Chapter 240 – Two Heavens and Two Earths

Taking leave of Yuan Zhong to leave Flying Heron Mountain, they had gone up the mountain by taking the front mountain, and now they were coming down from the back mountain. At the foot of the mountain in this direction, a meditation nunnery could be seen from afar.

Xue Mu stopped to take a look, shook his head and continued walking. Mu Jianli quietly followed beside him and softly asked, “Didn’t Senior Sister Zhu invite you for a while? Aren’t you going to meet her?”

“For the time being, I’m not in the mood for side events, not to mention that she’s more than likely not there, she should have gone with the team to the plague zone …… She likes to make a splash.”

Mu Jianli inclined her head to look at him, lost her smile and said, “So she really has …… something with you really didn’t expect it.”

Xue Mu was a little embarrassed and did not answer.

Mu Jianli pulled his hand and said softly, “Why be embarrassed, should have known what you are.”

Xue Mu changed the topic and said, “You being with me affects your cultivation, and I don’t know how to solve this problem. I’ll ask Curry Night later and see what ideas she has.”

Mu Jianli smiled faintly, “Why bother. Screw the sword and Rudra!”

Xue Mu also laughed.

Mu Jianli added: “Besides, when I’m by your side, Jianli feels that her vision and mind have become broader, so maybe there’s something to be gained from practicing cultivation.”

Xue Mu laughed and said, “Are you not saying good words to coax me?”

Mu Jianli shook her head, what she said was true.

Today, she had always listened in and felt very knowledgeable. She had once wandered the countryside, her white clothes stained with blood, and she had also traveled thousands of miles to worship the sword and ask for the hearts of the people. But none of them seemed to have seen as much as this morning.

Because the perspective is elevated.

In the past to practice, just the eyes, just the heart of the feeling, the thought is only in the square inch. That is the so-called look at the world, but also to think about the way of other families, study the entanglement of forces, the righteousness of the devil’s debate, the division of the dynasty and the countryside, that is the so-called world.

But today, I feel like I’m floating in the sky with Xue Mu, looking at the world from the clouds, observing the multitudes of beings, and thinking about the cornerstones of the existence of the entire human world.

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

If they were not Buddhas, how could they have this high perspective of universalization of all beings?

They were all considered to be people in the situation, as if they were at the bottom of a well, looking up to see the sky, and the sky they could see was only as big as the mouth of the well. And the traveler is not in the well, naturally will think about the world in the perspective of the spectator, Xue Mu feel that what he said is very ordinary, but do not know in the heart of Yuan Zhong and Mu Jian Li, he is simply a square inch can be contained within the mass. If this isn’t Zen, who is?

Xue Mu himself obviously does not feel that he has this compulsion, he always feel that this heron state trip things are too much to cope with, quite a sense of anxiety, where can still feel that he is more remarkable.

Back to Tian Xiang Lou, Tian Xiang Lou is closed today. Yue Xiaochan and the others sat in the backyard and exchanged stories about the experiences of both sides over the past months, while obviously waiting for Xue Mu’s next move. Seeing Xue Mu returning with Mu Jianli, Yue Xiaochan smiled, “Have you met Yuan Zhong?”

“Uh-huh.” Xue Mu laughed, “This monk is okay, not quite the same as the Buddha Stick I originally expected.”

Yue Xiaochan sighed, “The reason why the righteous sects are righteous, they naturally have redeeming qualities, if you presuppose your expectations to look at them at the level of our Devil Sect, you will naturally elevate his image.”

Xue Mu laughed, “You also know that you have a bad image?”

Yue Xiaochan leisurely said, “Do you think everyone doesn’t know why they are called devils? It’s just that they think that their own path is right, and they are determined to go on with it. You take him as having a good image, but I say that’s a mundane view, my image is the better one, it’s just that mortals don’t understand!”

Xue Mu nodded, that hit the nail on the head, the attractive thing about the Devil Sect in this world was that they were very clear about what they were doing and how others saw them. As for whether the Dao was right or not, that was another matter, who dared to judge whoever was definitely right and whoever was definitely wrong?

