Bai Ze

There is another group of people a hundred miles away!

A trace of cold cruelty flashed in Tanlang's eyes.

Why was he able to trace the traces of those two monks?

Hehehe... As Tanlang, a born demon cultivator, his sense of smell is extremely sensitive!

In addition to this journey, the two monks did not hide their whereabouts at all, and they still cooked and ate!

The smell that is left behind is very fragrant, very fragrant, very fragrant.

Although two or three days have passed, the aroma still exists.

Greedy Wolf licked his lips again, if he had a good meal, that monk would leave it for him to be his cook, specially cooking?

Bai Ze didn't know that he had already been treated as a private cook.

When I woke up the next morning, my breakfast was steamed buns with spicy dried sausages, served with hot spicy soup. Side dishes, four fried eggs.

After eating, the two packed up the tent and continued on the road.

"Ahead is the Ice and Snow Town, which is the northernmost place where ordinary humans live. After passing there, it is the territory of monks." Yun Tian pointed to a Hengduan mountain range not far away: "This mountain range blocks the north. blizzard, so the town is at the foot of that mountain."

"Then let's go and have a look." Bai Ze said enthusiastically, "Maybe there are some specialties there? In such cold conditions in the north, it's not easy for a group of mortals to live."

When he was traveling before, he went to the Arctic Village. It is said that it is the place closest to the north. When the winter is the coldest, you can still see the aurora!

I don't know if there is an aurora here.

"Okay." Yun Tian was very kind: "I heard that they have some good mountain products there, you can go and have a look."

Bai Ze nodded, looking at the horizontal mountain range, this mountain range is not too big, a bit like the Daxingan Mountains, but in the cultivation world, such a scale is not considered a big mountain range.

And the mountain is full of pine trees, there is no way, only ordinary cold-resistant trees such as pine, poplar, willow, etc. can grow in such a cold place.

Because the aura here is good, and there are some spiritual plants growing on the mountain.

Among them, first and second-order spirit beasts also exist, but there are more non-spiritual beasts.

Bai Ze saw many birds and beasts running in the heavy snow.

Sure enough, in the middle of the mountain range, there is a recessed place, and there is a small town.

This small town is very large. The most interesting thing is that the walls around the town are very high!

"This is?" Bai Ze found out that this small town is really awesome, with tens of thousands of households, it looks like a bunker.

"They built the wall to prevent wild beasts from going down the mountain to hurt people." Yun Tian said: "This is the last mortal town, and there are also mortals in the surrounding big cities. Every year, several caravans come to the town to do business, otherwise They are so remote, they can't pass the dead door!"

Bai Ze also thought about it: "Then what capacity should we go in?"

"Just... the comprehension merchants. Occasionally, some monks come to settle down and bring them some rare commodities from outside the town. Do we still have salt? Crystal salt, I remember that this is a specialty of the seaside. They only have ice crystal salt from the north here. It belongs to mineral salt, which is different from the seaside salt, I see that when you packed it up, there seemed to be quite a lot of it?"

"Yes, there are five storage bags full of salt, and it's not crystal salt, it's spirit crystal salt, which has spiritual energy. People will definitely not lack anything after eating it!" Bai Ze was immediately happy. However, the natural iodized salt has a strong aura in it. Eating this kind of salt can prolong life for ordinary people.

Back then, when he knew about this kind of spiritual crystal salt, he brought five storage bags of spiritual crystal salt for himself, tens of thousands of catties!

Well, this is the aftermath of the nuclear leak that year. I think he had to eat high-priced salt for a month.

The price of pickled vegetables has increased accordingly...

"Then sell them some." Yun Tiandao: "I remember a disciple in the sect who was born in this small town, and I often heard him mention that the people here only go out three or five times in their lives, and they still go to Bingcheng , Xuecheng and Hancheng, even if they have seen the world, they will not go further south."

"why?"

"Because I feel that the south is too hot, uncomfortable, and I can't breathe because of the heat."

White Pond:"……!"

