Seven Strings in Dreams

Yu Jue: "Fifth Brother, it's safe, you can come in now."

Linlang: "Let's go! Let's go in first."

Yu Jue moved all the things inside, left the torches for everyone, and went out to collect branches. Yu Jue moved quickly, and a fire started in the cave, which suddenly became bright.

Meng Xianyu: "Let's take a break and then start."

Wu Na: “Okay”

Meng Xianyu walked to the fish basket and squatted down.

Meng Xianyu: "Senior, I'm sorry for wronging you."

Wu Na: "Xianyu, come and read the letter! There may be some clues in it."

Meng Xianyu: "Look at my memory! I'll be right there"

Shanhu looked at the cave. The entrance was very small and well hidden, making it difficult to find. The cave was not big, but it could easily accommodate a dozen people.

Shanhu: "Wuna, how did you find this place? This cave is good for sheltering from the wind, but it doesn't seem to be natural, and there are signs of human habitation."

Wu Na: "Sometimes I miss the time to collect herbs, or the mountain road is difficult to walk on rainy days, so I occasionally rest here."

Linlang: "You are quite courageous"

Wu Na: "The first time I came here, I accidentally provoked a wild boar. I was hiding here and there and got lost. It was this cave that saved me."

Linlang: "How did you provoke a wild boar?"

Wu Na: "I found a kind of fruit that looked juicy, so I couldn't help but pick one. Unexpectedly, before I had time to eat it, the wild boar rushed over."

Linlang: "You are so brave! You are so lucky."

While they were chatting, Meng Xianyu had already opened the letter. The letter was three pages long.

Meng Xianyu started to feel sleepy after reading one page. Traditional Chinese characters were not difficult to understand, after all, she was a Japanese major. But the letter was written very carefully, equivalent to an ancient Chinese article written in high school or even college.

This is a huge challenge for Meng Xianyu.

Shanhu: "Xianyu, you've been looking for a long time, what did you find? Why do you look like that?"

Wu Na: "Yes! Do you know the origin and name of the predecessor? How should the words on the tombstone be written?"

Meng Xianyu: "Tombstone?"

Wu Na: "Just make a flat piece of wood and carve it out."

Meng Xianyu: "I haven't really thought about this, Wu Na, why don't you read it to everyone? It's really boring to me."

Wu Na: "You ask me to read it, but I can't. I don't understand it."

Meng Xianyu: "Don't understand?"

Yu Jue: "Well, take your time to read the letter. If we want to bury that senior, we must choose a place. Then I will go out and see where is suitable."

Linlang: "Don't go too far, be careful"

Yu Jue: "Don't worry, brother."

Wu Na: "Guardian Yu Jue, we have made an appointment with Guardian Wei Qi to meet here. If you meet Guardian Wei Qi or Elder Ge Le, please bring them here."

Yu Jue: "Don't worry. Yu Jue is a rough man and doesn't understand Feng Shui, so please don't blame me if the place I choose is not good."

Meng Xianyu: "Don't worry, Guardian Yu Jue. I can't thank you enough."

Yu Jue: “Okay”

After Yu Jue left, several people studied the letter. Wu Na and Shan Hu did not understand the traditional Chinese characters, they only knew some simple characters.

Fortunately, Linlang was proficient in many languages, so this important task was handed over to him.

Linlang took the letter, frowned, and read it roughly. She understood what it meant.

Linlang: "Miss Xianyu, aren't you afraid of me and you're talking nonsense everywhere?"

Meng Xianyu: "Don't doubt people when you employ them, don't doubt people when you employ them. Please, Protector Zuo, give me a brief explanation."

After saying this, Meng Xianyu took out a bag of candy and a bag of melon seeds from her arms and shared them with Shanhu and Wu Na.

Linlang looked at the three girls with a helpless look on her face, and read the letter resignedly.

Linlang: "The three pages of this letter are written to three different people. The last page is about Miss Xianyu."

Meng Xianyu: "I read it. The first one is to her brother! I roughly understood it, but it is really obscure and difficult to understand. Please explain it to me. Please tell me more about the second and third letters."

Linlang: "This first letter is written to her brother Yao Qi, whose courtesy name is Yuanshan. It explains that Miss Yao took five disciples to Huandan Academy last fall and did not return until the sixteenth day of the first lunar month."

Meng Xianyu: "Huan Dan College? Go on."

Linlang: "This time, the five disciples have made great progress and gained a lot. There are a total of ten people returning from this trip. Among them are two disciples from Huandan College who are out traveling and want to visit Shuitian College first."

Meng Xianyu: "Shuitian?"

Meng Xianyu quickly covered her mouth and continued listening.

Linlang: "I hope you can tell the dean to tell the elders to discipline the disciples and not to bring shame to the academy. As for the other two, they are the disciples that Miss Yao wants to take back."

Meng Xianyu: "Shuitian College? Huandan College? These names are too ugly."

Wu Na: “I think it’s pretty good.”

Shanhu: "This Shuitian Academy is very famous in Xianling Island. The sky and water are one color, isn't it nice? As for the Huandan Academy? I heard that they have a lot of alchemists there. One third of the elixirs on the mainland come from Huandan Academy. Don't underestimate them."

Meng Xianyu: "Okay! Then I will accept it reluctantly!"

Wu Na: "Then what kind of name do you think is more suitable?"

Meng Xianyu: "Be more domineering, such as: Tianyan College, Zhizun College, Beiming College, etc."

Coral: “It sounds really good!”

