Chapter 99 Snowy Night
The snowy night without moon, the cold wind whistling, like a mountain ghost whimpering in the dark mountains.
There was a big hole in the roof of the dilapidated house in the mountain village, snowflakes fell little by little, and the bright pattern lamp on the wall accompanied by a burning bonfire illuminated the dilapidated house.
Xu Yuan was sitting on a blanket, wearing a dark brown mink fur, and was fiddling with a half-foot-high black porcelain pot in his hand.
Inside the porcelain jar is his and Ran Qingmo's supper tonight.
A flamingo that has been chopped into pieces.
This bird was brought back by Ran Qingmo yesterday. Although it is small in size, its strength is not weak.
With Xu Yuan's current strength, there are probably ten of him who are no match for this little bird that is less than half a foot long.
However, this does not affect its ability to be used as a good ingredient.
Accompanied by the tinkling of bottles and cans, Xu Yuan took out various condiments from the Sumeru ring and added them to the black jar one by one. Braised and developed.
The fresh meat of the white flamingo is firm, and only in this way can it be marinated and delicious, and it is easy to roast.
After finishing all this, Xu Yuan got up and went outside to wash his hands with white snow, then immediately retracted into the blanket and sat down.
The twelfth lunar month is cold and winter, it is really cold.
Although they have stepped into practice, they are all mortals below the fourth rank.
He kind of missed the Yan Lingye back then.
Although it has an aphrodisiac effect, it is first-class for dispelling cold.
Fortunately, there is a Sumeru Ring to hold various items. In this broken house, besides the bonfire, there is also a stove with a pattern of Juyan Formation.
It took a long time to wait for the stewing and marinating. Gradually, Xu Yuan, who was looking at the abandoned mountain village covered by white snow outside, gradually lost his mind.
After collecting the bones for the old man surnamed ghost, after building the tomb and erecting a monument, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo went north to search for the secret place.
It took one and a half months to finally reach the Guanyin Mountains where the secret realm is located.
Then a very serious question was put in front of them.
Can't find the entrance to the secret realm.
The Guanyin Mountains are only composed of twelve small maps in Cangyuan. In reality, they stretch for thousands of miles from west to east, and the highest mountain can reach more than 3,000 feet.
Xu Yuan had actually expected this point.
The cave in the Wanxing Mountains was easy to find at the beginning because Tianmen Mountain’s hanging sky was very recognizable, and these secret places hidden in the mountains were naturally not so easy.
Through the information from his previous life, Xu Yuan can roughly determine that the entrance to the secret realm is in the northwest of the Guanyin Mountain Range, and there is a river left from the top of the mountain beside it.
For the rest, Xu Yuan originally intended to use Ran Qingmo's ridiculously high fortune and tyrannical cultivation to find out.
Along the river, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo found the village that had been abandoned for a long time.
Then
Then half a month passed.
Ran Qingmo indeed gained something by going out every day.
Every night, this big ice cube will bring back some "souvenirs".
Either the Breitling Grass, some precious ores, or some precious monsters that can be used as medicinal food.
The European Emperor’s bloodline is well-deserved, but the problem is that Xiangguo Mansion has all these things, and what he wants is the secret method in the secret realm.
With that secret method, he can practice automatically 24 hours a day.
Thinking, Xu Yuan sighed and restrained his thoughts.
Calculate the time, she should be back soon.
While stewing and marinating flamingos, while waiting for Ran Qingmo to come back, time passed quietly.
About two quarters of an hour, there was a sudden rustling outside the house.
"Crack—"
"Crack—"
is the crisp creak of boots stepping on the snow.
Hearing the sound, Xu Yuan smiled slightly, but immediately frowned again.
Because there was more than one sound of footsteps stepping on the snow.
This big ice dumpling, didn’t he pick up a living person today?
While thinking,
An unfamiliar female voice sounded, very young, even a little immature:
"Hey, Wood, why did you stop? It's snowing so much tonight, hurry up and hide from the snow."
Then a male voice sounded outside the house:
"There are people inside."
"What's wrong with someone, this house in Li's Village is still in good condition, Senior Brother Qi and most of them spend the night here." The young woman didn't care.
"If there is someone, you have to get his consent first." The man said.
“.”
The woman was silent for a moment, with a tentative tone: "Well, he disagrees, where do you plan to live tonight?"
The man pondered for a while, and replied aloud: "There is a cave ten miles ahead."
"Ten miles?!"
The woman's voice rose slightly: "Go to you, I don't want to go anyway, it's snowing so much"
The voice of the young woman approached the dilapidated house while speaking.
Silence for a second,
The woman sounded a little embarrassed and annoyed: "Li Erzhu, why are you dragging me!"
Li Erzhu said stubbornly:
"With his consent first."
After a while of tugging, the woman seemed to be unable to break free, angrily directed at the flickering room, and said loudly:
"Hey, people inside, don't pretend to be dead, this wood speaks so loudly, you should have heard it?"
“.”
Well, it probably wasn't picked up by Da Bingduozi.
But Xu Yuan didn't say anything immediately.
Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that this place is quite familiar.
Being able to walk mountain roads in this kind of snowy night should also be a cultivator, and his cultivation base will not be weak.
Slightly pondering, Xu Yuan said slowly:
"come in."
"Thanks."
