Chapter 26 Return to Min Ze

The morning mist shrouded in the lush mountains and forests, bringing a little coolness to the skin.

Loren Hill lightly stepped on the fallen leaves and tree roots in the forest, walking through this remote and silent rolling hills.

This is the depths of Min Zezhou, where there are few people. It often takes several months before a caravan rides tall prison cattle and drags boxes of heavy goods to and from the deep waters and mountains.

There are many moss and silt in the water and mountains. Fortunately, the weather is getting colder now, and the air is cold, and there are not many annoying insects and ants, and it becomes more comfortable.

The toes lightly stepped on the tree, bending it slightly, and then the girl in the white dress jumped up again and slid a long distance in the wind, with such a light gesture like catkins or feathers in the wind.

Occasionally, I could see some gray-brown squirrels and black-billed pheasants that were active in the forest. When the girl passed the top of her head, they were unaware and still walked around randomly, looking for food in the dead branches and grass.

In this way, following the memory in my mind, after climbing over a high hill, my eyes suddenly brightened, and a plain of water and lakes hidden among the tall mountains came into the girl's eyes.

The high mountains of Qingdai are layered on top of each other, looming in the distance of clouds and mist. Several households are located at the foot of the mountain. A few wisps of light smoke from the kitchen are floating slightly, and occasionally there are a few barks of dogs, which are also mixed with the shouting of the mountains. Niu Sheng, this small village in memory is still so quiet.

This is the small village of the Yeyu clan. There are actually many small clans like the Yeyu clan in Gulei Qizhou. Most of them have a small population. There are often only a few surnames in a mountain village, and they are basically relatives of the same clan. .

The seven continents of Mianlei, where poisonous insects, snakes and ants are scattered, and the sinister environment separates each gathering place, forming such a small clan with different accents, customs, and differences. In ancient times, this place was called the land of Baiyue. Or the land of poisonous swamp, until the Phoenix came into the world, this land gradually gathered people and gradually became alive.

Walking through the narrow ridge in the water field, the dew of the grass stained the hem of the clothes, and the small village surrounded by stones in the distance became clearer and clearer. As the village got closer and closer, Roland Hill still missed At the same time, I felt a little nervous, not knowing what Baizao is doing now.

Back then, when she woke up, she forgot a lot of things and became very weak. She could only rely on Baiqiu's help to get out of this deep mountain. Looking back now, if she encountered bad people at that time, it would be an unimaginable consequence. .

In this mountain village, she happened to meet a local couple getting married, and then lived here for a while before waiting for the caravan to travel between the mountains.

During this period of time, Baizao was basically taking care of her and taught her a lot of things from the outside world.

At that time, before leaving, Baizao also instructed Roland Hill to come back and have a look, but he didn't want to leave, it had been more than ten years.

Going forward along the spacious mountain road in front of the village, the road under your feet is paved with fine stones, and people on both sides of the road also appear in the field of vision. You can see one or two local villagers walking by, some of them carrying hoes Or poles, some walk barefoot on the drying yard in front of their homes, flipping the grains of baogu, and occasionally they can hear some crows of firewood and roosters.

When passing by a house, a villager with a cyan turban came over. His clothes were half unraveled, with a lot of grass clippings and dry mud on it. He also had a sweaty towel on his shoulders, and his skin was sunburned. Some black.

"Where did you little girl come from? Did you get lost with the adults?" As soon as he opened his mouth, his thick voice spread almost all over the small village, and many villagers came out to take a look.

In this deep mountain, there are only dozens of families, and it can be said that they are very familiar with each other. Now a neatly dressed and beautiful girl suddenly appeared, which is indeed a new thing.

Although Roland Hill felt more mature, her 16- or 17-year-old appearance was just an older child in the eyes of the locals.

"I..." Just as some thoughts passed through his mind, Roland Hill was a little distressed about how to explain it.

"I'm here to find Sister Baizao, um, I came here a long time ago and received a lot of help from Sister Baizao."

"Oh, Big Sister Bai, you said this, I know, it should be someone that Big Sister Bai knew outside before, hahaha." After speaking, the uncle rubbed his head and laughed, as if he had suddenly asked himself just now. Kind of embarrassed.

Then he turned his head and shouted to the boys watching the fun on the hillside: "Hey, little Qingtou, go and call out Big Sister Bai, this meeting should be at the back of the mountain spring."

"Hmph, call me again." Above, the ten-year-old child was unhappy, but he still trotted up the narrow mountain road built along the stone stairs.

"This girl, just wait for a while, Xiao Qingtou is the child of the big sister Bai, and he can call someone in a while."

