Two days later, everyone arrived in the Immortal Valley.
Immortal Valley belongs to the junction of the Three Kingdoms. Since ancient times, the borders between countries have been either natural barriers and great rivers, or insurmountable mountains.
Immortal Valley is located on the border of the Three Kingdoms, so it is extremely dangerous.
Before reaching the outside of the valley, there are only clouds, mountains and fog, and the front is so white that it is difficult to see the way ahead.
The horses under the seats were all carefully selected good horses. Seeing this situation, they retreated and did not dare to move forward. Yuehu stepped out of the carriage, put two fingers in his mouth and whistled, and saw movement in the cloud and mist.
"what is that?"
There were black shadows flying around in the sky, and the sound of huge wings fluttering was startling. Yuehu smiled and said, "It's been raining heavily these past few days, and the clouds and mists have been gathering together. Fortunately, there are cranes that recognize the way in the Immortal Valley. They heard the whistle The sound will come and show us the way."
It turned out to be a crane.
Everyone was relieved a lot, and they saw a pair of white-winged cranes circling down, flying back and forth among the horses in the team.
Strange to say, as soon as they flew like this, the restless horses gradually calmed down, as if they had received some comfort.
Yin Jiyu was amazed and asked Yufu, "Could it be that the cranes in Immortal Valley can also speak Ma language?"
"Aww!"
Just as they were talking, Lianzhu and Lianbi's chubby heads emerged from the carriage behind them, barking at the cranes in the sky.
Yu Fu said helplessly: "Perhaps Fat Jiu thought Brother He could not only speak horse language, but also dog language."
Fat Five seemed to know that the pair of cranes were nothing extraordinary, so he huddled behind Fat Jiu and did not dare to make a sound. The cranes circled on their carriage for a while, and then flew away in disdain.
Lianbi quickly covered Fat Jiu's mouth, "Okay, okay, don't make mistakes."
How could Fat Jiu understand what it means to be unruly, and he was still sobbing softly after being covered by Lianbi.
Yuehu couldn't help laughing, and waved his hand behind him, "Okay, everyone, follow the direction led by Brother He, and you will be in Immortal Valley soon!"
The team continued to head towards the Immortal Valley. People looked at the towering peaks in the clouds and heard the gurgling water but could not see the river, as if they were in a fairyland.
The fatigue from the long journey was bathed in the milky white mist, and suddenly disappeared, leaving only surprise and admiration.
I don't know how far I walked, the sound of cranes called Po Yuntian, a high stone mountain gate appeared in front of my eyes, and I could vaguely see the colorful flowers inside, peaches and plums in full bloom.
The world is full of fragrance in April, and the peach blossoms in the mountain temple begin to bloom.
Now it is July, and the flowers in the Immortal Valley are not withered, which makes people amazed.
Yuehu rode his horse in front, leading the crowd into the mountain gate, bypassing the peach and plum blossom forest with strange footwork, passing through the strange rocks, and only then saw several white-clothed children respectfully greet them.
"Elder Sister, Younger Sister, Master has already left the customs and is waiting for you on the cloud cliff. You are guests from afar, please-"
The little boy saluted Gu Huaijiang and the others behind them, and led everyone to go inside.
Yuehu asked as he walked, "When did Master leave the customs?"
The older boy replied: "This morning, I heard the two He brothers screaming. We didn't know what happened, so we saw Master's retreat clothes hanging on the cloud cliff. I think Master knew you were coming back, so he left the retreat early. gone."
In the past, when there was nothing to do, Xunchi retreated for at least one and a half years, and as many as three to five years.
Yufu brought Gu Huaijiang and the others here this time, although he hoped that Xunchi could heal Gu Hanmo's arm injury, but he didn't expect to be able to catch up with Xunchi to leave the customs.
Thinking that he deliberately left the customs early for himself, Yu Fu was moved, "Elder Sister, you take everyone to resettle first, and I will come as soon as I see Master."
Gu Huaijiang said: "Let's go to see the God of Medicine together. When he came to Dongling, he told us to take good care of you. We failed to do so. We should go to him to apologize."
