After Sister-in-law Tang was driven away from the Song Family, Lin Mengya discussed with Mrs. Song and decided to push Baisu out to let everyone know that Song Ziming was still alive.
After all, she was a foreigner. It was normal for her cousin and sister-in-law to accompany her.
Although Baisu was just hiding in the carriage, everyone could see her clearly.
The young man who was rumored to be dead for the past three years was still alive and well.
Suddenly, Sister-in-law Tang was accused of not doing her job well. Not only did she not get the reward, she almost lost her life.
However, she was a vicious person.
In order to survive, she promised those people that she would get rid of Song Ziming as soon as possible.
Lin Mengya was sitting in the carriage, but she kept her eyes and ears open.
She knew that someone was following them, but she did not let her people expose their tracks.
Unexpectedly, the other party did not do anything to them.
She could not help but feel puzzled.
This was just a small town, and the Song Family was just a small family. Those people should not have anything to worry about.
She walked for three days in a row, and it was the same every day. Because of this, she had a lot of questions.
In the end, Mrs. Song thought that she was worrying too much, and suggested that she go up the mountain to have a look.
"Is there any special scenery on the mountain?"
Mrs. Song smiled and said, "There is nothing special, but we used to worship the Mountain God here. There is a Mountain God Temple there, and the scenery is not bad. "
Mountain God Temple?
Lin Mengya's heart skipped a beat.
She remembered that she had seen it before, but that was because someone deliberately made trouble there.
But she could not disobey Mrs. Song's good intention.
So she discussed with Baisu and the others, and brought them up the mountain early the next morning.
By the time they arrived, it was almost October, and the mountain was filled with a rather elegant autumn scenery.
Nature's paintbrush was uncanny, gold and red were thick and heavy, and people could not help but enjoy it.
But Baisu was miserable.
In order to make it more realistic, she took the carriage when she went out these days. Even when she came down for a walk, she had to be supported by someone.
This made the white heroine, who used to practice martial arts every day, very depressed. She had been unhappy with Li Wu Shuang for a few days.
But it was also strange.
Unfortunately, Li Wu Shuang, who used to be scared to death of her, now did not fight back when she hit him, nor did he talk back when she scolded him. Instead, he was smiling all day long, making Bai Su too embarrassed to continue getting angry at him.
In Lin Mengya's words, it was like eating tofu with brine. Everything had its vanquisher.
"Master, those people don't seem to be following us."
Cai Ru, who had been paying attention to the group of people behind them, whispered in her ear.
"Oh? Why was that? Are you sure they didn't follow us and that they're not playing hard to get? "
Cai Ru shook her head, she was also not very sure.
Perhaps because they were walking slowly, those people were afraid of being discovered, so they also slowed down.
But when they reached the top of the mountain, Cai Ru was sure that those people didn't follow them.
Lin Mengya frowned.
This mountain was just an ordinary mountain. There was nothing special about it. What were those people afraid of?
"Cousin, the Mountain God Temple is right in front of us. Let's work harder, we're almost there!"
Li Wu Shuang's surprised voice came from behind.
Lin Mengya also looked forward.
In the dense forest, only a small eave could be seen.
If one didn't look carefully, they would think that the eave was just a jackdaw standing on the top of a tree.
When they got closer, she realized that this Mountain God Temple could actually blend in with the surrounding mountains.
This kind of architectural style that was built according to the natural direction made her feel very familiar.
Lin Mengya felt that this seemingly ordinary Mountain God Temple seemed to be hiding a lot of secrets.
The temple door was unlatched, and it opened with a push.
This was not the first time Li Wu Shuang came here. He asked someone to open the door with ease, then turned around and helped Baisu get off the carriage.
As they walked inside, he introduced the place to Lin Mengya and the others, "Usually, not many people come here. Only during the Spring Lantern Festival will people come here to worship the Mountain God.
I've come here a few times with my father and mother, so I'm quite familiar with this place. "
He pointed at the slightly bigger house and said, "This is the main hall, and there's a huge rock inside.
I heard from my father that the origin of this huge rock is very mysterious. The Mountain God that we worship is it. "
As he was speaking, Li Wu Shuang asked the servants to take out the prepared tributes.
Lin Mengya was also curious, so she followed their footsteps into the main hall.
But as soon as she entered the door, she felt a little strange. Her connection with the system had also become intermittent.
This feeling was similar to when she encountered the stone jades under the Gong family's old house.
She couldn't help but frown, and looked at the huge rock.
From the outside, she couldn't tell anything. The rock was black, as if it had just been picked up from a bonfire.
