The top of the mountain is a flat sandy land, which has been stepped on by people to and fro, and even weeds are rare.

Looking around, there is no nearby mountain that is higher than this, probably this is the so-called Huidangling Peak.Ye Ximu walked towards the giant tree that grew out of the center. From a distance, he didn't feel much, but when he got closer, the size of the three trees became more apparent.She also couldn't tell what kind of tree it was. The three trees in the local population were actually close to each other, and their branches and leaves were all intertwined. It was a bit like a banyan tree that could form a forest by itself, but It doesn't look like it, they are indeed three independent trees, it seems that they just happened to be born together, and after getting used to supporting each other, they gradually grew together, almost becoming one.If you take a closer look, you can also find that there are deep black scorched marks on the tree, which are very similar to the traces left by lightning, which probably corresponds to the legendary saying of bearing the thunder.

The top of the mountain was very quiet, and no one came up early in the morning like her.There is a small temple in front of the tree, only one person tall, mainly made of wood, with dark blue tiles, and the walls are painted with red lacquer.There are desks and incense burners in the temple, as well as two plates of dusty steamed buns and shriveled fruits, which should be used for making wishes.

In the present day, people in the world are devoutly worshiping gods less and less, and more people just prefer to believe what they have or not. Just like the legend about Bald Mountain, although it is still passed on by word of mouth, it is just It's just a legend.The young people in Yinmu Town go out to work, and the town looks extremely depressed, not to mention this temple on the top of the mountain, which is naturally deserted and lacks repairs. The tributes on the table and the leftover incense in the incense burner should be It's just a little obsession of some old people who stay alone in the town.

Ye Ximu stood in front of the temple, the branches and leaves of the tree covered the sky, making her suddenly feel small.I don't know how long this tree has been growing here. It has gone through ups and downs, and I have seen how many people come and go, and bow down at its feet. Compared with the short decades of human beings, it is just a snap of the fingers. wave between.

Ye Ximu knows that there are ghosts and ghosts in this world, but she doesn't know whether there are gods or not. As Ye Yi said, for people, what exists is what people can see, and what is invisible is vain .Therefore, she maintains respect for the unknown gods, but does not seek blessings.However, for some reason, she now hopes that the gods are real.She walked into this simple temple, knelt gently on the futon, folded her hands together, and prayed silently in her heart.

Liu Yinqi will be fine, and everything will pass.

She bowed softly three times, then straightened up and planned to exit, because the temple was built so short, she straightened up a little faster, and her head hit the door edge with a thud, fortunately it wasn't hard, it just hit red After a while, she looked up subconsciously, but suddenly found a candle standing on the main beam of the temple.

What's even more strange is that the candle is still lit, although it's just a bean-sized flame, probably because of the collision just now, jumping unsteadily in the air slightly, as if it would go out at any moment.The candlelight was very weak, and because of the tricky placement, if Ye Ximu hadn't bumped his head, he might not have noticed it.

But who put the candle here?Also, when did it light up?

The burning of a candle will continue to shorten. If it was lit yesterday, it should have burned out by now. However, there is still more than half of this candle. Could it be that it was lit not long ago?But where is the candle-lighter?

Ye Ximu wondered, she tried to take down the candle, but she couldn't take it off unexpectedly.Ordinary candles are glued with wax oil when they stand upright, and they can be taken off with a light break. Unexpectedly, this candle seemed to be glued to the beam by some kind of super glue. He couldn't get the candle off the beam, and almost worried that the candle would be broken by her.

She had no choice but to give up.

When she retracted her hand, she inexplicably felt that the touch on her hand was not right. A little bit of wax was stained on her fingers because of the touch just now, but it was not exactly like ordinary wax, it was a little sticky, and it seemed to have A bit of a vague ghostly aura.

This vague inhuman aura reminded her of Liu Yinqi's elementary school classmate she had met before. That girl seemed to be called... Huang Xiaolu?

But she couldn't figure out the cause and effect of it, so she left it first. After all, it had nothing to do with her.

She walked out of the temple, found an open space, still used the previous method, set up the formation, and then confirmed the direction.

Unexpectedly, this time the pointer of the compass in her palm pointed to the direction of the three trees.

Ye Ximu was a little dazed, and stood next to the tree, then changed his direction, and probed carefully again. However, once again, the pointer firmly pointed to the three trees that were regarded as gods.

what happened?

#####

Liu Yinqi was actually a little bored in the Taoist temple.

