A rare opportunity

Chapter 534 Difficult Choice

Muchun looked up and saw a plum forest in front of her! The plum blossoms on the trees were competing for beauty! Some were white like snow; some were pink like fat; some were red like fire; some were yellow like gold... The breeze blew, the branches swayed, and the fragrance drifted far away!

She couldn't help but scream with excitement! She quickly jumped off the horse holding Zijuan and rushed into the sea of ​​plum blossoms!

The two of them flew and danced in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers like butterflies! Even the horse raised its head and neighed excitedly!

The two of them played and frolicked in the plum forest, and finally lay on their backs on the ground covered with flower petals, looking up at the blue sky through the gaps between the plum blossoms!

After a long while, I heard Zijuan say cautiously:

"Sister, can we stay?"

"Okay! Since you like it, then we will stay here! However, from now on you can no longer call me sister, you should call me master instead!"

"Master?"

Zijuan is a little confused!

"Yes! Don't you want to learn skills from me? Since I teach you, I am naturally your master, and you are my apprentice!"

Zijuan was overjoyed when she heard this! She immediately shouted:

"Master!"

Along the way, they had to sleep in the open and encounter wolves and tigers. Every time she saw Muchun subduing those vicious guys with just a few gestures, Zijuan was envious! Muchun also really liked this well-behaved and considerate girl, and had long wanted to take her as her apprentice. However, the two of them had no place to live and wandered around, so she didn't tell Zijuan!

Mu Chun couldn't help but be speechless! Just like that, she was considered a disciple? She remembered that when her father accepted disciples, he had to set up an incense table with the tablet of the ancestor on it. Those prospective disciples had to kneel down and worship the ancestor with their father, and then they had to kowtow three times and nine times to their father before they could be considered as formal disciples! What did Zijuan mean? Just calling "Master" was considered a disciple? Although there was no incense table or tablet of the ancestor here, it was impossible to worship the ancestor. Of course, Mu Chun didn't have any ancestors either. Most of the skills and martial arts she practiced came from those monks who had something to ask of her. The sources were extremely complicated, where could she find the ancestors?

You don't have to bow to the ancestor, but you still have to do the three bows and nine kowtows ceremony. This is the rule in the cultivation world!

Of course, this couldn't be blamed on Zijuan. How could a little girl of seven or eight years old understand all this?

Mu Chun smiled and shook his head:

"That won't do!"

Zijuan was stunned when she heard this. She thought to herself: Didn't you ask me to call you Master? Why is it not working again? Are you going to change your mind?

Mu Chun ignored the change in Zijuan's expression and continued smiling:

"If you want to be my disciple, you have to kowtow to me a few times!"

Zijuan couldn't help but touch her chest, thinking to herself: You should have said it earlier! You scared me to death! She immediately turned over and knelt on the ground, kowtowed "dong dong dong..." She didn't know how many times to kowtow, until Mu shouted to stop, then she stopped!

Mu Chun walked forward, helped Zijuan up, and said with a smile:

"Silly boy, why do you kowtow so much? Nine will be enough next time!"

After saying this, I thought about it and realized that it didn't make sense! I couldn't help but laugh! How could I become a disciple twice?

Since we have decided to stay, we naturally have to solve the problem of food and accommodation first. Food is easy to solve, as there are wild animals and wild fruits everywhere in the mountains. It is inexhaustible! Accommodation becomes a problem.

The terrain here is flat, and it is a large valley, so naturally there are no caves to shelter from the wind and rain. Even if there are a few caves that can be lived in on the distant peaks, they were rejected by the master and apprentice because they are far away from this plum forest. In the end, the two decided to build a thatched hut with grass and a fence as a wall. They built a thatched hut by themselves for the two of them to stay.

The two of them started working right away, and immediately got busy in an open area in the plum forest. Zijuan was especially excited! Although she couldn't help much, she was busy running around, having a lot of fun!

After several days of hard work, two huts surrounded by fences finally appeared on the open space. Although they were a little crooked and shaky, they were still excited enough! After all, this was the home they built with their own hands!

From then on, in the depths of this vast mountain range, in a valley, a new sect was born - Plum Blossom Valley! This sect got its name from the plum blossoms, and the leader called himself Plum Blossom. However, at that time, there were only two people, the master and the apprentice!

After several decades, Plum Blossom Valley already had dozens of disciples, and it also had a certain reputation in the Hongzhou cultivation world. Of course, this reputation did not come from strength, but from the composition of the Plum Blossom Valley disciples! This was because the Plum Blossom Valley disciples were all female disciples, even the servants in the valley were female! And all men were forbidden to enter the Plum Blossom Valley. Even the king of heaven could not enter!

Some dissolute young men refused to believe this and tried to force their way into Plum Blossom Valley. However, they were blocked by the formation and could not make any progress even after being covered in dust! The disciples of Plum Blossom Valley rarely went out, which added to the mystery of Plum Blossom Valley.

After Muchun settled down, he wanted to start teaching Zijuan martial arts. But although he had a lot of ideas in his head (most of these ideas came from those monks who wanted to ask Mu Chengqi for a weapon. Although they were not the special skills of those people, they were definitely not ordinary ones in order to obtain Mu Chengqi's weapon), he didn't know what to teach Zijuan. He just thought that every martial art was good and wanted to teach her. But, he thought another one was better. He was undecided for a while and couldn't make a choice!

This is how people are. If there were no choices, it would be fine. Once there are choices, especially when there are many options, it will be difficult to choose. There will always be a feeling of gain and loss!

Mu Chun wanted to give everything in her mind to Zijuan. But after thinking carefully, she felt that it was not right! Although she had dabbled in those techniques and martial arts, now she thought about it, including the formations taught to her by her own father, she had not really mastered any of them! Even if she herself couldn't figure it out, what could she teach Zijuan? The so-called miscellaneous but not refined is her true portrayal! It seems that the so-called cultivation is really about refinement rather than quantity!

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat! She had been out there for so many years, and was proud of her knowledge and experience! Now she thought that she had never met a true master!

With this thought, Mu Chun finally stepped onto the right track of cultivation!

She certainly didn't want Zijuan to repeat her mistakes! So she devoted herself to studying those martial arts techniques, hoping to find one or two sets of techniques to serve as the foundation for her own school.

After careful consideration, she finally selected two sets of exercises suitable for girls, several sets of martial arts, and her father's formation. The reason why she chose the formation was because she believed that it was the most suitable for women to practice! Most women are weak, and even if they have the same cultivation, they can't fight against men! With the help of the formation, it is possible to defeat the strong with the weak! Even if you can't defeat the strong, you can protect yourself!

Na Muchun first taught Zijuan the formation. Although she was not proficient in it, it was the martial art she had practiced for the longest time. Therefore, it was also her best martial art! She herself concentrated on practicing one of the techniques she had chosen, and planned to teach it to Zijuan after she had a lot of experience in practice.

Ten years later, not only did Zijuan gain some insights into the formation, but she also made some progress in cultivation! She has reached the ninth level of Qi Refining. Muchun has made even more rapid progress, breaking through to the seventh level of Liquid Refining!

Although Mu Chun's cultivation is not high, her knowledge is extraordinary! She knows that cultivation cannot be done behind closed doors, and must often go out for practice. Only through practice can one consolidate one's cultivation, lay a solid foundation for cultivation, and make further progress!

Therefore, after that, she often took Zijuan out for training. The so-called training was nothing more than fighting to gain combat experience and find one's own shortcomings so as to make up for them in future training. Of course, the objects of their training were not humans, but the wild beasts in the deep mountains!
