Chapter 351 Snow Breath
Learning Snow Breath was not smooth.
You Su has lived in Zhongyuanzhou since he was a child, where the four seasons are distinct, the climate is humid and the air is warm.
Now that he is in Bei Aozhou, which is covered with ice and snow all year round, he is very uncomfortable with the dry and cold air.
The sunny moment passed quickly, and the spreading wind and snow swept through the tribe again. The sound of snow flakes whistling reminded Yusu of the first time he saw the evil smog outside Izumo Castle.
You Su couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that the entire Arctic snowfield was formed by the breath of a giant beast? Or is it that, as described in those ancient creation myths, the world was formed on a giant creature?
Of course, You Su himself doesn’t quite believe this ridiculous conjecture. But he also somewhat understood why people would have these wild ideas, because there are really too many things in the world that cannot be explained.
He simply couldn't bury his head completely in the snow to draw air like the patriarch. He just breathed heavily in the open space, and the cold air mixed with snow entered his chest, just like a blade slit his throat. pain. Even breathing in places where the wind and snow are more severe is so painful, let alone learning the magical breathing of snow.
But the clan leader just smiled and said: "Just get used to it and you'll be fine."
You Su was puzzled, it was not like he could adapt to this thing overnight, especially for a foreigner like him. Let’s talk.
The old man did not rush You Su, but found a fur coat made of animal skins for You Su. This made You Su, who was wearing several sets of clothes layered on top of each other, feel much more relaxed.
“Treat breathing as simple as breathing.” The old man gave You Su the last advice.
You Su was a little confused about what he meant, and was secretly worried about the clan leader's mysteriousness. If there was any trick, he could just say no?
But the old man’s attitude is also very obvious, that’s all.
Before truly learning the breath of snow, adapting to the environment is the first priority, and no one can help him with this task.
Other people in the tribe cast questioning glances at You Su. These people began to doubt whether You Su was really capable of leading them to take back the Shenhuite to wash away their sins.
If they didn’t really have no choice, maybe they wouldn’t choose themselves... You Su thought to himself.
But You Su is not discouraged. He has never been a person who lives by looking at other people's faces.
In fact, he still can't tell clearly about his current cultivation level, but he is sure that at least it is definitely not in the lower realm of condensing water.
However, he probably hasn’t reached the Feather Stage, he’s probably at the Ningshui Stage.
You Su guessed in his mind that there were no particularly obvious differences between the middle and upper Ningshui lower realms, but You Su was certain that he must be much more powerful than the Ningshui lower realms.
After absorbing so much evil power, these improvements should be expected...
That night, the wave-like army of evil puppets were all waiting for his orders. The feeling at that time was that he really felt like he had become an omnipotent god. At this time, You Su didn't know that his performance that night had caused a storm in Wuzhou.
No wonder Lord Gray has been warning me not to be greedy for that kind of power, anyone else would be addicted to it and unable to extricate themselves... You Su is still frightened.
He then remembered that he still had the Xuanji Order on him, and it had not vibrated for a long time. No matter how powerful the communication magic weapon is, it is impossible to ignore the limitation of distance. It seems that the power of the Pure World Sect has not yet reached this far away North Pole.
Thinking of Lord Hui, You Su also thought of He Kongyue who was in seclusion. He had promised to take care of his father for him, but he couldn't do it now.
You Su feels very guilty. In fact, he willfully controlled his own destiny this time, and he should owe a lot of people. He can only make up for it slowly in the future...
You Su Shen Taking a breath of cold air and feeling a needle-like pain in his throat, he woke up from his guilt and focused on the matter at hand.
The long day disappeared and turned into an eternal night.
You Su really feels that the nights in the Arctic are darker than those in Zhongyuanzhou. Of course, this may be his illusion, because in Zhongyuanzhou, there are lights everywhere, and the sky always feels gray, as if it is getting dark.
But here, there is no interference from other lights. The stars and moon are as bright as the sea, making the night even darker.
After climbing ashore from the edge of the glacier, it was the first time for You Su to appreciate the unprecedented natural scenery, even though he had walked alone in the snow for so long.
