The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chapter 318 Entering the Mountain

After hearing what the innkeeper said, Chu Ning'an and the prince looked at each other, exchanged glances, and began to make plans in their minds.

All the clues unexpectedly pointed to the same mysterious place - Fengming Mountain.

The people present knew the truth, but no one was the first to speak up and break the window paper.

After all, the rumors about Fengming Mountain are too bizarre and strange to be true.

Fortunately, tomorrow is the night of the full moon on the fifteenth day of the lunar calendar. According to rumors, a series of extremely strange things will happen at that time.

Thinking of this, everyone couldn't help but think to themselves: Why not take this opportunity to go and find out for themselves, so as to uncover the truth hidden behind it as soon as possible.

Since this matter has been widely circulated and made into a myth, if the facts are not ascertained in a timely manner and the fear and doubts in the hearts of the people are not eliminated, then once it is exploited by some people with ulterior motives, it will inevitably cause social unrest and bring great trouble to the court.

The meticulous prince made a prompt decision and decided to secretly gather a group of capable subordinates to rush to Fengming Mountain in advance to conduct an investigation and collect as much useful intelligence information as possible, so as to make sufficient preliminary preparations for officially entering the mountain to find out the truth tomorrow.

next day afternoon

In the early morning, the sky was clear blue and cloudless.

At noon, the originally clear sky suddenly changed into cloudy.

Thick clouds quickly gathered and rolled, as if a ferocious beast opened its bloody mouth, ready to devour the entire world.

The sky gradually became gloomy, and an oppressive atmosphere spread, making people feel inexplicably uneasy and fearful.

The innkeeper nervously knocked on Ru Yue's door and said to her cautiously and anxiously, "Miss, this is bad! That demon is about to make trouble again. You and your companions must not go out!"

After saying this, he seemed to be afraid that Ru Yue would not listen to his advice. Without waiting for her to ask, he hurriedly turned around and left. Before leaving, he did not forget to turn back and remind her again: "Miss, please remember, you must not go out!"

Looking at the innkeeper's hurriedly leaving back, Ru Yue's heart was filled with doubts and worries.

She didn't know what this so-called spirit was, and why it had caused the innkeeper such panic. However, since the innkeeper had come to warn her, it must be something serious.

Soon, the news spread throughout the team like wings, and everyone realized that the situation was not good.

The Crown Prince, who had been silent the entire time, finally spoke. His face was as stern as water, and his gaze swept across everyone present with determination. He then calmly issued an order: "According to the original plan, there must not be the slightest delay."

After receiving instructions from the prince, the men he brought with him took action. Everyone knew very well that if they missed this opportunity, they would have to wait another half a month.

The current situation in the court does not allow for any delay.

This morning, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince received a pigeon message from His Majesty. Those affiliated with the Second Prince are exploiting these unusual phenomena among the people, attempting to use this opportunity to attack the Emperor. They are making a fuss in the court, claiming that the frequent occurrence of unusual phenomena among the people suggests that the movements of the sun and moon are aberrant, and that this may be a sign that the Crown Prince's future will be difficult and full of twists and turns...

Fortunately, Your Majesty is wise and saw through the sinister intentions of this group of people at a glance. He decisively suppressed those who were spreading rumors and sowing discord in the court.

However, if this matter cannot be properly resolved as soon as possible, it will inevitably cause chaos and turmoil in the court over time.

Just when everyone was worried about this matter, the originally calm sky suddenly underwent an astonishing change.

The rolling clouds seemed to be stirred by an invisible pair of hands, gradually showing a variety of colorful colors.

The colorful glow is like a dreamlike scene, which makes people marvel.

Standing in the courtyard, Ru Yue gazed at the wondrous sight in the sky, thinking to herself, "Such a brilliant glow is more of an auspicious omen than a demonic omen. The world may soon be experiencing prosperity!"

However, contrary to Ru Yue's optimistic idea, the people in the town were frightened by this sudden vision.

For a moment, the whole town seemed to have become a ghost town, and every household closed their doors and windows for fear of encountering any accidents.

The streets were deserted, broken only by the occasional whimpering of chickens and dogs. Even if one couldn't understand the language of these animals, one could still sense an indescribable fear and panic from their miserable cries.

