Don't talk nonsense, this is the Emperor's Banner

Chapter 141: Mountain Speed
"This conductor knows nothing."

Shen Siyuan is very dissatisfied now. He originally wanted to ask the ticket seller about the situation of Phoenix Ridge, but he knows nothing about it. It is estimated that what he knows is not as much as what Shen Siyuan has searched on the Internet.

"Those ticket sellers were probably recruited from outside the scenic area. How could they know the local situation?"

At this time, Ruan Hongzhuang was lying on Shen Siyuan's back, being carried up the mountain by him.

At first, she was a little uncomfortable, her body was stiff, and her cheeks were blushing, but she gradually softened and whispered sweetly in Shen Siyuan's ear.

"Well, now it all depends on Doudou and Xiaoyue. I don't know if they can find the Taoist temple."

Shen Siyuan asked Doudou and Xiaoyue to control the dark wind and search for the Taoist temple around Phoenix Ridge.

They can fly and are at high altitude, so it will definitely be easier for them than for Shen Siyuan to search on foot.

"I have an idea." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"What method?" Shen Siyuan was delighted when he heard that.

"Kiss me and I will tell you." Ruan Hongzhuang whispered in Shen Siyuan's ear.

This request was too simple. Shen Siyuan turned his head and pecked her lightly on the red lips.

Ruan Hongzhuang knew the importance of Chaotian Temple to Shen Siyuan, so she didn't keep him in suspense.

Instead, he pointed to a scenic area maintenance worker nearby and said, "You can ask them. The cleaning staff in these scenic areas are basically villagers living near the scenic areas."

Ruan Hongzhuang's words reminded Shen Siyuan, so he carried Ruan Hongzhuang on his back and walked directly towards an old lady who was sweeping fallen leaves nearby.

Ruan Hongzhuang probably felt a little embarrassed, so she struggled to get down, but was slapped hard on the butt.

Ruan Hongzhuang blushed immediately and buried her head in Shen Siyuan's neck, not daring to raise it again.

He said in a muffled voice: "There are so many people outside."

"Then just lie down obediently."

"I'm just worried that you'll be tired."

"If I were tired, I would definitely help you put it down." Shen Siyuan said.

At this time, they had already come to the lady who was cleaning.

"Hello, Auntie, can I ask you something?"

"What's the matter?" The old lady stopped and asked curiously.

His eyes swept to Ruan Hongzhuang on his back, then fell back to Shen Siyuan, thinking that young people nowadays are really open-minded.

"I would like to ask, is there a Chaotian Temple near Fenghuang Ridge?" Shen Siyuan said.

After the old lady thought for a moment, she nodded and said, "There is indeed a Chaotian Temple."

Shen Siyuan was overjoyed when he heard this: "Where is it?"

"On the west slope of Phoenix Ridge." said the old lady.

"Thank you, Auntie. Thank you so much."

"Do you want to go to Chaotian Temple?" asked the old lady.

"Correct."

"But Chaotian Temple has been abandoned for many years and nothing is left. What are you doing there?" the old lady asked curiously.

"Abandoned? When did it become abandoned?" Shen Siyuan was stunned when he heard that.

"I'm not sure about this, but I heard from my father that many years ago, a fire burned the Taoist temple to the ground, and even half of Phoenix Ridge was burned."

"What?" Shen Siyuan was a little confused.

Judging from the old lady’s age, she is at least in her fifties, and her father is at least in his seventies or eighties. This means that Chaotian Temple must have been burned down at least seventy or eighty years ago.

But the time that Lin Jianming and his wife took shelter in Chaotian Temple was definitely no more than fifty years.

There is something strange about this Chaotian Temple.

So regardless of whether the Chaotian Temple had been abandoned, Shen Siyuan decided to go and take a look.

"Auntie, from going up the mountain here, can we go down the mountain from the west?"

Their current location is at the eastern entrance of Phoenix Ridge.

"You want to go to Chaotian Temple? Then I advise you to go down the mountain, call a car, go around to the west, and go up from the west, because there is only one small path going down the mountain, it is very difficult and dangerous..."

As she spoke, she glanced at Ruan Hongzhuang on Shen Siyuan's back.

"It's such a hassle, forget it, I won't go then, thank you, Auntie."

Shen Siyuan thanked him.

