Rain is pouring when young master An makes to the Lin’s villa.
The iron thorns in the yard have crawled their way to the fence so that An can’t see clearly inside. The rain falls on the glass window, sounding like a symphony.
Except for the sound of rain, the entire villa is absolutely quiet.
Thinking of Superior Huizhu’s seriousness and seeing what’s going on here, An is anxious. The large lotus leaf in his hand finally can’t stand the heavy rain and break. An throws it away.
Raindrops stop shortly on the tip of grass and they gather into a little stream on the ground. The stream flows through the gaps between cobblestones and into the outdoor swimming pool. Grass cuttings and deadwood are brought into the pool, making the water filthy.
Young master An pushes open the unclosed glass door. There is no bloody scene of dead bodies on the floor as he imagined. The fragrance of chypre is pleasant. The sound of rain drow
The rain doesn’t stop until 8pm.The moon rises from the horizon. Like it is washed clean by the rain, the moonlight tonight is particularly bright.Mrs. Lin is enjoying the cool air in the yard. Staring at the light coming from a bedroom upstairs, she sighs,“Luoran never comes out of her room after lunch. I’m worried.”Qu Yi uses a smile to answer all the questions he can’t reply, like a girl in a beauty pageant. In fact, staying in a room for a few hours doesn’t mean anything. Though cultivators in the level of Training Qi can’t Bigu (eat or drink nothing), they can meditate in a room for years if they have enough food and water. Qu Yi wonders how far has Sister Lin gone?His eyes are shiny. Will Sister Lin become the first of them to lay foundation?Unlike Qu Yi’s imagination, Lin Luoran is not cultivating. In the quiet bedroom, Lin Luoran’s eyes are closed and a colorful light ball is
“Superior!”While Superior Huizhu battles the enemy, a few of apprentices of the Qingcheng Taoist Temple are watching in the yard. They saw that Lin Luoran jumped onto the roof and made a shameful sneak attack, but they didn’t expect that Huizhu would stop Lin.Young master An can’t help shouting.Though Lin is surprised, her attention is drawn by An’s shouting. The woman in black giggles and says: “What a good-looking young Taoist!”She throws the black lotus out, which expands against the wind and wraps An immediately. Before An does anything, he is trapped by the petals. By the time the lotus flies back to the woman’s hand, it returns to the normal size. Young master An is nowhere to be found. No one expected that the woman in black would change her target. Even Superior Huizhu who stopped Lin Luoran couldn’t act quick enough to save his apprentice.However, Lin Luoran is somehow relieved a bit. When
Looking at the lotus in her palm, the woman in black is satisfied. She looks at the direction of Lin’s villa and thinks about the golden hawk.The woman wants to take the hawk away. Meanwhile, a long howl comes from afar. Under the moonlight, a man is rushing down from the mid-air. Hearing the howl, the woman’s complexion changes. She turns around and disappears with a stream of blood mist.The man lands on the ground. He has silver hair but his cheeks are rosy. Lin Luoran would be surprised if she were here. It is Master Mu, who lives in the capital.“Where is she?” Master Mu has just got off the plane to R City. He runs here non-stop. All he sees is that Huizhu’s apprentice is lying on the ground covered in blood, and the person he wants to catch is nowhere to be found. “Gone.” Huizhu puts a bolus in An’s mouth and asks his other apprentices to carry An back to the temple. He adds: “She took Lin Luoran.”Master Mu
In the quiet and bloody dungeon, a woman in a green dress is lying on the ground. She is bloodstained and blood is dripping from a cut on her right wrist into the blood pool.Lin Luoran smiles bitterly. She is bleeding. No wonder she feels weaker than being attacked by Zou Yaowei’s pink smoke. The woman in black wants to discuss the Tao of Bolus with Lin Luoran under this circumstance — Lin’s afraid that the woman actually wants to make her into a so-called “elixir”. “Where am I?” Lin Luoran barely opens her mouth and asks. In fact, she is in no mood of chatting. She just asked the question in order to buy time.Lin can’t figure out whether the woman in black doesn’t know what she is thinking or the woman doesn’t even worry about her playing tricks. The woman throws the black lotus back into the blood pool, and the lotus lands on its root. Blood flows up from its stem and into the lotus. The stem is transparent and hollow so Lin
It takes Lin Luoran a lot of effort to move her fingers, but she never thinks about giving up. The path of cultivation is endless. Only she knows that she doesn’t have a powerful master. She is the backbone of her family. She can’t die here.Will a prince come and save her like what is written in fairy tales?Even she is dizzy, Lin Luoran despises this idea.She tried to help Huizhu, who stopped her without any explanation. Later, she was caught off guard and taken away by the woman in black — all of these make Lin draw a new conclusion about the reason why Huizhu helped protect her family before.She should rely on no one else but herself! The woman in black gets happier when she sees that Lin’s face is becoming paler,“They say that you have a master who helped cleanse your bone marrow. Do you think he will come and save you?”Lin Luoran ignores the woman yet she continues to speak,“You only have lost s
The appearance of Goldie at the Zhongshan Mausoleum is all over the internet thanks to instant sharing apps like “Weibo”.If the pictures were posted by one person, people might think that the pictures were made by Photoshop. Yet, hundreds of people have posted pictures of Goldie taken from different angles, which makes Goldie’s existence a fact.Goldie soon becomes popular. People all over the country are talking about the “mysterious hawk of the State of Huaxia”.The local TV station hears about this and plans to make a documentary. They film Goldie when it circles around the Zhongshan Mausoleum and rests on the roof of buildings. The TV station also invites an expert in zoology and some scholars who study Huaxia legends. It only takes the TV station two days to shoot, invite the guests and edit the film. However, before the show is going to be broadcasted, the TV station receives a notice that the show must not be played… Wh
All the three years, Goldie almost becomes a settled scenic spot of the Zhongshan Mausoleum.Exposed to the sun and wind, Goldie’s feathers are shiny as usual. For Goldie whose life span is so long, three years mean nothing. Time is not Goldie’s enemy. Its enemy is the woman in black who sometimes comes and attacks it. If Goldie didn’t have rapid speed and sharp feathers, it would already become a so-called “elixir” of the woman. Therefore, Goldie has grown a lot from all these sneak attacks. It is no longer the silly hawk which had a standoff with Li Xi’er, an amateur cultivator, for three days — today’s Goldie can kill Li Xi’er with one strike!The woman in black hasn’t shown up for half a year. Goldie doesn’t know where the woman has gone. However, it never lets down its guard. The silliness in its eyes is gone, and it looks more and more like a king. Most tourists don’t even dare to take pictures of Goldie anymore.
Can light float?Lin Luoran discovered that light could float when she was a little girl. Back then, her family lived in a tile-roofed house. Sometimes, the tiles would break and the roof leaked whenever it rained.Her dad would pick a sunny afternoon and use a bamboo ladder to get on the roof. He would replace the broken tiles with new ones. This was every man living in the countryside had to do. It was called “house-gathering”.Lin Luoran didn’t care much about “house-gathering”. However, every time her dad moved away the broken tiles, light would pour down on the ground… The floating light was so breathtakingly beautiful. Seven-year-old Lin Luoran believed that light could float. She kept this to herself as a little secret — actually, the Lin family was the outsider of the Li’s village. Kids at her age all looked down on her. Lin Luoran didn’t really have someone to talk to. Then, Lin Luoran started elementary sc
