Sword of Law
Chapter 1416: The Sword of Law
“So-so.”
Qin Mu had just said something humble when the butcher hit him on the head. He could only say, "Last time I used the sword to enter the Dao, I figured out a move to knock on the South Heaven Gate, and then there was no movement."
The butcher glanced at him coldly, and Qin Mu suddenly felt as if he had been chopped by a knife, becoming a head shorter.
"You haven't made any progress in your swordsmanship, so you haven't made any progress in your swordsmanship either, right?"
The butcher sneered and said, "Medicine, painting, Buddhism, formation, thief, forging, none of them have made any progress, right?"
Qin Mu sincerely admired me and praised me: "Grandpa Tu has an unparalleled discerning eye. He saw my predicament at a glance!"
The butcher was about to fight, and Qin Mu quickly said, "But I have already comprehended the twenty-sixth level of magical power!"
"You have gained enlightenment from the innate way, right?"
The butcher resisted the urge to beat him up and said, "The innate way is the way that countless elites have worked hard on throughout the ages. The Ten Heavenly Lords of Heaven and the Dao Sect have all studied the innate way and analyzed the ancient gods' great way. You only need to learn it, then you can use it, and then you can understand it thoroughly and enter the Dao. Even if you are from the ancestral temple, you can comprehend many magical powers and Dao methods. But why haven't you comprehended the deeper Dao of the sword, the Dao of the sword, and the Dao of the painting?"
Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Because the Way of the Sword and the Way of the Knife are acquired, they need to be created out of nothing, they need to be self-realized, and they need to be explored and sorted out by oneself."
"This is why even if you comprehend the Great Dao of the Ancient Gods, you cannot make further progress in swordplay, calligraphy and painting."
The butcher said, "Mu'er, you have been away from the secular world for too long. The acquired way originated in the secular world. Since you went to heaven, you have faced the majestic gods in the court, the gods in the heavens below the court, and the ten heavenly masters who are scheming against you. You can comprehend the third level of your sword in just a few years in the secular world, but you can no longer make progress after you go to heaven. Mu'er, you are already far away from the acquired way. I am not sure now whether you can still maintain the original intention of the young man in Daxu back then."
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows: "My heart is firm, I can't forget my original intention."
"really?"
The butcher drew his knife and was about to throw it to him, but stopped after thinking for a moment. He broke off a three-foot-long piece of iron from the side of the pleasure boat, stuffed it into his hand, and said, "Seal all your cultivation, the Heavenly Palace, and the God's Treasure, and turn back into a mortal. I will take you to see your original intention."
"It's no use."
Qin Mu let out a low shout, closed the Spirit Embryo Divine Storage, and sealed his soul inside the Divine Storage as well.
The butcher glanced at him and said, "You still have a body that has not been sealed."
Qin Mu's ten fingers flew, tapping various parts of his body, sealing all the orifices in his body. Suddenly, he felt his body was heavy, without any vitality in his body.
The butcher jumped out of the pleasure boat and said in a deep voice, "Take your knife and follow me."
Qin Mu jumped out of the pleasure boat and sank to the bottom of the river with a thud. After a while, he floated out from the surface of the river, started running wildly, and finally found the feeling of walking on the waves of the Yongjiang River.
Not long after, they arrived at the river bank. Qin Mu was about to mobilize his vital energy to drain the river water from his body, but then he remembered that he had no vital energy to use.
The butcher walked forward slowly, and Qin Mu tried his best to keep up with him. Gradually, he felt the flow of the wind again, and his body became lighter and lighter. Suddenly, he leaped into the air and walked on the tip of the wind.
The butcher came to a small city. Qin Mu looked around and thought this should be a new city in Jiangling. He had no memory of this city.
In recent years, Yankang has been changing with each passing day, with new cities appearing everywhere. If Qin Mu does not return to the capital of Yankang for three to five years, he will get lost.
"Mu'er, there is a bully in this city. Go and pick up a knife and kill him." The butcher suddenly said.
Qin Mu frowned slightly and said, "Grandpa Tu, the country has its own laws. Since he is a bully, let the government investigate. As the Imperial Master of Yankang, how can I kill people without authorization?"
The butcher raised his eyebrows, looked at him with disdain, and sneered: "Your original intention has changed. Where is the Qin Mu who was angry and broke the ban in Xianglong City and cut Fu Yueting in half with a knife? The country has the law, if the country's law is really omnipotent, then where are the bullies?"
Qin Mu shook his head and said, "This is just the courage of a common man. There is no law in Daxu, so it is eliminated with swords, but Yankang has a legal system..."
