Gu Linshan arrived at Qingmu Temple with his master, and began his career as a Taoist priest as a disciple of Yimu.Every morning, he climbed to the top of Xiaoqing Mountain to collect the freshest dew for his master to make tea.

Xiaoqingshan towers into the clouds, with cliffs everywhere between the peaks, jagged rocks and surrounded by clouds and mist.Even for Gu Linshan, it is very difficult to climb to the top of Xiaoqing Mountain.Every day, he can only carefully climb the rocks to the top of the mountain. His body is scratched by the rocks in many places, and it often takes half a day to go back and forth.

But even so, he persevered. Since then, 360 days a year, the spring breeze turned into rain, the scorching sun, the flying frost and white snow, day after day, eight years passed by in a hurry, and the time passed by.

In the early morning of this day, the sun rose slightly in the sky, and half of it was hidden behind the mountains.The white mist in the small green hills has not dissipated, and the sound of the early bird chirping echoes in the forest.In the depths of the mountain forest, a figure is dexterously shuttling among the mountains, like walking on flat ground.

That was Gu Linshan, who was 19 years old. His figure was slender and thin, but not thin, his skin was slightly wheat-colored, his eyebrows were drawn into his temples, his nose was straight, his eyes were like ink, but they were clear and translucent.With a handsome face and an extraordinary figure, he was dressed in a simple Taoist robe, but it also gave him the feeling of being an immortal.

At this moment, he was holding a wooden gourd in his hand, and was rushing towards the top of the mountain. Xiaoqingshan also changed from being unattainable at the beginning, to the present where he can come and go freely.Soon, he came to a cliff.

Going out from the depths of the forest covered by flowers and trees, to the waist of the cliff, there is just a feeling of bright willows and bright flowers.This place is as high as a cloud, with a wide view, a panoramic view of a hundred miles around, the river is like a ribbon, and the attic is like an ant.Facing the rising sun, the clouds seem to spread under your feet. It can be described as a magnificent scene in the world, just like a fairyland.

With one leap, Gu Linshan jumped onto the cliff, and after a few jumps, he ran between the cliffs.Suddenly, there was an attack from all directions, but he didn't panic, but dodged a few times very flexibly.

Looking aside, there are many spirit monkeys parked on the trees, some of them are still in the parabolic movement.At this time, the leader monkey threw another thing at Gu Linshan.This time, Gu Linshan did not avoid it, but took it generously. He looked at the apple in his hand, it was bright red and round.

He took a bite, the apple was very sweet and juicy, stimulating his taste buds.He waved to the spirit monkey and said loudly with a smile, "Thank you."

The spirit monkey flicked its tail triumphantly, and then left with a group of brothers.

When Gu Linshan first came to Xiaoqingshan, his master once told him that the spirit monkeys on the mountain are the most stubborn and unruly, and he knocked down the apple of the spirit monkey on the first day. It's not going to be easy.

When he first lived on the mountain, he suffered a lot because of these spirit monkeys, and was often very embarrassed by them.But with the passage of time, Gu Linshan's cultivation has become more and more advanced, and he has already grasped the tricks of the monkey.Coming and going, I have never been fooled by their tricks again. After so many years, I have never known each other.

Gu Linshan gnawed on the apple and continued up the mountain, and soon reached the top of the mountain.He put the small gourd under the leaves to receive the freshest dew, the mountain wind brought coolness, and the sun had fully risen.

Gu Linshan stood up, walked to the edge of the mountain, and looked to the west.The green hills outside the mountains are overlapping and stretching for thousands of miles.He looked into the distance, wondering whether behind the mountains in the distance would be the Muliang Mountain that was gradually waking up.

Eight years have passed, and the world has changed, but Mu Liangshan is still the same when he wakes up.The plants and trees he missed, and everyone he missed, were the same as before.

Whether it is the Ascan in his eyes or the him in Ascan's memory, it will not change with time. This is probably the only thing Gu Linshan feels lucky about.

Looking away, Gu Linshan picked up the full gourd, pinned it to his waist, and walked down the mountain road.

After walking for about half an hour, I arrived at Qingmu Temple.In the view, Daoist Kazuki is sitting alone in the pavilion under the pine tree, playing chess alone.As soon as he saw Gu Linshan, he smiled and waved: "Disciple, come, let's play the next round with the teacher."

Gu Linshan walked over as promised, sat down opposite Yimu, and began to collect the scattered chess pieces.After the chess pieces were sorted, the two began to play chess.Gu Linshan's chess skills were originally taught by Yimu, and Yimu pays attention to advancing and retreating in a certain way, not rushing, calm and calm.Gu Linshan obviously doesn't have that much patience and talent when it comes to chess skills. He has more than enough offense but not enough defense. Therefore, he has never defeated his master for so many years.

But today, Daoist Yimu obviously didn't want to play the chess, so he quickly took back the chess piece in his hand and said: "Disciple, I lost as a teacher."

"Master..."

"Teacher, how many years have you been cultivating in this small green mountain?"

"It's been eight years since I returned to Master."

"Haha, that's right, that's right." Daoist Kazuki smiled and stroked his beard, and said, "As a teacher, I have already seen your little thoughts, haha, go, go, pack up and go down the mountain go."

After Gu Linshan heard this, he was very anxious, thinking that the master was driving him down the mountain, and anxiously said: "Master, a teacher for a day, a father for life, you will always be my master!"

