Chapter 130 Chapter 130 Search (Twenty-one)

Then they were hungry again, so they went to find a place to eat. Seeing that they didn’t believe her, the aunt couldn’t stop them, so she just shook her head and said, “These young people, what I said is true.”

Ning Helan thought for a while, and asked the aunt again, “Aunt, what did your grandson encounter on the mountain? Can you tell me in detail?”

The aunt nodded, “Of course I can. I remember my grandson said that they clearly climbed up along the bluestone steps, but the steps seemed infinitely long, and they couldn’t reach the top no matter how hard they climbed. Later, one of the children said that they should take a shortcut, but when they ran to the side path, they found that they didn’t recognize the surrounding roads. You know that they all ran in the mountains from a young age. ""

Paled, and the aunt continued: "Fortunately

, they met the priests. When they came down, they were more than ten in the evening, and our parents almost nodded." There is nothing, I talk to themselves. " " "

" " ." The two thanked the aunt , and the aunt had a good intention to persuade them not to go up the mountain . Although they verbally agreed not to go up the mountain, they came here just to visit Linglan Temple, so they still walked to the foot of Linglan Mountain. Where there are monks, the mountains and rivers are basically beautiful, because the mountain air nourishes people, and the qi of the monks can nourish the mountains, so a virtuous cycle is achieved. The more fairy mountains there are, the easier it is for immortals to appear, and the mountains where immortals live are generally desired by monks. Linglan Temple is also one of the famous Taoist temples. It is said that coming here to make some small wishes is particularly effective. What's more, from April to May every year, the bell orchids are in full bloom. There will be bracelets, pendants, and bell orchid peripherals woven with bell orchids, which are very popular among young men and women. Therefore, every year in the season of spring and summer, this place is a hot spot for tourism. There are already a lot of fallen leaves on the bluestone steps leading up the mountain. It looks like no one has been here for a while. The chicken flapped its wings and looked cute in its pink Hello Kitty outfit. It was very excited outside. It wanted to eat the bugs on the ground and peck at the fallen leaves next to it. It was never idle. As the surroundings were very quiet, Ning Helan did not take the initiative to speak, so Yun Yan could only make small talk: "Ning Helan, is this chicken a mythical beast?" "Well, it seems to be called Chongming Bird." Ning Helan said. Yun Yan's eyes lit up: "Is it the legendary double-headed bird? I've only seen it in books. So when will it turn into a double-headed bird?" Ning Helan glanced at the rooster over there: "It depends on its mood." For the rooster, it will not change unless it is absolutely necessary. After all, it is very harmful to the body, and the rooster will fall into a deep sleep afterwards, sleeping for three or four days at a short time, and more than a week at a long time. Therefore, Ning Helan did not deliberately let the rooster change. Whether it changes or not depends entirely on the rooster's own mood. Yun Yan felt a little regretful. He really wanted to see the double-headed bird. According to legend, this bird has double pupils and gorgeous wings. When it spreads its wings, it almost blocks out the sun. Although this chicken looks funny, it would be great if he could see it when it shows its true form. Since there are stone steps along the mountain road and the slope is relatively gentle, it is not difficult to climb up. After walking for an hour, the surroundings gradually became foggy. "Where are we climbing to?" Yun Yan walked to the side of the stairs and looked down. "It seems we have reached the top of the mountain?" Ning Helan raised his eyes and looked up along the stairs. The stairs were so long that he could not see the end at a glance, but Linglan Mountain was not very high. It was conservatively estimated that it would take at least another ten minutes to climb. He raised his hands and opened his palms to feel the downwind direction. The breeze blew from the front. He did not feel any evil spirit in it, and it seemed that he did not touch the barrier. "Chuck." Brother Ji had already walked to the front, and the fog around him seemed to be getting thicker and thicker. "Let's walk for a while." Ning Helan said, and Yun Yan nodded. After walking for about ten minutes, Yun Yan stopped and said, "No, I feel like we are going in circles." He took out a piece of talisman paper and muttered something. Then he threw the talisman paper out. The talisman paper flew to the front with a "whoosh" sound and then suddenly caught fire. Ning Helan's eyes darkened. Yun Yan obviously didn't expect this either. He threw out another talisman paper. The talisman paper flew into the air and caught fire at the same position and turned to ashes. "It looks like we have entered the barrier." Ning Helan said. He saw that Brother Ji was still planning to go forward, so he called out to it, "Brother Ji, don't run around." "Click." Brother Ji shook himself, and the hat on his head fell off, revealing a bald head. "Oh my god!" Someone just came out of the woods nearby. He saw Ji Ge and subconsciously tried to hide, but he almost bumped into Ji Ge's bald head. He was so scared that his feet became unstable and he fell directly into the grass nearby. "Hey." Ji Ge blinked his wise eyes. Ning Helan recognized that this person was one of the donkey friends just now. The man was carrying a backpack. When he saw Ning Helan and Yun Yan, he got excited: "Hey, we just met at the town gate. Do you remember him?" Ning Helan said nothing. Yun Yan looked behind him and said, "I remember. Why are you alone?" "Hey, there were originally six of us. But we disappeared while walking on the mountain. When I came to my senses, I was the only one left." The man wiped the sweat from his forehead. "And there was such a heavy fog. It was really weird." Ning Helan said, "Where's your phone? Don't you use it to contact your friends?" "No signal, hi, I heard before that there is internet here, but now, let alone internet, there is no signal." He took out his phone and waved his arm, and the screen showed no signal. Yun Yan also took out his phone and took a look: "Hey, my phone has no signal either." After putting away his phone, the man looked at Ning Helan and Yun Yan: "From your clothes, you are also Taoists, right? Hey, can you ask your Taoist friends to help find someone?" "We are here to travel too." Ning Helan said, "The aunt just now said that people are not allowed to come up, so why did you come up anyway?"

The man grinned embarrassedly: "Since we were already here and it was easy to get lost, we thought it was no big deal and we could just gather at the destination. Who knew it would turn out like this."

After saying that, he extended his hand to the two of them in a friendly manner: "Hey, my name is Qian Jin, what are your names?"

"Ning Helan."

"Yun Yan."

"Oh, I heard your names and you are people who practice Taoism. When you came here, did you see my companions? Three men and two women."

Ning Helan shook her head, and Yun Yan also said that he didn't see them.

Qian Jin put his hands on his waist and sighed: "Where did all these people go? They followed me when I went up the mountain just now, but when I turned around, they disappeared!"

"Did you also climb up along this staircase?" Ning Helan asked him.

Qian Jin nodded: "Yes, we arrived ten minutes earlier than you. We couldn't reach the top of the stairs no matter how hard we climbed. Then we saw a small path next to it. We thought that the Taoists on the mountain might have walked there by themselves, so we took the small path instead. Unexpectedly, fog came up and everyone disappeared."

Qian Jin called out his companions' names a few times, but I don't know if it was because of the heavy fog, it felt like the sound didn't get through.

"Ning Helan." Yun Yan walked up to him to see what he was going to do.

Although Ning Helan was busy looking for Mingxin, he couldn't ignore such a living person. He was about to speak when he heard rustling sounds coming from the bushes. "
