Chapter 339
If Master Yankang knew the origins of these nine old men, he would understand why Qin Mu had a vision and mind that his peers did not have.
The nine "old men" in the Disabled Village are not only Qin Mu's closest relatives, but also his teachers.
Among these nine people, there is the present Tathagata, the former magic spear, the world's best treasure refiner but a mute who is always bad, the Jade-faced Poison King Pharmacist who was once handsome and unparalleled but cruel and ruthless, and the saint of the Heavenly Demon Sect who has both the gods and the devils.
There is also the deaf man who is revered as the Saint of Painting by Master Yan Kangguo, the lame man who steals all over the world without fail and can escape from his hands even if one of his legs is chopped off, and the butcher who is praised as the Heavenly Sword and who raises his sword to the sky to fight against the gods.
There is also the Human Emperor who reigned supreme for an era, the village chief.
Some of them are broad-minded, some are sentimental, some are compassionate, some are calm, some are cunning, some are good at hiding their inner feelings, some are full of passion, some are good at planning and scheming, some are cruel and ruthless, and more people retain a sincere mind and an innocent heart.
It is precisely because of such villages and such people that Qin Mu was cultivated into a figure that even he, a saint who appears once every five hundred years, would admire.
Qin Mu himself didn't feel anything. After he walked out of the Disabled Old Man Village, he didn't feel how powerful he was. After all, he was a tyrant, so any achievements he made were natural and there was no need to make a fuss.
But in the eyes of others, he is simply a demon-like character. At such a young age, whether he is poisoning, refining elixirs to save people, or forging, stealing, calligraphy and painting, he is one of the best in the world.
On the contrary, Qin Mu's fighting ability was not noticed by everyone. What he worked hardest on was to improve his strength to the best of his ability, which was not noticeable in the star-studded Yankang.
However, even with the most insignificant fighting power, he swept his peers, and even Pangong Tso was repeatedly defeated by him.
When Qin Mu left Canlao Village, his attainments in numerology were not high, but after leaving Daxu, his attainments in numerology improved by leaps and bounds. Even among Taoists, there are not many who can fully understand the Taixuan Suanjing. Although Qin Mu is not a Taoist, he has studied the Taixuan Suanjing thoroughly.
He came later but achieved success first, and there are only a few people in the world who can surpass him in the attainments of numerology.
The more I interacted with him, the more I felt that this little boy was extraordinary.
"If we want to transform the contents of this golden scroll into a numerology model as quickly as possible, we need someone who is proficient in numerology to help us."
Qin Mu put away the golden book and said, "I can complete the measurement of the first skill, Magpie Bridge Skill, within a month and build a numerology model. However, there are too many things to calculate for the second skill, Xuanyin Skill and the third skill, Shendu Skill. If I am left to sort them out by myself, I am afraid it will take more than a year, which is too much of a delay."
Yankang Imperial Master, the village chief, and the cripple all looked solemn. To build a numerology model, they needed to measure every angle in the space of the Golden Book and use numbers to reconstruct the coordinates of the three techniques in space. This was crucial!
After having the numerology model, he then used the ratio of the divine bridge in the golden book and his own divine bridge as a scale to convert these spatial coordinates and determine the coordinate points of the operation of the techniques in his own divine storage.
Only in this way can one learn the Magpie Bridge Art, build the Magpie Bridge, use the Magpie Bridge to repair the Divine Bridge, extend the Divine Bridge, and then one can further practice the Xuan Yin Art and refine another Xuan Yin Bridge from the Heavenly Palace opposite the Divine Bridge.
After mastering the Xuan Yin Jue, you can then practice the Shen Du Jue.
If there is any deviation in the calculation, the three bridges of Queqiao, Xuanyin Bridge and Shendu Bridge cannot be closed, and all the previous efforts will be wasted!
"In the Taoist sect, the one with the strongest numerology is the old Taoist master. But the old Taoist master has retired and no one knows where he went. The second is the current Taoist master, the former Taoist Lin Xuan."
Qin Mu continued to measure and calculate, and said: "He has a very high level of attainment in numerology. I have seen him use the Dao Sword, and his numerology is very powerful."
Yankang State Master had a splitting headache and said slowly: "The relationship between Taoism and Yankang State is not good, but we must ask them to come out. In addition to the Golden Book and Treasure Scroll, they are also needed for the Sun-Shooting Divine Cannon! The Sun-Shooting Divine Cannon is extremely important and must be refined. I am afraid that the Taoist manpower alone is not enough to complete these two tasks. Therefore, we have to go to Xiaoyujing. But..."
