Pomp and Circumstance

Chapter 785: Pomp and circumstance

"It's the Red Emperor Qi Xiayu again!"

Qin Mu had a strange look on his face. How many people did the Red Emperor Qi Xia Yu betray?

She has an unclear relationship with her lover, Emperor Shi Tianwang Buddha Li Youran, and Bai Quer chases her to find out the truth. Now Feng Qiuyun, a member of the Phoenix Clan under the command of Earth Mother Yuanjun, also wants to kill her.

As soon as the Red Emperor Qi Xia Yu appeared, there were sounds of fighting and killing everywhere.

"But the weird thing is that Bai Quer chased after Qi Xiayu because she betrayed the Supreme Emperor Heavenly Court where Bai Quer was. Feng Qiuyun said that she betrayed the Phoenix Clan, and the Phoenix Clan was attached to the Earth Mother Yuanjun, who also supported a Supreme Emperor Heavenly Court with fifteen generations of Supreme Emperors."

Qin Mu fell into deep thought: "Are these two Supreme Emperors the same? Bai Quer has the blood of a divine dragon, and the dragon race is also a demigod. Could it be that she is also under the command of the Earth Mother Yuanjun? However, they don't look alike..."

Bai Yuer once said to Qin Mu that the emperor said something very shocking, that is, human life is more important than anything else!

Qin Mu didn't know much about the Supreme Emperor's Heavenly Court supported by Mother Earth, but he knew that the backbone of this Supreme Emperor's Heavenly Court were mostly demigods. Judging from the behavior and words of these demigods, they did not value human life very much, and it could be said that they were extremely contemptuous and even hostile to the human race.

For example, when the Water Qilin saw Qin Mu, Yu Tianzun and Emperor Shi Tianwang Buddha when it was revived, it clamored to eat them to fill its stomach and said that they were lower species.

A glimpse of the whole picture shows that in the Heavenly Palace supported by Mother Earth, the status of the human race is extremely humble.

However, in the heaven where Bai Quer lives, there is a tradition that human life is more important than heaven. Human life and even the lives of ordinary people are extremely important, and even gods are required to protect ordinary people with their own lives!

This was also what moved Qin Mu the most. Before he left, he left words on the cliff, which were these words.

"So that means that the Red Emperor Qi Xiayu was born in the Phoenix Clan under the command of Earth Mother Yuanjun, and then betrayed the Phoenix Clan and joined the Heavenly Court where Bai Yuer was. After killing the former Red Emperor, he was captured and joined the Heavenly Court outside the domain."

Qin Mu blinked his eyes. "In the Kaihuang era, she fell in love with Emperor Shitian Li Youran, but ended up betraying Li Youran. Sister Qi Xiayu's way of doing things seems to have some problems... But the key to the problem is not her, but the Supreme Emperor Heavenly Court where Bai Quer is!"

The philosophy of this Supreme Emperor Heavenly Court, where human life is more important than heaven, can be said to be the cornerstone of the reforms of the woodcutter sage during the Kaihuang period!

Moreover, this concept influenced the Yankang era.

The sage's way followed by the Yankang State is in the daily life of the people. It was compiled by the eldest brother Wei Suifeng from the teachings of a woodcutter, passed on to the Yankang State Master by the young ancestor, and became the foundation of Yankang's founding.

The concepts of the three eras can be said to be inherited from the same source and are constantly evolving.

"Let's get going quickly!"

Feng Qiuyun urged, “Be careful not to let that little bitch escape!”

Qin Mu couldn't help but said, "Sister Qiuyun, Yujing City has gathered almost all the demigods in the Yuanjie, and there is also someone pretending to be the Earth Mother, as well as other gods and demons. There are many powerful people. If we rush in like this, we will be beaten to death by other powerful people before the Red Emperor can make a move."

Feng Qiuyun shook her head and said, "That Earth Mother is a fake Earth Mother. As long as I reveal her identity, all the demigods will return to me. Then, by combining the power of many demigods, it will be easy to execute the traitor Qi Xiayu!"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Sister, you think too simply. If you break in, the fake Earth Mother will definitely persuade the demigods to attack you and make you the target of public criticism. I'm afraid you'll be killed before you even see Qi Xiayu."

Feng Qiuyun stopped and asked, "What do you think?"

Qin Mu asked: "Sister, do you have a token from the Earth Mother? Something that can prove your identity and the identity of the Earth Mother?"

Feng Qiuyun sneered, "Mother Earth is Mother Earth. Do you still need to prove your identity? What kind of perverted logic is this?"

