Chapter 283 My wife is the empress

Chen Ji and Mu Xiaoxiao came to an ordinary mountain village.

The village is built on the mountain. There is a large forest behind the village and rolling mountains in the distance. There are rivers and ponds near the village. At a glance, it looks like many villages on the earth.

"The location has changed a bit."

After getting off the carriage, he walked to Mu Xiaoxiao outside the village. After looking at him for a while, he said something.

"One hundred thousand years is a long time for ordinary people, and it is incredible that the village still exists."

Chen Ji smiled.

He probably surmised why Mu Xiaoxiao didn't help the family rise. The path she took at the beginning was unfavorable. Once she revealed her hometown to the outside world, she would probably be wiped out by a strong man.

After she became invincible in the nine realms and wanted to come back for a visit, the village had changed. She simply didn't do anything and let the village stay here.

"Um."

Mu Xiaoxiao nodded slightly and entered the village with Chen Ji.

It was already evening, and smoke was rising in the village. Farmers were driving bullock carts back from the fields. Children at the entrance of the village were playing with wooden swords and knives. After seeing the two of them, they were not afraid of danger and came around them with loud noises.

Chen Ji took out some snacks bought from the city and gave them to them, and asked with a smile: "Children, what are the surnames of the families in your village?"

"The last name is Li!"

"All surnamed Li?"

"Yes, our last name is Li."

"Isn't there anyone named Mu?"

Chen Ji asked, and sure enough, there was no one named Mu, and they had never heard of anyone named Mu living here.

"No, there is someone named Mu!" an older boy suddenly shouted, pointing to a place behind the village with his hand that had just finished eating snacks, and loudly said: "The mountain god enshrined in the mountain temple is named Mu!"

"It turns out that the mountain god's surname is Mu!"

A group of children shouted. After all, they were illiterate and could not recognize the words on the mountain god's tablet.

Chen Ji had a strange expression on his face and looked at a certain empress beside him: "Isn't it you who is being worshiped?"

The empress snorted, ignored him, and walked straight to the village.

Chen Ji followed with a smile.

A guest came to the village. After hearing the news, the village chief came and had a chat with Chen Ji.

"Mr. Chen is looking for someone named Mu?"

The village chief, who was in his fifties, seemed a little worried and said: "The back of the village is actually not a mountain temple, but the ancestral land of the Mu family. As for the Mu family... they send people back every year to worship. In addition, there is a temple in front of the ancestral land.

If you two members of the Mu family want to know something, you can go to him."

Chen Ji guessed that the village chief was afraid that someone would seek revenge, so he first distanced himself from the relationship between the village and the Mu family's ancestral land.

Mu Xiaoxiao didn't say much and nodded lightly.

After Chen Ji smiled at the village chief, he asked about the location of his ancestral land, and then took Mu Xiaoxiao forward.

The village has changed too much, but it was the recent Fengyang City that touched the Empress a little.

The two came to the mountain temple.

It's either an ancestral hall or a mountain temple. The name is engraved on the plaque, called Qingshan Mountain Temple.

The temple is not big, and there are wing rooms on the left and right of the main hall. When you walk into the temple, there is a tripod in the courtyard paved with stone slabs. There is smoke in the main hall, and an old man is cleaning it inside.

"Your surname is Mu?"

Mu Xiaoxiao stood in the yard and asked the old man calmly.

Just by looking at this hand, you can tell that she is a practitioner.

The old man turned around, holding a broom in his hand, and looked over: "My surname is indeed Mu. I wonder who the two guests are...?"

"Do you know that Mu Tian is virtuous? Or maybe Mu Tian is high."

"Mu Tiande is the name of the ancestor of the Mu family in Qi. Are you...?!"

The old man sweeping the floor looked surprised.

If you were an enemy of the Mu family, you wouldn't be able to ask about the ancestors of the Mu family.

"Mu Tiande is my younger brother."

Mu Xiaoxiao said lightly and walked towards the palace, gesturing for Chen Ji to follow him with his eyes.

Chen Ji laughed dumbly. This sentence was so shocking that the old man sweeping the floor guarding the ancestral temple was stunned.

