Chapter 524: Finding a Water Source and Finding a Clue
Zhihong didn't stay here for long, and after a slight rest, he continued to walk forward.
Along the way, Xun Yu was like hundreds of ducks, constantly whispering in Zhihong's ears.
If it weren't for the fact that Zhihong had developed a good heart because of his cultivation, I am afraid that Xun Yu's approach alone would have allowed Zhihong to teach him a lesson.
"Prime Minister doesn't need to learn these skills now, your Wenchen's talent is actually excellent, as long as the time comes, you will be able to learn without a teacher."
Zhihong said helplessly again, he didn't know how many times he had said it along the way.
But Xun Yu has always been unable to listen, and he has to let him teach him what to do.
"Prime Minister, Lord Taishou, we found a water source ahead!"
Just when Xun Yu was about to play his offensive again, a soldier suddenly ran from a distance and said seriously to the two.
"Huh? Have a water source? Don't drink it privately! ”
Zhihong frowned slightly, and said to the soldiers in front of him with a serious face.
"Some of these mountain water sources contain a lot of toxins, and if you drink them by mistake, it can be said that they are directly similar to drinking poison."
"No!" As soon as the soldier had finished speaking, he rode in the direction he had come, for fear that someone had secretly drunk the water from the water source during the time he had been away.
After Zhihong and Xun Yu saw this, they also hurriedly rushed up.
After walking through a forest, a pool of clear spring water appeared in front of everyone.
The surrounding area is overgrown with trees, as if you have come to a fairyland.
"It's a nice view."
Xun Yu looked at the surroundings and said with an appreciative expression, at this time he almost forgot what he came here for.
"Is there water or no fish?" Zhihong didn't pay attention to the surrounding environment, but focused on the small pond in front of him.
"None of you drink it, do you?"
Faced with Zhihong's question, those soldiers who came in advance shook their heads slightly.
"It's good luck, let's go around and find out if there is any animal droppings..."
Zhihong said to the soldiers around him again.
"If there's no animal waste or footprints around, don't drink the water."
"No." For a moment, all the soldiers quickly dispersed towards the surroundings and began to collect the surrounding environment.
"Won't we continue on our way, Daoist?" Xun Yu looked at the soldiers who were constantly searching around and asked with some doubts.
"At first glance, the prime minister has never been to these mountains, we can't compare to those plants and animals, and we need water more than them."
Zhihong said meaningfully, "And the water system in this Taihang Mountain is very complicated, once the water here is poisonous, then the nearby water sources are estimated to be toxins." ”
"The Taoist chief is very strategic, and he actually used this method to deduce the general direction of his son-in-law, and Yu was taught."
Xun Yu listened to Zhihong's explanation, and a look of shock appeared on his face.
Now he feels that the longer he follows Zhihong, the more he will be able to learn a lot of knowledge that he will not know.
"It's just a trail, it's just that you didn't react, so you didn't think of it."
Zhihong touched his beard proudly and said, now he seems to have abandoned the difference in the workplace, everything is perfect
returned to his true colors.
"Reportedly, we have found no signs of wild beasts in the vicinity."
A soldier rushed over to Zhihong and Xun Yu in front of him and said, "There are almost no other animals in this area except for some birds. ”
"It seems that there is a problem with this water source, okay, let's go, there is still a long way to go."
Zhihong listened to the soldier's report, shook his head in some frustration, and then turned on his horse and walked towards the high side.
This walk is a day and a night, and the scenery along the way makes Xun Yu can't help but be amazed.
It seems that the deeper you go to the depths of the Taihang Mountain, the smaller the locust plague will become, and the woods along the way will become denser and denser.
But with the environment along the way, all the people knew in their hearts that it was not because there were no locusts here, but because these plants grew rapidly under the nourishment of the aura.
"Originally, I thought that my brainless son-in-law would not use the grain and grass, but now it seems that my worry is completely unnecessary."
Zhihong looked at the beautiful scene in front of him and said slowly.
"Why should the Taoist be worried? I'm afraid that wild beasts are indispensable for such beauty here, and Ling Son-in-law can use these wild things to ascend the throne. ”
Xun Yu also said with a smile on his face, and in the middle of that conversation, he had already seen a few fat rabbits running past his sight.
