Visitors From Heaven, Feelings Like Poetry

Chapter 342: Visitors from Heaven, Feelings Like Poetry

The dragon unicorn wagged its tail and said flatteringly, "I am more majestic than it."

Qin Mu was speechless. How could riding on a big meat ball with a tail be so majestic?

He eats better and more than anyone else, but he can't even outrun the blue ox. Now he can't even catch up with a dog!

"Master, do you dislike me?"

Long Qilin turned around and said with tears in his eyes: "You must dislike me, right?"

Qin Mu snorted, with a hint of tenderness between his eyebrows: "No. The New Year will be here in a few months. How could I dislike you? How about I give you two buckets of Red Fire Spirit Pills every day? Eat more and get fatter."

Long Qilin shuddered. Xiong Qier clumsily climbed onto his head and carefully grabbed a strand of mane behind his ear to prevent it from falling off. She whispered in his ear, "Don't eat it. You'll be killed during the New Year!"

Long Qilin cried and whispered, "I know! But I just can't control myself..."

Xiaoyujing is far away from the Dao Gate, and it is in the sky. At the speed of Long Qilin, it takes more than ten days to get there. Qin Mu sat on a rocking chair, placed it on the broad back of Long Qilin, and put the village chief on the rocking chair. Although Long Qilin is fat, it has an advantage that it runs very steadily, so there is no need to worry about the village chief falling off.

Xiong Xiyu occasionally accompanied the village chief to drink tea, and when Qin Mu passed by the city, he would go down to buy some elixirs to continue to treat her injuries. And she did not break her promise and passed on the Ten Thousand Gods Natural Skill of the True Heaven Palace to Qin Mu.

The Ten Thousand Gods Natural Power takes the true meaning that all things have spirits and gods. The cultivation method of the Zhentian Palace in the West is different from that of the Central Plains, but it is somewhat similar to that of Taoism, both of which are close to nature. However, Taoism is about studying mathematics and following the laws of nature, while the Zhentian Palace emphasizes the interaction of all things and the manifestation of souls.

The skills of Zhentian Palace cultivate extremely powerful sensing abilities and at the same time give souls to all things.

Qin Mu pondered it and felt that this technique was indeed suitable for women to practice. Women's minds were more delicate and their perceptions were more acute, and they were naturally better than men. If he practiced it himself, he could improve his sensitivity, but it was not very meaningful to him. The real usefulness lay in the method of creation contained in it.

Endowing all things with souls is also a method of creation. Compared with the seven chapters of creation in the Dayu Tianmo Sutra, the Natural Power of All Gods is more direct and more exquisite, and some useful things can be learned from it.

"This kind of technique from the True Heaven Palace doesn't seem like something from this era."

When Xiong Xiyu taught him the Ten Thousand Gods Natural Skill, the village chief also listened and pondered over it, then said, "Palace Master Xiong, the skills of your True Heaven Palace are somewhat ancient and are also quite different from those of the Kaihuangji. When did the True Heaven Palace originate?"

Xiong Xiyu shook her head and said, "I don't know about that. I just became the Palace Master when the Yu Family rebelled and seized power. I didn't have time to check the records of my True Heaven Palace. However, my True Heaven Palace is extremely ancient and has a long history. I once heard my grandma say that our True Heaven Palace is even older than the Holy Land in the Middle Earth..."

She looked gloomy, but then she cheered up: "If you can help me take back the power of the True Heaven Palace, I will take over the True Heaven Palace again, and the palace books will be available for you to read!"

The village chief yawned, squinted his eyes and fell asleep. Xiong Xiyu looked at Qin Mu, who was teasing Xiong Qier, drawing a few birds with a pen. The birds flew out of the paper, chirping around the little girl, making Xiong Qier giggle.

Xiong Xiyu sighed and stopped talking.

Qin Mu and the village chief obviously had no intention of helping her return to the West to seize power. Going to the Zhentian Palace to seize power was a muddy journey, and she couldn't offer more benefits to attract the two.

"The only way now is to go to the Imperial Academy of Yankang State to serve as the Imperial Academy, hoping to have a detailed discussion with the Imperial Master of Yankang."

Her eyes flickered as she pondered, "But judging from the actions of Imperial Master Yankang, he will most likely not stop expanding after conquering the grasslands, and the northern snowfields will not be able to stop him. Will annexing the snowfields and the western lands also be among his goals? Talking to him would most likely be courting disaster..."

She hesitated, then remembered that she and her daughter were the only ones left in the Xiong family, and her heart hardened again: "The Yu family has exterminated my Xiong family. I must avenge this blood feud no matter what, even if it means inviting a wolf into the house. This vengeance must be avenged!"

Qin Mu glanced at her. The Western Land is ruled by women. Judging from her means, Xiong Xiyu is not suitable to be the princess of the Zhentian Palace. She does not have enough courage and ability.

The reason why Qin Mu had no intention of helping her was because she lacked the ability. Even if she regained control of the Western Heavenly Palace, she would not be able to sit still. As a strong man who opened the Divine Bridge and the Divine Treasure, Xiong Xiyu was strong enough, but controlling a holy land was not as simple as having enough strength.

Xiong Xiyu had just ascended to the position of Palace Master when the Xiong family suffered a crushing defeat. They were hunted down and killed by the Yu family, and they had no power to fight back at all. From this point of view, it was obvious that Xiong Xiyu was not a qualified Palace Master.

The reason why Qin Mu recommended her to teach at the Imperial Academy was to give her the opportunity to meet the Imperial Master Yankang. Imperial Master Yankang was ambitious and capable. If Xiong Xiyu wanted to use him to take revenge, she would have to pay a high price.

And these have nothing to do with Qin Mu.

Suddenly, the village chief opened his eyes and looked into the distance in surprise.

