The old tree in the Mu family's "garden" that had been silent for a long time secretly pulled out a touch of new green under the thick branches that were about to die, which was extremely tiny. If you don't look closely, you can't be found.

The Mu family has its own guards in the "garden", but usually these guards are not visible, basically hidden in the dark, and the main thing they guard is to enter outside, as for the changes in the garden, they are not particularly concerned.

Everything in the "garden" involves the core secrets of the Mu family, they just have a heart, and they know very little about the things in the garden.

However, at the moment when the old tree pulled out the new green, the ancestor of the Shu family, who was sitting in the small wooden building, suddenly opened his slightly closed eyes, bursting out with a terrifying sharp edge!

"Providence so?" There was no expression on Master Mu's face, and even his tone was extremely indifferent, only a little fluctuating.

But if Mu Guanxiong is here, hearing Master Mu's voice, he will definitely lose his color.

The essence of the technique of Tianyan is tranquility, no tranquility is not Tianyan, the technique of Tianyan that has been passed down from generation to generation by the Mu family has been deeply studied for Ning Xin.

As an old man who is as fruitful as the Mu family, Master Mu is more sophisticated along the way. Usually, no matter how big or small, for Master Mu, the tone and aura will not fluctuate by half a point, even if he is forced to enter the mountain by the situation, the expression of this master ancestor did not fluctuate by half a point at that time.

The slight fluctuation between this tone and demeanor may be nothing to others, but for the ancestor of the Mu family, it is the ups and downs of the Dao heart!

"Come!" After only a little fluctuation, Mu Shizu returned to his usual indifference, and said towards the empty space of the small building without light or seriousness.

In the shadow of the small building, with the call of Master Mu, there was a piece of black that became more pure, and gradually arched into a human form in the shadows.

"Master." The humanoid shadow bowed down to Mu Shizu and knelt down on one knee, and the whole body was pitch black, and it was impossible to distinguish the appearance, but what could be distinguished was that the body shape of this humanoid shadow was moderate, and it was relatively refined and balanced.

"Let the head of the house come and see you!"

"Yes!"

The shadow of the human figure slowly faded and merged with the shadow of the small building. If it weren't for the initial humanoid shadow responding to two vocals, the scene just now would have been more like an illusion.

Mu Guanxiong soon received a summons from his ancestor. And the way the ancestor passed on the message made Mu Guanxiong's already hard face even more serious.

Shadow Guard Message! Mu Guanxiong knows what it means!

The Shadow Guard is a very secret force of the Mu family, except for the ancestor and him, the head of the family, the only people who know this power are a few elder-level figures who have not been born for a long time. It can be said that it is the core and most powerful secret force of the hidden clan like the Mu family. That is, the heritage of the family that is usually referred to by outsiders.

Under the wind and rain of the past dynasties, the role played by the shadow guard in the survival of the Mu family is almost similar to the current weight of the ancestor in the Mu family.

For Mu Guanxiong, this is the first time since he became the head of the family!

The ancestral training of the Mu family, if it is not about the survival of the Mu family, the shadow guard must not be used!

The situation was so important that Mu Guanxiong naturally did not dare to slack off, and opened a secret passage from the head of the family's mansion to the small wooden building, and in an instant, the person had already arrived before the ancestor of the Mu family.

"Master, what's wrong?" Mu Guanxiong tried his best to suppress the anxiety in his heart.

At this time, Mu Shizu's eyes had returned to a slightly closed state, and the whole person was sitting in the middle of the hall, lacking the usual calm atmosphere, and exuding a solemnity on his body for no reason.

"How many years have you been the head of the house?" Master Mu spoke slowly, but asked a question that was not related to the moment.

Mu Guanxiong was stunned for a moment, not knowing what the ancestor meant by this question, but he didn't dare not answer, so he said respectfully: "Guanxiong has the love of the elders, the director of the family has been in the family for seventeen years and eleven months, and there are three more days, exactly eighteen years." ”

Master Mu seemed to sigh softly, but there seemed to be no sound.

The ancestor didn't speak, and Mu Guanxiong didn't dare to ask again, standing quietly, and didn't dare to come out. Silence soon enveloped the small building, and the atmosphere became oppressive.

"Guanxiong, go and wake up the elders in retreat." After a long time, Master Mu spoke.

Such a faint sentence, for Mu Guanxiong, is tantamount to a thunderbolt on a sunny day.

There are only two conditions for awakening the elders in retreat: the first is the survival of the Mu family; The second is the change of the head of the family. Nothing else should awaken the elders in retreat.

Now that the Mu family is living well in the mountains, where is there any worry about survival?

Then it can only be a change of the head of the house!

The change of the head of the family is originally common for a thousand-year-old family like the Mu family, but since Mu Guanxiong took office, he has tried his best and not dared to slack off for a day, why did there suddenly happen to the change of the head of the family?

Secretly raised his eyes to glance at Master Mu, but saw that the thin old man had fallen into a state again, Mu Guanxiong didn't dare to straighten up, and withdrew from the door.

The retreat of several elders is extremely secretive, one of the secrets of the thousand-year-old family with countless secrets. It has its own special means of communication.

This means of communication has been in the hands of the head of the family for generations, and only the head of the family has the right to call on the elders.

There are five surviving elders of the Mu family, and two of them must not be alarmed by anything.

