Chapter 227-228 The Great Sage [two-in-one 7k monthly ticket]
Northland.
When Liang Du first arrived at the border, he was stunned, just because——
It's snowing.
There is only summer in Yongning Province all year round.
Its winter is like summer in disguise.
But this time, Liang Du was still in this world, and Liang Du saw snow for the first time.
At this moment, Xue looked at the flowers fluttering in front of his eyes and the north wind whistled. Liang Du was in a very good mood.
Every place must have its own unique characteristics. This is the surprise of life.
At this time, he was walking in the deep mountains and old forests with few human traces. Seeing the heavy snowfall, he simply found a cave and planned to stay overnight.
As for the theory that there are no caves in the deep mountains and old forests of the North, that is absolutely nonsense.
Look, after this punch, doesn't a cave appear?
The force of Liang Du's punch was just right, and no extra energy was wasted.
He looked at the cave he had punched out and was very satisfied. Looking at the heavy snow in the sky, he was ready to have a barbecue.
At this time, enjoying the snow and having a barbecue is definitely a pleasure.
At this moment, his spirit stirred, and then all the animals in the mountains and forests appeared in his perception.
From time to time, hares were running in the snow. When Liang Du waved his hand, he saw several hares panicking and running directly in front of him and crashing to death on tree stumps.
Looking at the fat hares in front of him, Liang Du couldn't help but feel very satisfied, and then began to pack up the rabbits.
This barbecue, he has a lot of seasonings on him.
This was something he had prepared before. After all, he planned to take a good look at the world, so he was very well prepared this time.
After the visualization method is upgraded this time, it can reflect reality itself, and can reflect things in reality within a certain range, which is comparable to the means of creation.
In other words, it is easy for him to get some seasonings. As long as the previous reflection is stored in his spiritual sea, he can use this reflection to appear.
After a while, a fire started burning in front of Liang Du, and the hares had already been cleaned up.
At this time, Liang Du's barbecue techniques were average, but with his mental control, down to every detail, he was just right.
I saw him sprinkle some seasoning on it from time to time, and the hare was roasted golden on the outside, and instantly the aroma was fragrant.
Liang Du himself couldn't help but move his index finger. It seemed that this rabbit was roasted very well.
At this time, he had just roasted a hare, then put another hare on the grill at will, and then he was ready to enjoy the roasted hare.
As soon as Liang Du took a bite, he felt that the rabbit meat was charred on the outside and tender on the inside, and every bit of meat was roasted to perfection.
Cool!
How can there be no wine at this time?
However, Liang Du stopped his action of reflecting reality, because at this time he saw a pair of small eyes on a branch not far away looking at him motionlessly.
As the aroma of the second roasted rabbit on the fire rack spread, a black shadow quickly shot out, and then stopped quietly in front of the roasted rabbit.
Huh!?
monkey!?
Looking at the little dot with white hair on his head in front of him, Liang Du instantly recognized that this was a monkey that looked a little different.
At first glance, the little monkey's two small eyes were not free of animal nature, but at this moment, Liang Du saw that they were still extremely agile.
Ouch, this little guy is not afraid of people?
All I saw was the hare on the grill. As for Liang Du next to him, he didn't even look at it.
You know, I still have a roasted hare on my hands, but this monkey is not interested?
While Liang Du was marveling, the little monkey suddenly drooled and dripped on the ground.
It's still snowing outside at the moment, and if it weren't for the fire, the water would freeze soon.
But this little monkey looks so cute despite his greedy behavior.
Liang Du actually ate hare just to satisfy his appetite, because he had already been able to live without food.
For some reason, looking at the focused expression of the little monkey in front of me, it seemed like it and the roasted rabbit were the only ones left on the ground.
Seeing this, Liang Du simply smiled and said: "You are also very lucky as a hozen, so I will give this hare to you."
After saying that, Liang Du ignored it and directly sucked the roast rabbit into his hand. In an instant, there was only a pile of bones left.
The monkey seemed to be frightened by his movement, and finally stopped looking at the hare being roasted, and instead looked at Liang Du with a dumbfounded look on his face.
Its little head couldn't react at all. How on earth did this two-legged beast eat the hare in an instant?
Liang Du looked at its expression and couldn't help but laugh, but he ignored him and took the grill directly. The barbecue hare technology came online again, and the scent of the hare became stronger and stronger.
The little monkey was attracted by the scent, and immediately forgot about the way someone had inhaled it, and continued to look at the grill intently.
