Chapter 184. A first glimpse into the jungle

Daiyun Mountain belongs to the highest peak of the East China Sea, about four or five hundred miles away from Yecheng, there are rugged mountain roads along the way, so Zhang Jiayang is cautious to move forward, encounter a wider road, ride a horse to speed up, encounter a rugged path, get off the horse and lead the way, when it gets dark, find farmers along the way to rest, not to mention, the mountain people along the way are very enthusiastic, always take out the best food at home to Zhang Jiayang to eat, after such a toss for half a month, in front of the mountain road to see a highest peak, Zhang Jiayang is very excited, at the end of the rugged path appeared a few farmers, so lead the horse to gallop forwardAn old man came out of a farmer's household, and the old man looked about seventy years old, so Zhang Jiayang stepped forward and asked for directions: "Hello, uncle."

The old man replied with a mutter, Jia Yang didn't understand anything, his face was confused, and then he didn't look like Alzheimer's, and at this moment, a middle-aged man in the courtyard saw Jia Yang and came over to greet him: "Presumably you are a guest from the north, hello." ”

At this time, Jia Yang understood, so he smiled awkwardly and said, "I'm sorry, this big brother, I didn't understand what the uncle said just now." ”

"Hehehe, I know at a glance that you are from the north, this is my grandfather, more than ninety years old, speaking in the mountains, you must not understand from the north, he is saying hello to you." ”

"Oh, hello grandpa, Jiayang is polite here, seeing that the old man is only in his sixties. ”

"Hahaha, grandpa can't understand what you say, but he can see from your expression that you are kind, ask me any questions. The middle-aged man said.

"Oh, big brother, how can you speak northern dialect, it's rare to be able to speak as fluently as you here. ”

"Little brother, you are right, I learned these words from Dai Xianren. ”

"Dai Xianren?" Zhang Jiayang wondered.

"Oh, the little brother has just arrived, and he may not know that we are a famous immortal in Daiyun Mountain, this person is proficient in medical skills, knows some martial arts, and is also kind and charitable, but no one knows who his surname is, because he often cultivates in the depths of the dense forest of Daiyun Mountain, we all call him Dai Xianren. The middle-aged man smiled after speaking.

Jia Yang immediately connected this Dai Immortal with the worldly master of the Yecheng Inn shopkeeper, in fact, Jia Yang was right, this Dai Xianren is the worldly master who appeared in Yecheng, and the general worldly master will not casually reveal his secular name, that is, by virtue of what he has done in the rivers and lakes, the people have a rod and scale in their hearts, and naturally there will be a name handed down.

Jia Yang immediately asked, "Big brother, the mountain peak you saw earlier is Daiyun Mountain." ”

"By the way, the highest one is Dai Yunfeng. ”

"You should be able to find Dai Immortal in this mountain, right?"

"Oh, it turns out that you are also looking for Dai Immortals. ”

"What, big brother, has anyone looked for Dai Xianren?"

"Yes, I remember that Dai Xianren brought a dementia patient half a year ago, saying that he wanted to go to the mountain medicine for treatment, after about two months, there was a beautiful woman who said that she wanted to find Dai Xianren, I also said that there are many fierce beasts in the mountains, a little woman is in danger of going up the mountain alone, it is better to wait for Dai Xianren to pass by in this village, who knows whether she is alive or dead, and she went up, this is not more than half a year, I have not seen Dai Xianren again, nor have I seen the woman again, if the brother can go up the mountain to find Dai Xianren to see the situation is better, but maybe I am too worried, because the road out of the mountain is not only our village, other villages can also go out of the mountain, it's not sure if they're still on the mountain. ”

"Oh, I see, thank you big brother, then I'll go into the mountain and take a look. ”

The middle-aged man glanced at Zhang Jiayang's outfit and horses and said with a smile: "Little brother has not been up the mountain, you are dressed like this, how can you lead the horse to this Daiyun Mountain, there is no road on the mountain, it is all dense forest vegetation, only along the stream, you have to use flying claws to cross the cliff, but you can also deal with ordinary beasts with weapons, if you encounter a fierce beast, you must know the art of escape." ”

"Ah, in this way, it's not so difficult for me to come from Yecheng. ”

"Hehe, brother, I'm not lying to you, Yecheng is the official mountain road that everyone walks here, and it is relatively safe, but the road to Daiyun Mountain is a dense forest, inaccessible, and there is no road," the middle-aged man looked up at the sky and continued, "Seeing that it is getting late, you should rest at my house for one night, by the way, listen to me and tell you about the self-defense skills in this wild mountain, and if you can trust me, I will leave the horses in my small courtyard, and I will watch it for you for the time being, and you can enter the mountain early tomorrow morning to find Dai Xianren." ”

As soon as Jiayang heard that what this person said was reasonable, he gave a deep salute and said: "This relationship is very good, Zhang Jiayang is here to thank the eldest brother." ”

The old man at the door also opened his mouth and muttered to the middle-aged man for a while.

The middle-aged man translated and said to Zhang Jiayang: "My grandfather said that you must arrange for you to live at home, and don't let the guests who come from afar go up the mountain at night, otherwise there will be danger." ”

Jia Yang also gave a deep bow to the old man to express his gratitude.

