Chapter 269: There is a bright lake like a mirror in Wanren Mountain
The Buddha-faced Arhat cat is one of the four famous exotic cats on the cat list. This cat is born with a splendid pattern. It looks stupid and naive, with a long tail and short paws. It has a huge face and a large forehead.
He was born with the character of "Feng". He was born with the temperament of a Buddha, with golden ears, a jade girl's waist, and an immortal's back. Although he is tame, he is not a mute cat that can't bark. Foolish people know that if they think this cat is a hindrance to the owner, it will bring disaster.
Tai Sui, the qi-consuming Crane God, always brings disasters wherever he goes.
In fact, this is not the case. It is recorded in the cat genealogy that Luohan cats can see signs of ominous signs, and the words they speak will indicate bad luck.
Xu Sanxiao once said that if the cat opens its mouth, it means something big will happen. I have had this cat for several years, but Mi Li'er has never forgotten Xu Sanxiao's words. This morning while talking to Mi Hua, suddenly
Hearing a cat meow, the loud sound was very different from the meows he usually hears. Following the sound, he saw that it was the Arhat cat standing in the courtyard looking at the mountain and meowing. Mi Lier suddenly remembered Xu Sanxiao's words and hurried to report the news.
.
Arhat cats are silent easily, and if they speak, something big is bound to happen. The cat records in the Beast Taming Book are the summaries of the great warlocks of the past dynasties, and they are definitely not nonsense. Xu Sanxiao paid great attention to it, and stood up and said to Huo Pingchao: "
This arhat cat is a strange cat raised by Mr. Su's youngest daughter. It is silent easily and can predict bad omens when it makes noises. After raising it for more than four years, it finally made a noise. I would rather believe that this kind of thing exists, just in case.
, I’ll go over and take a look.”
Huo Pingchao was very interested. He picked up his clothes and said as he walked: "If you don't think I am in the way, let me follow you and learn more." [
Widow Mi's house is no longer what it used to be. It has a green hall with tiled roofs and houses built on all sides, which is quite impressive. Now Huxiao Villa has been sold, and the main business of the tourism company is in Xiema Town. However, because a health master said that Huxiao
Xiaocun was suitable for Mihua to recuperate, so Su Lina never moved.
Xu Sanxiao walked through the hall and saw the Buddha-faced Arhat cat squatting on the roof of the north house, looking at Nanshan and barking non-stop. No matter how the rice flower called in the yard, he ignored it. Xu Sanxiao thought in his heart
As soon as he moved, he went up to the room in threes and twos. Looking in the direction where the Arhat Cat was facing, he saw the vast edge of the majestic Danan Mountain, connected with the sky, surrounded by clouds and mist.
The cool moisture is very comfortable on the face.
Xu Sanxiao watched for a long time, not knowing why. Full of suspicion, he walked over and picked up the Arhat cat and jumped down from the room. He handed the cat to Mihua and comforted him a few words.
Huo Pingchao came over and asked, "This cat looks special. Its meowing is so loud that it can be heard from a long distance."
Xu Sanxiao had a deep expression on his face. He stood on the flat dam at the entrance of the village and looked to the south. He said: "The things passed down by our ancestors must have happened for a reason. Although there are no clues now, it does not mean that there will be nothing in the future. The Arhat cat looked at Nanshan and barked,
I decided to go into the mountains and have a look."
Huo Pingchao asked curiously: "What's in the south?"
Xu San smiled and said: "That is the source of the Maming River and the Huanglong River. These two rivers converged in Nanshan City and were renamed Lingjiang after flowing into Mianzhou. They are the most important water conservancy resources in Shannan. It is recorded in detail in the cat genealogy that Luohan Cat
The cry must be related to natural and man-made disasters. Either flying demons descend into the world and cause severe droughts, or Lingxi Water floods. Although the rumors cannot be completely believed, it is best to be prepared. I have to go and take a look before I can rest assured."
Huo Pingchao asked: "How long will it take to go there?"
Xu Sanxiao looked solemn and said: "I have been to the source of the Huanglong River. There were no unexpected incidents along the way. If it is quick, I will be back in three days, but anything can happen deep in the mountains. I don't know how long it will take."
Huo Pingchao's eyes lit up and he said, "That sounds like a lot of experience. Do you think it would be convenient for you to take me there too?"
Xu Sanxiao did not speak, but turned his attention to the winding mountain road in the distance. A black Cadillac commercial vehicle was driving towards the village and said: "The person Mr. Huo wants to escape has arrived. He will enter the village in twenty minutes at most.
We need to prepare some things if we want to go, and I'm afraid it's too late to leave now."
Huo Pingchao followed Xu Sanxiao's gaze and saw nothing but a cloud covering the fog. But he regarded Xu Sanxiao as a semi-immortal and had always believed in Xu Sanxiao's words without hesitation.
asked: "Can you please tell me what we need to prepare? Let's set off into the mountains first, and I'll turn around and ask the helicopter to bring us in."
