Yuchen walked up to me, leaned over, put his lips against my ear, and whispered, "Do you love me that much?"
The deep and sexy voice reached my ears, and my heart felt so hot that it felt like it was going to explode.
I wanted to deny it, but before I could say anything, I heard Yuchen chuckle, "I won't go anywhere in this life so that you can love me enough.
"
"Who...who loves you!" I said harshly.
"I love you," Yuchen reached out and pinched my earlobe, whispering, "I love how shy you look because of me.
Anyway, there’s no rush to find the inner elixir, let’s do other things first.
"
Thinking with my toes, I can think of other things he said.
Not enough last night, was it?
I was about to refuse when I heard Gu Han cough awkwardly, "Um... Um, can you two take care of my dog?"
Thinking that Gu Han had been watching from the side, my face suddenly turned redder.
I stretched out my hand to push Yuchen away and forcibly changed the topic, "Where should we find the inner elixir?"
My cheeks were red, but the instigator's expression did not change. He said, "Go to the mountains.
"
We just left. Yuchen drove, I sat in the passenger seat, Gu Han sat in the back seat, and we set off.
On the way, I asked Yuchen what his relationship was with Bai Changgui.
Yuchen turned to look at me.
I explained, "I'm not jealous, I'm just curious.
"
Yuchen withdrew his gaze and said with a half-smile, "I practiced in Siming Mountain for a period of time, and before I went there, Siming Mountain had always been his territory.
"
After Yuchen left, he became the boss of Siming Mountain. Yuchen took all the cultivation resources first.
Bai Changgui couldn't get anything, so he went out to work as a horse fairy for hundreds of years.
It wasn't until Yuchen left Siming Mountain decades ago that Bai Changgui came back.
I felt strange, "You took away his territory, shouldn't he hate you?" But I didn't feel any hostility towards Yuchen from him. On the contrary, he cared about Yuchen very much.
"When he was a trickster, he encountered some difficult things, and I helped him solve them.
"
Yuchen said that from then on, Bai Changgui always came to him whenever he had something to do.
I asked again, "Yu Chen, do you know who is lying, Bai Changgui or Mr. Fu?" There are eleven people in total. One said there is a woman and the other says there is no woman. One of them must be lying, right?
"They both told the truth.
"Yu Chen said, "A woman who can steal the inner elixir of the Xian family is not an ordinary person.
"
She can kill one of them first, and then use spells to confuse the remaining people, so that the remaining people can become her helpers in stealing the inner elixir.
Therefore, in Bai Changgui's eyes, eleven people collaborated to steal the inner elixir.
But in Master Fu's eyes, among the eleven people, there was no woman at all.
So that’s it.
Yuchen probably figured it out when he listened to what the two said, so he didn't dwell on the content of the argument between the two.
Siming Mountain is located in the southeast of Liaocheng.
In the evening, we drove to the foot of Siming Mountain.
Nowadays, the tourism economy is developing, and many farmhouses are opened in the small villages at the foot of the mountain.
Gu Han and I were both hungry, so we randomly found a farmhouse to eat.
When she heard that we were going up the mountain all night, the proprietress waved her hands repeatedly, "But we can't help it. The mountain is not peaceful during this period. It's okay to go up the mountain during the day. You must not go at night."
"
I heard something in the boss lady's words and asked, "Why? Is something strange happening on the mountain?"
The landlady nodded, lowered her voice, and said mysteriously, "It's haunted.
The trouble has been going on for more than half a month. Our village chief said he wanted to invite a mage to come and take a look, but he hasn't been invited yet.
"
It has been haunted for more than half a month, and Bai Changgui's inner elixir has also been lost for more than half a month.
Looks like you've found the right place.
I glanced at Yuchen, and then asked the proprietress, "Mom, can you tell us in detail how the mountains are haunted? We are all very curious.
"
I took out two hundred yuan and put it in the hands of the landlady.
The landlady took it with a smile, "I don't understand what you city dwellers think, why you like to hear these weird things.
"
The landlady sat down and told us that the first people to discover the haunting were a young couple who were traveling.
The young couple went up the mountain to have some romance in the middle of the night, but they saw seven coffins on the mountain.
The coffin was standing on the ground with a lamp lit next to it, which was particularly scary.
The young couple were so frightened that they ran down the mountain and told the village chief about the incident.
The village chief thought it was a prank, so he took a dozen men up the mountain that night.
"My man was among those who went up the mountain at that time. My man said that they did not see the coffin, but they heard the cries of ghosts.
