Three days have passed since Lorraine Hill returned that day. During these three days, representatives from other parties who came to visit gradually left, and in the end only the members of the Four Lines of Quanbo remained.
The bright sunshine shines through the leaves and onto the attics and houses below. Only the morning dew remains on the agarwood fence, slowly rolling over it and then dripping into the green branches, leaves and flowers below.
The wooden loft was built under the shade of the trees on the mountainside. It was very quiet. There was no one on the plank road and corridor. A few strange birdsong occasionally came from the leaves and branches above the head, and then disappeared without a trace.
In this quiet pavilion and pavilion, a creaking door broke the tranquility. A girl wearing a white gauze opened the door, brushed her fingers through the dewdrops on the corridor, and then walked out to the forest plank road outside.
This is where Lorraine Hill lived after she came back. Although the small courtyard where she lived before is still there, it has not been cleaned for a long time, and there are many other courtyard residences of the same family not far away. It is not suitable for her to continue to live now.
So Sumireka arranged for her to come here.
This pavilion is located at the foot of the cliff halfway up the back mountain. Standing on this pavilion, you can overlook the lush canyon below, which is covered with vegetation. There are even a few extraordinary flowers and trees in it. The mountain forest is very quiet, as long as the occasional bird
Flying through the canyon.
Walk out of this wooden building, follow the wooden plank road around the mountainside, and pass through the ropeways and pavilions between several peaks. You will find the lecture hall where seniors or elders in the general sect will impart knowledge.
The academy is very large, with many sub-halls, and there is an open space in the middle that can be used for competitions and drills.
It was already approaching noon, and many disciples had finished their morning classes and began to disperse. Some were talking to other disciples who came to visit, some were returning to their residences, and some were in the open space in the middle square.
We competed internally and exchanged some skills and experiences.
When Lorraine Hill walked into the square, disciples of the Xiangyu Sect greeted him one after another and moved out of the way.
"Hello, Senior Sister Luolan."
"Uncle Master."
Lorraine Hill looked at the disciples who gathered around them and nodded kindly. Occasionally, when he heard those few words of "Master's Uncle", he felt a new and different feeling in his heart.
Are you already a senior uncle? It seems so. Senior Sister Sumirehua and myself are already the highest seniority in the sect. Later, the new disciples will all be apprenticed to senior brothers and sisters of the same generation, so they are called senior uncles.
, seems to be normal.
Although it is normal, I still feel that I have taken advantage of many people, especially the tall and powerful fellow student in front of me.
A strong man, more than two meters tall, stood on the side of the road. Although he had tried his best to lower his head, it was as if he was looking directly at the frail leader.
"Okay, don't be so formal. You can go about your own business first."
Lorraine Hill waved his hand, and the surrounding disciples of the Xiangyu Sect dispersed one by one. However, many people still looked at the young acting leader from a distance with curiosity and admiration.
Along the way, after returning gifts and greetings to countless people, Lorraine Hill finally reached the yellow palace on the top of the mountain.
After passing through the long hall, Lorraine Hill came to a high attic in the back hall. At this time, the two twin sisters guarding the door also nodded to her and said hello. It was Si Heng and Si Xuan who took action that day.
"Junior sister Luolan is here." They actually started school earlier than Luolan Hill, and are only a few years younger than Sumirehua.
"Hello, Senior Sisters. Is Senior Sister Jinhua inside?" Lorraine Hill asked.
"Yes, I just wanted to see you." The two responded with a smile, and then opened the door on the side.
Sumireka, who was dressed in formal attire, was kneeling on a futon, and in front of her was a huge painting of withered wood, in which there were dots of blooming chrysanthemum trees, and the immortal giving lectures under the tree, who was the ancestor of the sect.
Incense-burning fairy red toon.
There is an exquisite green pomelo-copper triangular incense burner in the corner of the room, from which the silky ton leaf incense comes.
It turned out that this was how the fragrance of Senior Sister Jinhua came from. Lorraine Hill blinked his eyes with interest, and then walked behind Jinhua.
"I am coming."
"Loland, wake up." Although it was a normal greeting, Lorraine Hill felt a little embarrassed. Could it be that Senior Sister Sumirehua was saying that she was a little lazy and got up too late.
Fortunately, Sumirehua turned around as she spoke, and with a smile, she led Lorraine Hill to sit on the bed beside her.
"Are you still used to living there? Isn't it too quiet that I can't sleep well?"
"I used to like quiet places, but then I got used to the hustle and bustle of my classmates. If I sleep in a place that is too quiet, I will feel a little uncomfortable."
Lorraine Hill gently wrapped his fingers around the hair in front of him, shook his head slightly and replied: "I'm fine, I just spent some time organizing things last night and slept late."
