After leaving the Ximu Mountains, Lorraine Hill did not return directly to the Xiangyu Sect, but went to Mushan Continent first.
Compared to the sunset mountains, the scenery here seems more special.
When Loland Hill flew over the undulating sunset mountains, rugged peaks stood on the ground. These peaks were not gentle undulating curves, but more like stone pillars inserted into the ground.
But compared to the barren sunset mountains in the past, the forests here are lush, and there are layers of lavender trees under the peaks, which is very beautiful.
A special kind of tree is spread all over Mushan Island. Its leaves are small and round, showing a lavender-like purple color. It exudes a unique light fragrance in the summer wind. Walking through the mottled purple shade of the trees gives you a comfortable and light feeling.
Then it came with the breeze.
In the shade of tall lavender trees, wide avenues lead in all directions, and occasionally you can see lively towns and markets hidden under the tall canopies. People speak kindly and live an idyllic life.
Lorraine Hill tapped the toe of her shoe on a clear pool of water, jumped up lightly, flew to the intertwined green and lavender branches and leaves above, and then walked through the shade of the tall trees.
In fact, except for those tall peaks, Mushanzhou should be regarded as a forest plain, with green and purple forest leaves on the ground.
My ears were filled with the chirping of insects and birds, the wind was blowing behind my hair, and one different landscape after another unfolded in my eyes.
There are clear ponds with bottoms visible, and pebbles underneath are visible one by one. There are deer foraging in the forest, raising their forked horns and chanting. There are small towns leaning on big trees, among which the white wood huts are smoking.
There were flocks of birds flying with her. They all had red beaks and blue wings, and their chests and abdomen were covered with white down. They were chirping curiously.
Accompanied by some innocent and curious birds, Lorraine Hill seemed to be one of them, roaming in the forest and witnessing this lively scene.
After some fun flying, Lorraine Hill unknowingly came to the residence of Ningzizhao Night Palace.
She landed on the high tree crown and looked up at the high peak above her head.
The rugged mountain peaks are covered with shrubs, green grass, and purple trees with their roots embedded in the cracks in the rocks. Their branches and leaves sway in the wind, partially covering the large characters on the mountain wall on the side.
"Ning Zi Zhao Night Palace"
There are five large characters standing vertically, the whole body is made of purple, and they are engraved on the mountain wall. The rocks engraved in the pen are clear and delicate, and the color inside is settled, giving it a faint sense of beauty.
Lorraine Hill continued to move his gaze upward, and then he saw the palaces and pavilions attached to the steep mountain wall, like suspended plank roads. Not only this mountain peak, but also several surrounding buildings. It seems that these buildings combined are
The complete Teruya Palace is located.
Under these mountain peaks, there are still lush purple woods, but there are also several small towns gathered in the woods. The houses in them appear and disappear under the shade of the trees, giving them a somewhat peaceful and leisurely atmosphere.
Lorraine Hill was sitting on a horizontal branch, wearing light green strappy sandals on both feet. Her white calves protruded from her skirt, swaying gently in the air, looking at the place, looking for what was there.
Main entrance or entrance.
Finally, she sighed softly and jumped down from the branch again, gliding over the small town like a white bird. Anyway, she couldn't tell for a while, so she might as well ask someone directly.
On the streets of the town, scattered pedestrians walked by, and the shops nearby sold some local specialties and daily necessities.
"Hello, is there anyone?"
In a quiet porcelain shop, there was a gentle knock on the open door.
"Someone, someone, please come in." A man who had been taking a nap on a wooden chair woke up and saw the girl. He was startled for a moment, then recovered and greeted the beautiful girl.
"Do you want to buy porcelain?" he asked.
"Yes." Lorraine Hill nodded, because the porcelain in this store was very beautiful, and she wanted to buy some, which would be good to take to the Western Continent in the future. By the way, I would like to ask how to enter the Teruiya Palace.
"Then you've come to the right place." The man in his thirties began to introduce.
This shop displays all kinds of porcelain, large and small, covering almost all kinds of uses, as well as many pure decorations. The difference between these porcelains and the outside world is that they are particularly purple. Almost eight out of ten pieces of porcelain are purple.
Yes, it’s just that these purple styles are not monotonous.
"Look, this is dyed with rare purple cattails." He took out a half-meter-high curved vase. Its cool glaze bottom was a pale purple. It was like using a purple brush on a white wall.
After brushing, you can vaguely see the white color of the wall itself.
The slight whiteness revealed in these gaps not only does not destroy the original beauty, but also adds a bit of natural comfort and comfort.
Little Luolan nodded, a little worried about not having enough money, and asked about other types of vases.
"You might like this one, it's dyed with Chengzi."
Seeing that the girl seemed hesitant, the shopkeeper introduced another kind of purple porcelain. There was a kind of light red in the purple. If you don't look closely, you won't find it strange, but if you look closely, you will see the purple porcelain.
