Originally, Mu Yi thought that he could rush back to Funiu Mountain, and even if he was poor, he could return to Dongting Lake for this year, but he didn't expect a heavy snowfall and the matter of the Hehuan Sect to delay the formation, and in the end he couldn't rush back, so he had to spend the year halfway.

Fortunately, Mu Yi's luck was good, he saw someone on the side of the road on the road, and gave it a ride, and the other party knew that Mu Yi could not rush home, so he invited him to his home for the New Year, Mu Yi hesitated, and finally agreed.

This is a newly married couple, the man does business with his father, the family is solid, and the woman is the daughter of his father's business partner, the two are considered a marriage to a certain extent, but the relationship between the two is very good, before the man accompanied the woman to the father-in-law's house entrenched, if it were not for this heavy snow, I am afraid that I would have returned home long ago.

Now, it was delayed until the last day, and there was really no way to rush in this weather, but I didn't expect that because the road was covered by heavy snow, and it didn't melt in a short time, the carriage accidentally fell into a pit and broke the wheel.

Fortunately, they met Mu Yi, otherwise the two could only walk home, and the bitterness was nothing, the key was that the woman was already pregnant, and it was likely that the child would not be saved, it was precisely because of this that the young couple was particularly grateful to Mu Yi, and directly invited Mu Yi to go to the house for the New Year, otherwise Pingshui would meet, even if they helped, they would not be so presumptuous.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with Mu Yi's red lips and white teeth, delicate appearance, and a little Taoist priest, although people can't be good-looking, but in fact, no one can get rid of this, men love beautiful women, women like pretty men.

On the way, Mu Yi also learned that the man's name was Du Xiaoshan and the woman's name was Chen Ailian.

The old mansion of Du Xiaoshan's family is quite magnificent, it is simply a miniature version of the garden, and there is a big Du Mansion plaque hanging at the door, but after entering the Du Mansion, Mu Yi also found that the atmosphere here seems to be a little tense, as if he is guarding against something.

Whether it is the big man at the door, or the guards on patrol, and the servants who hurry by, they all prove this.

Du Xiaoshan and his wife had just returned, and they didn't know what had happened, but they didn't delay him to settle Mu Yi and his party, and then went to see his father.

"Master, this Du family seems to be in trouble." Worm Jiayi whispered to Mu Yi, and even Wu Xiaosi was aware of it, only the big slave was dumbfounded, with a dull expression, and he didn't know anything.

"Well, don't worry about it for the time being, we'll leave when it's over the New Year here." Even Wu Xiaosi was aware of it, so naturally he couldn't hide it from Mu Yi, but he didn't want to meddle in things, in fact, from his arrival to the present, the Du family master has not shown up, which has already explained the problem.

Even if the other party didn't drive them out, it was already for the sake of Du Xiaoshan, and even the face of his unborn grandson, in this case, Mu Yi naturally would not take the initiative to ask for trouble and ask for trouble, too active at this time would only be suspected of ulterior motives.

After all, the timing of Mu Yi's appearance was too coincidental, and they could encounter problems with the carriage of the young master of the Du family, these things themselves are suspicious, if they hadn't arrived, plus the inn here was either closed or full, Mu Yi would have left directly.

Even so, at night, the Du family was not stingy, except that the owner did not show up, and there was also a lot of good wine and food, which was eaten by Mu Yi and his party.

Since she returned, Chen Ailian has not shown up, it is estimated that she is raising a fetus, after all, she suffered from some wind and cold before, and she has some fetal gas, but Du Xiaoshan came to toast Mu Yi a few glasses of wine in the evening, and his face was full of shame, and even looked at Mu Yi and stopped, but in the end, he still didn't say anything.

And Mu Yi didn't ask, the encounter in Pingshui, the rescue on the road, this kind of reception and the grace of a meal are enough.

"Brother, the slave is a year older."

Nian Nu'er leaned next to Mu Yi, her little face was slightly red, she also drank a few glasses of wine, as for the ghost thing to be able to drink, Mu Yi was also a little surprised, but thinking about what happened to this little girl, it was nothing.

"Yes, it's not just you, even my brother is a year older." Mu Yi smiled slightly, last year, it was Niannu'er who accompanied him, and this year, the same.

After the Chinese New Year, Mu Yi was one year old, and he officially turned sixteen, but unfortunately no one gave him New Year's money.

