What is it like to be led around by a ghost?

The fragrance of flowers and birdsong awakened Yu Mohui's five senses.

Open your eyes, the woods are overcast, the sunlight breaks through the gaps between the dense layers of leaves and breaks into light spots scattered on the ground, the light spots move with the rhythm of the wind blowing.

This is a forest—a forest that he feels somewhat familiar with.

Yu Mo looked around and was sure that this was neither Maoshan nor Yandangshan, but he had not climbed any other mountains in the past 21 years, so this inexplicable sense of familiarity should come from his past life memories that he hadn't recalled yet.

If there is no accident, this place should be a certain part of Jiongwu's memory, but there are only trees and flowers around, and no one is seen. Where will Jiongwu be...

Just as he was hesitating whether to look around, there were a few strange noises not far away, and the alarm bells rang in his heart.Jiongwu lived more than 1000 years ago, and the mountains and forests more than 1000 years ago have not been occupied and destroyed by humans. They are pure natural wild animals, and there must be many beasts in them.These strange noises are very similar to the sound of feet stepping on dead branches and fallen leaves. If they are not even, they are tigers, black bears or the like, and he has no weapons or ghostly aura at the moment, just an unarmed mortal.

Hearing that the voice seemed to be coming towards him, Yu Mo swallowed back his saliva, calmed down, walked towards the nearest tree lightly, grabbed a branch and climbed up the tree.

After all, it was the first time he climbed a tree. He stopped after climbing four or five meters. In the past, people who watched TV dramas climbed trees easily. Only when it was his turn did he realize that climbing a tree is not just a simple physical labor.He was sweating and out of breath, and the voice was so close that if he made any movement, he might be noticed immediately.He adjusted his breathing, sat on a branch hugging the trunk, and waited quietly.

Within a few breaths, a figure came out of the woods.It seems that the appearance of the person is just a small boy, wearing an ancient costume of an unknown dynasty, carrying a backpack half the size of his body, and holding a small shovel in his hand.

Looks like it was just a false alarm.Yu Mohui breathed a sigh of relief, as long as it wasn't a beast.And since the child dared to go up the mountain alone, there shouldn't be any ferocious beasts in this mountain forest.

But he didn't just relax his vigilance, he still sat on the tree and stared at the child silently.

When the child approached, Yu Mohui saw half a basket of flowers and plants in the basket on his back.Some herbs or wild vegetables, he speculated.The ancients relied on the mountains to eat the mountains and the water to eat the water, and there is also a story in ancient poems that "the master of speech went to gather medicine".It seems that this child is not very old, and it is early to take charge of the family.

The child walked a few more steps and stopped under the tree where he was. Without looking up, he put down his back basket and squatted down, carefully digging a weed.Yu Mohui didn't know any Chinese herbs and wild vegetables, so in his eyes, what the child dug up was just a weed.

Could this child be Jiongwu?Jiongwu said he was a god before, right?But do gods also need to go up the mountain to collect herbs?Yu Mohui looked at the top of the child's head and fell into deep thought.

While thinking, he didn't notice that the branch he was sitting on was rattling.

The child under the tree was still digging the grass. Holding a small shovel in his small hand, he was a little awkward, so he simply put the shovel aside and scraped the soil from the roots of the weeds with his bare hands.

Suddenly, with a click, the branch snapped.Yu Mohui fell down suddenly, and before he could react, he fell heavily beside the child. There was a stone just below his waist, it was not big, but it still made him break out in a cold sweat from the pain.The pain was all concentrated in the waist in an instant, as if no other parts of the body felt it.

Ignoring the pain in his body, Yu Mohui immediately sat up covering his waist.The child was less than one meter away from him, but he acted as if he hadn't seen him at all, didn't even raise his head, and was digging grass seriously.

"Hello, little friend?" He tried aloud, but the child didn't move.

"Little friend!" The voice was louder again, but the child still didn't respond.

Can you really not see me?Yu Mo was puzzled in his heart, and stretched out his hand to put his hand on the child's shoulder: "My little friend, you..." But seeing that the hand that had already touched the child passed through the child's body, his eyes widened.

