The queen must start from the head

Chapter 313 Boarding the Black Ship
A strange white mist rose above Dan Lake.

In the mist, a large black ship with a black flag hanging on the mast gradually appeared.

It drove all the way in the direction where everyone was, and finally stopped not far from the shore.

And just when the boat appeared, everyone realized that the scenery around them ten miles away and the escape route behind them were all plunged into an indistinct white mist at the same time.

Some gods thought that the white fog not far away was a deception, so they used their magical power to turn into a dozen yellow birds and let them enter the fog in all directions to test.

But something happened that surprised him.

As soon as these magical birds plunged into the mist, they lost contact with his master in an instant.

The other gods also sensed that the situation was not good, and they all took actions to test it.

However, after some investigation, they found that their divine power was absorbed as soon as it touched the white mist.

A man of gods said, "These fogs are weird, fellow Taoists, please be careful and don't get close to them easily."

"This mist can swallow our divine power. It is quite similar to this Danhu Lake. Maybe it is the method left by the master of the Shenfu here." Someone expressed his conjecture at this time.

His idea immediately attracted the approval of many people.

One person nodded in agreement and said, "That's right, the mist is really weird, and it probably has something to do with the lake. In my opinion, there may be something intelligent hidden in the lake. After it found out that we saw through its trick, it , so he resorted to such means of fog, trying to seal off our escape route, so that we can fulfill his wish and board this black ship."

As the person spoke, he pointed to the big black ship with a black flag that was docked in front of everyone.

When the others heard the words, they discussed with their companions.

Mu Lian, who was standing alone, generally agreed with their guesses after hearing the analysis of these people.

This black boat and Danhu's strange ability to swallow divine power should have the same source.

However, she still can't figure out whether the reason why the owner of this divine mansion left behind these methods is to kill them, the group of latecomers who covet the opportunity left by him, or if there is some other purpose in it.

Just as Mu Lian lowered her head to think, the other gods had already discussed a way, that is to find someone to personally test the black ship in front of them.

But before sending people up, they also released all kinds of small animals transformed by divine power to test on the ship first.

These animals were all alive and kicking after getting on the boat, and nothing happened at all.

But even so, facing this unknown black ship, no one was willing to take the initiative to go to the ship to find out.

After all, a ray of divine power is no more precious than a living god.

Just when the atmosphere at the scene was about to fall into a stalemate, the divine man surnamed Li who had invited Mu Lian into the team before suddenly caught a glimpse of Mu Lian standing alone not far away.

She turned her eyes lightly, and quickly figured out that Mu Lian's words about having friends were all the latter's excuses.

Suddenly, a cold and stern dark light flashed quickly from her eyes.

Hello Mulian!How dare someone even lie to her!

She was about to go up to Mu Lian to have a fit, when the two goddess companions on the side just said, "It seems that none of these people wants to be the first to board the boat, after all, the danger on the boat is unknown, and no one wants to encounter such risks But they don't think about it, no one wants to get on the boat if this continues, won't it waste everyone's time?"

"That's right, you push me and I push you. Do you want us to wait here for nothing?"

These two goddesses said these words, hoping that someone else would stand up and take the lead, and they were unwilling to rush to the front.

Even if a god-man becomes a god in practice, the selfish desires inherent in life have never been extinguished.

He does not mean that.

The words of these two people just gave the Lishen man an excuse to punish Mu Lian.

She took a few steps forward and stood in front of Mu Lian.

Before Mu Lian could say anything, she said first, "Friend Mu, everyone is looking forward to someone going to the black ship to find out what's going on. I wonder if you can help me solve this urgent problem ah?"

When she said this, she deliberately amplified her voice, which attracted many people present to look eagerly at Mu Lian.

Mu Lian, who was immediately pushed to the target of public criticism by this sentence, couldn't see that the Lishen man in front of her was taking the opportunity to take revenge on herself?

After hearing Li Shenren's words, the gods around all stared at Mu Lian with heavy eyes, as if they wanted to use their eyes to force the lonely woman to board the black ship.

Feeling this invisible moral kidnapping, Mu Lian's eyes turned cold.

She felt this feeling of being forced to do something today.

She was about to refuse, but Li Shenren rushed to talk again, "Friend Mu Daoist, I know that you are always kind-hearted and cautious. This kind of boarding needs to be done by careful and careful people. I think you are the one." The most appropriate candidate."

When other people heard this, they also chimed in, "Yes, fellow Taoist! As the saying goes, saving one's life is better than building a seven-level pagoda. Since this is suitable for you, please take it for me. Bar!"

"That's right, this shrine usually closes within three to five days after it opens, and I can't wait here all the time. Why don't you just do good deeds, this catechumen, and take it as a day to do good deeds!"

Someone Mu Lian didn't know even persuaded her directly, "Friend Mu Daoist, just board the boat!"

"That's right, Fellow Daoist Investigator, you can board the boat!"

"Fellow Daoist..."

Looking at the group of gods and men talking in a hurry, Mu Lian suddenly had a kind of understanding.

It turns out that those gods who show aloofness and aloofness on weekdays, all the kind and friendly faces are all external appearances, and all of them are still essentially selfish people inside.

So what about her now?

Isn't it because she is afraid that something will happen to her when she boards the ship?

Everyone in the world has selfish desires.

People are born crying, eating and drinking, and when they grow up, they need to eat well, dress well and live well, and they want more and more things. Aren’t these all selfish desires?

People think that they are the masters of their desires, but they have already become slaves of their desires without knowing it.

Now these people are controlled by selfish instincts and choose to shrink back, so how is her behavior different from them at this time?And what is the essential difference between her selfish desires and those of these people?
If one is a slave to selfish desires all one's life, how can there be true detachment?
Mu Lian also knew in her heart that she could still refuse the demands of these people.