And the unsatisfactory saliva in its mouth flowed out again.
"This foodie."
When Liang Du saw this, he couldn't help but laugh and curse, but he kept his hands on it. After a while, he sprinkled the seasoning on it, and the scent of hare completely exploded.
Liang Du put the roasted hare in front of the little monkey, which frightened it and took several steps back.
Liang Du almost blushed when he saw this situation.
Good fellow, you were fearless when you ran over just now. Now I gave you the hare, but you were so scared that you backed away.
Sure enough, foodies have longer reflex arcs than anyone else, regardless of race.
Now you know you are afraid?
However, maybe it was because Liang Du was handsome or because his smile was harmless. The little monkey observed it not far away for a while, but in the end he couldn't resist the temptation of delicious food.
It stared at Liang Du carefully and walked slowly over. Liang Du made no other moves at this time. Finally, it boldly took the roast rabbit from Liang Du's hand.
Don't tell me, this little monkey is quite strong.
Then, the little guy didn't start moving directly. Instead, he took the roast rabbit and ran outside without any hesitation.
Good guy.
Liang Du couldn't help but feel funny when he saw this, but he didn't care and just regarded it as a small episode.
Then, Liang Du felt that the hare tasted really good, so he decided to roast a hare again. Needless to say, the taste was still very good.
Without the interruption of the little monkey, Liang Du finally had a pot of wine, a mouthful of wine, and a mouthful of meat. He was really happy.
After Liang Du successfully upgraded his visualization method, although he could not see the past and future, reflecting reality gave him the ability to create things.
However, in the cycle of heaven, if you get something, you have to pay it. This reality actually comes with a price, which will consume Liang Du's own blood.
However, these little spices and wine really won't affect anything.
After all, the strength of his physical body is like a drop of water in the ocean, without any impact at all.
However, while Liang Du was drinking wine and eating meat in a carefree manner, he found that the little guy who had just slipped away ran over again.
This time, it was much bolder than before. It squatted directly in front of him and pointed at the wine in his hand.
This little monkey actually wants to drink?
Liang Du, who was completely relaxed at this time, couldn't help but feel more and more interesting when he saw the little monkey's situation.
Immediately, a small cup appeared and was handed to the little monkey. It smelled it and was completely intoxicated.
Then Liang Du couldn't laugh or cry, and the little monkey couldn't wait to drink the wine in one go.
This spiciness completely exploded in the monkey's taste buds. It was so spicy that it breathed rapidly and shook its hands in front of its mouth.
Just when Liang Du was about to laugh at it, he found that the cup in his hand dropped to the ground and spun around a few times, and then he fainted and fell to the ground.
Liang Du couldn't help but be stunned when he saw this.
Is this little monkey capable of drinking like this?
This result made Liang Du dumbfounded.
However, the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier. Liang Du was so full that he simply lay down and looked at the beautiful scenery outside.
For Liang Du, who has not seen snow for more than ten years, this situation is really a kind of enjoyment.
Silent and snowy.
Between heaven and earth, you are the only one left, which makes people feel calm involuntarily.
Comfortable.
As for the drunk little monkey, Liang Du carefully placed it a little away from the fire to prevent it from being burned.
The scenery in the north is hard to come by. Compared with the south, it is a little more rough and heroic.
As the saying goes, everyone will get drunk without being drunk. At this time, Liang Du relaxed completely and fell asleep directly.
He had a sweet sleep, which was a pleasant thing in the world.
Liang Du didn't worry about his safety in the deep mountains and forests at this time, and he slept quite peacefully.
In life, what you want is to be at ease.
…
Early the next morning.
Liang Du opened his eyes, and in the bright light, he heard a whooshing sound, and a little guy with white hair on his head and yellow hair on his body was so frightened that he backed away several steps.
Liang Du took a closer look, who could it be if it wasn't the little monkey?
Liang Du couldn't help but laugh when he saw this. After the little monkey woke up, he didn't leave yet?
But he didn't care. He looked at the snow that had stopped outside and couldn't help but become interested, so he ignored the little monkey and walked out directly.
At this moment, there was heavy snow covering the mountain, and when he stepped down, his knees were completely gone. However, Liang Du didn't care at all, and instead felt comfortable all over his body.
This heavy snow is quite exciting!
Because even if it snows heavily in the south, it won't be so severe.
Liang Du looked at the vast world at this time, and for some reason he became interested. He just walked to the border this time and stopped flying around.
