In midsummer, the snow in Kunlun Mountain gradually melts, and the accumulated water gathers into small streams, flowing rapidly down from the top of the mountain.
The vegetation, which had been buried under snow for several months, was full of life again, and there was a sense of spring in the mountains.
Beside the stream, a tall black bear was lying there, with blood flowing from it.
I saw Lin Ze holding a sharp dagger, neatly cutting off a large piece of meat from the black bear, putting it into the stream to clean, then applying the spices he brought with him, and carefully setting it on the already lit fire.
above.
It wasn't until all the large pieces of meat from the black bear were cut off that Lin Ze stopped his hand and concentrated on adding firewood to the fire. He turned the meat over from time to time, and soon a strong smell of meat came out.
Shao Siming sat on the bluestone beside him, holding his chin in his hands, staring at the roasted animal meat seriously, swallowing from time to time.
It's not because she's hungry, but because she's been addicted to Lin Ze's delicious food for the past half month, and that's why she's so eager.
Since half a month ago, Lin Ze and his wife had to abandon their horses and hike into the Kunlun Mountains. They could no longer find a wine shop or any other place. They had to rely on Lin Ze to go out hunting to replenish food.
Of course, with Shao Siming here, Lin Ze can hunt the monsters in the mountains and forests with confidence, without having to worry about being chased by invincible monsters.
Half an hour later, Lin Ze picked up a large piece of roasted, golden animal meat and handed it to Young Siming.
Shao Siming's eyes shone brightly and he took it with both hands, not caring that the meat was still very hot and couldn't wait to eat it.
Lin Ze just smiled and picked up another large piece of animal meat. He seemed to be doing it slowly, but in fact he chewed up the fragrant meat very quickly and swallowed it into his belly.
While eating, Shao Siming asked vaguely: "Lin Ze, how long until we reach Kunlun Dao Palace?"
Lin Ze passed through Xiaojin and was already familiar with the route of Kunlun Dao Palace. He said calmly: "We have arrived at the foot of the main peak of Kunlun Mountain. After eating this meal, we will hurry up and hurry up. We will probably reach the Dao Palace before dark.
."
Shao Siming stuffed the last piece of meat from his hand into his mouth, puffed out his cheeks and said, "It's finally here. My brother told me that this trip would be tiring, but I didn't expect it to be so tiring. When we get here, we need to take a good rest.
"
Lin Ze just smiled, reached out and picked up another large piece of animal meat and handed it over.
Lin Ze had talked a lot about Shao Siming along the way. He knew that her brother Da Siming, whom she often mentioned, was not a strong master, but it was said that most strong masters could not stand him.
Shao Siming took it naturally and continued to devour it.
Halfway through the barbecue, Shao Siming's expression suddenly changed, he put the barbecue down, stood up suddenly, tightened his body, and looked in the direction of the mountain with his right hand flowing.
Lin Ze's first reaction was that a powerful enemy was coming.
Twenty breaths later, under Lin Ze's senses, he felt an extremely terrifying aura roaring from the distance.
Instead, Lin Ze settled down. Since he came down from the mountain, he must be from the Dao Palace. Maybe he happened to be passing by for something.
Even if he is seen by a strong man from the Dao Palace, Lin Ze is not worried that it will be detrimental to him. Apart from anything else, as the registered disciple of the master of the Dao Palace, it is more than enough to save his life.
The visitor landed directly in front of Lin Ze and said with a loud smile: "Sir, I haven't seen you for many years, but you still have the same grace and grace. The grace of becoming a Taoist in the past makes me miss you endlessly."
Lin Ze also smiled and replied: "It turns out to be Elder Xuan Ming. I haven't seen him for several years. It's such a coincidence that we meet here."
Xuan Ming shook his head and said: "It's not a coincidence. The old Taoist had already known that the sage was coming to the Taoist Palace. He had been waiting for many days and still hadn't seen the sage, so he came down to greet him."
