1 I Am Not Alice

In a small hut at the foot of the mountain a petite young girl open her eyes and survey her surroundings. This was not the place she remembers before she lost consciousness. She was sure of it. But how did she get here? While pondering on what's going on the door slowly open revealing an old man carrying a food basket. He went straight to the table setting the basket atop and arranging the food neatly.

"Who are you?"

"Who am I? of course I'm your master you stinky brat!" the old man quickly turns his head and answered. But he didn't even spare a glance at her. Instead he was looking at the door .

Eh, Where did that brat go?

"Huh? I'm here you know" she waved at the old man scaring him out of his wits.

"You..your awake?! That's good. He smiled at her. I'm Li Hua, I saw you inside the cave while I was gathering some herbs at the mountain so I brought you here. You've been sleeping for two weeks."

While he was explaining to her, she's busy racking her brains trying to figured out what was going on and why she's here? When she clearly remembers that she's just sitting under the tree studying the Volcano from afar. She's been camping there for five days. Then she heard some one calling for help. So she looked for that voice and came near the big fallen tree. There was a huge hole on it so she thought some one might be trapped in there. She peeked at the hole but didn't see anyone then she felt a huge force drawing her in and that's where she lost consciousness.

Bloody hell! did I just get transmigrated?

But how can it be? Maybe I read too much wuxia novels. But that can't be that was five years ago. I dont even have a tiny tinie weenie Chinese blood.

So Non-Chinese can transmigrate too?

All this questions keep popping out to her head making her go loco.

"Ahem...Li Hua cleared his throat. You should eat first to nourish your body. You don't have any injuries but I don't know why you've been in coma for two weeks. Oh right, Young Miss. What is your name?"

She was startled for a moment. Deciding on what name should she give him. Since she is not Chinese at all. Suddenly a surge of memories flash through her brain. Like a tidal wave making her head explode. She close her eyes and clench her teeth from the pain. Large bead of sweat drips from her forehead. Unfamiliar memories keep flooding her brain. Before she knows it she sink into another state of unconsciousness. Li Hua didn't know what happen. He only saw her close her eyes like she's remembering something then he saw her falling from the bed where she's sitting. He reflexively caught her and place her on the bed. He quickly check her pulse after knowing that there's nothing wrong he breath a sigh of relief.

"Aiya, poor girl. What did she remember that even cause her to faint?"

Li Hua pity the young girl. From the looks of it she was 15-16 years old. He found her inside the cave unconscious. He was looking for Ice Blade flowers and Fire blue rose. Coincidentally those ingredients can only be found inside the cave of Mt.Kunlun. He brought her down to the Little Bamboo Hut fearing that some beast might hurt her. But it's been two weeks and the young girl is still in coma. He wondered what happened to her. That's why he was very surprise when she woke up only to fall unconscious again after about an hour.

The sun begin to shine and the birds chirp along with the gentle breeze blowing. A young girl groggily woke up from her deep sleep. She slowly sat up and scan her surroundings.

Bloody hell! she is still in this hut. She thought it was only a dream just like Alice when she fell down from the Rabbit hole. She expected that when she woke up she'll be back in Shozou Country side doing her job. Unfortunately ah, unfortunately.... she is not Alice. She remembers yesterday when she passed out all those memories that attack her head belong to Gu Jing Yi. It feels like she was inside of someone's persona. She saw Gu Jing Yi's childhood, Her heart aches, her death and lifeless body on the cold ground somewhere around the forest. The girl begged her to help take care of her family and loved ones. In return she will give her something good. She saw the girl soul seeping inside her body.

Gu Jing Yi ah, Gu Jing Yi.... From now on I am you and you are me. I promise to fulfill your last wish on this new earth that I'm now in.

As soon as she utter those silent vow as if the heavens are acting as a witness. Thunder and lightning can be heard. Then came the heavy pouring rain.

The old man came rushing from outside carrying different kind of herbs. Following him was another person dress in black.

"Master, how is the young lady?" She's curious as to know why her master saved that young girl. She knows her master very well. He doesn't care about this outside world. They have been in seclusion for many years others dont even know they exist.

"She's alright. Maybe by tomorrow we can go back." If she decides to come with us we'll take her.

Go back where?

Gu Jing Yi is now sitting at the corner while looking at them with probbing eyes. She knows that the old man help her but what's the catch?

The old man was startled from her voice. How did she get her? He just saw her inside the room.

How long have you been there? he carefully ask her.

Oh, not long.... about the time I saw you come in.

The old man and the girl in black look at each other surprise written all over their faces.

How could that be? They didn't even feel her presence just now.

Eh? What happen? Why are you looking at me like I'm some kind of monster? she asked them. From the look on their face she could tell that something is wrong.

N..nothing... the two spoke in unison. What should I dress you miss? Lu Hua said.

"I'm Gu Jing Yi."

"So its Miss Gu, this is my disciple Ying Ling. If you want you can come with us to our sect."

"Sure, is it far from here?"

"You really want to go with us? Ying Ling looked at her suspiciously.

"Hmm..."

Since you agreed then we can go" Li Hua nod his head in agreement. Then he waved his hand over the air. A blinding bright light appear. She instinctively close her eyes.

Bloody Hell! what was that all about? when she open her eyes she can't believe what she saw...
