Originally Mu Yi was a little unimpressed by the so-called thank you, but when he heard that it was a jade pendant that a heavenly being had worn personally, he finally became interested. With a slight move, the jade pendant fell into his hands.
This is a dragon-shaped jade pendant, which is also a style that many people like. In terms of jade itself, it is rare. Even if the divine light is restrained, Mu Yi can see it at a glance.
But what really concerned him was not the quality of the jade pendant, but the meaning it represented.
It is said that those who are close to vermilion are red and those who are close to ink are black. This jade pendant has always been worn by powerful heavenly beings. Over time, it has naturally been contaminated with some heavenly and human aura. Especially when the powerful heavenly beings are practicing, it will subtly affect the surroundings.
of everything.
Jade is a spiritual channel, people can nourish jade, and jade can also nourish people.
And if the village chief could give it out in such a serious manner, it definitely couldn't be a piece of useless jade.
Mu Yi wrapped it with the power of his mind and slowly realized that there was a trace of aura entrenched in the center of the jade pendant. Although it was not much, the level of that power far exceeded Mu Yi's current level.
"It is indeed the power of heaven and man."
Mu Yi had already seen the decrees of heaven and man, and naturally he would not admit his mistake. Moreover, compared to the power in the decrees of heaven and man, the power in this jade pendant is obviously easier to analyze. If he could study it thoroughly in advance, maybe his strength would be even higher.
One floor, even without lamp oil, can break the blockade of the last two life wheels in his body in advance.
So this gift from the other party is not unvaluable.
Of course, whether something is precious or not depends on whose hands it is and whether it is useful, but at the moment, Mu Yi cannot give up what he has got.
"I want this jade pendant. You can make a condition, and only I can do it." Mu Yi looked at the village chief and said, even though the other party said it would be given to him, he could not accept it.
"The jade pendant was originally given to you, so how can we talk about the conditions?" the village chief said, shaking his head.
"Okay, forget it if it's someone else, but you don't understand the importance of this jade pendant to me. If you continue to insist on not asking for conditions, then I will take it seriously." Mu Yi played with the jade pendant in his hand and looked at the other person.
said.
This village chief is definitely an old fox. He can calculate so many things just after saving him. Especially after knowing that he comes from the earth and some of his next plans, how can he do it in vain? If it is just to say thank you, it is completely useless.
No need to take out the ancestral jade pendant.
People must ask for something from a courtesy, let alone such an important courtesy.
Seeing what Mu Yi said, the expression on the village chief's face froze. Under the watchful eyes of Jiang Wu, Jiang Xiaoyu, mother and son, he finally stopped talking about what he meant. Apparently he also understood that if he didn't do it right, he would be beaten and reap the consequences.
"Since the adults say so, then I don't know how to praise you if you persist." The village chief found a step for himself. The corner of Jiang Wu's mouth twitched, and even Jiang Xiaoyu turned his head to the side.
Not wanting to look any further, his mother had a smile in her eyes.
Mu Yi didn't say anything, just looked at the other person.
"The little old man is getting older now, and it is not a pity to die. I just can't let go of the descendants of my Jiang family, and I can't let go of the village. Once the little old man dies, Jiang Wu will be left alone. Fortunately, God will not kill me, Jiang Wu."
Family, let Xiaoyu, this unicorn child, be reincarnated into my Jiang family, so I have nothing to ask for, I just hope that you can accept Xiaoyu as your disciple." The village chief's words shocked the other people, and Jiang Xiaoyu's face was even more shocked.
, it seems that he never thought that the village chief would pay such a precious jade pendant just to let him become a disciple. When he thought of the village chief's care for him over the years, his heart was suddenly filled with emotion.
"Apprenticeship?" Mu Yi said calmly, at least from his face it was impossible to tell what he was thinking at the moment and whether he agreed or not.
At this point, the village chief could only bite the bullet and continue: "The little old man also knows that Xiao Yu does not have this blessing, and he does not even expect adults to pass on the information. He only needs a few pointers."
"I'm afraid I won't be able to stay here for a few more days," Mu Yi continued.
"As long as the adults are willing, even if it is only for one day, it will be Xiaoyu's blessing." The village chief said quickly.
"Okay, I will stay here for two more days. During this period, I will try my best to teach him. As for what achievements he can achieve in the future, it is beyond my control." Mu Yi agreed happily.
Come down, maybe in his eyes this is nothing at all. After all, Jiang Xiaoyu has been taught Wuming Boxing before, and in the remaining time, how much he can learn depends on his talent.
"Xiaoyu, why don't you thank me quickly?" Seeing Mu Yi agree, the village chief said to Jiang Xiaoyu with a happy face.
"Yes, I have seen Master." Jiang Xiaoyu bowed her head to Mu Yi. Mu Yi did not shy away and accepted the gift with peace of mind. However, he said: "Although I promised to call you, I had no intention of calling you."
I will accept you as my apprentice."
Hearing Mu Yi's words, Jiang Xiaoyu was a little confused and knelt there at a loss.