Daoist Yimu rolled his eyes, knocked him on the head hard, and said: "Nonsense, old man, I am only your apprentice, not your master, who is your master? People from the imperial city came here not long ago, and as a teacher You have to go to the imperial capital to lie down. It happens to be time for you to go down the mountain, so go west."

"Then master, when will you come back?"

"Haha, it won't take long. However, I have to give you a task when you go down the mountain this time." Yimu smiled.

Gu Linshan asked: "What is the mission?"

"Do you still remember the woman who came to the temple the day before yesterday?"

"Remember. The woman looked flustered. Could it be that she has something to ask for?"

"Well, that's right." Yimu nodded and said: "The woman is a disciple of Maple Leaf Villa, and the owner of Maple Leaf Villa is a leader in the righteous way of martial arts. I am afraid that something happened in Hongfeng City this time, so they have to come to ask for help. For me. You went west to Muliang Mountain, and you went to Hongfeng City just on the way, and I can’t go to Hongfeng City when I go to the imperial capital this time, so I will let you go there as a teacher, okay?”

Gu Linshan nodded in response: "Yes, Master."

"Okay, after you arrive in Hongfeng City, you only need to arrive at Zuixiang Building at noon, and you will be able to meet that woman, and she will tell you everything."

"Okay, disciple understands."

"In that case, you can go down the mountain." Daoist Yimu stroked his always messy beard, and with a wave of his sleeve, all the chess pieces on the stone table returned to the board.He picked up a chess piece with two fingers, and started to play chess by himself.

Gu Linshan looked at the master who had stopped talking, and went back to the room as he said. After packing up the things, he picked up the package and walked out.

He looked at the master who was still playing chess alone in the pavilion, knelt down and kowtowed three times, and said, "Master, my disciple has gone down the mountain. I will play chess with you after my disciple returns."

Kazuki just smiled and waved his sleeves lightly, and Gu Linshan was helped up by a force.He didn't stay any longer, turned around, and walked down the mountain.

Eight years ago, he left Muliang Mountain, left Ascan, and followed his master all the way to this small green mountain.The two masters and apprentices spent eight years together as companions.

Eight years later, he left Xiaoqingshan and his master, and will set off alone, returning to Muliang Mountain, and returning to Asan's side.

Parting seems to be very common in Gu Linshan's body. There are some partings where heaven and man are separated forever and never see each other again; but there is another kind of parting that will eventually usher in a day of reunion.

Gu Linshan quickly went down the mountain. There were few people at the foot of the mountain. He walked along the road for a long time and finally arrived at a small village. He hired a simple carriage with money and drove forward.

After walking for about three days and three nights, Gu Linshan finally arrived in Hongfeng City.He stood outside Hongfeng City, looking into the city.I saw that Red Maple City was still crowded with people, and among them were many martial artists with many weapons.There are officers and soldiers guarding the gate of the city, performing routine inspections.No matter how you look at it, it doesn't look like any major event happened in this Red Maple City.

Gu Linshan picked up the package and walked into the city.Red Maple City is very prosperous, and maple trees are planted everywhere in the city. It is early autumn, and the maple leaves are starting to turn red. After living in the mountains for a long time, I suddenly feel the prosperity of this world, and my mood gradually becomes more relaxed.

He looked up at the sky, and it was almost noon, so he asked all the way and walked to Zuixiang Tower.After ordering a cup of tea, he sat in the corner of the hall, waiting for the woman to arrive.

The restaurant is indeed a good place to inquire about news. While waiting quietly, Gu Linshan heard some news about Hongfeng City.

"Oh, the girl Qingqing in Xiangmanyuan, she is really talented, but it's a pity that she was a good person with a poor face, and she just disappeared like this."

"Oh, yes, I heard that he committed suicide. Well, why can't I think about it."

"That's not necessarily the case. In the Xiangman Garden, this is not the only one who died, and how he died may be unknown."

"How do you say this? Could it be...he killed him?"

"I'm not sure, but it's definitely not easy. Do you remember Miss Yinyin?"

"Of course, Miss Yinyin has both talents and talents, and she has beautiful hands. It's a pity that she still died in the end. Didn't she die from a serious illness?"

"Tch, do you even believe this? I have a cousin who works in the county government. He has been to the scene of the Yinyin girl incident. The blood spread all over the floor, and the whole floor was completely red."

"What? Then how come no one knows?"

"I don't know why, I was suppressed, everything was sealed, you must not say it, maybe you will lose your life by then."

"No, no, no, no, never say anything."

"Yes, there are more..."

At this moment, there were few people in the restaurant, and at the corner two tables away from Gu Linshan, there were a few young men in short shirts sitting, talking about something quietly.Normal people's hearing must not be able to hear clearly, but Gu Linshan can hear very clearly.

It seems that the incident in Hongfeng City may be related to the deaths of several girls in Xiangman Garden.It's just that I don't know what happened and where this Xiangmanyuan is.

Just as Gu Linshan was meditating, a woman came in from the door. She looked around, and soon saw Gu Linshan sitting alone in the corner.She bent her lips and smiled, then walked up to Gu Linshan, opened her mouth lightly, and said:

"Brother Linshan."

After hearing this call, Gu Linshan looked up.The woman in the red dress in front of him was like a fire, and a familiar face was imprinted in his eyes, which made him suddenly feel in a trance...

Eight years is enough for a teenager to grow into a man of indomitable spirit. Naturally, it can also make a sick little girl grow into a slim girl.
