The Plague God Is Coming (Third Update!)
Chapter 926 The Plague God is Coming (Third Update!)
New palace maids replaced the old ones in Yao Chi. These new palace maids were more attentive and even better at serving people than Yan'er. They were smiling, delicate, and hardworking, and could meet any request.
Qin Mu knew that these palace maids were so cautious because they saw the death of the previous palace maids and were worried about their own lives. However, he was currently powerless to change the Heavenly Court.
After the thrilling incident last night, the Heavenly Palace was still peaceful and quiet. Although the incident caused a huge commotion, no one in Heavenly Palace talked about it, as if nothing had happened.
The Yao Chi incident caused too much noise, and it was impossible to cover it up completely. The reason people didn't talk about it was that they didn't dare to talk about it.
However, those with discerning eyes in Heaven can still see the situation there.
The Heavenly Palace seems to be unbreakable, but the incident in the Yaochi last night showed that this behemoth has actually been riddled with holes and is in danger of splitting at any time.
The arrival of Mu Tianzun only accelerated the process of division, making the originally hidden contradictions more acute and irreconcilable.
Most of the attention was still focused on the Yao Chi incident. This was the first major event caused by Mu Tianzun after he came to the Heavenly Court. However, the first thing he did was to split the Heavenly Court!
The Yao Chi incident last night was the first outbreak of undercurrents in Heaven.
If there is a first time, there will be a second time, and a third time. The conflicts within the Heavenly Court will become more and more acute until they are out of control!
Yao Chi fell silent until two days later, when the Yun family's great-grandmother led the widows of the Yun family to Yao Chi, saying that they were there to visit Yun Jianli.
This great-grandmother was the beloved wife of Yun Tianzun, and also the empress of Xiaohan Tianting in the Longhan era. Later, Xiaohan Tianting was defeated in the war, and many of its members died, surrendered, or fled. Only this great-grandmother from Yun Tianzun's lineage escaped, and she was pregnant with a son at the time.
Because of Yun Tianzun's identity, the Longhan Heavenly Court did not make things difficult for her. The Emperor of Heaven brought her and her son to the Heavenly Court, established the Yun Mansion, and named this great grandmother Madam Yunxiao.
However, the Yun family's blood curse appeared, and generation after generation of the Yun family's eldest sons died suddenly after adulthood, leaving behind a family full of widows.
Although many widows remarried, many still stayed, so that most of the women in the Yun Mansion were strong-willed and especially protective of their own people. No one dared to provoke the men of the Yun family easily.
Madam Yunxiao and others were accompanied by the historian of Heaven, who recorded the meeting. Lord Mu Tianzun personally met with Madam Yunxiao, and the two sides held a cordial meeting in the Manhuilang Pavilion, conducted friendly exchanges, and exchanged their views on the current prosperity of Heaven.
However, in reality, it was Madam Yunxiao who was in a rage and led a crowd to call for punishment. She wanted to capture Yun Jianli and put him in solitary confinement right away. She also blamed Mu Tianzun for putting Yun Jianli in danger. Even Yun Jianli's wife attacked Qin Mu, intending to beat Mu Tianzun up as a warning to others.
This is what the historians call a cordial conversation and a friendly exchange.
The historian was troubled by the noise of these women, and was invited by Qi Jiuyi to drink, so he actually didn't record much.
After these tough women heard that Qin Mu had completely lifted the Yun family's ancestral blood curse, their anger turned into joy and they apologized to Qin Mu again and again.
As for the exchange of views between the two sides on the prosperity of the Heavenly Court, Qin Mu asked Madam Yunxiao about the major forces in the Heavenly Court. The widows, old and young, of the Yun family talked at once, revealing all the big and small matters in the palaces and halls of the Heavenly Court, even the trivial matters.
The historian in heaven was drunk by Qi Jiuyi and Long Qilin, so he had to record it in the style of the Spring and Autumn Period.
Madam Yunxiao led the grandmothers and great-grandmothers of the Yun family back to the Yun family and brought Yun Jianli's son over. Qin Mu removed the blood curse from the little guy, and the whole Yun family was filled with joy.
But this time, the Creator hidden in the heaven did not appear.
"Mr. Mu Tianzun, my husband has always wanted to see you again."
Madam Yunxiao looked very young, but she pretended to be old. She wore a golden phoenix-tail crown on her head, leaned on a dragon-headed cane, and dyed her hair white to look as old as possible. Madam Yunxiao winked at the women, and the widows of the Yun family understood and surrounded the historian.
