Chapter 2: Snowfield

Time passed, the girl and the old Taoist chatted for a long time, and the people in the carriage gradually calmed down, stayed in their seats, and looked out the window at the heavy snow without stopping.

"Fellow Daoist, let's go out for a walk, it's too depressing in the carriage." The obscene old man looked at Zhu Beichen who had been silent on the side, and rarely talked, and suddenly asked coldly.

"Come less, who is with you Taoist friends, my Tao is not on the same road as your Tao, the barren mountains and mountains, the trains are all closed, there is strong wind and snow outside, and you still go out for a walk?" Zhu Beichen also felt a little depressed in the carriage at this time, but looking at the wind and snow outside, he was disgusted with this old way, saying that the wind is rain, and he was very familiar with himself, and he went out for a walk.

"Okay, okay, it's really beautiful outside, let's go out and have a look, okay?" Qingwen looked at Zhu Beichen pitifully with an expectant expression, and didn't feel at all what she would face when she walked out of this train in this unpredictable weather, maybe the outside was really beautiful, maybe the carriage was really depressing.

Qingwen couldn't help but pull Zhu Beichen to get up, and said to the obscene old way, "Go, settle down, and lead the way." ”

Zhu Beichen was also indifferent at that moment, the first time he faced the coquettishness of a strange girl, his body did not hesitate to resist and let Qingwen lead him, thinking back on this fragment many years later, maybe it was the fragrance that always wandered on the girl's body, maybe it was the scenery outside the window, he didn't suspect it for the first time, and actually acquiesced to the girl's almost a bit of a mistake at that time.

Jin Ding took the girl and Zhu Beichen through one carriage after another to the end of the whole train, took out two ironware with a strange shape in front of a car door where no one was nearby, embedded them in the gap in the door, and tinkered with their hands and feet, only to see that the door was easily open to the three of them.

Qingwen stared at the old Taoist priest with bright eyes, with an expression of extreme admiration, and the little girl's heart was naturally very interested in such a novelty.

As soon as the three of them stepped off the train, their legs were deeply immersed in layers of snow, and bursts of cold like winter hit the three of them through the soles of their feet.

"Old Taoist, you didn't buy a ticket?" Zhu Beichen seems to have something in common.

"The sleeper is sold out." He replied loudly and intellectually, without the slightest guilt of doing something wrong, but just laughed at it.

Qingwen was already like a fish in the water, heading towards the overwhelming ice and snow. The attacking purple dress passed through the snowflakes in the sky, and gradually disappeared, like a fairy in the snow, and the laughter like the strings plucked echoed in the vast space, mixed with the sound of the rolling wind, like a dream. That touch of purple, proudly in this white snowfield, is so holy and harmonious, and it has been integrated with this snow.

"The hands are like soft wattles, the skin is like clotted fat, the collar is like a grub, the teeth are like a rhinoceros, and the head of the mantis is like an eyebrow. "Zhu Beichen couldn't help but be stunned, maybe the picture was too beautiful, and it would be rare to be in such a good place after many years, to appreciate a girl as holy as the snow-capped mountains in Tibet." The corners of his mouth also easily grinned from the heart. Zhu Beichen rarely laughs, but at this moment there is a kind of nostalgia that makes him unconscious.

The two followed Qingwen's footsteps all the way, slowly walking in the ice and snow.

"The first time you've seen snow?" Jin Ding finally settled down, and asked seriously for the first time.

"Can this be calculated?" Zhu Beichen, who grew up in the south, saw the snow scene for the first time in his life, as for Hu Xu, who was born on the edge of Luoshui, but he had never seen wind and snow, so he naturally couldn't hide this Taoist priest.

"You hide yourself too deeply, even if you deliberately hide it, your body language will still inadvertently reveal your thoughts, this doesn't need to be counted."

Zhu Beichen was silent, as if thinking about something, and the two walked all the way like this.

"Look, the stars in the sky are so bright and beautiful!" The two of them looked at the words from Qingwen in the distance, it was a bright Big Dipper star in the night sky, and the starry sky under the snowy night was as beautiful as a dream, full of stars.

Zhu Beichen had no intention of admiring the starry sky, the heavy snow continued to fall, and the bodies of the three of them were covered with crystal snowflakes, he felt a little cold, and he also regretted doing this crazy move, running out with such a girl and such a Taoist priest. He folded his hands around his chest and began to tremble. Looking around at the two of them again, it seems that they are two monsters who don't eat fireworks in the world, and they don't see that the two of them will feel cold at all, one is still jubilant in the snow, and the other is not talking on the side, just look at the night sky, look at this snowfield.

"Cold? The young man's body bones are not as good as my old Taoist priest. ”

Zhu Beichen didn't even bother to roll his eyes at the moment, half-squatting and curled up his body and glared at the obscene Taoist priest fiercely.

"Daomen's qi refining formula, strengthen the body and keep out the cold, do you learn it?" Entering the pretended to be posturing.

"Can you cultivate into a Da Luo Golden Immortal and become a peerless master?" His teeth were trembling with his frozen teeth, but Zhu Beichen was still such a resolute and eloquent person.

