Chapter 141 New Year (1/2)

"Roar", a two-foot-long beautiful tiger opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards Li Yan at the end of the team.

The tiger came down the mountain with terrifying momentum.

The fishy wind hit his face, but Li Yan acted very calmly.

The long knife in his hand was unsheathed, and a cold light flashed across it, and the divine light in the tiger's eyes was extinguished.

After ducking sideways, the dead tiger relied on its inertia and broke three large trees that one person could hold before stopping.

"Good knife skills."

Kong Tianyang sighed in praise.

Then he said to the other two people: "Everyone, take a rest first and deal with this strange tiger. After eating, we will continue on the road."

Therefore, Li Yan was responsible for disemboweling the body, Meng Rou was responsible for lighting the fire and finding dry firewood, and Chen Jian was responsible for grilling the prepared ingredients.

As for Kong Tianyang, as an innate master, of course he was watching the surroundings and waiting for the barbecue to come out.

Grilling exotic animal meat directly takes a longer time, but if the blood is injected into the exotic animal meat, the internal texture of the meat will be destroyed.

This will make the meat of exotic beasts cook faster than the meat of ordinary beasts.

The only disadvantage of doing this is that it needs to be killed and roasted immediately. The meat of the exotic beasts that has been infused with Qi and blood cannot be preserved and will even go bad faster than ordinary animal meat.

It took about two quarters of an hour to roast dozens of kilograms of exotic animal meat.

Some wild seasonings picked by Li Yan on the road were sprinkled on top, crushed and applied to the meat to give it a unique flavor.

"That's right. I didn't expect you, Su Han, to be so good at finding so many wild seasonings in the wild."

Kong Tianyang praised Su Han while eating the freshly baked barbecue.

"There are many medical books and alchemy books at home. After I finish practicing, I will read them. After reading them a lot, I can still remember some things even if I don't know how to make alchemy and treat diseases."

Li Yan explained with a smile.

The Su family where Su Han belonged was an alchemy family in the royal city, and the highest-ranking alchemist in the family was a third-grade alchemist.

"That's right. I forgot that your Su family has been refining alchemy for generations. It's not surprising that you know these things."

Kong Tianyang nodded understandingly.

"By the way, Mr. Kong, how long do we have until we reach Shannan Daocheng? We should have been in this mountain for two days."

Li Yan took advantage of this rare opportunity to rest and quickly asked Kong Tianyang.

Meng Rou and Chen Jian on the side also pricked up their ears and wanted to hear Kong Tianyang's answer.

"It's been two days. As for how long it will take to arrive, it should be about five days."

Kong Tianyang calculated the distance and everyone's foot strength and gave a rough number.

"It will take another five days! Are we taking a detour?"

Li Yan thought about how he only slept for one and a half hours each day for the past two days, and then he kept driving non-stop.

After two days of traveling like this, it still takes five days to reach Shannan Daocheng. Obviously, this journey is very long.

After all, Kong Tianyang used to walk on the official road, rushing during the day and resting at night. It only took seven days to get from Shannan Daocheng to Linjiang County.

In the past two days, when Li Yan and the others were hungry, they would catch a wild beast to satisfy their hunger. If they were lucky, they might encounter a strange beast. Just like this time, a mid-level strange beast tiger came to their door.

When thirsty, under the leadership of Kong Tianyang, they look for streams to quench their thirst.

It has to be said that innate warriors have a lot of magic in them.

Li Yan didn't find out the name of Kong Tianyang's innate skill, and Kong Tianyang wouldn't tell them. He only knew that it was a water-based skill.

Being able to cultivate the true energy of the water attribute is very sensitive to the water vapor between heaven and earth.

Therefore, he can often lead Li Yan and others to find water sources in the dense forest.

"It is indeed a detour. We are now walking in the Shiwanda Mountains. The word Shannan in Shannan Road refers to the south of Shiwandashan. Therefore, one-third of the land on Shannan Road is covered by Shiwandashan. "

"Nanshan City is the Daocheng of Shannan Road. You have also seen it. It is backed by Yiyue Peak, one of the 108 majestic peaks of Shiwan Mountain. There is also a hundred-mile lake in the middle - Yingyue Lake."

"The water aura in the entire Shannan Road is the richest in Yingyue Lake. Even if I am in Linjiang City, I can vaguely sense the huge fluctuations in water aura."

"So, I have actually been following that huge wave of water spiritual energy."

"Sometimes, when passing by relatively large rivers, the water aura of those rivers itself fluctuates, and the already vague fluctuations will be confused, causing me to have to take a detour to stay away from those big rivers."

Kong Tianyang explained very clearly, and Li Yan and the other three finally understood why they could not find the water source and the source of water unless Kong Tianyang led the way.

It turned out to be this guy who deliberately avoided it.

