Rebirth of the Return of Chu

Mu Chu had been waiting from the Chinese New Year to the Lantern Festival, but there was still no news from Qin Yuanyi. He had been worried and asked Shi Feng several times, but Shi Feng was always evasive. Mu Chu was worried every day. He wrote many letters to Shi Feng and sent them to him, but there was still no reply.

The days went by, nothing happened, and the killer never came again. Mu Chu always believed that Qin Yuanyi would come back in the spring.

By the time they waited, the snow on the mountain had melted, the grass behind the mountain had sprouted, and Mu Chu's leg injury had healed, but he still hadn't shown up.

Finally, Gu Qing removed the wooden board on her legs and told her that the master asked her to become his disciple.

Mu Chu felt that he should find something to do, otherwise he would go crazy if he kept waiting, so he followed Gu Qing to Peach Blossom Valley. On the way down the mountain, he found that it was a very easy road to walk on.

After walking a long way down with Xiao Tao and Taxue, Mu Chu asked, "Mr. Gu, isn't there only one way to the top of the mountain? Why don't you take this easy way?"

Gu Qing smiled, "This is the way to Peach Blossom Valley, but Peach Blossom Valley is deep in Kongling Mountain, surrounded by poisonous miasma on all sides. No one can get in alive. This is the only way, so no one can get into Peach Blossom Valley from anywhere else."

"I understand. So to go to Peach Blossom Valley, you need to go to the top of the mountain before you can go down." Mu Chu nodded.

Then he asked, "Where do the Baiyan Manor owners live?"

Gu Qing looked puzzled, "You don't know? Look behind you."

Mu Chu followed the direction Gu Qing pointed and was instantly shocked speechless by the scene before him. On the towering cloud peak, the steep cliffs suddenly glowed. Looking from the foot of the mountain, the forest at the foot of the Floating Cloud Pavilion where they lived had dissipated the clouds and mist, and the whole mountain was green, shading the ancient buildings with exquisite carved eaves, which were looming. It was a steep cliff and there was no way to go up.

"Mr. Gu, where is it?"

"That is the real Floating Cloud Pavilion. There are very few angles that allow people to see its entirety. If someone doesn't know the way, it will be like a cliff and impossible to reach."

"So the place we live in is fake?" Xiao Tao couldn't help but ask.

"That's right. It's too dangerous down there and we were afraid you wouldn't be able to get used to it. The upstairs was originally just a lookout. When we got the news that you were coming, the young master ordered people to rebuild it."

"No wonder I thought it was so simple. I thought my uncle was frugal." Mu Chu came back to his senses and joked.

As they were talking, they arrived at Peach Blossom Valley. The Peach Blossom Valley was a little different from the TV dramas. There were no large tracts of peach blossom forests. The yard of Peach Blossom Valley was also extremely simple. The large yard was surrounded by a fence and was full of herbs drying in the sun. Surprisingly, there were also many small animals. Several medicine boys were busy working, and the scene was peaceful, giving people the illusion of being in a paradise.

After entering the middle room, Gu Qing called out, "Master, I brought Chu'er here to become your disciple."

There was no movement for a while. After a while, Gu Jialeng came in with a green snake in his hand. Xiao Tao took a few steps back in fear. Although Mu Chu was also scared, he pretended to be calm and saluted, saying, "Master, I am here to become your disciple."

Gu Jia Leng looked at her and said, "Get up, from now on you can just call me Master, Gu Qing is your senior brother, let him take you out to play."

Mu Chu was a little confused, thinking, shouldn't I offer tea and kowtow? This master is really different, so he prepared to kowtow.

Gu Qing stopped her, and probably saw her concerns and whispered, "Master doesn't like red tape. Let's go and get familiar with the environment first."

Mu Chu still knelt down and kowtowed: "Yes, Master, I will study hard."

Gu Jialeng waved his hand and said, "Go ahead."

Mu Chu followed Gu Qing around Taohua Valley and then went to Gu Jia Leng: "Master, my brother and I have already familiarized ourselves with the environment. Where should I start?"

"Start with physical exercise. Go to the mountains with your brother to collect herbs every day, and practice martial arts at night. My apprentice needs to be in good health." Gu Jialeng glanced at her and continued to play with the little snake in his hand.

"Yes, Master, I have another question. Can I continue to live in the mountain? Come down by myself every day." Mu Chu tried to ask.

"It's up to you. Just complete the assigned tasks every day. That's all for today. Go back and go collect herbs with your brother tomorrow."

"Yes, Master." Mu Chu came out happily and prepared to go back. Gu Qing was worried about him and insisted on seeing her off. Mu Chu was a little scared and did not refuse.

After arriving home, the first thing Mu Chu did was to write a letter to Gu Yuanyi to tell him the good news.
