Chapter 473 Stealing Chickens Makes Me Happy (Thanks to the Leader of Penguin Sang Oh)

With the snow falling all over the sky, people who hurried down from the mountain opened the door and were swept into a gust of cold wind from outside, so biting.

The man wearing a thick long down jacket jumped several times in front of the heat of the air conditioner, shivered and then breathed a sigh of relief. When he saw the man reading the newspaper in the concierge next to him, he was stunned for a moment: "Brother Hu, are you already here?"

"Get used to getting up early." The man reading the newspaper poured him a cup of hot tea.

Lu Yan trembled, picked up the teacup, and asked, "What's the date today?"

"November twenty-nine," said the newspaper reader.

"Is it already this cold in November?"

Lu Yan took a breath of air.

"Are you just here?" The man reading the newspaper smiled.

"Well, I was assigned here in the fall."

"You will get used to it in the future." He said: "Daiyu Mountain is not a good place for a vacation. It is extremely hot in the summer and extremely cold in the winter. In the spring, insects are everywhere in the mountains, and in the autumn, there is endless work."

"To be honest, before I came here, I thought Daiyu Mountain was like spring all year round."

"Hahaha, those are all lies. There are always people who know that this is an Eastern Xia plantation, and think that the scenery here is beautiful and the climate is pleasant... In fact, it is not the same thing at all. Well, it turns out it is still like this, but Not anymore."

"Why?" Lu Yan asked, looking up at the gray sky outside the window, as if he could see the framework set by the Creator: "Isn't this adjustable?"

"Yes, it was adjusted like this on purpose." Hu Jing put away the newspaper and said, "The old lady likes it."

When it came to the old lady, Lu Yan was speechless.

Who knows that this family is older, has a higher status, and is tougher than anyone else? Even Xuannio doesn't dare to confront her - in front of her, everyone is a junior.

"Teach you to be a good boy." Hu Jing, who was responsible for leading the newcomer Lu Yan, smiled: "The old lady is a bit more extreme. Rather than pretending to be like spring all year round, it is better to show the nature of the four seasons. The former Weeds can only grow in such an environment, and real good materials never care about a little less spring breeze, rain, and dew, do you understand?"

"I understand." Lu Yan nodded.

"Even if you don't understand, you have to pretend to understand. If you don't understand, remember it. There will always be a time when you understand." Hu Jing glanced at his still confused look and picked up the newspaper again: "Let's rest for a while. I'll be busy later." ——I asked you to come down from the shed now, not to sit down and drink tea."

"What's going on?" Lu Yan asked, looking at the heavy snow outside, his face suddenly turned a little green: "It won't be the same as shoveling the snow two days ago, right?"

"Reception." Hu Jing said, "I don't need you in the first place. I think you have quite a lot of time. Why don't you come over and see the world with me? As long as you don't do a little flirting on the Internet, Lao Wang won't ask you to scan it every now and then. Snow."

"Absolutely..."

Lu Yan's face turned green. He didn't know whether he was slandering Lao Wang or complaining about his master. But there’s nothing to say. Where’s the newcomer who didn’t get through it by serving tea and water?

In the future, when the new guy comes, he will do the same thing!

Apart from pulling weeds and planting flowers every day in the mountains, there is only so much fun left.

It was not so much this that made him unhappy, but rather the visitor mentioned by his master.

"The third one this month?"

Lu Yan clicked his tongue: "Why are there so many people recently?"

"It was temporarily blocked."

"Can't the leaders be considerate of the people below who work overtime?" Lu Yan complained angrily, slumping on the sofa with no energy at all.

After all, he has been working here for three or four months, and he still doesn't know who the people who come to Yudai Mountain are.

Except for staff like him who are responsible for maintenance, everyone who comes here is a wool-gatherer, jealous of the precious materials scattered all over the mountains and plains here.

If you want to eat, you can forget about it. If you can’t eat, you have to carry it around.

Even if the advanced abyss planting cannot be touched, the basic materials that Lu Yan and the others are responsible for will be severely hung up. Who makes Yudai Mountain's earth energy so abundant that the disaster plants in the abyss grow here like leeks?

The two ugly guys earlier this month had already annoyed Lu Yan to death.

