Harming the Country and the People
Chapter 244: Disaster for the Country and the People
Everyone in Canlao Village came out to congratulate, celebrating that the village chief finally had a successor when he was about to die, and also celebrating that Qin Mu inherited the village chief's legacy and became the modern Human Emperor. However, the village chief did not look kindly at the mute, and Qin Mu was not very happy with the identity of Human Emperor.
After the fun, Qin Mu continued to learn swordsmanship from the village chief.
The sword diagram is the sword technique created by the village chief, not the sword technique of the Human Emperor Palace. The first move, Sword Walking on Mountains and Rivers, is already the most complicated sword technique Qin Mu has ever seen. It is even more complicated than the first move of the Taoist sword, Repeating Yin and Yang within the Two Principles.
However, Jian Lu Shan He is the simplest sword technique in the sword diagram. The second move, Kai Huang Sword, is several times more complicated than Jian Lu Shan He and is extremely difficult to learn.
It took Qin Mu more than ten days to learn the sword technique.
During his travels in Yankang Kingdom, his horizons and knowledge improved immeasurably compared to before. He received the teachings from the woodcutter on the stone, comprehended the great unified technique, integrated the Three Dan Techniques of Tyrant Body, and his own aptitude and understanding also improved significantly.
However, it still took him more than twenty days to learn the Kaihuang sword move.
Only then did he realize the good intentions of the village chief. If the village chief had not competed with him in the Sword Walking on Mountains and Rivers move, it would have taken him a much longer time to learn the Sword Out of Kaihuang, perhaps even a year or two.
It was precisely because the village chief forced out and squeezed out his talents that Qin Mu was able to learn the Kaihuang Sword in just over twenty days. Because he was now at the level of half swordsmanship and half swordsmanship, although it was difficult to comprehend, he could still learn it.
But the third move of the sword diagram, the Emperor's Tribulation Movement, reached the ultimate in swordsmanship in terms of skills and changes, which was beyond Qin Mu's ability to learn. He only memorized the sword moves, but in order to perform them, he still needed to understand the mysteries of the moves. However, even if he tried his best to comprehend them, he could not completely unlock the mystery of the Emperor's Tribulation Movement.
This is due to your vision and knowledge. If your vision and knowledge are not broad, your foundation will be insufficient. Even if you are taught, you will not be able to learn it and cannot use it.
Qin Mu had no choice but to give up and concentrate on learning the Kaihuang sword move.
One sword created an ocean of blood.
Qin Mu had heard the young village chief who walked out of the deaf man's painting recite this poem in a small deserted village in Yankang State. There was a different kind of emotion hidden in the swordsmanship.
The sword Lu Shanhe taught to him by the village chief also has a kind of charm and sentiment. It is the sentiment of gathering heroes and fighting against gods and demons, while the sword Chu Kaihuang is the sentiment of remembering the martyrs.
The two emotions are different, and the artistic conception in the sword techniques is also very different. Although Qin Mu has learned these two sword techniques, he is still unable to appreciate the artistic conception and emotions contained in the sword techniques.
The energy required for the Kaihuang sword was even more astonishing. One move consumed nearly half of his cultivation. If he wanted to perform this move, he would not be able to do it without strong energy.
"Village chief, how many moves are there in the sword diagram?" Qin Mu asked.
The village chief was calm and composed: "Only eight moves."
Qin Mu was surprised: "Eight moves? So few?"
"One move for each realm."
The village chief narrowed his eyes and said, "So there are only eight moves."
Qin Mu counted on his fingers, Spirit Embryo, Five Luminaries, Six Combinations, Seven Stars, Heaven and Man, Life and Death, and Divine Bridge, all seven realms. So why are there eight moves?
“If you go up to the Divine Bridge realm, you will become a god! Could it be that the village chief’s eighth move is a move of God?” His heart was pounding.
These days, apart from studying swordsmanship, he was competing with the village chief in swordsmanship, using the pressure from the village chief to force himself to go further.
He was trying to integrate the national teacher's three basic sword styles into the Sword Out of Kaihuang. With someone like the village chief guiding him, he naturally made rapid progress.
The village chief’s swordsmanship is a shortcut. For him, it doesn’t matter whether the basic sword moves have fourteen or seventeen moves. But for Qin Mu, adding the national teacher’s three swordsmanship moves can greatly increase the power of this move.
