Chapter 257: I Don't Blame You
Qin Mu walked all the way, looking at it, it was full of devastation, hungry people were fleeing, disasters were everywhere, and plagues were rampant, compared to the territory of the Da Lei Yin Temple, which was quite stable, this place was simply hell.
Fortunately, there are many university scholars and elementary school scholars who practice medicine everywhere to suppress the epidemic, otherwise the disaster will be even worse.
Yankang Guoshi built a large number of elementary 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 very amazing together, which is equivalent to a small sect.
Qin Mu saw that there were officers and soldiers everywhere to clean up the demons and monsters who took advantage of the opportunity to make trouble, and the county commander personally guarded the farmland and guarded the seedlings, persuading the displaced people to return to their hometowns, and the emperor's relief grain would soon be transported here.
He also saw that some Taoist disciples and Buddhist disciples were also relieving disasters, but they were a little casual, their ability was limited compared to the strength of the country, and they could save wherever they went. Moreover, some took advantage of the national crisis to preach and gave birth to many cults, but none of them became a climate.
"This natural disaster cannot destroy such a country. Qin Mu said in his heart.
New crops have been planted, and when it is harvest time, the people can be settled. The timing of this disaster in Yankang is extremely strange, just after a great turmoil that swept the whole country, because of the perennial war, the consumption of grain and grass is extremely large, and this snow disaster is enough to break the bones.
"I don't know if the national teacher of Yankang will return to the court, whether the emperor is still providing disaster relief? And where did this natural disaster come from? This is not a disaster that can be created by holy places like Daomen and Da Leiyin Temple, it can only be a god. ”
He looked up at the sky and wondered, why?
Why did the heavens send disasters to Yankang?
Is it for the sake of God's Word on earth?
Before Yankang, there were sects that ruled the world, forming large and small kingdoms, and some sects had ancient inheritances, and there were legends that they were sects left by gods. So is it because the Dao system of God in the world was destroyed by the Yankang Kingdom, and the gods were angry, so this natural disaster came?
Or is there something deeper about this?
Qin Mu found the disciples of the Heavenly Demon Sect and inquired, the Heavenly Demon Sect was in the government's disaster relief, and almost all the disciples in the sect were dispatched, all over the country, and the masters of each hall also donated the money of each hall, and they were already poor. It's just that some merchants hoard goods, and some big lords don't sell grain.
The emperor was furious and killed a number of officials, and found out that many officials were corrupt and perverted the law, greedy for money and money for disaster relief, and killed a number of them, and some took advantage of the sale of official positions and lords, and killed a group. ”
A disciple of the Heavenly Demon Sect followed the emperor to relieve disasters, saw a lot of the world, and said with his eyebrows: "The emperor has been assassinated repeatedly, mostly at the level of the sect master, fortunately, the minister of Chinese martial arts is with him, and the emperor also fights personally, and he is extremely strong." It's a pity that the sect leader didn't go. ”
Qin Mu asked, "Which strong men assassinated the emperor?"
"I heard that it is the poor master, Tian Zhenjun, and some strong people outside the Saiwai. ”
Qin Mu's face changed slightly, and he said, "Have you joined forces with the sect master-level powerhouse outside the Saiwai?"
"I haven't seen it. ”
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Where is the emperor?"
"It's five thousand miles away in Bazhou Mansion. ”
That day, the disciple of the Demon Sect said: "The emperor first went to the south, and wiped out the families in the south who refused to sell grain, and then went to the north, and now he has just arrived in Bazhou." Bazhou is quite stable. ”
Qin Mu froze and asked, "What about the capital, how many first-class masters are left?"
"Leave the prince in charge of the country, and the officials of the prince's family. ”
Qin Mu's face was solemn, there was a prince in the capital, but the prince ran to the Da Lei Yin Temple, the poor master Tian Zhenjun and others almost died in the hands of Yankang Guoshi, and were rescued by Lao Rulai, saying that they had entered the empty door and no longer cared about worldly things, but now the poor master and others ran out.
In addition, the prince went to see Lao Rulai, and the matter was 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 you contact the hall masters?"
"Now that all the churches are in various places for disaster relief, it is difficult to contact them, and it will only take a month or two to gather all the churches. ”
Qin Mu waved his hand, left directly, and sat on the back of the dragon qilin and rushed to Bazhou.
Bazhou is still 5,000 miles away from here, and the road is quite long, and it will take the next day to arrive without resting with the foot strength of the dragon unicorn, plus the rest on the way, it is estimated that it will not be able to arrive at Bazhou until the next night.
"If my treasure ship were still there, it would be much easier. It's a pity that it was ruined. ”
Qin Mu ordered the dragon qilin to hurry with all his strength, and promised him a bucket of food every day, and the dragon qilin lifted his spirits and ran towards Bazhou with his feet on the fire cloud.
