There was no moon in the snowy night, and the cold wind was howling, whining like a mountain ghost in the dark mountains.

The roof of the dilapidated house in the mountain village has a large hole, the snow is falling in bits and pieces, and the bright-grained lamps on the wall are accompanied by a crackling bonfire that is burning to illuminate the dilapidated house.

Xu Yuan sat on top of a blanket, draped in a dark brown mink fur, fiddling with a half-foot-tall black porcelain jar.

Inside the porcelain jar was his and Ran Qingmo's supper tonight.

A white flamingo that has been chopped into pieces.

This bird was brought back by Ran Qingmo yesterday, and although it is small in size, its strength is really not weak.

With Xu Yuan's current strength, about ten of him are not the opponents of this little bird with a length of less than half a foot.

However, this does not prevent it from being an excellent ingredient.

With the sound of the jingle of the bottles and cans, Xu Yuan took out all kinds of condiments from the Sumeru ring, added them to the black jars in turn, and after doing all this, the black jars were covered, and placed on the shelves set up above the bonfire and simmered over high fire.

The fresh meat of the white flamingo is firm, and only then can it be marinated and flavored, so that it can be grilled over the fire.

After doing all this, Xu Yuan got up and went outside to wash his hands with snow, and then immediately retracted into the blanket and sat down.

It's really cold in the cold winter of Layue.

Although he has entered the cultivation, he is a mortal below the fourth grade.

He was a little nostalgic for the original Yan Lingli.

Although it comes with an aphrodisiac effect, it is first-class to ward off cold.

But fortunately, there are Sumeru rings filled with various objects, and in addition to the bonfire, there is also a stove tattooed with a gathering flame array in this dilapidated house.

Waiting for the simmering and marinating time was a little long, and gradually, Xu Yuan, who was looking at the abandoned mountain village covered with snow outside, gradually became a little distracted.

After collecting the bones of the old man surnamed the ghost and erecting a tombstone, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo went all the way north to find the secret realm.

It took a month and a half to finally arrive at the Guanyin Mountain Range, where the secret realm is located.

And then a very serious question came before them.

The entrance to the secret realm could not be found.

The Guanyin Mountains are composed of only 12 small maps in Cangyuan, but in reality they stretch for thousands of miles from west to east, and the highest point of the mountain can reach more than 3,000 zhang.

Xu Yuan actually expected this.

At the beginning, the caves in the Wanxing Mountains were easy to find, because the hanging heavens of Tianmen Mountain were very recognizable, and these secret realms hidden in the mountains would naturally not be so easy.

Through the information of his previous life, Xu Yuan could roughly determine that the entrance to the secret realm was in the northwest of the Guanyin Mountain Range, and there was a river left from the top of the mountain next to it.

For the rest of the things, Xu Yuan originally intended to use Ran Qingmo's ridiculously high fortune and his strong cultivation to find it.

Along the river, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo found the long-abandoned village here.

And then

Then half a month passed.

Ran Qingmo does have a harvest when he goes out every day.

Every night, this big ice mound will bring back some "souvenirs".

It's either Breitling grass, or some precious ores, or some precious demon beasts that can be used as medicinal food.

Emperor Ou's bloodline is worthy of its reputation, but the problem is that these things are available in Xiangguofu, and what he wants is the secret method in that secret realm.

With that secret method, he could automatically cultivate twenty-four hours a day.

Thinking about it, Xu Yuan sighed and gathered his thoughts.

Calculate the time, she should be back soon.

While simmering and marinating the flamingos, while waiting for Ran Qingmo to come back, time passed quietly.

About a quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden sound of rustling outside the house.

"Squeak—"

"Squeak—"

It's the crisp creak of boots on the snow.

Hearing this, Xu Yuan smiled slightly, but then frowned again.

Because there is more than one footstep in the snow.

This big ice mound, it's not going to be a living person today, right?

And just thinking about it,

A strange female voice sounded, very young, even a little immature:

"Hey, wood, why did you stop? It's snowing so hard tonight, so hurry in and take shelter. ”

Then a male voice sounded outside the house:

"There's someone inside."

"What's wrong with someone, this house in this Li family village is still in good condition, Senior Brother Qi, most of them spend the night here." The young woman didn't care.

"If there is someone, you have to get his consent first." The man said.

“.”

The woman was silent for a moment, and her voice was tentative: "Well, he doesn't agree, where are you going to stay tonight?" ”

The man groaned slightly, and replied aloud: "There is a cave ten miles ahead. ”

"Ten miles?!"

The woman's voice rose slightly: "If you want to go, I don't want to leave anyway, such a big snow"

The young woman's voice approached the broken house as she spoke.

Silent for a second,

The woman's voice came from a little embarrassed: "Li Erzhu, why are you pulling me!" ”

Li Erzhu stubbornly said:

"You have to get his consent first."

After a tug, the woman seemed to be unable to break free, and said loudly in the flickering fire of the house:

"Hey, people inside, don't play dead, this wood is talking so loudly, you should hear it, right?"

“.”

Well, it shouldn't have been picked up by the big ice mound.

However, Xu Yuan did not speak immediately.

Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that this place is quite familiar.

And if you can walk the mountain path on such a snowy night, you should also be a cultivator, and your cultivation will not be weak.

With a slight groan, Xu Yuan said slowly:

"Come in."

When the voice came out, Li Erzhu immediately let go of the woman's wrist and replied:

"Thank you."

