Chapter 67 Mantuo Villa
What the hell was General Wu? Was there such a figure in the Wu family? Wu Chengyu looked puzzled, while the people around him laughed.

Wu Zhengliang patted Wu Zhenghui on the shoulder and said, "Tell Little Twenty-One nicely. Also, the ancestor is the elder, don't make fun of the elders."

Wu Zhenghui stuffed a piece of meat into his mouth and said vaguely, "I originally asked around but got nothing. Then I remembered you said that the Murong family was a hundred-year-old family. Then I remembered that there is still a hundred-year-old ancestor alive in my family.

The old ancestor is of the eldest generation, and his great-grandson is of the same generation as you. He has been fond of literature and disliked martial arts since he was a child, so he was sent to Hangzhou Academy to study. He passed the imperial examination and got married a few days ago. The old man liked this great-grandson the most, and since he was in good health, he ran to Hangzhou to visit him. He stayed there for half a year and just came back a few days ago.

I went to visit him and after asking him, I learned that there was indeed such a Murong family a hundred years ago, and our ancestor had met the head of the Murong family when he was a child.

The old man had a nickname of General Wu, which was actually related to the Murong family. It was said that the head of the Murong family went crazy for some reason and loved to play house with the children of Gusu. He proclaimed himself the emperor of Dayan and gave official titles and made wishes to the children around him. Our ancestor was given the official title of General Yingyang at that time.

A hundred years passed in a flash, and the old man finally remembered these things. He told me the location of the Murong family's Swallow Valley. Based on the location of Swallow Valley and your description, I also found the island full of camellias you mentioned about ten miles away from Swallow Valley by water.

This is the map I drew. We have a boat at home. You can find some time to have the servants row the boat out to find the islands. However, I don’t know how long these two islands have been abandoned, so I don’t think you will find anything. But I have finally done what I promised you.

How about this, this news is enough to buy you a few jars of wine, right? "

Yes, of course. Wu Chengyu wished she could give him a hundred more jars. Now she could finally put her mind at ease. Traveling to the world of The Legend of the Condor Heroes, who wouldn't want to find those magical skills and secret manuals that she had heard about since childhood? The others were too far away. Only the Murong family and Wu Chengyu were in Gusu.

How can I justify this journey if I don't search at such a close distance, even though Wu Chengyu never thought that traveling here was a good thing.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, even the hot pot soup was drunk up by Wu Zhenghui. When the uncles and aunts left, Wu Zhengliang pointed to the pot with only the greasy liquid left.

Wu Chengyu immediately understood: "I'll write down the recipe for the base sauce and send it to Fourth Uncle tomorrow."

Wu Zhengliang was very satisfied. Who wouldn't like such a knowledgeable, interesting, and capable nephew? "Very good. Now the Third House's main business is the several restaurants in Gusu City. This antique soup is very delicious. The aroma fills the air once it's cooked, and guests flock to it. It's especially useful in the cold winter. When the restaurant makes some profit, I'll give you 30%."

The next morning, Wu Chengyu couldn't wait to go to the Wu family's exclusive pier to take a boat trip.

This pier is the shortest distance to the Wang family's island. After more than half an hour, Wu Chengyu reached the ruins of the Wang family's Mantuo Villa.

Things have changed and people have changed. The island is now completely deserted and uninhabited. Only the camellia flowers that can be seen everywhere still carry the lingering charm of the past.

Within the radius of Gusu City, only here are the camellias in the largest and most vibrant blooms. Unfortunately, no one has taken care of them for a hundred years, and they have long since become wild flowers, no longer as glorious as they once were with the Eighteen Scholars, the Beauty with a Scratched Face, and the Three Heroes of the Wind and Dust.

The people and things in this world cannot withstand the passage of time, only these flowers and plants bloom and wither over the years. These camellias grow wildly all over the island. It seems that the flower fertilizers made by humans back then have at least nourished the land here for a hundred years.

As Wu Chengyu walked towards the depths of the island, he opened his five senses and gradually perceived everything around him. There were no large animals on the island, only rats and wild snakes that were scared away by him from time to time. In addition, he also saw scattered human bones, which he thought were turned out from the ground by some small animals.

