Chapter 433, Yu Wan's Return (Part 7)
Zhurong Peak, with an altitude of 1,300.2 meters, towers into the sky and stands majestically in the south. It is the highest and main peak of Nanyue Hengshan Mountain. Watching the sunrise in summer and enjoying the snow in winter are probably the most beautiful scenery on it.
Lu An and Yu Wanzhi went up the winding mountain road from Nanyue Temple, passing the Banshan Pavilion and not far from Yehou Academy, and arrived at the legendary Nantianmen.
The two of them took a short break here and went to the God of Wealth Temple and the God of Longevity Temple.
In the God of Longevity Temple, Yu Wanzhi seemed to remember the twitching of his right eyelid. He not only burned long incense to the Bodhisattva, but also knelt on the futon to pray for a long time.
During this period, Lu An vaguely heard this sister muttering his name. Was she praying for his longevity? For safety?
He stared at her side face for a long time. In the end, he said nothing, but secretly thought that he had climbed more than halfway. Although the road was icy and a little slippery, it would not cause any accident. It seemed that the twitching of the right eyelid was purely accidental.
For him now, since the miracle of rebirth has happened to him, he dare not completely deny superstition and legends.
How does that saying go?
It is better to believe it than not to believe it. Even if you take a step back, you can not believe it, but you must maintain the corresponding awe.
On the right side of the South Gate of Heaven, there is a stone carving of "Longevity as Long as the Southern Mountains", which is also the reason why Hengshan is also known as "Shouyue", which means to bless the masses and live as long as the Southern Mountains.
The reason for this name is that Hengshan corresponds to the Zhen star among the 28 stars, and there is a small star next to the Zhen star, named "Changsha Star", which is in charge of the longevity of the people on earth.
Yu Wanzhi took him to take a photo under the stone carving, and then she touched the stone carving and looked up and asked, "Luan, how high is this stone?"
Luan followed and looked up, "3 meters 99."
"3 meters 99? Why is it such a number? Is there any other reason?" Yu Wanzhi asked sharply.
"You guessed right, there really is one."
Lu An explained to her the origin of the number: "3 is the homonym of mountain, 99 means the Double Ninth Festival, and the return to one. In our folk culture, 9 is the extreme number, and 3.99 meters means long life and longevity."
After resting for about 20 minutes, the two continued to climb up along the gravel road. In the middle, they went into the Great Hall and the Heavenly King Hall. After about 70 minutes, they finally climbed to the top of the mountain.
Looking at the red sun in the east, Yu Wanzhi seemed a little excited. She stood on the top of the mountain and said:
"There is a saying that you can never climb a mountain in your life, but you must have a mountain in your heart."
Lu An nodded, thinking that this was very reasonable, and reached out, "Give me the camera, I'll take a picture of you."
Yu Wanzhi said okay, and then stood facing the sun and asked him to take a picture of his back.
On the last section of the road to the Holy Emperor Temple on the top of the mountain, the two met a "peace stone" on the side of the road. Seeing her, Yu Wanzhi seemed to be relieved, and most of the worries in his heart were gone.
After crossing the Pingan Stone, the two saw the golden signboard "Nanyue Hengshan" on Zhurong Peak, which was also standing on a huge stone. The font was engraved and painted with a layer of red paint. Going back a long stone staircase, they arrived at the Holy Emperor Hall.
At this moment, the room was full of people. The two waited for a long time before they had room to squeeze in. After bowing and burning incense as usual, Lu An unknowingly came to the "Heaven Connection" on the east side.
As soon as he arrived here, he couldn't help but stop, his eyes passed over the mountains and projected to the ancient town of Nanyue below.
In his previous life, when he came to visit Nanyue, he had considered a question: that is, how to integrate natural scenery with the nationalization of oil painting?
In his previous life, he was standing here at the "Heaven Connection" stone, looking down at the ancient town of Nanyue, and this idea came into his mind. At the beginning, he had some thoughts that were about to move in his heart. It might be too messy, or it might be that his level was not enough. He vaguely touched it, but always felt that there was a layer of gauze between them.
