Rekindle the Sun

Chapter 392 Rekindling the Sun

On the sun boat, the pure yang energy here is more intense, but it is not hot. Instead, it feels as warm as spring.

The sun boat was huge, and the land on it was vast, but for the Sun-Shepherding Tribe, this habitat was not that big, because they were giants more than ten feet tall!

Ling Yuxiu, Si Yunxiang and others could not help but marvel when they saw the giants as big as hills everywhere in this tribe of gods. Even the children among the Sun Shepherds were two or three meters tall, with muscles and strong power. The slightest movement would make them covered with lumps of flesh.

"That sun guardian should also be a giant."

Ling Yuxiu breathed a sigh of relief and thought to herself, "The cowherd is here to help light the sun, not to flirt with women. Such a big giant can't possibly like a tiny guy like him. Moreover, this Yan Jingjing is a deity. Even if she is a goddess, she must be even more muscular. If she smiles a little, her face will be full of flesh, and she will be terrifyingly strong. Although the cowherd's aesthetic taste is a bit weird, it can't be this weird!"

Qin Mu looked around and saw that there lived a tribe of Sun Shepherds. The reason why they were called Sun Shepherds was that the literal meaning was that they were a group of people who herded the sun.

This is the same as the Moon Shepherd, which also means someone who herds the moon.

Since it is herding, there must be more than one sun or moon, but groups of suns and moons. I think at a certain period in history, the sun herders would drive the suns one by one to move across the dark continent, from the east to the west, to dispel the darkness.

At night, the Moon Shepherds would walk in the ruins with the moons, over and over again.

The Sun Boat looked more dilapidated than before. The last time Qin Mu saw this ship, the deck was still intact. Although there were many traces of battles left, the Sun Shepherds cleaned it very cleanly and made it very sacred.

However, there were ruins everywhere, and many people in the Sun Shepherd tribe were injured. When the injured saw the tribe leader leading Qin Mu and others, they held their breath and waited until Qin Mu and others walked away before they groaned softly. But they still clenched their teeth and tried to keep their voices down.

They tried to retain their dignity.

"Chief, you have the bravest warriors in the world!" Qin Mu said with reverence in his heart.

"There are no cowards among the Shepherds of the Sun!" the old patriarch's voice was like a bell.

Qin Mu saw wisps of black smoke coming out of the wounds of some Sun Shepherds. Those were the burns left by the powerful demonic powers. The pure yang energy of the Sunwell was helping them to refine the demonic energy.

Not long after, they passed by a dilapidated temple of the Sun Shepherd. A half-broken halberd was stuck in the center of the hall. Black air was billowing all around, and shrill screams were coming from the black air.

"Master, it's the devil's soldiers!" Si Yunxiang whispered.

Qin Mu nodded without saying anything. As the leader of the Heavenly Demon Sect and the helmsman of the largest demonic sect in Yankang Country, he was naturally no stranger to the demonic world.

Qin Mu believed in the pursuit of knowledge through investigation of things, the unity of knowledge and action, and the magic of application, which lies in one's heart. The first part refers to learning, discovering, and acting, while the second part means letting nature take its course, which is called Tao.

So he doesn't care about how to distinguish between gods and demons.

The Great Yutian Demon Sutra, if the devil is in your heart, it is the devil's way of practice, if the god is in your heart, it is the god's way of practice, if the Buddha is in your heart, it is the Buddha's way of practice.

However, judging from the wounds on these Sun Shepherd warriors and this demonic weapon, the alien warriors who attacked the Sunwell had extremely high attainments in the way of magic, which had surpassed the level of cognition of him, the Lord of the Heavenly Demon.

"When facing the attack of the foreign demon god, the Moon Guardian of the Moon Shepherd chose to flee, abandoning his people and running to Fengdu for refuge. But the Sun Guardian was willing to stay with his people and protect them even if he died."

Qin Mu thought of the girl whose legs were emaciated by the sun boat, and thought to himself, "The integrity of the sun is much higher than that of the moon."

