Because the horse was lost by itself, leaving the owner to pull the carriage and running away, Zhang Huang, who had no choice but to carry Cai Yan on foot, to the northeast.

It is now the first month of the new year, the cold of winter has gradually subsided but has not completely receded, the rain experienced by Zhang Huang and Cai Yan is probably the first rain in Hanoi during the period from winter to spring, if you don't go on a business trip, this rain should melt away the endless snow on the empty field, so that the frozen soil can have a chance to pull out green shoots.

For the people who work in the fields all year round, this spring rain is undoubtedly a good omen, but for Zhang Huang and Cai Wan, it is not a good thing to be drenched in the rain and then blown by the spring breeze that is still a little cold.

In all fairness, Zhang Huang is not afraid of the cold, after all, as long as he transports the rigid body, even if it is a cruel place where the weather is cold and frozen, as long as there is enough food, he can live with taste, but Cai Yan on his back can't bear it.

No, he was obviously still in a coma, but Cai Yan was shivering in the cold wind, and his cold little hand unconsciously hugged Zhang Huang's neck, making Zhang Huang feel an inexplicable heartache.

[This can't go on like this......]

Turning his head and glancing at Cai Yan's beautiful face, which was gradually becoming pale, Zhang Huang realized that he had to find a place where he could stay, otherwise, once night fell and the temperature dropped suddenly, Cai Yan, a talented woman who was famous in history, might not have time to leave her name in the world. However, what made Zhang Huang anxious was that he had obviously walked on foot for more than half an hour, but he didn't see any signs of human traffic.

[Do you continue to walk northeast along the official road and hike to the next county seat, or do you change the route and go up the mountain?] ]

Seeing that there seemed to be a small hill in front of him, Zhang Huang struggled in his heart. However, after thinking about it for a long time, he decided to go up the mountain to see if he could find some necessities. For example, a place where you can keep out the wind, and beasts that can be used as food. After all, looking at Cai Yan's pale appearance, Zhang Huang didn't dare to guarantee that she would stick to the next county seat.

After thinking about it, Zhang Huang pinched the trick with his hand, and Zhang Huang stuffed a piece of talisman paper into Cai Yan's mouth.

"Hurry!"

This is not a fire spell, but a 'living talisman' that Zhang Huang prepared to guard against the unexpected a few days ago, that is, the 'Fu Water Technique' that Tang Zhou taught him at the beginning, and Zhang Huang prepared one or two for each of his Black Feather Crow brothers before going to Luoyang. Because when writing the rune paper, Zhang Huang used the blood that contained his own vitality. Mix it in cinnabar, therefore, those few Dao talismans do not need to be cast, in case Li Tong and others are injured, they can be swallowed directly in the mouth, and they can be used to activate blood and dispel stasis and heal injuries on a certain number of dù, which is regarded as a life-saving hole card.

Zhang Huang also kept two of them, one of which he swallowed when he escaped from Heyang, healing him from being injured by Wei Zhongdao's palm lightning. And the other one, at this moment, Zhang Huang stuffed it into Cai Yan's mouth. But then again, Zhang Huang is honestly not sure whether this 'living talisman' can help Cai Yan drive away the cold.

Fortunately, the 'living talisman' that Tang Zhou taught to Zhang Huang at the beginning was indeed a profound and mysterious Taoist technique. Although it couldn't make Cai Yan's body warmer, her complexion was obviously much better-looking, and she was no longer as pale and bloodless as before.

However, it is still imperative to find a temporary place to stay and shelter from the wind. You must know that the living talisman can only solve Cai Yan's urgent need for a while, and after a long time, Cai Yan's life will still be in danger. After all, it takes a lot of time for Zhang Huang to write and make a piece of rune paper. Especially the 'Living Talisman', it takes longer than the 'Fire Talisman', and it is too late for Zhang Huang to temporarily write a second Living Talisman for Cai Yan to devour. What's more, the living talisman is actually not a boasted immortal art, and if you take it many times in a short period of time, it will inevitably leave some sequelae, although it will not hurt your life, but it is certainly unavoidable to suffer a major injury to your vitality. Especially for a woman with a weak physique like Cai Yan, who takes it several times in a short period of time, although she is energetic during the effect of the living talisman, but once her Dao power is exhausted, I am afraid that she may be mentally exhausted for a long time, groggy all day long, and she doesn't want to do anything, just thinking about falling asleep to make up for the loss of vitality.