Qin Mu's heart was slightly moved: "Village Chief, what's wrong?"

"Someone challenged me to a fight. An old rival."

The village chief raised his eyebrows, not caring about it, and said, "Don't pay attention to them. Xiaoyujing is almost here, let's go to Xiaoyujing first."

"An invitation to fight?"

Qin Mu was stunned: "Challenging the village chief to a fight? Aren't you afraid of being beaten to death?"

At this moment, Xu Shenghua in Xiaoyujing suddenly stood up and looked into the distance with a puzzled look. The old Taoist master and the old Tathagata were also here, and they also felt something and looked towards the direction of Qingmen Pass.

"These auras are very strong."

A blind man leaning on a bamboo stick asked in surprise: "Old Butcher, did you sense it?"

The butcher was using a butcher knife to pick his nails. He raised his eyebrows and said, "These guys are quite capable. I'm curious about where they came from."

Yu Liu and the other girls did not sense anything unusual and asked in confusion, "Sir, what's wrong?"

"My master and his men have gone to the lower world."

Xu Shenghua was surprised and said, "There are so many gods in the lower world. Could it be that something happened in heaven?"

The old Tathagata smiled and said, "Master Xu, they are releasing their aura, and it seems that they are challenging someone. It should not be that something happened to the Heaven."

Xu Shenghua pondered, "Challenge someone? Then this person can only be a master like the Old Man Emperor or Yankang Imperial Master. Although Yankang Imperial Master is known as the number one person under the gods, he does not have the qualification, so it can only be the Old Man Emperor. Qingyou Hermit, thank you for your hospitality and I will take my leave now."

Qingyou Shanren tried to persuade him to stay, "Mr. Xu, why don't you stay a few more days? Although our Xiaoyujing is not as good as your Shangcang, it is also a rare and quiet place."

Xu Shenghua said: "I have seen Xiao Yujing's unique skills these days, which has opened my eyes and benefited me a lot. But my mentor came to invite me to fight the Human Emperor, so I have to go."

The quiet hermit no longer tried to keep him.

Xu Shenghua led Jingyan, Yuliu and the other four girls down the mountain in a hurry, and came to a pleasure boat. They boarded the boat, which sailed in the sky as smooth as a water mirror, creating ripples and sailing away. When they left Xiaoyujing, the water mirror-like sky disappeared, and the ripples disappeared, turning into the real sky.

The pleasure boat was sailing in the sky, gradually going away.

The butcher winked at the blind man, who smiled and said, "I can't see your glances, I'm blind. Brother Qingyou, old Taoist priest, old monk, we two brothers are going down the mountain too."

Qingyou Shanren hurriedly said, "Both brothers are enlightened people. Why don't you stay in Xiaoyujing? The world is so dirty, why bother to wade into the muddy water?"

The butcher shook his butcher knife, which swelled in the wind and became as big as a door panel. He carried it on his shoulder and said with a smile, "I am a butcher. Will you allow me to open a butcher shop here? If I can't make money by selling meat, I will starve to death."

Qingyou Shanren's face froze, and he was about to ask him to stay, but the blind man bowed and said, "The spring scenery in the garden cannot be contained, so why do we need to know each other before we meet? A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold! Senior Brother Qingyou, please stay!"

Qingyou Shanren was stunned, trying to understand what these three lines of poetry meant, when the butcher and the blind man had already walked out of Xiaoyujing.

The butcher's voice came from the sky of the water mirror: "Blind man, the first sentence of your poem just now means that we have the intention to leave, right? So the spring scenery cannot be contained, and the small jade capital cannot keep us. The second poem should be a polite remark, saying that we met by chance, talked about the wind, flowers, snow and night, talked about Taoism and magical powers, and made friends. The third sentence is extraordinary, saying that we have urgent matters and must leave as soon as possible, so every moment is worth a thousand gold. Am I right?"

The blind man's smug voice came: "Old Butcher, you are indeed my soulmate! These three lines of my poem are exactly what I meant. The deaf guy always says that I am flirtatious, but in fact, how can he understand my talent?"

The butcher was very impressed and praised: "You are indeed becoming more and more talented. Your emotions are like poetry, and you stunned the hermit! The old Taoist priest and the big monk were also dumbfounded!"

Hermit Qingyou was stunned, and the old Taoist master and old Tathagata were also dumbfounded.

Not long after the butcher and the blind man left, a voice suddenly came from afar: "The contemporary emperor of mankind has come to visit Xiaoyujing!"

Hermit Qingyou was greatly shocked and did not dare to delay. He quickly rang the bronze bell. The bell sounded melodiously, and old men with Taoist temperaments from each fairy mountain in Xiaoyujing walked out, flew over, and came to Hermit Qingyou with immortal aura.

Everyone looked up at the sky above the water mirror, and saw a large black seal flying from the sky above the water mirror, creating ripples along the way.

Qingyou Shanren shook his sleeves, as if to shake off the dust, but in fact this Xiaoyujing is a holy land of immortals, so how could there be dust?

Qingyou Hermit took a step forward, raised his hands above his head, and the plain black seal fell into his hands. Qingyou Hermit took a step back and put his hands down. Other old immortals from Xiaoyujing came forward to watch, their faces solemn.

"The Human Emperor's Seal! The Human Emperor has arrived, and we are looking forward to seeing you!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a pot-bellied dragon unicorn was seen dragging its big belly and walking carefully in the water mirror sky, its belly pressed against the surface of the water mirror, creating ripples.

A cute little girl leaned over the dragon unicorn's ear and whispered, "Fatty Long, hold your stomach in."

The dragon Qilin lifted its belly up, held its head high and chest out, and walked like a dragon and a tiger. But it didn't walk far before its belly went out of control again and hit the water mirror with a thud.
