Taoist Disciple

Chapter 1610 Taoist Disciple

"Give him a little hope, even if it's just a tiny bit of hope, and he'll cheer up."

The Great Brahma Buddha said: "He is such a person, he will not let go of any hope. Ling Tianzun, what happened before?"

Ling Tianzun said: "Earlier, he was ready to go to the Heavenly Court and kneel down to admit defeat, begging Hao Tianzun to save the human race."

Daozu and Lord Brahma fell silent.

If he was not forced into a desperate situation, a person like Qin Mu would never do such a thing.

Previously, the pressure Qin Mu faced was too great, to the point of crushing him!

The most important thing is not the death of Kaihuang, which is just an introduction. The most important thing is the fall of Youdu.

The fall of Youdu was what crushed him!

"Mu Tianzun, the Heavenly Court army may be able to delay for a dozen years or even decades, but what if Hao Tianzun, Huo Tianzun and others come to attack?"

Daozu asked: "How to resist?"

Qin Mu fell into deep thought again. Granny Si glared at Daozu fiercely. Daozu blushed and asked the Great Brahma King Buddha: "Shouldn't I ask?"

The Lord Brahma Buddha said, "You should ask, but not now. Since you have asked, don't take it to heart. Donor Si is just too eager to please his child."

Daozu praised: "The old monk is very experienced in human relationships."

In Wen Dao Courtyard, Qin Mu walked back and forth again. For seven or eight days in a row, he kept walking like this, constantly thinking about countermeasures.

"Has Yuchenzi come back?"

He suddenly asked loudly: "Yuchenzi!"

Yu Chenzi had just returned to Wen Dao Yuan and came running over breathlessly, asking, "What do you want, Imperial Master?"

"I will write a letter of surrender and present it to Lord Haotian, saying that I am willing to surrender."

Qin Mu said quickly: "Send my surrender letter to the Heavenly Palace and give it to Lord Hao Tian. You may die if you go there."

Yu Chenzi said solemnly: "I am willing to die for my country. I am willing to offer my head to Yankang."

Qin Mu picked up the brush and Yu Chenzi ground the ink.

Qin Mu was about to start writing, but stopped.

Yu Chenzi was puzzled. He saw Qin Mu slowly gathering his spirit. Gradually, he became disheartened and hopeless. He shed two lines of tears and when he wrote, the tip of his pen trembled twice, as if he was choking.

Then, his pen moved as he wrote on the paper words of surrender to Lord Hao Tian. His words were sincere, yet there was a sense of unwillingness in his sincerity, as if he was willing to fight to the death for the safety of the human race, and to fight to the death with both his life intact.

However, he lowered his posture and said, "Your Majesty is the Heavenly Emperor, and I am also the Heavenly Lord. We should lead Ling, Yue, You, Tai Shi and other ministers to surrender. We must not be careless."

In his speech, he pleaded with Emperor Haotian to send an envoy to discuss the transfer of power between the two sides and the specific matters of surrender. He also revealed his attachment to power, saying: "I wish to have a corner of the land as a place to live in seclusion, lead the people of the corner, build a golden statue for your majesty, and pray and worship day and night."

He then talked about Yankang's industries, listing them like the back of his hand, what each factory could produce, which factories could be handed over to the Heavenly Court, and which factories wanted to keep for themselves. He also talked about the provinces under Yankang's jurisdiction, the heavens under its jurisdiction, what treasures the heavens produced, the number of heavenly coins in the Yankang treasury, the number of heavenly coins in each province, and so on.

Yu Chenzi watched and shook his head.

Qin Mu's attitude was too humble, almost flattering.

"But why did the Imperial Master say that I might die if I go to deliver the surrender?" he wondered.

But Qin Mu wrote again: "Langhui is the daughter of the Creator, who is both beautiful and gifted. I have already slept with her. If Your Majesty likes her and wants to make her your queen, I will send her to Your Majesty at night and day."

