Suffer on Behalf Of
Chapter 701: Taking the Punishment on Behalf
The old man glanced at Qin Mu and said, "Reply to Tu Bo, it has been added. It is on page 1004 of Volume 8. Every account is remembered very clearly, and there will be no omissions."
Tu Bo put down the book in his hand, picked up the eighth book, flipped through it, and said, "Does he remember every time he opened the Chengtian Gate?"
"I remember that."
The old man said, "He frightened me so much that I had to remember him. Also, I have written down every person who died at his hands, clearly and without error, waiting for the final reckoning after his death. But these are all minor matters, I have recorded them in the miscellaneous volume."
Tu Bo put down the eighth volume and asked, "Where are the miscellaneous volumes?"
The old man replied, "There are too many miscellaneous scrolls. I have opened a room to store them, and it is almost full. Do you want to send the miscellaneous scrolls over for Tubo to review?"
"No."
Tu Bo also had a headache and shook his head, saying, "As long as it is recorded clearly, it will be fine."
Boom.
Tian Shu fell straight to the ground, his sheep head hit hard, and bounced twice on the ground before he calmed down. Qi Jiuyi couldn't help but said, "Brother Tian, Tu Bo is not talking about you, but Brother Qin Fengqing."
Tian Shu said weakly: "I know they are talking about him. I thought he had a friendship with Tu Bo, but it turned out to be a friendship that recorded the bad things he had done. I was expecting him to get Tu Bo to give him some face, but now I feel that the result of Tu Bo giving him face is that I will be more guilty! Let me lie down for a while, I suddenly feel very powerless..."
Tu Bo looked at Qin Mu. Qin Mu stood there uncomfortably, with his head down. He would secretly glance at him from time to time, then look away as if frightened.
Tu Bo said, "You protected the criminal Tian Shu and released him to bring disaster to the world. This fault is put on your head. Are you convinced?"
Qin Mu said quickly: "I don't..."
"Put the blame on him." Tu Bo said to the old Yinchai.
The old man readily agreed, took notes, and said to Qin Mu: "Tu Bo is fair and selfless. I am not asking you for your opinion, but telling you something so that you won't die an unjust death in the future."
Qin Mu was immediately relieved and said with a smile: "In the future? Then Tu Bo will not kill me this time."
Tu Bo glanced at him and said, "Your life span has not yet ended, so I will not touch you for the time being. But the longer you stay in Youdu, the weaker your body will become, and you will eventually die. I summoned you here today not for you, but for him."
He raised his hand and pointed at Tian Shu, and a whip wrapped around Tian Shu with a swish. Tian Shu struggled but couldn't get free, his face ashen.
Qin Mu stepped forward, stood in front of Tu Bo, and said loudly: "May I ask Tu Bo, what crime did Tian Shu commit?"
"You cut off my horns, stole my Youdu, and divided my territory to establish Fengdu. This is a great sin."
Tu Bo asked seriously, "Are you standing up for him? Do you want to take the blame for him?"
Qin Mu said in a deep voice: "The Emperor's Divine Sword was designed by Emperor Kaihuang, and the order was given by Emperor Kaihuang. Tian Shu was just following orders. Is it wrong for me to obey the orders of the monarch?"
Tu Bo said: "The person holding the knife was already seriously wrong."
"Does Tu Bo bully the weak and fear the strong?" Qin Mu asked.
Tian Shu was horrified, and Qi Jiuyi was also uneasy, thinking: "How dare Brother Qin say anything? Even though he is the Son of the God of Youdu, his identity as the Son of the God of Youdu cannot protect him at all when he speaks to Tu Bo like this!"
Tu Bo frowned slightly, and flames flickered between the horns.
