When Mu Xu finished telling his story, the sun seemed to cover the sky outside, Jun Bailu sat on the futon, listening fascinated.

He has listened to the whole story seven or eight times, and although it is not complete, he has already empathized with the people in the story.

Mu Xu scolded him well, he was indeed a disrespectful apprentice, he was raised by his side for so many years, and before the apprentice became famous, the apprentice committed a crime and was punished, leaving the master to wait for him alone.One can imagine the taste, not to mention that he is Mu Xu's only apprentice.

It was rare that Mu Xu was silent for a long time, Jun Bailu raised his head to observe, and found that Mu Xu's eyes were full of tears, and they refused to come out.

Jun Bailu felt a little distressed.

Looking at the situation, it was obvious that the story was sad, and Jun Bailu wanted to say something to comfort her, but she had never even seen what kind of person his apprentice was, so there was no way to comfort her.

At this time, the attention of the sad person must be diverted.

So he walked up to Muxu, raised his head, waved his fingers like a little monster yearning for the prosperity of the world, and said in a very conceited voice: "I, Jun Bailu, have always had great ambitions, that is In the future, I must be a courtier of the emperor and stand out!" After speaking, he laughed exaggeratedly for a long time.

As expected, Mu Xu was amused by Jun Bailu's appearance, and put his hands on the ground, laughing a little weakly.

Jun Bailu was also very cooperative, and while he was laughing, he deliberately made funny moves like a fool, which made Mu Xu laugh out a lot of tears.

When Mu Xu finally stopped laughing, he returned to his normal state, and solemnly said to Mu Xu: "I will be the champion. I will take you to the capital to eat, drink and have fun every day, so that you will be happy every day, so that you will have no time to think about it." Those are bad things."

Mu Xu took a deep breath, slightly relieved the pain in his abdomen from laughing, squeezed the sore muscles on his face, and said unceremoniously: "In a few days, there will be an exam in the town hall, right? How about you on such a big day?" You are still here with me, your dream of being the number one scholar may not be an ideal in your next life."

Jun Bailu replied very arrogantly: "So what, I know both left and right knowledge, and the exam will definitely be fine."

Mu Xu pursed his lips, seeming to sympathize and said: "Although I don't know how your studies are, but at this hour, your father should have returned from the field. If you don't come home until noon... I don't know if your father will how to think?"

Jun Bailu's face turned slightly pale, and he puffed out his chest and struggled to retain the last of his dignity: "Then... so what! I won't be afraid of my father!"

Mu Xu covered his mouth with a smile and said, "I remember that the exams in the township hall seem to be related to the number of places in the capital exam next year. Based on this alone, do you think your father will let you go? Alas, our dignified No. It's strange to be cleaned up by his father."

Jun Bailu lowered his head and ran away in despair.

Later, Jun Bailu was caught by his father on the way home, and he was ordered not to leave the house until the exam results were released, so he could only study hard at home for a few days with his books in hand.

I don't know if the hard study in those few days was useful, and he performed supernormally and won the first place, and successfully became a Juren.

This day, Jun Bailu excitedly ran to the small Taoist temple after reading the list, planning to be the first to announce the good news to Mu Xu, so that he could praise himself, but before entering the courtyard, he heard a strange voice talking to Mu Xu .

Jun Bailu thought for a while, then walked in.

The person who came was a young man in golden jade and luxurious clothes, with a temperament that was not angry and self-imposing. Jun Bailu secretly compared it, and found that against the background of the Dao Temple, the strange man looked like a god nine days away, while Mu Xu was just a fool. The abducted third-rate Taoist priest.

Seeing him coming, Mu Xu nodded to him as a greeting, and continued chatting with the strange man.

Jun Bailu was already very familiar with this place, so he took a handful of melon seeds from the desk, and simply sat on the side knocking melon seeds while waiting for Mu Xu.

Knocking and knocking, he heard some conversations.

"I blocked all the immortal energy, how did you find me?"

"It's a coincidence that I just finished solving the business at that time, and I saw a person in the lower realm holding Lao Gao's hand pointing to the sky. I didn't pay attention at first, but later I saw him holding it up and making some very incomprehensible things. I felt a little curious about the move, so I glanced at the lower realm, and just in time, I saw you laughing and rolling beside him."

"...And then you came down directly?"

