Chapter 43: A Long Journey in the Snow
"Master, the black fog has receded, it really has receded!" Gu Ji ran all the way from the bottom of the mountain and shouted loudly.
At the top of Heihe Peak, all members of the Chu Qin Clan were present, but no one showed excitement when they heard the news. They all looked at Qi Xiu in unison.
"Well, sure enough, as soon as the first snow arrives, the black fog will disperse. It's just that the snow in southern Xinjiang falls a little late." After hearing the news, Qi Xiu looked at the heavy snow in the sky isolated by the formation, and walked slowly on the top of the Heihe Peak. He seemed to be hesitating for something, while the disciples waited respectfully aside.
After a long time, he looked stern and seemed to have made up his mind, "In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about!" He turned around suddenly, looked at Zhan Yuan and shouted: "Zhan Yuan!"
"Disciple is here!" Zhan Yuan took a step forward and responded solemnly.
"I bought five pieces of Yu Denuo's [Wind Array Spirit Boat] in exchange for his help this time. You can ask him to come to the breeding site to find us tomorrow morning. I have already said hello to him, and he has also You know the way. Then you go back to Heihe Peak and lead Shen Chang, Gu Ji, and Qin Weiyu to watch the mountain gate!"
"Yes!" Zhan Yuan simply agreed, saluted Qi Xiu, then offered his magical weapon and flew away to the west.
Qi Xiu looked at Zhang Shishi again, "Zhang Shishi!"
"The disciple is here!"
"Are the application items ready?"
"Already prepared!"
"Okay!" Qi Xiu shouted in a low voice, and a rare killing temperament burst out from his body. "Zhang Shishi, He Yu, Pan Rong, Yu Jing, Huang He! The five of you go and bring your things and follow me!"
"Yes!" Everyone\u5f1

The coward replied loudly.
Not long after, the five people each carried a large package and stood neatly in front of Qi Xiu. They were all in high spirits and exuded a sense of vigor.
"Okay!" Qi Xiu nodded with satisfaction and shouted "Let's go!"
After saying that, they jumped onto the spirit boat first, and the five of them followed closely behind. Under Guji's envious eyes, they flew all the way north.
The first snowfall in Heihe was very heavy. Everyone had already put on first-class gray robes and flew all the way against the heavy snow. They set off in the morning and arrived at their destination when it was almost dark.
After hovering over the breeding site, it turned out that the black mist below had disappeared, leaving only a thin layer that blended with the snow and water and turned into a thick, foul-smelling black mud.
Locating the planned location for the formation, a hill with the highest terrain, Qi Xiu made the spirit boat tilt its head downward and land there.
I saw the disciples landing one by one after them. After flying in the heavy snow for a long time, all of them had a thin layer of ice on their bodies. Except for Zhang Shishi, who was in better condition, the others were already showing signs of fatigue.
"Take one [Qi Recovery Pill] for everyone. Hold on for now, Shi Shi. You and everyone should seize the time and set up the magic circle." Now is not the time to care about your beloved disciples, Qi Xiu ordered. Delivered all the time.
The disciples took out the elixirs and swallowed them one after another, and started working under the leadership of Zhang Shishi. The [Yellow Sand Magic Formation] lost its effect after the [Guangkai Moral Golden Light Formation] was activated. When Qi Xiu planned the breeding site, he decided Remove it and rebuild it directly near the breeding point as a fixed place to stay in the future.
Qi Xiu was also very tired after the long-distance flight, so he took out a [Qi Recovery Pill] from his arms and swallowed it, then flew around the hilltop. This was the first time he had seen this black river after snow. The thin residue The black mist was blocked by the wind shield of the robe. For some reason, the surface temperature of the swamp was quite high, and the heavy snow melted when it fell to the ground, turning into foul-smelling black mud that was slippery when stepped on.
Qi Xiu checked along the way, and also guarded the surroundings for the disciples who were busy setting up formations. The living creatures in the Black River were mostly lizards and snakes found in the records. Among them were several first-order spiritual beasts, although they were not
It's very dangerous, but don't take it too lightly.
The second time I built the [Yellow Sand Magic Array], the efficiency was obviously much faster. Around midnight, a yellow light flashed on the hill, and the magic array was finally activated.
"This kind of fixed magic circle will cause damage if it is dismantled once. In addition, it was set up hastily this time, and I am afraid that only 70% of the power is left." Zhang Shishi frowned and said to Qi Xiu who came back after hearing the news.
"That's enough. This is just a place to stay. It can block the wind, rain and black fog. Put up the temporary tent, have something to eat and rest. Everyone is tired." Qi Xiu replied.
"Yes." Zhang Shishi recited the magic formula in his mouth, and used an earth-based Taoist method to drive away the black mud on the ground, revealing the original soil of the hill. He Yu followed the spell to smooth it, and everyone took out the slender wooden poles they brought.
The tent frame was tied up by Pan Rong using wood magic, and then covered with felt cloth.
"Okay, this is the only condition we can have outside. Let's take the time to rest. As soon as Yu Denuo arrives tomorrow, we will start to sweep away the wild beasts nearby." Qi Xiu ordered. The disciples were also exhausted, so they used gray robes first.
He used the cleaning technique on his body to clean off the snow water and black mud stained on his body. With the bonfire lit in the center of the tent, he lay down on the ground. Soon, snoring broke out in the tent. Only He Yu closed his eyes and meditated, persisting.
He wanted to finish his evening classes before going to bed. Qi Xiu nodded slightly in appreciation, then opened the felt curtain and walked out of the tent. He had arranged to stay on duty today, so he couldn't sleep yet.
As the night passed, the snow gradually stopped. Yu Denuo's flying sword was very fast. He arrived early and met Qi Xiu who was leaning outside the tent, half asleep and half awake.
"Master Qi has worked hard." Yu Denuo stepped forward to salute him. He was originally quite disapproving of the Master Qi whom Zhan Yuan said he respected very much, but now that he saw the leader of the group personally keeping watch outside, he suddenly felt a little more confident.
Sincere admiration.
Qi Xiu returned the courtesy and said, "Thank you for your help, my fellow Taoist. Qi is deeply grateful for your help, and I will surely repay you in the future."
"It's just a little effort. Master Qi, there's no need to be so polite. Haven't you also taken care of my business? Help each other, it's nothing\u4

e48 will not repay you in return. Moreover, there are very few creatures in this black river. I often come here and I have never heard of any large beasts. I just treat it as a day trip here." Yu Denuo replied with a smile, and the two of them
They chatted a few more gossips about raising pigs and fish, and Qi Xiu didn't hide anything from him. Except for bribing Zhao Liangde, he ignored it and told all his thoughts.
"If your sect can gain a relationship with Senior Zhao, it will naturally be smooth sailing and rich in wealth. I would like to first congratulate Master Qi." After Yu Denuo finished speaking, he smiled meaningfully.
Zhao Liangde was well-known, but Yu Denuo had been fooling around for more than ten years. Qi Xiu knew that he had guessed something, but he couldn't admit it himself, so he had to muddle through.
When the disciples in the tent heard the noise outside, they woke up one by one and came out to greet the two of them.
"The place is not small. Let's pack up and leave now." Qi Xiu didn't want to delay any longer. After the snow, there was only endless black swampland in the Heihe River, and the weather was very gloomy and cold. It made people feel very depressing, which made him miss Narui even more.
