Chapter 392: Samsara Tree, Transparent Fruit, One of the Heavenly Creatures!
When I got closer, I realized it was a tree.
After standing in front of this tree, I realized how small I was.
There are dots of fairy light on the trunk, like a vein covering the entire tree. Looking up, the tree crown blocks out the sun. The leaves are very small and in various shapes, including diamond-shaped, maple leaf-shaped, needle-shaped, and so on.
There are thumb-sized fruits on the leaves, which look a bit like lantern fruit. Su Mu has seen this kind of fruit before. He once helped an old man build a bridge, and then he saw this kind of fruit in his yard, but they are only similar in appearance.
He didn’t know if it was his illusion, but the essential aura of these lantern fruits on the tree was very similar to the light spots floating in the void.
The difference is that these lantern fruits are fixed on the trees, while those spots of light are illusory, wandering and floating in the void, without roots or wings, like lonely ghosts.
If you look closely, you can find that in addition to the main trunk, there are a total of nine branches. At the end of each branch, there is a transparent fruit, just like white jade.
Boom——
The next second, a transparent fruit suddenly fell and landed in front of Su Mu.
Su Mu lowered his head and picked up the transparent fruit. Looking at it, his consciousness suddenly became blurred and he swallowed the transparent fruit in one gulp.
As the transparent fruit enters the stomach.
Su Mu's consciousness began to blur and he was emitting white light all over his body.
Then, his body turned into a transparent fruit, flew to the treetop, and turned into the transparent fruit on the tree.
I don't know how long it has been, my consciousness and memory have all disappeared, as if it has become a dream
"Hey, hey, hey! Wake up!"
Su Mu felt that someone had shaken him awake. He slowly opened his eyes and saw a face full of disgust.
"Old shepherd, it's ten copper coins in total."
The waiter shouted at the middle-aged man who was lying on the wooden table, drunk as a puddle.
Su Mu rubbed his eyes and began to feel around on his body. After searching for a long time, he finally found three copper coins.
"Three?"
"Someone, come here, you're here to eat for free again, drag you out and beat you up!"
After that, several sturdy men rushed out from behind the curtain, carried Su Mu to the backyard, and tied him in a sack.
Several people picked up thick sticks, ready to beat the man to death and then throw him into the river. After all, this man had no background and was just a homeless person who came here every day to eat and drink for free. No one would care if they beat him to death.
Just as they were about to fight, the manager of the tavern came out and said, "We have distinguished guests in the tavern, don't cause any trouble, just throw them outside."
"He is a servant of the City Lord's Mansion. It would not be good to beat him to death."
Hearing this, the men had no choice but to do as they were told and threw Su Mu out of the wall.
As he was still drunk, Su Mu was too lazy to move and just lay in the sack and fell asleep.
That night.
A gust of cold air woke Su Mu up. He suddenly opened his eyes, broke free from the sack, and found himself thrown into a garbage dump.
Su Mu sat on the garbage dump, patting his temples, feeling dizzy and as if he had forgotten something, but he couldn't remember anything.
He stood up shakily and suddenly found that his right hand was empty. He reached out and touched it, and found that his right hand was broken.
After organizing his thoughts, his memories came back to him. It seemed that he had drunk too much just now and almost forgot who he was.
He lost his right hand from the moment he was born.
Perhaps because his right hand was broken and he became disabled, his parents abandoned him. He has been wandering since he was a child. Due to his physical disability, it is difficult for him to find a job to make a living. He also wanted to try to become an apprentice and practice Taoism, but when the old Taoist priest in the temple saw that he was born with a disability, he shook his head at himself.
Just like that, he has been in a daze for decades. Now he is 44 years old, still a powerless vagrant, wandering around the market.
However, this year he was lucky enough to enter the City Lord's Mansion and become a house slave.
The city where he lives is called "Changxun City". It is considered a big city in the entire Dongyuan Continent and is ranked among the top ten cities.
"Changxun City" was actually just an unknown small town hundreds of years ago.
Five hundred years ago, a son of destiny appeared in Changxun City. This son of destiny was promoted by the upper world and was said to have joined the army of the Mutian Alliance.
Because the name of the son of destiny was "Liu Changxun", from that day on, the city was renamed "Changxun City".
Dongyuan Continent is a big world under the jurisdiction of the Mutian Alliance, and its presence is very low, because there are thousands of similar big worlds under the jurisdiction of the alliance.
It is already a supreme honor to be promoted to the upper realm and to become an official soldier in the Mu Tian Alliance army.
Su Mu had lived in Changxun City since he was a child, at the bottom of the society. Even a tavern manager could easily decide his life or death.
He reeked of alcohol and definitely didn't dare to go back to the City Lord's Mansion.
Although he was a servant in the City Lord's Mansion, his status was very low due to his lack of cultivation, and he usually just did errands.
He took out the last five copper coins from his trouser leg, bought a clean set of cloth clothes, put them on, and hurried back to the City Lord's Mansion.
Today, the City Lord's Mansion held a grand banquet.
It is to celebrate the legendary City Lord Liu returning home from the upper realm to visit his relatives.
However, only one table was set up in the City Lord's Mansion for a family dinner, because Liu Changxun strongly requested that it be kept low-key and not publicized.
"Uncle, I toast to you!"
A young man picked up a large bowl full of wine and toasted to a middle-aged man in a green robe who was sitting in the main seat.
After saying that, he drank it in one gulp.
The people at the banquet were all high-ranking officials of the City Lord’s Mansion, and their cultivation was at the Golden Core Stage.
The strongest one is the green-robed man in the main seat, who has reached the Mahayana stage, two major realms higher than them.
"Xiaolu, you must take your uncle as your role model!"
One of the men, with a smile on his face, instructed the young man who was toasting.
In response to everyone's compliments, Liu Changxun just smiled slightly and didn't say much, appearing to be very low-key.
This is because, before going to the upper realm, he was full of confidence and intended to accomplish something big, become successful and famous, and rise to prominence.
After going to the fairyland in the upper world, I realized how insignificant I am.
He had fought for hundreds of years, but was just a small soldier in the 900th reserve detachment under the 7840th Extra Corps of the Mu Tian Alliance army!
"Outsider" means that he is not even qualified to become a member of the "official legion"!
So, this time when he went home to visit his family for a month, he was very, very low-key because he felt he had nothing to show off.
The higher you go, the more you realize how insignificant you are.
ps: I'm very sorry, there is only one update today. Someone in my family is in the hospital for surgery, so I have to stay up all night. I will resume normal updates tomorrow.
The side plots don't drag on and are concluded quickly, and they are all very important.
