Chapter 1781 News from an Old Friend

"A child, from conception to birth, went through sixteen cosmic eras, and was named by the teacher himself."

Nan Xiangyuanjun glanced at Qin Mu and his wife and said, "Seventh Master, what are you planning to do? Can your child deserve this blessing?"

Qin Mu and Ling Yuxiu stood on the bow of the boat as the river flowed. Looking at the magnificent history of the 16th century below, Qin Mu smiled and said, "The child is naturally not worthy of it, but his father can make him worthy of it."

Nan Xiang Yuanjun's eyes flickered, and he said, "Then you and your wife will surely encounter all kinds of dangers on this trip. I regret agreeing to take you to Miro Palace."

Ling Yuxiu took Qin Mu's arm and said with a smile: "Don't worry, fellow Daoist Nanxiang, we have been through many dangers, and this trip is not dangerous."

Nan Xiangyuanjun stopped talking.

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, and a Guixu lotus flew out from between his eyebrows, gently floating into the long river of chaos. The lotus spun, and two or three lotus leaves floated on the river, moving with the golden ship and heading to the other side.

He then sacrificed the World Tree and took root in the River of Chaos, allowing the Guixu Lotus and the World Tree to absorb the energy of the River of Chaos together.

The branches and leaves of the World Tree are becoming fuller, the roots are growing stronger, and the Guixu lotus is becoming more and more beautiful.

Wisps of faint Taoist light rose from the lotus pedestal and floated into Ling Yuxiu's lower abdomen. At the same time, a flower bud emerged on the World Tree, and essence floated over, blending with the Taoist light from the lotus pedestal, nourishing the fetus in Ling Yuxiu's belly.

Nan Xiangyuanjun opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but finally decided to turn a blind eye.

"I'm just a hall master, why should I care so much?"

She thought to herself, "The young masters and the old monsters outside the Miro Palace will definitely not sit idly by and watch this baby being born. I'm afraid this journey will be extremely dangerous."

South sky.

Bai Yuqiong put down the rebellion in the South Heaven, promoted education, and opened an academy. After the Battle of the South Heaven, Bai Yuqiong and Prince Youming joined forces to defeat the Heavenly Army. Shang Ping fled in seclusion, and the remnants of the Heavenly Court caused chaos everywhere. It took Bai Yuqiong and Prince Youming more than ten years to finally wipe out the various rebel forces.

However, at this time there were still remnants of the Heavenly Court lurking in the South Sky, and occasionally one or two rebellions would occur, but there were no large-scale rebellions.

"Your Highness, I am going to Yankang to meet Emperor Yanfeng and report on the war situation in the South Heaven. There is a lot of work to be done in the South Heaven, especially the education sector, which has been deeply damaged by the Fire Lord and is difficult to solve. I am going to the sword Emperor Yanfeng to ask for his help."

Bai Yuqiong said to Prince Youming: "Your Highness has extraordinary abilities, but he is loyal and honest. It will take me a year or two to return. Your Highness must be careful that Shang Pingyin will make a comeback."

Prince Youming said: "Shang Pingyin has no soldiers or generals under his command, so he is not a concern. If he is a wise man, he should hide and not come out again, so that he can still survive. If he attacks me, he will only die."

Bai Yuqiong, along with the personal guards of the Qionghua Palace, boarded the Heavenly Master's chariot, entered the Spiritual Energy Bridge, and headed towards Yankang.

The spiritual energy migration bridge in Nantian was relatively small, so it could not support a strong person like her. It took Bai Yuqiong and her group more than a month to finally reach the spiritual energy migration bridge in Yankang.

The Heavenly Master's chariot was flying in the sky, not far from the ground. Bai Yuqiong looked down at the town and city walls below, observing the people's livelihood. She was not in a hurry to meet Emperor Yanfeng.

There are too many problems in Nantian. Although she wants to inherit Meng Yungui's will and awaken the people of Nantian, after nearly thirty years of bloody battles, most of the people in Nantian still kneel when they see a god and have no intention of resisting, which makes her feel deeply powerless.

Another purpose of her visit to Yankang this time was to see the people's livelihood and education in Yankang, absorb experience and promote it in Nantianzhong.

Yankang had experienced a great war and was in a state of disrepair. However, more than ten years after the war, the situation had caught up with that before the war.

"If it were the Heavenly Palace, after experiencing such a war, I'm afraid it would take thousands of years for them to recover."

She walked and stopped, went to the countryside to check out primary education, and went to the heavenly city to check out university education. She gained a lot and was filled with emotion.

However, she also found many problems.

There is a problem in the villages of Yankang. Most of the young and strong people go to the city to work and make a living, and often couples leave together. Only the old and the young are left in the villages. Not only does it make the villages lose their vitality, but it also breeds many chaos.

Although Emperor Yanfeng was aware of this problem and sent many people with supernatural powers to the countryside to support education and compensate them, the supernatural powers who were willing to enter the countryside were often not very accomplished, and the truly capable ones often stayed in the divine city.

The quality of education in rural areas is very worrying, and there is a clear gap with education in cities.

Children in rural areas have no parental supervision and are often left to their own devices, which is very detrimental to the next generation.

"How should Yankang solve this problem?"

One day, she entered a rural primary school and found that the learning atmosphere was very strong. This primary school was very famous in the surrounding area. The children in the countryside studied very hard and wanted to stand out, which moved her a lot.

"Children in rural areas may need to work ten times harder than those in cities, and spend ten or even twenty years longer than those in cities, before they can be on an equal footing with those in cities. However, this path to advancement has not been blocked, which is a good thing."

She had just thought of this when she suddenly saw a young lecturer from the countryside, and her heart was moved.

