She Is Not a Witch
Vol 4 Chapter 21: flickering warm flame
In the attic, Lorraine Hill listened to the disciple of Mingyue Dingxin Palace talk about some past events, such as the ancient story of "white birds living by water", the three big cities proposed along the river, and the development of These three countries are the origin of today's Southern Twenty-two Continents.
"Miss Jialan, do you know about the 'Battle of Xinbai'?" Man Mingshi asked during the banquet.
"Never heard of it."
"This is also normal, because most of the records about these things were lost when the dynasty was established, and the dynasty also deliberately prevented everyone from remembering some old things."
"In the past, the clans of Youxin and Lei Xiaze from Moxia Continent united and went south to conquer Baize Kingdom. Baize Kingdom was defeated and asked for help from Lieyi Kingdom and Donghai Kingdom in the south. After that, Youxin Kingdom also came to mow Lei Qizhou The different races in the Hundred Thousand Mountains are helping each other, and the two sides fought in the Tafeng Field, resulting in countless casualties."
"In this battle, although the Three Kingdoms of Linnan finally repelled Youxin's attack, they were also seriously injured, and Youxin, who was originally on the rise, had to return to Qilei Qizhou, where most of the vicious insects and poisonous swamps were lost. , Lost the opportunity to grow."
"Since the passing away of Xuan Feng Dian, the poisonous swamp of Qi Lei Qizhou has spread again. As a result, the few veins left by Xuan Feng Dian have slowly withered, and they have to migrate to other places, or slowly decline."
"In the respective inheritances of the five phoenixes, this is also the case. The lineage of the phoenix has the least number of people, and now there is no one who shows up in the world."
"Isn't there even a family descendant?" Lorraine Hill asked slightly surprised.
"Yes."
"Among the existing five phoenixes, the Chifeng is naturally the most, followed by the Qingluan five veins, then the four branches of the phoenix, and then our two branches of the swan. As for the orthodoxy left by the phoenix, it has been fragmented. Only Some loose pies."
"After the chaotic catastrophe, the mountains and rivers were shattered, and monsters were rampant everywhere. During that time, many past inheritances were lost and dissipated."
"It will be more than a hundred years after all the tribes in the world regain their vitality, and then there will be the story of the rise of the four countries of Chiyao, Huoque, Jinhua, and Honglin, because the four countries are all the inheritance of Chifeng, customs, customs, and customs. They were similar, and later merged into one country under the mediation of Chifeng, which is also the predecessor of the current dynasty."
"This is the reason why the royal surnames of today's dynasty are not unique. The four surnames Ling, Heng, Xiao, and Luo are all royal families of the four kingdoms in the past."
…
During the banquet, Lorraine Hill slowly learned some of the secrets of the establishment of the dynasty, and lamented the strength of Chifeng back then, able to unite so many forces from all sides and form an alliance on the mountain of the Yellow Sea.
In fact, apart from the five phoenixes, there are many factions established by "Flying Immortals" from various places. Many of them have been passed down to the present, and they are one of the most powerful sects in the world. Valley', I've heard of such as 'Nagarjuna Blood Exhaustion Sect', 'Tiger Roaring Nine Barren Mountains', etc., as well as the 'Red Immortal Sect' which was once glorious but now declining.
But now, several branches of Chifeng's lineages have been integrated into the government of the dynasty, so among the families belonging to the Five Phoenixes' lineage, Qingluan's lineage is the most, and there are five schools, namely "Qinglian Xijian Palace". Hanshan Yanxingmen''Biluo Xiaoyao Palace''Lu Ningran Bifang''Green Pine Peacock Mountain''.
Going down, it is the scorpion, which is the inheritance left by Dorothy, because Dorothy was busy in the Western Continent at the time, and the few veins on the east side were passed on by her friend "The Immortal of Red Chun". The Scorching Sun Xiangyu faction that Lorraine Hill belongs to, and the "Fenxiang Guanxingfu", "Ning Zizhao Night Palace" and "Autumn Twilight Copper Dragon Valley" separated from the Xiangyu faction.
In this way, several people chatted about the origin of today's world, and some old past events, and they didn't disperse until the moon was setting and the stars were sinking, and the night was silent.
That night, Lorraine Hill stayed in the mansion for a while, and talked about many things in the next day, and the three of them gradually became familiar and cordial.
When it was almost dusk, Lorraine Hill bid farewell to the two friends who had kindly retained him, and the boat that got on board gradually went away in the small river of the ancient town.
Standing by the river to bid farewell to the two, they watched the figure of the girl in white disappear from sight, and after a long time, they turned around and returned home.
"What do you think of Miss Jialan?" Man Mingshi asked the young head of Bailu Qixuan Fang next to her.
