Chapter 323 Two Realms Mountain

"Dan, do you have a last name?"

"What's a last name?"

"What's your father's name?"

"Mother didn't say anything."

"Then what's your mother's name?"

"Her name is Jiang."

"What about the front? Or the back? Except ginger?"

"It's ginger."

"Aren't there two words?"

"Why is it called two words? Just one word, easy to remember, and everyone in the village has one word."

Wu Sheng inquired afterward, and it turned out that everyone in the village had only one character and only their first names.

A guest came to a remote fishing village, but it did not cause any disturbance. To the villagers, it seemed that this incident had never happened. Some people asked Wu Sheng's name, and when they met, they called him "Sheng ", and some people think that he does not exist at all, or that he already exists.

Wu Sheng had a bit of a headache. The neighbors around him only knew that this place was "The Great Wilderness". No one could tell why it was called the Great Wilderness and where it was. There is only this world in the world.

"Dan, haven't any of you ever been to the other side of the mountain?" Wu Sheng pointed to the distant mountain like Dai far behind the village.

"That's Liangjie Mountain. The north is Zhizhi Mountain, and the south is Rongtian Mountain." Dan replied to Wu Sheng: "Why do you want to go there? My mother-in-law said that there are demons and demons outside the mountain. Quzhi and Rongtian are The mountain god who guards the village. On the other side of the sea, it should be the sea, right?"

"Mother-in-law?"

"Grandma Moon."

Dan led Wu Sheng to the foot of a cliff at the north end of the village. There was a cave here.

From time to time, an oil lamp is lit on the wall of the cave to provide faint light for the entrants.

When entering the deepest part, an old voice came from inside: "Is it Dan? Who are you here with?"

Dan replied: "Grandma, Sheng and I want to ask a few questions."

Granny Yue poked her head out with a cane, and invited Wu Sheng and Dan into the innermost cave. The grotto here is much larger than the stone house dug outside. There are dark red wooden cabinets, beds, and tables. I don't know how many years it has been.

It turned out that this mother-in-law was the one who told Wu Sheng that this was the "Great Wilderness" when he first entered the village.After sitting down, Wu Sheng asked: "Grandmother, I heard Dan said that you can't go outside the Liangjie Mountain?"

Grandma Yue squinted her eyes and said, "Sheng, you are a traveler from outside, can you tell me what it's like outside?"

Wu Sheng was at a loss for words for a moment, not knowing how to answer.

Grandma Yue waited for a while, then smiled and said, "Sheng, you are not the first traveler to come to the Great Wilderness. Every few years, travelers will come to the village unintentionally. They all want to leave here just like you, so they Choose to leave. Some people leave the next day; What happened?"

Wu Sheng looked at Granny Yue, waiting for an answer.

"I remember ten travelers came here in the past fifty years. Six of them were found dead outside the Liangjie Mountains. The bodies of three floated back from the sea. They were buried under Quzhi Mountain. You can go and have a look. .There is another one, you can say that he escaped, or you can say that he did not escape, and he never came back. You are the eleventh, what will happen to you, we will all watch.”

Wu Sheng was silent for a moment, and asked, "Where do they all come from?"

Grandma Yue said: "Some came from the mountains, and some came from the sea. They said they lost their way. I don't know whether they lost their way or found their way. Sheng, you can choose to stay or not." You can choose to leave, and how you choose depends on whether you are lost or returned home."

There was no answer from Granny Yue, so Wu Sheng left. Granny Yue sent him and Dan out of the cave, and suddenly said to Dan, "Dan, don't forget to perform at the village commune tomorrow."

Dan lowered his head and said softly, "Understood."

After returning home, Dan jumped onto the roof, staring at the distant sea in a daze, Wu Sheng followed her and sat beside her, watched with her for a while, and asked, "Dan, what is the performance?"

Dan replied: "The reason why the village is not invaded by demons is because the mountain gods of the two worlds have always protected us, so every year we have to choose one person to go to the mountain to serve the mountain god. Last year the eagle served the Zhishan god, and this year it's my turn to serve the Rongtian mountain god." .”

Wu Sheng asked: "How long?"

"Forever, I won't come back. Sheng, you won't leave for these two months, right? We can talk for two months, play games together for two months, and after two months, Dan will go to serve Rongtian Mountain God, Once you leave, give this yard to Sheng, okay?"

"why are you?"

"Because Dan is 12 years old. There are six companions in the village who are 12 years old. Dan is the best at learning spells, so Dan is qualified to serve the mountain god."

Wu Sheng looked at the girl beside him, his immature face was full of parting melancholy, his eyes were full of nostalgia for the sea, his heart sank to the bottom of the valley.

In the village commune the next day, Dan performed the rehearsal of the sacrificial ceremony as scheduled. Under the watchful eyes of several elders, she stepped on a rainbow bridge formed by sea water and landed on a big red bed.The big bed was in a pit several feet deep underground. When she lay down, green leaves and flowers kept growing around the pit, exuding the fragrance of the garden.

The peak of ordinary qi refining is almost the same as the suppressed self. At the age of 12 years old, he has such a cultivation level, which is really a talent.Her Taoism belongs to water, whether she is stepping on the waves or waving her hand to rain, she is very compatible with water.

Dan lay quietly on the red bed, crossed his hands in front of his chest, glanced at the villagers above the pothole, and at Wu Sheng who was also watching, and closed his eyes.

Under the guidance of Dan's Taoism, the fine rainwater moistened the green leaves and flowers in the pit, and vines quickly grew out of it, erecting above the pit, forming a green dome.

Amidst the chanting of several elders, the soil covered it layer by layer
This is the rehearsal of Dan's ceremony. On the day when she is 12 years old, she will give birth to green leaves, flowers and vines by herself, and build a beautiful flower house under Rongtian Mountain to complete her destination.

The performance was praised by the elders. They rewarded Dan with a smoked boar leg. Holding the smoked leg, Dan happily took Wu Sheng's hand and went home to share with him.

Once the pork leg was cut into a piece and steamed, it was served with several vegetables, and the table was filled. Wu Sheng sat at the table, holding the rice bowl and chopsticks, but he couldn't swallow it.

"Dan, do you know what will happen after the ceremony?"

"The Mountain God of the Two Realms will continue to bless the village."

"What about you? What will happen to you? Do you know?"

Dan slowly put down the bowl and chopsticks and lowered his head.

Wu Sheng reached out and rubbed the girl's bun.

——Even after sitting down, her head only reached her chest.

　Thanks to Xinxitang, Shu Chi, and Daoist Tianming for their rewards, and thanks to fellow Taoists for their monthly tickets and recommendation tickets for their encouragement!