"No, I deliberately took the time to avoid him coming, but something small happened again, so it was delayed."

"Why do I feel like you're describing a private meeting..."

"This was originally a secret meeting."

"??"

"I came down to meet you secretly behind the back of the gods in the sky. If it's not a secret, what is it?"

"..."

Jun Bailu's hands holding the melon seeds trembled, and he took the melon seeds and shells into his mouth. With a lick of his tongue, he accurately spit out the melon seeds, and swallowed the rest.

Mu Xu, who happened to witness this wonderful scene at the side, was obviously a little surprised, he said: "I have been with you for so long, I don't know that you are so good..."

Jun Bailu suddenly realized that he had eaten the melon seed husk and got it in, and hurriedly wanted to spit it out. At this time, the melon seed husk had already reached the position of his throat, and if he couldn't get it down, his throat was itchy.

Jun Bailu covered her mouth and coughed violently.

Mu Xu walked over and patted him on the back. When Jun Bailu recovered, a young man beside him also came over and asked Mu Xu, "I think he was upset just now, which is a sign of sudden death. Are you Which spell was used to bring him back?"

Jun Bailu: "!!!" So I'm so close to death! !

Mu Xu: "Actually, there is no magic to save him, but if you continue, he may really be about to die suddenly... the kind that can't be saved by magic."

Young man: "..."

Jun Bailu: I often feel out of place with you because I am not a god.

The Taoist temple was very dilapidated, Mu Xu searched for a long time, and there were only two dirty and tattered futons, which were very difficult to take out.

In the end, it was the strange man, Mu Xu's friend, Chao Zhang Shenjun, who conjured up a whole set of furniture to fill the Taoist temple with a wave of his big hand. He asked Mu Xu: "Why don't you live alone? Casting spells, have you forgotten all about it?"

Mu Xu just laughed and didn't answer.

Jun Bailu couldn't stop talking, after eating the melon seeds, he ate the fruit, taking advantage of the interval between chewing food, to announce the happiness.He lowered his eyes, as if he didn't care about the achievement, but his tail of asking for credit was raised high.

Seeing him like this, Mu Xu replied indifferently: "Well, you did a good job."

Jun Bailu looked up at him in shock, her face full of disbelief.

This is... the end?

Mu Xu laughed and said, "You want me to praise you, right?"

Jun Bailu nodded honestly rarely.

Mu Xu thought for a while, and said frankly: "To be honest, I don't have anything particularly good to give you here, why don't I let Chao Zhang transform it for you?"

Chao Zhang sat on the side, a little startled and said, "Why do you ask me to give it?"

Mu Xu grabbed Chao Zhang with one hand, and said, "I'll give you a melon, what will you give me?"

Chao Zhang thought about it carefully, took out two small walnut fruits, and said with some heartache: "These two fruits are treasures just given to me by others. Immortals can increase merit and mortals can increase happiness and longevity. Although they are not many, But you can save some merit, you can take it, be careful not to die so easily."

Jun Bailu suddenly felt his throat itch again.

Chao Zhang picked up the melon brought by Muxu and ate it with heartache. While eating, he recalled: "In the past, when Muxu was still a little apprentice under the seat of the Great God, the Great God liked to entertain people with melons. At that time, I often saw The great god pulled him out to show off, boasting that he has high aptitude and a stable mind, and that in time he can become the pillar of the heavens, it's a pity—"

Mu Xu rolled his eyes at Chao Zhang, who immediately lowered his head and concentrated on eating melons. Jun Bailu began to ask curiously, "What's the pity?"

Chao Zhang didn't dare to answer directly, and kicked the ball to Muxu.

Jun Bailu then showed Mu Xu a pair of big watery eyes.

Mu Xu raised his eyebrows, thought for a while, and said, "My master, an old man, has returned to chaos, and he can't see his disciples and grandchildren."

Jun Bailu was a little confused when he heard that, Chao Zhang hurriedly explained: "According to ordinary people, he just passed away."

After hearing this, Jun Bailu was surprised and said, "Isn't a god..."

Mu Xu glanced at them, but didn't speak.

...Isn't it impossible to die?

The three of them finished eating the melons that were given to Jun Bailu as a gift, and started chatting about the daily routine, asking left why you don't go back to the sky so free, and answering right answering how good it is because you don't want to go back.You come and I go, so lively.

