CHAPTER XXIX
"Fairy Mu, please. Try how the Jingnan clouds cultivated in this European continent compare to those of the land of Shenzhou. In order to avoid the disaster of war, my father lived here and brought a few tea saplings. Over the years, it has taken a lot of effort to successfully plant in this foreign land thousands of miles away, and my generation can be fortunate to taste the fragrance of this homeland. ”
The old man in a Confucian robe on the opposite side picked up the tea cup in his hand and smiled at Mu Qinyi, his posture was soothing and his demeanor was full, which was clearly a Confucian style that could only be cultivated over the years. Mu Qinyi raised the tea cup in his hand and tasted it lightly, but it was also a fragrance. However, she has never drunk much tea, and she is not very good at tasting good or bad, so she can only answer: "It is indeed good tea...... It's just a pity that the water is a little bit worse. ”
"Then it can't be helped. The old man laughed. "After all, this is an isolated island in the river and sea, but there is no way to find a good mountain spring to match this good tea. However, Fairy Mu is a master from the Five Elements Sect, is there a way to do it?"
"The water of the mountain spring has its own heaven and earth spirituality, and what is created by the Tao can only be stagnant water. Mu Qinyi shook his head and smiled. In this continent of Europe, which is almost full of white skin and hair, it is unbelievable to suddenly sit opposite such a Confucian old man and enjoy fragrant tea. And all the furnishings in this hall, from the large tables, chairs, bookcases, and furniture, to the books on the bookcases next to the kettle and teapot, are all Shenzhou objects, if you just stay here, you won't feel that you are actually on a foreign continent.
And that's not even the most fantastic. The seemingly spacious living room they were in was actually in the belly of the island in the middle of the river she had discovered earlier. I don't know what method was used, but I was able to bring in the light from the sky outside, and through the crystal above, the hall was illuminated like the open air, and even the warmth brought by the daylight could be felt.
"Uncle Zhang's small island rockery is indeed exquisitely arranged, which shows that it really took a lot of thought. It can really be called a paradise, and it seems to be the work that has been slowly accumulated over the years. In the turmoil in Osstar City, it was not a fluke that the old man was able to lead the family members to retreat. ”
"Don't dare, don't dare, how can this broken island dare to be called a paradise, it's just a place to avoid disaster. The old man sighed, and there was not the slightest smugness in his expression, but a little gloomy. "Far away in this stormy and turbulent foreign land, all my thoughts are just thinking about how to preserve my Shenzhou bloodline, and every move is trembling like walking on thin ice, and I don't think about retreating all the time. Only then did I try my best to spend a huge amount of money to buy this abandoned floating island from the hands of those dwarven barbarians, as the last place to stay, but I didn't expect that there would really be a day when it would be useful......"
Naturally, the old man is not alone in living on this small island. In fact, Mu Qinyi herself didn't expect that she was just drifting downstream, and she actually happened to meet the Shenzhou people who escaped from Osstar City some time ago, and this small island was also a floating island ship that they quietly purchased from the dwarves.
The dwarves, a humanoid race on the continent of Europe, mostly inhabit the dungeons built under the mountains, and the Sgut Mountains in the north are the largest and last habitat of the dwarves on the continent, and they also struggled to support and did not fall during the Austro-French Empire. The nearby Northern Legion was also formed during the Imperial era to deal with the dwarves, and it has been left to this day.
Dwarves are almost incapable of swimming because of their stout bodies and natural habits, but sometimes they have to go to sea or cross rivers, and dwarves are naturally affinity for the earth element, and there are many priests in the clan who believe in the god of the earth element, so they developed this floating island ship that looks like an island. In fact, the reason is very simple, it is a huge hard but honeycomb hollow rock, in addition to the inconvenience of driving, if it is more stable than any ship, almost not afraid of any wind and waves, and the internal space is huge, it can accommodate hundreds of people living in it. From this point of view, this thing is indeed a good place to escape.
