Chapter 27 The Secret Realm of Cold Mist
It was night, and the village in the cottage was very lively. In the yard of Baizao's house, many people were sitting around the table drinking, and at the table at the top in the middle, the important guests of the night were sitting.
For this mountain village, it was a rarity to have foreign guests, and the arrival of Roland Hill also reminded some village elders of the girl who appeared in the village a long time ago.
"I didn't expect that after so many years, Sister Jialan still hasn't grown up." Xiangyu, a girl who used to live in the lower floors of Roland Hill, is now a mother, but from the edges and corners of her face, you can vaguely see what she looked like in the past. .
She looked at the girl with a smile. Although she was much older, her personality didn't seem to have changed, and she became more cheerful.
"Appearance, because of practice, it should be difficult to change." Roland Hill shook his head slightly distressed, and then his eyes turned to the people in the courtyard one by one.
Among them were Bai Zao's husband, the bridegroom who got married back then, and Xiang Yu's husband, a stern man with a knife on his waist, and some old people in the village were also sitting at the wine table.
It is rare for outsiders to come here. In addition, the busy farming season has passed recently, and the villagers have also relaxed a little. Many people are curious about this girl who came to Baizao's house, so after shouting, many people gathered tonight. Come over, many of them also come to join in the fun.
Fortunately, Baizao's family was well prepared, and they called a few relatives in the neighborhood to make a fire to cook together. Xiangzheng also brought a lot of meat to make the banquet rich.
Everyone sat around in this small courtyard, wanting to hear about the girl's experience over the years, and Loren Hill also smiled and agreed, and then spoke slowly.
From leaving Min Ze to Lei Xiaze, I saw the vastness of this world for the first time. From going to Yanyan Continent to arriving in Huilu Continent, I felt the profound accumulation of door-to-door for the first time. Luojing, the capital of God, went to Longquan Bay overlooking the boundless sky and sea. When Roland Hill spoke, the yard fell silent unconsciously.
Whether it is an adult or a child, they quietly and yearnly listened to the girl telling about this vast and extremely wonderful world, the scenery, deeds, and experiences along the way, which filled people with reverie, as if they were in One after another in a lifelike world.
"After that, I boarded the ship returning to the Western Continent with those elf friends..." Roland Hill stopped a little, drank some water, and then continued.
"The wind and waves at sea are very strong, often the same blue sky and waves for several days, but it will be slightly different at night."
"The galaxy in the sky is covered with everything, standing at sea, like a tiny fish swimming among the stars..."
...
"The sea snakes connected to the sky and the earth, surrounded by thunder, like gods descending into the world, changing the sky and ocean currents for thousands of miles."
...
"It will be a few years before we wake up and wander back to the Western Continent."
Talking and talking, time passed slowly, and when Roland Hill stopped for a long time, everyone woke up from this long story.
The continent of Yan Yan, the yellow leaves of Huilu, the mountain of evening dusk, the clan of scorpions, the prosperous Luojing, and the endless ocean currents, those legendary picture scrolls made people unable to calm down for a long time, as if they had passed away.
"Really, sleepwalking is too empty." A middle-aged scholar in a white shirt raised a glass with emotion, and then gave a toast to Roland Hill, and then took a sip.
In this way, the sound in the yard gradually recovered. Many children asked their parents and elders, and some adults also talked and told each other about some of their past experiences, which reflected the deeds that Roland Hill told each other.
"Oops, the food is cold." Looking at the table full of cold dishes, Xiang Yu said in surprise and joking.
"I have to heat it up now." Then he got up, greeted the neighbors who helped, and started to re-build the fire and heat the dishes.
Everyone saw another burst of jokes, and then someone suggested not to leave after dinner tonight, just listen to the story of this trip by Miss Jialan.
"That's going to make Jialan busy." Baizao shook his head.
"Anyway, it's my guest. Let's just let her go. How about tomorrow."
"Hey..." Everyone had no choice but to sigh, it's really worrying to have to wait another night, but they just complained with a smile, and didn't mean to blame.
After the banquet was over, Baizao took Roland Hill back to the room to rest, and then apologized to the girl, "It's really embarrassing for you, I've told everyone for so long."
She knew before that this girl is not that kind of talkative character. Today, it is estimated that she has performed exceptionally. It will be a little embarrassing to let her continue tomorrow. No matter what, she is a guest. Polite.
