Chapter 45: Burning Mountain’s Immortal Trace

The high-rise buildings by the roadside gradually became sparse. The scenery in front of them was replaced by rolling mountains and electric windmills, which meant that they were about to leave the city.

Or perhaps he was getting closer and closer to his hometown. Big Head Yang was a little excited and afraid.

“Su Yun, am I the first university student to return home after not doing well outside?”

“What nonsense are you spouting? This is called returning to your hometown to develop a new village. Going back to the 70s and 80s, you would be considered an educated youth!”

Su Yun could tell that Big Head Yang was a little uneasy, so he comforted him.

Su Yun’s words carried a lot of weight. After looking at the problem from another angle, Big Head Yang felt much better.

He turned back into the humorous fatty that had endless things to say.

Because the mountain road was far, although it was only 70 kilometers, the journey was nearly four hours. Along the way, the driver also joined in the conversation.

Just like that, the rugged mountain path no longer looked so dead.

As dusk approached, the two of them finally arrived at Gazi Groove.

This was a small village located at the foot of the Burning Mountain. The population of the village was not high, and most of the young people entered the city like Big Head Yang.

Only during the new year would the village become more lively.

Big Head Yang was the first to get out of the car. He entered the house and greeted his grandmother, who was alone at home, before coming over to help move the things.

Su Yun did not forget his manners. He greeted Granny Yang and put down the gifts he had brought before following to move the things.

The two of them and the driver worked for a long time before getting out of the car.

Su Yun paid the fare and the driver set off alone.

Big Head Yang carried the things home one by one and exchanged pleasantries with his grandmother.

Su Yun stood alone in the courtyard with his back facing the setting sun. He looked at the vast and mysterious mountain range in the distance and immediately felt a sense of loneliness. He could not help but miss his parents. “When I have some gains, I should go home to see my parents.”

Su Yun made up his mind. He planned to take some time to go home to take a look after the cultivation in the mountains.

Today, Su Yun had taken leave from the live-stream platform and explained that he was preparing for an outdoor livestream. Therefore, most of the fans expressed their understanding and looked forward to his outdoor livestream.

“Su Yun, I’ll help you tidy up your room first. The countryside is a little simple. Please bear with me.”

Big Head Yang suddenly walked out of the old tile and soil housw and said with some shame.

Su Yun smiled and said, “Don’t say that. I’m also a village child. I’m used to this environment since I was young. Instead, I have to thank you for bringing me to feel the clear air.”

Big Head Yang couldn’t say anything. He nodded and returned to his room to work.

Su Yun looked at the Burning Mountain Range at the end of the field again.

The undulating Burning Mountain was like a dormant green dragon. The setting sun shone on the dragon’s body from the corner of its eye, giving it an additional holy aura.

“Let’s go into the mountains tomorrow! We can’t delay.”

Su Yun muttered and walked around. He looked around.

When it was close to dinnertime, many farmers in the village began to pack up and go home.

“Zixin, your grandma is calling you home for dinner!”

“Zixuan, your grandfather also asked you to go home!”

Some children who were running happily were also called home by their elders. It was obvious that they were the children of parents who were born after 1990.

Gradually, the sky darkened.

The last ray of sunset was also covered by the dragon body of the distant mountain range.

Only the pitch-black fields in the mountains were left.

Occasionally, a few old dogs would bark crazily, adding some vitality to the calm night.

There were no cars, no neon lights, and no noisy street vendors.

Everything returned to its original state.

Gradually, Su Yun felt as if he had touched an opportunity.

It was the supernatural state!

Unfortunately, it was only a wisp of opportunity. Su Yun did not enter that strange state again..

Today, more than a month had passed. From the time Su Yun practiced throwing cards until now, he had entered the supernatural state twice in a short few days. After that, he had no more comprehension.

However,

Su Yun still felt a trace of enlightenment when he was completely silent just now.

Everything around him seemed to be happening clearly in front of his eyes.

Although he had finally entered the supernatural state, Su Yun still carefully comprehended the mystery. Finally, he let out a long breath.

He felt much clearer.

“No wonder some cultivators like to go to the fields in the mountains to comprehend life. It turns out that they are indeed more clear-headed in a natural environment away from the smoke and dust.”

“Looks like I made the right choice to come this time. Just by observing the sunset and the moon rise, I have the opportunity to touch the extraordinary state.”

