Chapter 1496 Commemoration

At night, the dew was heavy, and the weather was chilly and cold.

When the sun rose, the coldness on Qin Mu's body slowly dissipated. He stood up shakily with the help of a crutch. The blood on the stick was divine blood, still bright and vivid.

He looked ahead and saw a mess.

Last night's battle caused great damage here. The cracked black mountain had been blown to pieces by the slender monster's Taoist fruit, leaving nothing behind.

The flaming monster eye sandwiched between the cracked black mountains also disappeared, and the ground around it became deeply sunken. It was sacrificed to the past universe by the slender monster and turned into pure energy.

The petrified corpse of Slender Man is scattered everywhere here. The energy of the past universe and the present universe is still balanced. Although part of the material of the ancestral temple has been sacrificed, the corpse of Slender Man still replenishes this part of the energy.

The surrounding black mountains seemed to be nourished by the energy of the thin and tall weirdo. The mountains were lush and green, and many plants and vegetation unique to the ancestral temple grew there. Dewdrops formed by the condensation of spiritual energy hung on the leaves of the trees and grass.

This tall and thin man still has half of his body in the past universe, but his Tao fruit has been destroyed.

With his Dao Fruit destroyed and only half of his body left, he would soon be wiped out in the catastrophe of the destruction of the universe, completely annihilated and cease to exist.

A hoarse voice broke the tranquility of the early morning. Qin Mu, leaning on a cane, tried to call the cripple's soul, Heisha, in a low voice.

However, no soul black sand responded to him.

Qin Mu cast the spell very slowly and the sound was long, like a wounded old wolf calling out to its relatives in the mountains with a rough and hoarse voice.

From beginning to end, no soul black sand was drawn by him.

The explosion of the Tao Fruit was too violent. Under such circumstances, it was impossible for the soul black sand to exist.

The Tao fruit is condensed by the Great Dao, representing the highest level of Tao attainment of those who have attained the Tao. The lame man stabbed the Tao fruit of the thin and tall weirdo with the Taiyi crutch, causing it to explode. In that violent explosion, the soul would be completely annihilated.

Qin Mu leaned on a crutch with one hand and reached forward with the other hand, but caught nothing.

He took a deep breath. Was it possible that the cripple could, at the last moment, use his incredibly astonishing speed to pass through the Dao Fruit and enter the strange eye behind the weirdo?

Could it be that he entered the past universe through that strange eye?

A glimmer of hope appeared in Qin Mu's eyes again. He hobbled forward with his crutches, trying to find clues in the wasteland.

The hope in his eyes gradually faded, and his gaze became empty.

Even if the cripple went to the past universe, he would not be able to survive the catastrophe. He would still be completely wiped out and nothing would be left.

He sat down, lost in thought. After a long while, his lips moved and he said in a tearful voice, "You are the best thief in the world. Even the Hall of Incense cannot stop you..."

He fell silent again, and after a long time he took out a jade bottle and carefully collected the divine blood on the wooden stick. However, some brown blood stains were still left on the stick.

There were voices coming from the crowd. It was the people who had left last night coming back to check on the battle that had taken place last night.

Qin Mu hid his sadness deep in his heart and activated the Three Dan Techniques to make himself look better. Then he stood up and quietly wiped away the tears on his face so that no one could see that he had been crying. He then patted his face to relax his muscles that had become stiff from crying.

The people who came were the ones who cared about him the most. Granny Si, the dumb man, the blind man and others walked over quickly. They were relieved when they saw Qin Mu standing there safely from afar.

"Mu'er, where is the cripple?"

Granny Si walked over quickly and checked Qin Mu's injuries first, then she breathed a sigh of relief, looked around, and asked in confusion: "Where did the dead cripple run to? The blind man said that he saw the dead cripple sneaking back last night and said he was going to save you...Where is the cripple? Dead cripple, stop hiding, come out quickly!"

She looked around but couldn't find any trace of her old friend, so she called out a few more times.

The blind man opened his divine eyes, looked around, stopped Granny Si, and shook his head, saying, "Granny, don't shout, the cripple is not here. Mu'er, didn't the old cripple show up last night?"

Qin Mu calmed himself down, a smile appeared on his face, and he said softly: "Grandpa Lame showed up last night, and he helped me kill the enlightened being from the past universe."

The mute tightened the box in his hand, feeling a little uneasy. The blind man's face changed and he looked at the crutch in Qin Mu's hand.

Qin Mu quietly moved his hand to cover the bloodstains on the crutch.

Granny Si forced a smile and said, "This coward has always been as timid as a mouse. When did he become so brave... Where did he go?"

Qin Mu's smile remained unchanged as he said, "He went to the past universe. He told me that he had already robbed all of our universe and there was no place left for him to rob. He wanted to go to the past universe to steal the sacred treasures there."

Granny Si also had a smile on her face, and said with a smile: "This cripple is unhappy if he doesn't take something from others. He has indeed stolen all over the world, even the Emperor of Heaven's harem. He also stole the Emperor of Heaven's eggshells, and last time he boasted that there was nothing in the world worth his efforts."

