The Counterattack of the Villains

"You two guys, have you seen enough fun?"

Li Mu's body was glowing with aura, and he was suspended beside the tree crown, looking at Jingjing and Wan Yuzhi with a half-smile.

Jingjing was still in a daze and didn't know how to respond, but Wan Yuzhi already knew the opportunity and bowed and saluted: "Little demon pays homage to senior."

Li Mu nodded to Wan Yuzhi with satisfaction and said, "You little fox knows how to be polite."

Monkey also came back to his senses at this time. Seeing that Li Mu seemed to have no ill intentions, he felt relieved and asked in his high-pitched voice: "Senior, what advice do you have?"

Li Muwang asked him: "What is your relationship with the Bashu thief Li Hankong?"

Jingjing said in surprise: "That's my boss, why would you ask such a question?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Daxia Li is my family and a person I admire very much. I ask you, are you willing to follow me to cultivate immortality?"

"Xiu Xian?" Jingjing's eyes lit up, a look of respect appeared on his face, and he said: "I haven't asked the seniors for their surnames."

Li Mu said: "I, Li Mu, the head of the Diancang Sect, considering your relationship with Hero Li, I plan to accept you as my Diancang Sect protector and teach you the secret knowledge of our sect. What do you think?"

Jingjing was overjoyed, and the name of the Cang Sect was heard like thunder even if he was hidden in the mountains and old forests.

Without much thought, he immediately clasped his fists and bowed: "Please see me, Master."

Li Mu happily nodded, then looked at Wan Yuzhi, and said: "As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together, since you are with Jingjing, and you don't have the aura of blood and evil in your body, you must be a good person, so go with Jingjing!"

Wan Yuzhi was even more ecstatic. She was just a wild fox with no legs and became a spirit. What she was most afraid of was meeting those defenders.

Therefore, she only dared to hang out in Anning Village and did not dare to go to big towns.

If she could become a member of a famous and upright sect, it would be like a pheasant turning into a phoenix to her.

At that moment, Yingying prostrated herself and said gratefully: "Thank you, Master, for taking me in."

Li Mu waved his hand and released the Fang Tianji, letting the two of them come up, and then took them to Nanzhao.

He did not go back to the mountain directly, but first rested for one night at the Imperial Master's Mansion in Dali City, and then returned to the sect with a monkey and a fox the next morning.

Seeing Li Mu return safely, Nuyuan, Jiang Waner, and Lin Yeping all breathed a sigh of relief.

Directly north of the Diancang Sect, there is a large stilted building covering an area of ​​nearly two acres.

Go upstairs from the wooden stairs to the main door, on which hangs a plaque with the words "Haoqitang" written on it.

Inside the gate is the main hall of the Haoqi Hall. On the wall facing the gate, there are eight characters written in big words: "The heaven and earth are vast, and righteousness will last forever."

Li Mu sat in the main seat in front of Ba Zi, Nuyuan sat beside him, Jiang Waner stood beside her mother, and Lin Yeping sat at the bottom.

Li Mu pointed at Jingjing and said: "This little monkey is the spiritual beast adopted by Li Hankong, the Bashu thief. After Li Hankong passed away, he lived in seclusion in the ancient vine forest."

"I found out that the Earth Spirit Pearl was in the hands of the ancient vine spirit in the Ancient Vine Forest. I brought him back when I went to get the Earth Spirit Pearl, and planned to train him to be a protector."

Nuyuan looked at Wan Yuzhi and asked, "What about this person?"

As a member of the Tushan nine-tailed sky fox clan, she could naturally tell that Wan Yuzhi was from the fox clan at a glance, but Wan Yuzhi could not see her true form.

Today's Nuyuan has an authentic Xuanmen aura that even half-immortals like Jiang Juezhi and the Five Elders of Shushan can't see through.

If Li Mu had not known her details in advance, he would not have thought she was a monster.

"She is Jingjing's friend. She has no blood in her body, but she is a kind person. So I brought her back with me, and she will be handed over to you from now on."

After listening to Li Mu's explanation, Nuyuan nodded with satisfaction and said, "No problem."

Li Mu turned to look at Jiang Wan'er and ordered: "Wan'er, first take them to get familiar with the environment of the Diancang sect and arrange a place for them to live."

"Okay." Jiang Waner waved to the two of them and said with a smile: "Come with me!"

"Yes, disciple, resign."

