Chapter 110: Before the storm

The room Lian Xue prepared for Jiang Luo was a small house with white walls and green tiles.

With its rustic style and seclusion, Jiang Luo is more than enough room for one person.

Jiang Luo saw a few birds flying through the green forest around the house, where spring flowers bloomed in the cold wind outside.

Lian Xue explained with a smile, "The Lian family has Tian Bi pond water penetrating the ground, the four seasons are like spring. But outside the Lian family is still the normal change of seasons, wait for another half a month, senior brother may be able to see the snow-capped mountains, but the green scenery in front of you."

Jiang Luo imagined, "That must be very beautiful."

Lian Xue nodded happily, "Indeed that is the case."

Jiang Luo looked around the room, the bedroom has a large window overlooking the back of the mountain, the flowers and trees in the back of the mountain is the normal state of the fall and winter season, dry black tips of the trees, the ground withered and yellow, the mountain is bald once again.

"Is that mountain also owned by the Lien family?"

Lian Xue shook his head, looking indifferent, "The Lian family's ancestral home only occupies one acre and three quarters of land, and that mountain was born and raised, not divided into who owns who."

Jiang Luo suddenly laughed, "Qi's family of a small mountain villa, but even the mountains are wrapped in it."

Lian Xue sighed, "They just care too much about that stuff."

It's small, but it has all the essentials. There is a kitchen in the room, but the company sends someone to deliver meals on time, and the hardware is all good, but there is no internet connection in sight.

"Can you network here?"

Lian Xue was silent for a moment, a pained look crossing her face, "I can't."

Jiang Luo sucked in a breath of cold air, and stared at Lian Xue in dismay.

Lian Xue nodded heavily, and Jiang Luo couldn't stop laughing this time, "Is this a month of living without a net?"

"There's a TV at home that gets the national channels, and besides the TV, you can read books," Lian Xue forced a smile, "We still have a lot of books here."

Jiang Luo lost the leisurely mood he was in just now.

But sadder still, no internet is no internet. When he went to bed at night, Jiang Luo picked a fairly interesting book among the many medical books, read a few pages, and quickly fell asleep.

From this day on, Jiang Luo started a boring life without internet.

The person in charge of cleansing Jiang Luo's body is mainly Lian Xue, and every day at noon when the sun is at its peak, Jiang Luo soaks in a wooden barrel full of water from the Tianbi Pond, and soaks uninterruptedly for one hour, that is, two hours.

Jiang Luo would put on a suit when he took a bath, and Lian Xue would bring his junior to help him every day. Over time, Jiang Luo became acquainted with the younger members of the Lian family.

The water of the Tian Bi Pond can drive away demons and evil spirits, wash away impurities, and keep one's body and mind pure. The Lian family prefers to call the water of the Tian Bi Pond holy water, and for those who need to be cleansed of impurities, such as Jiang Luo, even the water they use for food is Tian Bi Pond water.

Every time he soaked, the water in the Tianbi Pool would slowly turn from turbid to pure black. A large barrel of water could only last for a quarter of an hour under Jiang Luo's immersion. Lian Xue could only keep changing the water for him, and every time Jiang Luo finished soaking, Lian Xue and his senior brothers had to run around sweating.

At first, Lian Xue was calm. Thinking that everything is difficult at the beginning, just like cleaning up the dirt when the first time the water is the most turbid, more cleaning a few times will become clear. But soak for five days in a row, Jiang Luo's water will still be quickly dyed black in a quarter of an hour.

That water was so evil that even the pools of the Skybee Pool could only fight it for a mere fifteen minutes.

Lian Xue was completely flustered this time and summoned the juniors to come together to test if there was something wrong with the water in the Tian Bi Pool.

Jiang Luo was a bit embarrassed. He always felt that he had become a piece of ink in the eyes of Lian Xue and the others, and that any more water poured on top of it would only blend into a black effect.

The results of Lian Xue's tests came out very quickly, and of course there was no problem with the water in Tianbi Pond, so the one who had a problem was Jiang Luo.

Lian Xue found this result both reasonable and surprising.

What kind of evil ghost would make Jiang Luo look like this?

They couldn't solve this matter, they could only let Jiang Luo soak in it for the time being, waiting for Taoist Master Wei He, who was in seclusion in the back of the mountain on the seventh day, to come down from the mountain. Wei He is the most thorough elder of the Lian family who has learned the art of witchcraft and medicine, and he is bound to know what is going on.

But seven days later, Wei He did not come down from the mountain, but sent someone to inform the Lian family that his enlightenment was not yet finished, and that he had to postpone coming down from the mountain for three days. But after three days, Wei He could not come down even if he wanted to, because it was snowing on the mountain.

At the beginning of December, it was only the beginning of winter, but there was a rare snowfall.

Goose feather snow flurries, Jiang Luo holding a cup of hot tea stood in front of the window looking bored, snow will be the ground covered with a layer of white, and green lush flowers and grass formed a great contrast.

There's a surreal feeling of not landing on your feet.

Jiang Luo looked at the white snow, stupidly tempted to run out and step on it, he sighed and took a sip of his hot tea.

So boring.

Very boring.

