Brother, why is he like this?

The Far North is said to be in the east of Middle Earth and north of the North Sea. It has been a land of ice and snow since the creation of Pangu. It is several times colder than Kunlun, where the ice and snow do not melt all year round. Not to mention ordinary people, they are not high-level people. Few of the monks could survive the severe cold there.

The environment is so harsh, Ye Tan doesn't want Shen Lingyuan to follow him into danger, but he is even more afraid that Shen Lingyuan will suffer other harm when he is not around his senior brother.

He has been away from Shen Lingyuan for five years, and every day is suffering.Goodbye now, I was very panicked after leaving for a while.So after thinking twice, he begged Shen Lingyuan to go with him.

Shen Lingyuan naturally had no objection.

The extreme north is more than thousands of miles away from Mianshan, even a Nascent Soul monk like Ye Tan can't get there in an instant, let alone Shen Lingyuan going with him.

Shen Lingyuan is no different from a mortal body now. Ye Tan took him flying with his sword for a while, and stopped to eat and rest when he encountered a town. Just like this, it took more than half a month to reach Baicheng.

Baicheng is the northernmost town in Lingxu Continent.

This small town is located in a remote place, but there is an endless stream of pedestrians coming and going on the road, and there are hawking and bargaining sounds everywhere, a scene of prosperity in the world.

Perhaps because of the proximity to the extreme north, Baicheng began to snow in September.

Shen Lingyuan sat on the first floor of the inn facing the street and watched the snow scene outside the window.He was weak and afraid of the cold, and he was wearing a fox fur cloak, and his jade-like face was covered with snow-white down, which made him look more delicate.The slightly longer sleeves covered most of his palms, only revealing the white and slender fingertips, holding a cup of tea.

Not long after, it was dark, and lanterns lit up on the street, reflecting the bright stars in the distance.

While in a trance, a hand reached out, took away the teacup in his hand, and replaced the cold tea in it.

"Brother, do you miss Kunlun?" The voice was low and soft.

Shen Lingyuan took the hot tea handed to him, turned to Ye Tan with a smile and said:

"Do you still remember when you were a child, I took you to see the lanterns in Changle City?"

In order not to attract too much attention, Ye Tan covered his eyes with a silk cloth to cover his white pupils.When he reached the Nascent Soul realm, the five senses were no longer so important. His eyes were bound but he could still perceive everything around him.

Seeing Ye Tan's uncovered lower half of his face showing a very light smile, like a jade stone that has been silent for thousands of years, slowly blooming a bright and cool flower.

"remember."

The fish playing lotus lantern that his brother gave him is still stored in a wooden box.

Shen Lingyuan sighed very lightly: "In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed."

Ye Tan received it very naturally: "No matter how many years, I will be here."

I will always be with you brother.

There are more and more secret confessions like this, Shen Lingyuan always finds it weird, but seeing Ye Tan's expression very freely, it seems that he is the only one who thinks too much.He coughed lightly and said, "Tomorrow we will go to sea, so let's rest early today."

Ye Tan is as good as others: "Okay."

The two stood up and went upstairs to the room.

Seeing their figures turn around and disappear, two people dressed as businessmen in the corner of the first floor glanced at each other, and one of them lowered his voice and said, "Brother, it's them."

Another person laughed and said, "Not bad, fifth, they are two fat sheep."

The man known as the fifth child excitedly claimed the credit: "I noticed the blind man as soon as he came to the port today. Look at the whole body attire, hey, it's not simple, hurry up and say hello to the seaside guy. I guessed right, he just wants to I rented a boat and hired people to go to sea. The man said that as he said before, no one wants to go to sea because of the strong wind and waves these days."

He talked more and more vigorously, "The blind man asked how many days to wait, and the buddy said that it was hard to say, it could be a few days, or it could be several months. The blind man really didn't have much experience in the world, so he was hooked. Go to sea. The man said that there is a merchant ship going to sea, and the sailors are all first-class masters, and he can take the merchant ship. He came to us!"

"Big brother" stroked his beard, his eyes sparkled: "At first I thought this trip would be for nothing, but I didn't expect to get a lot of money." He weighed the gold leaf Ye Tan gave him, and he didn't expect the blind man to make such a generous move. , I gave so much shipping money all at once, and it was just a deposit!

"Old Fifth" echoed: "Brother is right, a blind man, a sick scholar, why don't we let us slaughter him?"

These two people originally came from Penglai, the easternmost city in Lingxu Continent. They heard that Baicheng is extremely cold, so they wanted to sell some furs and other things, but they didn't know that the most important thing in Baicheng was furs.So after a lot of tossing, a lot of money was spent, but none of the things were sold.Originally thought that he would return empty-handed, but unexpectedly, "windfall" came from the sky.

The two of Ye Tan wanted to reach the extreme north, they had to go all the way from Baicheng to the northeast and cross the North Sea.It's just that there are no ships in Baicheng to go to the extreme north, Ye Tan plans to go to Penglai first, and then turn north.

The Beihai Sea is vast, and he was worried that Shen Lingyuan would not be able to bear it, so he wanted to rent a big boat so that the journey would be more comfortable.It's fine for these people to send them across the North Sea honestly, if they really dare to do something...

Ye Tan upstairs listened for a moment, then closed his eyes indifferently.

Early the next morning, Baicheng port.

It was still snowing sporadically that day, and the cold wind was howling, chilling.There are only a few lone boats busy in the port, one of which is obviously much larger than the others, and it's very busy with the guys.

