Chapter 257

Qin Mu walked all the way. Looking around, he saw devastation, hungry people fleeing, disasters everywhere, and plagues everywhere. Compared with the relatively stable territory of the great Leiyin temple, this place is simply hell.

Fortunately, there are many university students and primary school students practicing medicine everywhere to suppress the epidemic, otherwise the disaster will be even worse.

Yankang teachers built a large number of primary schools and universities to replace private schools, which came in handy at this time. Although the strength of each of these scholars is very weak, they are amazing together, equivalent to small sects.

Qin Mu saw that officers and soldiers were fighting around against the demons and ghosts who took the opportunity to make trouble. The county magistrate personally guarded the farmland to protect the seedlings and persuaded the refugees to return home. The food for the emperor's disaster relief will soon be transported here.

He also saw that some disciples of Taoism and Buddhism were also in disaster relief, but they were a little casual. Compared with the power of the country, their ability was limited, and they could be saved wherever they went. Moreover, some took advantage of the national disaster 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's heart.

New crops have been planted. As long as the harvest season comes, people can settle down. The timing of this disaster in Yankang is extremely strange. It is precisely after a great turmoil sweeping the country. Because of the perennial war, the consumption of food and grass is huge, coupled with this snow disaster, it is enough to hurt muscles and bones.

"I don't know whether the master of Yankang returned to the dynasty, whether the emperor is still in relief? And where did this natural disaster come from? This is not a disaster that sacred places such as daomen and Dalaiyin temple can create, but God."

He looked up at the sky, wondering why?

Why should heaven send disaster to Yankang?

For God's orthodoxy on earth?

Before Yankang, sects ruled the world and formed large and small countries. Some sects have an ancient heritage. There are legends that they were left by God. So is it because God's orthodoxy on earth was destroyed by Yankang, and the gods were angry that this natural disaster came down?

Or are there other deeper reasons?

Qin Mu found the disciples of Tianmo sect and asked about it. With the government's disaster relief, almost all the disciples of Tianmo sect went out all over the country. The hall leaders also donated the money of each hall, which was already poor. It's just that some businesses hoard goods, and some aristocratic families don't sell grain.

"The emperor was so angry that he killed a batch. He also found out that many officials were corrupt, perverted the law, and greedy for money for disaster relief. He killed a batch, and some killed a batch while taking advantage of those who sold their officials and titles."

A disciple of the demon sect followed the emperor in disaster relief and saw a lot of things in the world. He beamed and said, "the emperor has also been assassinated many times, mostly at the level of the sect leader. Fortunately, the Chinese military Minister of the dynasty accompanied him, and the emperor fought himself, which was extremely strong. It is a pity that the sect leader did not go."

Qin Mu asked, "which strong men assassinated the emperor?"

"I heard it was the poor master, Tian Zhenjun, and some strong people outside the Great Wall."

Qin Mu's face changed slightly and said, "have you joined hands with the leader level strong outside the Great Wall? Has Yankang national master returned?"

"Never."

Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "where is the emperor?"

"It's five thousand miles away in Bazhou Prefecture."

On that day, the disciples of the demon sect said, "the emperor went to the South first and wiped out those aristocratic families in the South who refused to sell grain. Then he went to the north. Now he has just arrived in Bazhou. Bazhou is still stable."

Qin Mu calmed down and asked, "where is the capital? How many first-class dignitaries are left?"

"Leave the crown prince to supervise the country, as well as officials of the crown prince's department."

Qin Mu's face was dignified. There was a prince supervising the state in the capital, but the prince ran to the big Leiyin temple. The poor master Tian Zhenjun and others had almost died in the hands of the master of the state of Yankang, and were rescued by the old Buddha. They said that they had entered the empty door and no longer cared about secular affairs, but now the poor master and others ran out.

Plus the prince goes to see the old Tathagata, the matter in this is big.

"It is said that the imperial court is the biggest Holy Land in the world. I don't know if it really collides with the big Leiyin temple, who can be better?"

Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "can you contact the hall leaders?"

"Now all the churches are in various places for disaster relief, so it's difficult to contact. If you want to gather all the churches, I'm afraid it will take a month or two."

Qin Mu waved his hand and walked away, sitting on the back of long Qilin and rushed to Bazhou.

Bazhou is still fivethousand miles away from here. It's quite a long way. With the strength of long Qilin's feet, it will take him the next day to get there. Plus the rest on the way, it's estimated that he can't get to Bazhou until the next night.

"If my treasure ship were still there, it would be much easier. Unfortunately, it was destroyed."

Qin Mu ordered long Qilin to hurry with all his strength and promised him a bucket of food every day. Long Qilin cheered up and ran to Bazhou with a cloud of fire.

Unconsciously, 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 bear it. He was so tired that he foamed at the mouth, couldn't run, and his steps became slower and slower.

