They Are Not You

Chapter 991 They Are Not You

Qin Mu looked at the endless graves and felt a weird feeling in his heart.

As he walked along, the thirty-three levels of Wuyou Township seemed like three different worlds. The old ministers of Kaihuang were complaining and giving up on themselves, while the new generation was indulging in pleasure and living a life of debauchery.

However, the Qin family fought hard and shed their blood for the peace of Wuyou Township.

This is too absurd.

"Wuyou Township has become deformed, or rather, Wuyou Township has split." Qin Mu sighed in his heart.

A torn Worry-Free Town, where the older generation's faith collapses because they abandoned the people they swore to protect, while the new generation is immersed in a carefree life where whatever they want is what they get.

The Qin family felt guilty towards their people and the older generation, yet they also had to protect the glory of Kaihuang and maintain the peace of Wuyou Township, so they defended Wuyou Township with acts that were almost self-mutilating.

"You don't let me go back to Wuyou Township because you're worried that I'll end up like the Qin ancestors buried here?"

Qin Mu shook his head. In fact, the Wuyou Township in his heart had already collapsed and disintegrated and no longer existed. He just felt that the sacrifices made by the Qin family's ancestors to protect Wuyou Township and safeguard the glory of Kaihuang were not worth it.

"Back then, it was Kaihuang who divided half of the other side of the world and opened up the Worry-Free Township, which offended the Creator. Now, it was also the son of the Qin family who established the Other Side of the Netherworld, allowing the two races to return to peace."

Qin Mu said to Qin Hanzhen: "From now on, the descendants of the Qin family will no longer have to fight the Creator to protect the glory of Kaihuang."

Qin Hanzhen shook his head, walked forward, and said: "In the future, the descendants of the Qin family will still fight for the glory of Kaihuang and for future wars. Wuyou Township is like this, but if you leave Wuyou Township, isn't the outside world another Wuyou Township?"

Qin Mu followed Qin Hanzhen forward, passing by graves one after another, his heart was peaceful and ethereal. The death of generations of ancestors and the war with the Creator made him want to laugh but couldn't, and want to cry but couldn't.

He could only shake his head.

Ever since he was old enough to understand, he has been searching for the worry-free land, but to his end it was just a flower in the fog and a moon in the water.

If you are not in his position, it is difficult to understand his mood and state of mind at the moment.

The Prince Zhen's Palace was almost here. The tombs ahead were gradually becoming fewer and fewer, and some young men and women were practicing hard.

They should be the younger generation of the Qin family, about the same age as Qin Mu. Some are older than Qin Mu, but not much older, and some are younger than Qin Mu.

There are not many descendants of the Qin family, only a dozen or so. They train more diligently than people from other places in Wuyou Township, almost like ascetic monks, honing their bodies, polishing their vitality, and condensing their spiritual consciousness.

Nowadays, many young people in Wuyou Township focus on pleasure, and it is rare to see people practicing so hard.

Qin Mu stopped to watch and asked Qin Hanzhen, "Are these the only ones left in the Qin family?"

Qin Hanzhen nodded and said, "These are all that's left. Descendants of the imperial family, after a hundred generations, who will still think you are a royal family member? Only you think so in your heart, and only you still hold on to this pride. If you don't work hard, you will die miserably when the Creator attacks. We were relieved only after Feng Qing came back."

Qin Mu looked at her for a moment, then Qin Hanzhen called a little girl over and said, "Siying, this is your cousin."

The girl was sweating all over. She circulated her vital energy to evaporate the sweat. She looked at Qin Mu curiously and said with a smile, "He is obviously the Holy Infant of the Creator Clan. He is very fierce and scared many people to tears! I was also scared to tears at that time."

Qin Mu smiled, took out a drop of Hongmeng Yuanye, visualized a pearl, sealed the Hongmeng Yuanye inside, gave it to her, and said with a smile: "Hang it around your neck, it will be very beneficial for your daily practice."

The girl accepted it and ran out to practice again.

"Siying is the youngest in the Qin family. She is your uncle's posthumous child. She is not even ten years old yet. I am the one teaching her now."

Qin Hanzhen said, "Let's go home. I'll take you to the ancestral temple to worship our ancestors."

Qin Mu nodded. The Zhen Palace was not very big, and it did not have the extravagance of Long Biantian, but the ancestral hall was not small. Princess Zhen and Shujun were waiting outside. Qin Hanzhen led Qin Mu in, and saw that the tablets were neatly placed, piled together like a large-scale altar.

It's very solemn here, and the atmosphere is heavy.

Qin Mu followed Qin Hanzhen, kowtowed and burned incense.

Qin Hanzhen took out the Qin family genealogy and asked, "Do you want to add your name?"

