Chapter 370: Huang Feiyan's Tablet
After getting the consent, Granny Li slowly raised her head and looked at Ning Changge's face carefully.
Her eyes, which were originally somewhat cloudy, suddenly became exceptionally clear. After looking for a long time, she slowly asked:
"I wonder if you have ever been to our Hong Town before?"
What a strange question! Ning Changge was slightly stunned, then shook his head and said, "This is my first time here."
The light in Granny Li's eyes disappeared. "Thank you, Immortal Ning, for telling me. I will take you to the back mountain right away."
Ning Changge nodded slightly: "Okay."
Li Qiuxiang walked slowly in front with a cane, leading the way.
Ning Changge and Zhu Liuying, who was wearing a veil, followed behind him side by side.
Sniffing the delicate body fragrance emanating from the girl, Ning Changge suddenly spoke, lowered his voice, and asked:
"Aying, does your mother-in-law know something?"
Zhu Liuying shook her head. "Brother, you don't have to pay attention to mother-in-law. She used to say strange things, and I was annoyed by them."
Ning Changge glanced at Li Qiuxiang's hunched back and frowned slightly, "Is that so..."
But the question Li Qiuxiang just asked herself was very strange. Had she been here before? Did she mistake herself for someone else?
Of course Ning Changge thought about asking Li Qiuxiang directly, but the problem was, how could a person tell outsiders the secrets in his heart.
"Forget it. Maybe it's just like what Aying said. The old lady is old and her brain is a little abnormal."
Ning Changge didn't think about it anymore. The most important thing now was Huang Feiyan.
After all, he had promised Si Niang and a deceased person that he would help them find Miss Huang.
An hour later.
We have arrived at Qingqiu Mountain, the mountain behind Caomiao Village.
Ning Changge looked around and saw that it was just as Aunt Wang said. The inky fog was like an upside-down bowl, directly submerging the mountain that was over a hundred meters high.
At first glance, I thought it was some kind of mountain protection formation, but upon closer inspection, it was actually a natural wonder.
There is no formation within the Nine Realms that can escape the eyes of formation master Ning Changge, unless it is not a formation at all.
The most eye-catching thing is the appearance of the mountain. From a distance, it looks like a living fox howling to the sky.
Especially the fox head on the top of the mountain that is not covered by the fog. It is lifelike and looks like a real fox head from a distance.
"Could it be that the real body of this mountain is the thousand-year-old demon fox that Aunt Wang mentioned?"
Suddenly, an incredible guess emerged in Ning Changge's heart.
At this time, Granny Li raised her hand and pointed to a narrow path in front of her and said:
"Just keep going up this road and you'll be able to enter the mountain."
"My Lord, I will not accompany you. Let Aying accompany you. My old bones can't stand the walk any more."
"Don't worry, Aying is my granddaughter. She comes here to worship every year. She knows the way, and the mountain god also knows her. He will not let you get lost."
You old lady, why didn't you tell us earlier that Aying knew the way? We have to walk so slowly all the way... Ning Changge looked at the white-haired old lady unhappily and said:
"Thank you for leading the way, grandma. Aying and I will go in. You can find a cool place to rest while we go down the mountain."
After thanking Granny Li, Ning Changge followed Zhu Liuying into the narrow path.
Li Qiuxiang stared blankly at Ning Changge's back which was gradually shrouded by the mist, and whispered softly:
"But, they are so similar..."
......
As soon as Ning Changge entered the narrow and winding path, the fog around him was like Big Bad Wolf seeing Lazy Sheep, and it ran towards him desperately.
I couldn't see the direction clearly to begin with, and now I can't get in. I can't see like a blind person, so how can I get in?
I couldn't use my spiritual sense, and all I could sense was a vast expanse of white.
Fortunately, Hongye can still teleport, otherwise Ning Changge would be a little uneasy.
After all, if a Nie Xiaoqian suddenly emerged from the mountain and flew to his ear and whispered a breath.
That’s it, the Undead Knight has no choice but to do it.
"You're here." A soft voice like a whisper suddenly came to my ears.
Ning Changge felt like he was hallucinating, "Aying, is it you who is talking?"
"Brother, what did you call me for?"
The girl's clear and pleasant voice rang in his ears, and Ning Changge suddenly felt his hand being held by something soft. Before he could react, he felt a sudden pulling force on his hand.
Then, the girl's puzzled voice was heard.
"It's so strange. My mother-in-law has brought people up the mountain before, but there has never been such thick fog!"
As he spoke, Zhu Liuying vigorously waved away the fog around them, most of which were next to Ning Changge.
Ning Changge looked down at the slender hand in his hand. It turned out that it was Aying who had just pulled him out of the fog.
Then he raised his head and looked around. Although there was still fog everywhere, at least he could see the road vaguely and was no longer blind.
"Aying, did you hear any strange noises just now?"
Ning Changge always felt that he was not hallucinating just now.
When Zhu Liuying heard this, she immediately moved closer to Ning Changge and said, "Brother Ning, don't scare me. I'm scared."
Although nothing had ever happened when I came here with my mother-in-law before, this mountain is shrouded in fog all year round, which is a bit spooky.
Ning Changge held the soft little hand in her hand and chuckled, "It's okay, big brother just had hallucinations, let's go to the place where you and grandma usually worship."
After saying that, he gently squeezed Zhu Liuying's palm, signaling her not to be afraid.
The eldest brother squeezed my hand again. I really wanted him to use more force. Zhu Liuying pulled Ning Changge forward with some shame:
"Okay, come with me, big brother."
Holding Zhu Liuying's hand, we turned left, right, up and down on the mountain path.
I turned back from time to time, and finally, after turning dozens of corners and climbing over a small hill, finally, not far away, a Buddhist shrine shaped like a fox came into view.
"They are really worshipping that thousand-year-old demon fox... Hmm!!!"
Looking at the tablet inside the Buddhist shrine, Ning Changge's pupils suddenly shrank and he stood there in a daze as if struck by lightning.
"Brother, why did you suddenly stop moving?"
Ning Changge couldn't believe his eyes: "How is it possible...How is it possible...!!!"
The spirit tablet was very simple, made of wood, but the name engraved on it made Ning Changge feel sick.
There was only the following words engraved on it:
The spirit tablet of benefactor Huang Feiyan.
......
ps: Don’t worry, there won’t be any knife drops!