"No wonder this guy stops at every turn. I thought he was recognizing the way. It turned out that he was sensing the fluctuations of water aura."

Li Yan thought to himself.

After having a clear time goal, Li Yan and the others became more motivated.

After all, if you have a goal, you will have a direction to work towards, and you will no longer be confused.

"Hey, those traitors deserve to be damned. They forced us to hunt for food in this deep mountain forest during the Chinese New Year."

"At this time last year, I remember that the clan had already started preparing for the New Year's Eve dinner. There was a lively atmosphere everywhere. The clan leader, who usually looks very majestic, also looked very kind on this day."

As the only girl among the four, Meng Rou was more emotional, but for some reason, she suddenly remembered today.

Comparing her life in the family last year with her current situation, she couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion, and her eyes were slightly red.

After saying this, the other two people were silent. The barbecue that they thought was delicious seemed a little hard to eat.

"Last year, I was just 20 years old, and my cultivation had just broken through to the Yun Zang realm. I can be considered a genius in our Chen family. Many direct descendants can't practice as fast as I do."

"That's why I received praise and rewards from the elders on this day last year. If I can successfully reach the peak of Yun Zang in the next three years, the family will let me choose an innate practice method."

"In order to achieve this goal, I finally got a position as an envoy through connections, but I didn't expect it to turn out like this."

Chen Jian talked about some of his experiences in a somewhat sad atmosphere.

"Don't worry, it will be fine. At least, no one is catching up, isn't it good enough?"

"When we return to the royal city safely, the court will compensate you, enough for you to reach the peak of Yun Zang in the remaining two years."

Kong Tianyang comforted.

Chen Jian looked better after Kong Tianyang comforted him.

Kong Tianyang himself did not look relaxed.

"No one has been chasing me for two days, and I have been walking deep into the mountains and forests. I think there will not be too many waves on the road ahead."

"But when we get to Nanshan City, the situation is hard to say. It is still a fog there."

In the past two days, Kong Tianyang has been contacting the envoy of Nanshan City through the [Communication Jade Slip], but he did not get anything useful.

He even contacted too much, which made the other party feel annoyed and unilaterally blocked Kong Tianyang.

This made Kong Tianyang extremely angry, but he was powerless.

After all, he was just an innate warrior. Although he was more than 99% of the people in the Great Zhou, the envoy was a warrior in the Condensed Evil Realm and one of the top hundreds of people in the Great Zhou.

Even if he met the envoy five days later, he had to smile and let the other party calm down and forgive his previous frequent contact.

After Li Yan finished the barbecue in his hand, he did not continue to take it, but took the skewer of meat from Chen Jian's hand and grilled it.

"Su Han, why don't you eat it? I'll do it for you."

"It's okay, I've almost eaten, you can have a few bites."

"Okay then."

As he said that, Chen Jian picked up a freshly grilled skewer of meat and started eating.

"Hey, compared with the food of other clones, the barbecue in my hand is a little too much to eat."

Li Yan looked at the fire in front of him, but his eyes shifted to other clones and the original body.

Linjiang City.

Today is December 32, the last day of the 1235th year of the Great Zhou calendar.

On this day, according to the customs of different places in the Great Zhou, there will be different ways to commemorate this day.

According to the customs of Linjiang City, on this day, people have to worship their ancestors in the morning and report to their ancestors the harvest of the year.

In the afternoon, no matter whether they have money or not, they must set up a table of sumptuous meals within their means to reward themselves for their hard work for a year.

In the evening, it is time to watch performances.

On this day, including the next seven days, Linjiang City will lift the curfew and invite hundreds of opera troupes or juggling troupes to perform in various places in Linjiang City.

Even though Linjiang City was still under lockdown a few days ago, the atmosphere in the city is still warm today, as if it has not been affected by the previous few days.

There are only some scattered cries, indicating that the previous lockdown was not a dream that happened in Linjiang City.

Where Li Yan's body is.

Today, Xiao Zhao bought a lot of ingredients back.

"Yiya."

Xiao Zhao is describing the bustle of Linjiang City today to Li Yan.

There are opera singers, acrobatics, and many vendors pushing various snacks everywhere.

Speaking of snacks, Xiao Zhao picked up a paper bag on the top of a pile of vegetables.

Open the outer layer of the rough yellow paper to reveal the various snacks inside.

"Will you give it to me first?"

Looking at the snacks handed to him, Li Yan smiled and pinched a few more novel snacks and tasted them.

"It tastes good, you can try it too."

These snacks are all sweet, and Li Yan doesn't like sweets that much. After eating two bites, he pushed it to Xiao Zhao.

Xiao Zhao was not polite, and grabbed one of his favorite sweets and ate it in big mouthfuls.

Sometimes, when he ate something particularly delicious, Xiao Zhao would pass the few sweets to Li Yan's mouth.