He is not an impatient person, but the twists and turns of fate seem to have changed his temper. He desperately wanted to understand the confusing fate behind him, and desperately wanted to return to the one he cherished, but in the end, he seemed to have forgotten the purpose of his desire to regain his sight——
He wanted to take a good look at this world.
A brilliant light pierced the night sky. It was the aurora. They were like dancing ribbons, dancing on the dark sky. Green, purple, and blue are intertwined to form a flowing picture that is breathtakingly beautiful.
On the ground, the thick snow reflects the light of the aurora, bathing the entire snowfield in a mysterious and beautiful light. Snowflakes were flying in the sky, contrasting with the aurora, and the mountains in the distance were looming in the night.
Yousu suddenly felt much more relaxed. He took a deep breath and tried again, but the result was still unsatisfactory. He coughed violently again, and the breath from his mouth condensed into white mist in the cold air, which quickly dissipated.
"Is the master learning the breathing of snow?"
A charming voice sounded, and You Su turned his head, and it turned out to be a deer in solid clothes, with two bright eyes staring blankly. Look at yourself.
"Yes." You Su nodded lightly.
Xiaolu suddenly covered his mouth and smiled, "I thought the great god could do everything."
It seemed that the girl had seen Yu Su's embarrassing state of failing to cough just now.
"It is not the behavior of a gentleman to laugh at the shortcomings of others by one's own strengths." You Su also seemed to feel that he had lost face and educated the girl.
After hearing this, the girl restrained her smile and did not dare to laugh again.
You Su looked at this thin little girl, but felt some pity in his heart. He knew that Xiaolu's life was exchanged for the lives of her grandparents, and Xiaolu should know that she did not have much time left.
Guilt, urgency, despair, these negative emotions are undoubtedly cruel to a living life. The waning old man can face death calmly, but the little deer has just started to prepare to enter the world and is told that it is forbidden to do so.
But what surprised him was that the deer did not get better after running away during the day. She seemed to have regained her vitality now, as if she had forgotten that she was about to die.
“It’s beautiful, right?” You Su said softly.
Xiaolu knew that You Su was talking about the aurora in the Arctic snowfield. The girl smiled slightly, "Well, it's beautiful!"
Her smile was as pure and pure as the aurora in the snowfield. The beauty made You Su's heart warm.
"Do you often watch the aurora alone here?" You Su asked.
The deer shook his head, "Even here, aurora is rare. You can only encounter it if you are lucky." "Then it seems that our luck is not bad today."
< br>
You Su looked much gentler, as if the ice and snow covering his body had faded away, and he had turned back into the young man from Zhongyuanzhou.
“This is how people are, sometimes they have good luck, sometimes they have bad luck. It’s enough to take it lightly and cherish what you have.”
You Su is actually not many years older than Xiaolu, but despite having a lot of experience, he still acts like an experienced person in front of Xiaolu, hoping to relieve the girl's worries.
The deer was silent, nodded, and said softly ‘hmm’.
“My parents apologized to me. They regretted agreeing to send me to the devil...Actually, I don’t know if I should be angry with them, but I know they love me. Yes, I love them too, that’s enough.”
You Su’s heart tightened when he heard this, and he was moved by the girl’s sensibleness and strength.
You Su rubbed the girl's head and said softly: "Don't be too sensible, that will make life very tiring."
The deer didn't respond.
She sat on the snow reflecting the aurora, and watched the unpredictable aurora in the sky with You Su.
You Su simply sat down and decided to calm down his mind. It seemed that he had been walking through the ice and snow, but in fact his heart was always restless.
He and the deer sat side by side on the snow, watching the unpredictable aurora in the sky, and the two began to chat. Xiaolu told Yousu interesting stories about the tribe, such as whose sled was the fastest, whose prey was the biggest, and whose children were the naughtiest. You Su listened carefully, occasionally adding a word or two with a faint smile on his face.
Although Xiaolu lived in this remote tribe without books or other ways to acquire knowledge, she did not become numb. Instead, she became more interested in the world, and Yousu, a foreigner, did not become numb. , became the biggest outlet to satisfy her curiosity.
"Master, where are you from?" Xiaolu asked curiously.
