Longevity starts with strengthening the internal organs

This is a town made of ice and snow.

It is said to be a town, but in fact it is only a small street less than 100 meters long.

Taverns and brothels lined the streets.

After all, for these people who have been living in a harsh environment all year round, only alcohol and women can make them feel relaxed.

And such strong demand naturally allows some people to glimpse business opportunities.

So despite the extremely harsh environment, driven by money, people still come here every year to do business with women and spirits.

These people will not disperse until the polar night comes.

That's why this town doesn't even have a name, and people who go to the sea call it Happy Nest.

now.

In the largest tavern in this town, many people who drove to the sea were already drunk, but they were still pouring wine into their mouths.

That formation seemed like he was trying to drink himself to death.

At this time, the cold wind was howling outside and the temperature was extremely low, but it was surprisingly warm inside the tavern.

Just the stench emitted by the body that has not been washed all year round, mixed with the strong smell of alcohol, is enough to make anyone who has just come in from outside frown.

But the owner of the tavern was sitting behind the counter with a smile, as if the dirty air was the most fragrant smell in the world, he was so happy that he couldn't even open his eyes.

This tavern owner has a big belly that is rare here, and his chubby face looks very rich. But if you underestimate him because of this, you are asking for death.

After all, no one who can open a shop and do business in a place like this is a good person.

Otherwise, it would have been chewed to pieces even to the bones.

At this time, looking at the almost full tavern, the owner was wondering whether he should recruit some women to work as bartenders.

This can stimulate consumption, and secondly, after drinking, the tourists will definitely go to find women, so that they can make more money.

But I’m afraid it’s too late this year. Let’s wait until next year!

We have to recruit some women next year no matter what.

Just as the boss was thinking about how to expand his business, the thick door curtain was suddenly lifted.

The cold wind that had been lingering outside for a long time took advantage of the situation and instantly made the seafarers who were closer to the door sober.

"Damn it, where did it come from..."

Some people opened their mouths to curse, but after seeing the appearance of the person clearly, these people swallowed back their words.

It's not that the people who came in were so vicious.

On the contrary, the two people who walked in were both good-looking.

Especially the young man walking behind, who was so clean and handsome that even the most popular girl in the town was ashamed of himself.

But it is precisely because of this that these talents who are rushing to the sea dare not make mistakes.

the reason is simple.

Being able to come to Wuwu Seaside in this ice and snow is enough to prove their strength.

Coupled with the cleanliness that seems incompatible with the surrounding environment, it further proves that this young man's strength is by no means ordinary.

Because if you want to maintain this state, you must have strong strength.

Otherwise, do you think these seafarers don’t want to live a decent life?

It’s really not allowed by conditions and strength!

Just when these people who rushed to the sea fell silent for a moment, the tavern owner's expression changed.

Because he recognized the man walking in front.

Didn't he just come here last year? Why is he here again this year?

And what’s going on with this incomprehensible young man at the back?

These thoughts flashed through his mind, but soon his face was filled with a smile, and then he stood up, cupped his hands and spoke.

"Master Liu!"

Jing Rou did not use her real name when operating here, but a pseudonym.

This is also the usual practice of people here.

"Shopkeeper Yang, business is even better this year than last year!" Jing Rou said with a smile.

"Toefl is just a living thing." Yang Zhan said with a smile.

As he said this, Yang Zhan took out a wine jar from under the counter and poured a glass for Jingrou, Zhao Ya and Zhao Ya respectively.

"Authentic Shao Knife, let's take a sip to warm yourself up first."

When he picked up the bowl, he saw that the wine in the bowl was clear and had a strong flavor.

Drinking it in one gulp, it was like swallowing a mouthful of hot coals, which went all the way down from the throat to the stomach. After trembling with shivers, most of the cold air on the body was dissipated in an instant.

Even Zhao Ya had to admit that in a place like this, soft rice wine was not good at all. Only this kind of strong wine was enjoyable.

Yang Zhan looked at it with a smile.

After Zhao Ya and Jing Rou drank all the wine in the bowl, he said, "Is Liu Daxia coming here for that miraculous creation again?"

"Yes, this is one of my junior brothers. He is very curious about the miraculous creation, so he came to take a look."