In fact, it wasn't just that it was late, she saw the window next to her unknowingly lit up, and then she thought it was time to go to bed.
"What did Lorraine do?" Jinhua turned her head and looked at Lorraine Hill, her hair tilted and a little fell from her shoulders.
"It's about the experience of practicing the Dragon Sequence, uh, the Qianlong lineage." Lorraine Hill suddenly felt a little ashamed. He obviously had related training methods in his own family, but he still chose the Yuyan Red Ray Sect method as his training method.
Evolve and deduce based on the foundation.
This is not to say that the Dragon Sequence within the Xianyu Sect is not strong, you can tell by looking at how powerful Senior Brother Gu Lie is, but the style is always biased towards transforming into a dragon and strengthening the body and body, which is not in the same direction as what Lorraine Hill needs.
Same.
When it comes to regulating dragon veins, the Yuyan Red Ray Sect is more powerful. After all, it is the sect inherited from Chifeng.
After hearing the girl's explanation, Sumireka smiled and told Lorraine Hill not to mind.
"It's not surprising. After all, our Xiangyu sect is on the Qianlong sect, and our major is dragon transformation. We don't have many inheritances related to dragon sacrifice."
"The Hidden Dragon, which is the order of dragons in the West, is divided into many branches. Luolan chose to sacrifice the dragon, which is indeed more useful." She sighed slightly.
"Our Xiangyu sect actually has a way to regulate dragon veins, but it's not based on the Qianlong method, but on the Jietian Dao (magic sequence)."
"Relying on the arrangement of magic formations that match the dragon veins to restrain or sort out the dragon veins in various places. This was the mission of my faction in the early days of the dynasty. For this purpose, the 'Incense Star Observation Mansion' was specially set up." She explained.
Because of the relationship between Dorothy and Suqin, the Xiangyu sect was also very close to the Red Phoenix lineage in the early days of the dynasty, and participated in many major events, such as the sorting out of dragon veins in various places, and the construction of some dynasty institutions, so that later
Simply separate the Burning Incense Star Observation Mansion.
"If Luo Lan needs information or past records in this area, you can visit Fenxiang Star Observation Mansion. I believe they will be willing to borrow it."
Now that the people at Fenxiang Star Observation Mansion have not left, it would be very convenient for Lorraine Hill to ask.
After the two of them talked for a long time in the house, there was a knock on the door.
"Senior Sister Sumireka, it's time to eat." Unknowingly, it was already past noon outside.
After that, Jin Hua and Lorraine Hill walked out of the room, and together with Si Heng Sixuan, walked to the small building not far away, where she usually ate, and occasionally used to entertain familiar and close guests.
Although it is not very formal, it is small and warm and does not appear too empty.
After lunch, Lorraine Hill and Jin Hua took a walk among the trees in the palace buildings, talking about what happened over the years.
"Where did Luo Lan go after leaving Longquan Bay? I wanted to find someone to inquire about your whereabouts, but I didn't want to never receive the news."
"Is that possible... I encountered a very special monster on the road. Maybe it can't be called a monster." Lorraine Hill thought of the thunder sea snake that flew to the distant world. Even thinking about it now, he still feels that it is difficult to defeat.
.
After listening carefully to Lorraine Hill's account of what happened at sea, Sumireka's feelings of surprise, worry, relief, and curiosity kept changing.
"Later, when the West was completely settled, time passed without realizing it." Lorraine Hill felt the change of time. In the past, a year felt extremely long, but now it passes in the blink of an eye.
"Yeah, before I know it, these years have passed." Sumireka also missed the past time.
"I joined the Xiangyu Sect when I was very young, and several masters were still there at that time."
"Does Luo Lan know about my appointment as acting leader?" Jin Hua asked.
"Previous generation, I seem to have met Master Chiwu." Although he was said to be a master, Chiwu was actually away from home all year round and didn't have much time to teach her.
"Well, when you came, most of the masters were in bad health, so many of the lessons were actually passed on by other elders." Sumirehua explained slowly.
"Qing Yu, You Xin, and Chi Ling are the three great immortals from our previous generations, and they have all climbed up the nine-story ladder."
"Uncle Youxin passed away at Youcheng in Xuanyuan Continent. Uncle Chiling passed away due to the recurrence of an old injury. Finally, it was Qingyu who taught me. He was also Siheng Sixuan's teacher. He taught us many things, and
Train me so that I can gradually lead the Xianyu Sect and become the leader of this generation." Sumirehua recalled the past.
"The three masters and uncles have different personalities."