Unconsciously, at night, Qin Mu looked up at the stars, identified the direction, and ordered the dragon qilin to continue to hurry, and when the sun rose, the dragon qilin couldn't bear it, and 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, looked around, identified the location, took out the geographical map of Yankang and looked at it carefully, only to see that there were only less than a thousand miles left from Bazhou.
Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief, fed the dragon qilin, and walked forward unhurriedly, letting the dragon qilin rest.
I didn't go far to see a house appear in this poor mountain and remote area, 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 stunned.
"Shepherd?"
The woman had a peerless face, and when she saw him, she was stunned, looked around, and wondered, "How did you find here?" 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 leaned sideways and let him into the house, and said: "The old devil was temporarily suppressed by me, although Lao Rulai failed to get rid of him, but it also hurt his vitality greatly, and 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 Muhu said suspiciously: "If you are really your mother-in-law, why do you deliberately avoid Ma Ye and Blind Grandpa? Why are you hiding here?"
Granny Si glanced at him: "Stinky boy, even my mother-in-law dares to doubt it? If I am an old devil, if I want to harm you, I still need to make up lies to deceive you?"
Qin Mu thought in his heart, this is indeed the truth, he is indeed pitifully weak compared to Granny Si, if she is a strong Tianxing, she doesn't need to think about it, so she walks into the courtyard.
If it is Li Tianxing, that charming energy, a look can make you fascinated, and she is more feminine than a woman.
This mansion is very simple, after all, it has just been built, there are not a few pieces of furniture, Qin Mu looked around, and saw that the tables and chairs were crooked, so he was relieved.
Granny Si is not as dexterous as Ma Ye, and she can make clothes, but the carpentry is pitiful, and these tables and chairs are definitely from Granny Si's handwriting.
Qin Mu sat on the chair to rest, this chair was high and low, it was very awkward, and he was more relieved in his heart, it was indeed a chair made by Granny Si, and he was curious: "Why doesn't Mother-in-law go back to Daxu?"
Granny Si shook her head and walked out of the yard, and after a few moments a few pieces of firewood floated into the yard, and she planned to make a bed.
Qin Mu couldn't rest, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, Granny Si is a saint in the sect, even if she has lived in the old village for forty years, she has not learned the craft of Ma Ye, but Qin Mu is proficient in creating all kinds of furniture.
Granny Si couldn't intervene, 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, what can I do when I go back? There is darkness in the ruins at night, and the old devil runs out to toss again, and the village chief can hold back a few old bones for a few days? It is better to live here for a while and sharpen the old devil's heart." ”
Qin Mu quickly finished a big bed, moved into the house, and saw that she had polished the mirror into potholes, crying and laughing, and hurriedly took it over, turning the vitality into the vitality of the white tiger, and then calculated, the vitality silk was finely polished, the bronze mirror was polished and smoothed, and then went to make a makeup table.
Granny Si saw Long Qilin lying on the ground and falling asleep, and saw Qin Mu's bloodshot eyes and exhausted, and said, "You have been on the road all night, let's go sleep for a while." ”
"You're not leaving?"
"Don't go. ”
Qin Mu put his mind at ease and slept on the bed, there was no bedding here, but he was also used to sleeping in the open air, and soon fell asleep.
After a while, Qin Mu woke up and saw Granny Si staring at the bronze mirror on the dressing table, holding scissors in her hand, and the scissors were facing her face.
"Mother-in-law!" Qin Mu said hurriedly.
Granny Si turned her head, put down the scissors, smiled, and said softly: "For example, there is only one way to break the demons in his heart, so that he will no longer cherish this face at all." Mu'er, I don't want to harm you, and I don't want to harm you......"
Qin Mu saw her lift the scissors again, and her tears couldn't stop rolling out: "Mother-in-law, don't blame you...... I've never blamed you......"
"I can't do it!"
Granny Si was depressed, put down the scissors, and said with a smile: "Mu'er, you come to help me." ”
Qin Mu got up from the bed, took the scissors from her hand, and gently placed them in her small basket.
"I don't blame you, no one can blame you, you've been hiding for more than 40 years, and you haven't seen people with your true face for more than 40 years. ”
He crouched down and looked up at the face that was too beautiful to find a second one, the true face of the person who had raised him. Qin Mu smiled: "If you were me, it would be okay to persist for a day or two, but for more than forty years, I can't hold on." It's not your fault what you look like. What beautiful woman is willing to cover her face forever and meet people with an old face?"
He stood up and said, "Mother-in-law, Li Tianxing will get rid of him." You stay here, I'll go to Bazhou, something may happen there. ”
Granny Si nodded slightly.
Qin Mu walked out of the room, turned around and smiled: "Mother-in-law, you should eat and drink, don't abuse yourself." ”
"Stinky boy, you're here to teach me a lesson again!" Granny Si said angrily.
Qin Mu laughed, kicked the dragon qilin awake, and shouted, "Still sleeping, get up and hurry!"
