The location of the two of them was already the northernmost part of the Northern Barbarian Land, and although the land was frozen and snowy at this time, fortunately it was still autumn and did not start a long blizzard.

The master and apprentice walked quietly on the snow, leaving two long footprints beyond the gray mountain forest.

After a while, a cacophony was heard.

There was the sound of whistles, falling snow, broken branches, the grinding of clothes as we ran fast, the sound of rumbling, and the roar of beasts.

The master and apprentice calmly jumped onto a big tree and saw the situation ahead.

More than a dozen strong men in leather jackets, holding various weapons and ropes in their hands, surrounded a giant bear that was seriously injured by a trap, and the rope tied a bear's leg, and it was only four people who barely pulled it, and the other eight people cooperated while wrapping the rope with thick arms around the other three limbs of the giant bear, while splitting out the main attack and running towards the giant bear with a long knife in hand.

With a spear stuck in one eye, the other looked at the man running with a knife, and with one paw swept away the annoying rope, leaving him ready to shoot at the oncoming danger.

The strong man grabbed the rope on the side, a flexible sliding shovel slipped to the chest and abdomen of the giant bear, and the long knife pierced into the soft flesh under the giant bear's neck with all his might, and as the giant bear's body leaned forward, a wound stabbed to the chest of the giant bear, and the hot blood drenched the man under him.

The long-knife man's eyes were covered with blood, and the giant bear was about to tear him apart with a claw in a painful roar, and the two teammates on the periphery immediately struggled to pull the rope that the long-knife man had held before, and pulled it back from the giant bear's claws in time.

Next, the giant bear, whose blood was constantly gushing out, had lost its ability to move, and could no longer struggle with the rope in circles.

The twelve men stood in their respective positions, gasping for breath, and even though the giant bear was already whimpering and lying on the ground, no one took the initiative to step forward.

After waiting for a long time, the messy snow on the ground was stained bright red with bear blood, and the body of the giant bear no longer fluctuated, and only then did someone tighten the rope, and the rope tied the giant bear with five flowers at one end, tied the other end to the waist of five strong men, and the rest of the people were on guard all around.

The group of twelve people finally finished the hunt and dragged the giant bear back.

Tang Xiao saw such a straightforward and bloody hunting behavior for the first time, and was shocked by the shock brought to her by the hunting scene, and at the same time surprised by the agility and tacit cooperation of these twelve people.

They had no aura fluctuations on their bodies, and they were obviously just ordinary people, but they dared to hunt this giant bear that was three people tall, and they had not succeeded in attrition.

Without waiting for Tang Xiao to ask, Bai Buyan led her to follow the direction of the twelve people, and introduced:

"They're a hunting squad of the Jessa.

Winter is coming, and many tribes in the north do not have enough cattle, sheep and food because of frequent migration, and many people will starve to death when the snowstorm comes.

The Jishimeng was founded by the remnants of the Far North in the early years with a knight from the south, with the aim of helping the old and weak tribes in the north survive the snowstorm winters and establish a home without migration.

Of course, after so many years, people have joined them one after another, but they have not yet found a home that does not have to migrate.

After all, it is impossible to go south, and some of the grasslands in the south are the habitat of the barbarian royal court or the big tribes, they tried to negotiate peace, and also launched conquests, but they failed, so they found another mode of survival in the north.

They did not encroach on the rights and resources of others, but traveled from various places to learn advanced techniques such as herding and breeding, hunting and gathering, and while lecturing and enlightening everywhere in the north, treating people and livestock. On the one hand, adventure hunting activities are carried out again and again for people who cannot complete the autumn hunt and stock up on winter supplies.

Interestingly, they don't recruit monks into the alliance, and they themselves are all people with extremely poor spiritual qualifications, who have no chance to practice, help others everywhere, and live like a group of ascetics.

Shi Shi once dealt with them, saying that they had merit in their bodies, and they could try to follow his path and throw themselves into the arms of Buddhism, but they were refused. ”

"Don't they want to practice?"

"If you have the chance, you should think about it! It's a pity that the qualifications are too poor......"

Speaking of this, Bai Buyan looked at his apprentices, well, their qualifications are actually not that bad, so he changed his words:

"Who knows? I've given a few Tsukidan, and it seems like they sold it. ”

Tang Xiao blinked, he couldn't quite understand, in a world where monks were rampant, wouldn't it be more reasonable for them to want to help others, absorb monks, and actively find a path of cultivation?

After thinking about it, these people are all strong and strong, with strong qi and blood, and their strength is obviously greater than that of ordinary people, and they have a feeling of the beginning of martial arts. Not so much, right? At present, at most, the ordinary level of martial arts, there is no external special effect such as the eighteen palms of the dragon.

shook off all kinds of conjectures in his head, and looked at the backs of the twelve people in front of him with satisfaction.

Well, the golden name on the head! You must have many wishes that need to be fulfilled by this Immortal Venerable!

