Immortality: Starting from meeting the fox girl

Chapter 47 Mountain Stream
  Qing Ming's fox fire was burning in the center of the cave, and the temperature in the cave gradually increased.

Yi Sulan was sitting there leaning on the stone wall, wearing a plain white skirt, like a blooming hibiscus, hazy and carefree. In this dim cave, through the fox fire, you could see that the plain white skirt was wrapped in it. Her graceful and graceful body.

Lu Chenran rested his head on her knees and slept soundly.

But his Qiqiao Yinshen could detect Aunt Yisu's gentle movements, and he could still feel her body temperature even through her cold clothes.

Like a traveler who has been trekking in the ice and snow for a long time, without any goal in mind, full of loneliness and exhaustion, he finally found a wooden house with a fireplace under the heavy snow.

The snoring of Hushan God kept coming to my ears.

Yi Su didn't make any unnecessary moves, she just stared at his face tenderly.

He stayed like this until dawn.

It stopped snowing all night long.

Lu Chenran slowly opened his eyes and looked out of the cave. The snow that fell last night almost blocked the entrance of the cave, leaving only a small hole.

Everything around him was extremely quiet, as if he could hear 'it' slowly waking up.

He stretched, yawned, and greeted the sleepy Xiao An.

The title page of the golden book slowly appeared in my mind, and the lines of writing floated faintly:

[Stone wall: (1/1)]

[Joining Pear Blossom Peng: (2/2)]

[Becoming acquainted with the God of Hushan and Hushan: (23/30)]

【Befriending Moth Wings: (6/50)】

[Being connected with the pine branches in the north: (3/100)]

[Befriending Sword Water Dragon Yin: (17/365)]

[Befriending the Northern Snow Fox: (3027/3300)]

On the title page of the Golden Book, which belongs to Lihua Peng and Shibi, there are writings quietly emerging:
  [Befriending a pear tree, it can bloom flowers at odd times, and acquire the flower-stimulating technique (elementary level)]

[Join the stone wall and obtain the stone dispelling technique (elementary level)]

【.】

Another two interesting and strange tricks.

It was quite different from what Lu Chenran had guessed, but after this night of suffering, his need for the ability to control fire spells became stronger and stronger. If his aunt hadn't been vigilant by his side, he might have caught the cold. .
  The snow fox curled up in the pear flower canopy and fell asleep soundly. Lu Chenran stroked the snow fox's tail with some distress.

Then he took Xiao An's little hand and led the Tiger Mountain God out of the cave, heading deeper along the unfrozen mountain stream.

Stepping on the snow, you can smell the birds chirping like piccolos, and your eyes are filled with silver, and a winding path appears in front of you.

The fragrance then slowly soaks in, like the fragrance of plum blossoms.

This mountain road seems to be a completely different world from last night.

The mountain is not high, and there are no steep peaks, but it is vast. Now it is decorated with long snow clothes, just like a graceful beauty blooming with youth.

Xiao An bounced all the way, looking left and right, showing his childlike nature, and walked forward for a few dozen feet, then blinked and said with some confusion:

"Mr. Big, where is the cave we stayed in last night?"

"Why can't Xiao An see it?"

"."

Just as Lu Chenran was about to lift his feet, he was suddenly startled and vaguely aware of it, so he turned back and looked in the direction of the stone wall:

The mountain walls on both sides are as straight as pine trees, so are there any depressions?

And where is the big lentil-shaped hole?

——Only the red book on the stone wall stood there upright.

Lu Chenran was stunned for a moment, and then he took a breath, with a look of gratitude on his face. He bowed towards the red calligraphy on the stone wall and said deeply:
  "Mr. Xie took Lu in for one night."

"."

Taohua Village is a remote mountain village located at the westernmost end of Jiamu County, adjacent to Xiaohe County.

Because the place is between two mountains, transportation is very inconvenient, but there are quite a lot of young and middle-aged people in the village, and because the place is remote, it is rare to encounter bandits and bandits who rob homes and houses, so the life is quite fulfilling.

