Lushui soup soup, east into the sea. Although it is the middle of winter, although the ice surface is suddenly surging, the river under the ice has never stopped surging, and even if you stand on the ice, you can still feel the endless power under your feet.

Cheng Jun's line of sight stretched out into the distance along the direction of the river.

Lushui, the mother river of Shengtian, winds for thousands of miles, runs through the entire northern plain, after Shengtian, it is Fengtian, Chengtian countries. The further downstream, the greater the water potential, irrigating thousands of miles of fertile farmland.

Going down the Lushui, the more you go, the more prosperous you are, you can go to Yunzhou, where the cultivation is the most prosperous, and then downstream, it is the most important Kyoto in Shengtian, these two places, Cheng Jun will go to in the future, and he must also go, that is a part of the future plan, but now, he wants to go upstream.

Dabing County is located in Jizhou, the dividing point between the upper reaches and the upper reaches of Jizhou's Lushui. Although Naji Mountain is not as dangerous as the legendary Kunwu and 100,000 mountains, it is also high and deep, vast and incomparable, there are many birds and monsters rampant, coupled with the cold of the northern country, frozen all year round, inaccessible, it is really a Jedi.

However, Cheng Jun likes it there, because there are few people, so it is clean. Besides, this Jishan is also a place where good things are produced, at least for now, there are still many benefits that are not known to life, and Cheng Jun happens to know a few.

It's just that now is not the time to talk about that.

Cheng Jun didn't plan to enter the mountain immediately, Jishan was not something he could enter with his current cultivation. As long as he is still here, those good things will not belong to someone else, and he is not in a hurry.

Cheng Jun's plan is to go upstream, build a cave near Jishan now, cultivate quietly for a few years, and then go to Jishan, accumulate enough net worth, and then come back.

Within ten years, he will inevitably come back, because there is going to be a big event in the Northern Realm of Cultivation, and it is a major event that is enough to sweep the Cultivation Realm and make him fish in troubled waters.

As for Dabing County, although it is nominally Cheng Jun's hometown, he has no nostalgia. He didn't leave a good impression on him in his two lives, and he didn't have the slightest warmth of his hometown.

However, maybe he will come back later, because ......

Looking up, there is also a mountain in the distance, and the white mountain can be seen in the distance. That is Wanma Mountain, not to mention Shengtian, even in Jizhou, it is not a famous mountain, but there is a temple in that mountain, which is now unknown, but after a hundred years, because of one thing, a person is famous all over the world.

That person, Cheng Jun doesn't care, but that matter, he can get involved, if he is lucky, there are also great benefits. However, that was also a long time later. Now, the most important thing for him is to find a pure place, at least so that he will not be disturbed by others during the process of entering the Tao.

Let's go.

Cheng Jun took out a stack of rune paper, placed it on the ground according to the direction of the gossip, took the dragon's eye into his mouth, sat cross-legged in the middle of the rune paper, pinched a trick, and shouted: "Burst-"

"Boom-"

The eight runes exploded together, and there was only one roar, and the momentum was so great that it blew a hole in the cold ice on the surface of the river, revealing the rushing river below. Cheng Jun was in the hole, and fell straight down, falling into the biting ice water.

The river water was cold, freezing Cheng Jun's heart numb for a while, and the seven orifices were blocked by the cold water poured into him for a while, and he was busy cutting off his mouth and nose breathing, and the slightest trace of fetal breath circulated, and he poked into the dragon's eyes in his mouth.

In just a moment, Cheng Jun had no breath at all, and his whole body was hard, like a piece of rotten wood, floating in the river. It's just that this piece of rotten wood is not going down with the water, but violating the laws of nature, going upstream, all the way to the upper reaches of the river.

The "carp line charm" can make objects go upstream, like carp. The icy river water can dissipate the heat he emits, and the layers of solid ice above his head give him a temporarily enclosed space, just right for him to enter the Tao.

By the time he breaks through the ice, he must have been completely different, and then he will enter the path, and at that time, it will be the beginning of his real return.

It's cold in the north, and it's even colder in the mountains.

After Wanma Mountain in Dabing County, the mountain is high and the forest is dangerous, only the small road is connected, the snow begins to fall in August every year, it is difficult to go up the mountain, in September, the heavy snow closes the mountain, the road is not passable, the people under the mountain can not go up the mountain, the mountain people can not go out of the mountain, until the snow melts in March of the following year, the mountain and the mountain are the two worlds that read each other.

At the end of the year, it is the coldest season of the year, the heavy snow in the mountains and forests has already accumulated several layers, and the mountains are white and vast, just like a pile of big white steamed buns, even the path can no longer be recognized, and the mountains can only be used to go back and forth with sleds and snowshoes.

