Hai Ping couldn't help but slap Master Huang on the head. The guy was chirping all the way and he already wanted to fix him. He blew his beard and glared and cursed:
"You are still frizzy at such an old age, how do you cultivate?!"
After scolding, he explained:
"This long distance is not suitable for camping. Even I can't bear the cold on the mountain. I can't travel at night. I'll leave early tomorrow morning!"
Master Huang said oh, and obediently went to help Jiang Xiaoming - there was no way, among the five people and one beast in the group, Hai Ping was the senior, Zhang Bao'er and Cai'er were the master and mistress respectively, except for Jiang Xiaoming, they were of his generation
lowest.
Zhang Baoer, who was wearing a fur coat, looked at the river carrying ice cubes on the side. Suddenly his eyes lit up. He immediately exhaled a white breath, rubbed his hands and took out a few wooden cups, then filled them with juice and slowed down the water.
After a short time, he became happy and saw that the juice in the wooden cup was freezing at a speed visible to the naked eye.
After thinking about it, he took out some homemade cream and some fruits that he thought tasted good, put them in, stirred them well... and then started waiting.
"Master, what is this?!"
Master Huang ran over to ask curiously after finishing his work. Zhang Baoer smiled mysteriously and said:
"Everyone is in for a treat today!"
After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Cai'er who seemed to be okay in the cold wind, and couldn't help cursing in his heart: Why did you forget the ice cream before? Isn't Cai'er here?
Master Huang's eyes widened, and his heart felt as if he was being scratched by a cat's claws. Although he felt that the contents of these wooden cups were probably delicious, he could not figure it out no matter how much he thought about it.
After a short time, Zhang Baoer poked them with a small spoon and found that although they were not hard yet, they already had a sticky feeling, so he asked Master Huang to pick them up from the water and take them to the animal skins he had just built.
In the tent.
"Eh?!"
Haiping and Jiang Xiaoming have naturally never seen such a thing.
Zhang Baoer was given a wooden spoon, then he took a cup, scooped out the contents and poured it into the unicorn's big mouth.
"Hoo ho!"
Seeing the unicorn's single eye light up, it looked at the remaining wooden cup with evil intentions. The three of them's eyes lit up, and they quickly took a spoonful and stuffed it into their mouths.
"Wow!"
Master Huang gave a big compliment and started fucking vigorously. Hai Ping and Jiang Xiaoming also looked like they were enjoying themselves.
Zhang Baoer ignored the begging Unicorn and sat beside the burning coals, sometimes feeding Cai'er a mouthful and sometimes giving himself a mouthful. He seemed to be reminded of the earth's scorching summer...
"Master!"
The eager Master Huang asked him to open his eyes, then rubbed his hands and asked if he could make another drink for the tooth ceremony.
Zhang Baoer saw that Cai'er's eyes were dull but looking at the empty cup, so he nodded.
This time, he directly made a big basin...
Everyone settled with ice cream for dinner that day. Even the old man Hai Ping couldn't help but drink four or five cups, and then went back with a small half bowl of Feitian without any trouble, saying that he wanted to give Yan Xin and the others a taste.
... He didn't return until midnight. Zhang Baoer couldn't help but feel funny in his heart. This old guy really treated Yan Xin as if he were his own son!
Early on the next morning, everyone broke camp and set off after eating meat porridge. At noon, they set out on the ice and snow area.
Everyone was a monk, and there was Jiang Xiaoming, an indigenous guide, so they kept speeding, either vertically or quickly, heading towards the mountain.
Gradually, I saw more vegetation in front of me. Although it was not much, it was enough to make Zhang Baoer amazed... because there was no vegetation under the mountain, just some grass. On the contrary, there were plants on the colder mountain!
He observed it and found that there was more than one type of vegetation, and there were even dozens of species, and there seemed to be forests high on the mountain. Most of these plants were coniferous, but not all of them. He even saw a silver-clad tree.
A plain broad-leaved tree with very thick leaves.
In the afternoon, before it got dark, the group of people had already arrived in the forest.
Although this forest is not very dense, it covers a huge area. Zhang Baoer, who was riding a unicorn horse, stood up and looked around, but he could not see the end of it.
Jiang Xiaoming was familiar with the roads. After entering the forest, his speed did not slow down. Instead of going straight up, he went up diagonally. After walking for more than ten miles, he finally arrived at a large valley with the sound of gurgling water.
