Old Stuff

Chapter 419 Old Guys

“Mu’er, don’t go to stop Shangcang this time.” Granny Si whispered.

Qin Mu was busy refining elixirs to feed the dragon. He was going on a long journey this time and needed to prepare more elixirs. He was slightly startled when he heard this and smiled, "Mother-in-law, I invited them here, how can I not go?"

Granny Si shook her head and said, "You are only at the Liuhe realm. If you don't go, they won't gossip. In this battle, I'm afraid that the Heavens will come out in full force. There are not only the Four Lords of Heaven, but also other gods... If we lose, you go back to Daxu and never come out again in this life."

Qin Mu was dejected and was about to speak when the village chief's voice suddenly came from a distance: "Old Lady Si, don't worry about him, just let him follow!"

Granny Si caught a glimpse of the village chief and a group of old men and women laughing and talking happily, and she couldn't help but get angry: "Mu'er's cultivation is still low, it's useless for him to go!"

"Why didn't it work?"

The village chief looked back and said with a smile, "Someone has to collect the bodies, right, grandma?"

Granny Si was slightly startled and stopped talking.

Someone has to collect the bodies, no matter if they are enemies or our own.

From a distance came the sound of a group of old men and women laughing. The village chief was chatting happily with his old friends. Tu Xingfeng talked about their embarrassing moments in the past, which made everyone laugh so hard that the old men and women's faces flushed with laughter.

There are many stories between them. They fought side by side and experienced life and death. There are always many memories worth recalling. Since the village chief became disabled, his ambitions were depressed. He became an old disabled man in the disabled village. There was no trace of the emperor in the world. His comrades also became depressed and no longer appeared in the world or interacted with each other.

Now, the village chief is back, and they have been invited to come. Even though they are old, the reunion with old friends seems to bring them back to the passionate days.

Qin Mu looked at them. These happy old people had their own personalities. Some of them were not cheerful people. For example, Qingyou Shanren looked at everyone as if they owed him money, but now they were all smiling.

Each of them has an extremely high status. Some are the patriarchs of underground races, some are immortals who are high above, some are big monsters in temples who accept offerings from the world, and some carry their people and roam freely in the sea.

People who have nothing in common are brought together because of the seal of the Human Emperor.

The village chief was in high spirits, and said to everyone: "Let the blood in your heart burn, relive the past, and beat him to pieces together!"

Qingyou Shanren laughed so hard that tears streamed down his cheeks: "Burn your ass! Your life span is next year, right? Can you still burn it?"

"Do the immortals in Xiaoyujing also swear? If you have the guts, try swearing in Xiaoyujing! Qingyou, you won't be able to burn for many more years, and you'll be finished like me soon!"

A group of old guys laughed loudly and stamped their feet. Liu Xian laughed so hard that his eyes narrowed into a line and he panted, "Do you remember those days? When it came to fighting, Xiao Qingzi ran the fastest, not to fight, but to hide!"

"You're no better than me. You always curl up in a ball!"

The old guys laughed again, and started to expose each other's shortcomings: "Xiao Qingzi also likes Fairy Xueqi, and the one she chased back then was called Huan!"

"Yes, yes, I remember this. This guy is so shameless! Ugh!"

"When Fairy Xueqi died in battle that day, Xiao Qingzi cried like a tearful person."

No one laughed when this was said. Suddenly, Qingyou Shanren burst into tears. Tuxingfeng, who had made the atmosphere extremely awkward, scratched his messy hair and suddenly sighed, "I remembered Taoist Lufeng. I had the best relationship with him. He died for me. He blocked the opponent's fatal blow for me..."

Everyone fell silent. After a while, these old guys started laughing again, and the awkwardness just now disappeared.

Qin Mu shook his head and activated the Dragon Taming Technique. The dragons changed their shapes and turned into huge monsters that were several miles long. Everyone climbed onto the backs of the dragons.

The villa is empty.

They rode the dragon to the Great Ruins. The butcher on the dragon's back threw jars of wine to them. These old-generation warriors drank from the jars. Laughter could be heard from time to time. The butcher held the jar high and laughed, saying, "We must drink three hundred cups at once!"

On the back of another dragon, the cripple cried loudly: "I am not a noble guest like you. I am just a small-time thief. Why should I be a hero with you?"

Old Rulai looked at Master Ma and whispered, "The Great Leiyin Temple still needs you. Go back. I'll be here for you."

Master Ma said calmly: "You are Tathagata, and I am also Tathagata. You know my intentions."

The old Tathagata was slightly startled, and said: "What if you and I can't come back? What will happen to the Great Leiyin Temple? What will happen to Buddhism?"

Master Ma put his hands together, with twenty different expressions on his face: "I will not fail the Buddha Dharma, I will not fail you."

The old Tathagata immediately understood his intention: "Good. Whether the Tathagata is present or not, the Dharma is there. It does not exist because of the Tathagata, nor does it perish because of the Tathagata. If you understand it thoroughly, you are the Tathagata. If you don't understand it thoroughly, you are a fake monk."

Qin Mu and the village chief were on the back of a dragon. Qin Mu kept looking at the village chief. Finally, he couldn't help but whispered, "Village chief, has the sacred bridge been repaired?"

The village chief's wrinkled old face showed a trace of smile, and he said, "How can it be so easy? Repairing the God Bridge consists of three steps, and each step is extremely difficult. The first step is the Magpie Bridge Skill, the second is the Mysterious Induction Skill, and the third is the God Ferry Skill. I have now cultivated to the Mysterious Induction Skill, which is considered fast. Qingyou, is your God Bridge repaired?"

