After a quiet night, the next morning the camp woke up to a mouth-watering scent. The pen %fun %pavilion www.biquge.info crawled out of the warm grass nest with a shimmering nose, Liu Ye, who had only slept for six hours, was still a little sleepy-eyed, but several senior brothers beside him had already rushed to the fragrant cauldron.

"Wow, what does this smell so good?"

"This tastes ......" Qu Tong stretched his head above the wafting heat and inhaled sharply, and then he looked intoxicated and exclaimed: "This is simply the best taste in the world, yes, it is the same as the dishes of Juewei Zhai." No, I have to taste it. ”

Qu Tong, who was looking for something around, suddenly found a wooden bowl handed over to him, and looked at it It turned out to be Tianyou, so he quickly scooped a bowl and sent it to his mouth after thanking him. Tianyou reminded "hot" on the side and didn't stop this guy from pouring a big mouthful into his mouth, obviously it was so hot that he was reluctant to spit it out, and he turned around vigorously there, and finally spit it back into the bowl, but he didn't taste anything, and it hurt left.

"Such a big pot, what are you in a hurry?" Tianyou squeezed Qu Tong aside, and then took it upon himself to serve a bowl to several other senior brothers who were close one by one, and then sent a bowl to Liu Ye, who had just gotten up.

In fact, the things in the pot are very ordinary, just mushrooms, but Tianyou's approach is more special. The mushrooms were prepared last night, and only put them in the pot after everyone went to sleep, and then they were kept warm over a low fire in an earthen stove dug by God, and all the mushrooms in it were boiled into a paste overnight, and the taste was so delicious that it could even overshadow a modern dish with a lot of MSG.

Moreover, God bless the mushrooms alone. In that soup, there is actually a kind of grain found in Qingyuan Mountain, which tastes very similar to rice on the earth, but the grains are fuller and the aroma is rich. There is no one to grow this thing outside, only Tianyou found that it tasted good and was suitable for cooking porridge, and then planted a small piece in the forest, and the harvest was also very average. Just now, this pot has already used up one-third of Tianyou's inventory.

The porridge made from this rice-like grain will be particularly viscous, and with the mushrooms in it, as well as condiments such as fish meal added by Tianyou, it will become an extremely delicious mushroom porridge.

This early in the morning, and in the wild, everyone who just woke up was a little chilly, at this time to drink a sip of hot and fragrant delicious mushroom porridge, the feeling was simply sublimated, and it felt that the pores of the whole body were instantly opened, and the cold in the body was discharged, and the whole person suddenly became energetic.

"Hmm...... It's so delicious!" "Some people who are not afraid of being hot have already tasted it first, and then they are out of control, and they are desperately blowing while sucking the pain and pouring it down. Quickly finish one bowl and go to the second bowl.

When the people next to him saw that the front was eaten so quickly, they didn't care whether it was hot or not, so they quickly tasted it themselves, so soon everyone joined the scramble. Obviously, a big pot is enough for twenty or thirty people, but they were stunned by this group of people for a while, and even the pot was taken away and licked. It's a shame that the immortal chief of this sect is not there, otherwise he would be mad when he sees everyone's image. Of course, the premise is that he can withstand the temptation not to grab porridge.

A group of people even licked the bottom of the pot clean, and then they all lay on the ground and couldn't move. Tianyou knew that the monks had a good appetite, so he deliberately made a big pot, and it was also a loss that these rice buckets were all monks, and ordinary people had to die a few. However, now this group of people found that Tianyou had disappeared at some point.

Liu Ye grabbed the least because he was one step slower, and at this time he began to despise others: "Do you still have the appearance of a senior brother?" Senior Brother Tianyou worked hard to make porridge for everyone, and you didn't even taste a bite before you ate it! I don't know if I leave some for others!"

"Talk like you didn't eat. After retorting, the senior brother was also a little embarrassed and asked, "Which of you has seen the senior brother of God? ”

When everyone here was looking for Tianyou, Tianyou had already come to Lu Meng's door. Knocked on the door twice, "Up?"

"My sister and I are up, and Mengmeng is still lying in bed. ”

"Let me sleep for a while! Just for a while!" Bai Bingyu's voice was followed by Lu Meng's begging for mercy, but Bai Bingyu ruthlessly refused, and then heard that Zhao Lingyun also helped Bai Bingyu get Lu Meng up, and after a while, the door opened, and Lu Meng sat on the edge of the bed with his hair messy and looked half-asleep and half-awake, but fortunately, his clothes were neatly dressed.

