Until you became a grade 2 student, you could not go to the second storey, but the higher grade students could come downstairs. Wu Xi was situated on the top storey and Mr. black was the only creature who could live in the Nine-Tower."Mr. Black, that was quick, did you get the message from Baby?" Joy was surprised and squatted down unconsciously."I do not see Baby; I come for anything else. You need to tell me everything during your last meeting with Wu Xi, every little thing counts." Mr. Black was as sharp as ever."So the principal was missing, you can’t reach her, right?" Joy said, it was significantly louder this time. She was grateful that the place was empty."She is in a safe place, but she was off. So I need to know what had happened to her.""Sunshine, Mr. Black has found the principal, but he wan
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 1 The Cat-talking Girl
In the Plateau of northwest of Tibet province , a small village named Qifeng lied amid the southwest undulations of one of the deepest and longest canyons in the world-the Brahmaputra River valleys, it was an engirdled and secluded region which few tourists have ever set their feet in the wonderland yet. It was believed that some of them moved to this inconspicuous place in order to live a life hidden in the wild."Time is running out."Christ Gao heard a voice coming from the courtyard. He brushed at the corner of his loose polo shirt self-consciously as he stood up, and stepped out of the house.It got very hot and stuffy in the village even in the early summer, Christ found himself in a gloomy, downbeat mood when he saw the sun was comfortable sitting behind the dark clouds. The bad light in the late afternoon, the gates of the village were vaguely visible in the distance. There were azaleas bushes in blossom in the yard with petals scattered all over the gro
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 2 The Holy Mud
It was getting dark outside. Joy stood up holding the manuscript her father just gave her in her arm, walking quickly through the coach towards her bedroom where she put the book on her desk. Then she thought of something, rushed to her bag on the coat hanger earlier and pulled out a clay figure. It looked like an ordinary small clay figure except that it would be too authentic."Baby, I got a gift for you. Look, this is a present I received from Grandpa Gao yesterday. It looks just like me; you have my permission to play with it. "Joy displayed it proudly.Apparently Baby was intrigued; he reached out his fore- paw to touch the clay figure. The minute he made contact with the Clay, a mild shock made all his hairs up as though there was a danger which threatened him, but instead he felt powerful, full of energy. He screamed and jumped far away in a shock."What the hell."Meanwhile, Christ’s skin swelling and lifting his skin into tiny goose p
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 3 Travelling
The rain kept falling for a few days, even though it was inconvenient going out; but the air of the place, so fresh with earthy smell, the grass was lush green; full of vitality on the roadside, the bumpy dirt road was shining; and the birds were singing, having a party in the jungle. On the morning of departure, the sun finally came in its wake seemed an effort on the part of Nature to match the state of the dad’s heart.Baby was jumping up and down passionately non-stop; Joy was worried that he would be tired during their way. Joy was all set to go; her carry-on package was a small blue waterproof backpack which she bought it two years ago for the Himalaya Mountains climbing."Be careful, you go there first, Baby will guide you. I will go later after I take care of some stuff here."Christ hugged his daughter."Don’t worry, Dad, Please take care of yourself, I will see you in the Habitat then." Joy replied.She walked quickly through the cour
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 4 The Talented One
"Back off! "Joy was woken by the sound of shouting from a girl far away. Baby was already awakened, stood up, stretched his limbs, opened his mouth and licked the tip of his nose with his tongue. He was gently patting her left hand with his claw. Then he jumped up and ran into the direction where the noise came from. Joy picked up her package on the ground and began to follow Baby’s footsteps immediately.Joy ran close to see that a huge vulture was constantly attacking a palm-sized dog in front of a camphor tree which was dozens of meters high, and a girl about her age was protecting the dog using her power shield against the vulture laboriously.The vulture was full grown with a wingspan about six-or-seven feet, dark brown with two spreading wings; bare head covered with short dark brown plumage, the back neck was completely bare without feathers. His wings were stirring vigorously, causing the branches of the camphor tree dancing randomly, as though th