Regarding his complaints, Hu Jing didn't say anything, he just mentioned something.

"Later, be more respectful. It doesn't matter if it's business. Don't show your face to others."

"Um?"

"These are people from the Astronomical Society," the master said. "The old lady nodded to invite the guests."

Lu Yan didn't care about the former, but Lu Yan was stunned by the latter.

The old lady has lived in seclusion these years. He has only met her once in the long time he has been here in Yudai Mountain, and even now, he feels a little weak when he thinks of the old lady's harsh eyes.

The old lady nodded and invited the guests, which made him feel a little weak just thinking about it.

Sometimes this kind of big shot is more difficult to deal with than the little devil who comes to your door. As long as the latter is dealt with properly, it will be fine. Whether it is good or bad has nothing to do with you.

But for such a high-ranking and powerful person, it may not be of much benefit to serve you well. If you are offended, the future life will be a bit difficult.

"According to Young Master Chu, if he is unwilling to work in the Astronomical Society and comes to the Eastern Xia Genealogy, then he will immediately become a student trained by the old lady..."

Hu Jing originally wanted to say something more, but two car lights suddenly came on in the snow outside the concierge at the foot of the mountain.

A car broke through the wind and snow and arrived here without any warning.

He didn't drive in directly, but stopped far away.

The driver got out of the car, opened the umbrella, and opened the door of the rear compartment. A young man shivering from the cold, still wearing a thin singlet, walked out.

Lu Yan suspected that this guy was wearing a T-shirt under his coat.

When I got off the bus, I didn't stand firm and stumbled a bit.

More importantly... he seems to be younger than himself.

"Just him?" Lu Yan couldn't believe it.

"Yes, it's him."

Hu Jing folded the newspaper, stood up and said seriously: "Don't talk for a while, just stand next to it. Just keep your eyes and ears on, don't keep your mouth on, just watch the fun."

Lu Yan quickly stood up and followed.

Opening the door, a violent storm suddenly rolled up.

The hurricane outside the house seemed to be roaring, and the loud noises were constantly surging, which was shocking. Who would have thought that the abyssal plant park, known as the largest in Eastern Xia, would be such a brutally cold place?

Anyway, Huai Shi could not think of it.

He was shivering now, from the cold.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but blush, and his whole body felt hot, as if he was drunk.

As soon as he walked in here, the mountain ghost's stigmata became more active than ever before.

Under the abundant earth energy and the surge of vitality of countless plants under the wind and snow, the entire mountain ghost's holy mark seemed to be overloaded, falling into an intoxicated state.

On the contrary, it is more uncomfortable than being suppressed.

The former is a collective cold violence, while the latter is an extremely passionate pulling and dragging. A group of extremely enthusiastic aunts and aunts circle around you, curiously asking how old the young man is, whether he is married, has a partner, is working, and is not paid. How much, where do you work, what is your future, when will you plan to buy a house? If it’s too small, it won’t be convenient for your wife to ask for a parking space, are you sure you’re going to get it...

Dizziness, brain swelling, blurred vision.

The local gang was so damn enthusiastic. It had only been two days since he came back from that damn place in Antarctica, and he couldn't stand it.

The deficiency cannot be replenished.

"Mr. Huaishi, these two will take you in next."

The driver struggled to hold up the overturned black umbrella in the strong wind, and shouted loudly next to Huai Shi: "I'm here waiting for you to come out."

"What?" Huai Shi looked over in confusion. The driver yelled again before he realized what he was doing.

I saw a figure stumbling over with a hiking pole in the wind and snow in front of me.

Covered in a down jacket, with a mask on his face, he held a piece of information in his hand, compared it with the trembling young man in front of him, and asked loudly: "Name!"

"Huai Shi, male, seventeen years old... But don't do this to me anymore!" Huai Shi was so angry that he died.

Why the hell do you do this everywhere you go!

Can you get me some clothes quickly?

After the two people confirmed Huai Shi's identity, they turned around and walked inside without saying a word. When passing by the concierge, Huai Shi didn't even enter. Looking at the air conditioner inside, Huai Shi was almost jealous to death.

"Can't you let me drink some hot water?" Huai Shi asked.

"What?!" Hu Jing turned around and asked loudly.

