The sky is getting brighter, and the sun rises slowly from the east again, illuminating the world.
Li Yinchen felt as if he had a very long dream, in which he had died in an accident.
There were sparse bird chirping in his ears, and he seemed to be covered with a soft quilt. He slowly opened his eyes, sorted out the vague memory, and then looked around.
here is...
It looks a little strange, but it seems to be a place where humans gather, it is relatively quiet, and there are only occasional voices in the distance.
He slowly sat up and looked at his hands and body. The bandages had been wrapped on them, and they were no longer so painful. It was no wonder that he could sleep well, but who saved him. Wasn't what I saw last night really a dream, but such a scene was too dreamy and unbelievable.
In this way, he sat quietly on the bed. After a long time, there was a creaking sound of the door, and a little girl came in and saw him sitting up.
"Ah, you're awake." This girl has cyan hair and snow-white skin. At first glance, she looks like a child of the scorpion family.
"Yes, this is... ." Li Yinchen looked at the girl.
"This is a secluded valley in the evening mountains. I don't know the exact name. It's what everyone around me said anyway." The girl pressed her chin with her finger and answered thoughtfully.
"Then why do I..." Li Yinchen wanted to know more about the situation, but the girl seemed to know what he was going to ask, so she answered first.
"I know. You were rescued by Lord Jialan last night, along with a man and a woman. They are lying next door now."
"After that, Lord Jialan treated you and you with herbs and spells, and then asked me and others to take care of it, that's it."
It turned out to be near that shrine, Li Yinchen thought to himself, and then wanted to try to get out of bed for a walk and go out to have a look.
"Hey, be careful, the injury isn't healed yet." The girl hurried over, ready to dissuade Li Yinchen.
"It's alright, I'm used to this injury. Thank you for taking care of me, my name is Li Yinchen." He refused the girl's support and stood up against the wall.
Seeing that this person does have a certain ability to act, the little girl also put down the stone in her heart.
"My name is Caiwei. Right now, I'm helping my mother and the shrine to do something." The little girl also introduced herself, and then saw Li Yinchen slowly crossing out.
"It's better for you to slow down." Cai Wei followed slowly and walked out of the house with Li Yinchen.
When Li Yinchen stepped out of this small courtyard on the hillside, the vast and lively scenery of the valley came into view. There were people walking everywhere, everyone was bustling, but there were few quarrels, and they were trading various things, some They are still exchanging their experiences and practicing martial arts, etc., sitting and preparing for the next battle.
Seeing this, Li Yinchen was surprised for a while, this was different from the silent valley he had seen a long time ago, so he stared at the hillside carefully.
——
In the shrine, it was quiet.
Granny Gloria sat on her knees in the hall, listening to Loren Hill slowly narrating what she had learned at Zhaoye Palace yesterday.
"I didn't expect that so many things happened, and Yujian died there..." Granny Ge Luo's words seemed to contain sadness and a sigh.
"Mother-in-law, do you know the real person Yujian?"
"Knowing, can be regarded as a familiar old friend." Granny Gloria sighed, and then said to Roland Hill.
"It's your hard work this time, leave the rest to me. Speaking of which, your experience is about to end, and it's no longer suitable to stay here for a long time." Although Loren Hill will be a powerful help if he stays , but considering that the situation in the future will only become more and more dangerous, it would be a pity and regret if this important disciple of the Feather Sect died here.
"Although the Feather Sect and the Zhaoye Palace were a family hundreds of years ago, they are not so familiar now. If you go to the Zhaoye Palace to help you, you may not be able to see the leader of the sect immediately." Granny Ge Luo slowly talking.
"So let's go back to the Feather Sect first, it's safer and safer." She wanted the girl to leave this dangerous place.
"But... .." Roland Hill was just about to defend, when a burst of hurried footsteps came from the outside world, and then pushed aside the curtain in front of the shrine and stepped in.
"Wait, this lady." Cai Wei's anxious voice came from behind.
Roland Hill turned around and saw a woman who had not recovered from her injuries walked in. She was wearing a cyan coat on the outside and bright yellow and beautiful clothes on the inside.
"Excuse me, are you the witch of this shrine?" The woman looked at Granny Gloria, who was wearing a black dress in the middle.
"That's right, the old one is. May I ask who is this girl?" Granny Geluo could tell that this woman was not from the stubborn family in the mountains.
"I'm from Luojing, and I came here to investigate the situation in the Ximu Mountains under the secret order of Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion."
The woman approached slowly, then stopped in the hall and explained her origins, but when she looked at Granny Geluo carefully, her brows frowned slightly again.
"Are you really the presiding witch in this shrine?" she asked again.
"Indeed." Granny Gloria nodded again.
"You're so rude." Caiwei, who was behind, ran in panting, and was a little angry when she heard the woman ask such a question.
"Master Ge Luo has served as a witch in the shrine, and has been appeasing and mediating the dragon's veins for more than 60 years. No one in these mountains knows the name of the witch." Cai Wei explained.