The two of them bowed to Li Mu and Nuyuan, and bowed to Lin Yeping before following Jiang Waner out of the Haoqi Hall.

There were only three people left in the hall, and Nuyuan asked Li Mu: "Why did it take so long to go this time? How is the situation? Did you get the Fire Spirit Pearl?"

Li Mu smiled slightly, raised his hand and crossed it from left to right in front of him. The four spiritual beads of water, fire, earth and thunder were lined up.

"Not only have the Fire Spirit Beads, but also the Thunder Spirit Pearls and Earth Spirit Pearls been obtained, now all that is left is the Wind Spirit Pearls from the God Realm, and the Five Spirit Pearls can be gathered together."

Nuyuan and Lin Yeping suddenly realized that they had been there for so long. It turned out that they had obtained the Thunder Lingzhu and the Earth Lingzhu together.

Lin Yeping said: "Since the Wind Spirit Pearl is in the God Realm, how do you get it?"

Li Mu smiled and said: "Don't worry, there will be an opportunity within eighteen years. You don't need to think too much about this matter. I will handle it well."

"From tomorrow onwards, I will be in seclusion and practice with the help of the four spirit beads. The sect will thank you for your hard work. Jingjing will also bother the great elder to teach me more."

"This monkey is extremely talented and spiritual. You can teach him the Unparalleled God of War Technique and the Tiger's Roaring Stick Set."

Lin Yeping asked with some confusion: "Why the Tiger Roar Stick Collection?"

Li Mu grinned and said: "Believe me, monkeys have a unique talent in stick skills. Monkeys are born to use sticks."

"If you don't believe it, teach him a few more martial arts and see which one he practices best."

Lin Yeping said with great interest: "Okay, then I will give it a try and see if it is really the case."

…

In the evening, Li Mu had a good double practice with Nuyuan, and the next day he entered a state of seclusion, absorbing the power of the spirit beads with all his strength.

With the body of water spirit and the law of water spirit as a foundation, now that he has absorbed several other spirit beads, his efficiency is much higher, and his understanding of the law has become easier.

The five spirits are mutually reinforcing and interfering with each other. You can use the characteristics of mutual generation when cultivating yourself, but you can use the characteristics of mutual suppression when fighting against the enemy.

Among the five spirits, water generates thunder, thunder generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates wind, and wind generates water.

Nowadays, although there is a lack of wind spirit beads, the interrelationship between the five spirits is not yet complete and cannot form a perfect cycle.

But for now, the law of water spirit is the most profound law to understand, and the body of water spirit has also made some achievements, so for the time being, the practice of water spirit law can be postponed.

Therefore, without the Wind Lingzhu, the impact is not big. Li Mu's cultivation and realm are steadily improving.

It is said that there are no years in practice. In the state of retreat, time really flies by, and more than ten years have passed in the blink of an eye.

In the past ten years, Li Mu has only come out three times. After spending some time with his wife and daughter, he entered seclusion again.

And secretly, he actually secretly goes out every two years or so to spend some time with the Fire Ghost King in Fengdu City.

Although it was an affair, it was not in vain. Not only did it not delay his practice, it actually made him completely ahead of the curve in understanding the Law of Fire Spirit, and even surpassed the Law of Water Spirit in one fell swoop.

As a result, the power of his Nanming Lihuo Jue increased dramatically.

At first, his Nanming Lihuo Bomb was still orange-red, but when he actually came out, the Nanminglihuo Bomb had turned into purple with a hint of blue.

When the color of the fire bomb changes to blue with gold, the Nanming Lihuo Jue is completed.

The blue flame with gold in it is the accompanying flame of the mythical beast Suzaku, one of the innate divine fires, and the real Nanming Lihuo.

In the past ten years, Li Mu not only successively understood the Law of Fire Spirit, the Law of Thunder Spirit, and the Law of Earth Spirit, but his cultivation level also skyrocketed.

Originally, in this world, Li Mu had no reference and could not figure out what level his cultivation had reached.

Because the grading method of cultivation and combat power in this world is completely different from the mythical world, and there is no systematic grading method.

It wasn't until not long ago that Li Mu opened the three flowers on the top of his head and condensed the five qi in his chest. Only then did he realize that with the help of four spiritual beads, he had reached the Golden Immortal state where the three flowers gathered on the top and the five qi came to the source.

This is just a realm, and does not represent actual combat power. The actual combat power of an immortal who follows the path of proof is at least one level higher than that of ordinary immortals. Fighting across levels is a basic skill.