Qingyou Shanren shook his head: "Still on the Xuanyin Jue."

The village chief joked with great joy: "If you try to stop God this time, you might die!"

The man from Qingyou Mountain cursed angrily, "You old immortal, you will curse me!"

The village chief laughed loudly: "The old fellow Demon Patriarch is still on his way here!" Everyone laughed loudly again, very happy.

The sun sets and it gets darker.

God.

An obscure and difficult-to-understand voice came from above the altar. This was the divine language, with ups and downs in the tone, unlike the sound that humans could make. Qiao Xingjun, Hua Jun, and Yan Xingjun listened respectfully. When the divine language stopped, the three Juns each stepped back a few steps, and said in unison with great respect: "Respect the decree."

All was calm at the altar.

The three kings at the altar looked solemn and said nothing. After a while, Yan Xingjun couldn't help but said, "Do you really want to do this? If you do this, I'm afraid that not many people in the entire Yankang Kingdom will be able to survive..."

“It has to be done.”

Qiao Xingjun said in a deep voice: "Yankang Kingdom has become powerful. Emperor Yanfeng forged a divine weapon to kill Yu Jun. The emperor has changed generations, the law is changing, and the way is changing. This has angered the higher-ups. If we don't do it, we can't protect ourselves. Compared with those lowly races in the lower realms, our own lives are the most important!"

Hua Jun said: "But that's countless lives..."

"No need to say more."

Qiao Xingjun had a blank expression on his face. He raised his hand and said, "We just need to fulfill our own duties. We don't care about right or wrong or cause and effect. Wake up the gods in heaven. There will be a battle in the lower world."

Yan Xingjun and Huajun looked solemn. Yan Xingjun came to the horn beside the altar and blew it. Suddenly, the heavy and long sound of the horn spread throughout the sky.

Beep, beep——

In the sky, there are towering mountains and many rare and exotic animals roaming among the mountains, but the most eye-catching are the huge and majestic statues.

They were statues of gods, all strange and bizarre. As the horn sounded, suddenly the surfaces of the statues began to crack, and the stones were rapidly degenerating. Some turned into dead skin and fell off, while others turned into flesh and blood skin texture.

Suddenly, a stone statue half bent and half knelt, smashed its huge fist on the ground, and slowly stood up.

Then, among the towering mountains, the stone statues came back to life, opened their eyes one after another, and the divine light in their eyes shot straight into the sky.

Qiao Xingjun's eyes were like lightning. He swept around and shouted in a deep voice: "Guide, build the bridge——"

In the sky above, on a long golden bridge, the guiding priest stood there, turning the golden compass in front of him. The compass became brighter and brighter, and suddenly a golden light shot out from the center of the compass, turning into a golden rainbow bridge that passed through the barrier between heaven and the underworld.

The corners of Qiao Xingjun's eyes twitched, and he gritted his teeth and said, "All gods, listen to my orders, go down to the world!"

One after another, gods and men rose into the sky and transformed into rays of light that flew out of the sky along the light bridge. Suddenly, bright and dazzling stars streaked across the sky in the Western Land.

That night, eighteen flying stars, trailing long rays of light, broke through the sky and flew eastward.

On a night in Daxu, heavy snow fell. The young ancestor and the law enforcement elder sat in a ruin, lighting a bonfire, and the fire illuminated the surrounding night.

“It’s snowing.”

The law enforcement elder looked up and saw snowflakes drifting in from the darkness and falling around them: "This winter seems to be particularly long."

The young master used a fire stick to poke the firewood to make it burn more vigorously. The bonfire crackled and sparks floated up along the smoke.

"Not bad. It's already the New Year, right?"

The young ancestor smiled and said, "After the New Year, it will slowly get warmer."

At this moment, a voice suddenly came, saying with a smile: "Make the fire burn brighter, I want to warm myself by the fire, too."

The two looked back and saw a man wearing a conical hat walking out of the darkness and coming to the ruins. This man had only nine fingers and was exhaling bursts of mist from under the hat.

"Fellow Daoist Ling Jing." The young ancestor stood up hurriedly and greeted him.

Taoist Ling Jing returned the greeting, took off his bamboo hat, stretched out his hands to warm the fire, his eyes flickered: "Daoist Tianmo, are you also going to meet me in response to the call of the Human Emperor Seal?"

The young ancestor shook his head: "I am not meeting them, but I already know what happened and am waiting here. Even if I can't wait for them, I can stop the gods from heaven first. Fellow Daoist Ling Jing, what about you?"

Taoist Ling Jing smiled and said, "I hesitated for a long time. I don't get along with many people, including the old Sword God. Look at this finger, it was cut off by him. But later I figured it out. If I don't keep the promise made by the ancestors of the human race, I will be ashamed of being a human being, so I am still ready to attend the meeting."

"Then you don't have to."

The young ancestor smiled and said, "Just wait for them here. If they can't make it in time, we can delay them for a while."

Taoist Ling Jing nodded. The three of them stopped talking.

At midnight, the snow stopped, and suddenly, brilliant stars appeared in the sky, moving from west to east.

The young ancestor smiled at the law enforcement elder and said, "Take my and fellow Daoist Ling Jing's ashes back with you, if you can still find our remains."

The law enforcement elder bowed down and said, "I'll take you two!"

He raised his head and saw that the young ancestor and Taoist Ling Jing had disappeared. Two rays of light appeared in the sky, rising obliquely towards the eighteen moving stars.