Qin Mu nodded: "That's right. Grandpa Lame's ideal ambition is to keep stealing and challenge more and more difficult tasks."

The smile on Granny Si's face gradually deepened, and it was so deep that it could not be dissolved: "He is such a person. When he was still very incompetent, he stole from the treasury of Emperor Yanfeng and had one of his legs chopped off by Jiang Baigui. Even so, Jiang Baigui did not keep him."

"Um."

Granny Si continued to laugh, "When we were living in seclusion in the Old Man Village, he still liked to steal. I was tired of you, so when I sent you out, he would steal you back and send you to my room every time, and he would hide in a dark corner and happily watch me lose my temper with you."

"Well, that's the kind of person he is."

Granny Si breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "He must have felt that there was no fun here, so he went to the past universe to trouble the enlightened beings there. The cripple was so bad, the enlightened beings in the past universe are in big trouble this time!"

She laughed happily and clapped her hands, saying, "The enlightened beings in the past universe brought us so much suffering. They deserve it! They deserve it! Blind and dumb, don't you agree?"

She turned to look at the blind man and the mute man. The blind man and the mute man said nothing and nodded silently.

Granny Si said angrily, "It's this guy who left without saying goodbye that makes me angry! He's always like this, sneaking around, leaving without a word, never leaving any message, and then suddenly popping up to scare people! When he gets tired of playing in the past universe and comes back to scare me, I'll pin him to the ground and give him a good beating!"

She pretended to be serious and said to the blind and dumb man, "No one of you is allowed to stop me!"

As she spoke, she laughed again: "When I beat him, you never stopped me. Okay, okay, let's all go. Now that the crisis is over, we have a lot more things to do. I'm going to find Dutian Demon King. That guy ran fast last night and hid far away. I have to find him and ask him to move the Yankang people who were relocated back... This cripple guy..."

She shook her head, turned and left, showing her dissatisfaction with the cripple.

Granny Si left quickly, her steps getting faster and faster. When she was far away from Qin Mu and the others, her steps gradually slowed down.

She hid in a corner of the valley, sat down, and suddenly burst into tears.

She cried for a long time, then cheered herself up and went to find the Demon King Dutian.

She knew that Qin Mu didn't want to make her sad, so she made up the lie that the cripple had gone to the past universe. But she also didn't want Qin Mu to know that she was sad, so she continued to follow Qin Mu's lie. She was deceiving Qin Mu, deceiving the blind and the dumb, and also deceiving herself.

But only when there was no one around could she dare to face her own lies and let herself cry out loud.

However, she is a person who knows what is important and what is not. She has always been the backbone of the Disabled Elders Village. She must maintain the image of a backbone and cannot be sad in front of everyone in the Disabled Elders Village.

The people in Canlao Village all seem to be extremely talented, arrogant, and have their own strengths, but in fact they are all pitiful people with scars on their hearts.

The village chief is like this, as are the blind and the mute.

They were all a group of losers who clung to each other for warmth.

They are weaker than others and value friendship with each other more. If I collapse in front of them, they will collapse faster and more completely.

Beside Qin Mu, the blind man and the mute man didn't know what to say at this time. They patted Qin Mu on the shoulder and left with the broken Glazed Blue Sky Tower.

"The Glazed Blue Sky Tower is damaged, let's go and repair it." They said.

The two old men brought the Glazed Blue Sky Banner to the World Tree, stuck this precious treasure into the ground, unfolded the twenty-eight heavens, and worked silently to repair the damaged treasures.

From the degree of damage to these precious treasures, one can see how brutal and dangerous the battle last night was.

It is hard to imagine that Qin Mu could withstand such a powerful attack.

The two old men were refining treasures and repairing formation diagrams. They were tired, and the mute suggested, "Let's take a break."

The blind man stopped, and the two of them sat down on the ground under the tree. The mute took out his pipe, filled it with tobacco, and lit it.

He put the hookah to his lips, thought for a moment, then stopped and placed the hookah on the empty seat next to him.

The blind man saw this and was speechless.

When the hookah burned out automatically, the mute whispered, "He's finished smoking..."

The blind man nodded silently.

A few days later, the hundreds of thousands of people who had moved out of Montenegro came back one after another, and Montenegro gradually became lively again.

Xu Shenghua, as always, took the place of Qin Mu to receive the Dao Lu and repair the Black Mountain. He was the calmest person in the Great Black Mountain. No matter how big the things happened in the outside world, he still had enough mind and courage to complete his own tasks.

Lan Yutian continued to comprehend the truth under the tree and told everyone in Black Mountain what he had comprehended. After Xu Shenghua finished his own work, he would also come to comprehend and listen to him.

Qin Mu would come over occasionally to listen to their preaching, but he was always a little absent-minded.

Wei Suifeng and Shu Jun frowned when they saw this, but did not ask any questions.

Although time does not exist, it is often the non-existent time that can heal the pain.

Yan'er, Nan Di and Ming Huang did not come back. They were all busy with their own affairs.

On this day, Jiang Yunjian hurried over and said to everyone: "The national teacher has gone to the outer mines of Black Mountain!"

Everyone was shocked and stood up.
