Chapter 72: The Ten Year Sacrifice
Chapter 72: The Ten Year Sacrifice
After a few more days, Qin Mu swept the floor alone in the Desperate Heart Mountain, and on this day he met Mo Huayue "no coincidence", and then Mo Huayue invited him to have a cup of tea "no coincidence". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
In fact, this is more than a year, every month Qin Mu will chat with Mo Huayue about a cup of tea, although there is no fixed time and place, but this has almost become an established customary thing, but it is strange to say that now Qin Mu is in prison, many people in Jiuwang Mountain laugh at him, look down on him, and feel that he will be like this for the rest of his life, but Mo Huayue has a little more other emotions towards him than before, maybe it can be said to be pity, maybe it can be said to be a more far-sighted plan, after all, there is Xuan Yu Zhenren's previous things first, and it can also be seen that Xuan Yu Zhenren still values himself as the smallest closed disciple, It's just that after ten years of hard labor, the future attention will definitely not be comparable to Guan Zhuqing's sister and brother!
However, in the final analysis, Qin Mu is still the youngest disciple of Xuan Yu Zhenren, so what will happen in the future, it is not known yet, and now that Shen Tu Kun has joined Jiuwang Mountain, and is also ranked as the first guest elder, the pressure on Mo Huayue is also very great, and the matter has forced her to go all the way to the end, and she will try her best to get the support of Xuan Yu Zhenren.
In the final analysis, Jiuwang Mountain is still a place that speaks according to strength, and ten years later, Qin Mu is almost thirty years old, and he is too far behind others, and he has lost the value of cultivation. Therefore, Mo Huayue can only be symbolically kind to him, and there is no other substantial help.
Qin Mu took a sip of tea, glanced at the empty courtyard outside, and then opened his mouth with emotion: "Senior Mo, we have known each other for some years!"
Mo Huayue looked at the young man who had changed so much under her eyelids, and the murderous aura that had turned into the old man who was now looking through the world, she was also touched by these words unconsciously, and said with emotion: "It's been some years!"
"Senior Mo, what do you think of me, Qin Mu?" Qin Mu suddenly asked coldly, and Mo Huayue, who asked, was also stunned, but she didn't think much about it, and said truthfully: "Ruthless but persistent, not bowing your head, courageous, courageous, and keeping your promises, it is also a little smart!"
"Hehe" Qin Mu laughed self-deprecatingly: "I'm actually a smart person?"
Mo Huayue didn't sarcastically mock him, and still said in a reassuring tone: "Smart people also make mistakes, and in the face of the bottom line, smart people will basically become stupid, so there is nothing to argue!"
Qin Mu drank all the tea in one gulp, and said in a deep voice: "Yes, there is nothing to argue, everything is my choice, and then doubting the decisions made before is useless, and it will add to the trouble." ”
Feeling the subtle changes in Qin Mu's mood, Mo Huayue suddenly had other ideas, feeling that Qin Mu today was really different, so her bright eyes carefully looked at this child who she couldn't figure out now!
When Qin Mu drank another cup of tea, Mo Huayue suddenly said: "Say it, is there something you want me to help with?" Although these words are a bit abrupt, and most of them are speculation, but she is not unfounded, as the child of a wealthy family in the Dalan Empire, she knows too much about the way of observing words and feelings.
Qin Mu grinned, his simple expression jumped on his face, he stood up with both hands on the table, looked at Mo Huayue who was close in front of him and said with a smile: "Heh, Senior Mo is too worried, with my current body of sin, what qualifications do I have to make other requirements!"
Mo Huayue seemed to have recognized the thoughts in her heart, and when Qin Mu turned around, she was even more affirmative: "Don't talk about these useless things, I know the flowery intestines in your heart, say it, don't hide it, is there anything going on?"
Qin Mu stopped and said quietly: "It's been almost ten years, it's been almost ten years since my mother died, according to the rules passed down from generation to generation in the village, for the first ten years of the festival, I have to go home to worship their two elders." ”
The ten-year sacrifice is a kind of folk custom in the empire, when a person dies, the descendants must come back for the first ten years to worship the soul, otherwise it is a blasphemy of relatives, a violation of filial piety, and will be spurned. Although it is difficult for you to be an immortal, it is also difficult to completely cut off the mundane and mortal, so she also feels that Qin Mu's request is reasonable.
After pondering for a while, Mo Huayue said calmly: "Well, the national style of the Dalan Empire pays attention to loyalty and filial piety, and your requirements are indeed not high. But after saying this, she didn't say anything more, and looked at him quietly as if waiting for Qin Mu to say.
