Chapter 10: Man and Horse Talk
"This one has no conscience, it's a shame that my daughter is so good to him......"
Watching the young man get into the black umbrella and walk away side by side with the handsome girl, Jade muttered a few times.
The hot water in the pot in the noodle shop is boiling, and the white air is wafting. The gap in the curtain that had been lifted gradually closed, leaving only a few white fingerprints.
"Don't gnaw on this rotten persimmon when it's cold, I'll cook you a few hot eggs when I go back, six ripe, the yolk is oily, absolutely fragrant ......"
The girl's body was full of energy, and from time to time she pretended to inadvertently rub him with a soft shoulder.
Although the beauty is on the side, there is no longer too much excitement. After all, he's not a hairy boy anymore......
If it was when he was young, he was favored by beauties, and Zhou Sheng had already fallen under the pomegranate skirt.
However, he didn't have such a calm and relaxed temperament back then, so he naturally couldn't attract beautiful girls. The girls who brought a fragrant breeze on the street would not be in favor of a poor scholar.
It's good to return to your hometown as a companion of youth, but now that you have come out, can you still return to your hometown?
......
......
The snow on the street was knee-high and crunched when stepped on.
Zhou Sheng sighed lightly, he knew the thoughts of the girl next to him. On this snowy day, who would want to leave the warm house if it weren't for the fact that they had come to walk this part with him.
The frozen persimmon in his hand is very heavy, and in his concept, the real power is the mind. He has studied the heart for many years and knows the weight of the heart. Just like this persimmon, in his eyes, it is also priceless.
......
Wu's house is not far away, and it takes a few turns to arrive.
As soon as he entered the door, Zhou Sheng dusted the snowflakes on his shoulders. casually said, "You go back to the house." Let people see that there is gossip again~~"
After speaking, he wrapped the padded jacket on his body. From the hallway back to the side courtyard.
"This nerd!!"
The girl stomped her foot a few times, shaking off the snow from her boots.
......
......
There is a good horse in the side yard, and the manger where he lives is very warm, with a hay floor, a roof on it, and a thick yellow clay wall around it, which can keep out the wind, snow and scorching sun.
The maroon horse was wearing a padded jacket, revealing only the horse's head and fart/thighs. As well as hooves. Even the four legs of the horses were wrapped in cotton wool.
Usually not tethered, this is the beloved horse of Wu Yun, the young lady of the Wu family.
Obviously, this horse's hooves are thick and the body is streamlined, and if you run dozens of laps a day and eat something delicious, how can it not be a good horse?
A horse that has not been on the battlefield is not a murderous horse.
Of course, this jujube red horse has never been on the battlefield, and this place is a desert, so it is a luxury to be able to go out and walk around a few times at will. can only run wild in the aggrieved city lanes.
The horse smelled Zhou Sheng's breath. Sticking the horse's head out of the stable, tongue licking his cheek. It's wet, it's hot.
Touched the horse's head, added a dozen raw eggs to the feeding pot, the yolks were picked out, and only the whites were eaten. There was a handful of raw beans sprinkled in it, and the last thing was fresh grass, which is difficult to get in a desert city.
......
Jujube red horse feasting.
Zhou Sheng put his arms around the horse's neck and began to tell his feelings. Say whatever comes to mind. He doesn't have to worry too much about a horse.
Take a few sips of spirits from time to time to warm up your stomach. Now that I've been sitting on ice and snow for a long time, my arms and legs are often frozen.
Footsteps were heard, and a group of energetic young men and women walked through the door.
The first person was a young girl, wearing thin clothes in heavy snow, with strong qi and blood, a strong and soft body, and good martial arts. Her boots are inlaid with pearls and jade pendants, and the hairpin on her head is also made of strange wooden hearts, which has the effect of stabilizing and nourishing the mind.
A pair of white pink fists can break a small tree with the thick mouth of a bowl.
This is Wu Yun, Xiwu, who worships a lot of masters, and plays with a red-haired tassel gun.
Most of the young men and women behind him were slightly flattering.
The Wu family is one of the few big families in Wucheng, they started by doing business, and there are many martial arts practitioners in the family, and this Wu Yun is the only heir of the twenty-third generation of the Wu family, and will inherit the entire Wu family's property in the future. If you can get into it, you will definitely enjoy wealth and beauty.
However, this Wu Yun is quite high-spirited, and he can't look down on ordinary handsomeness.
......
......
"Yes, Da Hong has been very healthy for the past two days......"
Looking at her beloved horse, the eldest lady was very satisfied.
"It is a good horse, and this horse has a spirit in both eyes, which is a sign of wisdom, and it is said that a really good horse can understand human speech and be in harmony with his master. I don't think this horse is far off......"
A young man slapped his ass and talked nonsense to the horses lazily eating grass. How can the jujube red horse have spirit in the cold weather?
When these people walked away, Zhou Sheng combed the mane of the jujube red horse and tickled it.
