The breeze blows, the water gurgles, the mountain flowers are brilliant, the mountains are green, and the birds are singing. Every spring season, the peerless scenery of Tianwen Mountain is desirable, but these thirteen connected mountains, coupled with the intricate rivers passing by, are like a maze. Tourists who are greedy for the scenery often come in and cannot go out. Gradually, no one enters the most beautiful depth of the scenery again, but only enjoys some of the peaks on the outside.

The river that travels between the thirteen peaks of Tianwen Mountain is called Yunxi River. Yunxi River is not as turbulent as other big rivers. Although the river surface is wide and narrow, it looks the same calm, but the undercurrents surging deep in the river.

It is precisely because of the many undercurrents under Yunxi River, and the river surface is intricately connected by mountain streams, which can easily make people get lost in Tianwen Mountain. Therefore, although the scenery is beautiful, it is rarely visited.

But at this time, a row of bamboo rafts were paddling deep into Tianwen Mountain. On the bamboo raft were an old man and a young man. The old man was Meng Bufan, known as Ghost Hand in the martial arts world, and the young man was his apprentice Meng Xiaofan.

Meng Bufan stood in front of the bamboo raft, looked around and carefully observed the surrounding environment, while Meng Xiaofan used a long bamboo pole to paddle the bamboo raft forward.

"Master, you can't remember the wrong way, right? We have been paddling for so long, why haven't we arrived yet?" Meng Xiaofan stopped the bamboo pole in his hand and asked with a breath.

"How can my teacher remember the wrong way?" Meng Bufan said without looking back.

Meng Xiaofan curled his lips and then muttered in a low voice: "Isn't I remember the wrong way when I went to the palace to steal things last time? I almost died inside."

Although Meng Xiaofan's voice was very small, Meng Bufan still heard it. He turned around, raised his right hand and gently slapped Meng Xiaofan's head, saying, "Stupid brat, even Master dares to make fun of him now."

"Is what I said wrong? You see, we have been paddling on the river for nearly an hour, and we have been walking around and there has not been a place yet. Didn't we go wrong?" Meng Xiaofan was very unhappy when his master beat him like this.

"Although you are walking around, have you seen us walking through the same place? The rivers here are crisscrossing and detours. If you don't remember the road, you can easily get lost while you are slashing and you can easily return to the starting point. I have been here many times, and I will definitely not remember the road. You can feel at ease that we are almost at the place."

"Oh, Master, what kind of people live here? Tell me about my disciple!" Meng Xiaofan looked at the beautiful scenery everywhere and was particularly interested in the friend of the master who lives in this beautiful scenery but is very difficult to find. Although he had asked the master before, he had not got any answers. Now that the master mentioned it, he asked again.

Meng Bufan looked at his apprentice with a smile on his face, stroked his white beard, and then said, "Forget it, I'll tell you because you have been paddling the raft for so long for your master, but you have to continue to paddle forward."

When Meng Xiaofan heard this, he nodded happily, and then held up a bamboo pole and paddled in the water.

"This is Tianwen Mountain. There are thirteen large and small peaks connected by each mountain. Each peak has an independent name. The river at our feet is called Yunxi River. Don't look at the calm river surface now, there are many undercurrents below, especially a cave we will pass in a while. The undercurrents there are extremely powerful, and most people can't get into it at all." Meng Bufan said in a leisurely manner.

"Don't say these things, hurry up and talk about the people living here." Meng Xiaofan was obviously not interested in what his master said.

When Meng Bufan heard Meng Xiaofan say this, he raised his hand and gently slapped him on the head, then said, "Do you still want to hear it?"

Meng Xiaofan quickly smiled and said, "I want to hear, I want to hear."

Meng Bufan gave him a blank look, and then continued: "In such an extraordinary place, the people living in it are naturally extraordinary. I am afraid no one in the world is his opponent."

"Since he is so powerful, why do he live here?"

"This is a long story. He was learning skills here. When he lost the competition with his senior brother, he swears not to leave here again."

"Then how did you know him, Master?"

"Do you know Tianyun Villa?"

"Of course I know. The owner of the martial arts family, the number one martial arts family, is even more powerful in martial arts, but what does this have to do with the master, Master, who knows the master here?"

