When Does Sophora Japonica Flower Bloom?
Chapter 460 When Will the Sophora Flower Bloom?
"Sister Mu's poison skills have reached a level beyond the reach of nature and are beyond the comprehension of gods and ghosts."
Qin Mu couldn't help but admire that Mu Yingxue's attainments in the art of poison had surpassed his. She really had an extraordinary understanding in this area, and she had come up with unique ideas in studying the art of poison.
After that fight with me, she must have absorbed some of the pharmacist's ideas and walked her own path, which is why she was able to defeat Yu Qingchan so easily.
The pharmacist's attainments in the art of poison are extraordinary, but Qin Mu's main focus was healing and saving lives, and he did not study poison much, so it was natural that he was surpassed by Mu Yingxue.
If he were to fight Yu Qingchan, with the poison on the ring, Qin Mu would need to use the Creation Power in the Dayu Tianmo Sutra to change the toxicity. Although his philosophy was the same as Mu Yingxue's, his attainments in the animism of all things were not as high as Mu Yingxue's, so it would take a lot more time.
He could defeat Yu Qingchan, but it would never be as easy as Mu Yingxue.
Of course, Qin Mu is a practitioner of both medicine and poison, and using his medical skills to make up for his poison skills has an unexpected miraculous effect. If a life-and-death fight really comes, it is hard to say who will win between him and Mu Yingxue.
Mu Yingxue jumped down from the stage, but she still didn't touch the ground. A green vine automatically grew out of the ground, and a large vine leaf supported her body.
The girl stretched out her hand to Qin Mu, who held her hand and was pulled onto the vine.
The green vines under their feet grew taller and taller, lifting them up high. Mu Yingxue waved to the people below the stage, full of joy and pride: "You see, we poison refiners can also find our ideal husbands. My little man, the Lord of the Middle-earth Demon Sect, is very powerful!"
There was a cheer from below.
A girl laughed loudly and said, "Poison Master, you went to Middle-earth and found your ideal person. When will you take us to Middle-earth as well?"
Mu Yingxue said excitedly: "After my little man's business is done, I will take you to Middle-earth and bring disaster to the men of Middle-earth women!"
Another girl said, "I heard that men are superior to women in the Middle Earth. It is really a backward region. Let's go and correct them!"
"Yes! Correct them!"
Another girl laughed and said, "The poison master finally found his sweetheart, so he must celebrate!"
The laughter of many girls was heard, and suddenly a group of young girls rushed out from somewhere, beating waist drums, tapping their feet to the beat, singing and dancing.
Leishan City suddenly became lively, with many young boys and girls holding hands and walking shoulder to shoulder on the streets, singing Western folk songs.
Those with supernatural powers activated the supernatural powers of the West, and green vines and poisonous flowers and weeds grew wildly all over the city. Some of the men and women who practiced poison techniques wandered among the flowers and plants, singing folk songs to each other, while others stood on the rising vines and danced with the man or girl they liked opposite them.
There were loud gong and drum sounds below, and a clear song pierced the sky. Qin Mu stood on the vine and looked down, only to see a huge green toad with a white belly coming from the end of the street, occupying the entire street. A group of big-eared opossums followed behind the big toad, propping up the metallic scales on their bodies, and many toad monsters followed around, accompanying them with the accompaniment of cooing.
The toad monsters quickly stuck out their tongues and hit the opossum's scales, making a crisp clanging sound.
There were also many toad monsters dancing, beating gongs and drums, some were playing the flute with four fingers quickly, and several large centipedes were kicking their legs and twisting their bodies on the ground.
From time to time, a centipede would fly up and kick the toad monster on its bulging cheeks, and the toad monster would make a croaking sound.
Above the green-skinned toad's head, a beautiful young girl slowly stood up, her black skirt spinning, and she sang loudly: "High up on the mountain, there is a locust tree. I hold the railing and look forward to my lover. My mother asked my daughter, what are you looking at? I look at the locust flowers, when will they bloom? -
…
The light on the ground is like rain without warmth, and the stars in the world are like little stars. The locust flowers woke up early, and the daughter asked her mother, "What are you asking?" She was as shy as the locust flowers, and it was hard to open her mouth.
Qin Mu listened attentively. Although the green vine had grown very high, the magnificent scene of the whole city rejoicing still came into his eyes. The wonderful music and soaring singing still rushed into his ears.
The passion of the Western girl surged like a surging wave, wrapping him tightly and pouring into his heart.