The energy of the five spirits in the four spirit beads, after being absorbed day and night by Li Mu for more than ten years, has become much thinner, and the cultivation efficiency is not as high as it was at the beginning.

In addition, after the three flowers gather at the top and the five qi come to the yuan, if you want to make a breakthrough, the spiritual energy required is too huge, and the results cannot be seen in just a few decades.

Therefore, Li Mu left the seclusion completely and stopped picking up the wool of the Five Spirit Pearls for the time being, allowing it to absorb the energy of the Five Spirits from heaven and earth to replenish itself.

In his daily practice, he steadily absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. In his practice, he mainly focused on understanding the laws, and at the same time developed more new martial arts and immortal arts.

Based on his original idea, he created a thunder technique specifically for Yun Ting.

Too lazy to come up with a special name, Yun Ting liked to use swords, so he just named it "The True Sword and Thunder Control Technique", which sounded very loud.

…

The Wuzong of Diancang sect performs martial arts.

Li Mu and Lin Yeping stood side by side, looking at the jingjing holding a cooked copper stick weighing hundreds of kilograms, which caused gusts of evil wind as it danced, creating the roar of a tiger, with smiles on their faces.

After watching for a while, Li Mu asked Lin Yeping with a smile: "How is it? Do you believe it now?"

Lin Yeping laughed and said: "You are absolutely right, the monkey's talent in stick skills is really indescribable."

"What he is using now is no longer the original Tiger Roaring Stick Collection. He has added a lot of his own understanding of the stick techniques into it, and the power is far superior to the original version."

Li Mu chuckled, not surprised at all.

At this moment, a disciple quickly woke up and greeted Li Mu and Lin Yeping: "Greetings to the leader, Great Elder."

Li Muwenyan asked: "What's the matter?"

The disciple said: "Reporting to the leader, there is a black Miao boy outside the mountain gate who wants to join the Diancang sect."

"The junior brother on duty saw that he was not very old, so he didn't make things difficult for him. He just told him that the Diancang sect would not accept Black Miao people and asked him to go down the mountain."

"But the young man refused to leave. Instead, he knelt outside the mountain gate. Junior brother didn't know what to do, so he had to report it and ask the master to make a decision."

After listening to the disciple's words, Lin Yeping looked at Li Mudao in surprise: "A young man from the Black Miao tribe dares to come to the Diancang sect to become a disciple. If nothing else, his courage is extraordinary."

Li Mu smiled and said: "Then let's go together and see what kind of outstanding young man this pioneer is!"

When the two of them arrived at the mountain gate, they saw a young man wearing black Miao clothing with disheveled hair, kneeling upright outside the mountain gate.

He looked to be fourteen or fifteen years old, with a rather handsome appearance, but his face was so calm that he didn't look like a teenager. In his eyes, there was a vicissitude and depth that Lin Yeping could not understand.

"What a special boy."

Hearing Lin Yeping whispering to himself, Li Mu's heart moved, and he had some guesses about the identity of this young man.

He walked up to the young man and asked, "What's your name?"

The young man looked up at Li Mu and said calmly: "Junior Shi Jie."

Li Muran understood that it was indeed this guy. Apart from him, there was probably no other young man in Heimiao at this time who had such courage.

The future leader of the Moon Worshiping Cult actually came to Dian Cangshan to become his disciple, which made Li Mu feel a little weird, but more importantly, he found it interesting.

The corner of Li Mu's mouth curled up, and then he asked: "Why do you want to come to the Diancang sect to become a disciple? Don't you know that the Diancang sect is on Bai Miao's side?"

Shi Jieren looked at Li Mu and said clearly: "I was in Heimiao. Because I killed some people who cheated and committed evil, my adoptive father beat me until I vomited blood."

"I heard that the people of the Diancang sect are all heroes who fight for justice and kill evildoers. I want to come here to find an answer on what is right and what is wrong."

Li Mu smiled and said, "If I'm not wrong, those evil people you killed must have been attached to your adoptive father, or to your Witch King, right?"

Shi Jieren's eyes lit up and he said: "Senior is right, so senior, please tell me whether what I did is right or wrong?"

Li Mu and Lin Yeping looked at each other, but saw that there was already some sympathy for the young man in his eyes.

As long as someone has taught him to distinguish right from wrong, he will not have these doubts.

