11. Chapter 11: Succession

"Little wood! It's your turn to deliver food to Shen Gongzi today? ”

Hearing someone calling him by his nickname, Mu Xiaohang, who was carrying a food box, turned around and bowed to the senior brother and sister behind him and said, "Senior Brother Zhu, Senior Sister Wei, good morning." ”

"It's all a brother, don't be so polite! You selected disciples are like this, too regular! It's not fun! ”

Zhu Feizhen lifted the lid of the food box with one hand, and was slapped by the border guard Feihua: "Take your pig's trotters away!" That's for Shen Gongzi! ”

"Hey, Shen Gongzi, it makes everyone's hearts melt. Come, call Senior Brother Zhu Gongzi to listen. ”

Wei Feihua's face flushed, and he raised his palm to hit: "Zhu, you are big!" Zhu Gongzi, Zhu Bajie is about the same. ”

"Oh, don't fight, don't fight! Let the junior brother see the joke! Zhu Feizhen hid behind Mu Xiaohang and dodged Wei Feihua's fist.

"Who dares to laugh at me!" Having said that, Wei Feihua put down her fist and said angrily, "If you can save one hundred and eighty people every day like Shen Gongzi, don't talk about Zhu Gongzi, I will call Zhu Dawang!" ”

Mu Xiaohang trembled and didn't dare to move, before he entered, he imagined countless times what a person who cultivated immortals should look like. It must be a slender body, as if a fairy descended to earth. However, now that I have seen them, I feel that they are completely different from what I imagined. The monks seemed to ...... Seems only slightly more unscrupulous than mortals?

Mu Xiaohang had just passed the test of the Su family's selection of disciples a week ago, but because of his poor talent, he hung on the tail of the Sword Cultivation Academy, and was instructed to do chores that only the Heart Cultivation Academy should do. Fortunately, he was simple-minded and had no ambition to advance, so he spent a week in a mess. However, the people in the other courtyards saw that he was making a lot of miscellaneous things, and a few of them even mistook him for a disciple of the Cultivation Academy. No, it was because of the lack of manpower in the Xiuxin Academy, so he was forced into the job of "delivering food to Shen Gongzi in the back study" by a senior he didn't know.

However, he doesn't even know who Shen Gongzi is?!

Hearing Wei Feihua say, "Save one hundred and eighty people every day", Mu Xiaohang finally couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "Senior brother and sister, who is this Shen Gongzi?" ”

The two looked at each other, and Zhu Feizhen scratched his head: "This ...... Don't say anything if you're indecent......"

"Don't say anything indecent, it's like others can't see it!" Wei Feihua gave him a roll of his eyes: "Shen Gongzi is the one who lives in the backyard study." You're new here, so you don't know, he's the young master of the Shen family. ”

"Cut, I'm still the eldest son of the Zhu family!" Zhu Feizhen said disdainfully.

"Oh? Which Zhu family? The 'pig' family where Marshal Tianpeng was born? Wei Feihua was about to kick him again: "The little junior brother is asking me!" Let me finish first! ”

"The Shen family?! Red Lotus Shen Family?! One of the four masters of cultivating immortals?! Mu Xiaohang was taken aback: "Why is he here?" ”

Don't blame Mu Xiaohang for being surprised. Although the four families are famous, they each study in different fields. The Miaoshou Su family only accepts water spirit root disciples, the Red Lotus Shen family accepts more fire spirit root disciples, and the Qin Immortal Song family likes to accept wood spirit root and gold spirit root disciples. Only the Iron Pen Horse Family, because its territory is close to the Demon Domain of the Demon Domain, the junction of the three domains, as a buffer zone of the mortal realm, is frequently harassed by wars, so it accepts disciples in an eclectic manner, as long as it is a talent, it doesn't matter what spiritual root you have.

So...... Why didn't the Shen family cultivate their own son of Fire Spirit Root? Why would the Su family accept disciples who were not water spirit roots?

Wait a minute? Is the eldest son of the Shen family a fire spirit root?

"That's why I said don't say anything indecent!"

Zhu Feizhen made an unfathomable appearance, and seeing that there was no one around, he made a gesture of "get closer and listen" to the two, and said in a low voice:

"I heard that the head of the Su family has the intention of passing him over - oops! Eight Po! Why are you stepping on me! ”

"A dog can't spit out ivory!" Wei Feihua jumped to his feet angrily: "The head of the family himself has no son?!" Do you want to pass someone else's?! What's more, even if Uncle Wuyu is not the head of the family, there is still Uncle Wuwu! ”

"But it's Uncle Sanssouci who brought Shen An here!" Zhu Feizhen went around behind Mu Xiaohang again in an attempt to avoid Wei Feihua's attack: "You know Uncle Wuyu's body. When Uncle Sanssouci came over, everyone said that the head of the family wanted to succeed Uncle Sanssoucian, who knew that Uncle Sanssouci was messing around in the green building of the wine shop all day long and became like this. If Uncle Wuwu has a little conscience and wants to repay the family master's cultivation and nurturing grace, it is not strange to find someone who can inherit the Su family instead of him?! Besides, Shen An's mother was originally the Su family, in the final analysis, the fat water does not flow into the fields of outsiders. ”

