I have a relic of heaven

Chapter 288: Destined Death, Hongmen Banquet Begins
Lingbao Daojun is above the boundless future sea,
A drop of sea water represents a possibility, a new era that might come true, and a glimpse of the future that can only be seen by great masters and those with great supernatural powers if they try their best.

The vastness of this sea is greater than that of all the heavens and worlds.

The sea was filled with waves, but the Taoist remained motionless like a mountain.

He held down the Qingping Sword, and the sword no longer trembled or rang, and the words he uttered became golden characters, like an edict from the Great Dao, which both awakened the deaf and cleansed the body and soul.

"If you encounter the unknown things that go back and want to hurt or kill you, you can use the sword to destroy it."

"Then, the fellow Taoist at the bottom of the river in the Heavenly Palace Treasury has usurped the future and violated the prohibition. You can also use this to attack him."

"It may not be possible to kill him, but we can find out his background."

The sound of the Qingping Sword fell into Zhou Mu's spiritual sea and turned into a sacred mountain that reached the sky. Zhou Mu wanted to express his gratitude and make a great gift.

But he has already escaped from the numerous possible futures and returned to the [present], back to the main hall of the City of Salvation.

When I opened my eyes, half a day had passed. It was already the second day, and the first rays of dawn had appeared outside the palace.

The banquet will be held at noon three hours later, and the servants who were summoned temporarily have begun to busy themselves with preparing the banquet.

Taigong and Wuhou also sat opposite the table for half a day.

"God?" The two old men called softly. Zhou Mu came back to his senses and sighed softly: "Something unexpected happened just now. I have been resting for half a day. There are no accidents, right?"

He was still recalling the words of the great senior Lingbao, that things that might come from the future, things that would transform from false to true, were destined to meet him.

Maybe a few years later, or maybe a few months, a few days, or even tomorrow, or even right now.

"Nothing unusual happened during this half day."

Jiang Shang spoke calmly:
"There are two little guys who want to see me. Well, I have seen a little bit. They are all from the Jiuli lineage, the direct descendants of Chiyou."

As they spoke, Jiang Shang and Wu Hou looked a little strange - they both knew that the God in front of them was [Human Emperor Xuanyuan], [Huangdi].

Huangdi and Chiyou were old enemies.

"The Jiuli lineage?" Zhou Mu thought for a moment and realized that it was the two younger generations, Li Muyu and Li Du.
His expression suddenly froze, and an idea struck him.

Why did these two little guys suddenly ask to see me?
Could it be such a coincidence? Could it be that what Senior Lingbao said came true?

Seeing that the sun had already risen and there were still three hours before the noon banquet, Zhou Mu, who had planned not to meet the two men for the time being, changed his mind.

There is no other reason.

At my level, especially when I practice the [Yuanshi Dharma] and [Shangqing Dharma], and hold the green lamp, I am extremely sensitive to cause and effect.

Then, there will be no unfounded 'spur of the moment'.

If the heart feels something, then it will happen.

"I'm afraid it really came true."

Zhou Mu stood up suddenly, not caring about the banquet that was about to begin, his eyes were extremely sharp:
"Call them both to the palace for an audience!"

The sound is like a huge bell, awakening the deaf and awakening the ears, and it continues without stopping.

Soon, Lu Qianqian led Li Muyu and Li Du into the main hall. The latter was carrying a stone coffin on his back.

Zhou Mu’s heart was beating violently, and his spirit was shaking madly!
really.

really.

He closed his eyes, his nerves tense, his thoughts touching the sacred mountain on the ocean of his mind.

The boundless sacred mountain transformed by the sound of the Qingping sword.

It is neither sword light nor sword intent, it is just the sound of a sword. What can it do?
Zhou Mu didn’t know.

But he believed in Senior Lingbao.

at the same time.

Li Muyu and Li Du followed Lu Qianqian and walked into the hall carefully. Li Muyu was fine, able to calm down and not look around.
Li Du could not help but look around. The palace was solemn and dignified. There were no golden-armored guards as he had imagined. There were only two kind-looking old men.
And the city lord who was standing high behind the jade table in front of the throne, looking as frail as ever.

Li Muyu officiated:
"I have seen the God!"

As she spoke, she saw that there was no movement beside her, so she angrily kicked Li Du slightly. The latter woke up with a start, came to his senses, and followed the etiquette in a panic:
"Lidu, hello, senior!"

"No need to be polite."

Zhou Mu closed his eyes slightly, as if he was thinking about something, but his tone was very gentle:

"Why did you two come to see me today?"