"The Way of the Sword is the courage of a common man!"
The butcher shouted angrily, "When you encounter injustice, you should settle it with one sword! Last year, Jiangling was going to build a new city. A bully had connections and annexed land. This place was originally a village with a population of 124. The bully bought the land and forced the villagers to move. Those who refused died, and 49 were injured. You said the law of the country. The villagers here went to Jiangling to sue the officials, but the bully sat in the government office, slammed the table and asked who sued him! Where is the law of the country? Those villagers who sued him were beaten to death. Where is the law of the country? Your law of the country doesn't cover this place!"
Qin Mu frowned and asked, "Why did the Jiangling government allow the bully to do harm?"
"Mu Tianzun, you are too close to the sky and too far from the earth. You have lost your original intention!"
The butcher sneered, "Your blood has run cold, and your knife has become blunt. You stand too high, and you can no longer see the darkness and filth in the dark corners of the mortal world. You are in a high position, commanding the general situation of the world, but you cannot see the common people. If you were the former Qin Mu, what would you do?"
Qin Mu shook the three-foot iron sheet in his hand, and walked towards the city. His blood surged up, and he said in a deep voice: "I can still awaken my blood. Who is this bully?"
The butcher walked behind him and said, "Wei Yong's son, Wei Qinghe."
Qin Mu stopped and looked sideways.
The butcher sneered, "What's wrong, Mu Tianzun? Did the son of Wei Yong stop you? Your knife is already rusty. You are no different from the Ten Tianzun. You have been floating in the sky for years, not in touch with the ground, not in contact with the mortal world, and you are dull. You are no longer worthy of using a knife. Go away, go back to your heaven, and be your Tianzun!"
Qin Mu's blood boiled and he was filled with murderous intent. Holding a three-foot iron sheet in his hand, he strode towards the downtown area of the city.
"Who is Wei Qinghe?" he stopped someone and asked.
"You don't even know Wei Qinghe?"
The man smiled and said, "That's the famous Lord Wei of Jiangling New City! Go forward, and you'll see the young man in red robe who is listening to music on Lanque Terrace."
Qin Mu walked forward and heard pleasant music. He saw singing girls singing, dancing girls dancing, and music girls playing stringed instruments in the jade buildings. Qin Mu looked up and saw a man in a red robe on the high platform, surrounded by people with supernatural powers playing with him, and the laughter was deafening.
Qin Mu walked forward and took steps to go upstairs. A supernatural being stopped him from going downstairs and said, "The master is listening to music upstairs. He has reserved the entire Lanque Terrace. Please go back."
Qin Mu leaned closer, his shoulder muscles tensed, and with a loud bang, the man with supernatural powers fell backwards and flew out, creating a big hole in the Lanque Terrace.
There were shouts from upstairs, and many people with supernatural powers looked down. Qin Mu snapped his fingers, and one by one the people with supernatural powers were blown up by his finger wind and crashed through the building with a bang.
Qin Mu walked up the stairs and suddenly heard the sound of a sword. He lightly tapped the flying sword of the supernatural being with a piece of iron. The flying sword in his hand was extremely sharp, while the piece of iron in his hand was just a piece of iron pressed from ordinary iron. However, when it touched the flying sword, the flying sword exploded instantly, but the piece of iron remained safe and sound.
He did not use any skills, but only the simplest technique.
Technique, method, and Tao.
These three are the steps for those with supernatural powers to learn and progress. First, they learn academic skills, sword skills, Taoism, knife skills, formation skills, and medical skills. After learning the skills to the extreme, they can learn the methods, sword skills, Taoism, knife skills, formation skills, and medical skills.
Only when the Dharma is fully mastered can one attain enlightenment.
The Tao cannot be learned, it can only be comprehended.
Qin Mu used the simplest sword technique taught by Canlao Village, while the opponent displayed the exquisite sword technique, which was the classic sword technique taught by Yankang, and even contained the shadow of several sword techniques created by Jiang Baigui and Qin Mu.
But Qin Mu had already reached the level of great skill without any effort. Although it was the simplest sword technique, it was extremely easy to break the opponent's exquisite sword technique.
He climbed onto the balcony and was met with dozens of sword lights. The men with Wei Qinghe jumped up one after another, shouting and cursing, and flew towards him with their swords, using Yankang's most exquisite sword techniques.
In Qin Mu's time, these sword techniques were rare in the world, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that they were sect-level sword techniques. However, now, everyone can learn them.
Qin Mu held the iron sheet in his hand and picked it up slowly and gently. He heard the sound of popping. He continued to walk forward without stopping. There were exploding flying swords all around him.
