Elder Xu looked at Li Mu and saw that he didn't seem to be talking casually, so he had to say: "If Mr. Li wants to give it a try, I will help you make arrangements after returning to the main peak."
There was one sentence that he did not say out of concern for his face.
If he only "understands" the way of talismans, he might not even be able to pass the first level of the trial.
The Ancestral Court holds a Fu Dao trial every four years. This trial also has the purpose of selecting the best disciples. For each trial, there will be thousands, even tens of thousands, of practitioners from various counties in the Zhou Dynasty, and even other places.
The country is coming.
These practitioners all want to join the Fulu Sect, become a large number of disciples, and embark on a broader path of practice.
Those who participated in the trial have traveled long distances, and there is no one who does not have some confidence in their own talismans. Even so, only one person can pass the trial in the end.
Those who can persevere to the end are all true talisman masters.
Each path of spiritual practice is very difficult, and practitioners can generally only master one.
A practitioner who is proficient in talismans will find it difficult to invest a lot of time in magical powers, alchemy and weapon refining, formations and martial arts, and will not have too deep attainments.
In Elder Xu's eyes, Li Mu's attainments in magical powers and techniques have obviously reached the pinnacle and are among the top geniuses. If such a person is also proficient in talismans, martial arts, etc., then God would be too unfair.
He originally wanted to remind Li Mu that if he only had a "little understanding" of Fu Lu, there was no need to participate in the Fu Dao trial. After thinking about it, he still felt that this was too hurtful to people's self-esteem. It would be better to let him hit the wall once, so that he would know what he was doing.
How many kilograms are there in one talisman?
After being separated from Elder Xu, Li Mu flew towards Baiyun Peak.
This trip to Ziyun Peak was not without any gains.
Through Elder Sun's investigation, he found out that Li Qing came to the Fulu Sect eleven years ago and entered the sect through special channels.
Someone wasted the opportunity to become a core disciple of the Fulu Sect and sent her into the Fulu Sect with a talisman.
Why was she the only one who only had a name on the jade slips that were supposed to record the identity information of the disciples who entered the sect in detail?
Who is she, what is she carrying, and why she suddenly left the Fu Lu Sect--one mystery after another emerged in Li Mu's heart. He had no way of knowing. The only thing he could be sure of was that Li Qing
Something must have happened, and it was something serious and potentially life-threatening.
Li Mu was extremely anxious, but there was nowhere to look and nothing he could do.
Suddenly, he seemed to have thought of something, and a bright light emerged in his mind.
Just now he was only worried, and actually forgot the important point.
As long as we find the original owner of that talisman, won't we be able to figure out what happened to Li Qing?
The Fu Dao Trial only happens once every four years. The winner every year must be the focus of everyone's attention. It's hard to find Li Qing, but isn't it easy to find him?
Li Mu flew back to the main peak again. This time, he did not ask Dao Zhong to invite Elder Xu, but paid a visit in person.
After only a quarter of an hour of separation, he saw Li Mu again. Elder Xu asked in surprise: "What else does Mr. Li have to do?"
Li Mu asked straight to the point: "Elder Xu must be impressed by the number one person in each Fu Dao trial, right?"
"This is natural." Elder Xu said: "Four years ago, the first person in the Fu Dao trial is now a core disciple of the main peak. He stepped into Dongxuan two years ago. Eight years ago, he was the first person in the Fu Dao trial.
Although one person did not stay in the ancestral court, he created a branch of the Talisman Sect on his own. Twelve years ago..., that person twelve years ago, that person twelve years ago, used his Talisman Cards in exchange for
Opportunities for Li Qing to join the faction."
Li Mu hurriedly asked: "Who was that person twelve years ago?"
Elder Xu shook his head and said: "Because he did not stay in the ancestral court and did not join the Fulu Sect, I don't remember his information. Mr. Li, please wait a moment and I will check it for you..."
He walked out of the Taoist palace, and after a while, he came back and said, "I found out. The man's name is Li Er. Twelve years ago, he only left this name. Li Er, Li Qing, could Li Qing be him?"
My daughter... However, the name Li Er should be just a pseudonym, no one would have such a strange name."
Li Mu said seriously: "This matter is very important to me. I want to know the ins and outs of what happened back then. Please trouble Elder Xu."
Elder Xu had never seen Li Mu be so serious. After thinking about it, he said, "Let me check and find out who was in charge of the Fu Dao trial back then. He should know more than me."
He walked into the Taoist palace, came out after a while, took out a talisman, transmitted a few words to the talisman, and threw the talisman in the air. The talisman turned into a paper crane and flew out of the Taoist palace.
Not long after, an old woman flew in from outside.
After the old woman came in, she asked directly: "Senior Brother Xu, why are you looking for me?"
Elder Xu looked at the old woman and asked: "Junior Sister Chen, I remember you were in charge of the Talisman Trial twelve years ago. Do you still have any impression of your first place in the trial that year?"
The old woman was stunned for a moment and said, "Why do you suddenly ask about this?"
Elder Xu said: "Don't ask these questions yet. Do you still have an impression of that person?"
The old woman said: "Of course, the man's name is Li Er. I remember that thirteen years ago, he wanted to send a little girl to join our Talisman Sect, but the little girl's qualifications were not outstanding, so we did not
agree."
