"it's me?"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian looking at him with doubt and surprise, the man took off the hat on his head and the scarf on his face, revealing a young face.
"Lotte? Why are you here?"
Bu Xiaotian was even more surprised when he saw this person's appearance clearly.
"For it."
Lotte took out something from his arms, but it was a white flower the size of a palm, with snow-white petals and a burst of fragrance.
Smelling this fragrance, Bu Xiaotian's mind became clear.
Recalling the conversation between the two when they first met Letian, Bu Xiaotian couldn't help but ask:
"Northern Snow Lotus?"
"That's right, and it's a thousand-year-old snow lotus. I originally found a thousand-year-old snow lotus, but there was a powerful snow demon guarding the snow lotus next to it. I couldn't win, so I had to pick this thousand-year-old snow lotus. ”
When it comes to the snow demon, Letian looks frightened.
"Oh, why did the herd of beasts chase you just now? Was it also for this snow lotus?"
Hearing Bu Xiaotian's words, Letian showed a hint of embarrassment on his face:
"That's not true. The place where I picked the snow lotus is at least nine thousand miles away from here, so they can't chase it so far. After I picked up the snow lotus, I drove back day and night. Last night I arrived at the place where you met me.
Seeing that I was about to leave the snowfield, I thought about getting some good things from the snowfield back. It would be good to add them to the betrothal gift or take them out as gifts, so I went to dig out the lairs of several nearby beast herds. Don’t tell me, but also I really found a lot of good stuff!
However, when he came back, he had consumed too much energy and didn't dare to fly, so he had to run on the ground, and they almost caught up with him. "
"Well……"
Bu Xiaotian looked at Lotte and didn't know what to say.
"hey-hey…"
Seeing Bu Xiaotian's expression, Letian was a little embarrassed, laughed dryly, and asked instead:
"Why are you here? You also found this cave. It's very hidden here. I also wandered here for a long time before I found it."
"Oh? The ashes I saw earlier were left by you?"
"That's right. I've been away from here for half a month. If no one else has come during this period, that's what I left behind."
Lotte is also a little unsure.
"Okay, stop talking about these insignificant things, why don't you tell me why you are here? Aren't you on the mountain? Is the competition over?"
"Well, it's over a long time ago. There is an order in the door, asking all disciples who have reached the 'Control of Objects' realm to go down the mountain and walk around. It seems that the demon sect wants to make some moves.
I didn’t know where to go, so I wanted to come to the north first to see the legendary Arctic Icefield. "
Bu Xiaotian no longer dwelled on such trivial matters as ashes. He simply answered Lotte's question and asked instead:
"Didn't you come to the north last fall? Why did it take you so long to find Snow Lotus?"
After all, it had been almost a year since they last separated.
"Oh, I didn't delay after I separated from you last time, and came here directly, but it was almost winter at that time, and the weather in the north was really too cold, and it was no place for people to stay!
When I first came here, I tried to enter the ice field and almost froze to death in it!
Since then, I have not dared to rush in again. I waited until half a month ago, when the weather was the warmest, before I went in again.
By the way, you just said you wanted to see the Far North Icefield?
I advise you not to go. Don’t look at the ice and snow here. In fact, this place is still thousands of miles away from the real ice field. The ice and snow there have not melted for years. Apart from snow, it is just ice. There is nothing interesting to see at all, even if you are a practitioner. It’s also a narrow escape! "
"Well, I don't have to go anyway. If you don't want to go, then I won't go. Anyway, the world is so big, where can I go?"
Seeing that Letian was serious, Bu Xiaotian didn't insist.
"Then you come with me to the South China Sea!"
When Letian heard what Bu Xiaotian said, his eyes suddenly lit up and he said:
"I really didn't expect that it would be so difficult to get a snow lotus, and it almost cost me my life. But since I am determined to marry Qinglian, I will not give up.
But one more person means more certainty. I heard that the South China Sea sharks have weird tempers, and the shark teardrops are their clan's treasure. I'm afraid they will beat me to death if I go alone! "
Aren't you afraid that I will be beaten to death by them together with you?
Bu Xiaotian wanted to say this. But after all, he still didn't say it.
Although Bu Xiaotian didn't say it out loud, Letian understood his thoughts and continued to persuade:
"Xiaotian, you don't have to worry that I will trick you, I won't trick you, I have an escape method, just buy me half a quarter of an hour, and I can take you thousands of miles away.
The leader of the Sharman Clan is not much better than me in cultivation, but if she interferes, I will not be able to use this escape technique. So I need you to help me hold him off for a moment. "
Bu Xiaotian thought for a while and asked:
"How do you know the cultivation level of the Sharman clan leader?"
"I have not been waiting here for more than half a year. I found that there is no ice field in winter, so I went to the South China Sea first to get the shark beads.
But the Sharman tribe was very close to the Shark Pearl, so I sneaked in, but before I could see the Shark Pearl, the Sharks discovered it. I had a fight with the leader of the Sharman tribe, but I didn't win. "
"Okay, I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll just go with you!"
"Good brother! It's settled then! Let's set off tomorrow!"
Seeing that Bu Xiaotian agreed, Letian immediately became happy, patted Bu Xiaotian's shoulder excitedly, and asked again:
"By the way, don't talk about me. Let's talk about you. Did you come here directly after you came down from the mountain?"