It is not realistic to find a cave in this kind of low hill to stay in and block the wind, after all, there are not so many naturally formed caves in the low hills, and what Zhang Huang is looking for is a temporary residence built by the hunters in the mountains when they have to stay overnight on the mountain during the hunting in the mountains. It may be a grass hut built on a forest or a relatively well-defended wooden house, depending on whether the hunters are willing to put some effort into tidying up this temporary dwelling.

Luckily, it didn't take long to walk up the mountain forest, Zhang Huang found a strange-looking 'small bag' between the two big trees, about one person high, one zhang deep, full of messy branches, covered with snow, if it weren't for the previous rain, I'm afraid Zhang Huang wouldn't have been able to find out at a glance that this is probably the temporary residence of a certain hunter.

Putting down Cai Yan and letting her lean against the tree for the time being, Zhang Huang quickly tidied up, and sorted out a small open space in front of this Orion shed, ready to tidy up and place a bonfire, which can cool down at night, and have a place to warm up.

Carrying Cai Yan into the interior of the Orion Shed, Zhang Huang began to look for wood to use as firewood, for him who had mastered the Fire Spell Dao Technique, even if it was wood soaked by rain, he could still ignite it, which was not a problem. The question was how to cut down trees that were thicker than his waist.

[If only Wu Hook were still around......]

Zhang Huang sighed secretly.

Speaking of the Wu Hook Divine Soldier, when he first entered the inner city of Luoyang to find Xun You, Zhang Huang left it at Ma Yuanyi's residence, after all, only scholars were allowed to wear swords in the inner city of Luoyang. A few days later, when he went to Ma Yuanyi's residence with Tang Zhou, he wanted to get it back by the way, but he didn't want Tang Zhou's betrayal of Taiping Dao to happen, so that the divine sword fell in the secret room under Ma Yuanyi's residence.

I remember that after escaping from Luoyang, Zhang Huang was distressed for a while, you must know that although the Wu Hook Divine Soldier is not as good as the Heavenly Sword and the Earth Sword is lost to those sword Confucians, but after all, it is still a sword that is as sharp as clay, and it was lost for no reason, how could Zhang Huang not be sad? After all, his biggest ambition was to become a hero who fought with a sword and broke through the world. Not to mention that it's time to use that magic weapon again.

[Looks like you'll have to learn how to chop iron...... It doesn't matter when Wu Hook is there, but without Wu Hook by your side, you will inevitably be constrained...... Foreign objects are foreign objects after all. It's not as good as the skills you have mastered! ]

With a long sigh, Zhang Huang could only give up the tree that was thicker than his waist, and instead went to trouble those thin trees, after all, if it was those trees that were only the size of an arm, Zhang Huang could still break them with a punch with his rigid body.

Because he didn't dare to go far because he was worried about Cai Yan's safety, it didn't take long for Zhang Huang to drag back with four or five arm-thick trees. By the way, Zhang Huang also dragged back a few mountain wolves who were ready to sacrifice his teeth, and these poor mountain wolves rushed out of the hiding place when Zhang Huang was not paying attention and bit Zhang Huang in one bite. As a result, not only was Zhang Huang, who used his rigid body, shattered his wolf teeth, but he was also beaten to death by Zhang Huang with his fists.

First of all, the wolves that Zhang Huang had regarded as dinner were aside, Zhang Huang moved a long stone and sat down, and began to break the branches of those trees.

I have to say that this is a relatively hard job, the small branches are fine, as for those trunks, Zhang Huang, who failed to master the cutting of iron, can only grit his teeth and smash with his fists and chop with a hand knife while exerting a rigid body, how can he describe it with a bitter word. However, this strengthened Zhang Huang's idea of eagerly learning to cut iron.

I finally finished chopping firewood with my bare hands. Zhang Huang erected a simple wooden frame in front of the Orion Shed, stuffed firewood on the upper floor, and immediately found a piece of rune paper from the hidden bag behind his waist.

"Huh?" Glancing at the rune paper, Zhang Huang was stunned for a moment. Because he found that it was a blank rune paper, not a rune paper with the Taoist symbols written.

I don't know what I thought of, Zhang Huang hurriedly took out all the rune papers in the small bag, and looked at them one by one. Cold sweat oozed from his forehead.

[Fire Charm...... Ran out of it while fighting that Wei Zhongdao? ]

Zhang Huang smiled bitterly on his face, and he remembered that since Luoyang fled. He didn't have much time to sit down and prepare some fire talismans.

[That's not good......]

Zhang Huang smiled bitterly and glanced around, and said in his heart that in such a desolate place, where can I find cinnabar?

