Wuling Mountain is surrounded by mountains and rivers, rich in products and medicinal materials. Shenjia Village at the foot of the mountain is a medical village. Many villagers sell medicinal materials or practice medicine for generations.

Shen Mujiu's family is also one of them, but when he was seven years old, his parents were bitten by a poisonous snake and died when he was collecting medicine, and he lived in his uncle's house ever since.

He was gifted and intelligent since he was a child, loved reading, and was very keen on medical science and pharmacy. He was already a child prodigy praised by everyone in the village at the age of nine, so although he was dependent on others, his uncle treated him well.

In the autumn when he was 12 years old, Shen Mujiu went up the mountain to collect herbs with a medicine basket on his back. In the woods, he found a boy who was injured and fainted. The boy was a few years older than him. It fell, covered in blood and dust.

Shen Mujiu touched him and found that he was still breathing, so he helped him treat the wound and fed him herbs.

This boy was Jiang Chongguang, the 15-year-old young master of Wulevel Sect at the time.He sneaked out to play by himself, but unexpectedly encountered the attack of the enemy sect, he and his men ran away, were injured, and rolled from the hillside into the woods.

After Jiang Chongguang was rescued, he was attracted by the boy in front of him.He was lying on the grass under a maple tree, the wound on his shoulder had been bandaged, and the young man beside him was leaning against the tree trunk, against the afternoon light, his face could not be seen clearly.

I saw a book in his hand, it was a "Shan Hai Jing", the pages were very old, probably because of frequent reading.

The hands holding the book were slender and beautiful. Jiang Chongguang could imagine that it was these dexterous hands that healed his wound and saved his life.

"Who are you? Did you save me?"

Jiang Chongguang moved his body and wanted to sit up, but the boy noticed the movement and turned his head, "Do you want a drink?"

His voice was calm and clear, like jade stones colliding in a spring.A gust of autumn wind blows, and the swaying sunlight shines through the maple leaves, outlining a fair and beautiful face. The red maple leaves fall slowly, reflecting in those quiet black eyes.

Jiang Chongguang was stunned for a moment, "I want..."

The boy took out a water bag from the medicine basket and handed it to him.

Jiang Chongguang stood up pressing his painful shoulder, and hissed, "It hurts... help me up quickly."

He was pampered and self-willed since he was a child. He was used to bossing around at Wuji Gate and didn't know much about the world, but the young man didn't bother with him. He helped him up and sat leaning against the tree trunk to drink water.

Jiang Chongguang secretly looked at the boy's side face while drinking water.The boy ignored him and continued to read his book.

He is good-looking, speaks little, seems to like reading, and saved his life.He is different from the people I have met before, neither coaxing me, nor afraid of me, and even not very interested in me.

Jiang Chongguang was not reconciled, he said: "You haven't told me, what's your name? Where are you from?"

Shen Mujiu stared at his book without turning his head, and didn't even move his eyelashes, "Wuling, Shen Mujiu."

"Shen Mujiu..." Jiang Chongguang silently read his name, tugged at his sleeve, "My name is Jiang Chongguang, don't worry, you saved me, I will definitely repay you."

Shen Mujiu seemed to think he was noisy, so he closed the book and put it in the back basket, "It's as long as you are fine, I don't need your repayment."

Seeing that he was packing up and leaving, Jiang Chongguang grabbed him and was even more unwilling, "Don't leave, why don't you take me home? Our Promise Sect will definitely thank you very much. How much money do you want? As many books as you want!"

It seemed that the last sentence caught his attention, Shen Mujiu turned around, "Do you have a lot of books at home?"

When Jiang Chongguang saw his eyes staring at him, he was overjoyed, and raised his head and said, "Of course, if you follow me back, I can give you the entire library!"

Not long after, Mei Chong, the left guardian of the Promise Gate at that time, found Jiang Chongguang, and Mei Chong was naturally very grateful to Shen Mujiu for saving their young master, and took him away with him.

