The road that the purple fox pointed out is in the mountains, to the young people who can not fly with the sword, the mountain road is very difficult to walk, but the mountain scenery is wonderful, sometimes mist and light clouds, sometimes dense green light color, but also let the heart relaxed and happy, forgetting some fatigue. This is a familiar sight to Xuanji, who has grown up in Shaoyang Mountain since she was a child and is used to seeing the steepness of the 10,000-foot cliffs and does not care about the small mountains here.

However, Yu Sifeng and Ruo’Yu are more overwhelmed. They both grew up at the seaside, although they have all the skills not to fall off the cliff to death, but still they are a little weak in the legs walking on the edge. Seeing Xuanji walking forward alone happily near the cliff edge, Yu Sifeng could not help telling her, “Don’t go so fast, be careful not to fall down.”

He didn’t dare to go there himself, so he had to call back to Zhong Minyan, “Minyan, you follow Xuanji, be careful.”

Zhong Minyan was in a daze and he called several times before he reacted, wiped the sweat from his face and walked behind Xuanji without saying a word. He looked very tired and preoccupied, with deep dark shadows under his eyes, probably because he didn’t sleep well last night.

Yu Sifeng looked at Ruo’Yu. He and Zhong Minyan slept in the same room and he should know what was going on. Ruo’Yu smiled faintly and said softly. “He’s probably thinking about BuZhou Mountain. He tossed over and over all night and didn’t sleep much.”

In the end, even Xuanji noticed that there was something wrong with him, and wanted to ask what was going on, but thinking about what he said behind the door last night, somehow, there was no way to ask the question. She has never known how to get along with him from the beginning, not to get close, not to avoid it, so she had to pretend not to see.

After crossing over two mountains, they came to a large lake. The purple fox is like a leader of the team, full of energy, called out, “Stop – let’s rest here for a while.”

The group has rushed all this way, not even stopping for a sip of water, and can not wait for her to say stop. Ruo’Yu has long carried away everyone’s water bags, to go to the lake to fetch water. Zhong Minyan did not say a word, fell to the grass, with a hand over the eyes, not even a moment, actually fell asleep.

What was wrong with him? Xuanji and Yu Sifeng glanced at each other and they don’t know what came to mind, both looked gloomy and no one asked.

These children seem to be a bit off today, usually all the way are laughter, today seems to be silent too much. The purple fox came out of Xuanji’s arms and walked up to Zhong Minyan, sniffed at his face, and used her paws to remove his hand. Zhong Minyan muttered something, turned over and continued to sleep. His eyes were sunken, and even when he was sleeping, his eyebrows were tightly locked, so he obviously had something on his mind.

“I said ……,” the purple fox sat next to his head, tail wagging around, and opened her mouth in a serious manner, “Did something happen last night that I don’t know about?”

The two people across from each other shook their heads together, looking innocent.

The purple fox coughed, she is at least considered an elder, at this kind of time she naturally wanted to take a stand, immediately said, “I don’t know what you kids are up to, but Buzhou Mountain is almost here, if you want to save people back, this time should be concerted efforts, don’t make conflicts, understand ……”

It just so happened that Ruo’Yu came back from fetching water and when she said this, he smiled and said, “Zihu really seems like a teacher.”

“Of course!” The purple fox triumphed, “I am a thousand-year-old fox fairy, you guys are just kids in my eyes, I’m an elder, naturally I have to take care of them.”

Ruo’Yu gave water to the others and said, “I think it’s because we’re almost at Mount Buzhou and the target is right in front of us, so we’re a little nervous, so we don’t want to talk. They are worried about whether the other side is very strong or not.”

The purple fox buried her head to drink water, so that the beard and chest are wet, and muttered “Naturally, it is very strong …… not to mention you guys, more serious, I may not be the opponent it ……”

Xuanji see nearby in addition to the mountain there are still mountains, endless mountain ranges, like spreading to the end of the sky, can not help but ask, “Zihu, is Bu Zhou Mountain still far? Is it among these mountains?”

The purple fox shook her head with a tail flick and said, “How can it be here? Anyway, you just follow me! We should be there in a couple of days.”

As soon as she finished speaking, her tail was suddenly grasped tightly. She screamed and hurriedly looked down. It turned out that her tail had been flung around and flung at Zhong Minyan’s face, and he had not realized it in his sleep and had grabbed her tail.

“Damn thief! Let go!” She was furious and was about to stretch out her claws to scratch his face a few times when he suddenly whispered a name, the two words coming out of his mouth so softly that she couldn’t help but freeze.

