Wait for the lamb leg to be roasted.

The night is dark.

The black bear spirit borrowed a short knife from Li Xingshang, and then with a few gestures, he skillfully divided the lamb legs and put them into ten wooden bowls.

Take another look at the dry biscuits that were handed to you, divide them into pieces according to the situation, and put them into three large wooden plates.

These are the bowls and chopsticks that merchants often carry. They are lightweight and resistant to falling.

The merchant took the bowl and chopsticks and looked at the meat in his friend's bowl next to him in the light of the fire, only to find that each portion was basically the same size.

This outstanding knife skill also attracted everyone's surprise and praise, and they were even more certain that Black Bear Spirit was a master.

After waiting for a while to cool down, everyone wolfed down the food.

Looking at the cold weather outside and the warm fire inside the house.

Everyone drinks some warm water and chats for a while.

As Ning He listened, he realized that as they were chatting in the sleepiness of a full meal, there was no sound in the room, leaving only the ups and downs of snoring.

This was until the next morning when Black Bear Spirit had another early morning barbecue.

Ning He also got up early and looked at the snow scene outside the house.

Everyone woke up one by one after smelling the fragrance.

When they woke up, they also found that the gentleman seemed to have woken up early, and was now looking at the falling snow outside the house and the snow everywhere.

"Good morning, sir."

"Good morning, sir!"

"My hero's craftsmanship is so good...Yawn...I slept so comfortably last night..."

While everyone was saying hello and complimenting me, I got up quickly.

Someone took a kettle and went outside to dig some snow and start warming the water.

Some people also started to help the black bear spirit.

Li Xingshang checked the snow outside the house and saw that the snow had not reached his legs.

"The heavy snow last night probably didn't last long, only the period before we went to bed."

As he said this, he turned to Ning He who was at the door and asked, "Sir, are you in a hurry today?"

"Yeah." Ning He looked at the merchants who were packing up the cart outside. They were reinforcing some anti-slip wooden parts on both sides of the wheels.

It looks like they are going to take a snowy road.

When Li Xingshang saw Ning He looking at the car, he also smiled and explained: "Although it's not easy to walk, it's the New Year's Eve soon.

Moreover, what we are carrying is cloth and silk. These goods cannot be stored forever. They must be delivered to the cloth shop in the city before the 20th of the twelfth lunar month so that people can have free time to customize the clothes.

If the delivery is late and the new clothes are finished, we will lose them."

When he said this, he expressed a few words about the difficulty of doing business. When he heard his companions shouting at him to help, he stopped talking and went to work.

Ning He had nothing to do, so he went over to take a look at the object, and supported the cart while several merchants thanked him, and took the opportunity to lend a hand.

This was until the black bear spirit finished cooking.

Everyone praised and enjoyed eating before continuing on their way.

But now when we are on the road, there are a few people holding branches to explore the snow and explore the road ahead to avoid any pits ahead.

The road is not easy to walk.

As everyone was walking, one of the merchants suggested that instead of taking shortcuts, they should take the official road.

Although there is snow on the official road, fortunately there are not many pitfalls, so it can save some effort, but at most it will take some time.

Especially two miles ahead, there is a small side road that can leave the forest and go to the official road outside the forest.

This was a detour from an old road to a new one during road construction.

Li Xingshang seemed to have a good knowledge of geography and knew the roads nearby.

Just waiting to get here.

Ning He heard that Li Xingshang and others had discussed it, but in the end they did not choose to go out from here.

I always say in my words, ‘time is too tight’, ‘the road is too rounded’, ‘just put in some effort’

As a result, everyone then went back and forth to explore the road, one foot deeper and one foot shallower and they continued walking.

Until dark.

Holding a torch, we walked another two miles with difficulty.

Until I encountered the fourth detour.

Li Xingshang took everyone out and said that the only way to go out is through this side road due north and stay at the inn on Guan Road without taking a detour.

And as time goes by.

In the next two days, Ning He not only followed them along the official road, but also sometimes walked along side roads for a while, then walked back into the forest, followed the grass covered with trees and snow, and then returned to a road due north.

The official way.

After walking along the official road for a while, if the direction changes, then go back to the forest.

Going back and forth is like walking through a maze.

But when Ning He released his consciousness, he discovered that they were basically walking in the direction of true north.

The fundamental reason is that there are some special marks on every big tree not far away, which are the road signs they left in the past, so that they did not lose their way.

And on the road in the next few days.

Ninghe sometimes found other merchant teams.

Li Xingshang and others met and if they knew each other, they went together to discuss whether there was a new way.

If so, draw the latest road markings.

When you meet a businessman who you have met a few times, just say hello from afar.

If you don't know each other well, as long as you don't stay in the same inn at night, or live in the same place outside a shabby temple, you will basically not say hello.

It took me seven days to get here.

After walking the 400-mile snowy road, the temporary merchant team expanded to more than 40 people before saying goodbye to each other outside Wujiang City.

Ning He said goodbye to them and traveled another twenty miles today.

At night, we arrived at the border of Wujiang.

Just at this moment.

Ning He was standing by a forest, looking at the Wujiang River a mile away.

Black Bear Spirit saw the purpose of Taoist Priest coming to Wujiang, and it seemed that he was really looking for the No. 1 River God of the Wu Dynasty. He hesitated in his steps and said: "Taoist Priest, Wujiang God is the most powerful priest in our Wu Dynasty...
p>

Like Licheng Huang is not worth mentioning in front of Jiang Shen...

Now...the Taoist priest...does he know him?"

"I don't know him." Ning He replied, "But when we meet him, we will know him."

"This..." Black Bear Spirit opened his mouth. Although he felt something was wrong, what the Taoist Master said seemed to be right.

Ning He ignored him, but looked at the Wujiang River in the distance and the faint golden aura suspended above, and gradually understood what the practice of national destiny was all about.

Because after observing the journey for nearly three months, I also heard some information about crops and rivers when I was traveling with Li Xingshang and others.

Ning He discovered that the Wujiang River surrounded most of the northern half of the Wu Kingdom.

There are also three river mouths at both ends of the Wujiang River and in the middle, connecting three large rivers and dozens of creeks.

Combined with the terrain scenes seen during the trip, if seen from the sky, these rivers are intricate and spread across most of the northern territory of the Wu Dynasty.

There is a hint of pale gold in the northern border of Wu Dynasty, slowly seeping into these streams and converging into the Wujiang River in the distance.

These breaths are the destiny of the country.

But for the entire Wu Dynasty, these little bits of luck were like water droplets in a river, not worth mentioning.

But for the priest, these gathered fortunes are equivalent to doubling the daily incense.

As long as Jiang Shen can transform in full, then one year of his cultivation is equivalent to two years of cultivation for an ordinary priest, and four years of cultivation for an ordinary monk.

But if it cannot be transformed, or if the Qi of Da Wu changes, the spiritual breath and spiritual energy will riot, damaging the sea of ​​consciousness of the soul.

It can range from being warm and nourished for a hundred years, to being more severe, it can lead to death of the body and the passage of time.

After all, the destiny of the country is an external object that is not easy to control for the priest who has achieved enlightenment.

Similarly, after nearly three months of travel and experience.

Ning He also easily saw through the mystery, and even knew that Jiang Shen had definitely been injured in this dangerous and dangerous national fortune.
To be continued...
