Chapter 177: Married to the Immortals and the Three Realms
Thousands of feet in the sky, the real dragon with scales and claws shuttled through the clouds, resisting the wind; The flaming phoenix flapped its wings slightly, and thousands of fiery meteors escaped from its wings, and if the creatures on the ground raised their heads, they would definitely be able to see the traces left by the dragon and phoenix after flying.
But the people on the ground would never have thought that on the back of the fiery red phoenix, there were still two people standing, hugging each other like fairy couples, overlooking the earth from a high place.
"Childe, please hold Shumin tightly."
Xia Shumin, who was hugged by Chen Ji's waist, said shyly and shyly, her slender body trembled with fear, and her eyes didn't dare to look away.
But she wanted to see it.
Last time I was in a hurry and didn't have time to see the scenery on the ground.
"Okay."
Chen Ji smiled and wrapped her hands around the little lady's slender waist and hugged her in her arms from behind, which made her slowly calm down.
Because he was going to the North Pole, and he wanted to find a spatial rift with Chen Ji to go to the "Netherworld Underworld" where there was no sun, Xia Shumin specially changed into winter clothes.
At the suggestion of her twin maids, she wore more this time than last time.
not only wore several cotton robes and fur furs, but also put on a plush hood, and then wore a bright red cape, and thick clothes wrapped around her, which set off Xia Shumin's more petite and slender appearance, and her elegant appearance made people can't help but want to hold her in their arms and love her.
After leaning on Chen Ji's arms and feeling a strong sense of security, this curious lady can finally poke her head out boldly and look at the ground with her eyes.
Beneath the ever-changing clouds is an endless landscape of mountains and rivers, dotted with rivers and lakes, and a vague glimpse of the wide official roads and some of the cities of the Zhao Kingdom.
"After following Childe, Shu Min knows the vastness of the world!"
Xia Shumin suddenly turned his head, looked at Chen Ji and said, his eyes were very satisfied.
"Followed?"
Chen Ji chuckled and grabbed the two most important words in her words.
Xia Shumin's face blushed slightly, and he turned his head again and didn't answer.
Chen Ji lowered his head and kissed her on the smooth forehead that was exposed, making her exclaim in a low voice, holding a hood to cover her blushing little face, and not giving him nonsense.
The little lady is still very reserved.
Even if there are only two people standing on Caifeng now, she refuses to be too polite.
Chen Ji would not force her, hugging her waist and watching the scenery with her.
The dragon and phoenix were very fast, and after leaving the country of Zhao, after flying in the vast sea for less than half an hour, they saw scattered ice floes on the sea surface in the distance.
Chen Ji asked Caifeng to descend a little and flew towards the Arctic Iceberg Continent on the surface of the sea.
"Childe."
Xia Shumin looked at the pieces of ice floes on the sea, and said thoughtfully: "You said that these icebergs in the North and South Poles are Shumin... Did the words come true, or did they drift from the apocalyptic world where Sister Wan was? ”
When she mentioned that a word came true, her tone paused slightly, as if she didn't want to become the darling of heaven and earth, and whatever she said would become true.
"We don't know yet."
Chen Ji paused and comforted her: "Don't take it too seriously, the principle of the operation of heaven and earth is not something that can be explained in a few words, let alone revolve around one person, if you are still worried, just attribute the changes in heaven and earth to the fact that my son descends to earth." ”
Xia Shumin covered her mouth and smiled, it was the first time she had heard her son call himself this son~.
The two soon came to the shore of the Iceberg Continent.
In a natural sheltered harbor of circular water, Chen Ji saw ships docked.
Compared to the last time he arrived, the ships were more scattered, and the camps were not close to each other, but scattered around.
Not far away, two groups of people were confronting each other and insulting each other.
"Ah, Phoenix, there is a real dragon in the sky, it's Chen Gongzi who is here!!"
Someone was the first to exclaim loudly.
The sound was quite surprising, and it was extremely loud, and immediately alarmed many people in the ship and around the ship.