"It's nothing, Sister Baizao." Roland Hill sat on the blue-dyed cloth bed in the orange candlelight, looking around with nostalgia.
"Actually, when I was telling the story, I also sorted out some things that were about to be forgotten. It's rare that everyone likes it." In fact, she still likes the atmosphere tonight, because it was like this when she was very young. In winter, adults and children sit around By the fire, some things are said, some tell stories, some roast sweet potatoes, some play cards and so on.
"It seems that you have changed a little compared to the past." Bai Zao responded with a smile.
"Have a good rest tonight and have a good dream." After that, Baizao walked down with the lantern.
After a good night's sleep, the next day, under the leadership of Baizao, Lorraine Hill walked among the villages, crossed the steps of bluestone, walked over the wooden plank road suspended between the branches and boulders, and climbed the high mountain behind. The observation deck, shuttled through the rice fields with rippling water, and at night, he returned to the village and sat in front of the fire to continue his story.
experience over the years.
In this way, after three days of comfortable and brisk life, Roland Hill said goodbye to Baizao.
"Are you leaving again?" Baizao asked Roland Hill to stay here for a few more days.
"No, there are still things to do."
"Well, I won't stop you anymore. After all, Jialan is also a powerful person now."
Afterwards, Loren Hill asked about Min Zenei's current situation and how everyone's life feels now.
"Our village is okay, because there are no powerful monsters around, but other villages are different. Now there are more and more incidents of monster attacks. Occasionally, I hear news of people missing." Bai Zao recalled.
"Xiangzhen's husband is often out and about. Several nearby stockades often invite powerful experts to attack the monsters in the mountains, so as to maintain the stability of the village."
"As for this part of life, I've been used to it for a long time. Because of the inconvenience of transportation, many things are produced by ourselves, and we are not so dependent on the outside world. But recently, I feel that many things have gone up in price. I heard from the uncles of the Chamber of Commerce. , the outside world is a little chaotic now, and disasters are frequent everywhere, so a place like ours is fairly stable."
"It turns out that, I probably understand." Roland Hill nodded, then thought for a while, took out another box and placed it in front of Baizao.
"This is?" Bai Zao asked with a little doubt. When did Jia Lan bring the box, she hadn't seen it before.
"This is a gift I gave to Sister Baizao. Well, it's a reward. I will be sad if Sister Baizao doesn't accept it."
"Okay, let's see what it is."
Seeing that Baizao was about to open the box, Roland Hill was a little hurried.
"Then I'll leave, see you later, Sister Baizao." After saying that, she jumped back lightly, flew up like a cloud, lightly stepped on the roof, and then jumped without a trace.
"Is it running so fast?" Bai Zao opened the box with a little doubt, his eyes gradually became larger, his mouth opened in surprise, and he slowly calmed down after a long time.
"This is a very precious gift."
There are not only two rows of extremely precious extraordinary potions in the box, but also three rare practice methods, as well as several extraordinary clothes and two dazzling short swords, which are extremely valuable.
Finally, there is a letter at the bottom of the box, which introduces the functions of these medicines and equipment, and also leaves an address where you can find yourself if you have anything. station.
"With these bodyguards, our small village should be a lot safer. I really don't know how to thank her." Bai Zao slowly closed the box and prepared with her husband and Xiang Yu. Discussing how to use these powers is not a stable era, and some things are slowly brewing.
————
After leaving the cottage village where Baizao was located, Roland Hill traveled all the way north. She wanted to find the little Taoyuan secret realm where she woke up.
At that time, because she lost her memory and her strength was low, she hadn't explored many places, and she was still curious as to why she woke up in this secret territory.
In the quiet forest, tall brown-brown trees stand, with oval leaves covering the entire canopy, some thorn trees and grass blades grow in the shade below, and occasionally small pea-like fruits can be seen.
Walking among the moss and the damp leaves, Roland Hill looked around, her fingers caressed the trunk of the tree beside, occasionally stained with some gray-black bark powder, she closed her eyes slightly, and explored the woods. same location.
Because the secret place is not big and it is extremely secret, even she needs to spend some energy to find clues.
Finally, as the sun gradually slanted to the west, Roland Hill stopped on a mountainside with a strong shade of trees. The sun in the distance had slowly set, and the afterglow shone through the woods between the mountains and the mountains. Hazy purple.
