By the Wuding River, next to the nameless monument, a young man in a green shirt, with a cui rui sword on his back and a wine gourd on his waist, was deliberately left in the bamboo house by Xie Yufeng when he left.

Li Zijin took it upon himself to take the wine gourd with him.

He didn't wear the gilded robe that he had stripped off when he escaped from Wuding City with Su Hu, and he still liked the green shirt.

There was no wine in the wine gourd, so he scooped a gourd of river water from the Wuding River, circled around the nameless monument, and sprinkled the water of the Wuding River on the ground.

After worshipping Chen Siyuan and the disciples of Wuding Sect with river water instead of wine, Li Zijin left Wuding Mountain.

All the way north.

Along the Wuding River, the Wuding River is from south to north, all the way down, so Li Zijin this way, in fact, is quite easy.

That night, the boy did not catch a fish from the river, and almost thought that he would have to spend the night hungry, but he did not expect that the mountains and rivers were exhausted, and the willows and flowers were bright and another village, and he was stunned to find a hare in the bushes.

Good guy, that hare is not ordinary fat, now it is Li Zijin, who is already a sword cultivator in the Second Realm, and he feels heavy when he carries that hare, just grabbing its two ears, and lifting it from the bushes to the cave not far away, it makes the young man so tired that his hands are sore, and he rubs it for a long time before he seals his throat with a sword, and then it is extremely time-consuming to peel the skin.

It is not easy to make a hare into a roast rabbit, and Li Zijin has not tried much, but on the way to escape from Taiping County to Daxuan Capital, he has seen Wufu Song Jingshan toss it like this a few times.

At that time, Lu Zhixing and Li Huairen actually still had a lot of silver on them, but a few of them would take the official road except for the necessary place to go to Daxuan Capital, and Song Jingshan chose some mountain trails most of the time, for safety reasons, in order to avoid people's eyes.

So the four of them at that time were really rich and had nowhere to spend, and they were hungry.

Hare, pheasant, wild boar such mountain treasures, is hard to find, not through every mountain can be touched, even if you meet, want to catch them, then you have to work hard, Song Jingshan was not a martial artist in the early years, he had learned the skills of patrolling the mountains and hunting with an old man who lived in the mountains and forests all the year round, and was still familiar with some simple traps, such as rope nets, barbs and other objects that capture mountain treasures. In addition, he learned to brake with a static hand, which Wufu called guarding the plant and waiting for the rabbit, focusing on observing the footprints of the hare and the location of the haunt, in fact, there are traces to follow.

And after catching a hare, it can't be directly roasted on the shelf, so it has to be handled carefully.

At that time, when Song Jingshan beheaded the rabbit and skinned the rabbit, Li Huairen said that it was too bloody for him to accept, and he didn't eat the poor rabbit if he was killed.

As a result, the last hand held a roast rabbit leg, and added a lot of dry tea, and ate it with relish, and I didn't remember what I said before.

The cave was full of firewood prepared by the boy before catching the hares, and Li Zijin set them together and set up a bonfire.

It was autumn in the world, and the night was actually very cold, so the boy put his hands on the bonfire to warm up. Qi refiners in the world, their physical bodies are already weaker than martial arts, even if they are sword cultivators, in fact, their physique alone is not much stronger than ordinary monks, and sword cultivation is only a branch of qi refiners after all.

If you want to truly reach the point where your body is not afraid of the cold and the heat, you need to cultivate at least the Jindan realm, which can cover the skin and flesh with the spiritual power of the sea, acting as a layer of spiritual power quilt, or a close-fitting jade dress that relieves the heat.

This is also the reason why Su Hu, who had fallen from the Eight Realms Yuan Ying to the Six Realms Refining God Realm in a row, had to hug Li Zijin for warmth in the northern desert of the Yan Kingdom, when the temperature difference between day and night was extremely large.

The Six Realms refining gods still can't resist the cold and heat.

Li Zijin did not take it down until he roasted the poor hare until it tasted a little burnt, and the two rabbit legs did not need to be said, the meat on the legs was tender and easy to eat, and the boy planned to start with the two rabbit legs.

In the past, on the way when the four of them fled together, everyone would always give the two rabbit legs to Li Huairen, the young master of the county guard, to eat, even the Miss Lu Zhixing, who was also from a scholarly family and did not touch the spring water with her ten fingers, was not as hypocritical as Li Huairen at this point.

"Rabbit legs really taste the best. "Li Zijin takes a bite, fresh and fragrant, a little burnt fragrance will not make people feel greasy, but some plus points, the heat is well controlled, if it is a moment later, the rabbit meat will be old, and it will be baked earlier.

It was pouring rain outside the cave, adding a bit of chill to Wuding Mountain, Li Zijin leaned into the cave, but unfortunately he couldn't move in, behind him was the rock wall, the cave here was actually quite small, at most the two of them could hide from the rain.

