Emperor's Divine Sword
Chapter 698: Emperor's Divine Sword
Qi Jiuyi slid down the wall, the shock on his face still lingering, and he stared blankly at the big head sticking out of the door.
It was a strange head with a human face but two goat horns, a tuft of goat beard on its chin, and it reeked of alcohol and burped, looking at them curiously.
Qin Mu said politely: "Senior, we are from Yankang. We came here by mistake and disturbed you. May I ask how to leave here?"
The goat-horned man gathered his clothes and walked out of the door. He was much taller than Qin Mu and Qi Jiuyi, even taller than Long Qilin. He looked serious and looked down at them. His eyes fell on Long Qilin again. He swallowed his saliva and muttered, "I haven't eaten meat for a long time. It's a pity that you are Yuanshen and don't have meat... Are you from Yankang? Where is Yankang?"
Judging from his attire, he is not a modern person, but is dressed in ancient attire.
He has a body of lean muscles. Although he is not as strong as Qingniu, he gives people a sense of capability and a terrifying sense of threat.
Moreover, he is not a goat spirit. Judging from the large and small spiral patterns on his body, he should be the soul of a god. However, the soul has already been refined into substance, so it is unknown whether it is the soul guarding this knife.
To refine the spirit into substance is no small feat, and it is obvious that his cultivation is extremely high.
Qin Mu asked in confusion: "Senior, you are from the Kaihuang era? Then do you know Daxu?"
"Daxu? Of course I know. Emperor Kai ordered me to use the divine sword Dique to cut off a corner of Youdu and use it to build Fengdu. Emperor Kai said that he wanted to carve out a Fengdu world of similar size to Daxu."
The goat-horned man was reeking of alcohol and asked, "Where is Yankang? What era is it now?"
"Senior, are you the creator of Fengdu?"
Qin Mu was shocked and said quickly: "Yankang is to the east of Daxu. The Kaihuang era has ended for 20,000 years. Yankang was founded 800 years ago, and now is the era of reform. The senior is under the command of Kaihuang..."
The goat-horned man was drunk and murmured, "It's been 20,000 years since the Kaihuang era ended? Has it been that long? Hehe, no wonder, it seems like I've been here for 7 or 8 million years... I'm the Zuo Shaobi of the Emperor Star under the Kaihuang throne, my last name is Tian and my given name is Shu. But, you don't know me when I mention it."
He turned back to his room, took out a large jar of wine, and drank the wine with his head tilted back and gulped down.
Qin Mu then noticed that his legs were not human legs, but bent sheep legs with a pair of sheep's hooves. Because he was very tall, his sheep's hooves were also very big.
"Kaihuang Heavenly Court? Tianhuang Xingdou Zuo Shaobi?"
Qi Jiuyi's face changed slightly, and he thought to himself: "The remnants of the false dynasty!"
Qin Mu asked in confusion: "Senior, you are also in the state of Yuan Shen, right? Do you live here? Then where is your physical body?"
Tian Shu drank the whole jar of wine in one gulp and smashed the bottle casually. Qin Mu immediately noticed that after the jar was broken, it quickly recovered and there was actually a full jar of wine in the jar, with a fragrant smell.
The wine jar flew into the air and returned to the room.
“It’s hard to put it into words.”
Tian Shu's face was gloomy. He went back to the room to get some wine and said drunkenly, "You are a descendant of Kaihuang, right? I can sense the aura of Kaihuang from you. You look a bit like Kaihuang. The little brat next to you should be from the so-called Nine Phoenix lineage of the Heavenly Court. Hehe, Qi Xiayu, the Red Emperor of the South Sky from the Nine Phoenix lineage, is really great, but he fell in love with that bastard Li Youran..."
He raised his head to drink again, then smashed the empty jar, and continued: "When Kaihuang refined the Dique Divine Sword, he ordered me to be the god holding the sword. I can enter and exit the Nether City freely, so he asked me to cut off a section of the Nether City to build Fengdu. So I cut off a small section of Tubo's horn. Kaihuang wanted to go to Wuyou Township, and ordered me to guard the Dique and prevent the darkness of Daxu from invading other places, which is the place you mentioned, Yankang."
