It turns out that there are some things that Ji Yuan's self-confidence is still quite confused, which of course does not refer to cultivation, but something more metaphysical.

Ji Yuan was 100% sure that his direction was absolutely not wrong, and he ran south in the direction of the ridge after leaving the city and climbing over a small hill.

But now Ji Yuan suddenly realized a serious problem, that is, the maps he may know may not be accurate.

In the end, it is still too impressive to think in the previous life, forgetting that ancient maps are sometimes very abstract, and the level of detail is naturally impossible to compare with the real-life shooting and satellite positioning in the previous life.

The biggest terrain in Ji Yuan's hand is carved by the military judgment of the Chenghuang Division of Ning'an County, so the problem comes.

After the death of the military judge, it has been dozens or hundreds of years, and then he may not have been out of many far doors during his lifetime, and the engraved maps are naturally found to be copied together, and some of these maps may be old drawings hidden by the Chenghuang Yin Division.

Just because the person who carved the picture is a ghost cultivator of incense Shinto should not be considered that the carved picture is also magical and accurate, but in fact the accuracy may be worrying.

After thinking about it for a while, Ji Yuan stopped his pace and muttered to himself.

"It's a little different from what I imagined...... So... Where's the road?"

Ji Yuan was a little dazed, after running and stopping for a day, he finally admitted that he was actually lost again.

A kind of 'I know who I am, but where am I?' life torture arises from Ji Yuan's heart.

I should have been able to see a river channel a long time ago, but I didn't see a conspicuous waterway all the way, so Ji Yuan ran boldly with confidence, until now.

The left and right in front of you are all a forest land that is not dense, and the terrain is full of low hills and low slopes, which are estimated to be only a few tens of meters high, and they are not even peaks.

However, there are some trails on the ground, some of which seem to have been walked by wild beasts, and some of which are obviously left by people, although they are covered with weeds, Ji Yuan can still feel a little trace of the wheels pressing on them.

Then again, on the comfort of wearing shoes, I really feel that this life is much stronger than the previous life, every pair of shoes is embroidery workshop or the people's girls and virtuous women a stitch and a thread, the soles are relatively soft, the upper is a multi-layer cloth, comfortable to wear and not diaphragm, but this may also be related to the previous life Ji Yuan did not have a lot of money and did not buy high-end shoes.

Ji Yuan doesn't worry about anything, as long as the direction is roughly correct, he is not an ordinary person now, he is hungry and has the ability to smell and smell with his hand, and he is not worried about not being able to find food and drink.

He didn't run anymore, he took a stroll as a rest, picked a trail that followed the direction, probably the path of the beast, and took out the pot of wine from his back bag, opened the lid and took two sips, and then put it back in his bag.

When he stepped over a piece of dry grass on the ground, Ji Yuan, who was just about to step down, suddenly stopped his steps in his heart, withdrew his dangling feet, squatted down and reached out to carefully remove the dead grass, revealing a trap for catching beasts.

I put my face closer and tried to take a closer look, and I could see in the blur that the main part had two iron hoops with sharp serrations, and there were some small holes in the middle that stood a lot of bamboo strips that seemed to be concocted by oil immersion and other methods, but now the bamboo strips are bent very much, and it seems that there are still some things like animal tendons, although there is a big difference from the spring technology in the previous life, but it should be a beast trap.

"How powerful can this be without the help of springs?"

Some curious Ji Yuan found a wooden stick with the length of his thumb and arm, and pointed it at the iron piece that was used as a trigger in the middle of the trap.

"Click..."

With a crisp bite, the branch in his hand was directly clamped off.

"Hiss......"

Ji Yuan gasped, knowing that he would not be seriously injured if he stepped on it like this just now, but his scalp would inevitably tingle.

However, there are animal traps, and naturally there are hunters, indicating that there are still people nearby.

After thinking about it, Ji Yuan once again put the not too complicated animal trap in place according to the order of the lines, this kind of clip of bamboo and animal tendon principle, it is estimated that the number of bites should not be high, and the bamboo will quickly elastic and fatigue.

After covering the previous weeds, Ji Yuan got up and hurried again, only this time he didn't follow the animal path.

When he climbed a low hill dozens of meters high, Ji Yuan's eyes lit up, although his worrisome vision was blurry, but he did not lack the sensitivity to dynamic things, and he could see smoke rising in the distance, and the color was black, it should be someone burning a fire.

。。。

On the leeward side of the mound, three miles away, four men in light leather coats with leather armguards tied to their trouser legs and forearms were resting by the campfire, most of them carrying bows and arrows, some on their backs, some on the side, and some with machetes and spears.