"It's really that people are not as good as horses, and this ordinary person lives like a mayfly, and he doesn't know how to cultivate himself, and he can't be foolish and educated. But this is a mortal, mortals have all kinds of shortcomings, and if they are too perfect, they will not be like humans. Is my mortal heart also a broken heart?"
The horse neighed a few times, as if in agreement with his words. Although this horse does not understand what his human friends are saying all day long.
It arched its basin with its big head, sharing its food with friends.
Zhou Sheng smiled, knowing that it was full. He took some hay from the side room, and prepared to make its nest thicker. Don't freeze on this cold day.
......
......
Instead of going back to his room, he lay down in the stable, wrapped in hay and fell asleep with the horses.
Jujube Red Horse often kicks when he sleeps, but fortunately, his body is different from ordinary people, although he has long since dispersed his cultivation, but the essence of life cannot be dispersed.
The horse's head rested on his big / legs, and he woke up with one foot, and his thighs were really numb. The brothers are also at ease chatting here.
In addition to being afraid of trimming the horse's hooves, the jujube red horse is not afraid of anything else.
When Zhou Sheng pinched it to repair the horse's hooves, he always made a neighing sound like killing a pig. Bend one of the horse's legs and gently pull it around with a thin knife. The skin, which was as thin as a piece of paper, was ripped off.
......
There is more and more snow in Chudi. Someone finally realized that something was not right. This is certainly not normal snow. When things go wrong, there must be demons.
The big portal in Wucheng paid a lot of money and invited an immortal master from the outside to prepare to subdue demons and eliminate demons.
The so-called immortal master is just a person who knows a few surgical methods. Not to mention entering the Xuan Realm, I didn't even touch the hair of the Xuan Realm. It's better than ordinary people, and it can see through some things.
This immortal master was a great monk who carried a string of prayer beads on his wrist, each bead the size of a dragon's eye. Rounded and smooth. It is quite amazing to be able to fly in mid-air and slash through the rays of light.
Of course, the great monk was not uninterested in money, he was an ascetic. trekking through mountains and rivers, just to understand the legendary fairy gate.
When he thought about it for a long time, he found the source of the demon.
Finding a place deep in the desert, nearly a hundred young men with shovels began to dig. The further down you go, the harder the soil becomes. At its peak, it was already frozen ground. It can only be ascetics who go out and dig with their own ordination swords.
This knife is sharp. There was already a hint of charm, and with a gentle stroke, the iron-hard soil was cut into a large piece like tofu.
......
......
Miss Wu rode a horse and looked at the cold air in the big pit that had been dug out, and her interest soared. In this kind of place, there will definitely be strange things born in heaven and earth, which will be of great use to a person like her.
"Master, dig quickly~~"
is just such a good kung fu, this Miss Wu has already worshiped this great monk as a teacher. Fortunately, he is only a registered disciple, and he does not need to become a nun.
The white mist filled the air, and the ascetic's complexion was a little ugly. But now, it has to be dug down, and it can't be blocked.
"Miss, let's go, it feels so scary here......"
Cui Yi pulled the sleeve of the woman on the horse, and her little face was frozen white.
"What are you afraid of, there are so many people, even if there are monsters, it's okay!"
......
......
Zhou Sheng stood there, but no one could see him. Obviously, he had already dispersed all his cultivation and become a mortal, but as long as he was unwilling, no one could influence him in the slightest. This is the heart. At this moment, he had a new understanding of the mortal mind.
Mortal heart is not to make you a real mortal, but to maintain a mortal heart. Look at all kinds of things with the eyes of a mortal and empathize, so that you can more easily experience that feeling.
Looking at the bottom of the pit, he shook his head and smiled, it seems that the things in this are not something that these three-legged cats in front of him can handle.
......
When the last layer of dirt was dug up, a snow-white object resembled a sea urchin with white thorns on it.
The infinite chill emanated from its body.
This is the hatchling of a snow demon. Once you grow, you can transform into a real snow demon, a big demon in the snow. They can control the wind and snow, and where the wind and snow fall, they are the absolute controllers. If you get angry, you will start a heavy snowfall and cover the world with ice and snow.
As soon as the soil on the snow demon hatchling was dug up, a sharp cry was immediately released, and the eardrums of the young strong men were bleeding.
The ascetic ran the Buddhist method, and the eighteen prayer beads turned into eighteen long rainbows, attacking the snow demon hatchlings.
The rosary is manipulated by telekinesis, and its trajectory is elusive. If it were an ordinary person, it would be easily beaten through the body and hit a bowl-sized bloody mouth.
The thorns on the snow demon hatchlings exploded, like hedgehogs, and the thorns knocked the rosary away, piercing both of the ascetic's palms, and freezing in an instant.
......
......
"Seal!"
Zhou Sheng thought about it, and with the mental strength in the dark, he sealed the snow demon juvenile body in his hand, and only listened to the little guy's terrible scream.
