"I...did I say something wrong?" Seeing that they were all silent, Tuantuan felt a little uneasy in his heart.
Fu Yunchen waved to him, "Come here."
They walked over and said, "Dad."
Fu Yunchen took him into his arms and said, "It's okay, your mother will wake up."
"When will you wake up? I miss my mother." Tuantuan leaned in Fu Yunchen's arms, her eyes full of longing.
Zhuang Zhuang looked at Tuan Tuan clinging to Fu Yunchen wantonly, and wanted to get closer, but he knew that Fu Yunchen didn't like him, so he stood still silently.
Huanhuan patted his little shoulder and said, "Come here, sister, give me a hug."
"Sister, what does the lotus seed soup made by the Queen Mother taste like?" Zhuang Zhuang asked.
Huanhuan replied: "There are also some fruit honey beans and the like in it, which are sweet and fragrant."
Suddenly, there was a loud eagle call in the sky.
Fu Yunchen raised his head and whistled.
Huihui swooped down from the sky.
It fell in front of Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen looked at Hui Hui. Hui Hui was now almost taller than him. With one wing spread out, he was more than ten feet away.
"You have really grown into a monster."
Hui Hui let out an eagle chirp and flapped his wings a few more times, and suddenly a huge wave of wind hit Fu Yunchen and the three children head-on.
Fortunately for Fu Yunchen, all three children staggered around. Especially Zhuang Zhuang, he rolled on the ground.
He grabbed Zhuang Zhuang, held him in his arms, and shouted to Hui Hui: "Stop."
Huihui immediately stopped fanning.
Another female eagle descended from the sky and landed next to Hui Hui, looking particularly petite. Fu Yunchen recognized it as the female eagle that often followed Hui Hui before.
"Are you two still together?" Fu Yunchen asked Huihui.
Huihui nodded at him and let out another happy chirp.
Fu Yunchen looked at the size difference between the two of them and couldn't imagine how the two eagles could be together.
Maybe...just company is enough.
Hui Hui fluttered its wings and flew into the sky again, and the female eagle followed it.
"Dad, Huihui is so big." Huanhuan looked at Huihui and the female eagle, and gradually disappeared behind a white cloud.
"It's not an ordinary eagle." Fu Yunchen said, "It has the blood of a mountain beast."
Speaking of mountain beasts, Fu Yunchen thought...
Zhuangzhuang put down his arms and said to Huanhuan and Tuantuan: "Dad, go to Chongyang Mountain."
"Oh." Huanhuan said a little reluctantly, "Then when will daddy come back?"
"I'll be back as soon as I finish my work. It shouldn't take long."
…
Fu Yunchen sent the three children back to the palace, handed them over to Yun Ru, and then rode to Chongyang Mountain.
When he was leaving, Yun Ruji told him, "If you can see the mountain god, that's enough. If you can't, don't disobey him."
"I know." Fu Yunchen rode away.
Yun Ruji sighed and looked at Fu Yunchen's back, "This child is so much like his mother. He will do anything for the one he loves, and he will go out in a hurry."
After Fu Yunchen rode for an hour and a half, he arrived at the foot of Chongyang Mountain. He looked up at the lush Chongyang Mountain and got off his horse.
Leaving the horse to graze and rest, he hiked up the mountain.
He kept walking, following the rich scent of life in Chongyang Mountain Forest, and the richest and thickest place should be where the mountain god is.
After an unknown amount of time, a lake as calm as a mirror appeared in his eyes.
There was a man fishing sitting by the lake. He seemed to know that Fu Yunchen was coming, and he had prepared a fishing rod and a futon beside him.
Fu Yunchen walked over and bowed respectfully, "I've taken the liberty of visiting and ask the mountain god to forgive me."
"I have nothing to do every day, so sit down." The mountain god glanced at him and motioned for him to do some fishing on the futon.
"Thank you, Lord Mountain God." Fu Yunchen looked at the futon, which was the same as the one in the mountain temple.
After sitting down, I picked up the fishing rod and found that there was no hook. I didn't mind and waited quietly.
The mountain god said: "If you have nothing to do, please go to the Three Treasures Hall and tell me."
Fu Yunchen replied: "I do have something to ask, so I'll tell you frankly."
The mountain god responded, "Yes."
"My wife is Mu Run, the queen of Chongming Kingdom. When she gave birth to her infant son five years ago, she was kidnapped by the Corpse King, causing her soul to fly away from her body. I want to find her. Is there any way I can do it?"
"I see that your soul has left the body more than once." The mountain god looked at Fu Yunchen.
"Five times, passed the Yuanqiao."
"Yuanqiao... the spiritual treasure of the Witch Clan. Since there is such a treasure, you should be able to find her, right?"
"I have been to the same continent, Zhenda, for five years, but I only had seven days each time. Before I could find her, I would come back. Every time I came back, I had to wait for a year."
"We must find her, even if we give up everything here, doesn't it matter?" the mountain god asked.
Fu Yunchen hesitated. He also has three children.
The mountain god seemed to notice his concerns and continued: "You can't have your cake and eat it too."
"What if I could give up everything here?"
"I will give you a soul puppet so that you can stay there for a long time. After seven days, the soul puppet will come back for you. But your original soul may never come back."
"What is a soul puppet? Is it a real soul?" Fu Yunchen asked.
The mountain god replied: "Of course not. It's just a spirit capsule with a trace of your soul printed on it."
As he spoke, a ball of golden spiritual light appeared in his hand. The light dispersed, and an egg-shaped transparent spiritual sac appeared in the mountain god's hand.
The fishing rod in Fu Yunchen's hand trembled and he almost let go.
"Give it to you." The mountain god used his spiritual power to drive the spirit bag and flew to Fu Yunchen.
Fu Yunchen hurriedly caught it and said, "Thank you, Lord Mountain God."
The mountain god raised his hand and yawned, "Let's go."
"Yes, excuse me." Fu Yunchen bowed and saluted, then took two steps and turned around to leave.
The mountain god added: "Actually, this spirit bag can also contain souls. If you find her, you can also enter the spirit bag with her and come back through the Yuanqiao."
Fu Yunchen's eyes suddenly showed surprise.
In fact, even if he passed the Yuanqiao and really found Mu Run, he still wouldn't know how to bring her back. The only soul that could pass the Yuanqiao was him.
But with the spirit capsule, it will be easier to find her soul!
After thanking the mountain god again, Fu Yunchen left.
The mountain god picked up the fishing rod that Fu Yunchen had thrown aside and lifted the fishing line... There was a golden carp that had bitten the rope on it!
“Good luck!”
…
The next year, Fu Yunchen and Mu Run lay together again.
Yun Ruji helped him tidy up his clothes and said, "Auntie, I'm waiting for you to come back."
Long Xuan stood next to Yun Ruji, looking a little ugly, "The last time!"
Fu Yunchen smiled at him and said, "Take good care of my aunt and your nieces and nephews. I will bring her back with me."
"..." Long Xuan's eyes were sore, and he hurriedly walked over and held his hand, "Brother, take care."
"Thank you." Fu Yunchen closed his eyes, with a warm smile on his lips.
Long Xuan was a little curious, "Auntie, my brother seems to be very sure this time."