At this moment, the child finally dug up the grass together with its roots, carefully patted the soil on the grass stem with his little hands, and put the grass into the basket.The child raised his head, just in time to meet Yu Mohui's gaze.

Yu Mohui's heart skipped a beat in shock—this face was exactly the same as his when he was a child.

The child in front of him still didn't see him, he picked up the basket and continued to walk forward, but at this moment he understood the current situation.This child should be the previous life in Jiongwu's memory. He ran into Jiongwu's memory, so he can only look at everything here like a wandering soul, and people here will not find his existence.Since it is something that has already happened in memory, it is not something he can disturb and tamper with.

He patted the dirt off his clothes and followed the child.

The child's body is not strong, but he didn't look tired after walking for half a day with half a basket of things on his back. He should have been used to this kind of life for a long time.

In the forest, apart from the sound of the wind blowing the leaves and the chirping of the birds, there was only the sound of Yu Mohui and the child stepping on the dead branches and fallen leaves.

Suddenly, the child stopped and looked to the side and rear with vigilant eyes.Yu Mohui followed his gaze to see the tall grass swaying. He didn't know if it was the wind or something just left there.

The child looked at it for a while before turning around and leaving, the warning in his eyes did not fade away.He went straight on, faster and faster.The number of trees gradually decreased, the sunlight became more and more dazzling, and the eyes gradually opened up.There was a cliff ahead, and his sprinting pace was getting faster and faster.

Yu Mo's heart was raised in his throat, and he followed him closely.Didn't you dig grass leisurely just now?Why are you rushing straight to the cliff now?

And at the moment when the child was about to jump off the cliff, a black figure came at a high speed and grabbed the child's arm.

Yu Mohui stood on the edge of the cliff, and the child stood on a raised stone on the edge of the cliff. The raised place of the stone was just big enough for a child to stand on.

The child stared at the man in black who grabbed his arm, and his voice was immature but with a bit of maturity: "You have been following me these days, right? Are you a monster?"

Yu Mohui felt that time and space were intertwined for a moment, and the man in black—that is, Jiong Wu, was looking at the child in shock and panic.That expression was the same as when he dragged Jiong Wu out of his dream that night.

In the past and present, the first expression they met was exactly the same.

Yu Mo laughed back, thinking about that night, he also thought Jiong Wu was a monster.

More than 1000 years, the vicissitudes of life, the eight or nine-year-old him in his previous life, the 21-year-old him in this life, Jiongwu who was a god a thousand years ago, and Jiongwu who became a ghost a thousand years later, their figures overlapped together.Jiong Wu has not changed at all, her appearance, facial expressions, and even the clothes she wears have never changed.And himself, even if he lost the memory of his previous life, he would still react the same as in his previous life.

Going around for thousands of years, they will still meet, and the same thing will happen.

Jiongwu pulled the child up: "I'm not a monster, I'm an earth fairy here."

The child stared at him suspiciously: "Since you are a god, why do you follow me? You are a monster who wants to eat me, right?"

Jiong Wu was taken aback, laughed, and touched the child's head: "I'm really not a monster. I was worried that you would be in danger if you went up the mountain alone, so I followed you all the time."

"Why should I trust you?"

"If I wanted to eat you, wouldn't I have done it long ago?"

The child thought for a while, and seemed to believe Jiong Wu's words: "Looking at your good looks, you shouldn't be a monster. My name is Yu Jiu, what's your name?"

"My name is Jiongwu."

The child nodded, and didn't let go of Jiongwu's hand: "I'm going down the mountain now, do you want to see me off?"

"Okay." Jiong Wu smiled softly, took the child by the hand and led him down the mountain.

The child and the earth fairy became friends so easily.Every day after that, Jiongwu accompanied Yu Jiu to collect herbs and play on the mountain.There were hundreds of people in the village, and Jiong Wu only showed her figure in front of Yu Jiu.

Yu Mohui has been following them, looking at him and Wu Jiong in the previous life, looking at his lost memories of the previous life.Meanwhile, he gradually learned some other information.