"There are so many wild things here, and I don't know if they're here."
Zhihong glanced at his surroundings and said expectantly.
At this time, what hope in his heart, that familiar figure appeared in front of him.
"Dao Chief, don't worry, they'll be fine, come and search this place carefully for me to see if there are any signs of human activity!"
Xun Yu said loudly to the stiff behind him, and the serious voice continued to spread out, startling the birds in the forest.
Soon the soldiers began to search the road with ease.
Suddenly, there was another scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping in this forest.
"Report to the Prime Minister, we have found something over there!"
A soldier soon came to the two of them and said seriously.
"What? Take us to see it! ”
Zhihong immediately grabbed the soldier's shoulders and said in a very excited tone.
And the soldier was stupid, and he was in a state of panic.
The surrounding soldiers were also very surprised when they looked at the scene in front of them.
And Xun Yu looked around blankly, as a generation of civil servants, he didn't know what was going on.
That's why these soldiers were so surprised.
Perhaps only these wolf-toothed soldiers present knew what was going on in this moment.
was caught, and the elite soldier who was a wolf tooth was caught by a Taoist.
As a wolf-toothed soldier, he knew that even if he died, he could not be caught by the enemy.
Even if the latter is the case, there is a chance that they will be rescued by their own comrades....
So the first lesson of the wolf's tooth training is to dodge, to dodge all the dangers that can be avoided.
But such an elite soldier was actually grabbed by Zhihong's shoulders in an instant, how could it not make those soldiers feel a little frightened.
"Say! Where! ”
Zhihong doesn't care what the soldiers in his hands are thinking now.
After seeing that he didn't speak for so long, he directly let go of him and threw him aside, and he walked quickly in the direction of Fang Cai.
Very open in everyone's eyes, Zhihong found the so-called clue.
It was a broken arrow, a broken arrow that had long been wrapped in dirt.
"This is ....."
Zhihong looked at the broken arrow under his feet, and a trace of tears flashed in his eyes.
"Quickly send someone to search here, we have gone so deep into Taihang, it is impossible for anyone here except my son-in-law to be here!"
Listening to Zhihong's words, the soldiers who had been gathered spread out again.
"Daoist, don't worry, your daughter will be fine."
Xun Yu looked at the broken arrow under his feet, and hurriedly comforted Zhihong.
In fact, they all knew very well in their hearts that even if the arrow broke, it would not remain here.
In fact, the arrows can still be replaced and used, and in such an extreme shortage of materials, each arrow is naturally more precious.
"Hopefully...."Zhihong slowly touched his tears and said with some loss.
"Daoist, you know your son-in-law so well, you must be able to know some of his habits, why don't we go around too..."
Xun Yu looked at Zhihong, who was still very sad, and hurriedly said seriously.
"That's fine, maybe you can find something out of it....."
Zhihong also nodded slightly and said, now it can only be like this.
Soon Xun Yu took Zhihong to the highest mountain, as the so-called standing high and seeing far away, maybe you can find a lot of things from a distance.
When Zhihong stepped on the mountain, his vision widened, and the dense trees under his feet were like subjects, and they all bowed to Zhihong's feet.
Zhihong took a deep breath, calmed down his mentality, and began to look into the distance.
The whole forest is like a green wave, constantly shaking and shaking the place without the slightest strangeness.
After a long time, Zhihong could only retreat weakly.
"How about it, Daoist, have you found anything?"
Xun Yu looked at the retreating Zhihong and hurriedly asked suspiciously.
"It's so dense that I can't see what's underneath it."
Zhihong shook his head and said with some loss.
"The arrow is old enough, and I don't know if they missed it."
Xun Yu didn't give any answer to such a question, because she knew that even if she said they were fine.
Zhihong will still refute himself with strong evidence, and in the end he will believe more and more in his own thoughts.
"Prime Minister, Prime Minister!"
At this time, a soldier hurriedly climbed the mountain, his face covered with sweat.
"Prime Minister, we found a trap below, it looks like it was only ordered a few days ago, but I don't know why no one came to search for it."
The general said breathlessly.
"What's a trap?!" After Xun Yu heard the soldier's words, a touch of playfulness suddenly appeared on his face.
"Dao Chief, Dao Chief, we have new clues, new clues!"
