There is only one courtyard intact in the old house of the Mu family, and Mu Qing was forced to hide in the back mountain because of the sharp reduction in cultivation, but he didn't expect to come back again, but he was no longer the same.

Lying on an old bed, white drapery hung on both sides, and on top of it were old beams and newly replaced tiles.

After many repairs, many parts of the house have reached the point where they have to be dismantled and rebuilt.

The roses remained in the middle of summer, but the begonias hid in the night.

Sleepless all night, tormented by his inner emotions, Mu Qing suddenly felt sad, this was not his idea, but from his body.

He had deep suspicions that the body was still conscious of its original owner, and that it would be awakened whenever it touched something.

Although he had seen the original owner back then and was recognized by the original owner, such things continued to happen, which made him feel uneasy.

The next morning, the child came early in the morning, alone, with hot buns and rice porridge.

He leaned over to the door to hear what was going on inside.

He felt that the uncle was like a poor homeless man, maybe he didn't have any money, as a member of the Mu family, he should help the world, such as helping the uncle bring the leftovers... Well, fresh breakfast.

With a squeak, the little head was frightened as soon as he came over, and the whole person jumped back seven or eight meters away, and his body was athletic, stronger than his peers.

Mu Qing shook off his shirt and cloth, dressed casually, caught a glimpse of the things in the child's hand, and said with a smile: "What? This is to honor me? ”

"Who's going to honor you? I see you pitiful. The child put the food on the table, picked up a bun and stuffed it into his mouth, muttering, "Where are you from?" ”

"I'm here." Mu Qing was also not polite, after sitting down, he took a big sip of porridge, and asked him with a smile: "Little guy, I see that you are learning the stacked waves in the Mu family's exercises?" ”

The child was not very old, but he was extremely clever, and his eyes when he looked at Mu Qing changed significantly, with a little vigilance.

Stacking waves, the Mu family exercises are a means for core disciples to practice, and they are also body methods.

Although its grade is not high, it has a miraculous effect, and when it is used, it is faster than one step, stronger than heavy, with full lethality.

Mu Qing didn't think so, and after eating, he wiped his mouth: "I won't harm you, I'll live here during this time, if you don't understand something, just come to me, you invite me to dinner, and I'll help you practice." ”

He told the children that the waves are not about speed and strength, but about the fury and indomitable faith, like the waves of the sea, even if there are thousands of icebergs in front of them, they will never retreat.

"But it's a body!" The child had invisibly let down his vigilance and immediately retorted.

"Who said that the body technique can't be used as a killing move?" Mu Qing tapped his head and said meaningfully: "There is something in common between the body method and the exercises. ”

The child's mouth chewing slowed down significantly, and he raised his head from time to time, then lowered his head, and repeated it several times, deciding to step aside and perform.

Mu Qing sat on the stone bench and looked at him with interest, smiling.

The child's strength is not outstanding, it is only the power of the five heavens.

He mobilized his thin heavenly power in the cyclone, and then, a trace of determination burst out of his bright eyes, and then, he stepped out, swept three meters away, and with a bang under his feet, the ground cracked, and a slight explosion occurred.

He took a step, then stopped, judged carefully, and found that nothing had changed.

Standing at the end of the courtyard and looking at Mu Qing, he shouted at him, "It's useless for you to lie to me." ”

"When casting the stacked waves, the meridian routes of the heavenly power are all wrong, how can it be useful?"

Mu Qing beckoned him to him, and immediately pressed one hand on his vest.

The child looked puzzled: "Is it really wrong?" But this is what my mother taught me, she said, this is the most authentic. ”

"What's not authentic? It's all a lie. Mu Qing smiled and looked at his side face: "I won't hurt you, and your mother won't either, follow me for a while, if you don't think it's okay, you don't practice, how about it?" ”

When the child heard that this would be fine, he nodded and agreed.

Then, a gentle force radiated quickly from his vest, and the child's perception was not weak, and he felt a few meridians burning a little.

At this moment, Mu Qing whispered in his ear: "Follow my strength through these meridians, starting from the lower abdomen, opening up the thighs to the calves......"

The child didn't dare to be careless, and immediately used the thin heavenly power, however, the process was a little difficult.

He felt that his meridians were extremely swollen, as if they were about to explode, but soon, a stronger force poured in, and the swelling would disappear immediately.

This feeling repeatedly, and the child realized that this uncle was helping him through the hardest part, which was definitely a good thing.

