Xinbaixu: The Romance of the New Moon-Twenty-Five-Revisiting Qibao Mountain in the Old Land(2/3)
"Where?" Everyone looked in her direction, but there was no one there.
"It's right in front, don't you see?"
"Where did the old man come from? Are you dazzled?" Yu Yan looked in that direction again, but there was still no one there.
"Gu'an, didn't you see it?" Qingyue asked.
"No, Xiaoshan, have you seen it?" He turned to ask Xiaoshan.
"Me neither, what about you?"
"None of them, Sister Qingyue, what did you see?" Yun'er asked her in surprise.
"Didn't you see it?" Qingyue stepped forward step by step, only to see nothing.
"The old man was wearing red and green clothes, with white hair, a long beard, and a hat. He was sitting there fishing with a kind face." Qingyue said as she walked.
"Sister Qingyue, what's wrong with you?" Yun'er rushed over and grabbed her.
"It's nothing, maybe my eyesight is dazzled." Qingyue was confused.
"You haven't seen a ghost, have you?" Yuyan said suddenly.
"Ghost? It's so scary." Xiaorou instinctively grabbed Gu'an's arm who was standing aside.
"Don't be afraid. Ghosts are nothing to be afraid of. As long as everyone is in peace, we can coexist peacefully." As soon as Gu'an finished speaking, Qingyue immediately looked at him.
‘What’s so scary about ghosts? As long as everyone is in peace, we can coexist peacefully.’ These words echoed repeatedly in Qingyue’s mind.
"The words are so familiar, I feel like I have heard them somewhere." The voice was as familiar as breathing, but who said it? She touched her head and shook it, trying to remember.
"Qingyue, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable?" Gu'an stepped forward to ask, and Qingyue shook her head.
"We'd better go down quickly. The sun is going down soon. It's a bit eerie here." Xiaorou trembled all over.
"Ah? We haven't climbed to the top of the mountain yet." Yu Yan said with a frown.
"Come down the mountain, come back another day." Xiao Shan led everyone down the mountain, and Yu Yan had to follow.
"Finally we're down. I'll separate you first and then take care of you one by one." The beetle spirit glared and said secretly from afar. He pointed and two roads immediately appeared.
"Hey, why are there two roads going down the mountain? There was only one when we came up just now." Yuyan looked at the forked road two days ahead and wondered.
"Yeah, that's weird." Xiaoshan scratched his forehead.
"Maybe there are two of them, we didn't see them just now?" Xiaorou said.
"But Sister Qingyue said just now that there is only one way up and down the mountain. Now there are two. It's really evil." Yun'er said.
"Is this the legendary ghost beating the wall?" Yu Yan said.
"Ghost beating the wall?" Everyone looked at her in surprise. When Qingyue heard these three words, her forehead was shocked again.
"Yu Yan, don't scare me anymore, I'm so scared." Xiaorou was shaking all over and tears were about to flow out.
"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Look at her, she must be making up nonsense. Where did she come from?" Gu'an said on the side.
"I'm not lying. I heard my grandma say before that the mountain road is very rugged, and there will be ghosts hitting the wall. Some people will disappear while walking." Yu Yan said excitedly.
"Stop talking, you didn't see Xiaorou scared like this, and you still said it." Yun'er supported Xiaorou and shouted to stop her, while Yuyan covered her mouth and snickered.
"Then which way should we take now?" Xiaoshan asked.
"Whoever goes my way today, I will send him to the west." The beetle spirit said cruel words secretly.
"Let's take the original path and return the same way." Qingyue suddenly woke up and said decisively.
"Yes, you can definitely go back the way you came." Gu'an agreed.
"Aren't you going this way?" Yu Yan asked.
"If you want to leave, you can go alone. We'd better walk here obediently," Yun'er said.
"Just go. I grew up in the mountains. Am I still afraid of this mountain road?" With that, Yuyan walked towards the other road.
"Yuyan, don't be ridiculous, follow us quickly." Xiaoshan caught up with her, grabbed her arm and dragged her back to the team.
"I..., okay, let's go this way." She broke away from Xiaoshan's hand and reluctantly obeyed, so everyone followed the original route down the mountain.
"Damn it, you didn't go this way." The beetle spirit immediately transformed into a Taoist and walked over.