They got off Wuling Mountain, boarded a boat at the pier near the river, and took the boat to Wujimen.

The general base of Wuji Gate is on the island in Jiangxin.

The boat passed along the river, Shen Mujiu sat on the deck, he could see Wuling Mountain getting farther and farther away, and the Shenjia Village below the mountain was even smaller.

It was the first time for him to leave Wuling, and it was also the first time for him to take such a big and beautiful boat.

The world in Shenjia Village is small, and every day he spends collecting medicines and making medicines. But besides studying medicine, he actually wants to learn more. He likes to read books and draw pictures. He hopes to take part in scientific examinations one day.

Sitting beside Shen Mujiu, Jiang Chongguang noticed that his eyes had become strange and his mood was getting better and better, so he asked his servants to bring fruits and snacks to Shen Mujiu to eat.

"Uncle Mei, I want to hear you play the piano."

"Hey, it's rare that the young master is so elegant." Mei Chong smiled, ordered someone to set up the piano case, and sat down to play the piano.

He is very young and handsome. When playing the piano, the river wind blows his long hair and robe, which is very elegant.

The sound of the piano is melodious, drifting and echoing on the boat on the river with the wind.

Shen Mujiu listened carefully, staring at the strings between Mei Chong's fingers, his beautiful black eyes were radiant.

Seeing his expression, Jiang Chongguang was even happier, and said like offering a treasure: "Shen Mujiu, doesn't Uncle Mei play the piano very well?"

Shen Mujiu listened for a while, then turned to look at him, "I want to learn this, can I?"

Stared at by those eyes, Jiang Chongguang's heart became soft and sweet, how could he refuse, "Uncle Mei, he wants to learn the piano, can you teach him?"

Mei Chong smiled, "There's nothing wrong with that. He has long fingers, which are very suitable for learning the piano."

This child saved his young master, and he is so good-looking, and he is very smart at first glance.Mei Chong also liked him very much, and immediately taught him how to play the piano and the rhythm.

Originally, he was just teaching casually, but the result was beyond Mei Chong's expectations. After two hours of returning to the Wuji Gate, Shen Mujiu had already learned the basic fingering and rhythm, and was able to play a piece of music.

The more Mei Chong looked at him, the more he liked him, "You are so smart and talented, you are really a rare talent. If you are willing, I really want to take you as an apprentice."

Jiang Chongguang was more excited than him. He liked this new partner very much. If only he could be with him all the time, he pulled Shen Mujiu's sleeve, "Shen Mujiu, you should worship Uncle Mei as your teacher. He is the number one in the world." He is a luthier, and his martial arts are also high, you can learn a lot from him."

Shen Mujiu was not unimpressed, so he nodded.

In this way, he originally just wanted to follow Jiang Chongguang to the Wuji Gate to pick up books, but in the end he worshiped the Left Protector of the Wuji Gate as his teacher and became Jiang Chongguang's junior.

At that time, he was not deeply involved in the world, and he didn't understand what kind of sect the Promise Sect was.He doesn't even know what the Jianghu evil faction is.

He just felt that the Promise Gate on the island was like a huge imperial city, with extraordinary grandeur.

He saw the library that Jiang Chongguang said, there were several floors of books in it, and he could read as many as he wanted.

Mei Chong liked Shen Mujiu very much, and taught him piano and martial arts.Jiang Chongguang has always been playful, but because of Shen Mujiu's company, he also reads books and learns martial arts.

Seeing that his son has followed Shen Mujiu to become motivated and stopped running out secretly, the door owner is naturally willing to keep Shen Mujiu.

Shen Mujiu liked learning since he was a child. He was thirsty for knowledge when he was studying medicine in Shenjia Village. Now that he has seen the Wuji Gate and the bigger world, he knows that he was blinded by the vast amount of knowledge before. He feels that he needs to learn more to be able to Realize your ideals.

He officially became a disciple of Wuji Sect, and sent someone to pass a letter to his uncle, telling them that he had gone out to study art, and he would go back to visit them during the Spring Festival.
