Lady Lin’s First-ever Journey to Immortality

Chapter 355 - Another Mount Fuji



Chapter 355 Another Mount Fuji

“She has been down there for more than ten minutes?”

There is a strong smell of sulfur near the crater of Mount Fuji. When Lin Luoran and other people arrive, it has been more than ten minutes since Lin Qingxue went down to the crater.

He Fei tells them what they have found. Lin Luoran also suspects that the footprints down to the crater not long ago are from Lin Luodong and Huang Weijian.

“School sister Li and school brother Wen, can you two lead the logistic unit to stand guard the crater here?”

Li Xi’er wants to say something else but Wen Guanjing has already nodded. He knows Lin Luoran wants to go deep down the crater herself, which is an unknown and dangerous task. If someone broke her way out, school sister Lin might not be able to return to the real world.

“School sister Li, only we guard the crater, can school sister Lin go down to find the truth without worrying about it.”

Li Xi’er always believes in Wen Guanjing. After hearing his explanation, she immediately nods without hesitation.

Yuan Ye stands with his sword, “Grandmaster, please allow me to go down with you!”

Mr. Lin is silent but he has shown his resolution to do it together. Lins are not people who can only share happiness together. With their personal ability, they won’t be very helpful if they stay here as guards. Now Lin Luoran is going to risk her life. It’s a much better choice for them to go with her and give it a try.

Lin Luoran nods. People may unlock enormous potential when fighting side by side with families to protect loving ones. She can’t estimate how powerful it is even as a cultivator of the Bearing Essence.

She calls back Goldie which is flying in the mountains. A golden hawk has been following these Special Forces guys all the way to protect them secretly. They don’t even realize it until now. Now they wonder if they can reach the crater without the protection of the golden hawk.

Thinking of it this way, they suddenly feel creepy about the dark night.

Lin Luoran takes the liquid rope from He Fei and hands it to Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye. Turning to the eagle size, Goldie flies down first and the three jump down one by one. Considering the temperature will be very high down the crater, Lin Luoran makes two Water Domes for them.

The smell of sulphur and smoke are everywhere. These three persons soon reach the bottom of the crater.

Unlike Lin Qingxue, they are all cultivators who is capable of fairly controlling their own power, so they can land on the ground gently. With the “Message-passing Spell”, Lin Luoran notifies everyone at the crater that she has arrived safely.

“Grandmaster, this hard soil layer is very thin and not more than one meter thick. There is really a possibility of volcanic eruption at any time here. Yuan Ye stomps his feet slightly. The place under the crater is spacious but the place where they stand is not even safe.

Instead of being nervous, Lin Luoran smiles, “What are you worrying about? If someone really wants to make the volcanic erupt, most local civilians will become victims. I don’t think he will sacrifice so many people just for killing us. ”

Yuan Ye nods. Mr. Lin points to the volcano wall, “Ran, look at this. It’s strange here.”

It is the inner wall of the volcano at the southeast corner. There are traces of magma once erupted. With the steaming smoke of sulfur day and night, the wall is covered with a layer of something tan.

“It’s slab-shaped sulfur. There is a scratch here that hasn’t been covered by the sulfur smoke. Someone stopped in front of this mountain wall not long ago.

Yuan Ye is in the water dome which is like a big moving bubble. In the thick yellow smoke, he steps forward for two steps and suddenly leans to the mountain wall—Lin Luoran only hesitates for a second about this little accident. She swiftly but gently moves her hands and pulls back Yuan Ye.

After such a thing, Yuan Ye doesn’t feel fearful but joyful.

“Grandmaster, when I was near the wall, I vaguely saw some overlapping mountain shadows. There must be another world behind the mountain wall… One after another, Lin Qingxue and people like Luodong probably enter that world!”

There is another world behind the mountain wall?

Lin Luoran pulls off Yuan Ye and puts her hand on the mountain wall. A force of the power of faith tries to drag her into the wall. After all, Lin Luoran has the personal ability of Bearing Essence and Fly Apsaras painted sculpture in her ocean of consciousness. She is good at controlling herself and just takes back her hand as nothing happens.

She is not sure if the world behind the wall is a fascinating place. But if Luodong and other people really go into that world, it will be a bit troublesome.

“Let’s get in.”

She is afraid that this place will be as unpredictable as the secret land in the Bermuda so she holds onto Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye. Goldie also bites her collar in its mouth tightly. Three people and a hawk take two steps forward together. They are all swallowed up by the mountain wall.

Smoke and fumes of sulfur are emerging from the cracks of the hard soil layer. Under that layer of less than one-meter-thick, magma is seemingly roiling nearby.

It is really an active volcano extremely dangerous.

The group of Lin Luoran passes through a thick layer of dark mist. The sudden white light makes them unable to keep their eyes open.

Lin Luoran has mentally prepared. But she is still surprised by the scenery in front of her when they get used to the light and open their eyes.

The dazzling white light that makes their eyes closed is the sunlight reflected by the snow mountain. Looking at it directly in the snow, ordinary people may even become blind.

As for the A-line snow mountain in front, it’s the famous mountain which Lin Luoran has seen a million times in geography textbooks and TV dramas when she was still a student. She can always recognize it.

It’s Mount Fuji.

