It was late at night.
The moonlight was dim.
The courtyard was completely silent.
Gu Qing Shan picked up the black orchid on the windowsill and carefully observed it.
Lines of crimson text quickly appeared in the void of space:
[Unique item: Reincarnation Orchid]
[Before the Samsara was shattered, it was a sacred artifact of the Tianma race, as well as a unique artifact of the Wraith realm]
[As you are the only Saint Chosen of the Wraith realm, as soon as you obtain this Reincarnation Orchid, you will receive the greatest recognition of the Samsara, allowing you to communicate with the outside world on behalf of the Samsara]
[Attention: This is a sacred artifact from before the Samsara was shattered. When the Samsara was shattered, it was unexpectedly preserved and became a loophole in the Samsara]
[You have obtained a special permission: Beckoning Moon]
[With this authority, you can summon outsiders into the Samsara world]
[You can use Beckoning Moon once per day]
[Attention: Any entity that you summon will lose their powers just like the other living beings of the Samsara, only retaining their original abilities]
[Invited entities will remain in the Samsara for a day, after which they must return]
When Gu Qing Shan finished reading, two new lines of text appeared in the void of space:
[You may now use Beckoning Moon to temporarily awaken the Sleepers who are connected to the various sequences]
[Limit one person at a time]
Gu Qing Shan quickly finished reading and appeared a bit confused.
Awaken?
Invite?
But who do I awaken? Who do I invite?
— — I don't know anything, so what can I do?
He stood in front of the windowsill for a long time, then suddenly shook his head: "I can't go on like this …"
Even if I can't use my sword, even if I can't regain my strength, I need to at least regain my memories!
But what can I do to regain my memories?
While Gu Qing Shan was thinking, two lines of text suddenly appeared in the void of space:
[Smuggling caused this sequence to temporarily lose all of its powers, unable to help you regain your memories]
[If you can do the things that you used to do, your memories will quickly recover]
The things that I used to do …
I've clearly forgotten my past, so how would I know what I used to do?
Gu Qing Shan pondered for a bit, then went back to pick up the bow on the table and walked into the courtyard.
He nocked an arrow on the bowstring and fired.
Thud!
The arrow flew out and nailed itself deep into the tree.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a while with the bow and arrow in her arms. She shook her head and walked back to her room. She took out the pots and pans and began to cook.
Compared to archery, cooking seemed to be more skillful and intimate.
He cooked porridge and soup, made a few side dishes, and made some noodles. Gradually, he recalled many people.
However, those were only moments of leisure, and there were very few scenes other than eating.
"So that girl was called Li Yang …"
Gu Qing Shan thought to herself.
His memory had recovered a little, and he remembered most of the people he knew.
But he still couldn't remember many things.
He cooked some more dishes, but there were no more new memories.
Perhaps it's time to change to another method?
At this time, the sky was already a little bright.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the table full of dishes and sighed: "This will be difficult."
There were too few things he could remember through cooking.
This proved one thing.
Cooking was not what he did most often.
What did he do the most in the past?
Gu Qing Shan crossed her arms and thought.
At this moment, a knock on the door interrupted his thoughts.
It was Patrol Master Liu.
He was brought into the room by Gu Qing Shan and was shocked by the table full of dishes in front of him.
"Say, brother Gu, you're also a cook?" Patrol Master Liu asked.
"That's right, I like cooking, so I often make some — – come, eat with me, or it'll go to waste" Gu Qing Shan said and gave him a pair of chopsticks.
As Patrol Master Liu smelled the food, he suddenly felt a bit hungry.
He sat down, ate a bun, drank half a bowl of porridge, and couldn't stop.
Both of them were martial artists, so they naturally ate more than normal people. Very quickly, they each ate ten meat buns, two bowls of noodles, four bowls of porridge, a bowl of soup, as well as various snacks.
After dinner.
Patrol Master Liu stood up in satisfaction and praised: "Brother Gu, if you open a breakfast restaurant in the city, you'll definitely be able to support yourself"
Gu Qing Shan was a bit disappointed.
Cooking is a happy thing, but unfortunately it can't bring back more memories, otherwise he would really want to open a restaurant.
"Let's go, the district magistrate wants to see you this morning"
"Let's go"
The two of them left the door, walking along the street towards the government office.
While Patrol Master Liu was thinking about the food he just ate, he felt it was a bit too exquisite.
A person from a remote village, how could he make such a meal?
He was suspicious and couldn't help but ask: "Brother Gu, who did you learn cooking from?"