"Are you here to bring us food?" Bai Bingyu saw Tianyou outside the door holding a small casserole in his hand, and he was about to reach out to pick it up.

Tianyou stepped back to avoid her hand, "Don't, it's hot." You clear a place for me, and I'll put it. ”

Bai Bingyu turned around and pulled Lu Meng away from the edge of the earthen kang, and then flashed to the side. Tianyou walked into the house and immediately smelled an intoxicating fragrance, not the fragrance of food, nor the fragrance of flowers, but the body fragrance of a girl, rich but not pungent, with a warm smell. As soon as Tianyou smelled this smell, he felt that he couldn't control himself a little, so he quickly retracted his thoughts, put the casserole in his hand on the edge of the kang, opened the lid easily, and the fragrance of mushroom porridge washed away the pink breath in the room.

"Wow, what's so fragrant?" Lu Meng, who was still confused, was woken up by his nose in an instant, and jumped over excitedly and refused to move his nest by the casserole. It's a pity that Bai Bingyu dragged her down and avoided this girl to wash.

Zhao Lingyun on the side didn't have much interest in food, and his cultivation was high, which meant that he needed to strengthen his food supplements, so his meals on weekdays were relatively fine, not as casual as ordinary disciples. I ate too much of this good thing, so naturally I didn't have much interest in the food outside. In addition, the monks with higher cultivation can also open the valley themselves. Since you can eat it or not, and you eat good things on weekdays, you don't care about this light meal when you go out.

It's just that what Zhao Lingyun didn't expect was that Tianyou just opened the lid to let the fragrance waft out, and she found that she was a little inadequate in her control.

In the end, the three of them were also like the senior brothers, one of them ate the mushroom porridge for two people with a wooden bowl, and finally they didn't dare to bend their waists.

Tianyou knew that this was their reaction, because when he was in the village before, he basically had this effect every time he tried a new dish. Of course, there will be some dark dishes occasionally, and the villagers who try it will have to pull their stomachs for a few days. But in general, Tianyou's cooking skills are still quite demonic, at least few normal people can resist his cooking skills.

When I didn't cross before, I watched Bei Ye's wilderness survival show, and Tianyou told my friends that Bei Ye's concept is to reduce his own requirements for the taste of food and eat everything that can be eaten. And his philosophy is to improve his cooking skills and turn everything he can eat into deliciousness.

Bei Ye was trained by the army, and everything was for fighting, so "eating" was just to live, how simple and how to come. But he is a child of a rich family, except that the expedition is for interest, there is no reason to pit himself. Therefore, he pursues enjoyment rather than simply living.

Of course, what I enjoy now are those senior brothers and Zhao Lingyun.

After breakfast, everyone gathered together, and everyone went separately to find out about the situation in Xinghuang Village, and then set off together, exchanging information with each other on the way while moving towards Xinghuang Village.

It's a pity that the combat power of these brothers and sisters is monster-level compared to ordinary people, but this communication ability is really not flattering. Of course, it is necessary to be approachable when asking for information, after all, they are begging for information, not interrogating prisoners. These people are accustomed to their status as monks and are naturally superior, so it is not easy to maintain basic politeness when questioning, and there is no politeness at all.

The results are clear. The last information that these people inquired about was not as much as Tianyou asked last night.

Of course, it's not all for nothing. For example, according to the information heard by one of the senior brothers, there had been many corpse frauds in Xinghuang Village before.

The so-called corpse fraud is when a dead body suddenly stands up or sits up. This phenomenon is usually caused by external interference, such as cats, dogs, or other objects passing near the corpse and causing spiritual interference. This kind of thing is considered folklore on Earth, but it is common knowledge on the Shenzhou Continent. Tianyou himself has encountered it twice, both in a nearby town. The corpses usually just stand up suddenly, and will naturally recover when the source of interference such as cats and dogs disappears. It's scary, but it's not harmful.

However, there is another kind of corpse fraud that is long-term, that is, the corpse has encountered a large amount of evil qi infiltration in a short period of time, and then it has not immediately become a zombie, but it can already stand up and move around. This situation is also considered a type of corpse fraud, and it is one of the main categories.

The information that the senior brother inquired about was this kind of more serious phenomenon of corpse fraud that was moving around. The owners of the corpses were all villagers of Xinghuang Village, who died of poisoning and were then buried underground. There are several families who have run back the next day after the dead body has been buried, and one of the corpses has undergone a serious corpse transformation, and has turned into a half-zombie form when it is found by the villagers. Fortunately, it was discovered in time, and it was caught by the villagers and burned with fire to solve it, otherwise something would have happened.

