Chapter 498 Acacia Tree Grows
The air is filled with the sll of scorched land which makes people feel panic.
Oxygen is thin while pollution and radiation are serious. If people walk outside of the Earth’s settlents, they have to be protected against radiation by wearing gas masks and carrying compressed oxygen equipnt. In short, it is not a simple thing if you want to make money by hunting mutant monsters.
Only a cultivator like Lin Luoran can expose herself to radiation and polluted air and walk freely on today’s earth.
Lin Luoran lived in the center of Chuan province Rong City for the first half of her life. From birth to cultivation, this city mostly brought happiness and joy for her. After she returned from Mount Penglai, everything changed.
Including her feeling for Rong City.
She is distressing and she also wants to escape. If Baojia might not have returned here, she would never want to co back now!
Lin Luoran directly finds the place where Qingcheng Taoist Temple was in the past and she realizes that it has been cleared out.
A small illusion circle conceals the cave under Qingcheng Taoist Temple. Maybe because of a lack of spirit stone or Lin Luoran’s broad vision, she can easily find the circle core of the illusion circle.
“This illusion circle can only prevent mutant monsters from running around.”
White Fairy floats out like smoke. She glances twice and points out the way for Lin Luoran.
Baojia is not there but there is another living person in the cave. Lin Luoran follows the instructions of the White Fairy. She walks in slowly without destroying the illusion circle. The chaotic stone at the entrance has been emptied and the faint green cave is exposed. Lin Luoran walks down the stairs, rembering that Commander Qin was so nervous when she asked him to be here. Liu Zheng and the crazy Taoist were also here. The four of them put Baojia in the hollowed-out tree cave of soul wood themselves and she had been sleeping here for many years.
The upheaval of the earth has also affected Baojia. At this mont, it’s more accurate to say that her new independent personality has ford after waking up than that she has totally forgotten her history. Even though Lin Luoran has already been a Gathering Vitality cultivator, she still doesn’t know how to face Baojia whose personality has totally changed.
Without any lamps in the cave, there are a few glowing crystals on the hillside. The light is soft and refreshing. Going to the bottom, Lin Luoran sees a frightened young man wary of the outside world. She feels complicated.
It’s Duke Chiao. To be precise, the forr Duke Chiao.
The bottom of the cave has been cleaned up and it is covered with mutant wolf skins as a mattress. The forr Duke Chiao, Frank Hidal is not ntally deranged anymore. Her eyes look innocent and Lin Luoran feels very strange about it. White Fairy glances at him a few tis and says, “He is now a child in terms of intelligence.”
Lin Luoran frowns. When she made her decision, she doesn’t expect that Baojia will value Frank so much. Baojia even took him when she left the Nami Star. Before White Fairy took action, she asks Lin Luoran’s opinion. Frank was attacked by “Soul-Search Spell” and the illusion spell which White Fairy is good at. He only becos a moron and this is a very good scenario.
This is why White Fairy stopped Lin Luoran from using “Soul-Search Spell” to commit sins at Dongting Lake. After all, they were just two innocent ordinary people, not her “enemies”.
Lin Luoran feels so complicated. Although she is not guilty, what should she say when she finds Baojia?
The matter of Frank has already happened. Lin Luoran tries to understand Baojia’s feelings—she also can’t pretend that nothing has happened if Baojia does sothing to one of the siblings of the Ma family like this... Just when she wants to leave quietly, the illusion circle is triggered.
Baojia is back!
Holding a skinned mutant rabbit in her hand, Baojia is standing on the top of the high stairs. She looks at her coldly from above.
“What are you doing here?”
Baojia’s attitude towards Lin Luoran is not very friendly, but she is cold and disgusted towards the White Fairy on the side. Lin Luoran nods at White Fairy. She gets the signal and returns to space.
“I am here to thank you for helping in Dongting that day.”
Baojia’s face softens a little, “Even if I was not there, you would not lose... Don’t get wrong. I just hate people showing off.”
Lin Luoran is able neither to cry nor to laugh. Baojia is really an after her newborn.
Easing relations can’t be done in a hasty. Lin Luoran’s goal has achieved when she confirms that Baojia is actually in Mount Qingcheng. Lin Luoran says goodbye by a salute. When she passes by Baojia on the stairs, she can obviously feel that Frank’s tight body is relaxed.
The forr Duke Chiao, whose IQ has degraded to a child, pulls Baojia’s sleeve and says sothing in a low voice. Baojia is very patient to comfort him. There is a strong family atmosphere between the two.
Lin Luoran cos out of the illusion circle and she is about to leave. The illusion circle water ripples and Baojia chases after her.
“Wait.”
Lin Luoran is stunned and she is so uneasy, wondering whether Baojia is going to ask her not to co here again—
After a long ti, Baojia hesitates and takes out two Jade Maps.
“This one has been with since my waking up. It records an unknown technique and so magic circle knowledge.”