Walking into this house, the wall in front of the house is full of dried prey, at first glance is a hunter, living by hunting, sitting in the living room of the thatched house, the hostess stewed the best mountain flavor to entertain Zhang Jiayang, stewed pheasant, rabbit meat, etc., and also poured the rice wine brewed at home.

Jia Yang said gratefully: "Thank you for the warm hospitality of the eldest brother and sister-in-law, and you haven't asked the eldest brother what your name is?"

The middle-aged man smiled and said: "Brother is polite, my surname is the third in the Chen family, the village calls me Chen San, we mountain people have nothing to eat, it is these wild meat in the mountains that have fed us for generations, our ancestors have taught us to treat every passing guest warmly, so that when we go to other places, we will be treated the same." ”

"What the eldest brother said makes sense, and the younger brother Zhang Jiayang respects Brother Chen. Saying that, Zhang Jiayang picked up the wine scoop on a few cases and took a sip.

Chen San also replied, after getting acquainted, Chen San explained to Zhang Jiayang how to avoid the attack of fierce beasts in this Daiyun Mountain, where to go to tighten the trouser leg clothes to prevent leeches from entering the flesh and sucking blood, what routes can be walked in this mountain, how to find mountain fruits and prey to fill the stomach, said clearly, and finally said: " Brother Zhang, because Dai Xianren's whereabouts are uncertain, and he has no fixed place in the mountains, so most of his range of activities is a place with beautiful mountains and rivers, you can go around to check it out after you enter the mountain, if you should be able to meet it in the mountain, I wish you good luck. ”

As soon as the sky was bright, Zhang Jiayang set off with his bags on his back, Chen San personally sent Zhang Jiayang into the mountains for a long time, and when he reached a fork in the mountain road, Chen San said: "Brother Zhang, you can go up this small stream, you can go to Daiyun Peak after passing by three peaks, first go to the highest place to see, as far as I know, the highest place Dai Xianren will also go to where from time to time." ”

"Thank you, Brother Chen. ”

"Take care, brother. After speaking, Chen San went down the mountain.

Zhang Jiayang looked at the dense forest in front of him, took a deep breath of fresh air, suddenly felt relaxed and happy, felt full of strength, and quickly moved forward along the stream.

All kinds of birds chirped non-stop along the way, the clear stream flowed slowly in the mountain stream, it was originally the winter in the north, but here it seems to be spring and autumn, the climate is warm and suitable, the vegetation is still luxuriant, I don't know how far I walked forward, the steep hillside does not know how much I climbed, suddenly heard the sound of the rumbling in front of me, such as the dragon's roar, such as the leopard's roar, and immediately thought of Chen San's saying that there are tigers and leopards in this mountain, Jia Yang immediately became alert, pulled out the sword, pulled the vines, stepped on the slippery cliff, and slowly climbed up, and waited until he reached a high ground to watch in the direction from which the sound came, Jia Yang put his mind at easeIn front of you is a waterfall with a drop of 100 meters, the water flows down from above, the splash of water refracts the sunlight into a rainbow neon, under the rainbow is a crystal clear waterhole, the overflowing water of the waterhole slowly descends along the mountain stream, the sound of the dragon and the leopard roaring is from here, and the entire waterfall is hidden in the depths of the mountain by lush vegetation in the distance.

Jia Yang bypassed the waterfall and directly pulled the rattan to continue climbing, and suddenly saw a thick trunk of flowers between the trees in front of him squirming, Jia Yang thought that he was dazzled, and had an illusion, so he quickly rubbed his eyes and looked carefully, only to see that it was not a branch at all, but a python with a bowl mouth thick more than three meters long entangled between the trees and blocked the way, Zhang Jiayang was suddenly startled and drew his sword to prepare to fight, the sound of drawing the sword alarmed the python, the python raised his head as if he saw Jia Yang and spit out his long tongue and swayed around, at this time Jia Yang immediately calmed down, Chen San explained the first step yesterday not to disturb it to go around, if you can't get around, don't fight with it, Find a flat ground with a triangular head to lie down on your back, the python can't be wrapped and can't swallow from the head of the triangle after coming, only start to swallow yourself from the feet, wait to swallow to the thighs and quickly start to tear the side of the python with a knife or with your bare hands, the python is basically killed, and you can escape from death, but when Jia Yang met the real python, he couldn't help but be a little frightened in his heart, and retreated far away, the python seemed to see Zhang Jiayang's movement, and slowly chased down, Jia Yang thought, do you have to use the method taught by Chen San, just look around, the dense primeval forest has no flat land at all, so he is ready to fight with the python with a sword in hand, When the python was approaching Jia Yang in a straight line, Jia Yang flew over the dense branches with light skills, pointed his sword at the python and reprimanded loudly: "The beast is not quick to retreat, be careful that the master wants your life." ”

As if the python understood Jiayang's words, and as if he couldn't find Jiayang's location for a while, he stayed where he was and stuck out his tongue and shook his head, Jiayang saw that it was no longer close, so he slowly moved out from the branch, bypassed the python from the side, and quickly fled up the stream while observing the python, hoping to get out of the python's territory safely.