"I can't see through, so it's hard to comment." He walked in front, with his hands behind his back, shaking his head slightly.
"When she came to the mansion, I knew it immediately, but I still dragged on to observe with you from a distance for a long time before I decided to meet her."
"You and I both know Zhu Xuanyi's strength. Although he only brought three huge floating boats that day, he relied on the elite disciples of the Yanxingmen, the special green dragon formation, and the skills of various organs on the giant boats. Blessing, it is completely enough to conquer a weaker family."
"But even so, he was defeated by Miss Jialan."
"I didn't want to believe such absurd rumors, but there were hundreds of thousands of people testifying at the scene, and the Yanxingmen also retreated on their own, which all proved the truth of the matter."
"So, when this Miss Dragon Witch came to visit, I didn't know how to deal with it, so I had to drag you here with me to save face and make the other party feel a little bit more scrupulous."
"Hehehe~" Man Mingshi covered her mouth and laughed.
"I didn't expect Jiang Zuo, who is called 'Han Lu Jian', senior brother Jiang, to panic at times. I didn't notice it at the time."
"At that time, when I saw your calm and composed expression, I thought that Miss Jialan's visit had been expected. Luckily, I was relieved to follow you here."
"Tsk tsk, it seems that since the death of Master Xuan, no one in Qixuanfang can see through your inner activities." The master Xuan they said was the former head of Bailu Qixuanfang, but now he has passed away. gone.
"However, I chatted with her a lot, and I feel that this young lady is easy to get along with, as long as you don't make her angry."
"So, the key is how do I know whether to provoke her or not. Ever since I stepped into Bailu Qixuanfang, I, Jiang Zaisu, have never tried to please others. Over the years, I haven't seen anyone who can make me humble, even if it's Master. , Back then, I was mostly praised, and rarely scolded." Jiang Zaisu shook his head, he was a genius that attracted much attention since he was a child, and now he is in charge of the door, there is no reason for him to bend down to please others.
"Fortunately, you are our guest this time, otherwise I really don't know how to entertain Miss Jialan."
"That's all, let's not talk about it, Mingshi, did you see something? I saw you chatted with her for a long time, and occasionally whispered a few words."
"Me, I can see something, but I dare not say it."
"Oh, what's that?" Jiang Zaisu was suddenly interested, so he stopped.
"This Miss Jialan may be a 'goddess', that is, an existence similar to Wufeng."
"'Goddess'..." Jiang Zaisu walked again, but his pace was very slow, recalling some records in the pie while walking.
"It is said that those 'goddesses' who are immortal are the original 'immortals', different from the 'flying immortals' who cultivate themselves, the 'cave immortals' who rely on the secret realm of the cave, and the ghostly and invisible 'wandering immortals'. Naturally powerful, he can even touch the Dao of Heaven, master a law of the Dao of Heaven, and use it for himself, similar to a god, and because of this, he can be called an 'immortal'."
In the legends of the East, there are immortal beings who live on the ethereal mountains, and people collectively call such existences "immortals". , divided "immortals" into several categories. Later, some sages taught under the banyan tree, teaching disciples how to climb the ladder to become immortals.
"No wonder she looks so young, but she is so powerful, she can defeat many disciples of Yanxingmen by herself." Jiang Zaisu said slowly.
"Back then, Chifeng made an alliance with the immortals on the mountain of the Yellow Sea. A 'goddess' like her should abide by the way of avoiding the world and not easily interfere in the world. I don't want to break it easily now. No wonder I didn't think of this before. .”
Man Mingshi followed Jiang Zaisu's pace and continued to add.
"I don't see her breaking it on purpose, but rather innocent and romantic without knowing it."
"Perhaps this 'Goddess' just woke up not long ago and doesn't know the covenant of the Yellow Sea Mountain. She didn't make an oath, so naturally she doesn't have to abide by the covenant."
"A 'goddess' who is not bound by the alliance, this is really an accident." Jiang Zaisu seemed to sigh.
"It's not a bad thing. If the collapse is imminent today, if someone can come out to take charge of the universe and recreate the old things of the five phoenixes, everyone will respect him as a phoenix and renew the alliance. It is also possible."
"Now, we have shown our kindness. If that day comes, Miss Jialan will remember us."
The figures of Man Mingshi and Jiang Zaisu stepped into the mansion in the ancient town again, and soon the gate was slowly closed, only the tall and shady plane tree still stretched its branches and leaves in the sun, swaying slightly in the wind.
It was planted by Honghu in the past, but now it is as graceful as a cover.
———
After leaving Bailu Qixuanwu, Lorraine Hill walked north along the river, all the way through.
