Qin Mu walked out of Lanque Terrace, looking back, Wei Yong was standing on the balcony in a daze, looking at the iron piece.
The butcher strode forward, walked side by side with him, and praised: "Your Taoist cultivation is too high, and your sword skills are so good that even a piece of iron can be used by you as a magic weapon. "
Qin Mu was taken aback, then shook his head again.
This is not something worthy of praise. Compared with these ordinary supernatural beings, he surpasses them too much in terms of vision, knowledge, Dao heart, and background. Even if he is given a small wooden stick, he can break the magic weapon .
The butcher laughed and said, "You have enlightened this time, and you have comprehended the sword of law. It is clear that you are undermining my prestige, saying that I am showing off the bravery of a common man. But I walk with a knife, and I am happy in the world. I am not bound by your rules and regulations. Your law The knife is no better than my way of the knife."
Qin Mu was silent, and after a while, he said, "Grandpa Tu should have known Wei Qinghe a long time ago, why didn't he get rid of him with the sword of a man, instead he kept him waiting for me to get rid of him personally?"
"When I do it, I always show my courage. If you do it, it represents the direction of Yankang."
The butcher smiled freely, and said: "You have been in Tianting these years, and I have been in Yankang. I have seen too many similar things, and I have killed a lot with the courage of ordinary people, but what can I do? A common man's knife can't solve these things .Yankang is so big that it is impossible to investigate the right and wrong of the entire Yankang with the power of a man. It needs to be established by Mu Tianzun. I have been waiting for you to come back."
"In this world, there are always some places that Yankang's sword of law can't reach, maybe it still needs five steps of the blood of the man's wrath."
Qin Mu thought for a while, and said: "The imperial court needs to shine a light on the sword of law and order to rectify the administration of officials, but no matter how to rectify, there are some people who are similar to Wei Qinghe. Grandpa Tu, you are right, I am too close to the sky and too far from the ground." Far, it’s time for self-examination. My whole body’s abilities originally originated from the secular world. After I arrived in the heavenly court, I started to study the innate way, trying to catch up with the ten heavenly gods in a short time, so that Yankang would have a breathing space to develop. These Years ago, I have already forgotten where my abilities come from."
The way of a sage lies in the daily use of the people. He always thought he was still on this road, but when he looked back, he found that he had deviated, and it was not too late to come back now.
"If you don't change your original intention, you are still a good boy."
The butcher patted him on the shoulder and led him to the blacksmith's shop in Xincheng. This is a place for making agricultural tools, not spiritual soldiers. Hoes, iron plows, kitchen knives and other things are hung in the blacksmith's shop.
"Hit a good knife."
The butcher sat down and said to the blacksmith, "I want an iron knife. Two catties of iron are for this kid."
He pointed to Qin Mu, Qin Mu was also sitting on the long bench, the blacksmith brought rough tea, and said, "There is no iron, but there is rough iron."
"It's better without iron. This kid can chop up a magic weapon with a piece of iron. Take two catties of rough iron, don't need a tael more, lest he cut people too easily, let this kid do it himself."
The butcher drank tea, but the crude tea was bland, but he drank it with great relish, and said, "Blow the bellows for him, and help him."
The blacksmith looked at Qin Mu suspiciously, saw that he was dressed in extraordinary clothes, and said with a smile: "This is your son, how can he do such simple work?"
Qin Mu drank tea and said with a smile, "I was also a blacksmith back then. Why do you still have these agricultural tools in your shop? Isn't there daily spiritual weapons?"
"Eat abalone mountain delicacies all the year round, and also eat some rough tea and light rice."
The blacksmith smiled and said: "Besides, the common people are not very rich. In recent years, the price of grain has been too low. Asking supernatural powers to help harvest or hiring daily spiritual soldiers to harvest is too high. No one can afford it. These years , Those supernatural beings have money, how can ordinary people have any money? Using these farm tools to do work can also save some expenses."
Qin Mu drank tea silently, and he didn't finish a bowl of tea for a long time.
Suddenly, he raised his head and gulped it down, put down the large bowl, stood up and said, "Come on, you pull the bellows, and I'll strike the iron."
