Kodama Kyo's Quest for the Way

Chapter 524: Xiaoyujing Seeking the Truth

Two days later, Ling Yuxiu returned to the capital and waited for the emperor's arrangements. She accompanied Qin Mu and sent him to the Tiansheng Academy before returning to the capital.

Tiansheng Academy was Granny Si's villa. After the battle with Xing'an, Granny Si, the dumb man, the blind man, the pharmacist and others lived here. The emperor wanted to open four major palaces as the highest institutions of learning besides Taixue Academy. The president, guardian and king of Tiansheng Church in the court fought for it, so Tiansheng Academy was established. Qin Mu then built Tiansheng Academy here.

There are many people from the Tiansheng Sect in the court now, from the national teacher and the Duke of Weiguo to the local yamen runners and errand boys, so there is no need for Qin Mu to fight for it himself, as someone will help him.

Granny Si, the dumb man, and the blind man also became imperial students of the Tiansheng Academy and occasionally taught there. Other imperial students were also often the hall masters of the Tiansheng Sect.

When Qin Mu arrived at the Tiansheng Academy, it was class time. There was no one in the academy, only a group of dragons playing in the lake. When they saw Qin Mu, they were stunned at first, and then jumped onto the shore.

Qin Mu saw that the situation was not good, and immediately ran away: "Weren't these dragons brought to Shenglin Mountain by Saint Xiang to be raised? How did they come to Tiansheng Academy?"

"Maha! Maha! Maha!"

A group of dragons happily chased past the dragon unicorn and the box. After a while, Qin Mu was captured, with dragons hanging all over his body. He walked over with a tired body. More than a dozen dragons were hanging on him, their heads rubbing against his body, and their horns left bloody marks on his neck.

"Maha..." The little dragons stuck to him, squinting their eyes, and seemed drowsy.

Qin Mu's body was wet, as if he had just been fished out of the water.

Long Qilin breathed a sigh of relief, and suddenly, the group of dragons on Qin Mu all raised their heads and looked at him. Long Qilin knew something was wrong and immediately ran away.

"Maha! Maha! Maha!"

A group of dragons ran happily past the box. After a while, Qin Mu and the box saw Long Qilin crawling with great difficulty, with dragons wrapped around its neck, body and limbs.

"Maha." These dragons rubbed against the dragon unicorn, making the fat man bleed.

"Maha?" A group of dragons raised their heads and looked at the box curiously.

Box was following behind Qin Mu. He realized something was wrong and started running.

A group of dragons slid down from the dragon unicorn, leaped and charged towards the box, and shouted happily: "Maha! Maha! Maha!"

Long Qilin heaved a sigh of relief and collapsed to the ground. After a while, the box started running back with a clatter. Long Qilin and Qin Mu widened their eyes, but saw that there was no dragon on the box.

"Maha——" The box opened and more than a dozen dragon heads jumped out, shouting in unison, looking very happy.

It looks like a box of daffodils of various colors popping out.

The box was quite proud and followed them, seeming not to feel how heavy these dragons were.

"Is Mu'er back?"

When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Granny Si walked out of a teaching hall. Seeing Qin Mu, she hurriedly came up to him and said with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time. You, the chief priest, are a hands-off manager. You left these scholars here and went away, leaving us to help you watch over them..."

Qin Mu hugged her tightly, tears streaming down his face: "Mother-in-law!"

Granny Si was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Being wronged? How can the Grand Master cry? You are still the Grand Master of the Tiansheng Academy, don't cry, it will be bad for the scholars to see you. Talk to Granny, and Granny will take care of it for you."

Qin Mu felt his heart calm down. He let her go and shook his head, saying, "What's going on with these dragons? Aren't they being sent to Shenglin Mountain?"

"Xiang originally sent them to Shenglin Mountain, but later she felt that these dragons needed to eat elixirs every day, and they had to eat in different ways, which was too expensive, so she sent them back."

