Chapter 774

~5 min read 857 words

Island Master Long laughed loudly:

"It's a pity that the 'Laba Porridge' hasn't been cooked yet, why doesn't Young Master Gu stroll around Knight Island with us first?"

Gu Hanyuan asked a question he already knew the answer to:

"Gu is also very curious about Knight Island. But what is this 'Laba Porridge'?"

The two led Gu Hanyuan into the island.

Island Master Long said tentatively:

"The most important ingredient of this 'Laba Porridge', the 'Heart-Rotting Grass', is a specialty of this island, and its efficacy is only apparent after it blooms. But this grass only blooms once every ten years. We always have to wait for it to bloom before inviting fellow martial artists to come here and share it, counting on our fingers, this is the fourth time we have invited them.

However, this year, only Young Master Gu has the good fortune to taste it."

Upon hearing this, Gu Hanyuan smiled indifferently.

"'Heart-Rotting Grass' sounds like the name of a poison, using poison to cook porridge is quite original."

Seeing Gu Hanyuan's light and breezy manner, with no fear at all, Island Masters Long and Mu.

Smiled at each other.

Island Master Long explained with a smile:

"Haha, if this grass is paired with other medicinal ingredients and cooked into hot porridge, drinking it not only warms the heart but can also strengthen the body, and it is of great benefit to martial artists of our generation after taking it."

Gu Hanyuan said with feigned regret:

"So that's how it is, then it was Gu who meddled in other people's business and ruined others' opportunities."

Island Masters Long and Mu did not take this to heart.

Island Master Mu said:

"Luck is also a kind of strength. Inviting only Young Master Gu this year might actually help us achieve our long-cherished wish."

Gu Hanyuan accompanied the two in acting.

"How so?"

The two led Gu Hanyuan into the stone chambers of Knight Island.

Island Master Long pointed to the several people in front who were looking at the murals with obsession.

Their hands and feet were gesturing various moves from time to time.

And from time to time they sat on the ground in a daze, deep in thought.

Or arguing with those next to them about the meaning of every word...

These people were like rustic pedants.

Just biting and chewing on words here.

Not knowing that they had long since gone astray.

"Young Master Gu, please look, those are the martial artists who were invited to Knight Island in the early years and never went back. Master Miaodi of North Shaolin and Daoist Priest Yucha of the Shangqing Temple of Wudang are among them."

Gu Hanyuan asked:

"Is it because of the murals on the wall?"

I saw that a mural was carved on the wall of the stone chamber.

What was drawn on it was indeed a young scholar.

Holding a fan in his left hand and flying his palm with his right.

His demeanor was very elegant and dashing.

On the side were also carved the lines of poetry "Zhao Ke Man Hu Ying" and various annotations.

Island Master Long said:

"Our two brothers discovered a map back then, and after carefully studying the small characters noted beside the map, we learned that on the nameless desert island depicted in the map, there is a heaven-shaking and earth-shattering martial arts secret hidden."

Island Master Mu also added:

"This martial art was carved on the murals of the twenty-four stone chambers on Knight Island. For so many years, we have only comprehended less than one or two out of ten. That is why we widely invited martial artists to come and help crack it."

Gu Hanyuan smiled lightly:

"The two island masters are kind-hearted, but it's a pity that people in the Jianghu view Knight Island as a place of tigers and wolves."

Regarding Gu Hanyuan's words.

Both of them had a non-committal attitude.

Although they were not stubborn.

And were quite reasonable.

But they acted like omnipotent gods rewarding good and punishing evil.

In reality, they were extremely arrogant people.

Seeing that Gu Hanyuan was not immediately attracted by the murals in the stone chambers.

Both felt a little surprised.

After all, most people would soon become obsessed with the martial arts on the murals and be unable to extricate themselves after coming here.

For so many years, only Gu Hanyuan was unique.

It was precisely this uniqueness that made the two pin high hopes on Gu Hanyuan.

Island Master Long took the initiative to propose:

"The 'Laba Porridge' hasn't been cooked yet, why doesn't Young Master Gu watch the murals first?"

"Good."

Gu Hanyuan agreed with a smile.

He focused his attention on the murals on the wall.

Gu Hanyuan, who knew "Ode to Gallantry," knew that these annotations and even the poems themselves were used to mislead people.

These people had spent decades without researching anything.

As a result, the secret was cracked by the illiterate Shi Potian.

Gu Hanyuan would naturally not be misled.

Looking at the green-clothed scholar drawn on the mural.

He soon gained something.