He never explored the true meaning.
In the following ten years, he came to Zhurong Peak several times, but still found nothing and didn't find the answer in his heart.
This is also the reason why he wants to climb Zhurong Peak again after his painting skills have greatly improved in this life.
Seeing Luan standing there thinking about the ancient town of Nanyue at the foot of the mountain, Yu Wanzhi also followed and stood beside to appreciate the scenery below.
After a long time, she asked: "What are you thinking about?"
Luan didn't seem to hear her question. His mind was already full of houses in the ancient town of Nanyue. Out of his painting instinct, he slowly simplified the houses near and far, leaving only black and white in his mind.
The black dots represent the houses, which is the imaginary effect presented after simplification.
And the white wall except the dots is similar to the white of the saint in "State of Mind".
The difference is that "State of Mind" is a painting of artistic conception, focusing on a state of mind.
But this "white" is a microcosm of the simplicity of the great way. Thinking about this, Luan fell into a mysterious world, as if he had caught it. A voice told him that he seemed to have caught it.
Seeing him frowning from time to time and showing a hint of surprise in his eyes from time to time, Yu Wanzhi knew that the little man beside him must have had inspiration again, and he couldn't help but feel happy for him.
In this happiness, there was also a hint of admiration and pride.
Admire his talent!
Be proud of his talent!
It was unknown how long it took. When the wind blew in the mountains, when the sun was covered by clouds, when Yu Wanzhi wanted to turn around and tell Tang Xi to find an umbrella to shelter from the rain, Lu An suddenly moved.
He turned around suddenly, hugged Yu Wanzhi next to him, turned around three times, laughed and said: "Found it! I found it!"
The second time I was held in a circle by the little man.
The first time was at a hostel house and the second time was at the top of a mountain with lots of traffic.
It was the first time for him to be held in the arms of a man in front of so many people. Yu Guanzhi's face was slightly flushed, and a touch of red could not help but appear on his white jade neck.
But aside from these, she was more impatient: "Do you want to sketch it?"
Unexpectedly, Lu An shook his head this time, and once again asked the camera to point it at the bottom of the mountain and took a few photos:
"No, the painting is already in my heart."
He's not talking big, he really doesn't need it!
Because it’s not the first time I’ve come here, nor twice or three times, but multiple times. The general appearance of Nanyue Ancient Town has long been in his mind. Now that the road is simple, he has found the true meaning, and naturally he will no longer stick to the formality.
After hearing his confident answer, Yu Guanzhi did not ask any more questions, but whispered softly: "Little man, let me down."
Lu An was so excited that he couldn't help himself and blurted out: "Don't let me go."
After looking at each other for a long time at close range, Yu Guanzhi said meaningfully: "You will fall like this, which is not a good thing."
Lu An tightened his clasped hands and defended himself, "I am a passionate person."
Hearing this, Yu Guanzhi fell silent.
If he was a loyal and honest person before meeting him, then Yu Guanzhi would never be able to accept his philandering.
But she knew that he was a careless person, but she didn't take precautions, which resulted in one wrong step and the next, and she made the mistake now. It's too late to say anything now.
The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and there was also drizzle. Lu An was a little depressed and complained: "This rain is coming all the time. Isn't the climate on the top of the mountain changing too fast?"
Yu Guanzhi was a woman and was naturally sensitive and overthinking. She felt that this was an accident, which reminded her of the twitching of her right eyelid. She quickly urged: "Others are starting to go down the mountain, so let's go down too."
Lu An had no shaft, so he led her down the mountain.
However, this time the two of them did not think about going down the mountain on two legs. They had seen the scenery and taken the photos on the way up. There was nothing left to remember in a short period of time. Only fools would bother to leave the shuttle bus and not take it. Walking.
There were many people who had the same idea as the two of them, and the shuttle bus became a hot commodity. Lu An, with his tall figure and the help of Lu Qing and the three girls, finally managed to pull Yu Guanzhi onto a shuttle bus.
Surprisingly, the driver was a woman.