Xu Sanxiao perked up and asked, "Can you call in a helicopter?"
Huo Pingchao nodded and said: "Of course, private, on call!"
Xu Sanxiao walked towards the sky and said: "What is the maximum range of your thing? I mean bring more fuel to ensure that you have enough to return home. How far can it fly? There are too many mountains on this trip.
Yeah, I heard that thing can't fly too high."
Huo Pingchao followed, shook his head, and said, "I can't say for sure. I have to ask the pilot."
Xu San smiled and said: "For the sake of the helicopter, I'll count you as one. Let's leave now. With that thing, we'll try to get back within half a day."
The data given by the pilot were quite satisfactory. Huo Pingchao's Mai-17 helicopter was parked in Shannan at the moment. With two additional auxiliary fuel tanks, the range could reach more than 1,100 kilometers. Xu Sanxiao's destination was not far away in a straight line.
It's more than 100 kilometers. Even if the aircraft's climbing height is limited and the mountainous conditions are complicated, it can only fly along the river valley. The distance from Shannan to there is only about 300 kilometers. The round trip is less than 700, so there is still plenty to spare.
Xu Sanxiao said she wanted to go, changed into hunting clothes suitable for walking in the mountains, took He Wenyu with her and set off. The reason why she took He Xiaomei with her was that Xu Sanxiao was worried that someone would do something bad to her while she was away.
Secondly, He Xiaomei’s memory is gone, but her kung fu has not been lost. I took her with me just in case.[
Even though Huo Pingchao was usually too lazy to climb mountains, the climbing clothes prepared by his secretary were all professional and top-notch, so it was quite easy to follow him.
In order to avoid the Cadillac commercial vehicle, the three people did not take the main road and went directly into the mountain. Huo Pingchao specially brought a portable GPS satellite positioning device to facilitate the helicopter to find them. This guy's idea is quite simple. You will not know until you go into the mountain.
easy.
When walking through the ancient wood wolf forest, you have to be careful when your feet sink into the humus formed by fallen leaves. You are often caught by branches while walking. From time to time, you can see big snakes as thick as human arms crossing the road. They suddenly appear and scare people. It is really scary.
.The first time Huo Pingchao left, it was really miserable.
The trees in the old forest were too tall, almost blocking out the sun, and the light under the trees was relatively low, making it feel very eerie. Huo Pingchao was on the verge of collapse before he had gone very far. He saw Xu Sanxiao and He Wenyu walking in simple clothes.
, holding hands, talking and laughing. He became even more angry and shouted: "No, don't leave. I won't leave at all. Let's stay here and wait for help."
Xu Sanxiao looked around and said, "Do you think the helicopter can see us hiding in this old forest in the sky?" He walked over and took Huo Pingchao's backpack and said, "Don't talk nonsense, follow us!"
Huo Pingchao managed to follow and walked for a while, and finally heard the sound of horses neighing and rushing in the river valley. He suddenly smiled and said: "We have arrived at the right place. This river really deserves to be called Mamingjiang. The sound is the same as Mamingjiang."
Xu Sanxiao looked back and said: "Huxiao Village itself is built in the mountains, so it is already an official human area. There may be any kind of wild beasts in the old forest. If you scream like this, be careful that some powerful things will be attracted to eat you.
.”
Huo Pingchao said nonchalantly: "Don't scare me. With a mountain god like you here, what animal dares to come out and make trouble on Tai Sui's head?"
Xu San smiled and said: "This mountain has been formed for hundreds of millions of years. There may be some rare and exotic animals in the inaccessible areas of the old forest. Since liberation, the relevant departments have organized many scientific expeditions, but each time they failed to go deep into what we want."
The area I went to, I’m not trying to scare you, the Danan Mountains are full of spiritual energy and can support both humans and animals. According to legend, there are many spiritual beasts who have understood the natural changes of the universe here, gradually cultivated the climate, and mastered some
Our special ability may not be able to be achieved based on the conduct of the two of us."
When Huo Pingchao heard this, he was indeed a little scared and said: "By the way, you said before that when the arhat cat barks, it may be a disaster coming from the sky. What happened to the flying demon coming to the world and the spirit coming out of the water?"
Xu Sanxiao took out the GPS locator from Huo Ping's bag, found the coordinates, climbed to the top of a towering tree, took out his cell phone and took a look, and finally got a signal. He immediately called the helicopter and sent the coordinates
He told the pilot. Then he slowly came down from the tree, found a big rock, settled down on He Wenyu and made himself comfortable. Finally, he slowly told Huo Pingchao what the Feibao and Lingxi were.
The former is the famous Drought Demon, which is the penultimate stage of zombie evolution. No need for Xu Sanxiao to introduce it, Huo Pingchao knew it as soon as he heard this name.