These days, his sword skills have improved rapidly.
Qin Mu seemed to have returned to the past, practicing boxing with Master Ma every day, fighting knife skills with the butcher, stealing with the lame man, learning blacksmithing from the mute, practicing divine eyes with the blind man, refining medicine with the pharmacist, painting with the deaf man, and tailoring clothes with his mother-in-law.
Although I am so tired that I collapse in bed every day, my life is very fulfilling.
When he returned to the village this time, what Master Ma, the butcher and others taught him was more advanced. What they taught him before was just the basic skills, but now Qin Mu's horizons and knowledge have broadened, and he can learn their more advanced skills, which makes all the old men and women in Canlao Village very pleased.
"My mother-in-law's inner demon has struck again!"
The village was suddenly in chaos, and the lame man shouted, "Come here, blind man! Old Lady Si has regained her true appearance, and I can't do it. If you can't see it, come and subdue this little demon!"
Qin Mu was competing with the butcher in knife skills. Hearing this, he looked over and saw a woman coming out of Granny Si's room. Qin Mu's heart started beating violently when he saw this woman, as if an invisible arrow had shot him in the heart.
Granny Si should have revealed her true face. She had obviously dressed up carefully. The clothes she wore were no longer shabby clothes, but were made of exquisite silk and satin. They fit her body very well and showed off her figure well.
Her makeup was also carefully done, with bright eyes and white teeth, and very light makeup, which did not conceal her stunning beauty.
She wore a bracelet of emerald green jade on her left wrist and teardrop-shaped earrings on her earlobes. When she walked out of the room, the weather was so bright that it didn't seem like winter, but as if it was the turn of spring and summer. Although it was still cold, everyone in the village felt like spring was here, with flowers blooming, beautiful and fragrant.
She walked out like a goddess walking down from the otherworldly world to the mortal world, stunning all the villagers.
The pharmacist felt ashamed of himself and covered his face and walked away. The deaf man's pen fell on the table. He hurriedly took out a bronze mirror and put on his makeup in front of it. The mute hurriedly ran to the water tank to wash his face. Master Ma chanted Buddhist mantras to calm his inner demons. The butcher shaved off his beloved beard with a butcher knife. The lame man closed his eyes and yelled at the blind man to come over.
The village chief was also a little flustered. He turned around and said, "Blind man, blind man!"
The blind man walked towards Granny Si with a bamboo stick in hand and asked slowly, "Is it Master Li or Granny Si?"
The cripple said angrily, "Of course it's the perverted Sect Leader Li! Old Lady Si can't suppress him! You can't see her face, so you have to suppress Sect Leader Li!"
Granny Si spoke in a rough and vicissitudes voice, and smiled charmingly: "Madam is no match for me, and now I have suppressed her. Look, am I beautiful?"
She smiled happily, infatuated with her own beauty, and her voice was as gentle as a rose. "Before I married my wife, I realized that I was not worthy of such a beauty. Not only me, but no man in the world was worthy of her! But I was determined to marry her. I knew she was not willing to marry me. After all, I was her master, but she could not resist. I also knew that she was going to kill me on our wedding night, and I was willing to let her kill me. Because..."
She raised her wrist and looked at her flawless skin, which was whiter and more delicate than mutton-fat jade. Even the transparent and flawless jade bracelet became a foil and was not worthy of this wrist.
Sect Leader Li covered his mouth and chuckled, "Because I envy her so much. I don't want to marry her, but I want to become her. If she kills me and I become her, isn't that the best of both worlds?"
The blind man came over with a cane. Although she was extremely beautiful, she had little effect on him. He said leisurely, "Master Li, that's too much. Have you forgotten that you were once a man?"
"Damn man, what is there to be nostalgic about?"
Leader Li had a charming and attractive figure. She rolled her eyes at him and said, "You blind man, you don't understand the benefits of being a woman. Don't try to stop me. You can't stop me. I'm leaving. I want to live another life as a woman!"
Qin Mu closed his eyes tightly and didn't look at her. He couldn't help but open his eyes and said, "Master Li, you are a little abnormal! We are both masters of the Tiansheng Sect. I despise you as a human being!"
