Chapter 391: Drawing lots
After the new rain in the empty mountains, the weather is late in autumn.
Although it is the beginning of summer, after a rainstorm, the sultry heat of the weather is temporarily driven away, and even after a day of exposure, the leaves on the forest path are also damp. When people step on it, they can squeeze out a lot of water.
A string of footsteps was heard, and although the feet were very light, they still creaked on the water-filled blades of grass. The visitors stopped, there were three of them, and they didn't care about the surrounding scenery, but observed the environment.
"It rained so hard the night before that a lot of traces were washed away by the rain!" said a man dressed in white, looking around.
"Traces can never be erased, heavy rain washes away old clues, and it is easier to leave new ones. Brother Zong, I think you're in a hurry, hehe!" the other shook the folding fan and said with a very chic smile.
Brother Zong'er's expression was solemn, and he said with a little dissatisfaction: "Can you not be in a hurry? Wang Yuxin, that guy said to leave, he was free and easy, and he didn't think about others!"
"Haha, Brother Zong, you are obsessed with martial arts, and martial arts are the highest among our brothers, which is admired by the younger brother. However, whether it is martial arts or tracking, it is important to have a peaceful state of mind, otherwise how can you find the right way. According to the younger brother, Brother Zong, you are not in a hurry to find Wang Yuxin, but to find Marshal Yue in a hurry. The folding fan Xiushi said neatly.
Brother Zong was said to be the center, and he couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and he was also a little embarrassed for a while. Appearing here at this moment, who still wants to learn from Yue Fei, who else can there be besides Zhang Zong, and it is Uncle Mu Tian who answers Zhang Zong. Samsung made tracking Wang Yuxin, but unfortunately a heavy rain hindered their trip, although they were not afraid of the wind and cold, but the heavy rain itself was destroying their tracking, not to mention that no one would feel good on the rainy night, so the three of them looked for shelter from the rain, after all, they were delayed for a night.
After the three of them set off the next day, they couldn't help complaining about their bad luck, and a heavy rain washed away all the traces, which undoubtedly made the tracking of the three more difficult. However, the three of them are still masters after all, although it took a lot of effort, but it took most of the day to find the vicinity of Yizhuang, and the three of them were on the trail not far from Yizhuang.
"Brother Zong'er, you see, the previous life is not impatient or impatient, and in terms of tracking, he is more advanced than you and me. Uncle Mu Tian shook the folding fan lightly, and his attitude was leisurely, not like he was looking for someone, but like an outing.
His words caused Zhang Zong to say yes again and again, but Wang Shangsheng, who wanted to search on the side, snorted coldly and said: "You two are enough, there is no end, there should be a limit to shamelessness, what are you pretending to be there, don't you just want to be passive and slack off, hurry up and look for it together." ”
Wang Shangsheng's face was slightly red, and the chic and leisurely state just now was gone, and they were reprimanded by Wang Shangsheng, and the two were powerless to refute, so they had to rush over and nod their heads to join the search.
To track this work, the important thing is to find clues, and the key to finding clues is to find and practice meticulously. What you can see at a glance is not a clue, but a notice. The three of them are good at tracking, so naturally it is impossible to poke their eyelids there like a magic stick, and they can eat and drink with one mouth, so the more proficient they are, the more they know that there is no shortcut to this technique, and it all depends on intuition, experience, and luck. So the three big masters of tracking, at this time, the cat is bent on the waist, pouting, burying their heads in searching, and they can't see the demeanor of the master at all.
The three of them searched for valuable clues while constantly communicating.
"It's all traces of rain here, and no one seems to have been there. Wang Shangsheng first shared the results of his own struggle.
"I have discovered!" Zhang Zong suddenly shouted, and the other two people were overjoyed when they heard the sound, only to hear Zhang Zong say, "Did you find a big mansion over there!"
The big mansion that Zhang Zong said is naturally Yizhuang.
Such a big Yizhuang is in front of the three of them, and it is a strange talk to say that they can't find it, but Zhang Zong seems to have just seen it, and he doesn't know how the title of tracking master came about. And the reaction of the other two was also strange, they all had a sudden expression, and praised and said: "Brother Zong'er is really good eyesight!"
Yizhuang is close at hand, I'm afraid only the blind can't see it, and this is like scolding to ordinary people, not to mention the three tracking masters. However, these three people were very careful, and they didn't check when they found clues, and they didn't know what medicine was sold in the gourd.
"Such a Zhuangzi suddenly appeared in the wilderness, what do the two brothers think?" Zhang Zong said as he looked at the two of them expectantly.
"According to the younger brother, there must be something strange in this. Uncle Mu Tian took the lead in expressing his position.
"Seconded. Wang Shangsheng said succinctly.
Zhang Zong saw that the two of them were angry in their hearts, so they no longer concealed it, and said directly: "Then I don't know the two brothers, who is going to check it?"
Wang Shangsheng and the two were silent, and after a while, Uncle Mu Tian spoke: "Since Brother Zong discovered it first, then you will come out on top!"
When Wang Shangsheng heard that Uncle Mu Tian had already said the shameless words, he immediately stopped hesitating, and continued: "This is very good, the first soup will be tasted by Brother Zong'er." ”
After the two finished speaking, Zhang Zong's forehead was bruised, and he immediately tore off the disguise just now, and scolded angrily: "You two shameless bastards, what a head, what a head, such a big house, you can't see it, it's shameless!"
"I can lie on the ground just now to find clues, but you are the one who found Yizhuang first, don't blame me!" Wang Shangsheng took himself out first.
