Qin Mu Borrows a Boat

Chapter 235 Qin Mu Borrows a Boat

Plop, plop.

The bodies of Taoist Chi Yun and Taoist Shao Yuan fell to the ground. Qin Mu put away his sword and looked up. Long Jiaonan had already gone far away. The red snake was very fast and it was not easy for it to catch up with her.

"Tonight, the ghost messenger had another wandering soul to collect, but unfortunately he failed to send Long Jiaonan away. This woman is indeed smarter than the others. She also escaped from the battle of Tianbo City."

Qin Mu breathed a sigh of relief. Long Jiaonan was the only one left now, and he could not do anything alone. If he dared to chase him again, he would surely die.

The reason why this battle was so smooth and efficient was mainly due to the coordination. Taoist Chi Yun's cultivation strength was very strong and was not inferior to that of Long Jiaonan.

Taoist Chi Yun carries a sword box on his back, which means that his strongest weapon is the sword. Demon King Dutian uses his eight arms to block the sword, allowing Qin Mu to rush to Taoist Chi Yun without any hesitation.

The demon ape was strong because of its great power. With the help of the Xiqi Luo Zen Staff and the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra, it was powerful enough to knock out Taoist Chi Yun. Qin Mu then killed him with a single sword.

Long Jiaonan's fighting power mainly lies in the big red snake. She has refined the red snake to the point where it is almost transformed into a dragon. Long Qilin is its opponent. He overwhelms the big red snake, forcing Long Jiaonan to not be able to rescue Taoist Chi Yun in time.

Long Jiaonan was too late to rescue him, and Taoist Chi Yun had no choice but to die.

However, if Long Jiaonan escaped, Qin Mu would not be able to capture her, because if he chased her, he would surely die. And the Demon King Dutian, Long Qilin, and the Demon Ape could not catch up with her, so he could only let her escape.

"Big guy, did the little Tathagata from the Little Leiyin Temple make things difficult for you?" Qin Mu asked.

The demon ape shook his head and pointed at himself and said, "I am Kong."

Qin Mu waited for a long while. The demon ape said his Dharma name, but how could a Dharma name have only one word? Was his Dharma name empty or something empty?

The demon ape naturally thought that he had understood and stopped talking. This demon ape was very frugal with words and really didn't say a single word.

"It would be good for you to practice with the little Tathagata. The little Tathagata also understands the Tathagata Mahayana Sutra, and he is also a different species who has achieved enlightenment, so he can better guide you in your practice."

Qin Mu waved his hand and said, "My parents are missing. I have to go look for them. I can't stay here any longer. Go home when you have time. Ling'er misses you too!"

The two said goodbye.

Qin Mu walked in the direction pointed by the ghost. This time he did not feel Long Jiaonan's gaze again. He thought that the woman thought she could not kill him, so she had to retreat.

"I wonder how the battle between Little Tathagata and Taoist Ling Jing went?"

Although Qin Mu was very concerned about this battle, finding the village chief and others was more important. He sat on the forehead of the dragon unicorn and moved forward. The Demon King Dutian stood on the back of the dragon unicorn, with four faces facing four directions, paying attention to the movements around.

The deeper you go into the ruins, the more powerful the strange beasts become. Some of them are as powerful as dragons, unicorns, and big red snakes. Fortunately, most of the strange beasts have their own territories.

Qin Mu had lived in Daxu since he was a child. He was very good at distinguishing the territories of strange beasts. He avoided these territories all the way and could say that he had no danger at all.

"Go further and you will reach the East Heaven Gate."

Qin Mu recalled the geographical map of Daxu that he had seen. There was a place called Dongtianmen. In addition to Dongtianmen, there were three other places named Tianmen, which were exactly the four Tianmen in the east, south, west and north.

At this moment, Long Qilin stopped, sniffed the air, and said, "There is a smell of blood."

"This guy is a big dog, not a dragon unicorn!" Dutian Demon King thought to himself.

Qin Mu's heart was moved: "Smell of blood? Let's go and take a look."

Long Qilin followed the smell of blood and walked forward. After a while, Qin Mu saw from afar an old Taoist lying under a tree, breathing heavily.

"Master Ling Jing!"

Qin Mu was surprised and quickly called Long Qilin to stop him, saying, "He has set up restrictions around him, don't step into them."

Taoist Ling Jing looked up weakly, took a breath, and suddenly coughed violently, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and said: "The Sword God's disciples have extraordinary vision. I am injured. In order to prevent being hit by strange beasts, I have set up a ban around here."

Qin Mu said: "Master, I am quite knowledgeable in medicine, do I need any help?"