Under the rock, there was a huge pedestal. The old paint on it was already mottled and peeling. She could barely tell that it was probably used to tell the story of the Mountain God.
The air was filled with a faint smell of rosin. She sniffled and asked, "Who usually guards this place?"
Li Wu Shuang thought for a while and said, "Usually, it's just an old bachelor in the town. He has no children, no relatives, so the elders gave him some money to clean the temple in his spare time.
Nothing else, but I heard that some hunters, when they couldn't get down from the mountain, would come here to spend the night. "
Lin Mengya nodded.
There were indeed traces of people living here, but it wasn't that obvious.
It was obvious that no one had come here for a long time.
But when she looked at the offering table, she couldn't help but frown.
The offering table was clean. Although there was nothing on it, Lin Mengya was sure that before they came in, they definitely didn't send anyone to clean it up.
She quietly touched the foot of the table, and even the dust on it was gone. It was obvious that someone had meticulously cleaned it up.
But this kind of small detail, Li Wu Shuang and the others didn't notice.
They arranged the offerings, kowtowed to the huge rock three times, and burned incense for it.
"I hope the Mountain God can protect my parents."
After Li Wu Shuang finished kowtowing to the Mountain God, Lin Mengya immediately followed him around the Mountain God Temple.
The Mountain God Temple was just like what Madam Song said. Although there didn't seem to be anything special, it was a very quiet and elegant little courtyard.
They went around to the backyard, which was similar to the front yard. The backyard only had a few more stone stools and tables.
Lin Mengya squinted her eyes and looked outside the wall of the Mountain God Temple.
"Where does that lead to?"
Li Wu Shuang took a look and answered, "The place behind this Mountain God Temple is called the Eye of the Ghost.
It was said that even the most experienced hunters didn't dare to go there carelessly, or they would get lost.
And the strangest thing is that the people who get lost will never come out.
What, do you feel that something is wrong? "
Lin Mengya was stunned, and immediately shook her head to cover it up.
But in her heart, flowers bloomed. If she didn't see it wrong, the forest in the backyard had already formed an extremely magnificent maze.
It was even more powerful than the ones she had seen before.
Even if she went in, she wouldn't be able to come out unscathed.
It seemed that this Mountain God Temple was indeed hiding a lot of secrets.
She was never a person who liked to court death. Since she knew that there was something fishy going on, she wouldn't take the initiative to go in.
After taking Bai Su to enjoy the scenery, the few of them walked down the mountain.
Unexpectedly, on the way, they met the old bachelor who often cleaned up the Mountain God Temple.
"Uncle, where are you going?"
As a junior, Li Wu Shuang politely stopped the car and greeted him.
However, that rather valiant looking old bachelor did not buy it.
He just looked at them coldly and said indifferently, "Go home."
Li Wu Shuang only took the initiative to talk to the old bachelor because he saw that Lin Mengya was interested in the Mountain God Temple.
But seeing that the old bachelor didn't give him any face, he didn't dare to waste his time.
"So that's how it is. Then we won't bother you anymore. Goodbye, Uncle."
From the beginning to the end, the old bachelor didn't even look at Li Wu Shuang. But before he left, his pair of gloomy eyes fell on Lin Meng Ya.
"You've been to the Mountain God Temple?"
Lin Mengya was not used to such an abrupt question.
But she still hesitated for a moment, and lightly nodded.
Uncle Xian coldly snorted.
"Don't come here again if you don't have anything to do. This place doesn't welcome you!"
After saying that, the man turned around and left.
Lin Mengya's face was full of innocence.
"I don't think I've offended him, have I?"
Not to mention her, even Li Wu Shuang's head was full of question marks.
"Although Uncle Xian is usually a loner, I've never seen him be so rude to anyone before."
When Lin Mengya heard this, she couldn't help but complain, "Could it be that this is my fault?"
She was just surprised.
It was obviously her first time coming here, and she had never had any contact with that Uncle Xian. She didn't know why he had such a big grudge against her.
All of a sudden, the good mood that he had been in because of the beautiful autumn scenery was gone.
"If you don't want to come, then don't come. Do you think I care?"
She angrily led the group down the mountain.
But Lin Mengya was still Lin Mengya. Although she felt that the man's hostility towards her was inexplicable, it didn't affect her normal thinking.
At the foot of the mountain, it was obvious that someone had been here.
But the strange thing was, no matter if it was her or Cai Ru, they couldn't feel anyone following them.
Could it be that these people felt that they had no value to follow them, so they went back?
But very quickly, Lin Mengya dispelled this thought.
On the night they went back, Cai Ru brought back a piece of news that made her feel even more unbelievable.
"Master, something happened!"