"Have you read too many martial arts novels? This is just a Taoist mantra for refining qi, a profound way of breathing, through the guidance of the body's breathing cycle, to enhance the physique, to resist the cold. ”

Zhu Beichen still looked disdainful, with his own experience, he always felt that this Taoist priest was deducing profoundly, and what he said was a very mysterious thing.

Suddenly, he saw the old Taoist priest Mu Ran standing in front of him, his eyes were dilated, and his body was trembling slightly. In my heart, I was laughing at the old Taoist priest, and I was talking about how to nourish qi and breathe, and I was not trembling. Suddenly, I felt that something was wrong, and turned around according to the Taoist priest's gaze, about fifty meters in front of me, it was Qingwen, and in the distance, in the white ice and snow, a few gray shadows appeared, and it seemed that the gray shadows were still moving towards themselves, getting closer and closer.

However, in more than ten seconds, those gray spots had moved to Qingwen's side, and at this time, Zhu Beichen finally saw what it was, and suddenly he no longer felt the cold of the snow, the trembling between his teeth was even worse, and the trembling of his whole body was better than before.

"Wolves, wolves, those things are wolves." Zhu Beichen, who grew up in the mountains, naturally knows this kind of social animal, and also knows that they are good at teamwork hunting, even if they encounter a lone wolf, they are afraid of abnormality, let alone this group.

While shouting, he turned around, "Settle in, wolf, there is a wolf," Zhu Beichen just turned around, where is there still the figure of the obscene Taoist priest, and at this moment, he has already run back a hundred meters quickly on the snowy land, and his ability to escape can be called superb.

"Fuck, this nasty thing." Zhu Beichen, who was usually considered self-contained, couldn't help but be rude to his behavior. Looking back, the wolves had already surrounded Qingwen. I'm thinking about what to do, whether to go back to save her or run away, but can I save her, and will I go back to give this group of wolves more food?

At the juncture of this difficult choice of human nature, Zhu Beichen suddenly felt that his head sank, as if something heavy had fallen on the back of his neck, and he felt that the heavens, the earth and the stars were flipping, and then quickly dimmed, and his body also fell into the snow, and he actually fainted on the ground.

The wolves gradually surrounded Qingwen, and the roar of the wolves became more and more hideous, which was a kind of hunger and hunger for food. They slowly narrowed the encirclement, confined Qingwen to a circle with a radius of about one meter. Qingwen didn't know if she was scared stupid, and she never let out a shout.

She slowly squatted down, gently stretched out her hand, and tried to touch the wolf in front of her, only to see that the wolf did not flinch or move, just stood there quietly squinting, letting Qingwen's hand press on her head. A smile appeared at the corner of Qingwen's mouth, it was a kind of smile that ignored the common people and no longer had any feelings, without any sound.

This is the scene that Zhu Beichen fell on the snow, before he completely lost consciousness, the scene that came into his eyes, the strange wolf clan and the girl who didn't know his identity.

This night was the coldest night in Zhu Beichen's life, and the cold air of the snow penetrated deep into the bone marrow.

In the hazy coma, he felt as if he was still conscious, and the cold air that penetrated his limbs through his body seemed to be devouring cells and chewing bone marrow, and he was going to die?

Every day and night in the past 18 years, I have been strong in survival, often hungry for a day, enduring the colic in my abdomen, only at night to pick up firewood, boil white porridge as thin as soup to satisfy my stomach, save and calculate food and tuition, and survive until now. But I never thought that one day I would suddenly die in the wilderness and die in a heavy snowfall in August.

In the night sky, the Big Dipper Star looked particularly weird and bright, but Zhu Beichen, who was in a coma, seemed to be able to see every scene of this night, the weird starlight was getting brighter and brighter, as if it was slowly accumulating light energy, and gradually even his eyes would feel stinging when he looked at it.

Under this extreme starlight, the surrounding environment is becoming more and more dark, but there is always a feeling that something unknown lurks in this darkness.

A faint fragrance that had never been felt before fluctuated into Zhu Beichen's body with his breathing, it was a smell that he had never smelled since he was sensible, and he suddenly felt that his limbs were refreshed.

In the body, the faint fragrance turned into wisps of light blue streams, in an indescribable form along its own veins began to gradually spread through the meridians and organs of various acupuncture points, the cold qi of the whole body slowly dissipated in the subconscious, and with the dissolution of the light blue stream, the temperature of the body was slowly rising.

When the light was at its peak, the Big Dipper Stars and the Seven Stars shot straight out of the sky.

The speed of light shot at a very fast speed with the order of the seven stars one by one towards the snowfield in the belly of this mountain, and finally bombarded Zhu Beichen's body, the white stars were stronger than the other, and each time they shot in, the more intense the light from Zhu Beichen's body became, and the white was extremely white.

If you were in the air, you might be able to see a human figure eerily submerged in this blue light.

Eventually, the blue light faded, and then the light of the Big Dipper began to fade.

The whole night sky, the whole snowfield, was in darkness, and everything gradually calmed down, as if nothing had happened.
