Chapter 535: The Lonely Old Wolf
Chapter 535: The Lonely Old Wolf
Of course, they would sometimes go out to experience the world. Because this is also part of the monks' training. It is because of this that their Plum Blossom Valley has been able to grow and develop. Because both the master and the apprentice cannot stand seeing an orphan girl. Whenever they see a lonely and helpless girl, they will bring her to the Plum Blossom Valley. Fortunately, the master and the apprentice do not go out often, so in a few decades, there are only a few dozen disciples in the Plum Blossom Valley! It is also fortunate that they do not go out often, otherwise, this Plum Blossom Valley would have become a well-known big sect!
With more people, there are more things to do. Muchun was naturally fed up with it, and those trivial things naturally fell on Zijuan. But Zijuan was happy to do it, and took on all the tasks of taking care of the junior sisters and urging them to practice. In the end, Muchun became the most idle person in the whole Plum Valley.
Taking a break from the busy schedule is a pleasant experience. It is like an unexpected gain, which is particularly valuable! However, if you are extremely bored, that kind of "leisure" will make you panic! Indeed, she can have enough time to practice. But people cannot practice all the time after all, and they also need to do other things to change their minds. Otherwise, blindly practicing hard may not necessarily achieve good results. It is like reading a book. You see him holding a book all day long, but he may not really be able to read it. Sometimes he is just pretending to be seen by others or to seek comfort in his heart!
She didn't have to worry about the disciples' cultivation, food, clothing, housing and transportation. Even if she wanted to prune the plum trees, she couldn't do it. The disciples snatched the scissors away before she picked them up! Sometimes she really wanted to lose her temper, but she knew she had no reason! Obviously, the disciples were sympathizing with her master!
In desperation, she could only think of other ways to kill the boring time. She couldn't just stare at the plum blossoms every day, right? She also wanted to check on the disciples' practice, but watching them practice with their legs crossed and eyes closed made her feel even more bored!
A tiger that broke into the Plum Blossom Valley helped her find a way to spend her free time! If a wild beast could freely break into the Plum Blossom Valley patrolled by disciples, wouldn't it be even easier for a cultivator with a high level of cultivation to enter?
Of course, she didn't mean to blame the disciples, but she felt a little scared! She thought it was necessary to set up a large formation to protect Plum Blossom Valley. At least, outsiders couldn't come in and out at will. After all, the people in Plum Blossom Valley were all women.
Just do it! Mu Chun immediately threw himself into the formation with unprecedented enthusiasm! Checking the terrain, drawing the formation map, collecting materials... all by himself, busy and happy!
However, the good times didn't last long! Muchun's actions soon attracted the attention of Zijuan and other disciples! Especially Zijuan, who had studied the formation, but was still lacking in drawing the formation diagram! Therefore, she easily saw the master's intention! Arranging the formation is a laborious task, especially for such a large valley protection formation as the master was setting up! Since the master had already drawn the formation diagram, how could he let the master do such trivial things as arranging the formation himself? So he took the responsibility of arranging the formation from the master's hands. In this way, Muchun became idle again!
Mu Chun was depressed, but he had no way to vent! He couldn't blame his disciples for being filial, could he?
One day, when I was sitting in silence, looking at the plum blossoms in front of me, Meixiang's face suddenly flashed in my mind! I couldn't suppress my longing for her. I wished I could see Meixiang right away and talk to her about every little thing that happened over the years!
You know, although there are many disciples in Plum Valley now, there is no one to chat with. It's not that she doesn't want to, but those disciples are always respectful to her, and there is no fun in chatting at all! Even Zijuan, who is closest to her, is the same!
She once asked Zijuan, and Zijuan's answer was: Without rules, there will be no order! The reason why she did this was to maintain the master's authority! Although she didn't want such authority, she was powerless to refute it! She could only let those disciples treat her as a Buddha and worship her!
Mu Chunyu Meixiang recalled her mother's tragic death and her father whom she still could not forgive! For so many years, she had been trying her best to avoid the memories of the painful past, unwilling to touch the pain in her heart! The reason why she accepted disciples and founded Plum Valley was to keep herself busy, so as to numb herself and not think about the people and things that made her sad. Even in her free time, she deliberately avoided them. But those people and things in the past would not be completely forgotten because of her avoidance.
Now that those past events were recalled, they became even clearer! Thinking about how I had not visited my mother's grave to pay respect to her for so many years! Thinking about how I had forgotten my lifesaver for so many years! I couldn't help but feel deeply guilty! So I had the idea of going to pay respect to my mother and visit my lifesaver immediately!
This is how people are. Once you have an idea for something, you will feel that it is urgent and must be done! This is what Muchun is thinking now. When she had the idea of worshiping her mother and visiting Meixiang, she was unwilling to wait any longer. She immediately packed her luggage and prepared to leave Plum Valley.
But how could Zijuan let her master go out alone? She had to follow and serve him no matter what. However, Muchun did not want the disciples to know about her past painful experiences, so she firmly rejected Zijuan's request. Even if Zijuan wanted to send a disciple to follow and take care of her, she was rejected. Zijuan could not persuade Muchun, so she had to say goodbye to her in tears!
Muchun came to the hillside full of flowers. The wild flowers were still gorgeous, but her mother's grave could no longer be found! The small mound had disappeared with the passage of time, and she was not even sure of its approximate location! The only thing she could be sure of was this hillside full of flowers!
Muchun tried her best to search her memory to locate her mother's grave. But it was all in vain! She collapsed among the flowers, thinking of her mother's love for her and her tragic death, and finally couldn't help crying!
Smelling the scent of the soil and the fragrance of the flowers, she felt as if she was in her mother's arms, and she didn't want to get up for a long time! She just lay there, pressed her face tightly to the ground, and whispered about her experiences over the years. It was just like when she was a child and was wronged, she lay in her mother's arms!
The breeze blew, and the sound of the flowers swaying was so subtle, just like her mother whispering comfort in her ear! This made her feel like she was back in her mother's arms, and she fell asleep unconsciously! Just like when she was a child!
However, the dreams of childhood were sweet. But now she dreamed of the devil! She only felt that the devil was getting closer and closer to her! He stretched out his hand to pinch her neck, making her unable to breathe! She couldn't help but struggle desperately, struggle desperately... She couldn't help but scream in fear! But when she heard the wolf howl of "Ah...", she was frightened and shuddered, and suddenly opened her eyes! The breeze blew, making her feel cool. She realized that her whole body was soaked with sweat! And in the distance, a skinny old wolf was staring at her unwillingly!
At this moment, she looked at the lonely old wolf and felt pity for it instead of hostility. This reminded her of her father. She wondered if he was as pitiful as the old wolf! If her mother was still alive, she would definitely hope that she would forgive her father and reunite with him, right? She suddenly had an urge to see her father! She immediately knelt down in the flowers, kowtowed a few times, and silently said in her heart: Mother! I understand what you mean. You want me to find my father! I will go find him now!
When Muchun found the valley with her memory, she knew from the abandoned houses that this should be the valley where Mu Chengqi lived in seclusion. But now it was already in ruins and no one was seen!
