"I don't know how many rock formation cracks there are like this. We can't be so reckless anymore. Let the big team behind us stop where we are."
Yue Guanchao waved his hand, and the team following him stopped first, and then the team in the forest seemed to be dormant snakes, showing no signs of activity at all.
The strong men who patrolled the mountain were all good players in the mountains and forests. Naturally they knew that there was an accident ahead, so they held their breath and stopped moving.
"If we can find the rock gaps and avoid them in advance, we can safely enter and exit the forest. But how to determine the rock gaps in advance may be difficult to do at the moment."
Song Siyuan lowered her head and squatted on the ground, tapping the roots of the dwarf trees with bamboo joints. As long as no heat mist was emitted, they were just like ordinary tree holes, and it was difficult to tell the difference.
Mr. Cat picked up the compass and saw that there were towering wild forests all over the mountains and plains. The role of the compass was limited to pointing the direction. He rubbed his waist and sighed:
"Then this is troublesome. This forest is estimated to be half the size of Tianchi Lake. It covers hundreds of acres and has no roads. How can we distinguish the gaps in the rock formations in such a large area!"
Yue Guanchao picked up the telescope and looked in four directions. Except for the green pines and pines, he could see almost nothing. Even the animals had disappeared because of the heat haze.
"This is troublesome. We can't retreat now, and we can't advance. We are like headless flies."
Yue Erpao sat down on the ground. Thinking of the hot mist in the soil, and fearing that his buttocks would be cooked, he suddenly stood up in shock, frightening everyone to be alert.
Song Siyuan has been thinking about Yue Guanchao's words since just now. When she saw Yue Erpao struggling violently a few times, she seemed to realize something, and her eyes brightened: "Yue Guanchao, we can't identify the gaps in the rock formations because we are new to this place and we are not familiar with it. If Is there anyone familiar with the terrain?”
Having said this, Mr. Cat stood up and said, "Brother Yu!"
Song Siyuan nodded in approval of Master Mao’s guess:
"Yes, we didn't find any mushrooms along the way. This means that the mushrooms must grow in deeper forests. Judging from Yu Bo's relaxed tone, I think he has been through those deep mountains several times, so why not invite him here."
Yue Guanchao slapped the back of his head hard, his heart dropped, and he finally grinned and said:
"Yes, we were only focused on finding the way and forgot about Yu Bo's living map. I will send a message to Yu Bo immediately and ask him to come over."
With the sky accompanying him, it was not difficult to send a message. Yue Guanchao summoned the white eagle and sent his message into the bamboo tube.
They had stretched their team when they came, and they didn't walk very fast. They didn't reach the peak until close to noon. However, Lao Yu didn't need to coordinate with others. He had no worries on his own, but he had already reached Zhipan in two hours. .
Although Old Man Yu knew that Chaojia would patrol the mountains, he had never said hello to these strong men. Seeing them entrenching themselves like snakes and dragons outside Zhipan, he was so frightened that he even stood aside while walking.
"Yu Bo~"
Yue Guanchao knew that although Old Yu had a chivalrous heart, he was afraid of causing trouble. When he saw the old man coming, he greeted him with fists in his arms:
"We've been waiting for you for a long time, but we've encountered a big problem."
"Is this? I thought you guys went down the mountain. What do you want to do with this formation?"
Yu Bo looked at Yue Guanchao with suspicious eyes, and for those who didn't know, he thought they were thieves.
"That's not true, we are not thieves, we are just here to steal the tomb of Emperor Haidong!"
Yue Guanchao didn't mention this problem before because he was afraid that Yu Bo was not in the same camp as them. Now that Yu Bo knew who the so-called Haidong Shenghuang was, he would naturally not quarrel with everyone over robbing his tomb.
After hearing this, Old Man Yu was really shocked. He already knew that Yue Guanchao's identity was not simple, but he didn't think about the tomb robbery.
In his opinion, most of the tomb robbers were people with crooked eyebrows and black eyes, and they would never be young men with handsome features.
