Chapter 162
Chapter 162
Le Zheng Shuiling and Le Zheng Qiming were in high spirits. They went to bed early and got up late for several days in a row, wishing to make up for all the time they had wasted in the past.
During this period, they not only had to receive instruction from Yue Zhengzhi, but also received martial arts guidance from Yue Zhengquan. Occasionally, they would challenge Nangong Lin and pester him to teach them a few moves.
Le Zheng Yuhua hadn't seen Mu Xin for several days. He only heard Yin Li tell him not to worry, but he still thought about her occasionally. He was distracted for a moment and was almost hurt by Le Zheng Shuiling.
Le Zheng Shuiling came over to apologize. Le Zheng Yuhua seemed to sense that Mu Xin had woken up, and his mind was instantly attracted away. Le Zheng Shuiling pushed him twice before he came to his senses. Then he said that he was a little tired and wanted to take a break, so that she and Le Zheng Qiming could practice first.
Today is also the day that Nangong Haoyue is preparing to return to Donghai Pavilion. After waiting for several days without seeing any signs of Mu Xin waking up, she became concerned about Donghai Pavilion and finally decided to leave.
When Le Zheng Yuhua learned about this, he went over to see him off as the host.
When they reached the door, they exchanged a few polite words. Le Ying hurried over to tell Yun Xiu that Mu Xin had woken up and wanted to see Nangong Haoyue alone.
When Nangong Haoyue heard this, she thought about how she had been waiting for several days, and she agreed immediately without waiting for Yunxiu to repeat it, so Yunxiu had no choice but to take her there.
Le Zheng Yuhua originally wanted to ask about Mu Xin's situation, but Le Ying saw what he was thinking and came over to tell him not to worry, saying that Mu Xin was fine.
Le Zheng Yuhua wanted to refute her, but she really wanted to know about Mu Xin's situation. She felt too guilty to refute, so she could only act indifferent and turned to find Le Zheng Shuiling and the others.
Nangong Lin had nowhere to go, so he followed Le Zheng Yuhua.
Le Zheng Yuhua couldn't understand why he became more and more concerned about Mu Xin in just a few days, and why he cared about her and worried about her. Soon he found another reason. It was because she had the same name and looked somewhat similar to Sanye, so he subconsciously mistook Mu Xin for Sanye.
After thinking about this, he touched his chest and felt much better.
Yun Xiu brought Nangong Haoyue into Mu Xin's room. Mu Xin was sitting on the windowsill. A table and chairs had been prepared beside her, with a cup of tea and a plate of cakes on the table.
Yun Xiu invited Nangong Haoyue in, but remembering that Le Ying wanted to meet her alone, she consciously left.
Nangong Haoyue watched Yun Xiu leave. Before Mu Xin said anything, she looked around.
There are not many decorations in the house, nor are there any valuable items placed inside.
She looked for a while, then sat down with her hand on the back of the chair. Looking at the tea and pastries on the table, she picked up the teacup and took a sip.
Looking up, he saw her still staring out the window. Nangong Haoyue curiously poked his head to look, then he remembered that there was a sea of sand below.
She moved her gaze to Mu Xin's face. Mu Xin's complexion was indeed not looking good, and her eyes were dull, as if she was paralyzed.
Nangong Haoyue was surprised to find that Mu Xin's body was so thin, as if she could be blown away by a gust of wind.
Nangong Haoyue really couldn't bear to question her, but she had been waiting for many days, and her worry about Donghai Pavilion gradually prevailed, and she finally spoke.
"A few days ago, I heard three words..."
"The world of immortality."
Her voice was very soft, but Nangong Haoyue still heard the three words clearly. She originally wanted to ask about the Seven-Star Dragon Abyss Sword, but Changshengjie choked with sobs and couldn't feel relieved until she spoke.
"Miss Xin'er, would you like to talk to me?"
