I created an extraordinary era

Chapter 117 Twelve Flower Gods
At the same time, in a small town twenty kilometers away.

"Teacher Hai, come and have some fruit. I just bought some from town. They're really sweet."

Qingyue walked into the workshop with a plate of fruit and a smile on her face.

At this time, the old man was wearing a pair of reading glasses and carefully polishing the parts on the table.

Hearing the voice behind him, he put down the work in his hands.

"Girl, you really gave me a test. If it were six petals, it would be fine, but these twelve petals are really not easy to make."

Three days ago, Qingyue brought the finished drawings to the old man and explained the production requirements to him in detail.

One of the hairpins needs to have a mechanism for placing flower petals. Normally, only six petals are needed, or even four or five petals will be enough.

But in pursuit of perfection, Qingyue designed the most difficult mechanism.

"Teacher Hai, your ancestors made these things for dignitaries. This shouldn't be too difficult for you, right?"

"Don't goad me. I said I'd make it for you, and I definitely will. We're even filming it. If I can't make it, it would be embarrassing for me."

"It's only because you're old now. If you were younger, I would have done this job for you long ago."

Seeing this, Qingyue quickly took a piece of fruit and handed it to the old man, and started to say nice things.

"But don't film this part, and remember to cut it out later!"

"Don't worry, we will only keep the most critical parts. I will show you the finished product once it's ready."

The old man smiled immediately and then asked casually.

"I heard from Liuzi that your clothes are almost finished?"

"Well, it's already been painted. We just need to wait for it to dry before sewing on the patterns!"

"Where's that kid? He's not going to be lazy, is he?"

"That's not true. Sixth Brother is helping me edit the video."

The two chatted briefly for a while, and then Qingyue said goodbye.

"Teacher Hai, please go ahead and do your work. I'm going to go into the mountains to pick some herbs and flower petals!"

"Flowers of this season? Are you going to inlay peach blossoms on your hairpin?"

"I'll keep it a secret for now. You'll know when the finished product is ready!"

The old man smiled, thinking Qingyue was being mysterious.

"Girl, I still know a little bit about the flowers on your hairpin."

"Aren't peach blossoms the only flowers corresponding to the Twelve Flower Gods this season? Peonies are probably still a little off!"

Many people know that there are twelve zodiac animals in Kyushu, but few people know about the twelve flower gods.

The flowers on the hairpins are generally the flowers corresponding to the twelve flower gods in the legend. Some daughters of wealthy and powerful families like the beauty of flowers blooming on their heads.

Therefore, this mechanism is specially designed on the hairpin to allow the flowers to bloom on the head.

The flowers bloom in January, and the scene is very beautiful.

This is the ancient people's yearning for beautiful things, but nowadays few people pay attention to this aspect, and even those who know about it are few and far between.

"I won't talk to you anymore. I have to hurry up while it's still early!"

Before leaving, the old man gave some special instructions because he was worried.

"Wasn't there a big commotion in the mountains some time ago? Ask Liuzi to go with you."

"No need. I've walked this mountain many times. There's nothing dangerous inside. Besides, I won't go deep inside. I'll just pick some flowers and herbs nearby and come back."

The old man thought about it and didn't refute it. He hadn't heard of anyone in the town getting into trouble in this area in all these years. The area around here has almost been trampled by the townspeople. After leaving Master Hai's house, Qingyue carried the bamboo basket on her back and headed up the mountain.

Although it is now mid-to-late April in the Earthly Yuan calendar, it is still only March in the traditional Kyushu calendar.

So it is still spring now, and although there is sunshine in the sky, it is not hot.

A woman wearing a black silk long dress on the upper body and jeans on the lower body walked slowly in the mountains.

The woman pushed aside some branches and gradually walked up the mountain, with sweat dripping from her flawless white face from time to time.

Rolling up her sleeves, the woman wiped the sweat from her face, squatted down carefully, pulled up a herb from the ground with a shovel, and then put it into the basket.

A smile spread across her face, brighter than ever in the sunlight filtering through the trees.

She stood in the middle of it, as if forming a beautiful landscape painting, tranquil and elegant.

The woman was Qingyue. She walked from the town to the mountains and came across many herbs she wanted along the way. These herbs were the raw materials that could be used to color clothes.

She would come to the mountain once in a while. It was extremely time-consuming and laborious to make pigments from these herbs, so they had to be prepared a long time in advance.

Although she had found a lot of herbs today, she had not yet found the flowers she wanted.

Peony flowers.

There are peonies distributed on this mountain, and there are quite a few of them. I did see quite a few on the way, but none of them were fully open.

But the peonies are not fully bloomed this season, so it is not easy to find a satisfactory one.

As it was getting close to afternoon, she quickened her pace, hoping to find one before the sun set, otherwise she would have to choose the ones that were not fully bloomed.

Time passed minute by minute, Qingyue still hadn't found a satisfactory flower, and unknowingly had gone deep into a relatively far distance.

This place is four or five kilometers away from the small town.

Seeing that she couldn't find anything satisfactory, she had no choice but to prepare to go down the mountain. If she didn't go down the mountain now, the road would be difficult to walk on when it gets dark.

However, at this moment.

A large animal with snow-white fur and black spots all over its body appeared in her sight.

That looks like a tiger?

Similarly, the tiger not far away also discovered her trail, and their eyes met.

"Why is there such a beast here?"

Qingyue's heart tightened. She had been to this place before, but she had never encountered a wild beast, nor had she heard the people in the town talk about wild beasts before.

What to do now?
She was thinking quickly about a solution.

Just run?
No, the distance between us is so short that we definitely can’t run over it.

Then we can only face it head-on. When encountering such a beast, we must never show any fear.

She looked at the tools she had on her again and found only a shovel.

Qingyue couldn't help but tightly grasp the only weapon in her hand. Whether she could survive today depended on this shovel!
But she had no confidence at all. Facing a tiger-like beast, she, an ordinary person with no power, was almost dead.

"It's a good thing we didn't call Sixth Brother, otherwise we would both be in danger."

The first thought that came to her mind at this moment was not to drag others down.

During the confrontation between the two, no one moved, but the sweat on Qingyue's face was getting more and more, even though the temperature was gradually dropping.

In this strange silence, a sentence broke the atmosphere.

"Dabai, what are you doing?! Stop scaring people, or I'll beat you up!"