Although according to the current passage of time, he is only in his twenties, not even as old as Li Muyu,
But Zhou Mu has been trapped in a square inch of stagnant time for tens of millions of years. In a sense, he is more than 10 million years old. These two people can indeed be considered his juniors.

Li Muyu glared at the speechless Li Du. She was a little angry. When this brat was trying to convince her before, he was eloquent and logical, so why was he speechless now?
"Li Du?" She couldn't help but shout.

Li Du bowed quickly and spoke honestly according to the words he had prepared long ago:
"Senior has done me and Aunt Mu a great favor. We owe you a life-saving favor and a great karma."

After a pause, he continued:

"To be honest with you, Senior, after I took over the family business called Tianji Tower in the city, I saw a lot of information and knew that you were in a very bad situation. After thinking about it, I wanted to present this item to you, hoping that it could help you."

As he spoke, Li Du put down the sarcophagus he was carrying and pushed it forward with great effort.

Zhou Mu, Tai Gong, Wu Hou, and Lu Qianqian who was standing in the corner, all looked towards the sarcophagus.

"Coffin." Jiang Shang said with a smile: "What is the use of a coffin? Or among them..."

Zhou Mu raised his eyelids, but instead of looking at the source of his sudden impulse and spiritual tremor - the sarcophagus, he stared at the little guy named Li Du.

he asked:
"I don't know what this is, but I have a feeling it's probably very valuable."

Well, there is a high probability that the contents of the coffin are related to the possible future. Whatever it is, its value must be astonishing.

"Then, this item is probably of the utmost importance to you, my friend. I see that you two seem to be feeling lonely, so you are going to give away such a precious thing just for a little favor?"

The peaceful voice echoed in the hall. Li Du took a deep breath, but in the end he did not say what Aunt Mu had prepared in advance. He said calmly:
"To answer your question, I want to place a bet and take a chance. I think you can get out of this adversity."

Jiang Shang and Wu Hou looked at each other, both somewhat surprised.

"This little fellow has great luck." Jiang Taigong stroked his long beard and whispered. Wu Hou nodded in agreement.

Both of them understood that the so-called difficulties and desperate situations at the moment were actually not worth mentioning at all, and those who could come to help at this moment must have great luck - because they would definitely get great opportunities and great benefits.

"That's honest."

Zhou Mu nodded slightly and changed the subject:
"The decree I issued violated the taboos of the entire world. All the demons in the world, not just the Southern Dynasty, want to eat me alive."

"Let's say that there are countless powerful people sneaking into Jiuku City now. The grand banquet in three hours will also be a big whirlpool. How dare you bet that I can break through that whirlpool?"

Li Du said without hesitation:
"It's a sign of my ancestor Chiyou's bloodline, and even more so a sign of my true heart - I think."

Jiang Taigong and Wu Hou looked solemn.

"What do you think?" Zhou Mu repeated these three words, feeling a little surprised. He tried to stare at Li Du's fate. As expected, he was shrouded in great fortune, and his fate showed the appearance of a potential dragon rising from the abyss.

"So you think that the thing that can help me is in the sarcophagus? What's inside it?"

While asking the question, Zhou Mu looked towards the sarcophagus, his expression became solemn, and he was ready to activate [Qingping Sword] at any time.

"Reply to your question, senior."

Li Du raised his head and spoke solemnly:
"It's the remains of our ancestor, Chi You, the leader of the Jiuli tribe who once fought with Xuanyuan for the throne!"

Jiang Shang was slightly stunned, Wu Hou stared, and Lu Qianqian felt dizzy and her breathing became rapid after hearing it.

Zhou Mu was also a little surprised.

The remains of Chiyou?
How could this be related to something that came back from a possible future and became true?

How could it be related to the unknown and nearly supreme being in the river?
Could it be that my prediction was wrong?

Zhou Mu was puzzled, and walked down the hall step by step, and came to the stone coffin, followed by Jiang Taigong and Wu Hou.

"Young man, can we open the coffin and take a look?" Zhou Mu asked.

"Yes, senior!"

Li Du held the coffin with both hands and exerted force, and the stone coffin that could block Jiang Taigong's "extraordinary" sacred gaze and divine thoughts slowly opened.

Everything in it is clearly visible.

Lu Qianqian couldn't help but stretch her neck and take a look. In the coffin was a young man, whose head, limbs, and body seemed to be spliced together, with bloodstains on the joints.
Even the blood was still bright red, it didn't look like a corpse that had been there for countless years.
The young man's eyes were closed, and what was surprising was that there was a hole in his forehead, as if there should be a third eye there.

