Chapter 12 Mountain God

The next morning, when Yu Chi treated Feng Wuyou, he sent him his own modified Soul-Returning Plum, which tasted closer to Jiang Suo's Soul-Snatching Incense.

"Mr. Wuyou, please be patient for now. This way, it will not be easy to be discovered. Mr. Wuqing has already sent people to investigate Jiang Suo."

Feng Wuyou thought it was nothing. He had been immersed in this suffocating plum fragrance for more than half a year. But he could wait a few more days.

What's more, this Soul-Returning Plum just happened to counteract Soul-Snatching Incense. He always felt that there was something very important that he had not thought of, and he needed this.

After he put away the things, he saw Yu Chi was about to leave, so he pulled Yu Chi's sleeve.

"Can I ask a favor of you?"

...

Yu Chi took Gu Jue and left the Feng family. Feng Wuqing was not there either. When Jiang Suo learned the news, he immediately went to Jiaoyue Pavilion with the Soul-Snatching Incense. When

he opened the door, there was an extremely elegant cold fragrance of winter plum blossoms. It was lit by Feng Wuyou early this morning because he wanted to get up earlier.

Feng Wuyou already knew it when Jiang Suo pushed the door open. He ignored it and sat by the window, supporting his chin with his hand, looking at the withered plum branches outside the window in a trance.

The smell of the cold fragrance of winter plum blossoms surrounded him and filled the entire bedroom.

The weather today was not good. The wind blew over with a chill. Smelling the fragrance of cold plum blossoms, he seemed to have returned to the end of winter in an unknown year in a trance.

The cold snow fluttered down, covering the ground. The white plum blossomed, and the accumulated snow pressed on the white plum, knocking down a broken white flower, which fell to the ground.

He seemed to see it again, seeing the snow melt, spring coming, the spring breeze blowing, and along with it, a warm voice sounding at the door.

"I... the snow scene,... ten miles..., want to... chase the moon with you... little Wuyou."

The words were too hazy, and Feng Wuyou couldn't hear clearly, but the sound was like a drumstick, hitting Feng Wuyou's heart again and again, allowing him to clearly hear the sound of his heartbeat, again and again...

...

"Wuyou, Wuyou..."

The soft calls brought Feng Wuyou out of his memories. He tilted his head in a daze and met Jiang Suo's eyes.

Jiang Suo saw that he had come back to his senses, smiled at him, and sat down beside him. Feng Wuyou moved aside imperceptibly.

Listening to Jiang Suo's caring words, at the end, he asked the question that he asked Feng Wuyou almost every day.

"Wuyou, do you still remember Mingze?"

This question has been asked by Jiang Suo almost every day when he came to see him in the past one or two months.

Feng Wuyou pursed his lips, staring at the teacup on the table without blinking, and finally closed his eyes and shook his head very slowly.

The voice as soft as a mosquito rang in Jiang Suo's ears like the sound of nature. He heard Feng Wuyou say.

"I don't remember, I don't know him."

...

At that time, Yu Chi and Gu Jue had already left the gate of Mingyue City, and were carried by the Feng family's carriage, heading east.

"Where are we going?"

Gu Jue opened the curtain, and the scenery on the roadside passed by quickly. After just two glances, he put it down. Yu Chi sat aside with his eyes closed and rested.

"Lonely Moon Cliff."

"Ah? Are we going hiking?"

Why did he feel that Lonely Moon Cliff sounded familiar, as if he had heard of it somewhere.

Yu Chi opened his eyes a little, caught a glimpse of Gu Jue's puzzled expression, and chuckled.

"Yes, climb to the top of the mountain, and push you down when you are not prepared. I can save a lot of expenses."

Gu Jue folded his arms and leaned against the wall of the carriage.

"Then I must take you with me. If we have to die, we die together."

Yu Chi came to his side, passed his hand through Gu Jue's waist and pressed on the seat, and stopped when his nose was about to touch Gu Jue's nose.

Those seductive fox eyes looked at Gu Jue's eyes with a smile, and the familiar cold fragrance filled Gu Jue's breath.

"Why, you want to follow me even if you become a ghost?"

Because they were too close, his breath fell on Gu Jue's face when he spoke, warm and a little itchy, and waves surged in his heart, drowning Gu Jue's mind, making his mind blank and unable to say anything.

At this time, the carriage bumped a bit, probably because it ran over a stone, and Yu Chi couldn't hold on, and his lips fell on the corner of Gu Jue's lips.

Cold.

This was Gu Jue's first reaction.

Both of them seemed to be unresponsive and in a daze. Yu Chi's eyes were slightly open. It was the first time that Gu Jue saw such a dazed expression on Yu Chi's face.

He blinked his eyes, his throat rolled, and the coolness at the corners of his lips was still there. Yu Chi's breath fell on his face, and he finally came back to his senses. In an instant, his face turned red to his neck, and he pushed Yu Chi away.

