Chapter 155: Apparition

Zheng, Fa and the other two arrived in the capital around nine o'clock in the evening.

By the time they arrived at the nursing home, it was almost midnight.

It was getting late, so the three of them simply stayed in the village at the foot of the mountain.

This village is close to the capital, and there are probably some tourists from the capital, so there are several homestays or farm stays in the village.

Zheng Fa and the other two picked the one they thought was the best decorated.

Early the next morning, Zheng Fa and the other two got up and prepared to go out.

The owner of the B&B has also gotten up and is fiddling with a selfie stick in the yard in front of the B&B, apparently trying to find an angle.

"Are you up?"

The boss was a man who looked to be in his early thirties. He greeted the three of them as they came downstairs.

"Um, boss, what are you doing?"

Zheng Fa looked at his movements and asked curiously.

"Oh, this, I'm going to find a background for the live broadcast!" explained the B&B owner.

"live streaming?"

"Hey, let's promote it on the Internet. Our place is not well-known enough." The boss said, "Look, I'm here. Not only can I see my house, but I can also see Hongshan Mountain behind me."

"Rainbow Mountain?"

Zheng Fa looked at the hill behind him where the nursing home was built.

"Yes, this mountain is called Hongshan in our village. It can be regarded as a tourist attraction here." The boss said casually.

Zheng Fa thought about it and decided not to leave in a hurry. After all, he might be practicing here for a long time in the future, so it would be good to understand the local situation.

"Boss, what's your name?"

The boss glanced at him, then looked at the old man Bai and Tang Lingwu behind him. He seemed a little confused as to why Zheng Fa seemed to be the main one among the three.

"No need to be so noble, my surname is Mu."

“Are you from here?”

"Yes, I grew up here." Boss Mu looked at him suspiciously, as if he thought it was a bit strange for him to ask this: "I used to work in the city, but later I couldn't make it, so I came back."

Zheng Fa looked around the B&B.

It's a two-story building with modern decoration.

It can be seen that some European minimalist styles are popular in recent years.

It shouldn't be cheap.

"Boss, if you can't make it through this business, you're being modest. I'm afraid you'll return home in glory."

When Boss Mu heard this, he quickly waved his hands, but he couldn't help showing a smug look on his face.

"Boss, what is the origin of this Hongshan?"

On the side, Tang Lingwu also asked with great tact.

Zheng Fa praised him a lot.

Being asked questions by a pretty girl like Tang Lingwu, the boss seemed to be in a conversational mood.

"Hongshan, only locals like me know about this." He said with a hint of mystery: "Go up the mountain, and when you reach the back of the mountain, you will find a temple where the goddess Hongshan is enshrined."

“…”

Zheng Fa and the other two looked at each other. They really didn't know about this.

"Mrs. Hongshan?"

"Yes, according to the old legend, a few hundred years ago, one day, a rainbow suddenly fell in this mountain, and a fairy descended from the sky. She cured illnesses and saved lives in the village, and solved problems." The boss said, and he seemed very skilled in speaking: "Later, the legend of the Goddess of Rainbow Mountain was left behind, and this mountain was called Hongshan - I tell you, this goddess temple is very effective!"

"It doesn't work!"

Before Zheng Fa and the others could say anything, an old female voice started cursing.

An old lady who looked to be in her seventies or eighties walked out of the B&B.

Boss Mu shouted helplessly: "Granny! These are just legends in our village!"

"They're promoting this stuff online every day! It's all fake!" the old woman cursed, "When the village demolished the temple decades ago, we didn't see any gods strike us down."

"This is... just an anecdote, an old tourist attraction! I'm doing this to attract customers!"

"Old ass! If it weren't for that bastard from the Wang family getting rich and insisting that the feng shui on this mountain was good, and building a new one, there would be no such thing as a temple for the goddess - this temple is not even as big as your son!"

“…”

…

Zheng Fa and the other two said goodbye to the somewhat autistic Boss Mu and headed up the mountain.

They first visited the nursing home.

The main building of the nursing home is almost completed.

Walk into the courtyard and follow the path made of white stone slabs. On the right is a transplanted jungle and on the left is a mountain spring brought from the mountain.

Behind the bamboo forest is the main body of the nursing home, a three-story building in the shape of a Chinese character "品".

Both wings of the small building have only one floor, and only the middle one has the highest three floors.

The decoration style of this building is more classical, except that the walls are white and the tiles on the roof are green. Standing in the mountains, it complements the lush green mountains and white clouds in the sky, and it also has a sense of tranquility.

After passing the small building, there is a large open space.

Zheng Fa wanted to try cultivating spiritual plants in this place, so he just cleared the weeds and leveled the land, and there was no other decoration.

After walking across the open space, they arrived at the residence that Zheng Fa and the other two had reserved for themselves.

This is a two-story building, which is much higher than other places, as if overlooking the entire nursing home.

From the outside, the building seems to be embedded in the mountain wall, blending into the mountain. The building cannot be seen from a distance.

This was designed by Tang Lingwu.

As she walked, she introduced: "The first thing I consider about the place we live is privacy."

Zheng Fa nodded.