"Is this Chi You?" Lu Qianqian muttered to herself subconsciously. Suddenly, she felt something was wrong and looked up.
He found that the two unknown old men looked horrified, and his master's face was as gloomy as water.

"Is this, Chi You?" Zhou Mu asked softly, looking at the corpse that looked like his own body.

"Yes, it is the remains of my ancestor. According to ancestral teachings, what was my ancestor? An innate god and demon?" Li Du narrated respectfully.

"How could this be Chi You?"

The one who spoke was Jiang Taigong, who said in a rather inappropriate tone:
"Chi You, the leader of the army, is clearly the one who is right, clearly the one who is right."

He was speechless.

He was shocked to find that the appearance of the military lord Chi You in his memory seemed to have changed.

It turned into the appearance of the corpse in the coffin, and then into the appearance of the true body of God.

Jiang Taigong and Wu Hou were both terrified. At this time, Li Muyu and Li Du also found something wrong. The two unknown old men and Senior Tiangong seemed to react.
something wrong?

Zhou Mu said nothing, squatted down, squatted in front of the stone coffin, and stared at the "Chi You" in the coffin. He stretched out his hand and stroked the remains of Chi You.
This dead [Innate God and Demon] was touched, and the strange vision on its body also emerged!

It is the golden wheel of merit, the phantom of the peaches, bodhi, and yellow plums.
It is Zhou Mu’s true body, that is, the reflection of the Dharma that is in harmony with the body of [Middle-aged Zhou Mu]—the illusory image of Fu Li Pangu’s Dharma image.

not only.

There are also numerous and incredible innate gods and demons interweaving, but they are not clear and are very vague.

As for the reason, Zhou Mu could guess it.

Because the middle-aged self in the giant egg has not yet hatched and has not yet become an innate god or demon.

"What's the story behind this body, this remains of Chi You?" Zhou Mu asked in a low voice.

Although Li Du didn't understand why Senior Tian Gong behaved so abnormally, he still honestly recounted the records on the ancestral stone tablet.

Including the matter of "Chiyou is Xuanyuan".

Wu Hou was dumbfounded, Jiang Taigong's pupils shrank to the size of a needle, and he murmured, "So that's how it is." As for Zhou Mu
He closed his eyes and sighed softly.

He was murmured the four words "Chiyou was born Xuanyuan".

A long time passed.

"I see."

Zhou Mu whispered, saying something that no one present could understand:

"So, this is a. warning?"

"Is this a warning you are giving me, even at the cost of reversing the future?"

"You know what I want to do. You know I want to 'put the result before the effect'."

"You will then reverse the future that is destined for me to act in this way and bring it to me."

Every word he spoke was extremely low and full of anger that seemed to be about to erupt. Regardless of whether it was Wu Hou who was fortune-telling the world,
Or maybe Li Muyu, Li Du and Lu Qianqian didn't understand and were all at a loss.

The result is the cause?

Reversal becomes reality?

What and what are these?
Only Jiang Ziya, who has been through so many things and is the only one who can defeat Daluo, seems to have guessed something, his brows are furrowed, and his expression keeps changing.

Zhou Mu stood up leisurely, staring at the body in the coffin, staring at the possible ending of himself in the future where he wanted to reverse the cause and effect.

He closed his eyes, stopped talking, and just stood there silently.

Time passed by little by little, and it was almost noon, and the demon family had already arrived outside the City Lord's Mansion.

“It’s really useful to me.”

Zhou Mu spoke softly and opened his eyes. Although his eyes were clearly cold, he smiled again. He reached out his hand and gently patted Li Du's shoulder.

The latter was at a loss, always feeling that something was not right.

As he spoke, Zhou Mu lowered his head, looking at his future outcome, looking at the 'predecessor of Xuanyuan', the warning sent by the unknown nearly supreme being, and the [destined death] that he would inevitably receive if he wanted to confuse the cause with the effect.

He stretched out his hands and silently and gently closed the sarcophagus himself.

"You two should stay and attend the banquet. I accept this gift."

"Now I owe you a favor and a cause and effect."

Zhou Mu put away the sarcophagus. His voice was gentle, but his expression was cold.

He bowed slightly to Li Du, who returned the greeting timidly and frightenedly:

"God, this is what I should do. You are doing things for the human race."

Zhou Mu patted his shoulder again, without saying anything more, turned around and sat back on the throne.

"Qianqian, prepare seats for the two young friends, and then go open the gate and welcome the group of monsters in."
