The General and the Mountain God

After returning to the border, Du Heng often had a dream.

In the dream, there will always be a bamboo forest, in which a man in red sits playing the piano, and a white deer stands beside him.

He saw clearly that the man in red was a mountain god, and wanted to walk over, but an invisible wall in the air blocked him.

He stood far away and shouted to the mountain god, but the mountain god didn't seem to hear him, so he just looked at him with a smile while playing the piano.

After waking up from the dream, he often couldn't remember the face of the person in the dream.

He was a little confused whether it was the mountain god or Mu Xu who was dreaming about.

A few times down, he stopped trying to talk to that person, just sat quietly and listened to him playing the piano, and occasionally talked to himself about himself.

Every time the man in red played a different piece, Du Heng only thought it was very pleasant, and he couldn't remember it at all after waking up from the dream.

But for this dream, he had some expectations.

Hearing the sound of the piano made him feel that the mountain god was very close to him.

But the dream maker on the other side of the dream, life is not so easy.

"To wake up Lingyu in order to fall asleep, you are quite capable, huh?" Ahri was very angry.

"Didn't Lingyu come to dream?" Mu Xu whispered.

"Should I praise you?" Ahri raised her voice.

"Praise if you want, you don't have to hold back." Mu Xu laughed along with him.

Ari got angry and said in a serious tone, "You know what I'm talking about."

Mu Xu sighed, pulled Ari over and sat beside him, and rarely said seriously: "I know that the master is for my own good, and I have a sense of proportion."

Ari glared at him and said nothing.

Mu Xu went out and sat in the gazebo.

Thinking of Ahri's appearance just now, he couldn't help laughing.

Although Ari always had no expression and spoke coldly, it was the first time he was so angry.

His heart trembled with fright.

The spirit rain that Ari speaks of is a spirit beast formed from the morning mist in the mountains. It looks like a white deer and can bring people into dreams.

In the past, when he wanted to make trouble in any fairy dream, he brought Lingyu with him.

There was nothing serious about waking Lingyu into Du Heng's dream, and Ari would not be so angry.

The trouble was, he wasn't himself now.

He is not completely a mountain god now, but a person.

It's Mu Xu, the young prince Mu.

When Mu Xu fell into the water at the age of six, his soul had already left his body, and his body was already dead.

After he entered this body, he has been relying on his own cultivation to support the normal operation of the body.

So doing some strenuous movements for a long time can easily make him feel tired.Like the last time I went to Beijing, I was on the road for half a month, and I was about to be disabled.

But these are not the reasons for Ahri's anger.

What makes Ari angry is that when he falls into Du Heng's dream at night, he has to leave this body, and when he comes back, he has to warm up this body again, which will consume a lot of cultivation.

The longer you leave, the more cultivation you will consume.

It may also hurt your vitality.

Ari asked him to give up the skin and become Mu Xu himself.It's not that he didn't think about it.

Helpless, the mountain god has great powers, but he has no ability to change into other people's appearance.

And when he chose to enter this body, he didn't come to the world with his real body, but wanted to be a real person.

Of course, he still has selfishness, and his status is quite honorable, worthy of his status as a mountain god.

More importantly, this body is as old as Du Heng.

If he had been asked to give up this body a few years ago, he might not have hesitated, but... now is different from the past.

King Bian Nan and his concubine treated him well.

Especially the princess, who regards him as her life.

And Grandpa Xuan...

He couldn't bear to let him leave this body without mercy.

......

Shaking his head, Mu Xu didn't want to think about it anymore.

This immortal is a mountain god, and it is more than enough to support this body, so that he will not fall into the field where he is about to leave.

Just be careful when re-entering the dream, so as not to worry Ahri.

Thinking of Du Heng in his dream, Mu Xu couldn't help laughing.

In order not to leak anything, he endured not talking to Du Heng, which made him very hard.

I must give Du Heng a surprise in another day.

In the two years since Du Heng went to the border, he has made great achievements in battle and reported successes frequently.

The little general is good at sports warfare and blitzkrieg. Hu people are caught off guard by winning more with less.

In the battle with Prince Nanhu, Du Heng led eight hundred Qingqi to break out of the encirclement, beheaded two thousand enemies, and captured Prince Nanhu.

In the same year, General Du won a great victory in the Battle of Mobei.

Seeing that there was no hope of turning around, the people of Nanhu sent envoys to discuss peace, and the Great Chu set up a capital in Monan, and the six-year-long Monan campaign came to an end.

The emperor Longxin was very happy, and he granted Du Heng the title of Marquis of Qinghe, and returned to Beijing to receive the reward on a certain day.

Du Heng was 17 years old this year.

The night before returning to Beijing, Du Heng dreamed of the mountain god again.

The mountain god still sat quietly playing the piano. Du Heng told about his going back to Beijing to be the Marquis. The mountain god looked at him with a smile, but still did not respond.

Du Heng was used to it, and he didn't care, so he calmed down and listened carefully to the sound of the mountain god's piano.

Listening to it, he frowned, this song seemed familiar.

After listening carefully for a while, Du Heng remembered that this was the piece that Mu Xu played at the emperor's birthday banquet.

He looked at the mountain god in amazement, and asked softly, "Little prince?"

Hearing the sound, the mountain god stopped the sound of the piano, stood up, still smiling, and looked at him for a long time, then walked a few steps closer to him, said "see you in the capital", and disappeared with the white deer.

Du Heng then woke up, lost his mind for a while, and the two faces of the mountain god and Mu Xu kept interlacing in his mind.

He had a headache, and went outside, it was still dark, and the surroundings were very quiet.

He sat on the stone bench in the yard and sorted out his dreams these days.

Mountain God...Mushu...

In the dream, it was clearly the face of a mountain god, but the tune he played...

Xiao Yu doesn't recognize Mu Xu when she sees her...

Their preferences also...

mountain god...

Mu Xu...

After thinking about it, the mystery in Du Heng's heart gradually dissipated, and an answer was ready to come out.

Is the mountain god Mu Xu?

mountain god...

It is Mu Xu.

After reaching this conclusion, Du Heng burst into ecstasy.

After thinking about it for a while, I felt a little unhappy again.

After the unhappiness passed, the ecstasy began again.

Unable to calm down, Du Heng sat in the yard until dawn. He didn't remember that he was going back to Beijing until two soldiers came to him.