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change: "There was an old man in the village that I was familiar with, so I was the one who sent him to his grave. Before he died, he gave me a cookery book, so when I had nothing to do, I slowly learned how to cook from it"
Patrol Master Liu opened his mouth, but couldn't say a single word.
They're all dead.
Am I supposed to ask for the name of a dead person?
Wouldn't that be offending this little brother in front of me?
If I don't ask for the name, how would I know which old man died?
People die in a village every few years, I don't know when they died, and I don't know their name, so how am I supposed to ask?
… Fine, this isn't a big deal, why bother?
With that in mind, Patrol Master Liu felt relieved.
Gu Qing Shan's expression didn't change as she smiled and continued walking forward.
All of a sudden — — -
His eyebrows twitched, trying his best to keep his expression calm.
Scenes quickly flashed through his mind.
These are all things that happened in the past.
— — -memories!
My memories are recovering!
Gu Qing Shan was shocked.
I didn't do anything, how did I recover so many of my memories?
While thinking that, the scenes in his mind disappeared again.
— — -not enough!
I still need to do a few things to help my memories recover.
Gu Qing Shan remained calm and seriously thought about it.
If I say that I did something that I used to do … and recovered my memories …
Then what did I do just now?
Gu Qing Shan paused.
That's right.
I was lying to Patrol Master Liu just now.
In other words, what I used to do the most was — — -
Lie?
Gu Qing Shan was surprised.
— — -someone like me.
Actually — — -
Gu Qing Shan felt an indescribable feeling and suddenly said: "Old Liu, the county town sure is bustling, our mountain village has never had this many people"
"Ahaha, of course, this is the safest place within a few hundred miles" Patrol Master Liu replied.
"But our mountain village also has a few strange things that don't exist in the city" Gu Qing Shan said.
"Ah? What are they? "Patrol Master Liu asked.
"Whenever night falls in our place, there would be wandering ghosts coming out"
"Wandering ghosts? That's rare … do you have any near your village? "
"There are indeed — — when you go to the mountain forest at night, find a small path and walk towards the darkness, it'll be easy for you to run into those ghosts, but be careful, they usually kill you" Gu Qing Shan told him.
"Ghosts … what do they look like?" Patrol Master Liu muses.
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I've only seen one ghost, it was in the middle of a winter night, when I went to the mountain to get some firewood, I suddenly saw a ghost in an abandoned meadow"
"… Was it really a ghost?"
"Yes"
"How do you know it was a ghost? Perhaps it's a woodcutter like you? "
"It was a ghost, everyone in our village knows about this ghost, it's a ghost that specifically comes out to eat people, if it can't eat them, it will just keep circling around in the same spot, causing people to become hysterical when they see it. The ghost will then take that chance to pounce on them and eat them"
Patrol Master Liu was still in disbelief: "That's strange, how did you manage to survive after running into this ghost?"
Gu Qing Shan replied: "I'm not a very curious person, and I've heard about this ghost from the older generation, so when I passed by the meadow, I didn't stop"
"You saw it at the time?"
"Yes, it's pushing a cart around the field, and it's mumbling nonstop. It hasn't stopped at all."
"It was pushing the cart?"
"Yes, the cart was covered with something black, it gave off an extremely unpleasant smell, it gave me a splitting headache"
"Then why did you run away?"
"Actually, as soon as I saw it, it was equivalent to being hysterical, I would get closer to it out of curiosity, I was no exception"
"… You also went over?"
Gu Qing Shan sighed: "Yes, I only woke up at the very last moment, at the time, its face was only a few inches away from me, it almost grabbed me, I could even hear what it was mumbling"
Patrol Master Liu shrunk his neck, asking: "What was it mumbling?"
Gu Qing Shan suddenly lowered her voice, using an erratic tone to mumble: "I … this is the first time I've ever felt cold"
"What does that mean?" Patrol Master Liu asked confusedly.
"I don't know, it's probably some kind of beheading incantation, luckily I ran away fast enough, that's why I'm still alive to make it to the county town" Gu Qing Shan said, feeling lucky.
Patrol Master Liu took a deep breath, wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said: "It's fine, it's fine, since you're here, there's no need to return to the village, we're safe here"
Gu Qing Shan nodded.
In just a short while, he had found a familiar feeling. Countless images appeared in his memory, allowing him to remember most of the things that had happened.
Aside from the things related to the Samsara, he almost remembered everything.
While organizing his memories, Gu Qing Shan was also thinking about how to recover the rest of his memories.
At this point, they had already arrived at the county government's gate.
After verifying their identities, they went to see the county magistrate.
