Bevan Mountain

After passing Taihe Mountain, You'er followed the mark left by Fu Nanxing all the way to the north without stopping.

She arrived in a small town late at night.When people were tired and horses were exhausted, they randomly found an inn to rest.

The waiter in the store was soundly asleep when he was awakened by a knock on the door.I had no choice but to get up gropingly, Mimi stared and took You'er to find an empty room to live in, and went back to sleep again.

Forgot to leave oil and fire in the house, You'er didn't bother to ask Xiao Er to get it.He only opened the window, and took a brief look at the furnishings in the house by the moonlight.

The bed, table and chairs were fairly tidy, and there was a picture hanging on the wall.You'er walked over, it was a light crimson landscape painting, the strokes were not delicate enough, but the coloring was somewhat elegant.

On the narrow bridge between the mountains in the painting, a delicate woman in green clothes smiles lightly and looks at the water.

You'er doesn't know much about painting, and after only a few glances at it, he yawned so sleepy that he stopped paying attention, fell out of bed and fell asleep.

In the middle of the night, the room was so quiet that You'er's even breathing could be heard.The moonlight moved a little bit, and it was shining on a corner of the painting on the wall.

The picture scroll trembled slightly, and then returned to smoothness.Not long after, he shook the rope several times in a row, and finally the room became peaceful again.

The day and night are unknown in the mountains, only the autumn leaves are rustling and swaying in the wind.The mountain road is winding and the ground is full of vermilion and stones. You'er walks in a hurry, trying to distinguish a stone and a tree. This is not Luofu Mountain, nor Jiuning Mountain, nor Taihe Mountain...not any mountain she has been to.

In the pale ochre-colored sky, there is no sun or moon, and it is really dark.You'er walked for an unknown amount of time before seeing a narrow bridge below, but he didn't reach it after walking for a long time.

Instead, he ran into a woman in green who came up first, that woman was delicate and charming, with a pretty face full of spring.

Covering his teeth and smiling, the green leaves are full of shades, spring flowers are blooming everywhere, covering the entire mountain road under his feet, and his nose is filled with a strange fragrance.

You'er was amazed at the sudden change of the surrounding scenery, raised his foot, and found that the pink flowers he stepped on just now were still fresh and delicate.

The woman had already walked in front of her, Jiao Didi said: "The girl is waiting for someone?"

You'er was a little dazed, and blurted out, "Yes..."

The woman in green suddenly came to her door, stared into her eyes, and bewitched in a low voice: "Let me see who the girl is waiting for."

You'er couldn't move his eyes, he stood there stupidly, and was about to ask what kind of mountain it was, when the woman straightened up and stepped back, laughing: "Isn't it a coincidence! The girl is waiting for you, don't you?" Right there!"

You'er looked in the direction of her finger, and quietly walked out from behind the boulder not far away.

The man was wearing a white shirt, with a small black cloth bag on his back, and he was walking towards him along the flower path with a warm smile.

You'er's heart felt hot, and he resisted not calling her.Just red-eyed, watching her approach step by step, colorful petals splashed lightly around her feet, supporting the lonely corner of the moon-white clothes, against the jade face of that person, as beautiful as a dream.

Jiang Wuyue stood in front of her, looking at her with tenderness and sweetness, her clear and moist voice pierced her ears, as moist as spring rain: "You'er, long time no see."

You'er clenched his fists tightly, staring blankly at Jiang Wuyue without saying a word.

The woman in green also smiled at the right time: "Since it's been a long time, I'll see you again. As for me, I won't bother you two."

Jiang Wuyue led You'er through the strange flowers, walked to the narrow bridge that You'er saw just now and sat down.

You'er seemed a little nervous, just lowered his head and stared at the flowing water under the bridge, keeping silent.

Sitting beside her, Jiang Wuyue saw that she had been silent, so she asked with a smile, "You'er, do you think the scenery here is good?"

You'er nodded.