The Jianghu people wearing thick clothes walked out of the cabin one after another, looked up at the sky, and sure enough, they saw the amazing dragon and phoenix beasts flying in the air.
A dragon and a phoenix, hovering in the sky, seem to be looking for a suitable place to land.
After a few moments, they slowly fell.
The phoenix turned into a fiery red bird several feet high, standing on top of a towering iceberg.
The flock of birds that followed, under Chen Ji's command, put the bags of things they were holding in their claws on the solid surface.
The real dragon also threw down the supplies, burrowed into the sea, and cruined in the sea, seemingly catching some fish and shrimp to eat.
"Chen Gongzi!!"
Prince Lu Huai led several guards with knives to hurry over, and Gonggong Liu, who was wearing a mink coat, was faster than him, and he felt a smile on Chen Ji's ruddy old face in front of him.
"Father-in-law Liu."
Chen Ji glanced at him, "You look good, I thought you would suffer a lot in the North Pole, but I didn't expect to have a good time." ”
"Of course, this is the blessing of Gongzi Chen!"
Gonggong Liu smiled and patted his ass, "Master Chen Gongzi opened the gate of heaven with a sword, and the immortal qi poured into spiritual grass in this ice and snow, and the miscellaneous family also ate some of it, and after being nourished by the immortal qi, the body is naturally too good!" ”
The people who gathered around nodded together.
They were all wearing cotton jackets and coats that had not been washed for more than half a month, and their appearance was very inconsistent with the powerhouses of the Innate Grandmaster Realm, but the complexion on their faces was not bad, and they thought that they had eaten a lot of spiritual grass found from the North Pole.
This is also the reason why they are reluctant to leave this icy and snowy place.
At this moment, after seeing Chen Gongzi come with a bunch of bulging packages, they all looked over and guessed what was inside.
Some sharp-eyed people had already recognized the logo on the package, and their eyes suddenly lit up.
"Stop being a sycophant."
Chen Ji smiled and waved his hand, looking at the person he was confronting just now: "Why did you have a dispute just now?" ”
Xia Shumin stood beside him and followed Childe.
It's a pity that she doesn't know these Jianghu people.
"Go back to Gongzi Chen."
A big man with a spear as a weapon stood up, pointed at the other group, and scolded angrily: "Song Laosan, who was raised by this son of a bitch, borrowed thirty catties of coal from us some time ago, saying that it would be returned in a few days, but after seven or eight days, he still spoke in a vague tone, refusing to return our coal, and the son of a son of a dog raised something that did not keep his promise!" ”
"What a borrowing!"
Song Laosan held the sword in his hand, arched his hand towards Chen Ji, and said loudly: "It just so happened that Chen Gongzi was here, so I asked Chen Gongzi to comment on it, at that time, I exchanged three catties of coal with him with two spiritual grasses, but after he was about to run out of coal, he turned his face and refused to admit it, and he didn't even mention the spiritual grass, forcing us to take out the coal!" ”
"Nonsense, that spirit grass is clearly a mortgage, where is the sale?!"
"Mortgage? What a joke, you don't dart, but start a pawn shop in this ice and snow? ”
On both sides, you say a word to me, and no one will accept anyone.
Xia Shumin blinked.
In other words, in Yongkang City, thirty catties of coal can not be exchanged for two spiritual grasses, even if you exchange one hundred-year-old ginseng.
But in the North Pole, where the cold wind is howling, this group of people in the rivers and lakes can tear their faces for thirty catties of coal, and no one cares about the two spirit grasses at all.
Xia Shumin turned his head to see that the endless land was covered with white ice and snow, and he couldn't see half a single grass or tree.
No wonder they are all grabbing coal.
Even if they are not afraid of the cold by relying on their true qi, coal can make a fire, and it is naturally extremely precious to boil water for cooking.
"Alright, shut up."
After Chen Ji understood what had happened, he told them to shut up.
With his current identity and prestige, the people of the rivers and lakes naturally did not dare to disobey him, so they obediently shut their mouths, and both sides took three steps back to show that they would not make a move in front of him.
"I don't care about that."
