Stone Statue

Chapter 414 Stone Statue

Qin Mu was surprised. The butcher had also returned, so the village chief and the others should know that Xing'an had suffered heavy losses during his attack. Now that Xing'an's crisis was resolved, why didn't Ma Ye stay in the Great Leiyin Temple, but instead followed the village chief and the others?

"Village Chief, Xing'an..."

The village chief shook his head and said, "Xing'an's matter is a small matter. Calling you back is a big matter. Can you contact the Heavenly Demon Patriarch?"

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and he said, "Did something big happen? The ancestor went out with the guardian elders, traveling around the world, saying that he would let the guardian elders bring his ashes back after his death. Village chief, what happened? When I was traveling with the Saint Xiang just now, I also found something strange. A mountain cracked and a stone statue appeared. Could it be this?"

Si Yunxiang nodded quickly and said, "That stone statue is very scary. It looks like it grew out of the mountain and is rushing up!"

"There's more than one stone statue."

Master Ma gave people a feeling of wisdom as round as a pearl, and said: "There are about a hundred stone statues that appeared all over the world, and there are also many kinds of rare treasures. These things all appeared suddenly, and they are not from our world. There are also stone statues that drilled out from the ground of Mount Xumi, but ended up crashing into Mount Xumi. Instead of expanding Mount Xumi, it was suppressed."

Qin Mu looked strange.

The mute's face was solemn, and the ten fingers of his two hands jumped rapidly, making strange gestures.

"This kind of stone statue is a sign that gods and demons are about to descend."

The deaf man looked at his hand and said, "It is very difficult for gods and demons from other worlds to pass through the world barrier. They must first turn themselves into stone statues without power. Only then can they send the stone statues to this world. Their souls and magic power will remain in their respective worlds. If the stone statues want to recover their flesh and blood, they need a blood sacrifice to summon their souls from another world, and the stone statues will revive. The treasures we saw on the way were celestial weapons, used to trigger catastrophes and massacre the people. The flesh and blood of the people were used to sacrifice these stone statues... Don't look at me, this is what the mute said."

Everyone looked at the mute, and the village chief couldn't help but said, "Mute, how do you know so much? Even I don't know these things, but you know them clearly."

The dumb man grinned and made some gestures. The deaf man said, "This fellow is pretending to be deaf and dumb again. I don't understand."

"This matter is too horrible. In my opinion, don't look for any ancestors, just return to Daxu directly!"

Granny Si said, "So many stone statues have appeared in Yankang Country. If the stone statues are resurrected, they will become gods. Who can resist them? Master Ma, you should stop being your Tathagata. Whoever wants to be Tathagata can do it. I don't want this villa anymore. Let's go back to Daxu immediately!"

The butcher shook his head and said, "Mother-in-law, it's not a good idea to leave like this. Hiding in the big market is like being a turtle. A real man should stand up and do something vigorous!"

Granny Si glared at him and sneered, "Are you going to leave and wait for death? Like you, you're just going to be chopped off the waist and barely survive?"

The butcher's face turned red and he said angrily, "I won't argue with you, a woman!"

The village chief coughed and said, "Mother-in-law, the emperor must take responsibility..."

"Can you take responsibility?"

Granny Si laughed in anger: "Are you capable of taking responsibility? You can't do anything yourself and yet you pushed Mu'er into the fire pit! If you have the ability, you should take the responsibility! Now you've been chopped like a stick and you're hiding in the ruins pretending to be dead every day, and you're still licking your face and saying you're taking responsibility!"

The village chief said angrily: "You, you..."

"You what?"

Granny Si said viciously, "There are more than a hundred stone statues. How can you flatten them? Otherwise, you better go back to the ruins and pretend to be dead!"

The deaf man coughed and said, "Mother-in-law, you are going too far..."

Granny Si yelled, "What's your business? I raised Mu'er with all my heart, and you slap his hands with a gloomy face every day. If it weren't for the fact that you, a nerd, can write well and can teach Mu'er to read, I would have beaten you to death long ago!"

The deaf man flew into a rage and stammered, "You can't read books without being beaten... You, you are making trouble! Only villains and women..."

Granny Si covered his head with a cowhide, and the deaf man immediately turned into a bull, mooing.

The pharmacist said quickly: "Mother-in-law, I think..."

"roll!"

Granny Si said coldly: "Go back to your room and serve your women!"

"Okay." The pharmacist responded readily and turned away.

The mute tapped his pipe, gestured and said, "Ah ah..."

"Shut up! You're a bad guy, full of bad intentions!"

The mute lowered his head, feeling extremely aggrieved, and stopped talking. The lame man opened his mouth and wanted to speak, but Granny Si turned her head and looked at him. The lame man shuddered and laughed dryly, "Why are you so fierce? We can discuss it if we have something to discuss, haha, we can discuss it... Master Ma, Master Ma, say something! I obey Master Ma's words, if Master Ma says to go back to the village, I will go back to the village, if Master Ma says to do something, I will do it!"

Granny Si glanced at Master Ma and said, "If you don't go back to Daxu, I will go to your Leiyin Temple to see how many monks are left in your temple!"

Master Ma said nothing.

"Blind man, say something." The village chief looked at the blind man.

The blind man said, "If Mu'er wants to stay, then he can stay. If Mu'er wants to go back to Daxu, then we will go back to Daxu too."

Granny Si looked at him coldly. The blind man closed his eyes and said, "Granny, if you want to take Mu'er away, none of them can stop you, but I can. I have also taken Mu'er with me, and I know his determination. We are old, and if the village chief does not complete the sacred bridge, he may not be able to make it to the Spring Festival next year. Why do we have to make things awkward? Let's listen to what Mu'er says."

