Chapter 12: The Heavenly River of the Infinite Gods and Buddhas

  Strolling along the Heavenly River

  At this time, Youyou, who had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up: "You guys go ahead, I want to spend some quality time with my mom, okay?"

  I know Yue's heart is also a mix of emotions, but what can we do by staying here? I've thought about sacrificing myself to feed her, but she wasn't directly harmed by my evil energy.

  At this time, all we can do is quietly leave and give them their last moment together as mother and daughter.

  I walked side by side with Yue towards the direction of my school, and just as we turned around that small path, we both quietly turned our heads back, two white lights quietly flew away like a western flight.

  This, perhaps, is a good ending for them, the mother and daughter will be together forever. It was only then that I realized the stars in the sky were so bright and dazzling, actually not just the moon is the most beautiful...

  That night, I sent Yue back and walked alone on the way back to school, thinking about what happened tonight. Perhaps everything in the world has its own purest emotions.

  Before we make any judgments, ask yourself if you have understood everything, otherwise what you are doing may be just trampling on your own soul.

  It's been a while since that thing happened, but my heart still can't let go. Tian Qing asked me what was wrong, I just smiled at her and said nothing, I never thought I'd have such a lonely moment.

  At the end of next month, Uncle Zhang and Yue came to see me. Uncle Zhang knew everything, but only said to me: "You are not wrong, this experience may bring opportunities for countless lives to avoid being wrongly killed."

  At that moment, I understood. After sending Zhang Shu and Yue away, my life also slowly returned to normal. Occasionally, I would think of the scene where the kind mother and daughter turned into a white ribbon and flew up.

  Life in high school is passing quickly, every day I study, do my duty, after school I accompany Tian Qing to go shopping, at the end of each month I will return home to accompany Dad, Mom and Zhang Shu, as well as Yue.

  Before we knew it, a year had passed. Our class teacher said that the pressure of second and third years would be greater, so take advantage of this holiday to take us out to play together, we all cheered.

  Lao Ban first let us go home and prepare, and gather at the school gate the next day. This time we are going to Xiao Tianhe.

  The Xiao Tian He is a certain distance away from our village, and I've never been there since I was little. It's a small stream that winds down along the mountain peaks, forming a series of scenic views. My parents told me to be careful around water, so I've never gone to play there.

  The next day, I bid farewell to my parents and Uncle Zhang, then took a car to gather at the school gate. Before leaving, Uncle Zhang gave me three more talismans and said: "Be careful when you go out, and bring that artifact with you."

  Okay... My backpack is heavier than others. When I arrived at the school gate, almost all my classmates were there, but Tian Jin said she was going to study and didn't come.

  I saw our dormitory from afar, and those guys were all chatting idly there, their voices so loud that I could hear them even before getting off the bus. After I got off the bus, I also joined their ranks.

  Tian Qing usually tells me to be more elegant, so I look more dignified. Just as we were chatting, Lao Ban arrived in a big bus and waved at us through the glass window. We cheered and jumped on one by one, and after taking attendance, our group set off towards Tianhe with great fanfare.

  Almost arriving at the Heavenly River, several emerald green mountain peaks have come into view, some classmates from the city are shouting, dizzy... No wonder they don't often get to see mountains.

  Huh? Wasn't that mountain we just passed by Pot Hat Mountain? Before I could take a closer look, the car had already entered the scenic area. Although Tianhe isn't very big in scale, there are quite a lot of people who come here to play.

  The driver parked the car and drove away after we got off. He won't be back to pick us up until the day after tomorrow at noon, busy with other business.

  As soon as the car stopped, many classmates couldn't wait to start taking pictures... It's rare to come to such a natural scenic area. The old class organized us to line up in an orderly queue to book rooms at the hotel. This time we came with 37 people, and booked several large rooms, which are for the boys to live in, while two girls share one room.

  We put all the daily necessities in the room and gathered at the hotel entrance with essentials and cameras, our Tianhe three-day tour officially kicked off.

  The gathering is over, and our team, led by Lao Ban, heads towards Tianhe. Along the way, classmates are laughing and joking with each other, after all, this is the first time we've gone on a group outing together.

  When we arrived, the Tianhe River was packed with people~~~ one by one took off their shoes and caught crabs in the river. It's called a river, but it's actually a very shallow stream. We stood inside and the water level was at most just above our knees.

  The girls seemed particularly excited, as the water was not deep, they went into the river in twos and threes to catch crabs. Occasionally, a girl's cry would come: Ah! I caught a crab!, then all the other girls would gather around.

  Then there would be a scream: It bit me! Then you'd see a crab sail through the air in a beautiful arc, spinning 360 degrees before landing with a splash in the river... The girls' laughter echoed on and on.

  But the boys were not very excited, they had thought they could swim in the river and even brought their swimsuits, but didn't expect the water to be so shallow. Lao Ban also took off his shoes and went to play with a group of girls.

  We were sitting by the river and it was boring, so Old Gong suggested: "Why don't we follow the river upstream and see if we can find something interesting? It's got to be better than this."

  He made a proposal and other male classmates all agreed. I also wanted to see the scenery of Tianhe upstream, so I followed everyone in the direction of Tianhe upstream.

  Said hello to Lao Ban, but he seemed to be immersed in playing with his female classmates... We had no choice but to set off. Walking along the Tianhe River upstream, there was a large grassland on both sides of the river.

  Green plants surrounded the Milky Way, some people covered mats on the grass and had a picnic there. I think it would be more beautiful if viewed in mid-air, like a pearl necklace passing through two pieces of emerald jade.

  As I went further upstream, I saw a high ground. For some reason, although it was daytime and this wasn't an eerie place, I still felt something was off, but I couldn't quite put my finger on what it was.

  But my intuition told me it was better not to go up that high ground, however, there was a winding small path next to the high ground, which greatly aroused the boys' curiosity and sense of excitement. They didn't wait for me to speak, one by one they started following the path, climbing up the high ground to see what scenery was on top.

  My gut tells me not to get any closer, but they're so capable of stirring up trouble, what if something else goes wrong on top of that.

  I patted my pocket and was relieved to find that I still had a talisman with me, which could be used as a last resort. With this thought in mind, I quickly followed after them.

  I followed them from behind, walking up the small path, and as I got closer and closer, I didn't feel any evil spirit at all. Was it because I was too nervous?

  "Hey! What's that?!" Suddenly, Liu from our dormitory shouted loudly at the front. Damn it, so loud, scared me to jump.

  He shouted, and we were all curious, one by one quickly ran to the high ground, along the direction he pointed, we saw a small temple. The outside of the temple was all emerald green, with carvings of roaring lions on the eaves, and further down, there was a yellow and white striped temple gate.

  "Wow, this is amazing! I've never seen such a cool temple before! And it's actually built here." "Yeah, yeah..." "Let's go take a look inside." The other boys in the class were already excitedly chattering, all wanting to go check out the scenery inside the temple.

  I hastily stopped them: "Let's just take a look outside, it's better not to go in. Look around, there is no one guarding the temple."

  I don't know why, but seeing this temple makes me feel particularly eerie! How can a temple use such dazzling green as its roof, and I always feel like someone is staring at us.

  But they directly ignored me, one by one rushing to the temple in a hurry, and old Liu from the dormitory pulled me along, saying it's nothing, with so many people around.

  I thought to myself, the yang energy of these dozen or so people is also very strong. Moreover, I still have my innate evil spirit and talisman in hand. Thinking this way, I followed Old Liu and the others from the dormitory towards the temple.
