The cruise ship arrives at Tomakomai Port.

February in Hokkaido is the coldest season. The trees and street lamp posts in the park are all wearing thick cotton hats, and the heavy snow wipes away all colors.

"Master God Lord, Lord God Witch, Lord Ise, Ichi, I am Iwai Tadashi, the mayor of Tomakomai City, and accepts Taigao's orders to welcome you on behalf of Hokkaido."

"Thank you for your hard work." Yuan Qingsu smiled.

Afterwards, Tadashi Iwai and more than 20 people who came with him knelt on the cleaned pier of the snow and saluted the Hokkaido witch:

"Samaya Witch Girl."

"Yes." The Hokkaido witch nodded.

If the Omoto is the president of Kanto and the lord of Kyoto is the emperor of Kansai, then Taige is the master of Hokkaido.

Hokkaido, from practitioners to every cow that eats grass and produces milk, is the property of Taige, and the Hokkaido God Lord is the housekeeper.

The only exception is the Hokkaido witch of this generation, which is Liucai, who has the title of "Shengbait Witch".

Because she was born in the snow since childhood, she could see Shikigami without practicing. Taige called her the incarnation of Xue and was Hokkaido's recognition of his achievements over the years.

Genko So did not stay in the ‘Tamakomai City’, and Taige had arranged a residence for them, just in Sapporo, the Ice Lantern Festival.

Yuan Qingsu's belly was alone, and followed a man named Shuigu to meet the NetTaige, where he was on vacation.

Over the Okhotsk Sea in February is shrouded in a low gray area.

There is no wind, a gray sky, a lead-gray sea, and a pure white ice field. The world seems to be frozen.

Walking into the ice field, Yuan Qingsu looks out at the bottom of his eyes.

The ice field is not as flat and smooth as you see on the shore. In some places, it raises like small soil slopes, like waves in the air, and it is frozen before it can fall.

On this frozen sea, there are tents of fishermen everywhere.

"Carrying out the ice cave on the ice and fishing leisurely is a winter scene that only exists in the north." What should have been intoxicated and proud of, Mizutani still introduced it in an ice-like tone.

"All these are ordinary people?" Yuan Qingsu looked at the female tourist who slipped on the ice and was ridiculed by the child.

"There are practitioners, most of them, and they all come to travel."

"Aren't you afraid of monsters?"

"With Ah Han here, no monster dares to attack the coast in this season." Mizutani's tone finally fluctuated. I don't know whether it was admiration or fear.

In Yuan Qingsu's ear, the mantra that Shen Lin Yuzi said sounded again, which was both power and restraint.

Everything is a curse, and monsters are no exception.

"Master God, the orange tent in front of you." Mizutani stopped.

"Thank you." Yuan Qingsu said.

Mizuno bowed his waist and walked towards the shore along the way he came.

Yuan Qingsu looked back and saw his leaving back as if he had walked back from the frozen wilderness.

He turned around and walked towards the orange convertible that looked quite professional, which was still just an ordinary tent.

A few white-feathered seabirds flew past behind huge ice cubes like hills and flew towards the sea, silently, like a few snowflakes floating by.

"Master Taige." Yuan Qingsu stood outside the tent.

"Is it Qingsu Jun? Come in."

Yuan Qingsu opened the tent door, and the tent was very warm, the heating equipment was a very ordinary stove, and there were blankets on the ice.

In addition to the stove, there is also a gas stove. There is a pan on the gas stove. I probably want to fry the fish, but the fire has not been opened yet.

Taige is wearing a quaint jacket and has thin cheeks. Compared to the cool festival, he is much more energetic.

Even though he looked sick, his appearance was solemn and mighty. His eyes were squinting and occasionally flashing with his slim gleam.

At this moment, I was in good spirits, but I was as good as an enthusiastic fisherman.

"Come on, I'm ready for you." Taige pointed to the right side of the tent, there was also a fishing spot, fishing rod, stool, and ice cave, all of which were available.

Yuan Qingsu sat down and picked up the fishing rod.

"Can you fish?" Taige rubbed a little in the bait between the two and helped him hang the fish hook, just like a grandfather who took his grandson on the fishing road.

"I fished when I was a kid." Yuan Qingsu replied.

"I forgot it all." Taige smiled, "You grew up by the sea."

Source Qingsu puts the fish hook into the ice cave.

