Chapter 137 Going Home
Then, the golden-armored general pointed to a gray stone tablet in the center of the courtyard and introduced it, "That stone tablet was built in imitation of the nine eternal tablets in the Nine Realms. There are all kinds of artistic conceptions left on the tablet, such as sword concept, fist concept, talisman concept, etc. Each of you will have the artistic conception you comprehend. Those who left those artistic conceptions must have at least reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm. You can use your spiritual consciousness to probe into the stone tablet to feel the artistic conception left by those predecessors, which will definitely help you comprehend the artistic conception."
Finally, the golden-armored general pointed to the golden-armored guards beside him and said, "These eight guards will stay in the courtyard. They will protect your safety and obey your orders at all times. If you need to buy something from the treasury, you can ask them to do it for you."
Mu Changsheng's gaze was more focused on the stone tablet at this time. According to the golden-armored general, this stone tablet could help cultivators comprehend the artistic conception. It was the first time that Mu Changsheng heard of such a thing that could help comprehend the artistic conception, and he was quite curious.
With the departure of the golden-armored general, Mu Changsheng was no longer restrained. He walked to the stone tablet and wanted to feel it immediately.
There are various patterns engraved on the stone tablet: fist marks, sword marks, long knives...
“This fist mark represents the meaning of fist.” Mu Changsheng had some understanding and used his spiritual sense to explore the fist mark.
The moment his spiritual consciousness came into contact with the fist mark, Mu Changsheng suddenly felt a buzzing in his head. Looking back, he found himself in a void.
"Is this an illusion?" Mu Changsheng had just thought about it when he saw an extremely huge fist coming towards him.
Seeing this, Mu Changsheng instinctively wanted to dodge, but found that he could not move.
"It feels like I'm enveloped by endless fist intent." Mu Changsheng was horrified. The fist hadn't arrived yet, but the fist intent had already arrived. At this moment, Mu Changsheng seemed to be in a sea of fist intent, unable to extricate himself.
Finally, the fist hit Mu Changsheng, but Mu Changsheng did not feel any pain. Instead, he returned to reality.
In reality, Mu Changsheng woke up as if from a dream and took several steps back. Although he was not injured, the magnificent fist power was too real. Compared with it, he felt like an ant. He felt the fatal danger and broke out in a cold sweat.
On the other side, Song Zhi came over and reminded: "If you want to truly understand this artistic conception of the predecessors, you must first overcome your fear and immerse yourself in it. The artistic conception here only has intention, not power. No matter how strong the artistic conception is, it cannot cause real harm, it can only scare people."
"Thank you Miss Song for the reminder." Mu Changsheng said gratefully.
Song Zhi then asked, "Mr. Mu, when do you plan to go home? Why don't we go together?"
"Go early and come back early. The training conditions here are indeed better than at home." Mu Changsheng pondered and said, "Before I leave, I want to go to the treasury to buy something."
Upon hearing this, the golden-armored guard at the side stepped forward and said, "Sir, please make a list of what you need to buy and I can do it for you."
"That's troublesome." Mu Changsheng did not refuse. He made a list and handed it to the other party. It would be good to save some time.
"Once we buy the things, we can set off for home." Mu Changsheng said to Song Zhi.
"Yeah." Song Zhi smiled and nodded.
Afterwards, Mu Changsheng took advantage of this time to once again feel the fist intent on the stone tablet.
In a blink of an eye, Mu Changsheng was once again in the land of nothingness. The huge fist mark attacked again. Mu Changsheng could still feel the fatal threat from the fist mark.
However, Mu Changsheng already knew that this fist mark could not cause any harm to him, and the fear in his heart had already been largely eliminated.
So, Mu Changsheng closed his eyes and tried to feel the powerful fist intent with his heart.
The fist imprint brushed past his face, and the fist intent lingered for a long time, condensed but not released. Mu Changsheng was surrounded by a sea of fist intent, as if he was having a full body massage.
After a long time, Mu Changsheng slowly opened his eyes and had already left the fist space.
"What a powerful boxing spirit, but I feel like something is missing." Mu Changsheng frowned slightly.
Soon, Mu Changsheng figured it out: "There is only artistic conception, but no real power. It feels a bit like experiencing an illusion. To put it bluntly, it's a bit fake."
