White Bone Monkey King

The cabin was not big, and the two men who were in charge of searching the cabin returned to the stove after a while.

They shook their heads at the people who stayed by the stove, indicating that they had not found anything, and then took the hot water handed by their companions and sat down in front of the stove to warm themselves.

This hot water came from boiled snow water.

As for the snow water, there was a lot of snow on the wounded lying on the ground, so it was a local resource.

Because I couldn't understand the language of the men, based on their facial features, I temporarily called the two men Big Beard and Brown Beard.

Big Beard looked the strongest and toughest.

The Brown Beard was the tallest among the men.

The man and woman who took care of the wounded, the man was temporarily called the sick and thin man, and the woman was wearing a headband, so she was temporarily called the Headband Woman.

When the Big Beard and Brown Beard finished a cup of hot water, the vegetable and fish soup on the stove was already cooked.

There were some simple cooking utensils left in the wooden house on the snowy mountain. Boiling snow water once was considered as washing. In addition, these people also brought some bowls and spoons with them, so the problem of eating and drinking water was not difficult for them for the time being.

Seeing that these people even brought their own bowls and spoons, Wutou Jinan watched quietly, wondering in his heart whether these bowls and spoons were found together with the Gewu Xianding? Or were they brought by these people?

These people still did not notice that there was a headless Taoist priest sitting next to them. They held the steaming fish soup and ate dry bread without talking to each other, and they were completely unaware of the extra person around them.

Several people did not notice the existence of Wutou Jinan, so when they sat down to warm themselves by the fire, they almost sat close to Wutou Jinan, but they did not notice anything unusual around them. Instead, they ate vegetables and fish with relish.

A group of people sat around a headless Taoist priest, almost sitting close together, but they were unaware of it. Instead, they ate their food with relish. The scene was horrifying and had an inexplicable strange feeling. The strange atmosphere in the air became more and more pervasive.

Perhaps it was because they had been traveling in the blizzard for too long and starving, which consumed too much physical strength. There was only the sound of bowls and spoons colliding in the wooden house, and no one spoke. After the few people finished their food in silence and replenished their physical strength, they continued to communicate.

But Wutou Jinan couldn't understand what they were saying.

While talking, the few people took care of the injured and unconscious woman on the ground. Looking at their worried faces, Wutou Jinan guessed that they were worried about their companions' injuries and discussed how to avoid the blizzard and how to get out of the snowy mountains to treat their companions.

The wind and snow outside the wooden house were still sobbing and whistling. The ice was frozen for thousands of miles and the weather was cold. Although the wooden house was old and leaked everywhere, it was much warmer than the outside world, blocking most of the wind and snow and heating the wooden house with a fire.

After eating hot food and replenishing their energy, the tired people who had been rushing all the way gradually felt sleepy and their eyelids became heavier. After leaving one person to guard the fire, the others lay down around the fire and fell asleep.

Perhaps because they were too tired, the person in charge of guarding the fire also fell asleep soon.

The few people slept soundly, and even the intensified snowstorm outside the wooden house and the increasingly whistling wind in the cracks failed to wake them up.

That was because they didn't know that there was an extra headless Taoist priest around them. If they knew that this snowy mountain wooden house was not clean and there was a headless Taoist priest sitting among them, they would definitely be scared and lose all their sleepiness and would definitely not be able to sleep.

Crackling, the branches in the fire kept burning, and Wutou Jinan added the dead branches he brought back to the stove from time to time, and the flames in the stove kept jumping.

However, the intensified snowstorm outside the house not only covered the sound of the burning firewood, but also gradually covered the temperature of the fire. The temperature in the wooden house was dropping rapidly.

The people sleeping around the fire curled up and shivered in their sleep, constantly moving closer to the fire.

The bearded man woke up once in a daze. He saw that the fire was still burning vigorously, and thought that his companions on duty had been adding firewood, so he fell asleep again soon.

It was completely dark outside the wooden house at this time, and the temperature was even lower at night. The blizzard was getting more and more violent.

The colder it was, the deeper they slept, and they didn't notice that a headless Taoist priest was walking around among them, checking their belongings.

Seeing that the people were sleeping soundly, the headless Jinan unwrapped the package and checked the fresh ingredients.

In that package of fresh ingredients, there were all kinds of animals on the road, fish in the water, and birds in the sky, and the food was richly stored.

But the most valuable thing was that there were fresh vegetables and fruits in winter!

After checking, Wutou Jinan found that although the ingredients had been frozen due to the weather, the thickness of the ice showed that they were freshly frozen. The fish still smelled fishy, ​​and the frozen leaves were not completely frozen and crispy...

So many rich ingredients, including those in the sky, underground, and water, as well as fruits and vegetables, could not be produced in one place. Fresh fruits and vegetables alone could not be grown in this season!

All these clues point to the Immortal Cauldron of Gewu!

"Hmm? Candied dates?"

Wutou Jinan found Han candied dates in a pile of ingredients. He continued to search and found quite a few.

Each one was full of color, half the size of a fist, and was stored fresh.

This is a foreign country, not Kangding. To see candied dates in a foreign country, Wutou Jinan could only think of one place, the Shenzhou that went to sea one after another!

Shenzhou passed by here more than ten years ago!

But for some unknown reason, the navy fleet was completely destroyed, and only the Shenzhou returned to Kangding State. Even the most important national artifact, the Gewu Xianding, was lost overseas!

What really surprised Wutou Jinan was that everyone said that the people on the Shenzhou were driven crazy and killed each other because they were short of food and lost their way in the endless ocean.

But the result is that the Gewu Xianding has abundant food reserves and has not reached the point of exhaustion.

Not only has it not reached the point of exhaustion, on the contrary, the Gewu Xianding, which has abundant food reserves, seems to have been abandoned overseas by someone.

The reason is not difficult to guess.

Some people have seen that the evil nature of the Gewu Xianding is closely related to cannibalism.

When Shenzhou set sail, not to mention the many naval fleets that accompanied it, the naval officers and soldiers on Shenzhou alone, the imperial guards sent by the royal family to protect Xianzhu, and the elite firearms battalion trained by Emperor Kangheng to protect Xianzhu were enough to arm a city. Under the eyes of so many people, Xianzhu, a national artifact, was abandoned voluntarily, and no one raised any objections... Only one person could do it!

It was Xianzhu, the only one who survived and returned to Kangding State, and was finally accused of violating human ethics and surviving by eating the corpses of his people!
