"Strange, why do these clothes feel a bit thick?"
Jiang Ning changed back into his clothes and couldn't help but murmur in his heart.
He felt like he was wearing a cotton coat in the summer, and he was sweating profusely.
Jiang Ning took off his coat casually, but he didn't expect that the feeling of heat was still there.
He had no choice but to take off his sweater, which made him feel a little more comfortable.
But this was only slightly more comfortable, Jiang Ning still wanted to cool down.
He walked out of the room and went straight outside the Immortal Mansion.
I plan to blow on the natural air conditioner to cool myself down.
What surprised Jiang Ning was that even if he was walking in the ice and snow wearing only a shirt, he would not feel the slightest bit cold.
I think this series of changes are all related to the fairy water I drank before.
He already has the same physique as Shen He, and he won't feel cold even if he wears a single layer of clothing in winter.
In addition to this, Jiang Ning also noticed that his strength had improved.
You know, the gate of Zhenjun Liuyun's Immortal Mansion is particularly heavy.
In the past, Jiang Ning tried to open the door and go out, but after a lot of effort, he found that the door did not move at all.
Now, he can easily push the thick stone door by raising his hand and applying a little force.
The strength was so great that Jiang Ning himself was a little unable to react.
Thinking back to the time when he first crossed over, if he had had such strength, he wouldn't have been chased away by the three red-haired Qiuqiu people.
Is this what it feels like to be blessed by immortal power?
It’s so cool!
Just as Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng said before, soaking a century-old glass bag in water and drinking the fairy water will bring you all the benefits without any harm.
Jiang Ning now understood the meaning of this sentence.
Given time, maybe he can "carry the floating stone and leave."
"Jiang Ning, come over for lunch."
At this time, Shen He called softly.
Today's lunch is still a glass bag and plants such as Qingxin. Although it is unpalatable, it is also part of the practice.
"Hold on for a while longer. When it's time for the Lantern Festival, I'll take Shen He down the mountain to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas."
Jiang Ning silently planned the future in his heart.
When chatting before, he asked Shen He what year it was and what month it was specifically.
However, Shen He stayed in the mountains for too long and was a little confused about human life.
Facing Jiang Ning's question, she couldn't answer it at all. She only knew that it was winter and there was no Hailantern Festival in Liyue Port yet.
After learning this information, Jiang Ning looked forward to the stars and the moon, and looked forward to the day of the Hai Lantern Festival.
Because on the day of the Hai Lantern Festival, he could use the excuse of "going down the mountain to experience human life" to take Shen He to Liyue Port.
Zhenjun Liuyun Jiefeng also encouraged Shen He to get in touch with human life, and he would definitely not reject Jiang Ning's proposal.
...
After eating, Shen He and Jiang Ning began to meditate during the lunch break.
"You must calm down and carefully feel the presence of the breath."
“Everything in heaven and earth has breath, the difference lies in the strength and weakness.”
Shen He slowly guided Jiang Ning.
Breath is an ethereal and very empty concept. It can be an aura or a smell. Even breathing is a type of breath.
Jiang Ning slowly closed his eyes and established a connection with heaven and earth.
Humans have five senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste and touch.
When one of the senses is turned off, the body will naturally amplify the remaining four senses.
Jiang Ning's eyes were closed tightly. He heard Shen He's even breathing and the subtle sound of the cold wind passing through the stone door.
And... Outside the Immortal Mansion, footsteps made a rustling sound in the snow.
Jiang Ning opened his eyes, and Shen He, who was sitting opposite him, was also aware of it.
The two looked at each other and said in unison: "Someone is coming."
Jiang Ning and Shen He quickly stood up and ran towards the outside of the Immortal Mansion.
This is Aozang Mountain, the immortal residence of True Lord Liuyun.
An area of immortals that ordinary people are intimidated by and dare not set foot in.
In addition, the mountain was blocked by heavy snow and the road was difficult and dangerous. The two of them really couldn't figure out who would go up the mountain at this time.
Jiang Ning and Shen He quickly came outside and saw a figure walking towards the Immortal Mansion from a long distance away.
