Qin Mu walked all the way, looking around, there was devastation everywhere, hungry people were fleeing, disasters were everywhere, and plagues were rampant. Compared with the relatively stable territory of Daleiyin Temple, this place is simply hell.
Fortunately, there are many university scholars and elementary school scholars practicing medicine everywhere to suppress the epidemic, otherwise the disaster will be even worse.
Yankang Guoshi built a large number of primary schools and universities to replace private schools, which came in handy at this time. Although each of these scholars is very weak, but together they are astonishing, equivalent to small sects.
Qin Mu saw officers and soldiers chasing down the demons and ghosts who took the opportunity to cause chaos. The county magistrate personally guarded the farmland to protect the seedlings, and persuaded the refugees to return to their hometowns. The emperor's disaster relief food would be transported here soon.
He also saw that some Taoist disciples and Buddhist disciples were also helping disasters, but they were a little casual, and their ability was limited compared with the power of the country, so they could save wherever they went. Moreover, some took advantage of the national calamity to preach, and many cults were born, but none of them became successful.
"This natural disaster cannot destroy such a country." Qin Mu thought in his heart.
New crops have been planted, and as long as the harvest season comes, the people can settle down. The timing of this disaster in Yankang Kingdom was extremely strange. It was just after a great turmoil that swept across the country. Because of the perennial wars, the consumption of food and grass was huge, and this snowstorm was enough to hurt the bones.
"I don't know if Yankang Guoshi has returned to the court, and is the emperor still providing disaster relief? And where did this natural disaster come from? This is not a disaster that can be caused by holy places like Daomen and Daleiyin Temple, it can only be God."
He looked up at the sky, wondering, why
Why did the heavens send disasters to Yankang
For the orthodoxy of God in the world
Before Yankang, sects ruled the world one by one, forming large and small countries. Some sects have ancient inheritance, and there are legends that they are sects left by gods. So is it because the orthodoxy of the gods in the world was wiped out by the Yankang Kingdom, and the gods were angry, and this natural disaster was brought down
Or are there other deeper reasons for this
Qin Mu found the disciples of the Tianmo Sect, and asked about it. The Tianmo Sect followed the government to provide disaster relief. Almost all the disciples in the sect were dispatched to all parts of the country. The head of each hall also donated the money of each hall, and they were already poor. . It's just that some merchants are hoarding goods, and some aristocratic families are hoarding food and not selling it.
"The emperor was furious, and killed a group of officials. He also found out that many officials were corrupt and broke the law. They were greedy for money for disaster relief. Some of them were killed, and some of them took advantage of selling officials and nobles, and killed a group."
A disciple of the Tianmo Sect followed the emperor in disaster relief, saw a lot of things in the world, and said happily: "The emperor has been assassinated many times, most of them are the existence of the leader. Fortunately, the Minister of Chinese and Military Affairs of the court accompanied him, and the emperor also fought in person. Extremely. It is a pity that the leader did not go."
Qin Mu asked: "Who are the strong ones who assassinate the emperor?"
"I heard that they are poor masters, Tian Zhenjun and others, and some strong people outside the Great Wall."
Qin Mu's face changed slightly, and he said, "Have you teamed up with the leader-level powerhouse outside the Great Wall? Has the Yankang National Master come back?"
"Never seen."
Qin Mu pondered for a moment, then asked, "Where is the emperor?"
"It's just five thousand miles away in Bazhou Prefecture."
That day, the Demon Sect disciple said: "The emperor first went to the south, and wiped out those aristocratic families in the south who refused to release and sell grain. Then he went to the north. Now he has just arrived in Bazhou. Bazhou is still relatively stable."
Qin Mu collected himself and asked, "What about the capital? How many first-rank officials are left?"
"Leave the prince to supervise the country, and the officials of the prince's line."
Qin Mu's face was serious, there was a prince in the capital to supervise the country, but the prince ran to Daleiyin Temple, the poor man Tian Zhenjun and others were almost killed in the hands of Yankang Guoshi, but they were rescued by the old Tathagata, who said that they had entered the Buddhist sect and would no longer care about the world. things, but now the poor master and others ran out.
Coupled with the fact that the prince went to see the old Tathagata, things got bigger.
"It is said that the imperial court is the biggest holy place in the world. I don't know if it really collides with Daleiyin Temple, who will win?"
Qin Mu pondered for a moment, and said, "Can you contact the hall masters?"
"Currently all the churches are doing disaster relief in various places, and it is difficult to contact them. It may take a month or two to get all the churches together."
Qin Mu waved his hand and left, sitting on the back of the dragon qilin and rushing to Bazhou.
Bazhou is still 5,000 miles away from here, and the journey is quite long. Even with the strength of Long Qilin's feet, it would take him the next day to reach Bazhou. In addition to the rest on the way, it is estimated that he would not be able to reach Bazhou until the next night.
"If my treasure ship is still there, it will be much easier. It's a pity that it was destroyed."
Qin Mu ordered Long Qilin to go on the road with all his strength, and promised him a bucket of food every day. Long Qilin cheered up and ran towards Bazhou on the fire cloud.
Unknowingly at night, Qin Mu looked up at the stars, identified the direction, and ordered Long Qilin to continue on his way. When the sun rose, Long Qilin couldn't take it anymore. He was so tired that he foamed at the mouth and couldn't run anymore.