This unnamed village is separated from the outside world by a mountain. The mountain is high and the road is dangerous, so the village is basically isolated from the world.Yu Jiu's ancestors were great generals of a certain dynasty, who fled to this place after being offended by their defeat and settled here. Yu Jiu is the ninth generation descendant of them after they settled here.Yu Jiu's father, Yu Ba, was a doctor in the village, so he learned herbal medicine from his father since he was a child, and was forced by his father to go to the mountains to dig for herbs.

"Isn't your father afraid that you will be in danger?" Jiong Wu was indignant and puzzled when she heard what Yu Jiu said, "I've been following you because I'm worried about you. Aren't your parents worried?"

Yu Jiu didn't react as strongly as Jiongwu, but said calmly: "Father told me not to go to places that are too high or too deep in the woods, there is no danger outside."

Jiongwu still frowned, and whispered: "But I can't really let you go up the mountain alone, how old are you..."

"But now you are with me." Yu Jiu didn't care, looked at Jiongwu with a frank and sincere expression, "I don't like these messy herbs at all, but now you are with me, so I went up the mountain to dig herbs It has become what I look forward to most every day.”

He paused for a while, and then said: "If I hadn't gone up the mountain alone, then you wouldn't have followed me, and I wouldn't have known you, what a pity it would be..."

Jiong Wu laughed, knowing that Yu Jiu was speaking from his heart, not trying to please him.He pinched Yu Jiu's face and asked, "Want to go to the top of the mountain?"

Yu Jiu's eyes lit up immediately: "I want to!" But then she immediately became depressed: "But I can't climb up...the mountain is too high..."

"What are you thinking?" Jiong Wu hugged him up, "How could I let you crawl by yourself?"

A pure spiritual energy swirled around them.The wind blew the leaves rustling, and the aura followed the wind's trajectory, leading them to the top of the mountain.

The vegetation was lush, and they found a piece of rocky land. The stone was only covered with moss, without trees, and the view was quite open.Yu Jiu didn't get off Jiong Wu's body, and continued to hug his neck.With a panoramic view of the houses and farmland in the whole village, his eyes were full of amazement.

"I saw my house!"

"The old scalper that big looks like a sesame seed now!"

"The fields are all square, so neat!"

"The wind here is so comfortable!"

Yu Jiu screamed and marveled, and Jiong Wu only looked at him and smiled, as if all the freedom and beauty between heaven and earth had been given to them.All things are alive, exhaling a rich aura, and when the wind blows, it is the sun and the moon, the willows in the morning breeze, and the warblers singing thousands of miles away.

"You guys... hey!"

They turned their heads and saw a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy stepping on the slippery moss and falling into the mud.Yu Mo recognized the young man at a glance, because even though his age had changed, his facial features were not much different.

The boy got up, his clothes and face were covered with moss and mud: "It hurts me to death!" He was so painful that tears rolled in his eyes.

Yu Jiu got down from Jiong Wu's arms, and the two stepped forward to help the boy up.

"Are you an Earth Immortal too? Why haven't I seen you before?" Jiong Wu asked.

"I seem to be... hey!" The boy immediately covered his mouth as soon as he was about to speak, tears streaming down his face completely uncontrollably.

"What's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

"I bit my tongue..." the boy said aggrievedly.

Yu Jiu couldn't help laughing out loud.

The young man also felt embarrassed, his aura circled around his body, and his clothes immediately returned to cleanliness. He didn't see the embarrassment of falling just now, and he cleared his throat: "My name is Rong Qi, and I was born from the thousand-year-old banyan tree spoken in the opposite village. , is the Earth Immortal of that village."

He spoke proudly, but Jiong Wu couldn't help laughing: "Rong Qi is a good name, but it's too majestic and dignified, which doesn't suit your temperament. Why don't we call you Mao Mao, bold and rash, it suits you very well."

Rong Qi blushed all of a sudden, Yu Jiu also smiled and couldn't help reminding: "You only cleaned the clothes, but you haven't wiped off the mud on your face yet!"

Rong Qi hurriedly wiped his face, so his face was clean, but his clothes were dirty again.Jiongwu and Yu Jiu laughed, but he couldn't help laughing shyly.

The three of them got acquainted, so far, everything is so beautiful.

But under the remains of the Kunpeng at the bottom of the East China Sea, there were two lines of clear tears on Jiongwu's face.