Granny Si said, "Girl Xiang is very stingy and keeps a close eye on the money bag of the Holy Church. But it's good to put them in the academy. The scholars are learning to make elixirs from your grandfather, the pharmacist, and the elixirs made are just right for them. Moreover, with these dragons, the academy is also very famous. Those scholars who come here to draw dragons, refine dragon-shaped spiritual weapons, or practice dragon-shaped magical powers will need them. What's wrong with you? Who has offended you? Cripple! Pharmacist! Blind man! All of you come here, Mu'er has been bullied!"

Bang.

The air roared, and the cripple suddenly appeared beside Qin Mu, asking in surprise: "Who dares to bully my Mu'er? Are you tired of living?"

Qin Mu said: "It is the First Human Emperor, a true god. Grandpa Lame..."

The cripple shuddered and turned to leave. The blind man grabbed him and said with a smile: "Cripple, are you scared?"

“I wouldn’t be afraid!”

The cripple muttered, "That bastard Xing'an isn't a true god, but he beat us up pretty badly. The First Ancestor Human Emperor is the real true god, so wouldn't it be suicide to provoke him?"

The pharmacist came over and thought, "The First Human Emperor? A true god? Can poisoning solve this problem?"

Qin Mu shook his head: "I want to defeat him fairly, at the same level as him, and even better, I want to beat him to death."

The pharmacist shuddered, shrugged, and said, "My skills are useless."

The lame man sighed: "I don't have this ability either. What about the mute?"

"The mute ran away a few days ago."

The butcher came over with his clothes gathered on his shoulders, his voice booming: "This guy slips away from time to time, and I don't know where he went. Mu'er, how capable is the true god?"

"He is better than me in every aspect. He can run faster than me, has more strength than me, his spirit and body are one, his divine eyes are better than mine, his fists are incredibly powerful, and his Taoist magic and divine powers are integrated with his body."

Qin Mu's face was gloomy: "He has already mastered the Dao in every aspect. The only thing I am stronger than him in is my magic power."

The blind man frowned and said, "Stronger than my divine eye?"

Qin Mu nodded slightly.

Even the fearless butcher frowned at this moment. After a moment, he said, "My knife skills..."

"He broke it easily."

The deaf man came over and asked, "Where is the painting?"

"No chance to perform."

"Where are the magical powers of the Tiansheng Sect?" asked Granny Si.

Qin Mu shook his head. Everyone frowned.

The lame man asked nervously, "Did you run away?"

"He caught up with me."

"Poisoning... Never mind, never mind."

The pharmacist waved his hands and said, "I am confident that I can poison a deity to death, but I am not confident that I can poison a true god who has no weaknesses."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about my affairs. I have been thinking about it quietly these days. I feel that although he seems invincible, he escaped from the battlefield that year, which shows that there are still people who are more capable than him. He is not invincible. I will definitely find a way to surpass him."

Granny Si smiled and said, "It's rare for you to come back, so just stay in the academy for a while, and we will help you think of a solution."

Qin Mu nodded and went to put his luggage away.

Granny Si, the butcher, the blind man and others gathered together and looked at his back. The butcher frowned and said, "This is the first time I see Mu'er looking so completely without confidence. He was not like this before. He was always full of confidence, but now..." He shook his head.

The blind man narrowed his eyes: "A true god, is he really that scary? Can he surpass my divine eyes? I don't believe it!"

"Practice him these few days!"

The deaf man suddenly said, "Learning without thinking is useless, thinking without learning is dangerous. He is now in the learning and thinking stage. The duel between Mu'er and the First Ancestor Human Emperor is not only a duel of cultivation strength, but also a duel of Dao heart. If he can come out of it, it will be a great improvement for his Dao heart cultivation. If he can't come out of it, I'm afraid his tyrant body will become a useless body. In the next few days, we must train him well and not let him become useless!"

Everyone nodded.

After Qin Mu settled down, he felt like he was back in the Disabled Old Village. The butcher, the blind man, the deaf man, the lame man and Granny Si would call him over from time to time and fight with him, causing chaos in the academy.

