(1) The Barrier of Yueyin Village (2)
Following the direction of the wind blowing the petals, Xu Mo walked along the shallow narrow path arranged by the stones to the depths of the forest. Soon, he saw that there seemed to be lights not far away.
The purple dog tail grass sways in the same direction. The huge purple vines growing under the rhizomes of different plants from all directions in the ground and forest surrounded a distant area. The lantern-shaped flowers on the wisteria are filled with light purple light, and the dark forest is illuminated by the core of the flower core of the wisteria.
At the entrance of the earth boundary where wisteria weaving circles, a huge lantern flower hangs high above the vineyard. A circular totem appears in the center of the ground under the vineyard. On both sides of the totem are two guards with the same cat ear as Xu Mo, leaning under the vine to chat.
When Xu Mo ran over, the two guards turned to look at him in unison, and the one on the left asked him with a smile: "Are you a newborn under the Bauhinia tree?"
"It should be. Is this... Yue Hidden Village?" Xu Mo asked politely.
"Yes, this is Yuexiong Village, your birthplace." The one on the right smiled exactly like the one on the left, then pointed to the circular totem between them and said to Xumo, "Please stand here."
Xu Mo walked to the center of the totem as he spoke. The purple light pattern on the totem immediately rotated, and then a strong purple light enveloped Xu Mo from bottom to top, causing him to close his eyes unconsciously... After the strong light shining disappeared through his eyelids, he opened his eyes again and found that he was already in the middle of a lively square.
-
The ground that is trampled by the feet has wood patterns and exudes the fragrance of the forest. Looking around, many wooden houses seem to be arranged in a wrong way, but if you observe carefully, you will find that these houses are integrated with the ground, and each one seems to be a work of art grown by nature.
The purple vines can be seen everywhere here, turning into circles, but only seen through the gaps of the vines. There are many hanging gaps blowing through the wind, which made Xu Mo quickly understand that he was standing on the top of an extremely huge tree, and its branches were transformed into the roads and land here, while the stems and leaves worked together with the efforts of the people here to weave a wonderful house structure.
In addition, a huge vine in the distance spread into the sky with the momentum of the sky. There were countless lanterns and flowers on it, which were very eye-catching. Looking at Xu Mo was amazed. There were many men and women standing in the square, some of whom had the same cat ears as them, some of whom were just hurried past, some stood on one side to hawk goods, and some were staying in the corner to stare blankly or sleep.
"A newcomer?" A strong cat-eared man wore a set of white light armor, a cloak with a moon pattern on his back, and a sledgehammer hung around his waist. He had walked to Xu Mo at some point.
"Yes...I just came." Xu Mo looked at him in a daze.
"Very good, welcome to wake up, there is another hope in this world. My name is Grom, and I am the commander of the guards of Yue Hidden Village. Every time a new person appears, I will wait here." Grom held hands and saluted Xumo.
Xu Mo immediately responded with a military salute in accordance with the same style.
At this time, Grom pulled out a letter from the gap in the light armor's wrist and explained to Xu Mo: "This is your letter of proof as a new student in Yueyin Village - walk around a vine in the northeast direction, and you will see the hotel and give it to the hotel owner, and she will arrange a place for you to live in."
"Thanks."
Xu Mo took the letter and was about to inquire about the world from the commander, but he spoke first: "There are many adventurers in the hotel. If you want to collect information, go to the hotel." After saying that, he saluted another military salute and began to patrol the square.
"Northeast, Northeast..." Xu Mo went around in the same place. When he turned to a direction, his cat's ears flipped involuntarily a few times. His intuition was correct, so he stepped and trotted away.
Bypassing the obstruction of a vine, Xu Mo indeed saw a brightly lit and lively three-story wooden house with wine glasses and bed symbols hanging on the door sign, which should be the hotel.
-
Pushing open the half-height wooden turntable, there was a warm and lively scene. The orange candlelight covers were placed under the lampshade made of lantern flowers, placed on the table, roof beam, and ground. In short, the room was full of people. In addition to most of the same tribes with cat ears, Xu Mo also saw several characters with pale faces, silver hair, big tails and ears, and their bodies were slightly larger than most of those with cat ears. People mingled with joy, and there was only one silver hair and waist-wearing silver tail, and a white-clothed silver tail, holding a guqin, singing songs that he couldn't understand. There seemed to be a faint sadness hidden in the song. When Xu Mo walked past him, he heard it, he felt so intuition.
"You are the owner of the hotel? This is the letter Grom asked me to give you." Xu Mo walked through the bar area and walked to the front desk at the end, saying to Ms. Maoer, who was busy settled the score behind the counter.
