Sheng Yuan four years, April 20th.
The weather in the far north has become clearer for the first time in a long time.
Although the cold wind is still like a knife, causing pain on people's faces, at noon, the sunshine in the sky is still mixed with a little warmth.
And in this warm and cold environment, two figures were moving quickly against the cold wind.
Three days have passed since Lin Ji and Beishang left Jingchuan City.
After killing Xiyu Mountain that day, luckily he didn't encounter any other troubles, so Lin Ji just chatted with Wen Renjia's Taoist Realm for a few words, and then thanked him before taking Beishuang on his way at night.
Killing an elder of the Holy Fire Sect was actually nothing. Lin Ji was mainly worried about the barbarians who would come to join the Taoism. He hasn't recovered from his injuries yet, and it would be troublesome if he met a Taoist like Fan Que at this moment.
In the cold wind, Beishang followed closely behind Lin Ji. Although her pace was fast, she could barely keep up with the help of Lin Ji's spiritual power.
Finally, Bai, the one-armed boy in front, slowed down.
He waved his hand, and the two snow rabbits, which had blended in with the white snow, fell into his hands.
Holding four rabbit ears with one hand, he let the snow rabbit's legs continue to step on it.
"Make a fire and grill the meat."
Beishuang rolled his eyes.
"I don't know how many rabbits you have harmed over the years."
"These things eat less and give birth faster. The harm I do is far less than the harm they give birth to." Lin Ji said with a smile, "I can be considered as contributing to the ecological balance."
"Ecological balance? What is that?"
"nothing."
While chatting, Beishuang had already piled up dry firewood familiarly. Although the firewood was damp, it was naturally not a problem in front of the monks.
Lin Ji found a river covered with ice and snow not far away, so he disappeared in a flash. A moment later, he reappeared with two big frozen fish floating behind him.
"Let the rabbit go, the skin will be peeled off, but you are quick."
Watching Beishuang quickly clean up the snow rabbit, Lin Ji let the fish fall next to her and said, "Just like the same method, you eat the rabbit and I eat the fish. The fish under the glacier have fresh and tender meat."
"One is grilled, and the other is made into fish sashimi for me. Each piece must be thin, uniform, and crystal clear. It's time to test your knife skills."
Even in the face of Beishang's constant glares, Lin Ji was still chattering on the side and refused to stop.
"Don't be annoyed. If my right hand is still there, where will it be your turn?" Lin Ji shook the empty sleeve on his right side.
Hearing this, Beishang suddenly sneered.
"Oh, you are a monk who has entered Taoism. What does it mean to regenerate a broken limb? You are just restoring flesh and blood."
"The body-training technique I practice is quite special. Although my physical body is comparable to a dragon in the Taoist realm, this huge blood energy is not so easy to recover."
"Instead of returning to your full glory, you can't do it by temporarily growing an arm?"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up and cut the fish into pieces first. I just happened to bring the condiments."
It is naturally not difficult to get an arm. Even if the newly grown right hand cannot easily activate the spiritual energy, even if it holds a sword, it is still very good, and the arm is not the same when fighting with others, but cooking is still no problem.
But instead of wasting blood to grow a useless arm, it's better to save up and slowly recover.
While talking, Lin Ji flipped his hands, and a small table suddenly appeared in front of him. It was only one foot long and wide, and looked more like a small stool.
On the small table, a pair of bowls, chopsticks, an empty plate, and several bottles of soy sauce, vinegar and other condiments have been placed.
Beishuang is already used to this.
She quickly disembowelled the river fish, and then her spiritual energy passed over it, washing away the blood, leaving only the crystal clear fish meat.
Cut the fish fillets as thin as cicada wings and place them neatly on an empty plate.
Lin Ji had already prepared the dipping sauce.
He picked up the chopsticks with his left hand and picked up a piece of fish. When he was about to eat it, he suddenly paused and asked a little embarrassedly: "Do you want to eat it?"
"No. In fact, I don't really want to eat grilled fish or rabbit. I'm just a Yuanshen monk and I'm not hungry. Are you hungry?" Beishang said honestly.
"I've done everything." The implication was that he wasn't hungry either, and was just bored on the road to add some flavor to his mouth.
As he spoke, Lin Ji dipped the fish into the dipping sauce, stuffed it into his mouth, and then narrowed his eyes, looking like he was enjoying it.
Seeing this scene, Beishuang asked curiously: "Is it so delicious?"
"Try it." Lin Ji hurriedly handed over the chopsticks.
Beishuang didn't mind it either, so he picked up a piece of raw fish with the chopsticks Lin Ji had used, dipped it in the dipping sauce, and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Pooh!"
"Pooh!"
The two spit out the fish in their mouths almost at the same time.
"It smells earthy, and I've clearly removed the blood, so why is it still so bad?" Beishang was puzzled, and suddenly turned his head to look at Lin Ji, "So you are pretending to be like this just to make me suffer too." Delicious?"
"Otherwise?" Lin Ji looked as if he should take it for granted.
Beishuang didn't know how many times he rolled his eyes.
She handed the chopsticks back and concentrated on the grilled fish and rabbit on the fire.
While flipping the ingredients, she said casually: "It's really rare to say that I've been with you three or four times. This is the first time I've seen you rushing in such a hurry. It only lasted less than three days. We walked half a month’s journey before.”
"This is just to take care of you. If I were the only one, I would already be sleeping in the government office in Mocheng." Lin Ji said with a smile.
Beishang glanced at Lin Ji, the corners of his mouth curved slightly, and then his eyes fell on the fire again.
"Didn't Wenren Mingjing say that you don't need to care about the revenge of the angry god? The angry god himself has become the continuation of the great road. Even if he still has consciousness, he still has to act according to the way of heaven. He cannot specifically come to retaliate against you."
Most of the previous conversations between Lin Ji and Wenren Mingjing focused on the totem god of the Far North barbarians, the Raging God.
Lin Ji couldn't feel at ease no matter what after offending someone in the Ninth Realm.
"Be careful with your ten thousand year ship." Lin Ji responded, "Even if the angry god doesn't take revenge on me, I still killed a barbarian who entered Taoism. Who knows if other barbarian monks who have entered Taoism will come to trouble me. "
Lin Ji glanced at his empty right arm.
Beishang understood and sighed softly: "Actually, since the last incident in the Holy Fire Secret Realm, I have been far less valued in the church than before. I thought that even if the second elder had a bad temper, he would definitely not do it for me. This saint who has lost her favor is against you, the official Youtian."
"Haha, so you overestimate my dignity?"
"I caused you to be seriously injured. I don't know if I will ever have the chance to repay the favor I owe you in this life."
"Don't worry, Lin never cares about so-called favors."
"To put it lightly."
Seeing Beishang's silence, Lin Ji didn't say anything more.
It is true that he was seriously injured, but the rewards of killing Xiyu Mountain were beyond Beishang's imagination.
His soul looked inside and looked at the yin and yang fish hovering in his mind.
The yin and yang fish that originally vaguely represented the path of cause and effect were now more than 30% clear.
"A person who has entered the Taoist realm has put me in a bottleneck."
Lin Ji had a slight smile on his face.
It's a good thing to be stuck in a bottleneck. After all, if you can't reach the bottleneck, how can you break through it?
