Chapter 240 Two Worlds

Chapter 240 Two Worlds

They bid farewell to Yuan Zhong and left Feilu Mountain. They went up the mountain through the front mountain, and now they came down the back mountain. At the foot of the mountain in this direction, you can see a Jingxin nunnery in the distance.

Xue Mu stopped and took a look, shook his head and continued walking. Mu Jianli followed quietly and asked softly: "Junior sister Zhu, didn't you invite me for a while? Are you not going to meet me?"

"I'm not in the mood to get involved at the moment. Besides, she's probably not here either. She should go to the plague area with the team... She likes to be in the limelight."

Mu Jianli turned her head to look at him, and said with a smile: "So she really has a relationship with you... I really didn't expect it."

Xue Mu was a little embarrassed and didn't answer.

Mu Jianli took his hand and said softly: "Why be embarrassed? I should have known who you are."

Xue Mu changed the subject and said, "You being with me affects my practice, and I don't know how to solve this problem. I'll ask Wei Ye later to see what she has in mind."

Mu Jianli smiled slightly: "Why bother? Never mind the sword and Tathagata!"

Xue Mu also laughed.

Mu Jianli added: "Besides, by your side, Jianli's vision and mind have broadened. Maybe his practice will be beneficial in other ways, who knows."

Xue Mu smiled and said, "Could you say nice things to coax me?"

Mu Jianli shook her head, she was telling the truth.

Today she listened all the time and felt that she had learned a lot. I once roamed the rivers and lakes, my white clothes stained with blood. I also worshiped the sword thousands of miles away and asked all the people's hearts. But they don’t seem to be as many as we saw this morning.

Because the viewing angle is elevated.

In the past, when I practiced cultivation, I could only see what I saw, what I felt in my heart, and what I thought was only within a small area. This is what is called looking at the world. It is also about thinking about other people's ways, studying the entanglements of forces, the debate between good and evil, and the distinction between government and opposition. That is what is called the world.

But today, I feel like I am floating in the sky with Xue Mu, seeing the world from the clouds, observing all living beings, and thinking about the cornerstone of the entire human world.

Yuan Zhong said that Xue Mu was a true Zen, and she felt the same in her heart.

If not the Buddha, how could he have such a high perspective of universal salvation for all sentient beings?

They are all considered to be in the middle of the situation, as if they are at the bottom of a well, looking up at the sky, the sky they can see is only as big as the mouth of the well. The time traveler is not in the well, so he will naturally think about the world from the perspective of a bystander. Xue Mu thinks that what he says is very ordinary, but he doesn't know that in the hearts of Yuan Zhong and Mu Jianli, he is simply a small person. This is not Zen, who is Zen?

Xue Mu himself obviously didn't feel that he had such a strong character. He always felt that there were so many things on this trip to Luzhou that he could hardly handle them all. He felt quite overwhelmed and couldn't feel how great he was.

Back to Tianxiang Tower, Tianxiang Tower is closed today. Yue Xiaochan and others were sitting in the backyard talking to each other about their experiences in the past few months, but they were obviously waiting for Xue Mu's next move. Seeing Xue Mu return with Mu Jianli, Yue Xiaochan smiled: "Have you met Yuan Zhong?"

"Yeah." Xue Mu smiled and said, "This monk is okay, but it's different from the Buddha stick I originally expected."

Yue Xiaochan sighed: "The reason why the Righteous Sect is the Righteous Sect has its merits. If you set your expectations at the level of our Demon Sect and see them, your image will naturally be elevated."

Xue Mu smiled and said, "You also know that your image is not good, right?"

Yue Xiaochan said leisurely: "Why is he called a devil? Do you think that everyone has no idea? He just thinks that his own way is right and goes on firmly. You think that he has a good image, but I say that is a common opinion, and my image is the only one." It’s even better, but ordinary people don’t understand!”

Xue Mu nodded, what he said was on point. The charm of the demon sect in this world is that they know what they are doing and how others see them. As for whether Tao is right or not, that is another matter. Who dares to judge who must be right and who must be wrong?