Looking at the smoke in the valley, Zhang Baoer understood that this was a place like a post station and one of the footholds on Tongtian Peak.
Sure enough, when the group went deeper, they saw a series of thatched houses built by humans in the green valley. People's voices also came over, some were talking loudly, and some were whispering and sighing.
When Zhang Baoer and the others passed through the group of thatched houses, they didn't pay much attention, perhaps because they were used to such uninvited guests.
After Jiang Xiaoming met three acquaintances, the group came to a house near the deepest part. Jiang Xiaoming clasped his fists and walked up to a man who was half lying on a bench, dozing, and said:
"Boss Wan!"
"Um...Xiao Ming?! Why are you going up the mountain again? Are your injuries healed?"
Jiang Xiaoming nodded, and then asked if there were any high-class houses available.
Hearing this, the man named Wan showed a look of surprise, and subconsciously looked at Zhang Baoer and others. When his eyes fell on Hai Ping and Master Huang, his pupils couldn't help but shrink, and then he smiled with a smile on his face.
stood up.
"Wansan, I've met senior!"
After some polite greetings, he personally led the people into the depths of the valley and in front of a courtyard.
Zhang Baoer was shocked, because this courtyard is very elegant, not bad compared to the fine houses in some big cities down the mountain, and it has a unique flavor here.
It is surrounded by courtyards like this, but it is very quiet here. Although there are no guards, no one comes to wander around. It seems that the people who can live here are rich or noble - no one dares to come here to disturb.
Before leaving, I received one hundred high-grade spiritual stones with great gratitude - daily rent.
Before going out, he patted his head, looked back and said:
"A few distinguished guests, a Golden Wind Bear was sent down from the mountain this morning. The meat is of excellent quality. I will send it to you after you finish peeling it."
Jiang Xiaoming thanked him, and Wan San was about to go out, but was stopped by Zhang Baoer.
Zhang Baoer glanced at the one-horned horse and nodded towards Master Huang. Master Huang suddenly understood and casually took out another hundred high-grade spiritual stones and gave them to Wan San, saying calmly:
"Bring more, don't overcook it!"
"Yes...yes!"
Wan San didn't forget Zhang Bao'er when he thanked him this time - it was a strange thing for a young man who seemed to only have foundation-building cultivation to come here, and the seniors of the Divine Palace actually acted based on his looks!
Afterwards, he left in a hurry. Just as Zhang Baoer and others were about to enter the house, a burst of hasty footsteps suddenly sounded. He turned around and saw a group of people in white robes led by one person to the yard next door.
Hai Ping's pupils shrank suddenly, and at this moment, the two old ladies with blond hair over there also looked at him from a distance with similar eyes.
Zhang Baoer couldn't help but take a breath of cold air, because Master Huang told him through a message that the two old women who looked like twins were actually masters of Zhenfu.
Immediately afterwards, the person walking in the middle also frowned and looked over. This person was a woman. Although she was only in the middle stage of Nascent Soul, the group was vaguely headed by her.
Because she was covered with a white scarf, her true face could not be seen clearly, but just from her eyes, one could tell that she was a beauty.
Haiping cupped his fists and saluted those two people. Seeing this, the eyes of the two people softened a little, and they also hugged each other, and then the two parties entered their own courtyards.
After everyone sat down in the simply furnished hall and arranged the soundless array, Zhang Baoer looked at the charcoal that was starting to burn, frowned and said:
"Two Zhenfu, one Kongfu, eight late-stage Nascent Souls, guarding one middle-stage Nascent Soul... What a big deal!"
Haiping muttered:
"Just now they also expressed that they have no malicious intent, and that's fine! Let's not have any contact with them in the future if we can."
Hearing this, everyone nodded one after another. Those people looked hasty and wary, and they didn't seem to be easy to get along with.
Not long after, when it was getting dark, Wan San delivered two bear legs and two bear paws.
Zhang Baoer saw that the house was severely closed, so he asked Jiang Xiaoming and Master Huang to set up the barbecue grill in the yard. Unexpectedly, the same group of people came just after the meat was fragrant.
Master Huang was heartbroken when he saw the honey-glazed barbecue that was about to be cooked, because he immediately felt that those people were here to 'rob the meat'.
Sure enough, when the masked woman came in and saw that Zhang Baoer was the leader, her beautiful eyes flashed with surprise and she said bluntly:
"The little girl came here after smelling the fragrance. She has no ill intentions. I wonder if I can ask for a meal to satisfy my craving?"