"Thank you, eldest brother." Roland Hill nodded and thanked as the locals did, and then looked at the child on the mountain road who was gradually disappearing in the shade.

Is it the child of the big sister Baizao? I remember that Baizao married here at the time. It shouldn't be her own sister, so it's her husband's sister.

Thinking about it, a girl with clear eyes and a familiar face appeared in Roland Hill's mind. She seemed to be called 'Xiangyu'.

Because there were few outsiders in the village, when Roland Hill was waiting in the open space in the village, many villagers came over to take a look. Although they spoke in a low voice, in front of the girl with a keen hearing, they were close to each other. Almost in the ear, clearly.

"Good-looking girl, it looks like a child of a wealthy family."

"Did she come alone? Did she run away from home?"

"That skirt

The color is really white and there is no mud at all, how is this done. "

"It shouldn't be ordinary clothes. I heard that there are some powerful people in Min Zezhong who use polyester and snow silk to spin yarn. That kind of fabric doesn't stain with sludge. Just wash it with water and you can easily remove the dirt."

"That's quite expensive. My seventh uncle's family saved up for many years before I got a skirt for my granddaughter. You must know that my seventh uncle is a formidable snake catcher in eight villages and eight villages. His strength is also at the fourth rank, so it costs a lot of money. I’m so energetic, and looking at the color, it’s not so white.”

"Looks very small, this child is so beautiful, people can't take their eyes off."

Many people boasted and admired this young girl who had just arrived in the village. Some of them had been heard too much. Roland Hill was also a little embarrassed and lowered his head slightly, but this cute appearance attracted a lot of people. The words seem to have had the opposite effect.

Just when Roland Hill felt that the time was a little long, he finally heard other voices approaching.

A slightly plump woman walked down the mountain road holding a large bamboo basket. Inside the bamboo basket were fruits that had just been cleaned. Most of these fruits were green and smooth, shaped like long strips, divided into several edges, and they looked a little bit still. hard.

"Did you ask me to come?" She walked down the mountain path with the stone steps, put down the bamboo basket, and then had time to look at the girl standing under the hillside.

"This is... Jialan?"

Roland Hill's appearance has basically remained unchanged, and this rare appearance is always impressive, and Bai Zao recognized it at once.

Looking at this young girl whom he hadn't seen for many years, Bai Zao smiled, then walked down quickly and came to Roland Hill.

"Is it Jialan?"

"Yes, Sister Baizao, I'm back to see you." Roland Hill also responded happily.

"It's a rare customer. I thought you wouldn't come back. After all, Xiao Jialan is so beautiful, she may have married into a big family." Baizao circled around Roland Hill, as if she wanted to get to know her again, teasing her. Speaking of which, although the figure is more mature than in the past, the personality is still similar.

"Come with me, are you here alone?" Bai Zao took Loren Hill's hand and walked up the hillside. Many villagers waved their hands kindly along the way and asked where this came from. The guests who come, the little girl is so beautiful and so on.

When I returned to the wooden building on the mountainside, someone at home had already prepared tea, and the clear amber liquid was poured out of the old teapot with a missing corner. There were some tea leaves and petals floating in it, and a fragrant fragrance rushed over, making people feel Feel comfortable.

"You sit first, I changed my clothes, I sweated a little bit." Baizao asked Loren Hill to sit in the lobby, put down the bamboo basket, and walked into the room beside him.

While Loren Hill was sitting in the lobby, a few small heads appeared outside the door, and a few children looked at the guest who had just come to the village curiously.

For these children who looked at her with wide-eyed eyes, Loren Hill gently waved her hand and said "Hello~" and then didn't know how to coax her. She has never been very good at dealing with children.

These children looked at Roland Hill waving, but did not respond. Perhaps they did not understand the words of such greetings. There were still many differences between the accents spoken by the locals and the outside world.

After a short while, Bai Zao walked out of the house, and now he was wearing a light blue and white embroidered clothes, which looked a little cool and comfortable.

"You guys don't stay here for now. Come back later in the evening, there will be delicious food."

"Okay~ Aunt Bai is so nice~" After saying that, the children dispersed and went to play elsewhere.

At this moment, the room quieted down a little, and then Baizao spoke to Roland Hill.

"Jialan doesn't seem to have changed at all, so she must have practiced a very powerful method."

Although to some villagers, the unchanging face of Roland Hill is very novel, but for Baizao, such a thing is not difficult to understand. She had studied in the Chi Immortal Sect in her early years, and she had seen those powerful priestesses, as well as some high-level messengers in the sect, many of whom maintained their youthful appearance.

