A Twisted Melon Is Sweet

Chapter 380: A forced melon is sweet

The butcher couldn't help but ask, "You stupid blind man, you acted on your own. Did you ask Mu'er for his opinion?"

"I don't need to ask! I raised the child, so I can make my own decisions!"

After the blind man finished speaking, he took Qin Mu's hand and walked out of the hall. A group of dragons quickly followed Qin Mu and ran out. The village chief frowned and said, "Old butcher, there's no need to chase him. The blind man will figure it out himself."

The butcher shook his head and said, "This old guy has a worse temper than me. He actually got angry."

In the hall, Qingyou Shanren was filled with emotion and said to Wang Muran and the other two, "The Emperor asked us to come out of the mountain to calculate the spatial numerology model for repairing the Divine Bridge. Now that the spatial numerology model has been built, there is no need for us to stay in Yankang Country, a place of trouble. Will you follow me back to Xiaoyujing?"

Long Yu and Mu Qingdai were a little hesitant. Long Yu wanted to return to Xiaoyujing, but he had few ideas and couldn't help looking at Wang Muran. Among the three brothers in Xiaoyujing, Wang Muran had the most ideas. Mu Qingdai was more playful. The past few months since Xiaoyujing were exciting, so she wanted to stay.

Wang Muran was silent for a moment, then said, "Disciple just met Imperial Master Yan Kang."

Qingyou Shanren raised his eyebrows, and Wang Muran continued: "He no longer recognizes me."

Qingyou Shanren sighed and said, "He is the national teacher, so naturally he won't remember you."

Wang Muran said: "Master Yankang is in charge of reforming the country and creating a new situation. His Taoist magic is changing with each passing day and his progress is rapid. I stayed in Xiaoyujing and practiced hard. Even if I worked a hundred times harder than him, I would never be able to surpass him in this lifetime. Besides, he is also very hardworking."

"Do you want to stay?" asked Qingyou Shanren.

Wang Muran bowed and said, "I want to join the era of great changes brought about by his reforms. This reform has already revealed many clues. The three sword styles of Yankang State Master, the six-in-one Yuanshen of Emperor Qin Renhuang, the sun-shooting cannon, and the celestial power show that the Taoist magic is changing. If I stay in Xiaoyujing and miss this era, Yankang State Master will never remember me. When I seek revenge on him, he will not remember who I am after killing me with a sword."

Qingyou Shanren sighed in his heart and said, "Then you stay. Qingdai, Longyu, what about you?"

Mu Qingdai smiled and said, "I'll stay too, so that my junior brother won't be left without someone to take care of him."

Long Yu hesitated for a moment and said, "My junior brothers and sisters are all staying here. As the eldest senior brother, I should take care of them."

Qingyou Shanren had a headache and said, "Okay. Senior Brother Youhe, let's go back to Xiaoyujing."

The three old immortals of Xiaoyujing stood up, bowed to the village chief, the mute and the butcher, and said goodbye and left.

The three of them came up to the sky, and Qingyou Shanren said to Youhe and Youyun: "I am worried about these three disciples. You go back to Xiaoyujing first, and I will keep an eye on them in secret."

Youhe said hurriedly: "The emperor killed the gods and men in heaven, which brought unpredictable consequences. If you stay, you will be implicated. It is not advisable to stay in a place of trouble for long!"

The hermit smiled and said, "Don't worry, I understand. I have lost my desire for worldly things and will not be entangled by this world." After saying that, he disappeared.

Qin Mu sat on the back of Long Qilin and followed the blind man on the road at a leisurely pace. Qin Mu asked the blind man to get on, but the blind man refused and walked towards Daxu on his own with a crutch.

After a long time, the blind man suddenly stopped.

Qin Mu asked Long Qilin to stop, and all the dragons around him stopped as well.

After a while, the blind man sighed and said, "Mu'er, the old butcher asked me to ask you what you think, but I never asked you. Now I ask you, do you want to stay or go back to Daxu?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "If Blind Grandpa asked me to go back, then I will go back. I said I want to stay, will Blind Grandpa agree?"

