Volume Two, Chapter 42, Meeting an Acquaintance Again
The severe wind and snow that lasted for many days has stopped, and the entire Northern Wasteland has become a world of snow.
As far as the eye can see, there is a vast expanse of white, with only the occasional undulating soil slope, or a lonely small tree covered with frost, making the scenery no longer monotonous.
The wilderness covered with white snow is pale, monotonous, and cold, like a silent sea.

Baili Ming and Zhou Jiang, one is flying with a sword and the other is soaring with wings, like two small boats drifting on the sea, alone.
In this harsh environment, even though the two of them were well-educated monks, they were exhausted from traveling continuously.
At this moment, the two of them faintly saw a dozen white mushroom-like yurts in the distance, looming in the vast white wasteland.
Fortunately, the smoke rising from the camp pointed the way to Bai Liming and General Zhou.
The two fell to the ground not far from the camp. In order not to cause panic, Bai Liming cast an illusion spell on General Zhou to make him look like a normal person.
The two of them stepped on the snow up to their knees, one foot deep and one foot shallow, approaching the camp.
At this time, someone in the camp discovered them, and not long after, an old man led several middle-aged men to greet them.
Bailiming walked closer, put his right hand on his chest, bowed and saluted:
"Old man, we are merchants collecting herbs in the Northern Wilderness. We are exhausted from traveling all the way. Can we take a rest here and ask for a bowl of hot tea? It would be better if we have something to eat. We will pay for it."
As he spoke, he took out a heavy piece of silver and handed it over.
When the old man saw that there were only two of them and they didn't bring any weapons, he relaxed his vigilance.
After seeing the ingot of silver again, a bright smile broke out on his face, and he laughed loudly:
"Welcome, two guests from afar. I will provide you with unused tents, delicious roast mutton and pure kumiss. Please feel free to rest here."
Then, he arranged for someone to lead Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang to an empty tent.
This is a small tribe. There are about 20 people living in the camp, four generations living under the same roof, more men than women.
Not long after, a girl walked into the tent carrying a tray.
Although this young girl is wearing a thick lambskin robe, her fit and youthful figure cannot be concealed.
The girl had jet-black hair, a peach-cheeked smile, and an aura of lightness. While placing the food, she quietly looked at Baili Ming and Zhou Jiang from the corners of her eyes.
Although Bai Liming is also dressed like a herdsman in the Northern Wilderness, he has a handsome face, long eyebrows like willows, and a body like a jade tree. He looks elegant and extraordinary, like a handsome young man.
The girl looked more at Bai Liming, her cheeks were slightly red, and she was a little shy, but she was not restrained.
On the contrary, she had the unique boldness of the Beihuang girl, with a smile on her face and said enthusiastically:
"My name is Bao Leer. This is my brother's tent. He happens to be away. You can just stay here without any worries."
Baili Ming didn't want to be rude and asked with a cheerful smile:
"Thank you very much, but it's freezing cold today. What is your brother doing out there?"
Hearing this, the girl showed pride on her face and said:
"My brother was selected by the shepherd of this ranch and was recruited for training. The next step will be to train him to become a personal guard. This is a good job that many people can only dream of."
Then, a look of worry appeared on her sunny face again:
"Alas, my brother has been away for 78 days, and he has not sent a letter to say he is safe. I wonder how he is doing at the shepherd's place."
Bailiming said a few words of comfort, and the girl became happy again.
She was like a dancing butterfly, moving in and out, filling the table with food.
Say, welcome to download -
1 roasted whole lamb, 1 plate of blood sausage, 1 plate of milk skin, and two pots of kumiss.
Although the dishes are simple, the portions are sufficient. The two of us devoured the food and our mouths were full of oil.
Then, Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang picked up the kumiss and took a swig of it at the same time. The liquid exuded a pure milk aroma, moderately sweet and sour, and was mellow and refreshing. It slowly passed through the lips and teeth and entered the throat.
Suddenly, Bailiming felt a spiciness rush straight to the tip of his nose, followed by a strong milky flavor and a touch of sweetness lingering in his throat, leaving a lingering aftertaste.
