Master comes down the mountain, I don’t know martial arts, but I am an immortal

The yard suddenly became quiet, and even the sound of the sycamore leaves falling to the ground became so clear.

People looked at the luminous token and the celestial road in the void that led to nowhere in shock.

"Li Muchen, do you understand?" Dongfang's messenger asked expressionlessly.

Li Muchen knelt on the ground.

His face was very calm, looking at the light of the sky, his eyes were as calm as an ancient well.

After being silent for a long time, he kowtowed respectfully, and then said: "Senior Brother Dongfang, please forgive me for not obeying your order."

The messenger from the East was slightly shocked: "Are you going to disobey the master's order?"

"No, I did not disobey the master's orders. The master asked me to go down the mountain to practice and look for opportunities in the world of mortals. Before I came down from the mountain, the master made it very clear that he asked me to end my earthly fate, break through the innate world, and then return to the capital. Now my earthly fate is not over yet. , The innate nature is not broken, and I dare not return to the mountain to recover my life."

Li Muchen is not a clever quibbler. The truth behind the Li family's destruction has not yet been fully clarified. The whereabouts of his parents are unknown, and their life and death are uncertain. Naturally, their fate is still unresolved.

Although he has experienced three levels of thunder tribulation, his innate soul has been sealed by his senior brother, so he cannot be considered as having achieved a breakthrough in innateness.

The messenger from the East frowned slightly and shook the token in his hand: "Seeing this order is like seeing the Immortal Lord! The Immortal Lord has entered the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, and the senior brother will be in charge of the immortal sect. If you disobey the senior brother, it is equivalent to disobeying the master's order. .”

Li Muchen said: "Master often said that the Tao comes first, and good things should be followed. If what Senior Brother said is right, how could I disobey it? But the order that Senior Brother Dongfang just gave me, and the charges that were imposed on me, I don't admit to any of them. . I am innocent, how can I go back to the mountain to be punished? What’s more, when my senior brother sealed my innate soul, he told me to break his seal and then return to the mountain. Now that the seal is still there, I dare not and cannot Go back to the mountain."

"Hmph, what a clever argument!" The messenger from the East looked solemn and said in a deep voice, "Are you really going to disobey my order and refuse to follow me back to the mountain?"

Li Muchen was about to answer when he suddenly heard a sweet voice: "Wait a minute!"

A beautiful shadow flashed across the sky, and Xiang Wanqing appeared in the yard.

"Senior Brother Dongfang, wait a moment, let me and Junior Brother Muchen have a few words." Xiang Wanqing looked at Dongfang's messenger and said.

Dongfang nodded slightly.

Xiang Wanqing turned around, raised her hand and drew a circle in the air, and an invisible barrier formed in the void, surrounding her and Li Muchen.

"Mu Chen, listen to senior sister and go back. Senior brother won't really embarrass you. At most, you can just sit back and think about your mistakes, and treat it as a retreat to practice."

"Senior sister, I can't go back. If I go back now, my Taoist heart will be destroyed." Li Muchen said.

Xiang Wanqing frowned and said: "Mu Chen, you are too stubborn. Are you so determined to stick to the Tao you have learned now? Are you sure that the Tao you have learned now is the true Tao? What if you are wrong?"

"If I am wrong, God will punish me." Li Muchen looked up at the sky, "But what if God is wrong? Who will punish God?"

Xiang Wanqing's body trembled imperceptibly, with a look of shock on her face: "Mu Chen, don't fall into the devil's path!"

Li Muchen smiled and said: "Senior sister, do you think I look like a devil?"

Xiang Wanqing stamped her foot and said in a hateful voice: "You guy, let me talk to you properly and stop being such a mouthful. It's making me mad! Do you know how much turmoil your non-Tian remarks caused in Xuanmen when word spread?" shock?"

Li Muchen nodded: "I know."

"Then do you know that more than a dozen sects have complained to Tiandu, saying that you spread evil ways and confuse people's hearts. Now that the master is in the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation, the senior brother is acting as the head. You are a disciple of Tiandu, and in front of you Regarding the world's public opinion, what do you want Senior Brother to do? Are you going to ignore the world's public opinion?"