When they arrived at the place, they didn't land directly at the entrance of the town, but walked over after landing in the distance. Bai Ze was dressed like an old customer: he had a big bag on his shoulder, which was his cat. Bag, with his small bundle in his hand, wearing big cotton boots on his feet, a bit bloated, all woolen clothes, and a big cloak, all made of fox fur.

Wearing a hat, the small face was covered so much that the eyes could hardly be seen.

The scarf around the neck submerges the chin even more, so you can see the panting nose, but you can't see the mouth.

Yuntian was much simpler, just a bearskin cloak, once put on, he immediately looked like the hero in "Snow Mountain Flying Fox".

Bai Ze chuckled and put a black tiger fur hat on his head, while his was made of white fox fur.

"Look, black and white double evil!" Yun Tian and Bai Ze's hats are of the same style, they both have a small tug on their heads and a fur tail tied behind them.

Shaking his head, he looked childish.

"Is this the name of both of us?" Yun Tian looked at the round and fluffy little knob on Bai Ze's head, it looked cute no matter what, but when he thought that he was wearing such a thing, he felt a little bad.

He grew up so big, he has always been insulated from the word "cute".

"Is it?" Bai Ze got everything ready, and took out a snow sledge: "I made this thing in the Zongmen. I wanted to let the flying horses run when I wanted to play in the river below the mountain, but where we It’s snowing, but the river doesn’t freeze, I made this snow sledge for nothing, luckily I didn’t throw it away, I kept it all the time, and I’m using it now, wow ha ha ha... I really admire my foresight.”

Just pinched his waist and laughed wildly for a while, then he heard Yun Tianyouyou remind him: "You have a snow sledge, do you have something to pull? How about you draw a magic circle?"

For monks, this is trivial.

But for Bai Ze, it was not like that.

Think about it, a snow sledge, with nothing in front of it, just gallops in the snow by itself... How do you look at it, how "supernatural" it is.

And that didn't quite fit the bill either.

"Go and catch a living animal that pulls a cart!" Bai Ze immediately calmed down: "It doesn't have to be too good, just any wild animal, the one with a bit more strength."

"I think there is a kind of snow tiger in the mountains, which is more suitable for pulling sledges, just wait." Yun Tian acted immediately, turned around and burrowed into the mountains.

He is a sword cultivator, with great skills and high cultivation, and soon picked out a male snow tiger, the whole body is snow white with some black lines, the word "King" on the forehead is very clear, the hair is thick, and the body is thick. Tall and strong, he looks like a strong laborer.

Yuntian released a little bit of coercion, and the snow tiger surrendered. It already had a little intelligence, and Yuntian didn't treat it badly. He fed it a tonic pill, and it became more obedient than a dog.

Bringing this guy back, Bai Ze has already finished the reins, the sheath for pulling the cart, and so on.

He was delighted to see this robust snow tiger: "Is this the King Tiger? How big is it?"

Like a horse, and more majestic than a horse.

"It's only a little bit of intelligence, so it's a spirit beast, right?" Yuntian doesn't know how to set up a car, but Bai Ze knows how to do it. Seeing that this tiger is clean and mighty, Bai Ze fed another elixir, and the tiger looks more like a tiger. dog.

Putting on the car, there was no need to rush, and he ran directly to the ice and snow town by himself.

The city wall of Ice and Snow Town is built with a kind of black stone, which is a specialty of this area. The stone will not rot for thousands of years, and it can be used for a long time after being built. More than ten generations of people don't have to worry about the city wall.

The entrance and exit are one on the south side and one on the north side, and neither the east nor the west are open.

The avenue in the middle of the town has only a slight curvature. There are shops, restaurants, restaurants, restaurants, wine shops on both sides of the main street, as well as grocery stores, cloth shops, etc. It is not just a business, but There are many, for example, there are three grocery stores, five cloth shops, and so on.

It is in the middle position that there is the Immortal Residence.

This is the location chosen for the monks in the town, the most prosperous location, and the fairy house built.

The gate of the town is made of iron wood produced on the mountain, which can prevent wild animals from entering the town. In addition, there is a watchtower at the gate of the town, just like Tamu Town. It is not high, but you can see The situation outside the town walls.

