Chapter 640: Dark Mountain Night

A mountain ghost is not a wild ghost or spirit in the mountains, but refers to a female mountain deity in ancient times. She is well-known for her beautiful, stunning and ethereal appearance.

However, as time goes by, this term is no longer known and understood by the general public. Only a few remote places in the mountains still retain the ancient customs and still refer to it this way.

The newlyweds looked at the girl curiously. Although they had never seen the mountain goddess in ancient legends, the girl's temperament was indeed 70% similar to the legend.

Fortunately, after Bai Chou explained for a while, the two gradually gave up their previous guesses.

"It seems that this young lady may have been sleeping in the Peach Blossom Land for a long time. It was only because of the changes in the world in recent years that the silence was broken and she gradually woke up." The matchmaker put forward her own guess.

"My husband and I grew up in this mountain. In the past ten years or so, we haven't seen any noble children come here for sightseeing. I'm afraid we can't provide any useful clues." The groom beside him also shook his head slightly.

Although the two had just gotten married, they had known each other since childhood and were quite familiar with each other. There were only these few families in the nearby mountain villages. After decades of getting along with each other, they knew each other very well. If there were any unfamiliar outsiders coming, they would basically know them.

"Thank you both for your explanation. Actually, you don't have to worry too much about me." The girl shook her head slightly. After she woke up, she had begun to recall past events in her dreams over the past two days. Although it was only a part of it, she was not as panicked as at the beginning.

As long as time is given, full recovery will not be a problem, but I will occasionally feel a little anxious and miss you.

The newlyweds looked at the girl under the candlelight. Her pretty face showed a sense of peace and tranquility. She certainly didn't look timid or panicky, and they secretly admired her.

"Then we shouldn't rush to find out. If you're not in a hurry, you can stay here for a few days. When merchants come, you can go out with them. It will be much safer. Otherwise, if you go alone, you will be attacked by snakes, insects, poisonous swamps, monsters and monsters along the way, which is always unsafe."

The girl had a brief conversation with Yu Baichou and nodded.

"Sorry to bother you then." She stood up, folded her hands in front of her and bowed slightly.

When you are away from home and have no relatives, it is indeed a blessing to be taken in and treated by someone with good intentions.

"That's okay. I'll go see if there are any clean rooms. It just so happens that they've vacated a few guest rooms recently just for the wedding." After saying that, the hostess pushed the door open and went out.

Unlike the matchmakers and parent-determined marriages outside the mountains, the Yeyu clan still maintains the simple tradition of free love. The two only gradually revealed their relationship to their parents after they fell in love naturally. Before the wedding, the woman had visited the man's home several times, so she felt no stranger to him. And now that the wedding was complete, she had become the new hostess.

After dark, most of the guests who came to celebrate went home, but a few particularly close aunts, uncles, cousins ​​and the like would stay and stay temporarily to accompany the couple overnight.

After waiting for a while, the hostess came back into the house and waved to the girl.

"The room is ready. It's on the upper floor of the next building. Come with me."

Qionglou is a local building made of stacked stones. It is shaped like a square tower, with a small window around each floor for looking outside.

The hostess led the way in front with an orange lamp, and then went up the wooden stairs.

"I haven't asked your name yet? My name is Bai Zao." She suddenly remembered something and turned around. The red and white headdress on her head still looked very beautiful in the candlelight.

"As for the name, it seems to be Lanxier, but my memory is a little vague." The girl answered. In fact, she had already remembered her full name, which was Luo Lanxier, but now Luo was the royal surname, so she didn't want to say it directly.

"It's a nice name, with a unique rhythm." The bride smiled slightly. Although she was not a stunning beauty, her appearance was extremely rare in the nearby mountain villages.

"We Yeyu people don't have much contact with the outside world, and there aren't many etiquettes. So if you need to find me during the few days I'm here, just call me Bai Zao."

"Okay, thank you Sister Bai." The girl nodded obediently.

Unlike the world with lights everywhere in my memory, in this ancient and mysterious world, there are no lights, so the whole world becomes extremely dark at night.

In the deep forests and mountains, without moonlight, it was pitch dark, and nothing could be seen. Faced with such endless darkness, the mountain dwellers rarely went out at night. Even if they had to go into the mountains, they usually went in groups holding torches to give each other courage.

The lantern in Bai Zao's hand swayed in the darkness, dividing the stairs and the figure into two parts: a dark part and a bright part. As the position of the lantern changed, some places became pitch black, while other places were illuminated, revealing parts that had not been seen before.

Sometimes, even if you can hold the hand of someone who is right in front of you, once the light turns and no longer shines on her face, when you look up, you can only see a pair of vague black eyes, and the whole face is invisible.

Such scenes often scare children, afraid of the unknown weirdness in the darkness.

However, what surprised Bai Zao a little was that even in such a dark environment, the girl still had a calm face, light steps, and no hesitation, as if she was walking on a flat road.

Perhaps this person really could be the reincarnation of a mountain goddess, with an extraordinary origin. This thought crossed her mind, and she continued walking forward.

This world has been home to all kinds of immortals and strange beasts since ancient times, with humans and gods living together. It would not be surprising if you really encountered one.
