Chapter 33: The Leopard's Shadow
After three months......
Since opening up the second vein of Ren Du, Yu Fei has entered the 'Great Zhou Tian' cultivation stage, however, he feels that his cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, and in a few months, it seems that there has not been much improvement.
However, he found that the power of his soul had been greatly improved, not only could the soul out-of-body time persist longer and longer, but also the range that he could see when the soul was out of the body was getting farther and farther, so he tried to use the psychic spirit to sense the Red Flame Divine Beast, but found that there seemed to be some enchantment in the place where the Red Flame Divine Beast was located. With his current strength, he still can't break through. It seems that you still have to get through the Great Zhou Dynasty first.
On this day, Yu Fei received a call from Luo Zi, Luo Zi said that two days was his father's 60th birthday, and he was going to drive back to his hometown. However, it was too boring to drive home alone, thinking that Yu Fei was fine, so he invited him to go back together.
After Yu Fei resigned, he never went to work, he speculated in stocks at home during the day on weekdays, and concentrated on practicing "Xuan Xiudao" at night, when he heard Luo Zi invite him to go back to his hometown together, he thought that this idea was not bad, on the one hand, Tang Yan had also recovered, and he just took Tang Yan back to meet his parents, on the other hand, he has encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation now, so it is better to simply take a break and relax.
Yu Fei suddenly thought that the beast and the monkey had been planning a trip recently, but they hadn't picked a tourist location yet, and their Shunhuang Mountain happened to be a good place with beautiful mountains and rivers, so he called the beast and invited him to go with the monkey, and the beast readily agreed.
At about nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, Luo Zi drove the car downstairs to Yu Fei's house, picked up Yu Fei and Tang Yan, and the beast and the monkey also drove the BMW SUV that the monkey's father bought for him, and the group of five people and two cars drove towards Hunan.
It wasn't until about 11 o'clock in the evening that they arrived at Yu Fei's hometown, Dong'an County, Hunan Province
The brute and the monkey went straight to the hotel. Yu Fei took Tang Yan back to his home, Yu Fei's parents had been looking forward to it at home for a long time, and they were very happy to see Tang Yan. Yu Fei's house is a four-bedroom and two-hall house, and Yu Fei's parents arranged for him and Tang Yan to live in one each. Due to the day's journey, Tang Yan felt very tired, so she went to rest after taking a shower.
Yu Fei sat in the living room and chatted with his father. He showed his father the Red Flame Ice Essence Pendant, and his father was shocked to see that the Red Flame Ice Essence Pendant had changed color. Yu Fei took the opportunity to ask about the origin of this jade pendant.
"This jade pendant is actually not handed down by our ancestors of the Yu family, but was found by your grandfather in a cave in his hometown." Father thought about it and told the truth.
"Is it Blackwater Rock?" In Yu Fei's mind, that mysterious place immediately appeared.
"That's right there, you actually remember this place!" His father was quite surprised, because Yu Fei was born in the county seat, rarely returned to the countryside, and never went to Heishuitan, and only heard about it himself.
"Because you once told me a legend about the Black Water Pool Dragon, and I always remember it."
"That's not a legend, but a real thing, now the third child of the Wang family is still alive, almost eighty years old. That black water rock, is a very magical place, your grandfather actually went there too, it was very big, he almost lost his way, but he accidentally saw a very large house, there are all kinds of dragon sculptures, he saw a box in that house, and when he opened it, he found this jade pendant that you are wearing now. The cave was so dangerous that he thought he was going to die in it, but then he walked up an underground river and miraculously returned to the Black Water Pool, so he always thought that this jade pendant blessed him. ”
His father's words made Yu Fei fall into deep thought: "Red Flame Divine Beast, Dragon, Black Water Rock, what is the connection between this." Why would someone put the Red Flame Ice Essence in the Black Water Rock? What kind of place is that? ”
The next day was the sixtieth birthday of Luo Zi's father, and Yu Fei took Tang Yan, and called the beasts and monkeys to congratulate him.
At the banquet, Luo Zi's third uncle from the countryside said a strange thing that happened in their village recently:
"A few days ago, there was a villager who went to the mountain to graze cattle, when he walked to a pond in the back mountain, he tied two cows to a tree on the side of the pond, and then dragged his clothes into the water to swim, but when he finished swimming ashore, he was surprised to find that the two cows were gone, and the rope of the cow was torn off by something, he looked around the pond, but did not find it, and then the people in the village led a few hunting dogs to help find it, who knew that as soon as the hunting dogs arrived at the edge of the pond, they all lay on the ground, They were still trembling, refusing to take any more steps, as if something was terrifying them, and instinctively. ”
"What could it be that makes the hounds instinctively fearful?" Tang Yan asked curiously. Since Tang Yan's mother was a zoologist, Tang Yan has had a strong interest in wild animals since she was a child.
The third uncle took a sip of wine and replied, "Tiger, or leopard!" The smell of urine left behind by these beasts will make the hounds feel scared. ”
"Ahh Do you still have these beasts here? As soon as the beast heard that there was a beast, he became excited.
"Of course, our village is at the foot of Shunhuang Mountain, most of the Shunhuang Mountains are still primeval forests, there are tigers, leopards, and bears in the deep mountains, but now hunting is not allowed, and the shotguns have been confiscated, so few people go into the mountains, no one has seen tigers for many years, and some people have seen leopards two years ago, and they have dragged away the pigs fed by a family in the village. It's just that what disappeared this time were two adult buffaloes weighing hundreds of pounds, which were not something that a leopard could drag away. ”
"So, the tiger must have done it! South China tigers in the wild? That's big news! The third uncle's words made the beast even more excited, since it is not a leopard, it is not clear that it is a tiger.
"Hehe, many people in the village also think the same, so now everyone doesn't dare to go up the mountain alone to herd cattle, and every time the cattle are herded, a few people make an appointment to go together. There are also a few young people in the village, I don't know where to get a camera, and they go up the mountain every day, saying that they want to take pictures of tigers, and that they can make a fortune if they take this picture. "The third uncle obviously hasn't heard of the 'Zhenglong Shooting Tiger' incident.
At this time, the beast also took out the SLR camera and said to the monkey, "Didn't you say that you want to find something exciting to do?" It's exciting enough to take pictures of tigers, and it's meaningful. Why don't we go to the mountains and look for the tiger and take a close-up of it. ”
The monkey said, "What are you excited about, what tigers, now that the wild South China tigers are extinct, maybe this cow has been stolen." ”
Yu Fei also smiled on the side: "That's it!" Besides, even if there is a tiger, it may not be possible for you to run into it. However, anyway, if you are idle, the scenery of this Shunhuang Mountain is still quite good, or Luozi will take these two city babies to 'shoot tigers' tomorrow. ”
Luo Zi was stuffing a chicken leg in his mouth, he nodded his head and said vaguely: "No problem!" ”
The third uncle was a little stunned when he heard it, what is wrong with the young people now, why do they all want to take pictures of this tiger, and they all regard this fierce tiger as a sick cat.
