Hidden Danger

Chapter 1630 Hidden Murder

The next day, Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu got up early, washed up, Ling Yuxiu tied her hair into a bun, and Qin Mu put a hairpin in her hair. After the couple had breakfast, the servants in the mansion had sorted out various gifts, compiled them into a book, and sent them to Qin Mu.

Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu drank tea while they put their heads together, opened the booklet and read it one by one.

In addition to treasures, many of the gifts brought by the guests were strange and peculiar things. For example, Lan Yutian gave the insights he gained from comprehending under the World Tree over the years, Xu Shenghua gave a can of tea and a pot of orchid, and Zhe Huali gave a Hundred Children Jade Scene that he had carved with a knife.

Taoist Lin Xuan sent over a copy of the numerology equations he had researched over the years, while Tathagata Zhankong sent over a rosary, and Wang Muran sent over a letter of challenge, inviting Qin Mu to go to Xiaoyujing to fight a person of the same realm.

What Emperor Yanfeng gave them was a thick stack of booklets with Qin Mu's name written on it and lines of "正" characters below.

Jiang Baigui, the Imperial Master of Yankang, sent over a branch which contained his sword arts. It was unclear whether he was challenging Qin Mu or hoping that he could comprehend his own sword arts from it and make further progress.

The Woodcutter Sage gave a booklet of 360 kinds of acquired great ways, indicating that his legacy was given to Qin Mu. Yan Yunxi gave a carrot with a bite taken from it, probably because the donkey Lu Zheng couldn't help but take a bite when he came to give a gift.

Di Yiyue gave Ling Yuxiu a hairpin, which should still be useful. Tian Shu gave her a jar of wine that he had treasured for many years and was reluctant to drink.

Emperor Shitian Li Youran personally copied a copy of the "Record of Heavenly Creations" that he had comprehended. The old farmer Zhuocha sent them a load of rice that he had grown himself. Niu Sanduo also sent them a load of rice. The fisherman Tianshi Hantang gave them two little red Kun, which were still cubs, and should be the offspring of his red fish.

Ling Yuxiu quickly rummaged through the pile of gifts and saw two little red fish in the small fish tank, swimming around with a pacifier in each of their mouths.

"Don't touch me."

Qin Mu quickly stopped her and said, "This is Kun, it eats people."

The two little red Kuns looked at them innocently with their pacifiers wrapped around them.

The two continued to look through the pages, and Ling Yuxiu smiled and said, "Ling Tianzun gave you a knot to tie the knot forever. The things given by Tianzun are indeed special."

Qin Mu took out the knot given by Ling Tianzun, only to see that it was tied using the red rope knotting seal method. It incorporated all sorts of exquisite Taoist patterns of the Miro Palace, which made him fascinated unconsciously.

"The Moon Lord gave you a concentric lamp!"

Ling Yuxiu found a lantern with two hearts embroidered on it and said with a half-smile, "The gift from the Heavenly Lord is truly unique."

"It's for both of us, and it means we can stay together forever."

Qin Mu remained calm: "This lantern is very useful for traveling."

Ling Yuxiu took out the gift from the Divine King Langhui and said, "Sister Langhui gave you a flower."

Qin Mu looked at it and his heart skipped a beat. This flower was when Lang Yu was instructing him in the void on the other side. When they competed, Qin Mu did not fight back during the last attack. Instead, he visualized a bright and fresh flower and gave it to Lang Yu.

Lang Hui planted the flower in the Hongmeng Yuanye Pool, and the flower is still alive today.

Qin Mu laughed and said, "The gift Lang Hui sent is also very unique... Yeah, very unique."

Ling Yuxiu smiled and said, "Poison Master Mu Yingxue sent me the geographical map of her home."

Qin Mu said quickly: "Be careful of poisoning! It's better to burn it quickly!"

"Formation Master He Yiyi sent me a picture of a white horse. You and she are riding on the same horse. The painting is very good. You are worthy of having studied with the deaf grandfather for two years."

