The Heroic Spirit of Heaven and Earth Remains Awe-Inspiring for Thousands of Years

Chapter 989: The heroic spirit of heaven and earth, still awe-inspiring for thousands of years

The old man looked up and rolled his eyes at him, sneering, "In ancient times, there were righteous men who died to advise the emperor and carried his coffin to court. The emperor is stupid, so why can't I burn paper for him? I will! I have been burning for 20,000 years, so that he can make it to Youdu and become the richest man after his death!"

Shujun laughed and joked: "If you want to be a righteous man, you can burn paper for Kaihuang Qinye in front of him. Why do you have to burn paper in this poor and remote place? Who are you burning for? You are not a righteous man."

The old man sat down on the ground dejectedly, muttering, "That's right, I'm not a righteous man. If I were a righteous man, I would have carried my coffin to the court 20,000 years ago and died to persuade the emperor. My coffin is already ready, but unfortunately I was timid and didn't dare to carry it to the court..."

He waved his sleeves, and a black coffin flew out. It should be the coffin he made that year. He planned to carry the coffin to the court to persuade the emperor to die.

Shujun looked at the black coffin and saw that it was shiny and glossy, which must be the result of frequent stroking. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "You old man, you have polished this coffin until it is shiny. It shows that you are also a person who is indecisive and indecisive."

The old man got furious and wanted to explode, but then he thought again and realized that it was indeed true.

He didn't dare to carry the coffin to court. He faced the coffin all day long, touching it again and again, but he still couldn't make up his mind. Wasn't it polished to a shiny finish?

Shujun was about to make some more mockery but was stopped by Qin Mu.

"What is your name, elder?" Qin Mu asked.

The old man said listlessly, "Kaihuang Tianting, Sifu Shaobao, Fang Youji, is now the gravekeeper of Qingming Festival, which means he is in charge of looking after the grave."

Qin Mu said: "As a junior protector and a high-ranking official, why are you so depressed that you have to look at the grave?"

Fang Youji stood up and said, "You are Mu Tianzun, whatever you say is right. I am not very good at swordsmanship, I only know supernatural powers. I use supernatural powers to simulate swordsmanship. This sword is called the Qingming Jiexin Sword!"

He used his magical power to perform sword skills, and suddenly the sky was filled with drizzle, and there was a bleak and desolate sound. Although he was using magical power to imitate, Qin Mu could see the sword art contained in this sword.

Kaihuang created this style of swordsmanship with the purpose of sharpening one's heart of calamity. In the sorrow of the deaths of peers and comrades, in remembrance of the grief of ancestors, he used the past to shape the present, in order to sharpen his own heart of Taoism, and also to test the heart of his opponent.

This sword requires a very high heart of Tao. If one's heart of Tao is not stable when facing it, one will be defeated by him.

Shao Bao Fang Youji performed it once and said, "I used my magical power to imitate his third sword. After all, it is a magical power and cannot fully display the mystery of his swordsmanship. If Mu Tianzun can't see the mystery, I can perform it a few more times."

Qin Mu closed his eyes, then opened them and said with a smile, "It's no longer necessary."

Fang Youji squatted down again, burned paper for the nameless grave, and said: "Mu Tianzun can go to Xuantai Heaven. The one guarding Xuantai Heaven is the second of the four assistants, Junior Assistant Gao Baixun."

Qin Mu thanked him and left with Shu Jun, but did not go to Qingming Academy to study.

Shujun looked back and saw that the old man was still burning paper, but he no longer cried about how tragically Qin Ye died. Instead, he sat by the fire with a smile on his face, his face red from the flames.

"This young protector of Kaihuang seems to be eager for you to defeat Kaihuang."

Shu Jun was puzzled and said, "This old guy is really a traitor, and he is enjoying it so much. Shengying, I know why you have to walk around. It turns out that there are so many masters under Kaihuang to teach you."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "An old horse in the stable still has ambitions to run a thousand miles. A martyr in his old age still has ambitions. Kaihuang led his army of gods and demons to hide in Wuyou Township, but not everyone was willing. The ambitious people did not want me to defeat Kaihuang, but just wanted to use me to inspire Kaihuang and arouse the ambitions of this former leader."

He said quietly, "In fact, they also hope to arouse their own ambitions. When the mighty dragon curls up in a small mud puddle and looks up at the sky, it thinks of itself tumbling in the clouds, not rolling in the mud."

