The soldier was making a fire to make food. Suddenly a rabbit ran past the camp. Panhu barked and ran after the rabbit. The tiger boy also yelled: "Panhu, don't run around!" Then he got up and chased the dog.
The figure quickly disappeared into the distant jungle. Everyone didn't take it seriously at first, thinking they would come back soon. However, after the things were cooked, the children and dogs were nowhere to be seen, and they were nowhere to be seen until dark.
Zhongzhuang sent soldiers to search around, but found nothing. They originally took the tiger baby to the capital to see the world, but how come they lost the baby as soon as they arrived in Bayuan! This team was in the original place again.
I stayed there all day, but still couldn't find Huwa and Panhu.
Everyone had orders from Lord Shan to catch up with the team led by Xin Shu as quickly as possible and join them before Xin Shu arrived at the capital. They could not delay any longer, so they had to continue on their way.
The soldiers led by Zhong Zhuang were originally from the hunting teams of Lu Village and Huahai Village. They knew Panhu's abilities. Nothing would happen to this dog. He was a good player in both hunting and fighting. There were almost no ferocious beasts in the mountains that could.
How can I get it? As for Huwa, his flying stone skill is also impressive, and with the protection of Panhu, they can survive even in the wilderness, and can even retrieve it by themselves.
…
A few days after Huwa left Shanshui City, this wild wilderness became lively again. First, there was a visit from a national worker. His name was Gou Hao, who came from Songgang City, another city in Xiangshi Kingdom. He had both
As a Gonggong of the country, of course he is also a monk with superb cultivation. Gou Hao does not work in the city. He only practices secret arts on weekdays and is good at traveling and making friends. He once met Xin Shu in the capital and had a good conversation with him.
.
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 was very curious and admired, and this time he came to visit the legendary Lord of Ruoshan City.
.
When cultivation reaches a certain level, cultivation becomes the most important thing in daily life, and the monks will form their own world. It is an area that ordinary people cannot intervene. They all have magical powers, and they often have common interests and pursuits.
Sharing cultivation experiences and talking about anecdotes together is helpful to each other, and we can also find the feeling of "extraordinary".
This kind of communication between monks is also a means of establishing personal relationships. If something happens in the future, it will be easier to find someone for help. Ruoshan originally lived in the mountains and did not get involved in the circle that only belonged to monks on Ba Yuan; but Gou Hao's situation was exactly the same.
On the contrary, he visited almost every city in the Xiangshi Kingdom and communicated with experts from all over the country to confirm.
Although Gou Hao's cultivation has not broken through the sixth realm and is still at the seventh level of the fifth realm, his extensive knowledge of various sects of cultivation and his extensive contacts are probably one of the best in Xiangshi Kingdom. Of course Ruoshan received him warmly
Gou Hao, exchanged cultivation experiences with him, talked about wild anecdotes, and accompanied Mr. Gou Hao to enjoy the surrounding scenery.
Not only Gou Hao came, but also several monks came to visit him. According to them, this is called "worshiping the mountain", and this term is very appropriate for Ruoshan.
The excitement is not just that. Several caravans came to Shanshui City. Besides trading with the tribesmen at the bottom of the Central Valley, they were also very interested in this wilderness and wanted to visit various villages. Of course, the simple mountain people were very interested.
Welcome with pleasure.
A caravan came to Shanshui City. After doing business, I felt very good, so I wanted to visit the villages in the distance. Not only could I appreciate the scenery, but I could also see the different customs and customs here. I also checked out what other specialties there were. But
This kind of thing happened occasionally in the past, but this time it was different. People from almost every tribe’s village came to visit.
Ruoshan was secretly frightened. It could not be a coincidence that these people had visited various villages in the wilderness at exactly this time. It cannot be said that all of them were related to the murderer who massacred the Qingshui clan, but there must be some among them who were secretly investigating the situation.
Ruoshan followed the mountain god's instructions and pretended as if nothing had happened. He accompanied Gou Hao and the monks who came to pay homage to the mountain and wandered around in the wilderness every day.
Of course, Ruoshan also responded to the request of these distinguished guests and took them to Lu Village and Huahai Village for sightseeing. A few days later, someone politely said that they were embarrassed to bother the Lord of the City with him personally every day, so they went sightseeing in the nearby area on their own.
That's it. These are all masters with good cultivation. Ruoshan just warned them a few words to be careful and let them go. I just stayed with Mr. Gou Hao.
Ruoshan has broken through to the sixth level of cultivation, but his spirit has calmed down very well and naturally. This news has not been announced for the time being. He is still in the process of consolidating and realizing the realm. No monk in the world will have this on his forehead.
If you don't tell the signs of your cultivation level, or if someone sees the details when you reveal your methods, others won't know it too well.