He has always been respectful to Xunchi, and since Xunchi is many generations older than him, such respect is also due.
Yu Fu thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, then I will take you there."
The boy took his entourage down and resettled them. The houses had been tidied up long ago. Although the Immortal Valley was not rich, it was a big place, so it was no problem to house them.
Yufu led Gu Huaijiang and the others to the depths of the valley, and saw a bird's nest-like thing stuck to the top of the cliff on a high cliff. When he got closer, he found that it was not a bird's nest, but a house.
I couldn't see clearly from a distance before, but after looking at it this way, I found that the house was somewhat similar to the buildings in Dongling Water Village, with the same black tiles and white walls.
Gu Shubai and others couldn't help being surprised, Yu Fu smiled and said: "Master likes to travel around the world, and when he sees the architectural style he likes, he will bring back drawings, and then change his residence into the same style. Seeing that Master has modified it many times, I don’t know how long this modification can last before being tired of by Master.”
Gu Xiang put up a pergola to look at the sky, "It looks good, but it looks like a heavenly palace, how do we go up there?"
They don't have a pair of wings like Brother He, and there isn't even a climbing vine on the stone wall, so they can't go up to such a high place even with light work.
Gu Yidao: "I finally understand why the people in Immortal Valley have to practice such good skills. If they want to see the God of Medicine, they must be able to fly!"
He looked at Yufu suspiciously, Yufu was stared at by him, his whole body was not right, "Sixth brother, what do you think I am doing?"
Gu Yi rested his chin and thought: "Xiao Yufu, you don't know any lightness kung fu, how did you get up there?"
"Master took me up there."
Yu Fu looked at Gu Yi with a natural face, Gu Yi was choked up and speechless.
How could he have forgotten that Yufu is Xunchi's most beloved disciple, so why does he still fly by himself? I'm afraid that a lot of senior brothers and sisters are willing to take her up if they wave their hands.
"You all don't come up, a lot of people carefully trampled my house down!"
Everyone was thinking about how to go up, when Xunchi's angry shout came from the air, and a white shadow flashed in front of him, he was already standing in front of everyone.
Gu Yi was caught off guard for a moment and almost fell to the ground in fright.
Xun Chi snorted softly, as if he thought he was so rare, his eyes immediately turned to Yu Fu, and he pulled her to his side for comparison.
"Well, I've grown taller again. Girls from Beili are always taller than girls from the south."
"Hey, why did you lose weight again?"
He took Yufu's pulse, and almost without thinking, he ordered directly to the little boy next to him: "Go and cook tonic for your little senior sister, Sanhua health soup and the little pigeons I raised are stewed in turn, every day Eat. If I find out that your little senior sister has missed a day of drinking, I will beat you until your ass blooms, do you hear me?"
The white-clothed boy was obviously often threatened by Xunchi, but he just shrank his neck, "Yes, I will go now, and I will make my little sister leave in vain and fat."
He turned his eyes and saw two white shadows behind him, Fat Five and Fat Nine were running happily on the grass, and Immortal Valley was neither too hot nor too cold, just suitable for them to play.
He casually pointed at them, "Here, just like them!"
After saying that, he ran away in a hurry, afraid that Xun Chi would grab him and beat him up.
Xun Chi squinted his eyes to see his back running desperately, and suddenly saw Gu Hanmo who was being supported by Gu Shubai and others, and stepped forward to catch his pulse.
Yu Fu took advantage of the situation and said: "Master, Third Brother's arm is injured, please show him!"
"What's up with him?"
When Tianshu heard the news that Yufu and others had returned, he rushed over, just in time to hear Yufu say that Gu Hanmo was injured.
He looked at Moon Fox in the crowd, who smiled charmingly at him without saying a word.
Xunchi nodded, "It's nothing serious, Tianshu, you take him into my room, this little injury will be cured soon. By the way, let Xiaobai cook soup for Yufu every day, Take care of him."