Qin Mu continued, "Tu Bo is fair and impartial, so he should investigate Kaihuang's responsibility. Tu Bo did not investigate the mastermind, but held Tian Shu responsible, which is a bit like bullying the weak and fearing the strong. I am a junior, but I also have a sense of justice. If Tu Bo is unfair, I will be dissatisfied and want to say something. If Tu Bo is not bullying the weak and fearing the strong, then Taihuangtian and Luofutian were destroyed, and countless lives died tragically. Why doesn't Tu Bo investigate the main culprit?"
The old man frowned and said, "Son of God, you don't know the reason behind this, so don't tell me..."
"Let him speak." Tu Bo raised his hand.
The old man had no choice but to endure it and secretly broke into a cold sweat for Qin Mu.
Qin Mu continued, "Who is the main culprit? The distinguished guest who just walked out of Tu Bo's palace is him! Yin Tianzi indulged his disciples and forced the remaining Chi Ming people to enter the territory of the demon clan Luofutian, causing a bloody battle. Luofutian was destroyed, and only Chixi was left among the remaining Chi Ming people. In order to survive, the demon clan had to attack Taihuangtian. Yin Tianzi's disciples used the Book of Life and Death to cause trouble, and sacrificed blood to Luofutian to hit Taihuangtian, causing Taihuangtian to hit Yankang, killing countless lives. The main culprit is here just now, why didn't Tu Bo punish the main culprit?"
"My brother caused a big disturbance in Youdu, and Tubo recorded it with me and wanted to kill him. I summoned the spirit of Wei Liao, the Seven Killing Star Lord, and Tubo recorded it with me and wanted to kill him. I fought on the battlefield and killed enemy generals, and Tubo recorded it with me and wanted to kill him. Now, the disciples of Emperor Yin are going to massacre Yankang with blood, revive the stone statues, and bring disaster to Yankang, and countless lives will die tragically! Tubo, how can you be so fair and selfless? Do you dare to kill them?"
"You are obviously bullying the weak and fearing the strong, bullying the good and fearing the evil. You don't do evil but you have committed great evil. What's the crime of Tian Shu cutting off your horn? If the person sitting in the heaven is Kaihuang, would you dare to fart?"
"You said I was evil, and you put the blame on me for my brother's crimes. My brother was indeed evil, but he also practiced what he preached. Although you are the Lord of Hell, you do not practice what you preach, and you are dishonoring his divine name!"
"You might as well give up your position and let my brother be the Lord of Youdu. At least he can treat everyone equally, unlike you who are throwing money around everywhere!"
Tian Shu, Long Qilin and Qi Jiuyi were so frightened that they peed their pants. The old man was also shivering and thought to himself, "It's over, it's over..."
Tu Bo stared at Qin Mu with his three eyes, and Qin Mu looked straight into his three eyes without giving in.
"You are very smart and good at taking advantage of situations. You are good at speaking differently to different people. Why don't you know how to advance or retreat today and insist on arguing with reason?" Tu Bo finally spoke and asked.
Qin Mu bowed and said, "People in the world always have resentment. When resentment accumulates for a long time, it will explode. I am also a person in the world. Please forgive me for offending Tu Bo."
Tu Bo nodded slowly and said, "How do you know that I don't have a little notebook to record the sins of Emperor Yin?"
Qin Mu said: "If you have it but don't do it, what's the difference between it and nothing? I know Tu Bo's difficulties. It's nothing more than the power of Heaven. You dare not do anything and cannot do anything. Since Tu Bo is unwilling to do it himself, why should he stop others?"
Tu Bo's face was extremely calm, with no change in expression at all: "So what do you mean?"
"Evil men need to be dealt with by evil men. I am this evil man, and Tian Shu is also this evil man. In this world, there are not many people who dare to fight to the death with Emperor Yin, and Tian Shu is one of them."
Qin Mu said: "Tu Bo, let Tian Shu go and let him fight to the death with Emperor Yin, isn't it a good idea? It was indeed Tian Shu who killed your horn, but there were reasons for it. He was following the orders of Emperor Kaihuang, who is not here, so I took the responsibility for him. Tu Bo, please put this bad name on my head! I only ask Tu Bo to let him go and let him fight with Emperor Yin, and Tu Bo can just be a fisherman."