"I think you're talking about me."

Shujun laughed and said, "I am the dragon you mentioned!"

Qin Mu laughed loudly. The two of them climbed up to Xuantai Heaven. There was a dense forest in front of them. Someone was teaching in the forest. His voice was loud and clear, saying, "Love for all is called benevolence. Doing what is appropriate is called righteousness. Following this is called the Way. What do you mean by this?"

"Love is benevolence, practicing benevolence and realizing benevolence is righteousness, and moving forward along the path of benevolence and righteousness and constantly practicing it is the Tao. This sentence means to study things to gain knowledge and then practice what you know."

"Knowing and then doing it, combining knowledge and action, is enlightenment. Knowing but not doing is enlightenment!"

Qin Mu and Shu Jun walked forward and saw a teacher wearing a tall hat, holding a book in one hand and a ruler in the other, lecturing passionately.

His students were a group of monkeys, wearing clothes. Some of them squatted on the ground scratching their ears, while others sat on trees catching lice for another monkey. They were lively and active and rarely quiet.

When the monkeys saw Qin Mu and the other two coming, they hurriedly took off their clothes and fled in all directions, leaving their scattered clothes everywhere.

The teacher was furious and shouted, "Integrity! Where is your integrity? You scum, you run away when you see the enemy! Hey!"

His eyes were wide open as he pounced towards Qin Mu, the ruler in his hand flying as he performed an extremely exquisite sword technique. Every time the ruler moved, it became a Xuantai Zhentian Sword, pressing down directly towards Qin Mu!

"Others are afraid of you, but I, Gao Baixun, am not!"

Shujun tried to resist but was stopped by Qin Mu. The teacher Gao Baixun waved his ruler and used the Xuantai Zhentian Sword. He turned around and left, shouting, "The enemy is too strong and I have to take the initiative to fight. I am just imitating Kaihuang and running away!" After that, he fled into the forest on his wooden shoes.

Shujun was stunned.

Gao Baixun poked his head out again and shouted, "I am no match for you. I won't tell you that Master Zhou Jingmeng is waiting for you in Yuan Mingtian to avenge me!"

Qin Mu asked quickly: "How will Yuan Mingtian go?"

Gao Baixun raised his hand and pointed, full of integrity, and said righteously: "I swear to my death that I will never tell you where Yuan Mingtian's path is!"

"Thank you." Qin Mu bowed and thanked him, then walked over there with Shu Jun.

Shujun followed him with one foot high and one foot low. Looking back, he saw Kaihuang's assistant Gao Baixun calling the monkeys out of the woods again. The monkeys put on their clothes and tall hats with reluctance and listened to his passionate teaching.

"What a weirdo." Shujun shook his head.

"They have to blame themselves. Their ambitions cannot be realized, their Tao cannot continue to move forward, benevolence and righteousness are not practiced, and their Tao hearts are scattered."

Qin Mu said: "To study things, to know, to practice what you know, to make knowledge and practice one. But now they cannot make knowledge and practice one. They know but cannot practice. You can imagine how much impact this has on their Tao heart."

They came to Yuan Mingtian and met Yuan Mingtian's Taifu Zhou Jingmeng. As expected, Taifu Zhou Jingmeng was waiting for them with murderous intent, threatening to avenge Shao Fu Gao Baixun and not let Mu Tianzun set foot in Yuan Mingtian.

"Or you can just step over my dead body!" Taifu Zhou Jingmeng, with white hair, shouted righteously.

After he performed Yuan Mingwen's sword-raising move, he fell straight down. Shu Jun stepped over his "corpse". The old man cursed angrily, "Are you really going to step on it?"

Qin Mu bowed to express his gratitude and walked aside.

The spirit of Zhou Jingmeng's "corpse" emerged and shouted, "My elder brother Zhou Xunfang will avenge me in Qiyaotian, just wait for me!"

Shujun didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and turned around to ask, "How do I get to Qiyaotian?"

"there!"

Zhou Jingmeng's soul raised his hand and pointed, shouting, "Go ahead if you have the guts!"

Qin Mu and Shu Jun came to Qiyao Heaven and paid a visit to Zhou Xunfang, who was willing to die for Kaihuang. Zhou Xunfang expressed his determination by dying, and his death was even more tragic than Zhou Jingmeng's. Before he died, he told them that the three dukes of Kaihuang Heaven were waiting for them in the following heavens.

