She Is Not a Witch Chapter 14: The lion rides the waves
As a guest, Lorraine Hill naturally didn't have to kneel and kowtow like Yu Luchen did. She picked up three sticks of incense, lit them on the candles, and bowed respectfully with the other guests who came together. The incense is inserted in the tripod.
There are many old people from Tuoshitang sitting in the lobby. They are of high seniority. Although their strength may not be as good as some younger generations, but because these people are still there, Tuoshitang still has a core of unified command.
It's just that such a situation can't last too long after all. Tuoshitang can't be without a sect master for a long time, and their command can't last too long.
After the worship, some visitors will leave after a short meeting, while some VIPs and guests with deep relationships will rest in the accommodation arranged in the Tuoshi Hall.
Because of the hall master Yu Luchen's confession, the staff of the main hall arranged for Lorraine Hill to a quiet place, where most of the women were women, and there were few men.
"Miss Jialan rest here first, the fellow you are looking for, let's check the roster of the main hall, we will probably know where it is tomorrow." Several people in the same group told Lorraine Hill.
"Thank you, I will trouble you then."
After that, Lorraine Hill took a walk in the courtyard and hills.
The area on this shore is larger than a small town, and it is the residence of Tuoshitang. There are about 100,000 people living here, and many of them rely on Tuoshitang for their livelihood.
Some are accountants and helpers in the shops and branches of Tuoshitang, and some are members of the chamber of commerce who specialize in building ships, sewing clothes, and even weapons for the Tuoshitang organization. Although these people do not directly belong to Tuoshitang, But most of them are peripheral organizations that have a deep relationship with Tuoshitang.
Every door-to-door is a very large organization. Although the official disciples may be thousands or even less than a few hundred, the affiliates and factions that surround them are enough to span several continents and involve a wide range of people. Although Tuoshitang is not a door-to-door, it is still a fairly large faction.
Overlooking from the pavilion on the small hill, you can see the wide river below. The water is shining brightly, reflecting bursts of broken light in the sun. , docked one by one, and then docked the ship to the designated place.
Now the two banks are full of boats from all over the world, and there are people walking up and down from time to time, which can be described as lively.
Just as Lorraine Hill was sitting in the pavilion admiring the river view, slight footsteps came slowly from behind.
"Is this sister here to enjoy the scenery too?" A greeting came from behind.
Lorraine Hill looked back, and saw a lady in white silk brocade gown walking over, followed by four servant girls.
"Yes, I just arrived, come and sit here for a while." Lorraine Hill nodded, and then touched Dai Ju who was squatting in his arms with his hand.
Now the little guy is about the size of two hens and sits like a fluffy pompom on the girl's lap.
"Is this a girl raised? It looks so cute." She was surprised by the girl's appearance, but she started talking about the fat bird in the girl's arms.
"I raised it, um, this guy is just a little lazy." Lorraine Hill reached into the feathers, felt the little guy's fat body, and shook his head slightly.
"Hehe, this is not a bad thing. My husband used to give me a puppy, which was cute when I was young. Unfortunately, when I grew up, because I was too lively, I couldn't stay by my side. Later, I just gave it to me. Friends." She walked into the pavilion and sat down slowly, while the maidservants behind her stood guard outside the pavilion.
"Can I get closer and touch it?" The lady seemed to be fascinated by cute things, and she looked at the girl in the white dress hopefully.
"Hmm... yes." Although a little surprised, the girl still nodded.
"Jijiu."
When Dai Ju heard this, she opened her sleeping eyes, looked at the lady in front of her, looked up at Lorraine Hill above her head, moved her feet, and continued to squat down again.
Looking at it like this, it seems a little unhappy, thinking that it cannot be touched casually, but after all, it is Lorraine Hill's words, and it is not easy to refute, so it has to move its body to express it.
"Hehe, it seems that it still has a bit of a temper." The lady smiled and stopped reaching out her hand.