The creaking of snow sounded again, and two figures appeared outside the door.

Xu Yuan also saw the appearance of the two clearly.

The man was dressed in a clear blue single suit, carrying a sword and a bulging cloth bag behind his back, about twenty years old, with an ordinary face and an honest face.

The woman was dressed in a red outfit similar to a cheongsam, draped in a heavy robe, and also carried a sword on her back, looking extremely young and innocent between her eyebrows and eyes, but the cheongsam on her body was very large.

Once inside, the snow is slapped and there is a seductive shaking.

Xu Yuan stared at the two of them, his mind popped out slightly, and then he muttered a little in his heart.

In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn't use his mind to deeply probe the cultivation of the two, but simply investigated the fluctuations of the surrounding source qi, and randomly probing the cultivation of others in the wilderness was about the same as telling the other party, "Dig out the guy, I'm going to you."

However, this check is a bit unusual.

This woman is very normal, her body exudes the aura of running exercises to ward off the cold, and her fluctuating cultivation should be similar to him.

But this man is a little weird, he only wears a single coat on such a cold day, and there is no fluctuation of the source qi that runs the exercises to protect against the cold.

Is it the Fusion Realm?

Only by melting can you not be afraid of the cold and heat, Ran Qingmo is like this.

After embarking on the journey, Xu Yuan encountered many things.

Travelers who borrowed in the middle of the night, refugees who migrated and fled, and even encountered mountain bandits who blocked the road and robbed in the middle of the night with Ran Qingmo.

But a high-level cultivator, this is the first time Xu Yuan has encountered it since he left Jingjiang Mansion.

The four-rank fusion body around twenty years old should be the genius of a certain sect, and there seems to be a Vientiane sect near this Guanyin Mountain Range.

While Xu Yuan was looking at the two, the two were also looking at Xu Yuan.

The woman's eyes were slightly amazed.

Li Erzhu's eyes were full of vigilance.

The scene in front of me was very strange.

The house is half dilapidated, half luxurious.

The bright-patterned lamps on the walls, the tigerskin blanket that covered almost half the floor, the scent of green smoke, the tea tray and precious porcelain cup made of mahogany, and the two people sitting on the futon.

It has been ten years since Lijia Village was slaughtered.

It was very wrong to see such extravagant room furnishings in this deserted village.

Li Erzhu took a step sideways to block the woman behind him, returned his hand to hold the hilt of the sword behind his back, and stared at Xu Yuan for two seconds.

Road:

"You, are you human?"

“.”

Quiet counting,

Xu Yuan raised his hand and pointed at himself, his eyes were a little strange:

"You suspect I'm a ghost?"

Even if Ran Qingmo is not here now, Xu Yuan is not very panicked, after all, there is a portable grandfather.

Although since the ghost fog and his party, this old man has been in the soul ring for most of the time, and only occasionally comes out to say a few words.

But he is.

Li Erzhu nodded: "Hmm." ”

Xu Yuan: "Why? ”

"You can't fit so many things." Li Erzhu held the sword in his backhand, and his eyes were very serious: "High-level demon and ghost illusion realm, it is difficult to distinguish the real from the fake." ”

“.” Xu Yuan.

"Li Erzhu, you are the ghost!"

The cheongsam woman poked her head out from behind Li Erzhu and looked at it, pushed the man from behind, and scolded coquettishly: "Put the sword away, it's Sumeru!" ”

Li Erzhu glanced at the cheongsam woman, and his eyes were a little puzzled:

"Sumeru Ring?"

“.”

The cheongsam woman rolled her eyes, ignored Li Erzhu, spared him and walked a few meters in front of Xu Yuan, hugged her fists sassily, and said:

"Vientiane Sect, Zhou Xiaohe.

"It's rude, don't blame the son, my senior brother is wooden by nature."

Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, some information flashed through his mind, and he smiled randomly and waved his hand:

"It's okay, it's always good to be careful when you're out and about."

After a pause, he added:

"Listen to the wind, Zhou Chen."

Aunt Lou Ji's Tingfeng Building has a good reputation as an intelligence organization, and it is mysterious.

Zhou Xiaohe's eyes flashed with surprise when he heard this, and then he smiled generously:

"It's a coincidence that Childe is still in his own family."

Xu Yuan took out two futons from the Sumeru ring and handed them to the other side with Yuan Qi, and said:

"It's a coincidence, I'm also borrowing from this house, so I won't entertain you, so let's find a place to sit casually."

Zhou Xiaohe saw the futon that appeared out of thin air, his black beautiful eyes turned, and he thanked him:

"Trekking all the way, if it weren't for Childe, my senior brother and I might not even have a place to sit here, I really thank Childe."

Xu Yuan had no intention of continuing to speak.

This woman can recognize the Sumeru Ring, and her surname is Zhou, she should have something to do with the Vientiane Sect Master, and at present, he and Ran Qingmo are looking for a secret realm on other people's territory, which is not suitable for deep friendship.

Zhou Xiaohe's beautiful eyes flashed when she saw this, and she didn't say anything recklessly, and hugged her fists:

"Then my senior brother and I will disturb Gongzi and Sister Ling tonight."

“.”

Xu Yuan was stunned.

Sister Ling?

Ran Qingmo rushed back just now?

Just thinking about it,

Zhou Xiaohe's beautiful eyes were crooked, and he waved his hand behind him with a smile:

"Little sister, you're so cute~"

I have something at home today, so I'll make up for it tomorrow for the time being