Of course, it's not that without cinnabar, Zhang Huang wouldn't have been able to write rune paper, it's just that another method is more painful, and he is usually not happy to use it lightly. And now, he has no choice.

[That damn horse, if I get caught in the future, I'll have to slaughter you and burn you!] ]

Cursing viciously, Zhang Huang put his right index finger into his mouth, and his heart was so fierce that he bit his finger with his teeth. He cursed incessantly as he drew one strange Taoist symbol after another on the blank rune paper with the blood on his fingers.

As he was drawing, Zhang Huang suddenly heard a few slightly painful moans behind him, and it turned out that Cai Yan had woken up again.

Zhang Huang's prediction was extremely accurate, when Cai Yan woke up again, and after her consciousness gradually recovered, she immediately curled up as if frightened, her arms trembled and hugged tightly in front of her chest, staring at Zhang Huang with a complex look of disgust, hatred, and contempt. His lips were bitten slightly, and his eyes were filled with mist.

"If I say I didn't do anything to you, would you believe it?" Although he didn't have much hope, Zhang Huang couldn't help but say something.

Cai Yan looked at Zhang Huang coldly, with a look of almost indifference and despair, it was obvious that she didn't believe Zhang Huang's words.

No, she sneered indifferently, "If you didn't do anything, why are the slaves here?" ”

"I just hugged ......," Zhang Huang explained, but when he said hugging, he suddenly saw Cai Yan shocked, and quickly changed his words, "Back, I'll carry you." ”

"What exactly do you want?" Cai Yan asked in a cold tone.

"I don't want to do anything." Zhang Huang said while drawing the rune paper.

"Can you let me go, then?"

[Let you go now, you will definitely freeze to death outside, and even if you don't freeze to death, it will become a meal for the beast.] ]

Glancing at the gradually darkening sky, Zhang Huang shook his head and said, "No! ”

Cai Yan was ashamed and angry when he heard this, and couldn't help but scold, "You villain! …… We have been kind to you, why do you want to take revenge? Abducted the slave family, and the bad slave family is innocent? What kind of grudges do we have?! ”

In all fairness, Zhang Huang can understand Cai Yan's mood at the moment. Thinking about it, Cai Yan was originally in Heyang, and he was about to get married in a few days. Wei Zhongdao, a son of the Wang clan who married Hedong, didn't expect such a thing to happen during the period, and she, who was to marry as a bride, was actually kidnapped by a man in Zhang Huang. Even if Zhang Huang is right, even if Cai Wan returns to Hedong in the future, I am afraid that the Hedong Wei family will also look at her sideways.

Thinking of this, Zhang Huang didn't understand Cai Yan's scolding of him, anyway, Cai Yan went back and forth, except for the lewd thieves and shameless people, she couldn't scold anything vulgar since she was a child.

But the problem is that Zhang Huang doesn't speak. Cai Yan didn't give up, obviously there were just a few simple scolding words, but she scolded back and forth for half an hour, so that Zhang Huang, who could have drawn more than ten fire talismans in half an hour, didn't even finish drawing one in half an hour today.

"Are you finished?!" Zhang Huang, who couldn't bear it anymore, turned his head and scolded.

As soon as the words fell, Cai Yan rolled his eyes and fell unconscious again.

[Oops, inadvertently using 'gas drink'......]

Only then did Zhang Huang react. When he drank Cai Yan, he inadvertently exerted a bit of coercion.

It's okay now, Cai Yan, a lady who has not been out of the cabinet, was stunned by Zhang Huang three times in a row.

But this time. Cai Yan didn't faint for long, and after half a pillar of incense, she woke up again. However, this time she didn't seem to have the courage to insult Zhang Huang again. Just curled up in the corner of the Orion Shed, looking pitiful, Zhang Huang, who was not bad at concentration, couldn't help but swallow his saliva.

[Anyway, she has already concluded that I am a shameless person who insulted her innocence...... There is no one here ......]

Zhang Huang casually glanced around. There was a kind of impulse in my heart. But in an instant, he suppressed the restlessness in his heart.

[No, no, no, I want to be a knight, how can I do such a thing?] The Tao is immeasurable, the Tao is immeasurable......]

Silently thinking in his heart, Zhang Huang barely suppressed the heat in his heart, and finally finished painting the fire talisman in his hand.

"Whew...... It's finally done! ”

With a long exhale, Zhang Huang pinched the fire talisman with his fingers and pointed at the firewood pile in front of him.