"The boss's wife said, "I kept crying about how unjust my death was, and there were also a lot of children crying..."
The village chief and others were afraid and went down the mountain.
I went to see it during the day the next day and everything on the mountain was normal.
But on the second night, the crying started again.
"There are also those who are not afraid of death and go up the mountain to look, but everyone sees something different. Some say they see a coffin, some say they see a child, and some say they see a beautiful woman taking a bath.
Nothing happened at first, and the village chief ignored people who went up the mountain at night. But a week ago, a person who went up the mountain in the middle of the night died on the mountain.
The police said that the man died of a heart attack, but we know that the man was scared to death.
The village chief was afraid that something would happen again, so he didn't allow Qiao Ren to go up the mountain at night.
"
The landlady said, "You three are still young. Please listen to my advice and don't go up there in the middle of the night. If you lose your life, it's not worth it."
"
At this time, the boss's voice came calling for the boss's wife.
The landlady stood up and said, "I'm going to work. You guys eat slowly."
"
After saying that, the landlady left the private room.
I asked Yuchen, if the mountain is haunted by ghosts, is it because of Bai Changgui’s inner elixir?
Yuchen said, "You won't know until you see it.
"
We rented two rooms in the farmyard, and it wasn't until late at night that the three of us sneaked out.
Yuchen hugged me and Gu Han followed. Not long after, we climbed to the top of the mountain.
There is a small temple built on the top of the mountain. The temple is not big, and it is difficult to see what is enshrined inside even in the dark.
There is an open space in front of the temple, surrounded by dense woods. Other than that, there is nothing.
Gu Han looked around and asked, "Where are the ghosts? Where are the cries?"
At this time, a burst of laughter suddenly came from the woods on one side.
Yuchen took the lead and rushed into the woods, and Gu Han and I followed closely.
After getting into the woods and walking forward for a while, I saw a large open space in front of me. In the middle of the open space was a lake. The lake was not big and the water was silvery white. There was an orange-yellow bead hanging directly above the lake.
The ball slowly rotated in the air, emitting a light yellow light.
There are three girls taking a bath in the lake.
This should be what the boss lady said, someone saw a beautiful woman taking a bath.
The three girls had their backs to us, as if they didn't notice us peeking, and they were still splashing and playing.
A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, with a fair and graceful back and a silver bell-like laughter, even I, a woman, felt distraught when I saw her.
I glanced at Yuchen.
Yuchen was also staring at the girl bathing in the lake.
I felt a little sad and asked him in a low voice, "Does it look good?"
Yuchen looked at me, curling up the corners of his lips in a bad way, "Not as good-looking as you.
You can wash it like this when you go back and show it to me..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuchen's expression suddenly turned serious, "Close your eyes!"
I glanced into the lake, and the three girls seemed to have noticed us and turned to look at us.
The three girls were not wearing any clothes. Now that they were around, wouldn't it be...
I am a woman, what does it matter whether I close my eyes or not! Isn’t he the one who should close his eyes the most now?
I was about to tell him to close his eyes when I suddenly heard a baby crying.
Then, the three dead babies opened their mouths wide, revealing their white fangs, and rushed towards us.
Yuchen waved his hand, and the silver whip appeared and swept the two dead babies aside.
Gu Han also used the yellow talisman to eliminate one.
I looked again, and there were no girls in front of me. There were only three dead babies that had just been dealt with and were still emitting black ghost smoke.
"The three of them were the ones bathing in the lake just now. Do you still think it looks good?" Yuchen asked.
I was in disbelief, "Why is this happening?"
"They were dead babies, and the girl's appearance was the phantom created by Bai Changgui's inner elixir.
"
When Yuchen said this, I noticed that when they were close to the orange ball, they looked like girls, but when they left the ball, they turned into dead babies.
"Since that ball is Neidan, we can leave after taking Neidan.
"As Gu Han said, he took out another yellow talisman. After reciting a few spells quickly, he raised his hand and hit the yellow talisman in his hand towards the inner alchemy.
But the entire yellow talisman actually passed through the inner elixir and fell to the ground.
Gu Han was surprised, "The inner alchemy is also a phantom!"
Yuchen didn't say anything. He picked up the silver whip and struck at the shadow of the inner alchemy.
With a snap, the silver whip scattered the shadow.
The scene in front of me was like a torn scroll, split in the middle.
The phantom dissipated, revealing the original appearance of this place.