Lin Ze couldn't help but be moved when he heard the words: "With the dignity of Elder Xuanming, I came down the mountain to greet you, but it's a bit embarrassing."
Xuan Ming said with a look of confusion: "Why did the sage say this? You must know that the sage helped me achieve enlightenment back then, just like my parents again. If the Supreme Elder and the Palace Master hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted to go down the mountain and become the protector of the sage."
People only hope that when the sages become enlightened, the old Taoists will be able to see the scenery of martial arts at a higher level."
Lin Ze solemnly said: "Elder Xuanming is very grateful. The road to martial arts is long and difficult. I dare not say that my future achievements will be higher than those of the elder."
Xuan Ming laughed loudly: "Sages, don't be humble. The sages from the Old Taoist Temple traveled thousands of miles to the Taoist Palace. They must be physically and mentally exhausted. It's better to follow the old Taoist to the mountain to rest first, and talk about the past another day."
Lin Ze smiled and replied: "That would be disrespectful."
Lin Ze turned his head, only to find that Shao Siming's right hand was still dancing. He couldn't help but patted his forehead and said angrily: "I almost forgot to introduce to Elder Xuan Ming that this is Miss Shao Siming."
Then he said to Shao Siming: "This is Elder Xuanming from the Dao Palace. He is an old acquaintance of mine, not an enemy. Girl, put away the weapons. We can enter the Dao Palace now."
When Shao Siming heard this, she remained silent and put the streamer into her sleeves, but her body was still tense. The Xuan Ming in front of her gave her such a sense of danger that she could not relax at all.
On the other hand, Xuan Ming looked at Young Siming carefully, first showing a look of surprise, then showing a look of regret, and sighed: "What a great talent, but it's a pity that it was wasted. I'm afraid this little girl has no hope of advancing to the Grandmaster realm in this life.
"
Lin Ze couldn't help but ask after hearing this: "Elder Xuanming, why is this? It stands to reason that a sixth-grade warrior at such an age is most likely to advance to the rank of grandmaster."
Xuan Ming shook his head: "I don't know what this little girl has gone through. Her martial arts cultivation was achieved by overdrawing her potential and practicing in a very short period of time. Now her potential has been exhausted and she can only stay in the sixth level for the rest of her life.
It’s hard to go any further.”
"Oh, by the way, don't look at her as she is about the same age as you. She is actually older than you, but her entire figure and appearance are still at the time when she made her breakthrough."
Lin Ze suddenly understood and looked at Shao Siming with a little pity.
Shao Siming looked like a cat with exploding fur. A stream of light whizzed towards Lin Ze, filled with murderous intent, but was gently blocked by Xuan Ming.
Xuan Ming said with a cold expression: "Young lady is too arrogant. She dares to attack the sage in front of the old master. You are only at the sixth level of martial arts. Maybe others will be afraid of you, but the old master is not afraid of you."
Shao Siming turned a deaf ear and just said viciously to Lin Ze: "I don't like the look in your eyes just now. I advise you not to look at me like that again, otherwise sooner or later, I will kill you."
Seeing that Shao Siming dared to threaten Lin Ze, Xuan Ming couldn't help but snorted coldly and knocked her back three steps.
Lin Ze said quickly: "Elder Xuanming is merciful. This matter is indeed my fault. I apologize to Miss Siming."
Lin Ze cursed himself in his heart: He has really lost his mind. A sixth-grade peak master is almost the top figure in this world. Why do he need your sympathy?
Shao Siming had a cold face and put away the streamer without saying a word.
After a while, Shao Siming said softly: "I was too impulsive. You didn't mean any harm."
Lin Ze just smiled slightly, turned around and said to Elder Xuanming: "Elder Xuanming, let's enter the Dao Palace first."
Xuan Ming nodded slightly, grabbed one with one hand, jumped into the sky, flew straight into the sky, and flew towards the Taoist palace on the top of the mountain.
