An Immortal Master Kneels Before Village Chief Bu – Reminiscence
It was just another morning and another day for Waterstream Village. While adults went to work, Village Chief Bu would teach the children to read and write – of course, not without telling stories of Mu Yu, who had become the hero of a number of epics, such as “Mu Yu Versus the Three White Chicken Monsters” and “Mu Yu Chronicles – Raiding the Ocean Dragon’s Palace”, all of which were heroic epics about chivalry. Other picture books revolving around Mu Yu were all the rage among children, motivating them to improve. There were also nonsensical stories such as Mu Yu considering butchering a rooster that woke him every morning but decided just to stuff its mouth because he did not want Village Chief Bu to lose a friend.
Village Chief Bu was still as proud of Mu Yu as ever, insisting on telling a story of Mu Yu’s daily, especially his classic, “Mu Yu made it in the nick of time and engaged the immortal master in three hundred epic rounds.! It was so intense that the world was plunged into darkness! Like judges of good and evil, Mu Yu’s two flying swords emerged in a flash. With a single strike, sand and stones whipped into the air, thunder boomed and lightning flashed! With a single strike, the clouds immediately churned and the ground cracked. Mu Yu beat the immortal master from Raindrop Village to a pulp! Like a geyser, the immortal master’s blood mystified the sky, dying the sand scarlet…”
Even though Village Chief Bu told stories every day, he still could nott tell stories without leaving plot holes that the kids would point out. Though the story of an immortal master kneeling before him was the least believable one, that all changed on this day.
“Elder, please help us!”
To the surprise of all the villagers there, the middle-aged immortal master suddenly dropped to his knees, burying his head deep into the ground. The several hundred immortal masters behind him followed suit. “Elder, please help us!”
The village chief’s fan and jaw hit the ground. His mind completely blanked out. The only time an immortal master knelt before him was over a dozen years ago because Mu Yu served justice. Never in his wildest imagination did he ever dream several hundred immortal masters would kneel before him.
“Wh-what are you doing?”
“Elder, only you can deal with Mu Yu’s matter. Please come with us.” The middle-aged immortal master sincerely implored.
“All right, all right. Pl-please rise!”“Elder, please come with us.”
“Um, may I ask what happened to Mu Yu?”
“Elder, elemental demons have fooled Mu Yu. He has lost his mind and is now siding with them to rain violence down upon mankind. We cannot defeat him, which is why we would like to ask you to snap him out of it.”
“R-really?” Had it been someone else, they would have less likely been persuaded. Village Chief Bu, on the other hand, knew about Mu Yu’s wood control ability, thereby was more susceptible to the tall story. Still, he was not completely convinced yet as he knew Mu Yu was ranked on Ultimate Immortals Rankings.
“Yes. We heard you raised him and that he listens to you. That is why you are his only hope.”
“Wh-where is he now? Wh-what should I do?”
“This jade piece was created to protect you against the elemental demons’ brainwashing. You must hold onto it because Mu Yu will use the brainwashing ability on you.”
Village Chief Bu frantically held out both hands to accept the nephrite piece with, but the middle-aged man jerked his hand back, instructing, “You will notice some differences to yourself when this is in your possession. To speak more accurately, you might feel discomfort and something conflicting inside yourself, but you need to understand this is for your sake. Do not resist the energy inside this piece. If you resist, it loses its effect, understood?”
“Understood. I would do anything for Mu Yu.”
The man finally passed the nephrite piece to Village Chief Bu, who immediately felt energy from the piece plaster itself to him. He witnessed a formation blanket his body that grappled with the nephrite piece’s energy.
“You must trust the jade piece’s energy, Elder. You have the ability to suppress that which tries to destroy it.”
Village Chief Bu gradually forced the formation inside out, while the white energy of the jade piece seeped into his body, cutting off his link to the village. The village tried in vain to connect up to him due to something shoving it back out.
“Done.”
The man subtly lifted the corner of his lips for a split second. “We do not have much time left. Please pardon me.”
The man zipped behind Village Chief Bu and enveloped the elder in energy to take off.
“Immortal masters really did kneel down to Village Chief!” effused the kid who was first to regain awareness of his surroundings.