An old man was leading a dog and carrying a stick, searching for frozen winter rabbits all over the mountains and fields.

It snowed heavily last night and the wind blew fiercely. Judging from past experience, many rabbits may freeze to death.

The old man used his stick to knock here and there, and half an hour passed without catching any of them.

"Woof-woo, woof-"

Suddenly, the yellow dog held by the old man started barking wildly, and then its tail was caught in the middle of the buttocks. It whimpered and backed away. It was so strong that it actually pulled the old man back.

Years of experience told the old man that there must be a ferocious beast near the village.

It's winter, and the mountains are blocked by heavy snow. Those beasts on the mountains can't find anything to eat. They're afraid they'll go down the mountain to eat people because they're hungry.
  Thinking this, the old man walked quickly towards the village and shouted:

"Everyone, watch your chickens and ducks, I'm afraid some beasts may come down the mountain!"

"."     Through the throat, many young men rushed over from the house with shovels and hoes in their hands.

"Woof-woo-woo-"

It seemed that because there were so many people behind him, the yellow dog became more courageous. He bared his teeth, stared fiercely ahead, and kept roaring.

Soon.

A huge figure slowly appeared in front of everyone. Looking at the nearly three-foot-long snow tiger, all the villagers took a breath:
  "hiss--"

"Oh my God, this big white insect is probably going to become a sperm."

"Go and get someone to bring the bow."

"If this long insect pounces in, dozens of people won't be enough to bite it."

A tense atmosphere gradually filled the Peach Blossom Village.

In a remote place like this, few outsiders come. Generally, there are fences outside the villages to guard against bandits and wolves.

"Fellow folks, don't be afraid, it won't hurt anyone."

"We want to go to the mountain over there. From the map I can only borrow it from this village."

At this moment, a voice came from a distance.

All the villagers looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe that voice or not.

I have heard many rumors about tigers catching people and acting as maroons. Who can guarantee whether the human voice came from the maroons?
  Not long after, as the big white insect got closer and closer, the villagers also saw clearly who was coming.

A young man dressed in fox fur, carrying a baggage on his back, holding a porcelain doll in his left hand, followed by the three-foot-long insect, slowly walked towards the village.

The old man stared at Lu Chenran's feet carefully. When he saw the shadows of the man and the girl, he felt relieved and reminded him kindly:

"Young master, you'd better go back. That mountain can eat people. None of us locals will go up there."

The fence was not open, so the old man spoke out through the fence.

"Oh? Mountains eat people? Why is that?"

"I don't know if the young master, who has been passed down from generation to generation in the village, can keep that big insect away from the village."

"Tiger-kun, go over there."

Hushan God opened his mouth, then swung his tail and walked away, lying on the snow.

Seeing this scene, everyone in the village opened their mouths in surprise.

After living for so many years, this is the first time I have seen such a strange thing.

"Fellow, can you let me and Tong'er go in and sit down? I'm a little tired from the journey. I hope I can stay overnight."

"."

The people in the village looked at each other. The old man hesitated for a moment and then said:

"Tuwa, go and open the door for this young man."

"."

Lu Chenran quickly bowed his hands and thanked:

"Thank you so much, fellow folks, thank you."

creak-

The rolling log holding up the fence was removed, and the door was pushed open.

"Sir, where are you from?"

The old man stepped forward tentatively, deliberately keeping a certain distance from Lu Chenran, and asked.

Lu Chenran turned around, pointed behind him, and said:

"From the mountain over there, follow the mountain stream."

"Ah? That mountain stream? So... is the young master feeling uncomfortable?"

The old man's expression was obviously a bit strange, and he looked at him carefully up and down.

"No? What's wrong, fellow villager? I hear what you mean, is there something wrong with the mountain stream?"

"There's nothing wrong with the mountain stream, it's just the water."

"water?"

"Yes, the locals all know that the water in that mountain stream is not drinkable."

"What's the reason for this?"

"If you keep drinking water from that mountain stream, you will die of thirst."
