Hole in the valley.
Mao Dahai appeared in front of Cao Yusheng and Wei Xingshan holding a handful of firewood.
The bald man put down the dry firewood in his hand, lit a bonfire, and then boiled tea.
After finishing all this work, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, looked up to the southeast direction, and murmured, "I don't know what happened to my elder brother and the others."
Cao Yusheng added tea to his purple clay pot: "Your elder brother is under the care of the leader, so nothing will happen."
The mastermind of the hunting gate had dissipated all his wealth a few days ago, but he still kept a lot of good things in his hands.
On this trip, he brought two purple clay pots, both of which were made by famous masters.
I was knocked out by Zhou Lingshi before, but now I only have this one in my hand.
If this one falls again, I won’t be able to drink tea this trip into the mountains.
So Cao Yusheng acted very carefully, refilling the teapot with new tea leaves, and then continued, "Mao Dahai, what do you think of this teapot in my hand?"
"Hey!" Mao Dahai touched his bald head, "Master, I, Mao Dahai, am a rough person, I don't understand this."
"I can tell you that this pot is worth fifty rhino horns." Cao Yusheng said, "Do you understand now?"
"Understood! Understood!" Mao Dahai nodded repeatedly.
"Okay, if this trip is safe and sound, I will reward you with this pot." Cao Yusheng said again.
"How dare you do that?" Mao Dahai stood up with a "scratch".
"Since I, Cao Yusheng, rewarded you, you can accept it with confidence. In the future, it is up to you to pass it on to your family or cash it out." Cao Yusheng said, "Sit down, I have something to ask you."
"Hey!" Mao Dahai responded, and sat down again: "Master, please ask whatever you want."
Cao Yusheng asked: "After Zheng Nanshan encountered the Snowman, what did you do with his body?"
When Mao Dahai heard this, his expression darkened, and he sighed: "Oh, what else can I do, that's my elder brother's elder brother, I'd call him a brother, I'd be considered a high-ranking man, I can't see his dead body in the wilderness, right? Bury it."
"Buried on the spot?" Cao Yusheng asked again.
"Yeah!" Mao Dahai nodded, and then said, "Accordingly, the burial will take place after the first seven days. But at that time, only half of the people were left, so don't delay that time. Besides, there are many wild animals in this mountain. I buried him in the ground, and all the corpses were taken away later, so I couldn't explain to my elder brother."
"Oh." Cao Yusheng nodded and asked again, "Then what did you do with the corpses of Boss Zheng's subordinates?"
"At that time, my hands and feet were weak, and I couldn't bury them one by one, so I just threw a hole and buried them all together."
"Then when you buried them, did you observe how these people died?"
"It's poisonous." Mao Dahai said.
"How do you know they were poisoned to death?" Cao Yusheng asked again, "Did Zheng Nanshan tell you
"You don't need Boss Zheng to tell me, I know it was poisoned, it's too obvious."
"Why?"
"Bleeding from the seven orifices! That death is too tragic!"
"Oh, the seven orifices are bleeding." After listening to Mao Dahai's answer, Cao Yusheng pondered for a while, and then seemed to think of something.
The hunter frowned, looked up in the direction of Lin Shuo and his party, and said, "Not good!"
"Uncle, what's the matter?" Wei Xingshan was taken aback and hurriedly asked.
Cao Yusheng didn't speak, but stood up and walked back and forth a few steps, looking anxious.
"Uncle, let's not be surprised." Wei Xingshan asked, "Is this kid the snowman he saw last time?"
"There is no poison in this world that can make people bleed from the seven orifices." Cao Yusheng said, "The one who can appear this kind of symptom is not poisoned, but the sonic attack of the white-headed flying corpse."
"Oh." Wei Xingshan nodded, and patted Mao Dahai's shoulder next to him, "You are really lucky, the last time you saw was not a snowman, but a white-headed flying corpse."
"Huh?" Mao Dahai was surprised.
"Actually, whether it's the snowman or the white-headed flying corpse, after all, this matter has passed, so it's not scary." Cao Yusheng said, "The scary thing is now."
"What's the matter now?" Wei Xingshan asked.
"Since what Mao Dahai saw was a flying corpse, we cannot ignore an objective fact." Cao Yusheng said, "That is, the flying corpse once appeared in the snowman's territory and cleared the invading humans for the snowman. In short, they are both highly intelligent species that have the potential to cooperate with each other."
Wei Xingshan froze.
"Once we hunters mistake the prey, we will be doomed." Cao Yusheng looked at Lin Shuo's direction and said worriedly, "I hope the leader can realize this."
…
Ten kilometers away to the southeast, next to the pit dug out temporarily by Zhang Jin and Zhou Lingshi.
Lin Shuo has been observing Anne, waiting for the result of "listening to the mountain".
When Anne was performing the turtle breath technique, Lin Shuo was very worried for a while, fearing that something might happen to her.
And now seeing Anne who woke up and was meditating with her eyes closed, his heart changed from worry to relief.
"Listen to the mountain and know the way" combined with the "turtle's breath technique" has long been a thunderous sound to Lin Shuo, and his old man has repeated it many times.
This is the first time I have seen it with my own eyes.
He originally thought that Anne hadn't mastered this kind of stunt, but he didn't expect that this woman had reached this point in her family's inheritance.