Listening to the chatter between the two of them, Jun Bailu felt that her life was very comfortable, and gradually she felt drowsy.

Faintly, he could still hear the conversation between the two:

"The child must have been exhausted in the past two days. Let him sleep peacefully and keep his voice quiet."

"Muxu, why do I think this child likes you very much? Do you think you are especially attracted to children? Ah Jian is like this, and so is this child."

"Don't talk nonsense."

"You probably understand what I mean, right? You clearly told me that you came to the mortal world just to see A Jian, and you will not interfere with the lives of mortals."

"Am I stupid, I don't even have enough mana, and I still save other people's blessings and get the first name?"

"...You said that your mana is not enough, why? Hasn't Ah Jian appeared in this life yet? Are you still depleting your cultivation base to spy on your fate?"

Jun Bailu scratched his neck, Mu Xu's voice made his brain hurt, he turned over, not wanting to listen to them.

The next morning, Jun Bailu struggled to get up, pulled off the quilt and got out of bed, not surprised at all that she would sleep on a strange and gorgeous bed.

Usually at this time, Mu Xu likes to stand in the yard in front of the Taoist temple, leaning against the big tree to enjoy the morning sunshine, but when Jun Bailu stood in the yard, he found that except for the old tree, everything else in the yard had changed. Sample.

It has become like a Taoist temple.

Two or three visitors came and went, discussing whether to go in and ask for something.

Jun Bailu looked left and right, but still couldn't find Mu Xu, just when he was about to drive away some beggar-like visitors, he was dragged back.

"Little kid, I haven't eaten for more than five hours, aren't you hungry?"

Jun Bailu looked back, and found that Chao Zhang was wearing a strange but not uncommon attire, holding a spoon in one hand and carrying him in the other.

Jun Bailu pouted at a few people in the yard, signaling that he had to drive these refugees away.

Unexpectedly, Chao Zhang carried him back directly, and said, "Don't worry about that, come over for dinner."

Jun Bailu sat at the table, with a bowl of rolling meat porridge in front of him.

There was only him on the table, not Mu Xu.

Chao Zhang was still busy in the kitchen, so he didn't eat with Jun Bailu.Jun Bailu was stirring the porridge in the bowl, without any appetite, and said, "Have you seen Mu Xu?"

Chao Zhang said: "You can eat yours, take care of your body, the body of ordinary people is very weak, if you don't eat it, you will ruin your body, I will tell you after eating."

Jun Bailu: "Actually, I'm really not that fragile...really..."

Jun Bailu said in his heart that I am a mortal and blame me.

The meat porridge in front of him exudes a tempting fragrance, which is captivating.Jun Bailu scooped up a spoonful and put it into his mouth slowly: "Actually, I'm quite curious, why is your personality so different from before?"

"Once upon a time?" Chao Zhang squinted his eyes and thought for a while: "Did Muxu tell you everything about the past? It seems that you are very popular with him~ Did he say that I used to be stern and serious? People don't want to get close?"

Jun Bailu nodded honestly.

Chao Zhang came out from the back of the kitchen, and put a plate of fried eggs in his hand in front of Jun Bailu: "Maybe I was too idle in the past. I always felt that it was not good to be so idle. It seemed like a waste of time, so I was worried all day long. Wait until When I was really busy, I began to miss the leisurely days. Besides, "

Chao Zhang sat down opposite Jun Bailu, took off his apron, and put on a posture of wanting to have a long talk: "It's rare to see a close friend, wouldn't it be too embarrassing to keep a straight face?"

With a whole plate of fried eggs in his mouth, Jun Bailu lowered his head and was speechless.

Chao Zhang hurriedly stood up to look at him: "What's wrong with you! Did you choke! What to do! Will you suffocate to death!"

Jun Bailu coughed twice, sat up with a flushed face, and looked at him with spring eyes.

So... so delicious!

Chao Zhang felt uncomfortable when he looked at him, he struggled and said, "What do you want to say..."

Jun Bailu coughed a few times, adjusted his status and casually brought up a topic: "Yesterday Mu Xu said that his master has...why did his master behave like this?"