The green vine suddenly swooped down carrying him and Mu Yingxue, passing through the streets. They were surrounded by dancing people, strange goblins, and poisonous creatures. The people's flamboyant dance moves, chaotic dance steps, and raised palms collided with his and Mu Yingxue's outstretched hands.
The melody that filled the entire Leishan City suddenly became high-pitched and passionate, bright and cheerful. He seemed to have come to a mythical country. The huge green vines carried him and the girl beside him through the streets and alleys of this western border town, and passing by were people celebrating.
The green vines carried them back, spinning their bodies and rising slowly. Girls on the trees stepped on the green leaves and hung wreaths around their necks.
Some girls lay on the treetops, with their slender legs playfully raised and swaying, watching them rising from under the trees, holding their cheeks with their hands and singing touching love songs, while a group of locusts rested on their hind legs and beat a small gong beside her.
The green vine extended into the city, leaped over the bustling street scene, flew over the streets and round houses, and came to Mu Yingxue's palace.
In the attic of the palace, a window opened, and the green vine brought the boy and girl on the vine leaves into the room.
Qin Mu and Mu Yingxue stood in front of the window, and saw the cheerful crowd coming to the street below, continuing to sing and dance, with bursts of singing and loud gongs and drums.
They were still celebrating a big happy event in Leishan City, celebrating that Leishan City's poison master Mu Yingxue had finally found his lover.
“It’s so embarrassing.”
Mu Yingxue covered her face and spat, "They are celebrating like this, as if I can't find my ideal partner and they can't wait to send me to a marriage proposal!"
Qin Mu looked at her. This girl who was number one in the poison sect of the Western Land was not shy at all. Instead, she was very bold and fiery. The slight shyness in her heart was diluted by her fiery passion.
He was a little overwhelmed by the enthusiasm of the girl from the West, and a little intoxicated by the intoxicating morning in Leishan City.
Confused and infatuated.
The celebration did not stop until the afternoon. Mu Yingxue could not hide her excitement. She leaned on Qin Mu's shoulder, looking very happy.
Long Qilin walked carefully through the streets covered with poisonous flowers and leaves, looked up at the young man and girl who were still standing at the window, and whispered: "That's how the ancestor fell in the Western Land. The old man who doesn't cultivate has to leave me and come to the Western Land every year..."
Qin Mu finally woke up from his gentle state and said, "Sister Mu, we still have important things to do."
Mu Yingxue blushed slightly, pinching the corner of her clothes and said, "It's the evening before the marriage ceremony. Why are you so anxious? Can't you be patient? But if you are in a hurry, I... can't be in a hurry! I can't accommodate you. Here, women are superior to men, and men must accommodate women!"
Qin Mu blinked his eyes, waited patiently for her to finish, and said: "Sister, I came to the Western Land this time to help Xiong Xiyu and Xiong Qier regain the position of the Lord of the True Heaven Palace, so I caused such a big commotion. This should have been your family affair in the Western Land, and I shouldn't have interfered. However, when Xiong Xiyu was overthrown by the Yu family, so many people in the Xiong family died, and you are also deeply involved."
Mu Yingxue nodded, and ordered people to invite Long Qilin and Xiong Qier to come up. She continued to stay by his side and said, "When the Yu family attacked the Xiong family, I did play a big role. There was a father in the Yu family who had a very scary background. I had no choice but to agree to the Yu family to poison the Xiong family. But the poison I used was not a life-threatening poison, as you know."
Qin Mu nodded. The poison Mu Yingxue had given him was a silk-binding poison, which crippled a person's cultivation but did not harm their life. When Qin Mu met Xiong Xiyu, she was poisoned by the silk-binding poison, which severely damaged her cultivation. She was hunted down by Yu Bochuan and his men, and was in a miserable state.
Mu Yingxue said with a gloomy face: "I didn't expect that the Yu family would be so cruel and uproot the Xiong family from head to toe... However, even though I knew that the Yu family would kill them, I could only poison the Xiong family."
Qin Mu looked puzzled.
Mu Yingxue sighed, "The lives of our Mu family and Leishan City depend on me. If I don't obey, the Yu family will attack my Mu family and Leishan City. As a poison master, I need to consider my Mu family. Nai Kui hates me, right?"
She showed a trace of guilt, but then concealed it and returned to her usual cold expression, saying, "Even if she hates me, there's nothing I can do. I can't risk my life for her."