Tu Bo's three eyes were fixed on him, never moving away.
Tian Shu and others were worried. Qin Mu didn't know how powerful Tu Bo was, but Tian Shu knew it clearly.
During the Kaihuang period, he was named the King of the Underworld by Tubo. He possessed extraordinary magical powers, but compared with Tubo, he was like a grain of rice compared to the scorching sun.
He had a natural fear of Tu Bo.
However, Qin Mu was calm and composed in front of Tu Bo, talking to him freely and even scolding him. After scolding him, he wanted to negotiate terms with Tu Bo. In his opinion, this was a complete act of seeking death!
At this moment, Tu Bo's voice came: "Well, I'll give you this face and let him go."
Tian Shu felt a lightness in his body, and the whip loosened, causing him to fall to the ground, knocked unconscious.
Tian Shu was confused and shook his head, as if he didn't hear clearly what Tu Bo said.
Tu Bo actually agreed and agreed to Qin Mu's conditions, and even said, "I'll give you face."
This is absolutely impossible!
Qin Mu bowed and thanked him: "Thank you, Tu Bo, for your help."
"When people commit evil, I will be impartial and record it, no matter if they are ordinary people or kings of heaven."
Tu Bo said slowly, "Everyone has a corresponding little book, but some are thin and some are thick. You stole my power to revive Tian Yin Niangniang, I don't blame you, on the contrary, I am very happy. I feel sorry for the death of Tian Yin Niangniang, but I am the Lord of Youdu after all. Sometimes there are things I can't do and can only be done by others, and there are things I can't say and can only be said by others. You did it, you said it, but for fairness, although I appreciate you, you need to record it and act according to the laws of Youdu. Do you understand?"
Qin Mu bowed and said, "I understand."
Tu Bo nodded and said, "You can leave now."
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment: "Uncle Tu, I want to see my mother. I have never seen her..."
"She's taking the blame for you."
Tu Bo looked indifferent and said, "A few months after you were born, you committed a serious crime in Nether City. She sent you away to save your life, but in order to protect you and prevent the Nether City giants from hunting you down, she took your fault on herself. You want to see her, I can make it happen, but the disciples of Nether City have already started to take action, and the souls of the Yankang creatures are being extradited to Nether City. Are you sure you want to see her?"
Qin Mu was struck by lightning, he stood there dumbly, and suddenly turned around and said: "Tian Shu, Brother Qi, let's go back to Yankang!"
Tu Bo watched him walk out of the hall, but saw the young man secretly wipe his eyes and quietly wipe away his tears.
"He will be a good child." Tu Bo said lightly.
The old man bowed and said, "Of course he will be a good kid. I will send them away."
On the paper boat, Qin Mu looked back at the seemingly cold and dark Tubo, but in fact, there were countless dead people living there, and it was very lively. There were also his relatives there. Perhaps his father was driving the boat, looking for his mother in the dark.
However, he clearly had the opportunity to meet them, but he couldn't.
"I will come back. When the Yankang Rebellion is quelled, I will come back to see you."
Qin Mu showed a gentle smile and said silently in his heart: "I don't remember what I did after I was born. I think it was my brother who did it. What he did is what I did. But I let mother suffer for me. I can't bear it. Mother, I will come back to pick you up. I won't let you suffer in Youdu instead of me..."
————Zhaizhu will go to Hangzhou tomorrow to participate in the Chinese Writers Week, which will last for seven days. There may be some awards for The Shepherd's Tale. Many book fans urged Zhaizhu to release a new chapter, but it seems that there is no way to release a new chapter at the moment. I am lucky to keep updating. But don't worry, I have saved two chapters of manuscripts, which should be able to make ends meet. I will try my best to keep updating on time, two chapters at a time, and if there is a late update, I will definitely make up for it. Please subscribe and recommend!
