Chapter 226 A fish out of water, an old friend now(1/3)
The real appearance of the strange female cultivator has changed, and in the process, her self-perception seems to have also changed.
She just left the island where she once lived, came to the end of Baiyue Bay, and became Granny Bai.
Before going back to this step, Meng Zhou had not realized that something was wrong.
But after tracing back to such changes, Meng Zhou immediately discovered many strange things.
The neighbors in Baiyue Bay almost immediately accepted the existence of Granny Bai.
Although there are some similarities in the physical appearance of Granny Bai and Bai Zhi who once lived here, it is easy to think of the close relationship between them.
But the speed of acceptance is still a bit too "silky".
This quiet, moistening and silent transformation reminded Meng Zhou of what happened to Yaya and Granny Bai after they woke up after discovering the inscriptions of "Hundred Knots" recorded on the protruding stone wall.
transformation.
In addition, Meng Zhou was very concerned about another change.
Before the strange female cultivator became "Grandma Bai", her understanding of knots was the same as that of other low-level cultivators.
Completely ignorant and clueless.
After she became "White Granny", she naturally mastered some rudimentary rope-tying skills, and barely reached the threshold of a first-level low-level rope knotter.
You can make a living by knitting some items suitable for monks in the early stage of Qi training.
Some of the skills related to the knot master seemed to have entered her heart when her true body changed.
"She woke up at that time and sat quietly on the bed for a long time. Perhaps she was digesting the corresponding knowledge?"
Meng Zhou speculated in his mind.
Whether it's Yaya's line or Bai Po's line, going back to the end, there are discoveries that surprised Meng Zhou.
But it failed to give him a clear answer to the answer he really wanted to pursue.
Instead, it let him know that tracing the two lines of Yaya and Granny Bai has reached the end.
Even if you pursue these two lines further, you will not gain anything.
"Well, it can't be said that there will be no more gains. If we can follow the two lines of Yaya's parents and the strange female nun.
If we pursue him more than 160 years ago, we should be able to trace him to the bloodline ancestor Yanzhuang."
Although he did not delve into the past of the strange female cultivator, Meng Zhou was basically certain that she was also a descendant of Yanzhuang's blood.
Although the doubts remain unsolved, Meng Zhou does not intend to continue digging along these two lines.
What's more, the quality of his current soul cannot support him to go back in time to such a long time in the past.
Yanzhuang's ability to achieve this with the sixth level of pill formation was not due to himself, but to the nearly two hundred years of soul power reserves stored in that special divine soul armor.
…
Tracing the two lines of Yaya and Granny Bai failed to solve some of Meng Zhou's doubts.
But this is not an answer.
After eliminating these two lines, Meng Zhou could basically determine where the most important line was.
"Angelica dahurica."
In the final analysis, the problem comes back to Bai Zhi.
And it is not difficult to find traces of Angelica dahurica.
After returning to the end of Baiyue Bay, Meng Zhou stared at the area where Granny Bai's grocery store was and continued to look back in time.
Soon, he caught the traces of Angelica dahurica.
And the first time he captured traces of Angelica dahurica in this area - in the normal timeline, it was actually the last time Angelica dahurica appeared here, which happened to be the day when Granny Bai moved in, so the time was shifted by about half a day.
At that time, Granny Bai was not "Grandma Bai", she was still a strange female nun, and she was still living well on another small island that spanned most of the Jade Lake.
Then, Meng Zhou completely traced back and restored Bai Zhi's life trajectory in Baiyue Bay. Meng Zhou was shocked and surprised.
Finally, he calmed down all his thoughts and just watched and thought quietly.
…
When Bai Zhi first appeared at the end of Baiyue Bay, she still seemed quite young.
In his early twenties, with a fourth level of Qi training, and with the label of "the remnant of the Yan family" on his head, he carefully and low-key took root at the end of Baiyue Bay.
At this time, apart from her excellent talent in cultivation, which seemed to be self-taught without a teacher, her mysterious inheritance as a painter, and her unique "talent" that could ignore any formation restrictions, she showed no other special features.
.
And she also knows that as a "remnant of the Yan family", these are the sources of trouble.
