Deep in the Peach Blossoms

Chapter 1041 Peach Blossom Depths

Inside the hall, Yue Tianzun was still behind the screen and did not show up. He said through the screen: "How do you know that I can monitor any movement of the various heavens in the metaverse? I am now a useless person, and I am as disheartened as death. Even if I have this ability, I don't have the energy to monitor the movement of the various heavens and the metaverse."

Qin Mu looked at the shadow on the screen and said, "Really?"

The woman behind the screen sighed, "Of course it's fake. When you went to heaven, I asked the Southern Emperor Suzaku to bring my peach blossoms to show my attitude. The Southern Emperor also told me that he was going to use death to escape this time. Of course, I can't really live in seclusion and no longer care about worldly affairs."

Qin Mu said: "If the Heavenly Venerable really no longer cares about worldly affairs, then your peach forest will not be connected to tens of thousands of heavens in the Yuanjie."

"Indeed. My magical power is the art of space. I had already laid out the plan long before Yun Tianzun died in battle. At that time, my ability was not very strong, and my art of space had not yet reached its peak. My art of space could only connect more than ten heavens."

Yue Tianzun behind the screen said: "However, by the end of the Longhan era, my peach forest had connected more than a hundred heavens. By the end of the Shanghuang era, the peach forest had connected tens of thousands of heavens in the Yuanjie. Although I am a cripple, today, whether it is the Heavenly Court, Xuandu, Youdu, or even the Four Extreme Heavens, they are all within my magical insight. What I have not broken through is the forbidden area and Guixu formed by the birthplace of the ancient gods."

Qin Mu said: "You are unwilling."

"I'm naturally unwilling to accept this."

Yue Tianzun's voice was very calm, but underneath the calm surface was a deep resentment: "The five elders of the Heavenly Alliance were formed to allow the human race to gain the right to survive and to allow people to live better. However, the Heavenly Alliance has become corrupt, and the purpose of establishing the Heavenly Alliance has long since disappeared. The Heavenly Alliance has become a place where filth and dirt are hidden, and a place where demigods, ancient gods, and even the Creator divide up interests! Naturally, I am unwilling to accept this."

Qin Mu looked at the shadow on the screen quietly. Yue Tianzun continued, "When the Tianmeng was first established, Yun Tianzun established the first principle of the Tianmeng, which is not to be too good to bad people and too bad to good people. However, it is so difficult to implement. People are always too harsh on good people, thinking that good people cannot make any mistakes. If they make mistakes, they are no longer good people, and they will be doomed. They will be defeated and trampled under their feet. People are too good to bad people. Bad people have done thousands of bad things, but as long as they do one good thing, they will be praised and praised as saints! Mu Tianzun, we didn't do it, can you do it?"

Qin Mu pondered and said, "It's difficult. But I'm trying. There was once a man who did many evil things. In order to resist Yankang, he did not hesitate to poison the grassland, killing 90% of the people on the grassland. Later, when Yankang was robbed, he found his conscience and died to save people. Although I have the ability to revive him or summon his soul for him, I did not revive him because I felt that if I resurrected him, he would not be able to face the people who died on the grassland."

"Then how should you face the ancient gods?" asked Yue Tianzun.

Qin Mu was shocked.

Yue Tianzun's words truly shook his soul.

The bad guy he was talking about was Da Zun. Da Zun used voodoo to poison most of the herdsmen on the grassland. His crime was unforgivable. Even if he did a good thing, Qin Mu could not forget his cruelty.

But what about the ancient gods?

In the Longhan era and even in the dark days before that, the ancient gods fed on afterlife creatures and took all living beings as sacrifices. Now Qin Mu needs their strength and joins forces with them to fight against the Heavenly Court. It can be said that the ancient gods are doing good things.

Can the ancient gods be pardoned for this?

Don't be too bad to good people, and don't be too good to bad people. This sentence is simple to say, but this simple principle is so difficult to follow!

"Sympathy is extremely cheap, but criticism is also shameful."

Yue Tianzun's voice came from behind the screen, saying, "I have found the three people you mentioned. They are in Yuhuatian, and are planning to steal the lair of Meng Yungui, the second of the four great celestial masters in heaven. I will bring them here."

The Yuanjie Yuhuatian.