"I have practiced some methods." Loren Hill nodded, and then talked about her experience after she left Min Ze.

...

"I didn't expect to go to the door-to-door faction, it's really amazing." Baizao is one of the few people in the village who has more knowledge and knows how difficult it is to enter the door-to-door faction, and how terrifying its strength is.

"It's no wonder that I haven't seen you come back all these years. At first, I thought something happened to you, and I was a little sad. Now it seems that the internal assessment is strict and there is not much time to go out." Think about the experience over the years.

"This, I have gone through a lot of things, so I only came back to see Sister Bai now." Roland Hill said embarrassedly.

In other words, it has been nearly 20 years since she left this mountain village, went to study at the Feather School, and then came back from the Western Continent. The newly married elder sister Baizao is now in her thirties, and is almost forty.

Time flies, the girl sighed slightly.

"How is Sister Baizao's life now?"

"I'm okay. This mountain village is not as rich and exciting as Jialan's experience. The daily life is relatively calm, and there have been some turmoils in recent years."

Bai Zao also talked about the changes over the years. After a few years of marriage, she had two children one after another, but now the two children are not around. One went to the 'Zhushanyuan' to study and study, and the other took care of the former Seniors and sisters, brought it to Chixian Sect to practice.

"They're not like me, they're all very ambitious." Bai Zao said with a smile of his two children.

child

Is the child so old? Hearing this, Roland Hill blinked and felt a little surprised, but it seemed reasonable. Ordinary people have only a few decades in their lives, time has passed, and everything has changed.

"Okay, let's not talk about this for now. Since Jialan is here, I'll tidy up your place first. I'll stay here for the night today, and tomorrow I'll show you around. When you came, I I just got married at that time, so I don’t know them well, and I don’t know how to introduce them to you.”

After that, Baizao took Loren Hill out of the three-story wooden building and went to the Shiqiong Building on the other side of the courtyard.

"Remember that night, you also lived in this Qionglou. At that time, I asked Xiangyu to take care of you, I was afraid that you would be afraid and not know the way." Baizao walked in the Shiqionglou, talking about the interesting stories of that year.

"Where is Xiangyu now?" The girl remembered the words of the villager in front of the village.

"Xiangyu also got married, probably more than ten years ago, her husband is a good swordsman in the village, and now his home is on another mountainside not far from here, and he often comes to talk to me and bring something."

"The people she married are very powerful. In this mountain, there are not many people who can surpass her husband. They have the strength of the fourth rank."

"I see." Roland Hill nodded.

"By the way, I haven't asked you about Jialan yet. How old are you now, at least there will be fifth? I feel that sixth-order is also very likely. After all, it is a door-to-door faction."

Bai Zao recalled the scattered memories. In the Chi Immortal Sect, the sixth-order is already a very powerful master. They are probably the true disciples of the sect. They can go out and stand alone. The characters are often the pillars of the sect, and the eighth rank is the level of the leader of the Chixian sect.

Although the Chixian Sect is not a door-to-door, but now in the Seven Continents of Gulei, the Chixian Sect is the closest to the door-to-door sect. It has also obtained the name of door-to-door in history and has a profound background, but when it was a door-to-door, the name was not Chixian. It is the 'Chi Lian Lin Xian Sect', and there are countless disciples in the sect.

"Me..." Roland Hill hesitated for a while, and decided to reveal the truth.

"It's the seventh level of the Qianlong lineage now." She lightly lifted her sleeves while speaking, and the flexible flames around her wrists gathered together like silk threads, condensed in the palm of her hand, and turned into a lifelike firebird, flapping her wings and using magic power. At that time, the slowly spreading heat wave also lifted the girl's hair slightly, like a temporary goddess, sacred and beautiful.

Even though she had long since stopped focusing on her practice, Bai Zao was still amazed by the Firebird that slowly radiated heat. Such agile manipulation techniques and the introverted and extremely condensed Yuan Force in the Firebird made her a little unbelievable.

I still underestimate Jialan from a distance. At first, she was like a girl who was exiled from immortality, but now she has such strength, it seems to be expected?

"It seems that there is a distinguished guest today."

Bai Zao slowly combed the long hair behind his ears with his hands, slowly calming the surging emotions in his heart, and it took a long time to look back at the figure standing in front of the windowsill, dressed in pure white clothes and wearing a blue pendant. ranhill.

Maybe it's better not to make it too sensational tonight, it's better to let Jialan keep a low profile, otherwise, this small courtyard of hers may be ruined by the neighbors of the village. Thinking of this, Bai Zao stroked his forehead, feeling that he suddenly had an unreal feeling.
