Golden Greenery

Yue Mu accepted his first apprentice in the 253rd year of his coming to this world.

Yue Mu is Mu Yue, and this is already his third official name in this world. As for the informal ones, he didn't need to take them seriously.

From leaving Chang'an to coming back, 130 years have passed, and at least 100 of them have been spent searching for keys and locks, and fighting against all kinds of enemies. Fighting for at least 100 years.

His enemies include bandits, soldiers, herdsmen, citizens, strong men, gladiators, warriors, water thieves, pirates of all colors, as well as snow-white long-furred bears, monsters with one horn, as for wolves, Lions, tigers, more.

In these 100 years, he broke 28 narrow swords, 21 broad swords, 17 scimitars, 4 horse spears, 4 spears, 6 long knives, 19 sets of bows and arrows, and two large axes.

During these 100 years, he rode 4,013 horses and 116 camels.

Except for the Qingshuang Sword given by Gao Xianzhi 137 years ago, he snatched all the other weapons and mounts.

His weapon now is a Tang Dao, which looks like a sword but is longer than a sword. It is bladed on one side. The blade and handle are very long. It can be wielded with one hand or chopped with two hands. When he passed by Liangzhou, he snatched it from a Tibetan man who wanted to rob him.

The Tubo people were rampant in Liangzhou again, which showed that the Tang Dynasty was in decline. When I left, it was still the prosperous Kaiyuan era, but when I came back, the Tang Dynasty was already crumbling, and the prosperous Tang Dynasty turned into a ruined Tang Dynasty.

It was impossible for the Tang Dynasty to be defeated from the outside by the enemy. Too much time had passed. Not only all the old friends had passed away, but even An Lushan, who brought trouble to the Tang Dynasty, had been dead for a long time.

Chang'an City no longer had the splendor of the first city in the world. It became dilapidated and ransacked three times by the Tubos and Uighurs in a century. The population was less than half of what it was during the Kaiyuan period.

War breaks out everywhere, and there have never been so many mountain people in the Zhongnan Mountains.

Yue Mu didn't stop at the original cabin. He just confirmed that Luo Ji's ashes had already merged with the soil. The wooden house is gone, the plum tree is gone, and Luo Ji is gone.

Yue Mu found Luoman Keshi Mountain, which is in the extreme west-north. The market town there does not have a large population, but it does look like Luo Ji. It was there that Yue Mu's Qingshuang Sword broke. Before it broke, he used it to stab to death five Romankoshi herdsmen who tried to rob him.

He promised Luo Ji that he would send her ashes back to his hometown. He also promised Xiaoqing to take her ashes back to Chang'an.

He failed to do so, and they all disappeared completely. Although they all said that they would repay the favor by being a cow or a horse in their next life,

But Yue Mu knew that he was sorry for them.

During the 100 years of wandering around, Yue Mu visited every place with people south, west and north of the Tang Dynasty, and he even went to places without people. He didn't know if these were all of the world, but they must be almost there.

No keys or locks were found, but Yue Mu looked at all the people and determined that at least in terms of race, he was undoubtedly from the Tang Dynasty.

Returning after a hundred years, Yue Mu is undoubtedly the one who has traveled the furthest in this world, far surpassing the former Master Xuanzang. He is no longer the mediocre Mu Yue in martial arts a hundred years ago. His martial arts combat experience is also the most in the world, and it is not limited to a single weapon, nor is it limited to riding and dismounting.

The same goes for the ability to escape.

But Yue Mu knew that he was still stupid. If it were someone else, if this world allowed cultivating immortals, others might have already become golden immortals by practicing martial arts after such a long period of training in martial arts.

And he is still a martial artist, maybe he can barely be called a great martial artist.

When encountering an unprecedented genius like Li Bai, Yue Mu knew that he was still no match. But other than that level, I should be able to fight with anyone.

When Yue Mu went to Dangtu County, Danyang County to see Li Bai, the poet and swordsman of the Tang Dynasty had been dead for almost a hundred years. Li Bai got seriously ill when he was sixty-one years old, but he did not die of illness, but drank himself to death with a heavy drunkenness.

Yue Mu didn't know whether Li Bai would be happy in his life, because he was very unsatisfied in the career he longed for, but it must be Li Bai's wish to have a drink to mark the end for himself.

Yue Mu had another drink with Li Bai in front of his tomb. On the left side of his tomb was the 'Green Lotus Pond', where his Green Lotus Sword was buried with him. In front of the tomb is the very impressive Taibai Temple, which contains more than 300 poems by Li Bai.

Yue Mu drank a glass of wine before each poem, and drank ten glasses of wine before "Farewell to a Friend".

Before visiting Li Bai, Yue Mu first went to Shuzhong to visit his senior brother Yuan Tiangang. After seeing Li Bai, he went to Wufeng Mountain in Xingzhou to visit his senior brother Zhang Guo.

Although Gao Lishi was not a good person, he was still trustworthy. He sent Lao Zhangtou back to Wufeng Mountain for burial and built Qixia Temple for him.

