Chapter 5133

The next morning. When Zilian Villa was still shrouded in a thin layer of white mist. Maria, who had not put on makeup, tied her long hair into a ponytail and put on an unremarkable summer dress and headed to Tiger Mountain alone. Both Larry and Keagan suggested that bodyguards should go with her to ensure her safety, but were rejected by Maria. She has decided to live in the city and since she has decided to study in Aurous Hills she must live in this city with confidence and boldness from now on. A lone girl, even if she looks more beautiful, will only attract attention, not suspicion. But once the girl is accompanied by bodyguards, or secretly followed, once someone sees it, it will inevitably arouse suspicion. Seeing her resolute attitude, the two of them didn’t insist anymore. After Maria went down the mountain, she didn’t choose to take a taxi. She checked the route on her mobile phone last night. From the north of Zilian Mountain, there is a direct bus to Tiger Mountain. The journey takes about 30 minutes. Not much, this time she decided to stabilize in Aurous Hills for a period of time, so she simply came to fully integrate. Half an hour later, Maria got off the bus at the Bus Station in the mountains and walked to the entrance of the Temple. This was Maria’s first visit to Tiger Mountain, but she had heard from her father when she was very young that the ancestors of the Clark family were buried in Tiger Mountain. More than 600 years ago, when Lord Ming established the Ming Dynasty and Aurous Hills as the capital, the ancestors of the Clark family were officials in Aurous Hills.

After the Battle of China, King Yan succeeded to the throne and decided to move the capital, so the Clark family was also ordered to prepare to move the family north with the dynasty. However, the ancestors of the Clark family died of illness on the eve of moving to the capital due to their advanced age. When explaining the funeral, Old Clark specified that he would be buried with his wife, who had been buried in Tiger Mountain for ten years, so his descendants buried him in the same place on Tiger Mountain. According to the genealogy records, on the second day after the ancestors of the Clark family were buried, the descendants of the Clark family went north with their whole family. Since then, until Maria came back, for six hundred years, the descendants of the Clark family have never been able to return to Aurous Hills to settle down. There is no Clark family buried here and only the ancestors are left. Maria hiked up the mountain and searched around the mountain, but she did not see any graves or tombstones. After hundreds of years, she has no way of knowing where her ancestor’s graves are located. After all, it has been a long time, even just exposure to the sun and rain is enough to make the graves and markers disappear. Therefore, in her mind, Tiger Mountain as a whole is the tomb of her ancestors. In her handy canvas bag, she put some high-quality incense sticks. Originally, she wanted to find a secluded place on the mountain to remember her ancestors, but she didn’t expect that there were warning signs prohibiting open flames everywhere on the mountain and there were surveillance cameras everywhere. With the video surveillance Maria knew that if she burned incense and worshiped, she would not only be at risk of starting a fire but also at risk of being arrested. Thinking of this, she decided to go to the Temple on the middle peak of the Mountain to burn incense and worship. Although it is a temple, after all, her ancestors were buried here and burning incense there is also regarded as worshiping ancestors.
