After a peaceful night's sleep, as the next day dawned, Lorraine Hill also woke up from his sleep.
In that dream that seemed to be real, she seemed to be living in a forest, a forest of fiery red maple leaves. Occasionally she would sit under the shade of the trees to enjoy the cool air and look at the bright moon in the sky.
Unfortunately, this world is different from before. There is no moon and it is extremely dark at night.
I heard from Uncle Baiqiu that there seemed to be a moon in the past, but it was a pity that the moon was shattered during the natural disaster a few years ago.
Wow, it's really sad. Why does the moon break? It's obviously very beautiful.
The girl shook her head, not thinking about this for the time being. She sat in front of the bronze mirror and began to adjust her hair and clothes. Only then could she clearly see her whole face.
It seems to be exactly the same as before? Lorraine Hill sighed secretly in his heart, but felt that something was wrong.
Well, it's hair color and eyes.
Her hair color and eyes were the same as in her previous life, turning black. Is this considered to be following the original intention of the soul's memory? Such a thought suddenly came to mind.
After taking care of her clothes, she walked down the stairs.
As the footsteps gradually approached the first floor, the sounds of cooking, walking and talking in the yard, and the sounds of dogs barking and chickens crowing slowly became clearer.
Squeak——
After opening the door, a smell of grass mixed with the aroma of steamed rice floated into the nose.
"You're awake." An eleven or twelve-year-old girl looked at Lorraine Hill with clear eyes.
"Sister Bai told me yesterday that you will live up there. My name is Xiangfu (dǎn)." This little girl seemed to be a familiar person. She was also the sister of yesterday's groom.
"Would you like to wash your face and come with me?" After saying that, she walked quickly ahead to lead the way.
Lorraine Hill followed behind, turned a short distance, and came to the foot of a large pine tree. There were several large bluestones here, and a large vat on the stone platform.
The little girl directly scooped out a ladle of water with a gourd ladle, then took out a piece of clean cotton cloth from a nearby room and put it into the ladle.
"Use this one, it's cleaner. Dad said to use brand new things for the guests." She took a few steps back and looked at Lorraine Hill.
"Thank you." Lorraine Hill picked up the cotton cloth and wrung it dry, and then scrubbed it briefly, first his face, then his wrists and arms. After washing, he washed the cotton cloth, wrung it dry again, and poured out the water.
Seeing her skillful appearance, the little girl seemed very curious in her eyes.
"You are different from those young ladies. You look like you grew up in the mountains."
Then she explained: "I see that when they wash their faces, they always lose a lot of powder and the water becomes muddy."
"But some powders are really beautiful, and I'm very envious of them."
After washing her face, she walked forward with Lorraine Hill. During the process, she occasionally met a few friends of the same age, and she would stop them and ask them.
"Where are you going, Zuotou?" A boy in green linen clothes was called.
"You don't have to worry about it." He raised his head and prepared to avoid Xiangxiang. But suddenly he saw Lorraine Hill in front of him. He was stunned for a moment and was caught by the little girl.
"Let go, or I'll tell Sister Bai Zao that you bullied me again." After a long time, he naturally knew how to deal with this domineering guy.
"Huh, it's only for these two days. When Sister Bai Zao's marriage is over, I will teach you a lesson." Xiang Fu threw down the little boy's arm, and then said harsh words.
She still knows how to be ashamed. If she gets into trouble in front of the many guests in the courtyard, she will be the one who loses face.
"Huhu, I'm not afraid. In a few days, my brother will be back from Zhushan Courtyard. He will help me when I fall down." The little boy made a face and ran away quickly.
"What's so great? Sister Bai taught in Chixian for two years." The little girl replied angrily.
Seeing the two children arguing with each other, Lorraine Hill felt a burst of laughter.
This was basically the case when I was a child. Sometimes I was very timid, but I was also very face-saving. If I had a powerful brother or sister, I would want to talk about it every day and brag to my friends around me, and then I would gain a lot of face for nothing (
envious eyes).
On the way back to the courtyard, Lorraine Hill curiously asked what the 'Zhushan Yuan' and 'Red Immortal Sect' they were talking about were.
"There are many powerful people there." The little girl's eyes seemed to be shining.
"Many scholars in the Zhushan Academy are scholars. They study poetry, classics, and history, and will take exams to gain fame. In addition, the Green Bamboo Sword Technique, Dongxiao Haihui Song, and Bamboo Transformation Techniques taught in the academy are also very powerful."
"The Scarlet Immortal Sect is a major sect in Heishui Continent. It also has a branch in our Minze Continent. The people in the sect are proficient in the art of poisonous insects. I don't know how to describe it specifically. Anyway, it is very powerful, even more powerful than Zhushan Academy." The little girl said.
So explained.
Lorraine Hill nodded slightly, but thought in his heart that he would have to ask Bai Zao later.
When the two of them returned to the courtyard, breakfast also started. After finishing breakfast with a few guests who stayed overnight, Lorraine Hill first met and talked with Yu Baichou.
"Ms. Lan, let's take a walk here first. I'll go to the village and ask if I can buy some things I'll use later."
"Then it will be troublesome for uncle."
Seeing Yu Baiqiu, he walked towards the middle of the village for the time being, while Lorraine Hill returned to where he lived and asked Bai Zao about the outside world.
"Giggle, I heard Xiang Zhen talking nonsense again." After knowing the purpose of Lorraine Hill's visit, Bai Zao smiled and then talked about the outside world.
"Zhushan Academy is a place where scholars from Honshu gather. Although it is far inferior to the famous large academies in central China, it is still a good place for us. Their group has a small secret Taoyuan, in which there are several emerald green bamboos.
You can take it out and use it to make swords."
"This emerald green bamboo sword is light, fast, and has the effect of repelling poison. It is particularly useful in Minze, where snakes and insects are rampant, and it is the envy of many people."
"The Red Immortal Sect has a bigger origin. It was founded by an immortal who climbed the nine-story ladder a thousand years ago. It is said that this immortal was barefoot and wearing a red skirt. He held a bloody peach wood sword and killed poisonous insects in thousands of miles of mountains.
He surrendered the giant python in the middle of the lake and later established a sect beside a clear pool of clear water."
"This sect is mostly women, but there are also men. They mostly practice Hidden Dragon and Demon Heart. They are good at using snakes and insects. They are good at poison techniques. Their moves are cruel but ruthless."
"Their headquarters is in Heishui Continent, but in fact they have branches in the seven continents of Gualei. I also studied in the branch in Minze Continent for a period of time, and I am considered an outer disciple."
"It's a pity that a few years ago, the world changed drastically, and my cultivation returned to the original point. Later, I found it difficult to make progress many times, so I just came back and got married." Bai Zao said with a smile.
"I have reached the third level before, but I am only at the second level. I have not used some things for several years and have forgotten a lot."
After finishing speaking, she simply rolled up her sleeves, revealing her white wrists. With the slight flow of energy, the blood vessels connecting her wrists to the back of her hands glowed green.
This green color formed a coquettish pattern, like a spider, covering the back of her hand. As she moved a little higher in the air, a hidden light flashed through, and a small hole with green smoke appeared on the wooden pier in the distance.
There appear to be slight signs of corrosion on the edges.
"Now that I know it, it's just the Green Spider Technique."
