Episode 1 Impressions of late autumn
PS: Alas, what about the long-lost update, although there are all kinds of things, but I'm still sorry.
Thank you for still coming.
Ah, Nanhua's student days are over, and I do feel a little touched. Looking back, although there are many regrets, I never regret it. For better or worse, at least it's my own choice. Even if I had to choose again, it would still be the same.
Well, no more sentimentality.
The ninth volume of the official mountain temple officially began, please be sure not to look forward to the festival or something~~~

In the cool autumn breeze, a few maple trees outside the window have been dyed crimson.
A few fallen leaves fluttered in the wind, drawing their own trails in the deep blue sky. At the top of the crimson top, three delicately shaped leaves swayed in the wind, and where they connected to the branches, there was only a trace left, and they were about to fall.
There seems to be some kind of strange attraction between the falling and not falling, which makes Xiao Rin unable to take his eyes off.
Tsuki walked into her room, looked at the figure in her off-white coat sitting outside the window, and then at the target she was staring at, and shook her head gently when she realized that Rin's gaze was focused on a few unfallen maple leaves.
"Xiao Rin, what are you thinking? Slowly stepping forward, the moon hugged the person who was looking out the window in a daze from behind.
"Ah, it's the moon. Don't be so scary, okay. Remember to knock on the door!" Xiao Rin, who was sitting by the window, only then did she notice the person behind her, and she still had a little confusion on her face that was too indulgent. When she just looked at the maple leaves outside the window that were about to fall in the wind, she was very bored waiting for the scene of them floating. Alas, I don't look forward to it now, and that leisurely mood just now was ruined by the moon~~
Helping her stroke the hair hanging down from the corner of her forehead, Yue raised her hand and knocked on her head: "You guy, this is my room, and the soul that was hooked by the leaves hasn't come back yet?"
"Woo, I forgot, who told us that we have spent too much time in my house recently, and said that we are used to it~" I don't know if it's an illusion, but Yue always felt so proud when she said this.
Getting out of Tsuki's arms, Rin climbed in from the eaves of the window, and halfway up, she looked back a little puzzled and asked, "Tsuki, spiritualism is a highly technical Taoist art, have you learned it?" I remember I didn't teach you?"
Hearing this, the corners of Yue's mouth twitched when he was reminiscing about the recent month, and after looking at her for a while, he lazily spoke: "Fool!"
"Hmph, it's not~~ I just think Yue's expression is very interesting, I want to see it. Rin nodded, pleased with her results.
"By the way, you haven't been to the Department for a week lately, is it okay?"
"It's okay, it's okay, although Xiaoli and Ning are not very reliable, Xiaoyin is still very reliable......" Rin waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"Huh?" Tilting his head, Moon began to wipe down the gadgets in front of the window.
This is a set of metal sheets, which vary in length and thickness, and are not delicate. This is made for her by someone who likes rainy days, and since a few months ago, every rainy day there will be a crisp sound in front of her window, which is not regular, but has a faint and leisurely charm. Every time that sound sounds, it makes her feel extra warm while laughing.
After wiping, Yuecai continued: "Rin, how do I remember that Xiao Yin has been away for a while...... Hey, is it an illusion~?"
“......... Ahh What was originally a normal thing has now become like this, even if I clearly remember that Xiao Yin left in my memory, but the feeling that where one person is, the other person is also there is even more powerful......"
"Ahh Looking at the direction of Fenghua City, Xiao Rin prayed in a low voice.
"Forget it, let's go have tea together, Mom has prepared it for us. Pulling up Rin who was lying on her bed in a large shape, Yue whispered in her ear: "Be careful, if my mother sees you like this, she will educate you again." ”
"Yes, let's get up~" Rin heard this, her muscles stiffened, and she jumped up all of a sudden.
Alas, although Yue's mother is very gentle, she unexpectedly attaches great importance to this kind of demeanor.
I heard that Yue learned some very old etiquette under the pressure of her mother when she was a child, and then ...... Ahem, I don't want to accept the devastation of Yue Decisively skipped class to practice martial arts. Although the current moon mother is not very strict, if she sees her own actions that are not like a girl at all, she will definitely be heartbroken and have a long talk with herself.
It was the most horrific thing to do......
"Rin, come to my house tomorrow too. ”
“...... If I leave home again tomorrow, my mother will be angry! We said okay, one person for one day. ”
Because he spends more time with Yue than at home, his mother and Xiaoying's resentment are a little deep. She didn't dare to stay overnight today, it would make her mother black, if she touched her head in front of the little girl and turned herself into a kitten in front of Xiaoying...... That's not a shame!
'Yue has always been very accustomed to me, even if she abducted her home once or twice, she didn't refute it, and Mom ...... Well, it's better to continue to abduct and go back~~'Secretly compared Biyue and her mother, Rin decisively sold her.
The two climbed up to the slightly sloping roof, with Tsuki sitting above the window and Rin resting on her lap, quietly enjoying their leisure.
Moon just caressed her cheek, as if to take her touch deep in the depths of her heart.
The sky is full of red glow, and from time to time a few maple leaves will gently fall on the two of them, adding a crimson color to the beauty with light makeup and no makeup.
Autumn is getting higher and higher, and there are no clouds in the distance, only a quiet blue sky.
This tranquil atmosphere is always contemplative, and Rin is no different.
She was combing through some of the strangeness she had already felt, starting from her own memory, from the first day she appeared in this world, everything was ...... Everything that seems normal has a deep hidden meaning.