She looked at Mu Xin, and Mu Xin finally turned to look at her with a gentle smile on her face, and soon looked back at the sea of sand.
"I should have gone back home, but now I'm afraid there's nowhere to go back to."
Nangong Haoyue had heard that the Mu Mansion had dispersed all its guests and that Old Mu had resigned from the Taoist Alliance and the position of the head of the Mu Mansion, which meant that the Mu Mansion was no longer a Taoist family of the Taoist Alliance.
At the same time, he and Madam Mu submitted a letter of retirement to the Taoist Alliance, and then disappeared.
Le Zheng Yuhua and the others were still worried about how to tell her about this. As soon as Nangong Haoyue heard this, she understood that Mu Xin had already expected this day.
He also seemed to have a deeper understanding of what Yinli said about the ending of the Mu Mansion. Perhaps all this was part of their plan.
It is precisely because of this that Nangong Haoyue cannot let go of the Changsheng Realm, and becomes unconfident about his ability to defend the Donghai Pavilion.
"You knew already?"
As if holding some expectation, Nangong Haoyue asked this question.
"Without the constraints of the Dao League, there are more things we can do, right?"
"If we lose our restraints, we will also lose our shelter. Besides, if we stick together, we may fight back. If we are scattered, we will be defeated one by one. I don't think this is a wise approach."
"What if the bondage is greater than the shelter?"
Nangong Haoyue looked up and saw that there was a flower in Mu Xin's hand, and he had never seen its appearance before.
Her nose tip touched it gently, and it slowly bloomed, looking very beautiful.
Nangong Haoyue was stunned for a moment and had long forgotten her question. It was not until Mu Xin looked at her that she came to her senses.
"Restriction is more important than protection? What on earth are you planning, Mu Mansion?"
"Someone owes too much, and we are just debt collectors."
"Debt collection? From... the Immortal Realm?"
"more or less."
"What on earth is this immortal world?"
Mu Xin put the flower down and looked into the distance this time.
"Something that some humans pursue."
"What are you pursuing?"
"Compared to other alien races, humans don't have something they want."
Nangong Haoyue was thinking, what is it that the human race doesn't have but wants? At present, there are three alien races that the human race is concerned about. The first is the high and mighty God race, which is the object of pursuit by most human races, and there are also people who want to become a God race.
The second is the demons, but there is more hatred and fear. If there is anything they want to get from the demons, it is probably only their destruction.
The third are the demon clan who have a close relationship with Donghai Pavilion. They are not as concerned about its existence as the demon clan. After all, they were also part of the group that fought against the demon clan. As for what they want to get from the demon clan, Nangong Haoyue can't think of anything except power.
At this moment, Nangong Haoyue suddenly realized two words and said seriously: "Eternal life, what they pursue is immortality." Mu Xin did not deny it. Nangong Haoyue realized that he had guessed right and said even more unbelievably: "Compared with the demons and monsters, the lifespan of the human race is as short as a mayfly.
There are many people who live to be a hundred years old among the common people, but in Taoist families, it is rare to see people who are seventy or eighty years old, let alone a hundred.
Le Zheng Shuiling's great-grandfather was a rare centenarian in the Taoist Alliance, and Old Madam Ge was also in her nineties.
It has been like this since ancient times. Not to mention immortality, there is not even a single human being who can live to be 200 years old.
I can't say that no one is pursuing this thing, I can only say that they are deceiving themselves and pursuing nothing."
"From ancient times to the present, there are people whose life span is over 200 years old. However, such people have long been kicked out by the human race. They are either monsters or demons. This is the rule of the Taoist Alliance."
"For a longer life and greater strength, I would rather discard my human body like a piece of trash. I don't think the rules of the Dao League are wrong."
"I'm not wrong, but some people don't think so. Immortality and immortality, after seeing the leaders of other tribes, it's inevitable that they will feel dissatisfied and jealous.
Why do the demon tribe have demons that have practiced Taoism for thousands of years, but we can’t have Taoists who have practiced Taoism for thousands of years?
