Bevan Mountain

Jiang Wuyue also silently looked at the jade in You'er's hand, although it was very faint, it was the only light source in the room.Jiang Wuyue just looked at it subconsciously, and her mind was buzzing without making any sense.

"I... I don't want to bring you an indiscriminate disaster..." Jiang Wuyue raised her head, looked at You'er's lowered eyebrows, "You know, witchcraft is a forbidden technique. When I can't help myself, I will naturally believe you Otherwise, I definitely don't want to involve you in it."

You'er didn't speak, and her long eyelashes didn't even twitch, she just quietly waited for her to tell the truth.

Jiang Wuyue saw that she was twisting suddenly, her color darkened, she got up and walked to the window, closed the window, sat down on the chair again, and the room was completely dark again.

Jiang Wuyue took a deep breath, and said slowly: "Thousands of years ago, the witches were a powerful family, in charge of astronomical and historical affairs, and the witches were deeply respected by the royal family and the common people.

And the witch clan has multiple branches, for example, the Wuyang people are the witch doctors, who can prolong people's blessings and heal people's diseases;

The Wugan people preside over summoning spirits to suppress evil spirits, pray for blessings and offer sacrifices.

Witchcraft was highly respected at that time, and witches were even passed down as envoys who could communicate with heaven and earth.

Later, because witchcraft has its own evils, the branches of the witch clan are numerous and divided and independent, and the main trend is gradually weakening. In addition, the witch and ghost clan appeared in chaos, and with the rise of first-class alchemists, the witch people were pressured by the government and the opposition. Expulsion, exile Siyi.

Wu Gan's lineage traveled all the way to the southwestern border.There, they found what I told you about before - the ancient country.

At that time, the ancient country was a large tribe living in a corner and isolated from the world, but the local dense forest was full of beasts, and the people were unbearably disturbed.

The former king asked the Wugan people to drive away evil spirits and pray for good luck for them. The condition was to transport hundreds of huge stones to build a residence and altar for the Wugan people a hundred miles east of the ancient country, which was later named "Yuyuan Stone City".

In order to thank the former king, Wugan people would go to the ancient country to pray for them every July and the gibbous moon, and drive away evil spirits and beasts.Make the ancient country peaceful.

The Wugan people have also been living in seclusion in the southwestern frontier, multiplying their offspring.But 300 years later, the land of Middle-earth was full of wars, and it was the time when the young general who subjugated the country arrived.He came to the ancient country and became the new king of the past.

Since then, the ancient country has gradually had occasional contacts with the Central Plains in secret.After the people of Wugan realized this, Yuyuan Stone City had very little communication with the ancient country, and only discussed with the former king, and moved the prayer ceremony in July every year to the altar of Yuyuan City. Only the former king and the ancient country Elders and ministers can go to Yu Yuancheng together on the same day.

The former king knew about the previous events of the Wu clan, and he didn't want to start a dispute with the Wugan people, so he agreed.

The kings of all dynasties have respected this tradition, and it has passed a hundred years in peace.The ancient country is becoming stronger and stronger day by day, and the Wugan patriarch has also set up a forbidden array around Yuyuan Stone City——

Similar to the Xumi Formation in Jiuning Mountain, if you can't find the entrance of the formation, you can't enter or even see Yu Yuancheng.

Until one day 20 years ago... that day was originally an agreed day of prayer.

For some reason, Yu Yuancheng's place suddenly fell, and in an instant, Shicheng was submerged in the torrential flood.

The original land has turned into a lake surrounded by mountains - it is now known as Xiyue Lake.

The Wugan people and ancient people in the city were all pulled into the bottom of the lake.Only one woman who had been waiting in the house was sent out by her husband, that is, the Wugan patriarch at that time.

So far, most of Wu Gan's techniques have been lost, and the whereabouts of "Guiyue", the treasure of the family, is unknown.

Fortunately, when the patriarch sent his wife and daughter away, he cast another spell to cover his wife's star position.So that the only descendant of Wu Gan can grow up safely. "

When Jiang Wuyue said this, she finally stopped.

This story is too heavy, no matter how calm Jiang Wuyue's tone was, You'er could still hear the turmoil.

When she got here, she also exhaled depressedly: "You... are the descendants of the Wugan clan?"

Jiang Wuyue nodded: "My surname is Gan. The surname Gan is easy to be noticed by interested people, so when you ask me my name, I can only use one casually."

You'er has other doubts: "Why do I always feel that I have heard that your surname is not Jiang..."

Jiang Wuyue smiled, and said: "My mother was in the house at the time, and my father was presiding over the altar to pray. We don't communicate with outsiders, and there is a forbidden formation outside the city, so we don't know how this change came about.

My mother was sent to the farther west to Yanyuan Mountain, where I was born and raised.

My mother also secretly took me back to the former site of Yu Yuancheng, and even went into the water to find out.Except for the rocks at the bottom of the lake, I found nothing.