Like ghosts, they quietly split up into small groups and filed out of the inn one after another.

Their figures quickly blended into the night and rushed towards Fengming Mountain at the entrance of the town.

Soon, everyone gathered around a well at the entrance of the town.

At this time, the well water was boiling and steaming, as if there was a raging fire burning underneath.

Although it was a sunny and scorching June day, the wellhead was constantly emitting scorching heat waves, which made people gasp and feel fear in their hearts.

Everyone's attention was attracted by the strange scene at the wellhead, and they didn't notice the amazing changes taking place in the sky.

Suddenly, a guard shouted in fear: "Look, the sunset has changed!"

The colorful rays of light that were originally as brilliant as the arrival of auspicious signs had now turned scarlet as blood, like a sea of blood spreading across the sky.

How could that bloody and eerie color possibly convey any auspiciousness? Instead, it seemed more like an evil spirit was at work in the dark, emitting a chilling aura.

Just at this moment, a low roar came from the deep mountains, like the prelude of thunder and lightning before a heavy rain.

The sound was dull and heavy, accompanied by a gripping buzzing sound that constantly vibrated people's eardrums.

Every roar seemed to hit people's hearts directly, causing them to involuntarily feel an indescribable sense of unease.

Soon, amidst the deafening roar, there was a sound that was like crying and extremely shrill.

When you first hear this sound, it really sounds like the crying of a ghost or the howling of a wolf. It is creepy and makes you feel your eardrums buzzing as if they are about to be pierced by this horrible sound.

The prince and Chu Ning'an looked at each other, and they understood each other's thoughts and nodded to each other imperceptibly.

The prince's eyes were determined, and he shouted without hesitation, "Enter the mountain! Head towards where the sound came from!"

After saying that, he took the lead, took big strides, and walked straight towards the mountain.

Ru Yue followed closely behind Chu Ning'an, her steps light but slightly nervous.

She frowned slightly from time to time, and a barely perceptible worry appeared on her beautiful face.

Everyone present knew that she was of noble status and was Chu Ning'an's fiancée. Therefore, although everyone noticed the change in her expression, out of respect for her status and awe of Chu Ning'an, they did not pay too much attention to it.

But how could Chu Ning'an ignore her subtle changes since he values her so much?

At this time, the sky appeared a deep red color as if stained with blood. The strong red color reflected on the people, making everyone look as if they were covered in blood, revealing an extremely weird and evil atmosphere.

As everyone continued to approach the source of the sound, the already shrill sound became even more sharp and piercing, and each sound seemed to be able to penetrate the depths of one's soul.

Gradually, everyone's eardrums began to ache slightly, and some people could not even bear this torture. They held their heads, covered their ears with their hands, and uttered painful groans from time to time.

Even Chu Ning'an, who was always resolute and calm, began to sweat on his forehead and slide down his cheeks.

Ru Yue knew that he was trying his best to use his inner strength to resist the disturbing sound.

She couldn't be sure when this creepy sound would stop. But everyone seemed to have reached the limit of their patience. If the stalemate continued, everyone's ears would probably suffer severe damage.

In a state of panic, Ru Yue reached out without hesitation and tightly grasped Chu Ning'an beside her. She raised her voice and shouted, "Everyone, open your mouths slightly and cover your ears with cloth."

Her voice was as clear, melodious, and high-pitched as the sound of a yellow oriole singing in a valley. It also contained a unique charm of agility and grace, like a clear spring flowing by, instantly awakening the entire silent world.

Everyone knew that Princess Xihe was an excellent doctor. Now that they encountered this strange sound in the deep mountains and forests, no one could give them a solution. Ru Yue's words undoubtedly became their life-saving straw.

People followed his instructions and did it quickly.

The moment they opened their mouths, they were pleasantly surprised to find that the pain in their eardrums was slightly relieved.

Seeing this, everyone dared not delay at all. They hurriedly tore off their clothes and blocked their ears tightly.

In the blink of an eye, the surroundings seemed to become quiet and peaceful, and the annoying sound seemed to be completely isolated from another world.

Everyone's hearts were filled with gratitude, and they all clasped their fists and bowed to Ru Yue to express their heartfelt thanks.