The three of them would engage in some feudal and superstitious activities from time to time, so it was indeed not good to be too high-profile.

"Build it here, the farthest from other people. In a couple of days, when the trees my mom bought arrive, we'll surround this place and you won't be able to see what we're doing even with a telescope."

"The large French windows here not only provide better lighting, but more importantly, the view down the mountain from this angle is the most beautiful."

Zheng Fa walked into the small building and looked out the window.

The mountain scenery is indeed unobstructed.

"Also, these furniture, appliances and decorations were all chosen by me at random... If you are not satisfied with anything, I will find someone to replace them!"

Tang Lingwu said again.

Zheng Fa turned to look at her, only to see that she was looking at him with a little trepidation.

Turn around and look inside.

This small building looks a bit quaint and even inconspicuous from the outside.

But the interior is very exquisite.

Zheng Fa had never lived in a nice house in modern times, but he could see that some of the furniture and electrical appliances here, and the layout of the entire house, all concealed Tang Lingwu's thoughts - it really couldn't be said to be casual.

The expensiveness and care can actually be seen at a glance...

"I am very satisfied."

Zheng Fa nodded slightly.

He is not a person who cares too much about external things.

What's more, it's not like he can't appreciate Tang Lingwu's thoughtfulness.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

"No other requests?"

Tang Lingwu pursed her lips and smiled, as if she was relieved, but she was also worried and asked another question.

Zheng Fa shook his head.

"I have!"

On the side, the old man in white suddenly said.

"ah?"

Tang Lingwu looked at the old man in confusion.

"My room, stay away from you two!" The old white man looked at them sideways with a look of disgust.

…

After visiting the nursing home, Zheng Fa began his most important mission of this trip to the capital - practicing Lingshan Dharma.

He stood in the open space.

With his eyes closed, he recalled the records of the headmaster in Lingshan Fa in his mind.

The terrain of Hongshan fits what the headmaster called the turtle and snake spiritual veins - according to the "Spiritual Veins Theory", the nursing home is located on the back of a turtle.

Zheng Fa opened his eyes and walked slowly on the ground.

His steps were erratic, yet seemed to follow a certain pattern, and his speed was getting faster and faster.

The two old men standing by felt a little dizzy, and in the end they couldn't even see his figure clearly.

Gradually, Zheng Fa's clothes seemed to be covered with starlight, and as he walked, the starlight turned into streams of light.

Even though it was summer and the sun was still high in the sky, the light around Zheng Fa still seemed dazzling to the old man Bai and the other man.

Suddenly, Zheng Fa stopped walking.

He flicked his right hand and two spirit-awakening talismans flew into the sky.

One flew to the highest point of the mountain, which is the top of the "turtle back".

One flew towards a slightly lower hill, which was the "snake head".

As the two talismans flew out, the starlight around Zheng Fa actually followed the two talismans and flew to two places - in the eyes of the old man Bai and the other man, the two talismans looked like two small kites.

And the starlight was like two faint lines, connecting Zheng Fa and the two talismans.

The two talismans flew so fast that they were completely invisible to the naked eye.

But in Zheng Fa's eyes, the two talismans quickly shattered as soon as they reached the target location, scattered into broken light spots, and seeped into the mountain.

Zheng Fa inexplicably had a feeling that he and the Hongshan Mountain beneath his feet seemed to be connected as one.

The spiritual energy in his dantian suddenly seemed to boil, turning into clouds and surging out of his body.

…

At the foot of the mountain, in the B&B that Zheng Fa had just left in the morning.

Boss Mu is doing a live broadcast to promote his homestay.

"Yes, yes, yes, two days and one night, only 198! Three days and two nights, as low as 248!"

"Only ten orders for the discount! Ten orders and it's gone!"

"What's fun? We have beautiful scenery here. It would be great to eat some farm food and go hiking!"

"Let me tell you, there is a legend about Hongshan Mountain in our area..."

He repeated the legend he had told Zheng Fa before.

There weren't many people in the live broadcast room, and everyone was saying "old-fashioned" and "unbelievable".

He was not discouraged and started talking about the village's farm dishes.

"Anchor! Anchor! Turn around!"

Suddenly, an audience member said.

"Look back?"

Boss Mu looked a little confused.

"It's happening! Goddess Hongshan has appeared!"

When Boss Mu turned around, he saw a rainbow bridge across the mountains, clear and beautiful.

"It hasn't rained in the past two days..."

Boss Mu muttered, and saw an even more surprising scene -

Above Rainbow Mountain, a huge flock of birds suddenly flew out. They flew in groups, circling the mountain top and the Rainbow Bridge.

The sound of birds singing echoed through the mountains, seeming extremely cheerful.

Boss Mu couldn't help but take two steps forward, wanting to take a closer look.

Then he saw his grandmother in the house, kneeling in front of the incense table, muttering to herself.

"Milk?"

"My lady, I didn't mean to offend you..."

"Milk?"

"Don't strike me, strike the old man from the Wang family. He was the leader back then!" His grandmother ignored him: "Even though he built a temple for you, his grandson Gouzi is also a conscienceless person who makes money - don't be fooled by him!"
