Chapter 12 The Beginning of Cuiwei
Zhanzhou is located in the south of the Jiuhua Continent, near the sea, and most of the year is ruled by hot summer, and the winter is the most short-lived, wet and cold, and the same short spring and autumn is replaced by about a month.
In March, the rest of the Jiuhua Continent is still enjoying the pleasantness of spring, but Zhanzhou has already stepped into summer with half a foot.
Five miles away from Zhanzhou City, there is a verdant and graceful, very Jiangnan atmosphere of the mountain, the name is Cuiwei, there is a simple temple like a temple on this mountainside, it is Cuiwei Academy.
On this day, on the winding mountain road of the academy, a handsome man wearing a blue embroidered bamboo robe slowly walked by, and a petite girl wearing a goose yellow dress with white flowers on her head.
These two people are naturally Lin Jin and Bai Nanxiang.
At this time, it had been more than a month since they left the small mountain village.
The carriages and horses sent by Tanzhou County have already been returned, and since then, Lin Jin has taken the little girl all the way to play, and it only took one month to complete the journey of thousands of miles.
For most of the month, Lin Jin was quietly looking for various excuses to lead the little girl to enjoy the scenery and eat delicious food, and take her to relax.
Occasionally, after walking a few steps, the two places, which were originally far apart, are already close in front of you.
Lin Jin said that it is called 'shrinking the ground into inches', which is a common way to travel in Cuiwei Academy.
Only when they arrived at this Cuiwei Mountain, out of respect for the mountain gate, would the disciples of the academy give up their magical powers and honestly complete the last journey home.
Bai Nanxiang was young, and secondly, she was not used to the humid and sultry climate here, and when she walked to the mountain gate, she had a thin layer of sweat on her body, and it was very uncomfortable to stick to her body wetly.
Knock Knock Knock –
Lin Jin took the lead and walked under the closed mountain gate and knocked lightly on the mountain gate.
Bai Nanxiang looked up curiously at the mansion where she might stay for a long time.
The courtyard wall of the white wall and the tile, the Zhu door is tightly fastened, and a black plaque is hung above, and there are four gilt characters on the plaque, Cuiwei Academy.
Just from the façade, this academy looks like an ordinary mansion that can no longer be ordinary.
But Bai Nanxiang knew that it would be another world for her.
Squeak –
The mountain gate was opened a crack, and a young boy who looked like a young man looked out, and hurriedly pushed open the mountain gate on one side.
"Senior Brother Lin."
The boy stood respectfully by the mountain gate and made way to get in.
Inside the door, there is a bluestone paved staircase that extends into the depths of the bamboo forest.
Lin Jin turned around and greeted Bai Nanxiang, and stepped into the mountain gate first.
The boy cast a curious glance at Bai Nanxiang, and the little girl smiled at the boy before raising her foot to keep up with Lin Jin's pace.
After entering the mountain gate, the two walked more than 100 meters along the bamboo forest, and passed several rockery arch bridges and courtyard courtyards along the stone path, before walking to another ordinary courtyard gate.
The strange thing is that Bai Nanxiang noticed that the two of them walked all the way, and they only met two rough envoys on the way.
For such a large academy, it seems a little unusual.
At this point, Lin Jin finally stopped and stretched out his hand to the courtyard gate.
"This is the gate of my Cuiwei Academy, you come with me."
While speaking, Lin Jin walked to the courtyard gate, raised his hand and tapped it on the wall next to the courtyard, and the courtyard door slowly opened by itself.
In Bai Nanxiang's field of vision, a distorted space like colorful bubbles appeared behind the courtyard gate, and there was a mountain surrounded by auspicious clouds in the space.
她天生异眼,但平时那些神异在她眼里半只是一团与周围边界模糊的看不清里面的奇怪雾气,像这样清楚的甚至谈得上漂亮的神异景象,她也是生平第一次见到。
It's as if the portal in the game really appeared in front of you.
That feeling is amazing and a little unreal.
As a human being in two lives, Bai Nanxiang was very receptive to these miracles, so after being a little surprised, she quickly calmed down.
Lin Jin had been secretly observing the little girl's reaction from the side, seeing the little girl's bland response, and comparing it with the performance of his junior brothers and sisters when they first saw the scene inside the door, the little girl's reaction was a little unusual compared to the two.
It's not like a mountain village kid who has never seen the market.
When he took her all the way to the famous mountains and rivers and ate all the southern food of Jiuhua, the little girl's performance was much calmer than now.
Although Lin Jin felt that she was different, he didn't feel anything abnormal, but his attitude towards her was more like an adult, and that's it.
"This is the pseudonym of the mountain chief's magic weapon, called 'Rootless Mountain', and inside it is the real place of my Cuiwei faction."
Lin Jin explained to Bai Nanxiang, and he took the lead into the colorful bubble.
Bai Nanxiang looked at Lin Jin's body, and disappeared into the bubble in just a moment, and while secretly feeling the novelty, she raised her feet and walked in.
Stepping into the bubbles felt like stepping into a ball of warm water, and the transformation of the scene was as easy and natural as if she had just taken a step with her feet up, but the scene in front of her was very different from before.
The temperature here is a little lower than the outside, there are no pavilions, no rockeries and verandahs.
There is a mirror-like lake, a lotus bush that has just sprouted, a few flying cranes, and a courtyard scattered above and below the mist-shrouded mountains.
The cool wind blew slowly, dissipating the stuffiness of Bai Nanxiang's whole body, and inexplicably felt that the whole person was light.
The place where Bai Nanxiang settled is by the lake, and there are four small courtyards, which are scattered on the lakeside.
There are cobblestone paths in the courtyards, surrounded by wildflowers and weeds.
It doesn't look like a seowon, but rather a town with a great view.
Not far away, on the grass, a middle-aged man was meditating cross-legged with their backs facing the lake.
Lin Jin took two steps forward and approached the middle-aged man, and saluted respectfully.
Bai Nanxiang followed behind Lin Jin and saluted.
"Father, I'm back."
It turned out that the middle-aged man was Lin Jin's father, Bai Nanxiang felt a little surprised, she thought that she would be the teacher in the academy, so she shouted.
"Hello uncle."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man did not move slowly but stood up steadily, and turned to look at the two of them.
Bai Nanxiang noticed that after the middle-aged man stood up, where he was meditating, those purple clouds were not damaged, and the purple flowers and emerald green leaves were still straight facing the blue sky.
She couldn't help but look at her feet.
The blooming milk vetch at her feet had been accidentally trampled on by her.
"It's good to be back."
Although the middle-aged man said this, although he seemed to be answering Lin Jin, he was looking at Bai Nanxiang.
There was no need for Lin Jin to introduce, the middle-aged man looked at Bai Nanxiang kindly, and opened his mouth cordially.
"Nanxiang, I am your grandfather's first apprentice, your eldest uncle, you can call me Uncle Lin in the future."