After chatting with a group of brothers and sisters who came to visit her, as well as masters and uncles, telling her thoughts and experiences after going down the mountain, Ye Ximu didn't come back until she started to feel sleepy again.

Now she tries to keep her waking hours as much as possible, lest her consciousness be eroded by Gu insects.However, she still slept for a while last night, but that was also under Ye Ximu's various strict observations and formation protection.Ye Ximu was frightened by her coma before, and took care of her meticulously, for fear of any accidents, but now that Ye Ximu is not here, she naturally has to take good care of herself.

She played two more sets of 2048.She is still not very interested in most of the mobile games that are popular among young people - King of Pesticides, Yinyin Master, etc. - and just continues to fight with the simple puzzle game 2048, persevering, despite tens of thousands of people. carry on.After she was changed to the 2048 mode by Ye Ximu, she passed the level for the first time, which caused a burst of entanglement in her heart. Later, she changed 2048 back to the standard mode. It's sweet to know that even though she didn't really play to 2048 at that time, she still has a girlfriend!

Then Liu Yinqi, who had a sweet girlfriend in his heart, continued to be rubbed against the ground by 2048.

Later, after lunch at noon, the sun rose high in the mountains. Although the temperature was still a bit low, the sunshine was very good, golden and joyful.

Liu Yinqi was tired of staying in the house, so she simply called a senior brother to help her to the yard to bask in the sun.

She felt that her limbs had regained some strength, and she was no longer as weak as before, and she could barely walk around.But when she walked into the yard, she was so tired that her brother moved her a chair for her to sit and rest.

At this time, Master was also basking in the sun in the yard, reclining on the rocking chair, swinging around.She sat side by side with Master.

Liu Yinqi didn't know how old his master was, maybe he was seven or eighty years old, maybe ten or a hundred years old, anyway, he had already lived a very, very long time, maybe as long as this Taoist temple was born, And she didn't know what Master's name was or what his surname was, she just kept calling him Master, and others called him that too.Although the master is called the master, he didn't actually teach Liu Yinqi anything. She was taken by her uncles and brothers since she was a child. In my impression, the master has been swaying on the rocking chair like this, basking in the sun with his eyes squinted, graying His beard is long, even his eyebrows are white, much longer than others, almost pulled down, but it is strange that there is not much hair left on his head.

But everyone respects him very much. A few years ago, any family in the town would hold him when they gave birth to a child so that he could name it, and if anyone suddenly developed a strange illness for unknown reasons, they would also come to him. Take a look here.

But Master always has a way.He knows a lot of things, and sometimes people can't help but guess that he became a Taoist priest because he knows too much.

However, Liu Yinqi didn't respect his master very much when he was a child, and often pulled his beard to play, and she didn't know how many of his beards were pulled off by her.But the master would not be annoyed, instead he smiled and brought her a piece of candy, making her sweeten her mouth.

When she grows up, after the period of the beard-pulling child, she is still very close to Master.And it may also be the reason why she quickly got acquainted with a group of uncles and aunts in Ye Ximu's community.

And she is very close to Uncle Wang who often sits and plays chess at the stone table, maybe it is because of Uncle Wang's same gray eyebrows and beard.

Speaking of which, just before she left City S, Uncle Wang seemed to have successfully hooked up with Aunt Deng who was in the building next door. Every time Aunt Deng danced in the square dance, Uncle Wang would prepare hot water by the side without hesitation. There are more than 100 people who got up, and they suddenly fell in love, and they were so tired that their eyes were blinded.

Liu Yinqi thought endlessly.The sun shone on her body, making her feel warm. She felt like a quilt that was drying on a sunny day. It absorbed the energy of the sun and gradually became fluffy and warm. When it was put away, it smelled like sunshine.

Suddenly, she heard Master calling her name and dragged her out of the air.

"Yin Qi."

"Master?" she asked.

"It seems that the sky is about to change." Master's tone was still as unhurried as before, but it seemed to contain something deep.

Liu Yinqi was puzzled, "What?"

"It's about to snow, let's go inside." The master slowly stood up while supporting his crutches, and said to her.

Liu Yinqi was a little dazed and didn't understand the meaning of Master's words, but she leaned on the back of the chair and barely stood up. She felt that she had been exposed to the sun for a while, and her hands and feet became stronger, and she could probably walk a few steps by herself. Now, this gradual good transfer she felt hopeful.

At this time, the gate of the Taoist temple was knocked.