The key point is Lingxi. The ancient book "Nan Yue Zhi" collected by Zhou Zhirou records that in ancient times there was a strange beast called Shuishui Lingxi.
, can separate waterways and travel across the sea on flat land. Du Fu once wrote a poem to praise this animal for helping Li Bing control the water. "When you don't see the prefect of Shu during the Qin Dynasty, he carved stones and erected five rhinos." The water-controlling rhino here refers to this beast.
Legend has it that this ancient strange beast likes to live deep in the water eyes on land to practice. It hides under thousands of feet of water and often remains motionless for hundreds of years. It does not need to breathe or eat. Only it feels the need to absorb
It will only surface when the sun shines and the moon shines, and it will occasionally be seen by people. The emergence of water means that the water holes hidden deep in the bottom of the pool leak out, and the entire area will have heavy water vapor, continuous heavy rain, and flooding.
This ancient strange beast has a bad temper and usually does not allow humans to approach it, but for some reason, it is not disgusted with beautiful women. It is said that in the 79th chapter of Yue Quan's Biography, a tiger rides on the back of a dragon, and its energy is so powerful that it makes Niu Gao laugh to death.
In that chapter, a Taoist nun was mentioned. She rode this kind of animal, held a pair of iron knives in her hands, and was very good at using magic. She must have been a beauty when she was young, so she coaxed this kind of strange beast into her.
follow.
Xu Sanxiao was very eloquent and brought the origin rumors of this animal to life. Huo Pingchao was very interested and said: "According to what you said, the strange people and psychic beasts in the fairy tales and strange stories all existed in the past.
Passed?"
Xu San smiled and said: "The so-called human civilization is no more than ten thousand years old. The theory of evolution says that it took millions of years for humans to evolve from monkeys to humans. What I don't understand is that for millions of years, humans have made no progress by eating hair and drinking blood, but it only took one day.
It has evolved to this level in less than ten thousand years. Do you think this is reliable? It is said in Tanzi Huasheng that both humans and animals have the opportunity to understand the way of nature and evolve in their lifetime. This is
The origin of spiritual practice is that wild beasts also have wisdom. After living for a long time, they can observe natural changes, master some unknown natural physical phenomena, and gradually evolve some abilities that humans do not have. There is nothing good about this."
Huo Pingchao was convinced and said regretfully: "It's a pity that I didn't know how to control myself when I was young. I lost my vitality and am no longer suitable for practicing Taoism."
These words were actually told to him by Xu Sanxiao, mainly because he was afraid of being pestered by him to learn Taoism.
As he was talking, the helicopter arrived. After descending to a certain height, the ladder was put down and the three of them climbed onto the helicopter. Xu Sanxiao pointed to the flowing river valley below and said: "Go southwest along the river valley, about
More than two hundred kilometers, the destination is a glacier lake in the snowy mountains."
The helicopter flew for more than two hundred kilometers along the winding river valley. What suddenly flashed in front of us was a large undulating snow-capped mountain. Surrounded by the mountains, there was a lake as bright as a mirror. The surface of the lake was frozen, and in the lake
On the hillside below, there is a majestic ice waterfall. The colder water gurgls down from the ice waterfall and gathers in the river valley, gradually forming a surging water flow. The rapids raise water mist all over the sky, hanging on the green pines and cypresses on the shore.
, forming snow-white rime.
It is late autumn, and the yellow leaves are flying on the towering trees on both sides of the river valley. The sun shines on the river, and the entire river valley is dyed golden. At the foot of the ice waterfall, it becomes a world covered in silver again. This scene is really beautiful.
Huo Pingchao excitedly took out his camera to take pictures. He Wenyu was in awe of it, praising its beauty and shouting that he wanted to go down immediately.[
Xu Sanxiao looked at the situation below and frowned slightly. The amount of water here was much larger than when he came a few years ago.
The best flat spot in the entire area for parking a helicopter is the surface of the glacial lake. That's exactly what the pilot had in mind.
Xu Sanxiao said, "For safety reasons, I'd better go down first to see if the ice can bear the weight of the helicopter."
The pilot was a little disapproving, "This glacial lake is located in a high-altitude area. It has been formed for who knows how many years. The surface of the lake will never change. It is estimated that heavy trucks will have no problem driving on it."
Huo Pingchao said with a straight face: "Stop talking nonsense, just do what Mr. Xu says!"
Xu San smiled and said: "In geology, almost all mountain lakes formed by ridges around them are formed by volcanic eruptions. I have been here before, so I know that some places on the ice are indeed not very strong. People and animals can walk together.
No problem, a helicopter with such a heavy weight would be too much trouble. We’d better get people down from here first and park the helicopter on the river beach. If something really happens, the helicopter can come up to pick people up.”
Huo Pingchao said: "Let's do it like this, but before we go down, I still have to ask, are we really looking for that person who can avoid water and have telepathy?"