The historian wanted to step forward and listen to what Madam Yunxiao and Qin Mu were talking about, but he was trapped by these widows of the Yun Mansion and could not escape, and he was secretly anxious.
Madam Yunxiao talked with Qin Mu as they walked, and said, "My husband has been waiting for Mu Tianzun to appear again all his life. He often said that he would establish a rule for the Heavenly Alliance, that is, not to be too good to bad people, and not to be too bad to good people. He should be better to good people and worse to bad people. However, he said that he could not do this. Before he died, he realized that the Heavenly Alliance had become too good to bad people and too bad to good people."
Qin Mu looked down at the road, then raised his head again: "Although this sentence is simple, it is difficult to do. People are always too harsh on good people and too tolerant of bad people."
"He actually left something for me to pass on to you."
Madam Yunxiao said, "But I was pregnant at the time, and I had gone through so much trouble to escape from the Heavenly Palace. I couldn't protect myself, and even if I could survive, I couldn't keep the things. So I gave those things to Daozu, who is my husband's best friend, and it's safest to leave them with him."
"Daozu?"
Qin Mu stopped and asked in confusion: "My sister-in-law gave that thing to Daozu? Then, what did Yun Tianzun leave behind?"
Madam Yunxiao said, "It is a box. I don't know what is inside. I haven't opened it to see."
Qin Mu nodded gently and said, "Yun Tianzun is very wise and I am far inferior to him. The things he left behind must have deep meaning. It's a pity that when I went to Longhan Heavenly Palace, I came and went in a hurry and didn't have a detailed talk with him. Who would have thought that once I left, it would be a farewell forever."
Madam Yunxiao said, "Jianli just said that he plans to go to the lower world, but I don't agree. It's too dangerous to go to the lower world, it's really ridiculous! He finally got rid of the blood curse, and now he wants to go to the lower world to die, isn't it going to cut off the bloodline of my Yun family? Mu Tianzun, you have a good relationship with him, please help me persuade him."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "Sister-in-law, do you think the Heaven is safer or the Underworld is safer?"
"Naturally it's the sky..."
Madam Yunxiao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized something and said with a smile, "Being with the emperor is like being with a tiger, not to mention there are ten Heavenly Lords in Heaven? The danger is ten times greater. But the lower world is also full of dangers and has no future. If Heaven wants to bring disaster again, he will only be implicated if he goes to the lower world."
Qin Mu glanced at her and said, "Wouldn't it be safe if we overthrow this heavenly court? Young birds always have to fly away from home, and in my opinion, Yun Jianli is not a young bird, and he has great ambitions. He is also very tactful when dealing with the emperor and the empress, and he has shown great skills. In my opinion, my sister-in-law, you don't have to restrict him."
"Do you know that Yun Chuxiu is the Empress?"
Madam Yunxiao's scalp tingled, and she suddenly bowed down and sighed, "I really don't want Yun Jianli to follow the old path of his ancestors. The Yun family finally has a child who can live a long life. However, Tianzun is the benefactor of the Yun family, so I will entrust Jianli's life to you!"
Qin Mu hurriedly returned the greeting: "Sister-in-law, please stop doing this. You are embarrassing me!"
The two stood up, and Qin Mu said with a smile: "Yun Jianli is a great man of the time. He will soar to the sky after he descends to the mortal world. His achievements will far exceed Madam's imagination. Madam, there is no need to worry about him."
Madam Yunxiao said, "I hope he can revive the Yun family and restore the great cause of our ancestors, but I don't want him to die. Lord Mu Tianzun, you men always have all kinds of ideals and ambitions. I really don't understand them. I can only support you silently behind the scenes. Goodbye."
Qin Mu saw him off.
The girls of the Yun family left, but Yun Jianli and Yun Chuxiu remained in Yaochi.
Qin Mu fell into deep thought: "Yun Tianzun left me a box? The box is with Daozu? Is Daozu still the sloppy Taoist at the Yaochi Festival? Is he still Yun Tianzun's Taoist friend? Has he lost himself in the power and luxury of this heaven?"
He thought for a long time and finally made up his mind.
He had to meet this sloppy old Taoist priest no matter what!
“If we just go directly to the Heavenly Palace Taoist Gate to meet the Taoist Ancestor, it will be too easy to leave traces and cause trouble for the Taoist Ancestor.” Qin Mu pondered for a moment and made up his mind.
