It Seems Like a Dream but It Is True
Chapter 246: Seemingly Real
Qin Mu looked at the Green Dragon Crescent Blade in the hand of the Heavenly King statue. This blade was real and not made of stone.
When they just arrived at the Temple of the Heavenly King, Qin Mu had already looked around carefully. He clearly remembered that the statue of the Heavenly King did not have a knife in his hand, let alone such a huge Green Dragon Crescent Blade.
What’s even more surprising is that there is some blood on the knife.
Qin Mu was about to reach out his hand to touch it and check if it was real blood, when the blind man reached out with his bamboo stick, lifted his wrist, and moved it aside, smiling, "Mu'er, don't be so curious, it could kill you."
Qin Mu was horrified, and suddenly remembered what happened when the village chief took him walking in the darkness. A drop of devil's blood caused the flowers, plants and trees within a hundred feet radius to wither and die.
If the blood on the Green Dragon Crescent Blade is real blood, then the incredible and strange thing that happened last night is also true. In other words, this statue of the Heavenly King really killed a Dragon King of the East China Sea, and the drop of blood on the sword is the blood of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
"The magic sword is psychic, don't provoke it easily." The blind man seemed to see what he was thinking and said softly.
Qin Mu smiled and said, "I'm not a lame grandpa. I won't do anything outrageous and even want to take the Heavenly King Sword home. I just want to collect the Dragon King's blood on the sword. This is the Dragon King's blood among the divine dragons. Maybe it can be used to make medicine."
The blind man praised: "Shepherd is really frugal and knows how to make money."
Qin Mu took out a jade bottle, carefully put the drop of Dragon King's blood on the Qinglong Yanyue Sword into the bottle, and tightened the stopper.
In the courtyard of the Tianwang Temple, a huge stone dragon head smashed a big hole in the ground, and there was bright red blood on the dragon head.
Qin Mu took out a box, used the energy thread to transform it into sword energy, carefully controlled the sword energy, scraped off the blood and put it in the box.
He came to the neck of the dragon's head and saw that the cross section was neat, as if it had been cut by an extremely sharp knife. Just from the cross section he could imagine how domineering, fast and sharp that knife was!
Although the dragon head is a stone statue, one can still feel the unparalleled sword intent and sword realm from the cut surface of the wound.
"If I were to sit here and watch the dragon head being cut, I could comprehend an extremely domineering knife technique, no less powerful than Grandpa Tu's pig-killing knife technique. But unfortunately, there is no time. It's time to hurry."
Qin Mu felt regretful. If he could comprehend the sword technique, the sword intent and sword realm would contain the divine realm, and the momentum alone would be enough to scare a large number of people to death.
Master Ma urged, “Mu’er, let’s go!”
Qin Mu hurriedly followed and called upon Long Qilin, wanting to ride on it. Long Qilin had been ridden like a horse by the statue of the Heavenly King all night, and after all the fighting and killing, it felt sore and weak all over. As soon as Qin Mu rode on it, it started screaming like a pig being slaughtered.
Qin Mu jumped down quickly. The dragon unicorn said, "I must have been possessed by an evil spirit. I was ridden by a stone statue all night last night. Blind elder, you can tell fortunes, but can you exorcise evil spirits?"
The blind man shook his head and said, "I'm not specialized in this business. I just tell fortunes and exorcise evil spirits occasionally. I can't exorcise the evil spirit that has befallen you. Don't worry. Just take a night's rest and you'll be fine."
Long Qilin was skeptical.
After walking northward for thousands of miles, the terrain suddenly became low. The further north they went, the lower the terrain became. Qin Mu looked back and saw that they were walking down from several mountain ranges. He was surprised.
Granny Si said, "This seems to be a basin. There are mountains around the basin, and above the basin is a plain. We walked from the plain into the basin. This basin is not small."
When everyone looked, they saw towering mountains, dense forests, and numerous ravines and ravines in the basin. The geography of the basin was very different from other places in Daxu.
This basin is extremely vast. Sometimes when Qin Mu and his companions walked through a mountainside, they could see some branches and twigs of red corals, which looked as charming as rubies.
Granny Si picked a coral branch and planned to make it into a hairpin. Suddenly, a strange beast jumped out from the valley. It looked like a giant lobster, but it was more than ten feet long and had seven or eight legs. It waved its claws at everyone.
"Lunch is settled!" the blind man was overjoyed.
At noon, Qin Mu roasted the exotic beast. The aroma was fragrant and the shrimp paste was golden and oily, which made everyone's appetite grow. Ma Ye had broken his fast long ago and ate to his heart's content, leaving only shrimp shells on the ground.
Qin Mu wondered, "Why is there such a strange beast here? There is no water around?"
As they were talking, they heard the mooing of a cow in the distance, and the forest shook. Several fish monsters smelled the fragrance and came out of the forest. These fish monsters had fish bodies, up to six or seven feet long, but they had six thick legs under their bodies, and their voices were like those of cows, and very loud.
Qin Mu looked from afar and saw these fish monsters running towards him at great speed. Their legs and feet seemed to be fish fins, and there were huge fish scales on them. They were extremely hard, and the scales were like mirrors when they walked. When the sunlight shone on them, thousands of scales reflected light in all directions.
"Now that you're full, stop killing people in vain." Master Ma's aura burst out, scaring away the fish monsters.