Xiang Wanqing hated the fact that iron could not become steel, and her tone was anxious and worried.

"You also know that those who can complain to Tiandu are all major Xuanmen sects, and many of those who came forward this time are old monsters who have not appeared for hundreds of years, and some are even older and senior than the senior brother. Big. With their reputation, the senior brother has to give face. Coupled with your remarks and your background..."

Xiang Wanqing was about to speak but stopped.

Li Muchen said: "It is precisely because of my background that I can't go back at this time. I have to figure things out. But I didn't expect that so many Xuanmen seniors came out of the mountain at the same time. It seems that this day is true It’s going to change…”

Xiang Wanqing said anxiously: "You are still in the mood to ignore the changes in the world! Alas, have you ever thought about the consequences if you don't go back this time?"

"It's nothing more than Senior Brother expelling me from the school, and then issuing an order from Heaven to declare me a demon, and the whole world will punish me together!" Li Muchen said.

Xiang Wanqing shook his head and said: "Eldest Brother should not be so ruthless. This time he asked Dongfang to give you an order, and he only asked you to go back to the mountain to accept your crime and be punished. He did not say that he would expel you. Perhaps, Eldest Brother's original intention is also What about a kind of protection for you? As long as you go back to Tiandu, who can control whether you will be punished or not?"

"But if you don't go back, your current situation will be very dangerous. If you don't obey the orders of Tiandu, if anything happens in the future, neither Senior Brother nor us will be able to protect you. By then, if the whole world rises up to attack, , how do you face it?"

"Senior sister, I understand your good intentions. I can also understand the difficulties of senior brother. Master often said that the heart of cultivating the Tao should be as strong as a rock and as constant as the sun and the moon. Our Taoist heart is determined, no matter what we face, we will never Those who retreat. In pursuit of the truth, why should we be afraid of having our bodies shattered into pieces?"

"This time they are not ordinary people, they are all old monsters that have not been born for hundreds of years! Okay, even if you are not afraid, what about the people around you? Have you forgotten what happened to the Li family twenty years ago?"

Li Muchen felt a pain in his heart and said: "It is precisely because of what happened twenty years ago that I have strengthened my Taoist heart. If I retreat, this kind of thing will happen again thousands of times in the world. It is okay to endure it for a while and give in." Temporarily quelling the crisis, but it cannot solve it. Only by facing it bravely, without fear of life and death, facing its root cause and fundamentally changing it, can the tragedy never happen again."

Xiang Wanqing looked at Li Muchen in astonishment. For a long time, his eyes slowly showed a bit of appreciation and a bit of regret.

"Oh, well, it seems that senior sister can't persuade you, you have grown up!" Her voice became gentler, "Mu Chen, listen to senior sister, you must protect yourself, don't act out of anger, remember, Tiandu will always be your home! If the world can no longer accommodate you, come back. Senior brother won't let you in, but senior sister will let you in. At worst, you'll just be punished!"

Li Muchen was a little moved and said, "Sister, don't worry, I will take good care of myself."

Xiang Wanqing nodded, waved his hand to remove the invisible barrier, and said to the Dongfang messenger: "Forget it, I can't persuade him. But you can't touch him today. If you want to touch him, you have to get through me first."

Dongfang remained expressionless and said, "I was just following orders. The acting head didn't ask me to arrest anyone. It's up to him whether he goes or not."

Then he asked Li Muchen, "Are you really disobeying the order and not returning?"

Li Muchen said: "I can't go."

Dongfang said: "Okay, then I will go back and return. But let me remind you, if the acting head orders me to come and get you again, I will not be so polite when we meet again. In addition, failing to return in violation of the order is tantamount to If you abandon yourself to Heaven, God may not care about you if anything happens in the future."

"Thank you, Senior Brother Dongfang, for the reminder."

Li Muchen bowed.

He knew that from now on, without the protection of Tiandu, those who wanted to kill him would be able to take action without any scruples.