Qin Mu said calmly: "You don't have a token to prove that the Earth Mother is the Earth Mother, how can you argue that the other party is a fake Earth Mother? Those demigods were summoned by the other party, so they must have a token. You don't have a token, how can you gain the trust of those demigods?"

Feng Qiuyun frowned, and after a moment said: "What should we do?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "Since sister has decided to go to Yujing City to confront the fake Earth Mother, then naturally the bigger the better. Does the Earth Mother have any carriage that symbolizes her status?"

Feng Qiuyun said, "Yes. But it's too grand. It requires eight dragons and eight phoenixes to drive the carriage. Moreover, it will most likely alarm the Earth Mother, which will be difficult to handle. The Earth Mother will not agree to let me kill Qi the Bitch."

Qin Mu thought for a moment and said, "Does Mother Earth have anything else with branches and forks that looks more gorgeous?"

Feng Qiuyun's eyes lit up and she smiled, "Mother Earth once refined a wooden sword to suppress the gods in the heavens. It's called the Yuanjun Kunyuan Sword. The sword is in the temple. I'll go get it!"

She walked into the main hall of the dilapidated temple excitedly. Qin Mu followed her in and saw Feng Qiuyun bowing respectfully to the statue of Earth Mother Yuanjun. Then she came behind the statue and saw a wooden sword hanging on the wall.

Qin Mu was dumbfounded and asked tentatively: "Is this wooden sword the Yuanjun Kunyuan Sword that suppresses the heavens? It's hanging here?"

Feng Qiuyun nodded and said, "It is this sword. It is usually hung here."

Qin Mu had a strange look on his face as he glanced at other parts of the dilapidated temple, his eyes falling on the altar, shrine, incense burner, incense tripod, screen, cushion and other objects.

"There are two large bronze bells hanging under the eaves. Are they also good things?"

Just as he thought of this, Feng Qiuyun clamored to go to Yujing City. Qin Mu smiled and said, "Sister, what is your status in front of the Earth Mother Yuanjun?"

Feng Qiuyun hesitated for a moment, then said ashamedly, "My Phoenix Clan originally lived on the Yuanmu Tree, living under someone else's roof and being blessed by the Earth Mother. That's why I usually pull the Earth Mother's precious chariot. I am one of the eight phoenixes who pull the Earth Mother's chariot. Qi Xiayu was also one of the eight phoenixes, but later defected."

Qin Mu pondered and said, "You are the cart driver, and Sister Yan is a maid. There must be demigods who know you and doubt your identities. My brother's cultivation is low, and the Dragon Qilin and Water Qilin are too stupid to be of any use. So I have no choice but to be wronged and become the disciple of Earth Mother Yuanjun."

Feng Qiuyun was stunned and didn't understand what he meant.

Qin Mu sighed and said, "I am reluctantly going to serve as the Earth Mother's messenger and disciple to quell the rebellion. You are my servants. Then Sister Qiuyun will have to hold the Yuanjun Kunyuan Sword for me. Sister Yan and Brother Lan still have nothing in their hands. Do you have any other treasures? Otherwise, it's too shabby and people will see through it."

Feng Qiuyun said, "Wait a minute, there is another whisk, which was made by the Earth Mother using the roots of the Yuan Wood and the rivers and streams. It is called the Liuhe Hunyuan Sword. The other one is the Shanhe Ding, which is used by the Earth Mother to suppress earthquakes in the mountains and rivers. I'll go get it!"

She rummaged around under the altar, pulled out a whisk from a pile of miscellaneous items, emptied the ashes from the incense burner, cleaned it, and said, "It's still usable."

Qin Mu's heart twitched. There were so many good things in this small, shabby temple. It was so scary!

"Yan'er, hold the whisk."

Feng Qiuyun handed the whisk to Gongsun Yan and said, "This whisk is very heavy. Use your vital energy to activate it, and each whisk will turn into sword lights composed of mountains and rivers. It is very dangerous to control, so you have to be careful. Yu Tianzun, you come..."

She looked at the dazed Yu Tianzun and shook her head, saying, "You'd better not hold the tripod. I'll put it in the halo behind your head."

She lifted up the Mountain and River Cauldron, and the cauldron flew up and floated into the halo behind Yu Tianzun's head, floating up and down. Then she looked at Qin Mu and said, "Can we set off now?"

Qin Mu looked embarrassed and said, "I don't have any treasures on me, so I'm a bit shabby..."