Taoist Ling Jing raised his hand, removed the seal, and tried to stand up, but couldn't move. He panted and said, "Come here."

Qin Mu asked Long Qilin to walk forward and come under the tree. He jumped off Long Qilin's head and checked Taoist Ling Jing's injuries. The old man was seriously injured, probably by Little Tathagata.

The key is that Taoist Ling Jing is older and his physical body is not as good as before, so these injuries have become serious and difficult to heal on their own.

Qin Mu pondered, took out the ambergris, and used it to treat his external injuries, then took out a few Lingfo pills to repair the spiritual damage of Taoist Ling Jing. Qin Mu looked through the Taotie bag. He bought some medicinal herbs from the Tai Academy for emergency use. The number of these herbs was not large, but it should be enough to refine the healing elixir for Taoist Ling Jing.

Qin Mu immediately started refining the elixir with quick and superb skills. It didn't take long before he had finished refining a furnace of elixirs and asked Taoist Ling Jing to take them.

Taoist Ling Jing's face became better. He was surprised and said, "The disciple of the Sword God has such a high level of attainment in medicine. Little Taoist friend, how about you be my disciple? I have many enemies. You can keep me safe by staying by my side. Don't worry, although the old Sword God is powerful, what I can teach you is not bad either."

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "I am the leader of the Tiansheng Sect and cannot become your disciple."

"It turned out to be the Demon Cult Leader."

Taoist Ling Jing struggled to stand up, his face solemn, and greeted him: "I originally thought that I was one generation older than you, but I didn't expect that you are actually my peers. Ling Jing greets the Demon Cult Master."

Qin Mu quickly returned the greeting and said, "Senior Brother Ling Jing, you are too polite. Although your injury is not serious, you still need to recuperate if you want to cure your hidden illness."

Taoist Ling Jing smiled and said, "It seems that I was right to give you two Fengdu coins. The old sword god still owes me two Fengdu coins, but I guess this guy won't pay it back. This guy is very stingy and even cut off one of my fingers back then."

He opened his right hand and said, "Look."

The ring finger on his right hand was broken off by a sword.

"If this finger hadn't been broken, how could the Little Tathagata of Little Leiyin Temple have seriously injured me? But he was also seriously injured this time. Hehe, this kid doesn't have a miracle doctor by his side. I guess he'll have to go back to Little Leiyin Temple and suffer for two or three years before he can recover."

Taoist Ling Jing breathed a sigh of relief and said, "This guy is younger than me and has a good physical foundation. He was a disciple of the previous Tathagata and is a fellow apprentice of the current Tathagata. Before the previous Tathagata died, he passed the position of Tathagata to his senior brother. He was resentful and thought that the previous Tathagata did not pass the position to him because he was a demon, so he broke out of Leiyin Temple and established the Small Leiyin Temple. By the way, why are you walking alone in the depths of Daxu?"

Qin Mu prepared several kinds of medicine, boiled the medicine soup, and said: "The adults in my village are missing, I came out to look for them."

"The adults in the village?" Taoist Ling Jing wondered.

"It's the old Sword God and several other adults, including the Jade-faced Poison King, the Thief, the Horse King God, and the founder of my Heavenly Demon Sect. Have you met them, brother?"

Taoist Ling Jing was stunned, and suddenly burst into laughter, laughing so hard that tears came out. The wound that had just healed split open, and the old man gasped in pain: "Old Sword God and Heavenly Demon Patriarch lost themselves? These two old bastards, they actually lost themselves!"

He laughed so hard that he couldn't breathe. Qin Mu said quickly, "Stop laughing. The wound has exploded again. Have you seen them, brother?"

"No." Taoist Ling Jing shook his head.

Qin Mu took out the portraits of Master Ma, Granny Si and others and asked, "What about them?"

Taoist Ling Jing read it once, and said thoughtfully, "I have seen the blacksmith carrying the box. He is very fast and his skills are better than mine. When I met him, I even competed with him in leg strength. He didn't say a word and had a strange temper. Such a strong man is rare, but I have never heard of such a master."

Qin Mu was very excited: "This is the dumb grandfather in our village! Brother, do you know where he went?"

Taoist Ling Jing said, "He went to a restricted area in the Great Ruins. It is very dangerous there, and is one of the forbidden areas in the Great Ruins. I chased him to that forbidden area, but I stopped and did not go in. Is he a mute? No wonder he ignored me when I talked to him."

"Did the dumb grandpa go to the restricted area of ​​Daxu?"

Qin Mu became nervous again. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Brother, have you heard of Wuyou Township?"

"Worry-free Township?"

Taoist Ling Jing shook his head: "I haven't heard of it."