Mr. Lin, Yuan Ye, and she are now standing under Mount Fuji. Not far away from them, it’s the peak of this snow-capped mountain. Under her feet, the snow is about two feet. There is only a little frozen hard soil where the snow doesn’t completely cover.

In “Protean Dress”, Lin Luoran hasn’t felt anything. But Yuan Ye and Mr. Lin who wear summer clothes without any armor and preparation are so cold that they have gooseflesh all over.

Lin Luoran can’t hold her smile because of the bright snow and Mount Fuji without any modern traces.

“Interesting.”

This is obviously another identical Mount Fuji. Maybe not only day and night but also the age here are different from outside.

Is it time travel or illusion spell? Lin Luoran intuitively feels it should be somewhere in between.

“Don’t use anything here and don’t even touch food and water of this place.” Lin Luoran reminds Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye of it when she sees a woodman carrying two bundles of firewood trudging in the mountain. She takes out a cloak stuffed with rabbit hair from the space and wears it over her clothes. It is a bespoke cloak she bought with Sister Wang and Mrs. Lin together in the early years.

In this way, she finally looks normal in such a season.

Mr. Lin’s Storage Belt is like a small supermarket. He finds two sets of men’s cotton clothes and throws one to Yuan Ye.

The woodman comes closer to them and Lin Luoran gradually feels something strange. Seeing that he has a little trouble moving around, she thinks he is an old man. But as he approaches, she realizes he is a fair and clean young man.

His face is white and only his palms are gashed with firewood. On such a cold day, he wears clogs and his white socks are wet with snow water. Yuan Ye feels freezing even just by looking at what this young woodman wears in the snow.

With his pretty and soft skin, he is not like a woodman but a privileged young master.

“Guests, where do you come from?” The woodman is also looking at these three people, especially Lin Luoran. The white rabbit hair coat is from the underground world, so it looks much more expensive than ordinary fur. The woodman can’t figure out who she is but thinks that she is a very noble and beautiful woman.

As for Mr. Lin and Yuan Ye, they are also very strange in his eyes because of their cotton coats and men’s boots.

The woman who even has a golden eagle is very strange. The woodman thinks all of them are outsiders.

After cramming for Nihonese, the three of Lin Luoran can understand what he says. Lin Luoran thinks about it and realizes they can’t successfully pretend to be the locals because of their weird clothes so different from the woodman. It’s fine to just be thought as outsiders. Therefore, she deliberately uses the language of Huaxia and says, “We are here to see the snow but now we lose our way.”

The woodman lets out a cry of surprise, “Are you guests from the Ming?”

He doesn’t speak the language of Huaxia very correctly. Lin Luoran looks deep into his eyes. Even a woodman can speak the language of Huaxia?

She thinks this in mind and gives him a big smile, which is enough to intimidate this woodman. Lin Luoran says they get lost. Besides, it’s so different to walk in the snow. Therefore, the woodman invites the three to take a rest in his house.

Lin Luoran readily agrees. It makes the young woodman feel somewhat bashful.

He walks in front of them with two burdens of firewood. The snow makes it difficult for them to walk on the mountain road. After walking for about half an hour, they finally come to the mountainside. There is a small wooden hut with snow on its top.

It is a low-rise Nihonese-style house with white paper on the sliding door.

The woodman puts the firewood under the eaves. He pushes the door open and invites the three of Lin Luoran to enter the house. They can’t just wear shoes full of snow water and go into other people’s bedroom. After taking off their shoes, the three enter the room in socks.

The wood floor is very cold. How can people adapt to the environment in such a condition?

The woodman is going to boil water. Lin Luoran doesn’t want to eat any local things here so she just asks Yuan Ye to do it for him. In fact, she has secretly put some rice and noodles in Yuan Ye’s backpack. Yuan Ye should have water in his Storage Bag so she doesn’t need to give it to him.

The woodman thinks Yuan Ye is Lin Luoran’s servant so he is not against her suggestion.

Lin Luoran begins to get the woodman to talk.

After laborious work, Yuan Ye is ready to serve a nice and safe dinner. At this moment, Lin Luoran has known the news that is not so good.

This place is indeed Mount Fuji of Nihon but now is not 2018. According to the woodman, Daimyo Tokugawa Ieyasu who stands for “patience” has just won in Edo.

According to the history, now is about the 8th year of Keichō, namely 1603 AD. Tokugawa Ieyasu was just appointed as shogun (the military commander) in the first half of the year and just set up the shogunate system in Edo.

The beginning of the Edo period?

Other people must dizzily think they are in a time travel. After all, Lin Luoran has done it before. She has been to Babylon which is more far in the past.

But if this is really the Edo period of Nihon, how can this young woodman learn the language of Huaxia? His language of Huaxia is not very good, but it is definitely modern Mandarin. On the other side of the ocean in the Edo era, Huaxia was still in the Ming Dynasty. Lin Luoran doesn’t think the language of Ming Dynasty is the same as the modern one.

So, is this a place more like a fantasy world?

But Mount Fuji she saw is very real and the woodman standing in front of her is definitely not an illusion. She can distinguish the difference between illusion spell and real people.

How to start the investigation—Lin Luoran casts her eyes on Mount Fuji not far away. If it is 1603 now, the Sengen Grand Shrine at the top of Mount Fuji should not have been expanded yet.