"No!"

Qin Mu changed the subject and asked, "Did the village chief ask Grandpa Tu about the fact that the sun, moon and stars are all fake?"

"Go ask the butcher yourself!"

Qin Mu stopped talking. The two continued on their way. As the sky gradually darkened, Qin Mu started a fire and cooked. After they finished dinner, the blind man drew a circle around Qin Mu with his bamboo stick and said, "Wait here, don't step out of the circle... You can't step out anyway! I'll go grab a wife for you, and when we return to the village, we'll get married and have children!"

Qin Mu was startled. The blind man jumped into the air with his bamboo stick and disappeared.

"Grab a wife? Give birth to a child?"

Qin Mu's mind buzzed and he hurriedly walked out of the circle. Suddenly, he heard a buzzing sound, and the circle drawn by the blind man glowed brightly and bounced him back.

"Blind Grandpa's restrictions are very powerful, but Lame Grandpa taught me to steal the God's Leg, which is not afraid of any restrictions!"

Qin Mu exerted force with his feet, but was bounced back just as he activated his Stealing Heaven Leg. The circle drawn by the blind man was very clever, and the size of the circle was just right for preventing him from exerting the full speed of his Stealing Heaven Leg. The cripple's Stealing Heaven Leg needed to use the extreme speed to break through the constraints of space in order to ignore the restriction.

"Isn't the Nine Heavens Eye-Opening Method that Blind Grandpa passed on to me just for breaking the ban? Open your eyes!"

Layers of array patterns swirled in Qin Mu’s pupils. He opened his Bixiao Sky Eye and looked intently, feeling dejected.

He can't understand.

As the founder of the Nine Heavens Eye-Opening Method, the Blind Man is known as the Divine Eyes and the Divine Gun. Because of his powerful Divine Eyes, he has unfathomable and profound attainments in the ways of prohibitions and formations.

Even if Qin Mu's Ninth Heaven Eye was fully opened, he might not be able to break through.

"I still have two big eyeballs here, the Sun Jade Eye and the Moon Jade Eye. Maybe they can break the blind grandfather's restriction! But..."

He looked embarrassed. The circle drawn by the blind man was too small to accommodate the two eyes.

Qin Mu looked at Long Qilin and the dozen or so dragons, and hurriedly took out the Emperor Disc, activated the Dragon Taming Technique, blew the golden flute, and the dragons immediately roared and attacked the circle.

However, no matter how powerful and numerous these dragons were, they could not break the circle drawn by the blind man. The light curtain of the circle kept breaking and gathering, constantly changing, always trapping him.

Qin Mu did not dare to let these dragons attack with all their strength. If they broke the circle and could not withstand the force, he would be killed.

He was completely at a loss and had to sit quietly in the circle, waiting for the blind man to come back and snatch a wife for him.

The huge turret of the Sun-Shooting Cannon was still flying in the air, floating towards the capital. On the turret, Emperor Yanfeng looked at the burning alchemy furnaces with great heartache. These furnaces did not burn medicinal stones, but sacks of Dafeng coins, which burned so much that even the emperor felt pain!

At this moment, a figure suddenly flashed across the sky above the artillery platform and disappeared.

“What a fast speed!”

Emperor Yanfeng was amazed. Imperial Prefect Yankang came over, took a look from a distance, and said, "It looks like the blind old man who fought with the gods in heaven. It should be the magic spear of the past."

"It's a pity that I can't use it." Emperor Yanfeng sighed.

In the second half of the night, the figure rushed back and flew over the fort. Emperor Yanfeng looked at him from a distance and asked in confusion, "Why is this gun god still carrying a big sack?"

"have no idea."

Imperial Preceptor Yankang was also somewhat puzzled, and said, "Masters who are not from this world usually have some strange hobbies. The adults in Master Qin's family all have these strange hobbies, which are hard to understand."

At noon, they arrived outside the capital and lowered the artillery. The palace guards rushed over and knelt down, shouting, "Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! The Sixth Princess was kidnapped by an old man on crutches last night!"