Jiang Wuyue asked again: "Then do you like it?"

You'er nodded again.

"You... don't you miss me? Why don't you look at me?"

You'er was silent for a while, and finally let go of the hand he had been clenching tightly, his eyes changed slightly, and he turned to look at Jiang Wuyue: "You..."

Before You'er finished speaking, he suddenly felt being pulled by a strong force, and the world was spinning in front of his eyes, making him dizzy, as if he was about to fall asleep...

There was no one in the dark backyard of the inn.

But under the eaves, a ball of fire suddenly rose up, only to go out after a while.

The pair of indifferent eyes reflected by the fire also disappeared back into the darkness as the fire was extinguished.

The man who lit the fire was about to leave when he heard footsteps coming directly, and the sound quickly came behind him, and then stopped.

The two stood like wooden stakes one after the other for a long time.The ashes of the drawing paper lay timidly on the ground, neither the wind nor the light, I don’t know how long the air will condense.

You'er imagined how he would be furious after seeing her.But when I saw it, I felt extremely flustered again, not to mention that now I had an extra rare treasure in my hand, which made my mouth soft.

Seeing the sky gradually see through, You'er's voice was hoarse, facing the back in purple clothes in front of him, he lowered his voice and said angrily: "It's all thanks to you! Disturbed my sleep!"

Jiang Wuyue turned around with an innocent face: "That's Hua Yao and Hu Lang..."

"I'm ashamed to mention Hu Lang!" Speaking of Hu Lang, You'er was furious again, "Go back to the room and talk about it!"

Before You'er opened her mouth, Jiang Wuyue was not very entangled at first, but she didn't dare to walk away. If she wanted to leave, she would definitely not be able to catch up with her.

On the contrary, as soon as she opened her mouth, although she began to hesitate, she turned back logically, and consciously led the way forward, turning sideways without daring to look at her, and walked back to the room she just came out of.

The two sat opposite each other with a bed and a chair.

You'er has been holding the treasure tightly in his hand, before looking at it carefully, he said to Jiang Wuyue in a cold voice: "Let's talk about Hu Lang first."

Jiang Wuyue couldn't help thinking, but I haven't seen him for more than half a year, why did this person become so fierce... He answered seriously: "I went to enter Baoju and found that you were not there, so I wanted to go to the north first. I saw you on the road Hu Lang, just realized that he was following you, so he followed you for a while, wanting to see what he was going to do.

Before you entered this room, he entered the painting first, I reckon it was to collude with the painting demon to confuse you.After you fall asleep, the painting demon will enter your dream and bring you into the painting..."

You'er's cheeks became hot: "Have you seen the scene after I entered the painting?"

"I saw..."

You'er froze, didn't know how to explain, only heard Jiang Wuyue say: "I saw you and Hu Lang sitting on the bridge."

The blush on You'er's face faded a little, and she just wanted to pat her chest and say "Thank God".

"I'm worried that your cultivation level is not enough, your concentration is not enough, and you will be confused by Hu Lang, so I pulled you out of the painting.

Then he took the painting out and burned it - after that, Hu Lang and the painting demon will be trapped in that scene and will not appear again. "

You'er pursed his lips and muttered in a low voice: "You know that I will definitely be deceived by him..."

"Isn't it?" Jiang Wuyue has good hearing, so she heard it clearly, "I saw that your eyes were red when you looked at him..."

"What are you going to the north for?" You'er quickly changed the subject.

"Find someone……"

"Who are you looking for? Master Bailu?"

"No, Master Bailu has indeed passed away many years ago."

"So you have been to Renshou Mountain? How did you know he passed away? Why didn't I see you when I went there? Why didn't the people living nearby see you? Who are you looking for now?"

You'er was surrounded by clouds and mist, and the more he asked, the more confused he became, "Oh, tell me from the beginning!"

Jiang Wuyue didn't start from the beginning, she just picked out one of the long list of questions: "Why did you go to Renshou Mountain to find me?"

