Shrouding the Sky: The Empress Against the Immortals

Chapter 9
Time flies like an arrow.

In the blink of an eye, it has been a full year since Ling Song followed his elder brother to Baishan Village.

She is almost five years old.

He grew taller, and his two braids were longer.

The 11-year-old Ling Su grew faster and was half a head taller than before.

The strength is also getting bigger and bigger.

When you are full, you can lift the stone mill at the head of the village without changing your face.

This amazed the villagers, and at the same time showed a lot of enthusiasm for their brothers and sisters.

There are such "strong men" in the village, waiting for some robbers or bullying from neighboring villages, you need to weigh it.

This is good news for the whole village.

It's just that their enthusiasm is limited to lip service.

Everyone's life is very difficult, and there is nothing superfluous to please others.

The living conditions of the brothers and sisters this year are the portrayal of all the villagers in the village:

Even though Ling Su brought back two golden pheasants when he went hunting for the first time in the mountains, it was a good fortune.

But it doesn't mean that you can get something every time.

More often, they can only bring back some wild vegetables, mountain mushrooms and other mountain products.

Life is extraordinarily hard.

Sometimes, the brothers and sisters could only eat porridge with wild vegetables every day if they couldn't catch any prey for several days in a row.

It can't be too thick.

Otherwise, the corn at home would not last for a few days and would be eaten up.

On average, after a month, Ling Su can probably capture one wild goat, three or five wild rabbits, and several small animals like golden pheasants in the mountains.

When no prey is caught, a few eggs can be taken from the nest and brought back to cook in porridge.

For Ling Song, it was a very good extra meal.

Inexperienced, coupled with no powerful weapons at hand, it was difficult for Ling Su to catch large carnivores with only a bamboo bow.

Tigers, wolves, black jackals, leopards...

If you can't catch these things, you can't use their furs to go to the city to exchange for daily necessities such as corn, salt and tea.

Not to mention spending money tearing a few feet of cloth to make new clothes for Ling Song.

In this world, for many mortals, being able to have enough food every day is already a luxury.

……

Poor be poor.

Ling Song was very happy during the year he lived in Baishan Village.

Even though the clothes on her body can no longer fit, they are full of patches, and she even gets hungry from time to time, but she is still very satisfied.

After her elder brother Ling Su went hunting in the mountains, she went to the village to play with her peers.

In this way, when Ling Su came back, she would be able to see her brother immediately.

In the evening, the siblings eat together, and she has already learned how to wash dishes, so she will volunteer to do the washing and cleaning after dinner at night.

Occasionally when Ling Su was resting at home, Ling Song would pester his elder brother to play together.

Ghostface is their only toy.

But it doesn't matter, she and her elder brother can take turns wearing them to play, some seemingly childish little games, Ling Song can pester Ling Su to play from morning to night, it's a joy.

Ling Su never showed an expression of impatience.

They seem to be born to be a pair of brother and sister.

In this way, two years passed in a blink of an eye.

Ling Song is six years old.

Just had my birthday yesterday.

She actually didn't remember her own birthday, so Ling Su fixed her birthday on the day they met for the first time in Qushui City.

Three years is enough to change many things,

For example, Ling Su has gradually had the potential to become the strongest hunter in the village. For example, Ling Song has learned how to mend clothes, wash clothes and cook.

What remains unchanged is that she is still extremely dependent on her brother.

Whenever Ling Su goes hunting in the mountains, or sells mountain products in the city, she will play around the village all day long, waiting for Ling Su to come back.

This afternoon, Ling Song played with his friends at the entrance of the village as usual.

When several children were having fun, one of the little boys suddenly pointed to the distance and shouted to everyone:
"Look, there's a rainbow!"

Four or five little radish heads all looked in the direction of the little boy's finger.

I saw a few colorful rainbows in the sky in the distance extending towards the village at a speed visible to the naked eye.

To be precise, it is flying toward existence.

"Those rainbows are so beautiful, they are still flying towards us, so amazing, do you know what they are?" A little girl stood beside Ling Song, her eyes wide open, full of curiosity.

"Sister Xiaoxuan, those are not rainbows, they are immortal masters." Ling Song said.

She is also looking at the "rainbows" that are galloping intently.

Ling Song clearly remembered that three years ago, when she and her elder brother had just left Qushui City, they had seen this kind of rainbow outside the city.

Back then, those rainbows flew low.

She saw the marks left by someone flying over it, so she asked old man Pei with a black beard if those people were immortals.

"Isn't the fairy teacher very powerful? I heard from Uncle Zhang that those fairy teachers are all immortals living in the sky." The little girl named Xiaoxuan was only half a year older than Ling Song, and her voice was very immature.

"I don't know." Ling Song shook his head lightly.

At this time, another little boy yelled strangely: "Ah, look quickly, the fairy master seems to have fallen towards us."

I saw that the flying Changhongs were originally flying at a height of nearly three hundred feet above the ground, but when they were about to fly over the village, the four Changhongs suddenly fell straight down.

brush brush...

In an instant, a blazing divine light descended from the sky.

In the next breath, the brilliance receded, and several figures came into Ling Song's eyes.

Three of them were dressed gorgeously, wearing blue silk feather coats made of Yunjintian silk, and the leader wore a purple gold crown, exuding a powerful aura.

The other two were markedly different.

One has a rough face, dark complexion, and is wearing a forged double-breasted black shirt.

The last one was even more ordinary.

The clothes are no different from the ordinary mountain people in the village. He looks like an ordinary mountain man, and his face is full of panic at this time.

"This is Baishan Village?" asked the middle-aged man wearing a purple gold crown, his eyes were like lightning.

"Yes... Lord Immortal Master, this is here, this is Baishan Village." The mountain man nodded quickly, trembling, speaking incoherently,

After getting an affirmative answer, one of the long-faced men dressed in black silk feathers raised his hand and beckoned to Ling Song and the others.

"Little baby, come here." The tone was a little cold.

Although the little radishheads were a little scared, they were naturally suppressed and did not dare to disobey this kind of gorgeously dressed and extraordinary figure.

Ling Song and several other friends all pursed their lips, and cautiously approached a few steps.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Ling Song asked.

"Is there a young man named Ling Su in this village?" the long-faced man asked indifferently.

As soon as these words came out, the little fellows showed strange expressions and looked at Ling Song in unison.