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and shook his head: "I am going to open the emperor. Before opening the emperor, I cannot be on the family tree. After opening the emperor, I cannot appear on the family tree either."

Qin Hanzhen was stunned.

To open the emperor is to fight the ancestor of the Qin family. Qin Mu cannot fight him using his identity as the 107th generation grandson, as that would be treasonous.

After the battle of Kaihuang, Qin Mu was considered a person who betrayed his teacher and ancestors. He should not appear in the family tree. He should be expelled from the family tree for both moral and legal reasons.

"Do you really have to go this far?"

Qin Hanzhen couldn't help but said, "After this fight, you will never be able to enter the Qin family's ancestral hall again! After you die, your grave cannot be placed in the ancestral tomb. You will become a lonely ghost, and no one in the Qin family will worship you!"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Without Kaihuang, Worry-Free Township will not wake up. Kaihuang also wants me to beat him and drive him out of this Worry-Free Township. I can't let him down."

He smiled and said, "I am a catfish that Emperor Kaihuang voluntarily put in Wuyou Township. He didn't want me to muddy the water, but to revive the stagnant water, let those disappointed fish start to swim, and let those drunken fish wake up. I must do my duty as a catfish."

Qin Hanzhen was silent, and said: "Kaihuang is extremely terrifying."

"I know. I have seen the traces left by his duel with Huo Tianzun in Taixu Land. Huo Tianzun's cultivation is stronger than his, but he was still injured by his sword."

Qin Mu said: "Among the ten celestial masters in the heavenly court, although Fire Lord is not the strongest, he is not the weakest either. He was able to force Fire Lord to leave the mark of the Great Dao and get injured. Kaihuang's strength is above my expectation."

Qin Hanzhen said: "His strength is not limited to swordsmanship. Although swordsmanship is the strongest, his magical powers are not inferior to swordsmanship."

Qin Mu nodded and said, "When I met him in the early years of Long Han, he was an expert in both swordsmanship and magical powers. When I offended Madam Yuanmu and severely injured Lord Hao Tian, ​​he used his magical powers to break through the siege and save me. His magical powers were amazing."

Qin Hanzhen was silent for a moment, then said, "I can't keep you here, go ahead."

Qin Mu bowed, then turned and walked out of the ancestral hall.

The sunlight outside was glaring, so Qin Mu raised his hand to block it out and looked back. The Qin family’s ancestral hall was solemn and majestic, where all the ancestors were enshrined. However, he would never be able to enter here again.

He greeted Princess Zhen, bowed to her, and walked out of the Zhen Palace with Shujun.

Princess Zhen looked at his back, opened her mouth, but no sound came out. Qin Hanzhen came to her side and stood with her. Princess Zhen leaned weakly on his shoulder.

"Mu'er probably won't come back again." She said softly.

Qin Mu looked at the Qin family members who were practicing hard outside and passed by them.

"Cousin——" The little girl named Qin Siying waved at him.

Qin Mu waved from afar. This place had the warmth of home, but he couldn't stay here.

He took Shujun away, and passed by the ancestral tombs. Qin Mu pinched a handful of soil and solemnly put it into the Qin Continent.

Shujun was puzzled, and Qin Mu smiled and said, "If I die in the future, I cannot be buried here, but there must be soil from my hometown on my grave."

They came to the thirty-third heaven, which is also the location of the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace.

Many civil and military officials of the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace had arrived here before him, quietly waiting for this battle between the Heavenly Lords. The huge flesh and blood bodies of the gods stood in various places in the Heavenly Palace, quietly watching Qin Mu walk into the South Gate of Heaven, walk into the majestic and solemn palaces and temples, pass through the Heavenly Street, pass the Yaotai and Yaochi, and walk towards the Yujing City.

The layout of Kaihuang Heavenly Palace is also similar to that of Longhan Heavenly Palace, but it is simpler than Longhan Heavenly Palace and its territory is not as vast. However, in terms of luxury, it is even more luxurious.

After all, this is Worry-Free Land, part of the other world. Visualizing creation here is countless times easier than in other places.

Qin Mu did not use any magical powers and walked forward step by step. Although the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace was not vast, it took a very long time to walk forward step by step.

However, he was like a devout seeker of truth, measuring step by step. What he measured was not the Kaihuang Heaven, but the right and wrong in his own heart.

There is no other creator here except Shujun, because this is a matter between the two Heavenly Lords. The creator will not interfere in matters that have nothing to do with them, and there is no need to witness the victory or defeat between the two Heavenly Lords.

The only ones here were the old ministers of Kaihuang, the Taoist master of Kaihuang Su Maiqing, the guardian of the sun Yan Ri Nuan, the four assistants Fang Youji, Gao Baixun, Zhou Jingmeng, Zhou Xunfang, as well as the three dukes, six ministries and nine officials and other old gods, all of whom were watching Qin Mu walk towards Yujing City.

