After Sister-in-law Tang was driven away from the Song family in despair, Lin Mengya discussed with Mrs. Song and pushed Bai Su out to let everyone know that Song Zeming was still alive.
After all, she was a foreigner, so it was normal for her cousin and her younger brother and sister to accompany her around.
Although Bai Su was just hiding in the car, everyone could see clearly.
The young man who has been rumored to have died prematurely over the past three years is still alive and well.
Suddenly, Sister-in-law Tang was in a difficult situation. Not only did she not get the reward money, but she almost lost her life.
However, she is evil-hearted.
In order to survive, I promised those people that I would get rid of Song Zeming as soon as possible.
Lin Mengya was sitting in the carriage, but she was watching in all directions and listening in all directions.
She knew that someone was following them, and she deliberately kept her own people from revealing their whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, the other party didn't attack them.
This made her a little confused.
This is just a small town, and the Song family is just a small family. Those people shouldn't have anything to worry about.
She walked around for three days in a row, like this every day, which made her full of questions.
In the end, Mrs. Song thought that she was too worried, so she suggested that she go up the mountain to have a look.
"Is there any special scenery on this mountain?"
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "It's nothing special, but we used to worship the mountain gods here. There is a mountain temple there, and the scenery is pretty good."
Mountain temple?
Lin Mengya's heart moved.
She remembered seeing this thing before, but it was just because someone deliberately caused trouble.
But Mrs. Song's good intentions were hard for her to violate.
I had no choice but to discuss it with Bai Su and the others, and take the people up the mountain to play early the next morning.
It was almost October when they arrived here, and there was an interesting autumn scene on the mountain.
Nature's paintbrush is so uncanny, with rich golden and red colors, that people can't help but feel a bit of interest in admiring it.
But Bai Su was miserable.
In order to pretend to be more like her, she always rides in the car when she goes out these days. Even if she occasionally comes down for a walk, she is always supported by someone.
This made Bai Nuxia, who used to practice every day, very depressed, and she had not given Li Wushuang a good look for several days in a row.
But it’s also strange.
However, Li Wushuang, who used to be deathly afraid of her, now refused to fight back or scolded her, and was smiling all day long, making Bai Su feel embarrassed to continue getting angry at him.
In Lin Mengya's words, this is really a bit of tofu, one thing reduces another.
"Master, it seems those people didn't follow."
Cairu has been paying attention to the group of people behind her. , lowered his voice and said in her ear.
"Oh? Why is this? Are you sure they didn't catch up, and it wasn't a hard-to-get trick played by the other party?"
Cairu shook her head, she was not sure.
Maybe it was because they were walking slowly, and those people were afraid of being discovered, so they also slowed down.
But by the time they reached the top of the mountain, Cairu was sure that those people had not followed them at all.
Lin Mengya frowned.
This mountain is just an ordinary mountain, nothing special about it. What are those people afraid of?
"Cousin, the mountain temple is just ahead. Please work harder, we will be there soon!"
Li Wushuang's voice of surprise came from behind.
Lin Mengya also looked forward.
I saw only a small eaves exposed in the dense forest.
If you don't look carefully, you might think that the eaves are just a jackdaw standing on the top of the tree.
When she got closer, she realized that this mountain temple actually blended in with the surrounding mountains.
This architectural style, built completely according to the natural direction, felt very familiar to her.
Lin Mengya only felt that there seemed to be many secrets hidden in this ordinary-looking mountain temple.
The temple door is ajar and opens when pushed.
This was not the first time Li Wushuang came here. He asked someone to push the door open, then turned back and helped Bai Su out of the car.
While walking inside, he familiarly introduced Lin Mengya and the others, "Normally no one comes here. Only during the Lantern Festival every year, do people come to worship the mountain god.
I have been here several times with my father and mother in the past, so I am quite familiar with this place."
He pointed to the slightly larger room and said, "This is the main hall, and there is a huge stone enshrined in it.
My father said that the origin of this huge stone is very mysterious, and it is the mountain god we worship."
As he said this, Li Wushuang asked his servants to take out the prepared tributes.
Lin Mengya was also curious and followed their footsteps into the main hall.
But as soon as she entered the door, she felt something strange, and her connection with the system became intermittent.
This feeling is like encountering the jade stones under the Gong family's old house.
She couldn't help but frown slightly and looked at the boulder.
Nothing could be seen from the outside. The stone was pitch black, as if it had just been picked out of a fire.
