Chapter 67 The Daughter of Jiangdong (5)

Miss Su jumped out of the car and looked up for a long time again: "It's unbelievable..." Obviously, the steepness and desolation of this mountain far exceeded her imagination.

After a while of silence, he said nonsense: "If Miss doesn't want to fulfill that wish, let's go back by car now."

"No, of course." Miss Su replied decisively, "Since you have already come here, there is no reason to back down." Even though she said so, she still hesitated for a while, and asked Hu: "Young master, won't you go up with me?" ?”

Hu shook his head: "It's not good for others to be present, and the gods will blame me. I'm afraid even the young lady won't want to see her."

"That's... that's fine." Miss Su hesitated again, then raised her head and said to Hu, "I have one last request, I wonder if you can agree to it?"

"What kind of request?" Hu was a little puzzled.

"From now on, please turn your back, my lord, don't look back, and don't turn around until I come back down the mountain. If I haven't come down after dark, you can drive back like this. Come back at this time tomorrow, if If I haven't been seen yet, the young master doesn't want to go back, just go to another place in a carriage."

"Why?"

"Although I left a letter to my lord father, but when he found out that I was gone, he would definitely send his servants out to look for it. If he knew that I was buried here, he would inevitably blame you, so if I really can't come down again, how far can you go? Just go as far as you want, and never go back to Jiangdong again.”

Hu shook his head: "If there is something wrong with Miss, Xiaosheng can't shirk responsibility. According to Miss, Xiaosheng will now turn his back and wait for Miss to go down the mountain, and will not leave at night. Xiaosheng will wait here for three days. Before going down the mountain, Xiaosheng will go to the Su Manor to plead guilty to Mr. Su."

Miss Su couldn't bear it: "My lord..."

"Xiaosheng has made up his mind, miss don't try to persuade him anymore, it's better to go up the mountain as soon as possible, don't make Xiaosheng wait here for a long time."

Seeing Hu's resolute attitude, Miss Su was relieved.She stared at Hu's face, smiled slightly, and nodded. After Hu turned around, she also turned around, facing the majestic mountain, took a deep breath, and took a step forward.

The road on the mountain is just like what Hu said, very rough, and the dirt is nothing more than a lot of small stones with sharp edges and corners. Even if Miss Su tried her best to find a flat ground every three steps and knelt down to worship, she would still be able to do so within a hundred steps. Brocade clothes were stained with blood, knee pain was unbearable.Coupled with the cold weather, the wind blew her body cold, as if the blood in her body had been frozen.

She didn't know how far she had gone, and Miss Su wanted to turn her head to see if Hu was still waiting at the foot of the mountain, but she was afraid that the gods would see her and blame him for being dishonest, so she held back her temper and walked forward step by step.The surrounding rocks are rugged and the trees are bare. At this time, the sun has set and the sky is dark.Miss Su leaned on the rock, looking at her frayed palms, her clothes covered in mud, and scarlet blood stains on top of the stains, it was shocking.Her hair was messed up, and her makeup must have been too much to look at.Her body was tired and aching, so she stopped like this.

There was a huge rock by the road not far from her, and at some point, a man in white was standing on it with a paper fan in his hand, with a handsome face, as graceful as a fairy.He saw Miss Su sitting on the ground with a miserable face, walked up to her and asked, "What are you doing here alone?"

Miss Su replied, "I'm here to meet the god named Mojia."

The man said: "The Spirit Hall of Mojia is located on the top of Nanshan Mountain. There are still more than a hundred miles up the mountain from this road, and the journey is far away. What's more, the girl kneels three times and worships nine times. It is as if going to the top of the mountain is out of reach. Now that the girl has worn out her hands and feet, stained her clothes, and there are wild beasts coming and going at night, it is wise for the girl to come back after the difficulties."

Miss Su thought over and over again, then shook her head and declined politely: "Thank you, Mr. Mojia, but I must see Mojia. As Mr. said, I have already worn my hands and feet, stained my clothes, even for the hardships I have endured, I must also go to the top of the mountain."

The other party said: "The girl came from the bottom of the mountain, she must have heard the legend of the fox demon. How does the girl know that the person living on this mountain must be Mojia, not the fox demon?"

"Although there are different opinions, I only believe in one person." Miss Su said firmly.

"The girl must see Mojia before she is willing to give up?"

"Yes."

"Why are you so determined?"

"In order to fulfill the wish in my heart."

"What wish again?"

Miss Su looked up at the man, and said solemnly: "I don't want to live forever, I just want to be immortal."

Seemingly surprised, the man was slightly taken aback, then shook his head, mocking slightly: "The girl's wish is really arrogant, but she doesn't know that spring and autumn come, day and night change, everything in the world passes away at any time, birth, old age, sickness and death, and enjoy the joy and sorrow of the world through the way of reincarnation. This is an irreversible principle, so why bother yourself to go against the law of nature?"

"Of course I understand what your son said." Miss Su said, "And there are immortals, Buddhas, humans, ghosts, and monsters in this world. Why can immortals, Buddhas, and ghosts live forever and change in thousands of ways, while humans have to experience the calamity of old age and death? I don't seek to live forever like a god or Buddha, nor do I seek to mess up the world like a ghost. I just want to have an ageless face, and when I am about to die, I can be as luxuriant as I am at this moment. Is it too much? If the pain of cultivation If this wish can be fulfilled, I am willing to pray devoutly.”

The man took a step back, looked her up and down, and said with a smile: "Young lady wants to be immortal, what do you plan to exchange?" Miss Su hesitated, not knowing how to answer, and the man said: "There is a saying in the Buddhist family that you can get it." There must be mistakes, I now have a way to achieve the girl's wish, how can the girl return?"

Miss Su raised her head and looked directly at Mingyue, and asked leisurely: "Then, what do you want, my lord?"

It was late at night, the moon was thin, and Hu was sitting in the carriage when he heard footsteps behind him.He turned his head and saw Miss Su coming down, neatly dressed, with gold hairpins on her temples, and the small beads on the gold hairpins were dangling, making a light clashing sound.With a smile on her face, Miss Su slowly moved in front of him.

"You really want me to wait!" Hu complained, and then couldn't help asking with a smile, "How is this body?"

Miss Su smiled without answering, and went straight into the carriage.

Mr. Hu was slightly taken aback.

But Miss Su's voice came from the carriage: "Young Master Hu, what wish do you want to make now?"
