Chapter 171: Attacked
Mu Lanfeng glanced at Gu Yunxuan's receding back, then slowly approached the stone wall, stretched out his hand and gently pressed on a part of the stone wall. There was a loud "bang" and a door suddenly appeared on the stone wall.
After the door was fully opened, he stepped inside.
Biqing didn't dare to delay and followed closely.
Inside the stone gate is a completely different scene, with flowers blooming in profusion, vying for beauty, and colorful petals swaying gently in the breeze. There are green trees with lush branches and leaves, and clear streams gurgling, like a fairyland on earth!
Biqing's face was filled with astonishment and she was filled with amazement in her heart.
I never thought that there would be such a fairyland-like place in this world!
"The girl is finally back!" Shu Ya, dressed in purple, seemed to be relieved instantly, with joy on her face. It was obvious that she had been waiting for a long time.
After saying that, she cautiously glanced at Biqing behind Mu Lanfeng.
Behind her were three other maids, their clothes of different colors, and they all looked happy when they saw Mu Lanfeng.
"I told you to practice hard every day, but none of you listened. What if I fail to get back in time?" Mu Lanfeng pretended to be angry, his face full of disappointment.
"What are you afraid of!" The maid in green behind Shu Ya raised her eyebrows, her eyes bright and her teeth white, full of fearlessness, "At worst, we can fight to the death and perish together!"
Mu Lanfeng looked at the maid in green, his face becoming increasingly gloomy. "Luwu, you really don't know how high the heavens are and how deep the earth is! Fighting to the death and dying together? It's easy to say, life is so precious, yet you don't know how to cherish it!"
Lu Wu stuck out her tongue, looked at Shu Ya meaningfully, and lowered her head silently.
Shu Ya on the side actually agreed with Lu Wu's idea and said: "If it really comes to that time, what Lu Wu said makes sense!"
Mu Lanfeng rolled his eyes at the two of them and said in feigned anger, "You two can both piss me off to death!"
"Girl, how dare we! We must practice well in the future!" Shu Ya replied quickly.
"Okay, I won't mess with you anymore. Let's talk about serious matters. Gu Yunxuan said that he had submitted visiting cards many times. Is that true?" Mu Lanfeng's expression suddenly became serious.
Shu Ya raised her eyes, looked at Mu Lanfeng and nodded, "It is true! But the identity of this Mr. Gu... Does the girl know this Mr. Gu?"
Mu Lanfeng frowned, his expression solemn, and said slowly: "I know that he has a special identity, and I can probably guess who he wants me to treat!"
Shu Ya followed behind Mu Lanfeng, and asked softly as they walked, "Miss, what are your plans?"
"I promised him that I would go to Dongling after I finish this busy period!" Mu Lanfeng responded.
As they were talking, they arrived at their residence in the valley.
The houses in the valley are built according to the terrain of the valley, with different heights and blending well with the surrounding natural environment. The overall look is very compact and peculiar!
Biqing had never seen a house constructed like this before.
The wood used to build houses is mostly nanmu, because nanmu is hard, durable, and has insect-proof properties, which can protect medicinal materials and items in the house very well.
The roof is in a unique gable shape and is covered with ink-colored glazed tiles, which sparkles mysteriously under the sunlight.
"Yeah!" Shu Ya listened silently.
Mu Lanfeng glanced sideways, his eyes fell on Bi Qing, and said slowly: "Bi Qing, you don't need to be surprised, nor curious. What you see at this moment is the most real!"
Biqing opened her mouth slightly, not knowing what to say for a moment.
In fact, based on Mu Lanfeng's unorthodox yet extremely superb medical skills, one should have guessed that her identity must be extraordinary.
How could she be the fifth young lady in the Mu Mansion who was bullied by others?
And the fact that Mu Lanfeng could actually bring her to this mysterious Valley of Divine Doctors undoubtedly showed that Mu Lanfeng already regarded her as his own and gave her absolute trust.
Mu Lanfeng looked calm and said, "Okay, Shuya, take Biqing for a walk, don't worry about me!"
After saying this, Mu Lanfeng went straight into the medicine room.
The door of the medicine room slowly closed behind her, making a slight creaking sound.
As soon as you step into the medicine house, the rich aroma of herbs hits you in the face.