Yu Chenzi shuddered several times, his face dark as iron, and he kept muttering in his heart: "I might die! The national teacher is vicious. He said that he slept with Langhui. If Lord Haotian wants to be the emperor, he will never want a woman he has slept with, let alone make this woman the empress! Before the surrender, Lord Haotian might be very happy, but after the surrender, he might kill me!"

Qin Mu sealed the surrender letter and handed it to Yu Chenzi, saying, "Can Yu Jun do this?"

Yu Chenzi hesitated for a moment, then said with emotion: "I am willing to die for Yankang!"

Qin Mu looked at him deeply and said, "You don't have to die. With your intelligence, you can do all this, but you have to be careful of one person."

Yu Chenzi's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "The one who knows me best is the Imperial Master. May I ask who can be my opponent?"

"This person's name is Meng Yungui, and he is Master Meng, one of the four great celestial masters in heaven."

Qin Mu instructed: "Meng Yungui once saw through my plan to build a country, so he must be able to see my intention of submitting the surrender."

"The intention of the Imperial Master is to delay the time for Heaven to send out troops by negotiating surrender."

Yu Chenzi said: "The reason why the national master listed how many factories there are in Yankang and what each factory can produce is actually to put his own interests before the bandits. If there is only one bandit, it is fine, but there are bandit leaders such as Hao, Huo, Xu, Zu, Taichu, and Taiji in the Heavenly Court. They need to divide up the interests of Yankang. How to divide it, it takes time for them to play games with each other."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "And then?"

Holding the surrender letter, Yu Chenzi continued, "They discussed how to divide it, but the national master might not be willing to give it. Although the national master surrendered, he is one of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Heaven, and he also has to share some of the benefits. And this also requires leaving some of Yankang's benefits. Only if Yankang survives can it bring greater benefits to Heaven, so Heaven will not eat up Yankang completely in one go, so there is room for constant discussion and wrangling."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "And then?"

"It takes time for the Heavenly Court messenger to come to Yankang, and it takes some time to go back and report to the Heavenly Lords. It takes some time for the Yankang messenger to go to the Heavenly Court and negotiate in the Heavenly Court. It takes some time for the Yankang messenger to return to Yankang and report to the Imperial Master."

Yu Chenzi said: "With the back and forth, the time will be delayed longer and longer. If the envoy selected by the National Master is shameless and has a black heart, the delay can be even longer. This is why the National Master chose me to go to the Heavenly Palace. Moreover, the National Master can also promise more benefits to a certain Heavenly Venerable, so that the Heavenly Venerables will argue with each other for these benefits. By the time the results are discussed, two or three years have passed."

Qin Mu smiled.

The Great Brahma King Buddha turned sideways to Daozu and said, “Your disciples of the Dao sect are quite capable.”

Daozu was quite proud and said with a smile: "We in Daoism are good at calculations. Yu Chenzi absorbed microscopic numerology during the Yankang Reform and comprehended chaos numerology, which is quite amazing. His chaos numerology is good at fuzzy calculations."

Yu Chenzi changed the subject and bowed, saying, "Since the Second Heavenly Master Meng Yungui can see through it, I beg the Imperial Master to show me a way out."

Qin Mu pondered and said, "Meng Yungui is a human..."

Yu Chenzi said: "The feelings of the same race may not be able to move his heart. State Master, please change the way."

Qin Mu said: "Meng Yungui is greedy for money..."

Yu Chenzi shook his head and said, "This is his way of disguise. It's simply because he is a human and is too smart, which makes him cautious and deliberately expose his greed for money to avoid being harmed by others. State Master, please try another way."

Qin Mu said: "The third Heavenly Master, Bai Yuqiong, is also a human, and is also the reincarnation of the Southern Emperor. After you go to Heaven, go see her first. Bai Yuqiong knows Meng Yungui very well and can tell you Meng Yungui's weaknesses."

Yu Chenzi said, "Then, Imperial Master, how can I impress Bai Yuqiong?"