Chao Zhang sat down again, thought for a while and said, "It is true that gods do not age and die, but the premise is that they obey the way of heaven, but what if the way of heaven makes people die by themselves? It is really a struggle...Since Muxu is I’m willing to tell you the past, so it’s okay for me to tell you now. Mu Xu was a closed disciple of the Great God Lord at that time. He was very young, so he was loved and taken care of by his senior brothers. It’s probably because Mu Xu just learned At the moment of the basic spell, the great god suddenly fell into a curse."

"A curse?" Jun Bailu asked in surprise, "Why is it this thing again?"

Chao Zhang looked at him, and said with a smile: "Look, even you, a mortal who doesn't understand much, hates the curse, let alone Mu Xu, who experienced it at the time. According to the reason of the curse, the gods in the sky Bring all the people who are close to the great god to one place, but there are only so many gods in the sky, and the great god is very popular. As soon as there are more gods brought in for questioning, there are fewer gods who can help sort out and think about the source of the disaster. In this way, the progress of the Great God's curse was very slow. Finally, on the No.20 day when the Great God was infected with the curse, the curse completely eroded the Great God's body and soul and dissipated in the world, no longer exists."

"Bringing people to a place for interrogation and inferring the source of the disaster is the most stupid way and the only way. Even if this method has never been able to eliminate the curse, this is already what the gods can do All the hard work."

"The Great God has lasted for 22 days in total from being infected with the evil curse to returning to chaos, which is much longer than the time for people who were infected with the evil curse in the past. I have to say that the curse is very effective in suppressing evil thoughts. effect, even though it will take away at least one God Lord every time it appears."

"At least one... What do you mean?" Jun Bailu asked.

"The generation of evil thoughts will often cause the source of the disaster to fall into the demon, and the heart will change greatly. Because you can't be ideal, more than half of your cultivation will dissipate. There are many reasons for the disappearance of your cultivation. There are many of these types, and no matter what kind, it will cause a large number of gods to panic: they are afraid that they will be maliciously attacked or implicated by the source of disaster or heaven, and they are afraid that they will become like that."

"The state of mind of the gods is unstable, and their cultivation bases go astray. The light ones will stop, and the serious ones will also fall into the demons. Therefore, the way of heaven projects the evil thoughts of the source of disasters on the most cherished people in the source of disasters, so as to call them back. The original intention can also avoid the disaster of a large number of gods. If the original intention is successfully recalled, as long as the knot is solved, all the cultivation bases are dissipated to offset the evil thoughts, and you can practice again from the beginning, but often when the evil curse occurs, the original intention has long been irrevocable... "

"After the cursed person returns to chaos, the source of the disaster will often go to death together because of heartache and self-blame, leaving it to outsiders to sigh, and even more fragile gods who have just taken office will fear that they will be infected with the curse or become a disaster in the future." Yuan, if you can't think about it, you will commit suicide..."

"When the great god fell, the body of the great god disappeared for a while. When everyone found it again, they found that the great god was lying on the bed with his disciple. The disciple was hugging his master tightly. When the sword was split, the soul was scattered. Mu Xu was sitting on the ground crying at that time, his clothes were still stained with the blood of his senior brother, and his eyes were fixed on the hands of his senior brother and master. The master has cleaned up the evil disciples' that's when people knew that the source of the disaster was the great disciple of the great god, and everyone knew about the disrespect that the great disciple had towards his master."

"Since then, Mu Xu has refused to worship any master. All his cultivation has been made by himself. Although there is no sign that the curse is related to his brother's friendship with his master, he still refuses Accept apprentices, because no one knows what he saw and what happened that day, and he himself has never talked about it.”

Jun Bailu nodded.This makes sense, why Mu Xu didn't want to accept apprentices, and why he was so angry after hearing A Jian's truth.

After listening to the story, Jun Bailu pushed the porridge bowl in front of him, covered his mouth with his hand, and said very reservedly: "One more bowl!"

After eating five bowls of meat porridge, Jun Bailu had already rolled his stomach away, and when he was full, he remembered the one he had never forgotten, and hurriedly asked, "Where's Mu Xu?"

Chao Zhang was packing up the bowls and chopsticks, when he heard the words, he seemed to be laughing at himself, he held the corners of his mouth vaguely and said: "I advise you, it's better not to bother Mu Xu these two days."

"why?"

"Because Ah Jian is here."

Right now in the yard.