The blacksmith selected a few pieces of rough iron and worked for him.
Qin Mu practiced with a hammer, the blacksmith looked at his technique, and couldn't help but praise: "You are really a good blacksmith, if you open a shop, the old man's business will be ruined by you!"
Qin Mu forged a rough iron knife, and the two catties of rough iron was tempered by him like black iron, glowing with cold light, and the cold air was oppressive.
The butcher accepted the money and said, "There's no need to look for it. Mu'er, let's go. We've found our original intention. It's time for you to train your knife."
Qin Mu didn't follow him, and said, "I still have some things to deal with urgently."
The butcher's heart moved slightly, he stopped, and looked up to the sky.
The blacksmith saw that the two of them were generous, and was delighted in his heart. He suddenly raised his head, and suddenly saw stars appearing in the sky.
It is blue sky and white sun now, and there are stars, and these stars are dazzling, it is really strange!
Those starlights are moving, and one of the big stars is surrounded by hundreds of small stars. As the starlight gets closer, those stars become more and more clearly visible.
swish—
Stars of light descended from the sky and landed in this Jiangling new city. They were obviously the civil servants of the Yankang court, the officials in charge of official administration.
"Officials from the Ministry of Officials, see the National Teacher!" The hundred officials embraced the Minister of the Ministry of Officials, bowed in unison, and said in unison.
"You don't have to be polite."
Qin Mu raised his hand, unsealed the seal of his cultivation, and said to the dumbfounded blacksmith, "If you borrow your shop, you will be rewarded."
The blacksmith hurriedly pushed it to the inner room, Qin Mu brought the divine metal from the ancestral courtyard, and smelted and forged it in public. The Minister of the Ministry of Officials and the gods of the Ministry of Officials looked up, but saw the words of the law floating in the air, from the This small blacksmith's shop filled the air, spreading across the entire Jiangling New City. The text of the law was accompanied by the sound of the Great Dao, constantly roaring and vibrating, as if an impartial judge was reciting the Iron Law of Yankang!
In Jiangling New City, countless people walked to the streets one after another, listening to the voices of the law reading, unconsciously fascinated.
Wei Yong and those gods and men from Jiangling never left either, staring at the legal texts falling from the sky, dazed.
Accompanied by Qin Mu's forging and beating, amidst the sound of recitation, the words of the law were smashed and forged into a mouthful of the magic knife by him, turning into iron laws and the power of the magic knife.
After a long time, Qin Mu dismissed the divine fire, threw away the hammer, and held a sword of law in his hand. His voice resounded throughout the city, and he said in a deep voice, "All officials of the Ministry of Officials, step forward and receive the sword."
All the officials of the Ministry of Officials stepped forward, and the Minister of the Ministry of Officials bowed and raised his hands high.
"Yankang's law, is it the rule of man or the rule of law? Is it the rule of law or the rule of law? Is the old law of Yankang still in line with today's era?"
"Yankang's Taoism and supernatural powers need to be changed, but should Yankang's laws be changed?"
"Has the good law of the past become an evil law now? How to punish the evil, how to promote the good, and how to achieve justice?"
"It is impossible to completely abandon the rule of man, how to strike a balance between the rule of man and the rule of law?"
"Is the lawer self-disciplined or heteronomous or the law?"
"My lord!"
"The law is related to the will of the people!"
"The hearts of the people are the sword, the strongest magic sword. It can kill one or two corrupt officials, and it can also destroy a powerful country. You gentlemen, care about the hearts of the people for me."
"Today, I entrust you with the sword on behalf of the imperial court, and I entrust you with the reform of the law!"
Qin Mu bowed and presented the saber of law, the Minister of the Ministry of Officials stepped forward, holding the divine saber in both hands, bowed his head and stepped back, lined up with the officials, and said in a deep voice: "Where the law is, the Ministry of Officials will go through fire and water, and live up to the hearts of the people of the world! "
…
Qin Mu followed the butcher to leave Jiangling New City, and followed suit. The award of the sword in the new city will cause a lot of shock in Yankang. The reform of the law will inevitably be promoted, and it may return Yankang to a clear political situation.