Then, the lady also turned her eyes to the scenery outside the pavilion, looking at the lively river scene below.
"Where is my sister from, she seems to be very interested in the scenery here."
"I'm probably from Minzezhou. I just stayed in the western continent for a long time, and now it's the first time I've come to Nanfengzhou."
"It seems that the girl's life is also very exciting." The lady praised slightly.
"Why do you say that?" Lorraine Hill blinked.
"Because a girl with a face like yours is not something ordinary people can do alone."
"That's it." Lorraine Hill recalled his own experience, and it seemed to be true.
"Young girls in the dynasty, if they come from a good background, they will be surrounded by a group of servants and maids since they were young. Although this way you don't have to do things yourself, it also makes you less comfortable." She explained simply.
"Before I married my husband, I hardly ever went out of the house. Occasionally, I just went to school with girls of the same age, and there were almost all girls there."
"After I got married, because my husband was doing business everywhere, I also traveled around with him. Fortunately, most of my business is transported by boat, so I don't have to worry about the turbulence of carriages and horses."
"After giving birth to a child, because the family business grew bigger and bigger, I also had to help manage some things, and then I experienced more."
"The atmosphere in Nanfengzhou, compared to the other continents within the dynasty, is quite lenient and likable. You can occasionally see some women doing business here, but if you change it to the continents within the dynasty, this will be rejected. People despise her, and even say some very bad things." She shook her head slightly, feeling the difference in the environment.
"But I seem to have seen some women who hold positions in important institutions." Lorraine Hill remembered the friend from the Marigold Xuanhua Mansion.
"Your sister is probably talking about the disciples of the Dapai. That's different from ordinary people." She explained.
"I have been to many states and counties. Although everyone did not clearly explain and distinguish them, they roughly divide people into three categories. The first category is normal men who work at home, travel outside or do business. Humans are ordinary women, who have to help the family share the burden since they were young, and when they grow up, they marry and serve their husbands and take care of their children. Like me, even if the family background is good, there are still many restrictions. Feel free to show your face, behave dignified and so on."
"The third category is different. If you are an official disciple of the Dapai, those who are registered in the register can travel with a sword at will, and the governments of various places will give them a certain amount of respect. Even women will not If you are despised by others, outsiders will treat you the same as those who have fame, and will not neglect you."
"So, for a long time, I have envied such a person. Ever since I had a child, I also thought about which school I would send her to study in the future, to see if she could be accepted."
"But I also know that some things depend on fate. I had a sister who was also an inner sect disciple of a big sect back then. Unfortunately, the child didn't inherit her talent. In the end, she had to go to a small sect, but it was not bad. Already."
"How does my sister feel in the west? Is there a big difference from ours?"
"Western Continent, if it was before, it would be about the same. Generally, only the children of nobles and rich merchants can get a good education. In terms of knowledge monopoly, it is even worse than the East." Lorraine Hill shook his head.
In the Eastern Dynasty, even poor families can rely on hard work and struggle to enter a faction like Tuoshitang, and then earn a share of the world by themselves, but ordinary families in the Western Continent cannot obtain extraordinary knowledge at all, nor can they I don't know how to practice and condense the extraordinary core.
Perhaps because of this, in terms of the density and number of superhumans, the eastern dynasties have always been more than the western ones. Factions, large and small, are not only the inheritors of supernatural knowledge, but also professional organizations. Some of them are Cao Gang, some are doctors, and some are dyers. Such an organization integrating learning and practicality has filled many gaps under the dynasty's governance.
"However, the West has changed a lot now, and I can't explain a lot. If you have the opportunity, you can go there and have a look."
"Haha, thank you sister for your suggestion. I think it will take a few more years, and the child will be older before he can travel far."
After that, the two sat in the pavilion and chatted for a long time. The lady introduced to Lorraine Hill the persimmon tea, ice-cracked porcelain, and other things that are specialties in Nanfengzhou, and said that she could buy some when she left. Give it to a friend.
