She Is Not a Witch
Vol 4 Chapter 12: The drums are loud, the waves are endless
"Yu's surname is not a common surname. Even if 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 to Luojing. When I returned, it was several months later. The butler at home said that when I was out, a colleague came to visit. It might be a relative of 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 the time."
"Then, after another two years, I heard from the housekeeper again that a fourth-tier expert from the same sect came to visit. 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 had just been seated as the hall master, and I was busy with business, 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 might have missed a good guy who I could make friends with."
"Then where is the person you mentioned now?"
"He should be in East Huzhou, which is close to the sea of wind and waves, where 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 get 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 move the wooden box where the letters were stored at home, and rummaged through them one by one, and finally found the two letters of greeting left by a hundred vendettas among a pile of old papers.
Lorraine Hill turned over the yellowed and even broken 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 transcribed by others after dictation, 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 already been away from home for nearly ten years, and gradually became estranged from his brothers at home. He was also alone outside without a family. He couldn't advance there for a long time, which made him, who was originally bold, a little disheartened, and then felt sad.
At that time, Yu Baichou wanted to see this senior with the same surname and see if he could get some advice. In the past, he would have disdained such begging behavior, but under the successive blows, Yu Baichou was a little out of balance , so made many different moves 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. His words were also very clear, he just said hello and introduced his intentions.
I heard from the steward of the mansion that when they returned the gift 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 words, and only then did he leave a little bit of trouble. 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 outstanding, but they are not rare, so I have not been impressed until now. Lorraine Hill came to look for him today, and after thinking about it carefully, he vaguely remembered such a person.
"So that's how it is." Lorraine Hill was slightly relieved to hear that Yu Baichou was not involved in the fierce "Fight of the Lion and the Dragon", 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 it is by the sea, so this continent is called Donghuzhou.
"Compared to other continents, the coast of Donghuzhou is more 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 with Nanfengzhou, which has a population of more than ten million, Donghuzhou has a pitifully small number of residents, less than one million, scattered in the inland and on the Shihu Mountain near the sea.
"The Sea of Storms and Waves is different from the Sea of Endless Seas. The sea is very windy and turbulent, and the weather is unpredictable. There are many sea beasts. Even though we know that passing through the Sea of Storms is the western world, no one takes this route, or there is no stable route at all. 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, and many people die every year. on the 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. It will be a lot more convenient along the way." Although he is recovering from his injuries, he has been the head of the Yizhou Hall for a long time, and he is also the "Red Lion General" in the faction. ', not a small face, can help this girl solve a lot of tedious mundane matters.
"Those 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 he looked over sixty, this man was still vigorous.
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 before leaving, I got an unexpected news.
"How about, Ms. Jialan should go to Nanfeng Continent with me." 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 matter 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 in his mouth.
"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 guided me a lot..." Looking back on the past, the hall master was filled with emotion, half a hundred years had passed.
"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. Maybe it will attract a warning from the government of the dynasty."
"The old sect master means that we can make peace, but we must invite people from 'Bailu Qixuanwu' to be a witness. After all, they are the oldest and most influential sect in the southern twenty-two continents."
"After this condition was put forward, the Panlong Society did not respond immediately, as if hesitating. At this time, someone in the door said that the other party was obviously insincere, and maybe it was deliberately delaying time and mobilizing experts from the old nest. support."
"It does make sense. Most of the borders that are contested today are in the southern Twenty-two Continents, far away from their old nest."
"Someone in the door is a little impatient, thinking that if they wait any longer, they will be treated as fools and jokes. In the future, if the outside world says that the 'Panlong Club' will use some tricks, they will bluff the more than 100,000 heroes of the 'Tuoshitang' If you turn around, you will lose your reputation from now on."
"So they fought again, but I didn't want the old sect master to wait for the response from the Panlong Society, and his body could 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 result that satisfies everyone, did the head hall send you all a summons letter this time?" Lorraine Hill responded.
"Yes." He looked up at the smart girl.
"This feels a little 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. Will Panlong make any moves in at least two months?"
"Oh, why?"
"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 didn't listen to everything, I don't think they will refute Bailu Qixuanwu's face just for such a trivial matter."
"Miss Jialan is from the middle part 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 phoenix of the five virtues has a high prestige among the people. 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?"
Is Baifeng Honghu...
For some reason, Lorraine Hill recalled the scene she once saw in Dorothy's memory. It was the last time Dorothy saw Honghu, who stood under the plane tree on the mountain of the Yellow Sea, mourning the gone Phoenix Witch. Wearing a white dress and a white skirt, holding a paper umbrella, she stands quietly, her figure is particularly 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 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 "God Winged Sun", after the crowns of the sun and the moon were broken, among the remaining seven virtues, there are two with oriental-style names, one is 'Wa', the other is 'Xing', Now 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 my 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'm looking for."
"Yes, he has at least the fifth rank now, so he must be one of the invited ones." 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 objects from the West and exporting porcelain from the East. Famous property and so on.
On the second day, Lorraine Hill boarded a large painting boat on Taowu Island 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. The mountains are layered, the waters are deserted, the fertile fields, ditches, and the scenery of various states are in sight.
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 ochre powder. With the development of various dyeing techniques, this dark red color is gradually no longer 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 the banner", a ferocious giant lion opened Below the huge mouth with two saber teeth, there are big red fur gilt characters, which say 'Yu Luchen'.
On the last day, Lorraine Hill was on the deck at the bow of the ship, watching with his own eyes more and more boats flying the lion's bite flag on the river, some as tall as floors, and some with long oars on both sides of the hull, Neat and uniform, extremely fast, and some sailing boats are like sharp arrows breaking through the waves, shuttling quickly through the water, which is amazing.
More and more branch rudders and branch members gathered on this river, and the uniform black and red clothes were connected together, like a black dragon crossing the river, making 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 were like a whole, flexible and unified, made countless others Surprised by it.
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 sun, and a mighty and magnificent atmosphere comes oncoming.
Tens of thousands 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. All of them have sun-tanned bronze skin, thick and powerful arms and arms, and they are thick and consistent when paddling. The 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 Tuoshitang's main gate, there are also people from states and counties in the southern twenty-two continents who came to express their condolences. Looking at the seamless sea of heads on both sides of the strait, at least 200,000 people gathered today.
The big drums on the bow of the ship were beaten, from the chaos at the beginning to the gradual order at the back, the drums were passionate, and many visitors who came from afar walked on the deck, as if they could feel their own heartbeats from the trembling of the wooden boards under their feet .
The sound of the drums was one piece, shaking this huge city with millions of people, like a lion roaring, and the waves of water were endless, making everyone who set foot on the river bank ready to express their condolences tremble~www.readwn.com~ couldn't help but feel heartbroken awe.
Lorraine Hill stepped off the boat amidst the lively and exciting drumbeat, 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. On both sides are towering giant trees with a height of 100 meters. Surrounded by the two trees, there stands a huge archway with red walls and blue tiles. There are three big characters "Tuoshitang" with flying dragons and phoenix dances.
Going down the mountain gate is one hundred and eight floors of unusually wide steps. On both sides of each step are three-meter-high golden and bronze lions.
Now there is a member of the Tuoshi Hall standing under the lions on each floor. They are all above the fourth rank, with bare arms, sweat rolling down, struggling to beat the sea beast drum in front of them, accompanied by the echo of Yuanli in the drum, and then After the drum surface trembled and spread, the sound waves were like ocean waves, 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. Enough to be awe-inspiring.
