Take Along A Spring

Yang Fann knew that the Western Mountain was located deep within the Yunmeng Mountain. About twenty miles away from the Poplar Gully was a primitive mountain that was rarely seen.    

Although it was called a western mountain, it was actually still a mountain of Yunmeng Mountain. It was just that the mountain peak's area was a bit larger, so the locals gave it a name.    

If Yang Fann remembered correctly, his father Yang Xiangdong was injured in the Western Mountain years ago. Combined with what Aunt Lee said when she was possessed, Yang Fann was basically certain that the Mountain Spirit that possessed Aunt Lee came from the Western Mountain, and even from the Mountain God Temple that Section Chief Lee mentioned.    

As for the Western Mountain Mountain God Temple, Yang Fann didn't know anything about it. The Western Mountain was a deep mountain where people from the Poplar Gully wouldn't go.    

"Fine, I'll treat it as you being honest then. This bowl of water is your reward. Rest well. I'll come and play with you when I have time."    

After putting down a bowl of pond water, Yang Fann drove away. He didn't even bother to look at Section Chief Lee's expression, nor did he care about the hatred in his eyes.    

Yang Fann did not think that Section Chief Lee would be grateful to him after he imprisoned him. Since Yang Fann did not want to resolve the grudge between him and Section Chief Lee and also did not want to be friends with Section Chief Lee, why would he care about Section Chief Lee's thoughts?    

That night, Yang Fann brought two Spatial Live Fish to Sixth Grandpa.    

"Sixth Grandpa, can you tell me about the West Mountain? I heard that someone found wild ginseng there, I want to go and take a look."    

Yang Fann didn't say that the ghost that possessed Aunt Lee might have come from the West Mountain. That way, Sixth Grandpa would definitely not let him go. Once Sixth Grandpa became stubborn, Yang Fann could not get anything out of him.    

"What? Someone dug wild ginseng from the west mountain? Where did they come from?" "Don't you know you can't go to the Western Mountain? I'm telling you, you must not go. It's too dangerous to come back alive with ten people inside. It's a blessing from the heavens!"    

"I'm just curious, I want to know why the West Mountain is so dangerous. It's okay to be idle anyways, Sixth Grandpa, just tell me about it."    

The reason why Yang Fann did not ask his father Yang Xiangdong was because he was worried that he would stop him. The Yang Xiangdong now was no longer the Yang Xiangdong of the past.    

"Sure, since we're free, then so be it. We'll just nag on and on."    

People are afraid of loneliness the most when they are old, especially people like Sixth Grandpa who can shake the world when they are young. Even though a hunter can't be considered as someone who can shake the world, at least in terms of Poplar Gully, Sixth Grandpa's reputation was top-notch.    

Yang Fann only accompanied Sixth Grandpa for a few drinks before he started to talk about what had happened in the past decades, starting from the limitless glory of his youth.    

Of course, what Yang Fann was most concerned about was the story and legend about the West Mountain. According to Sixth Grandpa, the West Mountain also had a village a long time ago.    

Sixth Grandpa couldn't tell how long ago it was exactly, but Yang Fann could tell from what he said that it was at least in the late Ming or early Qing dynasty, which was about 200 to 300 years ago.    

In the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, the Chinese nation faced the biggest calamity in the modern era, the population of hundreds of millions fell to only a few tens of millions, besides the natural disaster, the most terrifying thing was the human disaster. From the day the Jin army's iron hooves broke through the mountains and rivers of China, the Chinese nation rapidly declined from being a first-rate prosperous people in the world, until it was reduced to a poor people who were ravaged by the strong forces.    

In the era where people could be caught and beheaded at any time, many people would flee into the deep mountains and deep lakes. It was said that the Western Mountain village was established at that time, and even the Poplar Gully was a product of that era.    

Now that the Poplar Gully were so remote, it became even more remote at that time, so remote that no one from the government even went into the mountains to collect taxes. Even now, even the Poplar Gully s were so remote, so remote that no one from the government even went into the mountains to collect taxes.    

It was said that all of the hundreds of people in the entire village were killed by bandits. Only a few people were able to survive because they had to leave the mountain to go to the market, or go to the Poplar Gully realm to visit their relatives.    

After killing hundreds of people in the deserted village, no one dared to go there to see what had happened. Even the bravest of villagers, who had gathered hundreds of ghosts, would not take such a risk.    

At the same time, many legends about ghosts and monsters began to spread throughout the Qingshan Town. Some people who went to the mountains to hunt met a beauty, and she even gave him a drink. They stayed there for the night, and after the rain passed, they woke up the next day to find out that he had slept on a coffin board.    

There were many legends like this: Some people went hunting in the mountains, some people got married, the sound of drums and drums was very lively, the new wife was also very beautiful, the host was very enthusiastic, and even invited hunters for a meal and a drink. When they woke up the next day, they were horrified to find that there were no families, no weddings, and all around them were mass graves!    

As for how Yang Xiangdong got injured, or where, Sixth Grandpa couldn't say. Sixth Grandpa didn't go there that time, and according to the people who did, he seemed to have been in the West Mountain area.    

"Sixth Grandpa, have you been to the West Mountain yet? What's the situation there?" Is it really as scary as the legends say? "    

Yang Fann still did not give up, wanting to find out more information from Sixth Grandpa. Although he could not afford to be remodeled by the spatial Spirit Spring, it was normal for him to be cautious. Since there was such a thing as Space of Jade Pendant, then it would not be strange for him to have something even more powerful.    

"Ah, I've been to the Western Mountain once, but I didn't meet any strange girls or beauties. I didn't even see any married women, and I only beat up a goat before returning. I didn't dare to stay for long."    

In Yang Fann's eyes, Sixth Grandpa seemed to be very proud of himself, as if being able to beat up a goat in the legendary Western Mountain and then return safe and sound was a pretty awesome thing.    

"Sixth Grandpa, do you know the Mountain God Temple of the West Mountain?"    

Yang Fann finally asked the main question. The main reason for his visit this time was to find out the Western Mountain Mountain God Temple. As to whether or not the Western Mountain has the Mountain God Temple, and where, it would be best to find out first.    

The West Mountain was so big, even with Yang Fann's abnormal character, he would still need a long time to find it. If he didn't have any Mountain God Temple, then his efforts would have been in vain!