The young man Mu Qinyi met by chance before was a member of the old man clan. Although they have been scattered on the European continent in the past few decades, the blood ties have not been broken, especially in this continent full of alien barbarians, and the connection between them is only closer. The old man gave an order, and all the Shenzhou people in the entire Osstar City left by boat before the cultists **** and hid in the floating islands hundreds of miles away. The man Mu Qinyi met that day thought that she was also a Shenzhou person living in seclusion on this floating island, and after talking to her, he heard that he was actually from Oss Star City, and it was a military mage who came with the envoys of the Shenzhou court, so he was so shocked that he couldn't speak, and stammered and asked Mu Qinyi to come into the floating island to meet the patriarch.
Mu Qinyi was very curious about this wonderful floating island and the people inside, of course, she happily went, and the house on the island that was furnished with the atmosphere of Shenzhou also surprised her, but after waiting for a long time, someone came to inform the patriarch that he was temporarily out in a hurry, and asked the mage to wait here, but when she wanted to go out, she was told that the mechanism leading to the outside of the floating island suddenly failed, and it couldn't be opened.
At that time, Mu Qinyi was a little flustered, she knew that she was careless after all, and she was paralyzed by the appearance of the same Shenzhou ethnicity, you must know that this is a group of people living in a foreign land and struggling to survive, and when she is hiding to avoid trouble, her vigilance and precaution must be extremely heavy. However, seeing that all the people she came into contact with were still respectful and polite to her, she also put her mind at ease for the time being, and decided to wait for the time being.
Sure enough, after patiently waiting on this island for a day, someone finally came to inform them that their patriarch had returned in time, and asked Mu Qinyi to go over and talk about it. As for whether those faulty mechanisms were repaired, no one mentioned it, but Mu Qinyi could feel that there were a few sturdy men around, and there was a faint sense of caution in the eyes that occasionally looked at her.
Mu Qinyi just smiled at this. After this day's rest, her spiritual vitality has recovered to the best, and these seemingly strong men are only strong in the ordinary sense, and they do not show strong qi and blood or any other profound aura. The point is that after secretly using the water element, she basically figured out the structure and mechanism of this floating island, and now she really wants to leave without any problem. At this time, looking at the arrangement of the patriarch on this island, it seems a little ridiculous.
But she still quietly followed and met the patriarch Old Man Zhang. These overly cautious faux pas can also be said to be understandable, she doesn't mind too much, and Mu Qinyi wants to know a lot.
"I don't know if my husband knows what is the mystery behind the cultist **** in Osstar City? What does the **** have to do with my Shenzhou ethnicity?"
After drinking fragrant tea and greeting each other, Mu Qinyi didn't go around in any circles, and asked questions directly.
The old man didn't answer, but just asked: "I don't know how the imperial envoys are in Osin City today, please let Fairy Mu know." ”
"How is Osstar City now, my father-in-law knows it at home, why do I need to be told by an outsider who has just arrived?" Mu Qinyi also smiled faintly. The cultist **** in Osstar City must have a deep relationship with this group of remnants of the former dynasty who have escaped from disaster, and this old man can even prepare for such a huge floating island in advance, and it is impossible not to leave a little eyeliner in Osstar City that has been in operation for decades.
Sure enough, the old man smiled and said, "The old man has only heard some rumors. I heard that there are actually remnants of the Renaissance Society and other European dynasties hiding in Osstar City, planning very deeply, intending to provoke a conflict between the Yijiao Temple and the mage, and also kidnapped the sergeant in the envoy camp, but a mage in the envoy army, a counselor, saw the flaw and went directly to the door. The two adults showed their might, not only almost took down the two remnants of the previous dynasty, but also razed the gangsters in the city to the ground and annihilated them in one fell swoop...... It's really a sigh of relief for the decades of grievances of my Shenzhou ethnic group. ”
"But what the old man asked, naturally, it won't be something that these ordinary people can also hear. The old man picked up the teacup and took a sip gently. is still dignified, but in the steam, the old eyes that are muddy and scattered seem to have a flash of essence. "What the old man wants to know is that the current imperial court has sent this envoy group thousands of miles away to this foreign land, what do you want? What arrangements do you have for us, the remnants of the previous dynasty?"
