Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 136 Return safely

Muren can become the head of a small village in the tribe at this age, which is inseparable from his own efforts. He is indeed a talent worth cultivating.

But there are other reasons why he can become one of the future successors to the clan elder.

Muren and Wulan were once framed by the Temple, and there is an irreconcilable hatred between them and the Temple.

The older generation knew that they did not want to fall out with the Temple, and their old bones would not be able to hold out for much longer.

If the next generation of young people are all devoted to the temple, then the sacrificial lineage will slowly fade out of people's sight just like the original temple.

At that time, the sacrificial lineage would be powerless to save the situation.

In the end, they may have to obey the orders of the temple, or completely withdraw from the world. The worst result is that the sacrificial lineage will completely disappear and cease to exist.

The older generation hopes that the priests and the temple can check and balance each other and be evenly matched.

Only if the two factions continue to compete will their tribes become stronger.

Being chosen as a clan elder doesn't appear to be as glorious as being a guardian or an elder.

But they are also all very capable people.

Maybe they are not outstanding in cultivation, or even useless. But they must have something extraordinary. They are all very shrewd, how could they not know that Wulan and the others were framed by the Saint Girl.

However, the elders of the tribe would not easily intervene. In their eyes, the weak were not worthy of sympathy.

But Muren and his team overcame the difficulties, which is worthy of their attention.

After all, Muren and Wulan still have some value to them, and the elders have secretly added some tests to them.

The two of them have awkward identities. Wulan was once the childhood sweetheart of the high priest Mengke, and Muren is the brother of the high priest and the brother of Elder Jiayu. And their daughter was chosen by the temple.

Wu Na has a chance to run for the title of Saint.

Several elders of the clan were attracted by Mu Ren's abilities and the identities of the couple.

The elders of the tribe are all shrewd people. They are not afraid of causing trouble. This is a good opportunity to let the younger generation know their attitudes.

Mu Ren lived up to everyone's expectations when he became the village head, and gradually people in the village accepted him.

In fact, the villagers did not have much prejudice against Muren. What they could not accept was Wulan.

Wulan's bloodline is impure, which is what they cannot tolerate the most.

No matter whether Wulan was gentle and virtuous or fierce and rude, they could not accept Wulan. In their eyes, Wulan was a sinner with dirty blood in her body.

Lian Wulan's children were also ostracized by other children in the village.

Ever since Muren became the head of the village, and with the help of the elders who disciplined the tribe members on a daily basis, Wulan's life has gradually become better.

As time went by, the villagers would not take the initiative to interact with their family unless there was something going on. Unless it was necessary, they would stay away from them.

But Wulan had to contact other people for the sake of her children.

Every time Wulan took the initiative to greet the villagers, he would be ridiculed.

Some even pretend not to see it.

Gradually, Wulan didn't care anymore. It was just that Yixi was still young, and Wulan was afraid that he would be bullied. But Yixi was well-behaved and sensible since he was a child, and was loved by several elders.

Gradually, some people began to treat their family better.

Justice is in the hearts of the people. The two of them have indeed done a lot of good things for the villagers over the years.

Especially Muren, he is a very competent village head.

When Muren went fishing, he saved some villagers. Some people were grateful and although they didn't dare to get too close to his family, they would restrain their children and family members from deliberately targeting him.

Whenever there is a dispute in someone's family, Mu Ren can handle it fairly.

Whenever there were conflicts between neighbors, Muren would try to mediate.

If some families really can't make ends meet, Muren will send them some food.

Over the years, Muren has helped many people and has done what a qualified village head should do. Their family's situation has also improved.

Muren is generous and doesn't care about things, but he also has a bottom line.

He doesn't care what people say about their family in private, but if a real fight comes to a head, Mu Ren will never back down.

It has to be said that although Muren is not a qualified husband, he is indeed a good village head and a basically qualified Aji.

Yixi had a good relationship with him, and his two adopted sons respected him. His adopted daughter, Liya, was spoiled by him like a little princess. Only Wu Na had not been with him since she was a child, so there was basically no father-daughter relationship between them.

Treat your son like this: You can throw him or hit him, but treat your daughter like this: You should pamper her.

Ever since the woman he loved died, his heart died with her.

He and Wulan were plotted against, and he couldn't let Wulan be killed.

Wu Na is Meng Ke's daughter, and she is naturally cold. Mu Ren treats Wu Na and Li Ya differently. Li Ya is cheerful and loves to laugh, but she has no sense of propriety and only knows how to make trouble. But because she is a girl, Mu Ren cannot treat her like a son.

Wu Na has talent and was chosen by the Temple. They cannot disobey the Temple's will because these rules were set a long time ago.

