Chapter Forty-Eight: Collecting Water and Finding the Source Sees People's Tracks
Bu Zhou took out Sinan, and after determining the direction, he led Mu Zi towards the west of Kunlun.
This is a large road in the forest, and there are vague traces of people walking. After all, for thousands of years, Zhongnan Mountain has attracted many talented people to come to practice. This deep mountain, sparsely populated, excellent feng shui, and it is normal for people to come and go.
The forest is getting hotter and hotter, and after just a few steps, I feel that my clothes are already soaked, especially the humidity of the rainforest, as if all the temperature is attached to the skin, and the pores cannot expel the sweat from the body.
After walking for a long time, the sweat was sticky on his body, and Mu Zi was a little thirsty for water to drink.
Seeing her dehydrated appearance, even her footsteps were a little vain, and she looked around thoughtfully, trying to find out the water source. Although this is a forbidden place in Miaojiang and is in the mountains, but for so many years in ancient and modern times, the feng shui is excellent, and there are many creatures shuttling here.
Now he was worried that Bai Yi would fight to the death to take away the snow spirit before the catastrophe, and he didn't dare to use his mental power to summon the underground water source at will, because he was afraid of exposing the location, and secondly, he was so energy-consuming, so he had to find some way to find a water source to quench his thirst.
Just as he lowered his head and stared at the land, he caught a glimpse of the ants crawling, the ants like moisture, and there must be water near the anthill. So he called Mu Zi and followed the ants.
The ants are small, and the grass is overgrown, so if you are not careful, the ants will slip away. Therefore, two men and a monkey stared carefully at the ant under their feet.
"Buddha doesn't even step on ants, but such a small guy, he stepped on it without paying attention, hey, hey, that way." Mu Zi said as he pushed and shoved inconsiderately in the direction of the ant's U-turn, and accidentally stepped on a few ants.
The soil in the forest was wet and soft, and when you stepped on it, it was a footprint, and the ants that had been stepped into the soil struggled to crawl out. Mu Zi breathed a long sigh of relief, "Ouch, the vitality is so tenacious, I almost committed evil." ”
I didn't see that she was still able to have fun in the bitterness, and she was relieved a lot.
But the giant monkey monster, with a few inches of hair, covered his body thickly, sweated like rain in this weather, and the hair on his whole body was wet, emitting a smell of sweat.
Mu Zi was a little disgusted with this monkey with a heavy body odor, and several times when he looked down at the ants, the two collided, Mu Zi jumped away, and at the same time reached out to touch the sweaty place, these actions made the high-spirited monkey a little dissatisfied.
"Alright, you can follow behind." Once again, Mu Zi touched the wet fur of the giant monkey monster, jumped up, and pulled her arm over to let her follow.
Mu Zi was a little displeased, made a grimace, and then took the snow essence, comforting himself This is like a test of learning scriptures, Tang Seng as a master does not need to find food; As the leader of this group, I don't have to look for a water source, and I enjoy its achievements.
In this way, Ah Q comforted herself, and her mood was much better, and her steps were much lighter.
After walking for about half a pillar of incense, Bu Zhou and the giant monkey stopped, Mu Zi was puzzled and said, "What's the matter, don't move forward." ”
"The ants are back in their nests." Bu Zhou said lightly.
Mu Zi opened the two big mountain roads in front of him, and saw that there was a small lawn in front of him, so he squeezed through the gap between the two, looked back at the person who stopped with a happy face, and said, "Isn't that close to the water source?" He also took a few steps forward.
Before he could say anything, he saw Mu Zi, who had already stepped into the lawn, screaming.
"Ah, help." As soon as the girl stepped into the lawn, she felt soft, but the center of gravity of her body had shifted, and it was too late to close her feet.
Not thinking about it, he grabbed her hand flying in the air and pulled her out with force.
"This, this, what's going on?" The girl stared at the thick mud on her feet, and wanted to cry without tears, for fear that the shoes would be ruined.
"The giant monkey and I have stopped and blocked the way, you have to rush forward." Thoughtful and a little tired of blaming her, thinking of this trouble is reckless, always causing trouble, so there is no good tone.
Mu Zi's tears were rolling in her eyes, and she didn't know why the two of them stopped, and why she stepped on the mud.
It turns out that anthills are generally built in moist places, and if there is either a water source or a swamp nearby, and in this forest area, the appearance of a lawn itself is strange, and there is no tree in the lawn, it can only be a swamp.
So Bu Zhou and the giant monkey stopped after seeing the ants return to the cave, originally he thought that Mu Zi knew the art of Kanyu and could think of this layer, and when he pushed aside the two of them and passed through the cracks in his body, he didn't stop him, but she just looked at the feng shui here; As a result, she didn't expect to step into the mud.
Mu Zi was a little angry when he saw that he was not thoughtful, so he retreated behind the two gods in fear, and stomped his feet hard, trying to shake off the mud. But there was still a layer of mud left, and she couldn't shake it off, so she stood there sulking with herself.
Seeing that she was awkward, it was difficult for her to continue to speak, so she took out two pieces of cloth from her bag, folded one of them into a square, and wrapped the other piece of cloth in the middle with the stone, tied it to a rope, and threw it vigorously into the mire.
With a "thud", the stone sank into the swamp. When the stone sank completely, he pulled it out again. Then he untied the cloth and took out the middle one, which was now completely soaked and not stained with mud.
The giant monkey took a huge leaf, rolled it into a cup, and asked the giant monkey to take out a small porcelain bottle from his bag, and smeared the powder of the cleaning water on the leaf, and then held the cloth tightly in his hand, and the water squeezed out dripped into the leaf cup.
After repeating this a few times, she filled a glass of clear water, took the water and sent it to Mu Zi, but the arrogant girl only glanced at it and let out a "hum" from her nose.
But after all, he was thirsty, and his self-esteem was not worth a glass of water at this time, so after Mu Zi "hummed", he still took the glass of water before he changed his face and drank it all.
Seeing her thirsty for water, she was a little funny, and she couldn't hold back for a while, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "Drink slowly, no one will rob you." ”
The clear water slid down my throat, and although I was choked, I was immediately refreshed. A small glass of water could not quench his thirst, and some of the girls who didn't pinch it smiled when they saw it, and there was not much grievance left in their hearts, so they handed him the cup.
"Oh, I still want to drink."
Seeing that the girl was no longer petty, she didn't care about her carefully, and hurried to fetch water with the giant monkey, and when she was fetching water, she also took the time to say to Mu Zi, "Look at the terrain here, can you find anything." ”
When Mu Zi heard this, he raised his head and looked around, there was a wide field of vision, this swamp was supposed to be an outlet, and it seemed that it should be an excellent place to build a house, but for some reason it was not built.
The girl's puzzled eyes happened to meet the young man's clear eyes, and her heartbeat missed for a moment.
Suddenly, she understood what she meant.
Since ancient times, there have been many people in the south, although this place belongs to the dense forest, but for thousands of years, people have entered continuously, this is not a very remote place, there should be people who have come, and people who have cultivated should also stop.
In addition, there is a water source here, there are animals, it is very suitable for habitation, and there are traces of hunting. It won't be a paradise that hasn't been discovered.
"You're saying it was supposed to be inhabited, but it was destroyed?"
Bu Zhou smiled slightly, the girl knew that she had guessed correctly.
Behind all that is destroyed and covered up, there will be secrets that you don't want to be known. And this secret, in Zhongnan, is often related to cultivation.
