Wang Muran rode his buck over and shook his head. ”The old people are really worrisome.”
Qin Mu was astonished. ”Your side as well?”
Wang Muran nodded and said, ”There are thirteen such elders in Little Jade Capital. Including the newly arrived old Daoist and old monk, we have fifteen of them now.”
Qin Mu smiled and said, ”My village only has eight and a half, so I can be said to be slightly luckier.”
”Luckily I have Senior Sister Qingdai and Senior Brother Long Yu to help me share the burden,” Wang Muran said.
Qin Mu's face blackened. He was the only young person in their village. Granny Si was also young of course; however, she always liked to act old.
The two of them walked forward at a steady pace while waiting for Mu Qingdai to find Long Yu. Not long later, she dragged Long Yu back, who looked slipshod. He had removed all of his clothing and when Mu Qingdai found him, he was sprinting around in the capital city only in his underpants, dancing and singing while babbling nonsense.
At that time, Mu Qingdai gave this big senior brother three slaps to wake him up. Long Yu then spat out a few mouthfuls of blood that had clotted his heart and followed her with his head held low.
Wang Muran let the two of them sit on the back of the buck. Even though Long Yu was no longer crazy, he had still crumbled.
Qin Mu smiled and said, ”Senior Brother Long Yu, what's the difference between knowing and not knowing how high and thick is the sky? The sky is there, no matter if you know about it or don't. It is still there. Maintain your heart as usual and work hard to cultivate. You should focus on going breaking the sky and going outside once you have gained enough strength.”
”I understand what Human Emperor is trying to convey, but whenever I think that all of this is fake, I can't help losing my fighting spirit,” Long Yu said sorrowfully.
Qin Mu understood this kind of feeling. Not everyone could walk out of the shadow as fast as Dao Master Lin Xuan.
The astronomical phenomenon was fake, and this incident dealt the greatest blow to Dao Master Lin Xuan. However, Long Yu didn't have the position and the responsibility of Dao Master Lin Xuan, so his ability to handle shock was slightly inferior.
However, given enough time, Long Yu would also walk out of the shadow.
”Since Senior Brother Long Yu is here, let us hurry on our way.”
Wang Muran gave an order, and clouds immediately grew under the buck's feet as it rose into to leave. The dragon qilin immediately followed after, and the buck looked back with a disdainful glance, increasing its speed.
The dragon qilin was furious and tried his best to keep up. After a hundred miles of running, the dragon qilin started to pant heavily with his eyes rolling backward. ”There's no need for me to stoop to the level of a dumb buck, right? Cult Master, I'm right, aren't I? We are not competing in speed, but in endurance!”
Qin Mu acknowledged it with a black face.
The dragon qilin slowed down and looked at the buck bringing Wang Muran and the rest to disappear into the distance.
The dragon qilin ran five thousand miles and was so tired that he couldn't catch his breath. He whined for a break, so Qin Mu allowed him a stop. He made a fire to cook a meal while the dragon qilin snored while sprawled on the ground.
Once Qin Mu finished eating and drinking, he called the dragon qilin for quite some time before he slowly crawled up and hurried along unwillingly. He ran from day to night and night to day yet still couldn't see the buck, nor Wang Muran and the rest.
”That dumb buck's endurance isn't bad as well…” Fatty Dragon said ashamedly.
Qin Mu acknowledged it with a black face and threw over one Scarlet Fire Spirit Pill. ”Your rations for today.”
The dragon qilin was aware of his own incompetence and carefully licked the pill. He didn't dare to eat it in one mouthful. After licking it for over a dozen times, he finally finished it. In the end, Qin Mu couldn't bear to be so cruel and grabbed some more for him.
The dragon qilin was elated, and he immediately ate all of them. He said, ”Cult Master, don't worry, I will run with all my life and will definitely catch up to that dumb buck!”
”That buck isn't dumb, my dragon qilin is the dumb one,” Qin Mu criticized.
The dragon qilin sprinted through the sky. Not long later, lingering notes of a flute reached them, and Qin Mu looked around in astonishment. The dragon qilin was running in midair, and even though his speed couldn't be compared to that of the buck from Little Jade Capital, it wasn't slow. Wind howled past them as he moved.
For the sound of the flute to be able to reach them, it couldn't have been played by an ordinary person.
As Qin Mu thought that, the dragon qilin suddenly swayed his head to follow the sound of the flute as though he was drunk. He sprinted down from the sky.
The sound of the flute was very charming. It played a style of folk song that was sometimes high and sometimes low, sounding very cheerful and lighthearted, thus the dragon qilin also danced around in the sky, skipping here and there in glee. His big tail whooshed as he swept it around.
Another long note came from the flute, and the dragon qilin sprinted straight downwards, into a forest.
”Fatty Dragon, stop!” Qin Mu immediately shouted, but what could it help when the dragon qilin seemed to be entranced. He totally couldn't hear those words and seemed to not have any control of his own body as he rushed straight down.
Qin Mu hurriedly rose into the sky and flashed to the front of the dragon qilin. He pressed his two hands on the dragon qilin's head and pushed with force as he shouted, ”Fatty Dragon, wake up!”
He used the incantations of buddhism, and his voice boomed like thunder. However, the dragon qilin continued to rush forward as though he heard nothing.
Qin Mu erupted with all his strength, but he still couldn't fight against the strength of the dragon qilin. He got pushed into the forest, and cold sweat started to drip from Qin Mu's forehead. The sound of the flute was becoming clearer and louder.
He turned back to take a look and saw a huge red flood dragon coiled around the mountain with its huge head lying on the ground. Its mouth was wide open like a gigantic cave while its teeth were like sharp stalactites that were dripping with saliva.
The sound of the flute was coming from the head of the red dragon where a girl in a long dress was sitting. Even though the song was cheerful, the girl's face was ice cold.
”Long Jiaonan!”
