Chapter 33: The First Journey into the Jungle
Under the temptation of the corpse of the black pine forest rat, the giant centipedes chasing after him gathered more and more.
Xun Lingzi was not as anxious as Shicai, he smiled awe-inspiringly, and suddenly pulled the rope in his hand hard, and actually hung the body of the black pine forest mouse on a tree branch, which was more than a foot high from the ground, swaying back and forth at the lower end of the thin line, only to attract more and more giant centipedes below.
Xun Lingzi simply tied the other end of the rope to the tree and quietly bypassed the giant centipede array, and at this time, Nangong Xun and Feng'er had come down from the big tree.
Feng'er was still frightened when she walked before the ghost gate, and when she saw her father, she couldn't say a word, so she just threw herself into his arms and cried.
Nangong Xun also had palpitations, and then realized that the pillar of incense that the master had given him before didn't know where to throw it in a hurry, and said ashamedly: "It's all incompetent, and I missed the master's great opportunity!"
Xun Lingzi patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "The old man really underestimated the danger and weirdness of this free crossing, since it comes, it is safe, since this is the case, you can only take one step at a time, fortunately, it is fortunate that the two of you are safe and sound!"
Feng'er had a hunch that this might just be the beginning of the thrill, and she didn't know how many unknown horror things were waiting for them on the road ahead, so she couldn't help but feel a little timid and retreat at the moment.
But how can you talk about it now?
In fact, they've been planning for this for months, and now that they're here, how can they quit so easily?
Feng'er felt annoyed and had nowhere to vent her annoyance, she just wanted to vent her resentment, and looked at the centipede array that was rolling and wriggling in the distance and said fiercely: "These harmful things are too scary, keeping them will only harm people!"
Xun Lingzi nodded and said: "That's right, I really don't know how many people have died in their mouths like this, and those who don't know really think that they have fallen under the death curse of the devil!"
Xun Lingzi said as he took out two black balls from his arms, one in each hand, and his body turned sharply and ran in the direction of the giant centipede array.
But seeing him raise his hands, he only heard two loud "booms", and a stream of black and yellow smoke came out with firelight!
The giant centipede burst into bloom, and the air was filled with the pungent smell of gunpowder and the stench of burnt animals.
Feng'er clapped her hands and said, "Okay, okay, let these harmful things also taste the taste of 'thunder'!"
Although the giant centipede array suffered major injuries and countless casualties, there were too many of them after all, as if they had lost their backbone all of a sudden, and the queue of the remaining surviving centipedes was out of order and began to run around without a head or a brain.
Nangong Xun frowned slightly and said, "You can't stay here for a long time, you should leave here as soon as possible!"
Xun Lingzi looked around, he couldn't find the way he came, and there was a layer of mist in the mountains and forests, and there was a white expanse in the distance.
He looked up at the top of his head again, but when he saw the towering trees covering the sky with their teeth and claws, he couldn't distinguish the direction at all, and the technique of feng shui and acupoint fixing was completely useless at this time, so he had to say: "The next one through the black pine forest is the green mudflat, as long as you look in one direction, you will not be wrong to see the swamp when you get out of this forest!"
The three of them could only decide to do so for now, and found a seemingly downhill path to walk cautiously, paying more attention to the giant centipedes that would crawl out of the fallen leaves at any time along the way, but strangely these terrible things disappeared all at once, and never touched one again.
I don't know how long I walked, but the strange thing is that I never got out of this black pine forest.
The three of them were tired, Feng'er looked a little irritable, and Xun Lingzi also secretly felt strange, so the three of them had to rest in place at the moment.
Xun Lingzi took out dry food and water for the two, and inadvertently Nangong Xun saw a few white bones scattered among the fallen leaves not far away, and felt very familiar, and when he saw it, it turned out to be the bones of the big forest rat that was cut off by his own sword!
The marks of the sword blade on the top were neat, and there was still a little blood oozing from the bone marrow.
Nangong Xun couldn't help but be shocked, and was stunned for a while, Feng'er also came over to see that her face had changed, and she said in a trembling voice: "This... How is that possible? What a hell!"
Nangong Xun was silent, he didn't understand that the three of them had been walking in the direction of the giant centipede formation on their backs, how could they go around and around for so long and return to the same place?