How unfair is it for a Taoist who has worked hard for decades to face a demon who has practiced for thousands of years? With such a long history of the human race, it is inevitable that many people have thought about this.
The Changsheng Realm is an organization, like a big family, or even a Taoist alliance. We call its leader the Changsheng Emperor, and everyone below him calls him the Emperor.
What the Immortal Realm pursues, as I just said, is immortality, and what they do is a better immortality. "
"Better immortality?"
"The Immortal Realm is not new. Its history is almost as long as that of the Lezheng and Gongsun families."
"It's been so long?" Nangong Haoyue couldn't believe that an organization could exist in the world for such a long time and still remain unknown. He even doubted Mu Xin's statement and asked, "How can the Immortal Realm make no one in the world know of its existence?"
"You shouldn't be asking me that."
After hearing what she said, Nangong Haoyue wanted to say "If not you, who should I ask?" but couldn't. She suddenly suspected that they had their people in the Taoist Alliance, working for them.
If this is the case, as long as the trouble in the world of immortality is not serious and can be settled, then this person's status should not be low.
"Are there people from the Immortal Realm in the Dao Alliance?"
Mu Xin smiled but did not answer, and Nangong Haoyue knew the answer.
"Can Pavilion Master and Young Pavilion Master forget about the Immortal Realm first?"
"What do you mean?"
"I will protect you at Donghai Pavilion."
"Could it be possible that they would openly attack our Donghai Pavilion?"
"The Pavilion Master will definitely not want to learn from the methods of the Immortal Realm. I, Mu Xin, know very well how many families have been destroyed by them."
"Do you think my Donghai Pavilion will lose to them?"
"The enemy is in the dark while you are in the light. This is the first reason. The enemy's methods are so brutal that Donghai Pavilion cannot do that. This is the second reason. Moreover, Donghai Pavilion really does not have the strength to fight against them. This is the most crucial point.
The Mu family has been targeted for a long time. His father and mother hid in Penglai for several years, but they were eventually discovered.
After discovering the presence of the Immortal Realm on Penglai Island, we chose to stand under everyone's eyes and secretly fight with the Immortal Realm for these years, and although everything seemed peaceful on the surface.
My Mu Mansion has lost quite a few people, but these people are not listed in the Taoist Alliance's records, so you don't know.
The Immortal Realm has been trying to capture me and force my father to submit to them. In order to seize that great opportunity, I am willing to expose my identity and give it a try. Do you know how terrible this plan is?
The marriage between the Mu family and Le Zheng means that the Changsheng Realm has included the entire Le Zheng. If I hadn't arranged for someone, I'm afraid that many people in Le Zheng would have known about the existence of the Changsheng Realm.
Le Zheng is not someone who can be easily bullied. Would he not report this to the alliance or try to save his face?
Then there is a risk of the Immortal Realm being exposed, and the best way to deal with this risk is to kill and silence the witnesses.
The Immortal Realm has always had spies in Lezheng, but the Mu family didn't tell you. Now you should understand the reason, right?"
"Spy? If you know, why don't you tell me? Aunt Fang can still be trusted."
"It's no use saying it."
"It's really as you said. The methods of the Immortal Realm are indeed powerful. Could it be that they have arranged spies in every big family?"
Mu Xin knew exactly what she meant, which was to find out whether there were any spies in the Donghai Pavilion.
"Le Zheng has been targeted by the Immortal Realm for a long time. As one of the families with a long history, Le Zheng poses an unspeakable threat to the Immortal Realm."
"Then why haven't you taken action against Le Zheng yet?"
"I did take action, but it was just a small gesture. I didn't do anything big because Le Zheng still has an irreplaceable role. This is the wisdom of Le Zheng's ancestors."
"Irreplaceable role?" Nangong Haoyue pondered for a moment and said one word in disbelief: "Demon clan?"