As she said this, Jing Rou looked around at the people in the tavern, but she didn't see any familiar faces, so she couldn't help but be slightly startled.

Although it is very dangerous to make a living on the beach of Wuwanghai, if you are not careful, you will be killed by the cold or accident.

In addition, after making enough money, many people will choose to quit.

But it’s not like I can’t even see an acquaintance.

As if he noticed Jing Rou's surprise, Yang Zhan sighed slightly.

"Daxia Liu is looking for someone who is the boss, right?"

"That's right."

"Stop looking for them, they're all dead."

"Dead? How did you die?" Jing Rou was shocked.

Yang Zhan sighed, "This happened a month ago. At that time, the boss was leading his team to catch the sea. Unexpectedly, a heavy fog suddenly appeared on the beach. After the fog dissipated, people only saw the remaining blood stains and traces on the ground. There are pieces of clothing, and as for the boss and his men, there is no trace, but they must have been in trouble."

After listening to Yang Zhan's words, Jing Rou was stunned.

He was very shocked. After all, the old boss had been living on the beach of Wuwanghai for decades and had never had any accidents. How come his body was completely gone?

At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly asked: "Is it common for this kind of fog to suddenly invade the seaside?"

"It is extremely rare, so people say that this is the life of the old leader wanted by the Sea Dragon King. After all, he has lived his whole life relying on the output of the Wuwu Sea. In the end, he died in the Wuwu Sea. It was a worthy death, but it was a pity for his gang. He is a strong man now." Yang Zhan said.

Zhao Ya was thoughtful.

At this time, Yang Zhan smiled at Jing Rou, "But if you, Master Liu, want to acquire Miracle Creation, I can help you connect the dots."

"Who?" Jing Rou said in a deep voice.

"Kong Xiangdong!"

"Crazy Kong?" Jing Rou murmured in a low voice, with a strange look on her face.

"Yes, but Liu Daxia, don't worry, this leader Kong has a good relationship with me, and he is not as cruel as the rumors say, so cruel that he cannot communicate."

"So if Liu Daxia trusts me, I can help you connect."

After listening to Yang Zhan's words, Jing Rou did not respond immediately, but turned to look at Zhao Ya.

Zhao Ya smiled slightly, "Okay, in that case, I'll trouble Shopkeeper Yang!"

"No trouble, what's the trouble?" Yang Zhan laughed so hard that his eyes disappeared.

Naturally, there are hotels in the town, but the prices are very expensive, so except for the merchants who come here to buy dried fish and other items, most people are not willing to stay there.

Of course, Zhao Ya and Jing Rou didn't care about the small amount of money. After finalizing the next meeting time with Yang Zhan, the two of them walked out of the tavern.

The strong wind outside didn't know when it had stopped, and rare stars appeared in the sky.

Looking far into the distance, there is a blush in the distant sky.

Jing Rou introduced: "That is the sun that has not completely set. When it comes to the polar night, even when the sun rises, it will be in this state. By then, the temperature here will be unimaginably low. Don't When it comes to opening the pulse, even masters in the Yuan Hai Realm can’t even hope to survive here for a long time.”

"The Wuwu Sea at that time was the real white hell!"

Zhao Ya didn't speak, just walked slowly along the street.

There were faint sounds of frolics in the brothels on the roadside, and the fish oil lamps hung in front of the doors exuded a vague brilliance, making this lonely town look like a dream.

But at this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly curled his fingers and popped out, and an iron projectile flew directly into the darkness.

A short, shrill scream came from the darkness.

But the next moment, from every corner of the street, crossbow arrows rained down on Zhao Ya and Jing Rou.

Jing Rou was shocked.

"What's going on? Who is ambushing this?"

He really couldn't figure out who was ambushing him.

After all, he and Zhao Ya had just arrived in this town.

Could it be the smiling tavern owner Yang Zhan?

Zhao Ya didn't show any panic at all. With a wave of his hands, the strong wind from his palm instantly knocked away the incoming crossbow arrows.

Then he rushed towards the dark corner with a single stride, but there was nothing except a pool of blood on the ground.

At this time, Jing Rou also rushed over and asked with an unkind expression, "What's going on?"

"My blow already killed this man, but his body was still taken away."

"What about the other places?"

"There's no need to go, there's no one there anymore. These people didn't hesitate at all after shooting the arrows and ran away." Zhao Ya said calmly.

