Lin Shuo and the others quickly returned to the foot of the mountain where they slept in the open last night.
Anne had heard that there was a crypt underneath this mountain.
But the entrance to the crypt, Anne had heard, wasn't anywhere near here.
Now that the bird is showing the way, Lin Shuo picks up this clue again.
After bypassing the mountain and walking southeast for more than ten miles, Zhang Jin raised his fist and made a stop gesture.
Although Zhang Jin can't speak dumb words, he is still very standardized in hunting gestures.
Then he looked anxious, and started gesturing randomly again.
Lin Shuo didn't quite understand his hand gestures, but he could still see the expression on his face, and he guessed about seven or eight points.
The information Zhang Jin got from the birds began to be contradictory from here on, some were talking about this side, some were talking about that side.
This shows that this is the origin of the snowman's operation, and there are people going in any direction.
The entrance to the Yeti hideout should be near here.
Lin Shuo twitched his nostrils twice, but found that he didn't smell anything.
Yesterday's heavy rain washed away the previous smell.
From after the rain to now, the snowman should not have been active near here.
This shows that the entrance to the snowman's hiding place is not just here.
Looking around, here is a valley, surrounded by coniferous forests, the vision is very poor, and the ground is still very muddy.
At this time, Anne was lying on the ground and listening quietly.
Seeing such a beautiful half of Lin Shuo's face, he stuck it to the dirt floor with a "slap", his eyelids twitched.
Before, no matter on the muddy or gravel road, Anne said that she fell down when she got down, and when she got up, there were either mud or stone marks on her face. Lin Shuo didn't feel that much.
As a hunter, when you enter the mountain to use your means, you always only pay attention to the actual effect and disregard the appearance.
It was different now. Lin Shuo felt a little awkward when he saw Anne's half face pressed against the mud floor, and he was not willing to part with it.
But this kind of reluctance can only wander around in my heart, and it is inconvenient to express it.
After waiting for a while, Anne said softly, "The soil is too wet, and the vibrations are absorbed so badly that I can't hear it clearly."
"Patriarch Su, do you want me to run around?" Zhou Lingshi suggested at this time, "Is there a source of sound when I run?"
"It's useless." Anne stood up, took out a wet tissue from her backpack, and wiped the side of her face. "This is an external sound source, so it can't get in."
Lin Shuo looked around and found this kind of mud all over the place. He simply pointed to the ground and said, "Pull, clean up the mud and reveal the rock layer."
After saying this, Lin Shuo pulled Anne's sleeve, and the two hid aside.
When Zhang Jin and Zhou Lingshi heard this, they squatted down and scratched the ground with their hands.
Although the thresholds of these two people are different, they all walk the way of cultivating strength, and they are able to use the whole body to rush through the mud. The movements are incredible, just like two excavators.
Suddenly, muddy water splashed, and the two sank at a speed visible to the naked eye.
Five minutes later, the hole dug by the two of them was half as deep as a person's body. They stopped their movements and looked up at Lin Shuo and Anne.
These two were originally thin, but looking at them now, they looked like two mud monkeys.
Looking at the hole dug by the two of them, Zhang Jin went straight up and down. Zhou Lingshi was more thoughtful and knew that the hole was bigger.
Because if the pit is too small, Patriarch Su, the future mistress, will have to curl up in the pit and listen with pouted, that posture is unsightly.
Therefore, the soil dug by Zhou Lingshi is of the kind that expands the territory and expands the soil, not going deep, but going to the side.
Now that Zhou Lingshi dug out the edge of the hole, Zhang Jin naturally realized it and helped continue digging.
The current pit is just right for Anne to lie down at the bottom of the pit and listen slowly.
From this trivial matter, Lin Shuo could tell that Zhou Lingshi was more reliable than Zhang Jin in handling affairs.
The two jumped out of the pit, and Anne jumped in again.
The biggest premise of the Su family's listening to the mountain and knowing the way is to have a sound source.
Especially in the case of listening to the opposite side or inside through the stone layer, the requirements for the sound source are even more stringent.
It does not depend on the volume of the sound source, but that it must be an internal sound source, and it must be stable and have a clear contrast with other noises in the environment.
For example, at the bottom of Longcheng, the water droplets dripping every minute above the pool, although the movement was not large, it was the best internal sound source.
In the heavy rain yesterday, there was so much movement, but it took Anne a long time to realize that there was a dark cave below. This was due to the lack of an internal sound source.
…
Anne pressed her ears to the rocks at the bottom of the pit and closed her eyes.
At this time, the earth is like an absolutely still string, very silent.
But Anne was not in a hurry, she knew it was because her heart hadn't completely calmed down, and the sound inside her body was louder than the sound of the earth, causing interference.
Breathing slowly slowed down, entering a state similar to meditation, calming down the disturbance in one's body and turning it into a stable background sound.