"Grandpa Tu, where are we going for the next level?"
"This mortal world is a great holy place, and it is also a great purgatory. All living beings are transcended in this holy place, and they are also sunk in this purgatory. There are too many injustices in the world, too many fights, open and secret fights, intrigues, countless. Refined in the world of mortals, but also refined in the battlefield."
The butcher said: "I will take you to the battlefield. Although you are my apprentice, you have never been on the battlefield. You have also experienced the war of the Taihuangtian. Back then..."
He was in a daze, then shook his head again: "It's fine not to say anything."
Qin Mu asked curiously: "Since Grandpa Tu said something, why didn't he continue?"
The butcher hesitated, seeing that he was not as dignified as before, he bestowed the sword of law to the officials, and Qin Mu's moral heart was strengthened again, even better than before.
The butcher was also happy for him, so he didn't hide it from him, saying: "I was considered a gifted scholar back then. Although I was born tall and burly, I was well-known for reading poems, articles, poems and songs. At that time, I was a man of letters. , intoxicated with paper and gold, lingering among the flower streets and willow alleys. Until the enemy invaded, the country was destroyed and the family was destroyed. I saw the tragedy at that time, so I threw away my pen and ink and drew my sword to join the army. Hundreds of Jiangnan talents who went with me returned. of… "
He said shyly, "Only me."
Qin Mu patted his shoulder.
The butcher let out a foul breath and said, "The knives on the battlefield are different from the knives you used to come into contact with in normal times. The knives on the battlefield are not only the knives of killing, but also the knives of redemption."
Qin Mu was slightly taken aback, and asked for advice.
The butcher said: "The knife kills the enemy, and saves the country behind it, and the people living in the country. The knife of an ordinary man, blood splatters five steps, happy to enmity. The knife on the battlefield, galloping thousands of miles, with blood on both hands, countless living people!" Follow me to the battlefield, to meet my comrade Tongze!"
Qin Mu was shocked and followed him.
They tossed around for dozens of days and came to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang. After the Ten Heavenly Lords separated the Yuan Realm, the pressure on Yankang increased greatly. The first wave of forces to attack Yankang was under the command of Nantu's Huo Tianzun, a mix of human races and demigods. , Attack Yankang, siege the city and plunder the land.
These gods and demons and supernatural beings come from Nantian, they are the human race and demigods of Nantian.
Butcher and Qin Mu signed up to join the army under their respective aliases.
"The army on the opposite side is also human." A soldier looked at the army on the opposite side and tremblingly said.
"Don't think so."
An old soldier comforted him and said: "Think about behind you, behind you is Yankang! It is the people of Yankang! If you treat the enemy on the opposite side as a human being, you will die, and you have to protect people!"
"Whoa, whoa..."
Someone was panting heavily, his legs were dangling, his face was blue with tension, and he was a little out of breath: "This is my first time on the battlefield. I used to practice with other scholars in college. Haven’t really been in battle…”
"Just follow me later."
A veteran with a scar on his face smiled and said, "Do you still remember what the teacher taught you in class? When you see someone waving the flag in the sky, stand up; Stop when you hear Mingduo, and retreat when you hear drums and cymbals. Besides, there will be people who are proficient in spiritual consciousness to convey to our minds with spiritual consciousness, and there will be no mistakes."
The veteran with the scar looked at Qin Mu again, handed him a hookah, and said with a smile, "See if you're not nervous. Could it be that you're a veteran? Smoke this, it tastes good."
Qin Mu took the hookah, snorted, and said, "I once went to the battlefield of Taihuangtian, and fought for a while."
"The Great Emperor's Heaven Battlefield? That happened more than twenty years ago."
The veteran with the scarred face shook his spirits, waved his hands and said, "Come to this brother later, let's all come here!"
Several other supernatural powers gathered, and the scar-faced veteran laughed and said: "Here is a veteran who has been to Taihuangtian! We will fight later, and we will charge forward together. Follow him, and the chance of survival will be better! Come on!" Come on, everyone remember each other's faces, we must get familiar with each other."