"There is a hidden killing array inside, burn it!"

"The Emperor White Sword God gave you a set of dolls."

Ling Yuxiu searched around and found that the doll was a box with four legs. When she opened the box, she saw two little people standing back to back.

She was about to take out the doll and examine it carefully, when suddenly Qin Mu said in surprise: "Grandpa Pharmacist gave us a set of dual cultivation techniques, Madam, come quickly!"

Ling Yuxiu closed the box, leaned forward to take a look, spat, and said with a blushing face: "Grandpa Pharmacist is a gangster, always dishonest!"

"Taichu sent me a dragon scale."

Qin Mu found the dragon scale, looked at it for a moment, and said with a smile: "Eastern Emperor Qinglong, how are you? Taichu sent this dragon scale to me, it must be because Qinglong once told him that I owed him a favor when I refined the Jie Sword. It's interesting that he sent me this dragon scale, very interesting..."

His eyes flickered as he said, "Taichu suspected that I was not really retiring, so he used this dragon scale to test me. If I resurrected the Eastern Emperor Azure Dragon, I would not really be retiring, and I still have ambitions. He is still wary of me!"

He put away the dragon scales and did not revive the Eastern Emperor Azure Dragon. He said, "The Ten Celestial Lords are the Ten Celestial Lords. Taichu and Haotian Lord are just birds of a feather. We will talk about reviving Azure Dragon in the future!"

"Emperor Haotian also sent a lot of treasures."

Ling Yuxiu was amazed and said, "He is really generous. The God of Heaven also sent gifts, in the name of Tubo and God of Heaven."

"He is urging me to revive Ah Chou Tu Bo."

Qin Mu quietly put away the box doll that Bai Yuer had sent him, then visualized himself and Ling Yuxiu's dolls and put them back where they were, saying, "He couldn't urge me directly, so he used the gift to remind me."

"Fat Long sent me a set of sutras on how to keep people!"

Ling Yuxiu chuckled and said, "And it's a new version. Fatty Long is really thoughtful. This must be a gift for me!" After saying that, she glanced at Qin Mu.

Qin Mu laughed and turned his head away with a gloomy expression.

"Tai Shi also gave a gift, a small piece of eggshell."

Ling Yuxiu wondered, "Why did he send the eggshells... Senior Brother Wei sent a bunch of geographical maps, do you want to see them?"

…

The couple sorted out and finally reviewed the guests' gifts. They kept those that should be kept, and sent those that should not be kept directly to the Yankang Treasury or sold them.

At noon, the couple went to pay respects to their parents and the eight elders of the disabled village. Granny Si prepared a few cows for Qin Mu. Qin Mu's heart tightened, and he secretly looked at the cows. He found that they were really cows, and then he felt relieved.

"Mu'er, let's go back to the village!" said the blind man with a smile.

Yongjiang, Canlao Village, the nosy dragons have long occupied this place and become the bully nearby. Everyone planned to clean it up and drive the nosy dragons away. Qin Mu smiled and said, "No need. I am a hermit Tianzun, and I am attached to power. How can I live in the original small mountain village?"

He visualized with his spiritual consciousness, and after a while, a magnificent and golden palace appeared in the sky above Canlao Village, magnificent and splendid. He and Ling Yuxiu walked into the palace hand in hand.

The Heavenly Palace was floating in the clouds, and below it were countless chicken-like dragons looking up at it with great envy.

The Milky Way flows across the sky, and Qin Mu used his great magical powers to move a piece of land and placed it next to the river. He then grazed the cows on the river bank. The green mountains, green waters, and white clouds were all around, creating a very poetic and picturesque scene.

Ling Yuxiu placed the two little red Kun that the fisherman Hantang sent her into the Milky Way. The two little red Kun swam around the shore with their pacifiers wrapped around them, reluctant to leave.

