Chapter 5: Going Down the Mountain



Her heart was about to die. Suddenly, a long "No" was heard in the forest, startling the birds and making them fly away.

Although she was very reluctant to be an impolite child, Su Muxi still lashed out at the air.

"You old fellow, how can you cheat me like this..."

Su Muxi kept muttering to herself to vent her anger. Although she was unwilling, there was nothing she could do.

Quickly eat the fruits around you to temporarily fill your empty stomach.

I found some more fruits near the mountain spring, washed them and put them in my bag.

Squatting by the mountain spring, she combed her two messy black braids in front of her reflection, then quickly put on her bag and headed down the mountain.

Following Yixuan's guidance, the journey was very smooth.

After resting three times to replenish his strength, Su Muxi finally arrived at the door of a farmer's house at the foot of the mountain just after dark.

Su Muxi, bent over and supporting her legs, with sweat all over her face, finally smiled.

"We're finally here. If we keep walking, my little feet will be broken."

After taking a break and breathing evenly, Su Muxi stood up and walked forward to knock on the door when Yixuan's voice rang out.

"Girl, wait a moment."

Su Muxi, who didn't know the truth, was confused.

"Master, what's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Um."

Hearing Yixuan's affirmative answer, Su Muxi ran back as if a wild beast was about to break out of the closed door in front of her.

"Hahaha, girl, you're a little too timid. I haven't said anything yet, why are you running away?"

Yixuan's laughing laughter continued to be heard. Su Muxi felt embarrassed and stopped to pretend to be calm.

"You told me so many ghost stories along the way today, so of course I was scared when you said there was something wrong with this family.

Besides, I'm just a kid, so it's normal for me to be afraid."

On the way down the mountain today, Yixuan told her about the development and cultivation methods of Changyang Sect.

When Su Muxi heard that practicing magic could exorcise demons and catch ghosts, she immediately became excited and asked Yixuan to tell her many stories about his experience in catching ghosts and exorcising demons.

She was so excited after hearing this that she decided to learn from Yixuan and eliminate all demons and monsters.

Yixuan was teasing Su Muxi on purpose, but he didn't expect that the little girl was also stubborn and would get angry when provoked. It seems that it will be easy to control her in the future.

"Girl, did you hear the baby crying in the room just now when you were outside the door?"

"Ah, I was just having fun and didn't pay attention to these things."

After saying that, Su Muxi walked towards the door and listened.

"Master, there is indeed the sound of a child crying, but isn't it normal for children to cry? Why do you say there is a problem?"

"The deceased old man in this family loved the child, and his soul has always been with the child. The child's yang energy is insufficient, which affects the child's health. If this continues for a long time, the child will definitely die young.

Our cultivation emphasizes cause and effect. If you ask someone for help today and they are willing to help you.

Then you will help them solve the problem.”

On the way down the mountain, the master talked about cause and effect. One can glimpse the secrets of heaven through cultivation, but one must follow the right path, otherwise one will go astray and not have a good end.

Things like fortune-telling for others require accumulating merit to offset the harm to oneself.

"Master, what should I do?"

Su Muxi took out a small cloth bag from the cloth bag on her back as instructed by Yixuan.

There were many talisman papers inside. He took out one of them, folded it and put it in his pocket. He packed up the cloth bag, took a deep breath, and knocked hard on the farmer's door.

“Knock, knock, knock…”

After knocking on the door, Su Muxi stood quietly at the door waiting.

A moment later, a loud male voice sounded from behind the door.

"Who is it?"

"Wuwu, uncle, please help me, I want to go home."

Zhang Dashan heard the sweet voice of a baby outside the door and quickly opened it.

I saw a little girl with tears all over her face, her face was black and smeared, she was looking at me with tears in her eyes while sniffing her nose.

"Uncle, I can't find my home. Please help me."

Zhang Dashan looked at the little girl distressedly, wiping her tears and comforting her: "Daughter, don't cry. Are you alone? Where are your parents?"

After saying that, he looked around outside the courtyard gate.

Su Muxi sniffed and sobbed, "Uncle, I'm alone."

Seeing that there was no one around, Zhang Dashan picked up Su Muxi and continued to comfort her while closing the door: "Daughter, don't cry, come back to the house with uncle first."

Su Muxi stopped crying and loosened her left hand that was tightening her thigh.

I secretly admire those actors who can cry when they say they will.

It’s also my master’s fault for forcing me to play this role.

She said she was too young and it would be abnormal for her to appear here alone without crying or making a fuss.

I tried for a long time but couldn't cry, so I could only pinch my thigh.

Zhang Dashan carried Su Muxi into the house. A woman in her thirties was walking around the house with a crying baby in her arms.

Seeing Zhang Dashan coming in with a child in his arms, he asked in confusion, "Dashan, where did the child come from?"

"I don't know either. The child was crying alone at our door, so I brought him home."

As Zhang Dashan spoke, he put Su Muxi on a chair beside him and walked towards the woman.

"Guizhi, let me hold Jianguo. You wash the child and ask about her family situation."

Li Guizhi handed the child in her arms to Zhang Dashan and looked at Su Muxi, who was covered in dirt. Her cloth shoes were covered in mud, so dirty that the original color could not be seen.

I don’t know what happened to this child and how he ended up like this.

Bending down, he smiled at Su Muxi and said, "Girl, what's your name? Where are you from? Why are you alone in the mountains?"