That was a young-looking guy.
But if you look carefully, you can find that his eyes are as deep as an ancient well.
He was obviously a young man, but his aura was like that of an old man who had experienced ups and downs.
Jiang Ning recognized at a glance that the person who came was Liyue's rock god, Morax.
The identity he currently walks in the world is named Zhongli.
At this moment, Zhongli was strolling leisurely, walking leisurely.
In his hand he held a jug of wine and several empty glasses.
"Jiang Ning, that gentleman is a friend of Master, not an intruder." Shen He explained in a low voice.
"Master said that if you see him sitting on a stone bench outside the Immortal Mansion drinking, don't disturb him and let him sit quietly for a while."
"Let's go back."
Before Zhongli arrived, Shen He took Jiang Ning back to the Immortal Mansion.
With the arrival of Zhongli, Jiang Ning's finally calmed down, this time it was finally over.
He didn't know why Zhongli appeared here.
In fact, Shen He is also equally curious.
She didn't know who the person sitting outside the Immortal Mansion was, but she only knew that he had a good relationship with Zhenjun Liuyun.
...
At this time, fine snow slowly began to fall in the sky.
Zhongli sat on the stone bench indifferently, letting the fine snow fall on him.
I saw him first setting up the wine glass, and then pouring wine into the glass.
After doing all this, Zhongli picked up the wine glass in front of him and looked at the sudden heavy snow quietly, not knowing what he was thinking.
After a while, he drank the wine in one gulp.
He gently put the wine glass down, stood up, and left empty-handed.
When I left, I still took a leisurely stroll, taking my time.
A person walks alone in the endless snow, his back is lonely and lonely.
Not long after, Zhongli's figure completely disappeared into the snow.
Only the wine bottle placed on the stone table proved that he had been there.
"Sister, does that gentleman go up the mountain often?"
Jiang Ning and Shen He chatted.
Shen He thought carefully and shook his head gently, "Not much."
"Throughout the year, I have only met that gentleman once. Today is the second time."
Shen He thought for a while and added: "He probably encountered something unpleasant and wanted to find a quiet place to drink away his sorrows."
Jiang Ning thought to himself that there were very few things that could make Zhongli unhappy.
I don't know how comfortable his life was. Every day he was either walking birds or listening to books in a teahouse.
I don’t envy mandarin ducks or immortals, I envy Mr. Zhong every day.
And the reason why he came to Aozang Mountain to drink alone was probably to commemorate those old friends who had passed away.
After all, the old man has lived for thousands of years, and it is not easy to resist wear and tear.
"Senior sister, what will you do if you encounter something unpleasant?"
Jiang Ning followed Shen He's words and asked curiously.
Shen He thought for a while, then shook his head: "I don't know, I should be sitting on the top of the mountain to enjoy the wind."
Sit on the top of the mountain and enjoy the breeze?
Jiang Ning was stunned for a moment, thinking of the night when he and Shen He first met, Shen He was sitting alone on the top of the mountain, not knowing what he was thinking.
It turned out that she was not so happy during these days.
Is it because you haven’t let go of those painful experiences that you can’t look back on?
"Jiang Ning, if something unhappy happened to you, what would you do?" Shen He asked.
"Me, I will turn my grief and anger into appetite and cook all kinds of meals to reward myself."
"No wonder your cooking skills are so good." Shen He suddenly realized.
"Is it because there are a lot of unhappy things in normal times?"
Jiang Ning:......
"Senior sister, it's easy for you to have no friends if you talk like this."
Shen He also felt that his words were wrong and said quickly: "Sorry, I didn't express myself clearly just now."
"What I want to say is, if you encounter anything in the future, you can tell me."
"I hope this makes you happy."
Seeing Shen He's serious look on his face, Jiang Ning thought to himself that although Shen He's words were sometimes heartbreaking, his intentions were good.
This little girl is simple-minded and unconcerned with worldly affairs, so she is quite cute.
"We all want to be happy every day." Jiang Ning said.
"If you encounter anything in the future, you can tell me. Don't hold it in your heart and digest it silently."
"Okay. I promise you." Shen He nodded.
