There are many places in the valley where the stone walls are tilted inward and hollowed out by the old owner, and we only need to erect a few wooden stakes and fence around to live in people. Build the stove, set up the bed, and take out the things we brought, and it's like a new home.

Lin Mei was the happiest, she never thought that she could return to her hometown to live, and it was a snake intestine valley without mist, and there were three people and a demon to accompany her. Ouyang Zhenfei was also very excited, she had never been into the mountains before, and she felt that everything was very novel, so she followed Lin Mei and chattered non-stop.

In order to increase the sense of crisis of the two little ones and train their ability to bear hardships and stand hard work, I deliberately gave a somewhat unkind order: during the day, you can only make a fire to cook when it is foggy, and you are not allowed to light a fire when it is not foggy. There is also a reason for this, the smoke will be seen by people from afar, and the news of the people here will eventually attract the enemy.

I didn't immediately accept Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei as junior brothers and sisters, but gave them a one-month assessment period, if I passed the basic skills I taught them within a month, I would officially accept them, if they didn't qualify, don't blame me for driving people out...... I'm not really going to fail them, just give them a little pressure and motivation, who told me to be a teacher!

For the next few days, these two little guys gave me quite a headache and asked Weishenme endlessly. I think when the master taught me, the master said that I would memorize whichever I wanted, and the master said that it would be as it was, only jishu discussion, no questioning in principle, where is there so much weishenme? Just teaching them the basics of divination made me sweat profusely.

Ouyang Zhenfei asked: "Senior brother, weishenme needs to use copper coins for hexagrams, can I use coins?" It's all money anyway. ”

"Because the copper coin is round on the outside and square on the inside, it symbolizes the ...... of the round sky and the earth."

Ouyang Zhenfei looked puzzled: "But the earth is obviously round, not square?" ”

For generations, it has been said that the sky is round and the earth is round, so how can I explain it? I had a black line and racked my brains to quibble: "Well, well, the round sky is a relationship between time and space, one day, two days, three hundred and sixty-five days all refer to time, it can be seen that the sky refers to time, time is round, the cycle repeats, I don't believe it look at the watch!" Place refers to space and dimension, and refers to all directions...... In short, we must use time and space to predict the future. ”

Ouyang Zhenfei didn't react for a while, and Ling Fengpiao asked again: "Senior brother, then through this round place, can you travel to ancient times or the future?" ”

I was furious: "If you can drill your head into the hole of the copper coin, you can travel back to the Cretaceous!" ”

Ouyang Zhenfei snickered and asked again: "But what can weishenme calculate the future?" This is not scientific! ”

"Well, I'll tell you about science! The human brain is an all-purpose machine, but there are many functions that have not been exerted, for example, some people's brains will have abnormal abilities when stimulated, which means that certain areas and functions are activated; Many functions of the brain are degraded because they are not used, such as the fact that primitive people can sense the proximity of danger while most modern people cannot. When we are highly concentrated, the brain waves will be emitted to the future, know a piece of information code in the future, and then form the six trigrams of the eight trigrams through the magnetic field of the copper coin, and then according to the relevant formulas and formulas, as well as a little subtle telepathy between the fortune teller and the seeker, we can calculate the future. ”

Ling Fengpiao interjected again: "Senior brother, but the ancients didn't know that there were brain waves, how could they create a method of divination?" ”

"This ......"

Ouyang Zhenfei: "Senior brother, isn't it faster to directly stimulate the brain than to learn to tell hexagrams?" Like letting lightning strike? ”

I'm ......

After ten days of calm in the Snake Intestine Valley, my physical strength and spirit had fully recovered, and the wound on my back had basically healed and did not affect my movements, I began to lose my breath, so I began to gather my things and prepare to go into the cave to explore.

Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei wanted to follow, and I took out the majesty of the senior brother before giving up, in order to prevent the enemy from attacking when Lin Mei and I were away, Lin Mei climbed the stone wall and made a simple place to live above the cliff. In case an enemy touches the alarm at the entrance, Ling Fengpiao and Ouyang Zhenfei can climb the soft ladder and hide on the top of the cliff, and the enemy will think that we have left when they see that the place where they live is empty.

Although I am still a little worried, this is also an opportunity to train them, born in sorrow and die in peace, and must train their ability to survive.

On the twelfth morning of the mountain, Lin Mei and I set off, and the cold cave was blocked by a big white snake, and we might not be able to pass through; The well has already been explored, and there is no need to explore it again; The bat cave stinks badly, and it is the least likely that the great-master ancestor is inside, so this time we chose the hot cave.

The hot cave is on the southwest side of the main peak, and the entrance is actually a long gap between two huge rocks, and the place where you can enter is at the higher part of the crack. I was a little surprised when I arrived, because I didn't feel the heat near the entrance of the cave. But soon I knew the reason, generally deep caves, this kind of weather will feel cold when standing at the entrance of the cave, now I don't feel the cold at all, but a slight feeling of stuffiness, which proves that this cave is hot.

Strictly speaking, the hot cave is a constant temperature cave, about 30 degrees near the entrance of the cave, and it does not feel hot in summer, but it is steaming if it is winter. Climb to the mouth of the cave and you can smell a very faint smell of sulfur, according to my speculation, the cave is not too deep, and there is a hot spring in it, so there is a smell of heat and sulfur.

