Uncle's Crisis

Chapter 137 Mysterious Journey
After a pause, Su Meihong said, "At that time, I was still young, and I had been to too many places, and I can't remember many of them."

Gao Zhiyuan could hear that she had something to hide, so he stopped asking.

The car stopped at the foot of Jinyu Mountain, and the two got out of the car. Su Meihong looked at the clear tire marks on the ground and said, "It seems that there are also many good men and women who come here."

Gao Zhiyuan responded casually: "Where there is a temple, there is incense, it's not surprising."

Su Meihong walked around to the back of the car, took out a small box from the trunk, and then took out a woven bag, weighed it with her hands, and there was a creaking sound inside.

Gao Zhiyuan asked, "Why are there still living things?"

Su Meihong said, "It's a chicken."

"Why bring a chicken?"

"Don't ask, don't ask, take it!" Su Meihong said, and handed the bag to Gao Zhiyuan.

Gao Zhiyuan received it, and without saying a word, he ran towards the top of the mountain with great strides.

Entering the courtyard, I saw the old monk lying in front of the temple with a drunken face again, shouting loudly, with sticky saliva hanging from the corner of his mouth.

Gao Zhiyuan stood still and glanced at Su Meihong, meaning he wanted to wake up the old monk.

Su Meihong shook her head, walked aside and walked into the temple.

She squatted down, opened the box, took out the incense sticks from inside, and put it on a piece of yellow paper folded in half.

Presumably that was the "talisman" given by the half-immortal.

Gao Zhiyuan stood aside foolishly, looking curiously at Su Meihong's methodical "superior" to her own father.

I saw her face was calm and devout.

After lighting the incense, she laid out the sacrifices, then untied the rope on the woven bag, and reached out and took out a big red-crested rooster.

Holding the chicken in her hands, Su Meihong bowed to the god three times in a serious manner, then turned around and said to Gao Zhiyuan, "The knife is at the bottom of the box, please take it out."

"You want to kill a chicken?"

"Yes."

"Buddha's pure land, why are you so preoccupied with killing?"

"I can only do this, one life for another."

"what do you mean……"

"Shut up!" Su Mei gave him a red and white look.

Gao Zhiyuan shook his head with a wry smile, bent down to open the box, and took out a butcher knife from inside.

"Row here." Su Meihong clamped the rooster with her elbows, and brushed the hair off her neck neatly.

Gao Zhiyuan couldn't do anything, he took a step back and said, "No, I can't do this."

"Why can't you do it?"

"I don't have the guts."

"Okay, I'll do it." Su Meihong handed the chicken to Gao Zhiyuan and said, "Give me the knife."

Gao Zhiyuan took the rooster, imitating Su Meihong, and clamped it under his arm. He freed his other hand to grab the fluffy head of the rooster, and pulled it upwards.

The moment Su Meihong put the knife on the chicken's neck and swiped hard, he screamed and let go.

Looking at the chicken again, it flapped its wings and flew out of the temple gate.

"You idiot! Chase, hurry up!" Su Meihong jumped out first, and stopped just as she crossed the threshold.

Gao Zhiyuan came out and said embarrassingly, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be pecked by that chicken."

"Don't move!" Su Meihong shouted.

Gao Zhiyuan was immediately taken aback.

"Look...look, look there." Su Meihong pointed to the door.

Gao Zhiyuan looked at her fingers, and only then did he realize that the big rooster that escaped with great difficulty was actually caught in the hands of the old monk.

Su Meihong walked over and softly called Master.

The old monk adjusted his posture, squinted his eyes, muttered for a while, and held the big cock high.

Su Meihong walked over, took the chicken, and tiptoed back, looking down, the big rooster was alive and kicking and dying.

With a solemn face, she said thank you master.

Su Meihong placed the silky-breathing rooster on the chopping board, opened the spell, covered it, and muttered words.

Then it was ignited with the fire in the candlestick, and a wisp of light smoke curled up, and got out from the window lattices one by one.

Su Meihong knelt down on her knees and kowtowed repeatedly. When she got up, she was already in tears.

Gao Zhiyuan stood aside, as if his soul had been taken away, until Su Meihong bent down to pack up his things, and then came back to his senses.

Walking out of the temple, Su Meihong stood in front of the sleeping old monk, bowed deeply, and quickly walked out of the temple gate.

Just when I got down the steps, I suddenly heard the old monk cough a few times, and then chanted loudly:

Jinshan no gold
Yulong Hanyu
old ghost town demon
once the soul returns
just waiting for dawn
……

After hearing this, Su Meihong burst into tears again, and walked down the mountain quickly.

When I came down the mountain, I didn't rush to get in the car. Instead, I sat on a stone sill by the side of the road, staring up at the flowing clouds in the sky.

Gao Zhiyuan suddenly felt extremely hot, so he shook Su Meihong and said, "Let's go... let's go, it's almost sunburned."

Su Meihong sighed, and said: "It will melt if it melts. It will melt sooner or later. If it turns into smoke and dust with you, it will be worth it."

"I can't tell, you are still a sentimental poet." Gao Zhiyuan said, reaching out to pull Su Meihong up.

"Maybe, I should be a poet, but once I die, the poetic flavor is gone."

"Look, she looks more and more like Lin Daiyu."

"Let's go, don't listen to nonsense." Su Meihong stood up and got into the car first.

The car drove forward slowly, and Su Meihong immediately returned to normal, talking and laughing.

As we walked, Gao Zhiyuan suddenly had an idea—why not take this opportunity to play in that mysterious pool?

Thinking of this, he became excited and said, "May I take you to a fairyland?"

"Where did the wonderland come from?"

"Well, just follow my command."

"you've been to?"

"Yeah, but it's been a long time."

"Is the scenery beautiful?"

"Not only beautiful, but also spiritual."

"It won't delay your work, will it?"

"This is an official business. My task today is to accompany the wife of the general manager. It is my duty to let you have a good time."

"Okay, let's go."

The car drove down the mountain slowly, and under the guidance of Gao Zhiyuan, it turned right and drove towards the mysterious place.

Looking back, Jin Yushan became smaller and smaller, and gradually faded out of sight.

After a while, the car drove on a winding dirt road, and sure enough, I saw two rows of tall and straight poplar trees.

That's right, this is the way!
Gao Zhiyuan became more and more excited. He seemed to have seen green valleys everywhere, heard the sound of gurgling water, and the scent of flowers...

But as he walked, he was dumbfounded—the road was gone, it had come to an end!
A bare rocky mountain blocked their way.

Gao Zhiyuan jumped out of the car, and after a few laps, he was completely confused——

What about the canyon?
What about the pool?
What about the cave?
What about the Sansheng stone bed?
……

What the hell!

What's going on?

Is God deliberately making fun of me?
Seeing Gao Zhiyuan's anxious face and running around, Su Meihong called and walked over, grabbed his hand, and said, "Let's go... let's go, get in the car."

"Listen to me, this place has beautiful scenery, why did it change beyond recognition overnight?"

"Overnight?"

"Oh, no... no..."

"Still lying to me? Say, did you come here yesterday?"
