All of the above was heard from his parents and fellow villagers.
As the story was too bizarre and thrilling, it was impossible to verify whether it was true or not. Regardless of whether the foreigners believed it or not, the locals believed it anyway.
Actually, I'm quite curious about this legend. There were a few times when I wanted to go and take a look behind my parents 'backs. The strange thing was that I was discovered every time and was dragged back.
"That was because I tried to inform your parents. I was worried that you would go to such a dangerous place.”After listening to my explanation, the water elementalist hid his hands in his sleeves and said indifferently.
Even though I was surprised, I could only curl my lips helplessly. Who asked me to be related to him since I was young and destined to be his bride?
Since Boss Zhao wants us to go to the Mountain God Temple, let's say: "Is there a problem with the Mountain God Temple?”I looked at Boss Zhao with my eyes wide open.
"Yes." Boss Zhao frowned." Recently, there was another girl who went to the back mountain and never came back. Your mission this time is to do your best to save this girl and find out the truth about the back mountain temple.”
I don't know if it was because I wanted to explore the origin of the ghost stories that my parents used to scare me when I was young, or because I was under pressure from receiving such a very difficult task, but just as I was about to confidently agree to Boss Zhao's request, a bone-chilling chill instantly swept through my entire body. My face instantly turned pale, and the resentment in my body erupted again.
The water elementalist quickly noticed that something was wrong with me. He rushed to my side and held my shaky shoulders, his eyes filled with worry.
"Boss Zhao, I'll handle the Mountain God Temple alone. Can Diu Diu stay with you?”The water elementalist helped me relieve my pain while pleading with me. Although this Boss Zhao doesn't look like he's easy to talk to, he shouldn't be a bad person. Otherwise, he wouldn't have helped us last time. Leaving me here, who would occasionally get sick, might be the best choice.
However, when I think about how the water elementalist went to the back mountain alone to experience all sorts of dangerous things, I just can't relax. I tried my best to suppress the pain in my body as I tightly held onto the water elementalist's hand.
"I don't want to stay here. If we want to go, we'll go together!”
"Listen to me. It's hard to tell if you'll be lucky or unlucky this time.”The water elementalist caressed my hair and gently advised me.
"No, I must go with you!”I shook my head, my eyes filled with determination.
Boss Zhao sighed deeply as he watched our interactions. He patted the water elementalist who was at a loss about what to do in the face of my willfulness."The girl is deeply in love with you. Since she is so insistent, take her with you.”
"But her body…"
"It's okay. I have a few Breeze Pills here.”Boss Zhao took out a small bottle from somewhere and handed it to the water elementalist." Give it to the girl. It will ensure her health for the next few days. This way, you can bring her to the back of the mountain without worry."”
Opening the bottle cap, the water elementalist poured out a pill and handed it to me. The green pill looked like the cold medicine I took when I was young. I swallowed the pill in one gulp under the gaze of the water elementalist.
"Now you can rest assured that I can follow you around.”I smiled mischievously.
The water elementalist shook his head, expressing his helplessness towards me.
Boss Zhao said that tomorrow was the night of the full moon. Although it was more dangerous, they would definitely find something. After bidding Boss Zhao a simple farewell, water elementalists and I held hands and left the paper shop. Just as we stepped out of the shop, the top of the paper shop was once again enveloped by a red barrier.
After an entire day, water elementalists and I are tired. Thus, the water elementalist carried me and flew back to Qin Shui Bay. Tomorrow, we will be leaving for the back mountain. We have to go back and make preparations.
After resting for a night and an entire day, when the sky darkened the next day, we quietly bypassed the village and set off towards the dangerous and mysterious back mountain.
There were no traces of people all year round. The road leading to the Mountain God Temple was covered with all kinds of weeds, giving people a desolate and cold feeling. I followed closely behind Shui Xiu Shen. He pulled me and we carefully walked into the depths of the mountain. From time to time, the sounds of small animals could be heard in the grass. In the quiet and terrifying night, there was an inexplicable horror that made people tremble with fear.
A bright moon slowly appeared from behind the clouds.
After walking for an unknown amount of time, the village that was originally dimly lit could no longer be seen. All that was left was the quiet mountains. The cold moonlight cast a mottled shadow through the dense branches. Occasionally, the hooting of owls could be heard. It was inexplicably terrifying in the terrifyingly quiet wilderness.
The deeper I went into the forest, the more scared I became. Although I had followed the water elementalist to the tomb of Concubine Xi in the Dragon Gazing Ridge, the quiet mountain in front of me was even more terrifying.
Just as I was about to break down, the water elementalist in front of me suddenly stopped. I didn't notice his movements and bumped into him, giving myself a fright.
"We're here." The water elementalist naturally shielded me behind him and pointed forward. Following the direction he pointed, I saw the Mountain God Temple standing alone in the mountains behind the heavy branches.
I looked at the temple and couldn't help but click my tongue.
On the ruined temple walls, twisted Silk was climbing. The broken door was decaying under the white moonlight. Half of it was rotten on the ground, and all kinds of small mushrooms grew out. The wild grass in front of the door made it look like a horror movie.
Just one look was enough to give people nightmares for the entire night.
Just as we were hesitating whether we should approach, a soul-stirring cry suddenly sounded around us. That cry came from afar, and then from afar. It was neither close nor distant, floating in the air, echoing in my ears, and approaching my heart.
Sensing that there seemed to be some unusual power hidden in the crying, the water elementalist pulled me to his chest with one hand and took a stance with the other. He looked around vigilantly, prepared to deal with any danger that suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Who knew that the other party didn't have any intention of attacking us immediately. After the miserable cries, there was a sinister and terrifying laughter. It was sharp and miserable. These two sounds continuously attacked my nerves. I felt uncomfortable all over and was about to lose consciousness.
When the water elementalist saw this, he placed a hand on my back and transferred true qi to me, ensuring that I would remain awake under the sound wave attack. A refreshing aura circulated through my limbs and bones, gradually making me feel better.
Right at this moment, a white ribbon flew towards the water elementalist. Before I could shout, the water elementalist hugged me and retreated, dodging the ribbon's attack.
Immediately after, countless silk ribbons attacked us. I only felt dazzled and allowed the water elementalist to carry me and dodge left and right. The water elementalist was unable to fight back because he was holding me in his arms. We were quickly forced into the grass that was half the height of a human in front of the temple.
The white ribbon stopped attacking.
Following that, a sharp laughter rang out. Numerous white ribbons gathered together to form a sphere. They intertwined violently before exploding in an instant. A female ghost with disheveled hair and dressed in white stood in front of me and the water elementalist.#