"You guys are staying here, are you going down the mountain?" he shouted to them.
"Where did you come from?" Xiaoshan said.
"Pingdao has been meditating there just now, didn't you see?" He pointed to the grass in the distance.
"What's the matter with Taoist Master?" Gu'an asked.
"If you want to go down the mountain, it's closer to take this way." He pointed to the road he drove.
"Thank you, Taoist Priest, for your kindness. Let's take that route." Gu'an said.
"Why don't you take the shortcut when there is one, and why should you sacrifice the near for the far?"
"We also want to see the scenery along the road again, so it doesn't matter if we walk a little longer." Gu'an said and continued to turn back and walk forward.
"Young people don't even dare to try this. It's true that one generation is inferior to the other." He deliberately used words to irritate them.
"Hey, stinky Taoist priest, what did you say? Who said we don't dare to try?" Yu Yan screamed unconvinced.
"Girl, please don't be angry. Pingdao is just kindly telling you which road is nearby. There is no ill intention. It's up to you to go or not." The beetle spirit stood there proudly.
"If you tell us to leave, we will leave. That's not too spineless. Let's just go the original way. Ignore him and leave!" Yu Yan gave the order and everyone followed her.
'You bitches, you ruined my plan. If you are smart today, I will let you go. We will come back to settle the accounts another day.' The beetle spirit calmed down and watched them walk down the mountain.
Escort agency.
"Where have you been and why are you back?" When Xiangqiao saw her children coming back, she went to greet them.
"I'm going to play in the back mountain." Yu Yan replied.
"Back Mountain? Qibao Mountain?" Baoshan's eyes lit up.
"Yeah, it was fun, but it's a pity that we didn't climb to the top of the mountain. Uncle Qi, let's go climb together another day."
"Okay, I haven't been to Qibao Mountain for a long time."
"But we encountered a very strange thing when we were going down the mountain." Xiaoshan said.
"What's going on?" Xiangqiao asked.
"When we went up the mountain, it was obviously one road, but when we came down, it turned into two roads."
"What? Is it true?" Baoshan's eyes widened, remembering that he, Shilin, and Bilian also encountered such a thing in the past. As a result, he and Bilian were still trapped on the mountain. There was indeed only one way to go there later.
road.
"Yes, there was a smelly Taoist priest who kept asking us to go to that road that suddenly appeared, but we didn't listen to him," Yu Yan said.
"Yeah, I'm scared just thinking about it now." Xiaorou said next to Xiangqiao.
"Don't go to Qibao Mountain again. None of you are allowed to go." Baoshan suddenly said seriously.
"But Uncle Qi, didn't you just promise me to go climbing together another day?" Yu Yan looked at his abnormality.
"Anyway, I said you're not allowed to go. It would be terrible if something happens." Baoshan said firmly and walked out of the hall.
"Yes, you all heard it, don't go there again." Xiangqiao warned them and followed them in.
"Did you hear that? My father said you are not allowed to go there in the future." Xiao Shan pointed at the tip of Yu Yan's nose and looked gloating.
"You men, falling out is like turning over a book, huh!" Yu Yan returned to the house unhappily. Xiaoshan was left with a confused look on her face as she said this. Xiaorou pursed her lips and smiled when she saw this.
After dinner, Baoshan immediately went to Xu Mansion to discuss Yuyan's matter with Shilin.
"You know, they went to Qibao Mountain today and encountered strange things."
"What's weird?"
"When we went there before, we found two mountain roads. Then Bilian and I were trapped in the mountain. They also encountered it today."
"Oh..., how are they doing?"
"They are smarter than us. It will be fine if we return the same way. But I still think this matter is mysterious, so I came to see you." Baoshan kept talking. At this time, Shilin remembered the first time he met Mei Niang.
"oops."
"Miss, the mountain road is rugged, are you not injured?"
"Yes... yes, a little injury, it's not a problem."
"It's okay, come on."
"Thank you, sir, you are so kind."
"Wow, you are so ugly."
"Ah~~~."
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I didn't mean it. Miss, a person's appearance is not the most important, inner beauty is the most valuable. You see, women's virtue, appearance, and work all put virtue first.
"Oh, I'm superficial. Please forgive me, Miss. Don't be sad. I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile.