Everyone saw this terrifying thing floating in the air, constantly struggling, and they knew that someone had made a move, and hurriedly thanked them.
"I'm going to stew you again......"
Zhou Sheng threatened fiercely, and the snow demon hatchling shuddered and regained its composure.
Waving his hand into his sleeve, everything is calm.
......
......
The next day, Zhou Sheng had a snow-white squirrel on his shoulder, but his eyes were a little strange. It was the hatchling of the snow demon that looked like a sea urchin. It was sealed by Zhou Sheng, so naturally it couldn't make waves, and the snow began to melt slowly, and the dry riverbed also turned into a shallow stream because of the melting snow.
Although the water is quickly evaporated by the heat, it still delights the creatures of the desert.
All of Zhou Sheng's cultivation and all his energy were constantly suppressed into that great heart. Perhaps, when he realizes the mortal heart, it will be the time when he will completely become one with this heart and become the king of the artifact himself.
Who will be his opponent then?
He is not prepared to use the king of artifacts as a weapon, after all, weapons are foreign objects, and he is ready to become the king of artifacts himself, which is both a weapon and a living being. At that point, the essence of life has transcended everything, it can be a wisp of fresh wind, a drop of rain, or more likely just a piece of data.
However, the King of Artifacts transcended everything, he thought about it and thought about it, and found that even if he cultivated to a mortal heart, he would not be able to refine this big guy into himself, after all, this was a part of the limbs of a powerful emperor who could turn into a Heavenly Continent, and it was a huge amethyst mixed with the power of a doom.
This crystal also has a name, the Imperial Crystal. An ordinary piece is very rare, let alone such a large piece.
So it can only be assimilated slowly.
His seven doppelgangers have long been cultivating separately, but in terms of progress, only the fire element clones who are far away in the Snail Continent are fast in cultivation, after all, in the Grant ship, there is no shortage of all kinds of treasures. And once the resources are replenished, you can find a suitable place for tempering. Those dangerous places and the like are not called for nothing.
After the completion of the seven doppelgangers, even if it only condenses one leyline within the Heavenly Continent, it is also a creation. Can be prepared to house the king of artifacts at the last of the day.
This leyline is the veins of Tianzhou, and now it is mosquitoes eating elephants, it is difficult!
As for this king of artifacts, it is equivalent to a small half of Tianzhou, and it is even more difficult to eat it!
Only after completely smelting the King of Artifacts would Zhou Sheng set off for Yuanzhou, where there was still an Immortal Court ready to deal with him. Although he didn't know, what the Immortal Emperor saw, why did he want to destroy him!
......
Now all his power is blocked in this heart, and the immortal spirit cyclone in it is constantly increasing, and there are already tens of billions of them, but there is still no feeling of breaking through the Xuan Realm. And there is no sign of promotion in the essence of life, and everything still needs time to hone the foundation.
Just wait for a promotion, and immediately sweep everything.
At the bottom of his heart was still the Black God Heavenly Monarch, who couldn't lift his head under the pressure of just the purple statue, but now that he had more dragonfly wings, he didn't have the day to turn over, so he didn't worry about him running out to make trouble.
......
After straightening out these, Zhou Sheng was in the mood to live a stable life in Wucheng.
The next day, when he went to a noodle restaurant to eat noodles, Fei Lan looked at the squirrel on his shoulder, and immediately found the topic and wanted to reach out and touch it.
The snow demon hatchling roared bitterly, and the lazy squirrel opened its mouth, revealing the snow-white teeth that were as sharp as knives inside, the squirrel's teeth were too long, and it could definitely bite off a person's fingers, and the frightened girl hurriedly retracted her hand.
Zhou Sheng slapped this snow demon fiercely, this guy just underwhelmed.
"Xiaolan, why are you down there today, Aunt Jade?"
Zhou Sheng likes to eat noodles, but if the high temperature returns to the desert, there will be no noodles to eat, so he keeps what he has on his shoulders, and once the snow melts, the snow demon larvae will fall heavily again. Many years later, this strange place, known as the Desert of Ice, is still being talked about.
The girl's face showed a hint of loneliness, and she whispered: "A-Niang went to find my uncle, saying that she was going to find me a mother-in-law's house, and I am not too young, so it's time to get married......"
"Oh~~"
The smile on Zhou Sheng's face was a little stiff, and he rubbed his hands, the snow outside was still very thick, and there were still snowflakes in the sky, but it was not as big as before.
Blowing a breath of hot air into the palm of his hand, he asked lightly: "But if you want to find a good family, I don't know which one Lu Dao has chosen?"
"Big brother laughed, I'm like this, it's good to have serious people willing to ask for it. It's the Li family ...... at Chengkou."
"Li family?" Zhou Sheng frowned slightly, the Li family seemed to have only one heir, but I heard that there was a little ...... (To be continued......)