Half of the scholars in the academy are from the Tiansheng Sect, and the other scholars also come from all over the country to study in the academy. These few days have been an eye-opener, seeing the legendary skills of the scholars in the Imperial College.

A few days later, Granny Si and the others all frowned. Qin Mu was now timid and did not dare to attack. He was often beaten up by them. Occasionally he would counterattack with extremely sophisticated moves, but he would retract his attack halfway through.

The butcher was furious and beat him up, saying sternly, "Why can't you show me your moves?"

Qin Mu did not fight back, but shook his head and said, "They are all wrong..."

"Even the wrong ones must be hit out!"

Granny Si hurriedly pulled the butcher away and angrily said, "He's not in the right state, stop hitting him! What if you beat him silly?"

The deaf man nodded and said, "He has too many things accumulated in his head, and he has been thinking too much. Now he has reached a dead end and cannot get out. You can't get any results by beating him like this. When he gets out of it, he will be a great master."

The butcher glared at them: "What if we can't get out?"

Everyone was silent.

Granny Si said to Qin Mu, "Mu'er, you can't learn anything in the academy, so why don't you go out for a walk and relax."

Qin Mu nodded, packed his bags, and walked out of the academy in a daze.

The lame man followed him for a while, but saw Qin Mu walking around and nothing serious happened, so he felt relieved and returned to the academy.

That day, Qin Mu came to Yongjiang River and sat on the bank. Suddenly, he heard a voice coming from behind him: "Qin!"

Qin Mu turned around and saw a young man in luxurious clothes appearing behind him. He looked at him with horror, as if he was ready to run away at any time.

"It's the Great Master." Qin Mu turned around and continued to look at the river.

Pangong Tso was leaning on a crutch, with his other leg being a deer leg. He had originally planned to run away immediately if he was attacked, but seeing that he was still sitting by the river and had no intention of attacking him, he became bolder and approached quietly, saying, "Master Qin seems to have something on his mind? You and I are old friends. Why don't you tell me what's on your mind? Maybe I can solve your problem."

Qin Mu was bored, throwing stones into the river, and said, "I was wondering how to defeat a true god at the same level. I can't figure out the answer. Great Master, can you teach me?"

Pangong Tso's eyes lit up, and he approached little by little, smiling, "I see. You must be very sad now? Do you feel useless? Life is boring? If that's the case, then what's the point of living? Let me help you end it, hehe..."

Crash.

The river surface opened up, and the huge dragon head of the Dragon King stood upright like a mountain, with its dragon whiskers floating and hanging beside Pangong Lake.

Pangong Tso's body was stiff and his face was sallow. He turned around and left in a hurry: "Sorry to bother you, goodbye!" After saying that, he disappeared in a flash.

Huan Longjun watched him go away and shook his head, saying, "This kid is more slippery than a loach. My lord, I can't solve your troubles. Although I am a god, I don't have the ability to kill a real god."

Qin Mu sighed. On the hill behind him, the White Gap deity impatiently swung its tail and said, "I don't have the ability to do that! My Lord, can we change the hill? This hill is too small. My temple is only this high. It can't even accommodate a hoof!"

Qin Mu stood up, rode the dragon unicorn and left with the box.

"Is the Emperor Qin coming to my Little Jade Capital to achieve the Five Qi Breakthrough and Six Combinations Breakthrough?"

Qingyou Shanren hurried over to greet him, saying with a smile, "It has been a while since we had any guests in Xiaoyujing. The Wuqi Palace and Liuhe Palace have long been waiting for the arrival of the Human Emperor. Oh, there is one thing I haven't told the Human Emperor Qin yet. A few months ago, the stone statue of the first ancestor of your Human Emperor Palace came to life and left Xiaoyujing. I don't know where it went."

Qin Mu's eyes twitched, and he said, "I know about this. I've met him."

Qingyou Shanren showed a surprised look and said, "You have seen him? Then did you know that the stone statue of the woodcutter saint came to life and left Xiaoyujing?"