What is even more surprising and frightening is that the winding road down the mountain explains what the eighteen bends of the mountain road are, what the cliffs are, and what the nine-turn ileum is.
Seeing the shuttle bus that was about to stand upright, the people in the bus were stunned! Some girls who were timid were even scared to tears.
The veteran driver Lu An was no exception. He held on to the handrail and felt a chill in his heart. He secretly thought that the road down the mountain in the future would not be so steep or narrow. It was so damn scary!
A middle-aged man who suffered from motion sickness vomited three times in a row and turned his stomach inside out. He couldn't help but ask the driver, "Master, how many years have you been driving this route?"
The female driver didn't look back: "This is the first year."
Luan: "."
With the sound of "First Year", the car suddenly became silent. Many people probably regretted it to death. If they had known this, they might as well have walked down the mountain.
Surprisingly, there was nothing unusual about Yu Guanzhi the whole time. He kept looking at the scenery outside through the car window without saying a word.
Lu An's body couldn't help but swayed as the car followed him, and he finally asked: "Sister Yu, aren't you worried?"
Yu Guanzhi smiled weakly and said nothing.
In fact, she was a little worried before getting in the car, but after the car started moving, she was no longer afraid. She didn't know why?
The process was quite exciting. Amidst the yelling of people in the bus, the bus finally drove smoothly to the bottom of the mountain. At this time, many pilgrims expressed fear: They would rather walk a few more steps in the future than dare to take the bus.
After getting off the car, Yu Guanzhi looked back at Zhu Rongfeng behind him for a long time, not knowing what she was thinking.
Lu An guessed that it was related to "fate", but he didn't mention it too much. After all, the group of people had landed safely, which meant that the theory of right eyelid twitching was self-defeating.
Back in Nanyue Ancient Town, Yu Guanzhi suddenly looked at his trousers and said, "Your trousers got some prickly grass seeds on the mountain roadside. Do you want to buy transparent tape to glue them off?"
Lu An lowered his head and took a look, "Okay, I bought these pants not long ago. This is the second time I've worn them. I really can't bear to throw them away. I just don't know if there is any transparent tape sold nearby?"
Yu Guanzhi thought for a while and said, "Follow me. I remember seeing it in a store last night."
It was true as she said, transparent plastic was indeed sold, and the store was not far from Yuemin Hostel.
After returning to the room and removing the grass seeds with tape, Lu An asked: "Sister Yu, we have been here for three days, when are we leaving?"
Yu Guanzhi closed the window, "It looks like it's going to rain heavily. If you're not in a hurry to go home, just stay for two more days. Since I have nothing to do recently, I can come here and watch you paint."
But Lu An said: "Spring has already begun, and now it is spring. It rains every two days, and it may not stop at once."
Yu Guanzhi understood, stared into his eyes and asked: "School is about to start, do you want to take the time to go back to accompany Meng Qingchi?"
Lu An was a little embarrassed when his little idea was exposed, but he was embarrassed for a moment, and then nodded frankly, "I usually don't have time, and it's rare to come back during the winter and summer vacations."
This was his sincerity. Sister Qingchi would not allow him to return to Changshi on weekdays, and he had made a promise to this. This commitment remains valid throughout college.
During the summer and winter vacations, Qingshui and the Meng family were around, so he couldn't spare much time to spend alone with Sister Qingchi, which made him feel itchy.
Her eyes stayed on his face for a while, and Yu Wanzhi looked away later, said nothing, and got up to pack up silently.
Seeing this scene, Lu An felt a little guilty. The relationship between the two was no longer pure, and even half public. It was self-evident why Sister Yu came to Nanyue Mountain on purpose.
But now he was thinking about running to another woman. If Yu Wanzhi wanted to say how comfortable he was in his heart, it was estimated that even a heartless and careless person would not be like this.
Of course, Lu An did this intentionally.
There was no way. Yu Wanzhi's own charm was too great. When Lu An realized that his feelings for her were growing by leaps and bounds, he felt some inexplicable pressure. Just like what she said on Zhurong Peak, "You will fall, it's not a good thing." In order to prevent the two from losing control, he wanted to escape temporarily.
