Considering that Fu Yunge was currently ill, Poinsettia purchased a lot of things when he came, so that they could be used in the cold place.
The sky gradually darkened. The already cold temperature dropped suddenly, the Tianhe River turned purple and black, and the vast snowfield was vast. In addition to its grandeur, it was even more chilly.
A poinsettia opened the small tent, a rope tied the eight pointed wooden pillars, and with one movement of internal strength, the tent was completed. A fire was ignited in it, and the light and heat suddenly brightened, dotting a few stars between the dark sky and earth.
The two of them got into the tent, took out the wooden sticks they picked up during the day, built a rack, and grilled the cooked meat and vegetables they bought.
After a while, the aroma was wrapped in the curls of smoke. The two of them each took one and put it to their mouths, exhaling softly.
"It feels so good to eat barbecue in the snowy desert." Fu Yunge praised.
Poinsettia looked sideways and nodded: "I have rarely come to Xuemo before. It is indeed a precious experience."
The master and apprentice immediately lowered their heads to eat, and the firelight cast their backs dimly on the tarpaulin.
The wind and snow were howling outside, and from time to time, snowballs smashed into the weak curtain, rolled into the fire, turned into water stains, and evaporated instantly.
"The Snow Desert has arrived. It's a land of extreme cold and ice storms. It still takes some time." Poinsettia didn't eat much and quickly started reading the map. But when the map reached the Beiyi Snow Desert, it became completely blank, with only a few scattered points marked.
"How are you doing? I will help you with counseling later. If you feel any discomfort, you can't hide it like yesterday."
Poinsettia said again. Fu Yunge put the last skewer of roasted meat into his mouth and wiped the grease on his cheeks: "Master, I remember. I just wanted to try to see how the recovery went... I didn't hide it from you on purpose."
"Okay. Don't mess around on your own from now on. The snow desert is extremely dangerous, don't let any accidents happen." Poinsettia looked serious.
Fu Yunge scratched his head in agreement. The two of them took a short rest and sat cross-legged to perform exercises and regulate their breathing.
After days of cultivation, the ice and fire energy in Fu Yunge's body has been completely wrapped by the red plum energy, which is very gentle and will not break out rashly. It’s just that there are still many unknown risks in Xuemo. Taking care of yourself one more time will always provide you with more insurance.
Fu Yunge felt the flow of Qi in his body, and his mind was already a little drowsy. The howling of the wind and snow outside seemed to have weakened a lot, and it sounded quite peaceful at the moment.
"Master, what are the plans of the people last week?" Fu Yunge asked proactively in order to resist the sleepiness.
Poinsettia was startled. He thought for a moment and said: "Don't worry about those things now. The wisdom and response of Jue Tongjun and others are enough to deal with it. If we chose to use force last Sunday, it would be the easiest for us."
"Some of them have weird abilities, I feel... we must be more careful..."
Fu Yunge's voice gradually weakened, and his breathing became smoother and more even. Poinsettia gave him a gentle push to keep his energy condensed.
"Don't worry. When your Qihai problem is resolved, you can help us deal with it together." Poinsettia said, the corners of her mouth rising secretly, "By then your power will be greater than before, and you will be able to play a greater role..."
The wind outside gradually died down, and there was a swirling echo in the air. The chaotic stars are looming, the vastness is vast, and the heaven and earth are condensed into silver and rugged snow lines.
After a while, the poinsettia finished its work. Fu Yunge also became more energetic. He slowly swayed, opened the curtain and walked out.
The cold outside suddenly woke him up completely. Originally I just came out to relieve myself and planned to go back to sleep, but when the cold wind blew, I was suddenly more irritated than when I just woke up.
"Huhu... It's hard to imagine how Senior Lang Chenyan can endure living in such an environment all year round." He shook his head and said while unbuttoning his trousers.
The hot breath he exhaled lingered in front of him, and the white mist seemed to be a solid wall. Fu Yunge's gaze slowly extended into the distance, looking at the deep night above his head.
Stars and snow are both mottled light spots, but one is still and the other is flying in the wind. The snow melted immediately after it hit the face. The body, which had just absorbed enough calories, felt relaxed and appreciative in the face of such a grand invitation.
Fu Yunge looked far into the distance, staring at the sky above his head. How far is the Bitter Blood Lotus? How long will they be searching here?
The bitter cold of the wind and snow made the road ahead deeper and darker. Unconsciously, the snow under his feet became a little deeper, and he pulled out his feet.
"Let's wait until tomorrow and think about it..."
Fu Yunge said, turning around and returning to the tent. However, at this moment, his eyes suddenly focused on one place: "...Huh?"
The night sky is filled with snow and silver catkins everywhere. However, in his casual glance, he suddenly saw a trace of movement that was different from the snow flakes——
"That's... a bird?"
To be precise, the snow-white bird should be a white crane or egret. It flew high and hovered in the sky.
Fu Yunge looked up at it, but it seemed that soon, it seemed to have noticed Fu Yunge's sight, and suddenly turned and flew farther away.
Then, a scream pierced through the snowy sky and stayed in Fu Yunge's ears.
"...Has it seen me?" Fu Yunge muttered slowly and frowned.
Back in the tent, he told Poinsettia about this. After hearing this, Poinsettia pondered for a moment and shook her head: "If it is a snow egret or other bird, it also has a certain intelligence that can understand people. It may be that it was just waiting for someone to be around and was frightened and left."
After taking care of Fu Yunge's condition, the two of them went to bed. The strong wind outside was howling rapidly, the leather fabric of the tent was shaking violently, and a cold wind penetrated through the cracks in the ground.
Although it was not peaceful outside the tent, the two of them ran around for days and soon fell asleep.
…………
"..."
It seems that the snow outside has stopped.
Fu Yunge slowly stood up and put on his clothes while half asleep and half awake. He seemed to feel that someone was waiting for him outside the tent.
When I opened the tarp, sure enough, the wind and snow had stopped at some point. The earth is silvery white, and the night sky is blue and black, dotted with thousands of stars. What's even more surprising is that it's not very cold, even though it's late at night...
late at night? A doubt flashed through Fu Yunge's subconscious. But when he came into contact with the line of sight outside the door, his nerves seemed to be out of control and he became extremely confused.
Standing outside the door is the big white bird.
It seems to have been waiting in the snow for a long time. But there was no impatience. When it saw Fu Yunge coming out, a deep smile seemed to appear on its pointed head.
Seeing that Fu Yunge's gaze was dull, the big bird flapped its wings gently and jumped up.
It slowly flew up. Like a person who intentionally introduces a stranger to his home, it flies slowly and guides. Fu Yunge actually followed it step by step, gradually leaving the tent.
The big bird flew close to the ground, its bright body like a strange dancer dancing in the snowy desert.
