Chapter 42: Hospitality in Peach Blossom Valley

In fact, that immortal gas is what later generations called natural gas, but in the Song Dynasty, no one could explain this underground heat, and they felt extremely mysterious, and naturally said that the unknown normal things were the effect of the gods and immortals. It is no wonder that peach blossoms bloom in late autumn, and in such an environment, warm as spring, no matter what kind of flower, as long as there are seeds to sow, it may bloom.

Yuqing was walking and watching, enjoying the magic of this Peach Blossom Valley at will, but Gongsun Wanrong had already taken him to a fine house called "Broken Heart House", and a woman named Aunt Lan received him.

Yuqing Daoist always felt that this Peach Blossom Valley was too strange, "Broken Intestine Nunnery", "Dugu Xuan", "Broken Heart House", the names of these retreats all made people feel sad and moving. This is because he doesn't know that everyone in Peach Blossom Valley is a sad story.

Aunt Lan is Mu Lan, after Yang Yaoming betrayed her childhood sweetheart and married Jiang Xia and left the Snow Mountain, she led Jinzhentang to open two embroidery villages in Yizhou and Tanzhou. In Yizhou, Jincheng embroidery village was opened, and the Shu embroidery business was almost monopolized. In Xiaoxiang Embroidery Village in Tanzhou, it almost monopolized the Hunan embroidery business. Because they did not participate in any martial arts disputes, the world did not know that these two embroidery villages were the once famous Snow Mountain School Golden Needle Hall. Even Yang Hanfeng inquired about the whereabouts of the Golden Needle Hall everywhere, mainly looking for Mu Lan's traces, but he didn't expect it to turn into an embroidery village, and Mu Lan came to the Peach Blossom Secret Realm.

The Mu family's flying needle acupoint technique originated from the Peach Blossom Valley, and her mother also married Jin Lan with the Minshan Rakshasa when she was alive, so the Golden Needle Hall did not come out of the secret residence, so she returned to the Peach Blossom Valley, just like returning to her mother's home.

Mu Lan's return to Peach Blossom Valley is like a princess returning to China, her status is very special, and she is in charge of some key points.

"Dao Changhe's visit to Peach Blossom Valley is also providential. Mu Lan said: "Since Aunt Sang took charge of this valley, in the past few decades, no man has entered the valley. ”

Yuqing was surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect that this was a woman's world, and his abruptness might cause the people in the valley to be uneasy, so he hurriedly apologized: "In this way, I am a person of pure cultivation, and I am curious today, and I have strayed into the country of my daughter, which is really a sin." ”

Mu Lan smiled and said, "The Taoist doesn't have to blame himself, everything has its own edge. ”

At this time, Gongsun Wanrong finally found an opportunity and said: "Aunt Lan, Grandma Sang said that it was a rare guest in Emei, and she wanted to be entertained for three months. ”

Mu Lan was stunned when she heard this, hesitated for a moment, or invited Yuqingyan into the house, took a seat and had a cup of tea, and then stopped entertaining before returning to the truth: "Does the Taoist know the details of the Emei incident?"

"The matter is being investigated, and there are no eyebrows yet. Yuqing replied matter-of-factly, with a look on his face.

Mu Lan said: "The death of Tan Xuan's head must have died from Yuji's tricks. Although Peach Blossom Valley is not very conclusive, it all happened after Yuji violated the Emei Gate Rules. ”

Yuqing felt that something was wrong, and wanted to ask clearly: "What rules did Yuji break?"

Mu Lan didn't answer immediately, she pulled Gongsun Wanrong and gently stroked the top of her head, and her face was gradually covered with a layer of frost: "Yuji raped a woman from a good family and forced people to die, this child is the daughter of the bitter master." The villagers collectively repaired a book, wanting Master Tan to punish the villain. As soon as I didn't want to write the letter, as soon as I went up the mountain, Master Tan fell ill and died, and the cave in the back mountain where you and the other four of you practiced in retreat was also tightly closed and has not been opened so far. ”

"I see!" Yuqing sighed and said sadly: "The mountain gate is unfortunate, out of this villain, we will do our best to clean up the portal and avenge the teacher!" Yuqing Daoist said, his emotions became excited.

When it came to her mother, Gongsun Wanrong also burst into tears, not as good as before.

Mu Lan bowed her head and said: "I heard that I have been practicing the Nine Heavens Xuangong for a long time, and I think I have achieved something, can I take a look?"