There is a huge base under the stone. The old paint on it has been mottled and peeled off.
I can barely tell that it should be telling the story of the mountain god.
The air was filled with a faint smell of pine. She sniffed and asked, "Who usually guards this place?"
Li Wushuang thought for a while and said, "Usually he is just an old bachelor in the town. He has no children or relatives, so the elders gave him some money and asked him to come to the temple to clean up in his spare time.
There are not many others, but I heard that some hunters will come here to spend the night when they have no time to go down the mountain."
Lin Mengya nodded.
There are indeed traces of people living here, but they are not that obvious.
Apparently no one has been here for a long time.
But when she looked at the altar table, she couldn't help but frown.
The altar table was clean. Although there was nothing on it, Lin Mengya could be sure that they had never sent anyone to clean it up before they came in.
She quietly touched the table legs, and even the dust on them was gone, showing that someone had carefully taken care of them.
However, Li Wushuang and others did not notice this small detail.
They laid out the offerings, bowed three times to the boulder, and added incense to the boulder.
"I hope the mountain god can keep my parents safe."
After Li Wushuang finished worshiping the mountain god, Lin Mengya immediately followed him and walked around the mountain temple.
The Mountain Temple is just like what Mrs. Song said. Although it doesn't look like anything special, it is actually a very quiet and elegant small courtyard.
They walked around to the backyard, which was similar to the front yard, except that there were some more straight tables and stone benches.
Lin Mengya squinted her eyes and looked outside the backyard wall of the mountain temple.
"Where does that lead to?"
Li Wushuang took a look and replied, "The place behind the mountain temple is called 'Ghost Eyes'. It is said that even the most experienced hunters dare not go there easily, otherwise they will get lost."
And the most bizarre thing is that people who are lost will never come out.
Why, do you feel something is wrong?"
Lin Mengya was stunned for a moment, then shook her head covertly.
However, her heart was blossoming. If she had read correctly just now, the forest in the backyard had formed an extremely spectacular maze.
In fact, it was even more powerful than the ones she had seen before.
Even if she walked in, she was not sure she would come out intact.
It seems that there are indeed many secrets hidden in this mountain temple.
She has never been a person who likes to seek death. Now that she knows there is something fishy there, she will never take the initiative to get into it.
After taking Bai Su to enjoy the scenery, they went to the mountain Go down.
Unexpectedly, on the road, I met the old bachelor who often cleans up the mountain temple.
"Uncle Xian, where have you been?"
As a junior, Li Wushuang stopped the car and greeted the other party very politely.
But that tough-looking old bachelor didn't buy his account.
He just looked at them coldly and said, "Go home."
Li Wushuang only took the initiative to talk to the old bachelor because he saw that Lin Mengya was more interested in the mountain temple.
However, seeing the other party's lack of respect, he did not dare to waste the other party's time any longer.
"I see, then we won't delay you. Goodbye, Uncle Xian."
The old bachelor never looked at Li Wushuang from the beginning to the end, but before leaving, his gloomy eyes fell on Lin Mengya.
"Have you been to the Mountain Temple?"
Lin Mengya was a little unaccustomed to the endless questioning.
However, she still hesitated for a moment and nodded slightly.
Uncle Xian snorted coldly.
"Don't come here again if you have nothing to do. You are not welcome here!"
After saying that, the man turned around and left.
Lin Mengya looked innocent.
"It seems I didn't offend him, right?"
Don't talk about her, even Li Wushuang is full of question marks.
"Although Uncle Xian is usually quite withdrawn, I have never seen him be so rude to anyone before."
When Lin Mengya heard this, she couldn't help complaining, "Is it possible that this is still my fault?"
She just felt a little surprised.
It was obviously her first time here, and she had never had any contact with that wise uncle, so she didn't know why she was so resentful towards her.
Suddenly, the good mood that had excited me because of the wonderful autumn scenery disappeared in an instant.
"If you don't come, you won't come. Do you think I'm a stranger?"
She angrily led the people down the mountain.
But Lin Mengya was Lin Mengya. Although she felt that the man's hostility towards him was inexplicable, it did not affect her normal thinking.
At the foot of the mountain, there are obvious traces of someone's visit.
But the strange thing is that now, neither she nor Cairu can feel that anyone is following them at all.
Could it be that these people felt that they had no tracking value, so they went back?
But soon, Lin Mengya gave up this idea.
The night she returned, Cairu brought some news that she found even more incredible.
