Chapter 16: Immortals and Immortals (2)
Earlier, Liu Yiwen thought that the extreme north was just colder, and he could handle it. After going through this journey of more than ten days, I realized that I was very wrong!
He was already wearing heavy warm clothes and carrying a large bag of dry food, and it was really difficult and miserable to move in this knee-deep snow.
In the past, if there was anything to be thrown into the jade gourd, there was no pain in carrying weight, but now I can feel the difficulty. He seemed to have returned to the situation when he received the goods from Master Ruan at the Grinding Sword Peak.
Tan Biao carried more weight than he did - carrying a thick tarpaulin and simple luggage. After all, the two of them still need a good night's rest at night, and they have the strength to hurry during the day. However, he is also a master in the rivers and lakes, but he is much easier than Liu Yiwen.
He looked up at the sky and gestured to the right. Liu Yiwen understood and knew that he was telling himself that it was getting late, and he was going to find a place to spend the night on the right.
An hour later, Tan Biao found a shelter from the wind, dug a depression downward, spread some branches, tidied them up a little, and then put on a tarpaulin, so that a temporary resting place was ready.
The two of them gathered some birch branches, built a bonfire next to them, and sat around to keep warm. Along the way, they lived in caves and set up tents, and with Tan Biao's understanding of the snow, they haven't encountered much trouble for the time being.
After eating some dry food and drinking some water, Tan Biao said: "The peak I saw today is called Snow God Peak, which means the territory of the gods, and it is also where the sect of Xianyin Temple is located. At our current pace, it is estimated that it will take another three days to arrive. How's it going, are you okay?"
Liu Yiwen rubbed his hands, nodded and said, "Don't worry, I can hold it." During this period of time, the two shared weal and woe, chatted heart-to-heart, and the relationship was much better than before. And the distinction between immortals and mortals seems to have disappeared invisibly.
The young man in front of him was indeed worthy of admiration, and he was glad that he was saved that day. Liu Yiwen suddenly asked, "In the Great Desert that day, why didn't you insist on killing those three people without being afraid of angering me?"
Tan Biao said calmly: "Actually, I hesitated for a moment, but those horse thieves burned, killed, and plundered, and did all kinds of evil, so they really deserved to be killed." Especially the evil leader Yan San is simply a crime that deserves death!" mentioned Yan San, he still gritted his teeth, which showed that he hated this group of horse thieves!
Then he smiled bitterly: "These people are cruel and hard-handed, although they are notorious, they can't do anything about them." Such a good opportunity, I will exchange one for three, not a loss!" After that, he took a sip of the wine in his skin, and his pride suddenly grew.
His words were firm and indomitable, which made Liu Yiwen admire in his heart.
The weather is cold, and drinking some wine can not only smooth the qi and blood, but also help sleep, Liu Yiwen also took it and drank it. Although the taste is not as good as what you brew, it is better than nothing.
The two talked about tea again, and then fell asleep.
This way to the north, when Liu Yiwen has nothing to do at night, he always has to think about some mortal problems. Since stepping into the path of cultivating immortals, he has rarely considered this aspect.
Are mortals really just ants? Compared to mortals, what is the nobility of immortal cultivators? Is it just that they have great mana?
The world is proud to have stepped into the immortal path, is it just for the feeling of living in a high place and being worshipped?
Liu Yiwen looked at Tan Biao, who was already asleep, and was in a trance: What would he look like if he was a mortal?
The next morning, the two of them continued on their way.
It had snowed last night, and the campfire behind them had been buried, erasing the traces of their visit, as if to announce the eternal silence of the northern kingdom.
The two of them each held a branch and walked towards the Snow God Peak. The snow seems to be deeper, and the surrounding woods are becoming sparser. As it got higher and higher, Liu Yiwen already felt that his breathing was a little difficult.
Suddenly, Tan Biao, who was walking in front, stopped, he was stunned for a moment, and found a white shadow jumping on the snow. It seems that this is why it has stopped!
The white shadow flickered left and right, and in a moment it stopped five or six feet away from them.
Liu Yiwen took a closer look, and it turned out to be a snow fox with a length of a few feet. Its whole body is as white as jade, and it is not afraid of the cold. But if you look closely, it is a little different from ordinary snow foxes, after it stopped, a thick blue mist ignited around its body, and a pair of beast eyes looked at them vigilantly.
Liu Yiwen's pupils shrank, as if he remembered something, and exclaimed, "Blue Jade Fox!"
It turned out that this fox was not an ordinary beast, but a rare spirit beast. Back then, there was a beast soul in the Qingfeng Temple, which was auctioned off as the finale. I was able to see it myself, so I recognized it at a glance.
He was frightened in his heart, and hurriedly came to Tan Biao's side, and said in a deep voice: "Brother Tan, don't act rashly, this fox is not small, but it is a spirit beast." ”
The blue jade fox's eyes rolled wildly, and he whined a few times in his mouth. The two of them stood on the spot and did not move, only praying that the beast would leave soon.
However, it seemed to be quite interested in the two people in front of it, and the two of them turned into a white shadow and scurried around Liu and Tan from a distance.
Liu Yiwen's back was cold, as if he was being targeted by a fierce beast. Although the spirit beast was not as bloodthirsty as a demon beast, there was no guarantee that it would not harm the two of them, so now his heart was pounding.
Tan Biao didn't understand what the spirit beast was, the snow fox in front of him looked a little cute, but he was much calmer.
Just when Liu Yiwen was worried, a sweet voice sounded in his ears, like a heavenly sound.
"Cher, don't make trouble, be careful to scare them!"
Suddenly, a stunning girl in a long white dress appeared in front of the two. This woman has a flying bun, beautiful eyebrows, and a carved hosta horizontally into the bun, which is more fresh and refined. Dressed in a long white skirt, but there are occasionally a few red plums on the belt, which is elegant and dusty.
Just look at its clothes, appearing in this extremely cold place, needless to say, it must be a person who cultivates immortals!
The blue jade fox seemed to understand her words, and rushed into the girl's arms. The girl seemed to be very fond of the fox, and kept petting it.
The girl just looked at the blue jade fox in her arms, and said without raising her head: "What are you doing here?
Liu Yiwen was stunned for a moment, and said solemnly: "This fellow Daoist, may I ask you are a monk of the Xianyin Temple?"
The girl was stunned, raised her head and said, "What do you call me?"
Liu Yiwen arched his hand and said: "Under Liu Yiwen, he is a disciple of the Imperial Sword Villa!"
Only then did the girl put down the blue jade fox in her arms and looked at him, and said suspiciously: "What? You are a disciple of the Imperial Sword Villa, how can you be no different from a mortal?"
Liu Yiwen was about to reply, but Tan Biao opened his mouth at this time.
