The valley, which was originally shrouded in a thick curtain of rain, is now slowly undergoing a strange change.
The rain curtain seemed to be slowly parted by an invisible giant hand, and the sunlight shone down without obstruction, and the sky suddenly cleared.
A dazzling ray of light shone from the depths of the valley.
Amidst the light, a mountain peak, shrouded in layers of swirling clouds, gradually emerged, appearing and disappearing in the mist.
The clouds and mist sometimes drift like a light veil, and sometimes surge like ocean waves, adorning the mountain peaks in a dreamlike and enchanting way.
At the mountaintop, the pristine white snow shimmered with tiny sparkles under the sunlight, as if inlaid with countless dazzling diamonds.
Around the mountain peaks, waterfalls cascade down steep cliffs, plunging into deep pools in the valleys, splashing up layers of white water and creating a deafening roar.
A lush forest came into view, with all sorts of exotic flowers blooming in profusion.
The petals, adorned with glistening water droplets, shimmered with a captivating brilliance under the light.
Even more amazing is that a huge rainbow bridge spans the sky above the valley.
Seven colors—red, orange, yellow, green, cyan, blue, and purple—intertwine to form a magnificent picture. "This...this is [Hidden Fairy Trail in the Mist]?"
Xiaomi's eyes widened, her face filled with shock and surprise, her voice trembling slightly with excitement.
Standing to the side, Master Jia couldn't help but exclaim, "It's magnificent! It's like a fairyland!"
Yunwei gazed quietly ahead, tears glistening in her eyes—tears of excitement and joy.
Perhaps in her heart, she had already seen hope of healing herself.
This kind of beauty is so unreal.
If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, who would believe it?
Just moments before, it was pouring rain, and the world was in chaos.
In the blink of an eye, the dark clouds receded like a tide, and the sunlight shone down without obstruction, suddenly clearing the sky.
"Look at the rainbow bridge! A white fox...it's a white fox! There really are white foxes, the legend is true!"
Xiaomi, who was taking pictures with her phone, pointed ahead and was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes.
On the other side of the bridge, a snow-white fox stood quietly.
Its fur shimmered with a soft sheen in the sunlight, and the sacred aura it exuded inspired both awe and warmth. The white fox gazed at us silently, its eyes seemingly able to see into every corner of our hearts.
A moment later, it slowly raised its front paws and stepped onto the rainbow bridge.
When the white fox reached the middle of the bridge, it suddenly stopped, slowly turned its head, and looked at us again.
His eyes seemed to hold endless meaning, as if conveying some ineffable message to us.
"Is it...is it telling us to go back in time?"
Xiaomi leaned forward slightly, eager to catch up.
Master Jia could no longer contain his excitement; his eyes gleamed with a frenzied light, and he kept muttering, "[Hidden Immortal Traces in the Mist]..."
As if driven by a mysterious force, he was the first to lose his composure and rush towards the white fox.
Xiaomi followed closely behind, calling out, "Wait for me, don't go, wait for me..."
She ran until her face was flushed, her hair flying wildly in the wind, completely oblivious to the danger beneath her feet.
For some reason, a strong sense of unease welled up inside me.
An indescribable feeling made me vaguely sense that something was wrong.
It all happened so suddenly and so coincidentally.
From the sudden downpour to the rainbow bridge and the white fox that appeared the moment the sun came out, it all seemed as if it had been meticulously arranged by an invisible hand.
I always felt that countless dangers were hidden in this seemingly beautiful fairyland, as if pairs of eyes were watching our every move in the darkness.
I grabbed Yunwei and whispered, "Yunwei, something's not right here. It's too weird. We can't just go with them like this."
A hint of doubt flashed in Yunwei's eyes: "I also find it strange, but this is the legendary [Hidden Immortal Trace in the Mist]. It's not surprising that such strange phenomena occur. Perhaps, my face really can be healed..."
Even so, her feet seemed to move uncontrollably toward the Rainbow Bridge.
Just then, the white fox suddenly let out a clear cry.
The sound echoed through the valley, stirring a strange impulse in everyone's hearts.
The white fox's figure gradually blurred in the light of the rainbow bridge, eventually disappearing into that dazzling light.
Upon seeing the white fox disappear, Yunwei, who had been walking slowly, instantly lost her mind and took off chasing after the direction in which the white fox had disappeared.
If only we had a compass, we could observe the surrounding energy field.
There was no compass, but he did pull out half a pack of cigarettes.
Seeing that half-pack of cigarettes reminded me of a method that Master Jin had once taught me.
It is said that one can observe the direction of the smoke from a lit cigarette to determine whether the hallucination is caused by excessive yin energy.
No matter how hard I tried, the lighter flame would always be extinguished by a gust of wind the moment it touched the cigarette, and I just couldn't light it.
strangeness.
Where did the wind come from?
I turned to look at the side, full of doubt.
I turned my head and saw a little girl, about five or six years old, squatting down next to me.
Her little face was round and chubby, like a freshly steamed bun, white with a rosy tint, so tender it looked like you could squeeze water out of it.
She had two cute little pigtails tied in her hair.
Two fluffy white balls were still hanging from her little bun, so soft and cuddly that you just wanted to reach out and touch them. The little girl acted as if she didn't even see me, squatting on the ground, her big, watery eyes blinking as she stared at the lighter in my hand.
I inexplicably lit a fire with a lighter.
"call!"
The little girl puffed out her cheeks and gently blew on the flame.
Seeing the flames blown out, a bright smile instantly bloomed on her face, her eyes narrowed into crescent moons, and two deep dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.
Strange, where did this little girl come from in this deep mountain forest?
Could it be...?
My heart was pounding as I thought of the white fox from earlier.