A skinned hare and a plucked pheasant are roasted on a fire.

"Hey, it's been a few days since I came out, I didn't hunt any big goods, and I lost the beads given by my mother, what a fucking bad luck!"

"Okay, just go back to the temple stall and buy one for five cents, as for chattering about it!"

"What do you know! That's what my mother went to the temple to ask for, not a stall to buy, it's different!"

"Look at you, I didn't say the same, didn't you buy it to deceive your mother, otherwise you wouldn't be scolded to death?"

"Uh... Makes sense!"

The two people next to him also smiled when they heard this, but they didn't have the frustration of having no prey, how could they return with a full load of hunting in the mountains and forests.

"Shh......h Don't even talk, there's someone over there!"

The sound by the fire suddenly stopped, and several hunters either drew their bows or picked up their spears.

However, it was not dark yet, and although several people were vigilant, they were not nervous.

"Ladies and gentlemen, I lost my way when I was on my way, and when I saw the fire here, I have come to ask you for directions. ”

Ji Yuan's clear voice came from a little distance, and he also deliberately moved louder so that a few people could find out, and stopped when he walked more than a dozen steps away from a few people.

"Where are you going?"

A hunter clutching a spear asked aloud as several people watched Ji Yuan.

The visitor carried a burden and an umbrella, and the clothes he wore were not suitable for the mountains and forests, and although his appearance was gentle, he was still slightly suspicious.

"Dare to ask which direction Qingshui County is, it stands to reason that I should be able to see a river after I go south after crossing the Luoyue Ridge, and I can get to Qingshui County along the way, why is there no river along the way?"

"The river?"

Several Orions looked at each other, all confused.

Then the older one suddenly seemed to think of something.

"You can't be talking about the old Qingshui River, right?"

Ji Yuan didn't know what the name of the river was, but this situation was probably the case.

"It should be. ”

"I heard from the old people in the township that the old Qingshui River Master used to flow through Qianling from Qingshui County, but it seems that in order to facilitate the irrigation of the fields, more than 20 years ago, the county ordered the old man to mobilize the villagers to change the river channel, and it will not flow to the end of the mountain. ”

Ji Yuan suddenly realized.

"So that's the case, so how far is this place from Qingshui County?"

"If you walk twenty or thirty miles to the east, you can almost see the official road, and if you walk half a day further, you can see people. ”

Twenty or thirty miles, it doesn't seem to be very far.

"Thank you for telling me!"

Ji Yuan arched his hand and left directly, he didn't plan to eat barbecue meat here that was boring or dead-skinned, people were obviously wary of him, twenty or thirty miles was a matter of spreading his legs and running for a while.

Seeing that Ji Yuan left so decisively, and his person was dressed as a gentleman, several hunters were slightly stunned.

"Uh, this big gentleman, you're going to go twenty or thirty miles of mountain roads, it's going to be dark!"

In the end, he was not bad-hearted, and in the end, there was still a hunter who shouted at Ji Yuan, it was the one who lost the beads.

It was this shout that made Ji Yuan look at the speaker twice, and he could see something at this glance.

Since the formation of mana, Ji Yuan's eyes have changed a little, and he can see some of the "qi and fire" of ordinary people.

In order to confirm, Ji Yuan's eyes widened slightly, and the vague feeling did not decrease, but the "weather" revealed by the hunters was much clearer.

The one who spoke out just now had an inconspicuous trace of red and black gas swirling around his head, like a trace of smoke that was vaguely passing on the smoke outside, and he couldn't notice it if he didn't look closely.

Ji Yuan stopped, and complained to the man with some caution.

"There's no way, don't you hurry up, will you spend the night in this barren mountain and wilderness? What if there are wild beasts? And the bows and spears in the hands of several people are also terrifying......"

Ji Yuan's slightly nervous and panicked appearance lowered the vigilance of the hunters.

"Hahaha, don't worry, sir, we are just hunters, not strongmen, there are wild beasts that happen to be hunted at night, if Mr. doesn't dislike it, come and sit, we will go back to the village tomorrow morning, not far from Qingshui County." ”

Ji Yuan looked overjoyed but still didn't dare to approach.

"So, is that appropriate?"

"Hahahaha... Come here, sir, what's inappropriate, look at this pheasant and hare are almost roasted, how is the skill of our country hunters?"

The other hunters laughed good-naturedly.

Having said that, the "mutual" has let down a lot of vigilance, and Ji Yuan naturally got over with a thousand thanks.