"That was more than 20 years ago. The power of Tianyun Villa was far less than today, and its status in the world was not as high as it is now. The owner of the manor at that time was Lu Guiyuan's father Lu Jinshan. It is said that Lu Jinshan got the sword that had been lost for a long time in the world. Although his master was in his thirties at that time, he was very curious and wanted to see the sword. As a result, when he was about to succeed, he was revealed by Lu Jinshan. His master's martial arts skills were far less than his. He didn't pass many tricks and was hit by him with a palm. He was seriously injured and had no chance of escaping. Just when he was about to take my life, a young man in gray clothes saved his master. The young man was the master here, his surname was Ding's name Yuanshan."

"Why did he save you?"

"He is Lu Jinshan's junior brother, and the sword is their master. Although they are the same senior brothers, they are more than ten years apart and have completely different temperaments. Although Lu Jinshan is talented, he has a strong utilitarianism. When he was about to leave the army, he was expelled from the master for privately leaving the mountain to participate in the disputes in the martial arts world. After his master passed away, he came to Tianwen Mountain to pay his respects. He didn't expect to steal the swords. After Ding Yuanshan appeared, he went to Tianyun Villa to chase him. He happened to meet Lu Jinshan to take my life, so he was saved by him."

"Later, did their brothers compete and then Ding Yuanshan lost and returned here and stopped going out?" Meng Xiaofan asked.

Meng Bufan was immediately overjoyed when he heard his apprentice’s question and praised: “You kid are pretty smart.”

Meng Xiaofan was very proud of being praised by his master.

Seeing his apprentice's smug look, Meng Bufan continued: "Actually, the two of them have similar martial arts skills, but Ding Yuanshan is kind-hearted. He thought of Lu Jinshan and his fellow brothers. It was his benevolence that Lu Jinshan won by chance. Although Lu Jinshan won, he still returned the swordless to Ding Yuanshan. However, there is a condition that Ding Yuanshan returned to Tianwen Mountain with the swordless and made a poisonous oath to never come out of the mountain again."

"Lu Jinshan was afraid that he could not beat his junior brother, so he took this opportunity to prevent his junior brother from leaving Tianwen Mountain. In that way, no matter how powerful his junior brother is in martial arts, no matter how powerful his sword is, he cannot threaten him." Meng Xiaofan said.

"That's right," Meng Bufan was very happy about his disciple's performance at this time. "At that time, Lu Jinshan had gradually revealed his ambition to become the number one villa in the world. He had few opponents in the world, but what he was most worried about was his junior brother. He knew that the junior brother who had received the true teachings of his master would have higher martial arts cultivation than him. He was afraid that one day his junior brother would stop him, so he took the opportunity to set up a trap. Ding Yuanshan just wanted to return to his master's sword, but the others did not think much about it, so he agreed, and then left Tianyun Villa with the unsword. Before leaving, he asked to take me away, and Lu Jinshan opposed it."

"And you become friends?"

"Yes, after leaving Tianyun Villa, Ding Yuanshan first cured my injuries, and then we walked all the way to Tianwenshan. He rarely involved in the world. When he met his teacher, he thought it was speculation. Although he later learned about my skills, he didn't say anything. He just advised me to do more chivalrous actions. I am grateful for his life-saving grace and admire his kindness, so I agreed. Since then, my teacher has only stole those ill-gotten wealth to help those suffering."

"Why did Master come here today?"

"Since he returned to Tianwen Mountain, he has never left again. He often comes to visit him with his best friends. As a teacher, he comes here to stay for a while in his spare time. He talks about some interesting things in the world, which has relieved his boredom in the mountains."

"He can really endure loneliness. If it were your master, you might have something wrong with it." Meng Xiaofan said with a wicked smile.

When Meng Bufan heard this, he wanted to raise his hand to hit him again, but this time he avoided him. Meng Bufan did not go into it, but continued: "Not everyone likes the fun. Ding Yuanshan returned to Tianwen Mountain and became a relative of his junior sister. The two lived in this isolated Tianwen Mountain, which was beautiful and beautiful, and lived a fairy-like life, which was also very enviable."

"Is it the only couple here?"

"They have a daughter and an apprentice. His apprentice... is here." Meng Bufan said excitedly at a big tree by the mountain.