It has been many years since she came to this world, and the old doubts in her heart have not faded, and new doubts have been born again. In Maoshan for four years, since she became a Taoist success, she should have become the 'Xiao Rin' of the past, and her memory has also been recalled.
When she was a child, she was coquettish in front of her parents, and some childish behaviors when she was a child gradually converged in her mind.
There was no disobedience, everything was natural, which made her have a few doubts.
She had doubts about whether the memories in her mind were false, but she denied them.
When she has cultivated to this realm, she has already seen her mind, and everything she does, says, thinks and thinks about is out of her heart. No human presence could tamper with her memories, and if there was anything abnormal, she couldn't have felt it.
But!
If that world exists...... No, perhaps......
"Rin, what are you thinking?" With some playfulness, Tsuki stretched out her white finger and poked at her soft cheek.
"Something troublesome. Rin subconsciously replied, and then her thoughts were gone, and she changed to a free and easy tone and said, "Forget it, when all freedom is over, maybe I don't have to force it." ”
"Anytime, anywhere, I'm there for you. ”
"Well, that's enough......"
After a quiet and leisurely afternoon at Tsuki's house, Rin returns home.

The edge of town
Mountains and forests, old temples.
A young girl on a bicycle sped all the way through a forest path that was already dark.
All around is wooded, and weeds are hurrying. The night wind blew and rustled.
'Hurry up, starve, hurry back to eat.' Yu Yu thought to herself, and the strange sounds that sounded from time to time beside her did not give her a little fear. The rustling of autumn leaves, the sparse chirping of insects, and even the slight sound of a few squirrels passing through the leaves are clearly visible.
After listening to it for more than ten years, everything on this road is so familiar.
After a sudden braking, the girl stopped in front of a moss-covered, lettered boulder. Removing the bamboo sword hanging behind her, the girl looked weakly at the long steps in front of her. "Woo, this is three hundred and sixty-five steps!!Climbing once a day is very exercised!!" Waving the bamboo sword in her hand angrily, she expressed her indignation at the ancestor.
The bamboo sword in her hand was simply made up of several pieces of bamboo, wrapped in yellowed bandages, and there seemed to be some strange lines on it. By the way, don't look at her holding a bamboo sword, in fact, she doesn't understand swordsmanship or anything at all. She only knows one trick that her father taught her, that is: chopping.
Hmph, don't underestimate her, because she has practiced since she was a child, and now if she tries her best, she can definitely cut off an ordinary wood, and a few ordinary rogue beasts are definitely not opponents!
"Huhu, finally come up, I really don't know what those guys thought at the beginning, they actually built a temple in such a place!" The round is surrounded by trees on three sides, and behind it is a small wooden old temple...... Well, no one has been here for a long time, and it looks a little shabby.
"Xiaojing, is dinner ready, my sister is about to starve to death!!"
The mountain is not deep, not high
It is surrounded by lush trees, but there is no construction.
The nearest human settlement should be the Yi family mansion separated by two mountains, the one that was built more than ten years ago.
It's a bit far from the city, and not many people come here except for the annual New Year's festival.
And also...... I heard that there are wild boars in the mountains and forests!
......
"Okay, sister, hurry up and wash your hands, and then come to eat. Really, can't you come back sooner?" Outside, a girl of about fourteen or fifteen years old walked in with dinner, wearing a thin white shirt and a little pale cheeks. After Gang Yuyu wiped the sweat off her face, she looked at her sister with a little blame.
The original dinner had already been cold, and she had just brought it to the kitchen to warm it up. My sister is very hard, and she knows that although she complains, she still keeps some delicious dishes very intimately.
"Hmph, I want to too, but only if I work during this time period to make more money, otherwise I wouldn't go out now~" took off the sticky clothes on his body, and lay on the table softly wearing only a small cotton vest, rolled his eyes helplessly, and continued: "It's not so easy to do odd jobs, if it weren't for Aunt Xiao's introduction, I wouldn't have found that job." ”
"Sister...... That, it seems that our household is not enough. Sitting quietly beside her, the little girl hesitated and continued: "This month's electricity and water bills...... Well, by the way, I changed a bottle of gas, and I really don't have much money left, "
The ...... words fell silent.
She tilted her head in confusion, stuffed the dish that was not rich at all into her mouth, and asked, "How long can I support it, my part-time salary this month is not much." ”
"We can probably last for a month, and if we don't have any income, we will have no water and electricity next month. Xiao Jing carefully calculated on the family booklet, and then said with great fear: "Sister, sister...... Well, why don't you prepare some candles first? I'm afraid of the dark......"
"Xiao Jing is not afraid, peace of mind, if you can hold on for a month, I think there is still a way. He rolled up one of his sleeves, made a gesture of doing a big job, and said in an impassioned tone: "No way, it seems that we are going to make a lot of money during the New Year, otherwise our small temple will not be able to sustain itself." ”
"Xiao Jing, start preparing the amulet tomorrow. Well, let's draw according to the thirteenth set of 'Home Safety' mantras left by my father, this set is the simplest, so that you can make the most talismans in a limited time!"
"Uh-huh, I know, I've practiced the art of drawing amulets to the top over the years!"
Hearing this, the eyes of the little girl, who had always been quiet and quiet, suddenly flashed with dazzling light!
Hmph, this is the biggest income of the two sisters in a year! If there is no money, the living expenses of the two of them, Xiaojing's tuition, water and electricity bills will be in danger! Although it is a total of zero, it adds up to a lot of expenses, and the meager income from working in Yuyu alone will definitely not be able to cope with it.