Seeing someone approaching, he took a closer look. The tiger was pulling a snow sledge, and immediately sounded the alarm.

The mayor came over to take a look, and immediately asked someone to open the door: "Welcome two monks to Ice and Snow Town."

The mayor was dressed like a bear, except that he was wearing fox fur, a dog fur hat, and large cotton boots wrapped in warm rabbit fur.

The other people are basically dressed like this, with big cotton jackets and cotton trousers. Compared with the mayor of Tamu Town whom I have seen before, Sha Sanbao's clothes are so cool, and the people here are quite tightly wrapped.

"Hello, mayor, we are comprehension businessmen. We pass by here and want to rest here for the night." Bai Ze pointed to the dozen or so bags he put on the sledge: "This is spiritual crystal salt from the sea. Look, I can sell you some if you want."

"Thank you, monk, please come in, please come in!" The mayor's originally warm smile became three points thicker: "Come on, hurry up and light the fire for the fairy house, it's hot."

"Hey!" The other side agreed, and immediately someone ran to Shenxianju to stand in front of it.

Bai Ze and the others got off the sledge and walked in together with the mayor. Although this was slow, it gave enough time to those who stood in front. It is estimated that they should tidy up when they arrive at Shenxianju.

The mayor is a very talkative person. He is a man in his 50s and [-]s. Don't look at his whole body wrapped in all kinds of furs. It is to keep out the cold. His strong body has a posture that can crack tigers and leopards.

In the world of comprehension, even the mayors and village chiefs of mortals need some strength.

"This spiritual crystal salt is a spiritual object used by monks and adults?" The mayor's eyes always drifted to the snow sledge.

"Yes, salt with a bit of aura, mortals can prolong their life if they eat it." Bai Ze regarded himself as a salt dealer: "And eating salt from the seaside will not cause a big neck problem."

The world of comprehension also has this kind of problem, but ordinary people can get it, monks can't.

"Really? That's great." After the mayor was happy, he became a little worried: "I don't know how to sell this spirit crystal salt, two monks? The town is remote, and there are not many spirit stones. Gold and silver things , presumably the two of you don't like it either."

The coins of mortals are generally gold and silver, and the change is only copper plates.

They do have some monk coins like spirit stones, but most of them are ordinary spirit stones. If there are one or two middle-grade spirit stones, they are hidden like family heirlooms. Who would be willing to spend them?

What's more, it is not used to buy some panacea to save lives, but to buy salt to eat?

"No spirit stones, no gold and silver." Bai Ze said, "I want to barter with everyone."

"My lord monk, we don't have any treasures here!" The mayor told Bai Ze immediately after hearing this, "The most expensive thing here is not as valuable as the snow tiger that you pull the snow sledge, really!"

You can't fool the monk, it will cost you money.

The life of the people in the ice and snow town is good, but there is absolutely no treasure that can be exchanged with the monks.

"I don't want baby either." Bai Ze laughed, "I want some dried fruit that everyone collected on the mountain, mushrooms and the like, don't need to have aura, ordinary ones, just what everyone likes to eat, there is also some dried rabbit pheasant Anything like that is fine."

"That's it!" The mayor heaved a sigh of relief: "You want dried wild fruits on the mountain. There are quite a lot of them. They are collected in the mountains during the autumn harvest, and they are eaten as chews in winter. A kind of blue plum that is a specialty of our mountain. It is rare outside. It is said to be a kind of spiritual fruit. The caravan, they are also cultivators, and the prices they give are not bad..."

There are not only blue dried plums, but also orange-red dried lantern fruits and snow-white snow fruits.

As well as pickles made by Granny Grass, the most delicious pickles in the town; Mrs. Liu's fried oil cakes; the buns from Uncle Xu's bun shop are one of the dry foods that are purchased in large quantities every time a caravan comes.

Just as they were talking, they arrived at Shenxianju.

The Immortal Residence here is a two-story building built of black stones. The first floor is the living room, alchemy room and storage room.

There are eighteen bedrooms on the second floor, and the corridor is wide enough to pass a carriage.

It was already very hot, and there was a fireplace on the wall of the house, and now that the fire was burning, the whole Immortal Residence became hot.

