"There are some choices that cannot be made, even if they are expedient."
Li Mu shook his head and said, "Not to mention the fact that I don't have a sense of empathy for Lord Taishi, even if I can agree with him, will I be able to fight against Immortal Master Mu Yun and the Three Unparalleled Masters at the same time if I merge with this shell and obtain the power of this peak giant in the Immortal World in his heyday?"
Hua Xiangrong shook her head. "No."
Then, she added, "But, after fusing, at least you can survive."
"Just surviving?"
Li Mu shook his head with a smile and said, "If it was just for survival, I think Taishi Tao Master would not have chosen to cut off the past, present, and future, cut off all the karma, and become the protagonist of that new era. To be honest, even if I completely believe that I am the reincarnation of Taishi Tao Master or a projection, I still feel that the real Taishi Tao Master is dead, and he and I are two completely different people."
In his mind, his thoughts suddenly became clearer than ever.
"Since you've already severed everything, why return to your old ways?"
"Fusing and walking on the path of fate of the past is nothing more than struggling at death's door."
"If I don't fuse with it, the future will be unknown. There's still a chance to struggle."
Li Mu looked at Hua Xiangrong with a smile. The warmer his smile was, the firmer his will was.
Hua Xiangrong looked at his smile and fell into silence.
After a long while, she still seemed to be trying to persuade Li Mu. She said, "Back then, what Taoist Master couldn't get was just a wisp of the luck of the protagonist of the new era. Now, he has it. Even if he's contaminated by the karma of the past, as long as he has this wisp of luck of the new era, he will be different from the past. He can create a new situation, and he won't have to struggle at death's door."
Li Mu shook his head with a smile.
Hua Xiangrong was very patient. She continued, "What's more, merging with the slough doesn't necessarily mean going back to the past. As long as your will is strong enough, you can take the lead. Then, you can not only get the power of Tao Master, but also control the fate of the new protagonist and become a new self. It's not necessarily a bad way."
Li Mu was still smiling.
A new question popped up in his mind.
Why did Hua Xiangrong have such a strong desire to let him merge with this slough?
With Hua Xiangrong's IQ, she must know that fusing with the remains was a bad choice.
But he still tried several times to persuade Li Mu to choose the fusion.
What was the reason behind this?
Li Mu remained silent.
Hua Xiangrong did not continue to persuade him.
But the light in her eyes
But the brilliance didn't tell Li Mu that she still had her own ideas.
Li Mu suddenly asked, "Do you have your own complete memories?"
Hua Xiangrong was slightly stunned and nodded.
Li Mu said, "Then can you tell me how you came to Mount Tao Master and how you became the spokesperson of Taishi Tao Master?"
Hua Xiangrong said, "I was once exiled in the void. It was not until 20 years ago that I broke through the void and came to the Dao Master Mountain and awakened my memory that I knew I was a member of the Dao Master Alliance, and my mission was to protect Tai Shi Tao Master until the Gate of the Shang Three Heavens opened …"
Exile?
Awakening memories?
These two words quickly flashed through Li Mu's mind.
There were too many possibilities to explain the meaning behind this.
"Do you remember where you were banished?"
"Where is the Banished Land? Do you have any memories of being banished? "
"No, I was banished to the void, so my memories are incomplete."
"Then how do we awaken our memories?"
"I got the stone of memory inheritance under the wutong tree and got the memory before the banishment."
It was undoubtedly a very lucky thing to talk to Hua Xiangrong.
This was because she would never be secretive, unlike the Queen Mother of the West who would always give a firm answer directly and without hesitation.
As the conversation between the two went on, Li Mu gradually understood some of the details of the matter.
Hua Xiangrong lost the memory of her previous life. Obviously, it had something to do with the "stone of memory inheritance" she mentioned. Li Mu understood it as a kind of memory paste and copy. It was very likely that the so-called stone of memory had pasted over her original memory.
Therefore, if he wanted to uncover the mystery, he first had to figure out what the "stone of memory inheritance" was.
Li Mu also asked directly.
But Hua Xiangrong shook her head and explained that the "stone of memory inheritance" had been completely destroyed and disappeared after he obtained his own memory.
Li Mu kept it in mind and tried to find a way to trace what the "stone of memory inheritance" was and how to crack it.
He still didn't intend to integrate the slough.
Hua Xiangrong continued to persuade him. Seeing that he had made up his mind, she had to temporarily give up the idea of continuous persuasion.
"Send me down the mountain."
Li Mu said.
Hua Xiangrong said, "Only in the Dao Master Mountain.
It's safe. "
Li Mu nodded and said, "I have a very important thing to do."
The Queen Mother of the West asked Li Mu to use the Seven Treasures Exquisite Pagoda to collect 108 Celestial Spirits and Earthly Evil Spirits. Li Mu decided to accept this suggestion.
In addition, Li Mu wanted to meet the three supreme masters.
Compared with the story of Immortal Master Muyun and Taishi Tao Master, Li Mu believed the old faker's comments more.
Two hours later.
The two walked out of the Dao Master Mountain.
"Something's wrong."
As soon as they walked out of the tactical deployment of the Dao Master Mountain, Hua Xiangrong's face suddenly changed.
She grabbed Li Mu's shoulder with one hand and quickly retreated as fast as lightning.
However, she was still a step late.
A powerful aura descended from the sky and blocked the two's path in a split second.
Hua Xiangrong directly raised her hand and punched without hesitation.
"Boom!"
The ripples of energy surged.
Hua Xiangrong's figure shook, and she took ten steps back to stabilize her body.
"Zhan Wumie?"
She looked at the figure who stopped her from rushing into the Dao Master Mountain. It was Zhan Wumie, one of the Four Ancestors.
"Why did Revered Bai bring this strange man out of the Dao Master Mountain?"
Zhan Wumie's face was cold, and his tone was questioning.
"It's not my business."
Hua Xiangrong frowned and said, "It's not my business either."
Zhan Wumie shook his head and said, "Revered Bai, please take us to see Tao Master."
At this time, another voice came from behind Li Mu and Hua Xiangrong, "We haven't seen Tao Master for too long, and we want to see him in person."
A powerful aura emerged in an instant, blocking their way back.
It was another of the Four Ancestors — the True Ancestor.
The two ancestors surrounded the two in the middle, one in front and the other behind.
Hua Xiangrong said, "Tao Master doesn't want to see you."
"He doesn't want us to see him, or Tao Master doesn't want to see him?" Zhan Wumie said.
"What do you mean?" Hua Xiangrong's face became cold, and she said, "Now the war is chaotic, but you two don't stay in the front to resist the enemy, but selfishly returned and attacked me. Are you going to betray Tao Master?"
