Chapter 360 Fellow Countryman Meets Fellow Countryman
You Su’s heart tightened, he quickly held the Mo Song Sword in his hand, and looked out the door warily.
In this deserted place, the sudden sound undoubtedly makes people feel wary.
Bai Ze also laid his paws on the edge of the barrel, carefully staring at the direction of the sound.
The sound of stepping on the snow is getting closer and closer. You can probably distinguish two footsteps, one light and one heavy. They should be a man and a woman.
When the two people outside the door approached, the sound of stepping on the snow suddenly stopped.
You Su’s face was stern, and his thoughts were clear.
The two people outside are indeed coming for them!
"Hello, is anyone here?"
A male voice sounded, accompanied by a gentle knock on the door. Judging from this performance alone, he did not seem to have any malicious intent.
You Su did not answer his question so quickly. Seeing that there was no response for a long time, the woman whispered:
"Qu Ye, let's go... I scared people..."
Hearing this, the man didn't hesitate much and nodded, "It's a breach of etiquette to visit hastily. Don't blame me, Master. We'll leave now."
After saying this, the sound of stepping on the snow sounded again.
Bai Ze watched the two figures turn around to leave through the window paper and secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he did not expect that You Su behind them suddenly shouted:
"Wait a minute."
Bai Ze was very confused about You Su's many lives, but You Su had his own thoughts.
These two people did not speak with the backward accent of the people of Bei Aozhou. Instead, they spoke an extremely standard Wuzhou dialect. Therefore, they are most likely not locals from Bei Aozhou, but strangers like Yousu. This made You Su interested. Maybe he could ask something from these two people.
The two people outside the door paused when they heard this, as if they were extremely surprised, and said happily: "There is really someone here!"
"What are you two doing?" You Su tried his best to imitate. He spoke in the tone of a Bei Aozhou native.
"We are travelers. When we passed by this place and saw smoke from cooking, we wanted to ask a few questions." The male voice was obviously the one in charge, and he was the one who gave the answers.
"There are not many travelers who can come here..." You Suyi pointed out.
"To be honest, sir, we are from Zhongyuanzhou. We just want to see the aurora in the Arctic snowfield, so we traveled thousands of miles to come here." The man was also very clever and explained quickly. The purpose of coming here.
You Su nodded slightly, secretly glad that he had saved the two of them. If he was really from Zhongyuanzhou, he would definitely have a better understanding of that incident.
"I understand. I'm taking a bath, please wait a moment." You Su Zhuangruo responded casually.
The man didn't seem too surprised, but his tone was still full of apologies: "That's what it should be. Sir, please do as you please. We'll wait outside."
After that, he led the woman a little further away and said All etiquette is in place.
Although You Su still wanted to hang out for a while, he had business ahead of him and couldn't care less about enjoying it. But Bai Ze still stayed in the water and refused to come out. He was obviously very satisfied with the big bathtub that was about to be his own.
You Su shook his head helplessly, but he had no intention of letting Bai Ze show up.
After he was fully dressed, with only half of his face exposed, You Su opened the door and walked out. The cold wind immediately brought snowflakes to his face, making his rosy face feel cold again.
A man and a woman were dressed very down-to-earth, wearing traditional Bei Aozhou cotton clothes. They looked quite handsome, but they did not have the deep eyebrows and eyes of the people in Bei Aozhou. He doesn't look too old, he should be a young man in his twenties. However, for practitioners, age is difficult to judge with the naked eye alone. You Sucu felt and estimated that the two of them were probably in the condensing water realm.
The two looked at each other, as if exchanging their first impressions of You Su, and then quickly greeted You Su as a greeting.
If their previous etiquette was out of self-cultivation, then the etiquette at this time comes from the heart. Because they could feel that the cultivation level of the young monk in front of them was unfathomable, at least not something they could measure.
"Sir, you can go slower, we are not in a hurry." The man apologized.
“I wonder what you two want to ask?”
You Su went straight to the point. In fact, this was in line with the character of Bei Aozhou people who were too lazy to beat around the bush.
The man was stunned for a moment, then said: "Sir, since we are fellow Taoists, let's not beat around the bush. This is my fiancée. She wants to see the most famous aurora in Bei Aozhou before getting married. I heard that the Arctic Aurora is common in snowfields. We have been here all the way from Zhongyuanzhou, but we have never seen it all the way north. We walked on this snowy road for a day and a night. We thought we had reached an uninhabited area until we saw one here. cook As the smoke rose, I wanted to ask where I was, and also where to find the aurora."