“Let go of me!” The purple fox slapped a claw on his forehead, Zhong Minyan suffered pain and suddenly awakened, rolled over and sat up, anxiously said, “Ling Long! Ling ……”

“You bastard!” The purple fox scratched again, “I didn’t know you were still a philanderer! You’re very affectionate! Have you slept enough? Get up!”

Zhong Minyan was still a bit confused, looked around, then remembered that he was on the way, immediately took a long relieved breath and wiped twice on his face.

“Drink some water.” Ruo’Yu handed him the water bag. “Did you not sleep well last night? You should not rush today. When you get your energy back and then we go.”

“No! No need!” Zhong Minyan gulped water, frowned, wiped away the water that spilled out of the corner of his lips, and said: “Go and get Linglong back early.”

The purple fox on the side sneered and they did not know what she was muttering alone. Yu Sifeng walked over and said in a low voice: “Minyan, you have something on your mind?”

Zhong MInyan raised his head suddenly, his eyes were like a thousand years of ice, cold, clearly rejecting his intention to continue inquiring. Yu Sifeng was stunned but didn’t gove up and said, “If you have any difficulties, you can tell us, and we will help.”

“I’m fine.” Zhong Minyan threw the water bag away and got up, “Let’s go! Get some rest!”

He never looked back.

Although Zihu said she could reach Buzhou Mountain in two days, everyone soon realized she was lying. At the end of the walk, even Zhong Minyan didn’t bother to ask her when they would reach her destination. The mountain path seemed to be never-ending, passing one after another, with no one in sight for miles.

Seeing that the moon is gradually rounding up and is about to become a full moon, Zihu said that after the full moon, they can not enter the Buzhou Mountain, the hearts of the people are anxious than, but Zihu does not say, they can not ask.

The closer they got to the destination, the more agitated everyone seemed to be, and the slightest friction would lead to quarrels and fights, so everyone tried their best to restrain their anger to prevent hurting their feelings over trivial matters.

This day finally came to the foot of a high mountain, Zihu said: “Soon we will arrive at the Buzhou Mountain.”

No one paid attention to her.

“Hey, I said we’ll be at Mount Bu Zhou soon!”

Still no one paid attention to her.

Purple Fox jumped to the ground in anger and glared back at them. All four of them looked dusty and listless, obviously accustomed to the lie she had told countless times along the way, ‘We’ll be at Mount Bu Zhou soon.’

The purple fox coughed, “I mean, before midnight, we have to climb to the top of the mountain. There’s a sacred platform at the top of the mountain, so if there’s nothing unexpected, we’ll be able to reach Mount Bu Zhou tonight.”

Someone finally responded with an ‘Oh.’ Xuanji couldn’t bear to watch her keep talking alone, so she answered kindly.

The purple fox was so anxious that she waved her tail and shouted, “Listen to me! I know I’ve been lying to you before, but this time it’s true, okay? At least you can take advantage of the early morning to discuss the arrangements after going to Mount Bu Zhou, right?”

The four people then believed that she was telling the truth, and Ruo’Yu was the first to wonder, “What is the connection between Mount Bu Zhou and the sacred platform? What are we going to do there?”

The purple fox saw that they all started to pay attention to her, then proudly jumped back into Xuanji’s arms and said, “If we go on like this, we will not be able to reach Mount Bu Zhou in our lifetime. Because it is not in the mortal world, it is usually hidden by the gods. Only in the period from the first to the full moon, it will gradually appear in the human world. At the full moon, the door of the underworld will be open to admit the lonely souls and wandering ghosts into it. So that time is the most suitable to go to Bu Zhou Mountain, Shenshu does not have the time to care about us. Bu Zhou Mountain appears in the world.”

No wonder she has been dragging and dragging, it is to wait for the full moon! She has delayed so many days for nothing! Zhong Minyan snorted immediately. According to his temperament, he would be cursing badly. Everyone was ready to avoid this volcanic outburst. Unexpectedly, he didn’t speak anymore and went uphill.

There really is something wrong with him these days. Xuanji looked at his back in amazement, you should be happy to be at your destination, why do you still look so worried?

Looking back at Yu Sifeng, he just happened to look over, and seeing Xuanji’s dark eyes staring at him, he smiled slightly and gestured at her to go up the mountain.

Xuanji nodded hurriedly and walked quickly. Rushing to the top of the mountain before dark.