When they passed a ruin, they saw a huge golden bell. The bell was more than ten feet high. From time to time, clanging sounds could be heard from inside the bell. Black smoke was floating under the bell, and there should be some powerful existence suppressed inside. Beside the bell, there were several sun herders who were using the sun's true fire to refine the powerful being suppressed inside the bell.

In addition, some sun shepherds were piling up the corpses of some strange monsters and burning them with real fire, which emitted a disgusting stench.

Si Yunxiang and Ling Yuxiu both frowned, wondering what race this was and why they were attacking the Sunwell.

Qin Mu explained: "The Sun Shepherd is the guardian of Daxu. Many people in Daxu don't know how many times the Sun Shepherd has helped them resist danger. The last time the National Master invaded Daxu, he was forced back by the Sun Shepherd. The gods and demons from other worlds who want to invade Daxu also need to get past the Sun Shepherd and the Moon Shepherd first. The Moon Shepherd has been extinct, and only the Sun Shepherd is left."

Ling Yuxiu's face turned slightly red.

When Imperial Master Yankang attacked Daxu, she was also there, responsible for exploring the way, and it was at that time that she came into contact with Qin Mu. If Imperial Master Yankang really attacked Daxu at that time, then what would have greeted Imperial Master Yankang would have been an extremely painful lesson!

They came to the center of the Sun Boat and finally saw the Sun Guardian.

Only Yan Jingjing's head and hands were left outside; her body had already sunk into the sun boat. Her four hands grasped four thick pillars, and a terrifying divine aura emanated from her.

"Jingjing, the young man Qin Mu from Xianglong City is here to see you." The old patriarch came to her side and whispered.

"Is it the cowherd boy who came to see me?"

Yan Jingjing let go of the hand holding the pillar and tried to break free from the solar boat, but her body had already merged with the solar boat and she couldn't get out. She panted and said, "I can't get out. I can't see you. Come over here."

Qin Mu walked forward and walked around to her front. Yan Jingjing's face still had the childishness of a child. She looked in the direction of Qin Mu and smiled and said, "You're here? It's great to see my childhood playmate again."

Qin Mu stood in front of her, looked into her eyes carefully, and said softly: "I'm here. I've grown up a little."

Her eyes were filled with blazing flames, like two little suns, but she could no longer see anything in her eyes. They were completely filled with the sun's true fire and the structure of her eyes disappeared.

She loosened her grip on the pillar and her body shrank rapidly, but the ground of the solar boat also shrank, keeping her trapped.

The sun is in this state, and the moon is in this state.

As long as you take the responsibility of guarding the Sun and the Moon, you will gradually merge with the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat, entrust your life to the boat, and allow the Sun Boat and the Moon Boat to absorb your vitality until you completely become a part of the boat.

Qin Mu had a complicated expression. He had become the Moon Guardian when he was looking for the villagers, but it only took him a short time to escape from the Moon Boat, so the loss to himself was not great.

However, Yan Jingjing had lost too much and had merged too much with the Sun Boat, so she would not live long.

The more she activated the power of the Sun Boat, the more she merged with it, and the more her life was lost. Her flesh and blood had basically completely merged with the Sun Boat, and Qin Mu was not sure whether he could save her even if he reignited the sun.

The girl was very thin when she was not holding the pillar. Her neck was so thin that it seemed unable to support her head and looked like it could break at any time.

She said that he was her childhood playmate, but in fact Qin Mu had only met her once.

She had no playmates.

She is the Sun Guardian. The tribesmen are in awe of her. The young boys and girls in the tribe are full of respect for her and will not play with her. She has been responsible for shouldering the heavy burden of protecting the race and the big ruins since she was young.

At the edge of Xianglong City, Qin Mu, a young man from a foreign tribe, came to the boat and chatted with her for a while. After a while, she began to treat Qin Mu as a playmate and a confidant.

To some extent, Qin Mu and she are of the same kind.

Qin Mu had no playmates when he was young. Every day he learned all kinds of knowledge from the elders in the village and practiced hard. He had no peers to play with him.

