Half a year later.

"Haha, Daddy, we've grown a lot taller again!" Zhou Ying took Zhou Chen's hand and shook it, and smiled with satisfaction at the same time, a year ago, he could only reach his father's thighs, but now he can reach his waist, well, he will definitely fight every day in the future.

In comparison, Zhou Yi became a little more calm, at this time he was still walking on his horse, looking intently at the empty sea outside the boat, the further north he went, the more extreme the weather became, three and a half months in half a year was the middle of winter, most of the seabirds were no longer suitable for living in this sea area, only some more cold-tolerant creatures only occasionally appeared, but the sea was vast, these creatures were like sprinkling salt into fresh water, and they were out of sight in a blink of an eye.

Shi Xuan half-closed his eyes and breathed in the cold and refreshing air, letting the coolness roll through his lungs and seep into his body, which was cool and comfortable for a while. In the warm sun, the sea shimmered in blue, and in the distance floated an iceberg a few feet in size, the snow on it had melted, so it looked crystal clear, and as we continued north, those icebergs would grow bigger and bigger.

In the year since he got on the ship, Shi Xuan watched Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying, two brothers and sisters, grow up little by little, and deeply felt the joy of life and the joy of growth.

"Hah, it's cold. Cao Yuanze sighed at his hands, and in the absence of heavy wind and snow, the Fan family was reluctant to open the formation to isolate the inside and outside.

He Ji had already changed into a cotton robe, and said with a smile: "This feels cold? How do you get to the North Pole? The hottest time there is like this, most of the time it is much colder, out of Ice Crystal City, there is no coat and hat made of snow rat skin, which can directly freeze you into an ice sculpture." ”

"Ah, what's the matter? Those monks don't talk about it, how can ordinary people like Brother He, who just know some martial arts, make a living?" Cao Yuanze was a little frightened. Shi Xuan was also very interested in the customs of these different places, so he also asked, "Shi Mou heard that there are many ordinary people over there." ”

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, He Ji straightened his back, and then said: "He Mou, I live in the southernmost Ice Crystal City, and I haven't been to the Cold Ice City, Polar Day City, and Polar Night City to the north, I don't know how ordinary people live there." In Ice Crystal City, you must not go out of the city for three months of the year, the wind and snow are extremely cold, even if you wear thick clothes, it will only be buried by the snow, so these three months are the season for everyone to enjoy life. ”

As far as Shi Xuan knew, there were only four big cities on the northern pole, which were arranged with formations that could withstand blizzards and severe cold, and the rest of the place was only a few small ice and snow tribes on the southernmost seaside. Among these four big cities, Polar Day City and Polar Night City are in the Arctic Circle, half a year of day and half a night, and they are the outer stations of the Guanghan Sect, and their mountain gate, the Guanghan Palace, is said to be on an ice peak somewhere in the Arctic Circle. Cold Ice City and Ice Crystal City are one east and one west, of which Cold Ice City is slightly north, and they are all jointly controlled by several small sects.

He Ji continued: "For the other nine months, we all wore snow squirrel skin coats and hats to go out hunting and whaling, hey, although it is so cold in the north, there are a lot of beasts and birds, what ice bears, snow leopards, hundreds of species, of course, we can only hunt ordinary beasts and first-order demon beasts, if we are lucky, we can surround and kill a few second-order demon beasts, then it can be regarded as a fortune." ”

Zhou Chen planned to make a living in the North Pole after his children joined the sect, so he also listened to it with relish, but thinking that he didn't have any force, he asked worriedly: "Is there no other way to live except hunting?"

"Yes, what can be done in other places, Ice Crystal City can do it, what is a little second, a shopkeeper, or open your own shop, and there are many valleys near Ice Crystal City, which are as warm as spring, there are hot springs, there is water to irrigate the ground, you can grow rice and medicinal herbs, but you must get it done within nine months. He Ji smiled and said, "But for ordinary people, the most profitable thing is to be able to identify spirit grass, and if you find some spirit grass in the snow peak, it will only be half a year." ”

"Oh, but, Brother He, what is that snow rat skin?" Cao Yuanze asked with concern.

He Ji sighed and said: "The snow rat is the most common and common beast on the Arctic continent, most of the time it is not in the first order, it is the fur coat that ordinary people can afford the most, but it is really warm, I brought one with me, and I will show you later." ”

............

A year later, with heavy snow and howling winds, the Fan fleet stopped behind an island and set off to escape the blizzard.

In Shi Xuan's cabin, several people ate with relish around the copper pot on the table, and there was a charcoal stove under the copper pot, which exuded a scorching atmosphere, which made the temperature of the entire room rise a lot. Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying were sweating profusely after eating, and they couldn't stop their mouths for a moment, for them, after they started to exercise, not only their height soared, but also their appetite soared, if it weren't for the Fan family's fleet to bring enough meat and food, Zhou Chen was willing to spend money, and occasionally Shi Xuan could catch a few big fish from the sea, and he might not be able to feed them.

He Ji sighed while eating a piece of fish fillet: "I didn't expect that Brother Shi, you not only know how to fish, but also make a good pot, if you open a store in Ice Crystal City, I guarantee that you will definitely make a lot of money." ”

Shi Xuan smiled and didn't say a word, eating hotly, looking at the snow outside the window, his heart was calm and happy, in this year, after seeing the old age, sickness and death of others, Shi Xuan felt that his state of mind was peaceful and perfect, but for breaking through to the Divine Soul Period, although he already had the feeling of touching, it was always a little worse, and it seemed that he had to find another opportunity.

