In the next two days, Gu Ling still went to Qingjing Temple every day, and Su Liang's life was also very regular. After entering the palace to perform acupuncture on Situ Han, he went to Qingjing Temple to find Gu Ling. Situ Han's facial paralysis symptoms have improved.

There were people staring at Hanxiangyuan and Ningxiangju all night, but there was nothing unusual.

Su Liang was also worried that the cheap master Gu Ling had just recognized would sneak into Prince Yue's Mansion in the middle of the night, which would cause trouble, but it didn't happen.

When I saw Old Man Mu again, three days had passed since he had hastily become a disciple.

It’s still the same place, deep in the Qingjing Temple pagoda forest.

This time, Old Man Mu did not pretend to be a handyman picking up dead branches. His clothes were neat and clean, his back was straight, and his face was not dirty, but his beard was too messy, making it difficult to see his facial features clearly.

"Your name is Gu Ling, the grandson of Situ Xie, the Marquis of Qian Kingdom. Your name is Su Liang, the number one martial artist in the Qian Kingdom. Now you are serving as an imperial physician and come to Liang Kingdom to treat Emperor Liang. You are pursuing him." Old Man Mu obviously has a crush on Gu. Ling and Su Liang made some inquiries.

Su Liang nodded, "Yes. May I ask your name?"

"Call me Lao Mu!" Old Mu looked from Su Liang to Gu Ling, "Call me Master!"

As for the name, it was not mentioned.

Gu Ling said nothing, and Su Liang didn't ask any questions, "Okay. Old Mu, three days have passed. You haven't regretted accepting a disciple, have you?"

Old Man Mu hummed, "What if I regret it?"

Su Liang sighed slightly, "That only means that you really don't have a master-disciple relationship. Because Gu Ling just wants to see the skills of Mu's master craftsman, and he doesn't really want to become a disciple."

When Old Man Mu heard this, he blew his beard and glared in anger, "Isn't he happy to join me?"

"He's right here. Lao Mu, you get angry at him, don't go at me." Su Liang pulled Gu Ling in front of her, "Since you asked about it, you know what his temper is like. I'm so good-looking and charming. Talent, he only wants to be a normal friend with me, who should I ask for explanation?”

The corners of Old Mu's mouth twitched, "You girl are so shameless!"

Su Liang smiled, "I am alone and have no one to care about. Everything is just for my happiness."

Old Man Mu was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

"Old Mu, are you okay?" Su Liang asked.

Old Man Mu took a deep look at Su Liang and shook his head, "It's okay. Regarding the apprenticeship, I want to explain clearly to you the instructions of Mu's ancestors. Boy, if you can swear to abide by it, I will accept you. If you can't, just be Never seen me!"

When Su Liang heard this, he realized that the teachings of Mu's ancestors must be very important. This old man could even abandon such a talented disciple Miao Zi.

Gu Ling looked calm and said, "Say."

"Disciples who join the Mu family are not allowed to teach outsiders the Mu family's skills, or provide weapons made by the Mu family to outsiders. Otherwise, all the crimes they have committed will be attributed to themselves, and they will not die a good death!" Old Man Mu said in a serious tone, always staring at Gu. Ling's eyes looked like deep pools, without any fluctuation.

Then, Su Liang asked, "I just said it can't be used by outsiders, but I can use it myself, right?"

Old Man Mu was stunned for a moment, but he seemed to have never thought about this before. He frowned and said, "It's fine for self-defense. Boy, if you swear a poisonous oath in front of me and kneel down to become a disciple, you are the descendant of the Mu family." .If you don’t want to, just give up!”

Gu Ling shook his head slightly, "I don't want to."

Old Man Mu instantly showed an angry expression, "You're so strange, kid. I've asked about it. You're so good at martial arts. You didn't care if your father rebelled and the whole family was executed. You clearly have no ambition. Are you planning to be loyal to the royal family of Qian Kingdom or are you planning to do it for you?" What about grandpa’s service?”

When Su Liang heard this, he knew that Old Man Mu would appear again today, not only because of Gu Ling's talent, but also because he had investigated that Gu Ling's character met Mu's requirements for accepting a disciple.

The so-called not to provide weapons to outsiders in the legacy is equivalent to asking not to get involved in power struggles.

The evil disciples that Old Man Mu mentioned three days ago violated the teachings of the Mu family's ancestors.

"It has nothing to do with you." Gu Ling looked indifferent.