You Su was slightly surprised when he heard this, "You are quite leisurely and elegant."
“Mr. Just kidding, this is just a small ideal between me and my beloved wife. If we can’t reach the top of the immortal world, then we can travel around the five continents and see all the magnificent sights in the world.” The man’s voice became louder when he said this, which was obviously his ideal. Very satisfied.
Hearing this, the woman also punched her lover a little shyly, and said shyly:
"Don't you just have no talent for cultivation? You are deceiving yourself by saying this."
The man scratched his head in embarrassment. Apparently he felt that he was a little embarrassed to talk about his ideals in front of a person with advanced realm.
"A very good ideal, and even better is that you can put it into practice."
You Su nodded, the intimate interaction between the couple made him a little sentimental. So he secretly made up his mind that one day when the world is clear and clear, he will take them to travel all over the country.
The two of them seemed not to have expected that their little ideal would be affirmed by You Su, and they were both a little flattered. After all, when most practitioners talk about their ambitions, whether they are sincere or not, they mostly say it is for the word immortality, because this is the ambition that is most consistent with the immortal way.
"Unfortunately, I don't know where to find the aurora, but you can go over there and walk forty miles to Arctic City. Maybe there will be someone there who will take you to find the aurora." You Su pointed at him. direction.
“Can we really get to Arctic City?! I thought we were on the wrong path!” The man was extremely excited, and the woman also raised her lips in joy.
Normally, the conversation should end at this point, but Yu Su obviously would not let them go just like that.
"My name is Ding Zhen, what are your names?"
"My name is Qu Ye, and my beloved wife's surname is Wang." The man named Qu Ye is very fond of You Su, a native of the north. I had a good impression and reported myself without hesitation. However, he was still sober and did not reveal his fiancée's full name. After all, unlike Bei Aozhou, which is straight forward, the name of a woman in Zhongyuanzhou is not something that can be asked casually.
You Su also recognized this point and deliberately spoke with a sense of 'discourtesy', which also made him pretend to be more real.
After giving his name and becoming more familiar with each other, the man dared to ask more questions:
“Is Mr. the only one in this village?”
"I am not from this village. I also passed by this place. I saw it was deserted and wanted to take a rest."
Na Quye looked astonished, thinking that this senior was quite sincere and did not lie to him that he was an aborigine of this deserted village.
Just at this moment, a stronger cold wind hit, and the woman couldn't help but tremble a few times.
Seeing this, You Su warmly invited: "You are friends from the south. It's very cold outside. I lit a fire. Come in and sit."
Qu Ye and the woman met again. Looking at each other, the woman nodded slightly, and Qu Ye He hurriedly said: "Thank you sir."
"Don't call me sir, just call me Ding Zhen. The patriarch taught me that only knowledgeable people deserve to be called sir. I am not knowledgeable." You Su said truthfully. Cheng's plain speaking expresses a natural simplicity.
When Miss Wang heard this, she apologized and said something like, "When three people are together, one must be my teacher."
The two walked into the house and did not wander around very honestly. Bai Ze was still soaking peacefully in the tub, happy that he could not expose himself. You Su scooped out some charcoal fire from the fire under the tub and put it into the brazier and brought it over. The two people thanked him repeatedly and wiped a small chair for You Su.
Being able to travel so far from Zhongyuanzhou requires financial support in addition to strong mobility. These two people obviously have a relatively prosperous family background, which gives them the ability to pursue their ideals. And their wealthy family background has also given these two people a relatively good education, and there is absolutely nothing annoying about them.
The crackling sound of the charcoal and the rare warmth made the two travelers from afar gradually let down their guard.
As You Su pretended to be naive and took the initiative to talk, Qu Ye and Miss Wang were occasionally amused by You Su's excessive simplicity, but they also had a deeper understanding of this young man with advanced cultivation but innocent mind. I have a good impression and have no reservations about talking to him.
In Yu Su's self-introduction, he comes from a remote tribe in the Arctic snowfield and hopes to get out of the snowfield and make a name for himself in the city. The two of them did know that there were some hidden small tribes everywhere in Bei Aozhou. Most of them were isolated, but they all had their own unique ways of practice. And this also explains why You Su is so ignorant of worldly affairs, but has a cultivation level comparable to that of a genius.
It was also learned during the conversation that Qu Ye was actually a disciple of the Xiyi Mansion in Henggao Sacred Mountain, and Miss Wang was from Henggao City.