Thinking that this team was only a small handful of the Jishi League, she looked forward to this merit wool group even more, and her little face couldn't help but show a smile that couldn't help but show her mouth from ear to ear.

Bai Buyan saw her smirk and patted her brain:

"The teacher can understand your mood at this moment, but isn't it a little inappropriate for the teacher to laugh when he said that Tsukidan was sold by them."

"Ahh Master, I was wrong.

Let's get to know them! ”

"Well, if you recognize the leader of their generation, you can go directly to him."

"Uh-huh."

The two crossed the hunting procession and quietly walked to a valley, where the snow had been cleared, and there were busy figures everywhere, some were slaughtering prey, some were carrying supplies, some were drying food, some were boiling the contents of a large black pot one person high, and some were repairing tools......

Bai Buyan walked into the valley with Tang Xiao, and did not attract any attention from the surroundings, which made Tang Xiao feel that he had not eaten green oranges.

Walked outside an ordinary wooden house, reached out and knocked on the door.

The one who opened the door was an old woman over sixty years old, and when she saw the moment of Bai Buzhi, she was slightly stunned at first, and then said in surprise:

"White! Mr. White!! ”

At this time, the busy people around the wooden house noticed that the master and apprentice who were obviously dressed differently cast their vigilant and curious glances.

But when he saw the old woman's joy, most of them put back the weapon they had picked up, and went on with their work.

Bai Buyan nodded:

"It's me."

The old woman hurriedly opened the door and invited the two into the house.

"Come in and sit down, and I'll go and warm you two cups of goat's milk."

The old woman shouted into the house:

"Jeeva! Bring out the dried fruit and serve it to the guests! ”

The girl's crisp voice came from the back room:

"Are you here? Good! ”

After a while, a girl in a small leather jacket, with two ponytails, and red cheeks, walked out with a plate full of dried fruits.

The girl first saw Tang Xiao in a splendid winter coat, her eyes were round, and she sighed in her heart that there were such beautiful clothes, and then she saw Tang Xiao's face, ah! Such a good-looking person, sure enough, good-looking clothes must be matched with good-looking people to complement each other!

Resisting the envy that rose in her heart, she looked at the other guest, and then froze in place.

It wasn't until the old woman who came up with goat's milk patted her head that the girl came back to her senses, and put the fruit bowl in front of the two with an embarrassed red face.

Who knew that the old woman didn't save face for her at all, and said directly.

"There are so many girls in the north who want to marry Mr. Bai that you can't imagine, your grandmother and I have proposed to Mr. Bai at the beginning, and in the end, I didn't marry your grandfather."

"Ahh

The little girl was shocked, and immediately understood that this good-looking brother was the white monk mentioned by her grandmother.

If there was no Tang Xiao by her side, the little girl might still be a little unconvinced, but the girl next to her who looked about the same age as herself was so good-looking, there was really no reason to take a fancy to herself.

Not lost for long, the little girl looked at Bai Buzhi curiously.

"Aren't monks old?"

Tang Xiao felt that the disciple should obey him, and took the initiative to answer:

"Yes, it's just that it lives longer than mortals, and aging is naturally slower."

The little girl then looked at Tang Xiao, her eyes full of curiosity:

"Are you all hundreds of years old?"

……

didn't let the two of them wait long, and the old woman called the person who called the girl's grandfather and quickly followed the current alliance leader Jia Zhenghong back to the cabin.

"Mr. Bai!"

Jia Zhenghong, who is over sixty years old and still burly, does not have many wrinkles on his face, but his skin is dark, his hair is all white, his steps are vigorous, his eyes are sharp, and most importantly, the name on his head is shining with golden light, and Tang Xiao's eyes are bent into small crescents.

Seeing this, Bai Buyan didn't greet them too much, directly explaining that the apprentice was coming to help them, and he just sent someone over.

So a few people had a discussion about what Tang Xiao could help.

Bai Buyan took Tang Xiao to have a light meal with a few old acquaintances, and then hid by himself, so as not to affect the apprentice's accumulation of gratitude.

On weekdays, the Jishi League rarely deals with monks, let alone ask monks of unknown origin to help, most of those people eat people and don't spit out bones, but Mr. Bai's apprentices are different.

I think that if it weren't for Mr. Bai, the Jishimeng would have been wiped out by the royal army, not only that, but Mr. Bai also gave them a kind of grain seeds that could be planted in the frozen soil, taught them how to cultivate, and solved the livelihood problems of several tribes.

It was dark early in the north, it was not yet dinner time, it was already dark, many campfires were lit in the camp, and the twelve hunting teams had all returned, and everyone was cooking soup and roasting meat, discussing what other prey to hunt, how much food to stockpile, how many things to send from which tribe, and so on.

Tang Xiao was pulled by the little girl of Jia Zhenghong's family to sit by the biggest bonfire, looking at the lively scene and the golden names, her heart couldn't help but boil.
