1663 Chapter 1657, paralysis in the village
The girl who was running around the tree also stopped and looked at Qin Mu curiously.
The young man who was slaughtering pigs under the tree wiped the blood off his face and looked at him with a fierce gaze. He seemed to be very hostile.
The old woman and the woman also turned their heads over. The woman used the back of her hand to wipe the sweat off her forehead and said with a simple smile, “It’s been a long time since someone came to our village. It’s rare for young master to travel such a long distance to find this place. Let’s have a meal before we set off?”
The old woman grinned, revealing two or three teeth as she said shakily, “We will set off after we have eaten...”
Qin Mu stopped and turned around, saying with a serious expression, “It’s better to obey than to be respectful. It’s difficult to reject everyone’s hospitality, so I thickened my skin to bother you.”After saying that, he walked towards the village.
He passed by the side of the pig slaughtering youth who was holding onto the pig slaughtering knife. The muscles and veins on his arm bulged out and he suddenly shrugged his shoulders as a threatening voice sounded out from his throat.
Qin Mu smiled slightly, “Good Knife.”
The pig slaughtering youth stretched out his tongue and licked the pig blood on the knife before grinning, “Naturally, it’s a good knife!”
Qin Mu walked past him and the youth held onto the knife as he stared at his back. Qin Mu seemed to be unaware as he walked forward and came to the front of the stone block.
The youth couldn’t find a chance to make a move and praised, “Good divine art! Young Master, you are harder to deal with than any pig I’ve killed!”
Qin Mu turned his head back and gave a brilliant smile, “You aren’t bad either.”
The old man was too old and struggled to get up. Qin Mu hurriedly bent down to help him up.
The old man’s skinny fingers grabbed the pulse of his right hand and raised his head to look at him with a smile. Qin Mu’s left hand naturally placed on the waist of the old man and looked at his eyes with concern.
The two of them laughed and the old man let go of his pulse. He waved his hand and said, “Even though the old man is old, he has to be very strong. I can walk! Young master is a good person, a good person who respects his elders!”
Qin Mu silently retracted his left hand and praised, “The old man is still young and strong, I admire him.”
“Young Master!”
The girl with the braids ran in front of Qin Mu and raised her head with sparkling eyes. She held a fruit in her hand and raised her hand, stretching her arm straight. “Young master, eat the fruit!”
Qin Mu’s gaze landed on the fruit in her hand. This fruit should have been plucked from that tree and its stems were still very fresh.
Qin Mu smiled, “I’m not eating it, little nan will eat it.”
The girl with the braid stretched out her arm and the fruit reached to his mouth. She said crisply, “Young master, Eat It!”
However, just as the fruit reached Qin Mu’s mouth, Qin Mu’s palm had already blocked it in front of him. With a finger, he pushed the fruit back gently and said with a smile, “Little Nan, eat it.”
The girl was having a hard time and when she saw Qin Mu pushing the fruit to her mouth bit by bit, beads of sweat started to form on her forehead.
Suddenly, the girl kept the fruit and jumped up and down as she ran away, “It’s fine if young master doesn’t want to eat it, but little girl will eat it herself!”
The old man smiled, “Young Master’s strength isn’t small.”
Qin Mu said humbly, “My strength is only slightly bigger than little girl’s and I’m a few years older, so it can’t be considered that big.”
He walked into the village with the old man, and the pig slaughtering youth carried half of the pig and the pig into the courtyard.
The woman had already washed her clothes and wiped her hands on her body. She immediately welcomed qin mu and said, “Young Master is an honored guest. I’ve been here for so long, but I’ve never seen someone as rich and noble as young master!”
She circled Qin Mu and sized him up a few times before praising, “So handsome!”
Qin Mu smiled and blocked her hand that was touching his face. “Men and women shouldn’t be intimate.”
The woman’s five fingers trembled, but Qin Mu always blocked it perfectly. The woman smiled and said, “Young master’s hands are also very handsome!”After saying that, she retracted her hand.
The old woman under the eaves snorted and said in a low voice, “Salted pig hands...”
