Chapter 359 Three Beautiful Things in Beast Life
Kongyuan Sacred Mountain is famous because there is an empty plain under the snow-capped mountains.
This name is very consistent with the temperament of Bei Aozhou.
Someone once estimated the area of the five continents. Among them, Zhongyuan Continent is the largest, but Zhongyuan Continent also has the largest population. As the second largest continent, Bei Ao Continent has a smaller population than Dongying Continent, where the Yao Clan is located.
Therefore, the emptiness and wildness are the first impression of Bei Aozhou.
It's a long way to get to the Kongyuan Sacred Mountain from the northernmost Arctic City in Bei Aozhou, not to mention the special circumstances of Yousu, and you don't dare to show your face, so you have to keep a low profile.
He was still dressed as if he didn't reveal his true face in Lushan, leaving footprints one after another in the snow.
Bai Ze turned into a miniature white cat and curled up in his arms. From time to time, he poked his little head out and looked around. His small eyes rolled around, looking curiously at this strange world.
The cold wind is biting, snowflakes are flying, and the sky and earth in Bei Aozhou are covered in silver, as beautiful as a picture scroll.
You Su tightened the animal skin robe tightly and squeezed the white cat out:
"Come out and get bigger and let me ride."
Bai Ze quickly rolled around in the snow and immediately stopped falling.
Hearing You Su's words, Bai Ze breathed at You Su aggressively:
"You are the only one who still wants to ride me? Why don't you let me ride?"
You Su thought for a while: "We take turns. You ride me for a while, and I ride you for a while. That's fair."
Bai Ze shook his head, "Do you think I'm a stupid pig? How fast will I ride you, and how slow will you ride me? I'm losing money!"
"Then don't get on top of me, you're dirty." You Su said disgustedly.
In fact, You Su also knew that he could not let Bai Ze transform back into his original form and let him ride on him. Whether he was recognized by the mythical beast was only a secondary reason, and the main reason was that it would be too ostentatious. Bai Ze is a well-known mythical beast in Bei Aozhou. Being seen by others can easily lead to unprovoked disasters. This is obviously not what one person or one beast wants to see.
Bai Ze looked at his hair after hearing this, and he quickly licked it twice to try to make up for it. But the dirt on its body has been accumulated for many years, and it can't be licked clean in a short time.
"It sounds like you're speaking very cleanly." Bai Ze rolled his eyes, and then followed leisurely at You Su's feet.
Although it was as bright as day at this time, the actual time was just before dawn in Zhongyuan Continent, so no one could be seen on this already inaccessible road.
This also made Bai Ze relax a lot, and he dared to jump out of You Su's arms and walk around on his own.
"You have to find a place to take a bath." You Su murmured.
When I was in Zhongyuanzhou, because I had to practice swordsmanship and 'sword practice' every day, I would bathe every day no matter in winter or summer to ensure that my body was clean. There was a fire talisman formation there where hot water could be used at any time, and the clear mountain spring water was available. It is inexhaustible, so bathing is something that You Su has become accustomed to and can no longer get used to.
But since jumping into the bottom of the sea, it has been more than a month since I took a shower. In the Xuesang tribe, fire and candles were scarce resources, so how could they be willing to boil water and bathe frequently. When we arrived at Arctic City, we couldn't enjoy it for long due to unexpected changes and had to rush on our way again.
"What is a bath?"
"Heat a bucket of hot water, soak in it, apply soap on your body, and wash your body clean. This is a bath." You Su explained.
"Won't you drown?" Bai Ze has never seen so much water.
"A saint once said that bathing is one of the three most beautiful things in the world. So as long as you are uncomfortable enough to faint, you will not drown in the bath water."
"Is it that powerful..." Bai Ze dismissed it and asked: "Which saint is it?"
Bai Ze was very curious about the saint mentioned by You Su, because even he had overheard it from those who had gone to Cangshan Mountain to pray for blessings before. Bai Ze was the mythical beast that was born at the same time as the saint came into the world.
Although it knew that it was actually born so neatly on the top of Cangshan Mountain and had nothing to do with the so-called saint, it was still full of interest in the word saint.
"That's me." You Su replied without shame.
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Ze was so angry that his left foot went weak and his face fell into the snow.
I wish you were the saint who brought me into being, and I wish I could crawl back into the earth.