At this time, Roland Hill moved his footsteps and came under the tall elm tree. He stroked the trunk of the tree and took three steps in a circle. Then, the surrounding golden color was like ripples of water. grove.
In this forest, there is a misty mist, the color of which is tan purple dyed by the sunset. There is a small stream deep in the woods, and the stream in it flows quietly and makes a slight sound of water.
Walking through the ground full of dead leaves, Roland Hill thought about it step by step, and soon saw a familiar bamboo forest.
She walked inwards along the bamboo forest, then squatted down slowly, flicking the ground with her hands, and it seemed that she could still feel the few traces she had left when she slept on it that day.
It seems that it is really quiet here, even in the past 20 years, it has not changed.
If he didn't come, Roland Hill felt a trace of quiet happiness. It seemed that it was a rare and reassuring thing to have such a place that was not known and disturbed by outsiders.
She walked around the bamboo forest a few times, but unfortunately didn't find anything special, and then continued inward along the creek, wanting to see what was upstream.
The clear stream is slightly cold, and below it are pieces of jade that are like cold smoke, exuding a slight brilliance in the evening when night falls.
When Lorraine Hill walked about a few hundred meters, a small hillside appeared in front of him, and the stream flowed out from under a rock on the hillside, first forming a small pool, and then from The gap in the pool overflowed, forming a slender stream.
Is that it? Roland Hill's eye boy moved slightly, and then stretched his hand into the cold pool of water.
It was so cold, and there was a bone-chilling coldness in his hand, and the whole person seemed to wake up.
But to such an extent, she is not injured now, instead, she feels the water extending along the hand, and wants to know the scene in the rock.
In this way, a slight breath of dragon veins was also noticed by Roland Hill, and then he continued to follow the breath of dragon veins inwards, and his consciousness followed him to continue exploring in the deep and dark world.
Closing his eyes, Roland Hill felt as if he was immersed in a pitch-dark world, and then the breath of the dragon veins spread like a tiny network of roots in this pitch-dark world.
As if absorbing water, in the pitch-black world that was silted in the depths of the ground, as well as the unknown distant Mana, the energy of heaven and earth, slowly and slowly merged into the dragon veins like this, and then gathered drop by drop along the root system.
The scale of this collection is so small that it is almost negligible, but when viewed collectively, it feels boundless, with a little spark, and the beauty of converging into light.
Compared with the bustling and noisy dragon veins in other Zhou counties, the dragon veins here are extremely weak, but because of this, there are no other distractions.
In this detailed experience, Roland Hill's formation and perception of dragon veins became more and more clear, and a sudden enlightenment slowly rose in his heart.
It turned out that the dragon veins formed and worked like this, like tree roots and streams, she slowly opened her eyes, and the sky was completely dark at this time.
The person who proposed the Dragon Vein plan back then must have been a very delicate and quiet person. Roland Hill suddenly had such a feeling that although the power of the Dragon Vein was majestic and powerful on the surface, it was extraordinarily strong when it came to the subtle and peripheral areas. Soft and delicate, it gently guides the mana or magic that exists in the world in a seductive way, and slowly blends into this small and quiet stream.
Because it is not actively pulling or absorbing, this method prevents the dragon veins from rapidly destroying and changing the local environment, and also enables it to slowly change the world in a very low-consumption, quiet and silent way, allowing its magic power to slowly precipitate. Come down and form special resources, such as these 'Cold Mist Jade' in front of you.
This is actually similar to the nature of plants solidifying solar energy into carbon compounds and precipitating into petroleum and coal. Dragon veins also slowly precipitate the magic of the world in their own way, forming rare and useful resources, or spiritual charm. Natural jade metal, or exotic flowers and plants, extraordinary trees and plants.
I have to say that this is a genius idea, which is why there are significantly more extraordinary people in the East than in the West. Because of the existence of the dragon veins, more resources have been accumulated, and the cultivation method of the classical vein has been continued.
But, why did it slowly give up this method later.
Roland Hill reopened his eyes and looked at the stars in the sky. The stars from millions of light-years away still shone on this world, but the people living in this world have been replaced by countless generations in time. .
Perhaps, I have to go to more secret realms to find clues. Now that the world is about to change, it is time to return to the Feather Sect.
