The season in this valley is spring all the year round. Facing the dual test of hellfire and snow, the Wood has still found an opportunity to survive in cracks. Otherwise, the spirit herb “green light flower” can’t grow there.
And this place is so close to the grassland…
Crossing the exit of the valley, it is the vast Snow Mountains. At the foot of these mountains, it is the Naqu grassland in hibernation. It’s not a good idea for Ze Yitong to meet others. Because she has lost an arm, and if inconsiderate people tease her or even treat her improperly, it will have an indelible impact on the little girl’s growth.
So Lin Luoran wants to bear Essence in this valley covered by dense fog in half a year. Then she will take Ze Yitong home after curing her arm.
“Ajia, are we going to stay here for a long time?”
With a bunch of delicious grapes in her hand, Ze Yitong follows Lin Luoran, watching her bustling around the cave.
Lin Luoran awakened her and promised to make her arm regrow. Knowing these, the little girl can bear the effects of the uncertainty more easily. Besides, Ze Yitong has seen the talking wolf with her own eyes. She has also seen that Lin Luoran takes out different delicious food from nowhere every day like magic. For the promise of regrowing her broken arm, the little girl also becomes more confident.
Lin Luoran flattens and enlarges the entrance of the cave. This natural cave with a hot spring pool will be Ze Yitong’s bedroom in the next half year. She is a human girl walking upright, which is totally different from the wolf of the Wood which can just go through walls. The entrance of this cave is too small for her.
“No. Most of the time you will live here alone. Ze Yitong, do you have enough courage to do it?” Lin Luoran weaves soft fine grass into a straw mat. Stepping on it with barefoot is cool and soft. She also hunts for two pieces of wolf skins so if Ze Yitong occasionally goes out to play, she will not feel cold.
Ze Yitong raises her head high, “Of course I have. I’m the daughter of the grassland!”
Lin Luoran smiles and encourages her. Ze Yitong suddenly switches her tone and is a little bit discouraged, “But if Ajia is not here, I will be boring in the valley alone.” Seeing it this way, she feels delicious grapes suddenly become insipid.
Lin Luoran smiles and takes her to the cave where the green light flower was, “Who said that I will not be in the valley? There is only a mountain wall between you and me. However, to find a way to cure your arm, we can’t often see each other, understand? Moreover, when you are bored, you can ride White Cloud to play nearby the Snow Mountains. ”
White Cloud is in the valley. Not just White Cloud, all wild horses are here.
The valley has an area of nearly ten square miles which is totally enough to accommodate hundreds of wild horses. There is still plenty of grass and leaves here in winter. The wild horses have already regarded this valley as a paradise. Of course, prairie wolves don’t dare to return. If Lin Luoran is here, her deterrence will cover the whole valley. She is not a killer, and the herbivores as wild horses and hares are not influenced by her hostility. Only the cunning and fierce predators as the prairie wolves will be scared of being in this valley.
Lin Luoran definitely can’t just begin her closed-door training with these preparations. It takes her a day to make a jade plate for Ze Yitong.
It is a defensive magic circle she learned from the crazy Taoist. Although it cannot be compared to the one that the crazy Taoist made for Jiang Mingyue, with its protection, the most powerful attacks which Ze Yitong may suffer in the Snow Mountains can never hurt her.
Lin Luoran puts the jade plate around Ze Yitong’s neck. She also builds an ice storage pond in the cave. Lin Luoran grants power of the Water in it and will reinforce it every month. In this way, the ice inside will not melt and the fresh fruit, vegetables, and meat stored in it will not decay. In this way, even if Lin Luoran has enlightenment and forgets the passage of time, Ze Yitong will not starve to death.
Of course, there is still a lot of rice and flour in Lin Luoran’s space. These staple foods do not need to be stored like this. They can be kept for a long time as long as they are not affected by dampness.
There is one more thing. Ze Yitong is not a cultivator so she cannot use the convenient Fire Ball spell, which means Lin Luoran has to prepare firewood besides food.