Next to him, Worm Jiayi also sighed a little, if he hadn't met Mu Yi, I'm afraid he would still be in the first difficulty, still staying in that small village, maybe he would be lonely for the rest of his life, let alone find an apprentice, inherit his mantle, and provide for him to retire to the end.

But since he met Mu Yi, all this has come true, so even if there is no ghost slave prohibition, it is impossible for him to betray Mu Yi in this life.

And Wu Xiaosi also felt a trace of warmth, originally he was just a beggar, until he joined the Vermilion Bird Hall, his life was changed, but the real change was after meeting Mu Yi, since then it can be said that it is a step to the sky, in the past, he was scolded by others, beaten and scolded at will, and now, even the hall master was polite when he saw him, calling him a little brother, and he also became a 'big man'.

He also knew who all this came from, and he also knew in his heart what he had to give, not to mention, he also worshipped the master, so he could step into the cultivation and hope for immortality in the future.

As for whether he can truly live forever, Wu Xiaosi doesn't care, he has secretly sworn since he was a beggar that this life must be vigorous and awe-inspiring, so in his eyes, cultivation is the foundation of all this, not some ethereal immortality.

Because Wu Xiaosi asked Worm Jiayi if he could live forever after practicing all his life? At that time, Worm A and B were silent and speechless, because it was rare for him to live forever.

After that, Wu Xiaosi asked Mu Yi again if he might have immortality, but Worm Jia Yi was still silent, but this time it was shorter, and there was more hesitation on his face, and finally he opened his mouth and sighed helplessly.

Immortality is difficult, it is as difficult as ascending to the sky, and it is a beautiful wish, at least he has never heard anyone say that anyone can live forever.

Although he has confidence in Mu Yi and believes that Mu Yi will definitely be able to achieve heaven and man in the future, but heaven and man are still far away from immortality, and even unforgettable, in this case, how dare he say that Mu Yi will definitely be able to live forever?

After asking these two questions, Wu Xiaosi knew better what his choice was, and Worm Jia Yi did not force Wu Xiaosi anymore, although Wu Xiaosi's qualifications were acceptable, but compared with Mu Yi, it was the difference between Yun Ni, and even Mu Yi could not live forever, let alone Wu Xiaosi?

Maybe immortality was just a wish of Worm Jiayi at the beginning of his practice, and then it gradually became an obsession in his heart, so after accepting Wu Xiaosi as an apprentice, he instinctively gave Wu Xiaosi his obsession along with his expectations, but he didn't think about whether he could succeed at all.

This night, Worm Jiayi and Wu Xiaosi were all thinking and drifting far away, only the big slave kept eating heavily, it seemed that in his eyes, filling his stomach was better than everything, this may be everyone's happiness.

In the eyes of others, the big slave is stupid, but in the heart of the big slave, there are not so many worries, not so much helplessness, but more happiness.

Bidding farewell to the old and welcoming the new, when the wine and food were over, the sound of firecrackers gradually sounded outside, even the Du family was no exception, and even more lively, but in this bustle, there was still a trace of nervousness, even fear.

In the middle of the night, there was a sudden riot in the courtyard in front of him, and then it gradually spread throughout the Du Mansion, even Mu Yi was no exception, and the sound outside proved that something happened to the Du family.

"Knock knock!"

Finally, after a knock on the door, as Worm Jia Yi opened the door, people continued to pour into the small courtyard where Mu Yi was, this small courtyard originally belonged to Du Xiaoshan, but tonight he took the initiative to lend it to Mu Yi, which was a kind of compensation.

"Dao Chief, I'm really sorry to disturb you late at night."

Du Xiaoshan looked at Mu Yi with a tired face, apologized again and again, and beside him, followed by a middle-aged man with a cold expression and a suspicious face, especially after seeing Mu Yi, the other party looked up and down.

"It's okay, but something happened?" Mu Yi asked unmindfully, in fact, he couldn't mind, after all, this was someone's home.

"Yes, a thief stole a family heirloom, this thing is very important to the Du family, and there is no room for loss, this time I came to ask Dao Chang what movement he heard? Du Xiaoshan asked tactfully.

Just without waiting for Mu Yi to answer, the middle-aged man next to him couldn't help it, and simply said, "Young Master, I'll do this matter." ”

"This Dao Chief, someone saw a black shadow coming this way before, I don't know if the Chief has seen it?"

