The Two Heroes of Yankang
Chapter 264: The Two Heroes of Yankang
Qin Mu said goodbye to Granny Si and walked with the emperor, letting Long Qilin follow behind. Qin Mu taught Emperor Yanfeng the Creation Spiritual Skill in the Great Yu Tianmo Sutra, and also taught him his Tyrant Body Three Dan Skill, saying: "Practice these two skills together, while walking, it will be of great benefit to your injuries, and at least strengthen your body."
Emperor Yanfeng was skeptical, and tried to practice his Tyrant Body Three Dan Gong and Creation Spirit Gong. Unconsciously, his complexion improved a little, and he smiled and said, "This method is good. I can actually practice it while walking. I feel that my strength has recovered a little."
"Practice first. When you have made some progress, the injuries on your body will heal and your body will be strong. I will then teach you the Creation of Ghosts and Gods to refine your soul, which will stabilize your spirit. Then I will use medicine to heal your soul. With both methods working together, the injuries on your soul will heal."
Qin Mu suddenly lost himself in thought: "I have passed on the skills in the Great Yu Tian Mo Sutra to the emperor. Does the emperor want to join my Tian Sheng Sect? What position should I give him?"
He glanced at Emperor Yanfeng with some ill intentions: "I am still short of a Heavenly King. If I can get the emperor to join and become the Heavenly King of the Heavenly Saint Sect, the entire Yankang Kingdom will belong to the Heavenly Saint Sect..."
Emperor Yanfeng practiced diligently and hard, and his body became stronger and he also developed some vitality, but he no longer had the divine power, so his cultivation was very limited.
Qin Mu was also practicing at a leisurely pace. He activated the Three Dan Techniques for Tyrant Body and saw five rays of light shining in the sky. They were the Five Yaos in his body connected to the Five Yaos stars, attracting the power of the Five Yaos to improve his cultivation.
Emperor Yanfeng was slightly startled: "He is still in the Five Lights realm?"
He had always thought that Qin Mu was already a master of the Six Harmonies Realm. After all, Qin Mu's strength was already comparable to that of a master of the Six Harmonies Realm. His cultivation was even comparable to that of a master of the Six Harmonies Realm. He did not expect that Qin Mu was still at the Five Stars Realm.
"The Great Cultivation Demonic Scripture of the Demonic Cult is indeed extraordinary."
Emperor Yanfeng admired in his heart, but he didn't know that Qin Mu's vitality mainly came from the Tyrant Body Three Dan Gong, and what Emperor Yanfeng was practicing now was the Tyrant Body Three Dan Gong.
Qin Mu's cultivation had indeed reached the peak of the Five Stars Realm, and was not far from the Six Harmonies Realm. He could try to break through as long as the Five Stars in his divine treasury were stabilized.
The two walked for four days, sleeping in the open, and arrived at the next city. Qin Mu took Emperor Yanfeng into the city and bought some medicinal herbs. It was the first time for Emperor Yanfeng to suffer so much, and both of his feet were worn out and covered with blisters.
In the inn, Qin Mu put him in a wooden barrel and soaked him in medicine overnight. The emperor fell asleep in the barrel. When he woke up the next day, he found that all the blisters on his feet had disappeared. He felt much lighter and was amazed.
The two continued on their journey and when they arrived in Qizhou, they saw many people with supernatural powers driving away the villagers, whipping and scolding them.
"The land here belongs to my Qishan sect!"
Those people with supernatural powers should be disciples of Qishan Sect, practicing thunder magic. They controlled a flurry of lightning and drove the villagers from dozens of villages together. They shouted, "The emperor has ordered the restoration of the ancestral system. The sect's land belongs to the sect! From now on, you don't have to pay the emperor's grain, you only need to pay tribute to Qishan Sect!"
The head of a village was dissatisfied and just after arguing for a few words, he was struck to death by a thunderbolt.
Qin Mu stopped to watch, frowning slightly. Emperor Yanfeng's face turned pale and he said coldly: "This is a perverse act!"
As they passed through other states and counties, they saw that the power of the sects had revived, and they were grabbing territories everywhere, looting wealth, and dividing up the territory, making the situation even more chaotic.
The snowstorm had already caused a lot of damage, and the resurgence of sectarian power, dividing up the land and capturing people as their tenants, added fuel to the fire.
Local governments were originally providing disaster relief, but now that relief has stopped, countless people have frozen to death or starved to death.
Emperor Yanfeng remained silent and practiced even harder, trying to repair his divine storage and restore his cultivation.
Arriving in Yongzhou, Qin Mu went straight to the City Lord's Mansion. The prefect of Yongzhou hurried over to greet him. He glanced at Emperor Yanfeng but didn't recognize him. His eyes fell on Qin Mu again and he said, "Master..."
