New and Old Sword God
Chapter 328: New and Old Sword God
The wind directions of the two clouds were different, one to the left and the other to the right, and in the high altitude where the two clouds were, the wind direction was completely different from the direction of the two clouds and happened to be vertical.
The reason for this situation can only be the two clouds and the wind. They are not in the same space. Judging from the wind and the clouds, there are three spaces!
Add to that the Youdu that has always been in darkness and the Fengdu that is gray, and if the skies of these two worlds appeared here, they would definitely be black or gray.
Although he couldn't see the black or gray sky, Qin Mu was sure that both worlds were nearby!
In other words, at the source of Yongjiang River, there may be five worlds overlapping each other!
When night falls and darkness invades, one world after another appears, one after another, it is very lively!
"If you have time, you must go to the border between the Western Land and the Great Ruins. The darkness comes from there. Perhaps you can discover more secrets there."
Qin Mu fell from the sky, feeling a headache. What triggered the historical flashback? Which worlds were connected to the source of Yongjiang River? Where were these connecting points?
There are many secrets in Daxu, and this Yongjiang River seems to have many secrets as well.
"There are some secrets that I cannot touch. If I try to solve them by force, I'm afraid my life will be in danger. Let's go back to the village first."
As they went down the river, Xiong Xiyu kept looking at Qin Mu. Suddenly, she couldn't help but asked curiously, "Master Qin, are you really born and raised in Daxu?"
Qin Mu nodded and asked in confusion: "Why are you asking this?"
Xiong Xiyu asked, "How did you survive in such a dangerous place? There are all kinds of strange beasts, all kinds of weirdness, all kinds of dangers in Daxu. At night, darkness invades, monsters wreak havoc, and other worlds overlap with Daxu at any time. I can't imagine that you can survive until now!"
Qin Mu laughed out loud and said, "Sister Palace Master, you misunderstood! Daxu is actually very safe, much safer than the outside world. The outside of Daxu is really dangerous. To be honest, when I first walked out of Daxu and came to Yankang, I stayed in an inn by the river, and something happened that night. It was called Dijiang County, and everyone in the county was killed. Only Ling'er and I escaped. I have never encountered such a thing in Daxu."
Xiong Xiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "That doesn't mean Yankang is more dangerous than Daxu. You just happened to be there."
Qin Mu's face was calm, and he said, "Since I entered Yankang, I have encountered many more murderous intentions and assassinations than in Daxu. In comparison, Daxu is safe. The greatest danger I have encountered in Daxu is the danger caused by outsiders breaking into Daxu. Daxu is the safest place."
Xiong Xiyu was puzzled and didn't know why he felt that Daxu was safer than the outside world.
Long Qilin chuckled and said, "Palace Master, you don't know that my leader doesn't dare to use his real name when he goes out. If he says his real name, people who come to kill him will line up from Yankang Country to Canlao Village. Those righteous people hate him to death."
Qin Mu glared at him and quickly explained to Xiong Xiyu, "We, the Tiansheng Sect, are actually very upright, don't misunderstand me. By the way, after we get to the village, I can basically refine your poison, what are your plans?"
Xiong Xiyu was at a loss. Should she return to the Zhentian Palace?
Now she only has her daughter left. If she returns to Zhentian Palace to fight for power and take back the position of Palace Master, she is not sure about it and she is worried about Xiong Qier's life.
But she was reluctant to give up her ancestors' legacy.
Qin Mu saw her expression and said with a smile: "I can cure your poison, but your cultivation will not be able to recover for a while. I still need to nurse you back to health. If you can't make up your mind, I have a suggestion. You can follow me and stay in Yankang for a while. I am a doctor of Tai Academy and can recommend you to teach at Tai Academy."
Xiong Xiyu's beautiful eyes were like scissors. She looked at him deeply, unconsciously revealing the aura of the Lord of the Holy Land: "After all, I am the mistress of the True Heaven Palace. You want me to teach at the Imperial Academy?"
Qin Mu thought about it and asked tentatively: "How about you come to teach in the school of my Tiansheng Sect?"
Xiong Xiyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry, her eyes flickered, and she said, "I'll go to the Imperial College first."
Five days later, they finally arrived near Canlao Village. Qin Mu went to look for Hu Ling'er first. Several white foxes came out of Hu Ling'er's house and spoke in human language, "Sir, my elder sister went to Yankang Country to look for you. She has been gone for several months!"
Qin Mu asked carefully, and the leading white fox said: "The Demon King came to force a marriage, and the eldest sister beat the Demon King. The Demon King went to call his father, and the eldest sister couldn't beat him, so she ran away, saying that she was going to Yankang State to find the prince."
Qin Mu said goodbye and led everyone to Canlao Village. With Canlao Village in sight, Qin Mu became excited and shouted, "Grandpa Village Chief, Grandpa Pharmacist, I'm back!"
Xiong Xiyu looked towards the small village and saw an untidy bearded old man sitting in a recliner at the entrance of the village. He had no legs or arms, and his beard and hair were messy.
There is also a group of chickens patrolling in the village, looking very majestic.
"Mu'er is back? He's grown taller again."