Thinking of this, he no longer hesitated and strode directly to the northern land of Daxia to garrison the border.
But before he had taken two steps, he heard a few creaking sounds. When he turned around, he saw that it was a little monkey jumping up and down the tree, following behind him.
This little monkey is quite spiritual, and he actually wants to follow me now?
During this moment of confusion, the little monkey looked at Liang Du and stopped, as if he had made some decision, and then his eyes became firm.
Liang Du was stunned when he saw this. All the animality in the little monkey's eyes disappeared, and it seemed that his intelligence was greatly improved.
Could one of my own barbecued rabbits still have this effect?
In other words, is there anything special about the seasonings and wine that have manifested themselves for this little monkey?
Before Liang Du could figure it out, his shoulders suddenly felt heavy and the little guy had stopped on Liang Du's shoulders.
As if sensing his gaze, the little guy grinned at Liang Du.
Oops!
This is really ugly.
However, Liang Du looked at this little monkey who was not afraid of him and had developed intelligence, and felt that this was fate.
After all, it was the little monkey's luck to meet him, eat the hare, and drink his wine.
"Okay, originally, I planned to go alone on this trip to the North, but now it's good to have a companion."
The monkey seemed to understand Liang Du's words and was very excited. He couldn't help grinning and showing his teeth, looking very happy.
Okay, let's go!
Only one person and one monkey were seen, and the space between heaven and earth was gradually getting further and further away.
Only the rising sun was left, blocked by the mountains and forests.
Beidi, Liang Du is here!
…
Mountains are closed due to snow.
This should be difficult to see in the South.
At this moment, a scholar, wearing a thin gown, seemed a little out of place in such an environment.
On such a cold day, this scholar is dressed like this. It can only be said that he is not simple.
Moreover, there is a monkey lying on his shoulder, which makes it even more strange.
Fortunately, the mountains were covered with heavy snow at this time, and there were very few people around, so no one paid much attention to this situation.
"I didn't expect you, a little monkey, to be capable of this!"
It turns out that wandering spirits are more likely to breed in the deep mountains and old forests. In this era, some poor families, especially in the north, are experiencing much turmoil.
During the war, there were countless people who fled into the mountains and had accidents.
Liang Du didn't expect that the little monkey he caught because of fate actually had special powers——
It can suck wandering souls.
This time, its performance was really beyond his expectation. He even carefully explored the little monkey's body, and then discovered some clues.
Just like the drop of blood essence that the old dragon once gave to the demon python, the blood in this little monkey's body is also somewhat unusual.
It's just that Liang Du doesn't know much about this aspect, so he can't specifically judge what this is.
Liang Du was only surprised by this situation for a moment, and then put the matter behind him.
So what if the great sage has the bloodline of the demon clan? Just treat it as a pet.
Moreover, in order to satisfy his own evil taste, Liang Du also specially gave the little monkey a name.
Great Sage.
In the past few days, I don’t know whether the Great Sage mutated following Liang Du, or whether the Great Sage awakened to his own bloodline after drinking that day.
Anyway, Liang Du felt that the Monkey King was getting smarter and smarter, but after it became smarter, it might have noticed his own attitude and became more relaxed.
Sometimes, the great sage dared to grab a snowball and throw it at Liang Du, baring his teeth and laughing.
Liang Du looked at it like a child and was not angry. Instead, he felt that it was good to have an extra companion on this journey.
However, since the last time he drank, the monkey liked drinking more and more, and would raise his hand to indicate that he wanted to drink every day.
This monkey is extremely smart when it wants to drink. I wonder if it will become an alcoholic after it succeeds in cultivation?
Although Liang Du said this in his heart, every time Liang Du drank, he would never forget to pour a glass for the Great Sage.
This monkey's drinking capacity is getting better and better now, and he is no longer the monkey who drinks just one cup.
Along the way, as the Great Sage absorbed more and more wandering souls, Liang Du discovered that the monkey's power was getting stronger and stronger.
At first, Liang Du was worried that this monkey would be contaminated with karma like other blood-cultivating demon clans.
However, after careful inspection, he found that the aura of the Great Sage was just like that of Hu Fei, an upright and pure demon.
As a result, Liang Du no longer cared about the Great Sage sucking wandering souls, and he didn't know what specific species the Great Sage was.
"Come on, Great Sage, we are going out of the woods today, please don't cause trouble."
When the Great Sage heard this, he nodded to show that he understood, and then he squatted quietly on Liang Du's shoulder.