Although good guys and bad guys are not so absolute, most of the time, the boundaries between good guys and bad guys are actually very clear, which can be said to be black and white.

Li Mu said to Shi Jieren: "It depends on where you stand. If you stand on your adoptive father's point of view, you are naturally wrong."

"Because if you kill people who are dependent on your own power, you are weakening your own power."

"But if you stand on the side of justice, you are absolutely right, because when I encounter such a person, I, a disciple of the Dian Cang Sect, will kill him as usual."

Shi Jieren heard this and murmured: "So, I didn't do anything wrong?"

Li Mu nodded and said, "If you want to be a good person, you have done nothing wrong."

Shi Jie said: "Since I was right and I only did what a good person should do, that means my adoptive father was wrong and he is a bad person."

Li Mu shook his head and said: "You kill evil people to protect good people from being bullied by evil people. You are a good person. Your foster father stands up for evil people, so he is naturally a bad person."

"But as far as your adopted father is concerned, he is loyal to the Witch King. In the eyes of the Witch King and those around him, your adopted father is a good person."

"If you kill someone who is attached to the Witch King, you are a bad person to them. Is it right for him to beat you? Again, the key depends on where you stand."

"In fact, in this world, good and evil, right and wrong are not so clear-cut. You don't need to think about right or wrong, good or bad."

"You just need to stick to the beliefs in your heart and have a clear conscience, that's enough."

For a young man who has only been exposed to cultivation and learning since he can remember, and has never been educated in the three levels, these words are like opening the door to a new world for him.

He bowed to Li Mu and said, "Thank you, senior, for your guidance. I want to be a good person in my heart, so I beg senior to accept me."

Li Mu smiled and asked the disciples on duty: "You have all heard that this black Miao boy was beaten by his relatives for killing a villain."

"He wants to be a good person, so he comes to the Diancang Sect to become a disciple regardless of his own safety. Do you think I should accept him?"

Several disciples guarding the mountain gate looked at each other and nodded to the oldest disciple.

Finally, the oldest disciple spoke: "The disciples believe that although this little brother is a Black Miao man, he has an innocent heart and is different from other Black Miao people. He is worthy of training. Please take the leader under his sect."

.”

Li Mu nodded happily and said to Shi Jieren: "You heard it, they all think that I should accept you."

"In that case, I will accept you as my personal disciple, and you will practice with me from now on!"

Shi Jieren stood up and clasped his fists and said: "Disciple Shi Jieren, pay your respects to the master."

After saying this, he kowtowed heavily three times.

Li Mu said: "Get up and follow me."

Shi Jieren got up and followed Li Mu and Lin Yeping to the sect.

On the way, Li Mu said to Shi Jieren: "Besides the reasons you mentioned, are there any other reasons for you to come to the Diancang Sect to become a disciple?"

Shi Jieren hesitated for a moment, and finally felt that he should not hide anything from his master, so he said solemnly: "Disciple thinks that the world is round. I want to prove this, so they beat me."

"Well……"

Lin Yeping's face was full of astonishment. The world is round? What kind of weird idea is this?

Li Mu asked with interest: "How do you plan to prove it?"

Shi Jieren said: "I want to keep walking in one direction. If I can eventually return to Nanzhao, it will prove that the world is round."

"If you can't come back until you die, then it proves that you are wrong and you deserve to die."

After listening to Shi Jieren's words, although Lin Yeping sneered at his ideas, he admired his truth-seeking nature.

He said dumbfounded: "You kid, if you have all this time for random thoughts, how can you use it to study or practice?"

Li Mu sighed: "The Great Elder thinks Jie Ren is just thinking wildly?"

Lin Yeping asked: "Isn't it true? Thousands of years ago, our ancestors had already understood that the world is a round sky and a round place. This is too ridiculous."

Li Mu did not refute Lin Yeping's words. He just said to Shi Jieren: "Jieren, remember, if a person's vision is half a step ahead of others, he is called a genius."

"But if you are too far ahead, others will think you are crazy. In fact, it is not that no one can do many things, but that no one can think of them."

Shi Jieren said thoughtfully: "Thank you Master for your teaching. I will remember it. Master, do you agree with your idea?"

Li Mu smiled, glanced at Lin Yeping, and said, "We, master and disciple, should discuss this issue in private! Otherwise, even as a master, we will be regarded as crazy."

Hearing Li Mu's words, Shi Jieren understood instantly. He couldn't help but stare, and was so excited that his whole body couldn't help but tremble.