“I come from a very far away place.” You Su replied.
He wanted to correct the girl’s title of ‘Great God’, but failed.
"How far?" Xiaolu asked.
“It’s farther than you think.” You Su smiled and pointed to the brightest stars in the sky, “You have to walk thousands of miles in that direction, and you have to cross a vast area. Only the boundless sea can be reached.”
"That's too far...then when you get home, won't everyone be old?"
Xiaolu's imagination is limited by her living environment, and she cannot imagine how long it is to be that far away. It was long, but I was still shocked by it.
You Su looked at Xiaolu's innocent look, and his heart was filled with emotion. He knew that although Xiaolu's life was short, she had hope and optimism that were more precious than many people.
“No.”
You Su shook his head and decided to give the girl a beautiful fantasy:
"In a far away place, time passes very slowly. By the time I get home, maybe only one day has passed."
He followed the deer's words and made up a story about immortality. The people in the story lived in A place where it feels like spring all year round, where you don’t have to worry about food and cold, and you can live forever.
Xiaolu was fascinated by the story, her eyes full of longing. She exclaimed from time to time and asked for details in the story. You Su answered patiently. He looked at Xiaolu's sparkling eyes and felt a sense of warmth in his heart. He knew that this story might be a rare and beautiful consolation in the girl's short life.
After telling the story, it was already very late before I knew it. The auroras all over the sky gradually dissipated, and the night sky returned to deep black.
Xiao Lu actually fell asleep leaning on You Su's shoulder. The girl breathed evenly, and her long eyelashes cast a light shadow on her face.
A couple had been waiting behind them early. They took away their sleeping daughter and looked at You Su with gratitude in their eyes:
"Thank you, Immortal Master You Su." The girl's Dad said softly and carefully picked up the little deer from You Su. The woman took out a thick animal skin from the igloo and gently covered the fawn.
You Su nodded, turned around and entered his tent.
Before entering the door, he looked at the dissipating aurora and the dark night, and felt the no longer cold air between his breaths. He knew that he might have understood the method of getting started with Snow Breathing.
What the patriarch said before, 'as simple as breathing', was not a mystery. Breathing that is too deliberate is not called breathing. Real breathing should be when you cannot feel the existence of breathing.
You Su sat in the snow with Xiao Lu, freeing his mind and feeling the tranquility between heaven and earth, which allowed him to capture the true meaning of snow breathing.
Early the next morning, You Su took the initiative to find the clan leader. The cold air had no effect on him, and he could even feel the subtle flow of energy in the air.
No wonder it is said that cultivating Snow Breathing to perfection will not only allow you to survive in the wind and snow, but you can even turn the wind and snow into strength. The mysterious energy in these snow gaps is weak, but as pure as snow.
“It’s as simple as breathing.” You Su smiled meaningfully and immediately started his presentation.
He took a deep breath, and then slowly exhaled it. The air exhaled from his mouth did not turn into white mist, but quickly dissipated in the air, exactly the same as the patriarch's demonstration last night.
When the cold air is breathed in and then spit out, it does not take away the heat in your body, so it does not fog up in the air. This is the key point that Snow Breathing needs to achieve in the next step, but You Su actually knows it by himself without any teacher.
The patriarch looked at You Su, his eyes full of surprise and joy. He originally thought that You Su would take longer to get started, but he didn't expect that he had already mastered the trick in just one night.
"Great, Master Youxian! You are truly a genius!" the patriarch said excitedly. He rubbed his hands and showed a long-lost smile on his face.
After You Su mastered the trick, he became more and more comfortable in learning Snow Breathing. His rapid progress shocked his tribe and astonished the heavens. They looked at You Su, their eyes full of admiration and hope.
The patriarch secretly thought that he might really believe in the right person.
This young man not only possesses strength far beyond his appearance, but also has extraordinary understanding and perseverance.
In the next few days, You Su continued to practice snow breathing and learned from the clan leader how to identify the direction in the snowstorm and how to survive in the extremely cold environment. The clan leader poured out all his resources and taught Yousu all his life experience.
The nights became shorter and shorter, until one day, the night never came again.
The arctic day is coming.