Seeing that Shen Siyuan chose to give up directly, the old lady didn't say anything more and continued to do her work.

Shen Siyuan carried Ruan Hongzhuang on his back and continued up the mountain. "Do you want to go down from the top of the mountain to the west slope?"

"Correct."

"But the old lady said the road there is very difficult to travel."

"It's okay. It may be difficult for ordinary people to walk, but it should be no problem for me."

Seeing Shen Siyuan say this, Ruan Hongzhuang stopped talking.

After thinking for a while, he said, "How about you put me down and I'll wait for you here."

"Why, don't you want to come with me?"

"I'm afraid of being a burden to you."

Shen Siyuan chuckled.

Ruan Hongzhuang knew that Shen Siyuan was very powerful, but she never had a direct understanding of him.

But today she finally understood that her boyfriend might have gone beyond the scope of human beings.

Phoenix Ridge is not very steep, but there are still many man-made plank roads.

These plank roads are narrow and steep, and most people climb up carefully, holding on to the iron chains on both sides.

Shen Siyuan just tapped his toes lightly, as if walking on flat ground, seemingly without any effort at all.

However, it made Ruan Hongzhuang, who was lying on his back, frightened. Sometimes she almost couldn't help screaming, and her arms subconsciously hugged him tighter.

But Shen Siyuan was always calm and easy every time, and Ruan Hongzhuang gradually calmed down and even felt a little excited.

Then she realized that she didn't feel any bumps at all while lying on Shen Siyuan's back.

Moreover, Shen Siyuan didn't sweat at all during the walk, and his whole body was still as refreshed as when he came. On the contrary, she was carried on his back without taking a step, and there was a little sweat on her temples.

In this way, they soon reached the top of Phoenix Ridge.

"Let's just rest here for a while."

Shen Siyuan put Ruan Hongzhuang down. It was obvious that he didn't need to rest himself, but wanted Ruan Hongzhuang, who hadn't taken a step, to rest for a while.

"What's wrong? Why do you look unhappy?" Shen Siyuan asked curiously.

Just now he was wondering why Ruan Hongzhuang, who had been talking in his ear all the way, suddenly became silent in the second half of the journey.

"I... I suddenly feel that I may... may not be worthy of you." Ruan Hongzhuang said.

Shen Siyuan was so powerful that she felt a little inferior to him.

Shen Siyuan chuckled when he heard this, and then asked, "Then what kind of person do you think is worthy of me?"

"A female man who is eight feet tall and has a waist of eight feet?" Shen Siyuan asked back.

"But even so, they are still not strong enough for me. If I follow this standard, I will most likely end up living alone until the end of my life."

Upon hearing this, Ruan Hongzhuang finally smiled.

"So, stop imagining it."

Shen Siyuan reached out and gently pinched her cheek, feeling the smoothness of his fingertips.

Ruan Hongzhuang reached out her hand coquettishly and slapped his hand away.

At this moment, two gusts of cold wind suddenly blew from the top of the mountain and circled around them.

"Are Doudou and Xiaoyue back?" Ruan Hongzhuang asked curiously.

Shen Siyuan nodded, then gave some instructions to the two little ones, and soon they flew towards the foot of the west slope.

"Let's go, let's follow them." Shen Siyuan extended his hand to Ruan Hongzhuang.

Ruan Hongzhuang stopped being pretentious and was directly held in Shen Siyuan's arms, but her posture was a bit indecent.

She put her arms around Shen Siyuan's neck, clamped her long legs around his waist, and her hips were firmly supported by a pair of big hands. The two of them were tightly pressed together.

This made Ruan Hongzhuang feel a little strange, and she couldn't help but think about the absurdity of last night, but soon all these distracting thoughts disappeared.

Because she only saw the rocks and trees on both sides rapidly receding in front of her eyes, and the wind whistling in her ears, it was really scary and exciting.

When coming up from Dongpo, there were still some sparse tourists around, so Shen Siyuan was more restrained.

The path down the west slope is rarely visited by people, with not a single person in sight.

The main reason is that the road is too steep. It is impossible to tell where the road is. Not only is it overgrown with weeds, but many places are also covered with moss, making it impossible for people to walk.

So Shen Siyuan no longer had any concerns and galloped through the mountains holding Ruan Hongzhuang in his arms.

So they soon came to a deserted Taoist temple.
