The easiest way to affect the performance of a horse is from the track or from the horse itself. However, this racing is a carnival of grassland herders. If someone finds out there is something wrong with the track, it will be so shameful for all honest grassland herdsmen. What's worse, if something dangerous happens on the track, it will easily hurt the horse itself. So, the man working for the boss with a big golden tooth chooses the second option—as long as the horse can't join in racing in time, it can't win the championship.
The man stealthily sprinkles some powder into White Cloud's forage and slips away back to his tent.
Waiting for him to leave, Anar comes out of the yurt. She stares at the brown powder in the forage and thinks about something. She is sore all over so she is in light sleep, and her hearing is better than ordinary people, so the uneasy sound of White Cloud's flicking tail causes Anar's alarm very soon.
In the dark night,
Under the heavy snow, there is some yellow grass. Every time hooves trampling down, she can hear a sound of ice falling into the dry grass.Anar's body is covered with snow and ice. She can barely open her eyes because of the cold wind. She doesn't know how long she has been running, and then she finally sees the snow-capped lake.Anar jumps off the horse. Her boots step on the grass, making a cracking sound. There is no other sound in the snow and not a living creature is near the lake. Looking around, she finds some ruts that wind and rain haven't destroyed. Wheels rutted on the withered grass heavily.Anar is going to chase along the ruts, and then she sees a horse on the grassy hill.It's the horse that Ze Yitong was riding to chase the yak. Anar is overjoyed and rides on it to chase along the ruts.An old horse is a good guide. She hopes this horse can take her to the destination.Ruts disappear from
Is it raining?Feeling her wet eyelids, Anar tries to open her eyes.It's so dark in the canyon. Seeing she is awake, White Cloud licks her cheek affectionately."White Cloud, why are you here..." Anar's eyes fall on White Cloud's neck. There are several deep teeth marks and its beautiful fur is almost ripped off.Anar suddenly realizes she is probably still in the canyon now.So she rolls over and sits up immediately. It causes her wound on the right arm to reopen. White Cloud is so anxious and licks her right arm continuously. The smell of herbs wafts through the air. This faithful horse is wounded for her. Moreover, it gets her some herbs to stop the bleeding.Anar's eyes turn red, not only because of White Cloud, but also the blood on the ground.Somehow the dense fog disappears. There are two severely broken cars and several frozen bodies. A herdsman stares at the sky. His face is twisted
Lin Luoran's clothes are stained with blood, so she takes out the "Protean Dress" from the space and puts it on. Because she is riding a horse, the Protean Dress changes into a British women's riding dress.Since the Wakan returned to her body, her cellular metabolism has been enhanced so the wound on her right arm has healed. Only the newly grown pink skin shows she has been severely scratched by a prairie wolf half a day ago.An old horse is a good guide, not to mention a unique horse like White Cloud.When Lin Luoran recovers, she can feel the subtle Reiki in White Cloud's body. It is the horse of heaven not just because of hearsay. White Cloud is a special breed. Now Reiki of heaven and earth is scarce. Although White Cloud has no conscious to improve its personal ability in Snow Mountains, it has absorbed a lot of water Reiki unconsciously.How about that wolf?Lin Luoran is curious about what it is.
Lin Luoran has a wider field of vision. The leaping flames over her fingertips are not for lighting: the Fire is the weakness of the Wood. At the end of the tunnel, a green light is shimmering. So, it seems that she is on the right way. Lin Luoran takes the monster wolf very seriously because it knows arts of nature. She walks carefully step by step. Lin Luoran finds out that this is an underground cave whose high roof is connected to Snow Mountains. The meltwater seeping from mountains is gathered in a stone trough. In this pool of milky translucent mucus, there is something looking like snow lotus. The milky translucent liquid is bubbling and glowing with the green light.Lin Luoran doesn't know what it is, but she is still amazed by the rich Wood Reiki of this snow lotus glowing green.This place is up to Snow Mountains and down to leyline, so Lin Luoran is not surprised that spirit herb can grow here. But what's odd is
Sometimes the proud and playful fire phoenix is unreliable, but as an experienced monster, it always knows a good way out.This can be demonstrated by helping her escape from danger many times, or offering some guidance for her occasionally.So, this time, Lin Luoran also believes in what it says.She's just a little confused. Is it really taking a drastic measure to deal with this situation?The monster wolf looks inside from the mountain wall which is one-way transparent. It is the first who discovers that Lin Luoran has disappeared. There is only one bead floating in the closet and emitting misty white light, which is mixed with the green light from snow lotus.The monster wolf’s heart hitches. It is kind of knowledgeable. A bead which allows a living person to hide in is usually extraordinary... It has a plan in mind, so it stops watching and triggers the magic circle.In the closet, the brilliant ligh
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.
Compared with hot and energetic fire, wood is cold and weak. Leaping flames bring people a mixed feeling of safety and danger, but what about wood? Even towering trees may also be cut down by human beings and then made into tables, beds, soft white paper, and disposable wooden chopsticks. Humans cannot have total control of fire, so they use it and fear it simultaneously. How about trees? They won't fight back, so people just use trees and don't hold them in awe.Lin Luoran let her thoughts run wild, thinking of the spirit herbs with miraculous efficacy and Chinese herbal medicine of all kinds. Some of them are poisonous while some can save lives: nature is really a wonderful creator. Compared with flexible and gentle water, wood is dull and stiff. Floods can also claim most animals’ lives, including humans’. Moreover, without water, crops can’t grow and energy cannot be obtained. Gentle water, equally useful to mankind, always reminds people
How could there be four golden elixirs?! It is spring and flowers blossom everywhere. Naqu grassland is getting closer to summer. At this time, Lin Luoran finally succeeds in Bearing Essence! After bearing Essence, her appearance hasn't changed much, only excreting smelly sweat and black dirt. Now her skin is more and more like jade in texture. Lin Luoran notices her bones seem to have developed again. Her fingers are longer and slender, and she is a few centimeters taller. Now Lin Luoran is 1.72 meters tall. Outside the center of Chuan province, this height is just average among the younger generations with better and better nutrition. In fact, Lin Luoran is worried about the four golden elixirs with different colors in her pubic region. The white one is slightly larger in the middle as usual. The remaining three small golden elixirs, red, blue, and green ones are like satellites defending the White elixir. There is a circle of Wakan on the