Qin Mu asked him to stop, looked around, identified the location, took out the geographical map of Yankang and checked it carefully, and saw that there was only less than a thousand miles away from Bazhou.
Qin Mu heaved a sigh of relief, fed Long Qilin, and walked forward unhurriedly, letting Long Qilin rest.
Not far away, I saw a house in this remote mountainous area, it should be a newly built house, everything is new, Qin Mu walked over, was about to knock on the door, when the door opened, a woman walked out to meet him, Both of them were startled.
"Mu'er?"
The woman had a unparalleled face, she was startled when she saw him, looked around, wondering: "How did you find this place? I managed to get rid of the blind man and Mr. Ma, but you found me. "
Qin Mu was surprised and delighted: "Grandma, why are you here?" He immediately became alert: "Are you Granny or Li Tianxing?"
Granny Si let him enter the room sideways, and said: "The old devil was temporarily suppressed by me. Although the old Tathagata failed to get rid of him, it still hurt his vitality. Now I am 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 asked suspiciously: "If you are really a mother-in-law, why do you deliberately avoid Master Ma and Grandpa Blind? Why do you hide here?"
Granny Si rolled his eyes at him: "Stinky boy, do you dare to doubt your mother-in-law? If I were an old devil, would I need to make up lies to lie to you if I wanted to harm you?"
Qin Mu thought in his heart, this is indeed the truth, he is indeed pitifully weak compared to Granny Si, if she is Li Tianxing, there is no need to bother, so he walked into the courtyard.
If it was Li Tianxing, with that alluring energy, one look could make him fascinated, making him even more feminine than a woman.
This house is very simple. After all, it has just been built, and there are not many pieces of furniture. Qin Mu looked around and saw that the tables and chairs were crooked, so he was relieved.
Granny Si doesn't have the dexterity of Master Ma's handiwork, and she is good at making clothes, but her carpentry is poor. These tables and chairs are definitely made by Granny Si.
Qin Mu sat on a chair to rest. The chair was high on one side and low on the other. It was very awkward. He felt more relieved that it was indeed made by Granny Si. He asked curiously, "Why didn't Granny go back to Daxu?"
Granny Si shook her head and walked out of the yard. After a while, a few pieces of firewood floated into the yard, and she planned to make a bed.
Qin Mu didn't care about taking a break, so he hurried forward to help. Granny Si is a holy woman in the church. Even though she has lived in the disabled village for forty years, she still hasn't learned the craftsmanship of Master Ma, but Qin Mu is proficient in making all kinds of furniture.
Granny Si couldn't get her hands in, so she went to the river to get some water, came back to polish the bronze mirror, and said, "I can't go back now, so what can I do? There is darkness ruling the Great Ruins at night, and the old devil will come out to make trouble again. Can the village chief and his old bones survive for a few days? Why not just stay here for a while to sharpen the old devil's mind."
Qin Mu quickly made a large bed and moved it into the house. Seeing that she had polished the mirror so that it was pitted, he couldn't laugh or cry, so he quickly took over and turned the vitality into a white tiger vitality. After doing some calculations, the vitality silk was carefully polished Polished the bronze mirror to make it smooth, and then made a dressing table.
Granny Si saw Long Qilin sleeping on the ground, and Qin Mu's bloodshot eyes, exhausted, and said, "You've been driving all night? Go and sleep for a while."
"Aren't you leaving?"
"Don't go."
Qin Mu relaxed and slept on the bed. There was no bedding here, but he was also used to sleeping in the open air, and soon fell into a deep sleep.
After an unknown amount of time, Qin Mu woke up sleepily, and saw Granny Si staring at the bronze mirror on the dressing table, holding a pair of scissors in her hand, pointing the scissors at her face.
"Grandma!" Qin Mu hurriedly said.
Granny Si turned her head, put down the scissors, smiled, and said softly: "The Tathagata said, there is only one way to get rid of the demon, so that he will no longer miss this face completely. Mu'er, I don't want to harm you, let alone you …”
Seeing her lift the scissors again, Qin Mu couldn't stop crying, "Grandma, I don't blame you... I never blamed you..."
"I can't do it!"
Granny Si slumped, put down the scissors, and said with a smile, "Mu'er, help me."
Qin Mu got up from the bed, took the scissors from her hand, and gently put them in her small basket.
"I don't blame you, no one can blame you, you have been hiding for more than forty years, and you haven't seen anyone with your true face for more than forty years."
He knelt down and looked up at the face that was so beautiful that he couldn't find another one. It was the true face of the closest relative who raised him. Qin Mu smiled: "If it were me, it would be fine if I persisted for a day or two. I can't persist for more than forty years. It's not your fault for 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: "Grandma, Li Tianxing, I will get rid of him. You stay here, I will go to Bazhou, something may happen there."
Granny Si nodded slightly.
Qin Mu walked out of the room, turned around and said with a smile, "Mother-in-law, you should eat and drink, don't abuse yourself."
"Stinky boy, you're here to teach me again!" Granny Si said angrily.
Qin Mu laughed, kicked Long Qilin awake, and shouted, "Still sleeping? Get up and hurry!"