However, Qin Mu had nine elders who took good care of him, and Yan Jingjing's elders were also in awe of her.

Si Yunxiang, Hu Ling'er and Ling Yuxiu came to Yan Jingjing and felt sorry for her. This girl was about the same age as them, but the burden she carried was countless times heavier than theirs.

Si Yunxiang couldn't help but say, "The sun has gone out, but there are still many in the Sun Well. Why don't you get a new sun? I see that these chains of yours have tied up the black sun. Can't you use these chains to catch the new sun?"

"These chains were forged by the Tiangong clan, and the Tiangong clan is now extinct."

The old patriarch said: "The chains forged by our Sun Shepherds' true fire cannot withstand the true fire of the sun, and we cannot fish out a new sun. We have tried countless times."

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly, thinking of the conversation between the Dragon King and the mute, and said: "There is still a natural craftsman in this world, and it is possible to refine such a chain."

The old clan leader looked at him, shook his head and said, "The remaining Tiangong are in Wuyou Township. If you can return to Wuyou Township, you might be able to bring a Tiangong to save our Mu Ri tribe. It's a pity that you haven't been able to return to Wuyou Township yet, right?"

Qin Mu shook his head and said, "I really didn't return to Wuyou Township. I came here this time to help you light the sun. Even if I can't light it, I still have other skills. I learned blacksmithing from Tiangong, maybe I can help you make a new chain to fish out a new sun."

He smiled brightly and said to the skinny girl who only showed her head: "I'm here to fulfill my promise. I promised you that I will not go back on my word."

He stood up, looked up at the black sun in the sky, and said calmly: "You once told me that if I lit this sun, you could escape. If I light this sun now, can you still escape from the solar boat?"

"I don't know." The fire in Yan Jingjing's eyes suddenly became stronger, and it seemed that a glimmer of hope had emerged again.

The old chief of the Sun Shepherds looked gloomy and said, "My dear Qin, although you are a visitor to Wuyou Township, you have not returned to Wuyou Township and do not have the ability to ignite the sun. Moreover, even if you ignite it, the Sun Guardian will not live for a few more years. Her life has almost been consumed. When a person dies, it is like a lamp going out. The lamp oil will soon run out..."

He cheered up and said, "Don't worry about it! We the Sun Shepherds are selecting the next Sun Guardian. As a guest of Worry-Free Township, come and witness the birth of the next Sun Guardian! Tonight, foreign monsters will come to attack again, so we must select a Sun Guardian in case of any eventuality!"

Qin Mu shook his head, extremely stubborn: "Whether it can light the sun or not, I will give it a try!"

The old chief shook his head and left with his people to prepare for the selection of the Sun Guardian.

Qin Mu took out the Sun Jade Eye, placed it on the ground, looked up at the Black Sun, thought for a moment, raised the Jade Eye high, and ran towards the Black Sun along the chain: "Wait for me here, I'll go light the sun and come back!"

Ling Yuxiu hurriedly shouted: "When the sun burns, it will burn you to death!"

"Won't!"

The sound of the flute came, and a group of fire dragons flew out and followed Qin Mu closely. Qin Mu said from a distance: "With these dragons, we can escape!"

"Sun Guard, is this sun of yours a real one or a fake one?" Ling Yuxiu asked hurriedly.

Yan Jingjing said: "It is a creation of God. It is said that it is a treasure refined by the Heavenly God Sister Qing."

“Oh no!”

Ling Yuxiu's scalp tingled. The cowherd ran over without asking clearly. When this treasure of the gods burned, the power of the gods would be pervasive, and there was a fear that the cowherd boy and the dragons would be burned to ashes!

"Doesn't that mean that I can succeed the position of the leader?" Si Yunxiang's eyes suddenly lit up.

Ling Yuxiu glared at her, and Si Yunxiang quickly laughed and said, "I was just kidding. I don't want to be a young widow. I think that since you are a sun shepherd, you must be able to resist the sun's divine fire. Maybe you can ask the old patriarch to help protect the leader."