She doesn't know all about witchcraft, but she is familiar with monsters, spirits and beasts. The mountains and rivers are also topics that the ancestors of the clan trekked and set foot on, and the descendants talked about in chatting. She only taught me Yu steps, hand formulas and some witchcraft.

I was young at the time, so she was worried about taking me too far away, let alone leaving me alone in the mountains, so she never went to see Daoist Bailu.

Later, although I got older, her health became worse and worse, and she died of illness before I went down the mountain alone. "

"Your mother..." You'er glanced at Jiang Wuyue's shoulder, remembering that she had recklessly suspected that she was sleeping with a bag on her back, she couldn't help apologizing, "Didn't you ask a doctor to take a look?"

"I've seen it. Although we often live in the mountains, she would occasionally take me down the mountain to buy some expenses, and then prescribed some decoctions, but it didn't work.

Her illness was injured by Lei Wu, who was guarding Xunshu when she went to harvest Xunshu a few years ago. Afterwards, her body often suffered from labor pains, and it got worse and worse, which cannot be cured by ordinary medicine.

Zhu Youshu from Wuyang people may be able to cure it.However, the Witch Clan scattered here and there, and Zhu Youshu might have been lost long ago. "

It was the first time You'er learned about the source of Xunmu, and he was shocked when he heard it, and sighed: "Your mother is so powerful! She can snatch things from the hands of Shenniao!"

Seeing that Jiang Wuyue just smiled, she asked again: "By the way, your clan doesn't interact with outsiders, so why would you want to go to see Master Bailu again?"

Jiang Wuyue said: "After the ancient country had contacts with other countries, some doctors would come to find herbs and ask for medicine. When Master Bailu was carrying medicinal materials in the southwest mountains, he was entangled by a two-foot-long snake and was in danger. My father happened to Passing through saved him with witchcraft, and told him not to mention this matter to others. Master Bailu also said that in the future, if witches are in trouble, they can go to Renshou Mountain to find him.

It was only after I went down the mountain that I inquired a little, only to find out that his whereabouts were uncertain, so it was useless to go to Longxi.

Unexpectedly, he was really still in Renshou Mountain. Although he passed away, he still let his disciples stay in Renshou Mountain, waiting for Wu Gan's descendants. "

You'er was puzzled: "Why did he wait for you to find him?"

Jiang Wuyue's forehead was heavy: "Because... that year, he heard that many alchemists went to a certain place in the southwest and disappeared overnight.

He was worried that something was wrong with Wu Gan's family, so he searched again, but only saw a large lake in the mountain, and there was no clue about the rest.

In the next few years, he also often came to Xiyue Lake to investigate, and finally one time...he saw Master Fangxian Zhenyuan Jun, and led his disciples to salvage in the lake.

Although Mr. Zhenyuan still returned without success, Master Bailu suspected that Mr. Zhenyuan was related to the Wugan people, so he began to investigate him.

Finally, Master Bailu discovered that Mr. Zhenyuan was secretly studying witchcraft.At the same time, Mr. Zhenyuan also realized that he was being followed by the real Bailu, so he ordered people to arrest the real Bailu along the way.

The real person was injured by his poison, and after fleeing back to Renshou Mountain, he hid in the cave of the organ and cut off his legs to save his life.

He couldn't find Wu Gan's descendant, and because he promised my father that he would go to Renshou Mountain to find him, he has been living in seclusion in the organ cave, and only let the woodcutter come out of the mountain occasionally to find out.It's just that a few years ago, he died in the cave before he could wait for me. "

You'er said: "The woodcutter told you these things?"

"right……"

"So, you're going to find Mahara-kun and... that... "Guyue"? "

"Yes, the woodcutter said that Mr. Zhenyuan once appeared in the Yinshan area, and then he didn't know where to go to retreat and practice, and no one saw him again. I want to go north first, and go to the Yinshan area to have a look."

There was a clear morning light outside the window, You'er frowned upon hearing this, and was a little out of breath with boredom.

Jiang Wuyue got up and opened the window, let Bo Hui in, and the room became clearer.

Looking back, by the light, Jiang Wuyue finally saw Fang Fei's face after the long morning mist, her long eyelashes were sweetly covering her eyes, and her face was more charming than when she first met, so she finally saw Fang Fei's face again. After feeling a little suddenly.

You'er just bowed his head and thought about it seriously: "That Mr. Zhenyuan... I remember... he and the current national teacher came from the same sect, but later they established their own sects, and I heard that they didn't have much contact with each other. But he practiced witchcraft It's the first time I've heard of the surgery..."

Jiang Wuyue propped up the window sill with one hand and leaned against the window, watching her whispering in the morning light, a long-lost warmth suddenly arose in her chest, and she smiled: "After listening to the story, are you not angry now?"

You'er was taken aback for a moment, and looked up to see the sparse shadow leaning against the clear window, smiling warmly.Thinking of all the things I have just learned, it is hard to imagine how much hard work this proud spell has endured. What kind of companion is a young child watching the sun and rain in a remote mountain.

