Chapter 25 Chapter 1 Lost in the Forest

Generally speaking, in Taoism, there are three types of inheritance for those who are capable. One is the Great School of Famous Mountains, the major Daoist sects in the Central Plains, Maoshan, Laoshan, Longhushan, Wudang, Zhengyijiao, Buddhist inheritance, Tibetan Buddhist monks and lamas, etc., are all in this category, and the inheritance continues, and the masters come forth in large numbers ; One is the master-apprentice transmission, this type is generally a strange person in the world, travels around, and when they see a seedling with good qualifications, they will be accepted as apprentices; the last type is family inheritance, connected by blood.

Miscellaneous Hair Xiaodao Xiao Keming belongs to the combination of the first and the last. He was originally a very good seedling, but due to some accidents, he wandered in the world. And his uncle belongs to the family inheritance.When he went to Baokang in western Hubei this time, he heard from his friends that there were some extremely rare medicinal herbs in the old forest there, and these few herbs had a miraculous effect on his old mother's illness, so he rushed there after the new year. Unexpectedly, not only did he fail to come back in time to treat the old lady, but he was folded in the mysterious forest without hearing from him.He is a dutiful son, but it is a pity that when the old lady left, she didn't see her for the last time.

Hearing this news, even the old man who had been silent all day was startled, and immediately held a family meeting. After some discussion, it was finally decided that Lao Xiao's third uncle, him and his cousin Zhou Lin would go to Baokang together to find his younger uncle.I had nothing to do, so I didn't know where to look for the "unicorn fetus". The old man of the Xiao family gave me the demon-binding formula, and he was kind to me, so he decided to go together. We couldn't wait for the next day, so we borrowed a car and headed to western Hubei overnight. When we set off, I took Duo Duo and Golden Silkworm Gu together, the tiger cat was very reluctant to part with him, and wanted to go together with his wings flapping.This flat-haired beast has always been served in Xiao's house with good food and drink, and few people take care of it. The old man thought about it, and with it taking care of him, the chances of finding his youngest son are much greater, so he nodded in agreement.The fat bird got into the carriage at once, found a place behind the back seat, curled up, and dozed off leisurely.

After saying goodbye to his family, Zamao Xiaodao and I sat in the back row and talked about Baokang in Western Hubei, and we couldn't help worrying. Many people may not be familiar with the place of Baokang in western Hubei, but when it comes to its neighbor - "Shennongjia", many people will suddenly realize that it is this place.Yes, it is the only well-preserved oasis in inland China and the only green treasure land in the middle latitudes of the world.It has the only intact subtropical forest ecosystem in the middle latitudes of the world today. The forest area is full of mountains, steep mountains, complex and diverse terrain, and there are many secrets and mysterious legends hidden in the dense forest.

I made a phone call to Boss Gu Xianxiong and asked him to help me find a kind of jade called "unicorn fetus". This thing is milky white and moist, untouched, born with a unicorn likeness, he is very embarrassed on the other side of the phone, asking if he has been looking for the ten-year soul-reviving grass?I said I would look for it, but the unicorn fetus is the most important. If there is any, please help me to pay attention.He said yes, he also has many friends in the jewelry and jade industry. Besides, Xuerui's father, Li Jiahu, is a jewelry manufacturer himself, so he can help inquire about it.I said I'm bothering you, and he murmured, saying that it's nothing serious, and then mentioned the distant relative I mentioned last time, saying that the haunting is very serious now, and it's not enough to hire several masters, can you show him?

I have something to ask him, and it is not easy to refuse. I just say that I am very busy now and I am going to Shennongjia. After hanging up the phone, Zamao Xiaodao asked me if I was a distant relative of your brother Gu's family? I just remembered that the last time Boss Gu approached me, I pushed it to him, and I didn’t know what happened after that, so I said yes, you didn’t go last time?Miscellaneous Xiaodao laughed, he said, do you know who your brother Gu's relative is?I shook my head and said I don't know, do I know him? He said he still remembers the female ghost that was saved when we met?It's the one in the red dress who jumped off the building!

When he said this, I really remembered, that female ghost really scared my soul out, and it was the first time in my life that I was scared to pee my pants.But in the end, there was nothing good. When the matter got serious, we cleaned it up. In the end, not only was it not rescued, but the spirit body was scattered by the miscellaneous hair path, and it disappeared. I questioned, saying that between them... Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao nodded, and said with a dark smile that the female ghost was the mistress of that distant relative of Lao Gu. The world is really too small, there are coincidences everywhere.