"I know that it is Yizhuang, and I am still playing with surprises here, playing brother. Zhang Zongnai looked at Wang Shangsheng obliquely.
"Don't quarrel between the two brothers, because such a small thing hurts your brother's harmony, and it's not worth it. "Uncle Mu Tian came out to be a peacemaker at this time.
"Fuck off, you're no better. Seeing that Uncle Mu Tian was out of the matter, Zhang Zong and the others were even more angry, and at the same time they pushed him with their palms and shouted, "You go first." ”
was suddenly attacked, but Uncle Mu Tian was not flustered, as if he had expected it, the folding fan shook and unfolded, and the fan covered his whole person, blocking the two of them, Uncle Mu Tian took advantage of the situation to take three steps back, and shouted to himself: "It's not that the little brother doesn't want to go, it's really ...... I'm afraid ......"
The people in the rivers and lakes shed blood without tears, even if they are at the moment of life and death, for the sake of face and backbone, they will frown at most, this group of people licking blood from the knife should be not afraid of heaven and earth, but Uncle Mu Tian said the word fear, and he didn't know what kind of fear made him so.
But Wang Shangsheng and Zhang Zong did not sympathize, but shouted: "Yizhuang is a place for the dead, you kill a lot, you are afraid of a fart of the dead!"
"What is there to be afraid of the dead, I am afraid...... Ghosts. Uncle Mu Tian said the previous sentence with confidence, but the latter sentence suddenly became cringe.
This sentence immediately made the other two speechless, afraid of ghosts, this reason may only be suitable for women, but when this proposition is really taken out, maybe everyone will hesitate. Some people are bold because they think that ghosts and gods do not exist, but people in the martial arts practice martial arts, and when they go to the extreme, they will eventually come into contact with the way of heaven. However, the way of heaven is impermanent, and there will eventually be many unexplained phenomena, so that the theory of ghosts and gods will become more and more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and even those who do not believe in ghosts and gods will hesitate to some extent.
Because the closer one is to the Heavenly Dao, the more he can feel that there are other forms of existence in the underworld, and ghosts and gods may be just one of them. It's not that the higher the cultivation, the easier it is to see ghosts, but if you have doubts in your heart, over time, there will eventually be an outbreak, and this kind of outburst needs a trigger point, for the three-star envoy, the Yizhuang in front of him is undoubtedly a trigger point.
After all, the theory of ghosts and gods is ethereal, but in the spirit of believing in it rather than believing in it, the three of them are still a little frightened after all. In this wilderness, a Yizhuang suddenly appeared, which could not be explained by their common sense, and they were good at tracking, and they knew that there was no one in the vicinity, so it was even more strange that Yizhuang was weird, and this was the previous scene, the three of them knew that they had to go for a walk, but who would take the lead, this is a problem.
The words have been spoken, and the three of them simply stopped pretending to be stupid, looked at each other, and didn't know what to do for a while.
Finally, Uncle Mu Tian began to speak: "Brothers, it looks like it's going to be dark this day, and if you delay it any longer, I'm afraid it will be even worse." ”
Legend has it that ghosts and gods are afraid of light, but the location of Yizhuang is shaded by trees, and it is a quiet place elsewhere, but there is no sunlight shining in, even during the day, it is not very bright, and this is at night, just thinking about it feels eerie and terrifying.
The three of them shivered at the same time, they were all smart people, and they knew the truth that they had to die to save face and suffer crimes, and no one would be strong at this time, so a new round of prevarication and accusation began. After arguing for a while, the three of them finally gradually stopped, knowing that it was not a way to go on like this, or Uncle Mu Tian said: "Brothers, it's not okay to go on like this, since no one wants to go first, then the three of us go together, and no one wants to run!"
The reason why people are lonely is often because there are no like-minded people, even if a group of people do a stupid thing together, everyone will not feel stupid. Advancing and retreating together, even if it is to die together, many people will not feel fear. Uncle Mu Tian proposed this construction, and the other two hesitated for a moment, so they readily agreed, after all, the three of them went out of the same school and grew up together, and the tacit understanding had long been cultivated, and since they had a direction, they immediately reached a consensus.
However, although ideas and actions are related, they are two completely different things, and good ideas do not mean that actions are good. There was a direction, but after the three of them looked at each other for a long time, they still did not move.
So, prevarication and accusation. The scene seemed to be back to before, only this time, it was much darker.
"Why don't we draw lots!" Uncle Mu Tian once again put forward constructive suggestions, and this time they were also recognized.
Uncle Mu Tian looked for a few long blades of grass around, sorted them out and said: "Five blades of grass, three long and two short, draw the short ones, for the sake of fairness, I will be the last one." ”
"Why do we do five lots?" the king was surprised.
"In this way, it is possible for two people to go at the same time, and it can also be courageous!"
"Why are there three long and two short, it's too unlucky, right?" Zhang Zong asked dissatisfiedly.
"What do you know, gambling money three long and two short is the meaning of steady winning, more in and less out, steady profit and no loss, is a good sign. Uncle Mu Tian explained in detail from his hobbies.
The other two looked at each other and muttered, "No wonder you lose all the time!"
"Less nonsense, hurry, buy and leave, uh...... It's to catch it and leave!" Uncle Mu Tian seemed very dedicated in gambling.
The three of them gathered around and carefully selected, for fear that they would draw a short lot, but at this moment, a voice suddenly remembered: "Three, what are you playing, so focused?"
