Chapter 52: Little Cannon Fodder, Big Dreams (5)
Muyan took the little girl out of the dense forest, and the little girl discovered that this dense forest was actually the wild forest to the east of their village.
His grandfather said that there are man-eating beasts here and no one in the village dares to come here.
The little girl could never have imagined that there would be a white-bearded grandfather here.
"Grandpa, are you a god?"
The little girl had contracted an epidemic before, and according to the village custom, she was to be offered to the river god as a river maiden.
But now her disease has been cured by the grandfather in front of her.
She heard from her grandfather that the one who could cure the epidemic in their village was a god.
Muyan looked at the girl in front of her like a fool and said, "If you say so, then so!"
Not long after they walked, they arrived at the little girl's house.
"Mom, I'm back,"
The little girl shouted happily into the house.
Soon, a woman wearing a dark-colored coarse cloth and with tears on her face came out in a hurry.
"Xiao An, is that you?"
"My Xiao An!" The woman hugged Xiao An tightly and cried excitedly.
When Xiao An saw her mother crying, she couldn't help but start crying too.
"You will have plenty of opportunities to cry in my arms later."
Muyan couldn't bear it anymore and suddenly spoke up, saying that she came here to do something, not to see them cry.
Maruzai: ...a machine without emotions.
Hearing this, the woman let go of her daughter in her arms and said, "Xiao An, this is..."
Xiao An walked to Mu Yan's side with tears on her face.
"Mom, this is my immortal grandfather with a white beard. He saved me and cured my disease. He is going to save our entire village," said the little girl, feeling proud unconsciously.
When the woman heard that her daughter's disease had been cured by the man in front of her, she wiped the tears from her face.
"God, please come in, please come in," he was so excited that he was at a loss.
Muyan nodded slightly, flicked her whisk, and went into the house.
The news that Xiao An was rescued by the White-bearded Immortal and cured of the plague quickly spread throughout the village.
A small number of villagers, with the intention of giving it a try, secretly came to Xiao An's house to look for Mu Yan.
Soon, one after another, villagers were cured of the epidemic.
The theory of river god sacrifice is self-defeating.
The sorcerer who had cheated the villagers before was sent to the government by the villagers.
The name of the White Bearded Immortal Muyan spread further and further. Even the Supreme Emperor Wu heard about it and ordered his men to bring him into the palace.
"Are you the White-bearded Immortal that everyone in the capital has been talking about lately?"
Mu Yan simply bowed, raised her head, and said in a neither humble nor arrogant manner, "Your Majesty, the so-called gods are nothing but myths. I only know the art of divination and exorcism."
After Muyan finished speaking, she saw that Emperor Wu frowned.
The eunuch beside him saw this and immediately stepped forward to massage his solar plexus.
"No matter who you are, as long as you can cure the emperor's headache, we will treat you as a real god."
Mu Yan waved her whisk and asked, "Is there anyone with pure Yin horoscope around the Emperor?"
The eunuch's brain immediately started working at high speed.
"Yes, yes, the eldest prince and the fourth prince are both pure Yin in their horoscopes. What does this matter?"
Mu Yan nodded, as if to understand. "People with pure Yin in their horoscopes are naturally unlucky with those they are close to. If they hold high positions, they will cause unrest in the country and plunge the people into dire straits."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu excitedly slapped the table beside him.
"That's nonsense,"
"They grew up in the palace. If it's true as you said, I would have been killed when they were born. How could I have lived for so many years?"
Mu Yan looked calm, standing there like an old god.
"Pure Yin people are not born with the ability to defeat others. It will only become apparent after a certain attribute in their soul is stimulated."
"Your Majesty, think carefully, have these two princes been different from usual recently?"
Emperor Wu hadn't noticed it before, but after hearing what Mu Yan said, he immediately remembered the difference between the two.
The eldest brother has been coming to pay his respects to him more often recently than before, but the fourth brother has been coming less often.
Every time I see him, it's like a mouse meeting a cat.
Emperor Wu didn't know what this difference meant. "Even if there is, what does it mean? If you don't give me an explanation today, I will chop off your head right here in court."
"Your Majesty, please invite the two princes into the palace now. I will prove it to you."
Emperor Wu was silent for a while and gave a look to the eunuch beside him.
The chief eunuch immediately signaled, "Announce the First and Fourth Princes to the palace for an audience."
"Your Majesty, in order to avoid hurting the father-son relationship between you and the two princes, I will move behind the screen for a while," said Mu Yan.
Emperor Wu nodded in agreement.
Not long after, the two princes arrived at Yangju Palace.
"Your son pays homage to His Majesty the Father,"
The two of them knelt together before Emperor Wu to pay their respects.
Emperor Wu stared intently at his two sons kneeling in front of him with his old and cloudy eyes, fearing that he would miss something in the blink of an eye.
Mu Yan was behind the screen and casually cast an illusion on the two kneeling people.
Emperor Wu's eyes, which were as calm as water, suddenly became shocked and panicked.
The evil beast pounces on the dragon!
He actually saw the evil beast pouncing on the two people.
What the master said was actually true.
These two sons really want to kill him.
Emperor Wu casually spoke to the two men for a few words and then let them go.
After the two of them left, Emperor Wu called out to Muyan behind the screen in a panic.
"Master, I saw it,"
"How can I solve this problem? How can I avoid being killed by these two evil sons?"
Mu Yan's expression was indifferent. She took out a blessing bag filled with talismans from her sleeve and handed it to Emperor Wu. "The distance of ten thousand miles plus this blessing bag can relieve the emperor's worries."
The chief eunuch hurried forward to take the blessing package, returned to Emperor Wu, and hung it on the jade belt around his waist.
Emperor Wu thought for a while and said, "Master, the distance is thousands of miles. I want these two evil sons to guard the border. Do you think it's okay? The distance between the capital and the border is thousands of miles."
Mu Yan nodded, "Okay."
She had previously learned from the original owner's memories that the emperor was seriously ill, and the eldest prince seized power and killed more than a hundred innocent palace maids to silence them.
After becoming emperor, his methods became even more brutal.
Muyan thought about it this way and wondered if this action of hers could be considered as getting rid of a tyrant for the people of the world.
As for the Fourth Prince, Mu Yan thought, all she could say was that the frontier was more suitable for him.
After all, once she reached the frontier, she would no longer be controlled by her mother and uncle.
Maruzai: ...Just do what you want to do. Who are you trying to show off to by making so many excuses?
Upon hearing this, Emperor Wu immediately asked the eunuchs to draft an imperial edict.
Before the eldest prince and the fourth prince could figure out what was happening, they were blindfolded and taken into a carriage by the guards brought by the eunuch who announced the decree.
Because the two of them left the capital, Emperor Wu's headaches recurred more and more frequently, and he began to trust Mu Yan more and more.
A palace was specially set up in the palace for Muyan to live in.
Mu Yan politely declined Emperor Wu's idea of ​​appointing him as the imperial teacher, and lived in the palace as an ordinary Taoist priest.