Tianyou had some guesses when he heard this information, but he was not sure, so he asked everyone: "Have you ever heard that the evil qi can poison people?"

"Do you suspect that Xinghuang Village was poisoned because of the poisonous spirit of the villagers?" asked Bai Bingyu.

Lu Meng immediately denied it: "But I haven't heard that yin evil qi can poison people!"

Zhao Lingyun also nodded and said: "The evil qi is very harmful to mortals, and if it is infected for a long time, it will show the phenomenon of being weak and sickly, and no matter how long it takes, it will grow corpse spots on the living person, and if it is not treated in time, it is likely that the corpse will become a living corpse." But to talk about poisoning...... I really haven't heard of it. ”

Liu Ye frowned and said, "Then where do you say this poison will come from?"

"Anyway, let's go over and have a look. Tianyou said and urged everyone to speed up.

Yesterday, I was reluctant to run too fast because the distance was very long, and I couldn't catch up in one day anyway, and going too fast would affect the ability to continue fighting the next day. But now there are only a few dozen miles between Zhao Village and Xinghuang Village, and the speed of the spirit horse can be reached by running for a while, and there is no need to save spiritual power at all.

The hero guy was miserable by God yesterday, and although he woke up this morning, he was still dizzy. Tianyou simply left him in Zhao Village and asked the village chief to find someone to take care of him. Now that there is no such troublemaker, everyone has eaten Tianyou's mushroom porridge again, and the relationship will be good, naturally what Tianyou says.

The speed of the team seemed to be much faster when no one was messing around, and they soon arrived near Xinghuang Village. However, before the team entered the village, a white fog first drifted around, and the closer they got to the village, the fog became.

"What's going on with this fog?" Tianyou frowned and asked a senior brother next to him, it is said that he had been to Xinghuang Village a few times ago, and at that time it was still an important transit point for business routes, and it was lively.

The senior brother also frowned and recalled: "It's weird." It wasn't so foggy before!"

"Is it not that big or is it not so big?" asked Tianyou.

"It's not that big. The senior brother said seriously: "The reason why Xinghuang Village was able to develop in the past was because it was stuck on the trade road to the east of the neutral zone. We are now advancing from south to north along the western side of the Eastern Boundary Mountain, and a little further on we can see a gap in the Eastern Boundary Mountain on our right, which is the northernmost point of the entire Eastern Boundary Mountain Range, and the whole mountain range has become a steep slope as if it had been abruptly cut off. A narrow east-west corridor is formed between this hillside and the Jietian Mountains in the north, and Xinghuang Village is stuck at the entrance to this corridor. ”

"What does this have to do with the surrounding fog?"

"Of course it does. Xinghuang Village is the western entrance and exit of this narrow corridor, and its eastern entrance and exit is just outside the Yellow River. There is also a town by the river, called Huangquandu, which is an important exchange of goods between the neutral zone and many countries in the east. The goods from the neutral zone enter the Yellow River from here, and go north to reach the Wei State, and the other side of the river goes upstream for fifteen miles by waterway to the Tieling Crossing of the Qi State. If you go down the river, you can also go to the ferry in the south of Qi to land. And if you continue downstream, you can also reach the Chu State. Although the distance is long, the speed of the river is not only fast, but the capacity of the ships is far beyond the land transportation, so many merchants who go to the Chu State like to ship goods from Huangquandu. ”

"But you still haven't said why it's foggy. Lu Meng asked.

This time he didn't need to explain, Tianyou helped answer: "Because of the Yellow River." ”

"What's wrong with the Yellow River?"

Tianyou asked rhetorically, "Have you seen the map of the Shenzhou Continent?"

"Of course. ”

"Then you should know. The neutral zone is surrounded by the Ten Kingdoms, and its topography is very strange, and the borders with the surrounding ten countries are all high mountains, as if some powerful beings have raised a circle of mountains from the ground to separate the neutral zone from the ten kingdoms. ”

Bai Bingyu immediately retorted: "It's not that someone has raised a mountain range at the junction of the neutral zone and the ten countries, but because of the existence of these mountain ranges, the forces of the ten countries will be stuck outside the mountain range and unable to penetrate into the neutral zone. The meaning of this order is completely different when reversed. ”

Tianyou nodded and did not refute, but continued: "In addition to this circle of mountain ranges, there are two major rivers in the Shenzhou Continent, one south and one north. ”

"Who doesn't know about the Yangtze River and the Yellow River?"

"Yes. But the two rivers flow in strange ways, aren't they?"

