Chapter 99 Snow Night

  The snowy night without moon, the cold wind howling, like a mountain ghost whimpering in the dark mountains.

  There was a big hole in the roof of the dilapidated house in the mountain village, and the snowflakes fell little by little.

  Xu Yuan was sitting on a blanket, wearing a dark brown mink fur, and was fiddling with a half-foot-high black porcelain pot in his hand.

  Inside the porcelain jar is his and Ran Qingmo’s supper tonight.

  A flamingo that has been chopped into pieces.

  This bird was brought back by Ran Qingmo yesterday. Although it is small in size, its strength is not weak.

  With Xu Yuan’s current strength, there are probably ten of him who are no match for this little bird that is less than half a foot long.

  However, this does not affect its ability to be used as a good ingredient.

  Accompanied by the clinking of bottles and jars, Xu Yuan took out all kinds of condiments from the Sumeru ring and added them to the black jar one by one. Stew and develop over high heat.

  The fresh meat of the white flamingo is firm, and only in this way can it be marinated and delicious, and it is easy to roast.

  After finishing all this, Xu Yuan got up and went outside to wash his hands with white snow, then immediately retracted into the blanket and sat down.

  The winter of the twelfth lunar month is really cold.

  Although they have stepped into practice, they are all mortals below the fourth rank.

  He kind of missed the original Yan Lingye.

  Although it has an aphrodisiac effect, it is first-class for dispelling cold.

   Fortunately, there are Xumi rings to hold various items. In addition to the bonfire, there is also a stove with a pattern of gathering flames in this dilapidated house.

   It took a long time to wait for the stewing and marinating. Gradually, Xu Yuan, who was looking at the abandoned mountain village covered by snow outside, gradually lost his mind.

   After collecting the bones for the old man surnamed ghost, after building the tomb and erecting a monument, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo went north to search for the secret place.

  It took one and a half months to finally reach the Guanyin Mountains where the secret realm is located.

   Then a very serious question was placed in front of them.

  Cannot find the entrance to the secret realm.

  The Guanyin Mountains are only composed of twelve small maps in Cangyuan, but in reality they stretch for thousands of miles from west to east, and the highest mountain can reach more than 3,000 feet.

   Xu Yuan actually expected this.

  It was easy to find the cave in the Wanxing Mountains at the beginning, because the Tianmen Mountain’s hanging sky was very recognizable, and these secret places hidden in the mountains were naturally not so easy.

  Through the information of his previous life, Xu Yuan can roughly determine that the entrance to the secret realm is in the northwest of the Guanyin Mountain Range, and there is a river left from the top of the mountain beside it.

   For the rest, Xu Yuan originally intended to use Ran Qingmo’s ridiculously high fortune and his tyrannical cultivation to find out.

   Along the river, Xu Yuan and Ran Qingmo found the village that had been abandoned for a long time.

  then

   Then half a month passed.

  Ran Qingmo does gain something every day when he goes out.

  Every night, this big ice dumpling will bring back some “souvenirs”.

  Either it is Breitling grass, some precious ores, or some precious monsters that can be used as medicinal food.

  Ouhuang’s bloodline is well-deserved, but the problem is that Xiangguo Mansion has all these things, and what he wants is the secret method in that secret realm.

  With that secret method, he can practice automatically 24 hours a day.

  Thinking, Xu Yuan sighed and restrained his thoughts.

   Calculate the time, she should be back soon.

  While stewing the marinated flamingo, while waiting for Ran Qingmo to come back, time passed quietly.

   About two quarters of an hour, there was a sudden rustling outside the house.

   “Crack——”

   “Crack——”

   is the crisp creaking sound of boots stepping on the snow.

  Hearing the sound, Xu Yuan smiled slightly, but then frowned again.

  Because there are more than one footsteps on the snow.

  This big ice dumpling, he picked up a living person today, right?

   While thinking,

  A strange female voice sounded, very young, even a little immature:

   “Hey, Wood, why did you stop? It’s snowing so hard tonight, go in and hide from the snow.”

   Then a male voice sounded outside the house:

   “There are people inside.”

   “What’s wrong with someone, the only house in this Li family village is still in good condition, Senior Brother Qi and most of them spend the night here.” The young woman didn’t care.

   “If there is someone, you have to get his consent first.” The man said.

  “.”

  The woman was silent for a moment, with a tentative tone: “Well, he disagrees, where are you going to live tonight?”

  The man pondered for a while, and replied aloud: “There is a cave ten miles ahead.”

   “Ten miles?!”

  The woman’s voice rose slightly: “Go to you, I don’t want to go anyway, such a heavy snow”

  The voice of the young woman approached the broken house while speaking.

  Silent for a second,

  The woman sounded a little embarrassed and annoyed: “Li Erzhu, why are you dragging me!”

  Li Erzhu said stubbornly:

  ”It must be approved by him first.”

   After a while of pulling, the woman seemed to be unable to break free, and angrily directed at the flickering fire in the room, and said loudly:

   “Hey, people inside, don’t pretend to be dead, this wood speaks so loudly, you should have heard it?”

  “.”

  Well, it probably wasn’t picked up by Dabing Tuozi.

  But Xu Yuan didn’t speak out immediately.

  Listening to the conversation between the two, it seems that this place is quite familiar.

  Being able to walk mountain roads in this kind of snowy night should also be a cultivator, and his cultivation base will not be weak.

   Slightly pondering, Xu Yuan said slowly:

   “Come in.”

  The voice came out, Li Erzhu immediately let go of the woman’s wrist, and replied:

   “Thank you.”

