Chapter 34 - Visiting Hundred Flowers Valley 


"Don't say unnecessary stuff, Guan Yunchang became a heroic figure because of his deeds, not because people talk about it." Yue Qianchou took him out of the golden bead. Having arrived at the temple again, he pulled out a jade token and handed it to the guy, "Take me to the Hundred Flowers Valley!"

Guan Yu took it over, he glanced toward the temple he was about to leave, with a heave of sigh he said, "Wait!" Guan Yu went toward the boy who had been dead for a long time, he carried the body toward the back of the temple and buried it there. Yue Qianchou nodded his head, thought in his heart that the guy had a good nature.

The two people stepped down and arrived at the foot of the hill, they found a single horse was still tied to the tree. Yue Qianchou untied the reins, rode up and said, "Follow me!"

Do you want me to run while you're on horseback? Guan Yu's red face was uncertain but he could do nothing with his life essence in the hand of the guy's big sister, he didn't dare to waste time, true Qi revolved to the limit, the figure flashed following behind the horse.

Yue Qianchou didn't lead him to another place, but to return to the capital, it was not to go back to the mansion either. The two changed their tattered clothes. By Guan Yu's request, Yue Qianchou struggled with his mind to finally dressed him into Guan Yu of the Three Kingdoms.

Finished dressing, Guan Yu really exuded a splendor. Yue Qianchou's eyes brightened, he felt as if the real Guan Yu had come to life. However, thinking that this Guan Yu was once a deceitful Daoist priest, he was laughing a little.

The owner of the tailor shop couldn't help but praise, "Sir really has a good appearance." Guan Yu asked the owner to bring him a bronze mirror.

Really! A green robes, head wearing a green hat, a long sword on his waist, a red-faced Guan Yu with long beard and mustache appeared on the bronze mirror. Guan Yu slightly narrowed his eyes observing it, almost couldn't even recognize himself.

Out of the tailor shop, Guan Yu followed Yue Qianchou, he secretly wanted to figure out the unparalleled demeanor of Guan Yunchang based on Boss's story. Guan Yu unsheathed his sword, slightly raised his head and pushed his chest forward as he walked. Many passers-by got attracted to him, someone's whisper was heard, "This man's demeanor is powerful and extraordinary."

Guan Yu became more inclined to look straight ahead, Yue turned his head at glanced at him, in the heart happily said, "How amazing Father is! Leading Guan Yu, the crowd is in awe."

The two went to buy horses and made a few laps in the city. Guan Yu never found a horse that could satisfy him. Yue Qianchou became a little impatient and said, "It's just picking a horse to travel, why are you so picky?"

Guan Yu slowly caressed his beard as he said, "You said to me that the horse Guan Yu rode was 'Red Hare'. A horse that could travel thousands of li away. Naturally, I want to pick a good horse that matches me." Yue Qianchou gave him a side glance, the teeth were aching unceasingly, he secretly blamed himself for talking too much that time.

In the end, it was impossible to find the so-called divine horse. The two took horses that were still strong, Guan Yu could only heaved a sigh. The two went straight out of the gates and drove away.

.....

Having not reached Foundation Establishment was a hassle. Otherwise, they would be able to use flying swords and wouldn't have to suffer the long journey. Ten days later, Guan Yu led Yue Qianchou into an ancient forest at a remote mountain. He looked ahead and saw the mountain road ahead was rugged, it would be impossible to continue to ride a horse.

Yue Qianchou jumped out of the horse and pointed toward the fog between the mountains, he asked, "Is the Hundred Flowers Valley there? It's unlikely ah! I don't sense anyone inside the fog."

Guan Yu dismounted from his horse and smiled. He had spent these days with Yue Qianchou and found that he was the kind of person who was easy to get along, he felt at ease with him. Guan Yu answered, "If anyone could see the Hundred Flowers Sect, it would bring a trouble for them, mortals might be able to come in and go out freely. Hundred Flowers Palace has set up a large array around the Hundred Flowers Valley, those fog are just some camouflage mainly in order to obstruct mortals. Lets go! But what about these two horses?"

"What? Do you want to send those to your parents? Just leave those here," Said Yue Qianchou with a smile.

Guan Yu caressed his beard and moustache as he was thinking. He pulled out the long sword from his waist, picked the reins on the two horses, removed the saddles, then swung the sword to smack the two horses' butts. The two horses gave a loud hissing as they felt the pain and ran unrestrained into the forest.