This world is the ancestral land of Master Meng Tianshi. He started out from Yuhuatian and rose rapidly all the way to become the second master of heaven. He is one of the few powerful emperors in the world.

After gaining power, Master Meng began to manage Yuhuatian, plundering financial resources from other heavens and sending them to Yuhuatian. This master had no other hobbies but love of money, so Yuhuatian was also extremely wealthy, and some even said that his wealth was greater than that of the Ten Heavenly Lords.

However, this Heavenly Master is proficient in formations and is the best in formations in the Heavenly Court. His wealth is guarded by various killing formations and is extremely strict.

At this time, the Lame Man and Master Ma had already sneaked into Master Meng's treasure house, and next to them was a loyal and honest young man, who was Lan Yutian.

The lame man always liked to be alone in the past, but ever since Granny Si picked up Qin Mu by the river, he began to like taking care of children. Granny Si was annoyed by little Qin Mu wetting the bed, so she gave little Qin Mu away, and he would steal little Qin Mu back every time.

Later, when he returned to the martial arts world, the blind man, the mute, the pharmacist and others had countless things to do and no one was with him. Qin Mu also did not come back often. It was boring for him to run around robbing tombs and visiting other heavens by himself.

Suddenly one day, the lame man remembered that Qin Mu had a younger brother, Lan Yutian, so he ran to Youdu and stole Lan Yutian out.

It happened that Master Ma resigned from Tathagata and left Mount Xumi, so the lame man asked this former great detective to teach him his skills, under the pretext that they wanted to make progress together.

Master Ma couldn't save his face, but was also worried about the safety of him and Lan Yutian, so he had to follow them and help them clean up the mess.

"Master Meng's formation is indeed amazing. His formation is not only a killing formation, but also can make intruders leave traces. For example, in this formation, these mirrors are used to record images. Anyone who breaks into it will be recorded by these mirrors."

Master Ma looked around, his eyes fell on the book in the formation again, and said: "That book is similar to the Book of Life and Death, and it is integrated with the mirror. As long as you take a picture, the book will find the identity of the thief based on the image. There is a sound insect in the book that imitates the voice of the thief... And the jade box over there, there is no treasure in it, it is a trap..."

The lame man was full of admiration and said to Yu Tianzun: "Little bastard, learn from me. This is a real skill!"

Lan Yutian nodded repeatedly and took note of Ma Ye's words carefully.

Lame Man and Lan Yutian were just about to take action when suddenly the space changed. The three were startled and looked around, only to see peach trees everywhere with peach blossoms in full bloom. The strange thing was that the peach blossoms were in full bloom around them, obviously it was early spring, while the peaches next to them were ripe, it was summer!

"Two masters, and young master, the Lord wants to see you." A maid came over and said softly.

The cripple's face was as pale as dirt: "Master Ma, I'm in trouble! If I'm caught by the Heavenly Lord, they will probably cut off my legs, cut me into a human stick like the village chief, and plant it in a jar, so that I can never run away again!"

Master Ma looked around and said, "This looks like Yue Tianzun's peach forest. Mu'er mentioned this place before. Let's go over and take a look. Don't make a fuss. The reason I was able to catch you before was because you were always careless and your Tao heart was not firm."

They followed the maid forward, but saw Long Qilin and a weak girl waiting outside the palace. Lan Yutian cheered and ran forward. Yan'er seemed to have just cried and didn't feed him, but waited quietly outside the palace.

"Fatty Long, what happened to Sister Yan'er?" Lan Yutian asked.

Long Qilin sighed and said, "The leader invites you to come over. You go in first."

Lan Yutian became more and more surprised and followed the Lame Man and Master Ma into the palace.

Inside the palace, Qin Mu took out a mirror and showed it to Master Ma and the cripple, saying, "The palace in the mirror is a reflection of the Pixiang Palace. There are talismans imprinted on it, which are the talismans and runes of the Pixiang Palace, as well as various seals. This Pixiang Palace is a treasure used by the Heavenly Court to suppress souls. There are many talismans and seals on it. I need an expert to break the talismans and seals, enter it, and steal the souls suppressed there."