Jiang Luo dropped his eyebrows wanly and yawned as he looked at the ground.

During the ten days he stayed in Lian's house, Jiang Luo felt that the years were quiet, but more than that, he felt that it was boring.

Even staying in the dormitory with Lu Youyi and the others playing games and poker is better than living a life with no desire.

Ten days, he felt like he was about to lose his hair, and Jiang Luo's soul screamed of discomfort and tedium. The memory of blowing up the boat was obviously half a month ago, but when Jiang Luo recalled it, it felt as if a month had passed.

Obviously, when he first came to this world, Jiang Luo's pursuit of excitement wasn't so strong, but after one crisis after another, he couldn't stand the blandness that he could once tolerate anymore.

He didn't fit in with the whole Lian family, even if he pretended to, but in reality, Jiang Luo found the bloody eel-covered Angonese much more appealing to him.

Lian Xue They all did not see the difference in him, and only thought that the reason for Jiang Luo's listlessness these days was because of the worry about the dirt on his body.

In fact, Lian Xue's juniors are even more worried than Jiang Luo.

Lian Xue swore to the celestial master at that time that Jiang Luo would be restored to cleanliness after one month. However, one third of the month had passed and there was not even the slightest improvement, so how could I explain to the Heavenly Master?

"Eldest Sister ......," the senior siblings looked at Lian Xue with sad faces.

Lian Xue looked out the window at the snow and frowned, "Let's see if it stops tomorrow."

But the snow fell for three days in a row before it stopped, and that ordinary deep mountain in the back of the mountain looked surprisingly like the feeling of a snowy mountain with perennial snow.

The snow is gone, but the snow is blocking the mountain. People down the mountain can barely get in, but those on the mountain can't get out.

Lian Xue clenched his teeth and, without further delay, told Jiang Luo to grab his things, "I'll take you up the mountain to the Taoist Master."

Jiang Luo did not hesitate for a moment and immediately packed up his things, fearing that Lian Xue would regret.

When he left Lian's house and walked into the snow, Jiang Luo took a deep breath of cold air and murmured, "Cool."

He was finally leaving Lian's house.

When it wasn't snowing, there were mountain roads. But now that the snow had buried the path, Lian Xue took them on a different, smoother road.

In addition to Lian Xue, he was accompanied by two strong brothers, one named Lian Qiang and the other Lian Bing.

The two of them were just over eighteen last year, just when they were young and vigorous. Climbing did not feel cold, but also climbed out of a hot sweat, in the snowy mountains like two steaming chimneys.

The two of them are lively, they are a little afraid of the big sister Lian Xue, so they are next to Jiang Luo, Jiang Luo is sandwiched between them, so hot and also follow the air.

Halfway to the road, Jiang Luo's goggles were already full of water mist from the heat, he took off his glasses and wiped them off, casually asking, "When can we get to the Taoist Master's residence?"

"Wei He Taoist priests like quiet, they live on the top of the mountain, usually climb three or four hours to reach the top, today the road is not good, it is estimated to take six or seven hours," Lian Xue tired gasping, rubbing cold hands, "at most six o'clock in the evening will be able to get to. "

"Oh," Jiang Luo's response was muted, "six o'clock tomorrow night, right? Then where are we staying tonight?"

Lian Qiang haha laughed, "Senior Jiang Luo, what's wrong with you, what senior sister said is clearly six o'clock tonight."

"Six o'clock tonight?" Jiang Luo paused in his hand movements and frowned at them, "Are you guys serious?"

Lian Xue was a little confused, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Luo's beautiful eyebrows shot up in disbelief, "You guys are planning to walk to the top of the mountain against the snowstorm?"

Three chills sounded, and the three Lian Xue's recoiled with even more disbelief, "A blizzard?!"

Jiang Luo was even more confused than them, "Didn't you guys see the sky last night? Obviously there's a blizzard coming this afternoon, I thought you guys were ready to go out with a place to shelter midway through the storm, didn't you all know?"

"Isn't it customary to go out and watch the sky?"

Lian Xue The three of them looked snappy, and Lian Bing said in embarrassment, "Elder brother, we haven't gone out for a long time, and we don't remember that there's such a thing as looking at the sky ...... All we look at is the weather forecast, and the weather forecast doesn't say that there's a blizzard today."

Jiang Luo :"...... "He was momentarily confused as to who was actually the native of the metaphysical world.

Jiang Luo took a deep breath and said as calmly as he could, "The weather forecast is giving widespread data, and I'm certain we're in for a blizzard this afternoon."

The two big boys looked at each other and instantly panicked, "Really? Brother Jiang Luo, don't lie to us!"

Jiang Luo was already surveying his surroundings, "You think I would lie to you about something like this?"

"How long before the storm comes?" Lian Xue, who rarely faced these things, was also out of ideas, she pursed her lips tightly, her chest thumping, "Can we go back in time?"

Jiang Luo looked up at the sky and shook his head with a solemn expression, "There's not enough time for us to go back, the storm is coming in an hour."

What a way to talk about excitement and life and death challenges immediately.

Jiang Luo's eyes were worried, and under the scarf's cover, the corners of his mouth quirked up, thinking that now, this was finally much more fun than those ten days at Lian's house.
