She Is Not a Witch Chapter 12: The sound of the drums is overwhelming, and the waves are endless
"Yu's surname is not a common surname. Even though I travel around all the year round, I rarely see the same surname."
"That year, I set off from Nanfengzhou with a batch of goods and went to Luojing. After returning several months later, the housekeeper said that when I was out, a colleague came to visit. Relatives in my family."
"Because of some encounters in my early years, I didn't like some old relatives in my hometown, so I didn't care much at that time."
"Then, after another two years, I heard from the housekeeper again that a fourth-tier expert from the same sect came to visit, and he might be from my hometown. Only then did I ask carefully."
"That's when I realized that there is such a person with the same surname as myself."
"But at that time, I just sat in the hall master, and I was busy with my affairs, so I asked the housekeeper to send someone back to return the gift, and gradually forgot about it."
"Now that I think about it, I may have missed a good guy who I can make friends with."
"Then where is the person you mentioned now?"
"He should be in East Huzhou, which is close to the stormy sea and the sea beasts are rampant, but there are also many opportunities. Generally, those who have the ambition to improve themselves in the hall will go there to practice."
"Even if he has changed locations over the years, he will definitely be able to hear news if he goes to the branch hall there. After all, such a person will definitely not be unknown."
Afterwards, the hall master asked the housekeeper to bring the wooden box where the letters were stored in the house, and searched through them one by one, and finally found two letters of greeting left by a hundred vendettas among a pile of old papers.
Lorland Hill flipped through the yellowed and even torn letter paper, looked at the words on it, and quickly confirmed that it was indeed left by Yu Baichou.
Although it was not written by him himself, it was also dictated and then transcribed by others, because some of the speaking habits in it were very familiar to Lorraine Hill.
In the first letter, Yu Baichou's words were very respectful and humble, probably because he was in a difficult situation and wanted to find guidance and help.
At that time, he had been away from home for nearly ten years, and he gradually became estranged from his brothers at home. He was also alone outside without a family. Having been stuck there for several years and being unable to advance further, this made him, who was originally bold, a little disheartened, and then sad.
At that time, Yu Baichou wanted to see this senior with the same surname from the same family, to see if he could get some advice. Qiu was a little out of balance, so he made many different actions from the past.
However, the hall master didn't pay attention to this prayer and visit, and two years later, Yu Baichou returned from Qiilei Qizhou. The words of the second letter were also very clear, they were just written to say hello and introduce my intentions.
I heard from the steward of the mansion that when they sent back the gifts to this meeting, Yu Baichou was already faintly about to break through the fourth level and enter the fifth level, so he came back and talked to the hall master a few more times before staying. A tiny image.
There are a lot of affairs in the Tuoshi hall. The head of the hall does not know how many people he meets every year, and how many powerful colleagues he has to deal with. People like Yu Baichou may be brilliant, but they are not rare, so I have always been impressed. Deep, until Lorraine Hill came to look for him today, he thought about it carefully, and he vaguely remembered such a person.
"So that's the case." Lorraine Hill was slightly relieved to hear that Yu Baichou was not involved in the fierce "Fight of Lions and Dragons", and then asked about the situation in Donghuzhou.
To the east of the twenty-two continents in the south, there is a large mountain, which is shaped like a tilting stone pot, and is by the sea, so this continent is called Donghuzhou.
"Compared to other continents, the coast of Donghuzhou is particularly prominent. It can be said that it is surrounded by the sea on three sides, and the huge waves of the stormy sea often sweep the coast. Only the Shihu Mountain is relatively stable and often inhabited."
Compared to Nanfengzhou, which has a population of more than ten million, Donghuzhou has a pitifully small number of residents, less than one million, scattered inland and on Shihu Mountain near the sea.
"The Sea of Storms is different from the Sea of Endlessness. The sea is extremely windy and turbulent, and the weather is unpredictable. There are many sea animals. There is no stable route."
"East Huzhou is close to the sea of wind and waves. There are many monks who specialize in building large ships to hunt sea animals at sea. The flesh, scales, bones, and other materials obtained can often be sold for a lot of money. But this business is also risky. Every year Many people died at sea."
"Our branch of Tuoshitang there has also set a rule, that is, you must never go to sea to catch animals, and only do business in transporting personnel and materials to and from East Huzhou."
"If Ms. Jialan wants to go there, I can write a letter of introduction, which will make the journey much more convenient." Although he is recovering from his injuries, he has been the head of Yizhou Hall for a long time, and he is also a member of the faction' General Red Lion', with a lot of face, can help this girl solve many tedious and mundane matters.
"Thank you, senior." Lorraine Hill responded gratefully.