But Ruoshan Yuanshen's senses were far more subtle than before. When he accompanied Gou Hao on his sightseeing tours, he would sometimes vaguely sense something strange.
There seems to be someone flying invisibly in the sky, as if he is searching for something in the mountains and fields, and has also specially observed his and Gou Hao's movements. If you break through the eight realms of cultivation, you will have the ability to fly; and if you have the six realms of cultivation, you will be able to fly.
If you use the inherited artifact that has the magical effect of flying, you can fly to the sky with it. It seems that other masters have also arrived here.
The person who was watching all of this silently but calmly was Ruoshui. As far as Ruoshui knew, someone entered the mountain behind Lu Village and searched in the vast jungle for a long time. Of course Ruoshui did not follow or stop them, and she pretended as if nothing had happened.
, but secretly worried whether these people would find Taihao's ruins.
But the situation is just like what the mountain god said. Without definite clues, it is too difficult to find the remote Taihao ruins. If you just fly in the sky and search over a large area, it will be impossible to find it, unless you search the mountains nearby.
However, in such a large area, it is impossible for anyone to carefully search every place.
Someone did indeed enter the back mountain of Lu Village. They searched very far, until they reached the top of the snow-covered peak. They even searched the caves on the nearby cliffs, but they did not continue to climb over the snow-capped mountains, nor did they reach it.
Near Taihao ruins.
Ruoshan, who was well aware of this, now hoped that as many people would come as possible; if the other party's attention was only focused on the Shanshui City area, then Huwa, who had left the wilderness, could leave calmly. Shanshui City was very lively for a while,
People from various tribes warmly welcome guests from all over the village. This is a rare thing. It feels like a festival and everyone is very happy.
Of course, these tourists cannot all be spies from Chiwangqiu. After they returned, they also brought all kinds of experiences here back to other places. Later, people often went to various villages to enjoy them, and they went to Huahai Village.
This is the place where the most people have been visited. Occasionally, monks come here, all in the name of traveling to worship the mountains.
After Gou Hao said goodbye and left, more than two months later, Lord Xin Shu led the tribute team back and brought back the monarch's commendation and generous rewards. This was another exciting event in Shanshui City. People from various tribes felt that this period
Time is happy every day, but they don't know what kind of crisis this area has experienced.
However, Zhongzhuang, who returned to Shanshui City with Xin Shu, seemed very depressed. He apologized in front of Lord Shan because he lost Huwa and Panhu on the road.
When the team came back, Lord Xin Shu heard about this and stayed for a day at the place where Huwa disappeared. Not only did he send people to search around, he also personally searched the surrounding mountains and forests, and asked nearby villages if there was any information.
No one saw a child and a dog? Still no news.
Zhongzhuang hoped that Huwa and Panhu had returned to Shanshui City on their own, so he came back to ask with luck, but the result was still disappointing. Shan Ye asked about the situation and scolded Zhongzhuang, but did not punish him.
.The situation at that time was that Panhu went to chase the rabbit, Huwa followed Panhu and disappeared, but Zhongzhuang and others tried their best to search.
The loss of a child in a wild tribe is not a trivial matter, but it is not very rare. Each village is located in a remote mountain. If a child runs around without the adults paying attention, it is indeed easy for something to happen. Such accidents occur in almost every village.
It happens every year. And in that era, the child mortality rate was also very high. If Huba wasn't special and loved by Master Shan and Granny Shui, it might not have attracted more attention.
No matter how sad and regretful it is, things have happened. I just hope that Huwa is not in danger and can return to his hometown one day under the protection of Panhu.
…
Li Qingshui's last operation on the white jade altar in Taihao's ruins immediately alerted Chiwangqiu. Xingyao used the power and influence of Chiwangqiu to secretly organize a group of people to enter Shanshui City and go to various villages to investigate strange things.
He made a police report and searched for suspicious places in the wilderness, and he himself arrived in time.
But this time he still found nothing. Xingyao could only confirm that Li Qingshui had contacted the outside world again and used some mysterious magical power, but he could not determine who the person who contacted Li Qingshui was and where he was at that time.
Xingyao quietly entered Shudeqiu, climbed to the top of the mountain and came to Li Qingshui. He wanted to see the mountain god's current condition face to face, but found that Li Qingshui had entered a state of deathly silence and was completely unaware of all external objects.
It's really like a sculpture sitting there, but the person is still alive.
Of course Xingyao knew why Baisha let Li Qingshui live in the world, and why Li Qingshui lived in such a miserable state that life would be worse than death. This was another silent battle between the two masters. Xingyao did not ask any questions.
Qingshui, because he knew it would be useless to ask. Qingshui's current situation would not make any sound at all, let alone what happened in the Shanshui City area.
Xingyao had an inexplicable 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 see him
Baisha, reported everything he saw. (To be continued...)
