Chapter 3: Little Cloud Mouse
It was not only Chang Chen who was shocked, but also Mu Yiyang and the others. But compared to the painful look on Chang Chen and Chang Wei's faces, Mu Yiyang frowned tightly and fell into a deep thought.
"It's strange, the door is obviously locked, unless there is a key, or if you have superb lock-picking skills like Chang Chen, otherwise ordinary people can't open the Bailian lock intact, but Second Uncle Chang is famous for not drinking alcohol, although the third prince loves wine, but he is reluctant to drink more wine on weekdays, who did it?" Compared with Chang Chen, Mu Yiyang seemed much calmer, and muttered softly.
"Will it ...... This thing wasn't done by someone in the first place!" After being silent for a while, Mu Yiyang continued, and then his gaze fell on the numerous empty wine jars.
"Don't keep a cup, does this seem like a human thing? If you want me to see, it's not a beast that can do such an inhumane thing!" Chang Chen was obviously still angry, and said angrily.
Regarding Chang Chen's overreaction, Mu Yiyang obviously didn't see it for the first time, so he didn't take it to heart, but continued to pay attention to the many empty wine jars.
After a while, I don't know what I found, Mu Yiyang's breathing suddenly suffocated, and his pupils contracted even more violently.
I saw that in a dark corner of the barn, among the many empty wine jars, a strange creature that looked like a squirrel but was only the size of an adult's palm was lying on the ground with a big belly, leaning against the empty wine jar. A pair of smart big eyes were a little confused, just facing Shang Mu Yiyang's searching gaze, and the dazed appearance was indescribably cute, but it was not a first-order low-level Warcraft cloud rat that was greedy by nature and had no offensive power.
Seeing this, Mu Yiyang subconsciously turned his head, and was about to tell his discovery to his partner beside him. However, before he could speak, Chang Chen's angry voice sounded again: "Damn! Don't let me know who did this, otherwise I will have to dismantle him!"
Hearing this, for some reason, Mu Yiyang's words suddenly came to his lips and he was a little speechless, so he looked at the little cloud mouse in front of him who had obviously just been born, and he didn't know what to do for a while.
"Xiao Mu, what do you want? Noticing the change in Mu Yiyang's expression, Chang Wei suddenly asked.
"Oh...... It's nothing, I just think it's a little weird. Facing Chang Wei's question, Mu Yiyang had a sense of embarrassment that he had done something bad and was bumped into by someone, and said with a slight blushing face.
"It's a bit strange about this, but I don't think it's too early, and since we can't drink, let's go back quickly! After running away in the early morning, Chang Wei couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Alas, it's really that people are not as good as heaven, and that's the only way to do it. The plan was in vain, Chang Chen said in a gloomy tone, and said, the first to walk out of the barn.
But at this moment, an old figure suddenly came into his eyes, his footsteps suddenly paused, hurriedly turned around, and whispered to the two people in the room: "It's not good, the third prince is here, I'll lure him away, you two find the opportunity to run again!"
After that, Chang Chen took out a piece of gauze that had been prepared long ago to cover his face, and after turning around and making a grimace at Sangong, who was hurrying from behind, he ran quickly outside the village, while Mu Yiyang and Chang Wei took the opportunity to hide behind the door panel.
"It's you stinky boy again, you haven't settled accounts with you after stealing my jade qiongjiu last time, and now you dare to covet my Baiguo wine again, this time I'll see where you're going!" Soon after Chang Chen left, a bad-bearded old man rushed out of the stone house out of breath, and after cursing at him, he chased after him, it was the third prince in the mouth of the three.
"Let's go too!" Sangong had just walked a short distance when Chang Wei covered his face with gauze and ran out in the opposite direction.
"See you in the old place!" At the same time, Mu Yiyang also covered his face, and casually knocked over an empty wine jar, attracting the attention of the third prince before running to another road.
The third prince was already old, and Mu Yiyang and the three of them ran separately, and they were so confused by the three of them that they lost their goal all of a sudden, so they had to watch a few people go away fiercely, but they were helpless.
Besides, Mu Yiyang, after separating from Chang Wei, turned a few more streets, and after confirming that Sangong was not chasing, Fang took off the veil on his face with a smile and ran towards the meeting place agreed by the three of them.
However, before he could run far, a group of three people suddenly walked out from the street in front of him, blocking his way.
Among the three, the leader was dressed in a green shirt, with a withered face and kind eyebrows, although he was old, he did not see the slightest decline, but it was Mu Tianfu.
Standing beside him was a middle-aged man in his forties, with a majesty unique to a superior between his eyebrows, who was Chang Huaiyuan, the current patriarch of Yunxi Village.
Behind the two, a stout man in a robe was carrying Mu Tianfu's medicine box, looking very honest and honest, it was Chang Erniu, a big man who knocked on the courtyard door when Mu Yiyang was asleep.
Suddenly met Mu Tianfu, Mu Yiyang was also surprised, and when he was having a headache about how to speak, Chang Huaiyuan's voice suddenly sounded: "Huh, isn't this Xiao Mu! Where are you going to go in such a hurry?"
"Uh...... This one...... I heard that a vajra ape came at night, and many of the guards were injured, and I was afraid that Fu Bo would not be able to do it alone, so I thought I would rush over to take a look. Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, Mu Yiyang had no choice but to step forward and find an excuse.