Because Nanfengzhou is the main trading point of the East and West Continents, facing the strong demand in the West Continent, many porcelain workshops simply migrated here, and after they were made, they were directly dragged on a ship and shipped to the West, saving a lot of transportation costs.
"Ice-cracked porcelain, the color is empty blue. After it is out of the oven, put it for a while, it will make a continuous crisp sound, like a wind chime, and the cracked lines on the bottom of the enamel are uniform and beautiful, like ice flowers, which is very attractive. Like it."
"Speaking of which, my husband went to the branch of the Ice Porcelain Sect this morning, and he will probably bring back a batch of good samples when he returns late in the afternoon. What yard does my sister live in? Someone will send you a box."
"This...then thank you, sister." Lorraine Hill wanted to refuse, but he couldn't live up to the lady's kindness and enthusiasm, so he nodded and mentioned the yard where he was resting.
Just give her a gift in return. Speaking of which, I also brought some special products from the Western Continent, and it's useless to put them in the storage space anyway.
After the situation in the empire stabilized, she traveled to many places. Sometimes she saw good things and bought a lot, which gradually accumulated. Of course, the most of them belonged to the Emerald Forest. thing.
Not only Vestena, the elf queen, but also Aihe Katri gave a lot of things when she left.
"My name is Ran Yinan, what's my sister's name?"
When it was time to part, the lady only asked the girl's name. It seemed that she didn't do it on purpose, but she really remembered it at this time.
"Call me Jialan." Lorraine Hill replied with a smile seeing the innocent and innocent look of this lady.
"Good name~" She gave a thumbs up, and then covered her mouth and smiled again.
Afterwards, the two went down the mountain, walked together for a short while, and finally parted rather reluctantly.
"See you next time~" Ran Yinan waved his hand and walked down the hill.
Looking at the lady leading the maid to a distant courtyard, Lorraine Hill felt that such a person is rare. Even after being married for many years, she still maintains a naive and romantic feeling, without utilitarianism and prejudice and others Many things are shared.
After staying with this lady for a whole morning, Lorraine Hill's mood improved a lot. This time, he learned a lot of things that he didn't know before from other people.
The Plantagenet Dynasty was both conservative and open. Conservative lies in the government of the dynasty. There are more rules and scruples. Openness lies in various factions in the world. The existence of these factions has also filled in many places that cannot be taken care of under the dynastic system, so that order exists and the world will not be in chaos.
Even in Minze Continent, in those remote areas in the swamps and mountains, there are still caravans patrolling periodically, exchanging goods, and the local factions send people to deal with the chaotic monsters and aliens, the blood sacrifice monsters that were popular in ancient times, Now it is almost invisible, and the world is generally in a stable and stable state.
'What about the prosperous dynasty? ’
The girl stood on the hillside near the river, looking at the dusk, the countless lights and boat shadows on both sides of the bank, the sound of silk and bamboo music, incense and smoke, a bustling scene, whispering softly.
The next day.
After getting up, Lorraine Hill went to the window, washed his face with clean water, and looked at himself in the mirror. His black hair hung down, his eyes were light gold, and a red scale appeared on his forehead, exuding a faint glow. A soft halo, followed by a slight mist of water, and a shallow mist of water appeared in the eyes, as if there was a faint golden-red light and shadow swimming like a fish.
It's already Dragon Sequence 5, the girl whispered softly.
Dragon's Sequence 5. Water Mist Red Ray, in Qianlong Dao, the position of the dragon sacrifice school, if it is outside, a fifth-order dragon witch like a girl can be a county's land consecratory, in charge and control the local dragon veins and storms .
However, if Lorraine Hill does such a thing, even the wind and rain of a continent or even a country can guide and regulate, and his own talent, crown blessing, and the status of the golden bird witch canonized by the dynasty will be greatly increased her abilities in this area.
After this time is over, let's go to Luojing. Speaking of which, it's time to meet that senior Chifeng, and I don't know if this senior witch is out of customs now, or is still in dormancy as before.