After eating the snacks, Xiao Zhao would start to work.

It would take two or three hours to cook so many dishes.

Soon, the sound of cutting vegetables was heard in the kitchen, followed by the sizzling sound of oil being put into the pot, and the fragrance filled the air.

Li Yan was still lying on the recliner in the middle of winter, looking at the sunny weather today.

Jin Mansion, Neifu.

"Hurry up, if you serve the young master and the old master well today, you will definitely get a reward."

There is a stage in Neifu, which is usually not crowded, but on this day, it is particularly lively.

The best opera troupe in Linjiang County, invited from outside, is now making final preparations for the stage.

Although there are extraordinary powers in this world, people tend to develop this power in a destructive way, and not many in other ways.

Because as long as you are strong enough, you can grab anything you don't have.

After a long time, naturally no one will waste time and resources on other things.

Thus, this also resulted in the fact that the entertainment projects in this world were not much different from those in the ancient feudal era of Blue Star.

Li Yan felt that the biggest difference was that the vernacular novels and biographical novels in this world were more realistic.

After all, people in this world could really fly and hide.

Li Yan was sitting at a table under the stage at this time, chatting with other people at the table while waiting for the opening of the opera.

The days in winter are relatively short, and the sky gradually turned dim during the waiting process.

Then, a group of high-level Jin family members who had just eaten and drunk came in.

Everyone present hurriedly stood up and saluted.

After this group of people sat down, everyone gradually sat down, and the originally lively discussion became much quieter at this time.

The main character is here, and the good show will naturally begin.

The red curtain opened, and the first show began.

It was the first time for Li Yan to watch a play in this world. After watching for a while, he found that these actors all had martial arts skills, and their skills were not bad.

When performing various actions, it was very tense, and with their wonderful performances and good singing, it looked really wonderful.

This first play was about the founding history of the ancestors of the Jin family. The actors sang very hard, and the audience in the audience watched very attentively.

Although Li Yan didn't like watching plays very much, it was not easy to show it at this time, so he stared at the actors on the stage in a daze.

Guiyuan Peak, Guiyuan Sect.

Thousands of disciples gathered in the Guiyuan Sect training ground, and the training ground was already filled with hundreds of tables at this time.

There were more than a dozen dishes on the table, many of which were added with exotic beast meat.

Guiyuan Sect was also afraid that these people would not be full.

There were seven or eight jars of wine next to each table.

Guiyuan Sect usually forbids disciples to drink in the sect, but on this day they can drink as much as they want.

Just now, the leader of Guiyuan Sect finished his speech. Perhaps seeing the many disciples below reminded him of his memories, he spoke for a longer time.

Of course, the content is nothing more than explaining how powerful Guiyuan Sect was in the past and how weak it is now, encouraging many disciples to practice well and contribute to the strength of Guiyuan Sect.

When the sun was about to set, he realized that he seemed to have talked too much, so he asked the disciples to start eating.

The disciples who had been waiting for a long time were relieved, and then began to drink and eat with their familiar companions.

However, the atmosphere on the scene quickly became lively.

Among them, the most lively one was Xinghu. Xinghu was gifted and drank like water. He competed with more than a dozen people in drinking, attracting everyone to watch.

As for Li Yan, because he was already a core disciple, the table he sat on at this time was full of core disciples.

Among this group of core disciples, he was not only the youngest, but also the weakest one in cultivation.

Because Li Yan's combat power in Guiyuan Sect was currently only at the Bone Forging Realm.

"Li Yan, would you like to drink?"

Jing Wuji used his remaining left hand to hold the mouth of a wine jar and gestured to Li Yan.

"How could Li Yan refuse the invitation of the senior brother? Come, I'll drink first."

As he spoke, Li Yan picked up a jar of wine at his feet, tore open the oil paper on the mouth of the jar, and after touching the jar in Jing Wuji's hand, he gulped it down.

After a while, a jar of wine disappeared in his mouth.

"Junior brother, you have a good alcohol tolerance. Come, let's continue."

When Li Yan finished drinking, Jing Wuji also finished the jar of wine in his hand.

"How can you not call me to the drinking contest? I'll come too."

"And me."

"You men only know how to drink. Senior Sister Lin and I should just eat the food."

There were eight people at the table, six men and two women, all of whom were core disciples of Guiyuan Sect.

There should have been nine people, but Li Yan finished one.

Among the eight people, although Jing Wuji was the only one with a defective body, he was the one with the highest cultivation level, and had already reached the peak of the internal organs.

Li Yan guessed that he would soon be promoted to the Xiantian realm.

Therefore, he was called the eldest brother by everyone.

In the end, Li Yan drank all the other five core disciples down by himself.

There was no way, as a clone, alcohol had no effect on him at all.

In this way, Li Yan's first New Year in this world passed.