This is the first important border town that Liang Du saw after entering the Northland.
It can be said that the city gate soldiers here patrol more closely than those in Yongning Mansion. After all, this is the northern border!
Liang Du appeared in front of the city gate and immediately attracted the attention of the soldiers guarding the city. Wearing a thin long gown, the scholar looked like he had some ability.
After all, how can ordinary people dare to dress like this in this kind of weather? Aren't they afraid of dying from the cold?
Moreover, there is a monkey riding on the scholar's shoulders, making it even more mysterious.
But in the end, Liang Du entered the city gate very smoothly. After all, Du Zhishan greeted him and Gu Shu personally handed out the border road discs.
There will naturally be no problems when entering the city.
Moreover, Du Zhishan also said that if he encounters a situation that cannot be explained clearly, as long as he takes out the token that Daxia specially gave him last time, all misunderstandings will be resolved.
After Liang Du entered the city, the soldiers guarding the city couldn't help but ask their captain, "Captain, this scholar is obviously extraordinary. How come he was allowed to enter the city so easily?"
The captain glanced at the soldier and said, "Do you know why you are the leading soldier and I am the captain?
As for your tricks, you still need to practice.
Okay, don’t be poor. Although there are few people entering the city now, news has come from the border here, so we should be more careful."
In the end, the captain did not explain why he let Liang Du enter the city easily, but he knew in his heart that he had only seen this kind of uprightness among border generals.
Anyway, this scholar is not ordinary, and there will be no problems. He is not from Daxia, how can he be so courageous?
This scholar might be the person sent by the court to check the situation at the border. After all, the situation at the border is tense now, so it would be better for him to understand better.
It would be best if the imperial court then issued an order to annihilate all those barbarians, so that they would not be able to roam around outside the customs and make people upset.
After Liang Du entered the city, he didn't know what the soldiers guarding the city were saying about him. The city seemed a little quiet now.
However, the snow has been cleared from the door of every house, but the weather is still cold, and few people are willing to go out.
Liang Du was actually a little strange in his heart. It was clear that all the merchants in the south knew that the war was about to start in the north. Why was it that this place was considered a forward position, but there was still no trace of tension?
Is this the heroic spirit of the Northlanders, who do not care about the impending war at all?
Liang Du couldn't help but feel curious, and then he walked directly into an alley. Not long after, a tavern appeared in front of him.
The tavern architecture here can also give people a sense of rough beauty.
In front of the tavern, there is just a cloth banner with the word "wine" written on it, and nothing else.
There is a thick curtain hanging at the door. If it weren't for a strong wind, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to blow it.
The Great Sage could smell the aroma of wine at this time and couldn't help but feel a little excited. Liang Du directly patted him on the head.
"Don't move. Remember what I said before. Just be quiet later and I'll give you a drink tonight. Now you have to be honest and don't move around."
After saying that, he ignored the Great Sage's reaction. Anyway, he knew that the Great Sage would definitely understand what he said, and there was no need to worry about it being messy.
At this time, Liang Du opened the curtain and walked directly into the tavern. In an instant, a wave of sound came.
Oops!
I didn't expect that there were so many people in this tavern. This situation was really unexpected.
However, the sound of Liang Du entering the door also temporarily stopped the movement in the tavern.
Everyone turned to look at Liang Du, and then turned back to continue drinking.
The person who came in was a scholar who seemed not to be trifled with, so wasn't he looking for trouble if he kept staring at him?
The men from the North are both coarse and fine, bold and bold, but they are not reckless either.
Who can offend other people for no reason?
Liang Du saw that there was still an empty seat in the tavern, so he walked over.
As soon as he sat down, a waiter came over.
"Sir, what do you want?"
Liang Du had already noticed what was happening on the other tables. How was it like in the south, with dishes after dishes?
This is basically a basin.
This weight is actually a bit too real.
"Bring me a pot of wine and a pot of beef!"
"A bowl of beef?"
When the waiter heard this, his eyes widened.
Although the scholar's long gown is thin in this weather, one can tell that his martial arts skills are certainly not low and certainly not simple.
However, he didn't expect that this scholar would have such a big appetite and asked for a bowl of beef.
He couldn't help but speak out again, confirmed it once, and left after receiving a positive answer from Liang Du.
But he couldn't help but say in his heart -
What a man!
As expected, appearances are not as good as appearances. This thin body seems to contain a lot of strength, after all, it eats so much.