Lao Wu was instructing his subordinates to load the ship, and was taken aback when he saw Ye Tan and Shen Lingyuan.

They were far away when they were in the inn, but now that they are getting closer, they realize that Shen Lingyuan is really good-looking.He didn't have any words in his head, he just kept saying "Oh, why do you look so good?" over and over again.

The blind man next to him seemed to be getting impatient, and took a step in his direction.The fifth child quickly came back to his senses, put on a smiling face, nodded and bowed to Ye Tan: "The two sons are coming? Please get on the boat, please get on the boat. Where are the luggage, I will send someone to carry it."

Shen Lingyuan and Ye Tan came here leisurely with empty hands, as if they were not going to go to sea, but to drink tea at the teahouse next door.

Shen Lingyuan said warmly: "Thank you. The two of us have no luggage."

The fifth child is full of suspicions. After going to sea for such a long time, why don't you bring anything with you?He sneaked a glance at the Qiankun bag on Ye Tan's waist, and thought that he didn't care if you had any luggage, as long as you brought the money.Turning his eyes a few times, he said in his mouth: "My lord, you don't need to bring anything! We have everything on board, and I promise to serve you both with good food and drink."

As he spoke, he led the two of them inside, "Look, the best room has been spared for you two, it's spacious!"

It was indeed a spacious room for a ship.But Ye Tan frowned slightly under the white cloth, and said coldly: "Prepare another room."

"This……"

The fifth child spat secretly, thinking that you, a blind man, can't see how big the room is, can you?So instead of breaking up with Ye Tan, she looked at Shen Lingyuan, wondering: "There are really no spare rooms."

After all, none of the goods were sold, which took up a lot of space.

Shen Lingyuan understood very well: "It's okay, this is fine."

As he spoke, he stepped in.

Ye Tan was silent for a moment at the door, and then walked into the room.

Lao Wuxi said: "Two gentlemen, sit down for a while, and we will leave the boat later!" Before leaving, he closed the door considerately.

Shen Lingyuan stood by the window, and Ye Tan stood at the door with his sword in his arms.

The room was silent.

Shen Lingyuan looked out the window, only to see snowflakes falling on the blue-gray sea, and then quickly disappearing.The waves beat against the rocks on the shore, stirring up a layer of white foam, and said casually: "Fortunately, we are here at this time, and if it is later, the sea will probably freeze over."

The cold wind blew the fur collar around his neck, and the fluff tickled his face.

Ye Tan came to him, raised his hand and closed the window. "It's windy by the window." After hesitating for a moment, he closed Shen Lingyuan's neckline and tied the cloak tighter, "Brother, be careful of catching a cold."

Shen Lingyuan smiled and was about to speak, when suddenly he couldn't stand on his feet, and was about to fall down, Ye Tan quickly grabbed her with his eyesight and hand, and pulled him into his arms.

The scenery on the shore receded slowly, and it turned out that the boat was sailing.

The extremely close distance reminded Ye Tan of the interlaced breathing that night.

"Dong dong dong".

I don't know whose heartbeat is getting louder.

The eyes under the white cloth were closed, Ye Tan supported Shen Lingyuan's shoulders with both hands, and pulled away a certain distance restrainedly, his breathing became a little disordered: "Brother, are you okay?"

Shen Lingyuan smiled and said, "It's okay."

Ye Tan withdrew his hands and placed them neatly by his side.

Since he revealed his real body and met Shen Lingyuan, he has been extremely careful to avoid physical contact between the two.Even if Yu Jian was walking with him, he just supported Shen Lingyuan's shoulders to prevent him from falling, and then propped up a layer of spiritual power shield.

Shen Lingyuan didn't know that Ye Tan was struggling in his heart, he was concerned about another matter.

"I don't know what kind of monster is guarding the Profound Sky Grass."

The black shadow was extremely fast, and it flashed past the mirror, even Shen Lingyuan, who was as well-known as Shen Lingyuan, couldn't see what it was.In addition, Ye Tan couldn't perceive the spiritual power on the other side of the mirror, and he didn't know how well it was cultivated.

From Mianshan to the extreme north, they have walked all the way, nine out of ten of the journey has been completed, but the real danger has not yet begun.

Ye Tan didn't know what he was thinking, and after a while, he slowly said, "I don't know."

Shen Lingyuan smiled, "You'll know when you see it."

After losing his cultivation, his mind is more open than before.

At that time, the dual identities of the sword sect disciple and the demon race pulled him and made him suffer a lot.He is firm that he will serve the sword sect, will not steal the spiritual power of the monks, and will not be soft when encountering the demons.

It was only when he had an attack that he realized that he could not control himself at all, not to mention that he would not be soft-hearted when he met Ruan Yeming, he would even feel pity and distress.

He used to even worry about the growth of his cultivation base. Is this still a monk?

He wanted to go back to Jianzong wholeheartedly, but could he go back to Jianzong again?Does Master still accept him?

Now he doesn't have to think about anything.

He was just a mortal, his lifespan was only a few decades, and he passed away in the blink of an eye.Jianzong will no longer need him, and as a demon, he will not hurt others.Those things that were entangled before suddenly became unimportant.

As for this trip to the extreme north...it is good if it is successful, but if it is not successful, let it be regarded as an adventure. Seeing the polar scenery that has never been seen before is also a worthwhile trip.