Mu Qinyi shook his head and smiled after being slightly stunned: "The old man is thinking too much." In fact, it's just that the Duke of Incre on the continent of Europe sent people to send gifts and documents to the imperial court before, and the imperial court naturally gave them back. As for how to deal with you remnants of the previous dynasty, maybe a few adults in the Ministry of Rites have some ideas, but I don't know about them. I'm not interested in any of these things. ”
"Needless to say, these foolish scenes are not to be said. But the light in the old man's eyes never dissipated. "It's just a reward to the princes of the Fanbang, where is the use of such a master who does not hesitate to cross thousands of miles across the ocean? That military mage and counselor can easily defeat those mages of the Revival Society, and it is said that there are extremely high spells that appear later, which makes the major temples and the mage council all shake together. Even if these two masters are placed on the land of Shenzhou, they are by no means ordinary, right?"
"And now that the Demon Sect has reappeared on the land of Shenzhou, and the current imperial court is in turmoil, but he is willing to send such two great masters to this thousands of miles away at will? If there is no great reason, why would they risk their lives here?"
The old man's words made Mu Qinyi speechless for a while, and he had nothing to say, because it was true. Whether it is Liu Xuanying, who is an elder of the True Martial Sect, or Feng Yinqiu, who is a mysterious and mysterious cultivator who can definitely be regarded as a master in Shenzhou, they are actually extremely incommensurate with this small envoy group. It is normal for the old man to have such questions, but the old man even understands the current situation in the Shenzhou Continent, and it seems that the exchanges between the two continents have not been completely severed.
Of course, whether it is Liu Xuanying or Feng Yinqiu, neither of them should be the right people of the imperial court, and Mu Qinyi can vaguely see that these two people should have their own thoughts. But these words were not enough to explain, and Mu Qinyi only smiled bitterly: "Is this...... The little woman really didn't know why the two of them came to this continent, but it shouldn't have been ordered by the imperial court. The little woman didn't have the slightest interest in what the adults of the envoy group had planned, and this time she came to the Euro Continent just to play, and the old man didn't need to worry too much. ”
"Oh, then Fairy Mu came to our hidden floating island, and it was just a coincidence?"
"That's true. I just came down the river, wanting to enter the military towns in the north from the mouth of the river to explore the traces of the cultists, and I happened to meet my father-in-law's people here, so he brought him in to visit him. ”
The old man was silent, his expression was unwavering, and he picked up the teacup again and said to Mu Qinyi: "That old man is wrong to blame Fairy Mu." Replace the wine with tea, and then pay tribute to the fairy. ”
Mu Qinyi smiled slightly, and also picked up the teacup and took another sip.
The old man put down the teacup and asked slowly, "Then I don't know why Fairy Mu wants to come to visit the so-called cultist?"
"Pretty much. Mu Qinyi smiled. "I have a friend who is interested in this and I want to help him. And there are some things that I find quite strange......"
"It has long been heard that the former dynasty was to serve Confucianism as the way of the world, and the remnants of the former dynasties who migrated to this European continent should also be passed down to the world with the learning of Confucian saints. Today, I can see Zhang's Confucian demeanor, and I know that this is true. But the little woman had heard that 'the son is silent, strange, powerful, chaotic, and godly', and the two doors of Buddhism and Taoism in the previous dynasty have all declined, and after arriving in this European continent, I also heard that the remnants of the previous dynasty did not believe in the gods of Europe. But then why is it involved in a cult ****? It seems that there are also many Shenzhou ethnic groups who worship this sect that believes in evil gods, right?"
The old man was silent, but the face on his face became more and more ugly, the cloudy old eyes seemed to be getting more and more cloudy, and the eyelids were getting lower and lower. After a long time, he whispered, "Yes, Fairy Mu is right." I rule the world with the teachings of the saints, even if I am already in a foreign land, how can I be bewitched by the European cult? But does Fairy Mu know where the distinction between good and evil comes from?"
