Chapter 4155: Monster on the Mountain, Pink Skirt Woman
Mr. Zhou has seen the world.
Therefore, he could naturally see that this scholar was no ordinary person.
Although there was no trace of magical power emanating from him.
But it gives people a feeling of being extraordinary.
If it were him, he would be a good match for my daughter.
And in the days that followed.
Besides living at Dazhuang's house and helping with farm work, the scholar also...
He came to the private school to teach the children in the village some knowledge.
Meanwhile, Mr. Zhou's daughter, Zhou Yan, always stood to the side, gazing at the scholar with tender and affectionate eyes.
Unfortunately, this scholar seemed a bit dense.
He only treated Zhou Yan as a friend.
Time passed under these circumstances.
However, one day...
Suddenly, Ya Dan started arguing with the other children from the village in the private school.
"What are you talking about? That woman isn't a monster!"
Ya Dan was very angry and shouted with a red face.
“My father said that the creatures living on that mountain are monsters, and anyone who gets close to that area will have their soul stolen.”
A little boy retorted, not to be outdone.
"No, that lady is the most beautiful lady I've ever seen."
"And at that time, I twisted my ankle by the river, and it was that lady who saved me."
"She just casually wiped it, and my foot was healed. That lady is an angel!"
"It's a monster!"
"It's a fairy!"
Looking at the two arguing so fiercely that their faces turned red.
The scholar stepped forward and asked with a faint smile, "What are you arguing about?"
"Big brother, you be the judge..." Ya Dan said.
Then, they told the scholar something as well.
It was originally located on a small hill to the west of Taoyuan Village.
There was a woman living there, isolated from the world, and she didn't have any contact with anyone in the village.
But rumors suggest that as long as you get close to where that woman lives...
Any living being can inexplicably faint or lose consciousness.
The more fantastical version says that one's soul will be stolen.
Over time, rumors spread in the village that the woman on the hill was a monster, and no villager dared to approach her.
However, Ya Dan argued her case based on reason.
Before she spoke of it, she had been playing and catching fish by the stream at the foot of the mountain.
He accidentally stepped on a smooth stone, twisted his ankle, and fell into the river.
At that time, she thought she was going to die.
As a result, a gentle force enveloped her and brought her to the shore.
Then, she saw the perfect woman in a pink dress, whose beauty seemed otherworldly.
Ya Dan swore she had never seen such a beautiful woman.
Even Zhou Yan, the most beautiful woman in the village, is incomparable to that woman in the pink dress.
Ya Dan immediately thought of the village legend that a monster lived on that small mountain.
But are monsters really this beautiful?
However, when the woman in the pink dress approached her, the scene of a monster eating people that Ya Dan had imagined did not occur.
The woman simply touched her foot with her delicate hand, and it was healed immediately.
"Next time, don't come to the river alone, it's dangerous."
The mysterious woman in the pink dress had a soft voice that made you want to drift into a dream.
“That lady is definitely a fairy, not some kind of monster,” Ya Dan said confidently.
Hearing these arguments, the scholar smiled faintly and said, "In that case, we'll know once we go and see for ourselves."
Upon learning that the scholar was going to that small hill.
Zhou Yan appeared in front of him.
"Young master, it's dangerous up there..."
She was very worried, fearing that something might happen to the scholar.
"It's alright. Listen to Ya Dan, there shouldn't be any danger," the scholar said.
Then he went up the mountain.
Many villagers were surprised and worried, and tried to dissuade him.
However, the scholar insisted on going.
When the scholar arrived at the mountain, he was amazed by the scenery before him.
Flowers in full bloom, a riot of colors.
Countless butterflies of various colors fluttered in the air.
The scene is so beautiful, it's like a colorful dream.
Then, he saw a very simple house on the hilltop.
And, there was that stunningly beautiful woman in a pink dress standing amidst the flowers.
The moment their eyes met, time seemed to freeze.
All the butterflies were frozen in mid-air, maintaining the posture of flapping their wings.
"who are you?"
The woman in the pink dress asked the scholar a question.
She felt a strange sense of familiarity.
"who am I?"
The scholar looked bewildered for a moment. Suddenly, he looked up at the clouds on the horizon, drifting freely in the wind.
A fleeting inspiration flashed through my mind.
"Yun Xiao".
"My name is Yun Xiao," the scholar said.
"You're actually unaffected by the formation?"
The woman in the pink dress looked at the scholar with a hint of surprise.
Now the scholar understood.
Why is it rumored that creatures that approach this mountain will faint and collapse?
It turns out it was because of the formation.
"Are you an immortal or a demon?" the scholar asked.
"So what if I'm a fairy, or a demon?" the woman in the pink dress said.
The scholar shook his head slightly: "There is no difference. A person's character has nothing to do with whether he is a god or a demon."
"Even immortals can commit cruel acts, and not all demons are man-eating monsters."
Upon hearing this, the woman in the pink dress looked at the scholar with her clear and beautiful eyes, which seemed to be able to draw people into a dream.
"You are indeed a little different from other people."
"Why do you live here alone?" the scholar asked.
"Human hearts are so treacherous," the woman in the pink dress added. "I've witnessed it firsthand."
The scholar shook his head and said, "Indeed, sometimes the human heart is more terrifying than evil spirits."
"But not everyone is like that."
"For example, the villagers of Taoyuan Village are all very kind."
The woman in the pink dress remained silent.
"I will come to see you again," the scholar said.
He left behind a pottery jar.
After the scholar left, the woman in the pink dress waved her sleeve, and the earthenware pot flew over. She opened the lid, revealing a fragrant soup inside.
The woman in the pink dress seemed slightly lost in thought.
After that, the scholar indeed came from time to time, and he was the only one who dared to come.
The remaining villagers still had reservations.
The woman in the pink dress might have had a vague feeling about the scholar, or perhaps she felt that he was different from everyone else.
So she didn't reject anything.
Over time, the two became acquainted.
The relationship improved naturally.
Once again, the scholar came, bringing with him a painting.
The woman in the pink dress opened it and found that the painting depicted a stunningly beautiful woman standing amidst a cluster of flowers.
None of the surrounding flowers could match her radiance.
"This is the view from when I first saw you, and I've kept it in my mind ever since," the scholar said with a smile.
The woman in the pink dress blushed; she was more beautiful than the flowers.
The scholar, accompanied by the woman in the pink dress, descended the mountain and arrived at the village.
The villagers were all astonished.
At first, I was still filled with doubt and fear.
But the scholar, holding the woman in the pink dress by the hand, told everyone that she was not a bad person.
The woman in the pink dress looked at the scholar, her bright eyes sparkling with a gentle light.
Over time, the villagers gradually learned about the woman in the pink dress.
The woman in the pink dress possessed mysterious supernatural powers and magic.
In comparison, Mr. Zhou's petty tricks seem like children playing house.
She can also easily heal the injuries and illnesses of some villagers.
Gradually, the villagers accepted the woman in the pink dress, even calling her a living bodhisattva who could cure all diseases.
The scholar and the woman in the pink dress built a small house at the west entrance of the village.
They lived together.
Everything was so natural and simple.
There were no major ups and downs.
The woman in the pink dress once said that she would teach the scholar some methods of cultivation.
However, he refused.
I think it would be nice to live an ordinary life with the woman in the pink dress.
This ordinary life continued for several years.
However, one day several years later...
The entire Peach Blossom Village was trembling violently.
The towering cliff at the village entrance was actually split apart and completely shattered by someone using incredible methods.
"Demon, you were indeed hiding here!"
Several figures stood in the void, their magical power swirling around them, their voices cold and indifferent. (End of Chapter)
