Chapter 8 A Different Mu Yinan
Mu Yinan looked at the "distorted" expressions of the two, and said a little helplessly: "This is not so unacceptable, right?"
"It's not that it's hard to accept, but it's ......" Shui Yucong shook his head, looking like he wanted to say something. is also a cultivator, Shuiyu saw from the beginning that Mu Yinan's cultivation was just a new foundation, and he cultivated at the age of sixteen, which is really not good.
"And what?" Seeing that the fish in the water had not said anything, Mu Yinan asked.
"Alasβββ" Shui Yucong sighed and said to Mu Yinan with a serious face: "Brother Mu, with all due respect, with your cultivation in the early stage of the foundation building realm at the age of sixteen, if you go to participate in Tianfu's recruitment, you will indeed be admitted, but what you finally join may be a branch of Tianfu's βββ Wei Tianzong." β
"Wei Tianzong?" Mu Yinan was a little puzzled, what Shui Yu said at this time was obviously different from what he knew, the name of Tianfu was known to the world, and where did this Wei Tianzong come from?
"Actually, this is a secret," Shui Yu hesitated for a while, and finally opened his mouth: "Tianfu, the highest level of the empire's cultivation official school, has actually given the world many illusions. Let's find a place to sit down and talk, if Brother Mu insists on going after listening to my words, it won't be too late for us to hurry. β
"That's it, I have a lot to ask you. Zhu Jun, who had not spoken for a long time, said to Mu Yinan at this time. She didn't really care what happened to Tianfu, but she keenly felt that Mu Yinan might have encountered some unprecedented trouble.
Looking at Zhu Jun's eyes, Mu Yinan understood that he had to make his words clear today, so he nodded with a wry smile.
The three of them found a relatively flat open space, tied their horses and donkeys to a tree, and sat down on the ground. It's just that for the first few minutes, the three of them didn't know how to start this conversation, because all three of them had different thoughts in their hearts.
"Let me reintroduce myself! My name is Shui Yucong, a native of the imperial capital, and I am also a student of Tianfu. In the end, it was the fish from the water that broke this calm.
Mu Yinan was not too surprised by this, those who could know the inside story of Tianfu would naturally not be idle.
"What I'm going to say next is that I hope the two of you can keep it a secret. The water fish said solemnly. After seeing the two of them nodding, he continued, "Everyone knows that Tianfu, as the highest level of cultivation official in the empire, is also one of the nine major cultivation forces recognized by the entire Red Domain Continent. In June every year, Tianfu will recruit a group of new students for the entire Red Domain Empire, because Tianfu does not have many rules like the major sects, regardless of age, and does not ask about background, only need to pass a simple literary and military examination, so it can attract a large number of monks who are interested in cultivating the truth, but it is difficult to join the sect. For example, in Qingfeng Town before, almost the entire town rushed to the imperial capital to prepare for this year's Tianfu recruitment.
"It is also Tianfu's style of 'heroes don't ask where they come from' that makes Tianfu have a number of students that the other nine major cultivation forces can't forget," Shuiyu fiddled with the branch in his hand and said: " However, the huge number of personnel will inevitably bring about the distribution of resources, if all Tianfu students distribute cultivation resources according to the same standard, not to mention Tianfu, even the Taiyi Sect, which is known as the first cultivation force, cannot withstand this level of consumption, but Tianfu not only supports it, but in the eyes of the major forces, it is not difficult to support it, and the most important reason for this is the existence of the 'Wei Tianzong'......"
In the half-hour-long introduction of Shuiyu, Mu Yinan gradually learned about the reason behind Tianfu's "equal treatment".
In fact, among the many students in Tianfu, only two or three out of ten can be called disciples in the true sense, and only this group of people can obtain a series of inheritances in Tianfu, this group of people, or children of the family, after the famous family, or extremely talented, cultivation geniuses, and the rest of the people can only join the Tianfu Branch βββ Wei Tianzong.
Wei Tianzong also nominally belongs to Tianfu, but the resources that the disciples can use are pitiful, and if they want to get more resources, they can only exchange them through the master's mission. These are still normal, after all, the major cultivation forces will almost have a difference between inner and outer disciples, but the disciples of Wei Tianzong, in addition to the scarcity of resources, also need to swear by their souls, and they will not reveal the existence of Wei Tianzong for life, and they will not be sentenced to Tianfu for life, and they will fight for the Red Domain Empire for life. In essence, this is another army of monks privately set up for the empire in the name of learning, in addition to the regular army.
"So Lao Shui, are you a famous family, or are you talented?" After listening to Shui Yucong's words, Mu Yinan seemed to ask this question after careful consideration.