Although he was asking, the middle-aged man's demeanor was clearly determined that the thief was hiding in the courtyard of Mu Yi, and even felt that Mu Yi was the thief, after all, the timing of his appearance was too coincidental and sensitive, so no one could not suspect it.

Du Xiaoshan opened his mouth, as if he wanted to explain something for Mu Yi, but someone swore that the thief was coming this way, although he was unwilling, let alone believing that Mu Yi would be a thief, but he couldn't resist his father, so he could only follow him in person, hoping that there would be no conflict.

At the same time, he also secretly regretted in his heart, he knew that he shouldn't have invited Mu Yi here, and there would not have been so many things, especially the thing that his family lost, which can no longer be described by money alone, and even related to the lives of the Du family to a certain extent.

So no matter how capricious Du Xiaoshan is, he has to stand up for the sake of the whole family.

"I haven't seen it." Mu Yi said directly, in fact, he really didn't see it, and even if anyone really approached, it was impossible to hide his perception, that is, the thief didn't come to him, Du Xiaoshan, or these people were deceived.

However, the other party probably knew that they were there, so he caused trouble and wanted to blame them, as long as the Du family was in chaos, the other party could take the opportunity to leave, and even, the other party had already left.

Mu Yi hadn't sensed the fluctuations of a cultivator's aura before, and he wasn't a first-class martial arts master, so the other party was just a second- or third-rate ordinary master at most, or even an ordinary person.

In this case, no matter how great Mu Yi's ability is, it is impossible to know who stole the treasure of the Du family, and since it is a treasure, it must be heavily protected, and being able to steal things out is not something that ordinary people can do.

Hearing Mu Yi's words, Du Xiaoshan seemed to breathe a sigh of relief, but the middle-aged man didn't give an inch.

"Can the Daoist allow us to enter and search?"

"Bold!"

The middle-aged man's words directly made the insect Jia Yi on the side furious, even if Mu Yi hadn't said anything yet, but he couldn't help it, this kind of behavior was simply slapping Mu Yi in the face, if Mu Yi was just an ordinary person, he didn't have the strength to resist at all, but Mu Yi was the Suzaku Banner Envoy, a consummation-level powerhouse.

Who in the world can hide from him?

At this moment, after Worm Jiayi was bold, a breath of evil suddenly poured out from his body, although Worm Jiayi was only the second difficulty, and only opened up a life wheel, but his power was definitely not something that ordinary people could resist, although the middle-aged man himself was also a third-rate master, but this kind of existence was nothing in the eyes of Worm Jiayi, and it was not even stronger than an ordinary person.

The middle-aged man was startled by Worm Jiayi, and even suddenly had a feeling of fright, which made him involuntarily take two steps back, staring at Worm Jiayi with a shocked face, as if he didn't expect Worm Jiayi to be a hidden master.

Even the middle-aged man couldn't stand it, let alone other ordinary family members, while the middle-aged man retreated, they also brushed backwards, and their eyes showed fear, as if they were facing some kind of flood beast.

In this, Du Xiaoshan was the least frightened, maybe he had known Worm Jiayi for a longer time, and Worm Jiayi was also driving the carriage along the way, plus Worm Jiayi did not deliberately target him, so his feelings were far less profound than those of the middle-aged man.

But he is not a fool after all, the expression of the middle-aged man, and the changes in those families can't hide it from him at all, and he can't help but feel a little more complicated on his face, of course, this complexity is not for insect Jia Yi, but for Mu Yi.

Because he knows that Worm Jia Yi is just Mu Yi's servant, and even a servant is so powerful, so who is Mu Yi? What is the identity? But there is no doubt that Mu Yi will definitely not be as simple as an ordinary Taoist priest.

"You trust me?" Mu Yi ignored the middle-aged man, just looked at Du Xiaoshan and said.

"Faith." Du Xiaoshan's eyes suddenly lit up, and he nodded without hesitation.

"Well, since you believe me, go back, the thief is not here, and he has never been, but you can interrogate the man who saw the thief coming towards me, and I think it should be rewarding." Mu Yi said directly.

"Thank you, Daoist, Du knows." After Du Xiaoshan finished speaking, he also ignored the middle-aged man, waved his right hand, and left with many family members.

And the middle-aged man saw that the general trend was gone, so he could only follow in embarrassment, and he didn't even dare to show any hatred towards Mu Yi, probably he also understood that showing hatred for a person who far exceeded himself was simply an act of looking for death.