"I see, no wonder you ran so fast, speaking of which, although my family Changwei is two years older than you, he is far less mature and sensible than you, and he can share the worries of the people in the village at a young age. Although Mu Yiyang is not a pharmacist, he has studied medicine since he was a child, and often treats people in the village on behalf of Mu Tianfu, so Chang Huaiyuan sighed with a little emotion.
"Although Chang Wei is only sixteen years old, he has already cultivated to the realm of the fourth layer of the mortal vein realm, such a talent, even if it is placed in the three sects and seven sects of Dongzhou, he is a top-notch talent, I don't know how much better than my family, I don't know how much better, I will have a bright future in the future, patriarch, you are really too humble. Shaking his head, Mu Tianfu said with a smile.
"Mr. Mu has an overreputation, although he lives in the mountains, but when he was young, he also went outside for a few years, not to mention the three sects that are beyond the world, even compared with the elite talents of the seven gates, the qualifications of my family Changwei are not on the table, and I still have this self-knowledge. As he spoke, a faint bleak color suddenly flashed in Chang Huaiyuan's eyes.
In the eyes of the people in the village, Chang Wei is extremely talented, and he naturally has a bright future, but only he knows that it is not enough to have talent in cultivation, resources and luck are also very important, and even faintly lie in talent.
Although Chang Wei's talent is high, after all, he was born in the mountains, and there is no famous teacher to guide him, and secondly, there is no corresponding martial arts to assist in cultivation, not to mention those elixirs that are of great benefit to cultivation.
As a father, Chang Huai hoped that Chang Wei could go further on the path of cultivation than anyone else, and he also knew that with Chang Wei's talent, as long as he joined any sect force and had the assistance of better resources, his entry would definitely not be what it is now. But he knew that all this could only be a fantasy in his heart after all, and being born in the mountains meant that Chang Wei could not live only for himself in this life, and it was his greatest mission to protect the clan.
Inadvertently touched his heart, Chang Huaiyuan didn't show anything on his face, but he felt a lot of sadness in his heart, if he had a choice, he would rather Chang Wei's qualifications be mediocre, so that at least the guilt in his heart would be reduced a little, and it would not be as painful as it is now.
After being silent for a while, Chang Huaiyuan slowly regained his mind, and then said to Mu Tianfu: "Mr. Mu, there are many things in the village, Chang will not come to bother, and if you are not thoughtful, please ask Haihan." ”
As he spoke, Chang Huaiyuan paused, and then said to Chang Erniu beside him: "Erniu, you send Mr. back first, and then come back to the village to find me." ”
"The affairs of the village are important, we can go back by ourselves, and we don't have to bother Xiaochang. Yiyang, come over and grab the medicine box. After glancing at Mu Yiyang, Mu Tianfu waved his hand and said.
Chang Huaiyuan already had important things to do, and he was in a bad mood at the moment, so he didn't care more about etiquette, and after signaling Chang Erniu to take the medicine box to Mu Yiyang, he said goodbye and left, disappearing at the end of the alley.
"Fu Bo, what do the three sects and seven sects refer to, how do you mention them, the patriarch looks like a different person. Although Chang Huaiyuan controlled his emotions well, Mu Yiyang was very sensitive to the fact that his words and deeds were slightly different from usual.
"The so-called three sects refer to the Haoran Sect, the Divine Sword Sect and the Ancient Dao Sect. Among them, Haoran Sect is famous for its exquisite refining weapons and alchemy, and it is the most powerful of the three sects, and it is also recognized as the largest sect in the Dongzhou Continent. As for the Divine Sword Sect and the Ancient Dao Sect, they are respectively good at the Imperial Sword Method and the Body Refining Method, and there is not much difference in strength between the two, and they are the two most powerful forces on the Dongzhou Continent after the Haoran Sect. While walking, Mu Tianfu said.
"What about the Seven Sects, what do you mean, are they seven very powerful sects?" After a while, Mu Yiyang continued to ask.
"They are indeed powerful, but they are not sects, but Han, Zhao, Wei, Xiao, Ye, Sima, and Nangong, the seven ancient families that have a pivotal position on the Dongzhou Continent. ”
Saying that, Mu Tianfu suddenly turned his head and said to Mu Yiyang: "The Seven Great Families have a far-reaching inheritance on the Dongzhou Continent, they are intertwined, and they are well-known for protecting their shortcomings, even a behemoth like Haoran Sect has to give them three points, if you have a grudge with their disciples in the future, remember to cut the grass and eradicate the roots, otherwise you will be greeted by an endless pursuit, you must remember this!"
"Hmm! I made a note of it. Seeing Mu Tianfu rarely become serious, Mu Yiyang nodded solemnly, and then continued: "It's just that I still don't understand, why does the patriarch look a little different from usual after you mentioned the three sects and seven sects, is there something on his mind?"
Hearing this, Mu Tianfu's body seemed to stiffen, but he didn't stop, but after a moment of silence, he spoke: "Probably he thinks that staying in this mountain village will bury Chang Wei's talent!"
"In that case, then why didn't he take Chang Wei to participate in the entrance examination of those sects as soon as possible? With Chang Wei's qualifications, he would definitely be able to be easily admitted. Mu Yiyang asked subconsciously.
"Yes, you understand this kind of truth, do you think the patriarch will not understand?" Mu Tianfu said with emotion.
"Also, the patriarch is so shrewd, he should know everything I can think of, so what did he leave Chang Wei in the mountains for?" Mu Yiyang muttered to himself while carrying the medicine box.
Then, his footsteps suddenly stopped, his heart trembled, and he said in a low voice: "Is it difficult...... Is it because of the people in the village?"