Walking out of the door, Lorraine Hill walked down the stairs on the hill, and occasionally saw other female guests who came out along the way. The sound soon became lively again.
Compared to yesterday, there are more boats on both sides of the strait today, and boats from Tuoshitang have already been waiting on the river. There are ten people rowing on each boat, and one of them stands with his hands behind his back, his eyes wide open. Looking at the mountain gate in the distance.
On the bank below the mountain gate, old men in black and red clothes stood. They first burned incense to worship the sky, and then one of them stepped forward and announced loudly.
"Tuo lion rides the waves, mighty and unparalleled, if you want to convince the brothers in the door, you should use your own skills!"
After finishing speaking, he stuck a golden lion's bite spear in the middle of the high platform, causing shouts from the bank and the river.
"Tuo lion rides the waves, mighty and unparalleled!"
"Tuo lion rides the waves, mighty and unparalleled!"
"Tuo lion rides the waves, mighty and unparalleled!"
"Tuo lion rides the waves, mighty and unparalleled!"
Thousands of members of Tuoshitang gathered here. They were on both sides of the mountain, looking at the figures on the river who were ready to go, waiting for the final winner today. As the leader of Tuoshitang The new head of the sect, he must rely on his own strength to defeat all the powerful fellow sects under the eyes of everyone, so as to gain everyone's approval and become the new 'Lion King'.
Tuo lions are as powerful as they are riding the waves. Only the most staunch and mighty lions can lead this group of heroic people.
In this way, the drums sounded again, and the boats on the river began to paddle. This water wave and the swaying rowing boat compete with each other. If they fall into the water, they will lose. The winner will continue to move forward until the last person reaches the bank of the mountain gate, holds the lion-biting gold spear, and becomes the new generation of gate master.
Standing under the sloping willow on the bank, Lorraine Hill looked far away, and finally saw the familiar figure from before.
Yu Baichou is now holding a long knife like an oar, stepping on the boat, fighting with his opponents in a splash of golden water.
Golden cries and roars are endless, the water boat is ups and downs, you come and go, setting off pieces of water mist and air waves.
Compared to the past, there are more beards on Yu Baichou's face now, and in the twisting of the golden and bronze arm muscles, waves of fierce air burst out, as powerful as mountains.
Uncle Yu is also a Sequence 6.
Sequence of War 6. Golden Fierce Spear, even in the sixth rank, it is quite difficult to be promoted. It seems that he has already passed the most difficult hurdle.
"Victory!" Shouting angrily, Yu Baichou swung his bent spear and hit the opponent's blade and was shocked. Afterwards, the opponent flew into the water with the knife, declaring defeat.
After that, he kept walking, leaping several times on the river surface ~IndoMTL.com~ and rushed towards each opponent again, the sound of water waves and weapons clashing resounded on the river surface again.
There are more than one such scenes. There are nearly a thousand boats on the river, going down the river, and the masters of Tuoshitang on the boats come and go. The duel is extremely fierce. Each of them represents a continent. The branch forces of a county jumped up in the collision of sailing boats, fought on the deck and on the water surface, and decided the winners one by one, and then continued to move forward.
In this Tuoshi hall, many generals, hall masters, and rudder protagonists are chasing each other, and a group of special rowing boats also row down from the upper reaches.
"Haha, how can we be absent from such a grand event." These people are members of the Panlong Society, and they are standing at the bow of the boat in Tsing Yi with dragon patterns.
"My Panlong Club also has a hundred people to compete. If you win, you don't have any requirements, just be a member of the club. If you lose, you will give up all Qi Lei Qizhou to your faction. You can see how it is! Haha!"
Although it was suggested, the other party didn't care about Tuoshitang's answer at all, and also sent a rowing boat with a master of the Panlong Society on it, rushing into the group of Tuoshi's rowing boats middle.
The anger between the two factions has also reached the highest level at this moment.