Emperor Yanfeng looked dazed: "An old man with a crutch? Imperial Master, is that magic spearman using a crutch..."

When Qin Mu woke up, it was already bright outside. The blind man had just returned and put down a large sack. There was the sound of a girl mumbling in the sack.

"Fat pig, come here and show your true form!"

The blind man led Long Qilin over, and Long Qilin showed his true form of a 40-foot-tall beast. The blind man picked up the sack and put it on his back, then walked over with a bamboo stick to wipe the circle on the ground, and said with a smile: "Mu'er, go back to the village and get married!"

Qin Mu said quickly: "Blind grandpa, a forced melon is not sweet!"

“It’s guaranteed to be sweet, guaranteed to be sweet.”

The blind man took him and jumped onto the dragon unicorn's back, smiling and saying, "If it's not sweet, return it and get a sweet one. You are in luck! Fatty pig, stop at the town ahead and buy some phoenix coronet and red flowers."

Long Qilin hummed. He showed his true form, with a broad body, and ran as steadily as a big ship.

Qin Mu untied the sack, revealing his black hair and a familiar fragrance.

The sack moved, Ling Yuxiu raised her head, a cloth strip stuffed in her mouth, whimpering and pushing forward. The blind man stood aside, smiling triumphantly.

Qin Mu quickly pulled the girl out of the sack, only to find that Ling Yuxiu's hands and feet were tied tightly with golden ropes, unable to move.

Qin Mu pulled the cloth out of her mouth and was about to untie the golden rope when he suddenly saw the sack still moving. There was another girl inside, arching her back and forth, with her little head sticking out.

Qin Mu was startled and hurried forward to rescue the other girl in the sack. It turned out to be Si Yunxiang, with disheveled hair and a panicked look.

Qin Mu's mind buzzed, and he stuttered, "Blind Grandpa, kidnap two of them..."

There was something rustling in the sack, and Qin Mu's face darkened. He saw a little girl sticking her head out and looking up at him as if asking for help.

Qin Mu was completely speechless.

"Why did you kidnap Ling'er as well?" He hurried forward and pulled out the little girl who was about six or seven years old.

"When they were trying to kidnap the princess and the saint, they kidnapped her by chance."

The blind man smiled and said, "They all live in the Shentong Residence of the Imperial Academy, which is right next door. It's better to have the best day than to wait for a better day. We will get married tonight and enter the bridal chamber! Which one do you like? Just pick it!"

Qin Mu pulled out the pieces of cloth from Si Yunxiang and Hu Ling'er's mouths. Hu Ling'er was overjoyed and said shyly, "Are you getting married today? I'm not ready yet..."

The blind man smiled and said, "It doesn't matter if it's a princess, a saint, or a little fox demon. It's okay to marry all three. I can also hold the baby faster. Tell me, which one do you choose?"

The three girls looked at Qin Mu nervously. Qin Mu said nothing and tried to untie their golden ropes. Suddenly, a head appeared from the golden rope, it tilted its head back and opened its mouth, almost biting his hand.

Qin Mu was startled and quickly retracted his hand.

"This is a dragon tendon, not an ordinary thing, you can't untie it."

The blind man sneered and said, "This dragon tendon is from a real dragon, not from these flood dragons."

Qin Mu sighed and said, "Blind Grandpa, you are making trouble again... Grandma, why are you here too?"

The blind man turned around hurriedly, and Qin Mu started running, using his full strength to use the Heavenly Stealing Leg and sped away.

The blind man raised his bamboo stick and pointed it lightly. Suddenly, all the strength of Qin Muren disappeared in mid-air and he fell to the ground.

Bang.

There was a sound of something heavy falling in the distance.

“It’s a worry.”

The blind man shook his head and pulled out a golden rope. The golden rope flew out and soon tied Qin Mu tightly, and then flew back to Long Qilin with Qin Mu.

"Blind grandpa, you're forcing a melon... ugh!"

The blind man stuffed a piece of cloth into his mouth, put it together with the three girls, and said to himself: "One bridal chamber a day, guaranteed sweet!"