Qin Mu asked him to stop, look around, identify the location, take out the geographical map of Yankang and check it carefully. He saw that it was less than a thousand miles away from Bazhou.

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, fed long Qilin, and walked forward leisurely to let long Qilin rest.

Not far away, I saw a house appear in this backcountry. 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 out came a woman to meet him. Both of them were stunned.

"Shepherd?"

The woman had an unparalleled face. Seeing him, she suddenly stunned, looked around and wondered, "how did you find this place? It was not easy for me to get rid of the blind man and the horse master, but you found it."

Qin Mu was surprised and happy: "grandma, why are you here?" He immediately became alert: "are you mother-in-law or Li Tianxing?"

Mrs. Si sidled him into the room and said, "the old devil is temporarily suppressed by our town. Although the old Tathagata failed to get rid of him, it also hurt his vitality. Now I am close to him, so I made an agreement with him. He comes out at night and I come out during the day."

Qin Mu doubted, "if you are really a mother-in-law, why do you deliberately avoid the horse Lord and blind grandpa? Why do you hide here?"

Mrs. Si gave him a blank look: "smelly boy, even my mother-in-law dares to doubt? If I'm an old devil, I need to make up a lie to deceive you if I want to harm you?"

Qin Mu thought in his heart that it was indeed this truth. He was really poor compared with mother-in-law Si. If she was Li Tianxing, she didn't need to spend much time before entering the yard.

If it is a fierce, charming spirit, a look can make yourself fascinated, and it is more women than women.

This house is very simple. After all, it has just been built and there are few pieces of furniture. Qin Mu looked around and saw that the tables and chairs were all crooked, so he was relieved.

Mother-in-law Si is not as skillful as master Ma in making clothes, but the carpentry is poor. These tables and chairs are definitely written by mother-in-law Si.

Qin Mu sat on a chair to rest. The chair was high and low, which was very uncomfortable. He felt more relieved that it was indeed a chair made by mother-in-law Si. He said curiously, "why didn't mother-in-law go back to the ruins?"

Mrs. Si shook her head and walked out of the yard. After a while, a few pieces of firewood floated into the yard. She planned to make a bed.

Qin Mu couldn't take a rest and hurried to help. Mother-in-law Si was a saint of the church. Even though she had lived in the disabled old village for 40 years, she didn't learn the craft of master Ma. Instead, Qin Mu was proficient in making all kinds of furniture.

Mrs. Si couldn't get in. She took some water from the river and came back to polish the bronze mirror. She said, "I can't go back now. What can I do if I go back? There is darkness in the ruins at night, and the old devil will run out and toss again. How many old bones of the village head can they resist for a few days? It's better to live here for a period of time to polish the old devil's mind."

Qin Mu quickly made a big bed and moved it into the room. Seeing that she had polished the mirror to potholes, he couldn't cry or laugh. He quickly took over the hand, turned the vitality into white tiger vitality, and then calculated. The vitality wire was polished carefully, polished the bronze mirror flat, and then went to make a dressing table.

Mother-in-law Si saw long Qilin lying on the ground and sleeping. She saw Qin Mu's eyes full of blood and exhausted, and said, "you've been in a hurry all night? Go to sleep first."

"Won't you go?"

"No."

Qin Mu put down his heart and slept in bed. There was no quilt here, but he was also used to sleeping in the open air, and soon fell asleep.

After not knowing how long, Qin Mu woke up bleary and saw mother-in-law Si in a trance facing the bronze mirror on the dressing table, holding scissors in her hand, scissors facing her face.

"Grandma!" Qin Mu hurriedly said.

Mrs. Si turned her head, put down the scissors, smiled, and whispered, "Tathagata said that there is only one way to get rid of the demons in his heart, so that he will never miss this face again. Mu'er, I don't want to harm you, let alone harm you..."

Qin Mu saw that she lifted the scissors again, and his tears rolled out: "mother-in-law, I don't blame you... I never blame you..."

"I can't do it!"

Mother-in-law Si was decadent, 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.

"Don't blame you, no one can blame you. You've been hiding for more than 40 years, and you haven't seen anyone with your true face for more than 40 years."

He squatted down and looked up at the face so beautiful that he couldn't find the second one. It was the true face of the close relative who raised himself. Qin Mu smiled: "it's OK for me to stick to it for more than 40 years. It's not your fault what I look like. Which beautiful woman is willing to cover her face forever and meet people with an old face?"

He stood up and said, "grandma, Li Tianxing, I'll get rid of him. You stay here, I'll go to Bazhou, where there may be an accident."

Mrs. Si nodded gently.

Qin Mu walked out of the room, looked back and said with a smile, "mother-in-law, you should eat and drink, don't abuse yourself."

"Stinky boy, teach me a lesson again!" Mother-in-law Si angrily said.

Qin Mu laughed, kicked long Qilin awake, and shouted, "are you still asleep? Get up and go!"