It quickly shook its head: "There are so many people coming to my house to pray. This is the first time I have seen someone as shameless as you."
You Su ignored it.
He walked like this for a while, feeling bored to the extreme. In order to chat and relieve his boredom, Bai Ze had to temporarily assume that You Su was the saint:
"What are the other two beautiful things?"
"Eat."
"Yeah! That's right! That's right!" Bai Ze moved the cat's head briskly, expressing his rare agreement with You Su's words, "What about the other thing?"
"Sleep."
"That's right! It seems that you are really a bit like a saint!" Bai Ze jumped up happily, feeling that You Su was really amazing, and he had guessed all the things he liked. Eat, sleep, except take a shower.
You Su didn't show much happiness, he just glanced back at it and asked lightly:
"Is there a Gong Baize in this world?"
Bai Ze tilted his head slightly and said blankly: "Maybe. Why do you ask this?"
"The sleep I'm talking about is not the sleep you understand. When you find a male Bai Ze, you will know what I mean." You Su kept walking.
Bai Ze was stunned and confused, "Don't show off, you!"
But You Su just ignored him.
The cold wind howled, and You Su couldn't help but shudder even though the animal skin was close to his body.
Bai Ze took advantage of the opportunity and suggested:
"How about we turn back? Otherwise, how long will it take to get to the next town... Only after we have rested can we have the strength to hit the road. You can also take a shower. By the way, just prepare two bear paws for me. , the kind that needs to be hot.”
Bear paws are a rare thing even in Bei Aozhou. A few days ago, Bai Ze was on the road with people from the Xuesang tribe, so he ate them when they were good. Bai Ze, who had been eating in the cave for thirty years and only occasionally opened meat dishes, was also shocked. He didn't expect that the roasted bear meat was so much more delicious than the raw one. It was like opening a door for it. The door to the new world.
"I was the one who killed the city lord, not you." You Su replied coldly.
Driving in the snow is a boring thing. No matter how beautiful the scenery is, sometimes you get tired of it. Bai Ze then walked around You Su's legs to find some fun.
Yusu deliberately paused suddenly, causing Bai Ze to hit his heels firmly.
Bai Ze cursed and walked away, rubbing his plush forehead with his paws, and said disdainfully:
"It sounds like a big deal. Killing a monk from the same realm will make you so powerful that your tail will fly up to the sky." You Su was also in a daze when he heard this, but he didn't care about Bai Ze's ridicule at all.
He is now roughly certain that he is in the Ningshui realm, but once upon a time, this realm was something he didn't dare to hope for.
When he was in Izumo City, Lord Yanagi, who had reached the perfect state of Ningshui, seemed to him to be the strongest person in the city, but he didn't expect that only nearly a year had passed, and he was already in the same realm as the then Lord of the City.
If he was still in the Xuanxiao Sect, if he wanted to, he could even go to a remote town like them and become the city lord.
But he is just a lonely traveler in a foreign land.
Wait... doesn't that mean that his level has already caught up with the master's? !
"You are a mountain spirit born from Cangshan Mountain, why are you so weak?" You Su asked curiously.
When Bai Ze heard this, even his beard was furious, "I'm just tired! Otherwise, I'll eat you as I please!"
You Su complained: "You say you are a mountain spirit. I guess Cangshan himself doesn't want to admit it."
Bai Ze angrily put his hands on You Su's calf and wanted to bite him hard, but there was only thick animal skin where his mouth was, so it couldn't hurt You Su at all.
"Stop meddling in other people's business! I'm just being patient!"
You Su revealed the disguise of the little mythical beast with one sentence: "When you entered the cave, your eyes were scarlet. But until now, your eyes have never changed color. Why?"
Bai Ze paused, but You Su had no intention of waiting for it. In other words, You Su, who was busy on his own, didn't take this matter as important at all.
Bai Ze followed quickly and lowered his head:
"Actually... I seem to know that I was deceived by those people..."
"Well, I guess you're not that stupid." You Su said casually.
Bai Ze was furious, but had no choice but to say: "They left me a lot of food, just like the people who came to me to pray before, and asked me to protect those big rocks. They spoke so well, and the food they gave was so good. Of course I was willing to eat...but I found that I was getting more and more irritable and lazy. Originally, I would often hunt for food in the mountains, but later I just wanted to sleep in a hole and wake up when I was hungry. I'm just hungry. Slowly, I don't even have the strength anymore..."
