Yin and Yang Taoist Code

In fact, Mu Fangli had no prejudice against Ye Zhichen. Even if he had, the source of his resentment today is simply because Ye Zhichen was related to Mu Xueling's death.

Rather than being prejudiced against Ye Zhichen, it is better to say that he is angry with Ye Zhichen.

Putting aside the daughter factor, he actually quite admired Ye Zhichen. A penniless boy rose to great heights through his own hard work, and not only gained the reputation of Sword Master, but also became the master of an important peak in Taixu Palace. This kind of talent would be admired wherever he was placed. But his two daughters were rushing towards him like moths to a flame, which gave him a headache.

But today, Li Chuyi's words woke him up.

Li Chuyi was right, he was the least qualified to speak on the matter of Mu Xueqing and Ye Zhichen, even if he was Mu Xueqing's biological father.

Mu Xueling's matter was said to be a decision made by the upper echelons of the Mu family, but how could he have nothing to do with it?

If he hadn't been persuaded after weighing the pros and cons and thought that those old guys were right, how could he have come forward to persuade Mu Xueling to marry into the palace?

If he hadn't interfered, Mu Xueling might have stayed and flown with Ye Zhichen wherever he went. Although he would be angry, depressed, and would say that he would just pretend he had never given birth to this daughter, but in that case at least her daughter would still be alive and would not just become an indelible and extremely painful mark in his memory.

He still suspects that Yuwen Tailuo killed Mu Xueling, but are the Mu family and himself not the murderers?

Every time he thought about this incident, he felt sad and regretful.

If time could be turned back, if everything could be repeated, he would never use filial piety as a tool for kidnapping, nor would he agree with other clan elders who lied about the Mu family being suppressed to trick Mu Xueling into coming back.

The Mu family has reached the top of the human world with the help of "Thousands of Opportunities", but they can't figure out their own destiny. If he had known today's outcome, he would rather be angry. Even if he was angry to death, he would not want to see Mu Xueling die. He hoped that she would live happily.

What Mu Fangli regrets the most is that his ancestors clearly have ancestral precepts passed down. The Yuwen family and the Mu family can cooperate, but they must not blend in blood. The iron-clad admonitions are passed down from generation to generation, and every child of the Mu family knows it. Yes, but he ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.

Not only him, but almost everyone in the Mu family is like this.

Ten thousand years is too long, and the iron law will inevitably become rusty. Moreover, the ancestral precepts are not clan rules after all. In this generation, they are almost just recited routinely. Not many people take the ancestral precepts seriously.

The Mu family's clan rules clearly stipulate that the children of the Mu family must not ascend the throne and become emperors, and can only assist the Yuwen clan to consolidate their power as heavenly masters. The ancestral precepts are not as good as the clan rules, and no one dares to violate them. But people are all ambitious. Even if they are already in the clouds, they will still want to reach another level above the sky. After being the second child for more than 10,000 years, it is inevitable that the descendants of the Mu family will be moved.

Since the clan rules cannot be violated, the ancestral precepts that are in nature of admonishment become the reason for stretching.

Driven by ambition, many clan elders, including him, interpreted the admonition left by their ancestor Mu Qiming to "never mix blood" as an attitude to appease the Yuwen clan, indicating that the Mu family had absolutely no intention of getting involved in the throne. , there will always be only one tiger on the mountaintop of Dayan.

If that's the case, then things are simple.

For 10,000 years, the Yuwen family and the Mu family have always cooperated tacitly, and there have been few bad blood. The imperial power of the Yuwen clan is stable, and the position of the Mu family is also as stable as Mount Tai, and there has never been the slightest sign of wanting to replace it. Now that the Yuwen family intends to marry, and has taken the initiative to propose a grand idea that makes the Mu family extremely excited, then why should the Mu family not do it?

Not to mention that idea, if you give birth to an heir in the future, he will definitely be the best candidate for the throne. However, children born to children who marry outside the Mu family according to the Mu family's rules have nothing to do with the original Mu family and are not considered members of the Mu family. People, so even if he ascends the throne, he does not violate the Mu family's clan rules.

And this child is indeed half of the Mu family. Even if the Mu family does not admit it, this is a fact that cannot be ignored. In the eyes of outsiders, this child is half of the Mu family. Once he ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, the status of the Mu family will naturally rise and become A true uncrowned royal family.

Because of that plan and this idea, Mu Fangli agreed to the clan elders' decision in a single thought. As a result, the Mu family lost a proud daughter of heaven, and he himself was almost ruined.

Only then did he understand that his ancestor's admonition was not just an admonishment, but also some kind of overtone.

No wonder Mu Xueling told him three times not to regret it back then. He thought it was because of his daughter's family's angry words. It was only when everything was irreversible that he realized that Mu Xueling must have calculated something, and felt that there was a hidden disaster in it, but Because of filial piety, she didn't say it clearly and obeyed his and the Mu family's wishes.

Thinking about it today, Mu Xueling was helpless at the beginning. She had no interest in that plan from beginning to end, he could tell.

And he knows his own temper. Mu Fangli said that Yibuer has been domineering for most of his life. Even if Mu Xueling made it clear at the beginning, he would never believe her words without conclusive evidence. He would only think that she was messing around to find an escape for him. reason.

Mu Xueling woke him up with her own death, and also woke up Mu Xueqing. When Mu Xueqing ran away from home, she was able to leave the Mu family, the imperial capital, and Dayan without any danger. How could this be without his connivance?

There was only one precious daughter left, and he hoped that Mu Xueqing would live a good life and live the life she wanted. But today, why did his old habits relapse when he heard that she had a crush on him?