A rabbit leg had just been gnawed, and just as the boy was about to pick up another rabbit leg and feast on it, an uninvited guest appeared outside the cave.

It's a young girl.

Her face was pale and bloodless, she was dressed in a bright red dress, and she had a colorful crown in her hand, but strangely it was not wet by the rain.

The girl asked coldly, her voice a little erratic, "May I come in?"

Li Zijin was startled at first, thinking that he had hit a ghost? After all, this girl, no matter how she looks at it, how unreasonable is it.

After hesitating for a moment, he nodded slightly, mumbled, and let the girl in the long red dress walk into the cave.

The girl sat across from Li Zijin, looking at the raging flames.

Looking at it from Li Zijin's angle, he thought that the girl was looking at the other rabbit leg in his hand, he gently raised the rabbit leg and asked tentatively, "Do you want to eat it?"

The girl shook her head.

In the night, it was actually difficult for the boy to see the other person's face clearly, but it seemed that the closer the girl got to the campfire, the more blurred her face became, which was strange.

Still keeping an eye on it, he took off the emerald sword behind him and placed it on his knees quietly.

Li Zijin sat cross-legged, but the girl was kneeling on the ground, and the colored crown was placed on the rock wall bulge beside her, and she seemed to care about this.

She looked at the campfire, and he looked at her, and he didn't speak, and was silent for a long time. In the end, Li Zijin was the first to break the silence and asked with a smile: "Where is the girl from, how can she appear here, and ······?"

She smiled, a little infiltrating, and helped the boy say what he didn't say, "Do you want to say it, and dress so strangely?"

Li Zijin shook his head, pointed to the colorful crown, and said regretfully: "I want to say, it's a pity that the girl's clothes are so good-looking, and it's so dirty here." ”

The fire became smaller, and she said for no reason: "Can you please go and collect two more firewoods?" I haven't spoken to anyone for a long time, and I want to talk more. ”

Li Zijin was stunned, didn't understand the meaning of the girl in red, just nodded, casually put the rabbit leg on a banana leaf at his feet, got up and left the cave, went to pick up a few firewood for the girl in red and came back, and didn't forget to bring the Cuiyuan Sword with him when he left.

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, he didn't dare to run far, so he could only collect firewood around the cave, and after a while, when Li Zijin returned to the cave with a large bundle of firewood in his arms, the bonfire was about to go out, and he saw the girl in red, huddled in a ball, hiding in the corner, holding the colorful crown, her body looked a little stiff.

Maybe it's too cold, the boy thought.

Afraid that the girl would catch a cold, Li Zijin moved quickly, and filled the bonfire in the cave with firewood after dividing it by two, and the fire was strong again.

She smiled, and this time, Li Zijin saw her face clearly.

What a beautiful girl.

However, he immediately shook his head, feeling that no matter how beautiful the girl in red was in front of him, she was still inferior to the other girl. In the young man's heart, the girls in the world are not as beautiful as that girl.

As if warmed up, she had the strength to speak.

The girl in red never squinted, her eyes looked straight at the bonfire, and she smiled, "You just asked me where I am from and why I am here." ”

Li Zijin nodded, sat back in place, and kept a safe distance from her.

"Then I'll tell you about it. But what you want to hear, I don't have to say it!" The girl in red smiled, as if she could sit in a cave with a young man who met Pingshui, even if it was just him listening to himself tell a story, it made her find it extremely interesting.

The young man was puzzled, and put the Cuirui sword on the ground casually, "Okay, I want to hear it, you can say it." ”

She moved slightly towards the campfire.

"Actually, I don't want to stay in this cave all the time. In the past, I have walked through many mountains and rivers, and I have accompanied him all over the entire Canggeng Prefecture. She looked so happy, her makeup glowing with blood in the firelight, not as pale as it had been when she first entered the cave.

Li Zijin asked, "What do you mean by him?"

The girl in red thought for a while, but couldn't find the answer in her mind, but asked, "Between you humans, men and women have lived together for decades, what is it?"

This can make the young man upside down, could it be that the girl in red refers to her husband when she speaks? It looks like she is seventeen or eighteen years old, and it doesn't look like she has lived for decades, could it be that she is a monk in the realm of earth immortals, so she can keep her face unchanged and always maintain her youth?

In that case, why is her husband, or a Taoist couple, not by his wife's side?

Li Zijin said: "Count it as a husband and wife, or a Taoist couple." ”

The girl didn't refute, just nodded and said, "Got it." ”

She continued: "The one who accompanies me... Taoist couple, I have traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Canggeng Prefecture, and this cave is the last place I walked with him. I can't count how many years······"

Li Zijin shrank back sharply, hitting the rock wall behind him, his head touching the wall, and he was in pain.

The girl in red covered her mouth and chuckled.
