The days of wearing books and cultivating truth

The next day, Lin An was unavoidable, and he woke up a bit late from the meditation practice.But the mental state is fine.

Chu Tianao looked at Chen Xiran and the others nibbling dry food, and said, "Today we will enter the periphery of the extremely cold place. Because the plants to be collected are hard to find and most of them grow in deep mountains and old forests. So you'd better do it." Get ready to sleep in the wild."

Chen Xiran and the others ate in silence.No one said anything.Chu Tianao didn't bother him much this time, he turned around and walked towards his group, and said loudly, "Let's go when they finish eating!"

Chen Xiran slowly finished the last piece of hard bread in his hand.Looking at Chu Tianao's side, the five people can't wait to set off.He said slowly, "Before you leave, don't you want to explain what happened yesterday?"

Chu Tianao's face became a little ugly, and the atmosphere was instantly awkward.Zhao Qianhua came out to smooth things over and said: "That's really embarrassing, we were far away from the repair point yesterday. So we had to take a short-cut in the middle of the flight. I hope everyone is happy."

Lin An also said in a rare way: "The key to cooperation is trust. Since it is difficult for us to trust each other, how about changing the way of cooperation?"

As soon as Lin Anyi said this, even Zhao Qianhua's expression turned ugly.But he still maintained his demeanor and said with a smile: "Tell me."

"Between the two teams, carrier pigeons are used to keep in touch. When one party is in trouble, the other party decides whether to help or not depending on the situation."

Zhao Qianhua obviously disapproved of this proposal, but before he could speak, Chu Tianao continued. "Okay, that's it."

Zhao Qianhua wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chu Tianao.A group of five people boarded the paper crane and flew away without looking back.

Zhao Kaiyan gestured to Lin Anyi, "You are great".Zhang Xize also smiled happily.Chen Xiran patted the dry food slag stuck to his hands, and said in satisfaction, "Let's go too."

The extremely cold land has vast forests, rolling mountains, and snow that covers everything everywhere.As the temperature gradually dropped, the group had to stop several times to add clothes to keep warm.

Chen Xiran and the others did not realize that their preparations were not sufficient until they arrived in the extremely cold place.

Lin An also looked at Zhao Kaiyan who was wrapped into a ball by the clothes on the left and right.Sighing in his heart, it seems that at this stage, they are a little reckless in coming to the extremely cold place to do the mission. After all, in the original book, Chu Tianao and the others also came here to do the mission after entering the late stage of Qi refining.

When a group of people stepped into the first resting point set up by Yang Yizong in the extremely cold place, even Chen Xiran felt a little bit like retreating.The monks at the entire rest point are at least at the end of Qi refining or above.And after coming, several people discovered that the so-called guard system is popular here.

The guard system is for newcomers who are new here to do tasks. They will spend a lot of contribution points, and invite some colleagues who are familiar with this place to cooperate with them to complete the tasks. On the one hand, it improves the task completion rate, and more importantly, it ensures their own safety.

After Chen Xiran and his party got rid of a few "old men" who had been here for a long time and earned Zongmen contribution points by serving as guards for novices, they found that they were not only the weakest in this rest spot, but also the poorest.

And those "old men" also curiously inquired about their details, then left with a sneer.For a newcomer who has just arrived, without contributing points to hire guards, this is tantamount to courting death.A well-meaning person even persuaded them to give up the mission here quickly.

Chen Xiran hesitated for a long time after hearing this, but he didn't want to choose to give up before he even started.

So early the next morning, the four of them left the rest point amidst the pity, ridicule, and eyes of a group of people waiting to watch the excitement.Go to the area indicated in the quest tooltip that may have the desired plant growing.

The weather here is dry and cold, and several people are struggling to walk in the snow.Lin An also looked at the shivering phantom monkey hiding in his arms, feeling a little distressed.But there is no way.It is undoubtedly not a wise move to keep a phantom monkey at the young stage among a group of monks at the fusion stage, or even the monks at the heartbeat stage.

In this way, four people and one monkey started the daily difficult journey of searching for Ganoderma lucidum and ginseng in the forest and snow fields.

Four days later, the few people who had almost run out of dry food fell into a dilemma.Ginseng and Ganoderma lucidum do not know where.The four of them walked hard in the forest every day on the knee-deep snow.When I returned to the rest point at night, my clothes were frozen through, but I could only eat dry food with little nutrition to satisfy my hunger.

If it weren't for a few people who have already entered the Qi refining period, whether they can live healthy until now is a problem.

Chen Xiran silently looked at the exhausted people, and said, "Tomorrow we will take a full day off and we will return."

The atmosphere is depressing.This is the first setback that several people have encountered since entering the world of cultivating immortals.Thinking about it, even if they go back, they will have a hard time after their contribution points have been exhausted.

Just as the four of them were getting ready to enter the state of night breath adjustment in frustration.There was a click, click, click at the window—a carrier pigeon was pecking at the tightly closed window.

Chen Xiran walked over and opened the window, and took off the letter paper tied to the carrier pigeon's leg.Chen Xiran looked at the signature on the letter paper, frowned slightly and said, "It was written by Chu Tianao."

After the four people circulated and read the loosely worded letter, the atmosphere was a little dull for a while.

Zhao Kaiyan broke the silence first, and said with a sneer, "I don't think he would be so kind. He even took the initiative to tell us where the spiritual plants grow densely. There must be something tricky in it.".

"It is believed that there are many monsters nearby, so they want to cooperate with us." Zhang Xize defended in a low voice.