The earth, at this time, began to slowly become lively.
But this excitement is not what Anne wants at this time, because these are all external sound sources, which are useless for describing the outline of the underground space.
At this time, you need to wait.
"despair".
A very subtle voice entered Anne's eardrums.
Just like Lin Shuo can distinguish the types of smells, Anne also has a keen ability to distinguish various sounds.
She quickly recognized what the voice really was.
This is the movement of the soles of the feet without shoes touching the hard ground.
Just across the stone layer, it came from the ground.
There is a sound source.
If nothing else, this should be the snowman's footsteps.
But since it is the sound of footsteps, it is not a stable sound source, it must be moving and will stop at any time.
Hurry up!
But the problem is that the volume of this sound source itself is too low, and the diffraction of this sound source by the spatial contour is even less.
Without the diffraction of the sound source, the spatial outline cannot be formed in Anne's brain.
Naturally, the entrance to this space could not be found either.
So Anne reached into her satchel, took out a small porcelain bottle, and handed it over.
Seeing this situation, Lin Shuo rushed to the edge of the pit in two or three steps, and reached out to catch the porcelain vase.
The eyes of the two met, Lin Shuo knew what Anne was going to do without talking.
With a dignified expression, he nodded slowly.
Seeing Lin Shuo's expression and actions, Anne seemed to have no more worries, and smiled relaxedly.
At this moment, the quality of the sound source underground is very poor, and Anne needs to use special skills.
That is the real method of the Su family's "listening to the mountains and knowing the way":
Turtle breathing technique.
Because even after entering the state of meditation, the sounds from various organs in Anne's body were still too loud, overshadowing the diffraction of footsteps.
Especially the sound of breathing and heartbeat.
The tortoise's breath technique can make Anne enter a state similar to hibernation, temporarily stop breathing, and slow down her heartbeat to less than twenty beats per minute.
This kind of kung fu is very difficult to practice, and it is also the standard for proficiency in the unique skill of "listening to the mountain" of a hunter of the Su family.
At the same time, this skill is also very dangerous.
It has an improving effect on "listening to the mountain", which is equivalent to a shot of stimulant. In a short period of time, it will indeed greatly improve "listening to the mountain".
But over time, with the decline of various body functions, the nervous system will gradually enter a dormant state, people will become dull, and their hearing will also be lost.
This is not the worst result.
Once the tortoise breath technique is used, the process is irreversible, people will not wake up by themselves, but will slowly change from hibernation to suspended animation, and after that, the real death will come.
So this is a team skill, and someone must be there to take care of it and wake up the caster at critical moments.
In that porcelain bottle, there is medicine that can wake up the Su family.
Before the hearts of the Su family members stop beating, apply it on the temples, and they will wake up immediately.
But who should keep this porcelain vase, the Su family must be clear-headed.
Because whoever you give the porcelain bottle to is tantamount to giving your life to someone.
That must be the person you trust the most.
Now that Lin Shuo is taking care of her, Anne doesn't worry at all, and puts her ear to the ground again.
Brain, let go.
Breathe, close.
Heartbeat, slow down.
The silence inside the body, except for the faint heartbeat every three seconds, reached the extreme.
All attention is on the eardrums.
"Tap..."
"Tap..."
"Tap..."
Anne waited for three footsteps before losing consciousness.
…
After an unknown amount of time, Anne woke up.
She found that she was still in the pit, but Lin Shuo had already jumped down, squatted on the ground, and hugged her in his arms.
Her sense of hearing has recovered, and Anne knows that all the organs in her body are rapidly waking up.
At the same time, seeing Lin Shuo's expression, she couldn't help feeling a little joy in her heart.
Because she saw that Lin Shuo frowned tightly and pursed his lips.
He is feeling sorry for himself.
"It's okay." Anne smiled, took the porcelain bottle from Lin Shuo, put it in her satchel, and stood up with his support.
"Give me some time." Anne said, then closed her eyes again.
When Anne performed the tortoise breath technique, because the blood and oxygen supply to the brain was insufficient, she did not have the ability to analyze, only the sense of hearing and memory.
At this moment, she needed to remember the three footsteps she heard before she fell into a coma, and the sound diffraction caused by these three footsteps.
Anne has fought the snowman head-on and knows that it is about two meters tall.
Its foot span when walking is about 80 centimeters.
This distance, which is also the moving sound source of footsteps, every time it sounds in this enclosed space, there is an objective distance difference.
At this time, rational thinking and emotional perception are simultaneously working in Anne's brain.
It is difficult, but twenty years of hard training in a foreign land has yielded fruitful results.
A vague three-dimensional space image gradually formed in her brain.
The entrance, at the point closest to the ground, should also be relatively narrow...
found it.