He secretly said in his heart: "It's really evil, could it be that you have encountered a ghost wall?"
Xun Lingzi saw that the faces of the two were different, and when he came to see it, he was also stunned, even if he was a clever feng shui master, if he didn't have the help of feng shui and acupoints, he would be almost like a blind man.
Nangong Xun suddenly asked, "Master, where did you say that this 'open door' would be? Could it be that we are in the wrong place?
Xun Lingzi pondered: "According to the old man's observation, the layout of the five elements of this Xiaoyaodu is no different from the ordinary gossip direction, but the strange thing is that the secret of its 'opening the door' is not fixed, it will change with the time of the season, the timing of the five positive overlapping three yangs, at that time the yang energy in the valley is the most prosperous and the haze dissipates, in a stick of incense, it is the best time to cross..."
Feng Er Qi said: "What if you miss this best opportunity?"
Xun Lingzi sighed, his face sank like water, and he didn't say a word.
Nangong Xun said: "Feng'er, do you remember that the master once said that in addition to the 'technique' that the world's feng shui acupoint technique pays attention to in addition to the 'technique' is the 'time', and if you do it in time, you can get twice the result with half the effort, if you miss it, you would rather stop doing it than do it reluctantly, this is called An Tian's destiny should be in the sky, not to fight with the sky!"
Xun Lingzi twisted his beard lightly, his eyes were very gratifying, three years have turned this fledgling young man from a layman to a feng shui expert.
Feng'er thought a little and said: "Brother Xun, when you say this, I really remember hearing my father say that the most stupid thing in our line of work is to kill yourself without knowing the height of the sky and fighting with the sky." But now that the opportunity has been missed, I really can't ride the tiger and get down, and I can't get out and go back and forth, what can I do?"
Feng'er picked up a branch on the ground and patted the dry pine needles on the ground boringly, the pine needles rose, and a big black hole was revealed in the ground.
couldn't help but be curious, and before he could call Nangong Xun, he poked the branch into the hole.
It was too late to say it quickly, and suddenly a round thing came out of the hole with a "whoosh", and it turned out to be a black pine forest rat that ran away with a "snort", and it was also frightened on the spot, so that Feng'er "Mom" screamed and sat on the ground.
Nangong Xun hurriedly came over when he heard the strangeness, and when he saw this, he couldn't help but smile dumbly, and said with a smile: "This is a forest rat's nest, don't you think there are gold and silver treasures hidden in it?"
Feng'er was shocked and angry, her face turned pale, and she picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at him.
Nangong Xun dodged his body, but his face was filled with an irrepressible smile.
Feng Er stomped his feet angrily and couldn't help it, so he couldn't help but glance at him and said angrily, "What are you laughing at! If there is really any gold and silver treasure, I also want you to dig it out for me!"
Nangong Xunqiang couldn't help but laugh and just shook his head, he noticed that the forest rat that had just burst out of the cave plunged into the pile of fallen leaves and disappeared immediately, and then he opened the fallen leaf needle and saw another swarthy hole, it turned out that under this layer of fallen leaves, there were many rat holes that could not be seen in all directions!
Suddenly, Xun Lingzi smiled and said, "That's right, I see!"
As soon as Nangong Xun Feng'er heard him, she stopped playing and ran over, Feng'er asked, "What did Daddy find?"
Xun Lingzi said with a smile: "I thought that these black pine forests were born along the slopes of the mountains, but they turned out to be towards the Xuantian Gate in the center!"
Nangong Xun raised the "polar eyepiece" and looked up, but saw that the black pine forest that could be seen in the field of vision actually brushed and pointed to the center of the "pelvic floor" in the distance, like a worshipper half-arched and hanging down his pious head, and even the black pine on the flat ground was slightly tilted, so the three of them created the illusion that it was still a gentle slope, but they were actually going around in circles.
Now that you have re-identified the direction, you just have to point in the direction of the black pine treetops!
Xun Lingzi sighed: "It seems that there is no way to go, but there is a road everywhere, and it seems that there is a road everywhere but there is no way to go..."
Feng'er couldn't understand him babbling alone, Nangong Xunzi understood the meaning of the master's words, and smiled at her: "You just have to follow along, you can't be wrong!"