Various medicinal materials are arranged in an orderly manner, some are packed in exquisite porcelain bottles, and some are dried on bamboo racks.
The sun shone through the carved lattices of the window, forming beams of warm light that illuminated the dust particles flying in the air.
Mu Lanfeng walked to the wooden table, on which were placed several yellowed medical books. She picked up one of the books and began to read it carefully. This was an ancient pharmacopoeia sent by Li Zeqi. The language was obscure and difficult to understand, but she found it very interesting!
In a corner of the medicine room, a pot of herbs was cooking on a small stove.
The fire flickered, making crackling sounds.
The walls of the medicine house are covered with illustrations of various herbs and diagrams of the human meridians.
Mu Lanfeng walked to the bookshelf and flipped it casually. A folded paper unexpectedly fell from the bookshelf.
She leaned over, picked up the note, and unfolded it carefully.
At the moment the note was fully unfolded, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and an unconcealable smile quietly blossomed.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Li Zeqi's IOU!
I still remember that Hongyin once said that she was really evil. She asked for a hundred taels of gold as soon as she opened her mouth. For ordinary people, it was really an astronomical figure!
At noon, Hongyin also came back.
Mu Lanfeng stayed in the Divine Doctor Valley until the sun was about to set before he got up and returned to the Mu Mansion.
Not long after leaving the valley, we encountered four or five men in black blocking our way!
The leading man in black just gave a look and the others immediately launched their killing moves.
Hong Yin was sharp-eyed and quickly found a hiding place and hid herself.
Mu Lanfeng swung the whip, which danced in the air like a snake, making a "pa pa" sound.
The leading man in black saw this and his eyes became stern. He quickly swung his sword to block. Mu Lanfeng's whip was extremely fast and instantly entangled his sword. Mu Lanfeng shook his wrist and pulled hard, and the black-clothed man's sword flew out of his hand.
Judging from the moves these people use, they are similar to Tianluo's spies last night. They should be the same group!
These people suddenly appeared like ghosts, attacked in an instant, and remained silent throughout the process, like killers from the underworld.
His moves were extremely sharp and brutal, each of them carrying a force like a rotten wood and rotten wood, as if it could easily break steel. His figure was as fast as a phantom, and his moves were at tricky and bizarre angles, making it impossible to defend against.
They are definitely the top among the masters, and the overwhelming murderous aura seems to be able to solidify the air around them.
It was obvious that they all came for her, Mu Lanfeng!
Faced with these aggressive and ferocious men in black, a cold light flashed in Mu Lanfeng's beautiful eyes, and a burning fighting spirit instantly ignited.
She shook her wrist lightly, and the long whip seemed to come to life like a snake, swiftly drawing a dazzling arc in the air, and lashed at the man in black at an astonishing speed.
Wherever the long whip passed, it brought about a sharp and piercing sound of breaking wind.
Her figure was as agile as a ghost, and she moved freely and neatly among the fierce attacks of the men in black.
Mu Lanfeng did not give the man in black a chance to breathe. He flashed and swung the whip again. Like a giant python, it tightly wrapped around the neck of a man in black. Then he pulled hard and the man in black was dragged to the ground.
Seeing this, the other men in black rushed towards Mu Lanfeng. But she was not afraid at all, swinging her long whip tightly to protect herself and Biqing.
The long whip collided with the black-clothed man's weapon, making a crisp collision sound.
Mu Lanfeng skillfully used the flexibility of the whip to dissolve the attacks of the men in black.
Although Bi Qing fought hard, his skills were weak after all. After exchanging several moves with a man in black, he gradually showed signs of fatigue.
The man in black saw Biqing's weakness and swung his sword fiercely. Biqing couldn't dodge in time and was about to be stabbed.
At the critical moment, Mu Lanfeng was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He swung out the long whip like a snake, entangled the sword of the man in black, pulled hard, and snatched the sword from the man in black. At the same time, he kicked the man in black and forced him back.
Mu Lanfeng turned to look at Bi Qing and warned, "Be careful!"
Biqing looked at Mu Lanfeng and nodded.
After the whip saved Biqing, Mu Lanfeng's eyes became more fierce, and the whip in his hand seemed to be injected with endless anger.
She shook her wrist violently, and the long whip was like a mad dragon emerging from the sea, sweeping towards the man in black with the force of thunder.