Wu Na: "I don't know if Xianyu comes from Huandan College."

Meng Xianyu: “Probably not”

Linlang glanced at the few people and took a piece of candy and put it in her mouth.

Meng Xianyu: "What does this second page say?"

Linlang: "This second page is written for her Taoist partner. Do you really need to explain?"

Meng Xianyu: "Daoist companion?"

Linlang: "A Taoist couple is a couple who are not married. A Taoist couple generally refers to people with similar ideals... There is a deeper meaning in this, and it is inconvenient to talk nonsense with you kids. It is enough for you to know that they are a couple."

Meng Xianyu: "Well... no need to go into too much detail, just pick out the key points"

Linlang's ears turned a little red, but luckily no one noticed him.

Linlang: "That's basically it, Dong Ge, I've been missing you for several months."

Meng Xianyu: "Is this the point?"

Linlang: "Isn't there a sentence related to Miss Yao's name? Do you think I want to read it?"

Meng Xianyu: "Don't get excited! Just continue"

Linlang: "Recently, Yueyun often dreams about the time when she first met Dong Ge. Her clothes are getting looser and she has no appetite."

Linlang stopped.

Meng Xianyu: "Why did you stop?"

Linlang: "The rest is nothing important, they are just love words"

Wu Na: "So your name should be Yueyun?"

Linlang: "Yao Yueyun"

Meng Xianyu: "Just from the name, I know that the senior must have been an extremely beautiful woman when she was alive."

Linlang: “I’ve heard of her name”

Meng Xianyu: "Have you heard of it?"

Linlang: "Fairy Yueyun, Yao Qi, Vice President of Shuitian College, and Yao Yuanshan's sister"

Meng Xianyu: "Could it be that this senior is not Yao Yueyun at all? Maybe Fairy Yueyun has escaped from danger!"

Linlang: "So, when you go to the fairyland in the future, don't act rashly. You must go to the academy first to clarify things."

Coral: "What a pity. Regardless of whether the body in the fish basket is Fairy Yueyun, she is still a pitiful person."

Meng Xianyu: "Let's talk about the future later"

Linlang: "This Fairy Yueyun has countless suitors and is already thirty years old this year."

Shanhu: "I remember now! The owner of Qingyan Island, Fairy Yueyun who Mu Shixue has been pursuing for ten years."

Linlang: “That’s right.”

Meng Xianyu: "Mu Sixue, it sounds like a very elegant name. This island is not like the north, so why is it named after snow?"

Coral: "It's not the white snow, it's the murder of cruelty, the blood of blood"

Meng Xianyu: "This..."

Linlang: "Next time you hear this name, stay away from it, to avoid being caught."

Meng Xianyu: "This should be some kind of disease."

Linlang: "I heard that he was killed while practicing martial arts and became possessed. He is lucky to be alive."

Meng Xianyu: "Well, let's continue reading the letter."

Linlang: "Don't worry, Fairy Yueyun has always claimed that she doesn't have a Taoist partner. It seems that she is afraid that Mu Shixue will know."

Shanhu: "Hearing what you said, have you guessed who this Dong brother is?"

Linlang: "I am just guessing, I don't mean to offend Fairy Yueyun."

Coral: “Who is it?”

Linlang: "Shaodong, the elder of the Foreign Affairs College"

Shanhu: "No way! I heard that Shaodong is a plain-looking middle-aged man, and his abilities are not as good as those of the elders in the inner courtyard."

Linlang: "When it comes to love, there is no such thing as too late. If you like someone, it doesn't matter if they have no merits."

Meng Xianyu: "If you are useless, what do you like?"

Linlang: "I was wrong. I shouldn't have told you all this. Just continue reading the letter!"

Linlang took out the last piece of paper and explained in detail.

Linlang: "Yueyun did this without the consent of the dean, so I apologize to the dean. I also hope that the dean can listen to Yueyun's detailed explanation. Yueyun took the disciples to practice around the academy. The Huandan people mainly collected herbs. Yueyun wanted to take Shuitian disciples to practice hunting, so the two sides practiced separately. When they reached the depths of the forest, the mountains were covered with snow and they could not tell the direction. Yueyun and the disciples got separated. At night, Yueyun was unlucky and encountered a pack of wolves. Yueyun was exhausted and was rescued. The rescuer was a young girl who had never practiced and was a little stupid, but she looked very much like that man. The girl's surname was Meng and her name was Xianyu. This time when I returned, I brought the girl back, and I also found a farmer girl with good qualifications. The farmer girl's name was Qingyang, and now she was alone, so I brought her back. I did not discuss the matter of these two people with the dean, and I hope the dean will forgive me."

Linlang folded the letter, put it back into the envelope, and handed it back to Meng Xianyu.

Linlang: "How is it, silly girl, do you have anything to say?"

Meng Xianyu: "You are the stupid one!"

Meng Xianyu put the letters away, thinking that she would return them when she had the chance. After all, the letter roughly mentioned her origins, but she still couldn't infer who she was. She only knew that the owner of this body was originally named Meng Xianyu, and she was a silly girl. Meng Xianyu was actually a little depressed after hearing this. Originally, Meng Xianyu thought that since she had traveled through time, she would have relatives this time. Even if she was not the original owner, she would definitely take good care of the relatives for the original owner, but there was still no such opportunity. Meng Xianyu didn't know why she was a helpless person with unknown origins. Life after life, it was always like this. Doesn't she, Meng Xianyu, deserve to have relatives? Is she destined to be abandoned? What's wrong with her?