He tapped the mirror lightly, and the space in the mirror expanded outwards. The Pixiang Hall in the mirror was actually projected into this hall, standing in front of everyone. The various talismans sealed around this bronze hall were mirror images when they were in the mirror, but returned to normal when they were outside.

Lan Yutian praised: "Brother's painting skills have become even better!"

Qin Mu said: "The last remnant of your soul is also hidden in this hall. Grandpa Lame, do you have a way to enter this hall?"

The lame man looked solemnly as he sized up the talismans. He walked around the bronze hall and muttered, "Great, amazing... This is the most difficult and terrifying restriction I have ever encountered in my life... The pinnacle of my life..."

Qin Mu looked at Master Ma, who shook his head and said, "I can't do it, but the cripple is an expert."

Lan Yutian also came forward and checked the talismans one by one. His expression was almost exactly the same as the lame man's.

Qin Mu frowned and thought to himself: "Yu Tianzun has been following Grandpa Lame for too long, and he has almost become another cripple. I'm afraid this blank sheet of paper will turn black..."

An old man and a young man carefully studied the seal and talismans of the Pixiang Hall, whispering to each other and having a heated discussion.

Qin Mu pondered for a moment and said, "Cripple Grandpa, you have plenty of time to study. You can take this mirror to Yankang and give it to Dumb Grandpa and Blind Grandpa. Ask them to build a replica of the Pixiang Hall according to the talismans, magic arrays, seals and restrictions on it. Then you can slowly crack it..."

Before he finished speaking, Lan Yutian started running excitedly, faster and faster. Suddenly, his figure turned into a series of afterimages and ran straight towards the phantom of the Pixiang Hall!

Qin Mu looked hurriedly, and saw Lan Yutian passing through the shadows of talismans as if he were walking into nothing. However, as he ran, it was as if he entered an extremely sticky mud. His body moved slower and slower, and finally he was fixed in the seal, motionless.

The lame man hurriedly ran towards him, pulled him out of the seal, shook his head and said, "This seal is too strong. Even if you run fast enough, you can't get through the seal and the talisman. You have to think of another way!"

Qin Mu tapped the mirror lightly, and the phantom of the Pixiang Hall was projected into the mirror. He said, "This matter is of great importance. After Grandpa Mute forged the Pixiang Hall, the talismans and seals on it also need to be restored as they are. When you try to enter the hall, you must be careful. Remember, remember!"

The lame man put away the mirror and said, "When I rescued Little Blue just now, I realized that this seal had countless spaces. We were blocked after entering the fourth seal. The seals behind it are probably even stronger. It's too difficult to get in!"

“We have to go in!”

Qin Mu said decisively: "This concerns our future, Grandpa Lame, I'll leave this matter to you!"

Seeing that he was serious, the lame man smiled and said, "As long as you run fast enough, there is no seal that is invincible. Mu'er, don't you want to come with us?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "I need to go back to the past and meet the Southern Emperor Suzaku. You go see the dumb grandfather first, and after I meet the Southern Emperor, I will go and train you and then make plans. Yue Tianzun, please send them to Yankang."

Master Ma came over and said sternly, "Mu'er, don't force yourself."

Qin Mu's eyes were slightly red, and he quickly hugged him to hide it. He smiled and said, "Why would I force myself? Master Ma, you and Grandpa Lame also need to work hard to practice. In my Heavenly Palace, there are also Buddha and Taoism Heavenly Palaces and Thieves Heavenly Palaces. Buddha has his own way, and thieves have their own way. I am waiting for you to cultivate these two Heavenly Palaces and teach them to me, so that I can make further progress."

Master Ma smiled and said, "To become a Buddha, one must be in one's nature. Do not seek outside of oneself. Seeking outside is all vain. You are the Buddha, and you do not need to rely on others."

Qin Mu said: "Human power is limited, it is not a bad idea to use external appearances to prove oneself."

"Good."

"Good."

The two men separated, and Yue Tianzun behind the screen gently spread out his sleeves, and the Cripple, Ma Ye and Lan Yutian disappeared.

Qin Mu said to the woman behind the screen: "Venerable Yue, I must leave too."

Yue Tianzun asked, "Are you planning to go to the source of Yongjiang River? Do you need me to take you there?"

Qin Mu said: "I want to go back and take a look. Yongjiang is not far from here. I will go find a boat first."