"Later... the tomb of Haidong Shenghuang is not easy to rob. The underground cave is so evil. You don't know how dangerous it is when you get to the tomb. Have you thought about it?"
Yue Guanchao cupped his hands and nodded, with a slightly serious look on his face: "I have to do this because I have been entrusted by others."
Old Man Yu secretly glanced at these dozens of strong men, and instantly knew what was going on. He approached him with twinkling eyes and said:
"Well, I don't have any other skills. I often pick mushrooms in this Zhipan Dianzi. Practice makes perfect and I can find a way to do it!"
"It all depends on Yu Boxiang's help. We are also worried about how to find the way."
After Yue Guanchao returned the favor, he led Old Man Yu to the front of the line. Seeing Master Mao in such a mess, he knew that someone had been attacked by the heat mist.
Without saying much, Old Man Yu opened the covered bamboo basket behind him, took out a jar of something from it, and said while untying it:
"In the past ten years, I have picked mushrooms many times in Zhipandianzi, and I have also encountered many hot and foggy times. The nearby villagers said that these are the nostrils of Master Jiaolong, and they will scald whoever comes in. No one comes here to bring bad luck.”
"If they don't come, the little old man will have to come. When he was young, his bones and blood were soaked by the river water, and he needs Tianbao goblin to nourish his body. After thinking about it, this evergreen place in Zhipandianzi is considered auspicious, and the mushrooms that grow must be Ganoderma lucidum is a wonderful vine, so I often go to the mushroom tray to pick mushrooms.”
"Ever since the ancient mushrooms came out of the mountains, I had no choice but to go deep into the mountains to pick larger ones. In the past few years, I was often burned by Jiaolongye's heat. But then I thought of a clever trick and I never got burned by the heat again. Pass."
After finishing speaking, the old man Yu opened the lid of the clay pot, and everyone stretched out their heads to take a closer look. Inside was yellow coarse salt with a mess of earth and rocks!
"Kosher salt?"
Yue Guanchao's face was confused. He put his finger into the jar and licked it on his tongue. It was indeed coarse salt with lumps of earth and rocks. It tasted bitter and fishy and salty, making it difficult to swallow.
"Can this thing help us find our way?"
Song Siyuan looked at the old man and thought he had a mental problem.
Yu Bo put down the clay pot and talked about the secret inside:
"Girl, although we are pinched by Empress Nuwa, just because we have gained etiquette and shame, we have also lost our bestiality. Many of the abilities possessed by animals have been severely degraded."
"It's like following the sound to identify the location, smelling the fragrance and looking for the taste, listening to the ground to find the trace. If you don't practice with a master, you will never be able to pick it up."
He held up the clay pot and grabbed a handful like a treasure:
"Although we don't want to eat this coarse salt, it is a good thing in the eyes of some livestock. There is a kind of mountain sheep in Zhipandianzi. They like to eat grass with a salty taste. Moreover, after they have been in Zhipandianzi for a long time, they actually I know how to avoid the dragon's stun, so I always sprinkle the salted water on the leaves."
"When the sheep smell the smell, they will find it themselves. They come in groups from the mountains. This road is guaranteed to be free of dragons!"
"Just wait and prepare some clean water for me."
Yue Guanchao took the earthen jar handed over by the young man and poured half of the clean water from the water bag into the mouth of the jar. Old Man Yu grabbed a large handful of salt and mixed it with his hands. He took a broom wet with water and began to sweep around. Sprinkle water.
A fishy and salty smell filled the surroundings, pouring into the nose and not being able to dissipate.
"Yu Bo, what kind of salt is this? It tastes so strong!"
Yue Erpao couldn't stand the smell and hurriedly covered his nose with a scarf.
When Old Man Yu sprinkled water, he introduced the origin of river salt to everyone:
"This is river salt, which is made from the mud in the Tongtian River. Every year I fish out the mud from the river. The precipitated mud is dried in the sun, and then the soil is broken and sifted, and the large salt becomes ”