Qin Mu blinked and looked at Qi Jiuyi.
Qi Jiuyi was shocked and confused, it was obvious that he didn't know this secret.
"Should we kill Brother Qi to silence him?" Qin Mu thought to himself with a smile on his face.
Zuo Shaobi Tian Shu sighed, "But I have a problem, that is, I like to drink, and I can't live without wine. I am stationed here, and I am very greedy every day, always wanting to drink. But it is not easy to leave to find wine. One day, an old enemy of mine, the Zuo Shaobi of the Heavenly Court, a bad guy named Yan Shaoqing, came to me and wanted to bet with me. The bet was endless wine. This guy has always been difficult to deal with, but he just lost to me. This guy is very bad. I don't know how he hid all the fine wine in the Dique Divine Sword, and then left with a grin. I knew it was a trick, but I couldn't control my mouth. When I couldn't control my mouth, I couldn't control my brain either."
Qin Mu glanced at Long Qilin and said, "I fully understand your feelings, senior."
"You are also a drinker?"
Tian Shu shook his head and said, "You should not be greedy for wine. When you see wine, you have no desire. I am restless and always want to enter the Dique Divine Sword, take out the fine wine, drink it and get drunk. But I also know that the Dique Divine Sword is very powerful and can swallow people's souls. I am just a sword holder, not a sword refiner. If I am not careful, my soul will be trapped in the sword and I can't get out. But I really can't help it. I thought that I have controlled this sword for a long time, maybe I can take out the wine, walk out and return to my body..."
Long Qilin couldn't help but ask: "And then?"
Tian Shu sighed: "Then I can never go back. That bastard Yan Shaoqing was right. I can never finish this wine..."
The broken empty jar on the ground healed itself and was still full of fine wine.
"I have been drinking here for seven or eight million years, and I have never finished the wine, and I have never been able to leave."
Tian Shu said: "You three came just in time, we can drink together."
Qin Mu and Qi Jiuyi were filled with despair. Tian Shu had been in the Emperor Que Divine Sword for eight million years and had not been able to get out, so they naturally could not escape either!
Will they all be trapped in this magical sword, unable to escape forever?
Qi Jiuyi opened a door tremblingly, only to see it filled with wine jars. He opened another one, still filled with wine jars. He opened one door after another, and they were all filled with fine wine!
Qi Jiuyi ran forward frantically. After running for an unknown amount of time, he still couldn't see the end of this long corridor!
There were countless rooms on both sides of the corridor, all filled with wine jars!
After a long time, he sat down dejectedly against the wall, was silent for a while, stood up and quietly opened a door, took out a jar of good wine and drank it headlong. Soon he was drunk.
And no matter how much he drank, the amount of wine in the jar in his hand never decreased.
"Senior, there was once someone whose soul accidentally entered the Emperor Que Divine Sword, but escaped."
Qin Mu's eyes flickered, and he asked, "Senior, do you know about this?"
"You're talking about something that happened two thousand years ago."
Tian Shu raised his head and drank, wiping off the wine beads hanging from his goat beard, and said: "At that time, I felt that the Dique Divine Sword was actually connected to the outside world. It was a pity that I was drunk at the time. By the time I woke up and wanted to escape, it was too late."
Qin Mu was stunned. "Two thousand years ago? Granny Si and the others' souls were trapped in the Divine Sword more than five years ago. So, one day in the outside world is one year here. That is to say, Qi Jiuyi and I's souls were swallowed into the Dique Divine Sword for only two days, and our bodies are still alive."
He was shocked. He and Qi Jiuyi had been running in the space inside the sword for two and a half years. Even Qin Mu thought that his body was dead, but he didn't expect that only two and a half days had passed.
"As long as the body survives, there is still hope!"