"Oh! You have a good heart, but i'm afraid there are a lot of ferocious beasts in this kind of remote place. I don't think they can survive." Said Yue Qianchou as he shook his head.

Guan Yu looked at him for a moment then looked toward the two horses. He said, "It's up to their will and fate! That is not something that we can manage. Let's go." Not long after, the hissing resounded and the two horses came back again.

Guan Yu was a bit dumbfounded, Yue Qianchou stared him as he smiled and said, "These two horses are accustomed to being domesticated, they simply can't live in the wilderness, the droppings of the wild beast probably scared them back. Forget it, your boss is also kind-hearted." Yue Qianchou came toward the two horses and reached out with his hands, the two horses suddenly disappeared. Finished, Yue Qianchou glanced toward Guan Yu who was still in daze, he waved his hand and said, "What are you standing there for? Let's go! I have sent those two to my big sister."

Guan Yu shook his head and said, "I'm not in a daze, i'm just thinking how mysterious you two are and what kind of place your big sister is living at." Afterward, he walked toward the valley in a curiosity.

"This is a good time to talk to you about it, tell me what exactly is this Hundred Flowers Palace..." Said Yue Qianchou.

"The Hundred Flowers Sect was founded not long ago, it was probably less than two hundred years. It was also related to the Immortal-Enchanting Island. One of the Hundred Flowers Sect Founder was actually the daughter of Immortal-Enchanting Island Sect Leader. Surprisingly, she fell in love with the son of the lord of the 'Myriad Devil Palace' and the two became a wife and husband. At that time, there was a big problem. One one side was the leading sect of the right path and the other was the leading sect of the devil path. The leaders of each faction decided to drive out the two people out of their sects. Having lost the qualification of being the future leader of their sects, the couple built the Hundred Flowers Palace here. The Hundred Flowers Palace is considered to be the alternative of cultivation, you can't say it is the right path nor the devil path. For this reason, the Hundred Flowers Valley where the Hundred Flowers Palace is located has become a trading place for cultivators from everywhere. It is not strange to see cultivators from both paths to do business with each other there."

"Oh! That's interesting, I look forward to it," Said Yue Qianchou followed by a laugh.

The two of them walked and talked to each other toward the deep fog between the mountains. The dense fog between the mountains was very strange, the fog didn't get scattered even with a strong blow of wind. The two people finally stopped in front of a dense fog, Guan Yu took out a jade token and infused true Qi inside. The jade token shot a white light toward the depths of the fog. The dense fog suddenly separated from the centre showing a road. Guan Yu said, "Don't run, walk along the road."

The two people walked ahead, behind them the fog slowly closed again. Seeing this, Yue Qianchou was surprised, he thought that even the top technology of the past life wouldn't be able to achieve it. Not long afterwards, a huge city gates appeared before them and several armed cultivators were guarding at the entrance. One of the cultivators took a glance and said nothing.

Guan Yu pulled Yue Qianchou and said, "Daoist friends, this is my friend's first time here, he needs a token to get in and out."

A cultivator sat behind a desk took a look at Yue Qianchou, he opened the book on the desk, picked a pen and said, "Name? Which sect?"

"Yue Qianchou, i don't belong to any sect," Replied Yue Qianchou without any hesitation. Before coming, Guan Yu had explained to him about the registration.

"Hundred Flowers token for entry and exit pass, one mid-grade or one hundred-low grade spirit stones," Said the cultivator lightly.

Yue Qianchou nodded, he inserted his hand to pick something from inside his robes on the stomach area, a mid-grade spirit stone on his hand was handed out. Guan Yu's eyebrows lifted up, he remembered that this guy had a lot of spirit stones.

The cultivator took out a jade token for Yue Qianchou to inject true Qi inside, then he also pointed toward the jade token as a white light flashed into it. After the token was handed to Yue Qianchou, it was finished.

"This registration is really simple." Yue Qianchou felt the jade token in his hand. Guan Yu smiled and said, "It seems simple, but if you can't infuse true Qi, you can't enter at all."

Passing through the city gates, Yue Qianchou eyes became bright. It was unexpected that there was such a wonderful place on the remote mountains. Various shops and stall vendors were everywhere, cultivators wearing various robes were coming in and out.