On the highest Mashou Mountain of Nawanma Mountain, a mountain stream flows down, winds down, joins Lushui, and forms a clear pool under a cliff in the middle of the mountain on the way. If the ground is freezing today, the mountain stream has long been frozen, and the Qingtan has also formed a thick layer of ice, which is as smooth as a mirror.

Early in the morning, on the rocks beside the waterhole, sat a furry figure, which looked like a bear from a distance, but up close was a young man wearing thick fur, with a tiger head and a tiger brain, with a bamboo basket at his feet, leaning on a longbow, holding a bamboo pole in his hand, sticking into a chiseled ice hole on the surface of the pool, and it seemed that he was fishing.

The young man stared intently at his fishing rod, when suddenly his ears moved, he turned his head, and shouted, "Who's there?"

He sat down on the back of the boulder turned out of a person, his head was shiny, there was no bald hair, it turned out to be a monk, looking like the age was about the same as the young man, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, dignified appearance, and smiled: "It's me." Little rock, what about fishing?"

When the young man saw him, he smiled and said, "Well, the harvest is good. ”

When the little monk heard this, he came to Xiao Shi's side, looked inside with his bamboo basket, and said, "Great, there is my favorite fine-scaled fish, and the smell of willow root fish last time was too strong." ”

Xiao Shi smiled: "Go, you six unclean little ......" suddenly sniffed, changed color and said: "What a heavy taste." You've gone to that nasty place again, haven't you?"

The little monk smiled and said, "Today is twenty-six. I'm going again, there's no way, I have to eat, don't I? Anyway, it's still very refreshing to give money over there. Benefit five hangings at a time. Next, he took out the money box from the back basket of the divine beast, and sure enough, it was full of five copper coins.

Xiao Shi glanced at it and pouted, "The money in that place looks a little dirtier than everyone else's." ”

The little monk put it away with a smile, and suddenly heard Xiao Shi say: "Little monk, what do you think of what I told you?"

The little monk patted his shiny head and asked, "What's the matter?"

Xiao Shi turned his head and said seriously: "That's what I want to do with you to become a monk." ”

The little monk's face twitched, and he said, "This matter......" lowered his head and pretended to pack up his back basket, and said vaguely: "Although you told me, I am a little novice, and I haven't even mixed up the Dharma name, and my name is not on the degree." I can't be the master. ”

Xiao Shi said: "Don't be kidding, now you are the only one left in your Wanma Temple, the abbot, the supervision of the temple are gone, who else can call the shots except you? In my opinion, the elders in your temple will not come back." Don't look at the temple gate with dead eyes, anyway, the plaque of the temple is in your hand, it is better to take the small temple where you live now as a new temple, you have already shaved your hair anyway, this is to light the incense scar, take a loud legal name, and become the host yourself, I will make you a supervising temple, choose a good day and auspicious saying, our brothers will start a sect in the mountains, wouldn't it be happy?"

The little monk spread his hands and said: "Don't say that, although the elder is not here in front of me, it is just a temporary expediency, and Anzhi has not returned to the mountain gate one day......?"

Xiao Shi sneered: "When the supernatural uncle in your temple comes back, he has three punches and two kicks, and drives away the fierce ones, and the monk in the temple will come back and take back the temple gate, isn't it? I have heard this sentence seventy or eighty times, and after waiting for so many hours, why don't you see the figure of that high monk? I see that most of your elders are just explaining a scene, just like losing a fight, and shouting: 'You wait, I will call someone to clean you up when you turn around.'" In fact, it has long been gone. ”

The little monk said with a bitter face: "It's not like it...... Besides, there is nothing fun about monks. There is nothing in the temple, morning and evening have to participate in meditation and chanting, practice hard, can't eat meat, can't drink, can't lie, can't be angry......"

Xiao Shi squinted and said, "I was roasting fish with you yesterday." ”

The little monk smiled bitterly and said, "You know that I am not a real monk now. During the special period, when the abbot and elders come back, I will officially shave my ordination, and naturally I will abide by the rules and precepts. Besides, if you are sincere to the Buddha, it will be fine, but you will only be with your sister......"

Xiao Shi stood up and said angrily: "Why am I not really committed to the Buddha? I want to enter the Buddha Gate is my business, what does it have to do with other people? The Buddha Gate even accepts the butcher who puts down the butcher's knife, but they don't accept me, the hunter who puts down the hunting knife? You are also so unhappy, I won't tell you, and when the snow melts in the next year, I will go out of the mountain to become a monk." As soon as he said that, he lifted up the fishing rod, jumped off the stone with the bamboo basket, picked up the longbow on the ground, and walked up the mountain.

The little monk sighed, put away the basket, and said in a low voice: "Who knew that this cold ice had thawed, and it would take the year of the monkey and the moon?"

The little monk was stunned for a moment, and asked in a raised voice, "What's wrong?"

Xiaoshi said: "Come and see, there are people in the ice!"