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 5 Mythical Creatures
"Where do we go now?""East."They reached an open area where the bushes were completely out of sight; Sunshine slowed down and finally stopped in front of an ancient oak tree."Why?" Joy asked, as both of them leaned on the tree trunk and gasped for air."Because one of the grains will be there."It is recorded in the book-Wilderness that there are five kinds of mythical creatures in ancient times when it is a multi-deity society , represent the directions of East; West, South, North and Middle .Their existence is to guard the five directions and protect the peace of the space. In fact, their role is not that simple, but has a more far-reaching significance, that is, they represent the five fundamental elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth, which contain all the things in nature and human society in the universe.Azure Dragon lives in the east and is the head of all mythical beasts. It is said that his body looks like a snake; his h
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 6 The Array Labyrinth
The array labyrinth is a tour puzzle made of wall-trees in the form of a complex branching passage through which the participants must find the right route. It is divided into several small mazes by tree walls of different heights.The map showed that the labyrinth was circular; consisting of complex, changeable plants and movable partition walls. In fact, the linear distance from the entrance to the center point was about ten meters. Nevertheless, the maze was usually simple to enter but difficult to exit. A careless move may well trigger a wrong step caused walking into a dead end. But if you get hang of the access into and out, there was always light at the end of the tunnel. It seemed to be a fascinating sort of play.Both of them were gazing at the map while Baby and Happy were lying together near the wooden door. Joy fantasized that Sunshine's brain must be working like a supercomputer, so she dared not to disturb her. While she was letting her imagination
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 7 The Twin Brothers
It was a lovely spring morning, there was a chilly drizzle of rain, the sky appeared a heavy shade of mottled gray, the sparrows chirp and chorus, and the air was muggy and oppressive. Joy was waking up in her soft single-bed; she turned off the alarm and sprang out bed. As she walked through the hall, she saw her father was making breakfast for her in the kitchen. She was suddenly awakening from her sweet dream with a start when Baby was playing with her right feet with his hind paw. It took her a few minutes to recover consciousness. She saw Sunshine was lying near her feet with Happy in her arms. She sneaked up so that she wouldn’t wake up Sunshine. It was a medial size cave, the scenery was so fantastic that Joy felt she was in an Alice-in-Wonderland world. Outside the cave month the blackness of night was like a curtain, but inside the cave was bright as daylight, the light was coming from everywhere or nowhere. A sound of water dropping broke in, she tried to spot where the wa

Several boys were finishing eating and they tried to place all the dishes in the same way as they were at the start of the meal, they wolf-whistled at Sunshine while passing by. Joy studied Dylan's face and kept telling herself that it was a good opportunity to know more about the matter, she pretended to be calm and asked."Dylan, we like hanging out, observing the whole campus.""What do you know?"

Her bed was lying among dozens of other beds that it looked exactly the same as the one at home, Joy walked straight towards it. There was a note flying to her before Joy could complain about the overcrowding, words in bold-red-larger font letters stick out among other normal black fonts as Dormitory Regulations. "If you would like some personal space, please mark your blood at your territory. With the spell it will present a barrier that defend your place against any intruders. Nobody could go inside without your permission." "Sunshine, have you seen it? It will be like a compartment where you could relax in your private suites."