I sighed, saying that since the female ghost has been dispersed, who is haunting him?Miscellaneous Mao Xiaodao shrugged his shoulders, and said how did he know, maybe it was an evil soul, haunted by thoughts, and the person who had the disease was physically weak, and he might be entangled by something, who knows? There is still a person to be rescued in front of him, no one has the intention to involve an irrelevant person thousands of miles away, hurry up, close your eyes and rest. Along the way, we took turns to rest and drive, and soon came to Baokang County in western Hubei. We found the woman who made the call. She was Xiao Yingwu's donkey friend. She originally wanted to go up the mountain together, but she developed a high fever when she got here and couldn't move. She stayed in the hospital for a few days. The others went into the mountain the next day.As a result, three days in a row passed, and no one came back, so she was very worried, and all contact methods could not be reached, so she called the police and notified everyone's family and friends.

We were the first to arrive. Together we found the relevant local authorities and asked about this matter.They said that they have organized personnel to search and rescue, but so far, no traces have been found. To the west of Baokang is the Shennongjia forest area. There was nothing they could do about it. After talking for a long time, we could all feel that we were being fooled, so we came out, found that woman, and asked about the situation of the person who was traveling with Xiao Yingwu.She answered one by one, saying that besides Xiao Yingwu, there were four people, one was a local tour guide, and the other three were all donkey friends whom she met online in the same city and were interested in this place, so they came as soon as he called.

After studying the topographic map again, we decided to follow the plan and enter the mountain to find Lao Xiao, his uncle and the others. After making up our minds, we went to the county town to purchase the equipment for going into the mountains - hiking bags, hiking shoes, dry food, spiked flashlights, hunting knives and other tools, as well as some ropes, first aid kits and the like.That woman also wanted to go with us, but Lao Xiao and his third uncle refused, directly saying that a girl's family is a burden once she goes up the mountain, not only tiring herself, but also implicating others.

There were tears in the woman's eyes. We just ignored it, and hired a guide who was familiar with the Shennongjia forest area at a high price, and then set off in the early morning of the second day after arriving in Baokang. From the bustling city to the mountains and forests, listening to the clear birdsong on the tree branches, one's heart will be quiet all at once. Before going out, Zhou Lin used a tortoise shell to give us a divination for our trip, which showed that it was a great ominous event. Although he fiddled with it later and turned it into "auspicious", everyone's hearts were cast in a shadow.The guide in front was called Old Jiang. He didn't want to go out during the first month, but for the sake of "Grandpa Mao", he still picked up a hunting knife and led a ferocious native dog to lead us the way. Along the way, I have been used to walking on mountain roads since I was a child, and I didn't feel too uncomfortable. In the past eight years, I have stepped on many places in the motherland with iron feet. Only Zhou Lin, who usually looks at the vigor and vigor of dragons and tigers, is in high spirits. After walking more than 20 miles in the mountains and forests without realizing it, he was out of breath, leaning on a tree and saying that it was too late. Tired, take a break. As he spoke, he suddenly yelled, very shrill.We took a closer look and saw that the tree was full of small black ants, gnawing along the tree densely. He was busy complaining just now, but he didn't expect to provoke a lot of ants all of a sudden. He shook his hands vigorously, cursing the damn wood. I saw his hands were full of fine red marks and small bumps, and after a while, they became red and itchy, making him extremely uncomfortable.Lao Jiang immediately handed over a small bottle, which was soaked with green grass juice, saying that it was anti-bite, so he quickly applied it.In this mountain forest, try not to mess with these little things. They say they are not afraid of ferocious beasts, but bugs.Then he gave us an earthen plaster, which he said was for repelling snakes and insects. Zamao Xiaodao and my third uncle took it, but I waved my hand and said no. With the Golden Silkworm Gu, I really don't need this thing. The noisy fat parrot on the top of the head was fluttering. It was very excited to see these ants on the tree. It flew down to eat and croaked.With the guide as an outsider, it didn't talk much, and occasionally made a sound or two. The guide only thought the bird was smart.But it's like an ADHD child, flying around and having too much energy - I really don't know how it got this appetite.According to Miscellaneous Hair Xiaodao, it used to be a person, and after returning from the Nether House, it was entrusted to the body of a bird. Could it be that even its temperament and diet have changed? Also suffering from ADHD is the Golden Silkworm Gu. This fat insect is really like a fish entering the sea, a bird flying into the sky, like a starved ghost reincarnated. When it flies into the forest, it can always find some inexplicable insects from the corners to eat. , still leaning on the top of the tiger cat's forehead, sitting on a free plane.However, it was lazy after all. After eating and drinking enough, it avoided the guide again and shrank back into my body in a ghostly manner. Old Xiao and his younger uncles are used to making signs that only their own family members understand. The third uncle looked carefully along the way, and he could always find some traces that showed that Xiao Yingwu had been here.We followed the route map they planned before, and walked for more than 20 miles, until we stopped in front of a plant-covered ravine deep in the mountains and dense forests.Standing on the ridge, looking at the dense jungle and slabstones under his feet, the third uncle counted, and then smelled the afternoon breeze, and said that Ying Wu should be here. I looked at the dense green forest below, and a silver train passed by like a wash. It was a shallow stream.