"Talk inside."
Qin Mu walked into the mansion and asked Long Qilin to find a place to lie down. He glanced at the starving emperor and said, "Master of the Jingyi Hall, give this bald... give this senior brother a bowl of rice."
The prefect of Yongzhou was the head of the Jingyi Hall of the Tiansheng Sect, named Duanmu Jing. He waved his hand and asked someone to take the emperor down to eat. He smiled and said, "Why is the leader bringing a big monk with him?"
Qin Mu didn't say much, and asked, "What's the situation in the capital?"
"The situation in the capital is not good."
Duanmu Jing said: "Many Taoist priests and monks from the Daoist sect and the Great Leiyin Temple have gone to the capital. The Taoist master and Tathagata have each issued decrees to confer the title of Pure Emperor on the prince, and he will ascend the throne on the sixth day of March. There are still spies of the prince moving around, and if they find anyone who looks like the emperor, they will kill him with a knife."
Qin Mu nodded quietly, which was similar to what he guessed.
Duanmu Jing continued, "Also, the Crown Prince is in charge of the country and has great power. Many noble families are controlled by Buddhism and Taoism. Some of the big noble families in the capital have already changed sides, and some of them have many monks and Taoists living in their homes, refusing to leave. These noble families dare not turn against them and can only let them live there. Now the capital is full of all kinds of people, good and bad people are mixed together, it can be said that it is no longer the emperor's world."
"The prince also issued an edict, saying that he wanted to restore the ancestral system and promulgate the law of supply, returning the land of each sect to each sect, and the rest of the land to Yankang, and..."
Duanmu Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "The envoy from Langjuxu State talked about the border war and negotiated peace with the prince. The prince ceded the sixteen states of Yunlu to Langjuxu State. The envoys from the barbarians also came and were discussing the cession of land and compensation..."
“It’s so easy to lose money.”
Qin Mu laughed and said, "Your Highness, this emperor is a coward."
Duanmu Jing was a little puzzled. Qin Mu didn't seem angry at all, but he was just fine. He didn't know that Qin Mu never considered himself a Yankang citizen. He was a god-forsaken person in Daxu from the beginning to the end, so he couldn't be angry at all.
"The sixth day of the third month is indeed an auspicious day for ascending the throne, suitable for killing people."
Qin Mu asked, "Have you found out any news about the Imperial Master?"
"I found out."
Qin Mu was in high spirits, took out a few pages of paper, and said, "Master, prepare the herbs on these pages and put them in Qinzhou City."
Duanmu Jing said yes.
Qin Mu called Emperor Yanfeng and Long Qilin and said, "Let's leave the city."
Emperor Yanfeng said hurriedly: "I'm not full yet."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "I'll take you to see the Imperial Master and get you some food on the way."
Emperor Yanfeng quickly put down the steamed bun, looked solemn, and followed him silently. After a while, Emperor Yanfeng said, "I want to ask him where he has been these days!"
Qin Mu picked him up and placed him on Long Qilin's back, then jumped up and stood on Long Qilin's forehead.
The dragon unicorn stepped on the fire cloud and galloped away. Emperor Yanfeng was blown by a few cold winds and sneezed continuously. Suddenly, Qin Mu's whole body was ignited with flames. Emperor Yanfeng felt better.
The Dragon Qilin ran for two days, and Qin Mu signaled the strange beast to land. It came to a mountain area. It was steaming hot here, and there was a glow rising from the valley, which kept evaporating upwards and dispersing in the air.
“Divine light!”
Emperor Yanfeng looked solemn, sniffed the air, and said, "Bloody smell. There is divine blood in this valley!"
Qin Mu took him into the valley, and sure enough, they saw a blood lake. Next to the blood lake was a wooden house, and behind the house was a small river. The river water was somewhat warmed by the divine blood. A woman in a snow-white sable fur coat with a slightly bulging belly was standing by the river.
At her feet was a middle-aged man holding a mallet and hammering clothes on a stone slab. Next to the man was a bamboo basket filled with washed clothes.
Qin Mu jumped off the back of the dragon unicorn, and Emperor Yanfeng also jumped off the back of the dragon unicorn, but they lost their footing and fell to the ground with a plop.
The man and woman heard the voice and turned around. Qin Mu walked towards them with a smile on his face.
"You don't even give me a hand!" Emperor Yanfeng got up and hurriedly followed.
The middle-aged man put down the hammer, wiped his wet hands on his lapel, stood up and stood with the woman. His face was a little pale, and he looked at Qin Mu and the emperor who were approaching with a smile.