Any candidate who has the potential to become a saint cannot be easily harmed. They need to be nurtured from a young age. If their parents are unwilling to let them go, then they are one step further away from the position of the saint's successor.

Wulan and Muren were not interested in this position, but they could not go against their ancestors' teachings. They were already ostracized in the village, and if they did something that went against their ancestors' teachings, things would get even more complicated.

Besides, there is Elder Jiayu in the temple, and Muren believes that Jiayu will take care of Wu Na.

Although Wulan was reluctant to leave her child, she couldn't face Wuna at that time, so she just didn't have to face Wuna. Wulan nodded in agreement.

In fact, the two of them were also thinking about Wu Na. Wu Na had talent, and they also hoped that Wu Na could achieve success in her studies.

After all, the sooner a person's potential is stimulated, the better. If it is too late, it will be buried. Once some things are missed, there will be no chance to remedy them.

In comparison, Liya is a very ordinary child. She has no talent and even looks ordinary. When Liya was a child, she was really carefree. When she was a little older, she found that people liked her for her cheerful and smiling personality instead of her.

Gradually, Liya no longer laughed from the bottom of her heart like she did when she was a child. She did it on purpose, she wanted everyone around her to focus on her.

Although Liya was young, she was very ambitious. She knew that although Wu Na went to the Holy Mountain, she could not be ranked among the many disciples of the Holy Mountain. Liya felt that Wu Na was not worthy of entering the Holy Mountain at all, and she would only be at the bottom if she entered.

Leah wants to become the first female clan elder.

There is no other way, this is Leah's only way out.

In fact, Leah had also thought about marrying a powerful and high-ranking member of the tribe.

But she was too ordinary, and even though she was the daughter of the village head, she had no way to change her situation.

After all, Muren and Wulan are not welcome in the village. Even if everyone can accept Liya, their attitude towards her is weird.

Leah never doubted her background because she was very favored at home.

For an ordinary woman like Leah, there is really no other way out except marrying a good man.

Only women with extraordinary talents like Coral Guardian and Amber Guardian are qualified to control their own destiny.

Unfortunately, the selection process for the priest lineage is very complicated, and Monk has done his best.

I don’t know if in a hundred years or so, the status of the temple will completely crush the sacrificial lineage.

If Monk retires now, it will be difficult for Linlang to compete with the Temple with her current strength.

Linlang's talent is not as good as the Saint's. Perhaps the two should not be compared.

Because the inheritance inherited by the saint is fundamentally different from the inheritance of the sacrificial lineage.

But it must be said that the current Saint is a courageous and decisive person. Except for her improper handling of private issues between men and women, in other aspects, the Saint is pretty good.

Even if she had some leverage over some people and controlled and framed many people in order to consolidate her power, it only showed that she was a capable leader.

Whether it is right or wrong depends on the perspective. To people like Jiayu and Gelu, the Saint is a sinister and vicious villain.

In the eyes of Muren and Wulan, the saint is a person with a heart as vicious as a snake.

But in the eyes of those elders and disciples who are madly obsessed with the Saint, the Saint is the supreme being.

In their eyes, everything the saint did was for her people.

This generation of saints has been in office for many years, even a few years earlier than Monk.

The glory she created over the years overshadowed her promiscuity and extravagance. After all, a saint would always miss the point.

I don’t know what kind of character the next Saint will have, but I hope she won’t be the same as the current one.

Those are things for the future. Monk has already decided to retire, so let Linlang and the others take care of these things.

After many twists and turns, Cong Heng and his group finally saw the villa.

There were always people guarding the entrance of the villa, and they immediately went forward to greet Cong Heng and his group.

Two of them quickly ran into the villa, shouting as they ran: "They are back! They are back! Help! They are back!"

Soon almost everyone in the villa knew about it. Those with serious injuries were forced to stay behind, and Elder Gelu stayed behind to look after the wounded.

When the shouting was heard, Dharma Protector Zhuji was examining Elder Jiayu, and Wu Na was also there.

Several people were delighted when they heard the shouting.

Jiayu: “Go and have a look.”

Zhuji: "Then I'll go take a look. You lie down first and don't move."

Jiayu: "Go ahead and don't worry"

Wu Na turned and ran, and Zhu Ji followed her out.

Wu Na disappeared quickly, and Zhu Ji walked fast, but he was carrying a medicine box with him, which was full of bottles and jars, all of which were treasures for healing. He was an adult, so he couldn't be rash.

Zhuji was anxious and could only quicken her pace.

When Wu Na arrived, Cong Heng and his group had just entered the villa.
