Asking a Question That Awakens the Deaf

Chapter 507 A Shocking Question

"I now realize that Wen Yuan's vision and ability are far superior to those of us leaders."

In the garden behind Wenyuan Hall, all the former leaders stood up. Si Yanwei was filled with emotion and suddenly remembered something. She said, "Why did I accept you as my disciple back then? I suddenly realized that my vision was so good!"

The young ancestor blushed slightly and said, "When the master accepted me as his disciple, he said it was because I was beautiful and had good aptitude. Of course, the main reason was my beauty."

Qin Mu looked around. Everyone here was handsome and beautiful. None of the previous leaders of the Demonic Cult, including the young ancestor, were ugly.

Si Yanwei's face also turned red, and she smiled and said, "I remember, I accepted you as my disciple because I planned to let you use the love between men and women to break my heart. My Great Yu Tian Mo Sutra focuses on cultivating the heart. I broke my master's heart, so I sat on the position of the leader. I also need someone to break my heart. As the saying goes, there is no creation without destruction. If you can break my heart, you will be the leader. If you can't break my heart, you will let me go one step further, and maybe I can become a demon or a god. But later I was on guard against you, and leader Yu Lian took advantage of the opportunity and plotted against me."

Master Yulian was very proud and said, "Master only guarded against Junior Brother's love, but didn't know that it was difficult to guard against a hidden arrow. How old was Junior Brother at that time? You were thinking about him. If you didn't have such thoughts and were more careful about me, maybe Junior Brother could really become a Saint Master."

Qin Mu was thoughtful. The reason why the name of the Heavenly Demon Sect had the word "demon" in it was probably related to this kind of master-disciple inheritance.

This style of a master allowing his apprentice to plot against him cannot but be called evil, just like Li Tianxing. When Li Tianxing was plotted against by Granny Si, Granny Si was only at the Heavenly Man Realm, and it was impossible for her to kill Li Tianxing, who was already at the Divine Bridge Realm, with her true strength.

And Li Tianxing gave her this opportunity.

The dispute between master and disciple in the Tianmo Sect should have originated from the founder. However, the founder's goal was to make the Tianmo Sect stronger with each generation, so he established a rule that if the disciple defeats the master, he can become the leader of the Tianmo Sect.

However, this rule gradually changed without people noticing, and coupled with the fact that the Dayu Tianmo Sutra was so strange and mysterious, and it was easy to breed demonic nature, so that this seemingly good rule gradually evolved into what it is now.

The young Patriarch smiled and said, "If I were to become the leader of the Holy Sect, I would probably be like you, obsessed with the interests of the Holy Sect and not care about the people of the world. Not becoming the leader has actually helped me."

The leaders of all generations nodded in agreement.

"As for Master Qin..."

Si Yanwei turned to look at Qin Mu, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I won't bother with you about your illegitimate position as the leader. You have done a good job as the leader, but we can do a good job as well."

Qin Mu said modestly: "Of course. All of you former leaders are outstanding people. If you were in my position, you would definitely do better than me. It's just that you were in my position at that time and did nothing."

Many of the former leaders' faces were trembling, their expressions changing from gloomy to bright, and they tried hard to resist the urge to kill him.

This kid is fearless. After all, he is the Holy Leader and bears the heavy responsibility of inheriting the position of the Leader. The scriptures on the stone have to be passed down by him to the next Leader. If he is lost, the Demonic Sect will be doomed.

Qin Mu said sternly, "I was rude just now. I was just angry that the seniors used wrong and outdated rules to restrict the younger generation, so I offended them. I apologize to all the past leaders of the Holy Church."

The faces of all the past leaders relaxed. Leader Zuyang quickly helped him up and said with a smile, "Little Leader Qin has achieved something we have never achieved, which is something we admire very much. Among all the past leaders, even if you cannot be ranked in the top three, you can still be ranked in the top five. People say that everything is empty after death, so we don't care about such a small disagreement."

Sect Leader Hu Jun said with a smile: "In addition to admiring your accomplishments, we are more worried that after you return, you will not allow the sect members to burn paper money and offer sacrifices to us during festivals!"

"Yes, yes!"

Everyone laughed and said, "We don't want to become the poor people in the Human Emperor Palace who don't even have someone to burn paper!"

"The current emperor of the Human Emperor Palace is really a disgrace. He doesn't even burn incense or paper for offerings during festivals. Look, the emperor of the Human Emperor Palace was so glorious when he was alive, but now he is so poor. He is nothing like us, who are glorious when they are alive and glorious after they die!"

Everyone laughed, and the young master also laughed a few times. Suddenly he thought of Qin Mu and glanced at him quickly.

Qin Mu also laughed dryly. Fortunately, he was shameless now, otherwise his face would have turned red.

The successive leaders of the Demonic Cult did not know that his other identity was the contemporary Human Emperor. The reason why the successive Human Emperors of the Human Emperor Palace were so poor was also related to the fact that this Human Emperor did not burn paper or burn incense.

"After returning to Yankang, I must go to the Palace of Human Emperor and let the emperors of all generations live a prosperous life. They shouldn't live in poverty!" He made up his mind secretly.

"Master Qin."

The young ancestor said sternly: "You have come to see me, so what are you going to do after you return to the world of the living?"

Everyone stopped laughing and looked at him to see how he would respond.

Qin Mu pondered for a moment, then smiled and said, "After I return to Yankang State, I will first open up the road."

"Open the road first?"