The blind man stood still, leaning on his bamboo stick and said with a smile: "Mu'er, you are right."
Sect Leader Li glanced at Qin Mu, and Qin Mu's mind suddenly went blank. He had no thoughts in his mind, and he just felt it was so beautiful.
"If you keep making noise, I will kill you and become the Holy Leader again." Leader Li said with a smile, pinching his fingers like a lotus.
Qin Mu's heart was pounding. He felt that if such a beautiful woman wanted to take his life, he would be willing to do so.
"No, no! She is Granny Si... Bah, that's Sect Leader Li Tianxing, a rotten old man! Bah, even if she's Granny Si, that's not okay, she's the Granny who raised me!"
Qin Mu's forehead was covered with cold sweat and he almost had a mental disorder. He quickly closed his eyes.
Leader Li walked out of the village. The demonic energy around her became heavier and heavier, and her demonic nature became stronger and stronger. On the road ahead of her, there was a blind man holding a bamboo stick.
The two men attacked almost at the same time, and the outcome was decided in a flash.
The surging energy spread out in all directions, and treasures were everywhere in Canlao Village. All kinds of treasures were instantly triggered by the horrific aftermath of the confrontation between the two men, shining brightly, and waves of horrifying vibrations burst out, dispersing the white clouds in the sky!
Sect Leader Li covered his chest and slowly fell down: "Blind man, my wife's cultivation is too poor, otherwise I would not be inferior to you, I would only be stronger than you..."
The blind man leaned on a bamboo stick and said calmly: "You and I have never fought before, how do you know you are stronger than me?"
Qin Mu quickly ran into Granny Si's room, took out a piece of human skin and tattered clothes and covered Priest Li with them. Priest Li turned into a little old woman again and said sternly: "I don't want to become like this! I am the most beautiful woman in the world, I don't want to become this ugly! I want to wear the most beautiful clothes and be the most beautiful woman!"
Master Ma walked over quickly, chanting Buddhist mantras to suppress his evil nature and Li Tianxing. After a while, Granny Si woke up slowly, her voice recovered, and she thanked Master Ma.
The pharmacist hurried forward, checked her injuries, treated her, and said, "Blind man, you were a bit too harsh. Mu'er, you are faster than me in refining pills, you come and refine the elixir."
Qin Mu responded by saying yes and quickly refined the elixir.
The blind man sighed, "I have to be ruthless. Grandma's cultivation level has improved too quickly, and she is already close to the realm of life and death. It should be because Sect Leader Li's soul has merged too much with her. In addition, Sect Leader Li's unified technique is really powerful, so I have to use heavy hands."
Granny Si stood up, took the elixir Qin Mu sent her, and said, "I'm fine, I feel much better."
The village chief floated over and shook his head, saying, "Granny, it's a good thing you're in the village. If you were outside and Sect Leader Li took over your body, I'm afraid it would bring disaster to the country and the people. His evil nature is too strong, and it's not uncommon for him to cause chaos in the world. Even the emperor would lose control of himself if he saw you, and in a few years even Yankang Country would be defeated by Sect Leader Li."
Master Ma said, "Your inner demon is getting stronger and stronger. It's not a good idea to drag it on like this. My Buddhist teachings are not as profound as those of the old Tathagata. Perhaps the old Tathagata can help you subdue Master Li. You might as well go to the Great Leiyin Temple."
The butcher touched his face and found that his hands were covered in blood. He had just shaved too hastily and the butcher knife had cut his face, but he had been fascinated by Granny Si's beauty and didn't feel anything. Now Granny Si was wearing the skin of an old woman, and he realized it. He was horrified and said quickly: "There is no time to lose, Granny, you'd better leave immediately! The longer you delay, the more dangerous we will be!"
The village chief coughed and said, "We are going to the Great Leiyin Temple to ask the old Tathagata to suppress the evil of the old lady, not to exterminate the whole family. There is no need for too many people to go. Master Ma is familiar with the route and needs to go. The blind man can ignore the old lady's appearance and follow her. Mu'er is smart and can help as he has practiced the Creation Heavenly Demon Art. He is also proficient in medicine. The three of you will accompany the old lady to the Great Leiyin Temple."
His face was solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "Remember, you must not let Master Li escape, otherwise there will be chaos in the world!"