He no longer hesitated and vigilated, and went all out, with Mu Qing by his side, he was also very bold, and he was sure that Mu Qing was not in danger to him, and his sense of trust was bursting.

Ten minutes later, the child was sweating profusely, his face was red, his whole body was steaming hot, and his chest was heaving to a great extent.

He stared at Mu Qing, his little face showed a satisfied smile, and he just wanted to say thank you, but his body twisted, his consciousness suddenly dissipated, and he fell straight down.

Mu Qing quickly hugged him with his hand, took him back to the room to warm his body, and washed the meridians with high-grade pills, and only gave up after some tossing.

"It's not as good as his mother's physique." He muttered.

After guarding outside all day, Mu Qing also walked around, most of them collapsed, leaving only the ruins and broken walls, and even the most lush peach blossom tree was removed, leaving a large pit with a radius of thirty meters.

When night fell and he returned to the yard, the child had already woken up.

He looked at Mu Qing eagerly, stepped forward quickly, and looked up at him: "Thank you, uncle." ”

"It's late, let's go back." Mu Qing smiled, and then took out two large cakes to satisfy his hunger.

The child didn't dislike it, he was really hungry after a day's sleep, and he couldn't stay until the end, he told Mu Qing that tomorrow was the little comparison in the clan, and he hoped that he would pass.

"Can you get in?" Mu Qing was a little surprised, and then smiled: "I'm just an outsider." ”

"Just say it's my mother's friend, my father and mother invite a lot of people at this time." Speaking of this, the child seemed to think of something, took out a piece of jade from his waist and handed it to him, adding: "This is my brand, the guard will definitely recognize it, and when you come, I will invite you to a big meal." My mother started to send someone to prepare it yesterday, a lot of beef hot pot, but it is fragrant, it is the recipe left by Uncle Mu Qing. ”

What's there to eat in hot pot..... Mu Qing scratched his face, took the token, and said that he would definitely go tomorrow and give him a big gift by the way.

The child hesitated a little, then nodded again, hooked with Mu Qing, and said, "If you don't come, it's a puppy, and when I see you in the future, I'll call you Uncle Dog." ”

"Uncle Dog....." Mu Qing pulled the hook, extremely embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "It's better to call me uncle." ”

.......

The Mu family's annual small competition is always much more lively than that of other families, and the masters and righteous sects of seven or eight small towns around will rush over.

Not to mention how much the Mu family has grown over the years, just having a ascendant like Emperor Wu as a guarantee is enough for the Mu family to brag about for a lifetime.

What's more, a few years ago, Mu Qing, who was far away in Daozhou, was recognized, and the resources sent by Taoism were undoubtedly the icing on the cake.

Relying on this 'windfall' and the wisdom of the younger generation, it is not surprising that the Mu family has grown to the point where it is today.

Within a radius of 500 miles, the Mu family is equivalent to the emperor of the soil, and the Mu family has a good atmosphere, and they all rush to the front line in the event of natural and man-made disasters.

Over the years, he has built up a good reputation among monks and ordinary people, and everyone wants to make friends with them.

The front of the Mu family was already very lively, and before dawn, there were already people waiting in front of the door, and the high-level officials of the Mu family, who had already prepared, valued this and greeted it in person.

The guards and maids of the house were very busy, a symphony was playing in the back kitchen, and the whole family was preparing in earnest.

"Today is the Mu family's small competition, I don't know which kid or girl can break out of the encirclement." Groups of monks laughed and talked to each other.

One of the old men stroked his beard and said seriously: "The old man thinks that he is still the child of the head of the Mu family, young and promising, although he is young, he has a glimpse of the glory of the future. ”

"Huh! You always fancy him to take him as an apprentice, not objective, in my opinion, it is better to be the child of the elders of the four veins. Others laughed and retorted.

The subordinates continued to take turns, taking the guests to the square where they rested first, and then welcoming them to the martial arts training ground when the time was almost up.

There is only one platform here, and it is surrounded by circular steps, which can accommodate hundreds of people in each circle.

Now, just after the end of the day, it is already crowded, and the gentle sun is shining down, which makes people feel extraordinarily comfortable.

Many people have known each other for a long time, and when they gather at a table at this time, they talk and laugh, or mention that a certain master wants to accept a certain child of the Mu family as an apprentice, which then sparks heated discussions.

There were more and more people, and the children were getting more and more nervous.

This is different from the cultivation of the past, it is the time to really accept the test, in front of thousands of people, if it fails, it is fine, if it goes abroad, it will inevitably affect the state of mind.