"Wow, my brother Nan, you have grasped the wrong point, right? Although this is not very good, but with your qualifications, if you join Tianfu, you can only enter Wei Tianzong, and entering Wei Tianzong means that you will be subject to others for the rest of your life, I see that you have no worries about food and clothing, why do you have to go to this troubled water?"
Mu Yinan smiled slightly, and didn't answer much, such a reaction made Shui Yucong very angry, he dropped the branch in his hand, stood up and paced back and forth, and kept scolding Mu Yinan for not knowing what to do.
"So, you haven't cultivated for ten years, why do you suddenly think about going to Tianfu to recruit new people?" After thinking for a long time, Zhu Jun finally opened her mouth, her expression at this time was indescribable, unclear, doubtful, worried, worried, and surprised, but she was not happy for Mu Yinan to regain her cultivation, she was always a little uneasy in her heart, she always felt that there was something wrong here, but she couldn't figure it out, and she didn't dare to think about it.
And after listening to Zhu Jun's words, Shui Yucong, who was still scolding, suddenly stopped, he looked at Zhu Jun, made sure that she didn't look like she was joking, and then looked at Mu Yinan, and there was already a storm in his heart: "You haven't cultivated for ten years?" That is to say, Brother Mu, you ...... At the age of six, you're already building a foundation?"
He suddenly felt that he and Mu Yinan were so strange, who was this not too conspicuous young man in front of him?
I saw Mu Yinan get up slowly, patted Shui Yucong's arm and motioned him to sit down, and then said with a little bitterness: "I have not been that genius for a long time." β
Zhu Jun "chuckled" in her heart, she didn't understand what Mu Yinan meant, but she knew that her hunch was right.
"Brother Shui, thank you for telling me bluntly, in that case, I will also introduce myself again. In Shimogi Inam, from Linhai Castle Mufu. Mu Yinan saluted to the fish and said slowly.
"You are really from Mu Mansion!" "The surname Mu is not common in the Red Domain Empire, and the largest family among them is the Mu Mansion in Linhai City, Shui Yu has also thought about Mu Yinan's family background before, which is not much different from what he guessed.
Mu Yinan nodded slightly, and then said to Zhu Jun: "Sister Jun, do you know why I suddenly gave up cultivation in the first place?"
"I don't know, but it should have something to do with your brother. β
Zhu Jun's tone seemed to be a little resentful. For many years, Zhu Jun had actually been suspicious of Mu Yinan's practice of giving up cultivation, because his abandonment seemed to come to an abrupt end, although she also knew that Mu Yinan himself was indeed not strong in his pursuit of cultivation, but he was not disgusted either.
"Not exactly. Mu Yinan let out a long sigh and said, "Actually, before my brother disappeared, there were elders in the family who proposed to abolish the elders and establish the young, because in their eyes, absolute strength can bring infinite hope to the family. Although I was young at the time, I also knew what it meant to my brother, it was a kind of resentment that my ambition was unrealizable, and it was also an unspeakable humiliation.
Originally, this matter was only discussed by a few elders with my father in private, after all, the stakes were very high. But my brother heard the news from somewhere. I still remember that he went home from Taiyi Gate at that time, saying that he was participating in the Mountain Gate Trial, and he came to inform his family, but he came to me privately and told me that he wanted to pursue a higher realm, because only in this way could he protect what he wanted. At first, I didn't understand, but when the news of his strayed into the Nine Secluded Desperate Realm came, I knew that where he had strayed into the desperate situation, he clearly knew that although he died in that desperate situation, he could also ascend to the sky in one step!"
Zhu Jun listened to Mu Yinan's dialect in surprise, and he didn't know what to say, it turned out that there were so many stories in the middle.
"At that time, I hated my talent for a while, because I felt that it was my talent that harmed my brother, if it wasn't for that, how could he take risks? So from that time on, I began to reject cultivation, no matter how high the realm was, what could I do? Didn't I still lose my brother?" Mu Yinan's voice began to tremble a little, as if he had returned to ten years ago, as if he had experienced that kind of pain again.
"Not only that, but you're also worried that if you continue to cultivate, even if your brother comes back one day and finds that his cultivation is still not as good as yours, he will do even more extreme things?" Zhu Jun's face calmed down a little, she knew that it would be useless to say anything more at this time, no matter how much she persuaded her.
"There are some," Mu Yinan did not deny it, and continued: "After eight years like this, I began to realize that my brother may never come back. At that time, I also began to understand that my behavior may not matter to myself, but to my parents and the Mu family, it may have a different meaning. So, I want to try to slowly resume my cultivation, try to make some changes, but it's just ......"
"Just what?" Zhu Jun suddenly became a little nervous.
"It's just that I suddenly found that when I wanted to perceive the spiritual power of heaven and earth again, it became extremely difficult, and my former talent seemed to have disappeared out of thin air......