Old Man Mu looked at Su Liang, "Little girl, does he really not want to be my disciple, or is he trying to get Qiao? Tell the truth, no matter what, I won't embarrass you!"

Su Liang sighed, "To be honest, he has no desires and desires. Apart from not shaving his head and loving eating meat, there is no essential difference between him and the monks in this temple."

Gu Ling glanced at Su Liang coolly without interrupting her words.

Su Liang continued, "There is only one reason why he wants to become a disciple. He wants to see the skills of Mu's master craftsman, because he is really interested in this way. But Lao Mu, did you forget to ask why we are in Yaocheng? Lie that a descendant of the Mu family sold that fan?"

Old Mu's eyes narrowed suddenly, "You are here to find the descendants of the Mu family? Why are you here?"

Su Liang shrugged slightly, "Why else do you think our emperor would be so kind as to send me to treat Emperor Liang's illness?"

Old Man Mu snorted, "Since you are here for me, why don't you just swear to deceive me so that you can achieve your goal?"

Su Liang shook his head, "We didn't come together. I came here for the descendants of the Mu family, but he didn't. Our emperor asked him to come to King Liang Yue to steal money."

Old Mu looked at Su Liang speechlessly, "So what do you want?"

When Su Liang sent someone from the Liang Kingdom to invite her, Duanmu Yi happened to find out that a descendant of the Mu family had brought the secret records of the government to seek refuge with Situ Xie. He took the opportunity to send her here to treat Emperor Liang openly and secretly investigate the Mu family. I told Old Man Mu about the people and secret records.

"That's it. That's my mission, but the emperor has given instructions for him to assist." Su Liang looked serious, "For this reason, I also asked everyone else to return home first. I'm afraid that if something happens, just the two of us can escape easily."

Old Man Mu frowned, "Sure, I believe it. Since you are so frank, I will tell you the truth. The descendant of the Mu family that your emperor found is my only disciple, named Mu Yu. He was picked up and raised by me. Although the eldest abandoned child has average talent, I have never treated him badly. Three months ago, he disappeared after stealing the secret records of the agency. I finally tracked down Situ Xie for several days and found nothing. See the evildoer beside him."

From the time point of view, it is possible to get the news from Duanmu Yi.

"Could it be that Situ Xie killed people after getting the secret record?" Su Liang frowned.

Old Man Mu snorted, "No. The secret record is only half of it."

"Half of it can be used." Su Liang said.

Old Man Mu sneered, "I'm just afraid that the secret record will fall into the hands of unscrupulous people. The half of the book was cut horizontally and there is no complete picture."

When Su Liang heard this, he gave a thumbs up, "This is a great move! Your evil disciple should still be alive. Maybe Situ Xie thought you made that fan and has been staring at us these past few days."

"That's right. All the hidden weapons I made before have been destroyed. The villain knows that if the weapons I made are not allowed to be obtained by outsiders," Old Man Mu said.

"That's it." Su Liang nodded.

"Okay, let's make the matter clear. That boy refuses to accept me as his disciple, is it because you are loyal to the Emperor of Qian Kingdom and will not abide by the teachings of the ancestors of the Mu family?" Old Man Mu was obviously unwilling to give up Gu Ling as his apprentice. But he gave up talking to Gu Ling directly, thinking that he would be angry to death, so he chose to tell Su Liang directly about Gu Ling.

"This..." Su Liang glanced at Gu Ling, who was studying the patterns on the stone tower next to him as if it had nothing to do with him, shook his head and said, "Not really."

"Why is that?" Old Man Mu became even more angry, "If you don't tell me clearly, this matter won't be over!"

"Old Mu, please calm down. In fact, we don't quite understand the teachings of the ancestors of the Mu family." Su Liang sighed, "Weapons can only be effective if they are in the hands of people. I won't talk about small hidden weapons, but you Mu family The royal family of the Three Kingdoms is looking for the secret book of the mechanism that has been passed down. It is said that it contains blueprints for large weapons used in war. Otherwise, our emperor and the King of Yue of Liang would not be so eager to obtain the meaning of the legacy. You and I both know how to make large weapons for use on the battlefield. In this case, why should we keep the secret records and pass them on? Wouldn't it be safer to destroy the ancestors of the Mu family who left the legacy at that time? There are great conflicts among those in power. This lesson is for those in power during your ancestors’ time. Dynasties have changed and the situation has changed. People can change the rules set by people.”

