Hu Hongde knew that Ye Tian never told lies. Since he admired the black jade so much, he must have had secrets unknown to him, so he searched his mind seriously.
But after a long while, Hu Hongde still shook his head and said: "A place with such a thing must be extremely cold. Changbai Mountain is cool all year round. I really can't think of anywhere else except Black Dragon Pond.
jade?"
"Forget it, let's go to Black Dragon Pond first and see what we can gain?"
Ye Tian sighed. At first, the black dragon regarded him as a friend, so he gave him a piece of black jade the size of his little finger. It is conceivable that even the black dragon also regarded it as a treasure, and the quantity must not be large.
Hu Hongde nodded and said: "Okay, I'm ready. Let's go to the forest farm now and stay for a day and then go into the mountains tomorrow morning!"
After living in the capital and Hong Kong for a period of time, Hu Hongde has not returned to live in the mountains for more than half a year, so his carriage was also abandoned in the forest farm, and Hu Xiaoxian drove the two of them there.
"Master Hu, I haven't seen you for a while!"
After the car arrived at the forest farm, Field Manager Song came out to welcome him. When he saw Ye Tian getting out of the car, he couldn't help but was stunned for a moment and said with a smile: "A rare visitor, Xiaoye is a rare visitor!"
"Director Song, I have to trouble you again today!"
Ye Tian smiled and shook hands with Director Song, took out two boxes of wine from the trunk of the car, and said, "It's so cold today, I bought you some wine!"
"Oh, I said, you are here as soon as you come, why are you so polite?" Director Song smiled and took the wine and said: "I just like this. Lao Liu shot a wild boar yesterday, let's go tonight
Make a bonfire and barbecue!”
"Okay, I want to eat roasted leg of lamb!" Hu Xiaoxian shouted from the side. She grew up in this forest farm, and the people in the forest farm are like her elders.
"Okay, Xiaoxian wants to eat the leg of lamb, I'll go back and kill a sheep!" Director Song laughed heartily, and after inviting Ye Tian and others to sit down in the room, he turned around and went out to make arrangements.
Hu Hongde took a look at the sky before entering the house. Once inside, he took off his waistcoat and threw it to Ye Tian, saying, "Ye Tian, put on this fire fox leather waistcoat tomorrow, I'm afraid it's going to snow."
!”
"Can't you? It's almost five o'clock, and the sky is still bright. It can't snow, right?" Usually in December in the Northeast, it gets almost dark around four o'clock, but today the sky looks very dark.
good.
"This snow is not going to stop, you will know tomorrow!"
Hu Hongde shook his head, with some worry in his eyes. He knew that Ye Tian had been seriously injured not long ago and had no real energy in his body. He was afraid that it would be difficult to withstand the severe cold of dozens of degrees below zero in the mountains.
The arrival of Hu Hongde's grandson and Ye Tian made the forest farm lively. A grand bonfire dinner lasted until after 11 o'clock at night. Both Ye Tian and Hu Hongde drank a lot of wine.
"Lao Hu, you really have a crow's mouth!"
Early the next morning, when Ye Tianxiakang opened the door and raised the curtain, a cold wind mixed with snowflakes almost as big as a baby's palm hit Ye Tian's face head-on. The snow was so strong that it made him feel uncomfortable
Ye Tian couldn't even see clearly three meters in front of him.
"The snow fell a little late this year. It will probably snow for at least three to five days!"
Hu Hongde was smoking a pipe on the kang, and was shuddered by the cold wind blowing in when Ye Tian opened the door. He said to Ye Tian: "If the stone matter is not urgent, let's go into the mountain in half a month?
"
Hu Hongde himself was not afraid of anything, but he was worried about Ye Tian's health. With such heavy snow, it would be difficult for him to take care of Ye Tian after entering the mountain.
"It's okay, we just need to get to Black Dragon Pond."
Ye Tian shook his head. After practicing with the black jade, Ye Tian would look for the black jade whenever there was a slight possibility. You know, just a little bit of stone could save him several years of hard work.
"Well, anyway, it's very warm in the valley when we arrive at Black Dragon Pond." Hu Hongde nodded. After getting along with him for such a long time, he knew that once Ye Tian decided something, almost no one could change it.
"Master Hu, Xiaoye, with such heavy snow, you two should stay at the forest farm today."
While the two were talking, Director Song opened the thick curtain and walked in with a pot of hot soup and said: "Eat something hot first, and we will make lamb skeleton soup for lunch."
Hu Hongde glanced at Ye Tian and said: "Xiao Song, no, let's go up the mountain when we turn around. There was a trap set in the mountain, so I didn't watch it for a while!"
"Master Hu, are you still going up in such heavy snow?" Field Director Song was stunned for a moment after hearing this.
Hu Hongde smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just around my house, and I'm afraid the snow will collapse the house, so I have to remove the snow!"
"Okay, you two, please pay attention."
Director Song nodded and did not try to persuade him any further. Within a hundred miles of Changbai Mountain, no one knew Mr. Hu's name. To Hu Hongde, this mountain was no different from his back garden.
