4. Adventures in the woods

When Han Laozhi told them in detail from beginning to end what happened to see the bear and the child, Lao Zhang and Xicheng both showed uncontrollable excitement, and the two of them almost said in unison, it's him! That's him!

It turned out that Lao Zhang and his entourage were not here to collect medicine, but to find a successor of their own sect. According to Master www.biquge.info, when he was very young, divination showed that there would be a person with extremely high talent and several generations of roots in this sect who would enter the school in the future, not only inherit the mantle of this sect, but also carry it forward, so that this small sect that has always been unknown will shine and be proud of his peers! But the master traveled all over the north and south of the Great Wall, but he never found this person. This person has always existed in the master's divination several times in his life, but it is always vague. It wasn't until the last divination before the death of the master immortal that the person's image was clearly revealed. So the master left a last word, so that the two brothers must find this person! So they and Xicheng took two apprentices to find two more local friends in the provincial capital, and they have been wandering around for more than a month without finding anything. I thought there was no hope, so I regarded this tunzi as the last stop, and if there was no clue, I could only go home. I didn't expect this last stop to be their blessed land, a trace of kindness drove away the forcibly possessed snake, and also led to a clue that could not be found everywhere, I have to sigh: everything has a cause and effect, only do good deeds and accumulate virtue!

The location has been determined, and it is within ten miles northwest of here. The characteristics are that there are giant beasts to protect each other, these two conditions are very consistent with Han Lao's description, the two brothers were so excited that they almost didn't sleep all night, and they got up before dawn to pack their luggage and prepare to go. Lao Liang also got up early, dressed up all the clothes for hunting, and insisted on going with them. It is said that they are familiar with the terrain and good marksmanship, and in case they encounter wild beasts or any danger, they are always better than those who are not familiar with the place. The men in the mountains are simple, and Lao Zhang and they have helped his family so much, he always feels unhappy if he doesn't make any effort. Although Lao Zhang and they refused, let him stay at home to take care of his daughter-in-law, who was still very vain, but Lao Zhang's stubbornness did not have to be stubborn at all, and the woman also said that although she was still a little weak, she had no problem taking care of herself, and she felt uneasy to let Lao Liang stay at home, so Lao Zhang and they had no choice but to let Lao Liang go with him.

The old forests in the northeast, the mountains are high and dense, and there are herds of wild beasts, and if you are not familiar with the terrain and rush in, it is really difficult to get out alive. Lao Zhang and his entourage were originally tall and courageous, agile, and then followed Lao Liang, who was born and raised in this place, and could run back and forth in the old forest with his eyes closed. Because they were in a hurry, everyone was quiet, and no one spoke. Suddenly, Ah Yuan, who was walking next to Lao Zhang, screamed, and his whole body sank, but fortunately, Lao Zhang reacted quickly, grabbed his arm and lifted it up hard, and several other people heard Ah Yuan's cry and immediately rushed over to help Lao Zhang lift Ah Yuan out. A few people gathered around the edge of the cave that trapped Ah Yuan and looked inside, but it was so dark that they couldn't see anything. Lao Liang picked up a bowl-sized stone and threw it down, everyone held their breath and listened carefully, but there was no sound at all after listening for a long time. The accompanying friend exclaimed: Okay, bottomless pit! Ah Yuan was also so frightened that his face turned pale: If it wasn't for Uncle Shi's quick action just now, I'm afraid he would have died!

Lao Liang also strangely walked around the cave for a long time, this place is not the first time he has been here, but this hole is the first time he has seen it. Not only did I not know, but the people in the tunzi and the elders never said that there was such a deep hole here. Ancestors have lived here for generations, and where there are traps and dangers, information is shared by word of mouth. A hole suddenly popped up, and it was bottomless, which made Lao Liang uneasy and very uneasy!

In order not to trap anyone in it, several people moved a large stone in unison to block the entrance of the cave, and then continued to walk.

After walking for a long time, Lao Liang suddenly said, almost, it should be here. Lao Zhang also took out the compass, and Xicheng looked around carefully for a while, looked at each other, and nodded. Xicheng said to his apprentice and two friends: "Be careful, it should be around here, everyone be light, try not to speak, so as not to alarm the bear and encounter danger." Lao Liang said, "Everyone follow me, after all, I have experience in dealing with wild beasts." As he spoke, he stood in front of the group, as if trying to protect them with his body. Lao Zhang patted him with emotion, and did not say a word of gratitude, sometimes, true gratitude does not need to be expressed in words. Lao Zhang glanced back at Xicheng again, and Xicheng nodded silently. The two of them were thinking about one thing at this time, if they really encountered danger, they must ensure Lao Liang's safety, otherwise they would be too sorry for this righteous and simple man!

Just when everyone was nervous, a whistle came from a distance, which scared everyone! Lao Liang reacted the fastest, rushed out with one arrow step, and shouted while running, someone is in distress, I'll take a look! Everyone froze for a while, and they all followed Lao Liang and rushed towards the place where the whistle sounded!

In the deepest part of the forest, there was a large tree with lush foliage that could not be surrounded by four or five people, and it was from this tree that the whistle came from. As for why he climbed to the tree and called for help by whistling, it was because there was a huge black bear sitting under the tree, which was gnawing on something that he didn't know, and raised his head from time to time to look at the tree, with a proud look on his face!