“Hot water!!!”

Huai Shi roared in the roaring cold wind: "Hot water! Heating! It's so cold!!"

“It’s all on the mountain!!!”

Hu Jing replied loudly: "I don't have time for you to rest. The old lady wants to see you! She told you to go up the mountain as soon as you arrive!!!"

After shouting three times, Huai Shi finally heard it clearly.

He almost couldn't feel where his face was.

it's too cold.

But under the surrounding ice and snow, the surging vitality of those plants was extremely abundant, pulling at his stigmata crazily, simply wanting him to be assimilated by these countless crazy vitalities, immediately take root, and stay here forever. .

Huaishi could no longer hold on just to maintain the stability of her internal ecosystem. Not to mention changing to an ecological type that is more adapted to the cold at this time. If he dares to do this, I am afraid that he will be assimilated here immediately after the ecological circle collapses...

Something is wrong.

Totally wrong!

The naturally formed ecology would never have such a terrifying assimilation, nor would it show such an abrupt and fanatical enthusiasm.

Huaishi closed her eyes, and through the ice and snow, she could feel the majestic echo deep in the earth's veins, as well as the roaring rhythm like bells coming from the top of the mountain.

All vitality is under the control of that invisible hand.

Someone is deliberately targeting me!

Huai Shi paused in her steps and looked directly into the eyes of the two guys, almost suspecting that she was being played.

"Who is the old lady?" he asked, "I've never heard of her."

The two people's eyes suddenly looked like they had seen a ghost.

"You came to Yudai Mountain and you don't know who the old lady is?" Hu Jing was also stunned: "My friend, do you have any objections to us?"

If the old lady hadn't nodded personally, he would have almost suspected that Huai Shi wanted to cause trouble.

"You don't know about the contemporary Qing Emperor?"

Hu Jing looked at him as if he had seen a ghost. He really couldn't figure out what this little guy was.

But soon, the phone in his arms rang.

I ran to a corner sheltered from the wind and squatted down to answer the call. Soon, after hanging up the phone, I ran back with a particularly ghostly expression.

Huai Shi felt like she was frozen into a snowman next to the archway at the foot of the mountain road.

At least it's leeward here, so there's no need to shout when talking.

He really couldn't figure out why the contemporary Qing Emperor would give himself eye drops and wear small shoes without even meeting him - he thought, he had never offended such a giant?

But thinking about this, I feel extremely guilty. He has offended too many people. Who knows if some of them are related to the Qing Emperor.

When you are under the roof, what brand of eye drops and what small size of shoes are given to you, can you still take them or wear them?

But at least let yourself understand it, right?

Hu Jing came back with a complicated expression, and looked at Huai Shi with an expression of pity.

"What's wrong?" Huai Shi felt something was wrong.

Hu Jing coughed twice and repeated what he said on the phone: "The old lady said that Chu Hongchen used my things as a favor, but I don't agree."

"Huh?" Huai Shi was stunned.

Why did you change your mind again as promised?

But then, Hu Jing's conversation changed: "If you can go to the top of the mountain and see her face, you can take whatever you want. If you can't even see the old lady in person, please come back." stop."

Huai Shi looked around, feeling that the further inward, the more luxuriant vitality became, a vaguely terrifying ecosystem with incomparable assimilation power.

I couldn't help but sigh: "The old man has such a bad temper."

"Who says it's not the case? That's what the old lady is like, she always says what she says." Hu Jing shook his head and said, "Do you want to go back? I'll see you off."

Huai Shi thought seriously for a long time and suddenly answered.

"Let me try."

If Emperor Qing had rejected Huai Shi's arrival before, Huai Shi might not have continued to entangle him. There are so many plantations. Although it is more troublesome to take the route of the Astronomical Society, it may not be found.

But now that the old man was showing off his carriage and horses in front of him, he was a little more eager to give it a try.

Seeing his serious look, Hu Jing seemed to have expected it. He nodded and pointed in the direction behind: "Then we will go back first."

"etc!"

He had just taken two steps when he heard Huai Shi say: "Leave me a down jacket first...otherwise I will freeze to death here today."

He was stunned for a moment, looked at Huai Shi, and couldn't help but look at the newcomer next to him to see if he was too warm, and then showed a heart-stopping smile.