Naturally, he would not judge these things, he just smiled and said: "So I think you are cute, which means I am not an ordinary person."

The girls of the Xingyue Sect all clasped their hands and laughed: "You are the general manager of my sect, who dares to say that you are an ordinary person."

As he spoke, his eyes were glancing at Mu Jianli. I originally thought that Mu Jianli would look a little unswerving after hearing the shameless boasting of the Demon Sect, but unexpectedly, she smiled lightly and stood quietly next to Xue Mu, not caring at all.

The girls laughed for a while but felt bored, so they asked: "What should we do next?"

Xue Mu's expression became serious: "What happened this time is definitely not a natural disaster. I'm afraid there is a conspiracy waiting for me. Xiaochan will settle down, and Huayun and above will follow me to the plague area."

Yue Xiaochan lost her voice and said, "Isn't that true?"

Transformation and above! This is the top power in the world. There are countless Xingyue witches in Tianxiang Tower. The only ones who have reached this level are Weiye Yue, Xiaochan Zhuo Qingqing, Qinli who is in charge of this place, and Mu Jianli who is beside Xue Mu.

Not even Luo Qianxue has reached that level...

Xue Mu said seriously: "I have a hunch that there will be a crisis ahead. Moreover, Xie Changsheng's underground palace also taught us that there is no point in having too many people. Qinli will stay and lead people to protect this place, and guarding the Xingluo Formation is also an important matter. Others will follow me. Walk."

Yue Xiaochan frowned.

Wei Ye's smiling expression turned into nothing.

Xue Mu has always been very courageous. Even though his cultivation was so weak, he still dared to save Xue Qingqiu, dared to watch people fight black dragons, dared to join the team to attack Xie Changsheng, and dared to face Qin Wuye. But this time, Luzhou looked calm, and everything seemed to be fine. Meng Feibai even held a banquet to treat guests, and Yuan Zhong also came back to discuss Zen. On the surface, it seemed that nothing should happen... But this time Xue Mu The fact that it was so solemn showed that the importance of this matter in his heart was so high that the alarm bells were ringing.

Zhuo Qingqing took a deep breath and stood beside Xue Mu: "It's not too late, let's set off."

Luo Qianxue whined and grabbed Mu Jianli: "You guys let the bride enter the room and the matchmaker threw it over the wall..."

Mu Jianli pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer. She also didn't know that Xue Mu was holding such great worries in his heart while watching his argument with Yuan Zhong. No wonder Zhu Chenyao didn't even go to see her...

…

The so-called plague area is actually not too far away.

The plague started on the southeast coast, only a few hundred miles away from the southeastern suburbs of Luzhou. The plague spread and was about to reach Luzhou more than a hundred miles away. Due to Wujiu Temple's handling of the matter and Yuan Zhong's supreme magical power, it suppressed it. , did not spread into the city.

After the medical fairy Xiao Qingwu arrived, the epidemic was effectively contained. Now the epidemic area is shrinking and getting farther and farther away from Luzhou City.

However, the relocated people have not returned and their livelihood has not been restored. As everyone walked along, they still saw a desolate and depressed area, with abandoned fields and dilapidated houses. The bones have been collected long ago, and mass graves can be seen everywhere. The stone tablets on them are messy, and there are burnt black marks on the hills.

Wild crows are flying down, screaming loudly, there is no one for hundreds of miles, rags are fluttering, and there is the whistling sound of wind everywhere. Standing on the hill and looking into the distance, white flags are everywhere in the distance, and paper money is everywhere, which is enough to scare ordinary people. I really don’t know how many heart-wrenching things I will see if I go there in person.

Compared with Meng Feibai's grand banquet at that time, everyone sighed in their hearts.

When hearing the word "plague", most people just think "oh" and don't feel anything at all. If you haven't witnessed it with your own eyes, you really don't know what the scene is, and it is difficult to have any sense of urgency.

Even Xue Mu hadn't figured it out before. The city and the outside, only a hundred miles away, were actually two different worlds.
