Chapter 639: Ascending the Stage
Li Changxiao could not help but stop and ponder. This footprint left a mark on the snow, which was full of unique Taoist connotations, making it difficult for the wind and snow to cover it. This showed how deep this person's Taoism was. It should be noted that before the spiritual energy was exhausted, there were many people with golden lotuses growing with every step, three flowers gathering on the top of their heads, golden light surrounding their bodies, and strange phenomena following them. However, after the spiritual energy was exhausted, all the strange phenomena disappeared overnight, and their spirits and methods were cut off, and their roots were cut off.
Under the current circumstances, only a powerful person at the fusion stage can leave a trace of the Dao in a single footprint. However, a powerful person at the fusion stage has a very thorough understanding of the Dao. If he wants to hide it, he can be no different from an ordinary mortal and will not leave a single footprint.
Zhao Qing said: "Is there someone else on this island? Is it Old Ancestor Mu?" Zhao Qing thought of the secrets of the Mu Mansion that Li Changxiao had told her when they talked before. The person trapped on the Long Bridge of Inquiry is Old Ancestor Mu.
Li Changxiao shook his head. He dared not make a rash conclusion based on a single footprint. He would never dare to speculate arrogantly about the principles of Mu Patriarch's actions. But he had a doubt in his mind. The Yin-Yang Fish Display Platform in the Heaven and Earth Plate had the Taoist practice of Mu Patriarch. At least it showed that Mu Patriarch had really asked for the way of the heart and sent it to the Heaven and Earth Plate.
Li Changxiao thought to himself: "Could it be that when Ancestor Mu teleported the Heaven and Earth Plate, he was also trapped by it and finally had to return to the island?" This conjecture was by no means nonsense. Because of Ancestor Mu's Taoism, he once asked Li Changxiao for help and asked Li Changxiao to help him escape.
This means that even though it was Ancestor Mu who created the Heaven and Earth Plate, it was not entirely under his control. His level of Taoism was still trapped in the plate, unable to escape, so how could his real body enter and exit freely?
If we follow this assumption and make further deductions, it is no wonder that Patriarch Mu felt sorry for himself. He finally managed to escape from the path of self-examination, but his whole body was trapped between heaven and earth. What a setback.
Li Changxiao sighed softly. After he mastered the Heaven and Earth Plate and gradually became familiar with it, he found that this plate was not without drawbacks. Using the heaven and earth as a cage was indeed a unique idea. The higher the cultivation level, the smaller the heaven and earth seemed, and the more trapped they were. On the contrary, if the cultivation level was lower, it would be like a mortal. When a mortal looked up at the sky, the heaven and earth were so vast that it would be difficult to travel through even one ten-thousandth of them with all their life experience. How could there be a "cage"? Naturally, the Heaven and Earth Plate was like another world for them, and they could enter and exit freely.
Ancestor Mu was trapped by both the world and his own cultivation. Li Changxiao quickened his pace, climbed the thirty-six steps, and stood on the platform, looking in all directions.
Seeing that the island was quite large, surrounded by water on all sides, with only a bridge for the heart to enter and exit, Li Changxiao thought to himself: "Ancestor Mu was plotted against by the Divine Calculation Sect. If that's the case, this island of heart to ask must be extraordinary."
He looked around, and then Zhao Qing moved slightly, lying on Li Changxiao's back, with a look of attachment. She said, "If you can't find it, forget it, my heart has already found the way."
"How can you not find it? What's yours is yours. I have nothing to do." Li Changxiao said. He noticed that Zhao Qing looked better and recovered a lot, so he asked her if she wanted to come down and see the scenery here. Zhao Qing hesitated for a while, nodded gently, got off Li Changxiao's back, and looked into the distance. This Wenxin Island is really another world. Although it is a small island, it is very vast, with beautiful flowers and lively birds. Although the fog is thick and adds a bit of depression, it can't hide the scenery of the island.
Zhao Qing said, "I really don't know why the ancestor wants to leave. I think it's good." Li Changxiao said pragmatically, "It's beautiful, but if you stay longer, you will inevitably feel bored. It's normal to leave." Zhao Qing said again, "If it were me, I would not leave. This island is so quiet. I can meditate and practice by myself. It's great."
Zhao Qing suddenly joked, "If I set up a Zhao Mansion, I will definitely not steal other people's fruits, but every once in a while, I can catch some interesting people to relieve boredom, right? Most of the scenery in the world is not similar, and it is enough to see it once. But some people need to be seen for a long time, and it is not enough to see them."
As she spoke, she was looking towards the beautiful island, but a figure appeared in her mind. Li Chang smiled and said, "Then you have to look for the Dao fruit even more. If you live longer, won't you be able to see longer?" Zhao Qing nodded, but her expression could not hide her loneliness, and she obviously didn't hold much hope.
Mu Qin, who had few emotions and few desires, was not afraid of death, but she also wanted to live. Now that Zhao Qing had returned to being a mortal, she was full of attachment, so how could she want to die? But things were beyond one's control. She had been like this before, and she was like this now. If there was a future, she would probably still be like this.
Li Changxiao explored the Dao platform for about half an hour, and was disappointed. There was no Dao fruit in the platform. If he guessed correctly, this platform was built by Mu Laozu, and it was a simple Yin-Yang fish platform. It was because of the existence of this platform that the luck in the island of inquiry was vaguely connected with the "Heaven and Earth Plate", the luck suppressing device.
Only with the help of luck can one jump over the Heart-Searching Bridge and be transported. Although there is no Dao fruit in the Dao platform, the effort is not in vain, and seeing this scenery is also a reward. However, the Dao platform is towering, with 36 steps, each step leading to the blue sky. It is difficult for ordinary people to cross one step. People with less Taoism will find it difficult to move forward after more than ten steps. Moreover, after climbing to a high place, the cold wind is biting, and it is not a place to stay for a long time. Zhao Qing's mortal body, even with the two breezes left by Li Changxiao to protect his body, is still inevitably cold.
If he gets seriously ill again, it will be even worse. Li Changxiao pulled Zhao Qing and jumped lightly, then he landed from the platform. After landing safely, Zhao Qing wanted to say something but stopped. He really missed the feeling of being carried on his back, which was quite warm and reassuring, but if he didn't mention it, he seemed to be hesitant to say something.
She didn't know whether it was the backlash of the technique or her nature. Or why bother to distinguish whether it was the backlash of the technique or her nature, it was ultimately her emotion. Li Changxiao carried her on his back with both hands, and Zhao Qing's mouth curled up. Thinking back, she felt that she was really weird. She didn't even want him to see her feet just now, but now she wanted him to carry her on his back.
But after thinking about it again, he felt that it was not that he didn't want Li Changxiao to see his feet, he was just too shy and felt awkward and ashamed. But besides that, he was probably hiding a hint of joy.
"I am so complicated." Zhao Qing sighed in his heart. While he was daydreaming, he saw Li Changxiao push open the door of the palace again and walk into the hall. But this time, he was not trying to avoid the wind and snow, but to explore the most core old things in the Mu Mansion.