Zhang Baoer has a headache. The unicorn has a big appetite, and the people on his side are barely able to eat enough. Now this woman actually said that she wants to share the food...
Glancing at the two old women behind her, Zhang Baoer thought for a while and then asked:
"You're welcome, girl. I'll have someone deliver it to you after it's baked."
The dozens of people behind her all had angry eyes when they heard what she said. She said "please" and meant to stay. This ridiculously beautiful boy actually asked them to go back first and deliver them later... It's really unreasonable.
.
Seeing their reactions, Zhang Baoer knew that these people were really powerful. Because he had already agreed and was not rude, they actually felt that he had not done enough.
The woman frowned slightly, then spread her brows, cupped her fists with her delicate hands of ice and jade bones, and said with a smile:
"That's it... I'll thank you in advance and say goodbye, little sister!"
"You're welcome!"
Those people really left, and when they came back and sat down after seeing them off, Master Huang muttered with an unhappy look on his face:
"It would be great if I also had a real house."
This is the truth. If they have two Zhenfu masters here, no matter how much the other party slanders, they should come easily.
Snap!
Haiping slapped him on the head and said angrily:
"I call you greedy! In the future, you should be more careful. After you achieve the true realm or magical powers, you can just shake your hands without opening your mouth, and someone will bring you the delicacies of heaven and earth!"
Master Huang grimaced and shook his head like a rattle.
"How many meals will we have to miss?!"
Zhang Baoer glanced at him with a look of disdain and continued to concentrate on the operation. Then he kept the best parts and let Jiang Xiaoming bring the smaller ones to others.
Seeing that the remaining ones were not enough, he took out some reserved meat from the space ring and threw it on the grill.
…………
A group of people were eating the barbecue that was delivered just now, and almost swallowed their tongues.
One of the two old women who used to angrily said, "That's unreasonable, these meats are inferior meat." Now, she looks like every accomplished person, with her mouth full of grease.
The woman was also eating. She took off her face scarf in surprise. She was indeed stunning, but... her current appearance was very indecent. Before her bulging mouth could deflate, a large piece of Golden Wind Bear's meat appeared again.
She stuffed it into her mouth.
"hateful!"
After eating, she wiped her mouth clean, cursed and stamped her feet:
"This princess is not full yet!"
This is the truth. There wasn't much meat delivered, not to mention there were too many people here. As the master, she looked at the helpless subordinates who were a little soft-hearted and continued to show her "considerate subordinates" way of treating others, so little
How can meat be divided?
An old woman licked her lips, quickly grabbed her, and comforted her with a wry smile:
"Princess...forget it! We have important things to do, and we shouldn't be too busy...Besides, I don't have much meat, so it would be very kind of me to part with it...Although the meat sent is not good, I don't know.
We cannot blame others for our identity! Let’s take one less thing off if we can. It’s not too late to look for him after the matter is settled!”
"Yeah yeah!"
Another old woman nodded in agreement.
"And that man's mount is a beast king, so his status must be high. We..."
"oops!"
The princess yelled and pouted:
"I'm not looking for trouble with him! I'm just here to thank him! Besides, it's also a good thing to spread the word about recognizing a hero by smelling a scent!"
"But if it's someone from a hostile force, that's not good..."
The old woman still wanted to persuade her, but the princess refused to listen and snorted:
"It can't be an enemy! With such a handsome appearance and such magical cooking skills, if he were from the empire, I'm afraid the whole world would already know about him!"
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but nodded. If this person was from the empire, he shouldn't be able to hide it. Such skills would become a very popular figure even in the imperial capital. It's impossible for the palace not to know about it.
So, the princess once again covered herself with a scarf and went out... However, this time only two old women accompanied her.
People came again, and seeing Jiang Xiaoming busy brushing materials, Master Huang had no choice but to reluctantly open the courtyard door.
Seeing someone walking in, Zhang Baoer cursed in his heart and stood up with a forced smile.
"The distinguished guest is here again, and the flowers are shining brightly... Ahem, I wonder what the three friends have to do?!"
"I don't want to be sent as a mission..."
Almost as Zhang Baoer said last time, when she heard the word 'again', the princess couldn't help but blush a little. Fortunately, she had a face towel and no one noticed her.
She bowed politely and said:
"My little sister is here to say thank you...my brother's cooking skills are unparalleled in the world, and my little sister is impressed..."