That day at the fork at the foot of Taihe Mountain, You'er thought about it for a long time, thinking that his mind couldn't move anymore, his heart was particularly unwilling, and he was unwilling to do so.

Can I tell you that I went there on impulse?You'er feels that this answer is very flimsy, if it is a tenable answer...then she has to ask: "Is this answer important to you?"

It's important, but the future is uncertain, how should I continue?It's not important, so why ask more?

Jiang Wuyue straightened up from the back of the chair, bowed her head in thought for a moment, and simply skipped this question: "After the Taihe Mountain parted, I went to Renshou Mountain..."

You'er snorted lightly: "Well, tell me."

"I deliberately entered the mountain at night, so the nearby residents didn't see me. After dawn, I met a woodcutter in the mountain..."

"He lied to me!" You'er couldn't help but indignantly said, "He also told me that he had never seen you before!"

Jiang Wuyue smiled: "At first I didn't pay much attention to him, but I suddenly noticed that he was quietly observing my left eye—my left eye has never healed.

Although other people seem normal, I can always see white smoke floating in my eyes.

And that woodcutter, he was able to notice the strangeness of my eyes after meeting him, he was definitely not an ordinary woodcutter.

After he saw that there was a problem with my left eye, he looked very interested, and kept talking about it for a long time, wanting to know how I got hurt.

Therefore, I suspected that he had something to do with Master Bailu, so I directly asked him where Master Bailu was.

I expected that he would naturally answer that he didn't know, so I told him that I came from the southwest, and it was Master Bailu who asked me to come to him.

Then...he took me into a cave with the tomb of Daoist Bailu inside.

He is the disciple of Daoist Bailu.During the few days you came, he kept giving me needles and dressings in that cave.It took nearly a month before the Qianyuan light in my eyes was drained..."

Jiang Wuyue took a sneak peek at You'er, saw her staring at the ground blankly, shrank back in the chair unconsciously: "Afterwards, I went to the South China Sea and Huanqiu to find fire mouse hair and ice for Wei Ran. Silk. I don’t know how to make ready-made clothes, so I just took these two things and gave them to her, and let her find a way to make multicolored clothes. When she was happy, she summoned half of the spiritual energy in her body and gave me two pieces of jade. "

"And then?" You'er still sat on the edge of the bed indifferently, her tone of voice could not tell whether she liked or disliked.

"Then... I will go to Jinbaoju to give you jade..."

"What did you give me this jade for?"

"Thank you..."

"Then who are you looking for now?"

"I……"

Obviously, needless to say, You'er also knew that Jiang Wuyue's going to enter Baoju was just like now, she put it down quietly and left.

She doesn't care now that the woodcutter lied to her;

She didn't regret that she knew that Hu Lang was following her, but she didn't notice Jiang Wuyue;

It is even more impossible to remain indifferent to Jiang Wuyue risking danger for half a year for a colorful dress.

The jade in her hand had been held warm for a long time, she just gave some travel expenses in exchange for the treasure, which can be regarded as a return of kindness.

It's not that she is not used to Jiang Wuyue's way of getting along without asking if she doesn't talk.But until now...

When she listened to Jiang Wuyue's evasive answers to all her questions, she suddenly felt a strong sense of discouragement.

The sun has not yet risen, and there is only a layer of vague gray-white light floating in from the window in the room.

She spread out her palms, and in the dark inner room, there were two faint, translucent, overlapping soft lights, white and flawless, with no streaks in the light, as vigorous as a wrenching stone, and caressing them as if they were brushed by water.

You'er looked at the jade in his hand quietly, and his nightmare sounded like an idiot talking about a dream: "In Xumi Formation, since you dare to use witchcraft in front of me, why haven't you said it clearly? Since you believe in me, why bother?" lie to me?

Or do you expect me to read your past and future life one by one from the minutiae you reveal?

Then let you come and go as you please?I'm not that smart, and I'm not that capable. "