The woman glanced at the old woman and was furious, she scolded, “You have the face to say that! Your whole family eats, drinks, poops, and sleeps every day, which one of you doesn’t rely on me to take care of them? If you don’t have me, all of you will have to drink the northwest wind! It’s not that I have fallen in love with young master’s beauty, but to find a husband for Little Nan! It’s hard to even find a man in this barren land!”
After she scolded, the old woman was so angry that she rolled her eyes.
The woman rushed back to her room in anger and slammed the door heavily.
The old woman calmed down and raised her head to look at Qin Mu with Dizzy Eyes. She said with a kind expression, “Young master, what do you think of Little Darling? Do you want to stay and Get Married?”
The girl with the braids felt extremely ashamed when she heard that and hid in the corner to peek at him. Her face flushed red and she was so embarrassed that she didn’t dare to come out.
Qin Mu shook his head and said, “I’ve already gotten married, my wife is kind and virtuous.”
The old woman sighed, “That’s a pity. This old body isn’t convenient, young master, can you go to that tree and pluck some fruits for this old body?”
She raised her hand and pointed. Qin Mu looked in the direction of her finger and saw four fruits hanging on a big tree and a blooming flower.
Qin Mu retracted his gaze and smiled, “The tree is too tall, I’m afraid I Won’t be able to climb up. However, I have a treasure sword that is extremely sharp and can cut down the tree. I’ve cut down similar trees before.”
The old man hurriedly said, “Don’t cut, don’t cut! After cutting it down, how are we going to eat the fruits?”
The old woman smiled and said, “After all, you are a young master from the city. Your limbs aren’t diligent and your grain isn’t distinguished. You can even say such words like cutting down a tree.”. Even though the old man is old, he still loves beauty. There’s no mirror in the village so I’ll have to trouble young master to go outside and cut down a mirror.”
She emphasized the word “City”very heavily.
Qin Mu smiled, “The stone tablet outside is too hard, I’m afraid I won’t be able to cut it off.”
The woman was in the house slaughtering pigs and vegetables, turning them into dishes. Qin Mu, on the other hand, was talking to the old man and the old woman outside.
“Your village doesn’t have a lot of people, but there are quite a lot of trees.”
Qin Mu looked around and said, “There are six people and eight trees.”
The old man smiled and said, “How are there six people? Young master can’t even count? It’s clearly our family of five.”
Qin Mu glanced at the half pig hanging under the tree at the entrance of the village and smiled slightly. He didn’t say much and asked, “When did elder move to this quiet place?”
“I don’t remember that.”
The old man thought for a moment and said, “I only remember that the world was in chaos and the people had no way to live. We were chased here by bad people. Young master, is it still chaotic outside?”
Qin Mu clapped his hands and praised, “You guys are really lucky!”! The outside was even more chaotic than before. There were fights and killings every day and blood flowed like a river. It was still better here. It was quiet and peaceful, with a rich life and no worries. “Elder, it’s better for your family to stay here and not go out.”
The old woman smiled and said, “Staying here for too long is also weird and boring. We still want to go out and walk around.”
Qin Mu smiled and shook his head. “It’s better not to go out. It’s too chaotic outside and I’m worried about the bodies of the two elders. If anything were to happen, dying outside wouldn’t be worth it.”
The expressions of the old woman and the old man changed slightly. The old woman raised her hand to pull the hairpin from her head. The old man raised his hand to block her and shook his head silently. The old woman put her hand down.
Qin Mu ignored her and said, “Eight trees, two more trees. May I ask where the other two elders have gone?”
The old man sighed and said, “As expected, we still can’t hide it from young master. This other person is a cripple. He has been paralyzed on the bed for almost ten years.”
Qin Mu was moved and sighed, “To be honest, I have learned medical skills and am quite proficient in the path of medicine. I have always had a compassionate heart to save the dying and heal the injured. May I ask where this cripple is? Allow me to go and treat him, I might be able to cure him.”
The old man trembled as he got up. The woman came out from the room and tidied up the tables and chairs, preparing to set the table. When she saw them get up, she couldn’t help being angry, “Dinner is about to start, where are you guys going?”