"Xiao Yi, Xiao Ying, where is your father now?" Cao Yuanze drank rice wine and teased the two little guys.

Zhou Yi was so busy eating that he didn't have time to pay attention to him, only Zhou Ying said with a smile: "Hehe, my head can already touch Daddy's ribs." "Zhou Chen is already tall, so for a child who is less than seven years old, this height is not bad.

............

Half a year later.

Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying, who had grown half a head taller, took Shi Xuan's hand and said reluctantly: "Uncle Shi, don't go." Don't go. "This is the crowded ice-free harbor of Ice Crystal City, and the people who come and go, except for some monks who don't care much about dressing up, are all dressed in snow-white or silver-gray plush coats, and even many monks with the surname of the girl, because they like this snow-white coat, snow-white velvet hat and snow-white fur cape, they also get a whole to wear, even if they are not afraid of the cold, at least they look pure and pretty.

Shi Xuan touched the little heads of the two of them and said with a smile: "Uncle Shi still has to go to Polar Night City, so it is not good to delay on the road, so as not to encounter the three-month snowstorm." In the future, if you can join the sect, everyone will have a goodbye. "For Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying, it is not necessary for children under the age of twelve to enter the Guanghan Sect to go to the Polar Day City or the Polar Night City, and every ten years, there will be monks from the Guanghan Sect who come to the Cold Ice City and the Ice Crystal City to make a simple pull, that is, two years later.

"Ah, Mr. Shi, who are you?" Zhou Chen was a little shocked and a little puzzled when he heard this, and the same was true of He Ji and Cao Yuanze next to him.

Shi Xuan smiled: "Shi is indeed a monk, but in Beihai, you also know it, and it can't be exposed." Well, it is also a kind of fate for everyone to be able to get together, these days there are good materials in Shi's pot, not to mention longevity, it can also strengthen the body. "After leaving the Beihai Sea, in the past few days when he came to Ice Crystal City, Shi Xuan dripped a drop of nectar every time he made a pot.

"No wonder I feel refreshed these days. "The closer Cao Yuanze got to the North Pole, the more he was in low spirits, and because he was afraid of the cold, he shouted when he was on the boat and immediately bought a snow rat fur coat when he arrived in Ice Crystal City.

He Ji was also happy and said: "I'll just say, why isn't it as cold as before." Thank you Shi Xian for growing. ”

Shi Xuan waved his hand, said goodbye to a few people, and slowly released the aura of heaven and earth on his body, and then walked to the street without looking back.

For Zhou Yi and Zhou Ying, Shi Xuan didn't think about giving them any more benefits, and the forging routine to help them reintegrate was the biggest benefit.

Entering the main street of Ice Crystal City, Shi Xuan restored his appearance as he walked, and when he crossed the Beihai, because he was worried that he had been seen by the Blood River Ancestor, he would give his appearance to every patrol disciple, so Shi Xuan adjusted his muscles and changed his appearance, so naturally there was no need to pretend at this time.

Ice Crystal City is named because of a semi-circular formation like ice crystals that envelops the whole city, since Shi Xuan is traveling and grinding, he has no intention of taking the teleportation array to the Polar Night City, at this time, his steps are not fast or slow to walk outside the city gate, ready to fly to the Polar Night City, and also see the Arctic scenery along the way.

As soon as he was about to walk out of the city gate, a monk guarding the gate walked over, looked Shi Xuan up and down, and then said, "This fellow Daoist, he is a good face, but he just came to Ice Crystal City, do you need a good introduction? Go out hunting? I know there is a good place." ”

Shi Xuan smiled and shook his head, and then walked out of the city gate without stopping. The guard monk didn't bother and walked back to his place with a smile.

Out of the city gate, there is no wind and snow today, the sky is blue, it looks leisurely open, and as far as the eye can see, it is a white ice peak snow field, Shi Xuan turned into a wisp of breeze, and flew towards the direction of Polar Night City while admiring.

It didn't take long for Shi Xuan to improve his spiritual cultivation a lot, so he suddenly felt a strong killing intent lock him, and a light behind him hurried over. After calmly measuring his speed, Shi Xuan decided to turn around to meet the enemy, at least to hit the opponent hard, so that he could have a chance to fly past him.

The light behind him was bright blood-colored, wantonly and domineering, flying towards Shi Xuan, seeing Shi Xuan turn around and release a golden bridge floating on his head to protect his whole body, he did not rush to attack, but stopped dozens of zhang away, and said leisurely: "A few years ago, the ancestor learned a lesson, but his own calculation is not very accurate, and there is interference from masters, so it can only be calculated that Shi Daoyou, you will go to the North Pole within ten years." I thought you were going to use the teleportation array to come over, so Duan Mou has been guarding near the teleportation array of Ice Crystal City for the past few years, but Shi Daoyou, you are so smart, you actually took the risk of taking a boat, if it weren't for the guards who received Duan's spirit stone, and the breath sensing jade pendant given by Duan, it was really almost a time to make Duan Moubai wait. ”

The person who spoke was a young Taoist with two contradictory temperaments, lazy and flamboyant, with an ordinary face, belonging to the kind that you forget when you see it, wearing a cyan ordinary Taoist robe, and at this time there was a faint blood color in his eyes.
