Chapter 629: The Clouds and Mists Dispersed on the Bridge of Inquiry
Hundreds of strong men gathered in front of the Bridge of Inquiry, looking at it from afar, but no one dared to step on it. Mu Shu and Mu Qi watched from afar for several days, but they were at a loss as to what to do.
The weather has been unpredictable recently. As a fortune teller, Mu Qi is well versed in Feng Shui. In addition, he has profound attainments in talismans, formations, side doors, weather, terrain and many other aspects. In terms of combat power, fortune tellers are just average, but their knowledge is also quite diverse. Only smart people can achieve attainments in this field. Mu Qi immediately found that the Great Heaven Realm was different from before, and began to set up the chessboard on the ground and deduce the changes. The first time he was interrupted halfway, which consumed a lot of his energy. The second time, he set up the chessboard again and invited Mu Shu to help.
The two of them worked together to deduce, sitting at the two ends of the chessboard, like chess players playing a game. This is another use of the world in chess, but Mu Qi never had the opportunity to show it to others. However, even so, he was still frustrated again and again. The more he deduced, the more complicated it felt, and finally he simply put away the magic and gave up. Mu Shu vaguely guessed that these changes were caused by the disorder of the destiny between heaven and earth. But why the destiny of heaven and earth was disordered, why it was disordered, and who did it, he could not guess at all.
On this day, heavy snow fell from the sky, and it was extremely cold. In a short while, the ground was covered with white snow. The roads on the ground and the trees on the mountain were gradually covered with silver clothes. The monks' ability to resist cold is much higher than that of ordinary people, but when they are in the cold weather, they will always feel cold all over their bodies and want to put on more clothes to keep warm.
In front of the Heart-Searching Bridge, hundreds of warriors lit their own fires, and they were already feeling irritable and depressed. It was clear that the sky and the earth were all white, but it was also a rare and beautiful snow scene, but no one was in the mood to appreciate it. It was inevitable. Their life spans were already short. They heard that the Great Heaven Realm of the Mu Mansion had not been integrated into the world for a long time, and that it might contain the secret of immortality or the white jade immortal fruit, so they spent a lot of time searching for it. After going through hardships and paying an unknown price, they finally entered the Great Heaven Realm, but found that they were very likely to return empty-handed. No matter who came, it would be difficult to accept it.
He had been waiting in front of the Bridge of Inquiry for more than ten days, and his mood was getting more and more depressed and angry. It was not right to give up, and there was no way to move forward. Everyone seemed to be imprisoned in a prison. Moreover, since a few days ago, the weather has been unpredictable, and now it is snowing heavily, making the people who have been trapped for a long time regard all these things as difficulties and obstacles, and obstacles to seeking the truth. If he didn't slap them away, it would be considered a great mercy, so how could he appreciate them?
Although people hated the heavy snow that came without warning and froze people's skin and hair, when the snow continued to fall for several days, some people were surprised to find that the thick fog that had enveloped the Heart-to-Heart Bridge had dissipated due to the heavy snow.
Looking towards the Heart-Reading Bridge, you can see farther and farther, clearly see the white jade bridge, the bricks and tiles, and the footprints of those who stepped on it, some light, some heavy, some firm, some hesitant. One zhang, two zhang, three zhang... The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the view became farther and farther.
Mu Shu and Mu Qi also discovered this feature. Mu Shu said, "The Bridge of Questioning the Heart, the Bridge of Questioning the Heart. The human heart is hard to predict, so it is always wrapped in fog, making it hard to see or understand. Now that the fog has dissipated, is it due to the change in the weather, or is it because someone has figured out their true heart? Or is it both?"
Mu Qi said, "It's because of luck." He said, "The thick fog in the bridge seems to be condensed by luck, similar to a simplified version of a luck suppressor. Now the luck in the Great Heaven Realm has changed greatly, causing the fog that originally condensed here to dissipate little by little."
The two climbed to the top of the mountain and looked towards the Heart-Searching Bridge. When the thick fog retreated more than ten feet, they finally saw a figure. The man looked old and withered. He was a disciple of the Mu Mansion. He was tricked into climbing the bridge. When he first stepped on it, he didn't feel that his heart was broken, but after only ten feet, it was almost completely shattered.
All his cultivation also dissipated like the thick fog. He was barely alive, sitting on the bridge to rest. He was not completely dead yet, but his fate was already sealed.
As the thick fog dissipated, it was clear enough to see the distance of more than 20 feet. Two disciples of the Mu Mansion were seen sitting cross-legged in front and behind each other, their foreheads covered with sweat, and they were chanting the meditation mantra very quickly.
The situation of the two was much better than that of the man ten feet away, and they were still forcing themselves to keep their minds steady. However, there were wolves in front and tigers behind. Even if they left the Heart-Searching Bridge, the hundreds of strong men outside the bridge would certainly not let them go easily.
Therefore, after one of them stabilized his body, he took a few steps, but suddenly he spat out a mouthful of blood, and his breath suddenly became weak.
When the thick fog dispersed again, only a hundred feet could be seen. Many of Mu Mansion's disciples were either sitting in meditation or their cultivation was damaged. Almost none of them could step onto the bridge safely.
At the bridge, someone mocked, "This Mu Mansion is so mysterious, how could its disciples be so incompetent? I thought we could at least walk a hundred feet, but now, we've only walked less than fifty feet and more than twenty people are trapped."
"Just from the perspective of this Heart-Searching Bridge, the people in the Mu Mansion are probably just famous in vain. Even the Mu Patriarch is a secretive person. With the great situation in the world today, the Mu Patriarch's cultivation should be quite high, but he has not shown up until now. I think he wants to take over alone."
"But the Immortal Muqin is also like this. I heard that when she first established the River Mother Temple, she saw the flood submerging the city but did nothing, and was known as someone who would not save a city. In Qingyu or even the four southern regions, I dare not talk about this, for fear that Muqin would hear it and harm me."
...People had different opinions, and most of them were denouncing the people in the Mu Mansion. They had completely forgotten that they were not good people, but they preferred to denounce others.
After these remarks, many cultivators in the field joined in the discussion. Many of their experiences in the Great Heaven Realm had already made them angry towards the disciples of the Mu Mansion.
The thick fog dissipated again. At a distance of 150 feet, a figure finally appeared.
It was a middle-aged man in a monk's robe, he walked unsteadily, step by step, into the depths. Mu Shu said the man's name, this man's name is Mu Nan, one of the Mu family's geniuses, after leaving the Mu family early, it was time to join the Buddhist sect. This Buddhist practice has lasted for thousands of years, and now he has stepped onto this bridge of self-examination.
Mu Shu said: "This person must have stepped in voluntarily."
Mu Qi asked: "How do you know?"
Mu Shu was too lazy to explain in detail and only vaguely told Mu Qi that Mu Nan also knew that the disciples of the Mu Mansion had a gap in their Taoism, so after leaving the Mu Mansion, he devoted himself to practicing Buddhism in an attempt to make up for the gap in his Taoism.
He has practiced Buddhism for many years just for this purpose, so even if his spiritual energy is exhausted, he will definitely take this journey.
At this point, Mu Shu suddenly paused, thinking of something, and slapped his thigh, saying, "Yes, I should have thought of it earlier, why didn't I think of it!"
Mu Qi looked over and asked, "What did you think of?"
Mu Shu said: "Senior Sister! Senior Sister must have gone in a long time ago!"
The voice just fell.
The mist dissipated again. Five hundred feet away, a woman appeared. Her steps were not slow, but firm.