He looked towards the grassland and his head hurt more.
Now that the Mandi Kingdom has been defeated, it is the best time to annex the grassland. We must not miss this opportunity!
Asking the Taoists to come out of the mountains and head to Xiaoyujing, marching to the grassland, and flattening the Golden Palace of Loulan, these things are extremely important, but he just can't do it.
In the north, there was also the Langjuxu Kingdom attacking Yankang. There were so many things going on that his head felt like it was going to explode just thinking about it.
"I am very familiar with the Taoist master. I can go to the Taoist sect and take a look. Maybe I can persuade Taoist master Lin Xuan."
Qin Mu smiled and said, "I can also go to Xiaoyujing for you. We have met Wang Muran and his master Zhen Sanren before."
"I killed Zhen Sanren."
Yankang Imperial Master said: "You are the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect, Xiaoyujing may not treat you well."
Qin Mu looked at the village chief and the cripple. The village chief said, "If you have nothing to do, it would be nice to go out for a walk."
Imperial Master Yankang understood and said, "Okay, you guys go to Xiaoyujing, I'll flatten the grassland and destroy the Loulan Golden Palace!"
"There are hundreds of my treasures in the Loulan Golden Palace!"
Qin Mu said quickly: "You have promised that I can choose whatever you want!"
Imperial Master Yankang said solemnly: "Don't worry, I always keep my word!"
Qin Mu was relieved and said with a smile: "Village Chief, Grandpa Lame, let's go back to Qingmen Pass, take Xiong Xiyu and her daughter and Long Pang, and go to Daomen and Xiaoyujing."
Imperial Master Yankang set off immediately and headed towards Helan Pass, while Qin Mu and others returned to Qingmen Pass, picked up Xiong Xiyu and her daughter, and picked up the village chief and put him in the medicine basket.
Qin Mu suddenly came to his senses: "Oh no, I haven't been to Xiaoyujing yet!"
The village chief said calmly, "I've been there. They're all old, smelly and hard. You may not be able to convince them if you go to Xiaoyujing."
The lame man was so excited that he rubbed his hands: "Xiaoyujing, I haven't been there yet! My life would not be complete if I haven't stolen from this holy place! It's a pity that Master Ma is not here..."
Xiong Qier looked up at the lame man and said seriously, "Grandpa Lame, you will be beaten to death if you steal."
The cripple was quite fond of the little girl. He patted her head and said with a smile, "Qier, do you want to be the third best hand in the world?"
"I want to!" the little girl said loudly.
In Helan Pass, each army reorganized its armaments and the commander reported the losses of each army to Imperial Master Yankang. This time, with the tower ships and gunboats leading the way, the casualties of each army were not serious, and were not as severe as in the previous small-scale battle. The losses of various spiritual soldiers and the food, fodder and spiritual medicines that needed to be replenished were not many.
The head of the Sword Hall and Yu Yuanchuyun also came to report, saying, "Reporting to the Imperial Master, the medicine is gone."
Imperial Master Yankang lost his voice and asked, "What?"
The head of the Sword Hall said again: "The new army's medicine is gone."
"impossible!"
Imperial Master Yankang stood up suddenly and said, "The amount of medicine prepared on board this ship is enough for three months. How could it be gone in one day?"
Jian Tang didn't say much, and said, "The cannons are gone."
Yu Yuan Chuyun said: "National Master, the cannon improved by Dr. Qin consumes a lot of energy, and the improved alchemy furnace also requires more medicinal stones. In the battle just now, each cannon fired a hundred times more times than before! The consumption was also a hundred times that of before! Therefore, the medicinal stones were used up."
Imperial Master Yankang calmed down and said, "Then the task of pursuing the enemy cannot be left to the new army. Let the cavalry and flying cavalry pursue. You new army should rest first. When the medicine and stones are delivered, I will give you another task."
Yu Yuan Chuyun said: "Master, the new army has no name yet, please give it a name."
"It is not in accordance with the rules for me to give a name. I must ask the emperor to give a name."
Imperial Master Yankang waved his hand and told them to leave first. He thought to himself, "How come they are defeated? The things that Master Qin improved don't seem to care about the cost. They desperately pile up energy, as if they are afraid of insufficient firepower..."
At this moment, a flying cavalryman suddenly came with a report. A nine-headed eagle fell to the ground and rolled on the ground. It turned into a supernatural being, knelt on one knee and shouted, "Report - Imperial Master, General Bian asks Divine Doctor Qin to go to the front line immediately!"