The overall outline of the Shenzhou Continent is somewhat similar to the Asian territory on the earth, but only the outer outline is somewhat similar, but the geographical structure inside is completely different. Not to mention the circle of mountains around the neutral zone, the two big rivers are also very strange, and they are very different from the Yangtze River and the Yellow River on the earth.

Among them, the birthplace of the Yellow River is somewhere outside the Shenzhou Continent, from the northwest of the entire Shenzhou Continent into the boundary of the Shenzhou Continent, and it just separates the borders of Zhao and Song, and the two countries on both sides of the river bank are just two countries. The Yellow River then flows all the way to the edge of the neutral zone, where it is blocked by the mountain range surrounding the neutral zone, and is forced to divert to the northeast, and flows all the way along the outer perimeter of the mountain range in the northern part of the neutral zone, twisting several times in the middle, passing through the Yan, Wei, and Qi kingdoms, and then flowing into the East China Sea. During this time, it was separated from the borders of the Three Kingdoms along with the mountains on the periphery of the Zone.

The other Yangtze River is similar, originating on the border between the Song Kingdom on the Shenzhou Continent and the Qin State in the southwest, but it has not completely separated the two countries, but only divides half of their national borders.

The Yangtze River, like the Yellow River, flowed from the Song-Qin border to the mountains outside the neutral zone before being forced to be diverted. The difference is that it deflects southward, first along the periphery of the neutral zone to the south, then turns eastward, separating the Qin, Tang, Han, and Wu kingdoms from the neutral zone, and then follows the border line between Wu and Chu all the way east to the sea.

The route of the Yellow River in the north to the sea also happened to divide the border between Chu and Qi, so from the map, there are actually only two countries that really have direct contact with the neutral zone, one is the Song State in the west, and the other is the Chu State in the east. In order for other countries to enter the neutral zone, they must borrow from these two countries, or they can only cross one of the Yangtze or Yellow rivers by water.

Tianyou explained to Lu Meng: "The country of Qi is close to the sea, and the sea breeze blows inland from the East China Sea, and then blows on the Yellow River. The Yellow River just has a big turning point here at Huangquandu, the water temperature alternates between cold and hot, the evaporation is large, and the air flow above is changeable, so it is very easy to fog. Coupled with the wind blowing from the east, the fog was blocked by the mountain walls on both sides, and it was only possible to enter the neutral zone along the corridor behind Huangquandu. ”

"So this corridor between the Eastern Boundary Mountain and the Jietian Mountain is a channel for the fog spread on the surface of the Yellow River, right?"

"Not bad. ”

The senior brother from before said, "But although it used to be foggy here, it usually didn't last until this time." Most of the fog on the river surface appears in the early morning, and the sunrise begins to converge, and the residual fog is blown into the valley, and the dissipation rate is a little slower, but it generally does not last until after the hour (7~9 o'clock). It's already late now, and seeing that the fog is still so thick, I'm afraid it may not be able to dissipate after noon. ”

Tianyou pondered for a while, and then said: "No matter what, the task can't be given up at will, everyone be careful." Try not to divide the team too far apart, and everyone should be more concentrated. ”

It is said that the fog is thick, but in fact, it is not really to the point where you can't see your fingers, and the visibility of thirty meters is still there, and the farther places will be covered by the fog, but fortunately, the visibility of these thirty meters is enough to ensure their movement.

Because of the embankment, the team quieted down, and Tianyou also arranged a special mobile position, surrounding Qu Tong and Liu Ye, the two ADCs, in the center of the team. Mocking Wind didn't dare to fly too high, and only circled in a small area above Tianyou's head, for fear of losing his target.

After moving cautiously for a while, there was a sudden hissing sound of mocking wind not far away, which was a signal that had been arranged in advance, and the whole team was on alert in an instant. But because the fog was so thick, they couldn't see anything, only the sound of the mocking wind.

Tianyou turned around and was about to direct the team to advance slowly in the direction where the voice came from, when he suddenly heard a roar from the senior brother in the front row, and then the whole team began to charge, and even Liu Ye and Qu Tong rushed out. That is, in an instant, only Lu Meng was left by Tianyou's side.

At this moment, Tianyou was really dumbfounded, and he didn't know how to complain.

What about teamwork, what about a good defense circle, especially Qu Tong and Liu Ye. People's melee MT anti-high-blood thick rush is also rushed, you two remote ADC follow a yarn to punch a yarn? This ghost team just found out that the situation is like this, in case you really run into a few high-level monsters, how can you live!