Suddenly, a divine light came towards him, and the red-robed man Wei Qinghe suddenly activated a divine sword, pointing it directly at Qin Mu's face!
Qin Mu raised the iron sheet and chopped it against the wind. Ding, a crisp sound was heard.
Wei Qinghe showed a look of joy, jumped up and shouted: "You, a poor man bribed by the lowly people, dared to assassinate me, but you don't know who my father is! My father loves me and gave me a sword to protect me a long time ago..."
There was not a single crack on the iron sheet in Qin Mu's hand, but the magic sword suddenly showed dense cracks, and then exploded with a bang, shattering all over the ground!
Wei Qinghe was horrified. Qin Mu walked up to him and asked, "Wei Qinghe, son of Wei Yong?"
Wei Qinghe hurriedly said: "Brother, you are still young, don't do anything reckless..."
laugh--
The iron sheet in Qin Mu's hand emitted a dazzling and stunning knife light. He raised his hand and slashed with the knife. A blood mark appeared from Wei Qinghe's left shoulder to his right ribs, and then his upper body slid down diagonally.
There was an uproar on the balcony. The singing girls, dancing girls and musicians fled in all directions. Wei Qinghe's followers flew into the air and screamed, "Hurry up and report to Master Wei that the young master has been killed!"
Qin Mu shook off the blood on the iron sheet, sat down, poured himself a glass of wine, and waited quietly.
The butcher showed admiration and said, "You are back again. I feel that the young Qin Mu who walked out of the Daxu Canlao Village is back again! Mu'er, aren't you leaving? Wei Yong was your childhood friend. You have a deep friendship. If you kill his son, aren't you afraid of meeting him?"
"Killing Wei Qinghe is useless!"
Qin Mu had a blank expression on his face and said, "I'll invite Wei Yong to drink some wine and appreciate my sword of law."
The butcher tilted his head: "Trouble."
He also sat down and poured himself a glass of wine. Later, he felt it was too troublesome to drink from the wine glass, so he simply threw away the lid of the wine jug and drank from it.
In the distance, in Jiangling City, divine light was flying, divine power was overwhelming, and it was rushing towards this side at a rapid speed.
Boom——
A fat god descended from the sky and landed on the Lanque Tower, shaking the building. The fat god shouted majestically, "Who killed my beloved son?"
At this moment, three or five more divine lights descended from the sky, revealing the figures of several gods and men. They stepped forward and shouted, "Where did this thief come from? How dare you kill people?"
"For murdering an official appointed by the imperial court, there is no need for trial. You will be executed on the spot!"
The fat god looked at the young man sitting behind his son's body, and his body trembled uncontrollably, with the fat on his face shaking as well.
Just as those gods were about to step forward, Wei Yong suddenly stretched out his arms to block them. They were puzzled and thought that he was going to avenge his son himself, so they stepped aside.
Wei Yong strode forward and said, "Brother Qin..."
"Brother Wei, please call me our teacher."
Qin Mu raised his hand and said indifferently, "I killed your son. We have known each other for many years. When I left Daxu, you were the first friend I made. We crossed the Jinjiang River by boat and went to the capital to take the imperial examinations. On the way, we encountered the rebellion of the Yulong Sect and fought several times. We can be said to have a life-and-death friendship. I killed your son and felt very guilty, so I poured a glass of wine for you to apologize to you."
Wei Yong burst into tears: "Why did you kill him when you could have taught him a lesson? I won't drink your wine!"
"It's up to you whether you drink it or not."
Qin Mu stood up and said in a deep voice: "There are many unfair things in this world. I can show my courage and take your son's head with a knife, and let his blood splatter five steps away. I am the national teacher and have this ability, but the common people can only let your son oppress and cheat. I realized that the courage and knife of a common man can only be quick for a moment, and cannot pacify the world or rule the world. So I realized a move of the knife of law, please guide me, Brother Wei!"
With the iron pieces in his hands, the whole building was filled with sword light. The laws were strict and the national laws were just like the Xuandu Tiangang in the hands of God and the Youdu chains in the hands of Tu Bo, which could capture people's hearts and souls, promote the righteousness of heaven and earth, and destroy the prestige of evil!
"Yankang must establish a country based on laws, and we must abide by the laws, regardless of personal feelings!"
With just one move, Qin Mu threw the iron sheet and stuck it in front of Wei Yong. He walked past him and said, "You didn't teach your son well and let him cause trouble to the neighbors. I will report it to the emperor and demote you by three ranks and fine you ten years. If this happens again, I will kill you with the sword of law. Take care of yourself."
