Chapter 26: Temple Grind
Just when Hua Banxue was happy in her heart and was about to use Xiao Miao's strange ability to explore Tashi's whereabouts again, Xiao Shi came to her and said, "Teacher, I have cleaned up the inside. It was clean and not cold. We've walked so much today, so let's take a break first. ”
Hearing Xiao Shi say this, Hua Banxue realized that she was already tired. She smiled and said, "It's fine." Looks like we're going to be here for a while. The coming day is long, so let's be here today and talk about it tomorrow. ”
At Xiaoshi's insistence, he was on duty first, and Hua Banxue rested first. Hua Banxue didn't shirk it, she was too tired, and she couldn't bear it if she didn't rest.
The next morning, when Xiaoshi woke up, Hua Banxue had already prepared some breakfast. After he ate his share of breakfast like a storm, he looked at Hua Banxue embarrassedly.
Hua Banxue smiled, gave half of her share to Xiao Shi, and said, "Eat." I'm full. ”
Xiaoshi asked, "Teacher, what is this food?" ”
Hua Banxue said: "Fortunately, Tashi had some supplies in everyone's backpack before we set off. I put the supplies for the two of us together and divided them into portions according to the minimum required quota for each meal. She was a little worried, saying, "In this way, we can support here for about seven days." So, we're going to have to save some food. ”
Little Stone was even more embarrassed. He returned the food that originally belonged to Hua Banxue to her and said, "Teacher, let's eat it." ”
Hua Banxue said: "Stone, you can eat it with confidence." After all, there's still a lot of work you need to contribute. I have less exercise and less physical exertion, so you can eat more. Her expression became serious and she said, "This lama temple is not simple. I have a hunch that we can all have a lot to gain here. Don't miss the opportunity, I will do my best to launch a spiritual power exploration to search for the secrets in this snowy mountain. You'll also have to take every opportunity to hone your martial arts skills. ”
Xiaoshi waved his fist and said, "Okay, teacher." I'm going to practice and see if there's any food to eat nearby. As he spoke, he jumped up and down the temple gate.
Hua Banxue shook her head with a smile, packed up the tableware, took out the letter stone, sat on the futon in the temple and began to meditate.
Hua Banxue's spiritual power is like a bird that has escaped from its cage, wandering freely over the snowy mountains. She found that the snow-capped mountains were not completely lifeless, and there were some traces of small animal activity on the mountainside, as well as sparse vegetation. She made a note of the location, planning to be in case she needed it when the food ran out.
Hua Banxue tried to expand the scope of spiritual power exploration. Although the speed of expansion is slow, with the support of the letter stone, the radius of the detection is still getting larger and larger. At the end of the day, she had advanced the radius of the probe by several hundred meters. This may seem like a short distance, but it's extremely rare. You must know that before coming to Xikang, Hua Banxue had been practicing hard, so that the detection range only increased by nearly 100 meters.
Although the small temple has magical effects, Hua Banxue still feels a little tired. She stood up, came to the outside of the temple, looked at the small stone that had cleared a large area of snow in front of the door to expose the black ground, and said, "Stone, is this all the result of your exercise?" ”
Little Stone proudly said, "Yes, yes." I practiced the Origin Field Force Fighting Technique passed on to me by Master Kongxing for a day. He flailed his fist back and forth a few times, bringing up gusts of wind.
Hua Banxue nodded and said, "Do you have any feelings?" ”
Xiao Shi scratched his head and said, "I just feel more and more proficient, but I don't have anything new to discover." ”
Hua Banxue said: "Practice makes perfect, and it is always right to train more." Let's rest, it's time for dinner. ”
Xiao Shi hurriedly came over and asked, "Teacher, have you gained anything?" ”
Hua Banxue said: "The harvest is some, but it's not big. I always feel like I still haven't caught the key. ”
Xiaoshi said, "By the way, teacher, have you found Brother Tashi?" ”
Hua Banxue shook her head and said, "Although my spiritual power detection range is a little larger, there is still no trace of Tashi. ”
Xiao Shi asked with a sad face, "How can we go back without Brother Tashi as a guide?" Also, teacher, did you find that strange guy? ”
Hua Banxue knew that what he said was to come up with the culprit who caused the snowspout, but she had no clue about it. She was a little embarrassed and said, "Stone, go in and prepare dinner." That's when he stopped Xiao Shi's words. But the conversation just now made Hua Banxue firm in the direction - to find the secret of that strange existence and find a way to go back.
The two of them worked hard every day to hone their source field power, and after a few days, they also gained a lot.
Through continuous attempts, Hua Banxue has mastered the method of projecting the source field force in one direction, so that the original large-scale and small-radius search can be turned into a small-angle, long-distance, and more directional detection. The detection distance can already reach 50 kilometers, but the price of using such a skill is that it will not be able to release the spiritual power source field again for most of the day.
Although this skill still has great limitations and proficiency needs to be improved, it is gratifying that Hua Banxue has successfully found the small village and town before his departure, and also confirmed that Tashi has successfully returned to the village and town. It made her breathe a sigh of relief. Hua Banxue also figured out the route back to the village and town, and it can be said that as long as there are 7 or 8 days of supplies and good weather conditions, the two of them can return smoothly. But this is only an ideal situation, and none of the actual conditions are present. So the two can only hope that they can find a way to contact Tashi in the limited time and find new supplies.
Xiao Shi is to practice the set of martial arts taught by Kongxing very well. Hua Banxue watched Xiaoshi's training a few times, and secretly admired his talent for martial arts.
found the village and Tashi, which greatly increased Hua Banxue's confidence. She began to try to search for the unusual presence. Unlike the previous close-up exploration of military bases in the mountains of Guanjiang, this presence is much smaller and seems to have a strong sense of interference and autonomy. Hua Banxue had already sensed some clues vaguely a few times, but due to the distance and the proficiency of the source field force, he was not able to locate them accurately.
On the fourth day when the two came to the small temple, Hua Banxue looked at the food supplies that were about to bottom out and became worried. She was silent on the surface, secretly holding the three letter stones by her side, planning to find the target in one go, and then find a way to leave this place.
Hua Banxue sat on the futon in the small temple hall as before, connecting the spiritual power with the small temple first, and then condensing the spiritual power into a bundle and projecting it in one direction with all her might. This direction was one of several directions that she had gradually locked in over the past few days.
Unexpectedly smooth, this time the spiritual power projection reached the vicinity of that existence almost without hindrance. Hua Banxue had clearly sensed the feeling that had made her very uncomfortable before.