Along the way, two months passed quickly. Qin Mu and Shu Jun passed through the Xuwu Heaven, Taiji Heaven, Chiming Heaven, Xuanming Heaven, Yaoming Heaven and other heavens without realizing it, and were getting closer and closer to the top of the thirty-three heavens.

On this day, Qin Mu came to the Supreme Heaven. As soon as he entered the Supreme Heaven, he heard Huihui's laughter. He saw a donkey running over quickly, with a fishing rod tied to its head and a carrot hanging on the fishing rod. It came to Qin Mu at a high speed and stopped suddenly. Huihui laughed and said, "Hey, isn't this Mu Tianzun? Why don't you recognize me?"

The donkey stood up, and put one of its strong forearms on Qin Mu's shoulders and the other on Shu Jun's shoulders, squeezing the two of them. Its flesh lumps appeared all over its body, and it laughed proudly, "I, Lu Zheng, we've been through thick and thin together! I'll tell you a secret, this Supreme Heaven is the territory of my old man, Xi Tianshi, and she's been waiting for you for a long time!"

The donkey carried the two people and walked forward, muttering: "The master said that Wuyou Township and the Creator are at peace and no longer fighting. This is a happy event and we should celebrate. These days, I am practicing singing and dancing with some beautiful girls. It is really bold and called eternal peace. It looks good, really good..."

Shujun had his head clamped by him, his feet off the ground. He struggled a few times but couldn't break free, and he was horrified.

He urged his spiritual power, but his spiritual power was unable to penetrate the donkey's mind. He was even more horrified: "This donkey is so powerful!"

Qin Mu whispered, "No need to resist. This donkey is a powerful warrior in the Lingxiao realm, and is no less powerful than the Lord of the Heavens just now!"

Shujun had no choice but to give up resisting and wanted to speak, but the donkey kept talking and laughing, and braying from time to time, so he couldn't get a word in.

Qin Mu had long been accustomed to Lu Zheng's temper. He knew that this donkey was used to arguing. If he started a conversation with him, he would definitely be suffocated to death. So he immediately shut up and let him lead him forward.

Lu Zheng brought them to the divine city of the Supreme Heaven, only to see that the divine city was magnificent and resplendent, with countless singing girls and dancers dancing happily, their skirts fluttering and their colorful sleeves floating, it was extremely gorgeous. On the left, hundreds of goddesses were playing flute music, on the right, hundreds of goddesses were playing the harp, above, hundreds of goddesses were striking bells and chimes, and below, hundreds of goddesses were beating drums and playing the sheng.

The girls flew in the sky, danced on the ground, and flowed in a crisscross pattern with graceful and moving postures. Their singing was even more melodious, praising the greatness, wisdom and bravery of Emperor Kaihuang.

Yan Yunxi was dressed in men's clothes, sitting on the city wall enjoying the singing and dancing. She was so happy that she danced and clapped her hands. The priests accompanying her below were also singing her praises and flattering her.

Lu Zheng took the two men upstairs and put them down.

Yan Yunxi looked around and said with a smile, "Master Mu, what do you think of this song and dance? Is it gorgeous? After the establishment of the Nether City on the Other Shore, I plan to take these girls to the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace and perform it for the civil and military officials of the Heavenly Palace to sing praises of the great achievements of the Kaihuang."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "The beauty of the dance is dazzling, and the wonderful singing is touching."

Yan Yunxi clapped her hands and laughed, glanced at him, and said, "What a pity, you don't know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is, and you actually want to challenge Kaihuang. You don't know that Kaihuang is the number one swordsman, and how high his achievements in swordsmanship are! I'll scare you to death, Kaihuang is already comprehending the 20th sword style, I just performed your 19th sword style in front of him, and he immediately comprehended the 20th sword style."

She stood up and said proudly: "Kaihuang is born wise and wise, and has unparalleled divine power! So, you should give up this rebellious idea. However, you will definitely not agree, right? So, let me defeat you with Kaihuang's swordsmanship!"

She spread her sleeves and shouted, "Everyone, step back! I will use Kaihuang's swordsmanship to let Mu Tianzun know what the sky is high and the earth is thick!"

The singing and dancing stopped, and the dancers and singers left one after another.

Yan Yunxi drew her sword and looked at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu was stunned and said in a lost voice: "Even you..."
