Tai Taeyang, Tai Tai and Lan stood in front of the cultivational house.
“Master Choi’s shrine. The Rain Shrine!”, Lan exclaims.
Tai Taeyang with an unsure face asks, “Master Choi?”
Tai Tai speaks up too, stroking his chin, “Isn’t he the legendary first-class cultivator?”
Lan confirms.
Tai Tai with much joy and shocked tone, “Wow, never thought I would ever be able to meet him in person.”
While walking, “How can his disciple get attacked by evil spells?” He continues, “I heard his disciples are very strong and even their clothes have holy spells on them.” Lan is somehow very confused.
Tai Taeyang says, “We will find out after we go inside”, with a serious face. Tai Tai nods.
Inside the shrine, Master Choi is training his disciples. Sword flying left and right, boys jumping in sync, white robes flapping one by one each time the boys lift their legs and hands. The scene is like a group of young boys’ sword dancing. Tai Taeyang, Tai Tai and Lan bows, “Greetings, Master Choi.”
“Lan, first young disciple, second young disciple, come. Welcome to The Rain Shrine.” Master Choi welcomes them.
“Master Choi, pleasure to meet you. We have come here for a reason.” Tai Taeyang says hurriedly. To which Master Choi replies, “What is it?” “Can we see those teenagers, who are affected by moon patches?” Lan requests.
Master Choi sighs, “So you know about moon patches too?”
Tai Tai replies with, “Yes, actually one of us are affected by too.” Tai Taeyang adds, “We are here to check those patches.”
Master Choi, “fine” “bring those five teenagers here at the lawn”, he proceeds to order someone, probably the servants. They said, yes and immediately brings out the five teens who are being laid to a wooden stretcher. Tai Tai immediately gets close and starts inspection. He checks for a while and found the marks. “Huh? They're smaller than mine..." It rendered Tai Tai confused. But without wasting any more time, they greet Master Choi and carry on their journey.
During the time while walking, Tai Tai founds reserved in thoughts. He unconsciously sighs few times too. Lan noticed and asks about the reason of him sighing so many times. In reply Tai Tai says, “Before you came to The Sun Sect, Taiyang City, I was also attacked with moon patches. No doctors can bring out the reason, which is why we set off to find the books here the reasons are written”
Lan hums.
Tai Taeyang suddenly talks after a long time, “Did you see Tai Tai, the patches on them were not so deep unlike yours and uncle’s.” Lan surprised, he jerks his head and faces towards Tai Taeyang, which caused his neck to click a little in which he left out an ‘ah’ sound, “Eh, uncle too?” “Not so long after Tai Tai” Tai Taeyang sighs.
Three of them talking and walking through the woods. Suddenly the grasses on the sides of the path grows blue gradually as they walk further.
Tai Taeyang immediately stands on-guard, raises his left hand and stops Tai Tai who was behind him walking with Lan. Tai Tai stops too. “Isn’t this strange?” Tai Tai asks.
Lan, “Huh! What?” he is confused by the sudden stoppage of the other two and sudden question.
Tai Taeyang looks down to see the path that is yet to cover is surrounded by blue grasses, “grasses are blue here unlike other parts of the forest.” Tai Tai agrees too.
Lan, “Blue grass?” he bends down took a clear look, “Blue Fescue!”
Tai Taeyang asks, what?
Lan says, ‘We are here.’
Tai Taeyang and Tai Tai asks confusedly and in sync, “What?” Tai Taeyang is now angry, he kind of screams and says, “What nonsense are you spouting?”
Lan hurriedly says, putting both of his hands in front of his face, in a defending manner, “Blue fescue is a type of rare grass. Which is ornamental, but is also used to cure several rare diseases.”
Tai Taeyang, gets dejected, “oh” he says silently.
Tai Tai makes an ‘o’ mouth. Then why did you say we are here? Lan replies, “We are close to our master min’s place.” Tai exclaims I joy and tiredness, “What? Really?” Lan says yes, “My Master has high talent of medical skills too.” He continues, “He visited abroad once and learned about blue fescue. As its rare, he brought some seedlings and grew them. Even now he grows seedlings from old fescues.” He ends.
Tai Taeyang says, “You said, we are here then how come I don’t see any shrine or residence here?”
Lan smiles, more like chuckles. “Heh! One meter of area, our master kept aside for blue fescue, passing exact distance of one meter, there is a shrine, where resides our master min.”
In a Knick of time, they reached Master Min’s shrine- ‘The Peace Shrine.’
In the entrance, on a big board its written ‘The Peace Shrine’.
The environment is full of green and blue grasses with bamboo forest surrounding the whole shrine premises, as if the bamboos are there to act like a barrier, a protection shield from outer world. A mysterious entanglement of words is written on each of the bamboos, which means the bamboo forest is actually there for protection purpose.
A rule board is also there. A few sets of rules are written on the board, some are related to the bamboo forest as well. Tai Tai can see one of them while passing through the rule board, “Do not rub on the entanglement of words on any bamboo.” He kind of read it aloud. Hearing which, Lan chuckles, “It is said that the bamboo tress are very sacred, once a boy tried to erase the entanglement of words, and you know what happened to the boy?” He asks Tai Tai and Tai Taeyang, “he got gobbled into the woods and no one can find him again.” He also says, “Of course these are myths, no one saw it happening, so its kind of a myth we follow here.
