056, Baishan (above)
The warriors were making a fire to eat, when suddenly a rabbit ran by the camp, and with a crank, he went after the rabbit. The tiger baby also shouted: "Pan Gu, don't run around!" and then got up to chase the dog, and the figure quickly disappeared into the jungle in the distance. At first, they didn't take it seriously, thinking that they would be back soon, but when the things were cooked, the children and dogs were gone, and they were not seen until dark.
Zhong Zhuang sent soldiers to search around, and searched all around, but found nothing. Originally, they took the tiger baby to the capital to see the world, but how could they lose the child as soon as they arrived in Ba Yuan! The team stayed in the same place for a whole day, but they still couldn't find the tiger baby and Pan Gu.
Everyone had the order of the mountain master to catch up with the team led by Xin Shu as quickly as possible, and join Xin Shu before he arrived at the national capital, and they couldn't delay any longer, so they had to continue on their way.
Zhong Zhuang led the warriors who were originally from the hunting team of Lu Village and Huahai Village, they knew the ability of the Dao Pan, this dog should not have any trouble, whether it was hunting or fighting, it was a good hand, and there were almost no fierce beasts in the mountains who could help it. As for the tiger baby, his flying stone stunt is also impressive, and it also has the protection of the pang, they can survive even in the wilderness, and even recover it themselves.
……
A few days after the tiger baby left Shanshui City, this wilderness became lively again. First of all, there was a visit from a national worker, this person named Gou Hao, from another city in the Xiangmuro country, Kuosonggang Castle, he was not only a national co-worker, but also a monk with superb cultivation. Gou Hao did not serve in the city, he only cultivated the secret method on weekdays, was good at traveling and making friends, and had met Xin Shu in the national capital and had a good conversation.
Gou Hao first heard about the monarch's feudal Shanshui City in Songgang City, and then heard about the conflict between Shanshui City and Gaocheng, he felt very curious and admired, and this time he came to visit the legendary Ruoshan City Lord.
When cultivation reaches a certain level and cultivation becomes the most important thing in daily life, the monks will also form their own worldly realm. It is a field that ordinary people cannot intervene in. They all possess supernatural powers, and often also have common pursuits, exchanging cultivation experiences together, talking about anecdotes, which are helpful to each other, and can also find a sense of "extraordinary".
This kind of interaction between monks is also a means of establishing personal relationships, and it is convenient to find someone to help if something happens in the future. Wakayama originally lived in the deep mountains, and did not intervene in the circle of monks in Ba Yuan, but in the case of Gou Hao, on the contrary, he traveled to almost all the castles of the Xiangmuro country, and had exchanges with the masters of various places.
Although Gou Hao's cultivation did not break through the Six Realms. At present, he is still in the Five Realms and Seven Turns, but in terms of the breadth of his knowledge of the cultivation of various sects and the breadth of his travels, he is probably one of the best in the Xiangmuro Country. Of course, Ruoshan warmly received Gou Hao, exchanged cultivation experiences with him, talked about wild anecdotes, and accompanied this Mr. Gou Hao to enjoy the scenery around.
Not only did Gou Hao come to visit, but then several monks came to visit, and according to them, this is called "worshipping the mountain", and this saying is very apt for Wakayama.
And that's not all. Several caravans came to Shanshui City, and while they were trading with the tribesmen at the bottom of the central valley, they were also very interested in this wilderness, and wanted to visit the various villages. Of course, the rustic mountain people were glad to welcome them.
A caravan came to Shanshui City, and after doing business, I felt very good, so I wanted to take a look at the village in the distance, not only to enjoy the scenery but also to see the different customs and customs here. By the way, there are other specialties. But this kind of thing happened occasionally in the past, but this time it was different, and people from almost every tribe visited the village.
Wakayama was secretly frightened. It was at this time that these people traveled to various villages in the wilderness, and it could not be a coincidence. It can't be said that all of them are related to the murderers who slaughtered the Qingshui clan, but there must be someone who secretly investigates the situation. Ruoshan pretended to be nothing according to the instructions of the mountain god, as if nothing had happened, and accompanied Gou Hao and the monks who came to worship the mountain to wander in the wilderness every day.
Of course, Ruoshan also responded to the request of these distinguished guests and brought them to the area of Lu Village and Huahai Village to enjoy. A few days later, someone politely said that it was embarrassing to be accompanied by the city lord every day, and they were sightseeing in the vicinity by themselves. These are all masters of cultivation, Ruoshan just told him a few words to be careful, and he went with them, and he just accompanied Mr. Gou Hao all the time.
Ruoshan has broken through to the cultivation of the Six Realms, but his aura has converged very well and naturally, and he has not announced this news for the time being, and is still in the process of consolidating and comprehending the realm. Monks in the world, no one will have the sign of how many realms and several transformations of cultivation are engraved on their heads, and if they don't say it or reveal their means, others will not be too clear.
But the subtlety of the induction of the mountain spirit is far better than before, and when he accompanies Gou Hao to travel in the mountains and rivers, he sometimes vaguely senses some abnormalities.