"Lu Yan, give your down jacket to the guest..."

As a result, Lu Yan's face turned greener and greener.

He knew that nothing good would happen here today!

According to the surveillance footage Hu Jing and Lu Yan saw while drinking tea and blowing off the air conditioner in the concierge, Huai Shi squatted under the archway into the mountain for two hours.

Well, wearing the down jacket I got from Lu Yan, I finally felt a little warmer...

Not moving forward, not moving backward.

It’s as if I’ve made up my mind to live here forever.

In fact, during these two hours, he had been trying to sort out the entangled plant life around him, but the life of Yudai Mountain was simply too rich.

It was like a mess, completely entangled in him, and it was still messy to cut and sort out. Especially the same kind of vitality in the body is also responding to the outside world, trying to continue communication.

For a time, most of the vitality reserves in the body seemed to have been reduced to twenty-five.

There is no way, this is the instinct of the mountain ghost.

If we can't communicate with the inside and outside, how can we regulate the ecology and absorb the earth's energy?

It can be said that this is a trap specially created for mountain ghosts.

If there were other pedigrees or types of stigmata, there would be absolutely no such trouble here, but for Huai Shi, the closer they go to Yudai Mountain, the closer they are to a desperate situation.

Perhaps this was just a casual act of the Qing Emperor, but it left an insurmountable chasm in front of Huai Shi.

A soft nail that has to be touched.

It’s not that I won’t give it to you, but if you can’t even climb the mountain, you won’t be able to get it, right?

He became more and more certain that he must have offended the old lady somewhere. But now the question is, how to solve the difficulties before us?

Until Huai Shileng almost couldn't feel his butt, he didn't think of any solution.

There's no point in thinking too much.

Always try.

Amidst all the overt and covert observations, the young man who had been lingering in front of the mountain gate for a long time got up, jumped up and down, and did a set of radio gymnastics on the spot. After exercising his body, he took a deep breath.

Suddenly he turned around and asked, "Where is the toilet? I need to pee."

"puff!"

Hu Jing, who was in front of the screen, spat out a mouthful of tea.

Lu Yan, who was sprayed in the face as soon as he raised his head, became increasingly resentful.

"Why do you have to turn around and spray me?"

"Ahem, the screen is also very expensive, okay!"

Hu Jing looked away awkwardly.

Soon, after going to the toilet, Huai Shi returned to her original position and took a deep breath again.

Then he took a step forward.

He left a deep footprint in the snow, then another step, a third step, and a fourth step.

As the storm gradually stopped, the clear sound of branches breaking could be heard from under the snow everywhere. After walking a hundred meters, Huaishi froze in place.

The crackling sound is endless.

Huai Shi could not take another step forward. On his exposed fingers, the circles within the fingerprints had turned into a texture like tree rings.

Exactly seventeen and a half laps.

We can't go any further.

The pressure that Yudai Mountain brought to him was so great that the ecological circle in his body could no longer withstand it. If he took a few more steps forward, it would probably completely collapse and then turn into trees unstoppably.

Even if the Qing Emperor is right above his head, it is impossible to let his condition deteriorate like this, but at least he is still in trouble.

——Reckless actions will not work.

It seemed like there was an old voice reminding me this way.

Huai Shi sighed in frustration.

Take a step back, then another step...

Step back, step by step, like a boat against the current, being quickly forced back to the foot of the mountain by invisible pressure.

He was sweating profusely in the cold wind, as if he had run a marathon.

Huai Shi sat down on the ground again, looking at the snow-covered mountains in front of her and the building that vaguely appeared on the top of the mountain.

An insurmountable obstacle.

Huai Shi took a deep breath, sat down again, and began to think.

．

．

"Old lady, are you giving him too much trouble?"

On the top of the mountain, in the snow-covered courtyard, a lonely plum tree grew crookedly, with no flowers growing on its dark branches, only clusters of faint buds.

The old man down the corridor was sitting in a rocking chair with a blanket on his knees, staring quietly at the door. Behind her, a passing woman brought hot tea and put it on a tray: "Isn't this obviously a way to keep people away from you?"