Yuqing understood in his heart that probably Peach Blossom Valley was not sure whether he was really Yuqing, and wanted to use the Nine Heavens Xuangong to verify it, so he said: "The poor Dao is ugly." Striding out of the "Broken Heart House", standing in an open space, with both palms flat chest, turning back and forth, the peach tree a few zhang away shook gently, and a puff of peach blossoms flew like rain, swirled into a flying dragon, condensed into a group, and rolled around in the long palm wind of Yuqing Road. Yuqing Dao exhaled loudly, and the flower balls flew up in the air and scattered on the spot.

If it is only such a trick, it can be seen everywhere in the martial arts, it is not surprising, it is strange that thousands of flowers are falling slowly, the height is the same, the falling speed is even, and it is neatly landed at the same time.

"Sure enough, it's the Nine Heavens Xuangong!" Mu Lan cheered, invited Yuqing to enter the "Broken Heart House" retreat, patted the top of Gongsun Wanrong's head and said: "We have taken Rongrong into the valley, and we have begun to focus on cultivation, and when the sword is pointed at Emei in the future, we will be able to help the four elders." ”

Mu Lan didn't say much, went into the left and right wings to clean up for a long time, took out her own bed, and asked Gongsun Wanrong to move to Aunt Xue's "Broken Intestine Nunnery". Don't look at Gongsun Wanrong's young age, carrying a lot of things, she walked as fast as an adult, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Mu Lan turned to Yuqing and said, "The Taoist only needs to settle here for three months, and after three months, someone will take you out of the valley." ”

After a pause, she continued, "Every day, someone will bring it on time. When the Taoist chief was bored, there were some books in the left wing, and those with locked bookcases were not allowed to be moved, and those that were not locked could be accessed. After speaking, he didn't care how Yuqing reacted, and went on his own, leaving Yuqing confused: This is the "good hospitality" of Peach Blossom Valley?

The conversation after the first meeting of Gongsun Wanrong in the valley has made him feel that there is a lot of crisis in the valley, and the two adults he saw can treat him so kindly, which has been much surprising to him, and it is better to have a cold reception than a crisis, as long as it is really as Mu Lan said, someone will send him out of the valley after three months, where else will he ask for?

Yuqing Daoist Bai Bai Nai walked into the left wing study. When you enter the room, you will know where the "good student hospitality" is.

There was only one unlocked bookcase, and there were no more than a few dozen volumes inside. Yuqing picked up a few volumes and looked at them, but they were historical books such as "Spring and Autumn", "Chinese", and "Book of Han", allowing him to look at these toys without emotion.

I flipped through it again, and turned out a copy of "Public Opinion of the Tang Dynasty", which can be taken a look, familiar with the geography of the previous dynasty, and also familiar with the rivers and mountains of the current dynasty, so I am interested.

Flipping down again, a paper thread-bound book made his heart tremble, and the cover reads "Emei Thirty-six Stunt Empty Door Flaws and Attack Methods". This is a fateful book related to the survival of this sect, and Yuqing is impatient to read it.

The more Yuqing looked, the more he felt the horror of Peach Blossom Valley, and from this volume of the book, it could be completely seen how vulnerable the Emei faction was compared to Peach Blossom Valley, and it was easy for them to destroy the Emei faction. And looking around the study, there are many bookcases, are those cabinets still containing books like these for other sects? It's terrifying!

But Daoist Yuqing had to admit that the 138 flaws listed in the book for his martial arts were to the point, and all of them hit the nail on the head. Looking at the method of attacking and cracking again, it is really able to take the lead, and the moves are all from the stars. By the time he finished reading the entire book, the cold sweat on Yuqing's back had already soaked through his shirt, and the fear in his heart was indescribable. Dignified Emei, the number one faction in the southwest martial arts, in the face of such martial arts, it is like a local chicken and a dog, and there is no room for resistance at all.

Yuqing pondered carefully, thinking of the suspicious violent death of the master in charge, the escape from death in the cliff of the stone cave in the back mountain, and the jade girl who stole the position of the head of Emei, and began to comprehend the voice of Aunt Minshan Rakshasa Sang "Emei is a rare guest, and the good life is entertained for three months".

Yuqing Dao Chang's heart trembled: They have the strength to destroy Emei, but they have no intention of destroying Emei, what do they mean by intentionally letting me see this? Yes, they are here to familiarize me with the weaknesses of my martial arts, and to master the method of attacking and cracking so that I can deal with Yuji. Once he figured it out, not only did he not find this book terrifying, but he felt that it was a treasure that could be found.

