After Song Ning's three children grew a bit older, she simply couldn't suppress her desire to travel the world.

The mountains and waters here are beautiful, so she plans to go for a walk outside.

She didn't tell anyone about this, and she didn't need to pack anything; she could travel alone with her little space.

So, on this day, while Xie Linzhou was away attending court, his daughter was at the shop, and his two sons were at the military camp outside the city, Song Ning disguised herself and quietly left the mansion.

Dressed in men's clothing and pretending to be a businesswoman, she slipped out of the capital.

Leaving the capital, looking at the distant mountains, I was so happy I almost jumped for joy.

The mountains and plateaus of this era have arrived!

Leaving the capital, I headed east. I heard there was a place called Qiushan Town that was famous for its fine wines, and I had to go and taste them.

Alone on horseback, they leisurely left the capital.

Although life was good before, it was crowded and chaotic. Since she came into this world, she has been struggling to survive every day.

Later, when life got better, he fell in love with doing business and only wanted to make money.

Now she has a son and a daughter, and she doesn't need to worry about the business. Her daughter is more mature than her now, and her son Xie Linzhou is also very well-behaved.

Looking at it this way, it seems she really has nothing to do right now.

She spends her days drinking tea, listening to music, shopping, and buying things with her girlfriends, wasting precious time.

Now that her parents are in good health and the Duke's mansion is stable, the seeds of her previous desire to travel and enjoy life have begun to sprout and grow.

He narrowed his eyes as he watched the girl dancing on the high platform in front of him.

Wow, it's really beautiful.

It was already quite late when I came out of the tavern, but the streets were still very lively.

It's springtime now, the weather is pleasant, and people of all ages stroll hand in hand on the street, creating a harmonious scene.

Song Ning found a restaurant, sat by the window, and looked down, feeling truly relaxed and happy.

The waiter brought out the wine and dishes, and Song Ning was completely at ease.

"Sir, do you mind if I sit here?"

Hearing the sound, Song Ning looked over and saw a businessman standing opposite her, holding a wine glass in his hand.

"I see you're all alone, so I'd like to have a drink with you, what do you say?"

Since she was bored by herself, she smiled and said, "Please sit down."

"My surname is Li, and my given name is Xian. May I ask where you come from, sir?"

"My surname is Song, and I come from the capital."

"So it's Brother Song. Judging from your attire, you're here to do business too?"

"I'm here for sightseeing."

She's already run away from the capital, why would she do business? This time, she's determined to focus on having fun and experience everything she hasn't had in the past few decades.

The moment this topic comes up, the person on the other end gets really excited.

“Brother Song, you’ve come to the right place. Do you know that just east of Qiushan Town lies the endless sea? I’ve heard that in the middle of the mountains, there is a fairy mountain.”

Song Ning chuckled: "You actually believe that?"

"This is not just hearsay; someone really saw it."

"Then tell me, what does that place look like?"

This gentleman surnamed Li described the sacred mountain so vividly, his face filled with longing.

"I'm actually going over there anyway, want to come along?"

To be honest, she was actually a little tempted by what this person said.

Li Xian also said that every now and then a bridge would extend from the fairy mountain in the sea to the shore.

The people on the shore can cross this bridge to go directly to the sacred mountain.

This is different from the legends Song Ning heard in her previous life.

This sacred mountain is quite down-to-earth; it even has a path for ordinary people to get there.

If that's true, then her charming ancestor should come here; perhaps there really is an elixir up there.

"You've come at just the right time. This sacred mountain appears every three months, and tomorrow is the day it will appear."

"So, I guess I'm pretty lucky. But... why haven't I heard about this in the capital?"

How could something this big not get out?

Moreover, Qiushan Town is not too far from the capital.

"You wouldn't know that, would you?"

The man named Li Xian whispered, "I heard that this is a local rule: anyone who has been here cannot tell anyone. If they do, they won't be able to come back next time."

"How could the locals possibly know if this was said out of the blue?"

"Oh dear, those who spread the word about the sacred mountain have all died mysteriously. It's not that they're not allowed to come, it's that they can't come."

Song Ning was stunned. Could such a thing really exist?

"Because a lot of people died before, no one dares to talk about it now."

Song Ning looked at Li Xian and suddenly laughed: "So now you're telling me, aren't you afraid of suddenly dying mysteriously?"

"It doesn't matter. Once we enter Qiushan Town, those rules won't apply."

This is truly a strange thing. She has lived in this world for so many years and this is the first time she has ever heard of such a thing.

"So, Brother Li has already been there?"

"To be honest, this is my first time here too. What I just said was told to me by the local people. So, how about it? Would you like to come with me tomorrow?"

“Great! I’ll definitely go check this out.”

The two left the restaurant and agreed to go to the eastern shore the next morning.

Song Ning had expected to see a boundless, turbulent sea, but suddenly a towering, misty fairy mountain appeared.

But the sea was indeed the sea, though not that wide, and as for the fairy mountain, it was nowhere to be seen.

But the bridge that Li Xian mentioned actually exists.