He pointed at Gu Hanmo, swept across the crowd, and his eyes fell on the scar on Yin Jixie's forehead.
This time there is no need for Yu Fu to speak, Xun Chi said directly: "Put her up too, I will treat her scar by the way. By the way, let Xiao Bai take care of her medicine."
Everyone was full of black lines, the boy in white just compared Yufu to a fox and a dog, and Xun Chi held a grudge so much that he asked him to take care of three patients alone.
It is said that the older a person is, the more open-minded he is. Why is he so stingy
Yin Jixie heard that Xunchi took the initiative to heal herself, she was overjoyed and hurriedly saluted, but Gu Shubai couldn't be happy, and hurriedly stepped forward to apologize to Xunchi.
"It's all the younger generation's fault. They didn't take good care of Yufu, and made her lose a lot of weight by worrying and hurting her."
Xiaobai just made a joke of Yufu, and Xunchi just held grudges like this, he made Yufu so much, Xunchi was not angry
It would be terrible if he refused to marry Yufu to him!
"none of your business."
Xunchi's tone was indifferent, and he concentrated on taking Yin Jiyu's pulse without even looking at Gu Shubai.
Yu Fu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Xin Dao Xunchi really didn't mean to blame Gu Shubai for saying this, he was never a duplicity person.
Unexpectedly, after he took Yin Jixie's pulse, he appeared in front of Gu Huaijiang in a flash.
"I said you, you, you are not too young as a junior, why are you not as good as a junior?"
Gu Huaijiang was taken aback, and when he was about to speak, Xunchi slammed at him, "Last time when I saw you, I really loved Yufu, and the children in your family are also good, so I reluctantly let Yufu stay in your house You are fine, why are you living more and more pedantic?"
"That Little Emperor Ning is stupid and soft-hearted, and most importantly, he is obsessed with sex, so he wants to marry Yufu in a whimsical way? You knew it and didn't stop him, but you honestly asked him to arrest you all and threaten Yufu , I said, are you stupid?"
"Even these little ones know that they have to entangle the crowd to revolt. It's good for you to stay in it? If you didn't stop me, would there be so many troubles in the future? Yufu would have to run from Dongling to Xikun Will you run back to Dongling again?"
Gu Shubai and the others were dumbfounded.
Since childhood, their father has been the most majestic existence in their hearts. He represents absolute correctness and principles. No one has ever dared to speak to him in such a tone.
Even when the first emperor feared him the most, he had to pay him three points of respect, but Xun Chi scolded Gu Huaijiang in front of everyone, leaving him no room to refute.
The most frightening thing was that Gu Huaijiang didn't show annoyance at all, instead he seemed to accept it humbly.
After Xunchi finished cursing angrily, he raised his head, "What the God of Medicine said is true, this junior is ashamed."
Everyone: "..."
The image of the strict father in their hearts suddenly collapsed to nothing.
Seeing this, Yu Fu hurriedly sang Gu Huaijiang, "Master, don't say that, the general has no other choice. He has served Dongling Chaotang for decades, so it can be changed? I am not from Dongling. , so it is easy to think about rebelling, but the general has taken root in Dongling for generations, so it is not easy for him to be willing to follow me to Beili."
"snort."
Seeing Yufu's face, Xunchi didn't say anything more, he waved his hand to signal Tianshu to follow up, raised his hands on the ground behind his back, and arrived at the house on the cliff all at once.
Tianshu grabbed Gu Hanmo's uninjured left arm, Yuehu also grabbed Yin Jiyi, and the two flew up the eaves and walls, and with a few kicks, they went to Xunchi's residence.
It was only then that everyone discovered that there were unique footholds on the cliff. Except for a person like Xunchi who was as tall as a celestial being, he could fly up directly. No matter how good his martial arts were, he needed the help of these footholds to fly up.
Gu Yi's mind was balanced now, "It's too foggy today, and tomorrow I can see clearly the positions they stepped on, and maybe I can fly up with my lightness kung fu."
Everyone looked at him with idiotic eyes.
