Qianyuan Empire, the imperial capital Guangyuan City, the Mu family's mansion.

It's still early in the morning, and it's only 6:30, and it's the time when the winter sun rises in the east. There are still two hours before today's Congress, but at this time, Mu Yunmu has already changed into court clothes. He was sitting in the main chair in the front hall, looking at the two reports in his hand with a sad expression and a hint of confusion.

On Mu Yun's side, sitting was Mu Yun's eldest son, the young master of the Mu family, Mu Fan. Since it was already early in the morning after writing the incident report with Mu Xue last night, he was woken up early in the morning, and Mu Fan, who was sleep-deprived, kept yawning, looking drowsy.

But as we all know, it is not a problem for people with advanced cultivation to stay awake for a few days and nights, so Mu Yun naturally knows that Mu Fan's current appearance is pretending, in order to pretend that he participated in the incident of the demon beast because of Mu Yun's arrangement, and then dissociate himself from the incident of last night.

"In the report you wrote, that's all you investigated last night?"

In the face of Mu Yun's words, Mu Fan rubbed his eyes and stretched his waist and said, "Of course, there is absolutely no oil and vinegar, and there is absolutely no hidden branches and leaves, what is written above is all I see." ”

Mu Yun glanced at Mu Fan and compared the two reports in his hand again: "Then why is there such a big discrepancy between your report and the report of the demon hunting group I found?"

"Normal. Mu Fan said disapprehantly, "The demon hunting group is a participant, and I am a bystander, how can it be the same." ”

"Hmph. Mu Yun slapped the two reports directly on the tea table, "With such a report, how can you let me show it to the emperor." ”

Mu Fan also glanced at his father, and said in a tone that he already knew: "Don't you still have one in your pocket?" ”

"You ......"

"All right, my old father. This kind of report must have been handed in by someone from the military department first, and it will be your turn. Let's think about how to bring the culprits behind the scenes to justice, Your Excellency. ”

"It's not your turn to worry about that. Mu Yun said angrily, "Zhao Deling, in order to hunt demon beasts, opened the city protection formation privately, and his crime should be punished, and it is still the crime of the nine clans!"

After Mu Yun finished speaking, he turned his head to see that Mu Fan didn't seem to listen to himself, but looked thoughtful.

"What are you thinking?" asked Mu Yun.

"No, I suddenly remembered if the Spider Emperor would break away from the demon body before he died, and then parasitize on the human body?"

Mu Yun frowned, but then said, "Didn't you say in your report that the Spider Emperor hadn't opened his spiritual wisdom yet?"

"And what if it suddenly turns on its sanity before it dies?"

"Where did you get so much in case!" Mu Yun slapped Mu Fan's head with a palm, "You don't have to get involved in this matter, the people from the garrison and the demon hunting group will figure things out." I have important things to tell you today. ”

After speaking, Mu Yun took out an invitation from his cuff and handed it to Mu Fan. Mu Fan took the post curiously, opened it and saw that it was actually an invitation to participate in the highest level of the empire's young monk competition, the Xuantian Dao League.

Mu Fan frowned and looked at the post with a puzzled expression, but his heart was already happy.

But Mu Fan didn't show it, he closed the invitation and sighed: "The requirements for the Xuantian Dao Tournament should be under twenty-five years old, and the cultivator is below the peak of the Seventh Realm Immortal Realm, why did the league committee send me an invitation?"

"I came to Fengzong to give it. Mu Yun sat back in his chair and continued, "They say that the person who marries the Feng Girl must be the dragon among the people, and the Feng Sect wants you to win the league championship before he is willing to marry the Feng girl." ”

"Dragons among people......" Mu Fan thought to himself, "In this Qianyuan Empire, apart from Old Man Feng, how many other people can be regarded as dragons among people?"

Although the request to come to Fengzong made Mu Fan feel a little unexpected, it was still reasonable.

So Mu Fan didn't panic, he put down the invitation, and sighed again: "It seems that Laifeng Sect has a better choice, and there is no need to invest in the Mu family." ”

"If you want to get to my position at your age, although the support of coming to Fengzong is not important, it is also an indispensable link. ”

Mu Fan sneered: "It's useless, I've already broken through the Immortal Realm to the Great Sage Realm, and I can't participate in this league." ”

Mu Yun sighed, his face was embarrassed, he organized his words, and took out a porcelain bottle from his sleeve, at this time his hand trembled a little: "This is the Xuan Yuan Dan, it should be a scattered gong that allows the monk to have no side effects, and you can re-cultivate after the scattered exercise." ”

Mu Yun's sudden suggestion really exceeded Mu Fan's expectations, and he asked his father in disbelief: "Chu Yuan Dan, now that I have two months to leave the competition, do you think I can become immortal in two months?"

Mu Yun didn't answer Mu Fan's words, but took out another bottle from his sleeve: "This is Xie Yuan Dan, which can forcibly suppress the cultivator's cultivation, but it will take a long time to recover to the peak." ”

"Uh......" His father's terrible thought made Mu Fan have to rub his temples and think about it: "Dad, is it necessary for you to do this? This invitation from Lai Fengzong is just trying to force us to withdraw from the marriage." ”

Mu Yun sighed heavily, he felt that the burden on his body was a little heavier, and he said earnestly: "I am also for the continuation of the Mu family. ”

Mu Fan looked at his father with complicated eyes, and when he grew up, Mu Fan gradually understood his father's hardships. After all, no one wants a prestigious clan to be ruined in their own hands like this. And once Mu Yun steps down from the Ministry of Justice, the Mu family will face falling apart and falling down.