  The creaking sound of stepping on the snow sounded again, and two figures appeared outside the door.

  Xu Yuan also saw their faces clearly.

  The man was dressed in a clear blue single-clothes, with a sword and a bulging cloth bag on his back. He was about in his early twenties, with an ordinary face and an honest look.

  The woman was dressed in a red dress similar to a cheongsam, wearing a thick fur coat, and also carrying a sword. Her eyebrows and eyes looked extremely young and pure, but the cheongsam on her body was very large.

  After entering the house, I slapped the snow and made a seductive shake.

  Xu Yuan stared at the two of them, his soul popped out slightly, and immediately he felt a little guilty.

  In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he didn’t intend to deeply investigate the cultivation of the two of them, but simply checked the fluctuations of the surrounding source energy. Come on man, I’m going to fuck you.”

  But this check is a bit abnormal.

  This woman is very normal, she exudes the breath of running exercises to keep out the cold, and her cultivation base should be similar to him.

  But this man is a bit weird, he only wears a single shirt in such a cold day, and he doesn’t have any source energy fluctuations for running exercises to keep out the cold.

  Is it the fusion environment?

   Only by blending in can you not be afraid of the severe cold and heat, just like Ran Qingmo.

  After embarking on the journey, Xu Yuan encountered many things.

  Travelers who stayed in the middle of the night, refugees who migrated and fled, and even encountered bandits with Ran Qingmo who blocked the road in the middle of the night.

  But this is the first time Xu Yuan met a high-level cultivator after leaving Jingjiang Mansion.

  The 20-year-old fourth-grade fusion body should be a genius of a certain sect, and there seems to be a Vientiane sect near the Guanyin Mountain Range.

   While Xu Yuan was looking at the two of them, the two were also looking at Xu Yuan.

  There is a little surprise in the woman’s eyes.

  Li Erzhu’s eyes were full of vigilance.

  The scene in front of me is very strange.

  The house is half dilapidated and half luxurious.

  The bright pattern lamp on the wall, the tiger skin blanket covering almost half of the floor, exuding the incense of green smoke, the tea tray and precious porcelain cup made of mahogany, and the futon sitting on it Two people on the board.

  Lijia Village has been slaughtered for ten years,

  It is very strange to see such luxurious room furnishings in this deserted village.

  Li Erzhu moved a step sideways to block the woman behind him, then grabbed the hilt of the sword behind his back, stared at Xu Yuan in silence for two seconds,

   said:

   “Are you a human?”

  “.”

  Quiet and count breaths,

  Xu Yuan raised his finger and pointed at himself, with a strange look in his eyes:

   “Do you suspect that I am a ghost?”

  Even if Ran Qingmo is not here, Xu Yuan is not too panicked, after all, he has his grandfather with him.

  Although the old man has been secluded in the soul ring most of the time since Ghost Mist and his entourage, only occasionally would he suddenly come out to say a few words.

  But he is indeed there.

  Li Erzhu nodded: “Yes.”

  Xu Yuan: “Why?”

   “You can’t hold so many things on your body.” Li Erzhu held the sword in his backhand, his eyes were very serious: “It’s hard to tell the truth from the fake in the illusion of high-level ghosts.”

   “.” Xu Yuan.

   “Li Erzhu, you are the ghost!”

  The woman in cheongsam poked her head out from behind Li Erzhu to look, then pushed the man from behind, and scolded softly: “Put the sword away, he is Xumijie!”

  Li Erzhu glanced at the cheongsam woman with some doubts in his eyes:

   “Xu Mijie?”

  “.”

  The cheongsam woman rolled her eyes, ignored Li Erzhu, spared him and walked a few meters in front of Xu Yuan, clasped her fists sassyly, and said:

   “Wanxiangzong, Zhou Xiaohe.

   “I was rude just now, son, don’t blame me, my senior is dull by nature.”

  Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows, some information flashed in his mind, he smiled and waved at random:

   “It’s okay, it’s always good to be careful when you go out.”

   paused, and added:

   “Tingfeng Tower, Zhou Chen.”

  Old Aunt Lou Ji’s Tingfeng Building has a good reputation as an intelligence organization and is mysterious.

  A look of surprise flashed in Zhou Xiaohe’s eyes when he heard the words, and then he smiled generously and said:

   “It’s a coincidence that the son is still from the same family.”

  Xu Yuan took out two futons from the Sumeru Ring and handed them to the other side with Yuan Qi, saying:

  ”It’s really a coincidence. I also live in this house, so I won’t be an entertainer. You two can find a place to sit.”

  When Zhou Xiaohe saw the futon that appeared out of thin air, she turned her beautiful black eyes and thanked:

   “Traveling all the way, if it weren’t for the young master, my senior brother and I might not even have a place to sit here. Thank you very much, young master.”

  Xu Yuan didn’t intend to continue talking.

  This woman can recognize Xu Mijie, and her surname is Zhou, so she should have some relationship with the Vientiane Sect Master. Currently, he and Ran Qingmo are looking for a secret realm on their territory, so it is not suitable for a deep friendship.

  Zhou Xiaohe’s beautiful eyes twinkled when she saw this, but she didn’t say too much rashly, and cupped her fists:

   “Then my senior brother and I will disturb the young master and Lingmei tonight.”

  “.”

  Xu Yuan was taken aback for a moment.

  Lingmei?

  Ran Qingmo rushed back just now?

  I was thinking,

  Zhou Xiaohe’s beautiful eyes curved, she smiled and waved behind him:

   “Little sister, you are so cute~”

   I have something to do at home today, I will update it temporarily, and I will make it up tomorrow