"And you don't often go down the mountain, so you don't know the Shen family's attitude towards this young master." Zhu Feizhen learned to be obedient this time, he put Mu Xiaohang's body facing Wei Feihua, but he didn't let her get close to him: "They all call him 'Young Master of Waste', and the head of the Shen family doesn't want him for a long time." ”

"Won't it?" Mu Xiaohang hesitated: "I heard that people from families are more talented than those born like us. ”

"Uncle Feiyu is also from a family, what do you say about his talent?"

Mu Xiaohang tilted his head and thought for a long time, and said, "Uncle Feiyu...... Person...... Nice people. ”

"yes!" Zhu Feizhen spread his hands and said: "Four years ago, Shen An just came up, and when I just came down the mountain to travel, I met people from Red Lotus Mountain, and they said that Shen An had not yet opened his innate qi when he was fifteen years old, and his father was half angry. I also heard that Shen An is not doing his job, and he knows that he is messing with mortals under the mountain all day long, and he is accompanied by chickens, ducks, cows and sheep. ”

"Zhu Bapo!" Wei Feihua saw that he couldn't beat him, so he could only point to the other party's nose and scold: "That's not what that person said!" What that person said was obviously 'The young master of the Shen family is kind-hearted, and he often goes down the mountain to give alms to save the dead and help the wounded'! ”

"That's why it's even more suspicious that what he inherited was arranged a long time ago?!" Zhu Feizhen said triumphantly behind Mu Xiaohang: "Otherwise, he is the young master of the Shen family, why is he studying medicine?!" Isn't it just to leave a way back? If you can't inherit the Red Lotus Shen family, you can go to our Miaoshou Su family to eat. But it didn't work! His innate qi can't be opened, how many years will it take for Jin Dan to be refined? If you can't refine the golden pill, how can you lead the Su family? What's more, he looks soft and weak, and he can't fight when he looks at it. If a man can't fight, he can't claim to be a man! ”

"You think everyone is as savage as you are?!" Wei Feihua said angrily: "Shen Gongzi doesn't need to compare with people like you!" After he came, how many people in the realm of immortals did he save? You also traveled down the mountain...... It's pretty much the same as going down the hill to hang out! Shen Gongzi, stay in the Su family and don't take a step, free free clinic, how many people in the fairy realm already know that the Su family has such a benevolent gentleman, how many people know you in the fairy realm? ! ”

Zhu Feizhen clapped his hands happily: "Evidence! Do you see it?! This is the proof of buying hearts and minds! ”

"Villain! Shameless villain! Wei Feihua said angrily: "Zhu Feizhen! You...... You! I really have nothing to say to you! ”

Wei Feihua raised his eyebrows, flicked his sleeves and walked away without looking back. Zhu Feizhen saw that she was really angry, and he didn't care about Mu Xiaohang and wanted to pull him to ask questions, so he casually left a sentence: "Go back to the student hall to talk in a while!" Then he trotted to chase after Wei Feihua. Leaving Mu Xiaohang still confused, he couldn't figure out the situation.

Uncle Sanssouci was once a candidate for the next generation of family heads? But his reputation is so bad, is it really okay for the Su family to choose such a family head?

Also, isn't the Su family a generational medical cultivator? Why is Uncle Wuyu's body so bad that the head of the family needs to step someone else's child?

Mu Xiaohang shook his head and sighed in his heart: Probably...... This is the so-called healer does not heal himself.

Mu Xiaohang continued to walk to the backyard study with the food box, his mood was a little apprehensive, it stands to reason that with an identity like him, it is far from qualified to meet a person at the level of a young master of a family. However, if it is really as Zhu Feizhen said, this "Shen Gongzi" may become the young master of the Su family, then if he follows him closely now, will he soar in the future?

Mu Xiaohang hurriedly patted his face and scolded secretly: How can you think so! My mother said that the most taboo thing about cultivating immortals is to have distracting thoughts! You should climb up honestly one step at a time!

Finally walked to the backyard study, Mu Xiaohang took a deep breath, straightened his collar, and took a picture of himself on the black and shiny lacquered wood pillars outside the house - very good, clean and refreshing, a baby face looked honest and reliable and not annoying - my mother said that I was pleasing in appearance, and I would never be rich and depressed in the future.

What I lack is an opportunity.

Mu Xiaohang straightened his back and knocked lightly on the door: "Shen Gongzi, I am a new disciple Mu Xiaohang, I have come to deliver breakfast." ”

……

No response.

Mu Xiaohang stood stunned for a while, then knocked on the door again, and his voice was a little louder: "Shen Gongzi? I'm a new disciple, Mu Xiaohang! I'm here to deliver food! ”

……

"Strange? Is it the absence of people? Mu Xiaohang turned around outside the door, thinking: Senior Sister Wei said just now that Shen Gongzi always treats diseases and saves people, didn't he go to the "Hanging Pot Hall" early to start the free clinic?

