Chapter 22 Maling River Jungle
I didn't think much about it when I hung up the phone, I lay down in bed and meditated for a while, and then gradually entered the realm of forgetting things and me.
Unexpectedly, when I woke up the next morning, I found that Lao Lei had said goodbye without saying goodbye! He left money as rent, and quietly slipped away early, without leaving a word, thinking of this, I also hurriedly packed my luggage to say goodbye to Brother Pan, and prepared to go to Qiannan to find out.
"Sister Lin, Lei, is Mr. Lei already gone?" Yin An asked a little breathlessly.
"Yes, yes, you already know?" I'm curious, didn't Lao Lei tell Yin An to leave in two days, why did Lao Lei say goodbye to Yin An as if he knew.
"Yes, I set up a reconnaissance Gu in Damiao Village before, and when I woke up in the morning, I found that Mr. Lei was gone, so I hurried here, where is Sister Lin going?" Yin An explained.
"Yes, when I first returned to Damiao Village from Uncle Teng's house, I found that there were strange ladybugs secretly flying behind me, maybe these ladybugs were reconnaissance Gu. After the reconnaissance Gu discovered Lao Lei, who had He Shou Wu for hundreds of years, Yin An came directly to Lao Lei on the second day to ask for it. It seems that the reason why Yin An knew that Lao Lei had left was due to the information of the detective Gu. I thought in my heart and told Yin An, "Oh, I'm going to go to Qiannan now to see what Lao Lei is doing." ”
"That's right, Sister Lin, Daddy wants me to hurry up and follow Mr. Lei, let's catch up together, it's too dangerous for Mr. Lei to go there alone, and it's likely to get lost, Sister Lin, let's find Mr. Lei quickly." Yin An said.
"Yes, yes, but this old thunder may have gone far away, how will he find it again?" I asked.
"It's okay, before Daddy thought that Mr. Lei might say goodbye, he had already sprinkled the urine of the reconnaissance Gu on Mr. Lei, as long as he followed the reconnaissance Gu, he would definitely be able to find it, you see, the reconnaissance Gu was leading the way, as long as we followed the insects, we could find Mr. Lei, let's go, Sister Lin, we may have to hurry." Yin An said, and took the lead in running with the insects.
"I didn't expect that this reconnaissance Gu is so useful, Lao Lei may not have found out that he has been sprinkled with worm urine that can be used to track by the Miao Jiang reconnaissance Gu, it seems that this Miao Jiang witchcraft really has its own uniqueness, so used to track and investigate, ordinary people really can't find it, it's really a different way, and it has unique attainments!" When I sighed in my heart that the magic power of this witchcraft was vast, I hurriedly followed Yin An all the way.
I only saw that five or six meters in front of Yin An and me, there were always two little pale red ladybugs flying in front, and it was these two little pale red ladybugs that took us like police dogs to chase after this old thunder without saying goodbye.
According to Lao Lei's whereabouts, Yin An and I first took a small bus and then walked, all the way gradually into the depths of southern Qiannan, getting closer and closer to the Maling River Gorge, looking at the endless hills and jungle canyons, I really felt that the mountains and ravines were deep, the forests were luxuriant, and there were insects, snakes, beasts, leeches, poisonous spiders, etc. lurking in the jungle.
According to the memories of Uncle Teng and Yin An, if you want to reach the huge jungle outside the Gouchen Great Array, there is no path to go directly there after coming down from the main road, and you can only reach it on foot by crossing the jungle by yourself, and before that, you can pass through the Maling River Canyon to see the landscape of this "the most beautiful crack on the earth".
Maling River Scenic Area is composed of Caiya Gorge, Tianci Grottoes, Wuli Valley and other landscapes, from the source of the river to the mouth of the river is about 100 kilometers long in the process, the drop is nearly 1,000 meters, in the 1200 meters above sea level Pingchuan cut out of nearly 100 kilometers of canyon. This canyon is a concentrated expression of karst multi-level landform landscape, and is famous for its crevice valleys, waterfall hangings, and calcium carbonate wall hangings.
The season when we came is not the tourist season, from the appearance of the old thunder is from the canyon side of the wild road all the way to the west, among the more uninhabited, due to the lush forest, rich vegetation, it is difficult to walk on the way, fortunately with Yin An, a guide who is familiar with the local conditions, in order to skillfully avoid all kinds of insects, snakes and beasts all the way.