Bearing deep grace, looking for needles in the sea, and always being vigilant, it is rare to be safe.But now, she was clearly the one who opened the jar of bitter wine, and she was still worried about whether she was angry or not.

Looking at the cute appearance again, I really listened to the parting words before, and I haven't lost half of my weight.

You'er's heart was suddenly sore, and he walked straight over, Mo Mo slammed his chin on the shoulder of the man in a daze, and hugged Jiang Wuyue.

This time it really boiled down to impulse.But not only was there no comfort, but it made both of their hearts beat like drums.

No matter how well Jiang Wuyue understood her good intentions, she couldn't calm down her redundant feelings and distracted thoughts.

Feeling the hands around his waist, he froze instantly, and he didn't know whether he should maintain his posture or hug him back.

It seems that with one movement, the beautiful fairy riding a butterfly will fly away from my fingertips.I had no choice but to enjoy secretly in this familiar warm fragrance.

It's too cold on this person.It was so cold that You'er forgot her original intention, her awkward hands were at a loss for what to do, and she calmed down enough to take a good look at the little monster in her heart who was throwing up her arms and beating the gongs and drums with all her might. Clearly.

Fortunately, at the moment when his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, You'er withdrew his hand in time.

"I'm not angry. I'm just..." You'er stood up straight, but the words stopped here, not knowing how to express his feelings for the loose voice in his heart when listening to the story, "I'll go find it with you."

Jiang Wuyue's fairy riding Die flew away again, and stopped shyly not far away, fluttering her wings.

She didn't dare to go over and touch it, for fear that the little elf would not come close to her in the future.

"It's too dangerous. Regardless of whether Guiyue is in the hands of Mr. Zhenyuan, he will definitely try to find my whereabouts secretly..."

Jiang Wuyue paused for a while, and then said, "Or, the whereabouts of any Wu clansman—unless he doesn't know my existence."

"Why?" You'er guessed a little bit, but just didn't know, "What the hell is Guiyue?"

Jiang Wuyue raised her hand to close the window again, brought You'er back to the bed and sat down side by side.

"Guiyue is made of ancient black stone, shaped like a crescent moon. There are witch scripts on it. After reciting it in witch language, the whole body will turn white and shine like the afternoon sun.

If it happens to be a gibbous moon in the sky, its shape can match the gibbous moon, and the upper and lower beams of light match each other, forming a full moon that reaches the sky and reflects the radiance of heaven and earth.

Legend has it that when the moon is through, the caster of the spell can communicate with the heavenly language. People who stand in it can get the king's life, demons who stand in it can become immortals, and ghosts who stand in it can become demons.

These, I heard from my mother, I have never seen it, and my family has only used it to worship and pray for blessings.Since Zhenyuan-kun is practicing witchcraft - it is hard to guarantee that he has found other witches..."

You'er said: "You mean, Mr. Zhenyuan learned the witch language through the witch tribe, and then learned witchcraft? Then if Guiyue is in his hands..."

"I'm not sure. According to Bailu Master's investigation, Mr. Zhenyuan went to Xiyue Lake several times later, but all returned without success. I guess he should be looking for Guiyue.

My family's mental spells are all taught by precepts and deeds, and there are no books or inscriptions, and there is nothing else worthy of his exploration.As for how he learned witchcraft..."

Jiang Wuyue's thoughts stopped here, "There is no other clue now, I can only follow this clue to find out what happened back then-in short, you can't be with me. Whether it's me Whether you find them first or they find me first is not in your favor."

You'er raised his eyebrows, You You dissatisfied: "Then you were with me all the time before?"

"That's not you..." Jiang Wuyue hurriedly stopped talking, and then smiled, "Now that you know so many things, aren't you afraid of being caught and tortured?"

You'er looked strange: "Why did you hit me? I don't know Wuyu."

"You'er..."

Jiang Wuyue still wanted to persuade, You'er put on an angry face: "You just think I'm not good at spells!"

Jiang Wuyue tilted her head and muttered: "It's too early to dislike..."

"What did you say?"

"I said... I said that if you were injured because of me, I..." Jiang Wuyue pondered for a long time before saying, "I'm sorry."

You'er lightly raised his fist and thumped his leg: "Then protect me well!"

Seeing that Jiang Wuyue was still frowning, she said again: "When it comes to inquiring about news, am I not better than you?"

Jiang Wuyue was silent, only thinking silently: Protection?How to protect?I can protect you with one or two, ten or twenty is not a problem.If there are thousands of troops... I will send you away like my father sent away my mother?

"That's it..." You'er stood up and turned around briskly, "Follow me to find the God of Wealth first, she's going north anyway. After solving her problem, let's go find Zhenyuan together Jun."

"God of Wealth?" Jiang Wuyue remembered now, and asked You'er where she was going after talking for a long time before asking, "What is she going to the north for?"

"She didn't say anything, she just told me to meet her quickly."