He looked through the secret books of the Su family, so he knew that the "turtle's breath technique" was not only a unique skill for "Listening to the Mountain", but also a prerequisite for the unique skill of the Su family to "enclose the land".
Only after mastering the "Turtle's Breathing Technique" can it be possible to practice "Enclosure", which cannot be bypassed.
Before giving Anne the Su family's "enclosure" secret book, Lin Shuo just thought it should be done this way.
As for whether Anne can practice, Lin Shuo said he was encouraging, but in fact he didn't expect it in his heart.
Because this is too difficult, the Su family has a history of thousands of years, and there are so many inheritance hunters in the ancestors, and they can be trained, and they can be counted on one hand.
That is something that only once-in-a-hundred-year geniuses dare to hope for.
Unexpectedly, Anne had already mastered the "turtle breath technique" before she was twenty-five years old.
To reach this point at this age, one cannot be separated from one's ideological understanding, physical talent, and personal will.
Give her some more time, and anything is possible.
…
After waiting for a short while, Anne finally opened those beautiful eyes.
Her wise and thoughtful eyes matched Lin Shuo's for a while, and then she looked to the northwest, which was a coniferous forest on the mountainside.
Zhang Jin also kept looking at Anne.
As a member of Zhang's family, the duty of leading the hunting team was driven into the blood of this young man with a club by his father Zhang Lianhai since he was a child.
Seeing Anne's expression at this moment, Zhang Jin understood, and walked away.
"Don't worry." Lin Shuo said, "You and Zhou Lingshi are covered in wet mud now, and the sun is basking in it, so you probably feel fine.
But not every one of these underground caves has a heat source like the Waixing'an Mountains.
Once you enter the dark cave, the moisture on the wet mud slowly evaporates, and the heat from your body will be lost unconsciously.
At that time, not only will the reaction action be slowed down, but it may also cause the root cause of the disease.
Anne and I went first, and you all dried off and changed into clothes before following. "
After saying this, Lin Shuo looked at Zhou Lingshi again.
Zhou Lingshi came out with him this time, just to lead the way, he didn't bring any luggage, and he only had this set of clothes.
Lin Shuo took out a set of his own clothes from his backpack and handed them over: "We are about the same height and shape, so we should be suitable."
Zhou Lingshi's face was obviously moved. The man nodded emphatically, stretched out his hands to take the sportswear, and said with red eyes: "Thank you, teacher."
…
The coniferous forest where the entrance to the crypt is located is the densest forest nearby.
Looking at a piece of dark green in the distance, Lin Shuo felt his eyes dim once he walked inside.
It is precisely because of this that the entrance to the crypt is sufficiently concealed.
It is more than one kilometer away from the place where the pit was dug to listen to the mountain.
And Anne kept walking into the depths of the forest, and Lin Shuo naturally followed.
After walking about five hundred meters further, Anne finally stopped.
Zhang Jin and Zhou Lingshi also followed, their faces were somewhat muddy, but they had already changed into a set of dry clothes.
At this time, it was very dark around.
Because in front of the four of them was a towering tree that blotted out the sun, the trunk was big enough for the four of them to hug, and the canopy was so high and dense that the sun couldn't shine at all.
Lin Shuo looked at the giant tree, and at the same time, his nose twitched, and he took a quick sniff of the nearby smell.
Whether it is vision or smell, nothing unusual was found.
But he knew that Anne was right, so he took a step forward and patted the trunk of the tree.
After this shooting, even if Lin Shuo didn't know how to listen to mountains, he could hear the problem.
The sound is false, the trunk is empty!
Anne was already holding a flashlight at this time, and started to shine up and down around the tree.
As soon as the woman walked to the back of the tree, a voice came over: "Here."
Lin Shuo and the others quickly took a few steps around and looked along the light of the flashlight.
If you don't look carefully, you really can't see it. The cracks on the bark are wrong.
Lin Shuo reached out and pulled, and a large piece of bark was torn off.
A half-person-high tree hole was exposed.
This piece of mud-sealed bark covers not only a hidden space, but also various smells in this space.
"Don't go in yet."
Lin Shuo made a stop gesture, then he took a step forward, and closed his eyes right in front of the tree hole.
…
Hearing the wind, all in between stillness and movement.
The person is like an old monk entering meditation, and the breath is like the flowing water of the Yangtze River.
The Lin family's unique learning is called "Wearing the Wind", and people in the school also call it "Wearing the Wind to Identify Positions".
In fact, "identifying position" is the most common usage of "wenfeng", but it is not the most suitable, let alone the most profound.
If you want to determine the direction, your eyes are always the best organs, and your ears and nose are just aids in this regard.
And the wind in this world is always erratic.
It sounds miraculous to judge the direction by smell, but in the end, it can only be approximated, and it cannot be too precise.
At least, it is not as accurate as Lin Shuo can use to bend a bow and nock an arrow.
It is precisely because of this that the Lin family is in the sky, coupled with a starling bird.
It's just that people leave their names and geese leave their voices.
The brilliance of the wind is that it obviously takes nothing away, but leaves nothing behind.
The wind in this world is in every possible way.
When the Lin family "heard the wind", they knew that they had seen it.
"From now on, be careful." Lin Shuo opened his eyes and said slowly:
"The trouble here is not just a snowman."