Imperial Master Yankang was slightly moved. This time, all the armies were resting, except for Bian Zhenyun who led the army of Qingmen Pass to chase and kill the enemy, preparing to attack Huanglongfu, the capital of the Mandi Kingdom.
Bian Zhenyun has been guarding Qingmen Pass for many years and is familiar with the grassland. This time he led his elite troops straight to Huanglongfu. It can be said that speed is of the essence and it is no problem to directly cut off Huanglongfu.
"Dr. Qin has gone to the Taoist sect and is not here. What happened?"
"Voodoo!"
The supernatural man suddenly opened his clothes, exposing his chest, and saw corpse spots on his body, and large-scale ulcers. The supernatural man screamed: "All the soldiers in our army have been poisoned by voodoo, and many brothers have died! The military doctor of the Imperial Academy said that the great witch poisoned the water!"
Imperial Master Yankang looked solemn, stood up suddenly, and said in a deep voice: "Take me to see it!"
The man with supernatural powers cultivated physical supernatural powers. Just as he was about to transform into a nine-headed eagle and fly up, National Master Yankang activated his magic power and froze him, forcing him to follow him in the air. He said in a deep voice, "Don't use your magic power, otherwise the voodoo will explode faster. You just need to point the direction."
He was moving extremely fast, as fast as lightning, and the space under his feet seemed to shrink rapidly. After an incense stick of time, Master Yankang covered a distance of a thousand miles and caught up with Bian Zhenyun's troops.
Imperial Master Yankang was stunned before he even landed from the air.
He looked around and saw corpses everywhere on the grassland, corpses of humans and animals. There were not only corpses of the Yankang army led by Bian Zhenyun, but more of them were the corpses of grassland herdsmen and their livestock!
The speed at which these corpses decay is shocking.
Many green-headed flies were flying around the countless corpses, but they didn't dare to land. If a fly landed on a corpse, it would die!
The corners of Master Yankang's eyes twitched. Suddenly, the supernatural being beside him groaned, and blood and intestines from his mouth came out, and he died. His body fell from his side.
State Master Yankang felt more and more depressed. Now even if Qin Mu, the miracle doctor, came here, it would be useless. The Golden Palace had poisoned the entire grassland, and it was impossible for Qin Mu to undo the voodoo in all places!
Imperial Master Yankang clenched his fists as he walked among the mountains and seas of corpses. Many of the soldiers around Bian Zhenyun were still alive, but their bodies were rapidly festering.
The corner of Yankang State Master's eye twitched and he looked at Bian Zhenyun. Bian Zhenyun had a strong cultivation base and the voodoo did not get close to him. However, the old general had a blank expression on his face and sat stupidly next to a young general. That was his son, who had died of the poison.
"General Bian..."
Bian Zhenyun looked up blankly, his eyes dull. Imperial Master Yankang turned and left, saying in a deep voice, "Stay here, don't enter the pass."
Bian Zhenyun looked at his receding back and suddenly said in a stern voice: "Master, I still have many disciples of Yankang here, I can't let them all die here——"
Imperial Master Yankang's body trembled, but he did not stop and continued walking towards Helan Pass.
In Guanzhong, Master Yankang looked at the Yankang Kingdom's magical practitioners who were carrying green gourds on their backs, and no one made a sound.
"Let's get started."
Imperial Master Yankang closed his eyes and waved his hand: "Flood the grassland to cleanse the voodoo."
The gourd mouths opened one by one, and dark clouds rose into the sky, covering the grassland. Thunder crackled continuously, and then heavy rain fell from the sky.
The heavy rain continued to fall, washing away the land until ten days later, when it gradually stopped. The grassland had turned into a swamp.
Master Yankang entered the grassland again. Countless people and animals were drowned. He found Bian Zhenyun. Bian Zhenyun was the only one left in the army of Qingmen Pass. All the others were dead.
"General Bian, please go back to the pass." Imperial Master Yankang said softly.
Bian Zhenyun looked at him blankly and said in a hoarse voice: "I brought them out, but failed to bring them back. I feel so ashamed of them... Imperial Master, you brought our bodies back to the country... I feel so ashamed of you!"
Imperial Master Yankang opened his mouth, and Bian Zhenyun drew his sword, cut off his own head, and held his head in both hands and placed it in front of him.
Imperial Master Yankang held the white-haired head in his hands, and Bian Zhenyun's body fell to the ground.