At this time, Mu Bai, the new head of the family in a white robe, had a solemn face, standing in the hall of the main house and looking around at the hundreds of children in front of him.

He said in a solemn voice: "Today is just a small comparison, you don't need to be too nervous, you just need to stabilize your mood and perform well." Now it is not as it was then, even if it fails, it will not be expelled from the Lord's house. At that time, I tried my best to recall all the collateral departments, and the purpose was to hope that everyone would be of the same mind, so I didn't want to see anyone on the field resentful of their failures......"

A long and powerful speech can easily stir up a fighting spirit in the hearts of children, and at the same time weaken their nervousness.

At the back of the hall, the new generation of elders looked at each other, and one of the fat-headed and big-eared elders smiled: "The patriarch's words are becoming more and more powerful, and even the silly boy of my family has become interested. ”

"If your stupid boy can survive the second round, I'll give you three hundred gold." The thin elder grinned, elbowing his fat belly.

When the others heard this, they chuckled lowly.

Then someone lowered his voice and said, "Let's go, we have to go to the square to preside over the overall situation, and there are quite a few guests here this time." ”

A pretty figure was the first to walk out, she gathered her ear hair, looked at the blue sky, and let out a long breath.

At this time, the other man looked puzzled, pinched his chin, and frowned.

He couldn't figure out what his children were doing when they went out with a bunch of food in the morning?

He was thinking, is it because my craftsmanship is not good? Did the kid take it out and feed the dog? This simply broke Dad's heart.

The woman next to him patted his solid back and said with relief: "Don't worry, Xianggong, even if it is eaten by a dog, it must be very happy." ”

The man looked embarrassed, is this a compliment?

Ahh

The ancestral house of the Mu family sneezed early in the morning, making Mu Qing touch his arms and feel uncomfortable.

"Is anyone scolding me?"

Before he could finish muttering, hurried footsteps sounded outside the door, and the child was holding a bunch of food.

He was not polite this time, because it was too late, he pushed the door in, and just saw that Mu Qing was still dressing, put all the food on the table, and said, "Uncle, this is breakfast." ”

"Have you eaten?" Mu Qing was not in a hurry or slow, and beckoned him to sit down together.

The child said that it was too late, he had bad luck and bad character, and he was the first one today.

"Oh, that's really not about luck, it's a matter of character." Eating hot buns, he joked along with the child's self-deprecation.

The child didn't bother to care, patted his chest and said that he was absolutely fine, and the opponent was a person from the ninth vein, which was not very powerful.

For the ninth vein in the child's mouth, Mu Qing didn't show any emotion, he already knew it.

In the early years, Mu Bai completely recalled all the side veins, and then rearranged the ten veins for management, and this ninth vein was one of the main veins in the past.

"You can't take your opponent lightly just because they're from the Ninth Vein." Mu Qing knocked and said solemnly: "As long as they have enough confidence, it is not a problem to be among the top five, go all out." ”

The child nodded solemnly and said, "The lion fights the rabbit, and he also uses all his strength." Uncle Xiao Song often said this, and he still muttered in his mouth, regretting that he didn't beat Uncle Mu Qing fat back then, and now he doesn't have a chance. ”

When Mu Qing heard this, the corners of his mouth rose slightly.

The child found that it was too late, but before leaving, Mu Qing still forcibly stuffed two buns into it.

He was not slow, he rushed out over the courtyard wall of the ancestral house, and with his agility and familiarity with the path, he was sure to rush back in time.

And after Mu Qing slowly cleaned up the scraps on the table, he took a step and left.

Because the Mu family held a small competition, the street was also very lively, and many monks passing by came to visit, and after learning that admission was free, they were even more energetic.

Mu Qing followed the flow, and after selecting two demon cores from the weapon spectrum, he went straight to the Mu family.

Before leaving, the shopkeeper looked left and right, as if to determine something.

After a while, he walked out of the store, wanting to take a closer look, but Mu Qing was long gone.

The shopkeeper took a breath of cool air in his mouth and muttered, "This person ..... Why is he so similar to Mu Qinggongzi? ”

In the crowd, Mu Qing moved quickly, his clothes were not touched, his steps were treacherous and light, and he quickly passed through the crowd and arrived at the door of Mu's house.

He didn't take out the child's jade, but gave the two high-level demon cores he had just bought and handed them over, saying, "I hope to see the grand occasion of the Mu family when I travel here in the clouds." ”

Mu Qing touched the human skin mask on his face, he hadn't worn it for many years, and he was still a little unsteady in his heart.