There are many wild yaks in the valley so there will be enough dried cow dung to light a fire. If Ze Yitong starts to do it herself, fire will not be a problem. Having said that, Lin Luoran still makes room for some hay… Her way of collecting firewood is direct and crude. With a rolling wind, the hay on the ground runs over automatically.
Seeing it, the little girl Ze Yitong is curious and inquiring.
Lin Luoran knows she wants to learn. But like Mrs. Lin, Ze Yitong has no Taoist root.
“Ajia, I can take good care of myself. Don’t worry.” She is in the hot spring and eats all kinds of fruit and vegetables produced in the space all the time. Also, there is no wind and sand in the valley which is covered by dense fog without strong sunlight. So Ze Yitong’s cheeks gradually become fair in just half a month, making her eyes look more agile.
She is now promising Lin Luoran solemnly.
Because today is the day that Lin Luoran is going to begin her closed-door training.
Lin Luoran thinks for a while and allows Ze Yitong to ask White Cloud to send messages to Dun Zhu regularly so that she and nana will be not too worried. Ze Yitong’s eyes sparkle when she hears it, “Can I go back to meet them?”
Lin Luoran really thinks about it and then asks a question back, “Are you willing to leave your present life, moving with Dun Zhu and others to a place where no one knows you, and never graze again?”
Ze Yitong shakes her head. She is a girl who grew up on the grassland. Even if she is willing to do so, Dun Zhu and nana can’t bear it.
“Then that is it. Just think about it. If you go back, everyone will find that you lose an arm and then it regrows after a while… You, Dun Zhu, and nana can’t live a peaceful life like now. ”
Although Ze Yitong can’t totally understand it, she no longer insists on going back to see Dun Zhu.
Lin Luoran is relieved. Finally she can start her closed-door training without worry.
…
Lin Luoran still has no time to take care of the Wood wolf who has been dragged into the space forcibly. It is said that it is still undergoing the training of fire phoenix.
What Lin Luoran worries is that the Wakan in her body has become more and more strong, but there is no sign of Bearing Essence. Without previous experience to follow, it is truly difficult.
She is even more worried that there are three rotating nebulas in her pubic region. Does Bearing Essence also mean three golden elixirs?
The thing that the green light flower and the Wood wolf entered the space also makes Lin Luoran think about the two former Reiki changes in her body.
For the first time, she learned Fire Ball spell stealthily on the rooftop of Commander Qin’s villa. She put her spiritual mind into Fire Reiki molecule. In this way, a vein of Fire Reiki was formed in her body naturally.
For the second time, Lin Luoran drifted in the sea and trekked across the iceberg. She got the ice grass by accident. In the ice fields, she achieved the completion of Training Qi at one stroke by the help of Water Reiki. Moreover, the Chaotic Reiki in her body has been differentiated into a vein of Water Reiki.
If the reason why the Fire Reiki could be felt for the first time was because the flame fruit had been planted and the fire phoenix had already been there. Then the second time, the differentiation of the Water Reiki is because of ice grass and silver fish… So the third time, with the green light flower and Wood wolf… Is it possible that the Chaotic Reiki in her body and the space are in synch?
Yes, it must be so. This can explain why the bead space can directly convey Reiki to her and also why the promotion of her personal ability can bring more areas to the space.
It turns out that she and this mysterious space handed down from her ancestors have already been an inseparable whole when the blood is connected? She once thought that she was just a “manager”. She doesn’t know the relationship between space and her has already been inseparable on her path of improving personal ability.
Lin Luoran still doesn’t know if space will be fine without her. However, if the space is separated from her, her intuition tells her what she will lose more than just a “cheating device”.
Does it mean losing everything or being killed directly? From the fact that she can’t enter the cabin now, she knows the authority of space is obviously higher than her own. When can this unequal relation be reversed?
Lin Luoran’s thoughts drift far away.
If she wants to bear Essence, maybe she must differentiate the Wood Wakan first.
The three nebulas in her pubic region are spinning quietly. Lin Luoran does not restrict her spiritual mind and just let it drift away…
Away… Farther away… Is there any green wood under the snow?
