Chapter 3: The Mysterious Old Man

"Alas......, Mu Yun is really pitiful, what did he do wrong? God wants to punish him like this, he is only twelve years old, how can he survive the rest of his life" Mu Xue looked at Mu Yun who was lying unconscious on the bed, and sighed while stroking his pale little face with her hand.

"Eldest sister, don't be sad, the third brother has his own natural appearance, and grandpa will definitely find a way, I believe that the third brother's illness will be cured" Baili Mutian comforted.

Baili Mutian is the first heir of the three generations of the Baili family, and the eldest son and grandson of the Baili family, sixteen years old this year, as old as Mu Xue, but was born a few days later than Mu Xue, Mu Tian and Mu Xue are both children of Baili Army.

"Yes, the eldest brother is right, I also believe that the third brother will definitely get better, eldest sister, don't be sad" Baili Muhai also comforted.

Baili Muhai ranks third among the three generations, only one year younger than Mu Xue and Mu Tian, and is the son of Mu Yun's second uncle Baili Yu, Baili Yu has two sons and a daughter, respectively, the third-ranked Baili Muhai, the sixth-ranked Baili Mulei and the seventh-ranked Baili Mushuang.

"Yes, yes, Brother Muyun will definitely get better," Baili Muyue, who was ranked eighth and the youngest of the three generations, also interjected at this time.

The little girl's big eyes blink and blink, and she is very cute. Mu Yue and the fourth brother Mu Feng are both the children of Mu Yun's third uncle, Baili Jun. Therefore, there are five men and three women in the three generations of the Baili family, the oldest is sixteen years old, and the youngest is nine years old.

"Let's go, don't disturb the third brother's rest, you guys should also go to practice, there are only three months left before the Baili family's thirty-year clan meeting, everyone should raise their spirits, especially you Mu Tian, this is related to your position as the head of the family, don't relax, and you, I will urge you" Mu Xue said and stood up and walked outside the house.

As soon as everyone heard the word "clan meeting", their relaxed nerves suddenly tensed.

You must know that the best way to prove yourself in a big family like the Baili family is to get a good ranking in the clan meeting, and at the clan meeting, regardless of the lineage, as long as you have the ability to overwhelm the crowd, then you are eligible to be elected to the elders, participate in the family meeting, and even directly related to the selection of the head of the family, and become the real backbone core of the family.

Therefore, everyone did not dare to slack off on this clan, and hurriedly followed Mu Xue to the practice ground, striving to make a last fight for their future in the last three months.

All of a sudden, the room became quiet again......

"Clan meeting, practice, heh, these things have nothing to do with me at all, never" Mu Yun laughed at himself.

In fact, Mu Yun had already woken up, and just wanted to be quiet by himself. His greatest hope has been shattered, and this time, Mu Yun is completely dead.

For the next three days, Mu Yun never stepped out of the house. During this period, his grandfather, uncle, brothers and sisters all came to see him. But Mu Yun felt that he had no shame to face them, especially his grandfather, and the disappointment again and again was also a blow to an old man who was close to old age. So every time Mu Yun avoided it for various reasons.

On the morning of the fourth day, Mu Yun got up early, changed into a new dress, washed up carefully, and then walked out of the house and headed in the direction of the back mountain.

Houshan "Father, mother, the child has come to visit you again, do you know?" Just three days ago, the child's illness was almost cured, just a little bit, at that moment, I was really disappointed, I felt that I had lost all hope at once, lost the courage to live, over the years, the child has really had a hard time, the child is fed up with the white eyes of others, fed up with his own incompetence"

Mu Yun knelt in front of his parents' graves, gently stroked the cold tombstone, and continued, "The child has decided, the child really misses you, I really want to see your face again, I want to fall into your arms and cry bitterly, I want you to comfort me and inspire me to move forward when I am desperate." Haha, but that's almost there."

As he spoke, Mu Yun took out a cold dagger from his arms, "Father, mother, the child is here, are you happy?" I saw Mu Yun holding the dagger in his right hand, raising it high, slowly closing his eyes, and stabbing at his abdomen.

"Coward" Suddenly, an old and hoarse voice came from behind Mu Yun.

"Who?" Mu Yun quickly turned around, knowing that there was no one behind him at all.

"A coward would choose to end his life in this way," the mysterious voice sounded behind Mu Yun again.

"I'm not a coward" Mu Yun turned around again, but still didn't see a single figure.

"If you don't come out sneakily, you're a coward," Mu Yun countered.