Chen Ji said to them: "I will only make a rule: if there is a dispute in the North and South Poles, no one will be allowed to do anything, and it will be resolved after returning to Zhao!" ”
The crowd was silent.
I don't know if I recognized it or not.
"It's cold and snowy here, the environment is harsh, you don't work together, but there is constant infighting, and there is only a dead end waiting for you."
Chen Ji continued: "Do you know what happened in the Arctic? ”
The crowd looked at him.
Prince Lu Huai pondered for a moment and asked, "What Brother Chen said is that many people are missing, there are no dead people, and there are some strange places here that can glow and drag people in, these two things?" ”
"Brother Chen, the two are related, right?"
Lu Huai couldn't help but ask again.
The people in the surrounding rivers and lakes showed frightened looks, they actually guessed it, but they were still reluctant to let these spirit grasses go, so they didn't flee immediately.
"Not bad."
Chen Ji nodded, "I met them in one place, including Wang Shaodang, Liu Sangu, Chu Nantian and others. ”
"Helper!"
The people of the Heavenly Sword Society exclaimed, they hadn't seen the helper for many days, and the dragons were already panicked after the leaderless, and now they suddenly heard the news of the helper, and they were all very excited and asked eagerly.
"I'll talk to you later, and I'll wait for the others to come back."
Chen Ji pointed to the materials brought by the dragon and phoenix, "These things were brought by your family and friends, and they are all engraved with signs, so you can take them back according to the signs." It can hold you up a little bit more time here."
Everyone was overjoyed, and even Lu Huai couldn't help but show joy on his face, and thanked Chen Ji again and again.
"Thank you, Brother Chen!"
"Thank you Chen Gongzi for your help!"
"Chen Gongzi is really righteous!"
"Using the dragon and phoenix to dart, only Chen Gongzi can do it in the world."
A group of Jianghu people happily counted these packages and found out the supplies that belonged to them.
In the distance, those who did not belong to the Zhao Kingdom, but came from Fusang and Shenluo in the Western Regions, could only look at them with envy, they seemed to know that this Chen Gongzi was too lazy to help them, and he did not have the cheekiness to come up and ask for help.
Chen Ji naturally ignored it, he had already contacted too many people in the four worlds, and he had no interest in this group of foreigners.
When the materials arrived, the dragon and phoenix disappeared in front of everyone.
However, Chen Ji can still sense their existence, and they will appear as long as he shouts.
"Brother Chen, you and your cousin don't have a place to settle yet, right?"
Prince Lu Huai didn't bother with the inventory of supplies, and walked over and said to him and Xia Shumin enthusiastically: "It's better to go to my camp to rest for a while, drink a cup of hot tea, and wait for others to come back, Brother Chen will talk about things." ”
He looked at Xia Shumin and said with a smile: "My cousin came in a hurry last time and came back quickly, and he didn't suffer from the cold, this time he stayed longer, and he could warm up his body by drinking a sip of hot tea." ”
For Chen Ji, there is no need to drink tea to warm up, but for Xia Shumin, it is different.
Xia Shumin didn't speak, looked at Gongzi and waited for him to decide.
"Thank you, Brother Lu."
Chen Ji agreed to the prince's proposal.
Lu Huai became more and more enthusiastic, with a smile on his face.
"This ......"
Gonggong Liu saw this matter in his eyes, and after looking at the people in the rivers and lakes around him, he nodded secretly.
The prince was able to invite Chen Gongzi and the daughter of the Xia family to settle down in the camp to rest this time, which was of extraordinary significance.
Especially when he called Xia Shumin his cousin in public, it made the people in the rivers and lakes show a surprised look, thinking about his relationship with Xia Fu and Xia Shumin.
It doesn't matter what the relationship is, as long as you can get involved with Chen Gongzi, you can borrow the power of immortals to do something.
As Prince Lu Huai, this is amazing.
As the emperor of the Three Dynasties, Gonggong Liu knew very well what the prince wanted to do.
Chen Ji and Xia Shumin naturally didn't think so much, the two soon came to the imperial court camp, under a leeward cliff, there were tents set up, and the tents were covered with thick fur, and the warmth should be quite good.
