Mu Cheng continued to concentrate on reading the other inscriptions, and at the same time, Xiao He found the village head, Xiao Changfeng. However, before he could speak, the village chief scolded him with a split head and a face.

It turned out that an important burial ceremony took place the day before yesterday, and Xiao He did not participate. In the past few days, he has been immersed in the practice of the exercises, and he has forgotten such an important matter.

Xiao He blamed himself very much. He wanted to stay with Mu Cheng for one day, and the next day he would be busy with Master's affairs. As a result, it took four days to stay.

However, at this moment, he had something important to report to the village chief, so he hurriedly told the village chief about what Mu Cheng had found in the stele forest, as well as the inscriptions left by their ancestors.

After listening to Xiao He's report, Xiao Changfeng almost fell, and he hurriedly asked Xiao He to lead the way. However, after Xiao Changfeng walked a few steps, he asked Xiao He to gather a few Xiao family members who were famous in the village.

One after another, five or six people gathered on the cave, and they prepared to go to the stele forest together. Although they had listed the Forest of Steles as a place to practice the exercises before, and no one else had been there, they did not complain when the village chief was urgently summoned.

When several people entered the stele forest, Mu Cheng was still intently looking at the other inscriptions and didn't notice their arrival.

It wasn't until Xiao He shouted loudly that he turned his head and saw the village chief and the others. The village chief asked excitedly, "Where are the relics of the ancestor?" Mu Cheng led them around the two rows of stone tablets, pointed to one of them and said, "This is it." The village chief read the words on the inscription, but did not understand its meaning.

Mu Cheng read it to them word by word and explained it. When the village chief saw the inscription

When the word "Xiao Yu" was written, he recognized it as the name on his genealogy, which corresponded to the words on the inscription.

He suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed to the stone tablet: "Ancestor, I am your thirty-second generation grandson Xiao Changfeng, the descendants are not filial, and I didn't find the relics you left until today." I've kowtowed to you. Seeing this, the others also followed Xiao Changfeng's example and knelt down.

Mu Cheng was also deeply emotional. Xiao Changfeng got up and waved to Mu Cheng and thanked him. He said to himself: "We, the elders of the Xiao family, have always believed that these stone tablets are used to practice the exercises, and he is the only person in the village who can read the inscriptions. He is often here, why hasn't he found the remains of his ancestor? After Mu Cheng heard Xiao Changfeng's words, he asked curiously, "Patriarch, is Elder Xiao also a member of our Xiao family?" Xiao Changfeng nodded yes.

Mu Cheng continued to ask: "Patriarch Xiao, do you know what are the places where our village leads?" Xiao Changfeng looked at Mu Cheng and replied, "Isn't that where you came?" We call it the outer village. Mu Cheng continued to ask unhurriedly: "Patriarch Xiao, the outer village you understand is the place where I used to stay, and where Xiao He can also go, is there any other place besides?" Xiao Changfeng asked with some confusion: "Is there any other place?" Mu Cheng continued: "Yes, I went to another place with Xiao He before, where there was a lot of space pressure, and we got used to it for a long time. Moreover, it was also there that Elder Xiao was found. I've mentioned this to you before. Do you think that place is also a foreign village? Xiao Changfeng was even more confused: "Isn't the place you are talking about under Elder Xiao's bed?" Isn't that where we are? Mu Cheng continued to ask: "If that's the place in the village, why can't other people get there?" Also, only the elder in the village knows the words on the stone tablet, so who did he learn it from? Why not teach it to the rest of the village? Mu Cheng listened quietly, Xiao Changfeng was puzzled by Mu Cheng's question, although he couldn't say the reason specifically, he felt that something was wrong.

At this moment, an old man who came with Patriarch Xiao suddenly spoke, "Patriarch, do you remember Elder Xiao's father, Xiao Jiu?" This reminder evoked a certain memory of Xiao Changfeng, and he remembered something, frowning slightly.

He pondered for a moment and then said, "If what Elder Xiao is doing now is indeed abnormal, it may be because he wants to avenge his father. Elder Xiao's father, like Xiao He, also had the ability to shuttle. At that time, it was stipulated in our village that people with the ability to shuttle were not allowed to marry people from other villages, and Xiao Jiu not only had a family, but also had to marry another woman from another village. My father was the patriarch at the time and strongly opposed Xiao Jiu's association with women from other villages. However, Xiao Jiu was desperate and even injured the villagers who came to dissuade him. My father was very angry and took people to Xiao Jiu's residence, preparing to deal with it according to the clan rules. But when my father arrived at Xiao Jiu's house, he found that he had killed the woman from the outer village. The incident shocked the whole village, and he scolded my father for not knowing anything. My father saw that the matter was quite big, and decided to let Xiao Jiu calm down before dealing with it. Xiao Changfeng paused, and Mu Cheng listened quietly.

He continued, "I was six years old at the time, and Elder Xiao was a year older than me, and we used to play together a lot when we were kids. However, after that incident, Elder Xiao never looked for me again. Not long after, Xiao Jiu never returned after leaving the village, and his mother basically stopped going out. I don't know what my father thought at the time, but since his father left, he took special care of Elder Xiao, vigorously cultivated him, and arranged for Elder Xiao to be the position of Elder Xiao when I inherited the position of patriarch. In retrospect, his father must have taught him the words on the stele when he was there. When my father left, he specifically instructed me and Elder Xiao to unite and ask him for advice when needed. At that time, I was still a little unconvinced, but Elder Xiao's exercises were very powerful. Later, the people in the village wanted to learn the exercises from him, but Elder Xiao said that the villagers were not capable of learning them. Although many people didn't believe it, in the end, Elder Xiao taught some mental methods to the villagers, and as a result, the people who studied the exercises developed mental disorders within a few days. After that, some outsiders came to the village one after another, and Elder Xiao accepted them as apprentices. His apprentices are still being kept by the villagers. I was reluctant at the time, but Elder Xiao insisted on doing so. And he said to me, My father did not understand, and neither do I. This reminded me of his father, Xiao Jiu, who scolded my father at that time. Xiao He was the first villager to be accepted as an apprentice because of his ability to shuttle. Mu Cheng opened his mouth and said, "Patriarch Xiao has been listening to Elder Xiao all these years, so he must not feel very comfortable in his heart, right?" Patriarch Xiao's expression was embarrassed, and he just wanted to refute, but thinking that Elder Xiao had already left, he swallowed what he was about to say again.

He looked around, sighed deeply, and said, "That's right. After all, I am the head of the clan, and when I first took over, I asked Elder Xiao to do something, but he always pushed back, and he dared to do something with me at a critical time. The people around were surprised when they heard this, they didn't expect such a thing to happen.