Qin Mu pondered for a moment. Taoist Ling Jing often wandered in the ruins and knew many unknown secrets. He also didn't know where Wuyou Township was, so his hope of finding Wuyou Township was slim.

Qin Mu thought about it for a while, and suddenly said: "Brother, can I ask you for one more favor? I want to go to the world of the dead again."

Taoist Ling Jing smiled and said, "This is a simple matter. I will take you there in the evening."

Qin Mu calmed down and treated his injuries. When night fell, Taoist Ling Jing had recovered and was no longer in danger. He immediately took him to walk in the dark ruins and said, "The living world of the dead is the territory of the King of Hell. This world is very mysterious and only appears at night when the two worlds overlap. If you want to enter the living world of the dead, you must have Fengdu coins. I have made a contract with the King of Hell that after I die, I cannot enter the Netherworld, but only Fengdu."

He looked around, took out a token, shone it into the darkness, and said, "The origin of Fengdu is very strange. It has no fixed place to live. It has been floating around in the Great Ruins, forming its own world. It is very mysterious. I have Fengdu's token. As long as I activate this token, Fengdu's messenger will come to greet me."

As they were talking, a beam of light shone out from between two huge mountains in the darkness. Taoist Ling Jing immediately led Qin Mu towards that place. The light flickered, leading them forward.

Unconsciously, they passed through several mountains and approached the light, only to find that the light was a ball of ghost fire, which disappeared in an instant.

The jade pendant on Qin Mu’s chest emitted a faint light and slowly floated up, guiding the way.

Taoist Ling Jing led Qin Mu and others forward, as if they had passed through an invisible barrier. The scenery in front suddenly changed, and the vast and mysterious world of the dead appeared in front of them. Countless mountains of bones were only seen in the vast sea of ​​fog, and a small boat was slowly approaching.

Taoist Ling Jing took Qin Mu and others on board the boat. The skeleton on the boat paddled the boat deep into the fog and arrived at the dock after a long time.

The monument to the world of the dead is just ahead.

Taoist Ling Jing asked curiously, "Master Demon, what are you doing here? Your cultivation is too weak. Even if you sell your soul, Fengdu will not accept it."

Qin Mu walked forward, passing the deserted village, and crossed the mountain in front. He looked at the huge moon boat in front of Fengdu, which looked like a three-legged giant toad carrying a huge boat. He said in a deep voice, "I want to borrow the boat to travel!"

"Borrowing a boat to travel?"

Taoist Ling Jing was stunned. Qin Mu ran forward quickly. Not long after, he broke through the air and landed on the moon boat after a few rises and falls.

On his chest, the jade pendant he had worn since childhood floated up, and the light it emitted became brighter.

The Demon King Dutian looked around, shocked, and murmured, "Is this a creation of God?"

"A visitor from Wuyou Township..."

On the messy moon ship, the broken stars in the sky turned into fireballs and kept falling. It was very dangerous. A strange voice came, trembling: "You are from Wuyou Township! What are you doing here? I am not a traitor, I just ran away! Their deaths are not my fault, hehe, don't blame me, I'm just timid..."

Qin Mu followed the sound and walked forward to the core of the Moon Ship. Between several huge pillars, a face several acres in size was pressed to the ground, looking at the jade pendant floating from Qin Mu's chest in horror.

"Don't blame me, I didn't betray my people--" the face screamed.

Qin Mu hesitated, exhaled a breath of foul air, and stretched out his palm to touch one of the pillars. Ling Yun Taoist frowned and said: "I have been here, there is nothing else here, only this madman. I have also checked these pillars, there is nothing unusual."

"Don't touch it!" the face cried in despair.

Qin Mu's palm touched the giant pillar, and suddenly an extremely terrifying force surged into his body, pouring into his body madly. There were crackling sounds in his body, and his body became taller and bigger. The surging divine power rolled in, causing his body to undergo earth-shaking changes!

He felt his tailbone was growing wildly, and soon a third leg grew out from behind him, standing firmly on the ground. Bones and flesh were also growing rapidly under his armpits, turning into arms.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Qin Mu stretched out his hands and grasped the other giant pillars. Everything around him seemed to be shrinking rapidly. In fact, the things around him did not shrink. Instead, they were getting bigger and taller.

There were rumbling sounds coming from his body. It was the divine power in the Moon Boat transforming his body. The rumbling sounds were the sounds of divine treasures opening up. In the blink of an eye, all the divine treasures of Liuhe, Qixing, Tianren, Life and Death were opened. Then the divine bridge and divine treasures opened up, and a divine bridge reached directly to the other side!

Qin Mu could not help but roar, and as he roared, the gigantic moon boat slowly stood up, and the waning moon crossed the sky and floated away into the distance.