When they had landed down on the ground in front of the tower without any disturbance, they waved goodbye and thanked the Kunpeng for the lift. The Tower was a few yards from them but it felt the distance was very far away. There was a significant array stood in the way, which was concealed deep in the shadow so it couldn't be seen from above. Baby beat the rest of them, jumped straight into it and followed by Happy and Sky."Baby, what are you doing?" Joy yelled."To do his job, the array which we call "the Ever-Changing Array". It's a simple performing which is like a mirage, depends on your wise and benevolence, the views on this array vary from person to person. But it doesn’t work on animals, so he is still your guide." Said Sunshine."They went to explore the way for us. They do have a start and an end as a guide.""Indeed, we should split up now. See you later." Said Hayden.For a short time, this world, the very ground she stood on, Joy felt altered, more distant, as if she wa

Suddenly the sky was changing because the sun was beginning to fall behind hills, sending deep gold-colored rays slanting under the trees. The elderly were gravitating in the market, shuffling in cheerful pairs along the streets or jogging in slow motion past the shops, all quickened their pace in panic. Joy was attracted by a bunch of herbs; she was chatting with a vendor who was trading herbs. "For every disease, there are some herbs to cure it. This cinnamon-like medicinal herb is hard to come by, it can wrench people back from the fog of unconsciousness." The keeper said. "It’s getting dark, the market will be closed soon, we need to go out now." Hayden strode towards her. Hearing that, Joy rose to say goodbye while the keeper secretly put the herb into her packsack without anyone else noticing. Sunshine bustled through the street to meet Joy. "What if we could not go out on time? What will happen?" "It is not up to you because it is mandatory, or you are about to bounce off
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 14 The Sword
In following hours, Joy and Sunshine were going to tour the streets and also stroll the open-air market. The streets were crowded with old people and the shops were full of wonderful magic things. One of Joy’s favorite pastimes was going to fairs and markets, but it was Sunshine’s first time visiting the market. It was much different from the markets Joy had been to in the human world as the facts that the basic needs of life were available with minimum effort for Shamans. There was a proliferation of stores, where are trading Dan medicines, traditional herbal medicines, swords, books, charms and spells and so on. When people met on the streets, they would come to a halt and talk or go to the teahouse to have some tea. In the roadside teashops, men sat on low stools and talked over sweet tea. Sunshine and Joy stopped at a teahouse with the traditional wood carvings, artwork, lighting and flooring. "Do you want some tea?" "Sure, Tea houses are a carrier of peo
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 13 Free Market in the painting
Joy and Sunshine were standing in front of a gigantic wash painting with the sound"Welcome to the Free Market." "Sunshine, why…" Joy had barely begun speaking when Baby break in abruptly. "Where have you been? I am starting to worry. You guys kept us waiting for a long time." Joy felt that Baby’s effusive welcome was not sincere, and suddenly her attention was drawn by a black cat squatting next to him. On the other side, Happy ran towards Sunshine with hearty welcome by circling around her foot jumping and dancing. "Baby, why don’t you introduce your friend to us?" "This is Mr. Black, the King of cats." "Nice to meet you, Your Majesty." Joy smiled and bowed obsequiously to Mr. Black. Hearing the words, Sunshine whirled around and surveyed what miracle had happened to Joy. "Where is Wu Xi? she was supposed to be here with you." Mr. Black had an air of quiet authority and deep, commanding voice, Joy was shocked i
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 12 Nowhere
The charm of life was gone, there was nothing but dreariness and endless darkness left.Joy and Sunshine were jumping into seeming nothingness, rarely mentioned for more than several centuries. The thought of vanishing completely from the world, of being engulfed in ineradicable darkness, would seize upon them and crush with it the very existence of the world. Joy and Sunshine were still holding hands tightly with fear."Hello, Joy, Sunshine."Something about the voice was vaguely charming, soft and cajoling, accompanied by a faint light crossed the darkened space. They saw a lady’s shadow walking towards them in the darkness, she moved with feline grace. Wearing a light blue long sleeved dress with belt at the waist which was fitted to give her a flattering silhouette, standing barefoot in the air and her long hair fell to her waist."Who are you? Where are we?" Asked Joy, a little timidly."I am Wu Xi, the principal of Nine-Tower.""
The Habitat of Shamans Chapter 11 Reuniting
Joy stood waiting in the dim light with Baby nearby; the canyon was hemmed in by towering walls of rock, it was as if a giant was blocking the way with his gigantic body. The path was deserted except for a cat lifting his paws off the frosty stones. Joy made her way down a narrow, gravel road cautiously to the door, which was looming a few meters in front of her. She went straight up to the door and entered into it, to her surpriseit was all getting just as bright as day. She closed her eyes in a subconscious attempt to avoid damage at the bright lights. Was there somebodystandingthere or was it a trick of the light? Beforeshe could openher eyes, Baby was giggling and a familiar voice came over. "Joy, and Baby." Sunshine was promptly at her side, her eyes lit up with pleasure. Joy hugged her back with the sign of affection, at a distance, Baby was playing around with Happy on the floor.