You know, not to mention anything else, the poisonous snakes in southwest Guizhou are everywhere in the jungle, and there are cobras, bamboo leaf greens, five-step snakes, beautiful snakes, etc., once these poisonous snakes hurt people, the poisonous ones can quickly kill people. Besides, the colorful poisonous spiders and super-large poisonous mosquitoes hanging in the forest are all thanks to some Miaojiang Witch Gu Master Secret Potions that Yin An brought with him that can repel insects and snakes, so that he can walk in the forest without fear.
After passing through the Maling River Gorge all the way to the west, it is the most deserted area in the southwest of Guizhou, because the area we walk in are in the deep mountains and rivers, in addition to the continuous mountains and valleys and deep streams, it is all kinds of beasts and birds that we encounter from time to time, this walk is a whole afternoon, until the evening, I really can't walk, I can't see the front of the village and the back of the store, it is already in the depths of thousands of mountains and mountains, it seems that I can only stay overnight in the wild mountains.
When I asked Yin An if he was close to the jungle he was going to, Yin An said that according to the approximate distance, it should not be far away, and he needed to determine the position of the stars at night. I feel fresh when I hear it, this witchcraft is also a little through the stars, a question to know, the original witchcraft actually includes not only worm Gu, envoy ghosts, herb blending, witch puppet operation and other techniques, all of the above have been counted as the last skills, the real witchcraft is broad and profound, up to the astronomy, down to the earth and reason, covering the five elements of yin and yang, connecting all things in heaven and earth, but unfortunately, for some reason, since Chi You died in battle, witchcraft has rapidly declined, and many previous spells and records have been lost one by one.
Take the insect Gu technique as an example, if you change to an ancient wizard who specializes in Gu arts, there is actually another name, also called "the master of all beasts", which means that it is not only the servitude and control of insects, but also the same control effect on all beasts and birds, so it is called the master of all beasts.
According to Yin An, a few years ago, he came to this Gou Chen Great Array mainly because of the white peacock and the little earthworm to lead the way, and along the way it was also in this deep mountain and old forest, according to the small earthworm and white peacock at that time, the ancient Gou Chen Emperor had already made arrangements outside the Gou Chen Great Array, and any compass and compass would be mysteriously out of order.
At that time, in the chat with the little earthworm and the white peacock, I learned that after arriving at the approximate location in the depths of southwest Guizhou, if you want to find the right path to Gou Chen Da Array, you can only look up at the stars, and the Canglong Star Constellation composed of the Seven Houses in the East will use the tail and Kei two stars to form an arrow to indicate the gateway to the end of the Gou Chen Great Array, and that portal is in a jungle.
Last time, the little earthworm took Uncle Teng to find an old tree in the jungle and then turned forward and reversed a few times to find the path to further penetrate into the Linglong Demon Realm, and according to the little earthworm, every time the Gou Chen Great Array transforms, it will change the coordinates in the jungle, if it is not for the envoy of the demon world, outsiders will not be able to know the coordinates.
Hearing Yin An say this, I hurriedly went to look at the compass on my watch, and sure enough, I saw the needle spinning around, I don't know if it was because of geomagnetism or some other reason, the compass really failed. It seems that even if you get here, if you don't know the reason, then the jungle where the Linglong Demon Realm portal is located really can't be found, because there are endless jungle hills for nearly a thousand miles on the left and left, who knows that jungle is the real place to look.
"To put it this way, even if Lao Lei came to this wilderness according to the approximate location marked by Uncle Teng, he wouldn't be able to find the jungle that was the gateway to the Linglong Demon Realm, would he have a chance to enter it by mistake?" I asked Yin An.
At that time, Daddy Guang pointed out the approximate location to Mr. Lei, but forgot to mention that he needed to see the direction of the stars, and he only remembered this matter after Mr. Lei left. According to the white peacock back then, the area near the jungle has been arranged with a huge Qimen array, except for the demon clan who is the messenger knows how to enter this Qimen array, they can only rely on the tail of the dragon on the stars as a guide, otherwise, they will only shuttle back and forth between the vast hills outside the jungle without a path. As soon as Yin An said this, I thought that poor Lao Lei seemed to have a share in circles.