The master of the Yin-Yang family is actually the earliest geographer who is proficient in geography. Modern more experienced feng shui masters can also judge how many layers of sand and soil there are in the knots according to the direction of the mountains, the surface structure, the composition of soil and stones, etc., what color each layer is, and how deep it is. Outsiders don't know, thinking that they have the eyes of heaven, the eyes of the earth, the eyes of yin and yang, the eyes of God, and the like, but in fact, this is a superb knowledge of geography, judged according to the experience taught by the ancients. Although I didn't specialize in Feng Shui, I knew a little bit about it, so it was not surprising that I knew that there were hot springs in caves.

After a few steps into the cave, Xiaoxue spoke: "Childe, I have a feeling of unhappiness, as if someone is secretly spying on us. ”

I immediately raised my vigilance: "Where, inside the cave or outside?" ”

Xiaoxue was a little hesitant and confused: "I don't know, this is a very strange feeling, there may be someone staring at us, or someone may be thinking about us or trying to calculate us, I have a sense of danger." ”

Although I don't have that sensitive sense, I can understand the feeling, I have a big head, is the danger coming from inside the cave or outside the cave? What kind of monster is eyeing us? Last time in the well cave, Xiaoxue also felt something wrong in advance, but I didn't pay enough attention to it, and I almost gave away my life, is there anything more terrible than a dragon in the hot cave?

I couldn't just give up exploring the hot cave, so I asked Xiaoxue to give me the katana, and Lin Mei and I both wore helmet-type miner's lamps on our heads, but only I turned on the lights, so as to save electricity, because there was no place to charge them in the mountains, and the power of the two batteries was not full.

The inside of the hot cave is very steep and irregular, strictly speaking, this section cannot be regarded as a hole, but a gap between the mountain boulders, the mountains are rugged, the terrain is complex, and some places are even upside down, it is difficult to climb, and I and Lin Mei are also very slow to advance. At first, I thought that the cave was not deep and extended downward, but after advancing nearly 100 meters, I changed my opinion, because it was very dry inside, not like there was a hot spring, and the cave was extended diagonally deep into the belly of the mountain, which could be very deep.

This is not an area of volcanic activity, and if there are no hot springs below, the weishenme will be hot and smell of sulfur? I actually thought of the fire dragon in the Western fantasy novel, it is said that the fire dragon has a fiery red body, can breathe fire, likes to eat sulfur saltpeter and the like, and the place where they appear is always very hot and has a strong sulfur smell......

"Big brother, have you seen a spider?" Lin Mei suddenly asked in a low voice.

"Yes." I stopped, I have seen small spiders at least five times since I entered the cave, and I have seen some other insects, and it is normal for some insects and snakes to be in such a warm cave, and it is not normal to not see small insects like cold holes and well holes.

"I saw a lot of spiders, but I didn't see cobwebs, and it smelled fishy, probably a lot of poisonous insects in it."

I can't smell the fishy smell that Lin Mei said, but I believe that her judgment was correct, because she has lived in the snake intestine valley for a long time and is most familiar with the smell of poisonous insects. As for the lack of cobwebs, it is not surprising that there are no spider webs, because it is dark, there are no flying insects, and the spiders that live in them have evolved to prey directly and do not form webs.

I was a little hesitant, it would be annoying and scary to have a large number of spiders in the depths of the cave, but what cave was not dangerous? Some small spiders are nothing compared to the giant serpent in the cold cave and the ghost snake in the well cave, and I have to find my great-master, so I can only move forward.

The space in front of me was much wider, and I finally stepped on the flat ground after climbing down an extremely steep mountain rock...... There were three footprints in the damp dirt on the ground!

Three footprints were clearly stepped on by an adult's bare feet, two were a little blurry, and one was complete and clear, about the same size, all facing forward.

Lin Mei also found the footprints and asked in surprise: "How can there be people's footprints here, could it be that they were left by the great master?" ”

I was a little puzzled: "It looks clear, if it was left decades ago, it shouldn't be so clear, and there are three footprints in the same direction, all three of which were left when he jumped from above, which proves that he went in and out three times......"

Xiaoxue suddenly exclaimed: "It's not good, there are a large number of spiders in front, retreat!" ”

Lin Mei and I were both taken aback, and hurriedly turned around and wanted to go back the same way, but the place where we came down was a relatively smooth stone wall with an inclination of more than 70 degrees, and a section of Zuihou was a little backward, with a height of about three meters, and it was impossible to jump directly on it. There is no place to grasp after jumping, and if you stand unsteadily, you will still fall, just now we have made sure that there is no danger below before jumping down, and now there is suddenly danger, and it is difficult to turn back.

I tried twice and couldn't jump up, Lin Mei tried a few times and also slid down, a large number of small spiders behind me have been surging like a tide, I hurriedly hugged Lin Mei and lifted it up, zuihou held her feet with both hands and struggled to throw it up.

Lin Mei finally landed on a small protruding rock and stabilized herself, but she couldn't pull directly to me with her body, and before she could find a place to fix the rope, a large number of spiders had already surged to my feet.