"After the Yaochi incident, you actually dared to go out, aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?"
Qi Jiuyi was very unhappy and angrily scolded Qin Mu, shouting, "If you want to go out, go out by yourself. My second brother, Sister Yan'er and I will stay here to watch you go to die alone!"
Long Qilin walked behind Qin Mu, and Yan'er turned into a little fat bird and stood on Long Qilin's forehead, turning back to look at Qi Jiuyi.
Qi Jiuyi was furious. He walked over angrily with a gloomy face and said nothing.
Yun Jianli looked at him curiously, thinking, "Isn't Qi Jiuyi a follower of the Heavenly Lord? How dare he speak to the Heavenly Lord like this?"
He didn't know that Qi Jiuyi and Qin Mu had always had a bad relationship, and not fighting was already a great favor to his second brother Long Qilin.
Yun Chuxiu said softly, "Brother Jiu, it's a good thing to go out for a walk. Although the scenery of Yaochi is beautiful, you will get tired of it if you see it too much. Brother Jiu, accompany me for a walk."
Qi Jiuyi's bones softened when she called him "Ninth Brother", and his soul flew up. He felt sweet in his heart: "This witch is really powerful. My Dao Heart... I don't care what Dao Heart he has!"
Yun Jianli followed them and asked, "Where is Tianzun going?"
Qin Mu's eyes flickered, and he smiled and said, "During the Yao Chi incident, so many powerful people came to visit me. If I don't return the visit, won't I be accused of being impolite?"
Yun Jianli was shocked, and Qi Jiuyi and Yan'er were also horrified. Qin Mu actually planned to visit those who came to assassinate him. He was so bold!
Only Yun Chuxiu was afraid that the world would not be in chaos, and cheered continuously.
"Among the strong men who attacked Yao Chi that night, which one was closest to Yao Chi?" Qin Mu asked.
Yun Jianli and Qi Jiuyi looked at each other without saying anything. Yun Chuxiu said quickly, "I know, I know! The closest place to Yaochi is the Langxuan Palace of Langtianzun Langxuan Divine Emperor! Langxuan Divine Emperor has many disciples all over the world, and the Langxuan Palace is also a major place in the Heavenly Court. It is very spectacular!"
Qi Jiuyi's expression changed drastically, and he said quickly: "We can't go to Langxuan Palace..."
"Nineth brother..." Yun Chuxiu blinked her dark eyes and looked at him, her beautiful eyes full of tears.
Qi Jiuyi was confused, and said without anyone noticing: "Then let's go to Langxuan Temple."
After leaving Yaochi, they soon arrived at Tianjie. The street market in Heaven was extremely lively and was part of Tianshi. Although Heaven was high above, the gods and humans could not be self-sufficient and needed to support a large family, so the market was very important.
Many of those who come and go in Tianjie are demigods, of various races, and some are humans, but their number is not as large as that of demigods.
This place is very spacious, with a lot of traffic and business is booming. However, when Qin Mu and others came here, the hustle and bustle of people coming and going seemed to have stopped in time, and they all stopped and turned to look.
The next moment, all kinds of noisy sounds were heard, wheels rolled, horses neighed, and divine lights flew in all directions. Tianjie was suddenly empty, and there was no one on the entire street!
Qin Mu glanced at both sides of Tian Street in surprise. All the shops in the heavenly realm were closed with their doors tightly shut.
There was a short and mighty man who was a step too slow and was locked outside the store. He was banging on the door desperately and crying loudly.
Qin Mu walked forward and said with concern: "Brother..."
"Save me—"
When the short god saw him approaching, he couldn't help but cry loudly, and kicked his legs against the store door repeatedly, trying to hide in the store: "I don't want to die here!"
Qin Mu was even more surprised. Suddenly, a door of the palace opened and the short god fell into the store. The door was immediately closed again and the doors and windows were locked.
"Thank you for the rescue!"
The voice of the short god came from inside the door: "Your life-saving grace is like reborn as a parent, I will never forget it!"
Someone in the store scolded, "You are such a bold god. You saw the Plague God coming and didn't run away. You just cried outside and almost got us into trouble!"
The short god said, "I was so frightened that my legs became weak and I couldn't run..."
"Hush, be quiet! If someone were to assassinate this Plague God, everyone on the street would be silenced!"
