Tales of Herding Gods - 266. Chapter 257

Qin Mu walked all the way and looked around. He was full of devastation, hungry people, disasters, and plagues. Compared with the relatively stable territory of Da Leiyin Temple, this place is simply hell.
Fortunately, many university scholars and elementary school scholars practice medicine everywhere to suppress the epidemic, otherwise the disaster will be worse.
Yankang Guoshi built a large number of elementary schools to replace private schools, which came in handy at this time. Although the strength of each of these scholars is very weak, but together it is amazing, equivalent to a small school.
Qin Mu saw officers and soldiers taking advantage of the opportunity to clean up the monsters and ghosts everywhere. The county magistrate personally guarded the farmland and protected the seedlings, persuading the refugees to return to their hometowns, and the emperor’s relief food would soon be transported here.
He also saw that some Taoist disciples and Buddhist disciples were also doing disaster relief, but they were somewhat casual, and their ability was limited compared with the power of the country. And some took advantage of the national crisis to preach and gave birth to many cults, but they did not become a climate.
“This natural disaster cannot destroy such a country.” Qin Mu said in his heart.
New crops have been planted, and as long as the harvest season comes, the people can settle down. The time of this disaster in Yankang State was extremely strange, just after a great turmoil that swept the country, because of the perennial war, the consumption of food and grass was extremely high, and the snow disaster was enough to hurt one’s muscles and bones.
“I don’t know if the Yankang State Master is back to the dynasty, and whether the emperor is still doing disaster relief? And where did this natural disaster come from? This is not a disaster that can be created by holy places such as Daomen and Da Leiyin Temple, it can only be a god.”
He looked up at the sky, wondering in his heart, why?
Why did the sky send disasters to Yankang?
Is it for God’s Orthodoxy in the world?
Before Yankang, sects ruled the world, forming kingdoms large and small. Some sects have an ancient heritage, and there are legends that they are sects left by gods. So was it because God’s orthodoxy in the world was destroyed by Yankang State, and the gods were angry that brought down this natural disaster?
Or are there other deeper reasons?
Qin Mu found the disciples of the Celestial Demon Sect and asked about it. The Celestial Demon Sect is following the government’s disaster relief. Almost all the disciples of the Sect are dispatched from all over the country. The hall masters have also donated money from each church, and they are already poor. . It’s just that some merchants stock up on odds, and some families do not sell their grains.
“The emperor was furious and killed a batch. He also found out that many officials were corrupting the law and greedy the money for disaster relief. They killed a batch, and some even killed a batch while selling officials.”
A disciple of the Heavenly Demon Cult followed the emperor’s disaster relief and met a lot of people around the world, and said with joy: “The emperor has been assassinated many times. Most of them are leader-level existences. Fortunately, the Chinese military ministers accompanied him, and the emperor personally fought, and he was tyrannical. Extremely. It is a pity that the leader did not go.”
Qin Mu asked: “Which strong men have assassinated the emperor?”
“I heard that it was the poor master, Tian Zhenjun, and some powerful people outside the Great Wall.”
Qin Mu’s face changed slightly, and he said, “Are you teaming up with the leader-level powerhouse outside the Great Wall? Has the Yankang State Master returned?”
“Never saw it.”
Qin Mu pondered for a moment, and said, “Where is the emperor?”
“It’s just five thousand miles away in Bazhou Mansion.”
That day a disciple of the Demon Cult said, “The emperor went to the south first, and eliminated the families in the south who refused to sell grain. Then he went to the north. Now he has just arrived in Bazhou. Bazhou is fairly stable.”
Qin Mu settled down, and asked, “Where is the capital? How many first-tier seniors are left?”
“Leave the prince to supervise the country, as well as officials from the prince’s line.”
Qin Mu’s face was solemn, and there was a prince in charge of the country, but the prince ran to Da Leiyin Temple. The poor master Tian Zhenjun and others had almost died in the hands of the Yankang State Master. Matter, but now the poor master and others ran out.
Coupled with the fact that the prince went to see the old Tathagata, the matter here is big.
“It is said that the imperial court is the biggest holy place in the world. I don’t know if it really collides with the Great Leiyin Temple, who can be better?”
Qin Mu pondered for a moment, and said, “Can I get in touch with the hall masters?”
“Now that all the churches are in various places for disaster relief, it is difficult to contact them. If you want to gather together, I am afraid it will take a month or two.”
Qin Mu waved his hand and left, sitting on Long Qilin’s back and rushed to Bazhou.
Bazhou is still five thousand miles away from here, and the journey is quite long. With the strength of the dragon’s feet, it will take the next day to reach Bazhou without rest. In addition to taking a rest during the journey, it is estimated that it will not be possible to reach Bazhou until the next night.
“If my treasure ship was still there, it would be much easier to handle. Unfortunately, it was destroyed.”
Qin Mu ordered Long Qilin to rush to the road with all his strength, and promised him a daily meal. Long Qilin lifted his spirits and ran towards Bazhou with his feet on the fire cloud.
Unknowingly at night, Qin Mu raised his head to watch the star signs, recognized the direction, and ordered Long Qilin to continue on his way. When the sun rose, Long Qilin couldn’t bear it, foaming at his mouth, unable to run, and his pace was getting slower and slower.