Afterwards, Mu Changsheng felt helpless again. If there was any real power in the punch, his small body would not be able to withstand it.
Afterwards, Mu Changsheng changed his target and used his spiritual sense to explore a pen carved on the stone tablet. Mu Changsheng felt that this should be a talisman pen, and the meaning of the talisman was represented on it.
After his spiritual consciousness came into contact with the talisman pen carving, Mu Changsheng felt his body shape change again. After stabilizing, he found himself in the sky with an endless green grassland below him.
In an instant, a finger standing tall appeared in front of Mu Changsheng. The finger did not attack Mu Changsheng, but kept swinging in the air.
Mu Changsheng didn't understand what it meant at first, but soon he discovered that as his fingers moved, patterns appeared on the grassland on the ground.
"This is." Mu Changsheng's eyes widened: "This is drawing talismans out of thin air."
The huge finger was the talisman pen, and the grassland was the talisman paper. Mu Changsheng stared at the finger drawing the talisman without blinking, trying to feel the artistic conception.
Compared to the fist print space, here one can not only feel the artistic conception of the talisman, but also see the talisman master's superb skills in drawing talismans out of thin air, as if a high-level talisman master is guiding Mu Changsheng, and he has gained a lot.
Finally, the finger stopped abruptly because the talisman it had drawn was completed. At the same time, the grassland talisman pattern on the ground emitted a dazzling green light, and a green dragon flew out from the talisman pattern and rushed straight towards Mu Changsheng.
Mu Changsheng knew that there would be no substantial harm, so he did not dodge or evade, allowing the Azure Dragon to pass through his body. Along with the Azure Dragon came the extremely pure meaning of the talisman, which allowed Mu Changsheng to more closely comprehend the meaning of the talisman.
As the Azure Dragon dissipated, Mu Changsheng returned to reality again, with endless aftertastes.
Finally, Mu Changsheng came back to his senses from his aftertaste, and the golden-armored guard who bought things for Mu Changsheng had also returned.
The golden-armored guard handed the things and the storage bag to Mu Changsheng and said, "A total of 35,600 medium-grade spirit stones."
Mu Changsheng opened the storage bag and took a look. It mainly contained some raw materials for refining talismans. After confirming that they were correct, Mu Changsheng gave the spirit stones to the golden-armored guard, who then paid them to the treasury.
"Let's go." Mu Changsheng said to Song Zhi. Although the conditions for cultivation here are very good, he must go back home because for him, this might be his last time home!
Mu Changsheng and the other man left the courtyard together, but they were followed by two golden-armored guards, who were there to protect them and keep an eye on them to prevent them from escaping. However, Mu Changsheng had already made the Great Heart Demon Vow, so he didn't care about it.
After leaving the palace, Mu Changsheng saw Mu Xun waiting outside.
Mu Xun came up to Mu Changsheng as soon as he saw him and said, "Shatongmo has already left with the others. Let's go to the ferry and take the boat back."
Mu Xun knew that Mu Changsheng also wanted to go back, so he did not go with Sha Tongmo, but waited for Mu Changsheng here.
Mu Changsheng felt a little warm in his heart when he heard this, and nodded and said, "Okay, let's go back together."
As the capital, Shenfeng City naturally has no shortage of ferry crossings. Mu Changsheng and the other two walked not far from the country and found a ferry crossing. They boarded the ferry back to Qihua County.
As usual, Mu Changsheng bought the cheapest deck ticket, and Mu Xun and Song Zhi followed suit.
Soon, the ferry started to fly. Mu Changsheng handed Mu Xun a storage bag and said, "If anything happens to me, please give this storage bag to my parents for me."
In the storage bag, Mu Changsheng left 50,000 medium-grade spirit stones.
"Yeah." Mu Xun took the storage bag without asking or looking any more questions.
Afterwards, the three of them were preparing to meditate and practice, but just as they started meditating, they were awakened by a loud noise.
I saw a middle-aged man who looked like a Taoist priest, shouting: "Well, you don't have a ticket. Tell me, how did you sneak onto the boat?"
The person being questioned by the middle-aged Taoist priest was an old woman in shabby clothes. She waved her hands repeatedly and said, "Please forgive me, sir. Please forgive me, sir. I really don't have any spirit stones. Please forgive me, sir."