"Newcomer~ Welcome!~" Ms. Maoer opened the envelope and glanced at it, and immediately smiled on her face, "Oh, I haven't seen newcomers for a while recently. I really miss the scene of the crowds of newcomers coming in earlier!"
"Have you not had a newcomer for a long time? Why did I see it very lively here?" Xu Mo pointed to the lively wine table behind him.
"I'm talking about new people! Real new people are like you who just woke up from the Bauhinia tree! No, I haven't seen it for a long time, and now the people here are people who have been in the village for a while. Most of them have never seen any world, of course, they can't blame them. I heard that the world outside is not very good, and it's safest to stay in Yueyin Village." As he said that, the proprietress pointed to the white stone on the table. This stone is very similar to the city stone in Xumobao in the shape and color, but it's just a circle larger, with a piece of kraft paper under the stone.
"Stretch out your hand and place it on the stone back to the city to register." The boss's wife instructed.
Although I didn't understand very well, Xu Mo still obediently placed his right hand on the stone, and a warm feeling flowed through his palm. A row of strange dark purple graphic fonts automatically appeared on the kraft paper under the stone, but Xu Mo was naturally able to understand its meaning - Xu Mo, male, Yuexiu Village Warrior, Level 1.
"Very good! Since your registration has been completed, your room has been arranged. Go up the second floor and walk right, and the room with your name on the door sign is the one with your name on the door sign." The boss lady kept smiling, "If you are tired, go upstairs to rest. If you need other instructions, please speak up. Because this is your birthplace, staying in the hotel is free, but food requires money! ~--Although freshmen have a free meal discount for three days, you will have to prepare the money for eating and drinking after three days. My suggestion is to quickly go to the owner of the diagonal grocery store to learn herb collection skills. I have been collecting herbs here to ensure you have money to make money. By the way, you don't have any combat skills now, right? The warrior trainer should be in the weapon shop next to the chief's house. If you don't have any fighting skills, it's very dangerous."
After listening to the hotel owner's lots of tips, Xu Mo could understand where he would go next, but these were not the focus of his concern.
[Our Brave Continent is a very open and huge world! The so-called open world does not have a designated route! What every brave man does will have an impact on this continent...] Xu Mo suddenly recalled Teresa's introduction and made a decision to break the rules and see how open the world can be open to.
So, Xu denied the real look at Ms. Maoer behind the bar and asked, "Boss, I want to go to Hongyue Castle, do you know how to go?"
"Hongyue Castle?" The boss lady showed a puzzled expression, "What is this place? I have never heard of it."
"Aren't there people coming and going here every day? You should have seen many people? Have you never met any adventurer from Hongyue Castle?" Xu Mo felt that the boss's reaction was not in line with the setting.
"No... we are the sons of the forest protected by the soul. We have been protected by the guardian prophet Claya for hundreds of years. Only the forest people with the same blood can be allowed by the soul and Claya to break through the barrier and enter the Moon Hidden Village. So I have never seen anyone from the Hongyue Castle." The boss's wife answered seriously with her chin, and then there was a sound of greeting her to drink quickly. She immediately raised her cat's ears and filled with the bright smile just now and said to Xumo, "I'll go and have any questions to talk about it later."

After the boss's wife jumped away, Xu Mo turned around and met the white-tailed boy who was sitting on the side and playing the guqin with his hands and singing sad songs, with his sad eyes.
Xu Mo walked forward unconsciously. Before he spoke, the boy in white started the show: "Do you want to go to Hongyue Castle?" His voice was ethereal and a faint fragrance. There seemed to be a spell in his silver-white eyes, which made Xu Mo feel a little dazed for a moment.
"Yes... I want to go to Hongyue Castle." I forced myself to calm down, Xu Mo swallowed the saliva that was blocking his throat and replied.
The boy in white smiled and asked him in a teasing tone: "I can't tell you whether you can go to Hongyue Castle... I can't be sure if you can leave Yuexiu Village..."
"Why? How did I just enter Yueyin Village and how would I leave Yueyin Village in the future?" Xu Mo still didn't understand what he meant.
"The newly born and landed Bauhinia tree still belongs to the scope of the Moon Hidden Village. All of this is defined by the barrier of the Guardian Prophet Claya. So far, I can guarantee that you have never left the Moon Hidden Village... In fact, there are very few people who can walk out of the barrier of Claya, let alone you are still a newcomer who knows nothing..." As he said that, the boy raised his wide sleeves and covered the corners of his mouth and coughed twice, "I see that you are like this, you can't get out of it for a year or two..."