As soon as Ling Yuxiu left, she heard two loud crackling sounds in the Milky Way. She saw two huge red Kuns, several dozen feet long, leaping out of the water. They opened their mouths and ate two cows that were grazing on the shore. The remaining two cows quickly ran away.

Ling Yuxiu was dumbfounded as she saw the two red Kuns move their bodies and slowly retreat into the Milky Way, then turned into two little red fish swimming around with their pacifiers in their mouths.

"My husband doesn't know about this yet. Well, go buy two more cows to make up for it. He won't be able to see it..."

Ling Yuxiu left in a hurry and bought two cows to mix into the herd to make up the number.

She also planted the flowers sent by Langhui by the Tianhe River, and planted Yan Yunxi's radishes. The radish fell to the ground, and the part that was bitten by Lu Zheng suddenly grew, but soon recovered as before, turning into a naked baby that jumped out of the soil and jumped into the river to take a bath.

"Be careful, there are Kun in the river..."

Ling Yuxiu had just said this when she heard another "crack" and two red Kun jumped out of the water. The naked baby then clenched his fists and beat up the two red Kun.

Ling Yuxiu finally felt relieved.

Qin Mu studied the classics in the gift and read them one by one. Ling Yuxiu also brought the various reform results of Yankang, which was very helpful to him. He couldn't help but marvel at the development of Yankang's magical powers and Taoism over the years.

He took out the atlas of the Three Hundred and Sixty Great Daos sent by the Woodcutter Sage, compared it with it, and frowned slightly.

"Teacher Qiaofu proposed 360 kinds of great ways, which is also the prototype of the 360 ​​halls of Tiansheng Sect. However, after more than 100 years of reform in Yankang, how many more great ways of the acquired world are there?"

Qin Mu closed the book and stood up. The Yankang Reform gave birth to new industries one after another. Each new industry represented the birth of a new acquired avenue.

The Tao has no end. It does not mean that the path to seek the Tao has no end, but that the acquired Tao is infinite and can never be fully explored.

While he was absorbing the results of the Yankang Reform, he was also newly married to Ling Yuxiu, enjoying their loving love, and hanging out with the elders in Canlao Village. Time passed quickly.

It was a rare opportunity for him to calm down. He had been meditating quietly these days, organizing his skills and supernatural powers. His Taoism became more and more profound. The things Lan Yutian sent him were very inspiring. He was also deeply impressed by the Yankang Reforms and the 360 ​​kinds of acquired ways of the Woodcutter Sage.

Emperor Yanfeng and Imperial Preceptor Jiang Baigui handled Yankang government affairs, while Yu Chenzi was responsible for negotiations with the Heavenly Court. These trivial matters did not disturb his Taoist heart.

Gradually, he felt that his Taoism and supernatural powers were at a bottleneck and on the verge of a major breakthrough. He felt that he was about to reach a completely new realm, but he was completely confused and ignorant about the way forward.

Qin Mu walked back and forth and unknowingly came to the edge of the Milky Way. He saw a group of cockroach dragons flying onto this piece of land in the sky and searching for insects in the mountains and forests.

Next to them were a few cows, lying in the shade of the trees, wagging their tails and chewing the cud, looking leisurely and contented.

Qin Mu sat on the grass, lost in thought.

I don't know how long it took, but suddenly I heard a voice: "You were the Lord of Shepherd Heaven back then, but now you are the cowherd. You made me... I am filled with emotion and sigh."

Qin Mu turned around and saw Emperor Haotian in plain clothes, who had arrived here at some point in his life.

Qin Mu stood up and said with a forced smile: "Your Majesty is laughing at me."

Emperor Haotian came to his side, looked around, and said, "When I heard that Lord Mu Tian had lost his heart, I couldn't believe it. Now that I see you so depressed, I believe it, but a trace of sadness wells up in my heart."

He looked up at the sky and murmured, "Without an opponent like Mu Tianzun, what use is my martial arts?"

Two lines of tears rolled down the corners of his eyes.