On the way, you can see big cities and small towns dotted along the banks of the river. After staying away from the river, there is a large piece of wilderness. The vast wilderness is full of withered yellow and green weeds. Sometimes you may go forward There is not a single family in sight for more than ten miles, only the extremely lonely path in the wilderness winding faintly in the withered and yellow wilderness.
Even such trails are left by generations of caravans traveling from north to south.
Between the twenty-two continents in the south and the Qiilei seven continents, there is such a large area of wilderness, and only a few waterways pass through the places that will be more prosperous.
It is said that in the past, Xin Guoguo led various tribes in the Hundred Thousand Mountains to conquer the south, and among them was a nine-headed snake with yellow scales. The blood flowed and poisoned for hundreds of miles made this wilderness unsuitable for human habitation. Only weeds can grow. If other crops are planted, they will either wither and die, or be inedible.
As dusk approached, the sky gradually darkened.
Lorraine Hill looked at the barren wilderness that was still not at the end, and stopped in his footsteps.
The sky gradually turned to a cold light blue, and the setting sun in the distance approached the horizon, and the orange-red afterglow became hazy and dim in the shadow of the weeds, getting darker and darker, and occasionally a few lonely owls rang overhead.
Looks like we'll have to spend the night here tonight.
Lorraine Hill looked around back and forth, found a relatively dry and flat place, and then took out the tent that had not been used for a long time from the storage space, set it up on the ground, and then started the fire.
At this time, it was pitch black all around.
The crackling bonfire in front of him seemed to be the center of the world and everything. The crimson fire flickered, bringing some warmth and sound, breaking the darkness and silence around him.
Sitting by the bonfire, Lorraine Hill took off his shoes, put his feet on the wooden board in front of the bonfire, relaxed and moved a little, and then looked at the flame in front of him with his knees crossed.
The surrounding area is very quiet. Not only are there no wild beasts out for food, there are no insects even chirping. No wonder no one lives here.
However, she has not enjoyed this peaceful and peaceful state for some time.
With his body pressed on his knees, Lorraine Hill tilted his head slightly, his eyes were illuminated by the fire, crystal and swaying, staring at the bonfire in front of him in a daze, letting his thoughts drift slowly.
"Apocalypse"
After a while, she slowly stretched out her wrist, looking at the white and slightly slender fingers, the subtle lines in the palm of the hand, and the little hair on the back of the hand, all clearly visible in the firelight.
The firelight brings warmth, but there is a bit of coldness behind it.
Since I came to this world, decades have passed without knowing it, which is about half of the life of an ordinary person.
My body still hasn't changed much, and even my appearance is still in the state of waking up at that time. Looking back now, I suddenly feel a little unreal.
Everything in the Western Continent, whether it is the rise of Clancia, the rich and interesting school life, the turbulent and upheaval civil strife in the empire, each is a long and full of memories. Friends, students, and old people are here. Over the past few decades, some have gradually grown and matured, some have changed their personalities, and some have been lying in a corner forever, being gradually forgotten by people.
But unlike them, I don’t seem to have changed much. Maybe one day in the future, these friends and old friends will be old and wrinkled, walking in the yard with a cane, and I am still sixteen or seventeen. years old.
At first, she liked the talent of eternal youth and longevity, but now, she felt a faint sense of panic.
Mortals will eventually fall asleep and end the curtain, but she is different as a witch, she will not fall down because of time, she will only fight against herself again and again in the long time, and persuade herself to live.
At first, this was something that could be done instinctively without thinking, but now Lorraine Hill has gradually become aware of the panic and confusion under the word eternity.
She has been running around in the Western Continent for the future of the world for more than ten years, and finally ended that chaotic world, and now she has come to the Eastern Continent~www.readwn.com~ Unexpectedly, she still encountered this coming chaotic world.
Difficulties and things to be accomplished seem to have no end in sight, and there will never be an end to stop. If it is a mortal, he will stop at a certain time, and others will recognize this stop.
However, as a witch, without this stop sign, she can only go on endlessly along the track of life.
She has poured a lot of emotion and experience into the affairs of the Western Continent, but now that she has come to the East, does it mean that she has to repeat what she has experienced? Compared with the relatively clear Western Continent Empire, the Eastern Dynasty has a wider territory. The situation will be more complicated. Just thinking about it for a while, Lorraine Hill feels a sense of powerlessness and insignificance.
Going up the tall building alone, looking at the end of the world, at the end of the end, will there be a day when you can stop and rest, or is it boundless.
The warm bonfire is still shaking in the night, a little churning wood ash floats in the firewood, and there is a faint smell of smoke and fire.
The girl was sitting by the campfire, her eyes were slightly closed, her breathing gradually calmed down, and she entered into a peaceful nap.
