Chapter 245: A Night Encounter with a Monk in Hansu
The heavy snow had blanketed everything in white. A Daoist and a swordsman, two horses, and a single cat left a trail of footprints stretching northward.
They continued their journey, pausing from time to time to distribute spiritual energy, dispelling the demonic sorcery along the way.
Occasionally, they encountered other travelers.
Doctor Cai was not the only physician who had come to Gui Commandery, nor was Song You the only cultivator. Amidst the swirling snow, there were always those who braved the storm, moving against the flow.
But the heavy snowfall slowed their progress.
Song You had originally planned to reach Hansu—Gui Commandery’s northernmost and closest region to the Snowy Plains—in three days. However, by the third night, they still had not arrived.
The terrain here was flat, and with no villages nearby to take shelter in, there wasn’t even a spot to shield them from the wind.
As the sky gradually darkened, Song You sighed in resignation and decided to use a spell. He raised a mound of earth, forming a simple windbreak.
Lady Calico transformed into her human form and skillfully gathered a large pile of firewood, lighting a bonfire.