"Haha, it's just a trivial matter. Are you ready for the banquet? Today I'm lucky enough to recover, so I'll have a big drink." Although it looks like he's over sixty, this guy is still vigorous and heroic.
In the following night, Lorraine Hill had to have another meal with him before returning to the hotel in Taowuzhou.
Originally planned to leave for Donghuzhou the next day, but when I didn't want to leave, I got an unexpected news.
"Why don't Miss Jialan come with us to Nanfengzhou?" The hall master asked Ni Daqiang to invite Lorraine Hill.
"Did something happen?" Lorraine Hill asked curiously.
"Yes, a lot of things have happened in the door recently, and I only got the news this morning." After speaking, he took out a letter and showed it to Lorraine Hill.
The thing in the letter is not a secret, but a convening order from the main hall of the Tuoshi Hall. All the branch halls and helms in various places must send representatives to go, and it is best to be the head of the hall.
"Did the master pass away?" Lorraine Hill looked at the text above and whispered.
"That's right, the old sect master is more than one hundred and ten years old. When I started, he was the leader of the school, and later he taught me a lot..." Looking back on the past, the hall master was full of emotion, time has passed It's been half a hundred.
"The death of the immortal is also expected by everyone, but I didn't expect it to be at this special point." He tapped the envelope on the table with his fingers, and then talked about the current status of Tuoshitang.
"A month ago, Panlong sent someone to make peace with us, and made certain concessions, with a sincere attitude."
"At that time, there were two opinions in the sect. Some people didn't want to stop because many brothers died in the fight, but some people suggested that they just accept the peace. After all, if the fight continues, it will be bad for both parties. If it grows too big, it may even attract a warning from the dynasty government."
"The old sect master means that we can make peace, but we need to invite people from 'Bailu Qixuanwu' to be a witness. After all, they are the oldest and most influential sect in southern Twenty-two Continents. "
"After this condition was put forward, the Panlong Society did not respond immediately, and seemed to be hesitating. At this time, someone in the door said that the other party was obviously insincere, and maybe it was deliberately delaying time. Gather good hands to support."
"This does make sense. Most of the borders that are contested today are in the southern Twenty-two Continents, far away from their old nest."
"Some people in the door were a little impatient, thinking that they would be treated as a fool's joke if they waited any longer. If the good guys go around in circles, their reputation will be gone after that."
"So we fought again, but I don't want the old sect master to wait for the response from the Panlong Society, his body can no longer hold on."
"Now it's not just a question of successors, but also a question of supporting the continued fight with Panlong, or making peace."
"So in order to compete for the position of the sect master, or to give a satisfactory result to everyone, did the head hall send you a summons letter this time?" Lorraine Hill responded.
"Yes." He looked up at the smart girl.
"This feels a bit dangerous. You all rush to Nanfengzhou, in case Panlong will come to **** the territory at this time."
"Well, Ms. Jialan doesn't need to worry, at least within two months, will Panlong act."
"Oh, because?"
"Bailu Qixuanwu issued a circular to suspend this battle for February, and they will also send people to mourn the old sect master."
"Will Panlong just be so obedient?" Lorraine Hill asked curiously.
"Although they don't listen to all of them, I don't think they will refute Bailu Qixuanwu's face for such a trivial matter."
"Miss Jialan is from the middle of the dynasty. I don't know anything about it. The twenty-two continents in the south of us were all blessed by swans in ancient times. There are temples for the white phoenix and swan in every state. The prestige of the phoenix with five virtues It is extremely high, and 'Bailu Qixuanwu' is Honghu's direct succession, and he also controls most of the witches' sacrifices in the south, even the government needs the assistance of 'Bailu Qixuanwu' in some matters."
"That's why I said, will Panlong risk the world's displeasure and attack during the mourning period for this matter."
White Phoenix and Honghu...
For some reason, Lorraine Hill recalled the scene she once saw in Dorothy's memory. The phoenix witch, dressed in a white dress and holding a paper umbrella, stood quietly, her figure was extremely weak and distant.
At that time, Qingluan and Dianji had passed away in the chaos and disaster, only three of the five phoenixes remained, and Honghu was also extremely weak, almost falling into a deep sleep.
I don't know if that Honghu is still there now. If I can see her, I can probably know many old things in the East.
At the end of the "Sun of the Wings of God", after the crowns of the sun and the moon were broken, two of the remaining seven virtues had oriental-style names, one was 'Wa' and the other was ' Xing', the dragon veins in the mountains and rivers of the Eastern Continent, and the secret realm of the cave, may be their arrangement.
From the disappearance of the God Winged Sun to the birth of the Phoenix Witch, in this long period of time, how did the Eastern Continent come to be? It stands to reason that there should have been humans living at that time, but there were very few and did not dominate. .