Qin Mu asked him to stop, look around, identify the location, and take out the geographic map of Yankang to check it carefully. Only less than a thousand miles away from Bazhou.
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, fed Long Qilin, and walked forward unhurriedly, letting Long Qilin rest.
Before I walked far, I saw a house appearing in this remote mountain. It should be a newly built house. Everything is new. Qin Mu walked over and was about to knock on the door. The door opened, and a woman walked out to meet him. Both of them were startled.
“Muer?”
The woman had an unparalleled face, she suddenly stunned when she saw him, looked around, and wondered: “How did you find this place? I finally got rid of the blind man and Ma Ye, and you found it. ”
Qin Mu was surprised and delighted: “Mother-in-law, why are you here?” He immediately became alert: “Are you mother-in-law or Li Tianxing?”
Granny Si turned sideways to let him enter the house, and said: “The old demon was temporarily suppressed by me. Although the old Tathagata failed to get rid of him, it also hurt his vitality. I am now evenly matched with him, so I made an agreement with him. . He comes out at night and I come out during the day.”
Qin Mu suspiciously said: “If you are really a mother-in-law, why do you deliberately avoid Ma Ye and Blind Grandpa? Why hide here?”
The grandmother gave him a blank look: “Smelly boy, even the mother-in-law dares to doubt? If I am an old demon, if I want to harm you, I need to lie to you?”
Qin Mu thought in his heart, this is indeed the truth, he is indeed pitifully weak compared to the grandmother, if she is Li Tianxing, she doesn’t need to bother much before she walks into the yard.
If it is Li Tianxing, with that charming energy, one look can make oneself fascinated, and he is even more feminine than a woman.
This house was very simple. After all, it had just been built and there were not a few pieces of furniture. Qin Mu looked around and saw that the tables and chairs were crooked, and he was relieved.
Granny Si does not have the dexterous handwork of Ma Ye, and can make clothes, but the carpentry is poor. These tables and chairs are definitely made by Granny Ma.
Qin Mu sat on a chair to rest. The chair was very awkward, high on one side and low on the other. He felt more relieved. It was indeed a chair made by Granny Sis. He curiously asked, “Why didn’t my grandmother go back to Daxu?”
Granny Si shook her head and walked out of the yard. After a while, a few pieces of firewood drifted into the yard. She planned to make a bed.
Qin Mu couldn’t take a break, and hurriedly stepped forward to help. Granny Si is a saint in teaching. Even though she has lived in the disabled village for 40 years, she hasn’t learned Ma Ye’s craftsmanship, but Qin Mu is proficient in making all kinds of furniture.
Granny Si couldn’t get her hands in, she went to the river to get some water, came back to polish the bronze mirror, and said: “I can’t go back now, what can I do when I go back? There is darkness in the big market at night, and the old demon ran out to toss. How many old bones can the village chief and the others be able to withstand for a few days? Why not stay here for a while and sharpen the old devil’s mind.”
Qin Mu quickly made a big bed and moved into the room. Seeing that she had polished the mirror into pits and pits, he couldn’t laugh or cry. He quickly took over and turned his vitality into a white tiger vitality. Then he calculated it and polished it carefully. Polished the bronze mirror flat, and then went to make a dressing table.
Sister-in-law saw Long Qilin lying on the ground and fell asleep, and then saw Qin Mu’s bloodshot eyes, exhausted, and said, “Did you drive all night? Go and sleep for a while.”
“You won’t go?”
“Don’t go.”
Qin Mu settled down and slept on the bed. There was no bedding, but he was also used to eating and sleeping, and soon fell asleep.
After an unknown period of time, Qin Muxian woke up and saw the grandmother in a daze looking at the bronze mirror on the dressing table, with scissors in her hand and the scissors facing her face.
“Mother-in-law!” Qin Mu said hurriedly.
Granny Si turned her head, put the scissors down, smiled, and whispered: “For example, there is only one way to get rid of the demons, so that he will no longer be attached to this face. Muer, I don’t want to hurt you, let alone hurt you. …”
Qin Mu saw her lift up the scissors again, tears rolled out: “Mother-in-law, don’t blame you… I never blame you…”
“I can’t do it!”
The mother-in-law slumped, put down the scissors, and said with a smile: “Muer, you come and help me.”
Qin Mu got up from the bed, took the scissors from her hand, and gently placed it in her small basket.
“Don’t blame you, no one can blame you, you have been hiding for more than 40 years, and for more than 40 years you haven’t seen people in your true colors.”
He squatted down and looked up at the face that was too beautiful to find the second face, which was the true face of the person who raised him. Qin Mu smiled: “It’s nothing more than just a day or two for me, for more than forty years, I can’t hold on. It’s not your fault what you look like. Which beautiful woman is willing to cover her face forever , To meet people with an old face?”
He stood up and said: “Mother-in-law, Li Tianxing, I will take him out. You stay here, I go to Bazhou, there may be something wrong there.”
The grandmother nodded gently.
Qin Mu walked out of the room, turned around and smiled: “Mother-in-law, you should eat and drink, and don’t abuse yourself.”
“Smelly boy, come to teach me again!” Si Granny said angrily.
Qin Mu laughed, kicked Long Qilin up, and shouted, “Still sleeping? Get up and go!”
