't need to worry about it.
"Shall we go take a look?"
The two flew up to the top of the tree and sat down. When they looked down, they saw a red scorpion spirit fighting vigorously with a young man.
Although this scorpion spirit is not very powerful, scorpions have always been highly poisonous, let alone a scorpion that has been trained to become a demon? And the young man fighting it has no demonic or fairy aura in him, so it is obvious that he is
An ordinary mortal.
"This mortal is quite capable. He can actually fight to a draw with this scorpion spirit who has been practicing for at least a hundred years. It's quite surprising!"
Mu Xi knew that if a monster appeared in the mortal world, the most powerful one would naturally be the gods sent from the heavenly realm to descend to the mortal world to eliminate them. The middle and lower-level monsters were usually hunted down by people who were proficient in swordsmanship in the mortal world, but if a single person fought against a century-old scorpion spirit, it would be really difficult.
rare.
"Auntie, do you need me to help him?" Luo Yan could see that although this young man was powerful, he was gradually at a disadvantage. It was obvious that he had just been stung by the scorpion spirit with its tail, and the poison had taken effect, so he was a little unable to hold on.
.
"Wait and see!" Because the two of them were fighting inextricably, Mu Xi couldn't tell the truth, but he always felt that this young man seemed to have a nice face, but he couldn't tell the truth at the moment and didn't dare to judge.
After the young man fought with the scorpion spirit for dozens of rounds, he couldn't hold on anymore because the poison became more and more severe. The scorpion spirit opened its mouth and was about to swallow the young man in one gulp. Mu Xi touched it casually,
He took out the sword from his waist and stabbed the scorpion spirit in front of him.
She did not stab the scorpion spirit directly, because the sword was only stuck on the ground, but the spiritual energy overflowed, and the scorpion spirit took a few steps back in fright. Apparently it knew who the immortal was coming when it saw the sword.
When the scorpion spirit was in panic and distracted, the young man immediately jumped up with his sword and stabbed the key point under its neck. Immediately, the scorpion spirit's demonic aura slowly dissipated like a deflated rubber ball.
Finally, the demonic power dissipated and it returned to an ordinary scorpion, spinning around underground looking for a hole to escape.
When the young man was about to stab the scorpion to death with his sword, Mu Xi shouted, "Assistant, don't kill them all!"
The young man turned around and saw a handsome young man standing in front of him. He immediately realized that it was this young man who came to the rescue. He quickly bowed his hands and thanked: "Thank you young master for saving me! But that's all."
Monster, why do you want me to spare its life?"
"You have dissipated its demonic power. It is now an ordinary scorpion, so why bother killing any more?"
Mu Xi felt that it was difficult for any living being. Even if it was just a scorpion, it still had the will to survive, just like he desperately wanted to live in his previous life.
"But if one day it becomes a demon again, wouldn't it kill people again?"
Young people are still somewhat unwilling to compromise.
"Did this demon really harm the lives of mortals? I see that although its body is full of demonic aura, it is not half evil. I don't think it has ever relied on sucking the essence and blood of mortals to increase its demonic power!"
It was with this in mind that Mu Xi did not want to kill him.
"That's because its Taoism is still shallow and it doesn't dare to offend humans easily. If it practices for a while and has the ability to fly to the sky and escape from the earth, in order to improve its cultivation and become an immortal, won't it still attack people?"
The young man still believes very stubbornly.
"In that case, sir, do you kill a demon on sight? What is your purpose? To protect the people? Or do you also want to practice by this?"
Mu Xi seems not to be able to talk about great principles, but Emperor Zun still lectures on scriptures and Taoism every few hundred years. Even though there are only three people from Mu Xi, Nanque and Beixiu in the temple, Emperor Zun still speaks eloquently and never
slack off.
Therefore, despite being influenced by what I heard and saw, I still developed a heart of pity for all living beings.
"This is not only to protect the safety of the people, but also for my own cultivation. I hope that one day I will be able to complete my merits and practice Taoism and become an immortal!"
The young man expressed his lofty ambitions.
When Luo Yan heard this, he laughed out loud.
"Auntie, this person is really funny. A mortal actually wants to practice Taoism and become an immortal?"
"Why can't mortals become immortals? Flowers, trees, birds and animals can become immortals through hard work, so why can't mortals?"
The young man was very dissatisfied with this. After all, cultivating Taoism and becoming an immortal was his lifelong wish.
"Flowers, trees, birds and animals can become immortals through hard training, but only if they do not cross the demon world and harm people's lives in this life, plus thousands of years of hard training can they become immortals. If they follow evil ways, such as absorbing the essence of mortals, they can become immortals.
When you improve your cultivation, you will always only improve your own demon power. At most, you can become the demon king and overlord of one party. How can you become an immortal? But mortals are different. Mortals always like to put themselves above all living beings. Instead, they use flowers, trees, and birds to
Living on animals for food, you still think that this is what you should do. In this way, talents are the most greedy ones. Throughout their lives, demons do not admire glory, wealth, love in the world, power and fame, but just seek the Tao. How deplorable is that?
, but it’s different. There’s a saying, everyone says that gods are good, but they can’t forget the fame, gold, silver, wife, children and grandchildren! Hey, so what you said about cultivating immortals and becoming Taoism is just that!”
Mu Xi spoke eloquently. He felt that under the influence of Emperor Zun, although he had not yet reached the level of holding a Dharma conference, he could surely open up his ears and eyes by talking to this mortal.
Sure enough, after hearing these words, the young man suddenly understood and immediately knelt down towards Mu Xi.
