Another night of snow.

After sunrise, the eaves of the Snow Forbidden City were covered with ice, and the hanging ice shards were blown by the wind and fell to the ground.

Bai Clan Hall.

The decoration style here is very elegant. The centuries-old wooden houses are arranged in an orderly manner and have not been corroded by the years. Every year after the freezing snow, the redwoods in the ancient houses will glow with new vitality.

There is a long-standing ginkgo tree planted in the courtyard.

The wicker chair under the ginkgo tree swayed slowly. A woman sat on the chair and took a nap. Her long hair was disheveled. She was holding a book and watching silently. The wind blew her long black hair and also moved the pages of the book, making a clattering sound.

sound.

Just looking at this picture, it’s hard to believe.

This woman sitting quietly reading a book in the Bai family's ancestral hall is the eldest lady of the Bai family, Bai Lu, known as the "witch".

"Miss...are you not going out today?"

A waiter came with water, and she asked curiously.

In the past few days, I have always seen the young lady reading under the tree in the ancestral hall. This is not in line with... the young lady's usual personality.

"...No."

Bai Lu shook her head.

She concentrated on reading the book and said softly: "I will be meditating in the ancestral hall these days, and I won't go anywhere... Just put the water here."

The waiter put down the water glass and left slowly.

"It's...unprecedented."

Not far away.

When the two elders who came to the ancestral hall for business saw this scene, they couldn't help whispering and sighing.

Bai Lu, a little witch, has always gone out to cause trouble since she was able to walk. The days like today where she can sit quietly in the yard reading a book... are simply a handful.

In other words, unheard of!

Anyway, they have never seen it.

"The 'Ginkgo' in the ancestral hall has the effect of protecting evil spirits and bringing blessings. It was planted by the ancestors of the Bai family and has a longevity of hundreds of years."

Bai Lu closed the page and let out a sigh of relief.

"Hiding here... you shouldn't encounter the so-called 'ominous disaster', right?"

No one would have thought of it.

The reason why the witch of the Bai family, who once caused unrest in the Snow Forbidden City, was willing to "change her mind" and hide in her old house to study in seclusion was because of a prophecy of just ten digits.

["Miss Bai, you have been surrounded by bad omens these days. It is best not to go out, otherwise disaster may befall you."]

But it just so happened that the person who said this was a divination disciple of Master Qianye, the guardian of the tomb!

This is why Bai Lu doesn't believe it.

If Bai Lu knew now... that "ominous omen" was just a casual comment by Gu Shen to scare herself.

I'm afraid I'll be so angry that I'll try to kill him again.

However, the past few days of meditation were not fruitless. She felt that her mood was much more peaceful...but she always flashed back to the scene she saw in "Dream of Thorns" in her mind.

Black flowers bloom and the Ninghe River burns up.

On the dry riverbed, stood a girl in a white dress who looked like a god.

This picture is burned into my mind.

Bai Lu wanted to forget, but she couldn't... She was born with keen intuition. After leaving that dream, she subconsciously felt that this memory picture seemed to have a very important meaning to herself?

Now she probably knows that this "mysterious girl" who appears in her memory is the second successor of Qingzhong divination.

This is also the reason why she is willing to study and meditate in the Bai clan's ancestral hall.

She didn't really trust Gu Shen.

But she was willing to believe...that mysterious girl in the dream.

Then a mysterious guidance led her to the ancestral hall and immersed herself in an uninhabited place.

She tried to use her own strength to silently find the "answer" in her heart.

It's just that the "answer" is not that easy to find... Reading, eating, practicing meditation, and meditating can make you feel peaceful and return to the end of Ning He's memory, but after that, there will be no more

Any gain.

I can only explain one thing.

Gu Shen told the truth.

This mysterious "second successor of divination" must have very strong mental power. He can enter his own dreams silently and erase all traces...

It's a pity that Gu Shen didn't want to say more.

As for that mysterious girl... Bai Lu didn't even know her last name.

If you want to find someone based on a portrait, what you see in your memory of "Ning He" is actually just a face that looks like a model of Hu, glowing with snow-white brilliance, and cannot be printed out at all.

…

…

The ginkgo trees swayed.

A fallen leaf floats slowly.

It fell on the pages of Bai Lu's book, and at the same time, a gentle voice came from her ear.

"You've been acting out of character these past few days."

The speaker is several miles away from the ancestral hall, and his spiritual power is very strong. He can gather into a line, span thousands of meters, and reach the ginkgo tree in the ancestral hall.

Bai Lu smiled helplessly.

She closed the page, stretched, and said, "I'm tired from all the hard work... take a rest."

"I'm very happy for you, brother."

The only one who can use this title is Bai Chen.

Bai Chen smiled and said, "You must have felt it, right? From today on, there will be more people in the ancestral hall?"

Bai Lu nodded. At this moment, people were already coming in and out.

Although they are all some distance away from the ginkgo trees.

But the sound is inevitably a bit noisy.

"The Presbyterian Church has become very busy these days, and when it's time to worship ancestors, the ancestral hall will not be so clean, and there will be many people... If you feel that the ancestral hall is too noisy, I can take you to a different environment.

." Bai Chen sent a message: "How?"

“It’s nice here.”

Bai Lu raised her head, looked at Ginkgo, and whispered softly: "Safe."

Safety?

Bai Chen was slightly startled.

"Gu Shen gave me a fortune-telling and said that I have been plagued by bad luck recently, so I should try to reduce my travels as much as possible." The eldest lady of the Bai family briefly moved her body, stretched her muscles, drank some water, sat down again, and spread out her books.

Hearing this... Bai Chen's expression became slightly weird.

He couldn't help but want to laugh.

Although Gu Shen is the successor of Master Qianye.

But...why does this sound like it was said casually?

No matter what, it is a good thing that my sister believes it.

I have been very busy in the prison these days, so I can feel much more relaxed without this witch causing trouble.

"So... you have made up your mind to stay in the ancestral hall? Don't you want to go outside and take a look?"

Bai Chen sighed and spoke tentatively.

"Um……"

Bai Ludan said calmly, "I won't go out anymore. Nagano has been looking the same for more than ten years. What's so good about it?"

"Is that so..."

Bai Chen smiled broadly and pretended to be nonchalant and wrote: "Xiao Xiu is back today, are you sure you don't want to go and have a look?"

After saying these words, he removed his mental power.

The wind is blowing.

Ginkgo trees rustled down.