He covered his mouth and leaned his head to the side, wishing he could embed himself in the carriage. It was too dramatic, so sad...

Yu Chi reached out and touched his lips. When he saw Gu Jue's reaction, he suddenly felt that it was nothing, and it was not disgusting. It seemed quite interesting.

Little Gu Jue, so innocent!

The coachman only took them to the foot of the Solitary Moon Cliff, and they had to walk the rest of the way by themselves. After they got off the carriage and the coachman left, the two did not say a word.

Gu Jue, carrying a small bag, would secretly look at Yu Chi, wanting to know how Yu Chi would react. He thought Yu Chi did not know he was looking at him.

In fact, Yu Chi saw every little movement of his secretly looking at him.

They went up along the Solitary Moon Cliff, and there was a small village at the foot of the mountain. Yu Chi asked several people about the situation of the Solitary Moon Cliff and heard the legend of the Solitary Moon Cliff.

During the repeated inquiries, Gu Jue tasted something wrong, and he remembered.

Wasn't Lonely Moon Cliff the one he had heard of when he climbed the roof of Feng Wuyou, the eldest son of the Feng family?

That person called Mingze seemed to be at Lonely Moon Cliff.

After Yu Chi thanked another person, Gu Jue pulled Yu Chi's sleeve.

"Are we here to look for Mingze?"

"You're not stupid. I thought you couldn't remember Mingze was at Lonely Moon Cliff?"

Yu Chi smiled as he spoke, and took Gu Jue out from the east of the village. In the bushes on the east, he found a path leading up the mountain.

The villagers just told him that if he went up from here, he would see a thatched house halfway up the mountain, where a mountain keeper lived.

The villagers below didn't know what the mountain keeper looked like, because they had never seen him, and no one had ever been up there.

There is a legend about Lonely Moon Cliff that on the top of the mountain, there is a mountain god who protects the area, blesses the earth, and protects the mortals.

They think they are insignificant humans, and they dare not try to disturb the tranquility of the mountain god. Every year, the offerings are made by the river behind the mountain.

There was a waterfall that reached the sky. They firmly believed that it was pouring down from the top of the mountain. It was a blessing from the mountain god.

Yu Chi and Gu Jue walked steadily up until the sun was high in the sky. Between the mottled shadows of the trees, they looked up and saw the sunlight hanging in the sky.

The Lone Moon Cliff was indeed very large. It was called the Lone Moon Cliff, but in fact it was several peaks connected. At the foot of the peaks, there was a small village.

"That Jiang Suo has been looking for it for nearly a year and still can't find it. Can we find it?"

Gu Jue followed behind Yu Chi, holding a coat that Yu Chi had taken off due to the heat.

The person in front, who was originally so exquisite that his hair was even more exquisite, finally lost to Lieyang, tied up a high ponytail, and opened his collar a little.

Gu Jue was carrying a bag and holding Yu Chi's clothes. Because the mountain road was difficult to walk, every time Yu Chi leaned over to pull Gu Jue, Gu Jue could see the clavicle looming under his collar.

"We may not find it, but Jiang Suo will definitely not find it."

Gu Jue paused while holding Yu Chi's hand, raised his eyes to look at Yu Chi's face, and the sunlight fell on Yu Chi through the mottled shade of the trees, coating him with a layer of broken light and shadow.

"He, never came to look for me."

"Hmm~"

Yu Chi pulled Gu Jue up.

After all, although the Lonely Moon Cliff was large, if someone was interested, they could get a lot of clues by asking in the village at the foot of the mountain. Judging from what Gu Jue found out last time, Jiang Suo should want Feng Wuyou, but Mingze occupied too big a position in Feng Wuyou's heart. As long as Mingze was there, Feng Wuyou would never belong to him alone.

Therefore, Jiang Suo could not really look for Mingze. If he did

, he would only make things difficult for himself. It can also be seen from the fact that he used the Soul-Snatching Incense on Feng Wuyou that he was not a selfless person and would not give up Feng Wuyou.

There was indeed a thatched house halfway up the mountain. It was so run-down that the two of them even looked at each other when they saw it, and both felt that there should be no one living there.

Gu Jue, with a try-it attitude, knocked on the rotten door of the thatched house.

Surprisingly, a person really came out, an elderly white-haired man, blind in one eye, leaning on a cane.

Because of his old age, his other eye couldn't see clearly, and his ears didn't work well.

When Gu Jue greeted him, he couldn't hear clearly, half relying on listening and half relying on guessing.

Yu Chi asked patiently word by word, and the old man answered slowly. At the end, he turned around and pointed a way to Yu Chi and the others, and looked up the mountain again.

He said.

"No one has been here for many years. It seems someone went up there last year, but they didn't pass by me."

Gu Jue didn't understand. "Then how do you know someone went up there last year?"

The old man smiled kindly.

"Because last year, I heard a dragon roar coming from the mountain. It must be the mountain god waking up. I can't remember the exact time, but it seems to be in August?"
