Nangong Yunxue patted Nangong Jiu's little hand gently.
“I heard there’s a Lingyin Mountain eighty miles east of the city, and on the mountain there’s a Lingyin Temple, where a great and powerful person who has attained enlightenment is enshrined.
There are many believers who have received her grace and help, and the incense is popular all year round. It is very effective, and pilgrims come from thousands of miles away to burn incense here.
Since we are here, let's go and take a look, pray for the people, and ask the almighty to bless our Dongling with good weather, peace and prosperity."
Nangong Jiu frowned.
Mighty? Which Mighty?
Instead of going to the Taoist temple to ask others for help, you might as well come to me. I can solve the problem with just a wave of my hand.
Nangong Yunxue continued to explain: "Burning incense is one thing, but I heard that the scenery in the mountains is beautiful and cool, so let's stay there for a few days."
Nangong Jiu finally smiled in relief and waved his arms: [Okay, okay! This is possible!]
Lingyin Mountain.
The carriage sped along and finally arrived at the foot of Lingyin Mountain at 3:30 PM.
In front of the mountain gate, Liu Hao stopped the carriage.
“I heard that there are stone steps from the foot of the mountain to the top, and you can only walk. If you climb slowly, it will take about an hour and a half to reach the top.
Let's rest here for a while, eat something to fill our stomachs and then go up, otherwise we may not be able to walk halfway.
I heard many people gave up halfway through the journey. We insisted on walking slowly and just wanted to get there before dark.
Nangong Yunxue carried Nangong Jiu out of the carriage.
The group sat down and ate the food they brought.
Nangong Jiu ate too many snacks on the way and didn't want to eat anything, so he looked up at the mountain.
Wow, the mountain is so high!
Sudden.
An inexplicable sense of familiarity flooded into Nangong Jiu's mind.
He shook his head and raised his little head, looking at the mountain again.
At this time, a thin layer of mist rose halfway up the mountain. The mist wrapped around the mountain, hazy and vague, like a fairyland.
Nangong Jiu's heart seemed to be hit by something, and it beat violently several times.
[Mother, I'll let Xiao Wang walk with me.]
"Okay, just walk around here and don't go too far."
【Don't worry! 】
Nangong Jiu let Xiao Wang lead him and walked slowly forward.
After slightly avoiding everyone, he grabbed his clothes at his chest.
"Xiao Wang, Xiao Xing, I don't know why, but I feel like I'm very familiar with this mountain. I have an inexplicable urge to climb up quickly."
Xiao Wang's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that His Majesty had come to this mountain when he was traveling among the people?
The group rested for a while and then walked up the mountain. The stone steps were high and steep, and Nangong Yunxue had a hard time walking.
Nangong Jiu grabbed Nangong Yunxue's sleeve.
【Mom, let’s ride Xiao Wang. 】
Nangong Yunxue shook her head and refused: "People who burn incense walk up, and sincerity is the key to success.
You are still young and can’t walk by yourself, so you can ride Xiao Wang.”
【Then I'll go upstairs and wait for you. 】
"Okay, you go up first. Once you're up, wait patiently and don't run around."
【knew. 】
Nangong Jiu agreed with a smile and directed Xiao Wang to go up.
Xiao Wang stuck out his tongue and complained as he walked up: "Your Majesty, why do I feel like these stone steps seem to have no end?"
Nangong Jiu blurted out.
"There are 1,999 stone steps, with eight bends and nine turns. You certainly can't see the end. If you're tired, we can rest for a while before continuing."
"No, I was just worried that you'd get bored and fall asleep, so I talked to you to help you stay awake."
"I won't fall asleep. I'm so excited. The further up I go, the stronger the sense of familiarity becomes."
Xiaoxing suddenly spoke.
"Your Majesty, how did you know there are 1,999 stone steps on this mountain, with eight bends and nine turns?"
Nangong Jiu was stunned: "Yes, how should I know? Have I been to this place before? But I don't remember anything."
After thinking for a long time, he still couldn't remember anything, so Nangong Jiu gave up without hesitation.
"No matter whether he has been here before, let's go up first."
Xiao Wang stuck out his tongue, smiled foolishly, looked back, shook his head, and quickened his pace up the mountain.
After a while, Xiao Wang reached the top of the stone steps and lay down to let Nangong Jiu come down.
Nangong Jiu stood on the stone steps, first looked at the Lingyin Temple in front of him, then turned around and looked down, and then looked around.
Familiar, too familiar!
It feels like I have been here for a long time.
Nangong Jiu closed his eyes and took a deep breath.
"Xiao Wang, I seem to have lost some of my memory. This place seems so familiar, but I can't remember it.
Did the old man of Heaven do something to me when he allowed me to reincarnate?"
Xiao Wang secretly glanced at Nangong Jiu and shook his head guiltily: "Xiaoxian doesn't know."
Your Majesty is becoming more and more cunning, and he actually wants to extract information from me.
Xiao Wang hummed and lay aside, ignoring Nangong Jiu.
Nangong Jiu didn't mind and said with a smile: "Let's go to the back mountain tomorrow to explore and see if I can remember anything."
When it was getting dark, Liu Hao and Nangong Yunxue finally climbed to the top.
Seeing that the man and the dog were almost asleep waiting, Liu Hao smiled and said, "Let's go in. Agan should have booked a room."
As soon as he finished speaking, Agan appeared.
"Sir, I have asked the steward for an independent courtyard. Behind the courtyard is the mountain, which is quiet and peaceful.
I have also ordered vegetarian food, please follow me."
The group followed Agan into the courtyard.
By this time, it had already darkened.
After a short rest, the Taoist priests from the temple brought us vegetarian meals.
Nangong Jiu's was a bowl of porridge.
A young chef explained with a smile: "The porridge of the young donor contains wild vegetables unique to Lingyin Mountain, which tastes fresh and refreshing.
Please try it, and if you like it, I will prepare some more for you tomorrow."
Nangong Yunxue thanked him and gave him some silver as a reward.
Nangong Jiu couldn't wait to point at the porridge.
Nangong Yunxue fed a spoonful into her mouth. Nangong Jiu chewed it and was deeply attracted by the familiar taste in her mouth.
"Ha Qi..."
"Jiuer, do you like this porridge?"
I like it, I like it very much!
Nangong Jiu narrowed his eyes, nodded with enjoyment, and pointed at the porridge to urge Nangong Yunxue.
"Since you like it, mother will ask the chef in the temple to cook it for you tomorrow."
Soon, the bowl of porridge was finished.
Nangong Jiu held his bloated belly and burped, letting Xiao Wang carry him out to help digest the food.
Standing at a fence, Nangong Jiu looked thoughtfully into the dark distance.
"Xiao Wang, I must have been here before. I instinctively like the taste of that porridge."
"Your Majesty, you used to travel around the human world a lot and have been to countless places. It's normal for you to come here and drink the porridge here."
"But I don't remember."
"I've been to so many places, it's not surprising that I can't remember a particular place."
Nangong Jiu nodded: "Maybe."
Heaven.
Tiandao added a few entries to the merit book and nodded with satisfaction.
"The little girl is quite good. If she continues like this, when she returns to heaven, she will be filled with merits and virtues, which will be of great help to her."
The Star Lord Siming looked at the troubled Nangong Jiu in the mirror.
"Will the Empress remember it?"