"I don't know about this......" Mu Qinyi shook his head slightly. "However, the true spirit of heaven and earth in this European continent is true, if it is the true spirit of heaven and earth, I'm afraid no one will dare to call it an evil god, right?"
"Yes, if it is the true spirit of heaven and earth, naturally no one dares to deny it. For example, although there are few believers in the gods of the four elements, no one dares to denounce them as a cult. The rest of the sun and moon thundered, and the mountains, rivers and oceans were all the same. It's just that when it comes to the second-class humane gods, it depends on people to decide which is right and which is evil. ”
"God of humanity...... According to the words of this European continent, it seems to be called ......" Mu Qinyi pondered for a while, and said in European terms: "'Secondary God', right?"
"Exactly. For Mu Qinyi's Eurotic language, the old man was also slightly surprised. That is, those humane gods listed by the Heavenly Master Sect that condense the incense of faith. It's just that this European people are simple-minded, and the people they worship also have their origins, and their hearts are pious, which is a hundred times stronger than the names of the gods that the Heavenly Master Sect has haphazardly sealed, and the true spirit of this piece of heaven and earth is revealed, and the condensed gods are also true gods. ”
Mu Qinyi nodded slightly. She had just learned to walk the path of Shinto, and she also had some understanding of the belief in the gods on the continent, and the old man's words were indeed good. Judging from the temple churches in Ossium, these 'secondary gods' that only exist because of humane beliefs actually account for the majority, such as the 'Guardian Hand', 'God of Forging', 'God of War', and so on. Compared with the hundreds of immortals canonized by the Zhengyi Sect on the Shenzhou continent, these European humane gods are well-deserved 'true gods', as long as they can truly comprehend the meaning of the gods and pray sincerely, they can truly attract the laws of heaven and earth represented by the gods. And the many gods on the true spiritual karma map of the Zhengyi Sect play the role of condensing the power of incense at most, and no matter how great the power gathered, it is just a puppet that is called, and if you want to exert the mysteries that can attract the laws of heaven and earth above the innate nature, you must take the Zhengyi Divine Qi Forbidden Law as the foundation.
The true spiritual karma map was sealed by Zhang Tianshi in the past dynasties, so naturally it can't be counted. And the humane gods of this European continent seem to be born purely by people's natural worship over the years, but Mu Qinyi, the evil god, really doesn't know. When she heard about the evil gods and evil gods before, she thought that she was just like those Yin Soul Demons who believed in some profound cultivation in the Shenzhou Continent, but she didn't think much about it.
“... In terms of the characteristics of heaven and earth in this European continent, if there is no restraint, there are not many true gods born in the torrent of humanity, and there will be mud and sand among them, and the good and the bad will be uneven. For example, acts such as 'killing', 'stealing', 'robbing' and 'fraud' may be admired and indulged by very few evil people, but they are harmful to the human race itself, and it is contrary to the nature of conscience. However, this European land can lead to a foreign land full of demons, and the evil demons in it are tyrannical and vicious far more than any wild beast, and among them, there are great supernatural people who will try to get involved in this world by condensing such beliefs in the true gods, and I have heard that there have been several catastrophes caused by it in the past dynasties, and countless casualties have been injured. Therefore, all the existing churches of gods and spirits have also had a tacit understanding that has lasted for thousands of years, and they are all on guard against any worship of gods that involves negative factors......"
Mu Qinyi couldn't help but listen. She didn't have much contact with the Euro people, and it was the first time she had heard of the deep reasons for these gods and spirits, and she had also seen the strange monsters summoned by the mage with arcane laws, which were indeed tyrannical and terrifying, not like natural creatures, and she didn't expect that there was such a deep background behind them.
Such vigilance is good. However, it is also inevitable to overkill some acts that have long historical roots and are almost inhumane... ”
"Revenge?" Mu Qinyi suddenly realized. "It turns out that the cults that the Euros are talking about worship the 'God of Vengeance'?"
"Sage Yiyun: Repay grievances with straightforwardness. The old man said in a deep voice. "An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth, what evil is there in such an act? If there is no blood splashed in five steps without the anger of the husband, will all the justice and justice in this world depend on others to give alms?"