They showed anticipation and were ready to go. Yan Rinuan was still sharpening his sword, and the rust was gradually fading away.

In addition to them, there are also new gods. They are in Yujing City, which is the most magnificent city. They are also looking at Qin Mu who is coming. Some of them are gloating, some are ready to make a move, and some are whistling.

Qin Mu turned a blind eye and turned a deaf ear to it.

Qin Hanzhen and Princess Zhen also brought the few Qin family members to Yujing. They watched Qin Mu with complicated expressions as he crossed the streets of Yujing City and came from Zhuque Gate to Chengtian Gate.

The Chengtian Gate stands tall, and in front of it is the Lingxiao Hall of the Miluo Palace and the Huangji Hall, symbolizing the unparalleled authority of the Emperor of Heaven.

At Chengtian Gate, Qin Mu stopped, turned around, bowed to Shujun and said, "God King, please stay."

Shu Jun returned the greeting, stopped, stood at the foot of Chengtian Gate, and watched him climb the stairs one by one and walk towards the Lingxiao Palace.

Qin Mu moved forward step by step. After an unknown amount of time, he finally arrived in front of Lingxiao Palace.

In the Lingxiao Palace, an emperor was sitting on the throne. When he saw him coming, he stood up.

Kaihuang took off his imperial robe, folded it neatly and placed it on the throne. He then took off the imperial crown on his head and placed it on the robe.

He raised the Wuyou Sword at his waist, and with a clang, the Wuyou Sword came out of its sheath. He gently waved the sheath and inserted it into the pillar of Lingxiao Palace.

The sword shines brightly, illuminating the sky, and sword shadows flicker all over the hall.

He looked at Qin Mu who walked into Lingxiao Palace, and waited quietly for Qin Mu's arrival. His figure stood there, giving people a sense of eternity and unwavering Taoism.

Despite the passage of time, his original intention remains unchanged.

Qin Mu came in front of him and smiled: "Qin Kai, long time no see."

Kaihuang also smiled: "Muqing, I haven't seen this in a million years. What did you see along the way from Taihuangtian?"

"I saw your heavenly decay."

Qin Mu took out the sword pill and shook it gently. The sword pill turned into a magic sword in his hand and rang. Qin Mu flicked the sword, and the tip and body of the sword kept vibrating. He said leisurely: "Your original intention of migrating to Wuyou Township was good, but only you can stick to your original intention. Your old subordinates can't bear the failure and fall into the pain and sadness of the collapse of their Tao heart. They can't carry the same burden as you, and they can only blame you and hate you. They are not you."

Kaihuang nodded: "I was the one who overruled the opposition and wanted to move to Wuyou Township. The blame lies with me. What else did you see?"

Qin Mu said: "I also saw that your Kaihuang Reform had failed and people's hearts were broken. When you decided to move to Wuyou Township, the Kaihuang Reform had already failed, and only some superficial things remained."

Kaihuang nodded: "In the Kaihuang era, the foundation of the country was to use gods for human beings. I abandoned the foundation of the country and let the Kaihuang gods fail to protect the people and all living beings, so that the reform was interrupted. The blame is mine. What did you see?"

Qin Mu said: "I see that the new generation has no spirit of reform. They are content with a corner and indulge in lust. They have no blood, no fighting spirit, and no pioneering spirit. There is a deep gap between the new and old generations. They are not you."

Kaihuang said: "The blame is mine."

"I also saw the bloodline of the Qin family die for your decision back then, generation after generation."

Qin Mu said sadly: "They are not you, they cannot grow into another Kaihuang, they can only use their own lives to make up for your mistakes."

Kaihuang said sadly: "The blame is mine."

"I also saw that you wanted to leave, but you couldn't. Only Kaihuang could leave, but everyone in Wuyou Township couldn't leave. They couldn't leave Wuyou Township, and you were burdened by them, so you couldn't leave Wuyou Township either."

Qin Mu shook his wrist and made a sword flower. Then he lowered the tip of the sword diagonally, pointing at the ground, and said calmly: "Qin Kai, let me shatter the worry-free world in your heart."

Boom——

The Lingxiao Hall of the Miluo Palace in the Kaihuang Heavenly Palace was torn into pieces. The huge building slid down at an angle, collapsed all the way down the stairs, the pillars and boulders rolled, and the carved beams and painted buildings were smashed to pieces in the dust!

On the Lingxiao Terrace, the tip of the Kaihuang Sword pointed diagonally at the ground, and he smiled and said, "Mu Qing, I have been waiting for you for a long time. Please——"

Qin Mu's pupils shrank suddenly: "Please."

————Three thousand nine hundred words, almost four thousand, is it considered a long chapter?