The old man was rocking on the recliner, basking in the sun. He looked at Xiong Xiyu and the two white bats and showed a hint of surprise: "This girl is very beautiful and has strong cultivation. It's a pity that she was poisoned. The two white bats are quite interesting."
Two white bats clattered down from the tree above his head, hanging upside down. They looked at the village chief curiously and said, "You are very strong too!"
Qin Mu couldn't help but frown. He looked at the village chief, ran to the village to get a butcher knife, found a piece of white cloth from Granny Si's room and tucked it under the village chief's neck, boiled a basin of hot water, covered his face with a hot towel, and held it for a while.
Qin Mu took off the towel and shaved his beard with a butcher knife. He said, "Village chief, where are the people in the village? Where is the pharmacist? He is not in the village? Look, your beard is about to drag on the ground."
"The pharmacist ran away."
The village chief sighed, "A few women came here, found him, scared him away, and left me here. I can't even crawl back to the room, even if I have hands or feet."
Qin Mu was startled and asked in a lost voice: "Village Chief, how long have you been at the entrance of the village?"
"Almost two months."
Qin Mu was speechless. This old man had not moved for two months. He just stayed at the entrance of the village, motionless, allowing the wind, rain, and darkness to invade!
This is a level of laziness!
Xiong Xiyu was shocked. Judging from the layout of the stone statues in this village, the light from the four stone statues in this village of disabled old men could not possibly reach here at night. And this old man had been lying at the entrance of the village in the darkness for nearly two months without dying. Could he be a god?
Or is it that the weirdness in the darkness has no interest in this old man?
Qin Mu shaved the village chief's beard, washed his face, cut his messy white hair, combed his hair, then picked up the old man and put him in the room. He took off his clothes and changed into clean clothes, then washed his old clothes.
He carried the old man out again and placed him on the recliner, brewed a pot of tea, and asked, "Master Ma and the others haven't come back yet?"
The village chief said, "When Master Ma came back once, the old Tathagata and the Taoist master came looking for him and said that he was not Tathagata. The old Tathagata cut off one of his arms and said that he could not give it back to his children, but he could give him an arm."
Qin Mu cried out, "Old Tathagata cut off his own arm?"
"Yes. The old Tathagata's arm was taken away by the chicken dragons. It is in the chicken coop and the chicken dragons can't eat it."
The village chief sighed and said, "Old Master Ma looked very cold and hated the world, but when the old Tathagata cut off his arm and gave it to him, he was still moved, cried, and went to the Great Leiyin Temple to take charge. He said that he would come back when the new Tathagata comes. I guess he won't come back, he is waiting for the new Tathagata. In fact, when he sits in the Tathagata's seat, he will find that he is the Tathagata."
Qin Mu was in a daze and said, "I just happened to be going to the Dark Valley, and I'll go to the Great Leiyin Temple to see him. Where's Grandpa Lame? Isn't he inseparable from Master Ma?"
"The lame man is inseparable from Old Master Ma. Naturally, he went to visit the Great Leiyin Temple. He said he was worried that Old Master Ma would suffer a loss."
The village chief showed a worried look and said, "I'm afraid that after Old Master Ma becomes Tathagata, he will find that his entire mountain is empty."
Qin Mu did not see the butcher, the blind man and the mute either. He asked again and learned that the blind man, the butcher, the old Taoist master and Tathagata had run away together, saying that they were going to Xiaoyujing to have a look. The mute had originally stayed in the village. The day before the pharmacist escaped, the mute suddenly went mad and rushed into the darkness carrying his belongings. He did not know what he was chasing after and has not returned since.
Granny Si hasn't come back either. She should still be in Yankang Kingdom suppressing her inner demons and tempering her character.
Qin Mu cleaned up the village and put all kinds of treasures and things that looked like treasures into two Taotie bags. He then came to the medicine garden at the entrance of the village, stretched out his hand and pointed. A series of flying swords were inserted around the medicine garden, drilled into the ground, and cut the ground.
Qin Mu raised his hands high and lifted the whole medicinal garden lightly. Then the whole medicinal garden flew up. Then he put it into Pangong Tso's gluttonous bag.
The Taotie bag in Pangong Tso is better than his bag, with more space inside, which can hold a medicinal field.
Qin Mu carried the medicine basket of the pharmacist on his back and put the village chief in the basket. The village chief angrily said, "What are you doing, you little brat? Put me down!"
"I can't let you stay here."
Qin Mu tightened the medicine basket: "If something happens to you, who will know? From now on, wherever I go, the village chief will go with me!"
The village chief was silent, but he was somewhat touched. He smiled and said, "Put me down. Silly child, I am old and can no longer make my way around. I also promised the King of Hell that I would go to his world of the dead after I die. When I die, a bird god will come to pick me up."
Qin Mu suddenly felt that the medicine basket was extremely heavy, like carrying a mountain. Knowing that the village chief was unwilling to leave Daxu, he blinked and said, "Grandpa village chief, don't you want to meet the National Master Yankang? Doesn't the old Sword God want to meet the new Sword God? The National Master Yankang is known as a saint who appears once every five hundred years. He is worth seeing."
The medicine basket on his back suddenly became lighter, and the village chief's tone seemed to carry a hint of pride: "The new generation of Sword God? Well, it would be good for me to meet him before I die of old age. Let's go and see Master Yankang!"