Elder Xu said in surprise: "Is there still this matter?"
The old woman nodded and said: "Later he asked me what it would take for the ancestral court to accept the little girl. I told him that as long as the little girl can enter the top thirty in the Fu Dao trial, or he can
If she wins the first prize in the Talisman Trial, she will be able to join the ancestral court..."
Elder Xu asked: "What happened next?"
The old woman continued: "That little girl has not practiced cultivation and is not even qualified to participate in the Fu Dao trial. But Li Er, after hearing this, left without saying a word. It was not until half a year later that he actually came to participate in the trial.
Refined, passed several levels, and captured the leader in one fell swoop. I used that talisman to exchange for the little girl's opportunity to enter the ancestral court. I remember that she later went to Ziyun Peak..."
Twelve years later, when she talked about Li Er, she still showed admiration on her face and said: "That man is really a man of great perseverance. Six months before he participated in the trial, he didn't understand the way of talismans at all. He still learned from me."
I borrowed a talisman book here. Seeing how pitiful he was, I passed on some of his experience in writing talismans. Who knew that half a year later, his attainments in talismans improved by leaps and bounds, and he was as good as the elders who had been immersed in talismans for many years.
Thousands of Fu Dao masters won the first place in the trial in one fell swoop. In fact, at that time, the head master granted permission that in addition to the little girl, he himself could also become the core disciple of the ancestral court, but he refused..."
The old woman sighed and said: "Twelve years ago, if he was willing to stay in the Fulu Sect, with his perseverance and talent, I am afraid that our sect would have another chief elder. It is a pity..."
Li Mu asked hopefully: "Senior, does he know where Li Er has gone?"
The old woman shook her head and said: "Since the girl was sent to the Fulu Sect eleven years ago, he has never appeared again."
Li Mu continued to ask without giving up: "Then what does Li Er look like?"
The old woman waved her hand, and a picture appeared in front of Li Mu's eyes. The man in the picture was wearing a gray robe and a bamboo hat on his head. There was a black cloth hanging from the edge of the bamboo hat, completely covering his appearance.
Li Mu sighed, the only clue left by the Fu Lu Sect was just cut off.
When they returned to Baiyunfeng Xiaozhu, Han Zhe and Junior Sister Qin had already left.
Before Li Mu left, he changed his drink. With Han Zhe's drinking capacity, he would get drunk after just a few drinks. He didn't know if Junior Sister Qin could seize the opportunity.
Li Mu had no time to worry about Han Zhe, he only thought about Li Qing's affairs.
A year ago, when Li Mu was by her side, he was just a small detective and could not help her much.
Now, he has the ability to protect her, but he is nowhere to find her.
Fate often plays tricks on people like this.
It must have been very painful for her when she made the decision to leave the Talisman Sect.
Therefore, Li Mu is bound to get the talisman of this Talisman Trial.
This matter was outside of his original plan. Li Mu thought about it and decided to inform the Queen.
Li Mu took out the conch, used magic power to activate it, and asked softly: "Your Majesty, are you busy?"
Soon, the Queen's voice came from the conch: "Are you coming back?"
Li Mu coughed lightly and said with some embarrassment: "No, I may have to wait for a while before returning to the capital of gods. In a few days, there will be the Talisman Trial of the Fulu Sect. I plan to participate in this trial..."
"The Talisman Trial?" Inside the conch, the Queen's voice paused and asked: "Isn't the Talisman Trial set up by the Talisman Sect to select disciples? You promised me that you would not join the Talisman Sect..."
Li Mu quickly explained: "It's not what your Majesty thinks. Your Majesty will listen to my explanation first..."
Li Mu always felt a little strange talking to the Queen like this, as if the two people's identities were reversed.
Then he realized that this was the identity he should have, and he could finally talk to the Queen in this normal identity.
The Queen was silent for a moment and said, "Explain it."
Li Mu thought for a while and said: "I feel that the Zhou Dynasty is currently suffering from internal and external troubles. The new party, the old party, and the academy are not of the same mind as your majesty. The only internal guard who is loyal to your majesty is too weak.
It seems that there are many ministers, but in fact, only Your Majesty is struggling. If the Fulu Sect can support Your Majesty, Your Majesty will not have to work so hard alone..."
In Changle Palace, a trace of warmth appeared in Zhou Wu's heart, and her eyes became much softer. She said softly: "These sects have always been aloof from the world. No matter whether the dynasty rises or falls, it is impossible for them to interfere in the affairs of the court..."
Li Mudao: "I can first become a disciple of the Fu Lu Sect, and then practice slowly. If I have the opportunity to step into the sixth realm in the future, I can become the leader of a peak, and I will have a certain say in the Fu Lu Sect. If I have the opportunity to step into
In the seventh realm, there is hope to become the leader of the Fu Lu Sect. When the time comes, I and the entire Fu Lu Sect will be His Majesty’s solid backing..."
Outside the small building, Elder Xu held a trial letter and had already stepped into the courtyard with one foot. Hearing Li Mu's words, a look of embarrassment appeared on his face, neither advancing nor retreating...
Li Mu also noticed something unusual behind him. When he turned around, he looked into Elder Xu's eyes, his expression gradually becoming awkward.