Granny Si's heart softened again. She looked at Qin Mu and said softly, "Mu'er, you are grown up now. The bad guys in the village taught you to be like this. Don't learn bad things from them. Go back with me and marry whichever girl you like. I am waiting to hold your grandson..."

Qin Mu looked around in confusion, then lowered his head.

Si Yunxiang stood beside him, also somewhat confused, not knowing what had happened. She thought to herself, "But my aunt is indeed very powerful and domineering. She scolded these god-like beings into submission. When will I ever be as powerful as her..."

After a while, Qin Mu raised his head and asked in confusion: "These stone statues are the same as the stone statues in Daxu, they are also transformed from gods and demons. Did they suddenly appear because Yuxiu and I created the Yuanshen Yin and caused the changes? Those stone statues are here to destroy Yankang, right? So I caused the disaster? Are they here to kill me?"

The village chief said, "It may not be caused by you. It is more likely that it was caused by Emperor Yanfeng's cannon that killed Lord Shangcang Yujun. Calculating the time, Shangcang should have reported Emperor Yanfeng's cannon to their master. The reforms of Imperial Master Yankang and Emperor Yanfeng will sooner or later lead to such things, but now it has been advanced by many years."

The butcher said, "This incident is not caused by you, but by the reform. First, Emperor Yanfeng's cannon attracted the attention of the master of heaven, and then you and Princess Xiu created the Yuanshen Yin, which caused some subtle changes in the avenue."

"Then there is still my reason behind this."

Qin Mu thought for a moment and said to Granny Si, "Granny, I'm not going back. I have many friends here, Wei Yong, Shen Wanyun, Mu Qingdai, Yue Qinghong, and I don't want to hear about their deaths in a few years. Didn't you say that you should fix the troubles and messes you have caused yourself?"

Granny Si was slightly startled: "The butcher taught you to be loyal, and you really are loyal? What's the point of being loyal? Can it save your life?"

Qin Mu shook his head: "No. But it can make me feel at ease."

Granny Si was stunned and sighed, "Are you at ease? I wonder if you will still be at ease when Yankang is destroyed and in the midst of war. You have grown up and have your own ideas. Well, I won't force you. Please ask the ancestor to come back."

Qin Mu blinked and asked curiously, "Why do you want to invite the ancestor back?"

"We old bones discussed it and decided that the heavens would send down a calamity to trigger the treasures that broke out of the ground, causing a natural disaster to break out. We would use the people who died in the natural disaster as sacrifices to revive these stone statues."

The village chief said: "So, after discussing with a few of us, we decided to stop the gods from succeeding."

Qin Mu was stunned and wondered, "Since it is the incarnation of a god or devil, why don't they smash these stone statues?"

"After the gods and demons are petrified, they become extremely strong and difficult to break."

The blind man asked, "Have you ever seen a broken stone statue in the ruins?"

Qin Mu thought about it and realized that it was true. He had traveled in Daxu many times and rarely saw broken stone statues. The last time he was in the East China Sea in Daxu, he saw many stone statues of Dragon Kings with their heads cut off.

It was probably the stone statue of the Heavenly King in the Heavenly King Temple that rode a dragon unicorn and went to the East China Sea to quell the rebellion at night, and beheaded the stone statue of the Dragon King with the Green Dragon Crescent Blade.

"Can the statue be moved to the ruins?"

Qin Mu said: "Move them to Daxu and put them together with the statues in Daxu. Then we don't have to worry about them reviving and causing trouble."

The lame man laughed and said, "Carrying a stone statue is like carrying a god. Who can carry a god for tens of thousands of miles into the Great Ruins? And it's not just one or two statues, but hundreds!"

Qin Mu frowned. The statue was indeed terribly heavy. A being like Ma Ye would have to stop and rest after carrying the statue for only two or three hundred feet. And Ma Ye was also the one who excelled in physical strength in Canlao Village!

"Saint Xiang, is there any way in the Holy Church to contact the founder or the guardian elders?" Qin Mu asked with his head tilted.

Si Yunxiang said quickly, "My family has a telepathic mirror. The two mirrors form a pair. If you silently recite the other person's name and think about their voice and appearance, you can communicate with them, see each other, and hear each other's voice. The ancestor and the guardian elders all have telepathic mirrors, which makes it easy to communicate. I will go and inform the old lady and ask her to contact the ancestor!"

Qin Mu was surprised and asked, "The Holy Church also has something like a mind-viewing mirror?"

Si Yunxiang rolled her eyes at him and said, "You've been the Holy Cult Leader for two years. How many times have you been to Shenglin Mountain? Have you ever visited the Holy Cult Si family, the Holy Cult Yu family, and the Holy Cult Master family? If you weren't doing a good job as the Cult Leader, I would have rebelled against you long ago!"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "You can't. You don't have the ability."

Si Yunxiang went crazy and had no choice but to contact Si family's great-grandmother. She really wanted to be as majestic as Grandma Si, but this kid was not polite and did not give her any chance to be majestic.

"Grandpa Tu, the sun, moon, stars, and galaxies in the sky are all fake."

Qin Mu came to the butcher and asked, "Grandpa Tu should know a lot of secrets, right?"

The butcher pulled out his butcher knife, sharpened the blades of the two knives, and said, "Speaking of this, I have to mention the martial arts I created, the move of the endless thread of sky. Back then, I was the grandmaster of a martial arts school, and I was determined to create a unique martial art that had never been seen before. At that time, I had fanatical self-confidence, thinking that I was invincible and that I could break any magical power in the world with one sword. However, I have never fought against the sky, so I want to split the sky, jump out of the sky, and fight against the sky..."