Originally, his mother's face was also full of surprise, but at this time, her face could not help but freeze. However, the village chief seemed to have expected it and did not show much disappointment.
"Xiaoyu, as long as the master is willing to teach you, it will be fine. As for the master-disciple status, just keep this kind of thing in your heart."
"Yes, I will." Jiang Xiaoyu nodded vigorously, obviously believing what the village chief said. Even if Mu Yi didn't admit it, he regarded Mu Yi as his master in his heart. As for Mu Yi, he didn't refute, and seemed to acquiesce.
The other person’s words.
However, there is some difference between having no status and having status. Mu Yi knows this, the village chief knows it, but Jiang Xiaoyu definitely doesn't know it.
In the evening, after dinner, Mu Yi returned to his room and took out the jade pendant given to him by the village chief. He had not studied it carefully before because everyone was there, but now he naturally did not want to let it go.
Cross-legged on the bed, the jade pendant was placed between Mu Yi's eyebrows. The power of his mind poured into it tentatively, for fear of causing a counterattack from the power inside. Although this power was very small, it was a power of the heavenly level after all. If he were not careful, it would be very dangerous.
It's easy for Mu Yi to backlash, so Mu Yi was extra careful this time.
As the mental power entered the jade pendant, Mu Yi felt a trance in front of his eyes, and then an old man in green appeared.
"Is this?" Looking at the real old man in front of him, Mu Yi felt a clear understanding in his heart. If he guessed correctly, this old man should be the former owner of the jade pendant, the ancestor of the Jiang family.
The old man's eyebrows and beard were both white, and his eyes were dark and deep. Just one glance made Mu Yi feel like he was being seen through.
"I've met senior." Mu Yi saluted him.
"Why."
At this time, the old man sighed softly.
"I should be dead, right?" the old man said slowly.
After hearing this, Mu Yi didn't know what to say. In fact, he never thought that the jade pendant was not the aura of heaven and man that was contaminated at all, but a thought left behind by the other party, and he had been sleeping until
Awakened by the power of his mind.
At this time, even if Mu Yi wanted to withdraw, it was already too late. If he offended the other party, it would be even more unworthy.
"Actually, when the main body left, I already knew that this would be the result." The old man shook his head, then looked at Mu Yi and said, "You are definitely of the blood of my Jiang family, but since you got the jade pendant, you can come here."
It should have something to do with my lineage."
"As the senior said, the junior saved the whole village of the Jiang family before, and also accepted a talented person from the Jiang family as his disciple, so the village chief of the Jiang family gave the jade pendant to the junior." Mu Yi would directly give Jiang Xiaoyu the jade pendant.
After being upgraded to apprentice, the two of them are already master and apprentice, and more importantly, this can bring them closer to the Jiang family.
Sure enough, after hearing Mu Yi's words, the old man's expression softened a lot, and he could also feel that Mu Yi did not lie. This was enough. Moreover, the jade pendant had been in the hands of the Jiang family for so many years, and no clues had been discovered. Although it was
It has something to do with the fact that the Jiang family is incompetent and cannot meet the conditions to awaken him, but it is enough to show that the descendants of the Jiang family are not destined. Since Mu Yi is here, the destined person is Mu Yi.
The key is that Mu Yi is so deeply involved with the Jiang family that he is not giving an advantage to outsiders. Otherwise, if the enemy really gets it, the old man will never act like this. He would rather let this idea dissipate than help the other party.
"If I'm not mistaken, you have already gathered the Tao seeds, but you are injured now. Do you think the people who want to destroy my Jiang family have such strength?" the old man said with a hint of doubt.
"The junior's injury is not caused by this, but by other reasons. As for the demon clan who wants to destroy the Jiang family, the culprit has been killed by the junior." Mu Yi knew very well that lying in front of the powerful gods and humans is the best way to do it.
It's an unwise thing. Even if the heavenly being in front of him is just a thought, if he really wants to, he might not be able to kill him, but in that case, the gain will outweigh the loss.
"With my current strength, I can't help you, but for the sake of saving my Jiang family, I can give you some benefits." The old man said.
Mu Yi actually had no intention of asking the other party to help break the blockade on the life wheel, and the key reason was that he still couldn't trust the other party. Now that he heard that the other party was going to give him benefits, he sneered in his heart, but he still had a look of sincerity and fear on his face.
"This junior hopes to gain the enlightenment of breaking through the heavenly beings." When it comes to benefits, Mu Yi will naturally not wrong himself.
Upon hearing Mu Yi's request, the old man opposite him was speechless for a long time, just staring at Mu Yi.
"Is it difficult?" Mu Yi asked with a puzzled look.
"Even when I was alive, if I wanted you to experience the enlightenment I had when I broke through to heaven and man, you would have to pay a certain price, let alone now? And everyone's feelings when I break through are different. My path is not suitable for you."
The old man said.
"So that's it." Mu Yi shook his head with some pity, and then said: "Then it's better for the seniors to help the juniors improve their Taoism to perfection, otherwise it will be considered a great success."
This time, there was still no sound coming from the other side. Mu Yi looked up and was startled by the other side's eyes. (To be continued)