These thoughts in his mind turned around, and Lorraine Hill asked.
"That is to say, if you go directly to Nanfengzhou this time, you will be able to meet the person I am looking for."
"Yes, he has at least the fifth rank now, so he must also be invited." The hall master explained.
"Well, let's leave today and tomorrow." I didn't expect that I had to go to Nanfengzhou after a small circle in the southern states. It seemed that I was destined to go this time.
Nanfengzhou, the most prosperous county in the twenty-two southern continents, has many ports and prosperous commerce. Many chambers of commerce have set up their headquarters here. Every day, ships with thousands of sails come in and out, bringing rare Western objects and shipping them out. Famous oriental porcelain products, etc.
On the second day, Lorraine Hill boarded a large painting boat on Taowuzhou and headed south along the river.
The blue waves are light and the scenery on both sides of the bank is changing layer by layer.
Taowuzhou is famous for its peach blossoms and peach trees, and to the south is Zheluozhou, which is the hometown of Yang Xuemo.
What is "Zheluo", that is, silk fabrics dyed with ocher powder. With the establishment of the dynasty and the development of various dyeing techniques, this dark red tone has gradually become less popular, so this place is no longer as prosperous as it used to be.
However, there is still a supernatural faction in the local area called "Red Zheluo". The members of this faction make a living by refining supernatural utensils, and their skills are exquisite, and they have a good reputation in several nearby continents.
A few days later, as the boat approached Nanfengzhou, more and more members of the Tuoshi Hall on the river, and then the head of the hall also hung up his own "Lion Biting Banner", a ferocious giant The lion opened its huge mouth with two sabre-toothed teeth, and below it was a big red fur gilded character, which read "Yu Luchen".
On the last day, Lorraine Hill was on the deck of the bow, watching with his own eyes more and more boats with lion-biting flags on the river, some as high as floors, and some with The long oars are uniform and extremely fast, and some boats are like sharp arrows piercing the waves, and they shuttle quickly through the water, which is amazing.
More and more branch rudders and branch members gathered on this river. The uniform black and red clothes are connected together, like a black dragon crossing the river, and countless passers-by on both sides of the river stop.
When these ships crowded the hundreds of meters wide river, their speed did not slow down much, but they still sailed without slowing down. The scene where thousands of ships are like a whole, flexible and unified, It surprised countless others.
But after seeing the lion flags hoisted on these ships, everyone felt that this seemed to be a matter of course. This is the demeanor that Tuoshitang should have.
As the view of the river gradually widens, it seems that the grand occasion of the estuary can be seen in the distance. Horizontal sails are distributed at the junction of the sky and the sea, soaked in the rays of the sun, and a mighty and magnificent atmosphere comes oncoming.
Tenths of masters from the Wantuo Lion Hall gathered here at the mouth of the sea. The fifth-level masters who were rare in the past seem to be everywhere here, with sun-tanned bronze skin, thick and powerful arms and arms. The thick and consistent chant, sweating like rain, exhaling into clouds, and heat waves hitting the face, make people feel like stepping into a lively and passionate world.
In addition to the tens of thousands of people from the main gate of Tuoshitang, there are also people from states and counties in the southern twenty-two continents who came to express their condolences. today.
Big drums on the bow of the ship were sounded, from the chaos at the beginning to the gradual order at the back, the sound of the drums was passionate, and many visitors who came from afar walked on the deck, as if they could feel it from the trembling of the wooden boards under their feet. own heartbeat.
The sound of the drums is one piece, shaking this huge city of millions of people, like a lion roaring, and the waves are endless, which makes everyone who steps on the river bank ready to express their condolences tremble ~IndoMTL.com~ can't help but feel heartbroken Live in awe.
Lorland Hill stepped off the boat amidst the lively and exciting drumbeats, and walked towards the gate of the Natuo Lion Hall step by step with everyone.
As far as the eye can see, a wide mountain gate stands on the mountainside facing the river, with towering giant trees over 100 meters high on both sides, and surrounded by two trees stands a huge archway with red walls and blue tiles, golden and purple. The plaque on the wall is written with three big characters "Tuoshitang".
Following the mountain gate, there are 108 unusually wide steps. On both sides of each step, there are three-meter-high gold and copper lions.
Now there is a member of Tuoshi Hall standing under the lions on each floor. Echoing, and then spreading through the tremor of the drum surface, this sound wave is like a sea wave, constantly washing away the largest city in the south of the dynasty.
Looking at the monstrous weather that is almost visible to the naked eye in this mountain gate, Lorraine Hill feels that he still underestimated the strength of the 'Tuoshitang' in the southern Twenty-two Continents. The sound waves are also enough to make people awe-inspiring.