Jing Rou's expression was gloomy and uncertain.

Because he didn't know who did this.

The most important thing is that the other party has deceived himself into being so close to launch an arrow and sneak attack, but he didn't notice it at all.

Could it be that my vigilance as a warrior has also been frozen by this extreme cold?

"It's some kind of secret method!" Zhao Ya said suddenly.

"Um?"

"The reason why they can cover their aura so perfectly is because they use some secret method!"

As he spoke, Zhao Ya knelt down and observed the frozen blood on the ground, with a strong look of curiosity on his face, just like a child seeing a novel toy.

"There are no traces of medication, so how did this secret method work?" Zhao Ya murmured softly.

Jing Rou's expression also became serious, "Who could have done it?"

Zhao Ya shook his head, "I don't know, but there is someone who should know."

As he spoke, he turned around and looked at the tavern.

A moment later, an angry Jing Rou took the lead and broke into the tavern.

Unexpectedly, the tavern owner Yang Zhan seemed to have anticipated their departure and return, and even the smile on his face did not change.

"Don't be impatient, Master Liu. I know what you want to ask. Please listen to me next."

Jing Rou calmed down after hearing this and stared at Yang Zhan with an unkind look, wanting to see what this man was going to say before making a decision.

"First of all, I want to congratulate you two for passing the test, because the group of people who attacked you just now are the men of Leader Kong!"

"A member of Crazy Kong?" Jing Rou became even more angry.

"Yes, Leader Kong has a habit. If you want to deal with him, you have to see if you are qualified. He will only be willing to talk to you if your strength reaches the standard! And just now the two of you were able to survive the siege and sneak attack by the crossbowmen. Coming down, this in itself has proven his strength!" Yang Zhan explained with a smile.

Jing Rou was furious, "What if we are careless?"

"Then I can only blame you for your lack of strength and bad luck!" Yang Zhan said lightly.

Zhao Ya suddenly said: "So when we were talking to you in the tavern just now, the news had already spread, right?"

"Yes!" Yang Zhan nodded without hesitation.

"Liu Daxia, there is no need to be so angry. Leader Kong was very satisfied with your performance just now. He has already sent a message and will meet you tomorrow afternoon."

Jing Rou also calmed down at this time.

In a place like this, no matter how powerful you are, it is difficult to defeat these local snakes. In addition, he still needs Yang Zhan, so he can only endure the bad breath in his chest and nod.

"Okay! I'll wait for him!"

After saying that, he was about to leave.

At this moment, Zhao Ya suddenly said: "Boss Yang, I was deeply impressed by the bowl of Shao Daozi just now, so can you sell me a jar? I just have a few sips at the hotel in the evening."

Yang Zhan glanced at Zhao Ya and saw that his expression was calm. He hesitated for a moment and then nodded.

"good!"

Finally, Zhao Ya walked out of the tavern holding a jar of wine.

Although Jing Rou felt a little strange, she didn't say much.

There were no accidents this time. They arrived at a hotel and stayed at it smoothly.

This hotel is also made of ice blocks. The difference is that the walls inside are lined with wooden boards, and the floor is covered with thick carpets. Coupled with the roaring stove, the temperature in the room is very high. .

Jing Rou was already exhausted from all the running around, and she lay down on the bed directly after arriving in the room.

Zhao Ya sat at the table, opened the lid of the jar, poured out a bowl and tasted it quietly.

Seeing his actions, Jing Rou couldn't help her curiosity and asked.

"Xiao Ya, what are you doing? Is there something wrong with this wine?"

"A little skeptical, so I had to give it a try!"

After hearing this, Jing Rou stopped lying down, turned over and sat up, and came to the table.

"But just now we each had a drink in the tavern, and nothing happened!"

"Boss Yang is not stupid either. How could he do such a stupid thing as mixing poison in wine?" Zhao Ya said.

Jing Rou was completely confused now.

One moment he said there was something wrong with the wine, and the next moment he said Yang Zhan would not do something stupid like that. What did this mean?

As if sensing Jing Rou's confusion, Zhao Ya raised his head and smiled at him.

"When I say there is something wrong with wine, I don't mean that it is poisonous. What if there is something else in it? For example... something that can make the secret method take effect?"