After eating and drinking, Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang guarded the brazier and communicated quietly.
The girl Baoleer first brought a pot of hot milk tea, and the first one added cow dung to the brazier. By the way, she chatted with the two of them for a few words if they had nothing to say.
Seeing the girl's busy figure and her eyes lingering on Bai Liming, Zhou Jiang took advantage of the girl to leave and teased:
"Baili, this Baoler is interested in you. You are really lucky."
Baili Ming was speechless and rolled his eyes at Zhou Jiang.
Zhou Jiang chuckled and continued to joke:
"Ha, are you afraid that Tan Zhenzhen will be jealous?"
Hearing this, Baili Ming's expression froze and he was silent for a moment. Under the doubtful and concerned eyes of General Zhou, he smiled bitterly and said:
"We have separated, and she is now with Bian Zhangji."
Zhou Jiang asked in surprise:
"What? She actually abandoned you and went to be with the captain and that insidious guy. Why is that?"
Baili Ming said bitterly:
"Because my golden elixir was destroyed, she felt that my path of cultivation would be cut off and I would have no future, so..."
Zhou Jiang said angrily:
"Snobbish, too snobbish, you might as well separate, otherwise you will suffer greater losses sooner or later."
Baili Ming sighed and said calmly:

"The giant ships only come for the sake of benefit, and the small boats also come for the sake of fame. The world is bustling, all for the benefit of the going. The world is bustling, all for the benefit of the come."
After a few breaths of silence, he continued:
"I don't blame her, but I won't forgive her either."
General Zhou cursed Tan Zhenzhen again in his heart, then he rolled his eyes, stared at the door of the tent, and whispered:
"Baili, how about you become a son-in-law here? This Baoler will definitely not refuse."
Baili Ming prepared to fight, but Zhou Jiang hurriedly held his head.
At this time, the tent door opened, and Baoler walked in. Looking at the two people having fun, he covered his mouth and smiled...
After one day of repairing, the two of them bid farewell to the small tribe in high spirits and continued to move forward under Baoler's reluctant eyes.
After the two people walked leisurely for half a day, they suddenly found a team of cavalry galloping on the snow.
However, the few young men dressed as herdsmen in the middle looked like new recruits. They laughed excitedly and were scolded by the leader.
Bailiming asked General Zhou curiously:
"At this time of year, it's freezing cold and the place is remote. What is this cavalry doing here?"
Zhou Jiang shook his head and said that he didn't know, but when he thought of Haikou he had boasted about before, he said:
"I'll follow you and take a look."
Without waiting for Baili Ming to reply, he transformed into a golden eagle, flew high into the sky, and explored the direction of the cavalry's advance.
Not long after, Zhou Jiang fluttered his wings and returned, saying with a strange expression:
"There is a quite large camp in the mountain col ahead. There are many people there, and there are knights from the ghost side guarding the outside. I didn't dare to get too close and returned."
Baili Ming originally wanted to go around and avoid causing trouble, but after thinking about it, he felt that there was something fishy about the matter, so he decided to go and investigate.
Zhou Jiang said with some worry:
"There must be monks in the camp. How can we avoid their vigilance?"
Bailiming pondered for a moment and then said:
"My natal spiritual creature can create illusions and block people's perception. It will be no problem to sneak in. As long as we don't encounter monks at the Perfection Realm or above, we should be fine."
The two of them hid their whereabouts and quietly approached the camp.
There was a lot of excitement in the mountain col. Among Team 5 stationed there were knights from the Onifa clan, soldiers from the demon clan, and wizards from Tiandao Temple taking command.
With the concerted efforts of soldiers from all races, many demonic beasts whose strength was in the realm of enlightenment and above were tied into rice dumplings, lifted up together, and transported to a cave on the mountainside.
Bai Liming and Zhou Jiang watched with some confusion, not knowing what they were doing.
Looking at the cave, the two of them did not hesitate at all. Under the wrapping of the spiritual scroll, they hid their figures and touched it.
This is a huge cave. After entering it, the two people hide in the shadows on the edge of the cave wall and look forward.
I actually found a few acquaintances!
An acquaintance I met on the top of Baoshan Mountain that day!
