Chapter 260 Heading towards the mountains

Author: Youdaoyan

Fang Mu did not and did not dare to tell anyone about the abnormal events that happened to him. Asking for help from others was just dragging people into trouble, which would do no good to himself or others.

He really wanted to say that man can conquer nature, but that is what only the protagonist in the novel is qualified to say. He is just an ordinary person and does not have any magical powers.

If the future could be changed, then he would not be alive today. He should have died on the day of the physical education exam ten years ago because he could not find a suitable heart source.

Fang Mu's heart was like a flame that was about to run out of oil, and despair was the future he could see at a glance.

He cut off contact with the outside world and stayed alone at home for three days and three nights. In addition to maintaining the basic three meals a day and sleeping, he remained silent at other times. He spent more time in a daze than thinking, and even thinking was just random thoughts.

.

After intermittently daydreaming, Fang Mu opened the travel app on his phone, swallowed, and pressed the train ticket to Guinan with a trembling thumb.

"A trap is a trap, just die." Fang Mu seemed to be giving himself a psychological suggestion, looking at the interface showing that the ticket booking was successful, and said to himself, "I just want to pursue an answer now, even if the answer is desperate

…”

On May 24, 2023, Fang Mu packed up a travel bag and headed out alone, without telling anyone his itinerary.

Fang Mu has a withdrawn personality and doesn't care about socializing. He seldom contacts his relatives and friends. His silent but steady character is well known and is a common practice. If Fang Mu doesn't show up for one or two months in a row, they won't worry.

If Fang Mu encounters any trouble, I just think that he should probably stay at home. If there is something urgent, just call him and go to his house to find him.

On the high-speed train heading to Guinan, Fang Mu had no rest and no time to look at the scenery. He just reviewed the contents of the diary, highlighted the key points, and used his mobile phone to look up several names mentioned in the diary.

The Toad God, the totem god of local clans, is responsible for sleep, wealth, knowledge and the power of darkness. There are still people who believe in him in the Guinan Plateau and the northern plains of China. What is more amazing is that there is no historical record of cultural blending.

There are actually followers of the Toad God in other parts of the world, and

The records of this god are almost the same. Some scholars have boldly speculated that perhaps in the very distant past, before the birth of human graphic records, there really was such a toad-like creature. They appeared among human ancestors.

vision, and brought blessings to human ancestors.

Nunshan, there is no record on the Internet. Nun is a local dialect in southern Guangxi, but it is also an inaccurate pronunciation. The correct pronunciation is "non", which means "sleep" and "sleep".

…

Fang Mu tried his best to search for relevant information, but the results were limited. He sighed secretly. It seemed that to find out other things, he still had to communicate with the locals.

After the train arrived at a second-tier city in southern Guangxi, Fang Mu got off the train and went to the station to buy a bus ticket to the town mentioned in his diary, with almost no stops along the way.

After arriving at the small town and getting off the car, Fang Mu was greeted by a dark-skinned man.

"You are the tour guide Mo Guangning I ordered from the travel APP, right?" Fang Mu vaguely identified him by comparing the other person's appearance with the tour guide's ID photo in the order on his mobile phone.

"Yes, Boss Fang, nice to meet you. Welcome to our Qiandang Town." The man nodded and grinned, showing two rows of neat white teeth.

The tour guide himself is much darker than his ID photo. He looks much like farmers who often farm under the sun. This shows that private tour guides are not an easy job.

Mo Guangning drove Fang Mu's rented car locally and drove Fang Mu to the hotel they booked. During the drive, Mo Guangning kept introducing the local natural scenery and delicious food while observing his employer's reaction. .

When Mo Guangning discovered that Fang Mu was not interested in any of the tourist attractions he mentioned, and his reaction was even a little perfunctory, he stopped recommending it and asked: "Boss, do you already have one?" What are your plans? Do you have a place you want to go?"

He is considered to be the best private tour guide in the local area, and he knows how to watch what is happening. Generally speaking, employers who are not interested in the sightseeing spots and local delicacies he proposes, either he has already planned it, or he is not here to travel at all.

If the employer is the former, there is no need to talk nonsense. The boss is more assertive. He can go wherever he wants and just accompany him. If the employer is the latter, he often needs to be more vigilant.

This is the border of China. If it’s not tourism, it’s “business talk”...

"Do you know Wenyatun?" Fang Mu asked softly while looking at the scenery outside the window.

Hearing this, Mo Guangning's expression changed and he was a little surprised, but he still nodded: "You know, that's my hometown."

Hearing the tour guide's words, Fang Mu immediately turned his head and looked at the other person intently: "Then do you know Nongshan?"

"Nongshan..." Mo Guangning murmured, frowning, worry and anxiety in his eyes, "Boss, do you want to go to that place? There is nothing interesting there."

Mo Guangning suddenly regretted taking this order. He didn't expect that his employer was neither here to travel nor to "negotiate business", but...

"I know, I've heard a little bit about it." Fang Mu nodded. He felt that the tour guide was taboo about this place, and his mood seemed to have become a little heavy. He did not continue to ask questions for the time being, but remained silent.

It was not until dinner that Fang Mu continued to ask at the dinner table: "How much does Brother Mo know about Nongshan?"

Mo Guangning, who seemed to have forgotten his troubles and was happily cooking, suddenly stiffened, as if the delicious food had lost its taste. However, he remained professional and patiently replied: "Nongshan is our local mountain." Yeren Mountain is related to the sacrificial culture of a god that we believe in locally. In the past, every fourth month of the lunar calendar, we would go into the mountain, open an altar in the mountain, practice rituals, and pay homage to the god. However, since the altar in the mountain was destroyed, it is no longer very common. Few people enter that mountain anymore..."

As he spoke, his lips were a little dry. He took a sip of tea, as if suppressing the fear that had arisen in his stomach, and continued: "After all, there is something evil about that mountain."

"What kind of evil method?" Fang Mu was infected by the other party's trembling voice, and his heart began to beat uneasily along with Mo Guangning's shaking eyes.
