Chapter 70: Encountering the Mountain Temple Again

Ji Chen returned along the original route and returned to the place where the caravan had stayed before dawn.

But the caravan had already left, and Ji Chen's horse was tied in the jungle with some hay piled next to it.

It seemed that the caravan was still afraid of Ji Chen and did not take his horse with them, and even left enough hay.

But the horse looked a little listless. It was estimated that the caravan left early and the horse had been tied for some time. In such cold weather, it was a little bit unable to bear it.

Ji Chen stretched out his hand and pressed it on the horse's back, passing a stream of innate true qi into its body, and the horse's listless look gradually eased.

A stream of innate true qi was a great opportunity for the horse.

After thinking about it, Ji Chen passed another stream of true qi and began to walk in his body according to the practice route of the Dragon Subduing Heart Method.

After a few laps, Ji Chen stopped, and the innate true qi slowly ran in the horse's body.

Since it is an opportunity, then make it stronger.

The Dragon-Subduing Heart Method, the first heart method Ji Chen practiced, the body is like a real dragon.

I wonder if the horse will evolve into a dragon horse after practicing this method.

After doing it, even Ji Chen himself felt a little incredible that he actually wanted to teach a horse to practice.

"The first time I taught you to practice was the Dragon-Subduing Heart Method, and you are all black, so I will call you Black Dragon from now on, and I hope you can evolve into a dragon."

Then, Ji Chen put away the pile of fodder, rode on the horse, and followed the traces left by the caravan.

He really didn't know the road of Liangzhou Prefecture, and whether this world had navigation, so he could only follow the footprints of the caravan.

Fortunately, it didn't snow in the past two days, and the footprints of the caravan could still be seen.

...

Two days later, Ji Chen found himself lost.

The reason was that it snowed, and the blizzard covered the marks left by the caravan.

Ji Chen braved the blizzard and walked aimlessly.

However, he discovered a surprising phenomenon, the black dragon under his crotch was actively running the Dragon-Subduing Heart Method.

The weather was cold, perhaps the black dragon discovered that practicing the Dragon Subduing Heart Method could get rid of the cold and fatigue.

Perhaps it didn't know what it was, but as long as it could stop it from being cold and tired, it would instinctively drive itself to practice.

In any case, it was on the path of cultivation, and in this originally bad weather, it finally had a chance to survive.

The world is like a sea of ​​suffering, and all living things are like duckweed. You and I are all struggling to cross, and so are horses. In this world where gods and ghosts are everywhere, human life is like grass, let alone horses!

If you don't fight, you will die!

Ji Chen walked forward for two days in the wind and snow, and a mountain temple appeared in Ji Chen's eyes in the distance, and there seemed to be a sound coming from inside.

Ji Chen got off the horse, and the boots made of unicorn skin stepped on the snow, making a "crunching" sound.

After two days of walking, there was no village in front and no shop behind. He came across a temple by chance, and Ji Chen planned to go in to rest.

One person does not enter the temple, two people do not look into the well, and three people do not hug the tree. This is an old saying, and it is also a good saying.

Although with Ji Chen's current physique, it would not be a problem to use the heavy snow as a bed and the wind and snow as a blanket. But Ji Chen still walked towards the mountain temple.

He didn't know the way, especially in the windy and snowy weather, he needed a guide.

The wind and snow were whistling, flying all over the sky under the sweeping wind. In the mountain temple, a cluster of bonfires were burning, and a tripod pot was placed on the bonfire. The thick broth in the pot was bubbling and steaming.

There were more than a dozen men sitting around the bonfire, wearing uniform gray cloaks, animal fur felt hats, and single knives were placed aside.

One of them cut the dried meat with a dagger and threw it into the pot. The rich meat aroma filled the air, which greatly increased people's appetite.

This is a group of traveling merchants, trapped in the mountain temple by the wind and snow.

"This damn weather, if the wind and snow don't stop, we are afraid that we will not be able to catch up with the Lantern Festival"

Some people complained that the Lantern Festival is one of the most important festivals in Daxia, especially the Lantern Festival, which is worth seeing. It only happens once a year, and it would be a pity to miss it.

"I don't think you're thinking about the Lantern Festival, you're thinking about the girls on the flower boats."

Someone else joked that they were all a bunch of rough men, and what was there to see in the elegant activities of the Lantern Festival? At most, the young ladies and young ladies of wealthy families were worth seeing.

Most of the rough men went to the Lantern Festival for this reason.

Especially some women in the boudoir, who had been grudged for a long time and were used to eating fine grains, and occasionally wanted to try coarse grains to change their taste. The Lantern Festival was a good choice.

Of course, not everyone could encounter such an opportunity, and most of the rough men's goals were flower boats.

After a trip of business, everyone was so bored that they were waiting to go on the flower boats to make a big splash.

"I heard that there is a snow girl in the brothel this year, and she will get married on the Lantern Festival. I wonder who has the chance to win."

"Even if there is, it is not something you and I can afford! Don't dream about this kind of beautiful dream during the day."

"Not necessarily. We brothers can also get a hundred or eighty taels of silver. If we can't burn the first incense, we can still have the second pot pork. When the time comes, we will take turns, you have a cup of tea, I have a cup of tea."

Immediately, a man was not convinced, "Whoever has a cup of tea is a grandson, I will at least have one stick of incense."

"Don't brag, we are not outsiders, and everyone has done a lot of craftsmanship. One cup of tea is already pretty good."

When men gather together, the topic of conversation is naturally inseparable from women.

Just as women are together, every sentence is about men.

Just as everyone was talking, the "crunching" sound of snow being trampled came faintly from outside the temple.

The faces of the men beside the bonfire all changed. The next moment, they separated instantly. Some even rolled on the ground, grabbed the single sword placed beside them, and pulled it out directly, with the tips of the swords pointed at the door.

They were all long-term merchants walking in the desert, and they were on the edge of a knife. They were still talking loudly in the last second, and they were in combat mode in the next second.

At this time, in this weather, in this place, the person who can appear outside the mountain temple is not an ordinary person.

The sound of snow being trampled was getting closer and closer, and finally stopped outside the door of the mountain temple.

The next second, the bolt broke with a "click", the temple door opened, and the strong wind blew the snow in, and the bonfire roared and tilted.

A young man in brocade and blue shirt appeared at the door in the wind and snow.

He was holding a horse with his left hand and a fat hare with his right hand. There was a long strip of cloth wrapped around his waist. It was not very clear, but it should be a sword.

"Excuse me, it's freezing cold, can I borrow a fire?" The young man flicked the snow off his body and said.

The rules of the underworld are first come first served. If someone occupies a sheltered place, the latecomer must ask for the consent of the first comer before entering.

In fact, with Ji Chen's strength, it is not necessary to do so. What a bullshit first come first served. Justice is under the fist, and truth is under the blade.

But Ji Chen didn't know the way. These traveling merchants obviously knew him. If he needed help, his attitude would naturally be correct.

"Where are you from?" someone asked.

"North!" Ji Chen answered.

"Where are you going?" the man asked again.

"South!" Ji Chen answered again.