In addition, the Yu family is a behemoth to him. Once the two of them get out of control and get together, once the truth is revealed in the future, he is not sure that he can handle it.
So, he chose to hint to her in this way that he could not treat her wholeheartedly in this life.
In fact, he had already hinted this once on Zhurong Peak. The sentence "I am a passionate person" was intended to give her a shot of prevention, hoping that she would not take measures against the woman around him.
I don't know if this girl understood the hint twice before and after?
But he tends to think that the other party has understood, otherwise she would not pack up so straightforwardly.
After moving the clothes and souvenirs into the Audi, Yu Wanzhi suddenly said, "I will go to Shao City with you and take Qingshui away tomorrow or the day after tomorrow."
"Ah?" Lu An looked at her in surprise, a little incredible and a little moved.
He had just treated her like this, but she didn't care about the past and chose to fulfill it. For a while, he was stunned and speechless.
After a long time, Lu An sighed and said, "I am too narrow-minded."
Yu Wanzhi smiled knowingly and said with a very understanding look, "Don't be too stressed."
Don't be too stressed, this statement from her mouth is equivalent to a disguised response to his previous words and his concerns: he will not take tough measures against the women around him.
Of course, there is also the possibility that she is a little discouraged. After all, the effort and reward are not proportional. If it were an ordinary woman, she might shrink back automatically.
He didn't know what this sister was thinking now, but he had no choice. Before his own strength was strong enough, he couldn't be all-round and couldn't meet the needs of every confidante.
After settling the bill with the hostel, the two cars left Nanyue Ancient Town one after the other.
As if knowing that he was full of guilt, Yu Wanzhi took the initiative to sit in his Audi to comfort him. After driving for more than 30 kilometers, Lu An asked, in order to ease the quiet atmosphere, "I know you like driving. Do you want to try this kind of mountain road?"
Yu Wanzhi looked out through the car window. There was a mountain on the right side of the road and a small hill on the left. There was a river below the hill and a large piece of farmland beside the river.
She was eager to ask: "Is there usually a lot of traffic on this road?"
Lu An said: "Fortunately, this area is relatively remote, and the nearest village is still 2 miles away. There are few cars on weekdays."
Hearing this, Yu Wanzhi's heart was instantly moved, "I'm tired of driving in the city, I'll try the mountain road. If there are big bends and dangerous sections ahead, you must tell me in advance."
Lu An smiled and said: "Don't worry, although this is a mountain road, the road is relatively flat, and there are basically no dangerous areas you mentioned."
At this point, he added jokingly, "If there are dangerous sections, I would be so afraid of my life that I would not dare to let you drive."
Because it was pouring rain outside, Lu An parked the car on the side of the road and did not get out of the car. He just exchanged seats in the car.
Because the atmosphere was not right, the two did not exchange seats as before, and they exchanged seats together.
Hu Tou Ben, who was behind, saw that the Audi car in front suddenly stopped, thinking that Miss Yu and Mr. Lu were in a good mood and wanted to let the car dance again, so he was very tactful and prepared to reverse and back up a little.
However, before Hu Tou Ben could retreat, the Audi in front moved again. The three women looked at each other and accelerated to follow.
After driving about 500 meters, Lu An asked: "How was the experience of the mountain road?"
Yu Wanzhi smiled and said: "Not yet."
Before she finished the words after the word "no", Yu Wanzhi's right eyelid suddenly twitched violently. Before she realized what was going on, she found that the trees on the right side of the mountain were shaking violently, and then the next moment she saw a mountain falling from the sky and smashing down on the Audi.
"My right eyelid twitched, so that's it." Yu Wan, who heard an ominous voice in her heart, subconsciously wanted to step on the accelerator to speed up and escape, but she was still a step slower. She only heard a dull sound of "puff" coming into her ears, and the world immediately fell into darkness.
A few seconds before falling into darkness, she instinctively turned her head to look at Lu An, and her right hand also grabbed it. Even if she was going to die, she wanted to hold the little man's hand and die together
