The search for cultivators in the deep mountains was not smooth, because the manpower of the police station was really limited, and they didn't want to make too much movement to attract the attention of Zhang Tao's criminal police team. Therefore, in the end, it was decided to enter the mountain in groups of two, divided into four groups, with Lin Jinghao, Da Shu, Pei Feng, and Xiao Zhang each taking a team member, going up the mountain in four directions, and then gathering in the middle.

I really stood outside the mountain, I don't know how big the mountain is, and when you walk in, you find that it is a mountain and a mountain, and it is really called a mountain outside the mountain, and you can't see the end at a glance.

At the end of the day, I only finished climbing a mountain, except for Lin Jinghao, who often climbs the mountain, the other people are already tired and their legs are shaking. The most exaggerated is Pei Feng, and in the end, it is said that he was carried down by a large piece of Li.

The first result was that 'the hermit seeker did not meet. 'I saw neither the hermit nor the hut where the hermit lived.

"Lin Suo, are we going to continue up the mountain tomorrow?" After the four groups of people converged, the big tree sat directly on the ground.

"Everyone wants to find an old man with a white beard in the mountains, but in the end, they only find a tree with a crooked neck." Xiao Zhang, who usually likes to watch fantasy and play extreme sports, not only sighed.

"It's hard work for everyone today, you all go back and rest, let me find this matter alone." Seeing his subordinates, all of them tired like this, Lin Jinghao really couldn't bear it. After all, these people are not like themselves from military backgrounds, and such a large-scale aimless search is indeed like looking for a needle in a haystack.

"Lin Suo, I suggest you find a mountain man as a guide, this is better than us who have no goals." For a weak scholar like Pei Feng, now he really has more than enough heart but not enough strength, and this trip to climb down, it is estimated that it will not take three or five days, and his physical strength will not recover.

"You're right, there's no way to find it this way." When it came to the mountain people, Lin Jinghao immediately remembered Xian Yu Shanhong, why didn't he think of finding this mountain to lead the way?

In the evening, I made a phone call with Xian Yu Shanhong, and the two parties booked Xian Yu Shanhong's motorcycle to be their guide at a price of 300 yuan a day. Shan Hong also patted his chest unashamedly and said: "There is no place in this mountain that he can't find, and there is no person he can't find, Lin Jinghao should have asked him to lead the way a long time ago." ”

After going to work the next day, Lin Jinghao sat on the back of Xian Yu Shanhong's motorcycle and entered the back mountain. As soon as he reached the halfway point of the mountain, Xian Yu Shanhong stopped, seeing that he meant that he was ready to walk up the mountain.

"Where are we going?" Lin Jinghao glanced at the front and back, left and right. In front of me, there is a road up the mountain, with a mess of shrubs on both sides, and there is no road at all.

"Director Lin, since what you are looking for is a hermit, it must be hidden in a place that is not easy to be found. I know that there is a valley two kilometers ahead, and the people you are looking for should live in these places, where there are wild fruits, mountain springs, farming, fishing, and many caves to practice. ”

As he spoke, Shan Hong walked towards the side of the road in front of him, parting the bushes with his hands, and a small path appeared in front of him, zigzag, as if someone had walked on it.

Lin Jinghao was about to admire the secrecy of this mountain road, Shan Hong had already taken the lead in entering, and as the shrubs closed, his figure disappeared without a trace.

Lin Jinghao hurriedly followed, entered the path, and Shan Hong was waiting for him in front: "This is a place that only those of us who live in the mountains all year round will know, and it is difficult for outsiders to find out." ”

After Shan Hong finished speaking, he turned around and continued to walk forward, two kilometers is a very long distance for ordinary people, but for a person who is used to walking mountain roads, it is just a simple daily trip.

Half an hour later, in Lin Jinghao's ears, the voice of birds and flowing water finally came: "Shanhong, are you coming?" Following behind Shan Hong, Lin Jinghao actually felt a little at a loss, and he almost had to trot up to keep up with him. It can be seen how different a real mountaineer is from an ordinary mountaineer.

"Yes, Director Lin, go to the end of the road and go out again. However, these hermits don't like to be disturbed by outsiders, and they usually close their doors or hide somewhere else when they see someone, so you'd better not scare them. ”

"No, Shanhong, if everyone runs away, then how can I ask people questions?" Hearing that these people were reluctant to even open the door, Lin Jinghao became a little anxious.

"Just wait and follow me, and when I knock on the door, you ask." Shan Hong looked confident, looking at his appearance, he must have done his homework first.

At the end of the path, there was still a bush that obscured the view. Shan Hong stretched out his hand to separate the bushes, and a different scene appeared in front of him.

A small stream flows through it, and up the stream is a quiet valley, and when you approach the valley, you will see the green meadows in front of you, and the air is cool and fresh. On both sides of the valley, the peaks and peaks stand alone, and when you look up, you can see a line of curved blue sky and white clouds, and a few goshawks are flying in the sky.