Liang Du didn't pay attention to this, and the Great Sage also behaved more honestly at this time.
There are indeed many generous and tragic people in the North.
Taking their overall martial arts cultivation as an example, it is indeed much better than the average level in Yongning Prefecture and other places.
But Liang Du also expressed his understanding of this. After all, there are many wars in the border areas, martial arts is popular here, and there is nothing wrong with the martial arts atmosphere being stronger.
In fact, the people in the tavern also focused part of their attention on Liang Du at first.
But after a while, there was no movement from Liang Du, and these people began to resume their previous conversation.
Then, Liang Du heard the sound of "the food is here", and then saw the waiter coming over with a bottle of wine and a tank of beef on the tray.
Is this a pot of beef?
Are you kidding me?
When Liang Du saw the beef, he finally understood the waiter's behavior and why he asked him twice what dish he ordered.
Because this is not a basin, it is obviously a vat.
The people in the North are too down-to-earth. A pot of beef together is called a plate, and this pot is called a pot, right?
Fortunately, Liang Du could perfectly control his facial expressions, so others didn't notice anything unusual about him at this time, otherwise they would have laughed out loud.
Liang Du looked at the vat of meat in front of him and sighed secretly. He had made a mistake, so he had to finish it on his knees.
At this time, Liang Du poured himself a glass of wine, picked up a piece of beef, and stuffed it directly into his mouth.
The Great Sage stared at him closely. If Liang Du had not ordered it outside the door, I am afraid that due to its foodie nature, it would have already taken the beef and gnawed it.
However, a foodie is a foodie after all, and even if he abides by the rules, this monkey can't help but drool.
Liang Du was also a little helpless about this. He couldn't let the monkey continue to drool. It really made people feel that he was abusing it.
Therefore, Liang Du quickly picked up a large piece of beef and placed it on the other corner of the table.
The great sage is so smart, how could he not know what Liang Du meant?
So it jumped down from Liang Du's shoulder, took a bite of beef, and then looked intoxicated.
This foodie.
Liang Du couldn't help but laughed and cursed again.
Fortunately, because Liang Du didn't do anything strange just now, not many people were staring at them at this time.
The others have continued to chat and talk as before.
"Have you heard? The merchants from the south have been persuaded by the government to return before Haishan. It seems that this time, we are really going to have a war."
"Just fight, and those barbarians will bully the weak and fear the strong. According to what I say, they should be completely disabled to save them from jumping around."
"Don't worry, you may be able to achieve your goal this time. The court is determined to teach this barbarian a lesson.
You don’t know yet, but I heard that the court has ordered several elite divisions and are now sending troops to support us.”
"Really? That's a really good thing.
I asked those people in Beitou Mountain why they have been so active in going to the garrison to show off their faces recently. It turns out that it is because the imperial court wants to have a big fight with the barbarians."
"When you mentioned this, the leader of Beitou Mountain really didn't say, hero!
We work openly and openly. What was our Beitou Mountain like a few months ago?
What a mess!
They are just a group of bandits who bully the weak and fear the strong.
When the officials come, they hide in the mountains and cannot come out. When the officials leave, they continue to harm the people of the surrounding Northland.
However, since the current leader single-handedly attacked Beitou Mountain and subdued the green forests on the mountain, they have never done anything immoral again.
They even served as scouts for the northern border and killed many barbarians.
Businessmen no longer have to worry about being robbed on the way, because Beitou Mountain has already scanned the surrounding area."
"That's right, Beitou Mountain is completely different now, but no one in the leader of Beitou Mountain really knows what he looks like.
I heard that that time, he entered the military camp alone and visited the guard general at that time. I don’t know how he made the border troops trust them."
"Why do you care so much? Anyway, what we do in Beitoushan now is the business of men. This is worthy of admiration."
Speaking of this, the guests at several tables in the tavern became more and more excited as they talked. Liang Du couldn't help but shake his head. Shouldn't the people be afraid every time they chat or fight?
How come when they arrive in the North, these men are eager to fight now, so are they confident enough to educate the barbarians!?
At this moment, a person suddenly ran in from outside the door, his face full of excitement.
"The troops supported by the imperial court have arrived!"
"What?"
"So fast?"
"Then you have to go take a look quickly."
Liang Du did not move, but his perception instantly saw the situation at the city gate.
After he saw who was leading the army, he couldn't help but be a little surprised. It was such a coincidence?
Because the person leading the army this time was an acquaintance of his.
