Chapter Eighty-Eight: Nodes
The moon hangs on the branches, and the night is as cool as water. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
The weary birds had long since returned to their nests, and the mountains were silent, as if they had fallen into a deep sleep, except for the wind and spring flowing, and the sound of tinkling sounds.
On the back of a low hill, two bonfires were lit on the ground. One pile had two lunch boxes boiling wild vegetables and beans, and the other had branches propped up and a fat hare strung across it.
The rabbit was half-cooked, dripping with grease from time to time, making the flames rattle. Gu Yu took the salt and chili pepper, sprinkled a few layers carefully, and saw that the meat color turned golden, and then tore off a piece and tasted it.
"It's ready to eat. ”
"I'm fine on my side. ”
Xiao Zhai handed over the lunch box, tasted each other's craftsmanship, and nodded at the same time.
They had brought compressed biscuits, but the smell was so bad that they tossed them aside. Xiao Zhai knew all kinds of plants, so he was responsible for collecting, and Gu Yu was responsible for hunting, and he couldn't bear to hunt if he was too precious, so he aimed at rabbits and pheasants.
Just these two people, as long as they are given enough fresh water and seasonings, they can stay in the mountains for a lifetime.
Gu Yu took a piece of hind leg meat, casually chatted about the murder case that Zhao Jiu talked about, and said, "What do you think, is it man-made?"
"It's hard to tell. There are thousands of secret techniques of the Daomen, such as raising Gu worms, raising ghosts, and refining corpses in Xiamao Mountain, all of which can be done. But it doesn't matter, we're going to Shuzhou anyway, so let's inquire. ”
Xiao Zhai picked up the lunch box and wanted to drink wild vegetable soup, but after taking it and putting it back, he said, "No." ”
"Or?" he laughed.
"Hmm. ”
Gu Yu took his lunch box and folded half of it for her. She has a light taste and loves vegetarian food, so he is not taboo in meat and vegetarian food, and can eat anything.
After a while, the two of them finished dinner.
Gu Yu went to the stream to wash, while Xiao Zhai moved the fire away, spread a layer of flat branches in its place, and covered it with a thin blanket. The ground is extremely hot, and the warm heat penetrates up, and there is a kind of Northeast Kangtou's daring feet.
She lay down in her clothes and gave up half of her body.
When he came back, he didn't come up, but sat a few meters away and began to cultivate.
"Squeak!"
"Smack!"
Gu Yu sat upright and concentrated, and released his divine sense, and this small campsite was under control. The flames licked the dry wood and made a crisp popping sound, and Xiao Zhai closed his eyes and seemed to sleep peacefully.
Not long ago, until midnight.
He swallowed and spit out the breath of food and drinking, and the green snake leaned on his side, sizzling out the letter, obviously rubbing his cultivation.
The contiguous qi turned into wisps of white thread, wrapped in the power of the moon's Taiyin, and was inhaled into the body together. Run the whole body, nourish the acupoints, and finally blend yin and yang in the dantian.
"Hoo ......"
"Hoo ......"
Well?
Suddenly, Gu Yu stopped breathing, and there seemed to be a slight sound in his ears, like the sound of a meat pad stepping on the ground.
He opened his eyes, patted Xiaoqing, signaled to take care of his master, and leaned over there alone. Sure enough, a pair of noctilucent eyes peculiar to felines shone green not far away.
This is still a big meow, a beast located in the upper layer of the food chain of Tianzhu Mountain, a clouded leopard.
It stared at the human, intent on pounce, but the animal's instinct told it that it was not to be messed with. Just as he was hesitating, Gu Yu picked up a branch and scratched it on the ground.
"Choke!"
The branches of the tree were hooked with dirt, and they let out a golden scream, with a sharp aura.
"Play by yourself and don't come close. He waved his hand.
“……”
The clouded leopard looked at him, then at the forbidden line on the ground, meowed, turned around and ran. That's right, that's what the leopard is called.
Gu Yu sent the big cat away, wiped himself back to the campfire, and sat down again.
Xiao Zhai asked vaguely, "What's the matter?"
"It's okay...... Go to sleep. ”
"Hmm. ”
She lazily rolled over.
……
Before they knew it, they had been in the mountains for four days.
The area on the map is getting smaller and smaller, and their mood is getting more and more agitated. For four whole days, facing the continuous mountains, looking and exploring step by step, it was very, very wearing.
In the afternoon of this day, the two of them searched for nothing again, so they rested first and prepared lunch.
The camp is near a small river and is spacious and open. Gu Yu hunted a pheasant, Xiao Zhai picked some wild fruits, and was cleaning them by the river.
Xiao Zhai washed the fruit, took one in his mouth, fed him another one, and sighed: "Before we come in, the next app for counting steps and redeeming prizes will be fine." ”
"yes, let's stay for a few more days, even the down payment is enough. Gu Yu also sighed.
"But the good news is that there are fewer and fewer places to go. ”
"Well, it means that we are getting closer and closer to the goal. ”
“……”
The two of them glanced at each other, there was no way, they could only be so comforted.
Gu Yu squatted by the river, cut open the belly of the chicken, and washed it with some water. The sticky clumps of internal organs and intestines floated away along the river, exuding a faint smell of blood.
Xiao Zhai looked left and right boredly, looking at the river from time to time, and suddenly her eyes froze, and she reminded: "Be careful!"
"Whoa!"
As soon as the words fell, I saw a strange fish leap out of the river, with a big mouth full of sharp teeth biting Gu Yu's fingers. He frowned slightly, and pressed down with his left hand, and directly buckled the fin.
Again and again, with a flick, the fish was already twitching on the shore.
"It's ......"
Gu Yu picked it up, recognized it for a long time, and exclaimed, "This is a black fish, right? Why is the head so big?"
He would never be mistaken, it was a black fish, but with a large head and sharp teeth, it looked quite terrifying.
"These teeth have caught up with the piranha, is it mutated...... Huh?"
He paused suddenly, looked at Xiao Zhai, and the two of them instantly had a heart-to-heart connection, and they were both a little excited.
Before looking for the old tree, I passed a nest of alienated poisonous mosquitoes, and in this river, there are big-headed black fish, and it is a clue to keep it or not.
So they hurriedly ate their meals and searched up the river.
After walking for nearly 30 minutes, I finally found a natural cave under a cliff, and the river flowed from the cave.
"The aura has become very strong, yes, this is it!"
Gu Yu felt it and was very sure.
After a little preparation, they raised their feet and went into the cave. The cave was so large that it did not seem to be deep, and although the light inside was dim, it was not dark. The gravel on both sides is the shore, and you can barely walk.
The two of them were extremely cautious, always paying attention to the smooth flow of breath, and once they felt a little uncomfortable, they immediately withdrew.
"Tick tock!"
From time to time, water droplets fell overhead, and strange fish jumped out of the river, all of them were hideous and terrifying, and their big mouths opened as if to deter, and then they pounced and fell back.
This cave is really not deep, and it will come to an end after walking dozens of meters. The two of them held on to the stone wall and stood carefully, secretly amazed.
The inside was dead, the space became more and more open, and the most amazing thing was that a small lake was formed here, and the center of the lake was bubbling and gushing, as if there was a spring erupting from the ground.
"Finally found it!"
As soon as the two of them met, the energy they had been holding back finally let go.
"How's that?" asked Xiao Zhai.
"Hoo ......"
Gu Yu took a deep breath and exhaled it again, with the expected sense of excitement. He didn't answer, but stretched out his hand and compared it to a big six.