The creaking sound of stepping on the snow sounded again, and two figures appeared outside the door.
Xu Yuan also saw their faces clearly.
The man was dressed in a clear blue single-clothes, with a sword and a bulging cloth bag on his back. He was about in his early twenties, with an ordinary face and an honest look.
The woman was dressed in a red cheongsam-like outfit, with a heavy fur coat and a sword on her back. Her eyebrows and eyes looked extremely young and pure, but the cheongsam on her body was very big.
After entering the house, I slapped the snow and made a seductive shaking.
Xu Yuan stared at the two of them, his soul popped out slightly, and then he felt a little guilty in his heart.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn't intend to deeply investigate the cultivation of the two of them, but simply checked the surrounding energy fluctuations. Randomly detecting other people's cultivation in the wilderness is equivalent to telling the other party, "Damn it, I want to **** you." up".
But this check is a bit abnormal.
This woman is very normal, her body exudes the breath of running exercises to keep out the cold, and her cultivation base should be similar to his.
But this man is a bit weird, he only wears a single shirt in such a cold day, and he doesn't have any source energy fluctuations for running exercises to keep out the cold.
Is it the fusion environment?
Only by merging into the body can you not be afraid of the severe cold and scorching heat, just like Ran Qingmo.
After embarking on the journey, Xu Yuan encountered many things.
Travelers who stayed in the middle of the night, refugees who migrated and fled, and ran Qingmo and even encountered bandits who blocked the road in the middle of the night.
But this is the first time Xu Yuan has encountered a high-level cultivator after leaving Jingjiang Mansion.
A fourth-grade fusion body around the age of 20 should be a genius of a certain sect, and there seems to be a Vientiane sect near the Guanyin Mountain Range.
While Xu Yuan was looking at the two, the two were also looking at Xu Yuan.
The woman's eyes were slightly startled.
Li Erzhu's eyes were full of vigilance.
The scene in front of me was very strange.
The house is half dilapidated and half luxurious.
The bright-patterned lamp on the wall, the tiger-skin blanket covering almost half of the floor, exuding the incense of smoke, the tea tray and precious porcelain cups made of mahogany, and the two people sitting on the futon.
Lijia Village has been slaughtered for ten years,
It is very strange to see such luxurious room furnishings in this deserted village.
Li Erzhu moved a step sideways to block the woman behind him, then grabbed the hilt of the sword behind his back, stared at Xu Yuan in silence for two seconds,
road:
"are you human?"
“.”
Count your breaths quietly,
Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at himself, with a strange look in his eyes:
"You suspect that I'm a ghost?"
Even if Ran Qingmo is not here, Xu Yuan is not too panicked, after all, he has his grandfather with him.
Although the old man has been shutting himself up in the soul ring most of the time since Ghost Mist and his entourage, he only pops out to say a few words occasionally.
But he is there.
Li Erzhu nodded: "Yes."
Xu Yuan: "Why?"
"You can't hold so many things on your body." Li Erzhu held the sword in his backhand, his eyes were very serious: "It's hard to tell the truth from the fake in the illusion of high-level ghosts."
"." Xu Yuan.
"Li Erzhu, you are the ghost!"
The woman in cheongsam poked her head out from behind Li Erzhu to look, then pushed the man from behind, and scolded softly: "Put the sword away, he is Xumijie!"
Li Erzhu glanced at the woman in the cheongsam with some doubts in his eyes:
"Xu Mijie?"
“.”
The cheongsam woman rolled her eyes, ignored Li Erzhu, spared him and walked a few meters in front of Xu Yuan, clasped her fists sassyly, and said:
"Wanxiangzong, Zhou Xiaohe.
"I was rude just now, son, don't blame me, my senior brother is naturally dull."
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, some information flashed in his mind, he smiled and waved at random:
"It's okay, it's always good to be careful when you go out."
Paused, and added:
"Tingfeng Tower, Zhou Chen."
Auntie Lou Ji's Tingfeng Building has a good reputation as an intelligence organization and is mysterious.
A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Xiaohe's eyes when he heard the words, and then he smiled generously and said:
"It's a coincidence that the young master is still from the same family."
Xu Yuan took out two futons from the Sumeru Ring, supported them with Yuan Qi, and handed them to the other party, saying:
"It's really a coincidence. I also live in this house, so I won't be an entertainer. You two can find a place to sit."
When Zhou Xiaohe saw the futon that appeared out of thin air, she turned her beautiful black eyes and thanked:
"Traveling all the way, if it weren't for the young master, my senior brother and I might not even have a place to sit here. Thank you very much, young master."
Xu Yuan didn't intend to continue talking.
This woman can recognize Xu Mijie, and her surname is Zhou, so she should have some relationship with the Vientiane suzerain. At present, he and Ran Qingmo are looking for secret places on other people's territory, so it is not suitable for a deep friendship.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiaohe's beautiful eyes twinkled, but she didn't say too much rashly, and cupped her fists:
"Then senior brother and I will disturb the young master and Lingmei tonight."
“.”
Xu Yuan was taken aback for a moment.
Lingmei?
Ran Qingmo rushed back just now?
I was thinking,
Zhou Xiaohe's beautiful eyes curved, she smiled and waved behind him:
"Little sister, you are so cute~"
I have something to do at home today, I will update it temporarily, and I will make it up tomorrow