After half an incense stick of time, Wu Chengyu saw some broken walls and ruins before his eyes. It seemed that this was Mantuo Villa. He walked forward, constructing a three-dimensional dynamic map in his mind as he walked. He could see the entire area within a hundred meters. Unfortunately, apart from some broken bowls and broken windows, he found nothing.

Then he walked through all the ruins and soon found an abandoned house that was suspected to be the Langhuan Jade Cave. Inside the abandoned house were some dilapidated bookcases, which were empty. It seemed that this was where the martial arts of various schools were placed.

Back then, Wang Yuyan must have sat quietly by the window every day, looking at the camellia flowers outside, feeling the breeze from Taihu Lake, flipping through books one by one and memorizing them. In Jin Yong's world, she is the only one who doesn't know martial arts but knows all the moves by heart, and can tell the characteristics of a school and martial arts as soon as others start fighting.

When Wu Chengyu thought of this, he couldn't help but imagine what this fairy sister was like back then.

Especially Wang Yuyan and her mother Li Qingluo, and the Western Xia concubine Li Qiushui. Wang Yuyan is a graceful young girl, Li Qingluo is a charming young woman, and Li Qiushui is the mature version of eternal youth. Three generations of grandparents and grandchildren have the same peerless beauty. Hiss, Wu Chengyu took a long breath.

It's a pity that I didn't have the chance to see it. When it comes to the number of beauties, The Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils has to be the best. The Legend of the Condor Heroes pales in comparison.

Wu Chengyu searched Mantuo Villa two or three times, but still found nothing. With his extraordinary five senses, it was impossible for him to miss anything.

It seems that the trip to Mantuo Villa is doomed to gain nothing. Wu Chengyu was a little disappointed but not much. The Wang family is different from the Murong family. After Li Qingluo's death, the Wang family only has Wang Yuyan. She married Duan Yu, and everything in Mantuo Villa must have been taken to Dali as a dowry, which benefited the Duan family of Dali for nothing.

The reason why he came here without giving up was just to be on the safe side. Without this trip, Wu Chengyu would not be able to let go.

After all, in Wu Chengyu's mind, the martial arts in the Langhuan Jade Cave should be superior to those in the Murong family's Huanshi Water Pavilion. After all, it is a collection from the Xiaoyao Sect. However, with the ungrateful Wang Yuyan, it is estimated that a lot of it was copied by Murong Fu back then.

Wu Chengyu casually picked a light pink camellia, which had a strong fragrance. Since the Eighteen Scholars were missing, he could just treat this flower as a failed scholar, so his trip was not in vain.

He walked out of the island and got back on the boat. This time, his destination was the former residence of the Murong family: Yanziwu Chanhe Villa.

This time Wu Chengyu was a little nervous. After a hundred years of rise and fall, who knew what was left of the Murong family now? After Murong Fu, the Murong family gradually declined and there was no news of them. The people of Gusu today had no idea how powerful Nan Murong was in Gusu back then.

He had read a lot of martial arts fan fiction. Like him, if you went to the ruins of Chanhe Village, you would always get something. Basically, Dou Zhuan Xing Yi and Chanhe Finger were indispensable. But he was in the real world now, and who knew if he had this luck.

I think that unless the Murong family encountered a sudden change and just moved away with their whole family, how could they just throw away the secret books in the Shishui Pavilion here?

Wu Chengyu was drooling over the Murong family's martial arts, especially Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, which was directly related to whether the method of protecting the way in Quan Xing's mind method could be cultivated. If he couldn't find Dou Zhuan Xing Yi, he could only find a way to go to Guangmingding in the Western Regions and try the Mingjiao's Qiankun Da Neng Yi.

If he had not had much hope at first when he went to Mantuo Villa, just wanting to pay homage to the former residence of a beauty, then Yanziwu was related to the success or failure of his trip.

Many people guess that General Wu is Wu San Tong, but he is not. I don’t like this guy very much. When I wrote this paragraph, the last clip of Tian Long was in my mind, which was the scene where Murong Fu went crazy and took the child to confer an official title.