Qin Mu bowed respectfully and said solemnly: "Everything has a few kind words from Lao Mo's predecessor in front of the head, which fulfills Qin's filial piety, and one day in the future, when Qin's service ends, he will not forget the kindness of his predecessors!"
Mo Huayue raised her arm and used her mana to help Qin Mu up, and said leisurely: "It's still too early, I will mention this matter to the real person in charge, I think with your identity, plus the matter of Xuan Yu Zhenren first, the head should consider one or two as appropriate, as for whether it is successful or not, it depends on the thoughts of the people above." ”
She really knows Qin Mu's heart too well, as long as it is the other party's answer and the promise she made, she will definitely not forget it, let alone do something that goes against her beliefs, so she is naturally willing to accept this busy person who is nothing at all, and she does have some things to ask him for.
Qin Mu looked like he had seen through the world, his face was not emotional, and he lowered his head slightly: "As long as you have your mind, as for the result, it all depends on the will of heaven." ”
Mo Huayue picked up a cup of tea and said, "Well, I'll reply to you in three days!"
Qin Mu saw that the goal had been achieved and the time was not early, so he didn't say anything, picked up the broom that had accompanied him for more than a year, and calmly left the quiet courtyard that was already owned by the elders.
After a short break, sweeping continued, the sun was hot at noon, fortunately, Qin Mu was already a cultivator in the late stage of the Feng Chu Realm, and he was no longer afraid of this hot weather, but at this time, it was really a difficult time to sweep the floor.
In the evening, Qin Mu finished his day's work as usual and returned to the temporary residence of Blood Ghost Mountain, the purple light wolf had been waiting for a long time, and a little anxious and nervous look could be seen in his eyes.
As soon as the words ......came out, Qin Mu gestured to him with his eyes, and said in a deep voice: "Come into the house and say." Then the two of them went one after the other into the dark cave.
As soon as Qin Mufang sat down, he said in a low voice: "She agreed, if nothing happens, the order should be issued in a few days, and the preparations over there should also begin!"
"Hmm" The purple wolf responded, and didn't ask anything more, they have lived together for so long, and the meaning implied in each other's every move can be easily understood, so there is no need to say anything.
On the second day, Qin Mu came to the Hall of Merit quietly, and exchanged most of the belongings on his body into meritorious deeds, most of which were medicinal materials and ores that were robbed from the last trial, and then exchanged them with Zhenyuan Dan and a few talismans with meritorious deeds, and the wealth accumulated in his hands over the years was indeed a lot, there were nearly eighty spirit stones alone, of which there were seven medium-grade spirit stones, most of which came from the mysterious zombie storage bag, and most of the rest were scattered rewards from Xuan Yu Zhenren.
Of course, Qin Mu didn't exchange the spirit stone, after all, he knew the value of this thing, and it was a tyrannical thing to use to exchange for meritorious deeds.
Qin Mu, as the coquettish son of the new generation of disciples of Jiuwang Mountain, was a closed disciple of a real person as soon as he started, and his peers took him as a model, but now he is just the only sinner in Jiuwang Mountain who has been sentenced to ten years of service in the past few decades, and his sweeping career for more than a year has already made everyone stop paying attention to them, so for him to go to the Hall of Merit alone to exchange things, he did not attract anyone's attention, and even when he saw him, most people would choose to avoid him, as if they were afraid of getting bad luck.
The world is hot and cold, it has nothing to do with right or wrong!, but Qin Mu is also happy to see this situation, in his nature, he is not good at communicating with people, and what he wants to do now is indeed known to as few people as possible.
After changing things, Qin Mu continued his sweeping career step by step, sweeping the floor in Jiuwang Mountain is indeed not a beautiful thing, it can even be said to be a little lowly, not to mention that the inner disciples sweep the floor, it is even more shameful, if it is not for the person with a strong enough heart, I am afraid that he will not be able to stand this kind of gap from heaven to earth for a long time. However, during this period, Qin Mu's heart has also grown more sufficiently, and there is a little more low-key between honor and disgrace, and there is less blood and evil on the surface, so that he can better control his emotions.
This is his only harvest in more than a year, and it is also the biggest gain, a person who has just reached the age of twenty has such a state of mind cultivation, it can indeed be regarded as one in a million. In time, if he is given enough time, he has the confidence to raise his spiritual cultivation to the twelfth layer in one fell swoop, which is also in line with the old saying: The fragrance of plum blossoms comes from the bitter cold.