The young ancestor frowned and said, "Road traffic is certainly convenient for the people, but it also costs a lot of money. Yankang State has experienced several wars and the treasury is empty. You are doing this for the people's livelihood. Why do you build roads first? Yankang State already has well-developed roads. Building roads now will waste people's money and labor."

Qin Mu said generously: "Because I have conquered the West!"

The young ancestor was shocked and said in a lost voice: "You led the army to conquer the Western Land? How many troops did you lead? The Western Land is so big, how did you conquer it?"

Other past leaders were also shocked and found it unbelievable.

"I alone, along with Long Qilin and Xiong Qier, conquered the Western Land."

Qin Mu smiled slightly and said, "The Western Land has now been incorporated into Yankang, but the Western Land is 100,000 miles away from the Central Land. As the saying goes, the distance is beyond reach and the emperor is far away. Now the roads between the Central Land and the Western Land are blocked. The Western Land can still be peaceful in the short term, but over time, the Western Land will definitely be in chaos. What I want to do is to open up traffic between the Western Land and the Central Land!"

The young ancestor and the past leaders could not believe his words, and they walked back and forth with their hands on their foreheads. Suddenly, a former leader stopped and said in a deep voice: "The Central Plains and the Western Plains are separated by the Great Ruins and the Flame Desert. The shortest distance is 100,000 miles! You want to open a road of 100,000 miles?"

Qin Mu said, "Not just one road. I have planned two roads. The two roads must be extremely flat so that a large army of carriages can pass through quickly. The fastest cavalry riding on exotic beasts can travel thousands of miles day and night!"

"wrong!"

The former leader said sternly, "Do you have so much money? Does the Yankang Kingdom have so much money? Paving the road means paving money, paving magical powers, and paving human lives! Although my Holy Church has the Tiangong Hall, if you let the Tiangong Hall pave the road, it will not only cost a lot of money, but also make countless Tiangong Hall disciples die of exhaustion!"

Qin Mu shook his head: "No. When I went to the West, I saw that the roads there are much more developed than those in Yankang. The magic power of the True Heaven Palace can be used to pave the road. I have good relations with the major families in the West. I can ask the master of the True Heaven Palace to lead the Western magicians to pave the road. A thousand miles of road can be paved in one day. A hundred thousand miles of road can be paved in a hundred days, and the cost is not too much."

The former leader's eyes lit up, he smiled, and took a step back. The other leaders of the past were still circling around Qin Mu. Suddenly, Si Yanwei stopped and said, "What should we do with the Flame Desert? The Flame Desert is tens of thousands of miles long and dry. If you build a road, it will be buried by dust and sand, and it will be completely useless! By then, the people on the road will be distressed and die on the road!"

Qin Mu said: "Now that Master Yankang has killed the Mother of True Heaven, the flames in the desert have been extinguished. We only need to use the Black Tortoise Pearl to divert water and irrigate the desert, and use the Azure Dragon Pearl to plant trees and vegetation. It is not difficult to turn the desert into a grassland forest. There are snow-capped mountains in the northern grasslands, and the snow-capped mountains have turned into rivers. I will divert water from the snow-capped mountains and create lakes in the desert to solve the water conservancy problem!"

Si Yanwei smiled and also walked out.

Another leader stopped and asked, "The nearest road is through Daxu. Daxu is peaceful during the day, but at night, monsters invade and darkness invades. How do you ensure transportation?"

"I can't guarantee that. But I can move the statues, gather them all, and use them to fight the darkness. There's a town a thousand miles away, and a city a ten thousand miles away. The town is between two roads, so we can have a place to stay. With these towns, goods will be transported between the West, Daxu, and the Middle Land, and trade will surely flourish."

"You haven't told me how to solve the money problem yet!"

"Once the road is opened, trade will flow and money will naturally be available!"

"The road in Daxu is not smooth. There are many strange and bizarre things. How can you make thousands of mountains and rivers become a smooth road?"

"When you see a mountain, you'll cut it; when you see a river, you'll build a bridge; when you see a god, you'll worship him!"

“How wide is the road?”

"It is thirty-six feet wide, with eight tracks for carriages and four paths for soldiers to walk on."

"The width of the chariot and horse tracks in Xitu is different from that in Yankang. How can we ensure smooth rail transportation?"

"Then ride on the same track!"

"The customs of the Western land are different from those of Yankang, what should we do?"

"Then we will follow the same ethics!"

"The writing is different, the magical powers are different, so what?"

"Then let's make the writing system uniform and start education!"

…

Suddenly, the twenty-eight former leaders laughed together, bowed to Qin Mu and said, "Master Qin can be called a saint! You are worthy of the name of Saint Master! We have tested you on behalf of Master Li, and you passed!"

Qin Mu returned the greeting with great sincerity: "Thank you all for your enlightening questions and for enlightening my wisdom. I have learned a lot! This time when I return to the world of the living, I will have a way to reform. If the reform is successful in the future and turns the natural barriers into roads, all the masters will have made great contributions!"

Everyone laughed and stood up.

The young ancestor was also very happy for them. Qin Mu originally had a very bad relationship with the successive leaders, but now all the previous grudges were swept away, and he was also very relieved.

Suddenly, the voice of the bird-headed god Chi Xiu came from outside the hall, shouting, "Master Qin, the King of Hell wants to interrogate you personally, why don't you come out?"

————La la la, I am a stay-at-home pig. Although there is a pig in my name, I am not lazy at all! I am a stay-at-home pig. I will update as usual on the first day of the Chinese New Year. I will feed myself a bag of salt!
