Chapter 42: An Unexpected Visitor
"Enough salt and spices for one person for half a year. Cangming said.
"Do you want these bacon in exchange?" asked the middle-aged team leader.
"Don't you take bacon, if you don't, I'll go and get the furs of the beasts." Cangming said.
"That's the best, you know that we don't usually eat outside food when we drive caravans, sorry. The middle-aged man was extremely polite.
"Then please wait a moment. Cangming jumped and walked towards the temple at a very fast speed.
At this time, he already had the internal strength of a second-rate martial artist, and this walk directly frightened the people who were chasing the merchants.
"Head, why are you so polite to him, this person has already committed a taboo by occupying the road to inquire about the goods. The young man was very dissatisfied with the scolding of the middle-aged leader.
"Can you take a look at this when you ask?" said the middle-aged man.
At this time, the young man noticed the speed of Cangming.
Speechless for a moment.
"Hmph! This is your first time in business, I won't say much about you, don't make your own decisions next time, even if you are a relative of the master, I will not be merciful, I will definitely follow the rules, you know. The middle-aged man said.
"Got Captain Wu. The young man bowed his head.
Seeing this situation, the leader surnamed Wu touched his beard with satisfaction, and after a while, Cangming got a few sun-dried tiger skins, the tiger fur is fresh and moist, it is a good fur, and there is no wound on the fur, it is very smooth.
"Good thing, just this piece of fur is too much more than salt and spices, does Xiaoyou want anything?" asked Captain Wu.
"It would have been nice to have weapons and clothes, and some books. Cangming said.
"These things are worth a lot of money, and you can't exchange a tiger skin. Captain Wu said.
"Please wait. Cangming made a light effort and rushed again.
Anyway, it wasn't very far, and in more than two minutes, Cangming got all the tiger skins over.
"There are five tiger skins in total, all of them are of the highest quality. Cangming said.
"That's enough, little friend, wait a minute. There was an iron weapon, a few packets of spices, a packet of salt, and a packet of rice.
"Please check it, if Xiaoyou thinks it's feasible, we have made a deal this time. The middle-aged man surnamed Wu said.
"Very well, that's all I want. Cangming didn't go to bargain, it was enough for him.
The transaction was completed, and the middle-aged man packed his belongings and continued on his way.
Cangming didn't continue to look at them.
After returning to the temple, Cangming continued to cultivate.
Time flies, autumn goes to the east, and the earth is already covered in silver, which can be described as thousands of miles of ice and snow.
The winter in this world is several times colder than that of Blue Star, and the length of winter is extremely long.
At this moment, everything is silent, even if it is Cangming, I feel a trace of loneliness.
"Perhaps, chasing the path of immortality, this tone is the norm. ”
Cangming shook his head, closed the door, and continued to immerse himself in cultivation.
At this time, the temple has been expanded a lot by Cangming, and a second floor has been built, Cangming is to live upstairs, and at the same time, there is a side upstairs that is used to drink tea, as for the kitchen, Cangming built a small kitchen at the back of the temple.
These things are built, but it takes a lot of energy.
Today, Cangming was not in the mood to cultivate, so he turned out a magazine, which Cangming had exchanged with the merchant before, and he had already finished reading some of the magazines.
Now he is no longer the newcomer who has just arrived here and doesn't know anything.
These magazines gave him a glimpse of the world.
There are many countries in this world, and weirdness is rampant, and the more uninhabited the place, the easier it is to breed weirdness, and weirdness also has multiple levels, as for how to divide it, the magazine didn't mention it at all.
Just persuade mortals to retreat, ordinary martial artists will be killed and injured when encountered, only martial artists who have ignited the soul fire can have a chance of winning against weirdness.
As for what is igniting the soul fire, it is said that after the cultivation reaches a certain level, the flesh and blood of the body are used to ignite the soul in the body, so that the soul is in a state of "burning", that is, the soul fire is ignited.
The length of time it takes to ignite the soul fire is determined by the strength of the warrior's flesh and soul and soul.
Through the magazine, Cangming knew that this world majored in soul fire and physical body, and minored in internal force, because internal force is much weaker to deal with weirdness.
The general weirdness is divided into virtual bodies and entities, and it's easy to say that the martial artist is weird to deal with the entity, but if it is to deal with the virtual body, it's very difficult. Those who ignite the soul fire can use their own flesh and blood to ignite the soul fire, infuse it into the weapon, and deal a fatal blow to the weird.
In fact, from another angle, it can be explained clearly, one is a physical attack, and the other is a magical attack.
Magical attacks involve souls and spiritual powers.
Although True Qi can harm the soul, the effect is several times worse than igniting the soul fire, and the True Qi internal force in this world is extremely difficult to cultivate, and it takes too much time to cultivate the internal force.
And cultivating one's own blood qi and igniting the soul fire is much simpler.
Although Cangming has read it many times, he still sighed with great emotion: "The world and the world's cultivation system are very surprised, and the rules are very different, it seems that I have to find a way to find a secret book for igniting the soul fire cultivation, but it will have to wait until after this winter." ”
At this time, the heavy snow covers the mountain, and it is extremely dangerous to travel, and if there is a large avalanche, people may be buried alive by the heavy snow.
If you don't have a congenital situation, you can't do it, and it's impossible to fight against nature.
Heavy snow is also very risky.
Under many conditions, Cangming decided to wait until after the end of winter.
Cangming continued to retreat and cultivate.
......
"Senior sister, how long will it take to reach the Mirror Country, if we go on like this, we will not be caught up by the evil spirit, and we will be frozen to death in this ice and snow first. The young girl's face turned pale.
"Soon, after holding on for a while, we will be able to reach the mirror country, junior sister must insist, we can't give up, the sect will count on us." "The woman who spoke was bigger.
Both are very young and extremely good-looking.
They were not originally from the Mirror Country, and the reason why they went to the Mirror Country was because the Hundred Flowers Sect where they belonged was attacked by an evil organization, and the sect suffered heavy casualties, and they came out to ask for help.
"Senior sister, you see there is a family in front of you. When the little girl saw this, she cried out happily.
"There really is a family, but in this barren mountain and wilderness, how can I feel wrong. The woman hesitated.
"Sister, let's go over and take a look, there are so many evils in this world, I'm almost too hungry to walk. The little girl prayed.
"Okay, let's go check it out. The woman thought that in their state, if there were people in front of them, and they would go in and ask for some food and hot water, they would still be able to make it alive.
If you don't go in, this kind of ice and snow, can you just eat the roots of the tree and walk to the mirror country alive? If you go in, you may have a way to live, but if you don't go in, you will definitely die.
Thinking of this, the woman no longer hesitated, took the little girl's hand, and walked towards the temple.
Cangming, who was cultivating, opened his eyes, and he felt footsteps not far away.
"Hey, there's still a living person? And it's a woman. Cangming felt a little strange.
But he doesn't think that the other party is evil, in broad daylight, the human form walking on the road is evil, and it is impossible to think about it.