He naturally wouldn’t judge this, and just laughed, “That’s why I see you as cute, showing that I’m not a mortal.”

The Star Moon Sect sisters all smiled with their palms, “You’re the Grand Master of our sect, who dares to say you’re a mortal.”

As they spoke, their eyes were glancing towards Mu Jianli. Originally thought that Mu Jian Li would look a little undecided after hearing the shameless boasting of the Devil Sect, right? Unexpectedly, she actually smiled lightly and stood quietly by Xue Mu’s side, not caring at all.

The girls laughed for a while and also all felt bored, so they asked, “What do we do next?”

Xue Mu’s expression became serious: “This time, it’s by no means a natural disaster, I’m afraid there’s a conspiracy waiting for me. Xiaochan settle down, above Huan Yun follow me to the plague area.”

Yue Xiaochan lost her voice, “It’s not so bad, right?”

Above Huan Yun! This was the top power of the Jianghu, there were countless Starry Moon Demonesses in the Heavenly Fragrance Tower, and the only ones who had reached this level were Curry Night Yue Xiaochan Zhuo Qingqing, as well as Qin Li, who presided over this place, plus Mu Jianli by Xue Mu’s side.

Even Luo Qianxue didn’t reach it said ……

Xue Mu said seriously, ”I have a premonition that there will be a crisis ahead. Moreover, Xie Changsheng’s underground palace has educated us that there’s no point in having too many people. Qin Li stayed behind to bring people to guard this place, and guarding the Star Luo Formation is also important, the others follow me.”

Yue Xiaochan frowned.

Curry Night’s expression, which had been smiling and laughing, changed into a trifle.

Xue Mu’s guts had always been quite big, his cultivation was weak as dregs, but he still dared to save Xue Qingqiu, dared to go and watch people fight the Black Jiao, dared to go along with the team to attack Xie Changsheng, and dared to face Qin Wuyi head on. But this time the surface of the heron state looks calm, looks like containment are all right look, Meng Fei Bai also set up a banquet to invite guests, Yuan Zhong also came back to discuss Zen, on the surface should not have anything at all …… but Xue Mu this time is actually so solemn, indicating that this matter is too high in the importance of his heart, so high that the alarm bells are ringing.

Zhuo Qingqing took a deep breath and stood beside Xue Mu: “Then it’s not too late, let’s set off.”

Luo Qianxue whimpered and grabbed Mu Jianli: “You guys call this the bride entering the room, the matchmaker throwing over the wall ……”

Mu Jianli pursed her lips, not even knowing how to answer. She also didn’t know that Xue Mu watched and Yuan Zhong played mouth to mouth, and actually held such a big worry in his heart, no wonder Zhu Chen Yao didn’t go to see ……

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

The plague started in the southeast seashore, from the outskirts of the southeastern city of Heron State is just a few hundred miles, the plague spread, short of more than a hundred miles to Heron State, due to the disposal of the Blameless Temple method, coupled with the Yuan Zhong to the supreme power of the raw suppression, did not spread into the city.

In the medical fairy Xiao Qingwu came, the epidemic is even more effective containment, now the epidemic area is in the continuous compression, the distance from the heron state city more and more far.

But the migrated people have not returned, people’s livelihood has not been restored. The crowd went all the way, still saw a barren and depressed, the fields are deserted, houses are dilapidated. The corpses have long been packed away, and mass graves can be seen everywhere, with messy stone monuments on them, and burnt and charred traces on the hillocks.

Wild crows fly down, mournful voice cries, a hundred miles of no one, rags fluttering, everywhere is the sound of the sluggish wind, whistling. Standing on the hillock and looking into the distance, white streamers rise up in the distance, paper money is filled with the sky, enough to make mortals afraid. I really don’t know how much more heart-wrenching things I can see when I’m there in person.

Compare that time Meng Fei Bai’s windy feast, all the people’s hearts are a sigh of relief.

Listening to a plague, the general public also “oh” a little bit not much feeling, without witnessing it really do not know what this scene, it is difficult to have any sense of urgency.

Even Xue Mu hadn’t thought about it before, this city outside of the city, but only a hundred miles, it is already a twofold heaven and earth.