"National Master!"
Emperor Yanfeng's pace was getting faster and faster. Just as he was about to rush forward to question the culprit, he suddenly noticed that blood was oozing out of Yankang's chest and his face was not looking good. He was shocked and cried, "How could my imperial teacher end up like this?"
Imperial Master Yankang greeted the emperor and noticed that he had lost all his cultivation. He felt sorry for him and said, "Isn't your majesty the same?"
The woman said quickly: "You are also injured, don't let your mind get distracted."
Qin Mu was stunned. The two strongest men of Yankang Kingdom were both seriously injured!
"Master Tiansheng greets the wife of the National Master." Qin Mu saluted the woman.
The wife of the Imperial Master was puzzled when she saw that the emperor had a bald head. She quickly said, "Don't stand there. Come sit inside."
"After I left Xiaoyujing, I wanted to investigate the source of the natural disaster, and then I met a god holding a gourd in his hand."
In the cabin, Imperial Master Yankang said calmly, "The natural disaster was released from his gourd. He was injured, and I was injured even more seriously. In addition, my wife was pregnant, so I stayed here for a while."
Although he said it lightly, one can imagine that the battle must have been extremely dangerous!
Emperor Yanfeng looked at the wounds on his body, then looked at Qin Mu with a questioning look.
Qin Mu examined it and shook his head, saying, "The wound left by the gods contains the will of the gods. I can't cure it. If you want to cure it, you have to go back to the village and ask the pharmacist to help."
Imperial Master Yankang said, "I also know that you can't cure it, so I didn't go to find you. My injuries are too severe now, and I can't go back to the capital, otherwise I will die. I can't let others know that I'm injured. I never thought that Your Majesty..."
The two middle-aged men looked at each other and suddenly burst into laughter. Master Yankang laughed so hard that he coughed.
Emperor Yanfeng looked outside and asked, "The blood lake outside?"
"That god left it behind. He was very strong and only suffered minor skin injuries."
The wound on Master Yankang's chest was broken again. Qin Mu applied some ambergris to him, but the wound was immediately torn apart by the remaining magical power hidden in his wound.
This kind of injury cannot be cured by medicine, and even the elixir that can bring a person back to life cannot remove the remaining magical powers of the gods.
Qin Mu thought for a moment, took out the sword pill given to him by the mute, and gently activated it. Sword lights grew out of the sword pill, and Qin Mu thrust it forward, stabbing it around the wound of National Master Yan Kang.
The Imperial Preceptor’s wife cried out in a low voice, but Imperial Preceptor Yankang and Emperor Yanfeng did not move.
Qin Mu stretched out his index finger, the fingertips were filled with vitality, like a cloud spinning on his fingertips, and lightly tapped on the sword ball. With a "swish" sound, another sword light shot out from the sword ball, passed through the house, and inserted into the blood lake.
Boom——
The blood lake shook violently, and there was a loud earth-shaking noise. After three consecutive shakes, the sword light of the sword ball was shattered, and the sword ball also became smaller.
"This is a genius doctor, really ingenious."
Imperial Master Yankang exclaimed: "He actually used the might of divine blood to offset the remaining divine power of the gods."
Qin Mu applied ambergris again, and his wound finally stopped bleeding. Qin Mu said, "I can't draw out the other magical powers in your body. Your Majesty, Imperial Master, there are two options now. One is that I send you to Daxu for treatment, and the second is to go to the capital. You choose one."
Imperial Master Yankang looked at Emperor Yanfeng. The two middle-aged men had a telepathic connection and said in unison: "The capital city!"
Qin Mu pulled out his butcher knife and pressed the head of Imperial Master Yankang on the table. The Imperial Master's wife exclaimed, "Master Qin, what are you doing?"
Emperor Yanfeng touched his bald head and said, "Madam, you will know it by looking at me."
Qin Mu's swordsmanship was very agile. In the blink of an eye, he shaved the head of the Imperial Master Yankang, then took out some incense and burned a few scars on his head. He then took out a set of yellow monk robes from his Taotie bag, and said with a smile, "I made an extra set for the Imperial Master. Wait a minute, I will paint a blue birthmark on half of his face..."
He finished with Imperial Master Yankang, and then looked at the Imperial Master's wife. Imperial Master Yankang said quickly: "Master, my wife is pregnant, and she has lost her hair due to the cold weather..."
"Then be a Taoist nun."
Qin Mu took out a Taoist robe and handed it to the wife of the national teacher. He suddenly blinked and smiled, "By the way, do you three want to join the sect? My Tiansheng Sect has good food and drink. If you don't have the ability, I can teach you some skills. I guarantee you won't starve to death."