"Master Uncle Youxin is quite humorous and occasionally gives me some strange gadgets. Master Chiling is thin, but after transforming into a dragon, he is extraordinarily huge and violent. Master Qingyu is usually very kind, but sometimes
He will also be extremely cold and stern. I once saw Master make an elder of a big sect cry when he was being disciplined, and the other party apologized and admitted his mistake before letting him go."
"Actually, I wasn't ready for becoming the leader at the time, and I was quite uneasy." Sumirehua sat on the edge of the fence, combed the hair around her ears, and then elaborated.
"At that time, I had only been in the profession for three or four years. Master suddenly came to me and asked me if I wanted to be the leader. I didn't know what the leader meant at that time, because Master Qingyu always looked very idle.
"
"When I gradually accepted it later and looked at the past leaders recorded in the sect, I realized that I might be special, because the previous leaders were all very old and powerful monks, and some of them had turned into immortals (Sequence 9)
, the lowest one is also an eighth-level existence, and I was only at the fifth level at that time."
"Master said it doesn't matter, and then he gave me encouragement and praise, which made me rarely happy." Sumirehua said with a little nostalgic smile on her lips.
After that, Sumireka slowly talked about many things in the past, how she grew up, how she slowly took over things in the faction, etc.
"When I slowly became aware of it many years ago, most of the elders of Master's generation had passed away, and most of the remaining ones were no longer in charge."
"Five years ago, I had an argument with Gu Lie. After that, he angrily took away many disciples in the sect. At that time, I could only watch in vain and regretted it extremely."
"It was also from that time that I began to doubt whether I was suitable to be the leader. In the end, it wasn't until you came back that I suddenly breathed a sigh of relief."
"Perhaps because of Luo Lan's promise, many things have hope of being solved. I finally had a few nights of peace of mind in the past few days."
There was no special metaphor or teaching. Jin Hua and Lorraine Hill talked about various little things they had experienced and felt. It could be seen that she had accumulated a lot of backlog in these years, especially after Gu Lie left.
The emotions and problems have been relieved one by one now that Lorraine Hill has returned.
The two of them walked among the mountains of the Xiangyu Sect. As time passed, the sky gradually sank to the west, and faint stars appeared on the edge of the sky.
At this time, Jin Hua and Lorraine Hill were sitting on a stone beside a mountain road, looking at the world where the forests were dyed with golden afterglow. Their words gradually stopped and turned into silence.
The sound of insects slowly came to mind in the grass at my feet, and the slightly cool evening breeze slowly swept through the mountains.
"It's time to go back." Jin Hua stood up and before leaving, she looked at the setting sun for a long time.
"Thank you very much, Luo Lan, for today." The two of them were walking along the path in the dark purple forest, and Sumire Hua suddenly said softly.
"Huh?" Lorraine Hill turned his head, curious about what Sumirehua suddenly said.
"Perhaps I put pressure on myself. I haven't been like this for a long time since I became leader. I almost followed my heart and didn't want anyone else to walk in the mountains. Seeing the sunset today, I discovered that in fact, some places in the sect
, I haven’t passed by or played for a long time." Sumirehua stopped and closed her eyes slightly.
"Junior brother Gu Lie may be right. He said that I am always like this. I restrain my nature and make people angry. Hahaha~" She laughed again, but compared with before, it seemed more natural and harmonious.
A little more relaxed.
"Perhaps my personality is not suitable for doing such a thing. In addition, my own strength is limited, which makes people feel very sad and depressed."
"When Luo Lan becomes the leader in the future, he can't be like me. Just do whatever you want to do. If you think it's right, you must stick to it."
"Even if it brings risks and dangers to the sect, we must persevere."
"What everyone wants is actually not a person who is extremely protective but restrains many, but a leader who can lead everyone through mountains of swords and seas of fire and still seize the dazzling pearl."
"If you blindly give in, you will not only lose benefits, but also lose friends, family, and everything. When you cannot stick to yourself, no one will believe that you can stick to your beliefs or even more important things."
"Although I haven't reached this point, I have slowly come to realize this fact." There was a hint of vicissitudes in her voice.
"The rest of the Xianyu Sect will depend on you. Don't let me down, Luo Lan. Even though I am a senior sister, I will still cry."
The golden afterglow shone on Jinhua's face and hair. Looking at her beautiful appearance, Lorraine Hill imagined that Jinhua like this would also cry sometimes, but at this time, she clicked
He nodded and held Sumireka's hand.
"I won't make Senior Sister Sumirehua cry, I promised."
It was rare that she took the initiative to make a promise, and before she knew it, she no longer evaded such responsibilities and expectations. She was like a phoenix carrying countless people's expectations and prayers, slowly flying to the sky.