This time there were quite a few people sent by the imperial court, and there should have been hundreds of people living in more than thirty tents, and some boatmen lived on the boats to prevent the boats from being swept away by the waves.
"Brother Chen."
After drinking a few sips of hot tea, Lu Huai couldn't wait to ask, "You didn't come here this time just to transport rice, flour, grain and oil, right?" Brother Chen didn't know where he met Chu Nantian and other missing people? ”
Chen Ji smiled slightly, "Wait for the people to come back and say it at once, so as not to repeat it." ”
"It's fine."
Lu Huai didn't ask, and said, "I'll tell Brother Chen and my cousin about what happened in the North Pole recently. ”
Chen Ji nodded.
Xia Shumin sat beside him, holding a hot cup in both hands, and took a small sip of tea.
Drinking tea in a tent in the ice and snow for the first time gave her a novel feeling.
It's quirky.
It made her think of the Hulu on the grassland outside the Saiwai, she didn't like it very much when she was used to living in a big house, and she just needed to live with her son once in a while and experience it.
"Let's have some snacks before we talk."
Gonggong Liu got into the tent and said with a smile on his face, followed by a palace maid in thick clothes, holding a plate of peanuts and snacks.
Chen Ji glanced at this palace maid, it was not easy to follow the prince here, and it was not easy for her to come.
"These days, we have found a lot of spirit grass in the Arctic."
Through the narration of Lu Huai and Liu Gonggong, Chen Ji probably knew what happened on the North Pole.
After a group of Jianghu people frantically searched and excavated, they dug up thousands of spiritual grasses in the surrounding hundreds of miles, many of which were directly eaten by them, and the rest were either continued to be planted or dried to see if it was effective.
They once again verified a rule, that is, wherever there is spiritual grass, it must grow in some strange things, suspected to come from the fairy world.
It's just that they don't know how to use these things, and after they have more, they slowly don't care, some are collected, and some are buried in hidden places to see if they can grow spiritual grass in the future.
More than ten days ago, the news of someone's disappearance spread, and at first, some people didn't care and continued to search for Lingcao.
But as more and more people went missing, many were afraid to leave the camp again and wait and see.
Then, someone found something strange that could suck people in, and they began to feel uneasy.
Until Chen Ji and Xia Shumin came.
"Where are the things you have collected that have grown out of the spirit grass?"
After listening, Chen Ji said.
The last time he came, he just confirmed that these things were modern items, and he didn't look at them much, because they were really not special, they belonged to modern technological garbage that could be seen everywhere, but after they crossed into this martial arts world, there was a spirit grass born inexplicably.
Chen Ji can only speculate that these modern garbage have been contaminated with some kind of power after coming to this world, such as immortal power, so they have grown spiritual grass.
"It's piled up in the tent, Brother Chen, wait a minute, I'll send someone to fetch it immediately!"
Lu Huai was very simple and immediately ordered someone to take it.
After all, those things are really useless, and I don't know how they grow spirit grass.
The modern garbage from the earth was quickly piled up in front of Chen Ji.
Mineral water bottles, mobile phones, speakers, plastic bags, sockets, SOD honey bottles, etc.
"Hee-hee-hee."
Xia Shumin covered his mouth and smiled.
Lu Huai asked her in surprise, "Why is my cousin laughing?" ”
"Ugh."
Xia Shumin glanced at Chen Ji and made an excuse: "I just think they are weird." ”
The last time she came, she did think these things were weird.
But!
After returning from a trip to Earth, Xia Shumin had completely understood that these things were from the Earth where Childe was, and she had even drunk mineral water and walked with Childe on the Earth Commercial Street with a plastic bag.
So, she has a sense of joy now.
After following Childe, her knowledge has also improved~.
Chen Ji ignored the little lady in the excitement, picked up a cosmetic product, and looked at the production date and production company on it.
The date is 2025.
Three years after Chen Ji's world, that is, the year before Da Zhou Wan's doomsday world.
