Chapter 4: Squeak
In the quiet plains of the Snow Country, a piece of snow is unusually protruding, and a small head in the shape of a girl with bright eyes and bright teeth emerges from the snow.
If someone sees her, they will definitely not associate her with the girl, of course, not that he is not beautiful, but ...... He had no feet under his beautiful white dress, and only relied on the bulging snow to lift her forward.
Her beautiful white robe was empty but stirred by the wind, and if you looked closely, there was an occasional flickering lilac glow on her white dress, but that didn't make her the center of the night.
A few snowflakes dotted her beautiful long black hair, and the wind showed a bit of grace, and she just floated forward, only occasionally stopping slightly, revealing a little doubt.
Of course, what makes her most vivid is her delicate features, which strive to express human expressions, although they seem to have little fluctuation in expression, only when they stop, they change slightly.
"Nasty...... Target...... Warm...... Breath~" Her delicate lips did not change, and the voice came from her empty robe, as if trying to simulate human pronunciation, sometimes talking to herself.
"In that direction...... Let's take a look at ......" After practicing for a while, she spoke more smoothly, but her expression was not much different from before.
Meanwhile......
"Oh...... It's so hot, this guy seems to be on fire!" Li Tieshan hurriedly pushed open the heavy wooden door of the safe house and threw the back basket on the ground.
There was no fire source, and a burnt smell came out of the back basket, which was particularly strange in the cold weather, and even made Li Tieshan show a trace of fear in his heart.
"It's like a hot clay pot filled with water......"
The white mist emanated from the back basket, and the scorching heat raised the temperature of the safe house by dozens of degrees, forcing Li Tieshan to stand farther away.
If you can look at it from a farther distance, the windowless safe house is like a boiling kettle, and puffs of white mist rush open the door—no, not open, but Li Tieshan pushed open the thick wooden door.
A strong wave of heat rushed out of his surroundings, and in just a few breaths, the snow on the safe house, which had not melted in months, turned into water droplets and flowed down the smooth roof in all directions, revealing the safe house for what it was—a slick stone house.
"Monsters......"
I saw that when Li Tieshan shouted, he had already run away.
Li Tieshan ran and ran, and he didn't know the way, he just rushed in one direction, and even the short bow and firewood knife he carried with him didn't know where to throw them, let alone the bamboo pole that explored the way.
Until his path was blocked by a sword that had not been drawn.
"Why is this friend so flustered? What can I do to help?"
Armed with a sword in one hand is a young man, or rather, a swordsman, a ranger!
"Yes...... Call...... There's a monster!" Li Tieshan still wanted to continue running in the direction of the long sword, but he found that no matter which direction he ran, the long sword was exactly across his chest, which made him have to look up at the owner of the long sword.
When Changxi heard the words 'there is a monster', he was overjoyed, could it be that the legendary creature he was looking for had appeared? He had been wandering in the snow for more than half a year, but he had never found any trace of the other party, which was the most crucial part of his initiation.
At this moment, he suddenly found some abnormal traces, of course, it is impossible to let Li Tieshan leave easily, this is going to let him run, and the next time he wants to encounter it, when will he have to wait?
"Tell me clearly, what does that monster look like?, don't worry, with me, I won't put you in danger!" Changxi's tone changed slightly, and he seemed more urgent.
"That monster ......" Li Tieshan stopped, took a slight breath, and then said: "There is smoke on his body, and the white fog has wrapped all the safe houses inside......!
When Li Tieshan wanted to go into more detail, he found that the young swordsman had already followed the direction he came, and he didn't pay much attention to Li Tieshan at all.
"This person is really strange, that kid is obviously a stranger, he actually went directly, is he also a stranger? No matter, these are not things I can care about, let's go home quickly!"
Li Tieshan said this, of course he couldn't catch up and make it clear, that person seemed to have some ability, even if it was really dangerous, it was not something that a small hunter could help him, so he didn't think much about it, and ran towards a farther place.
......
When Lu Yifan was in the Liuyun Immortal Realm, he learned a mental method, called 'Tongming Sword Heart', of course, he could only say that he had memorized the entire exercise line and annotations of this mental method, as for cultivating immortals, it was impossible to cultivate immortals.
It is explained in the mental method that as long as you can feel a special energy free between heaven and earth and absorb it into your body, you can ignite the Dao fire in the human body's dantian and successfully enter the Dao, which is considered to be the beginning of Taoist practice.
In the commentary, this special energy is called 'aura', with the absorption of more and more aura, the dantian Dao fire will also burn more and more vigorously, when the Dao fire into the prairie fire straight up over the heaven and earth twelve Hongqiao, each grid, it will be stronger by one point, until the apex of the twelve Hongqiao, you can reach the completion of the Dao.
What the specific appearance of Dacheng is like, Lu Yifan doesn't know.
Lu Yifan was woken up by heat (hunger), opened his eyes, and looked around with a little puzzlement, a small closed space, leaving only a narrow small portal, a blue-gray curved dome, not much space, and no furnishings, which looked different from the architectural structure of any building he knew.
If anything, it resembles a burial chamber, but when you look around, there's nothing but a huddled unidentified object and a few simple tools.
At least he was very sure that it was a place he had never been to, and as for how he appeared here, Lu Yifan had no impression at all.
A noisy crackling sound surrounds the surroundings.
Lu Yifan pressed the basket that he contained, and the basket burst at an accelerated pace, and the bamboo strips were scattered all over the ground, giving people the feeling that time had passed for a long time, but it was actually the result of being impacted by high temperatures, and the so-called "firecrackers" came from this way.
"I ...... Am I entering the Dao?" Lu Yifan was stunned, because he suddenly felt that his body was a little different from before, exactly the same as the situation in the record.
Lu Yifan felt that his whole body had become warm, especially in the lower abdomen, which was the place where the dantian Dao fire recorded in the book existed.
Although he couldn't see or touch it, he could clearly feel that there was a flame burning in his body, which was a sign of just entering the Dao, as long as he could make this flame ignite the twelve rainbow bridges of heaven and earth, he would be able to possess mana and become a cultivator.
After successfully entering the Tao, Lu Yifan's frontal combat effectiveness has not been strengthened much, at least he feels like this.
Lu Yifan moved his body, his physique was more vigorous than before, and he had a stronger resistance to the influence of the outside climate, although he could feel that the surrounding temperature was a little abnormal, but he didn't feel too hot.
As for the five senses, he could clearly perceive an inexplicable energy freely wandering in the air, just as he could now see the fine particles flowing in the quiet air in front of him with just his eyes.
"I'm special, I can really cultivate immortals~" Lu Yifan was about to try the feeling of cultivating immortals, whether it was similar to the feeling of staying up late to cultivate immortals and reading literature in his previous life, but some small voices interrupted him.
If it had been before, with his ear power, he would never have been able to hear such a subtle sound, but his body had obviously undergone some changes, and he could even hear some sounds coming from outside.
Lu Yifan put his ear to the side of the thick wooden door of the safe house, and listened carefully for a while, the very slight creaking sound should be the sound of someone stepping on the snow, which is obviously different from the sound of other animals moving on the snow.
"Someone seems to be approaching, I'm the guy, is it the guy who brought me here? He saved me, but who knows if it's a good guy......"
Lu Yifan admitted that he was indeed a little panicked now, this ghost place is unfamiliar with people, who knows what the people are doing?