In the middle of the valley, at a glance there was a hut of small size, with a closed wooden door. Lin Jinghao stepped forward and was about to knock on the door, but Shan Hong stopped him.

"I'll come," Shan Hong stopped Lin Jinghao behind him.

"Bang, bang, bang," there seemed to be a sound coming from inside the room, but no one came out to open the door.

"Yes..."As soon as Lin Jinghao's voice came out, he was immediately stopped by Shan Hong's eyes.

"Buddha Amitayus!" Shan Hong suddenly read the colloquial language of Taoism, Lin Jinghao looked at Shan Hong, and before he could figure out the situation, the wooden door squeaked, and an elderly Taoist girl wearing a Taoist robe with gray hair appeared at the door.

"Who are you looking for?" Dao Gu is not afraid of two strangers, maybe for her, life and death have been thoroughly understood, so why be afraid of two men who don't seem to be bad?

"Master, we are looking for a middle-aged man in his forties, he should have been living in seclusion in this mountain for more than ten years, have you ever seen him?" Shan Hong flashed to the side, and Lin Jinghao hurriedly asked as soon as possible.

"Donor, most of the people in this valley are women, you are in the wrong place." The old Taoist aunt glanced at Lin Jinghao and replied.

"Do you know where male cultivators live?" Shan Hong's local accent immediately aroused the favor of the old Daogu.

"Little donor, since the people you are looking for have been put down for more than ten years, why do you bother to look for them again?" After the old Dao Gu finished speaking, she was about to close the door, but Lin Jinghao immediately reached out to block the door.

"Master, can you understand the feelings of an old father who is about to die of illness and wants to see his child for the last time?" As soon as Lin Jinghao finished saying this, even Shan Hong was stunned, and he immediately made a very painful expression.

The old Dao Gu's hand stopped when she closed the door, she hesitated for a moment, and finally spoke: "Because of the heavy yin qi in our mountain, most of the cultivators are female cultivators. Male monks in their forties should be on the mountainside of Bulao Peak at an altitude of 1,500 meters, so go there and look for them. After the old Dao Gu finished speaking, she glanced at Lin Jinghao's hand against the door, and Lin Jinghao immediately withdrew his hand.

"Thank you, master," Shan Hong hurriedly folded his hands in thanks.

The wooden door was closed again, and the two walked out of one or two hundred meters, and Lin Jinghao couldn't help asking: "Shan Hong, don't you see that your kid really has two hands, and he actually knows Taoist things?" ”

"Director Lin, don't make fun of me, this is all my grandfather's trick to tell me. He said that when you see a hermit's hut in the mountains, you should first pay attention to the signs on it. When you meet a Buddhist practitioner, you should recite 'Amitabha' when you knock on the door, and if you meet a Taoist practitioner, you should recite 'Amitayus Buddha'. Otherwise, they won't open the door for you. Being praised by Lin Jinghao in person, Shan Hong was a little excited, he smiled awkwardly at first, and then turned into a smug look.

After taking a few steps forward, Shan Hong suddenly looked back at Lin Jinghao and said, "I didn't expect Director Lin to lie, and he didn't even blink his eyes." Shan Hong looked at Lin Jinghao and laughed evilly, which made Lin Jinghao unnatural.

"What do you know, little boy? This is called a quick and witty, a white lie, do you understand? ”

Shan Hong is obviously in a good mood today: "Of course I understand, this is what grandpa said, 'unscrupulous means to achieve the end', even if he beats you or scolds you, it is actually for your own good, right?" ”

"Yes, yes, yes, that's what it means," Seeing Shan Hong in front and starting to walk back again, Lin Jinghao could only be in the back, embarrassed and perfunctory.

Walking out of the path again, it was almost noon, and the two found the motorcycle that Shan Hong had hidden on the side of the road.

"Director Lin, I'll go back first, and we'll go into the mountain again tomorrow, and remember to settle the accounts together when the time comes!" Shan Hong said and pushed the motorcycle and prepared to leave.

"Isn't it, it's only noon, so let's forget about it today?" Lin Jinghao glanced at the sky. He's also going to go all out today and find a few more places.

"Director Lin, is Immortal Peak very big, okay? There are many valleys inside, and we don't know which valley we are in. Now that it's gone, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back after dark. "Shan Hong has thrown his butt into the seat of the motorcycle.

"Shanhong, if you leave now, then I will only pay you for half a day! The master didn't say that he must be on top of the Ageless Peak. If there are any other places in this mountain where we can live in seclusion, you must take me to see it, and if it is in this mountain, we won't have to go anywhere tomorrow? ”

Lin Jinghao knew what the hell this kid wanted to fight. With such a good amount of money, why does he have to drag it out for two or three days, doesn't he? found it so quickly, he had to go to stand guard and run the black car again!
