Chapter 99 Snowy Night

There is no moon on the snowy night, and the cold wind howls, whining like a mountain ghost in the dark mountains.

There was a big hole in the roof of the dilapidated house in the mountain village, and snowflakes fell little by little. The bright pattern lights on the wall and a crackling bonfire illuminated the dilapidated house.

Xu Yuan was sitting on a blanket, wearing a dark brown mink fur, playing with a half-foot-tall black porcelain jar in his hand.

What’s inside the porcelain jar is tonight’s supper for him and Ran Qingmo.

A white flamingo that has been chopped into pieces.

This bird was shot back by Ran Qingmo yesterday. Although it is small in size, it is really not weak in strength.

With Xu Yuan's current strength, even ten of him would not be a match for this little bird less than half a foot long.

However, this does not affect its ability to be used as an excellent food ingredient.

Accompanied by the clinking sound of bottles and jars, Xu Yuan took out various condiments from the Xumi ring and added them to the black jar one by one. After doing all this, he covered the black jar and placed it on the shelf set up above the campfire.

Preparation by stewing.

The fresh meat of the white flamingo is firm, and only in this way can it be marinated and flavored, making it easier to grill.

After doing all this, Xu Yuan got up and went outside, washed his hands with white snow, and then immediately retracted into the blanket and sat down.

It’s really cold in the dead of winter in the twelfth lunar month.

Although he has entered cultivation, he is still a mortal below the fourth rank.

He misses the Yanling Liquid a little bit.

Although it has an aphrodisiac effect, it is first-class in repelling cold.

Fortunately, there are Xumi rings to hold various items. In addition to the bonfire, there is also a stove with a flame gathering array tattooed on it in this broken house.

The waiting time for simmering and marinating was a bit long. Gradually, Xu Yuan gradually became distracted while looking at the abandoned mountain village covered with snow outside.

After collecting the bones of the old man named Gui and building a tomb and erecting a monument, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo went north to find the secret place.

It took one and a half months to finally reach the Guanyin Mountains where the secret place is located.

Then a very serious question was placed in front of them.

The entrance to the secret realm cannot be found.

The Guanyin Mountains in Cangyuan only consist of twelve small maps, but in reality they stretch for thousands of miles from west to east, with the highest point reaching more than 3,000 feet.

Xu Yuan actually had expected this.

The cave in the Wanxing Mountains was easy to find because the cliffs of Tianmen Mountain were very recognizable, and these secret places hidden in the mountains were naturally not that easy to find.

Through the information from his past life, Xu Yuan was able to roughly determine that the entrance to the secret realm was in the northwest of the Guanyin Mountains, and that there was a river next to it left from the top of the mountain.

Xu Yuan's original intention was to use Ran Qingmo's ridiculously high fortune and tyrannical cultivation to find out the rest.

Along the river, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo found a place to stay in the long-abandoned village.

Then

Then half a month passed.

Ran Qingmo does gain something every day when he goes out.

Every night this big ice cube will bring back some "souvenirs".

It's either Breitling Grass, some precious ores, or some precious monsters that can be used as medicinal foods.

The European Emperor's bloodline is well-deserved, but the problem is that these things are available in the Prime Minister's Office. What he wants is the secret book in the secret realm.

With that secret method, he can automatically practice twenty-four hours a day.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan sighed and gathered his thoughts.

Counting the time, she should be back soon.

While simmering and marinating flamingos, and waiting for Ran Qingmo to come back, time passed quietly.

About two-quarters of an hour later, there was a sudden rustling outside the house.

"Creak——"

"Creak——"

It’s the clear squeaking sound of boots stepping on snow.

Hearing the sound, Xu Yuan smiled slightly, but then frowned.

Because there are more than one footsteps in the snow.

This big ice cube, didn’t it bring back a living person today?

And just thinking about it,

A strange female voice sounded, very young, even a little immature:

"Hey, Mu Mu, why did you stop? It's snowing so hard tonight, hurry up and get out of the snow."

Then a male voice sounded outside the house:

"There's someone inside."

"What happened to someone? This is the only house in Lijia Village that is still intact. Most of Senior Brother Qi and the others spent 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 and said tentatively: "Well, he doesn't agree. Where do you plan to stay tonight?"

The man pondered for a moment and replied aloud: "There is a cave ten miles ahead."

"Ten miles?!"

The woman's voice rose slightly: "You can go ahead, I don't want to leave anyway, it's snowing so heavily"

As the young woman's voice spoke, she came closer to the broken house.

Silence for a second,

The woman was a little embarrassed and said: "Li Erzhu, why are you pulling me!"

Li Erzhu said stubbornly:

"You must first obtain his consent."

After a while of pulling, the woman seemed unable to break free. She angrily shouted into the room where the fire was flickering:

"Hey, people inside, don't pretend to be dead. This wood is talking so loudly, you should have heard it, right?"

"."

Well, it probably wasn’t Dabing Tuozi who picked it up.

However, Xu Yuan did not speak out immediately.

Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that they are quite familiar with this place.

And if you can walk on a mountain road on such a snowy night, you must be a practitioner, and your cultivation will not be weak.

After pondering slightly, Xu Yuan said slowly:

"Come in."