"Is that so, but... you're not from a clan." The woman looked at Granny Geluo's face, and finally said these words slowly, her voice seemed to be puzzled and puzzled.
The dragon veins in the mountains in the evening are dirty, and most of them are disordered and uncontrolled. It is extremely difficult to reconcile them. After a long time, they will be corroded by the magic power of Jiuyou. Anyone who thinks about it is a bad profession. Generally, there is a clan of the clan and it is enough to take charge of it internally, but Granny Geluo does not belong to the clan of cunning, so why should she take charge of this matter here and waste her years.
"Ah, this..." Hearing these words, Caiwei also turned her head in surprise and looked at Granny Geluo, as if she had never thought about this issue before. She subconsciously thought that Granny Geluo was also evil. a family.
"People have their own ideas and choices, which is not uncommon." Granny Geluo still bowed her head flatly.
"Is there something specific you came here from Luojing? Maybe I can provide some help." Granny Geluo asked the woman's intentions again.
The woman also knew that now was not the time to be entangled in this kind of thing, and started to talk about it. "It's like this..."
Afterwards, she talked about her origins, and it turned out to be from the Marigold Hanging House of the Plantagenet Dynasty. The predecessor of this institution was the pro-military of the founding monarch of the Plantagenet Dynasty, mainly responsible for intelligence-related matters. After the establishment of the dynasty, it became the monitoring agency of the dynasty.
This time, it was also because of receiving a secret report that it was said that the state shepherd of Xiyouzhou deliberately concealed the chaos under his control, and was suspected of deceiving the king. I don't want to find any tangible phenomena and evidence in Xiyou Continent. After coming here, I heard that there were some changes in the Ximu Mountains on the side. It's also a misunderstanding.
"I see." Granny Geluo nodded.
"Then what are your plans for this girl? You must be familiar with the crisis in the evening mountains now."
In this regard, the woman pondered for a while.
"Although I was prepared to come here this time, I didn't expect such a big event, but as a member of the Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion, it is not too much for me to participate in it." She recalled what she saw in the mansion that year. History, narrated slowly.
"After the defeat of Yuguo, Lord Chifeng and all the immortals came to deal with the troubles, but the dragon veins and caves here are in chaos and cannot be cured. Later, the disciples of the 'Hangyu Sect', 'Taiyin Palace' and 'Hanghua Mansion' were invited to assist. deal with."
"Among them, the 'Taiyin Palace' is sealed under the ground of Jiuyou, which coincides with the lunar moon in the night sky, so as to restrain and seal those broken caves."
"The 'Hanging Flower Mansion' sent witches and congratulations to cut off the dragon veins connected to the surrounding states and counties to prevent the spread of ghost energy."
"The 'Hangyu Sect' left the disciples of Jiuyouyi to roam the mountains to prevent outsiders from breaking the seal and suppressing the few demons that spilled out."
"It's a pity that more than 300 years ago, the Sacrificial Moon Taiyin Palace participated in the struggle for succession. Because of the failure of the struggle, its faction was disbanded, its disciples were scattered, and the books were also taken into the custody of the Xuanhua House. The next disciples also formed their own faction many years ago and became the Ning Zi Zhao Ye Palace."
"Although there are no disciples of Zhaoye Palace now, but our Jinzhan Xuanhua Palace intervenes in this matter, and it is also one of the missions, and it is not overstepping."
After listening to his explanation, Roland Hill finally spoke at this moment.
"It's just that the current situation in the Zhaoye Palace is not as promised back then..." She also said what she saw in the station yesterday.
After listening to this, the woman was also very surprised. She didn't expect such a fierce infighting within the door-to-door faction.
"I'm afraid we can't solve this matter in a short time." She thought about the situation quickly.
"Now that Xiyouzhou is the closest, we can go there first to ask for help, and the master of the Zhaoye Palace will probably take half a month to get there, and it will probably take a month to come back. It's too late." She said to herself Of course, this is estimated at her own speed.
Roland Hill looked at the woman and asked carefully: "Do you have any way to get the state shepherd to send troops."
"This shouldn't be a big problem." She nodded confidently and proudly. As the Xuanhua Mansion of the Supervision Baiguan, any official would not be afraid to see it.
"Okay." Although Lorraine Hill felt that the rumored state shepherd was not someone who was easy to deal with, it was not easy to deliberately demolish the stage at this moment.
Seeing the two people in the hall analysing, Granny Ge Luo nodded slightly, then took out the silk cloth from the drawer on the side and wrote quickly.
"I will write down the current situation, and this time I will trouble you to send me a letter." After she finished speaking, she rolled it up and handed it to the two of them.
"Okay." Roland Hill didn't mind running errands again. It's just that the woman in the hall seemed to have other ideas.
"Can you allow me to visit the secluded valley for half a day and then go back?" As a member of the Xuanhua Mansion, many things cannot be believed by others' descriptions, and she has to investigate them with her own eyes.
"That's ok, it was originally a trouble for the imperial envoy." Granny Geluo replied.
"That's annoying."
"By the way, I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Bu Moyin, and I come from the Bu family in Luojing."