Tongxuan Zhenren Zhang Guo is now the third immortal of the Tang Dynasty. It is said that he lived for more than 3,000 years in the mortal world. When people mention him, they will respectfully call him 'Tongxuan Zhenxian', or Zhang Guolao.

Yue Mu only stayed at Lao Zhangtou for a month because there were many people in Wufeng Mountain and Qixia Temple. Then he walked out of Wufeng Mountain and prepared to go north to visit Bohai, Korea and Fusang.

He had been to Bohai before and was captured by the dog thief Zhang Zhongjian. His name was Fuyu at that time.

In this world, except for Goryeo and Fuso, Yue Mu has been to all the other places he can go to. He plans to see if there are keys and locks in these places.

But as soon as he walked out of Wufeng Mountain and entered Xingzhou, Yue Mu met his first apprentice.

A seriously ill woman was lying on the side of the road. Next to her was a thin child begging, not for food but for money. He needed money to buy medicine for his mother's illness.

Giving gold and silver to such a child would harm him, so Yue Mu took out more than thirty copper coins from his body. Unexpectedly, the child couldn't get up from his knees, so he asked him for gold and silver, because Tongbao was worthless now, and these copper coins were not enough to seek medical treatment.

"Uncle, I have a family heirloom, can I sell it to you for money?"

The child took off a small silver medal in the shape of a hibiscus flower from his neck, with the word "中" engraved on the stamen.

"What's your last name?"

"My surname is Wu, and my name is Wu Daniu."

.

Yue Mu paid for someone to save the woman and bought a small courtyard on the spot in Xingzhou to live with them.

The woman's original surname was An and she was a Sogdian. The Sogdians began to enter the Tang Dynasty as early as the Zhenguan era. After the Kaiyuan Dynasty, the Sogdians of the Tang Dynasty were completely indistinguishable from the Tang people except for their appearance.

The woman's man, Wu Daniu's father, is named Wu Pingyi, and he is an illiterate villager.

Wu Pingyi was an honest farmer in Daizhou. He married a woman in Daizhou as his wife and gave birth to Wu Daniu in Daizhou.

There is a war in Daizhou, and fighting means killing, as long as they are human beings. Wu Pingyi was hacked to death, and the woman fled to Xingzhou with Wu Daniu.

Wu Pingyi's grandfather was named Wu Zhizhong. In fact, the woman didn't know. He only remembered that the man said that his grandfather was also a general in Chang'an City, and later died in the war in Anlu Mountain.

The woman also knew that the silver medal was an heirloom of the Wu family. For Yue Mu, this is enough.

He lost Wu Huiqing's body, and now he met the descendant of their Wu family siblings, and he was probably the only descendant.

In the 253rd year after he came to this world, Yue Mu accepted his first apprentice.

In years of war, rituals and music have collapsed. There is nothing more useful than knowing martial arts, and Yue Mu only knows martial arts.

Wu Daniu is 11 years old. Except for being thinner, he looks like a 14- or 5-year-old boy.

When Wu Daniu was 13 years old, the woman died. Before she died, she said to Daniel: "The Wu family has a family motto that you must remember. Chang'an is a bad place. Chang'an must be killed."

Yue Mu trembled when he heard this, but thinking about it, it didn't matter. The Wu family should hate Chang'an, which was reasonable.

"Daniu, kneel down and kowtow to your master."

After saying this, the woman died.

When Wu Daniu was 17 years old, he was as tall as Yue Mu.

At the age of 18, Yue Mu had nothing left to teach him.

At the age of 19, Yue Mu was no longer a match for Daniel.

When he was 20 years old, Yue Mu believed that even if Li Bai or Senior Brother Yuan were alive, they would not be able to compete with Daniel.

The 21-year-old Wu Daniu looks like a giant, half a head taller than the already tall Yue Mu. He has superb martial arts skills and is extremely powerful.

"Master, the name Wu Daniu doesn't sound good. Please help me change it to a better name."

"Daniu, the name is just a title. It doesn't matter what you call it. But this name was given by your parents. I can't change it. In the future... you can change it yourself."

"As you command, Master."

Having lived in Xingzhou for ten years, Yue Mu is ready to change places. He wants to go to Gaoli and Fusang. But the grown-up Wu Daniu didn't want to go. He said he wanted to make a breakthrough in this troubled world.

Yue Mu felt that what he said was right. It was a pity that someone with such great ability would always follow him.

Before leaving, Wu Daniu kowtowed to Yue Mu three times, knocking the green bricks on the ground into pieces.

Two years later, Yue Mu came back from Goryeo and Fusang with nothing. When passing by Jizhou, he heard that Li Keyong, the governor of Hedong Province, had adopted a adopted son with superb martial arts and great strength two years ago. He was the thirteenth son he adopted. Godson.

Li Keyong's adopted sons all took his surname, and he named the thirteen eunuchs Li Cunxiao.

Yue Mu didn't stop and went straight back to Zhongnan Mountain.