Su Yun had a deep understanding in his heart. He was even more confident that he would definitely succeed in this Burning Mountain Trial.

He exhaled a mouthful of turbid air and took a deep breath of clear fresh air. His entire body trembled from his feet to his head.

As if replacing the aura in his body, Su Yun felt very comfortable.

Only when Big Head Yang’s voice sounded did Su Yun come back to his senses.

“Su Yun, it’s time to eat. I’ll let you try my grandmother’s braised pork. It’s so delicious!”

“Alright, I’m coming!”

Su Yun turned around and entered the room.

There were four dishes and a soup on the simple wooden square table. It was very sumptuous.

It was not as good-looking as the so-called big hotels, but one look was enough to make one’s appetite increase.

In the new era, especially in the mountain villages near towns, they were not too poor. Their economic conditions were not bad.

At this moment, Big Head Yang looked at Su Yun curiously. However, he vaguely felt that the aura Su Yun exuded seemed to be a little different.

Big Head Yang was a little puzzled. He scratched his head and asked, “Su Yun, why do I feel that you suddenly have an indescribable temperament?”

Su Yun picked up his bowl and chopsticks and was stunned. “Huh? What temperament?”

Big Head Yang scratched his head and thought for a moment. He really could not figure it out, so he waved his hand and said, “Sigh! I can’t say. Anyway, I feel that after you came to the mountain, you’re different. How should I put it… Well, I just feel that you’re very ethereal. Your personality is even more indifferent than usual… Forget it, I can’t say. Let’s eat!”

After being told off by Big Head Yang, Su Yun only hesitated for a moment before roughly understanding the reason. It should be because he had just touched a trace of the supernatural state.

Su Yun shook his head and smiled. His attention fell on the delicious food.

Big Head Yang’s grandmother was always alone at home. He was very happy that there was some liveliness in the house. Moreover, like Big Head Yang, she also felt that Su Yun’s temperament was special. I-le gave off a calm, amiable feeling that made people feel comfortable and calm. Therefore, she chatted happily with Su Yun.

Su Yun did not hold back and ate heartily.

After eating three big bowls of rice, he put down his bowl and chopsticks in satisfaction.

At night, Su Yun and Big Head Yang slept in the same room. Su Yun briefly taught Big Head Yang how to operate the Sharkfight platform.

Then, he taught him to register an account step by step.

Su Yun then said, “It’s best if your name is related to the content of your livestream. It has to be easy to understand and remember.”

Big Head Yang nodded, then shook his head. “I know, but I still don’t know what I should stream.”

“There’s no hurry. Let’s go out for a walk tomorrow. We must make use of our advantages.”

“Alright, tomorrow I’ll bring you into the Burning Mountain to take a look. The mountains are more fun.”

“Okay, rest early.”

The next morning.

The two of them woke up to Granny Yang’s shout. It was only five in the morning.

“Eh? It’s so early. Grandma, let’s sleep a little longer…” Big Head Yang replied to Grandma Yang in a half-awake state.

“Young people nowadays really can’t get up in the morning and can’t sleep at night,” Grandma Yang muttered and ignored the two of them.

At seven o’clock, Grandma Yang woke the two of them up for breakfast again. only tnen did su Yun and Big Head Yang slowly get up.

After breakfast, the sky began to brighten.

It started drizzling last night.

Until now, there were still raindrops as thin as ox hair falling. When they hit his face, they were slightly moist, but he did not feel uncomfortable. Coupled with the distant mountain range, it was really ‘the blue sky waiting for the misty rain”.

Granny Yang carefully took two coats that had been sealed for a long time but were in good condition for the two of them to wear.

Although it made them look a little bloated, it was warm.

Su Yun did not care about his image anymore and put it on.

Su Yun asked Big Head Yang to get ready. The two of them left with the equipment and a box of cards.

Grandma Yang reminded them again and the two of them promised to come back at dinner time before leaving.

After leaving the house, the two of them walked on the muddy mountain road.

Big Head Yang glanced at the misty Burning Mountain. “Su Yun, how are you going to livestream in the mountains? Aren’t you a card thrower?”

Su Yun also looked up at the Burning Mountain. He only felt the majesty of the Burning Mountain when he arrived at the foot of the mountain.

“The audience has been staying in the reinforced jungle for a long time and yearns for life in the mountains. This will be a great help to our livestream..”
