Chapter Thirty-Three: Leopard Track and Tiger Shadow
Three months later…
Since opening up the Rendu and Du Meridians, Yu Fei has entered the 'Great Zhoutian' cultivation stage. However, he feels that his cultivation has encountered a bottleneck, and there seems to be no significant improvement in a few months.
However, he found that the power of his soul had been greatly improved. Not only could the soul stay out of the body for longer and longer, but the range that the soul could see when leaving the body became further and further away, so he tried to use the
He telepathically sensed the red flame beast, but found that there seemed to be some kind of barrier where the red flame beast was. With his current strength, he still couldn't break through it. It seemed that he had to get through the Great Zhou first.
On this day, Yu Fei received a call from Luo Zi. Luo Zi said that his father's sixtieth birthday would be in two days and he was going to drive back to his hometown. Since he took the millions given by Ding Laosan, Luo Zi bought
A Toyota Cross Country. But it was too boring to drive home alone, so I thought Yu Fei had nothing to do, so I invited him to go back with me.
After Yu Fei resigned, he never went to work. On weekdays, he would speculate in stocks at home during the day, and devote himself to practicing "Xuanxiu Dao" at night. When he heard that Luo Zi invited him to go back to his hometown with him, he thought that this was a good idea. On the one hand, Tang Yan had already
After he recovered, he just happened to take Tang Yan back to meet his parents. On the other hand, he had encountered a bottleneck in his cultivation, so he might as well take a rest and relax.
Yu Fei suddenly thought that Zhu Sheng and Monkey were planning to go on a trip recently, but they hadn't chosen a travel location yet. The Shunhuang Mountain where they lived happened to be a good place with beautiful mountains and clear waters, so he called Zhu Sheng and invited him and Monkey to go together.
, the beast readily agreed.
Around nine o'clock the next morning, Luo Zi drove to the downstairs of Yu Fei's house and picked up Yu Fei and Tang Yan. Zhu Sheng and Monkey also drove the BMW SUV newly bought by Monkey's father. They were a group of five people and two cars.
Then we headed towards Hunan.
It wasn't until after 11 o'clock in the evening that they arrived at Yu Fei's hometown - Dong'an County, Hunan Province.
The beast and the monkey went directly to the hotel. Yu Fei took Tang Yan back to his home. Yu Fei's parents had been waiting for a long time at home and were very happy to see Tang Yan. Yu Fei's house is a house with four bedrooms and two living rooms.
Yu Fei's parents arranged for him and Tang Yan to live in a room each. After traveling for a day, Tang Yan felt very tired and went to rest after taking a shower.
Yu Fei sat in the living room and chatted with his father. He showed the Red Flame Ice Pendant to his father. His father was shocked when he saw that the Red Flame Ice Pendant had changed color. Yu Fei took the opportunity to ask about the origin of this jade pendant.
.
"This jade pendant was actually not handed down from our ancestors, Lao Yu, but your grandfather found it in a cave in his hometown." My father thought for a while and told the truth.
"Is it Black Water Rock?" That mysterious place immediately appeared in Yu Fei's mind.
"That's right there. You actually remember this place!" His father was quite surprised, because Yu Fei was born in the county town and rarely went back to the countryside. He had never been to Blackwater Pond and only heard about it from himself.
"Because you once told me a legend about the dragon in Blackwater Pool, and I still remember it."
"That's not a legend, but a real thing. The third son of the Wang family is still alive now, almost eighty years old. That Blackwater Rock is a very magical place. Your grandfather actually lived there.
After going in there, it was so big that he almost lost his way, but he accidentally saw a large house with various dragon sculptures inside. He saw a box in that house, and when he opened it, he found
The jade pendant you are wearing now. The cave was extremely dangerous. At that time, he thought he would die in it, but then he walked upstream along an underground river and miraculously returned to the Blackwater Pool, so he
I always feel that this jade pendant has blessed him."
What his father said made Yu Fei think deeply: "What is the connection between the red flame beast, the dragon, and the black water rock? Why would someone place the red flame ice spirit pendant in the black water rock? What exactly is that?
What a place."
The next day was Luo Zi's father's sixtieth birthday. Yu Fei took Tang Yan and called animals and monkeys to congratulate him.
At the banquet, Luo Zi’s third uncle who came from the countryside told a strange thing that happened in their village recently:
"A few days ago, a villager went to the mountains to graze cattle. When he reached a pond in the back mountain, he tied two cows to a tree beside the pond, and then he took off his clothes and went swimming in the water.
, but when he finished swimming and came ashore, he was surprised to find that the two cows were missing, and the rope that tied the cows was torn off by something unknown. He searched around the pond and couldn't find it.
Later, people in the village led a few hunting dogs to help them search. Who knew that as soon as the hunting dogs arrived at the pond, they all lay down on the ground, trembling all over, and refused to take another step forward, as if there was something there.
It makes them feel fear, and it is instinctive fear."
"What could be the thing that can make hunting dogs instinctively afraid?" Tang Yan asked curiously. Since Tang Yan's mother is a zoologist, Tang Yan has had a strong interest in wild animals since she was a child.
The third uncle took a sip of wine and replied: "Tiger, or leopard! The smell of urine left by these beasts will scare hunting dogs."
"Ah! Do you still have these ferocious beasts here?" The beast suddenly became excited when he heard that there were ferocious beasts.
"Of course, our village is at the foot of Shunhuang Mountain. Most of the Shunhuang Mountains are still primitive sub-forests. There are tigers, leopards, and bears deep in the mountains. However, hunting is not allowed now, and the shotguns have been confiscated.
Therefore, few people go into the mountains. No one has seen tigers for many years. Leopards were seen two years ago. They came to the village and dragged away the pigs fed by a family. But this time, two were missing.
An adult buffalo weighing hundreds of kilograms is not something a leopard can drag away."
"So, it must have been a tiger! Wild South China tiger? This is big news!" The third uncle's words made the animal even more excited. Since it's not a leopard, it's obvious that it's a tiger.
"Haha, many people in the village think so too, so now no one dares to go to the mountains to graze cattle alone. Every time they graze cattle, a few people make an appointment to go together. There are still a few young people in the village. I don't know where to get them.
They brought a camera and wandered around the mountain every day, saying that they wanted to take pictures of tigers, and that if they took such pictures, they would make a fortune. I really don’t know what they were doing.” The third uncle had obviously never heard of ‘Zhenglong takes pictures of tigers’.
event.
At this time, the beast also took out a SLR camera and said to the monkey: "Didn't you say you want to find something exciting to do? Taking pictures of tigers is exciting enough, and it is meaningful. How about we go to the mountains to find tigers and give them
Go take a close-up."
The monkey said: "Why are you so excited? There are no tigers. Now the wild South China tigers are extinct. Maybe this cow was stolen."
Yu Fei also smiled and said: "That's right! Besides, even if there is a tiger, you may not be able to encounter it. However, you have nothing to do anyway. The scenery of Shunhuang Mountain is quite good. How about Luo Zi tomorrow?
Take these two city boys to 'shoot the tiger'."
Luo Zi had a chicken leg stuffed in his mouth. He nodded his head and said vaguely: "No problem!"
The third uncle was a little confused when he heard this. What is wrong with the young people nowadays? Why are they all thinking about taking pictures of this tiger? They all regard this ferocious tiger as a sick cat.
