Heimarian Odyssey - Chapter 1064
[Chapter 1064 Han Mansion]
“Tao… Taoism?!”
“This must be a fairy who knows the way!”
“I think so, otherwise, why would it disappear in the blink of an eye!”
“Hurry up, find this fairy, I want to learn from a teacher!”
“Let’s find each other separately!”
“Go and inform Lord Zhizhou…”
“…”
From the quarter of an hour when Locke disappeared, the people of Blackwater City gathered nearby fell into chaos and some kind of inexplicable frenzy.
Taoism and immortals have always been magical and magnificent things spread in the ordinary human world of Qingyang Realm. For these ordinary people living at the bottom of the world, legends are often heard but not obtained.
Now suddenly a monk with Taoism appeared in front of them, why not make these ordinary people excited and excited.
If you can get the guidance and blessings of the immortals, it is the good fortune of their cultivation for several lifetimes.
When the people of Heishui City fell into the enthusiasm of looking for the immortal, the immortal they had been looking for came to a simple mansion in the southwestern alley of Heishui City.
An old poplar tree was planted in front of the house. Judging from the memory of Han Shuo absorbed by Locke, when Han Shuo left here more than 30 years ago, this poplar tree was an upright young man. The trees also look a little decayed and old.
On a weather-beaten plaque, the word ‘Hanfu’ has been worn and turned pale.
“It seems that the family has fallen.” Under the bronze mask, Locke sighed.
When Han Shuo left thirty years ago, it was the period when the Han family was turning from prosperity to decline. Judging from the current state of the family, the relatives of the Han family have not been very happy these years.
He lightly knocked the copper ring in front of the door, and the rusty copper ring collided with the wooden door, making a series of ear-piercing ‘thumping’ sounds.
After waiting patiently for a few minutes, there was no movement from the mansion. Locke took his time and continued to buckle the copper ring patiently.
Using his tyrannical mental power of a third-level creature to detect, it is natural to see that this mansion is inhabited.
Sure enough, under Locke’s persistent knock on the door, about fifteen minutes later, a rush of footsteps came from the courtyard.
“Here we come, here we come.” I heard her voice before I saw her, and it should be a young girl who spoke.
The wooden door was pushed open with difficulty in the sound of “creak, creak”, so that Locke was very worried whether the wooden door would suddenly fall apart in the next second.
The wooden door opened, and a slim girl in navy blue clothes stood behind the door.
Holding a wooden basin in her hand, the basin was full of starched clothes, a few drops of sweat fell from her forehead, it seemed that this girl ran out of the mansion all the way.
Although she was panting tiredly, the woman did not show any gaffe. After standing upright, she asked Locke politely, “Who are you, are you here to find someone?”
The Han family was a well-known scholarly family in Heishui City decades ago. Han Shuo was able to join the outer sect of Hai Lanzong not only because of his aptitude of the three lines of miscellaneous spiritual roots, but also because of the help of the family behind him.
This woman is obviously influenced by the atmosphere of her family, and she speaks in a leisurely and somewhat polite way, combined with her sweaty face at this moment, I feel pity for her.
There are a lot of clothes in the wooden basin in her hand, which is really embarrassing for this girl. Locke can tell that her age should be only about sixteen years old.
Because she was wearing a bronze mask, the woman couldn’t see Locke’s expression clearly, let alone his appearance. Seeing that this strange man didn’t say a word for a long time, she felt a little strange.
Maybe staying at home all year round is only accompanied by poems and books, but this woman didn’t feel any difference because of the Taoist robe that Locke was wearing.
In fact, this girl hadn’t been out of the house for several years.
“Well, cough cough, may I ask Han Zhenggong, is Master Han still there?” Locke asked. Han Zhenggong is Han Shuo’s father, and should be Han Shuo’s closest family member in this world who lost his mother when he was young.
Locke’s question made the woman’s eyes widen. After looking back and forth at Locke for a few times, she slowly said, “My great-grandfather passed away thirty years ago. Who are you? How did you know my great-grandfather?” ?”
If it wasn’t for the strict reciting of the Han family’s genealogy, it is estimated that this girl would only know the elders of her grandfather’s generation at most, so how could she know the situation of her great-grandfather.
“Thirty years ago…” Facing the woman’s rhetorical question, Locke did not rush to answer, but sighed slightly melancholy.
He was not sighing for Han Shuo, but for the short life of the low life.
After being promoted to a sky knight, he has a lifespan of more than a thousand years. Thirty years is just a flick of a finger in Locke’s eyes, but for these low-level lives below the first level, thirty years almost covers most of their lives.
“What’s your name?” Locke asked the woman in front of him.
Under normal circumstances, the woman would definitely not casually reveal her name to strangers, but when faced with Locke’s understated and unquestionable question, she subconsciously replied, “Han Xueer.”
“Han Xue’er? Well, not bad.” Locke said with a smile. The girl’s skin is fair and beautiful, and she can indeed be called the word ‘Xue’er’.
Different from Locke’s relaxed and comfortable, Han Xueer screamed “Yeah” after saying her name unconsciously, then ran to the backyard in a panic holding the wooden basin in her arms.
In the past sixteen years, she has not spoken to strangers more than ten times, and she has even less chance to talk to strangers of the opposite sex. Today, she came up and told her name in a daze. Why don’t you make this little girl feel ashamed? Panic.
Human women in Qingyang Realm are generally conservative, especially here in Dayun Country, where dogmatism and three obedience and four virtues are very prevalent. Unless they are relatives, they will never have too much communication with the opposite sex.
Even if it is a husband who will get married in the future, it is normal that the husband and wife have not even met each other before marriage.
Han Xueer ran all the way to the inner mansion, which made Locke outside the door a little embarrassed.
“Could it be that wearing this mask scared her?” Locke couldn’t help thinking.
Then he took off the bronze mask, and Locke also stepped into Han Shuo’s memory, the Han Mansion that he had not seen for more than thirty years.
The Han Mansion has indeed declined too much over the years. There are dozens of courtyards, and more than half of them are unused. Moreover, there is no furniture in the courtyard, and it is a bare area.
Although the remaining half of the courtyard can be seen from time to time, the traces of frequent cleaning can be seen, but the courtyard is also impoverished and very simple.

There are only three popular yards in total. They are the yard where Han Xueer ran into, the yard where a gray old woman stayed, and the yard where a middle-aged man was lying on a couch.
Following Han Xueer’s footsteps, Locke entered the yard where she ran into. This time he finally met an ‘acquaintance’ in his memory.