There seemed to be someone in the sky who was hiding and flying by, as if he was searching for something in the mountains, and he had also deliberately observed his and Gou Hao's movements. If you break through the cultivation of the Eight Realms, you will have the ability to fly to the sky, and those who have cultivated in the Six Realms, if you use the inheritance artifact that has the magic of flying to the sky, you can also fly to the sky. It seems that another master has also arrived here.
The one who silently followed all this but remained silent was Ruoshui, as far as Ruoshui knew, someone entered the back mountain of Lu Village and searched for a long time in the vast jungle. Ruoshui, of course, did not follow or stop them, and she also pretended to be indifferent, but secretly worried that these people would not find the ruins of Taihao.
But the situation is just as the mountain god said, if there is no exact clue, it is too difficult to find the remote Taihao ruins, if you just fly in the sky to search for a large area, it is impossible to find it, unless you search the mountain nearby. But on such a large scale, it is impossible for anyone to search every place carefully.
Someone did enter the back mountain of Lu Village, they searched for a long distance, until they reached the peak of the perennial snow, and even searched the caves on the nearby cliffs, but they did not cross the snow-capped mountain to continue to move forward, let alone reach the vicinity of the Taihao ruins.
Ruoshan, who knows it in his heart, hopes that the more people who come at this moment, the better, if the other party's attention is only focused on the area of Shanshui City, then the tiger baby who has left the wilderness can go calmly. Shanshui City is very lively for a while, the tribesmen in the village warmly welcome guests from all over the world, this is a rare thing on weekdays, it feels like a festival, everyone is very happy.
Of course, these visitors can't all be spies from Chiwangqiu. When they returned, they brought back all kinds of things they had seen here. Later, people often went to various villages to enjoy themselves, and Huahai Village was the place they went to the most. Occasionally, monks come here, all in the name of visiting the mountain.
After Gou Hao said goodbye and left, more than two months later, Lord Xin Shu led the tributary team back, bringing back the king's commendation and rich rewards, which was a more lively event in Shanshui City. The tribesmen felt that every day was happy during this time, and they did not know what kind of crisis the area was experiencing.
But Zhong Zhuang, who returned to Shanshui City with Xin Shu, seemed very depressed, and he pleaded guilty in front of the mountain master because he lost the tiger baby and Pan Gu on the way.
When the team returned, Lord Xin Shu heard about the incident, and also stayed in the place where the tiger baby disappeared for a day, not only sent everyone to look around, but he also personally searched the surrounding mountains and forests, and asked the nearby villages, whether anyone had seen a child and a dog, but there was still no news.
Zhong Zhuang hoped that Huwa and Pan Gu had returned to Shanshui City on their own, and came back with a fluke to ask, but the result was still disappointing. The mountain master asked about the situation and blamed Zhong Zhuang very much, but did not punish him. At that time, the situation was that Pan Gu went to chase the rabbit, and the tiger baby ran away with Pan Gao, and Zhong Zhuang and others had tried their best to search.
The absence of a child among the barbarian tribes is not a trivial matter, but it is not very uncommon. The villages are located in remote and deep mountains, and if children run around and adults don't pay attention, it is indeed easy to have accidents, and such accidents occur almost every year in every village. And in that era, the infant mortality rate of children is also very high, if it weren't for the fact that the tiger baby is more special, and is deeply loved by the mountain master and the water mother-in-law, it may not attract more attention.
No matter how sad and regretful, but things have happened, I just hope that the tiger baby is not in danger, and one day she can return to her hometown under the protection of Pan Gu.
……
The last time Li Qingshui ran the white jade altar in the Taihao ruins, he immediately alarmed Chiwang Hill. Xing Yao used the strength and influence of Chiwangqiu to openly and secretly organize a group of people to enter Shanshui City, go to various villages to investigate the abnormalities, and search for suspicious places in the wilderness, and he himself arrived in time.
But this time there was still nothing, Xingyao could only be sure that Li Qing Shui had contacted the outside world again, and had exerted some kind of mysterious magical powers, but he couldn't determine who the person who contacted Li Qing Shui was and what position he was in at that time.
Xingyao quietly entered Shude Hill, climbed to the top and came to Li Qingshui, he wanted to see the current situation of this mountain god in person, but found that Li Qing Shui had entered a dead state of being unaware of all external objects, sitting there was really like a sculpture, but the person was still alive.
Of course, Xingyao knew why Bai Sha would let Li Qing Shui live in the world, and why Li Qing Shui would live like this, this was another silent battle between the two masters. Xingyao didn't ask Qing Shui anything, because he knew that it was useless for him to ask. Li Qingshui's current situation, he can't hear any sound at all, let alone know what is happening in the area of Shanshui City.
Xingyao inexplicably had a feeling that today's Li Qingshui should no longer care whether Bai Sha would kill him, as if what he wanted to do had already been done. This feeling made Xingyao very uneasy, and he immediately rushed back to Chiwangqiu to meet Bai Sha and report what he had seen. (To be continued......)