The young boy was very smart and was teaching and explaining his supernatural powers to the children. He had his own unique insights on how to use them.

What moved Bai Yuqiong was that she had a familiar feeling towards this young lecturer.

"Learning is for application. If you learn but don't apply, then it's a waste of time. There is a path between learning and application, which is called thinking."

The young lecturer spoke eloquently and insightfully: "Think. Memorizing runes by rote is not an option. You need to think about the principles of each rune, the principles of rune combination, and then think about the principles contained in them. This way, it will be much simpler..."

Bai Yuqiong waited quietly. Not long after, the bell for the end of get out of class rang and the young lecturer came out with a book in his hand.

Bai Yuqiong stopped him and said with a smile: "Daoyou, I have listened to your lectures and have gained a lot of insights. You have extraordinary talent and understanding. Why do you stay in this elementary school to teach? You will definitely have a better future if you go to a big city."

The young lecturer saw that she was elegant and distinguished, and knew that she was an important person. He greeted her politely and said, "I was born here and have feelings for my hometown. After I have learned something in the city, I will naturally come back. I plan to teach more people and help them leave the countryside."

"But you might be delayed. You could have a better future."

Bai Yuqiong tried to test him: "If you are willing, I can take you to Shangjing, where you can show your talents."

The young lecturer shook his head and rejected her.

"Meng Zhiyun, let's go!" A lecturer in the distance waved to the young man.

The young lecturer apologized and walked away quickly.

"Meng Zhiyun..."

Bai Yuqiong watched him leave, and it took a long time for her to come back to her senses. She climbed onto the Heavenly Master's chariot, looked through the window at Meng Zhiyun, and whispered, "Is that you? Senior Brother Meng... Cui'er, give me a handful of soil."

A personal guard quickly picked up a handful of dirt from the ground and put it into the imperial chariot.

Bai Yuqiong pinched soil into incense, lit it, and the smoke curled up and transformed into the form of Qin Fengqing, a three-headed, six-armed earth god who controlled the six realms of reincarnation.

Bai Yuqiong greeted him and said, "May I ask Tubo to help me find out the origins of a person."

Qin Fengqing, who was made of smoke, opened his brows and said indifferently, "This war, the operation of the six paths, is related to the origins of many new lives, which cannot be easily checked. I can't show favoritism for His Majesty the Southern Emperor."

Bai Yuqiong said quickly: "For the sake of my daughter and the Lord of the Beast Realm..."

Qin Fengqing was helpless and said, "This won't happen again."

Bai Yuqiong breathed a sigh of relief and asked him to check Meng Zhiyun.

After a while, Qin Fengqing said, "Meng Yungui from the Heavenly Palace suffered in Nether City for thirty-one years, refined his karmic fire, and reincarnated into the Meng family. He is now eighteen years old."

Bai Yuqiong's heart was slightly shaken, and she murmured, "It's really him... Why doesn't he recognize me?"

"In order to maintain justice, all memories of those who are reincarnated will be wiped out. His memories of his previous life have been completely burned in the fire of karma."

Qin Fengqing turned into smoke and disappeared. A voice came from the Netherworld: "Your Majesty the Southern Emperor, you must not interfere with him and awaken his memory. Otherwise, it will violate the rules of the Netherworld! I am very cruel and never show mercy..."

Bai Yuqiong was stunned for a long time, then suddenly pushed open the sedan chair and rushed out, quickly arriving in front of Meng Zhiyun.

Meng Zhiyun looked at her in surprise, with a puzzled look on his face. Bai Yuqiong handed him her name and said with a smile, "I am Bai Yuqiong from Nantian. If you go to Nantian or Shangjing in the future, you can look for me."

Meng Zhiyun accepted the visiting card, and Bai Yuqiong turned and left, feeling very happy.

After more than a month, she finally arrived in Yankang, the capital.

Yan Yunxi came to greet her at the order of Emperor Yanfeng and invited her to the capital, saying, "His Majesty knows the news of your coming and guesses the purpose of your trip. He has ordered 30,000 supernatural powers to go to the South Sky. 30,000 supernatural powers can open 100 schools and academies."

"How can one hundred be enough?"

Bai Yuqiong opened her mouth loudly and raised a finger: "At least 100,000 schools and academies should be opened! Master Zixi, don't forget that you disguised yourself as a man and deceived me for tens of thousands of years! You owe me!"

Yan Yunxi had already changed back into her female attire. Upon hearing this, she said helplessly, "After the war, Yankang doesn't have that many manpower. Now even Wuyou Township and Chiming Xuankong Realm have been merged into Yankang, so there is a serious shortage of manpower. If I give Nantian to you, Yankang's education will be ruined. You can just make do with it for now..."

It was an old story that she had deceived Bai Yuqiong. She knew she was in the wrong, but now Yankang had no one to help, so she was helpless.

Bai Yuqiong walked side by side with her and suddenly said, "I met the reincarnated Master Meng. He is doing well now and has his own career and philosophy. With his wisdom, he will achieve something different from his previous life in the future. I heard about Zhuocha. Have you gone to look for him?"

Yan Yunxi heard this and her face darkened: "I am a farmer after reincarnation, I don't like me..."

Bai Yuqiong was stunned, and she covered her mouth and laughed secretly: "Zi Xi, you have come to this day!"

Yan Yunxi glared at her and said helplessly: "He is a blockhead. But don't worry, he will fall in love with me sooner or later!"

Bai Yuqiong woke up and asked hurriedly, "How do you know the whereabouts of Zhuocha's reincarnation? Tubo Qin Fengqing said that he is impartial and will never show favoritism or corruption."

"He's bullshitting!"