Someone delivers food every day, the valley is warm, and I don't know how the seasons change. Since entering the valley, Yuqing has been holding the volume of "Emei's Thirty-six Stunt Empty Door Flaws and Attack Methods" all day long, and before he knew it, he had finished learning the last trick. But he didn't feel happy, because what he practiced was specific to his own martial arts, and he might not be good at other martial arts. And there are as many as one hundred and thirty-eight flaws in this martial arts, and how many disciples will suffer when the enemy goes into battle!

"The Taoist has worked hard for days. Mu Lan appeared at the right time, and she said to Yuqing very calmly: "Dao Elder doesn't have to worry about your faction, Peach Blossom Valley only kills people with wolf hearts and dog lungs, and will not hinder the Emei faction." Aunt Sang instructed that the four Dao Masters of Emei did not need to be in a hurry to clean up the portal, but they could first live in Longhe Mountain and make some research and improvement on the martial arts of your sect. Most of the disciples of the four Taoist masters were not tolerated by Yuji and others, and many of them were expelled from the mountain gate. Most of those who stayed in the mountains were unbearable and were left behind. The foundation of the jade has been solidified, and the four Taoist masters must not be in a hurry, and they must take time to gather the disciples, secretly accumulate strength, and first cause the momentum of forcing the palace outside the mountain, and slowly figure it out. ”

"Thank you Sang Shi Lord, Lan Shi Lord!" Yuqing Dao Chang didn't know Mu Lan's surname Mu, and thought that his surname was Lan, so he was called Lan Shizhu. His lips moved, and he wanted to say something, but he stopped talking. He secretly admired this Peach Blossom Valley in his heart, and Mu Lan's words were exactly what he was thinking in his heart. And from that study, there is a mystery in this Peach Blossom Valley, it must be a great organization, there must be a group of martial arts masters, if you want to dominate the martial arts, it should not be difficult. In those bookcases, there must be deadly martial arts that suppress other sects.

Sure enough, Mu Lan spoke: "What does Elder Yuqing want to say?" Yuqing shook his head and said softly, "It's okay not to say it." Mu Lan smiled and said some true feelings: "I know if the Taoist chief doesn't say it." She glanced at the left wing room and continued: "The Taoist chief is a sincere gentleman and is not greedy. A man who is not greedy is a good man, and Peach Blossom Valley respects such a man. She suddenly drooped her eyelids, and sighed in a low voice: "The enemies of Peach Blossom Valley are all greedy men; Whoever Peach Blossom Valley wants to die, who will definitely not live. ”

Although Daoist Yuqing felt shocked when he heard this, he didn't feel sudden, and from what he had seen and felt in the past few months, he had every reason to believe that this was the truth. Without allowing him to think too much, Mu Lan continued: "Some greedy men are still alive now, but they won't live long, including the jade of your faction, the Taoist chief just won't make a move, and Peach Blossom Valley is also cultivating people to kill him." ”

Daoist Yuqing asked a little puzzled: "With Guigu's strength, wouldn't it be easy to kill a jade ji?"

"It is true that there is no one in Peach Blossom Valley who cannot be killed. Mu Lan said solemnly: "It is precisely because the people of Peach Blossom Valley are all equipped with peerless martial arts that they can't act with killing intent. Peach Blossom Valley has the rules of Peach Blossom Valley, and all the people he kills are his enemies of life and death, and they all have the reason for his killing and the way to die. If it is not a family vendetta, murder can only be done in two situations: one is entrusted by the victim on his deathbed, and the other is that the bad man who has committed murder and evil is a good martial artist. If you kill someone without a reason, you will be severely punished by Gu Gui!"

Yuqing was shocked when she heard this, and asked again, "Are all women in Peach Blossom Valley?"

Mu Lan said in a deep voice: "Yes, they are all bitter and hateful women. In this world, women are a vulnerable group, and they are always bullied by those greedy and domineering men, so the peach blossoms come out of the valley and only kill men, not women. Speaking of this, she stared at Yuqing and said, "Fortunately, the Taoist is not greedy. In the past two or three months, you have not opened the locked bookcase without authorization, nor have you deliberately spied on the secrets of Peach Blossom Valley. Otherwise, you won't be able to get out of Peach Blossom Valley. ”