Therefore, she never dared to make a living through these means.
And it is impossible for her to delay her own cultivation progress.
Therefore, during that period, her biggest problem was the lack of resources and spiritual stones.
Whenever she was in short supply of spiritual stones, she would use some secret channels to sell some insensitive practices, spells and other items for cash.
The "Water Nourishing Technique" that finally passed through the hands of the original owner of this body was the one that flowed out of Bai Zhi's hands during that period.
Such a peaceful and fulfilling life passed by for more than ten years.
Bai Zhi's cultivation has reached the ninth level of Qi training without her realizing it, and her profession as a painter has also reached the peak of the first level.
And since Bai Zhi's cultivation reached the late stage of Qi training, her behavior gradually became strange.
Baiyue Bay is not even considered top-notch among the first-level spiritual lands. The best spiritual land is at the head of the bay, which is occupied by a cultivating family. It continues to lie dormant at the end of the bay, which is becoming increasingly detrimental to the growth of Bai Zhi.
As a practitioner, in order to pursue a broader world, it is a natural choice to leave Baiyue Bay and go to a spiritual island with higher quality spiritual land, or simply leave Jade Lake.
What's more, even if they don't start from their own cultivation, they know that Cuiyu Lake has ulterior motives and have been sparing no effort to track down the "remnants of the Yan family".
So, leaving Cuijade Lake and traveling to other spiritual veins seems to be an easy way to think of.
But Bai Zhi rarely has such thoughts.
Even though her cultivation reached the late stage of Qi training, it became increasingly difficult to stay in Baiyue Bay to practice. She occasionally had the idea of "leaving this place and leaving Jade Lake" in her mind.
But after one night, this thought will disappear again.
The waves that arose in her heart were quietly smoothed away time and time again.
As Bai Zhi's cultivation level got higher and higher, the thoughts of leaving became more and more frequent.
Although, these thoughts will soon be quietly wiped away by some invisible force.
But Bai Zhi finally gradually realized that she was inappropriate.
Because she is a painter.
When her thoughts cross a certain limit, they will be corrected again and again by an invisible force, but she is able to convey certain emotions through the form of paintings.
Bai Zhi, who had been re-corrected, did not know that she had ever thought of leaving again and again, but when she looked at these paintings, the emotions contained in those paintings rushed into her heart instantly.
Objectively speaking, in the memories that have been corrected and updated time and time again, Bai Zhi cannot see her true self.
Even though she was in the middle of the game, she couldn't see her true face clearly.
But she relied on the magic of the painter's profession and her sensitive, unreasonable intuition as an art professional to feel the fact that she was in a special state of imprisonment.
Of course, at that time, she only felt psychologically and emotionally that the world was a cage and she was a prisoner.
She had no idea what the real reason was.
Moreover, due to regular "corrective grooming", this emotion is only intermittent.
Many times, she even attributes this irregular "depression" to her own sensitivity and pretentiousness, and laughs at herself about it.
This intermittent nervousness began to appear after her cultivation reached the late stage of Qi training.
And as her cultivation and career as a painter continued to progress, it became more and more frequent.
However, because of the existence of that invisible force, she can always be "corrected" again and again.
Until one day, Bai Zhi had another "nervous" attack.
At this moment, her attack symptoms were getting more and more serious. Not only was she feeling restless and unable to control herself, but her hands and fingers were also twisting and turning uncontrollably.
During this attack, in order to distract herself, she picked up a ball of string beside her.
As his hands came into contact with the string, the fingers that were twisting randomly suddenly became much calmer.
However, it didn't stop.
Instead, they tie one knot after another.
Meng Zhou clearly saw that as the dense knots were born between Bai Zhi's flexible and slender fingers, her mood became more and more peaceful.
It was as if her nervous, restless, and uncontrollable emotional changes flowed from her body, from her heart, along her hands and fingers, and transferred to each of the knots.
When Bai Zhi's hands and fingers became calm again, her expression also became calm again.
His eyes became calm and peaceful.
It is a tranquility that has never appeared in Bai Zhi before.
Then, she strolled out of the room, walked on the sparkling water of Jade Lake, and walked out of Baiyue Bay.