Even Mu Guanxiong only knew that these two elders were for the Mu family, unless they themselves were willing to come out, otherwise, even if the Mu family was destroyed, no one would dare to alarm these two.

Master Mu's so-called awakening is the three elders under the two Taisu. When the Mu family encounters a major event, the three elders and the ancestor discuss together, among which the head of the family is counted as one seat, a total of five seats.

Directional major events, so that the five seats will be decided.

Mu Guanxiong, who had retreated to the master's mansion, opened a secret door in the side compartment of the master's mansion and walked into a dark room.

The dark room was empty, only ten square meters square, and there were not even ventilation openings on the four walls. The light was even darker.

In this darkness, Mu Guanxiong walked to a thick stone wall without any mistake and turned the three knobs embedded deep in the thick wall.

As Mu Guanxiong turned the three knobs, there was a faint sound behind the stone wall, making a continuous heavy muffled sound.

Mu Guanxiong heard the sound of the machine, stood still for a while, then withdrew from the dark room, and sat upright on the main seat of the room master's mansion, his tiger eyes widened, without saying a word, as if waiting for something.

After about an hour, there was a commotion outside the chamber's house, and after a while, an unkempt man, as if he hadn't taken a bath in hundreds of years, walked in through the door.

Because he hadn't washed it for a long time, the sour smell emanating from this person's body had filled the entire room master's mansion far away. And the long hair was in strands, and bunches were scattered on the head, covering a face tightly from front to back, so that it could not be seen.

Walking on the ground with a pair of bare feet, it seems that he doesn't know the cold and heat.

When Mu Guanxiong saw this person, he changed his posture of sitting upright, got up from the main position of the room master and walked down.

"Guanxiong has seen the elders!" Mu Guanxiong walked in front of this person, and his attitude was very respectful.

"That's it!" The visitor waved his hand and walked around the main hall of the Lord's Mansion, as if he was looking at the architectural structure of the Lord's Mansion, as if he was looking for something.

"What's going on, you have to wake me up?" There was a slight vicissitudes in the voice of the visitor, but it was full of energy, and the specific age could not be heard.

"Obey the orders of the ancestors!" Mu Guanxiong said.

"Oh?" The man's footsteps stopped and turned towards Mu Guanxiong. After a little thought, he lifted his bare feet and was out of the door in an instant.

"I'll ask." While speaking, the other person has already gone out of the door, and the sound has gone far away.

"Congratulations to the Third Elder." Mu Guanxiong was in the main hall, bowing slightly, until the aura of the three elders like a flower completely disappeared.

The three elders don't care about the world, and Mu Guanxiong and these three elders have not had any substantive contact. All that is known is family accounts and hearsay.

It is said that among the three elders, this third elder is the closest to Tianyan, and he is almost able to reach the great perfection of Tianyan's technique.

When he was young, the three elders acted eclecticly, and they had the taste of ignoring the family rules as nothing, and in the eyes of the older generations at that time, they were quite deviant.

And the next two elders who entered the room master's mansion obviously paid more attention to grooming, and the two of them came together, both of them looked like fairies and bones, with crane hair and a childish face, a thin face, but they were full of energy, and they looked like a master outside the world.

"Guanxiong see the two elders." Although Mu Guanxiong is the head of the family, he is far from the elders in terms of seniority, and he is a courtesy to the juniors.

"Excuse me." The Great Elder raised his hand with a smile, held Mu Guanxiong's clutched fist and said, "In the blink of an eye, another ten years have passed, and the last time we met, it was still when the family was in turmoil. Ten years have passed, well, it is calm, and it is more family-oriented. ”

"The Great Elder praised, and the crown hero didn't dare to be ashamed."

"Hahaha, it's good to be in a high position and not arrogant." The second elder laughed and walked to Mu Guanxiong's side.

After the three of them had finished saluting, the Great Elder asked them why they had been awakened. Mu Guanxiong replied truthfully, and he didn't know the details, it was all the order of the ancestor.

The faces of the Great Elder and the Second Elder moved slightly when they heard this, thoughtful. Just thinking about it, he heard a burst of voices outside, but it was not the third elder who went and returned, and returned to the mansion of the head of the family.

Walking with the three elders was none other than the ancestor of the Mu family.

"A good thing, and a bad thing!" The three elders were obviously in a very good mood.

"How?" The two elders had always known that the third elder was not very reliable, and it was Master Mu who was asking.

"The old tree in the garden that has not lived for many years has sprouted!" Mu Shizu said lightly.

"Sizzle......" The Great Elder and the Second Elder gasped in unison. Mu Guanxiong was no exception, and he felt a chill all over his body.

"Is that true?" The elder took a cold breath and continued to ask.

"It's true!"

"This ......" The second elder's expression changed slightly, and he quietly glanced at Mu Guanxiong's face.

The old tree in the far corner of the garden has been dead for 500 years. In the past five hundred years, it has withered but not died, and has never seen budding.

The only condition that can make this old tree in the garden sprout is that someone can touch the layer of diaphragm in the realm of the Heavenly Evolution Technique!

Although the elders don't care about the world, they still have a good idea of the future of the family. Those who can reach the realm of the great success of the Tianyan technique, with the current situation of the Mu family, no one in the future has this possibility, including the current head of the family!

Who could that person be?