Because if there is any problem on the boat, she will be the one who has the accident, not these people standing on the shore watching.

But at this moment, Mu Lian suddenly had the desire to board the ship and have a try.

The reason for doing this is not because of these people's persecution and verbal kidnapping, but because she wants to go through it herself.

The middle level of the god-human realm is the realm of the "self".

This id refers to the "I" above the self that is exposed to outsiders on a daily basis.It is not the self that people wear a mask in their daily dealings with others, but the true self that a person sees when he looks directly at his soul after taking off the mask.

So what is your true self, Mulian?

When you face danger, do you feel the same fear, the same fear, and the same choice to retreat?

With this determination to face the crisis of death, Mu Lian finally took her first step.

Although there have been difficulties and obstacles on the road ahead of her practice, her hard work is more for others.

But this time, she wanted to do it purely for herself.

When Mu Lian walked towards the black ship without saying a word, the gods who stood there fell silent, watching her slender figure silently.

Although Mu Lian didn't open her mouth to reject their request, nor did she mention any conditions for boarding the ship, she just chose to go forward alone, but inexplicably, in this quietness, there was dissatisfaction in their Dao Xin Lake. Small ripples.

It was as if that slender and thin cyan figure was enough to hold up a whole world.

As Mu Lian walked to the lake, a colorful halo automatically appeared in the back of her head.

When she jumped and landed on the deck of the black ship with her feet, the colorful lights behind her head also followed Dasheng.

The god-man with the highest strength present has reached the sixth level of the god-human realm.

As soon as he saw the halo behind Mu Lian's head, his heart jumped violently.

Because he recognized it, this seven-color Daoguang is an auspicious light that can only be born when the Dao Heart barrier is broken. It can spread the colorful rays of light in the Dao Heart Lake of the Daoist, which is enough to make the Daoist not stop when they enter the next level. Any obstacles will be encountered!

And fellow Daoist Li in the field also recognized the glow on Mu Lian's body as an auspicious light that broke through the barriers of Taoism.

Knowing that Mu Lian is already the fourth level of strength in the God-man Realm, she felt a chill in her heart.

With this auspicious light, it is conceivable that it is only a matter of time before Mu Lian advances to the fifth level of the divine realm.

And after the other party has such strength, isn't it almost the same as her?

Her act of forcing the other party like this today has already created a grudge with the other party. There is no guarantee that the other party will not come to her to end this relationship in the future.

It seems that she can only think of a way to act first, and must strangle this scourge to the ground as soon as possible!
Mu Lian, who had successfully boarded the big black boat, withdrew her spiritual consciousness from her radiant Daoxin Lake, and began to look at everything in front of her eyes.

The deck of this black ship is wide enough to accommodate hundreds of people standing on it at the same time.

And now there are seventy or eighty gods and men left on the shore, plus herself, if these people stand on the deck together, there is more than enough space.

There was nothing on the deck except the rudder wheel and the mast, and the thick hemp rope and buckets scattered here and there.

In the middle of the deck, there is also a separate small wooden room, but the door is closed tightly, and there is no knowing what is inside.

After Mu Lian boarded the boat, someone from the gods below called out to her and asked her how the situation was going up.

Regarding these shouts, Mu Lian simply replied to them, "No abnormalities have been found for the time being", and then started searching on the ship by herself.

In her opinion, there must be a reason for this boat appearing on Lake Dan.

Maybe this boat will be responsible for sending them all to the other side of the lake, but how to start the boat, what will happen to the boat after it starts, and what will happen to the boat while driving are all unknown.

When Mu Lian carefully searched around on the ship, the group of gods below saw that Mu Lian had been in good condition since boarding the ship and was able to walk around, so they knew that there was nothing wrong with the black ship.

Soon, these gods and men also came to the edge of Dan Lake, flying onto the boat one by one.

Strange to say, when all the people in this group boarded the black ship, the rudder of the ship suddenly moved by itself.When the series of ring-shaped rudder wheels rotated by themselves and made a creaking sound, many gods and men on the ship were startled.

When the ship automatically turned around and started sailing to the other side of Dan Lake, many people breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, someone stepped forward and carefully inspected the self-activated steering wheel, wanting to know whether it might be controlled by formations, dao patterns, etc., but unexpectedly found nothing.

Because they did not find any traces of spiritual power or divine power left on the steering wheel.

And other people are also looking around on the boat, in case there is something dangerous hidden on it.

Most of the place on the deck was empty, so the only cabin standing abruptly in the middle of the deck became extremely eye-catching.

After discussing with each other, several courageous gods and men decided to step forward and enter the wooden house to check.

But when they came to this cabin, a lifelike wooden bird carved on the lintel suddenly opened its mouth and let out a strange cry.

"You can't enter here! Anyone who enters will die!"

This sudden bird cry almost scared the gods.

One of the gods was even more startled, and directly shot the wooden bird off the lintel.

However, when the wooden bird landed right under his nose, the same weird bird's cry came from above his head again, and what he said was still the same sentence, "You can't go in here! Those who go in will die." !"

Hearing the sound, the man of god raised his head quickly, but upon seeing it, he took several big steps back in shock.

Because the wooden bird that was obviously chopped down by him just now is still standing perfectly on the branch of a carved wood at the lintel!It looked undamaged!

When he looked at the ground deck again, the wooden bird he chopped down suddenly leaked below the deck like melted wax, as if it had never appeared before.

This strange change of scene really frightened many people.

For a while, no one dared to approach this cabin easily.

But Mu Lian, who was the first to board the boat, came to this cabin at this time.