"It's Ruanshensan." You Su quickly gave the answer, "This is a drug commonly used by human monks when hunting large spiritual beasts. They will inject Ruanshensan into the prey that these spiritual beasts like to eat. When the spirit beasts are feasting, the Soft Spirit Powder will consume the spirit beasts' will and strength, allowing them to capture them easily."
"Then why didn't they come to arrest me?"
"You can't tame spiritual beasts with Ruan Shen Powder. You use this powder to hunt spiritual beasts and get the precious materials from them. But because you are Bai Ze, they don't dare to kill you, they only dare to lie to you. ”
"Oh..."
Bai Ze finished and remained silent for a long time.
It was very angry that it had been deceived, but at the same time it felt helpless that it had lost its power. It was really too bad for him to be deceived so easily. This mountain spirit took it very seriously.
"Ruanshen Powder is not poison. Practice well and don't touch that thing again. The power will come back with a chance." You Su was cold on the surface to his only partner in this long journey, but in fact he was still gentle.
"Really?!" Bai Ze was very excited, "By the way! You said they don't dare to kill me, so is it okay for me to go crazy in front of them?!"
You Su turned around and looked at the white-gray kitten like a fool, then lifted it by the back of its neck and stuffed it back into his arms.
"A dog will jump over the wall if he is anxious, let alone a human being."
You Su patted Bai Ze's round head, "But if the rumor that Bai Ze can't be killed is true, when one day you really meet someone you must kill, you can hit his sword yourself. Although the method is stupid It’s a bit weird, but it’s a way to die together.”
"No!"
Bai Ze shook his head. He was not afraid of the cold, but he also didn't like warm places, and You Su's arms were particularly warm. Although this human being is annoying, it is as warm as a small fire.
"I'm just saying that when you can't beat them, just scare them, but you don't really want to die."
Survival is the instinct of animals, and spiritual animals are no exception. Even if they become spiritual beasts, the nature of cherishing life is still engraved in their bones.
"Then hide. There is a house in front of you. Don't expose yourself."
You Su stuffed Bai Ze's head inside.
……
The sun penetrates the clouds and dapples the village, adding a touch of warm color to this quiet place.
You Su looked around and determined that this place was deserted and that it was a long-abandoned village.
This is not unusual. After all, in this world of ice and snow, everyone is willing to go south.
After confirming that no one was around, You Su, who had not had a good rest for a long time, found a room that looked the most perfect and walked in.
Fortunately, there are still unused dry firewood and some daily utensils that cannot be taken away.
The most life-saving thing among them is probably the round tub.
You Su found Bentou, went outside the house, shoveled the snow, and poured it all into the bucket.
Use the ignition technique to ignite the firewood, and the snow gradually melts into water.
It took some effort before You Su took off his clothes. He was shivering from the cold, but he felt alive after getting into the hot bucket. A warm current rose from the soles of the feet and quickly spread throughout the body, taking away the fatigue and coldness along the way.
Bai Ze walked by the edge of the bucket and exclaimed, "Are you going to cook yourself?"
But the next moment, You Su dragged it into the tub.
Bai Ze splashed in the water and resisted instinctively, just like a well-behaved young lady who was being forced.
But soon, the good lady gradually stopped struggling under the massage of the 'experienced' villain.
Its little eyes widened, feeling the comfort brought by the hot water. This was a wonderful feeling that Bai Ze, who had been in the freezing cold all year round, had never experienced before. His head was dizzy, and half of his tongue unconsciously curled out of his lips.
"Hey, is it cooked?"
You Su shook Bai Ze, but Bai Ze, who was addicted to enjoyment, didn't bother to pay attention to him. It simply closed its eyes and enjoyed this rare comfort. After a while, it slowly opened its eyes and looked at You Su with a satisfied look.
"You're right." Bai Ze exclaimed with a hint of laziness in his voice, "You are really a saint who understands the hearts of beasts! There are three great things about beasts: eating, sleeping! and bathing!"
You Su burst into laughter, one person and one animal soaking quietly in the tub, surrounded by only the sound of gurgling water and the occasional sound of wind. This tranquility made You Su feel particularly peaceful. He closed his eyes and allowed his thoughts to wander in his mind.
Suddenly, You Su suddenly opened his eyes because there was the sound of crunching snow outside the door.