After discussing with Yin An, we decided to eat and rest first, and we calculated that if Lao Lei had already arrived here, he would probably wander around this vast mountain range because he couldn't find a place, so when we met Lao Lei, we would take him in with us.
I don't have a lot of experience in outdoor camping, and I only camped with my classmates on the way to Mount Kailash last time I went to Tibet. When it comes to camping in the wild jungle, I really don't have any experience.
Fortunately, Yin An is an expert in this area, perhaps he once followed Uncle Teng to wander in the deep mountains and old forests in the depths of southern Qiannan all the year round, and he is particularly familiar with camping and resting, especially, as an orthodox descendant of the Miao Jiang Witch Gu Master, the camping of the Witch Master is very different from ordinary people.
On the way here, Yin An sprinkled some strange potions on my body and gave me a sachet to put on my body, according to his words, this is the equipment that all sorcerers must bring when entering the wild jungle.
In the past, the witch masters of Miao Jiang, due to different factions, sometimes had friction, so the witch masters were extra careful when they went to the wild to find medicinal herbs, one was afraid that the enemy would seek revenge and secretly go to Gu, the second was to avoid poisonous insects and beasts in the wild, and the third was that a person would inevitably encounter unclean things outside (wandering spirits, wild ghosts, etc.), in order to effectively hide themselves, the witch masters would prepare some secret potions or special spice packets to cover their own breath and bring them on their bodies, which can not only dispel mosquitoes, but also completely cover their breath, even if the air exhaled by a living person, as long as they carry a special spice packet, then there will be a special smell around the body to completely eliminate the exhaled breath。
Along the way, I also asked Yin An, how these potions and spice packets are made, Yin An smiled and said, this is the secret of the witch master, unless I am willing to make a blood oath to learn witchcraft from him, otherwise he will not tell me the secret recipe, however, he probably mentioned that it needs to be made with some dung and nectar of birds and animals, and when I heard it, my heart suddenly felt a little nauseous.
Listening to Yin An's meaning, people are emitting their own breath at any time, the skin and mouth have the unique smell of living people in the air, everyone has a smell that only belongs to them, these smells may make people smell very little, but for animals or even ghosts, all the unique smells of people and the breath of living people are very obvious.
Due to the yang energy in the breath exhaled by the person and the smell emanating from the body, in order to completely cover up the existence of the breath, in addition to transforming the smell, it is also necessary to use a little yin to offset the yang energy emitted between the breaths, and the feces of some birds are combined with snake blood (the blood of cold-blooded animals) to have this effect, and then use the natural plant breath (such as pollen), the earth qi contained in the soil and so on mixed in it, and finally add the potion to avoid poisonous insects and beasts, you can let the witch master travel safely.
Compared with the "Columbia" tent I bought from a professional outdoor store, the tent brought by Yin An is a canvas tent sewn by himself, coated with a layer of dark green camouflage glue on the outside, placed in the jungle, just to form a protective color, his tent is relatively low, enough for two people to get into, it looks like a small dirt bag, and he arranged some weeds from the tent, completely integrating the tent into the entire jungle, making people not see that this is a tent.
"Sister Lin, your tent is too conspicuous, not very breathable, the most important thing is that your tent has a strong smell of fiber and plastic, and it is too easy to attract poisonous insects, snakes and ants in the jungle, so it's better not to set it up, you just sleep in this tent of mine, which I specially brought for you, it is coated with a layer of medicinal slurry on the outside, so as to ensure that you have a peaceful night." Yin An said.
"Ah, where do you sleep?" I was a little embarrassed.
"We usually sleep on trees, which is safer. Yin An said, his hands around the tree two or three times and jumped up the big tree overhead, only to see him between the three branches of the tree neatly pull and tie a few hemp ropes, and then spread a thick canvas on it, a simple bed was arranged, and then, Yin An took a self-sewn earthen sleeping bag wrapped in some kind of black feathers from under the tree and got in.
"Don't worry, Sister Lin, I can only sleep soundly in the trees in the forest, and the air above is better, you can sleep with peace of mind tonight, I have already arranged it around, and it will be fine." "I seemed a little embarrassed to see me, and the young man hurriedly relieved me.