Granny Ge Luo nodded thoughtfully, and then the woman temporarily withdrew from the shrine, and Cai Wei, who was beside her, had to follow.
After seeing him go away, Granny Geluo spoke slowly.
"It's no wonder that he is so concerned, it is actually the queen of the Bu family."
"Who is the Bu family?" Roland Hill asked curiously.
"The Bu family is one of the six famous families in Luojing. Their ancestors were the queens of the founder of the country. Although they have risen and fallen several times, they have gradually stabilized. Although they cannot influence the government today, their reputation has been passed down. known to all."
"Which are the other six?" The girl accidentally became interested.
"Hehe, what I know is limited. After all, I am in the valley all the year round. I just heard about its general name. The six major families in Luojing are 'Bu', 'Lian', 'Zhao', 'Ye', 'Bi' and 'Bu'. But Jia Lan, you don’t need to take these aristocratic families too seriously, there are so many geniuses in the world these days, and these families are just because they have produced famous people in the past, so you don’t need to be too trustworthy.” Granny Geluo was afraid that Roland Hill would be frightened by the names of these handed down families. , and then explain in detail.
"Nowadays, when the dynasty takes scholars from all over the world, it is no longer the monopoly of aristocratic families. It is also more than 300 years ago that the master of ZTE eliminated the advantages and disadvantages, suppressed the aristocratic family, and hammered down several families who made peace with him. The big door-to-door faction separates the aristocratic family from these big door-to-door factions. Speaking of which, the Moon Sacrifice Taiyin Palace also disappeared in this revolution.”
"It's just that after all these families are meritorious, it's not good to kill them all. It chills the hearts of the old people. Seeing that they are no longer demon queens, the dynasty slowly restores peace and no longer continues to be hostile."
Just as Roland Hill was learning about some of the official positions and institutions in the dynasty from Granny Geluo, Bu Moyin was also watching quickly in the valley.
After she was rescued by Roland Hill last night, the ghost in her body was also easily disposed of by Roland Hill, so she didn't suffer any trauma, and it was easy to move at this moment.
Seeing these clansmen walking around the valley, trading and talking, he seemed to be very interested, but due to the lack of time, Bu Moyin asked the girl beside him.
"Caiwei, is this valley always so lively?"
"No, no, this is actually a very rare situation. After all, there are not many places in Yamaluo Mountain where barley can be grown. If you gather here, I'm afraid everyone will starve to death." The girl waved her hand hastily.
"Hungry to death? How could it be." Mo Yin looked incredulous. This young lady, who grew up in Luojing, was naturally incomprehensible, and there was still a large-scale famine in the dynasty.
"That's it." Cai Wei's voice was also a little low.
"Sister Mo Yin came from outside, right? What kind of life do people outside live..."
"This..." Although Bu Moyin knew what was going on in the outside world, she didn't know how to explain it to this girl at the moment, because she had never seen many terms and things, so she naturally couldn't understand it.
... .
"...Hey, what is a fish? Sister Mo Yin." Mo Yin began to gesture and describe after listening to it.
...
"Wow, is it so beautiful, and has a shiny shell." Caiwei's eyes flashed with strange colors.
"No, it's not a shell. How should I put it, it's scales, just a small piece, a small piece stacked on top of each other." Mo Yin had to explain it again, and at this time, she gradually realized that although there were a lot of people in this valley, there were a lot of them. The variety of goods is extremely poor, and there are only a few that come and go.
Black barley, black hemp, simple metal utensils, etc., in addition to black, it is even difficult to see other colors.
...
"Have you always lived like this?" Looking at the thin and dry figures on the side of the road, the woman who came to Luo Jing finally felt a little sympathetic.
"Well, it's always been like this." Cai Wei answered as a matter of course.
"But isn't this too pitiful..." She looked at the shriveled, unpalatable and hard black barley cake in her hand, feeling that her cheeks were a little sore after chewing.
"Why are you poor? Actually, Caiwei thinks it's normal." The little girl looked puzzled.
"Uh..." Mo Yin was dumbfounded for a while, not knowing how to say it or not. In the end it just turned into a silent sigh.
"Well, I'm full, thank you Xiao Caiwei, next time my sister will bring you something delicious. Well, how about the gold fish cakes at Luojing Qiuyue Lantern Festival."
"Although I don't know what it looks like, I would like to thank Sister Mo Yin first." Cai Wei nodded with a smile.
Looking at the innocent and innocent smile of the girl in front of her, Bu Moyin suddenly felt a sense of responsibility and mission slowly descending on her shoulders. Perhaps this is the reason why she gave up her comfortable life and joined Jinzhan Xuanhua Mansion.
"Then, let's say goodbye here first. My sister will go back this time and find some help for everyone." Bu Moyin finally stopped walking around the valley.
"Yeah." Cai Wei just thought that the elder sister was speaking normal words.
"Then it's settled."
The sun gradually rose into the sky, and part of the sun shone into the valley, and Bu Moyin finally waved goodbye to Caiwei and walked towards the shrine.