"If the difficulty is higher, how do you know whether it is good material or jade or weeds and rotten wood?" The old man patted the armrest of the rocking chair indifferently, "Didn't you come all the way when you were thirteen years old?"

"It took me a full month." The girl laughed.

She looked like she was in bloom, and her appearance was nothing out of the ordinary, but her fingernails glowed with a faint light green color, as if she had applied nail polish. They looked delicate and conspicuous, making people unable to take their eyes away.

"It took me twenty-nine days to go all the way down the mountain, but I was afraid that I would be angry, so I took half a day to go up the mountain. Do you have the nerve to say that?"

"I just couldn't help but be lazy for a while." The girl waved her hands awkwardly: "How can you, old lady, be so exaggerated?"

"One or two people know how to be lazy."

The old lady rolled her eyes and looked over, scolding her in a solemn voice: "You're out here again, have you finished your homework? How can you be considered a sublimator if you can't even pass the postgraduate entrance examination!"

"Isn't this no different from being an ascendant?"

"Children, please study hard!"

"Okay, okay."

The girl turned around awkwardly and was about to leave, but her steps suddenly stopped. She turned back in surprise and looked in the direction outside the door.

Surprisingly, it came up again?

and……

"interesting."

The old lady narrowed her eyes and laughed softly.

．

．

Huai Shi takes another step forward.

This time, there was no crackling sound.

Instead, the snow beneath his feet began to stir, and without any warning, a clump of green grass sprouted.

The plantain, which had no characteristics or rarity at all, suddenly appeared next to Huai Shi.

Huai Shi was silent for a moment, and raised his brows happily.

He found a way.

Even if it's not the most serious solution.

He stepped forward again and took a step forward. The snow turned over again, and another petunia grew out of Huai Shi's feet again.

Huai Shi whistled, her confidence growing more and more.

This time, he walked forward at a leisurely pace.

With every step you take, a clump of wildflowers and grasses grows beneath your feet.

The path of flowers.

It looks extremely beautiful.

But Huaishi's source of fluctuations began to slowly weaken.

The mountain ghost's stigmata is rapidly fading.

Rather, it was a cut he made intentionally.

For Huaishi, there are two biggest troubles in going up the mountain. The first is the terrifying assimilation of the Yudaishan ecosystem under the conditioning of Qingdi.

On the other hand, there is a large amount of vitality that constantly resonates with it in one's own body.

In particular, Huaishi's capacity is dozens of times that of regular mountain ghosts, and the impact of this external gravity on him is simply terrifying.

The larger your body is, the stronger the gravitational force pulled by the earth's aura of Mount Yudai will be.

According to the conventional solution, Huaishi needs to spend at least a week and keep trying before he can achieve a balance between the internal ecosystem and the external ecosystem, integrate into the local environment, and become a part that they will no longer interfere with.

Come up with skills and answers that satisfy Qing Emperor.

But for Huai Shi... there is obviously another solution.

——Why not take the initiative to reduce the burden?

At this moment, as Huai Shi stepped forward, numerous flowers and plants grew out from under his feet, extending straight upward. Compared with the first time, Huai Shi's speed was extremely slow, as if he was carrying a heavy weight.

But every step he took was steady, like nails driven deeply into the mountain road - the ecological circle in his body was forcibly entering the cycle of Yudai Mountain step by step.

They are clearly distinct from each other.

Even if it looks like there is no leakage, in fact if you squeeze hard, there is still space.

Whenever it becomes difficult to hold on, Huai Shi takes the initiative to cut off some of the vitality in his body, allowing them to break away from himself and be assimilated by the earth's veins in Yudai Mountain.

Anyway, he picked up countless flowers and plants at random, but at this level, even abandoning the car to save the handsome man was not considered.

Huaishi moves forward step by step, feeling happy

There is further joy.

Especially when he had an idea, he turned the plant life that he had voluntarily abandoned into a detecting stick, and began to use this to spy on the laws of the Yudai Mountain cycle.

Under the eyes of Qing Emperor, even after stealing the chicken, it was still not enough.

A certain daring lackey of the Astronomical Society began to secretly learn from it. .

Six thousand words in one.

I'm a little stuck, I'll try to finish the advancement this week~

Also, during the double monthly pass period, please give me a monthly pass! ! !