"Hmph, sharp teeth, huh? Your body ......, let me take a closer look" As soon as the words fell, an illusory shadow appeared in front of Mu Yun.

"Wow......" Mu Yun sat on the ground, and the sudden appearance of this shadow really scared Mu Yun.

"Your body...... Unexpectedly...... No gas, it's so strange, it's too strange" The illusory shadow stared at Mu Yun carefully for a while, and then said Mu Yun's strange illness in one mouth.

"You...... How do you know? Who are you" Mu Yun was directly shocked by the shadow's words.

Because he actually "saw" Mu Yun's illness, yes, he "saw" it, the shadow never touched Mu Yun from beginning to end, just stared at Mu Yun for a while.

At this time, Mu Yun carefully looked at this illusory shadow, this phantom was an old man's appearance, dressed in a cyan robe, his hair and beard were white, his face was angular, one hand was behind his back, the other hand was gently stroking his white beard, his eyes were staring at Mu Yun who was sitting on the ground, the light that burst out in his eyes made Mu Yun dare not look directly, Mu Yun even felt that the old man in front of him was more terrifying than his grandfather, but immediately Mu Yun dispelled this idea, what are you kidding, his grandfather is a master in the later stage of foundation building, In this Qinghai City, he is a top person, and he can also be ranked first in the entire Qinglong Country, how can the old man in front of him compare with his grandfather.

"Want to know your illness? Answer me a few questions first. First, where is this? Second, who are you? Third, why should you kill yourself? The old man said.

Although he was very unhappy with the arrogant appearance of this old man, after all, it was related to his own illness, so Mu Yun had no choice but to answer.

"This is the mountain behind the Baili family in Qinghai City, the second largest city in the Qinglong Kingdom of the Renyuan Continent, my name is Baili Muyun, as for why I committed suicide, it has nothing to do with you. Now it's your turn to answer my question," Mu Yun said as he stood up and slapped the dust off his body.

"Yo, it has nothing to do with me? If I can cure you of your illness, then ...... Doesn't it have anything to do with me? The old man looked unfathomable.

"What? Can you cure me? At first hearing the old man's words, Mu Yun suddenly became excited, but then he was disappointed.

"Impossible, I can't even help Xue Zhong about my illness, he is the miracle doctor of the Qinglong Kingdom, he hasn't been cured, no one in this world can cure my illness at all, you don't have to lie to me here, my life or death has nothing to do with you" After speaking, Mu Yun turned around and was about to leave.

"Slow" The old man suddenly appeared in front of Mu Yun, blocking Mu Yun's way.

"If my guess is correct, your illness is congenital, and you can't absorb and refine the Qi of the Five Elements of Heaven and Earth, even if someone else transmits the Qi of the Five Elements into your body, you can't introduce it into the dantian, am I right?"

"Are you ......" Mu Yun's eyes widened in surprise, looking at the old man in front of him, a wave of hope rose inexplicably in his heart.

"I don't care if you believe it or not, I have a way to cure your disease, but it's dangerous, very dangerous, because I'm not sure if I can really succeed, I can just try, you ...... Willing to give it a try? The old man's eyes were fixed on Mu Yun.

"Sir, what you said is true? Do you really have a way? Mu Yun said in surprise, and Mu Yun felt that the fire in his heart was burning again.

"Yes, but as I said, it's very dangerous, maybe even ......"

"I'm willing to try," Mu Yun blurted out without waiting for the old man to finish.

"I'm not afraid, rather than living like this, it's better to fight to the death, even if it doesn't work, that's my fate, I'm not afraid of death, I will never give up the last hope."

"Hmm......" The old man nodded in appreciation while stroking his beard, "Good boy, haha, okay, since you put life and death aside, I will also do my best to help you, I can meet you kid at the end of my life, it can be regarded as the fate of you and me, give you this" The old man said and took out three pills and threw them to Mu Yun, who caught them.

"You take these three pills every day before you go to bed, and if you still have life in three days, come here again, and I will start treating you again."

"What is this?" Mu Yun looked at the three black pills in his hand and didn't feel anything special.

"You don't care what it is, just do what I say, we'll see you in three days" After speaking, the old man disappeared in front of Mu Yun at once.

"Three days ......" Mu Yun clutched the pill in his hand tightly, raised his head and looked into the distance, with a resolute look in his eyes.

"My life is up to me, come on" and turned around and walked down the mountain, the figure gradually blurred.