Mu Xiaohang wanted to go back, but he thought that he might be seen by the greedy brothers with the food box, if they wanted to come up and steal a piece, they would offend people if they refused, but if they were found after agreeing, they would be punished for failing to complete the task. After thinking about it, Mu Xiaohang still decided to send the food box in first.

"Is there a person? I'm inβ€”comingβ€”comingβ€”"

The door that was opened made a "creaking" sound, and the light penetrated into the room one by one, and the room was closed so tightly that it was not breathable at all. All kinds of medical books were piled high, and a blank bamboo scroll lay open on the ground. Mu Xiaohang stepped into the doorway with one foot, stepped on another scroll on the ground, and almost fell on his back to the sky.

"What the hell is going on with this Shen Gongzi?! Why is the room so messy? ”

However, Mu Xiaohang thought again: With such a dedication to studying medical skills, free free medical treatment, and such a big deal of putting things around, this Shen Gongzi should be a very good person to get along with as Senior Sister Wei said.

Maybe this Shen Gongzi will really become the next head of the Su family? Mu Xiaohang said secretly: Although the three domains are now constantly fighting, although the mortal realm is neutral, everyone is in danger, even if a medical cultivation family like the Su family selects disciples, they also begin to choose those who are particularly talented in sword cultivation and martial arts cultivation. However, the ancestral training of the Su family has always been "hanging the pot to help the world, curing the sick and saving people", and in peacetime, it will not be a strange thing to let this Shen Gongzi inherit the Su family.

Speaking of which, I heard Senior Brother Zhu say just now that when Shen Gongzi was four years ago, his innate qi had not yet been opened, and he didn't know how his cultivation was now. He has the blood of the Shen and Su families in his body, even if he awakens late, as long as he can refine the golden pill, the position of the head of the family will still fall to his head.

Suddenly there was a groan. The groan interrupted Mu Xiaohang's thinking, and Mu Xiaohang groaned. The groan walked softly into the house, only to see a figure sleeping on the floor.

He is Shen Gongzi?

Mu Xiaohang tilted his head and called softly: "Shen Gongzi, I am the new Mu Xiaohang, I will bring you food." ”

The man lay on the ground, his arms clenched, his brows furrowed, as if he were fighting something in a dream.

Is he having nightmares?

Mu Xiaohang took a deep breath and prepared to wake up the other party loudly: "Shen-"

Mu Xiaohang suddenly felt that his throat was suddenly stuck, and he couldn't lift it in one breath, he slapped the hand stuck in his throat desperately, but he felt that the other party's hand was like an iron cast, and he couldn't shake it at all.

"Say! Who sent you? ”

The opponent's stagnant eyes were lifeless and full of murderous intent.

Let me go! Let me go!

Mu Xiaohang's throat was stuck and he couldn't make a sound at all, and his heart was pounding - he was going to die! He's going to die!

"Say! Who sent you to kill this throne? ”

"Rice...... Rice...... There was ......"

Mu Xiaohang felt that the air in his mind was getting thinner and thinner, his eyes rolled back involuntarily, he had never felt that the marks on the black lacquered wooden beams above his head were so clear-and then began to feel blurry in front of him......

Mother...... I'm going to die......

Just when Mu Xiaohang felt that he couldn't hold it anymore and fainted, the hand that was stuck in his neck suddenly loosened, and Mu Xiaohang hurriedly struggled out from under the man, desperately gasping for air.

He had never felt that air was such a beautiful thing.

"Shut up on this seat!"

After Mu Xiaohang gasped, he didn't dare to gasp loudly anymore...... His tears were holding back in his eyes, and he only swirled with grievance - I obviously didn't say anything......

The person in front of him knelt on one knee, covering his face with one hand and moaning constantly. groaning, it seems to be extremely painful. Mu Xiaohang saw him covering his head, and he didn't know who to yell at, and then began to talk to himself in a voice that he couldn't hear.

Mu Xiaohang wanted to escape, but his legs were weak, so he could only shrink into the corner as much as possible, begging the other party not to see him.

After a while, the person in front of him seemed to calm down, and the young man first looked around vigilantly. As soon as he turned his head, he caught a glimpse of Mu Xiaohang, who was hiding in the corner and shivering.

The man was stunned for a moment, but immediately changed his face, showing an extremely gentle and charitable expression, and said softly and slowly: "It was you just now...... I scared you, I was caught in a nightmare, and I didn't mean to hurt you, I'm really sorry. ”

No, no, no, no! Mu Xiaohang shook his head desperately in his heart, crying hard: You definitely really wanted to kill me just now!! Please don't laugh, the way you laugh now is really weird and scary!!

Who said he was weak and the willow helped the wind! Who said he had a good heart!!

This man is a psychopath!!!
