Rebirth: He Decides to Lie Flat

Chapter 353 - 353 350 Finally Confirmed

?Chapter 353: Chapter 350 Finally Confirmed Chapter 353: Chapter 350 Finally Confirmed The maple tree known as the Marriage Tree was said to be a thousand years old, with a thick trunk and lush foliage. Every year, when all the maple leaves at the bottom of the mountain had fallen, it still stood at the mountaintop with a crown of red, remaining firm until the day the snow fell.

It was just so peculiar, the same every year.

The two rested for a while before continuing upwards.

The reason Hongbao Mountain was named such had nothing to do with the maple trees, actually, it was because there was a Red Treasure Pagoda not far from the summit.

As for why the mountain was covered with maple trees, legend had it that the Taoist Master who lived in the Red Treasure Pagoda, before becoming a Taoist, was abandoned by his childhood sweetheart and fiancée. In a fit of anger, he took up the monastic life. Not long after, he heard that his fiancée’s family had all been executed.

It was only then that he learned his fiancée knew her family was doomed and didn’t want to drag him down, so she resolutely broke off their engagement.

He dug up his fiancée’s body from the mass grave that very night, brought her to Hongbao Mountain, buried her at the summit, and planted a young maple tree beside her. Because his fiancée had loved the fiery red leaves and had “maple” in her name, he later filled the mountain with maple trees.

Later, some people said the maple tree at the mountaintop was the incarnation of his fiancée. The Taoist Master would sit cross-legged under the tree for two hours daily, the maple tree sheltering him from sun and rain, its leaves not falling all year round. But on the day the Taoist died, all the bright red leaves of the tree fell at once, and on that day, the first snow of winter also silently descended…

Of course, this was just a legend, its truth yet to be explored.

However, Mu Jiawen’s thought processes clearly differed from most, as she frowned at Jiang Yan, saying, “If this story is true, then the meaning behind this maple tree isn’t very good, because the lovers didn’t end up together.”