Baojia holds up another Jade Map, “This one was found at the bottom of the cave after I returned to the earth. It records the art of flying sword and Spells of the Five Elents. It even includes magic figures spells, common spirit herbs, elixirs, and various common sense of the world of cultivation. The people who left the Jade Map for said that I would find the second Jade Map only when I return to the earth again. ”
It is the crazy Taoist. Lin Luoran knows it without checking the Jade Map.
Aside from the fact that only four people are present when Baojia was put into the soul wood, this seemingly absurd but wise action in actual can only be done by the crazy Taoist.
A Jade Map was right next to Baojia so that she would not be unard when she woke up.
The other Jade Map could only be discovered after she returned to the Earth. The crazy Taoist’s arrangent must have so reasons.
Lin Luoran says nothing for a while. There seems to be only one explanation for the matter. The crazy Taoist knew that the earth would change. On the day Baojia woke up, neither he nor Lin Luoran would be there for Baojia... The second Jade Map appeared because Baojia returned to the earth and the truth is so obvious—did Baojia want to find the mory of the past so she returned to the earth?
“Do you mind walking around the city with ?”
Lin Luoran does not expose Baojia’s thoughts. She smiles and invites her.
Baojia hesitates for a while and then nods in agreent.
Lin Luoran takes Baojia slowly down the mountain. After three hundred years of the earth’s drastic changes, she now has the opportunity to walk shoulder to shoulder with her old best friend. What else can she expect?
Qingcheng Villa has beco a relic. A group of mutant cockroaches have occupied the No.18 Villa of the forr Qingcheng Villa. Lin Luoran does not deliberately expose Baojia her forr identity. She just talks about so interesting things that happened in Qingcheng Villa when Baojia once helped take care of Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin in those three years.
The two of them go directly to the downtown. Of course, the beautiful scenery of the streets has totally changed. The vermilion gate of the Lins’ house has been rotten. Lin Luoran points to the village and says, “This place is another yard of the Lin family. It was you who encouraged to buy it.”
On the small Huan island, only withered bamboo roots are buried under the relic and rubble. The astonishing ancient houses of the Ming and Qing Dynasty have completely been different now. When they were here for the first ti, Master Jia used shrimp to make “Yunwo fragrant balls” for them to eat. There was also roasted ham with bamboo shoots on small Huan island. She feels it is so long ago that it is a previous life.
“It sounds like you had a pretty good life before.”
Baojia speaks for the first ti but Lin Luoran can’t hear her emotions. Lin Luoran shakes her head, “The Lin family moved from the countryside to the city only after I started my personal ability enhancent. In fact, your grandfather was the commander of the military division and you grew up in the capital. I have always felt so lucky that you wanted to be my friend.”
Baojia’s heart is touched. Did she ever have a grandpa?
Just when Baojia is about to ask the details, she suddenly notices a huge wave of the Wood Reiki erupting not far away.
Lin Luoran also looks at the sa direction. The green light has not dissipated. The Wood Reiki wave not only disturbs the two cultivators but also the large number of mutant monsters living in the city.
Even though the city has collapsed, with her extraordinary mory and eyesight, Lin Luoran can still rember what the place of green light was imdiately.
It was the small courtyard where Yang Lisha sold flowers back then!
...
Lin Luoran and Baojia stand side by side on a pile of broken bricks. The green light envelopes this place and sothing seems to be coming up from the ground. Because of piles of building relic on the ground, it cannot succeed for a while.
“Do you know this place?”
Lin Luoran nods. She keeps staring at the movent of the ground. The mutant monsters are roaring not far away. However, they are terrified because of Lin Luoran and Baojia’s strong aura so they are desired but don’t have the nerve to step forward.
The green light is very serene without tyrannical atmosphere. The environnt of the earth will not cultivate any magical restorative. This place is the place where Yang Lisha’s flower shop was. Is it possible that the female monster is going to get out?
Lin Luoran reminds of sothing and rolls away the ssy broken bricks and stone piled up on the original site. After a while, the green light finally breaks through the confinent of the scorched land and erges from the ground.
There is a big crack on the ground and a leafy Acacia tree erges from the ground. It slowly spreads its branches and leaves.
A group of monsters are restless. Spirit tree with abundant Wood Reiki is more tempting to them than ginseng. There have already been so mutant monsters ready to challenge Lin Luoran’s oppression.
Lin Luoran ignores the mutant monsters. She looks at the green vines entwining the Acacia tree.
Schisandra. How did Yang Lisha return to her original body?
The Acacia tree shakes its leaves and thick green mist spreads. When the green mist dissipates, only a young man in a yellow dress is there. The person looks so gorgeous with a unisex face which people can’t tell whether the person is a man or woman.
However, Lin Luoran’s old acquaintance whose body is Schisandra, female monster Yang Lisha, loses what she has been clinging and falls to the ground. She is now only a cyan vine.
The young man stands quietly for a while, seeming to be recalling sothing. What confused him gradually disappears. He looks down at the vine and sheds tears.
“Why do you...”