Old Man Mu's face froze. He had been bound by the legacy for most of his life since he was a child, and his father had told him about it. The legacy had long been engraved in his bones, and it caused him to never think about whether it was right or not.

But there is one thing, Old Man Mu is conscious, he is not happy. In fact, he is a very outstanding descendant of the Mu family, with superb skills, and he really loves the things he makes. However, no matter how exquisite the treasure is, he can only appreciate it by himself, and he dares not let anyone know his surname is Mu for the rest of his life. Countless days and nights, he looked at the secret book and thought about it until dawn, but he couldn't do anything in it for fear of the consequences of going against the teachings of his ancestors.

He had been suppressed his whole life, so he was stunned when he heard Su Liang's words, "Everything is just for my happiness."

And this is the direct reason why Old Man Mu never got married and had no children. He didn't want his own flesh and blood to repeat his repressed life bound by Mu's legacy.

"It's not that he's afraid that he'll die if he breaks his oath, but he doesn't want to lie to you." Su Liang looked at Old Mu and said, "I don't want to either. Although it's only the second time we've met, you obviously take Mu's legacy very seriously. Importantly, if he becomes your disciple, he may one day become a villain in your mouth and turn against him. In that case, we might as well forget it, because we know that he is not a good person, but you are not. Same."

Old Mu looked at Su Liang steadily, but her eyes were always clear and she did not dodge at all.

Old Man Mu knew that what Su Liang said was true, because he could turn around and leave now, so that Su Liang and Gu Ling would never find him again and there would be no loss.

He suddenly looked at Gu Ling, "Boy, is what she said also your thoughts?"

"Yeah." Gu Ling responded.

Then, Old Man Mu said angrily, "You two are so connected. You can never find a better girl than this girl. Do you really want to become a monk?"

Su Liang chuckled, "Yes, he wants to become a monk. Lao Mu, please think about accepting a disciple again. Even if our mission fails, we will not die because of it. He is willing to become a disciple, but he will not swear."

Old Mu looked at Su Liang, then at Gu Ling, then suddenly turned around and said, "Okay, I'll think about it again and see you here in three days!" The words trailed off.

Su Liang breathed a sigh of relief, "I think there is still hope. What do you think?"

Gu Ling answered the question inappropriately, "I don't want to become a monk."

"I'm just joking, don't take it seriously. The meat is so delicious, why do you want it?" Su Liang chuckled, "Half of the secret record is in Situ Xie's hands. Regardless of whether you are a disciple or not, we have to grab it. Do you have any ideas? "

Gu Ling nodded slightly, "I was thinking..."

"What are you thinking about?" Su Liang asked.

"Are you suddenly stupid?" Gu Ling asked back.

Su Liang frowned, "You are stupid, your whole family is stupid."

"Well, my whole family is you and me." Gu Ling agreed.

Su Liang was speechless, frowning and thinking. Gu Ling never commented on her without reason, so...

"Ah, I am indeed stupid." Su Liang suddenly figured it out and patted his forehead.

It has been confirmed that the half of the secret record obtained by Situ Xie does not have a complete drawing of the mechanism. If the other half cannot be obtained, it will be a pile of waste paper. Now they have established a relationship with Old Man Mu, and Old Man Mu himself "contains" the secret record. Just make sure Situ Xie doesn't get the other half.

If after three days, Old Man Mu figures it out and decides not to care about the ancestral teachings anymore and accepts Gu Ling as his disciple, he can draw a complete secret record in minutes. Because he had seen that thing countless times and it must have been engraved in his heart.

As the two of them walked out of Tallinn, Su Liang couldn't help but complain, "You really save your energy. I have to say everything for you."

"As you wish." Gu Ling looked calm.

Su Liang shook his head, "When did I say I was happy?"

Gu Ling's thin lips parted slightly, "You said, everything is just for happiness. Aren't you happy?"

Su Liang silently kicked Gu Ling to express her happy mood...

When Situ Xie stepped into Ningxiang Ju again, he seemed to accidentally ask Gu Ling if he had returned the folding fan to Su Liang.

Gu Ling said he paid it back.

Situ Xie sat for a while and saw that Gu Ling still looked cold, so he got up and went to Hanxiang Courtyard to find Su Liang.

"Doctor Su, I have a heartfelt request." Situ Xie smiled.

Su Liang spoke very well, "King Yue, please speak."