Immediately, only to hear the sound of the bear, the firewood pile suddenly burned violently, and Cai Yan, who was staring at Zhang Huang with hatred, was stunned.

"You...... Do you know how to do sorcery? Cai Yan couldn't help but ask in shock.

Seeing that Cai Yan took the initiative to talk to him, Zhang Huang thought that this might be an opportunity to ease the tension between the two. But just as he was about to speak, he suddenly glanced at the fire talisman that was still between his fingers.

[What's going on?] ]

Zhang Huang was stunned for a moment, because in his memory, the Dao Talisman was the medium for performing the Dao Technique, and after the Dao Technique was cast, the Dao Talisman would turn into ashes, which was the most basic common sense of Xuanmen Taoism. But right now, he Zhang Huang obviously cast a fire spell, but that Dao talisman did not turn into ashes, which is obviously unreasonable.

Zhang Huang, who was puzzled in his heart, hurriedly put the Dao talisman in front of his eyes, and carefully checked the Dao symbols on it one by one, only then did he realize that it might be because he was distracted by Cai Yan's scolding, so that there was a symbol Zhang Huang drew wrongly and added a little more stroke.

For Dao symbols, drawing a wrong symbol is not as simple as weakening the power, drawing a wrong symbol means that the entire rune paper will be scrapped.

What puzzled Zhang Huang was that he obviously cast a fire spell.

[Could it be ......]

Tearing up the scrapped Dao talisman casually, Zhang Huang's face showed a bit of surprise and expectation, and he raised his hand and pointed to the bonfire in front of him. Suddenly, I saw the flames in the bonfire rising into the sky, if it weren't for Zhang Huang's quick retraction, I am afraid that the nearby trees would have been set on fire.

[I...... Can I also cast Dao magic without relying on Dao talismans? ]

Zhang Huang couldn't believe what he had discovered, because he had never discovered or thought that he had this talent, and there had never been a similar record in the Daomen, unless he used the technique of the left path of the side door like Wei Zhongdao.

[It seems that after going to Luoyang, the power of my fire spell has inexplicably soared, and now I don't even need the necessary Dao talisman medium, what is going on?] …… By the way, there is also an inexplicable extra demon soul in the body that the world dreams of......]

Zhang Huang touched his chin and thought, and at the same time stretched out his hand to point to the bonfire, and said to Cai Yan absentmindedly, "Take off your clothes." ”

"What...... What the? Cai Yan looked at Zhang Huang sadly when he heard this.

At this moment, Zhang Huang's mind was full of the inexplicable changes that had happened to him recently, where could he take care of Cai Yan, frowned and said, "Take off your clothes!" I'll bake it dry for you. ”

"I don't ......"

"Less nonsense!"

"......" Cai Yan looked at Zhang Huang sadly and angrily, gritted his teeth, turned his back and withdrew his clothes one by one, and handed them to Zhang Huang with a red face, leaving only the most intimate belly pocket.

I have to say that at this moment, Cai Yan's white back like beautiful jade can be said to be completely exposed in front of Zhang Huang, but unfortunately, Zhang Huang at the moment obviously has no interest in appreciating this beautiful scenery, his hands are casually baking Cai Yan's clothes, and his head is thinking about those answers.

Until the clothes were dried, none of the things that Cai Yan had thought about before that were quite cruel to her happened, and even Zhang Huang didn't look back at her, staring at the bonfire from beginning to end, with words in his mouth.

This made Cai Yan feel a little surprised, after taking the dried clothes and quickly putting them on, she quietly looked at the man in front of her who was not necessarily older than her, even if Zhang Huang had already begun to bake his own clothes at this time.

[Huh?] ]

With a bit of curiosity in her eyes, Cai Yan looked at Zhang Huang's naked back with some surprise, and she found that Zhang Huang's back seemed to have a bird tattooed with only an outline, and what was incredible was that this strange bird bathed in fire seemed to have three legs.

Cai Yan didn't know that it was originally just a pale red scar that Zhang Huang had been burned by the fire.

[Three-legged golden crow?] ]

An overview of this legendary mythical bird came to Cai Yan's mind.

[Yiwu, also known as the three-legged golden crow, the bird, resembles a crow, the whole body is light gold, has three legs, is born in the sun, can spit fire, is the emperor of the world's yang fire. The sky roars, the wind stops, the rain stops, the sky is clear, and the scorched land becomes carbon. It is a symbol of the 'clear sky wheel (i.e., the bright sun, the blazing sun)'. (To be continued......)
