Transmigrating to become Hua Qiangu

Chapter 39: Hua Gu and the Others' Journey to Mount Shu

The group quickened their pace and headed towards Mount Shu. Along the way, Tang Bao chattered incessantly.

"Wow, Mommy, look how beautiful the scenery of Mount Shu is as we get closer! Those flowers are blooming so brightly, it feels like they're welcoming us!" Tang Bao excitedly pointed to the colorful wildflowers by the roadside. At this moment, she still had the charming appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl.

Hua Qiangu smiled and nodded, "Yes, Tang Bao, I hope this beautiful scenery can stay this beautiful forever, and not be ruined by those with ill intentions."

The adorable baby jumped around and shouted in a childish voice, "I want to protect the flowers and plants here, and everyone in Shushan! If anyone dares to cause trouble, I'll fight them!"

Tangxin smiled and patted the baby's head, "You're so brave, but don't be too reckless when the time comes. Listen to everyone."

At this moment, Master Qingxu, disguised as Junior Brother Qingfeng, became serious. "Listen up, everyone. We're about to reach the gate of Mount Shu. Be careful once we go in. Even though I'm disguised, there's no guarantee that nothing unexpected might happen. Everyone must remain vigilant at all times."

Hua Qiangu quickly replied, "Don't worry, Daoist Master, we will be careful. But, what should we do first after we go in?"

Master Qingxu pondered for a moment and said, "I'll first appear as Junior Brother Qingfeng to interact with those disciples, sound them out, and see what the situation is like inside Mount Shu. Hua Qiangu, you just stay aside with the token and observe, don't reveal your identity too easily."

Tang Bao frowned, somewhat worried, and said, "Daoist Master, what if they become suspicious of you? What if they want to investigate your identity more closely? Won't you be exposed?"

Master Qingxu smiled slightly and patted the name tag on his body. "Don't worry, Tangbao. With this name tag, I can handle most checks. And I'll be careful and try not to give anything away. If we encounter any tricky situations, we can figure out a solution together."

The adorable baby puffed out its little chest and said loudly, "That's right, we're not afraid of difficulties! If there's any problem, we can solve it together!"

Tang Xin nodded in agreement, "Yes, that's right. But once we're inside, we need to be careful about our words and actions, and make sure we behave like disciples of the Shu Mountain Sect. We can't let anyone notice anything unusual."

Hua Qiangu took a deep breath and said firmly, "Okay, everyone remember that. We've come here to help restore peace to Mount Shu and to bring those who have committed evil deeds to justice! No matter what, we must do this well!"

Before long, the group arrived at the gate of Mount Shu. The gate was tall and ancient, and the various runes carved on it shone faintly in the sunlight, as if telling the story of Mount Shu's long history and mysterious past.

The two disciples guarding the gate saw them and immediately stepped forward to question them.

One of the disciples sized up Master Qingxu, who was actually his junior brother Qingfeng in disguise, and asked, "Who comes here? This is a forbidden area of ​​Mount Shu. No unauthorized persons are allowed to enter."

Master Qingxu calmly cupped his hands in a respectful bow and, mimicking his junior brother Qingfeng's tone, said, "My two junior brothers, I am Qingfeng. I haven't been back to Mount Shu for a long time. Hearing that Mount Shu is in trouble, I have come to offer my assistance." As he spoke, he even deliberately showed off his name tag.

Another disciple took the name tag and examined it, then frowned slightly. "Senior Brother Qingfeng? I've never heard of you before."

Master Qingxu felt a pang of anxiety, but remained calm on the surface, smiling as he said, "Ah, I travel far and wide all year round and rarely return to the mountain, so it's normal that my fellow disciples don't recognize me. But this name tag can't be faked, so I hope my two junior disciples will be accommodating and allow us to enter the mountain so that we can do our part for Mount Shu."

Hua Qiangu clenched her fists quietly, feeling a little nervous, afraid that she wouldn't be able to get through this ordeal.

Tang Bao leaned close to Hua Qiangu's ear and whispered, "Mommy, don't worry, the Taoist priest will definitely be able to handle it."

Just then, an older disciple walked out of the door. When he saw Master Qingxu, a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes. "Qingfeng? That name sounds familiar, but I just can't remember what he looks like."

Master Qingxu inwardly groaned, but still forced himself to speak, "Senior brother, I have been wandering outside for many years, and my appearance may have changed a little, but my heart for Mount Shu has never changed. Please be lenient and let us enter the mountain."

The older disciple stared at Master Qingxu for a long while before slowly saying, "Alright, alright. Since you have a nameplate and see your sincerity, we'll let you in. But once you're inside, you must abide by the rules of Mount Shu."

Master Qingxu quickly expressed his gratitude, "Thank you so much, Senior Brother! I certainly will!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and followed them into Mount Shu.

As soon as she entered the mountain, Hua Qiangu couldn't help but whisper, "Oh dear, that really scared me to death. I thought we wouldn't be able to get in."

Tang Bao giggled, "Mommy, I told you not to worry! The Taoist priest is so amazing!"

Master Qingxu, however, looked grave. “Don’t be too happy yet. This is only the first step. We don’t know how many troubles await us. We need to act according to the plan as soon as possible and find out the current situation of Mount Shu.”

The adorable baby waved his little hand and said, "Okay, okay, let's get started!"

Thus, the group began further exploration within Mount Shu. Along the way, they encountered various Mount Shu disciples and experienced many unexpected situations. Everyone was working hard to help Mount Shu restore peace and prepare to face the many challenges to come.