Bai Ze glanced at the fireplace: "This is a heating device, as long as you put a red flame stone in it, it can keep burning and heating without making the room cold. What about the red flame stone?"

"Please forgive me, my lord monk. Our place is small, and there are not many lord monks who come and go. I haven't seen one in ten or eight years. The red flame stone has long been used up, so I can only burn some firewood." The mayor hurriedly Explanation: "But don't worry, this firewood is made of the best rosin wood, and it has a clear fragrance when it burns."

Rosin wood is generally used for furniture, because it prevents insects!

But, for the monks and lords, it can't be ordinary firewood. This kind of rosin wood is the most suitable. Not to mention the fire, it also has a fragrance, the fragrance of pine wood.

The leftovers of the furniture are still used, and the carpenter retouched them. Each of them looks like a uniformly made wooden stick, which is easy to burn and resistant to burning, with a beautiful shape and a fragrance.

"Don't be so troublesome." Bai Ze took out a box made of jade. The box was divided into nine grids, and each grid contained a red flame stone. This is the box he used to hold "firewood". The mayor said: "You can keep this. When monks come to settle down in the future, you can put a red flame stone in the fireplace. The monks have engraved formations in the fireplace. As long as the red flame stone is activated, the fire can be stopped." It’s warm enough for us to talk, but ordinary monks are not like this, and burning firewood is a bit of a waste of this formation.”

"Yes, yes!" The mayor was also a little embarrassed. A monk has the dignity of a monk. You can live in the same house as an ordinary person. Even the inside is the same. It doesn't reflect the specialness of the monks. If you are tall, you will not be afraid of the cold and heat, but you have to show the posture you should have.

The mayor obviously didn't put on a good posture, which is why there were few monks received.

Look at the mayor Sha Sanbao, he is very good at handling things, it was Kuang's Bai Ze and the others who destroyed the Wuniang building for him.

It can also protect the precious water veins in Tamu Town, leaving Qin Shuang and the others to take root there. It can be said that no one will dare to bully Tamu Town in the future.

"Okay, everyone go back, starting tomorrow, if you want spirit crystal salt, you can exchange it at the gate of Shenxianju. Remember, I only want your family's special products, not expensive things." Bai Ze waved his hand. , everyone was cleared out, and the snow tiger was placed in the living room on the first floor, including their snow sledge.

Bai Ze rewarded Xue Hu with a piece of red sandalwood beef leg to eat, and he and Yun Tian sat on the balcony on the second floor, enjoying their dinner while admiring the night scenery of the town: dry pot beef, served with Ling rice, and a plate of green cold salad Spirit vegetables.

A large bowl of Zhutan Beef Soup for one person.

"It's quite comfortable here!" Bai Ze could already smell the smell in the air. These people started cooking dinner. Many of them ate meat, and two of them turned out to be stewed sauerkraut. I'll ask about it tomorrow, sauerkraut How did you sell it?

The sauerkraut pickled by himself tastes good too, but it is not as smokey as the ones pickled by these mortals.

"The remoteness of the place also has its benefits." Yun Tian looked at the sky: "I haven't seen any stars today, so it might snow tomorrow."

This is the bad thing about the Northland. In winter, every day is drowsy. The sky rarely sees the sun. Most of the time, there is a layer of dark clouds, or it is snowing.

"Is it snowing?" Bai Ze looked at the sky outside, it was indeed pitch black, and he couldn't see a single star: "The wind and snow are quite heavy."

When the two of them rested in the ice and snow town, they had already tracked down the place where Bai Ze used to fish.

Because of the snow, Greedy Wolf sniffed for a long time before confirming: "They have stayed here, and they have stayed here for at least one day!"

"I dug up some fish bones from the snowdrift by the lake, they left them after eating." Boss Hu pointed to the lake and said, "But no trace of the fire was found."

Never, eat it raw?

"It's probably cooked on the boat. The lake is so big here, it's not frozen. If you want to cook it cooked, you need to light a fire on the boat and cook it." Tanlang said: "They stayed here for a long time. Even snow can't hide their smell."
