Xiandao Linglong

Chapter 28 The Legend of the Black Mist Forest

The sacrifice came to a temporary end due to Ye Qi's strenuous efforts to stop it, but the failure to successfully complete the mountain god sacrifice caused panic among the people of Heiyan Village.

In the Black Rock Village meeting hall, Ye Qi looked at the clan leader, who looked a little downcast. He pointed at Jing Shu beside him and asked, "Have you seen a woman from the outside world recently? She was alone, about the same height as her! And she was holding a whip!"

"This one……"

Jing Shu, who was sitting nearby, slammed her hand on the table and said, "Luo Cheng! Just answer whatever you ask!"

"Yes... I have seen her, but that woman is really not to be trifled with. She looks thin and weak, but she has an extremely violent temper. Several people from our Black Rock Village died at her hands!"

After hearing Luo Cheng's description, Jingshu and Ye Qi both opened their mouths in surprise. From his description, why was Ning Wanqing's temperament so different from the past?

Although she is arrogant and unreasonable, the Ning family has always been known for its chivalry. No matter how bad the situation is, they will never kill people casually like they treat human lives as worthless!

Jingshu asked again with a look of disbelief on her face: "Are you really not lying?"

Seeing Jingshu's serious expression, Luo Cheng was frightened and quickly replied: "How dare I lie to a fairy? The woman is exactly as you described, except..."

"I hate it when people stutter. What's that? Tell me!"

After thinking for a moment, Luo Cheng replied hesitantly, "It's just that the woman's eyes were grayish-white and her expression was dull, but what is certain is that she was not a demon. Instead, she seemed... possessed by a demon!"

"Possessed? Where did you see her?"

"It wasn't me. Someone in the village saw her walking towards Guiyin Mountain! Let me remind you, you absolutely cannot go to Guiyin Mountain. Almost no one who goes there can come out alive. Even if they are lucky enough to come out alive, they will be like Aunt Li's stupid son, acting crazy all day and claiming to have seen the mountain god!"

After Ye Qi pondered for a moment, he exchanged glances with Jing Shu and said seriously, "Something must be wrong when things are out of the ordinary! It seems we should go visit Aunt Li's family!"

"Yeah!" Jingshu also agreed when she heard it!

Afterwards, clan leader Luo Cheng brought the two of them to Aunt Li's house. As soon as they arrived at the door, they heard a crazy voice talking to himself in the house.

As several people entered the room, Aunt Li's stupid son Wu Qian rushed towards Luo Cheng like a madman. Fortunately, there was a chain tied on his legs, which prevented him from succeeding.

But Wu Qian was still as crazy as ever, and even shouted louder, "Chief! I really saw the mountain god! He is in Guiyin Mountain! He is in Guiyin Mountain! Chief! You must believe me!"

Luo Cheng ignored this and said apologetically to Ye Qi and the others, "I'm sorry to have frightened you two! This Wu Qian is the man I mentioned who returned alive from Guiyin Mountain. However, he has been acting crazy and delirious since returning, talking nonsense to everyone he meets. In order to prevent him from causing panic in the entire Black Rock Village, we had no choice but to imprison him!"

Ye Qi stood up and slowly walked to Wu Qian, who pounced on him like a madman. Looking closer, he saw a hint of anxiety and panic on Wu Qian's face.

He didn't believe that a person would go crazy for no reason. It was impossible that he didn't see anything and scared himself to the point of saying that he saw a mountain god. The most likely possibility was that Wu Qian saw someone who made him mistakenly think was a mountain god!

"Brother Wu! Can you tell me about the mountain god?"

Wu Qian saw for the first time that someone was willing to listen to him. He asked excitedly, "Are you willing to listen to me? Do you really believe that I saw the mountain god in Guiyin Mountain?"

"Believe! Believe!"

Just after Ye Qi finished answering, Wu Qian, who was originally excited, suddenly became uncharacteristically excited. For some reason, he was not as crazy and scary as before.

But his expression was still exaggerated and filled with fear, revealing disbelief. He continued, "Just a year ago, my friend and I were out hunting as usual. Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and a black fog instantly covered the entire forest. We were looking for a place to hide from the storm. In a daze, we actually saw a group of people in the black fog, and there was a carriage in the middle of them!"

At this point, Wu Qian's pupils suddenly dilated and he looked panicked. Seeing that he was lost in thought, Ye Qi quickly supported his shoulders and shook him, asking hurriedly, "And then? What happened next?"

"Then...then I saw the curtain of the carriage being pulled open, and inside sat a woman in bizarre clothing. She didn't seem afraid at all. This is Ghost Mountain! Even ghosts are afraid of it, and yet she seemed so fearless! How strange! How strange!"

Ye Qi pondered for a moment after hearing this, then looked at Jing Shu and asked unsurely, "A year ago? Strange clothes? A woman? Could it be Ning Wanqing?"

Jing Shu hesitated for a moment and then responded, "It can't be her. If she really wanted to enter the Ghost Yin Mountain, and was escorted in by a convoy, she must have been organized and had the opportunity. The Ning family is prosperous with male descendants, so it's impossible for Ning Wanqing, who is weak and helpless, to go to the Ghost Yin Mountain. Moreover, the Ning family knows much more about the Ghost Yin Mountain than we do. How could Ning Wanqing enter the Ghost Yin Mountain so confidently!"

"Who could it be? It can't be a ghost, right?"

Wu Qian suddenly went crazy again and said in a panic, "It's not a ghost! It's not a ghost! She's scarier than a ghost!"

"how do you know?"

Wu Qian suddenly faltered, and after a long pause, he finally replied, "Because I was curious that day, I followed them. But as the sandstorm died down, the black fog slowly dissipated. By the time I could see my surroundings clearly, I found myself at the border of Guiyin Mountain. The convoy and the crowd that had been following me disappeared without a trace, as if they had never existed!"

"Then where did you see the mountain god?"

"Mountain God? In..."

Seeing him seeming to be lost in thought but unable to remember, Ye Qi anxiously squatted down, supported his shoulders, and asked anxiously, "Think carefully! Where did you see it? What did the mountain god look like?"

"Ah...ah...ah..."

Wu Qian suddenly covered his head and rolled over on the ground, pounding his head hard as if he had a splitting headache, and even banged his head hard against the wall!

"Alright! Alright! I've told you everything my son knows! Just let him go!"

Aunt Li pushed Ye Qi away with heartache, hugged her son to stop him from continuing to hurt himself, and tried her best to comfort him!

Seeing this, Ye Qi and the other man had no choice but to leave, but Wu Qian's words kept lingering in their minds.

The mountain god, the mysterious woman, and the caravan that disappeared out of thin air, all the mysteries seemed to be waiting for him to solve!

"Hey! What are you thinking about? If you can't figure it out, go and see it for yourself!" Just as Ye Qi was lost in thought, Jing Shu slapped him from behind and said excitedly.

"Why are you so interested all of a sudden? Don't you care about the eldest daughter of the Ning family and Black Rock Village at all?"

Jing Shu folded her arms across her chest, leaning sideways, and said with a smile, "I don't care about their affairs, but listening to this idiot's stories is so interesting. Last time, because Ning Wanqing turned back halfway, I missed so many wonderful things. This time I must have a good time! It's getting late today, so we have to set off tomorrow morning!"

After saying that, Jingshu took the lead and left Aunt Li's house and went straight to the wine cellar she found!