Gu Huaijiang had just been scolded by Xunchi, instead of comforting his father, he was still thinking about how to fly to the house on the cliff
Gu Yi was so stared at by everyone that he hugged his arms and timidly hid behind Gu Xiang.
Yu supported Gu Huaijiang, "General, don't take Master's words to heart. Although he is a master outside the world, because he is so free and unrestrained, how can he understand the various ties of people in the world?"
Gu Huaijiang sighed, looked up at Yufu, Gu Shubai and the others.
Yu Fu had indeed lost a lot of weight, and Gu Shubai's martial arts had not fully recovered since he narrowly escaped death, Gu Jiuge and the others were determined to die in prison.
There is also Gu Hanmo who was taken away by Xunchi. He sacrificed an arm to save himself. A martial artist's arm is more precious than his life. Gu Hanmo loves to practice swords so much, what if he really loses his arm
His children, the young Gu Xiang Gu Yi and the others have not yet been crowned, but they have suffered a lot with him.
All this is because of his paranoia, because he refuses to raise an army to resist.
He was silent for a long time before he said, "Do you also resent your father in your heart?"
"how could be?"
Gu Jiuge said: "Father has been loyal to the country and the people all his life. He is our role model and role model. Even if we have a little resentment in our hearts, it is because we are not strong enough."
Gu Wenqing stepped forward and said: "At that time, my third brother and Yu Fu planned to rebel, but we figured it out after my father stopped us. Guhou's mansion was indeed wronged, but after our rebellion, innocent subjects of the imperial capital were implicated. There will be more families ruined. Once the country is in chaos, Xikun will take advantage of the situation, and the casualties will be even heavier. Father is not stupid and loyal, but just caring for the people of Dongling."
Gu Shubai stepped forward to help him, "Father, as sons of man, how can we not know your heart? We have never mistakenly thought that you are just foolish and loyal, father and son have a heart, and children are as concerned about the people as you are, and do not want to be ruined."
Just like he threatened Ning Chengzhi to mobilize the Gu family army to rebel at the end, it was just a rhetoric to scare Ning Chengzhi.
In fact, if he sent someone to investigate, he would find that there were indeed signs of mobilization of the Gu family army, but it was just to strengthen the resistance against Xikun's possible attack.
This kind of transfer can not only deter Ning Chengzhi, but also completely fail to find out if it is investigated, and will not implicate any soldiers of the Gu family army.
Gu Huaijiang nodded slightly, thinking that Gu Shubai and others thought the same as Xunchi, and they didn't want them to understand.
Yu Fu also smiled and said: "General, you have your persistence, we all understand. It's been hard work all the way, let's go back and rest first!"
The residence that Guzhong arranged for everyone was near Yufu's original residence, and everyone went back to rest separately.
The boy in white clothes called Xiaobai squatted outside the Yufu Gate to make soup with a bitter face, and someone called him from there, "Xiaobai, Master asked you to pound snow lotus meat for Miss Yin, have you done it?"
"knew."
Xiaobai responded with a drawn-out voice, and when he turned around to look for the sausage lotus that he had just taken out of the prescription, he realized that Fat Jiu had already gnawed half of it.
"You big fat dog, why did you eat my meaty snow lotus?!"
He rushed to snatch the food with his dog's mouth, Fat Jiu was so frightened that he hurried into the room, Xiao Bai was holding the only half of the meat snow lotus left, wanting to cry without tears.
"My God, the last Saussurea in the pharmacy, isn't this forcing me to go to the mountain tomorrow to pick it?"
Fat Nine ran to a distance and stopped when he saw that he hadn't followed. He turned around and wagged his tail wildly at Xiaobai, with a coquettish and cute expression on his face.
Now Xiaobai burst into tears, wiped his tears and sat on the ground, "Even you bully me, wow!"
-----Off Topic-----
The little brother Tian Yunpo, who has not officially appeared on the stage, gave Yiren a bonus fee, and wanted to say something to everyone in advance—
"My name is Tian Yunpo, hey, I'm not called Yun Potian, nor Poyuntian!"