You Su quietly pulled his collar higher, and became more determined to ask something from the two of them.
“Coming from the sacred mountain, he is very powerful.” You Su praised.
"No, no, I'm still far behind Brother Ding. I'm just relying on the influence of my parents." Qu Ye was very humble and encouraged, "Brother Ding's talent is unparalleled even if it is placed on the sacred mountain. If you are like me, you will definitely have a great career in this trip.”
You Su shook his head, as if a little discouraged, "I'm not that powerful. The clan leader said that the world was about to be in chaos, so he kicked me out of the clan and asked me to go to Kongyuan Sacred Mountain to show off my skills. But I have been to the most powerful place before. Far away is Arctic City. I don’t know how to get to Kongyuan Mountain, and I don’t know where the three evil gods are.”
Hearing this, a flash of light flashed in the eyes of Qu Ye, who had completely trusted Yu Su. surprise.
He did not expect that the leader of such a small and hidden tribe actually anticipated the chaos in the world and was willing to release a genius like Brother Ding Zhen.
This path is exactly the same as that of those great masters in history who started from humble beginnings and gradually became famous all over the world. People with simple minds are better able to climb the path of immortality. The protagonists of many stories are stupid... No! It’s all about innocence!
Qu Ye suddenly felt a sense of heroism, and immediately threw out a parchment scroll and said:
"Brother Ding took our couple in for warmth and rest as a favor. Please accept this thank you gift!"
He unfolded the parchment, and it turned out to be a piece of official road between various towns in Bei Aozhou. map.
His heart is not in the path of cultivation, but it would certainly be a wonderful thing if he could make friends with future immortals. In the future, his name may also be left in the history books - a certain Ding Daxian was just starting out, and the first guide he met was Qu Ye!
Thinking of this, he took out this valuable parchment scroll without hesitation.
Miss Wang was a little surprised, but she also guessed what her fiancé was thinking. She pursed her red lips distressedly, but still did not say anything to stop him.
"This is a map? But you gave it to me, what do you use it for?"
"It doesn't matter, of course we are prepared with both hands when we go out to play. There is another one with my fiancée. Although it is not as detailed as this one, we I've already walked through it once, so it's enough." Qu Ye waved his hand, and Miss Wang took out a roll of sheepskin to support his statement.
You Su was not polite and accepted it readily, but also took out a small box of cedar resin from his Qiankun bag as a gift in return.
Seeing this thing, Ms. Wang, who was a little reluctant to part with it, suddenly smiled. After all, what woman doesn’t love beauty.
"Now that the road has been cleared, all we have to do is find the three evil gods! I must let them taste the fist of our Xuesang tribe!" You Su held the parchment scroll in his hand and said firmly.
Qu Ye didn't know whether to be surprised or smile bitterly. He quickly advised the tour guide Su not to be in a hurry for success, but he did not dampen You Su's lofty ambition. After all, exterminating the three evil gods is much greater than his ideal of traveling around the five continents.
Most people who like to travel also like to share their experiences. Various stories are also the biggest gain besides the beautiful scenery.
The same was true for Qu Ye. It was cold outside but warm inside the abandoned house. This made him want to share so much that he started chatting with You Su about the outside world.
You Sule pretended to be innocent and showed great interest in what Qu Ye said. Qu Ye felt as if he had become the teacher of the future great immortal. The more he talked, the more energetic he became. He answered all the questions You Su asked one by one.
When he heard that the elder had blocked the master of flesh and blood by himself, You Su felt sad and cursed those who doubted him.
When he heard Qu Ye viciously introduce the infamous self, You Su also cursed a few words with the same hatred.
When he heard that some people gathered outside Xuanxiao Sect to jointly attack Lotus Peak, but the leader of Xuanxiao Sect chose to cut them off, the chair under You Su suddenly broke into pieces.
Qu Ye and his beloved wife looked at each other, assuming that the wooden chair was in disrepair.
But what made You Su secretly let out a sigh of relief was that there was no one on Lotus Peak.
You Su's mind was spinning very quickly. Someone must have moved his wife and senior sister away in advance.
Was it done by the Third Elder? Or is it the leader of the Xuanxiao Sect who tried to cut him off even though he had never met him?
You Su couldn't guess the answer, but the fact that they were able to leave at least meant that someone was helping them secretly.
Until now he confirmed the safety of his wife and senior sister, You Su finally felt much more at ease.
