Chapter 1175 - Meeting old friends (2/2)
“No way! I think he’ll fully die, the completely through kind of death!”
“Shh, quiet.”
Qin Mu came to the back of Heavenly Teacher Fisherman. Heavenly Teacher Fisherman’s body was stiff, and his fishing rod was unstable.
Qin Mu said with a smile, “Heavenly Teacher’s Dao heart is unstable, be careful the fish will escape.”
Heavenly Teacher Fisherman snorted and stood up to put away his fishing rod. He took off his bamboo hat and turned around, “Whether I retreat or advance, I will still be cut. Are you here to beat me or scold me?”
Qin Mu was astonished, “Why do you say that?”
Heavenly Teacher Fisherman sighed and said, “During the Eternal Peace Calamity, when you needed us the most, we ran away. I let you down. No matter if you beat me or scold me, I won’t retaliate or talk back.”
In the fish basket, two little red fish looked out through the gaps in the basket. The little female fish whispered, “When they fight later, should we try to persuade them?”
“No.”
“Will we become cooked fish?”
……
Qin Mu raised his fist and punched Heavenly Teacher Fisherman’s chest, “Let this matter pass. Eternal Peace Calamity is a scar inflicted on my Dao heart. Now that I’m in Fengdu, all of you are re-opening this wound. My heart is also made of flesh, and it hurts a lot. Don’t mention it again.”
Heavenly Teacher Fisherman looked at him in a daze, “You… Alright, let’s not talk about it.”
Qin Mu revealed a smile and said, “The first reason I’m here is to see you guys, and the second is to find Heavenly King Di Yiyue and borrow her Mingdu Heavenly Gate to deal with Son of Heavenly Yin’s divine art. Does Heavenly Teacher know where she is?”
Fisherman Heavenly Teacher probed, “Aren’t you going to meet other people? For example, Old Man Qing Huang, Sakra Buddha, and Woodcutter.”
Qin Mu hesitated for a moment and nodded, “I will meet them.”
He took his leave, and God Chi Xiu brought him to the village where Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher was staying. Beside him was Bullfighting World, and Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher had even moved the rice fields and big willow trees into Fengdu.
Under the willow tree, Niu Sanduo was puffing on his water pipe. When he saw Qin Mu coming, he hurriedly stood up, not knowing what to do.
Qin Mu walked forward and smiled. “Senior Brother Sanduo, how have you been?”
“I’m fine, I’m fine!”
Niu Sanduo hurriedly said, “During the Eternal Peace Calamity…”
Qin Mu raised his hand and smiled, “There’s no need to mention it again.”
Niu Sanduo could only swallow his words back down and said, “Old master still doesn’t know you are coming. If he knew, he would definitely be so ashamed that he won’t have anywhere to hide.”
Qin Mu gave a slight smile, “Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher, using the Martial Path to attain godhood; naturally, his abilities are remarkable. How could he not sense thta I had come to arrived in Fengdu? He might hide for a while, but after he hides, he will still come out to see me.”
Right at this moment, Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher Guan Cha’s voice came from behind him, “After hearing the news of you coming here, I indeed hid. However, after thinking about it, I still have to come out to see you. I have let you down, and if I still hide, I will be even more impotent.”
Qin Mu turned around and smiled. “Heavenly Teacher…”
Suddenly, Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher fell to his knees and kowtowed a few times to him. A huge pit also appeared on the ground!
“I’ve always thought that I can stand upright and look up to Heaven and Earth with a clear conscience! However, I can never get over the Eternal Peace Calamity!”
Qin Mu was about to help him up when Martial Arts Heavenly Teacher used his vigorous cultivation to suppress him and force Qin Mu to accept his kowtow. He said solemnly, “The people of Bullfighting World are the descendants of the soldiers that died in Founding Emperor Era. Their divine bridges were destroyed, and generation after generation of people couldn’t avoid death. You saved them, but I left when you were in trouble! This isn’t the actions of a gentleman, it’s the actions of a villain!”
Qin Mu could only let him be.
If he stopped him from making amends, it would become an obstruction to his heart of martial arts.