"I wonder if I can borrow that hidden weapon fan for three days?" Situ Xie asked.

Su Liang expressed confusion, "Why did I borrow it for three days?"

Situ Xie said seriously, "Actually, when I saw that fan in the Treasure Pavilion, I wanted to buy it back and give it to Yao'er for self-defense. Although she is good at martial arts, she is far behind Divine Doctor Su. She will marry far away after the new year. If General Peng had not bought it for Doctor Su, I would not have given it to him."

Su Liang nodded, "Thank you King Yue for your kindness, but I still don't understand why you borrowed the fan for three days?"

"I want to find a craftsman to see if I can imitate one and give it to Yao'er." Situ Xie said.

Su Liang's eyes lit up, "I see. I originally wanted to give this fan to Gu Hou, but he didn't want it, so I thought it would be great if I could make a few copies and give them to my friends for self-defense. , but I don’t know any skilled craftsmen.”

Situ Xie's smile deepened, "It seems we have similar ideas."

"The King of Yue loves his grandchildren so much that it would be unkind of me to refuse." Su Liang agreed happily, "When the King of Yue finds a suitable craftsman, bring him to me!"

Situ Xie was stunned for a moment, "Bringing the craftsman to see Dr. Su is..."

Su Liang explained with a smile, "The King of Yue doesn't know, but since I got this fan, I really want to take it apart to see what kind of subtle mechanism the hidden weapon inside is, but I don't understand it and I'm afraid it will be damaged. I can find someone who knows how to do it." The best thing is, then you can see the inner structure of the fan with your own eyes. Whatever the King of Yue and the young ladies in the mansion want to see, come together."

Situ Xie nodded slightly, "It is Dr. Su who has been thoughtful. Since Dr. Su is so generous, I will send someone to find a craftsman who knows how to conceal weapons. I hope to find a suitable person before Dr. Su leaves."

After saying this, Situ Xie took his leave.

After walking out of Hanxiangyuan, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression suddenly became gloomy for a moment, then returned to normal.

Rendong saw Su Liang leisurely cleaning the ice on the rockery in the courtyard, and asked her why she was in such a good mood today.

Su Liang smiled and said, "His Royal Highness the King of Yue must think that I am very easy to talk to. I am so charming."

Lonicera: ...I don’t know if it’s Linglong or not, but it feels quite strange...

"By the way, go and ask Marquis Chang Xin what he wants for supper today?" Su Liang asked Liao Dong.

Lonicera went out as ordered and came back soon, "Marquis Changxin said he wanted to eat fried fish nuggets."

Su Liang was speechless, "It's ice and snow in Yao City, where can I find fish? It's better to become a monk."

Lonicera was stunned for a moment, "What did the master just say?"

Su Liang said seriously, "It's nothing. Tell Gu Yue that her cousin wants to eat fish and let them find a way."

It was not that fish could not be found in Yaocheng, so Gu Ling had the fried fish cubes made by Su Liang himself for a midnight snack that day. They were served to him just after they were taken out of the pan, and they were hot and fragrant.

"Master, when I catch you, I will make you vegetarian every day." Su Liang complained.

Gu Ling's hand holding the chopsticks paused, "We'll talk about it later."

Su Liang blinked and suddenly smiled, "Hey, what if I want to fall in love one day and really pursue you? Would you feel weird?"

Gu Ling elegantly ate the fish pieces before speaking, "How do I know about things that haven't happened yet?"

Su Liang looked at Gu Ling with her face in her hands, "You're afraid you'll hurt me."

Gu Ling asked, "Why do you say this?"

"Looking at your face every day and being abused by your strength, I probably can't find the man I like. I must feel that he is either too ugly or too weak." Su Liang sighed.

"So?" Gu Ling picked up a piece of fish and covered up the corners of his mouth that were slightly raised because of his joy.

Su Liang stood up and said, "So, if we can't find anyone to get married to when we reach thirty, I will really pursue you and see how you feel." He then waved his hand and walked away, "You take your time Eat, I have a book I haven’t finished yet, so I’m going back first.”

The door closed, and Gu Ling's face turned a little dark. Although he knew that the so-called "thirty years old" comment was a joke from Su Liang's past life, because she said that it was normal to get married at thirty in her previous life. But the most he could do was wait until Su Liang turned eighteen, not even one more day. Anyway, she just said it herself, she doesn't like others, and who else would she want to be with if not him...
