Chapter 15: The Journey (1)

The sun shines through the dense branches and leaves, sprinkled on the ground, mottled and scattered, after looking at it for a while, I only feel that my eyes are full of golden light, and I heard the team leader inform me that it was time to rest, Lin Xi rubbed his eyes and stood up, looked up at the sun in the sky, it was already September, the weather still did not turn cool, I shook off the dust on my body, and walked quickly to the carriage without saying hello to others.

This is the seventh day of departure from the Holy Step.

The weather is hot, the whole southwest is like a big steamer, the clothes on the body have not been dried, not to mention that people can't stand it, but they are tired and tired, and the team leader has to stop and repair at noon every day when it is the hottest.

Today's rest time came, Lin Xi returned to the carriage, because of the cold ice charm pasted before, the carriage was filled with a trace of coolness, indescribably comfortable. Although the inside of the car is much cooler than the outside, Lin Xi will still go out and hide in the shade of the trees during the rest time, no matter how comfortable it is, anyone who sits in the car for a day can't stand it.

After resting enough, Lin Xi began to study the talisman again.

These days in the car, her routine is very regular, because of the taboo when she cultivates, it is arranged at night, and the formation and talisman are arranged during the day, given that she knows little about the world of cultivating immortals, she will move a stack of books from the space every few days, and spend a lot of time reading related books after studying.

The difficulty of the talisman is not great, and Lin Xi has made rapid progress in this regard.

These days, Xiaolan used the Dan furnace in the space, plus the spirit grass purchased from the caravan, to refine a few furnaces of high-grade Gathering Spirit Pill, Lin Xi's cultivation grew rapidly after eating the Gathering Spirit Pill, and now it is the end of Qi refining, so the quality of the talisman has also improved. Lin Zhi also broke through the end of Qi refining and entered the early stage of foundation building, and under Xiaolan's guidance, Lin Zhi was already able to refine a simple pill.

In view of the fact that the sisters and brothers have recently practiced a lot of talismans and pills, including the high-grade talismans and pills made by Xiaolan, these exercises are not enough, and when the caravan stopped in the town, they took it to the market and sold it, and the money they got was exchanged for rune paper and spirit grass in less than two quarters of an hour.

Compared with the talisman, the difficulty of the formation lies in the change, a basic formation can often derive dozens or even hundreds of different formations. When different people use the same formation, due to personal habits, preferences and other changes in the formation, and some have to take the most advantageous way due to different geographical locations, these are the reasons for the ever-changing formation.

Learning a formation shouldn't be limited to formality, and it is likely that a small change in your formation will save your life or even kill the enemy in the formation.

This requires learners not only to memorize the formation, but also to spend time and energy to comprehend it carefully, integrate it, and draw inferences from one another.

After so many days, Lin Xi has only learned two formations, and after memorizing the mantra and practicing proficiently, the strict master Xiaolan will let himself set up the formation he learned today on the spot in the place where he camped every day after dinner, and he must set up at least ten different ones. In the first few days, Lin Xi could change one or two at most, spending a lot of time studying the formation every day, and the long-term concentration of mental power made the spirit extremely tired, but fortunately, with the comprehension of the formation, he was now able to complete the tasks assigned by Xiaolan every day.

Maybe it's because every day is busy, time passes unconsciously, but I don't feel bored about the journey.

Finally looking forward to the sun setting, the temperature around him dropped a little, Lin Xi, who put down the pen, rolled up the black curtain on the carriage, spit out the turbidity in his chest, and watched the distant mountains gradually disappear in the field of vision, the white clouds naughtily rolled in the sky to change into various unspeakable shapes, the sunset spread half of the sky, the happy mood spread in the chest, the corners of the mouth were slightly upturned, and the expression on the face was unconsciously relaxed.

I just came out of Yicheng yesterday, and I still have five days to go to the next city, so it seems that I will stay in the wilderness tonight.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the outpost came back and said that there was a clean clearing two miles ahead for camping, and that there was a stream next to it to get water.

It was getting late, and the team leader felt that the place was suitable and urged the team to hurry up.

When I arrived at the place, it was an excellent open space, and there was a small stream on the edge of the clearing, and you could see fish swimming in it, and it was very convenient to get water; On the other side of the road, there is a dense forest, according to the people who came back from the investigation, the forest is not big, four or five zhang wide, and the forest is full of small animals.

Taking advantage of the fact that the sky was still dark, the team leader demarcated the area of rest, and arranged for the people to surround the camp first, as usual, in a circle, the cars were connected by iron chains, and the supply and low-value cargo carts were placed in the outermost circle, and high-value vehicles such as ginseng and lingzhi were surrounded in the middle circle with the cars in which they were guests and dozens of beasts.

Soon tents were erected in the camp, and the number was limited to five people. Because they had to practice at night, Lin Xi and Xiaolan had always rested in the car.

Watching the sky gradually darken, the cooks in the caravan set up a cauldron on the bonfire, boiled hot oil, poured all kinds of messy meat and vegetables into the pot, and then added half a bucket of water to cover the pot, and after a while, white smoke came out of the edge of the pot lid, and when you stood closer, you could hear the gurgling sound of the food in the pot being cooked, and the aroma of the food spread in the camp, and the legendary "Northeast Messy Stew" came out of the pot.

The tongue has long been accustomed to eating grandma's craftsmanship, although there are pots and bowls with him, but there is no reason to eat alone for others to watch, and he is worried that he will be tired of doing too much grandma, and Lin Xi has been enduring the "Northeast stew" these days.

After getting out of the car, when I got water by the stream, I saw the chubby silly fish inside, what boiled fish, spicy fish, braised fish, and sauerkraut fish all came out of my mind, and I felt that the salivary glands have never been so vigorous. At present, there is nothing to care about, Lin Xi took off his shoes and went into the stream, he had no experience in catching fish, and it took him a long time to catch two small crucian carp three inches long, and finally his grandmother went out and braided a fishing net with a branch to catch a bucket of fish.

Xiao Lan controlled ten knives at the same time, and in less than a quarter of an hour, he cleaned and cut them all in half.

I didn't have time to do it too complicated, so grilled fish was the perfect fit, so I mixed the seasoning and applied it to the fish, broke off a bunch of branches from a nearby tree and forked it onto the fish, and inserted them diagonally into the ground around the fire, and the rest was to wait.

When the "Northeast Messy Stew" is cooked, the grilled fish also becomes slightly browned, and the smell of fish wafts in the air. Looking at the people who came along with the smell of grilled fish, Lin Xi left a few of himself and the ones to give to the leader, and the rest was all distributed to the people in the caravan.

After the meal, the grilled fish was unanimously praised by the people in the caravan, and the team leader wanted to hire grandma to serve as the caravan's cook during this period, considering grandma's age and health, Lin Xi decisively refused.