Qin Mu's eyes lit up, and he said in a deep voice: "Senior, you have controlled the Emperor Que for such a long time, you must know how to activate the Emperor Que Divine Sword, right? Then you should also know the internal formation structure and rune structure of the Emperor Que Divine Sword. As long as you know the internal formation structure, you can try to solve it..."
"No!"
Tian Shu shook his head and said, "You guessed wrong. Although I can control this magic sword, I know nothing about the rune structure and formation structure inside it. The reason why I can be the sword holder is because I have a special physique and can enter the nether city. This magic sword was designed by Kaihuang himself to cut off the horn on Tubo's head. How huge and powerful is Tubo's horn? Kaihuang designed it himself, specifically to cut off his horn, which shows how profound the formation and runes in the sword are."
Qin Mu frowned.
Tian Shu continued, "The one who refined this knife is the most powerful craftsman in the Kaihuang Divine Dynasty, the Li Youran who I just told you about, the one who had an affair with the Red Emperor Qi Xiayu. This guy is handsome and everyone loves him..."
“You mean, it was Indra, the King of Heaven, Buddha, who forged the Dique Divine Sword?” Qin Mu was surprised and happy, and asked hurriedly.
"It's Li Youran. Who is Indra Buddha?" Tian Shu was puzzled.
Qin Mu was overjoyed. He walked back and forth in the corridor and said with a smile, "The Emperor Shi Tianwang Buddha is Li Youran! Li Youran is his secular name. He later became a monk to avoid his love debt! Since it was he who refined the Dique Divine Sword, maybe we can still be saved. I have learned his skills..."
Tian Shu was originally expectant, but after hearing this, he felt a little desperate: "So you have this idea, I advise you to save your mind. Here, even if you have great magical powers, you can't use them. The runes here were designed by Kaihuang, and no one can escape. Otherwise, how can you cut off the horn of Tu Bo?"
He showed excitement: "Of course I will hold this knife, break into Youdu, and chop off Tu Bo's horn with one knife! You didn't see Tu Bo's shocked and angry look, tut tut tut... My life is worth it, it's really worth it!"
Qin Mu walked back and forth, recalling the Indra Sutra taught to him by Indra Buddha. There were indeed many things in this technique that did not belong to Buddhism. In the past, Qin Mu only learned the fighting methods in it and did not understand much about other things. This time, after careful reading, he discovered that there were many mysteries of casting hidden in Indra Buddha's technique.
He devoted himself to meditation, and before he knew it, another half a year had passed.
Tian Shu found Qi Jiuyi, picked up the boy's legs and dragged the drunk Qi Jiuyi back. The two sat on the ground and drank heavily facing each other. Long Qilin also joined the drinking party, crying and laughing while drinking, and clamoring to become sworn brothers with Qi Jiuyi and Tian Shu.
Just as Qin Mu had figured out what he needed, he heard the sound of kowtows. Long Qilin, Qi Jiuyi and Tian Shu were kneeling there, kowtowing to the wine jar in all seriousness, becoming brothers of different surnames and species.
"We don't ask to be born on the same day, month and year, but we ask to die on the same day!" the three said in unison.
Qin Mu shook his head, coughed, and said, "I have figured out a way to leave."
The three of them turned around and looked.
Qin Mu said: "I found a loophole in the practice of Emperor Shi Tianwang Buddha. From this loophole, we can find the loophole of the magic weapon he forged. This Emperor Que Divine Sword is not perfect. As long as we find the right place, we can use the Gate of Chengtian. We can escape to the Netherworld, and then return to the world of the living from the Netherworld and return to our own bodies!"
Tian Shu grabbed his goatee and said in a lost voice, "Escape to Youdu? Wouldn't that mean I have to face Tubo? I won't go! Tubo will eat me, I won't go!"
Qin Mu said patiently: "Senior Tian, I still have some face in front of Tu Bo. If I come forward, I will definitely be able to make peace with you. Don't worry, senior, put your heart back in your stomach..."