There was a steel basin with red bait in the middle of the two;

In front of the steel basin and between the two ice caves is a rectangular plastic frame for fish.

"Have you ever fished for ice?" Taige asked again.

"No." Yuanfengsu replied.

"Die a hole in the ice and put a line down the hole to fish. Fish like bright light, so they will automatically gather over and you can catch it easily without even putting bait."

Yuan Qingsu looked at the rectangular plastic frame, and there was only sea water inside.

"No matter how high the skills are, fishing depends on luck." Taige argued like a grandfather.

"Is the ice-underfish delicious?" Yuan Qingsu looked at the clean pan again.

"The meat tastes very light, and it tastes very fresh when frying. It is also very good to make wine and dishes after drying." As he said that, Taige seemed to be greedy, and turned on the wine pot and took a sip.

"There are no monsters, and there are fish to fish and eat. Hokkaido is such a good place." Yuan Kiyosu sighed.

"What's good."

Taige handed the wine pot to Yuan Qingsu, and Yuan Qingsu shook his head and signaled that he didn't need it.

Taige took another sip before twisting the wine pot again. During this period, there was no movement in the fishing rod.

"In winter, along the Okhotsk Sea, from Kōnai to Chikura, they were surrounded by ice." He sighed, "Qingsu-kun, do you know that in just one night, the green and green sea turned into a white ice field."

"Because of Ah Han?"

Taige nodded, he raised the fishing rod, the bait had melted, and he wrapped some again on it.

The hands that had taken the bait did not wash them, and rubbed them casually twice.

"What does Ahan look like?" Yuan Qingsu asked.

Even Ji Gong Shiliuye didn't know about this problem.

"I don't know." Taige sighed again, "maybe it's a fish, a mountain, a drop of water, or this vast white ice field."

"This ice field looks like a terrifying giant monster."

"I want to leave this place." Taige sighed again, like the cold wind blowing in winter.

This tent has a good sound insulation effect, and the whole world is ruled by silence, which makes people feel creepy and can't help but wonder if the outside world no longer exists.

"How long has Lord Taige ruled Hokkaido for long?" Yuan Qingsu said curiously.

"Seventy years."

"Seventy years? How old are you this year?"

"One Hundred and One." Taige smiled, "If you enter the world of practice one year earlier, you can participate in my 100th birthday. Oh, in the words of you young people, it is a birthday party."

"It must be very spectacular." Yuan Qingsu's face showed her yearning.

"There are lanterns on all the snow-capped ridges of Hokkaido. Standing in the clouds, the lights are stretched, like a dragon of lights, and like the Great Wall of China. Have you seen the Great Wall?"

"I've seen it on TV. You like the lively and luxurious birthday parties. If you want, can you do it this year?"

"No." Taige waved his left hand and still held the fishing rod with his right hand. "One birthday is one year old, you are still young. When you are twenty-seven or eight years old, you can see the age of thirty, and you can feel a little bit of my current mood."

"Why do you have to leave Hokkaido, where you will live for the rest of your life?"

"It's because of my age that I have to leave here."

"Don't you like Hokkaido?" Yuan Tengsu asked.

"No one loves this land more than I do, but the older I am and the more things I have seen, the more I can feel the fragility and helplessness of being a human being." At this time, Taige's eyes appeared again in his cunning light.

"Taige will be vulnerable and helpless?"

"Taige is also a human being, and old age is an enemy that people can never deal with." Taige turned his face and looked at Yuan Qingsu, "...I heard that after you die, you will not only be rational, but also maintain a young appearance?"

"Do you believe in such a future? I will become the lord of the world and rule the Huangquan Kingdom after my death?" Yuan Qingsu also looked at him and asked back.

At this time, the fishing rod in his hand moved, and he lifted it up, with a fish with a palm hanging on it.

"I believe." Taige said, "I also believe that the future can change."

The fish jumped twice, fell off the hook, and fell back to the ice cave.

"I don't want to return what I have already obtained." Yuan Qingsu smiled, and his black divine power turned into claws and looked towards the dark ice cave. The fish was caught back.

Taige smiled discontently.

"I've heard of everything you've done recently."

"Oh?" Yuan Qingsu threw the fish into a rectangular plastic basket and hung bait on the fish hook.

"Seeking truth and being pragmatic, and having pioneering spirit."
