Chapter 119: Smelling the Marten
From the day Zhao Lin got the Spirit Beast Diagram, he had considered the ability of smell more than once.
In the beginning, survival was difficult, and the sense of smell did not help much to improve the situation at home. It was a harsh winter, and the plants were withering, so it was impossible to find herbs with your sense of smell.
After absorbing the spirits of the old scalper and Xiong Zhen, the conditions slowly improved, and the sense of smell became more insignificant in his heart, so he slowly didn't think about it anymore.
But now his mind has changed.
The sense of smell is the best tracking ability.
A trained police dog in a previous life can smell the scent left by the suspect a few hours ago, while the smell leopard has a sharper sense of smell!
After absorbing its spirit by himself, it is not difficult to catch the Diamond Mountain Leopard.
Zhao Lin thought that it was worth it, even if it was a grid of the spirit beast diagram, he would not hesitate to waste it.
In the mink house next to the racecourse, an old man with a thin body and a dark face, who looked like a farmer, mixed wild vegetables and rice bran with a pile of fish and shrimp, poured them into a large wooden barrel, and stirred them vigorously with a stick.
There were several iron cages on the ground beside the old man, and in the cages were more than a dozen slender minks with silver gray bodies.
These minks are very active and hop around in their cages.
"They're all scented mink, right?"
Zhao Lin looked at the mink who was jumping around in the cage and was anxious to ask for food.
Suddenly there was another person in the room, the old man was startled, looked up and saw that the person who came was a young man, he just breathed a sigh of relief, but found that Zhao Lin was covered in blood, and his heart was lifted again.
"Don't panic, old man, all this blood is bearded."
Zhao Lin was trembling when he saw the old man, and explained with a smile, "Let me ask you if you are holding a smelling mink in the cage?" ”
"Back to my lord, it's a smelling mink." The old man replied respectfully.
"Pick one for me." Zhao Lin squatted down by the cage.
"I wonder what adults want?" The old man asked.
"The nose is good, preferably male." Zhao Lin thought for a while.
The old man did not dare to disobey, opened the cage, and took out a shiny and fat mink from it.
Zhao Lin glanced at it and asked, "This one is the best?" ”
The old man replied: "The old man is with these minks every day, and he knows it in his heart. ”
"Well, let's kill it."
Listening to Zhao Lin's words, the old man's hand shook and he almost didn't throw the mink away.
Zhao Lin knew that the old man thought he was a pervert, so he explained: "You don't think much, I want this mink fur." ”
The old man swallowed his saliva, obviously not believing Zhao Lin's words, but he was used to being bullied by bandits in the cottage, so he didn't dare to refuse, and tearfully knocked the mink to death with a wooden stick.
"Thank you, please wait outside, I'll tell you to come in again."
Zhao Lin didn't want someone to be by his side when he absorbed the spirit by himself, and instructed the old man out.
After the old man left, the spirit of the smelling marten had already gathered and formed in the air.
"I don't know what the experience will be like this time."
Zhao Lin's nose trembled, and he inhaled the silver light.
As he expected, the silver light entered his body and immediately gathered at his mouth and nose, and began a drastic transformation, or evolution.
A spicy breath rushed from the nasal cavity to the Tianling Gai.
"That's a lot of energy!"
Zhao Lin felt like he had eaten a big mouthful of mustard, choking his nose burning, tears poured out instantly, and his soul almost wanted to fly out of his body.
Immediately after, all kinds of smells, smells, and even thoughts exploded in the nose.
Fruity, creamy, meaty, incense, sour, burnt, rancid, spicy, urine, acetic acid, fruit acid...... Each flavor is divided into dozens or hundreds, and it is extremely rich.
The smell that used to be similar or even identical feels very different now.
This time the absorption of the spirit lasted not long, only half a moment later, the spirit beast picture flashed, and the appearance of a smelling sable appeared in the fifth grid.
Zhao Lin took a deep breath......
Then I almost threw up.
The mink house is filled with the smell of food, urine and feces.
Zhao Lin's nose was not good before, but he just felt a little unpleasant, but now that he has a sensitive sense of smell, these smells are immediately magnified ten times and a hundred times, and he suddenly feels that his stomach is turning upside down, and he almost wants to be nauseated.
Holding back his nausea, he covered his mouth and nose, and suddenly caught a glimpse of two wooden barrels feeding the mink containing different colors of food, one was pale red and the other was light gray.
couldn't help but be suspicious, and called the old man in for questioning.
"How can there be two colors of food? Is it because the mink breed is different, or is it something else? ”
"Back to my lord, the color of the food is different because of the different spices."
The old man took out two paper packets from his arms, opened them and showed them to Zhao Lin, and sure enough, one was red and the other was black.
"What's the difference?"
Zhao Lin intuitively felt that things were not simple, so he leaned over and slapped his nose twice with his hand, and immediately recognized the difference in the taste of the two medicinal powders.
Although they all have a musky scent, the red powder has a hint of oil pine, and the black powder is slightly sweet.
The old man looked at Zhao Lin's actions curiously, listened to his question, and was stunned for a moment before saying: "The leaders take red pills regularly, and if they are too far away from each other, and they want to contact each other, they will use the smelling marten that grew up eating red food to find them." ”
"These minks are smart, but they can't speak, and this is the fastest way to use them."
"It turned out to be used by bandits internally."
Zhao Lin raised his eyebrows, and wondered: "I don't know if the Diamond Mountain Leopard has ever taken the red pill?" ”
I only heard the old man continue: "The black medicinal powder is for outsiders, as long as it is stained with even a little, the smelling marten that grew up eating black food can come in handy." ”
After a pause, he said: "Originally, Xiao Lao'er was not qualified to know this, but last year, Lord Ma Hao inadvertently told someone about it, and I only knew it when I heard two sentences." ”
Zhao Lin suddenly realized in his heart that the black powder that the Diamond Mountain Leopard had sent someone to sprinkle on his body should be like this.
"Thank you, sir."
Zhao Lin politely thanked him, and was about to leave, when he suddenly remembered something.
This old man has been helping bandits raise scented mink all year round, which has indirectly victimized many people, and even he is one of them.
Thinking of this, he turned to look at the old man, put his hand on the iron ruler on his waist, and smiled, "Old man, what did you do before?" How long have you been in the mountains? ”
Somehow, an inexplicable panic suddenly rose in the old man's heart, the hairs on his body stood up, and he knelt on the ground with a plop.
"My lord, Xiao Lao'er used to farm in Baitou Mountain, knew some herbs, and helped the livestock of the neighbors to see a doctor on weekdays, which is somewhat famous."
"Ten years ago, Xu Er's family arrested me up the mountain and forced me to help them raise smelling martens, and this stay is ten years. Poor my mother is nearly eighty years old, and I don't know if she is still alive in the world. ”
Zhao Lin sighed silently, slowly let go of the hand holding the iron ruler, and said softly: "There will be something big in the cottage in the past two days, you had better find a place to hide, spend these two days, and you will be able to go home." ”
After saying that, he strode out of the cabin.
The first plot is coming to an end.,One update today and tomorrow.,Organize the follow-up plot.,Please forgive me.。