The hidden light red has a gorgeous mottled feeling, which is very beautiful.
"This seems pretty good." Little Luolan felt like he couldn't keep his wallet.
"Don't worry, you can make your choice. Our store is a century old store and the quality is first-class. Even Zhaoye Palace recognizes it." In this era, the door-to-door sect has a very high social status, so it is natural to have their endorsement.
It's more trustworthy.
After Lorraine Hill turned around, he saw several porcelains placed on the lower side and asked curiously.
"What color is this? It seems very special."
"This is Night Purple, which means the purple color is so deep that it's almost like night." As he said that, the shopkeeper carefully picked up a vase and placed it on the table.
This vase is very dark in color, almost black, but when you look closely, it is not black but a very delicate purple color, giving it a dignified and elegant aesthetic.
Hmm, it seems pretty good too. A look of fondness appeared in Lorraine Hill's eyes. Although she doesn't pursue fame and fortune, she also has her own little hobbies, such as this kind of precipitated color wrapped in glaze. She used to do it in the forest.
Make something you like.
"This, this, and this." Lorraine Hill thought, and came up with one set of each of the three styles.
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The shopkeeper happily asked the girl to sit down for a while, then carefully took out the porcelain, and then brought a wooden box from the back room, which had many grids, just for placement.
After placing the porcelain, he poured in a bag of smoked dried flowers to slow down the collision of the porcelain, and then closed the box and locked it.
"Where are you going? I can call a carriage for you." The shopkeeper knew people well and saw that this girl was not a local, so he asked about the inn where he would stay.
"That's not necessary. I have to go to Zhaoye Palace. Just tell me how to get there." Lorraine Hill then revealed his identity.
Looking at the gardenia token, the shop owner was a little surprised, and then nervously wiped the sweat from his forehead.
"It turns out that the young lady comes from the Xiangyu sect. No wonder she has such grace. As for the money, you can give her as much as you like. The Xiangyu sect and Zhaoye Palace are both from the same family, and we townspeople often receive favors from people who visit us."
This young girl was naive and wanted to bid a higher price. She didn't want the other person to have an extraordinary background, so she stopped thinking about it.
"You don't have to be so polite." Lorraine Hill shook her head slightly. She didn't want to take advantage of such a small advantage, and besides, she really liked it.
And this kind of porcelain is made by craftsmen who spend their time and effort behind it. If they can't make more money, it is estimated that it will be difficult for people to have the motivation to continue studying in the future.
Moreover, she does not think that because she is an extraordinary person, she is superior to others and must receive special treatment. Compared with those who work hard, perhaps their efforts and struggles are not less than hers, and she is just more talented and better equipped.
That’s all.
After Lorraine Hill asked, he took out three gold dishes from his arms and placed them in the shopkeeper's hands.
"How can this be done? After all, it's not something special. I really can't afford this amount." The shop owner hesitated when he saw it.
Even if he sells these things at a higher price outside, together they only amount to one gold dish at most, but now this girl gave him three.
"It's nothing, just accept it. I hope you can see such beautiful porcelain when you come next time." Lorraine Hill smiled, waved his hand, and flew up into the sky shrouded in the shade of trees, carrying the wooden box.
Looking at the retreating figure, the store manager stood in front of the open space for a long time holding three gold coins. For some reason, a strange feeling surged in his heart.
When did I start to learn these philistine words? Maybe it was the year after my father passed away. I had to take over this shop. Unfortunately, my craftsmanship was not good, and it was far inferior to that of my father.
Later, I had to learn from the experience of the outside world, start decorating, and study the art of speaking. There was basically no progress in my skills, and there were just these kinds of things that came and went. In my father's and grandfather's generation, there were more than a dozen porcelains in this workshop.
species, but hundreds of species.
Although many people have come to buy over the years, after all, it is just a transaction. There are always all kinds of verbal exchanges, compromises and haggling. In the end, after all the efforts to reach an agreement, I just feel that those people are just buying back to pretend to be elegant.
, and I have to make up various stories to beautify it.
But this time it seemed different. Not only was there no bargaining, the other party even paid several times more. And it was obvious that this girl really liked her.
A faint sense of pride and satisfaction rose in my heart.
"Oh, I feel like I'm losing my mind again, so I'd better go back and tidy up." Although he said this, his footsteps stopped in front of a dusty cabinet door unknowingly. When he opened the door, several old notebooks were revealed, including
The familiar scrawled handwriting came into view, which he had written down when he was studying with his father when he was young.
It turns out that I haven't done it for so long. Why don't I practice again? Maybe I can meet such a generous guest next time.
Caressing the dusty manual notes, he sat back on the wooden chair and read quietly, instead of taking a nap like before.