"That's not true."
Bu Xiaotian briefly told Letian about his experiences since coming down the mountain. When Letian heard that Bu Xiaotian had been tricked by Hei Donkey Hei Donkey, he was immediately overjoyed. Hearing the black donkey bring purple ginseng again, he couldn't help but shout good luck.
When he heard that Bu Xiaotian had injured the Xuanyin Ghost Mother, he was also a little surprised, and he clicked his tongue and said in wonder:
"I didn't expect you to be so powerful. Even the old witch Xuanyin Ghost Mother fell into your trap. The old Taoist priest you mentioned does sound very simple."
"It's true. In fact, I was no match for Xuanyin Ghost Mother at all. I was able to hurt her mainly because of the old Taoist priest's talisman. If the talisman hadn't caught her by surprise first, the final result is still unknown. "
Bu Xiaotian nodded and explained.
"Well, so there is something about this old Taoist priest, but you said that he once called himself Taoist Tianji, but I have never heard of this name. Could it be that he used a fake name?"
Lotte said thoughtfully.
"I don't know, but he left quietly that afternoon after helping Xiao Wuyang open up the Ren and Du channels."
"It seems like this old Taoist priest came to you on purpose. I just don't know what he has in mind."
"I think that the old Taoist priest sometimes talks nonsense, but he doesn't look like a villain."
"I don't know, maybe it was just a whim of some old senior. What happened next? Did you really teach that kid named Wu Yang to practice?"
"Um."
Bu Xiaotian nodded and continued:
"I didn't expect that his father would actually ask me to accept Wu Yang as his disciple. I couldn't refuse, so I had to agree."
"You still have a disciple?"
Letian looked at Bu Xiaotian with some surprise.
"Well, there's no other way. I can't just die without saving you, right?"
"It makes sense. We monks should be chivalrous and help the world and save people. Moreover, you and Wu Yang do have the grace to preach and teach. It is also appropriate for him to call you master."
Lotte nodded in agreement and said.
"Okay, let's not talk about it for now. I have to adjust my breath. Brother, please help me protect the law."
"You can adjust your breathing in peace, I'll be here to watch over you."
Letian nodded and did not say any more words of thanks. Although they had only met twice in total including this time, he had an inexplicable trust in Bu Xiaotian.
Not long after Lotte sat down, the black donkey ran back to the cave.
Calculating carefully, it only took an hour and a half from the time he rescued Letian to the time the black donkey came back. The black donkey actually ran more than 300 miles in this short period of time!
Bu Xiaotian had a new understanding of the black donkey's footsteps.
When Black Donkey saw Bu Xiaotian, he was about to call out to vent his grievances about being left alone, when he saw Bu Xiaotian making a silent gesture.
Only then did he see Lotte sitting cross-legged in the cave, and he immediately suppressed the scream that was about to come out.
"Go get some food and come back."
"Hmm - Ang -"
The black donkey hummed dissatisfiedly and reluctantly walked out of the cave.
Although I don't want to, I have no choice but who wants to let him follow Bu Xiaotian now?
The donkey is under the eaves and has to bow its head!
By the time the black donkey laboriously dragged a wild boar that was slightly smaller than it back, Lotte had already finished adjusting his breath.
Seeing the black donkey dragging a wild boar, Lotte looked a little surprised and asked:
"Is this really a donkey? This is the first time I've seen a donkey that can hunt!"
Hearing this, the black donkey let go of the boar leg in his mouth, turned his head and glared at Letian, his eyes full of contempt and disgust, seeming to say that Letian was rare and strange.
"This donkey looks down on me?"
Letian saw Hei Donkey's actions and Ganga was surprised.
"Haha, this donkey is so smart! Most of the food we ate along the way was brought by it. I don't know how it found these well-hidden wild animals."
Bu Xiaotian said with a smile.
"Oh? So powerful? I heard that the smarter the donkey, the better the meat. I never had the chance to try it."
As Lotte spoke, he looked at Hei Donkey with evil eyes.
When Hei Donkey heard that the guy who had been rescued by the boss actually wanted to eat him, he was shocked at first, and then ran into the cave in fear and hid behind Bu Xiaotian.
"Haha, stop teasing it. If you scare it away, won't I be hungry in the future?"
Bu Xiaotian turned around and glanced at the black donkey who was trying his best to hide his huge body, and said with a smile.
"Hey, if you dare to look down on me, be careful I will kill you and eat your flesh."
Letian chuckled and said to the black donkey behind Bu Xiaotian.
The black donkey knew that Bu Xiaotian would protect it, but he was not afraid at all. He even showed his head and snorted at Letian, full of provocation.
"Hey! How dare you provoke me!"
Lotte was fooled by this provocation, so he immediately rolled up his sleeves and looked like he was going to kill the donkey.
"Okay, don't get angry with a donkey."
Bu Xiaotian saw that this man was about to cause trouble, so he hurriedly stopped him with words. Finally, he turned back and glared at Hei Donkey, and scolded:
"Brother Lotte is our companion for the next few months. If you offend him, I won't care about you!"
"Hmm~"
Hearing Bu Xiaotian's words, Black Donkey snorted angrily, and lay down listlessly, resting his head on the ground, raised his eyelids and glanced at Lotte, but did not dare to provoke him anymore.