After drinking two bowls of hot porridge, Hu Hongde and Ye Tian rushed into the heavy snow. It had only been falling for a few hours, and the snow on the ground reached their knees.
Especially after going up the mountain, if you take one step forward, you will be pushed back two steps by the wind. Even though you are wrapped tightly, you can still feel the biting cold wind going straight into your skin.
The last time Ye Tian came, it only took the two of them more than half an hour to reach the wooden house in Hu Hongde Mountain, but this time it took them more than an hour.
"Ye Tian, are you okay? Can you do it?" After entering the house, Hu Hongde heated up the kang. This was just the beginning. After entering the old forest, the road would become increasingly difficult.
"No problem, Lao Hu, are you looking down on me too much?"
Ye Tian shook his head and took off the hat on his head. A stream of hot steam suddenly rose from the top of his head. At first glance, it looked like his hair was on fire.
This is because Ye Tian used his soul to seal the pores on his body along the way, so that the heat in his body would not be lost. Therefore, although he did not have true energy to protect his body, he could still hold on.
However, this method is quite depleting of the soul. Ye Tian estimates that he can only last for a day at most before resting. Fortunately, the spiritual energy in the mountain is strong, so he is not afraid of not being able to recover.
After resting in the wooden house for more than two hours, the two entered Changbai Mountain. Two long footprints were left on the white snow, but they were soon covered up by the heavy snow in the sky.
After entering the old forest, the wind became much lighter, which reduced a lot of resistance during the two people's journey. At night, they actually arrived at the place where they last picked the Resurrection Grass.
Hu Hongde knew this area well and took Ye Tian to a cave on the mountainside. He had stored firewood here and lit a bonfire at night. It was not very cold.
Without the true energy to protect his body, Ye Tianshi almost exhausted all his mental energy during the half-day journey. After eating something, he immediately sat cross-legged on the ground and started practicing the luck-refining technique.
The Yuan Shen released in front of Ye Tian also seemed to be so wilted. However, after Ye Tian activated his skills, the Yuan Shen was like a black hole, swallowing up all the surrounding wisps of heaven and earth energy.
"Exhausting all the mental power, the effect of cultivating the soul is actually much better?"
Early the next morning, when Ye Tian woke up from meditation, his energy was completely restored, and he found that his soul was even more condensed than before.
Hu Hongde was also amazed at Ye Tian's condition. Yesterday he was as tired as a dead dog when he meditated, but today he actually became more energetic.
The snow was lighter today, and the two of them were traveling much faster, especially after Ye Tian felt the benefits of depleting his mental energy to practice, he deliberately used up his own mental energy.
After stopping and stopping like this, the journey originally only took three days, but the two of them walked for five whole days and finally arrived at the old forest outside the Black Dragon Pond.
The forest here stretches for several miles, and it is the easiest place to get lost in the Changbai Mountains. If Hu Hongde hadn't taken him with him, it would be difficult for Ye Tian to find the Black Dragon Pond again.
Seeing Hu Hongde take out a bottle of wine from his backpack and walk to a birch tree, Ye Tian couldn't help but asked strangely: "Old Hu, what are you doing?"
"They were buried under this tree."
When he buried Meng Xiazi and others, in order to avoid being discovered by outsiders and causing trouble, Hu Hongde cremated the bodies of several people and buried them at the edge of the forest more than two miles away from the Black Dragon Pond. There was no monument, but it was
I made a mark on the tree next to me.
"Blind man, you and I have been at odds with each other for the rest of our lives. If you die, I will offer you a bottle of wine, Old Hu!" Hu Hongde unscrewed the cap of the bottle and poured the entire bottle of wine on the ground.
"It's your own fault and you won't live!"
Thinking about what happened in the woods a few years ago, Ye Tian shook his head slightly, stepped forward and patted Hu Hongde on the shoulder, saying: "He deserves it, don't think so much, let's go see Hei for lunch on the hour."
Jiao.”
"I'm not going in. I'll wait for you at the mouth of the valley later!"
Hu Hongde couldn't help but shudder when he heard this. The monster's eyes were indifferent and emotionless. Hu Hongde didn't want to face that guy.
"It's your neighbor. It's always good to have a good relationship!"
Ye Tian laughed when he heard the words, and when he was about to open his backpack and light a fire to cook, a long whistle suddenly came from his ears.
"It's the black dragon. Does it know I'm coming?"
Ye Tian heard this clearly, it was the roar of the black dragon, but then his expression changed, because the roar was actually mixed with painful roars, and there seemed to be endless anger.
"No, something happened!" Ye Tian reached out and took out the Sanqing Bell from his backpack, and ran straight to the place where the whistling sound came from.
"Ye Tian, that guy is the overlord in this mountain, who can do anything to him?"
Seeing the sudden change in Ye Tian's expression, Hu Hongde followed helplessly. As he ran, he took off the old 56 submachine gun from his shoulder and loaded the bullet into the chamber.
