Chapter 11: Snow Lion

The back garden of Shilipo Post Station is barren and desolate.

Grasshoppers flying.

Tang Yu, Lao Lin, and Xiang Jincheng were ordered to search the mountain, and they carefully walked through the weeds, climbed over the low wall, and searched towards the back mountain. Because according to Feng and Cheng, so many people in the honor guard disappeared for no reason, if they had not passed through the gate through the town and walked through the thoroughfare, and the north and south sides of the post station were open fields, and there was no shelter, then it was very likely that they would be looted up the mountain by gangsters and go west through the black pine forest?

A few people came out of the backyard, fanned out, and walked along the damp and muddy path towards the woods.

Search as you go.

The forest was dark and gloomy, and the air was cold, and there was a foul smell of decay. Tang Yu and the others walked up on the dead branches and leaves, sludge and muddy water. The mountain road was tortuous and very steep, and except for the occasional bird call or two, there was no human figure along the way. Lao Lin leaned on a pine tree, took the water hyacinth, took two sips, and handed it to Tang Yu: "Are you thirsty?"

Tang Yuzheng felt that his throat was dry, so he took a few sips of the gourd, and returned the gourd to Lao Lin.

The old forest is put away.

Tang Yu wiped the water droplets on his chin, frowned and said, "Lao Lin, you have been hunting for a long time, and you have experienced many cases, how can you tell me about such a large honor guard regiment, how can you say that it is gone?"

"The world is so big, and there are many strange things. Lao Lin shook his head, "There are some things that you really can't say." However, in the specific case, all kinds of appearances may be false images deliberately created by the criminal in order to achieve some unknown purpose......"

Tang Yu pondered to himself, still puzzled: "Others are good to say, you want to be Dugu's predecessor, such a big name, such a fierce swordsmanship, looking at the world, how many people can resist? How could he easily comply?"

Lao Lin was silent.

"Shall I talk to you?" Tang Yu nudged him.

Lao Lin smiled: "Because I don't know either." ”

Tang Yu was whimsical, thinking wildly: "Do you think those people secretly poisoned him?"

"No way. This time, Lao Lin's tone was very affirmative, "Dugu came to Jingshi this time, and specially brought two disciples, these two people are young and have high understanding, not only martial arts cultivation and emergency response are first-class, but also defense inspection is not weak. Besides, when Dugu was young, he befriended Tang Jingtian, the founder of the 'New Tang Gate' in Shuzhong, and they were like each other, so they also had a lot of knowledge of all kinds of Qimen poisons. ”

"That's weird. ”

The two were talking, Xiang Jincheng and another catcher also rushed over, and the four of them were in one place and continued to search. Walking through an apricot grove, Xiang Jincheng stopped, wiped his sweat, pointed to an empty space in front of him and said, "Look, there is a thatched hut over there. ”

When they looked around, they saw a thatched hut made of tree branches in the clearing at the edge of the forest, and the weeds on all sides grew wildly, giving birth to patches of slippery moss. There was a broken straw curtain hanging from the doorway. Silence and desolation all around. Lao Lin said: "This may be a temporary residence built by the people of Kanlin, and they usually don't live there." This house, at first glance, is really terrifying!"

A few people waded through the grass and came to the thatched hut, Tang Yu wanted to lift the curtain, but was stopped by Lao Lin: "Don't move - any of you have a spear, go over and open the grass curtain, you must be careful, in case there are criminals or some beasts hidden here?"

Xiang Jincheng was in full swing, he stepped forward, took the red tasseled spear in the hand of another fast catcher, took a few steps over, picked up the gun and fell, and knocked over the grass curtain at the door of the thatched hut with one shot!

Two green flashes flashed.

With a strange cry, a white light burst out of the thatched house.

Everyone was shocked, and hurriedly avoided both sides, and the white light jumped three times, jumped two times, and turned around, and disappeared into the reckless sea of grass.