“Young master is proficient in medical skills, let’s go take a look at that cripple.”
The old man seemed to be afraid of her and immediately smiled apologetically, “The cripple has been lying there for a long time and you are always taking care of him. Who knows, he might be cured by young master.”
The woman asked suspiciously, “That cripple has to be taken care of by me even when he is defecating and urinating, yet he can be cured? Do you think this young master can be a good person?”
“Treat a dead horse as a living horse doctor.”
Qin Mu followed the two old men into the room and saw a young man lying sprawled on the bed. His breathing was completely gone and he was already a dead man.
Qin Mu looked at the young man and after a long time, he said slowly, “Master of Heaven’s capital, I finally have the chance to meet you.”
The expressions of the old man and old woman changed drastically, and they almost couldn’t help killing him!
The old woman forced a smile. “Could young master recognize this cripple?”
“There aren’t many people who have the qualifications to die at the hands of the Master of Mycroft Palace. Master of Heaven’s capital is one of them.”
Qin Mu carefully observed the injuries on the cripple’s body. They were injuries caused by the primordial chaos divine art, which was even more complicated and mysterious than the red rope knots qin mu had seen in sinkhole!
The only existence that possessed such power was the Master of Mycroft Palace!
Even though great young master had learned everything from the Master of Mycroft Palace, Qin Mu had seen the seal of great young master. Even though it was exquisite, it hadn’t surpassed Qin Mu’s horizons.
The injuries on this young man had already surpassed Qin Mu’s horizons. The only one that could leave such injuries was the Master of Mycroft Palace.
Qin Mu had once used the perspective of the master of Tiandu to see the DAO practitioners of tiandu working together to open up heaven and earth. He had also seen the master of Myluo Palace killing the Master of Tiandu, which was why he had made such a judgment.
The old man and Old Woman’s performance had confirmed his guess!
“Back then, the Master of Tiandu who had opened up the seventh epoch of the universe had never expected his corporeal body to be suppressed here after his death.”
Qin Mu straightened his back and shook his head. “I can’t treat his injuries. However, there’s one person who can. The purpose of my trip is to find this person. His name is Taiyi, do you guys recognize him?”
The old woman and the old man looked at each other and shook their heads.
At this moment, the woman’s voice sounded out. “The food is ready. The two old fogeys, hurry up and invite young master to Eat!”
At the dining table, Qin Mu sat down. The old man and the old woman accompanied him while the pig-slaughtering youth sat opposite him. The woman continued to stir-fry the food while the braid girl with Goat Horns was squatting under the tree with a bowl in her hand and was snoring as she ate. She didn’t come to the table.
“In the wilderness, there’s no good wine to entertain young master from the city, please forgive me.”
The old woman was very attentive and said, “Young master, Eat!”
Qin Mu didn’t move his chopsticks and looked around. “Out of the eight trees, only seven are left, what about the remaining one?”
The old man pretended to be deaf and dumb. The woman carried a basin of pig slaughtering vegetables and came forward. She put down the basin and wiped her hands on the apron, she gave a simple and honest smile and said, “Where is the remaining one? Furthermore, there are only six people including the cripple here. Including young master, there should be seven people, right? The young master from the city must not have good algebra!”
Qin Mu smiled, “How can we eat without all of us?”
The old man opened his mouth and was about to speak when the pig slaughtering youth in front of Qin Mu suddenly flew into a rage. He pulled out his pig slaughtering knife and stabbed it into the middle of the dining table, his killing intent billowing to the heavens, he said sternly, “What are you talking about? I can’t hold it in any longer! Just raise your knife and kill this fellow!”
The food on the plate flew up and the pieces of pork meat and pig slaughtering vegetables flew into the air one after another, forming half of a pig in the air. The pig’s eyes were wide open.
The other half of the pig hanging at the entrance of the village ran over with two legs. The two pieces of pig merged together and shouted, “You’re right! When have we ever been afraid? Who cares about the seventh young master of the Miluo Palace? Just kill him!”
