Chapter 139: Astrology (Text)
The surface of the corpse was covered with honey, and some parts of the body had already decayed, and it was tightly combined with the honey, making it look like a sugar man made of honey.
If it weren't for Zhang Meng's knife that happened to cut this corpse, I guess I wouldn't know that there was such a thing inside.
Thinking that the corpse oil and honey had been mixed for I don't know how long, and that he had eaten sweetly just now, Zhang Meng felt sick to his stomach.
"Gross!"
The fat man looked at the almost weathered corpse in amazement, his throat was still squirming, as if he was swallowing the honey, the fat man's face suddenly turned extremely pale, he ran to the side and retched frantically, desperately picking at his throat, trying to spit out the honey that he had eaten.
On the way, hearing what Zhang Meng said, and then looking at the fat man's languishing expression, Chen Cripple and Ada were overjoyed.
"This wild bee probably took that corpse to make a hive......
Ada thought for a while and said with a smile, this possibility is very high, he once found a belly of bees in the belly of a brown bear, if he hadn't run fast when he saw this, he would have been hit.
"Haha, I didn't expect you to have a soft spot for that corpse, fat man, and actually gnawed a piece and ate it."
Zhang Meng felt very funny when he saw the fat man's expression, so he was disgusted again, making you eat so happily just now.
"Don't say it, don't say it!"
When the fat man heard this, the flesh on his face twitched, he had eaten so much just now that he might have swallowed some of it......
"By the way, Ada, where are we going now? Now that this bee pack is no longer a threat to us, we should move on or find another way. ”
"This road can't be walked, although 'sparse outside and dense inside' is a common law in the mountains, but it is not immutable. You see this poisonous bee bag lying here, it's obvious that no one is here to pass guò, not even some animals, things like black wolves are particularly sensitive to danger, this road is very likely to lead to the depths of the mountains, we will definitely die if we go. Ada said, shaking her head.
"Then let's go back the way we came! Let's see if we can go back. ”
Chen Cripple nodded, and said this sentence a little inexplicably.
Thinking of what Zhao San said before, Zhang Meng felt that it was impossible, in order to prevent mistakes, he specially used multiple marks, and there were special marks on those marks to prevent people from tampering.
Zhang Meng carefully recognized the marks he made along the road, but as he walked, Zhang Meng's expression began to feel a little wrong.
"This seems a little strange here, Ada, have we been here?"
"No, Boss Zhang, did you make a mistake? How did we not turn back the way we came. Adam said with a smile.
Zhang Meng's eyes widened: "This is impossible, this mark will definitely not be wrong, it is my handwriting, why did we come to another place?" ”
There are the most forks in the mountain, and sometimes there are no dirt roads, so you can only trample through those thorny places, and in this case, in addition to tools such as compasses, road signs are particularly important.
"We can't go any further, if there are a few mandrills here, I'm afraid none of us will be able to avoid them!"
Zhao San frowned and said, in front of them is a field of weeds of different heights, these messy grasses are the best hiding place for wild beasts, and everyone can't guard against them in the open field, let alone this kind of place.
"Impossible......"
Zhang Meng carefully looked at the mark, this was obviously done by himself, but he obviously hadn't been to this place. They had specially chosen some open places to walk in before, just to prevent the attack of the 'Blue-Faced Mountain God', how could they come to such a dangerous place.
"I said Boss Zhang, you just give up! Lao Tzu was as inexplicable as you yesterday, just get used to it, I didn't expect you to find a way back. The fat man said.
"What then?" Zhang Meng's heart tightened.
"According to the fat man, what we see now must be some tricks, just go forward one way, even if it is to go to the moon for nine days or catch turtles in the five oceans, Lao Tzu wants to see what can be done to the fat man in this mountain!"
"Little fat man, you have it, I don't know what virtue you have." Zhao San said angrily, during this period of getting along, he knew that this fat man was a greedy master who was afraid of death, and he was definitely the first to run if there was anything.
Zhang Meng didn't go to fight with the fat Zhao San and them at this time, he continued to look at the marks he portrayed without giving up, the portrayal of the marks was obviously his own handwriting, how could he take himself in another direction? It's completely illogical.
"That's not right!"
A flash of light suddenly flashed in Zhang Meng's head, and he shouted loudly, which immediately attracted Zhao San's attention.
Zhao San's face was a little surprised: "What did Ah Meng find?" ”
"The mark is in the wrong place, I remember when I made this mark, I chose a camphor tree. The camphor tree has a domineering habit, and there are generally no weeds under the tree, but you can see that it is overgrown here, and this is obviously not the place where I made a mark! ”
Zhang Meng's brain was racing.
"Little brother, you must be misremembering. Look, isn't the strip of cloth on the tree the same one?" The fat man pointed to the strip of cloth on the treetops and yawned.
"Nope! If Ah Meng said that it was not this place, then someone must have moved this mark. ”
Zhao San nodded and said, Zhang Meng's memory is clear to him, even Liu Qu's tomb can be memorized as complicated, this memory, even in the whole of Hong Kong, can not find ten.
"Someone must have touched this mark, and the place where I made the mark is definitely not here!" Zhang Meng said with certainty.
He felt that the person who moved the mark was a master of calligraphy, and he imitated it with one stroke at a time, and even the yellow fluorescent cloth moved together, making people mistakenly think that this was the place to make the mark.
Zhang Meng felt a little chill in his heart, but he didn't expect that their whereabouts would be targeted early in the morning, and the place pointed to by this mark would definitely not be a good place.
"We're targeting ......"
Zhao San's face was ugly, they had already raised their vigilance to the extreme in the past two days, but they still didn't find any suspicious signs, which made them a little afraid, these people in the dark, if they put a cold gun or something, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"It's impossible, fat man, I'm sure, there must be no one behind us. Yesterday we walked in echelons, and the last place we walked was almost empty, and it was impossible for someone to go unnoticed! ”
The fat man shook his head and said, he also has a set of methods for stalking, if there is someone following him under his eyelids, he will not believe it even if he is killed.
"Anyway, we can't continue to go, Ada, do you have any other way to get out?" Zhao San looked at Ada and asked.
"It's a bit difficult if you don't leave a mark."
Ada has a headache, the roads in the mountains are the most complicated, especially in these places where no one walks all year round, even if you build a road to cover those messy grass and shrubs, you don't know where to go.
"If we don't need to sign it, we can only come at night and let God guide us."
Ada pointed to the sky and said with some hesitation: "But if the weather is bad, it is estimated that you will not be able to go out." ”
Zhang Meng didn't understand what Ada meant at first, but after thinking about it for a while, he realized that Ada was talking about walking by looking at the stars.
Uncle Zhang Shaohong once said that some masters can really see the fame from the stars, and the so-called starry road is just a superficial effort.
As early as the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, Gande, Shi Shen, Wu Xian, etc., each established their own star official system, as well as astrological atlases, and gradually explored some rules from this. When it was passed down to the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was the generation of Faqiu who touched the gold, and it was also the number one think tank under Dong Zhuo back then, called 'No', which was mastered by a Taoist called 'No'. He used the astrological atlas to help Dong Zhuo set countless 'golden holes' in Chang'an, so that Dong Zhuo collected a huge amount of wealth, after Dong Zhuo was killed by Lu Bu, this person also disappeared, and since then, the inheritance of the astrological phenomena has been broken.
Some people say that it was obtained by Cao Cao and passed on to Cao Cao's descendants, and some people say that they can't be ordained by Taoists and burned this astrological atlas, anyway, there are many theories, but most of them are speculation.
"Ada also knows how to read the stars?"
Zhao San glanced at Ada and asked in some surprise.