Xiang Jincheng was shocked: "What is this?"

Tang Yu calmed down, thought for a while, and said, "This seems to be ...... Be...... A cat. ”

"Cats?" Lao Lin was shocked and sighed, "How can there be cats in the barren mountains and mountains here?"

As if remembering something, he spread his feet and beckoned to everyone: "Let's hurry up and follow and see what is going on." "Follow the direction of the white light and run with your legs open, everyone follows behind.

A group of people chased into the black pine forest.

In the woods, a few catchers found what they had just run away again, and it was indeed a cat.

Pure white cat.

Squatting on the trunk of a fallen tree.

The cat was snow-white, without a single stray hair, and in the black forest, it was dazzlingly white. The two eyes were green, green and green, and the glow was shining! Xiang Jincheng was angry, grabbed it, stepped up more and more, spit out the gun, and went straight to the white cat to stab.

He stumbled and fell to the ground.

Lao Lin and Tang Yu hurriedly stepped forward and helped Xiang Jincheng up, and in a blink of an eye, the white cat was gone!

Tang Yu picked up his companion, only to see Xiang Jincheng's eyes closed and his expression calm. He couldn't see why, and shouted Lao Lin: "Take a look, what's wrong with him." Lao Lin came over to take a look, nodded and said, "He's asleep." ”

"Sleep, how is this possible?"

"Because that cat is hypnotic. Lao Lin said, stood up and grabbed Tang Yu: "Come, we want to wake him up." ”

"A cat can actually be hypnotized, unbelievable?" Tang Yu couldn't figure it out.

Lao Lin's face sank, and he said, "What's so strange about this, the owner of this cat is the famous Snow Mountain Great Sword Master in Kyushu......"

"Dugu seeks defeat. ”

"Yes.

Tang Yu was even rarer: "An invincible great swordsman in the world would actually like cats?"

"Our emperor still likes 'pearl jade white jade soup'?"

"That's just as well. ”

Lao Lin took off the water hyacinth on his waist, unscrewed the stopper, poured a few sips, and then leaned down and sprayed water onto Xiang Jincheng's face at once.

Xiang Jincheng snorted twice, opened his eyes, and slowly sat up: "This cat is really evil!"

Lao Lin touched his beard and said, "Dugu loves cats all his life." It is said that his favorite is this hypnotic Persian white cat, which is almost inseparable, and named it 'Snow Lion'......"

"Snow lion?" Xiang Jincheng muttered.

Tang Yu opened his mouth and asked, "Dugu Qiu is missing, but his cat is here, how can this be explained?"

"That's what we're going to look after. ”

Lao Lin turned his face and said, "It's getting late, Xiao Xiang has also woken up, it's not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's hurry back and report to Cheng and Feng to catch the head, right?"

Everyone agreed, formed a team, and returned to the bottom of the mountain.

Back at Shilipo Station, several people told the head catcher about the encounter with the "snow lion" in the thatched hut on the mountain and Xiang Jincheng being hypnotized and falling to the ground on the spot, and Cheng and Feng attached great importance to it. Cheng Liangjia said: "I have read relevant information, this 'snow lion' is indeed very favored by Master Dugu, and he carries it almost everywhere, and it is impossible to separate easily. Now it appears in the mountains and forests of Shilipo, which is even more unusual? It's just that this cat is too powerful and hypnotic, and it is difficult for ordinary people to approach it......

Feng Letai smiled slightly, showing a confident appearance, and said: "There is a Tibetan lama in Huangjue Temple in the capital, named Darba, he is not only good at raising animals, I heard that he is also good at hypnosis?"

"That's it. Cheng Liangjia ordered: "Hurry up and report to Lord Yin Wu, no matter what, try to ask this Darba to make a hard trip." Catch the 'Snow Lion'. I always feel that things are not simple, there are a lot of things, I don't know where to start, we catch this cat, maybe we can open an important node in the mysterious disappearance case!"