When the voice came out, Li Erzhu immediately let go of the woman's wrist and replied:

"Thank you."

The crunching of 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 singlet, carrying a sword and a bulging bag on his back. He was about twenty years old, with an ordinary face and an honest look.

The woman is dressed in a red attire similar to a cheongsam, wearing a heavy fur coat, and also carrying a sword. She looks extremely young and innocent between her eyebrows, but the cheongsam on her body is very big.

After entering the house, I patted the snow and made a seductive sway.

Xu Yuan stared at the two of them, his mind popping up slightly, and then he felt a little guilty in his heart.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he did not use his mind and soul to probe deeply into the two's cultivation. He simply checked the surrounding source energy fluctuations. Randomly exploring other people's cultivation in the wilderness was equivalent to telling the other person, "Fuck you, I want to fuck you."

".

However, this check revealed something unusual.

This woman is very normal. She exudes the aura of running martial arts to keep out the cold. Judging from the fluctuation of her cultivation level, she should be about the same as him.

But this man is a little weird. He only wears a single piece of clothing on such a cold day, and he doesn't have any energy fluctuations to run his skills to keep out the cold.

Is it a state of integration?

Only by integrating yourself can you not be afraid of severe cold and heat, Ran Qingmo is like this.

After embarking on the journey, Xu Yuan encountered many things.

Travelers who stayed overnight, refugees who fled, and even ran into bandits who blocked the road in the middle of the night with Ran Qingmo.

But this was the first time Xu Yuan encountered a high-level cultivator after leaving Jingjiang Mansion.

The fourth-level Fusion Man, who is about twenty years old, should be a genius of a certain sect, and there seems to be a Wanxiang Sect near the Guanyin Mountains.

While Xu Yuan was sizing up the two of them, the two were also sizing up Xu Yuan.

The woman's eyes are slightly stunning.

Li Erzhu's eyes were full of vigilance.

The scene in front of me is very strange.

The house is half dilapidated and half luxurious.

The clear pattern lamp on the wall, the tiger skin blanket covering almost half of the floor, exuding the incense of green smoke, the tea tray and precious porcelain cups made of mahogany, and the two people sitting on the futon.
p>

It has been ten years since Lijiacun was massacred.

It feels strange to see such luxurious room furnishings in this deserted village.

Li Erzhu took a step sideways to block the woman behind him, returned his hand to hold the hilt of the sword behind his back, and stared at Xu Yuan in silence for two seconds.

Tao:

"Are you a human?"

"."

Count your breaths quietly,

Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at himself, his eyes a little strange:

"Do you suspect that I am a ghost?"

Even though Ran Qingmo is not here now, Xu Yuan is not too panicked. After all, he has his grandfather with him.

Although since the death of Guiwu and his party, this old man has been isolated in the soul ring most of the time, and only occasionally comes out to say a few words.

But he is indeed there.

Li Erzhu nodded: "Yeah."

Xu Yuan: "Why?"

"You can't hold so many things on your body." Li Erzhu held the sword in his backhand, his eyes serious: "It's hard to tell the truth from the false in the illusion of high-level demons and ghosts."

"."Xu Yuan.

"Li Erzhu, you are the ghost!"

The cheongsam woman looked out from behind Li Erzhu, pushed the man from behind, and yelled: "Put your sword away, that's the Sumeru Ring!"

Li Erzhu glanced at the cheongsam woman with some doubts in his eyes:

"Sumiru?"

"."

The cheongsam woman rolled her eyes, ignored Li Erzhu, let him go and walked a few meters in front of Xu Yuan, hugged her fists valiantly, and said:

"Wanxiang Sect, Zhou Xiaohe.

"You were rude just now, sir, don't blame me, my senior brother is dull by nature."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, some information flashed in his mind, and he smiled and waved randomly:

"It doesn't matter, it's always good to be careful when going out."

After a pause, he added:

"Tingfeng Tower, Zhou Chen."

Aunt Lou Ji's Tingfeng Tower has a good reputation as an intelligence organization and is mysterious.

When Zhou Xiaohe heard this, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled generously:

"What a coincidence that the young master is still from the same family."

Xu Yuan took out two futons from the Sumeru Ring and held them with Yuanqi and handed them to the other party, saying:

"It's quite a coincidence. I'm also staying in this house, so I won't entertain you. You two can just find a place to sit."

When Zhou Xiaohe saw the futon appearing out of thin air, her beautiful black eyes turned and she thanked:

"We have traveled all this way. If it hadn't been for Young Master, my senior brother and I might not even have a place to sit here. I really want to thank Young Master."

Xu Yuan had no intention of continuing to speak.

This woman can recognize Xumijie, and her surname is Zhou, so she should have some relationship with the master of the Wanxiang Sect. Currently, he and Ran Qingmo are looking for a secret place on his territory, so it is not suitable for them to have a close relationship.

Zhou Xiaohe's beautiful eyes flashed when she saw this, but she didn't say anything rashly and clasped her fists:

"Then my senior brother and I will disturb the young master and your sister tonight."

"."

Xu Yuan was stunned.

My sister?

Ran Qingmo came back just now?

Just thinking about it,

Zhou Xiaohe's beautiful eyes were crescent, and she smiled and waved behind him:

"Little sister, you are so cute~"