He was probably running wildly with thoughts in his mind:

My ancestor Mu Tiande is actually the younger brother of this girl who looks to be 16 or 17 years old. How is this possible?! If it is true, this means that the girl in front of me is at least 100,000 years old!

One hundred thousand years!

At least the Immortal Realm cultivation level!

How could such an ancestor of the Mu family still exist?!

After entering the hall and seeing the stunned look of the old sweeper, Chen Ji smiled again. He was sure that Mu Xiaoxiao said this on purpose, in a bad taste, or in a happy mood after seeing an old friend.

After returning to her hometown, the empress has always been in a good mood.

"Two, two, Miss, Your Excellency!"

The old man was very excited for a while, but after a while he calmed down and asked with a little respect: "I am a descendant of the Mu family, and I am a martial artist. I was punished and returned to my ancestral hall to make you laugh... I don't know what my name is, Miss?"

Mu Xiaoxiao did not answer Mu Jingwu's question, she looked towards the altar.

Chen Ji also looked over and saw that it was not a statue of a mountain god, but a monument.

The inscription contains a couple's names, life stories, children and other information in vigorous handwriting.

Among them, the youngest son is Mu Tiande, and the second daughter is——

"look."

Chen Ji pointed at the monument and said with a smile: "The filial daughter Mu Xiaoxiaoli, isn't this her name?"

Mu Xiaoxiao gave him a look and ordered to Mu Jingwu: "Bring me a stick of incense."

Mu Jingwu, who came to guard the ancestral temple because of punishment, was already stunned. In the Mu family genealogy and major events he had read, there was almost no record of "Mu Xiaoxiao".

After all, this name is a nickname at first glance, and it was already dead before it was officially named.

If she hadn't erected the monument in the Mu family's ancestral hall, she wouldn't even be qualified to enter the Mu family genealogy.

Seeing this scene at this moment, Mu Jingwu realized something was wrong:

The second daughter, Mu Xiaoxiao, set up a monument, but her younger brother, Mu Tiande, the ancestor of the Mu family, did not record her sister's name in the genealogy, nor did it record how her sister took him to earn a living after their parents died.

"Bring me a stick of incense!"

Mu Xiaoxiao said again.

Mu Jingwu came back to his senses, gritted his teeth, and quickly went to get the incense, believing what these two people said for the time being.

After all, she came to offer incense to the ancestors of the Mu family.

…

Mu Xiaoxiao lit the incense, inserted it himself, and bowed three times.

Chen Ji also did as he was told, after all, he was here.

After the simple worship, Mu Xiaoxiaocai explained: "When I came back in the past, I saw the abandoned tombs of my parents, so I made an inscription to make the inscription have some shocking effect. Perhaps after many years, the villagers saw the inscription.

Because of his magical powers, he built this mountain temple."

Mu Jingwu was shocked: "So that's how it is... No wonder the Mu family's ancestral hall is in the temple, and there are ancestral instructions that prohibit major repairs and modifications to the ancestral hall, and it is forbidden to return to the ancestral land to major civil engineering..."

It turns out that there is an ancestor from the Mu family!

The ancestor Mu Xiaoxiao could not return to the family for some reasons, but Mu Tiande was afraid that he would not recognize her when she came back, so he left his ancestral instructions so that the Mu family could not change the appearance of the village and not affect the life of the village, which has been passed down to this day.

It is equivalent to saying that Mu Tiande left a well-hidden back-up for the Mu family, with his sister, an empress, as his backer!

The earliest stele must be Mu Tiandeli, but his sister made another stele, and he could only recognize it, and he was probably very happy.

"I am leaving."

After the worship ceremony, Mu Xiaoxiao was about to leave with Chen Ji.

Mu Jingwu hurriedly stopped and said: "Mu, Miss Mu, it's rare to come back, why don't I take you two back to the Mu family... No, let the head of the Mu family come to see you in person. After confirming your identity, I

The Mu family will wholeheartedly worship you, our ancestor, you said..."

He couldn't confirm Mu Xiaoxiao's identity, so he could only try to retain her first.