Feng Qiuyun blinked her eyes and said, "We are all your maids, and we have a servant boy. The treasures in our hands are for you to use. If you carry the treasures yourself, wouldn't it be embarrassing?"

Qin Mu laughed dryly twice, his face somewhat gloomy: "That's true. But the show is not grand enough. If I could have the Earth Mother's precious chariot..."

Feng Qiuyun sneered, "That means Mother Earth is going out! Now that the show is over, let's set off quickly, or the little bitch will run away! That little bitch is very fast!"

Qin Mu turned his head and glanced at the big clock hanging under the eaves of the hall, then looked at the screen, incense burner, cushion and other things, secretly saying it was a pity, and said, "Give me a little more time, I can build a precious chariot. Fatty Long and Ah Shui will pull the chariot, Brother Lan will sit on the shaft holding a small whip, the two sisters will lean on my legs, and I will sit on the throne behind the curtain..."

Feng Qiuyun urged, "After I kill that little bitch and revive Mother Earth, I'll let you be so majestic for once, right? We don't have time now, let's go quickly!"

Qin Mu glanced at Long Qilin, and Long Qilin understood what he meant. It rolled on the ground and turned into a giant beast that was forty meters long.

Qin Mu pinched Yu Tianzun's face, changing his appearance so that he looked like a servant.

He took out the sword pill, and it flowed and turned into a collar with a rope, allowing the water Qilin to transform into a demigod with a human body and a Qilin head, holding the rope in front.

Gongsun Yan and Feng Qiuyun came to the head of Long Qilin. Qin Mu sat down and asked Yu Tianzun to stand behind him. He pulled Gongsun Yan over and let the girl lean on his shoulder. He was about to pull Feng Qiuyun. Feng Qiuyun glared and pretended to draw out the wooden sword.

Qin Mu had no choice but to give up this idea and said, "Long Pang, let's go and meet this fake Earth Mother."

The Dragon Qilin immediately created clouds under his feet and flew into the sky. The Water Qilin led him in front and walked towards Yujing City.

Qin Mu smiled faintly, looking forward, thinking: "Sister Qiuyun was sent by Earth Mother Yuanjun to monitor me, so that I won't run away. If Qi Xiayu kills Sister Qiuyun, then I can take these treasures and run away happily!"

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became, and his smile gradually deepened: "Qi Xiayu is a nine-headed phoenix with nine heads, and he is also at the Emperor Throne realm. His strength is unfathomable. Just the sound of his zither made Emperor Shi Tianwang Buddha vomit blood. Even if Feng Qiuyun has the Yuanjun Kunyuan Sword in her hand, she will definitely be sent food, and I can take the opportunity to escape from here."

He held Gongsun Yan's little hand with a smile on his face, which made the girl's heart beat fast and she kept looking at him.

Qin Mu, however, did not notice the strangeness of the girl beside him. He continued to draw the energy of the Earth Origin Dao Fruit into Gongsun Yan's body, thinking: "The scholar is also in Yujing City. She can help me dissolve the blessing of the Earth Mother. With Sister Yan absorbing the energy of the Earth Origin Dao Fruit, I can completely get rid of the surveillance of the Earth Mother."

Gongsun Yan absorbed the Di Yuan Dao Fruit even faster than him, but what made Qin Mu a little anxious was that even though the energy of the Di Yuan Dao Fruit was constantly being absorbed by them, the energy in this Dao Fruit did not decrease.

"Since I can't absorb all the Di Yuan Dao Fruit in a short period of time, I have no choice but to kidnap Sister Yan." Qin Mu looked at the girl beside him with an innocent and sunny smile.

Gongsun Yan blushed and turned her head to stare at the mane on Long Qilin's neck. She was panicking: "If he suddenly kisses me, what should I do? Should I struggle and resist, or pretend to be angry? Or should I let him kiss me first and then slap me?"

Qin Mu didn't move. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but also felt a little disappointed. She thought to herself, "It turns out that he is even more shy than me..."

"Kidnap Sister Yan, and then use her soul to drain the energy of the Earth Yuan Dao Fruit!"

Qin Mu's eyebrows twitched, and he almost danced with joy: "You can also get the Yuanjun Kunyuan Sword, the Mountain and River Cauldron, and the Liuhe Hunyuan Sword. It's perfect... Well, it's a pity that I didn't get the Earth Mother's treasure chariot..."

Ahead is Yujing City.

The water qilin led the dragon qilin into the city.