Qin Mu used his magic power to refine a jade pendant using the way of reincarnation, and said, "Take this jade pendant to see her. She owes me, and it's time to pay it back. Tell her that if Meng Yungui doesn't shut up, the human race will be exterminated."

Yu Chenzi did not take the jade pendant: "How can the Imperial Master be sure that Bai Yuqiong is loyal to the human race?"

"She has reincarnated one hundred and ninety-seven times and has never been reincarnated into another race."

Qin Mu's eyes flickered: "One hundred and ninety-seven generations, all of them are human."

Yu Chenzi put away the Samsara Jade Pendant, bowed and said: "I will definitely live up to the trust of the National Master!" After that, he stood up and left.

Qin Mu watched him go away and said with emotion: "It is a blessing for the human race to have such a genius."

After he dealt with the matter, he suddenly looked around and asked, "The Divine Emperor Langxuan is dead. Who is his clone in Yankang? Has the Emperor sent someone to kill him?"

At this time, Ling Yuxiu walked in from outside and said, "I have sent the Immortal King of Yujing to Canglang Island to kill Yu Cangqi, the reincarnation of Langxuan. There will be news in a few days!"

"Your Majesty, please inform Wang Muran immediately not to kill Lang Xuan's clone, and ask him to beg for Yu Cang's life. Force him to the South Sky and let him meet Fire Lord!"

Qin Mu bowed and said, "Your Majesty, please issue an order."

Everyone was puzzled. Ling Yuxiu looked at him for a moment and said, "What is the purpose of the Imperial Master forcing Langxuan's clone to enter the South Heaven? Is it to give Huo Tianzun the opportunity to advance?"

"Lang Xuan's entry into the South Heaven is not a qualification for the advancement of Fire Heavenly Venerable."

Qin Mu said: "It was the beginning of Fire Lord's death."

"Why do you say that?" Ling Yuxiu frowned.

"Lang Xuan, the son of Taichu. Hao Tian Zun, the son of Taichu. Hao Tian Zun can kill Lang Xuan, but Huo Tian Zun is a slave and cannot kill Lang Xuan, otherwise he will die. Hao Tian Zun tolerates him, but Taichu cannot."

Qin Mu said slowly, "When Langxuan arrives in the South Heaven, Huo Tianzun will hand Langxuan over to Hao Tianzun, and Taichu will kill him to avenge his son. If Huo Tianzun doesn't hand Langxuan over to Hao Tianzun, Hao Tianzun will kill him."

He said calmly, "Now, Huo Tianzun has become a burden to Hao Tianzun. The world is about to be unified, and Huo Tianzun's share of the pie from Hao Tianzun has already made him feel painful. Hao Tianzun has always been very suspicious of Huo Tianzun. After all, Huo Tianzun is a human, so he can't let him rest assured. He is always worried that Huo Tianzun will defect to the human race. Even if Huo Tianzun does not defect to the human race, but defect to Taichu, it will become the straw that breaks the camel's back, making his good situation unfavorable. At this time, the dead Huo Tianzun is the best dog."

Ling Yuxiu said: "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked."

Qin Mu said: "Lang Xuan's reincarnation is irrelevant. His going to Nantian is just a fuse, a fuse for his life."

Ling Yuxiu's soul whistled out of his body and disappeared in a flash. He activated his soul and went to inform Wang Muran in person.

Qin Mu closed his eyes, and after a moment he slowly opened them. He walked to the old Buddha and the Taoist master and sat down.

Daozu made tea and said, "Tianzun has relaxed. Not planning to do anything else?"

"No more."

Qin Mu drank tea and said calmly: "Now I just need to wait for the negotiation between Heavenly Court and Yan Kang, and wait for the death of Fire Lord."

At this moment, Hu Ling'er and Si Yunxiang entered with hundreds of Taoist masters. Hu Ling'er said crisply, "Sir, the trade data and Tianbi circulation data of the heavens and the worlds that you wanted have been sorted out!"

Qin Mu quickly drank the tea in the cup and got busy again.

Daozu shook his head: "I really can't sit still."