Qin Mu said: "Sister, you should know what my purpose is this time, right?"
Mu Yingxue is the patriarch of the Mu family after all, so she is well-informed. She nodded and said, "I know. From the moment you set foot in the Western Land and the True Heaven Palace issued a wanted notice for you, I knew your intention. The Heavenly Demon Sect Leader has lofty ambitions and will not risk his life to go to the Western Land just for his children's love affairs. You are not here for me, nor for a marriage, but to accomplish a great cause."
Her temperament suddenly changed, becoming fierce: "You want to turn the Western Land upside down and change the world for the Western Land! Your ambition is to bring the Western Land under the rule of Yankang State! And the fastest way to achieve this goal is to support Xiong Xiyu to become the Palace Master of Zhentian Palace! Xiong Xiyu has nothing and has a deep blood feud, so she has no choice but to agree to you and the conditions of your Emperor Yankang. After she becomes the Palace Master again, Zhentian Palace will announce its incorporation into Yankang."
Qin Mu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. After he came to the Western Land, he met many extraordinary women, including the graceful but wise He Yiyi, and the cunning mother and daughter of the Liu family. They were all outstanding and had extraordinary vision and knowledge.
And Mu Yingxue in front of him is also so outstanding.
Mu Yingxue said: "I do owe the Xiong family a lot, but I will never owe the Xiong family anything at the cost of my Mu family's life and property! You have never seen Ba Gou, so you don't know how powerful he is, but I know. I know how terrifying he is, and I also know that there are living gods in the Zhentian Palace. No matter how powerful you are, no matter how many masters from the Western Land you gather, you can't win, you are just going to die!"
Qin Mu stood up and said sadly: "I shouldn't have come here."
Mu Yingxue's heart trembled, and she stood up and said, "I want you to stay, so you don't have to die. But if you want to leave, I won't keep you. A woman from the West will not keep a man who is determined to leave!"
Qin Mu bowed and said, "Sister Mu, goodbye." Then he turned and walked downstairs.
"you!"
Mu Yingxue gritted her teeth and said loudly: "You will die, do you know that?"
Qin Mu turned around and smiled: "When I rescued them, I knew that I might die if I rescued them rashly, but I still did it. Sister, I won't kidnap you and ask you to do anything for me."
Mu Yingxue was very anxious and stamped her feet, saying, "Even if you die, I won't miss you!"
Qin Mu laughed loudly and greeted Long Qilin and Xiong Qier who were going up the stairs.
"I've been to this land of peace and tranquility. Fatty Long, let's go!"
Long Qilin was puzzled, but he still ran downstairs and carried them out of the city.
"Brother-in-law?" A girl on the street looked up and stared blankly at Qin Mu's leaving back.
Qin Mu threw a sachet to the girl and chanted loudly: "Three thousand merits must be passed on to others, and the elixir will rise up when it turns nine times. The years are spent in a busy way, and I am stupid and my nature has not changed! Sister, just pretend that I have never been here!" Note ②
Mu Yingxue stared at him in a daze as he walked out of Leishan City until his figure disappeared.
She walked downstairs and saw Leishan City in a mess, with traces of the morning's celebration everywhere. Some toad monsters were sorting out debris on the streets and dragging away drunk residents.
At the corner of the street, several girls looked at her. One girl said boldly, "Sister, my brother-in-law..."
"He's gone."
Mu Yingxue heard herself say in a strange tone: "He probably won't come back..."
She touched her face and found that her cheeks were wet without her noticing.
"My brother-in-law just gave this to me. It should be my sister's thing." The girl Qin Mu met came over, holding a sachet embroidered with mandarin ducks in gold thread.
Mu Yingxue opened the sachet and took out a handful of bright red acacia beans.
Note ①: Sichuan love song, "When Will the Sophora Flower Bloom", was handed down from the Qing Dynasty and is known as the divine song of southern Sichuan, the first divine song, with beautiful rhythm. Zhaizhu searched for this song for a long time, so there was no update at noon.
Note ②: Song Taizong’s poem, “Yuanshi”, is a poem that expounds on one’s nature and will. “I am originally foolish, but my surname remains unchanged” is the finishing touch.
Ps: I was disliked by everyone for posting photos before, and there were too many complaints. A few days ago, I only posted a seating chart for everyone at the annual meeting, which made everyone resentful again! Okay, I will show you the most handsome photo I took this year.