After thinking about it, Mu Fangli could only smile bitterly.

The answer is simple.

Because the person she likes is Ye Zhichen.

"God's will?"

Mu Fangli murmured to himself, looking up at the sky behind the roof.

Li Chuyi curled his lips: "I already said that we are in love, God's will is nothing! Even if it is intentional, it is my mother's blessing, and it has nothing to do with the thief God!"

"How come this kid talks so freely! There is a spirit in the sky, and you will be punished for talking nonsense!"

Mu Fangli gave him a stern look. How could Li Chuyi care? In terms of closeness, he was much closer to "God" than Mu Fangli was to "God". The three thieves to God were all his great uncles.

Seeing Li Chuyi's nonchalant look, Mu Fangli couldn't help but think of Mu Xueqing when he was a child. They were both rebellious and deviant and didn't care about anything. A knowing smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and immediately His face straightened up, pretending to be serious.

"I am your grandfather after all. Even if you don't recognize me, I am still your elder in terms of cultivation and age. There is something wrong with what I just said, and it's okay for you to point it out, but can your tone be more respectful? "

The little fat man stared. Did the old man start climbing up the hierarchy because he couldn't get married?

Do you want to confront him?

After thinking about it, he decided to let it go. The old man was right. He was his grandfather after all, and besides, he had to lean against his big tree to enjoy the shade. It would not be good if Tu suddenly offended him with his words.

However, issues of principle still need to be adhered to.

Clearing his throat, the little fat man asked: "Tell me first, what are you going to do about my Aunt Qing and my Uncle Ye? Do you still want to break them up? Let me advise you, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, so take it easy!"

"You said that Emperor Shan Gao is far away, is it useful for me to object? Do you think I can kill her at Taixu Palace and snatch her back?"

The old man puffed up his cheeks angrily, but his heart blossomed.

As expected of his own grandson, his prickly temper is exactly like his own when he was young!

"So you agree?"

Li Chuyi was a little surprised. He didn't expect that the old man was actually quite easy to talk to.

Seeing Mu Fangli nod his head casually with a stern look on his face, he felt happy. A smile that made both Li Sinian and Xiao Erhei feel ashamed instantly appeared on his face, and he leaned forward with a frown on his face.

"Grandpa, you are my real grandpa! I am young and speak upright, so don't take offense if I speak harshly! Are you thirsty? Come, I'll have someone give you some water. Xiaoerhei, Heizi? Hey, I forgot It’s gone, it’s okay, I’ll pour it for you myself!”

Although he had heard about it for a long time, but after seeing it with his own eyes, Mu Fangli still twitched his face fiercely, secretly thinking that the temper of this pervert was definitely not his own, it must be the Yuwen family's bad breeding, which spoiled my precious grandson's temper.

After holding down the little fat man who was working hard but without success, Mu Fangli said angrily and funny: "Grandpa, don't scream, it's grandpa!"

"Hey, grandpa spends a lot of time away from home! You are my grandpa, my real grandpa!"

The sound of "Grandpa" made Mu Fangli feel happy, and he felt so happy that even the wrinkles on his face opened with a smile.

But at this time, Li Chuyi changed the topic, lowered his face and said quietly: "But before you become my grandfather, you have to tell me something clearly. My mother, how did she die? Was it really due to dystocia? "

The atmosphere that had just warmed up instantly cooled down, and Mu Fangli lost his smile as he looked at Li Chu without speaking for a long time.

Li Chuyi was not in a hurry and waited quietly with an expressionless face.

After a long time, Mu Fangli suddenly turned his eyes and stared straight into his eyes.

"Child, are these eyes of yours yin-yang pupils?"

Li Chuyi was shocked. Yin-Yang Pupil is another name for Yin-Yang Dao Eye. Mu Fangli actually knew his secret? !

"Don't be afraid. I know it's not strange. I also know where your eyes came from. You are right. Your mother died not only because of dystocia, but also because of your eyes."

Li Chuyi was stunned.

"What's the meaning?"

Mu Fangli did not answer in a hurry, but first waved to Li Chuyi to sit down. Knowing that Li Chuyi was reluctant to touch anything in the room, he waved his sleeves and took out a set of teacups, picked up the teapot and filled a cup for each of them.

When Li Chuyi couldn't help but curse, Mu Fangli finally cleared his thoughts after taking a sip of tea and let out a long sigh.

"On the first day of the new year, do you know how many Yan emperors have ascended to the immortal world in the thousands of years since the founding of Dayan?"

Li Chu nodded: "Not one."

He knew this, the Taoist priest once told him.

"What about the Mu family? Do you know how many members of the Mu family have ascended to the immortal world?"

"Well...I don't know, there should be a few, right?"

"wrong!"

Mu Fangli shook his head heavily: "There is not one! In ten thousand years, no one from the two top families of Dayan, the Yuwen family and the Mu family, has become an immortal! Not only us, but also all the sects and families born in Dayan No one has ascended to the Immortal Realm, and the only two people who have ascended to the Immortal Realm are outsiders. One is from Mobei, and the other is from the Nanming Sword Sect in the Far South! Those two people only ascended normally, and the local monks of Dayan are better than them. There are countless times, but every time the Immortal Gate opens, there is no such opportunity. Why do you think this is?"

Of course Li Chuyi knew why, but he couldn't say it, so he shook his head gently.

"Because we are too prosperous!"

"ha?"

This answer was something Li Chuyi didn't expect. He originally thought that Mu Fangli would say that he was abandoned by heaven and hated by heaven for taking away the destiny of the human world, which ended their immortal fate.