Lin Anyi, who was listening to their conversation, was racing his mind.Chu Tianao said in the letter that there is a dense forest with luxuriant vegetation in the middle of the place close to the extreme cold.Although there are many herbs in the dense forest, there are also many large monsters.They don't want to miss this opportunity to complete the mission, so they hope that the two teams can work together and enter the dense forest together.The herbs collected will be divided equally between the two teams.

Lin An also repeatedly recalled the map of the extremely cold place that he had seen in the materials, and thought about the process of Chu Tianao and others doing the mission in the original book, and said cautiously: "I agree with Zhao Kaiyan's opinion, this letter Letters are tricky."

Chen Xiran lightly tapped the table with his fingers, and said slowly: "There is definitely something tricky. But what I want to know now is what kind of trouble they have encountered, or what they need our help to do." degree."

Zhao Kaiyan smiled and said: "I also think the content conveyed by this letter is very interesting. It is said that wealth and wealth are found in danger, but life must be spent. I think the things they are involved in this time are quite dangerous."

Lin An also closed his eyes gently, quickly mobilized the information stored in his brain, and analyzed objectively: "The area where Chu Tianao and the others are located is very close, in the middle of the extremely cold forest. If I remember correctly , within 500 miles from the location in the letter, there is a Yeti tribe."

"So it should be related to that tribe?" Zhao Kaiyan said with great interest. "But since they can write letters and release pigeons, it means that they are safe for the time being."

"So we may have been involved now." Chen Xiran calmly analyzed. "Through these few contacts, it is not difficult to find that Chu Tianao is very independent, very determined, and also very conceited. Moreover, he has always regarded us as an imaginary enemy. With his personality, he will never ask us for help. .can only say……"

"It can only be said that this time they caused a lot of trouble and wanted to pull us back. Or worse, they wanted to use us to divert attention, or even use us as scapegoats." Lin An continued to analyze with a grim expression.

Zhao Kaiyan said thoughtfully: "I have always felt that there is something wrong with that woman named Zhang Jiuhong. Every time she is the first to speak up to make things difficult for us, but she never provokes our bottom line. And she looks at the relationship between me and the boss. The eyes are like looking at the dead. Boss, does the spirit protection stone on your body respond to her?"

Lin An was also surprised when he heard this.Does Chen Xiran have a protective spirit stone?Lin An also felt a little uneasy, thinking that there really is such a stone.Then his own secret...?

Chen Xiran smiled, and replied: "Well, the protective spirit stone did become hot when she approached me. According to my guess, she should be a soul reborn. One is because her behavior is really naive, and the other is" Chen Xiran paused, and continued: "Not long ago. I sent someone to investigate her family and herself."

"According to the results of the report, her family has never suspected her behavior, and she has never done anything that is not in line with her original character. So I ruled out the possibility of taking the house." Chen Xiran finished his speculation calmly.

Lin An also felt a layer of cold sweat on his back. Could it be that Chen Xiran knew his secret from the beginning?

But after carefully thinking about Chen Xiran's usual behavior towards him, Lin An is sure that Chen Xiran trusts him, which can also be reflected in many details.

Lin An also looked at Chen Xiran's profile, and secretly thought, it seems that Chen Xiran should understand the story he made up, and then he should also know that there is something wrong with his soul.But why didn't he expose himself, instead he showed confidence in himself?

Lin An also felt a little tangled silently.

Chen Xiran seemed unaware of Lin Anyi's anxiety, and continued to analyze calmly: "Through observation of her actions, I think she not only knows clearly about me and Kaiyan's future, but also understands our background. It is very clear. So I think we may have been used as a bait. It is not suitable to stay here for a long time, and we will set off early tomorrow morning."

Everyone has no doubts about this decision.

Chen Xiran went on to say: "Kai Yan and Xi Ze go to rest, and An Yi and I sort out the information and maps we have collected recently. Get ready for the next mission here."

Zhao Kaiyan and Zhang Xize didn't doubt that he was there, and obediently went back to their own room.Lin An, who was left in the room, looked at Chen Xiran who had been writing and drawing on paper, and for a moment didn't know what to say.

Chen Xiran acted very naturally, doing what he should do.On the contrary, Lin Anyi inevitably slipped a little in the process of sorting out the materials.Chen Xiran seemed unaware of this.This made Lin An even more uneasy.

I'm really stupid, I thought I was smart enough to tell him the future of Chen Xiran in the original book into a story.Presumably he already knew that there was something wrong with him.Lin An also thought in frustration.

Chen Xiran found out a long time ago, after Zhao Kaiyan mentioned the spirit protection stone.Lin Anyi has always been a little out of his mind, feeling helpless, but also a little funny.Now I know that I am worried. What did you think when you said it?

Lin Anyi, who was sorting out the last part of the materials with self-pity, suddenly felt a warm touch on the top of his head: "Stop thinking about it."

Lin An didn't dare to raise his head to look at Chen Xiran, he still lowered his head to sort out the materials, and said stubbornly: "I don't understand what you are talking about." But his eyes were quietly red.

After coming here for so many years, no one knows that their soul carries the memories of the previous life.Now someone has guessed the secret, but he didn't expose him, and he didn't tell him what to say. On the contrary, he respected and trusted himself who still kept some secrets.

Chen Xiran looked at Lin Anyi with red eyes, and felt a little distressed for no reason. Did it actually scare him?

Lin An also felt the hands above his head gently rubbing his hair.Just when he didn't know what to do.

The pair of hands that were chaotically above his head suddenly stopped.Lin An also heard Chen Xiran calmly say: "It seems that Chu Tianao and the others are holding back, we are in trouble."