For a while, the father and son, who didn't know what to say, fell silent. After a long while, Mu Yun took out a pocket watch from his cuff and looked at the time, it turned out that it was time to go to the Congress. Mu Yun stood up from his chair, he didn't speak, but walked directly out of the hall.

"What about the academy?" Mu Fan, who was still in the chair, then asked.

"Don't think about those who don't have it, the last hole card of the Mu family in the academy. Mu Yun turned around and said solemnly, "I allow you to cultivate at home, but you must first ensure that there are no problems with the Royal Academy!"

"By the way, one more thing. Mu Yun, who had all walked to the door, suddenly turned around, "I heard that a famous elder was killed a few days ago in the rivers and lakes, and you must not get involved in this matter." ”

Looking at the back of Mu Yun leaving, Mu Fan, who stayed in the front hall, walked to the tea table, picked up two bottles of pills, and raised his signature evil smile on the corner of his mouth: "Scatter Gong, withdraw from marriage, and be really dirty." ”

The four major families of the Qianyuan Empire include the Xiao family, the Mu family, the Shantai family and the Cang family. Cangtian Master, the ancestor of the Cang family, was the teacher of Feng Qingyuan, the first emperor of the Qianyuan Empire, so the Cang family is the family with the longest history and the strongest heritage among the four major families. The successive families of the Cang family all held the position of heavenly masters in the Qianyuan Empire, and they could know astronomy at the top and geography at the bottom; they could calculate the destiny of heaven at the high level and read the hearts of the people at the bottom. In the history books, the Cang family is also a very legendary family.

The children of the Cang family are all familiar with Qimen gossip and fortune-telling. And in this generation, the most outstanding is Cang Hanchen, the second son of the head of the family. At the age of nineteen, Cang Hanchen is proficient in stargazing, physiognomy, divination, numerology, Qimen, Liuren and other academics, and in some fields even some old-timers can only reach the dust.

In addition to Cang Hanchen, there is another woman who is also a leader in the generation of the Cang family. Compared to Cang Hanchen's mastery, her talent was only shown in divination, and when she was fourteen years old, her divination ability had surpassed that of contemporary celestial masters. Now she's seventeen, and no one knows exactly what she's into. He is Cang Hanchen's cousin - Cang Meng.

At nine o'clock in the morning of March 2, Cangmeng looked at a few quaint copper plates on his desk in his boudoir, looking a little puzzled. After thinking for a while, she pinched her fingers and counted them again. Recalculated twice, the answer did not change. Cangmeng couldn't help but say to himself: "Strange, my solution ......"

Before he finished speaking, Cangmeng's door was pushed open, and Mu Fan walked in from outside the door with a big grin, his face was not affected by Mu Yun's words in the morning, and he still looked relaxed.

"Morning girl. Mu Fan smiled and walked in front of Cangmeng, "I deliberately waited outside the door for two minutes, are you still counting when I will come." ”

Cang Meng looked at Mu Fan in a daze, but his face did not change, and he was still cold. After Cang Meng reacted, he didn't care why Mu Fan broke into his boudoir, and personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mu Fan's hand.

"Brother Mu is early. Cangmeng's tone was as calm and unfluctuating as the water of an ancient well.

"I don't like to deal with your Cang family, everyone seems to have mastered everything in the world. When I came in, everyone who saw me felt as if they knew I was coming. And they all have a dead horse face, come, give my brother a smile. ”

Mu Fan stretched out his hands and rubbed Cang Meng's face as he spoke, but Cang Meng was still expressionless and didn't fight back. After a while, Mu Fan sat back in his chair boringly.

"They don't know the state of the world. Cangmeng said slowly, "But I can't know the freedom of all things in heaven and earth." They can count until you come back today, but they can't calculate why you came, because the more things involved in the incident, the deeper the secret will be hidden. ”

"What about you?" Mu Fan looked at Cang Meng with a smile, "Has the Cang family's seventeen-year-old genius girl been calculated?"

Cangmeng smiled slightly and did not speak. She poured herself a cup of tea and took a sip before saying, "Brother Mu is here today to come to Fengzong?"

Mu Fan was not surprised that Cangmeng was able to figure out the matter of Fengzong: "You have calculated it?"

This time, Cangmeng shook his head: "The deeper you go on the road of divination, the more you will be able to understand the unfathomable truth." But fortunately, the little sister is not stupid and came up with it. ”

"As you calculated before, the request for coming to Fengzong did exceed my expectations, but fortunately, I kept a hand. ”

Cang Meng still had a shallow smile on his lips: "The more complicated the matter, the more difficult it is to figure out the hexagram." What Mu Fan wants to do next, the little sister doesn't dare to take Yangshou to calculate. ”

"You don't dare to count, and that guy Hanchen definitely doesn't dare to count. Mu Fan smiled and said, "No wonder he will run to travel all over the world, it turns out that he is afraid." ”

"In terms of calculation, Brother Hanchen is not as good as Brother Mu Fan. Cang Meng got up and took out a brocade box from the cabinet, "Two years ago, Sister Xi Wu asked Brother Hanchen to calculate a murderous hexagram. A week ago, Brother Hanchen counted it for you and Sister Xiwu again, which is also a murderous hexagram of nine deaths and a lifetime. He also wanted to be the head of the house, so naturally he ran away as far as possible. But yesterday, the little sister calculated a hexagram for Brother Mu Fan alone. In the brocade box, there is the comment I wrote yesterday. ”

Mu Fan looked at Cangmeng with a puzzled expression, but he still decided to take the brocade box and open it to see that there was a white paper in the box, and five words were written on the white paper:

"No book can be written without coincidence. ”
