Chapter 28 The Good Times Are Here, Enjoy the Present Moment
This year passed slowly with the sound of Chen Xun's furnace blasting. They added the longevity points to the essence of all things, and it was already 1
There was heavy snow in the Ningyun Mountains, covering the earth with silver and white, and the sky and the earth were connected in a line, blurring the border and the horizon.
This year, the Gan Kingdom seemed to be a little turbulent. It was heard that there was a war on the border, and countless righteous men of the country set out on a journey to the border to guard the country.
The snow was all over the sky, and their families vaguely bid farewell. The snow was full of footprints and concerns.
The families of countless righteous men stopped and stayed until dusk.
However, the snow at dusk was deep and deep, as if there were thousands of emotions, and it was as turbulent as the sea, which could drown everything.
But no matter what happened in the mortal world, it seemed that it could not stop the countless casual cultivators from seeking immortality.
The Ascension Conference was opened as usual, and the monk with a cow head did not come again, and was gradually forgotten.
However, a major event happened in the valley. Hundreds of sect cultivators personally went out to arrest those who sold the booklet. Although no one was killed, all their belongings were cleared out.
This booklet has seriously affected the interests of the major immortal sects. Originally, everyone was competing fairly. Now that such a "strategy" has been released, the number of casual cultivators who went to participate in the challenge has increased significantly.
And some good seedlings were also snatched away, and they attributed it to the fault of this booklet, which misled the students.
The ten major immortal sects united to eliminate the disaster. If this happens again, the people involved will die.
In a cave on the outskirts of Ningyun Mountain Range.
Their spiritual medicine seeds have been completely used up, and the alchemy furnace has exploded. Chen Xun also began to think about the next plan.
The big black cow sat aside and ground the medicinal materials. The two cow hooves were extremely powerful. This is the seasoning they usually use for meals.
"Old Cow, let's use up the remaining pills first, and keep the other spiritual medicines."
"Moo."
Big Black Cow called perfunctorily, put the powder into the bottle with his hoof, and continued to grind, his eyes full of seriousness.
Chen Xun carried two water jars with clothes in them, and said with a smile: "Old Cow, are you going to fetch water?"
"Moo~" Big Black Cow called anxiously, and hurriedly arranged the stone mill, and went wherever Chen Xun went.
Big Black Cow directly moved the huge stone outside the cave, and covered it again after Chen Xun went out, and also checked if there were any flaws.
Outside, snowflakes were flying and the cold wind was raging. Chen Xun was only wearing a thin piece of clothing, but he didn't feel any cold.
They walked to a stream and dug ice holes everywhere. Chen Xun held a water jar in one hand to fill water, and Big Black Cow also stood in the middle of the stream with another water jar, very happy.
During this time, because the big black bull was running too much, the ice surface broke and he fell directly into it. He was pulled up by Chen Xun with quick eyes and hands.
After filling the water, they started to sit together to wash clothes. One person and one cow were talking about something and laughing continuously.
Snowflakes were flying all over the sky. They sat in a snow pile several feet deep. It seemed that there were only the young man and the big black bull in the world.
The years were quiet and good, enjoying the present.
Not long after, the sound of some dead branches being stepped on and broken came, with a heavy sound of stepping on snow. Although it was far away, with their current hearing, they had already heard it.
Chen Xun and the big black bull looked at the snow-covered woods. At this time, a large group of people were walking in tattered robes with wooden sticks in their hands.
Their faces were dirty and red from the cold. There were at least hundreds of people, men, women, young and old.
Everyone's face was filled with shock. They were washing clothes in such a heavy snow. A big black cow even sat up, holding clothes and soap nuts on its hooves.
"Old man, are you lost?"
Chen Xun asked casually. They were a group of mortals, and his vigilance was gradually lowered.
The big black cow just glanced at them. There was no danger, so it continued to rub clothes, and mooed from time to time.
"Young man, we are fleeing from Dansong City."
An elderly man staggered over. The young man was a martial artist at first glance. He was strong and healthy, and was not afraid of the cold in such heavy snow.
"Dansong City? It's so far away, how can we get to the other side of Ningyun Mountains?"
Chen Xun was surprised. He had heard of Dansong City, which was close to Panning City, but the journey was long. "Are you going to Panning City?"
"Yes, yes." The old man nodded. It seemed that they were about to arrive, and his eyes were happy.
"Old man, what happened? How dare you cross the Ningyun Mountains, which are so dangerous?"
"Young man, you are wrong. We are on the periphery and taking a detour."
The old man shook his head and sighed deeply. "Now the country is in turmoil, the army is everywhere, and there are bandits making trouble. The mayor of Dansong City has been killed."
"Ah?"
Chen Xun was shocked and immediately understood these people. It was him, and he was also running away. "Panning City is just southeast. You took a detour."
"Thank you, young man." The old man bowed and said. After saying so much, he actually just wanted to ask for directions.
"It's okay, it's okay."
Chen Xun waved his hand and looked at these refugees. "Be careful on the road. There are many wild animals here."
"Thank you, young man."
"Thank you, young man!"
"Thank you, big brother."
...
There were many voices of thanks from the crowd, and a little girl shouted crisply. Hope ignited in their eyes. They were finally going to Panning City. It was a big city with quite stable public security.
Chen Xun smiled slightly and watched everyone leave. The big black bull also mooed at them.
"Old Cow, let me tell you, no matter which world it is, as long as there is a country, there will be wars all the time, and the people will suffer."
Chen Xun said with emotion, the history of his country in his previous life was a painful history of war, which has been engraved in everyone's blood.
"Moo? Moo, moo!"
The big black cow was excited, and the work on the hoof stopped. It kept rubbing its body against Chen Xun, and told him to tell quickly.
"Then we have to start from the Xia Dynasty..."
Chen Xun began to tell the story solemnly and carefully. The big black cow's eyes were wide open, and he listened to it fascinatedly, and even remembered a few names.
After half an hour, they had finished washing clothes and sat here to enjoy the snow scene. Chen Xun was still there telling the big black cow about history, immersed in it.
"To know what happened next, please listen to the next chapter."
Chen Xun patted the unsatisfied big black bull and looked at the washed clothes, "Our clothes are all frozen into ice!"
"Moo!" The big black bull suddenly came back to his senses, it's true.
"Let's go, luckily we have the fireball spell."
Chen Xun got up, carried the water tank and the clothes, and took the big black bull to the cave. It was convenient to have the spell, just dry it directly.
On the way, they gradually began to feel something was wrong. Why was there a bloody smell floating in the wind and snow?
"Old cow..."
Chen Xun whispered, took out the hood from his arms, and put it on his head directly, "Be careful."
"Moo."
The big black bull responded in a low voice, with vigilance in his eyes, and its sense of smell was quite sensitive.
In the distance, several corpses were lying under a tree, and the blood dyed the snow red, and was gradually buried by the heavy snow.
Chen Xun frowned and his steps gradually slowed down. It seemed that there were several bodies every half a mile, with knife wounds on their bodies. They had not been dead for long, and the footprints were messy and unclear.
"Moo?"
The big black bull looked at Chen Xun. Some of them looked familiar, like the people who asked for directions just now.
Chen Xun gradually approached and turned over several bodies. There was a woman who was protecting a little girl, but they were all dead, and even their wounds began to freeze.