His aura was so powerful that it scared away the fish monster and the "flying birds" in the forest. Qin Mu looked up and saw a group of winged fish flying in the sky and then escaping into the distance.
He opened his Sky Eyes and looked, only to see dark shadows swaying on the distant hills. Several giant octopuses with eight tentacles and huge heads retreated back into their own territories, not daring to provoke them.
One of the giant octopuses with eight tentacles was frightened and puffed out a cloud of black smoke, covering an area of about a hundred acres and making the air pitch black.
They continued on their way and saw several fishermen with human bodies and fish heads, hunting with steel forks in their hands.
"What a strange ruins." muttered the blind man.
Qin Mu has lived here since he was a child. All he has seen since he was a child are these strange creatures. He has always thought that fish and shrimps should be like this, running around all over the ground, so he was just surprised and didn't take it to heart.
However, the blind man, Granny Si and others have not always lived here and do not know the habits of the fish and shrimp outside, so they find it strange.
Granny Si looked around and murmured, "This place should have been an ocean in the past. It's a miracle of nature that the ocean is gone. The creatures living in the ocean have no choice but to go onto land and change their habits. But the change is too great..."
The blind man also found it incredible. Suddenly, Long Qilin said in surprise: "I seem to have been here before..."
Qin Mu was puzzled and asked with a smile: "Have you and the master been to this place?"
Long Qilin shook his head and said, "No. I meant that a god rode me here last night."
They passed by a village whose inhabitants were the survivors of Daxu, and they all looked at a loss.
Qin Mu went forward to ask, and an old man said: "I don't know what happened yesterday. Countless Dragon King Temples within hundreds of miles were destroyed, and the dragon gods enshrined in many temples were beheaded! In the past, we would go to the Dragon King Temple to worship and pray for good weather, but now many Dragon King Temples and Dragon God Temples have been destroyed, and everyone is unsure..."
Qin Mu was shocked and asked in detail. The old man said, "There was a heavy storm last night. The villagers were all woken up and saw that it was pitch black outside. Many people's houses were covered with water. The water was floating on the roofs and did not fall down."
Qin Mu was stunned. Water was floating on the roof?
"The waves were very loud and noisy, there was a bright light coming from the water, and many people saw a dragon!"
The old man said, "It was like a vast sea hanging in the sky. Shouts and cries of killing came from above. I saw lightning crackling in the sea, and it stopped at four o'clock in the morning. After dawn, the water in the sky disappeared, and there were only many large trees, as if it had rained all night, with water on their crowns. Then I found that the Dragon King Temple and the Dragon God Temple were destroyed to an unknown extent. People who live in the temple said that they saw the stone statue of the dragon in the temple fly out."
Qin Mu widened his eyes. The stone dragon statue flew out?
"It is said that there was a monk living in the Dragon Valley. In the middle of the night, he saw a god king holding a knife and riding a fat monster rushing in. The god king of the Dragon Valley was chopped off with a knife, and then took the dragon head and left..."
After Qin Mu got the news, he came back and told Blind Granny Si and Master Ma about it. They all looked at each other in bewilderment.
This is really weird.
What happened last night seemed like a dream. In the darkness, the stone statue conveyed orders, the statue of the Heavenly King picked up a knife to kill the dragon, and the dragon unicorn was ridden like a horse all night. Now the survivors of Daxu here still say that the sea appeared upside down in the sky and the dragon god and dragon king had their heads chopped off.
Putting these things together shows that what happened last night was true.
"The stone statue that delivered the imperial edict last night said that His Majesty delivered the imperial edict from Wuyou Township. There is a big problem here."
An old voice came from Granny Si's mouth, saying: "I think..."
"Amitabha!"
Lord Ma transformed himself into a giant Buddha to suppress Granny Si's mind. On the other side, the blind man also took action to freeze Granny Si. The two of them were very nervous and finally suppressed Granny Si's evil nature.
Qin Mu also wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and urged, "Hurry up and get to the Great Leiyin Temple as soon as possible, lest the great leader Li jump out to cause trouble again!"
Everyone rushed forward and they saw the Dragon Valley not long after they walked away. There were countless dragon statues in the Dragon Valley, surrounding a large lake. In the center of the lake was a statue of the Dragon King.
At this moment, many of the dragon statues surrounding the lake collapsed. The collapsed dragon statues were all beheaded by a single knife, and their heads rolled to the ground. The statue of the Dragon King in the center of the lake also had its head chopped off, and its head disappeared.
“Oh my god…”
Granny Si slowly woke up, and when she saw this scene, she groaned, "This ruins is so mysterious. Are these stone statues just statues of gods or are they the incarnations of living gods? I really don't understand..."
"Amitabha!"
Buddha light shone brightly around Ma Ye, and a white-robed monk flew out from his brows, flashed and flew into Granny Si's brows, sat down and said solemnly, "Don't delay any longer, I can't control him anymore! Sect Leader Li's soul merged with Granny Si very quickly, and his cultivation has already broken through to the realm of life and death! If we delay any further, I'm afraid it won't be long before they completely merge, and Sect Leader Li will be able to completely take over and become the master of this body!"
The blind man said in a deep voice: "How long can you suppress him?"
Master Ma shook his head and said, "I can still calm her down for now, but I'm afraid that if I use too much force, I might hurt Grandma's soul."
The blind man said decisively: "Hurry up!"
