Mountain and Sea Treasures

Chapter 286

Miss Qiu shook the snow on her coat: "Isn't it the same for people like us who celebrate the New Year? Stop talking nonsense and hurry up. It's freezing cold, and I don't want to go camping at night."

"You're the only one who has a lot of things to do." Lao Yan gave her a sideways look.

Miss Qiu stared back, the two of them didn't know what kind of communication they had, but they asked me in unison, what do you think about tomorrow's New Year's Eve?
I looked at the trees everywhere, and said with a smile: "Bake a pheasant and roast it, and I'm still thinking about the kombu's craftsmanship."

"Yes." Originally, I thought that Kumbu would be too lazy to talk to us, but I didn't expect him to readily agree.

Liu Hanqiu on the side told us that our eyes are not eyes, and our nose is not nose. He said that we should find the Nine-story Pagoda before talking about Chinese New Year.

We all ignored him, his up and down attitude was no longer important to us.

Lao Yan touched a map from nowhere, on which was the rough outline of Mount Jiuhua, he pointed to a place surrounded by mountains and said: "This should be where we are! It's not a deep mountain, at best it's Even if you have just entered the mountain area, it is estimated that you are still far away from the Nine-story Pagoda."

"It's hard to say. No one can tell what happened when Jin Qiaojue was practicing in Jiuhua Mountain. I think the location of the Nine-story Pagoda must be very unexpected. It may not be hidden in the deepest place. Just found out, and it won't become a mystery..." Miss Qiu said in disapproval.

I think what Ms. Qiu said is reasonable. If you really followed the rules, you wouldn't come here until now. The reason why you can't find it must be something that doesn't follow the rules.

Lao Yan rubbed his chin: "Let's go first, anyway, it's impossible to be on the periphery. Over the years, the periphery has been developed almost. If it was on the periphery, it would have been dug out long ago. The general law will not change, especially Buddhism. , Their insistence on the funeral ceremony system is beyond our imagination, and there must be other reasons why they cannot be found."

There is some truth in what he said, whether it is buried in the deep mountains or not, it will not be on the periphery anyway, so we still have to go deeper!

The winter forest is full of chills, walking in it even if nothing happened, I feel creepy. This feeling reached its peak when I tried to ask Old Yan Si where she went for the third time, but he gave me a vague answer.

To be honest, I don't believe that Lao Yan and Fourth Miss had discussed it in advance. The disappearance of Fourth Miss was so strange that no one felt it. Lao Yan's shock at that time was definitely not fake!Definitely not as confusing Liu Hanqiu as he said.

What I believe more is that the reason why Lao Yan said this is to stabilize the morale of the army. If everyone knows that the fourth girl disappeared for no reason, then the situation will inevitably be chaotic.

So after being perfunctory by him three times, I stopped asking, because I knew in my heart that Lao Yan was just trying to hold on.

We walked in the bleak woods, and every step was extremely difficult. Even a person like Kumbu who never changed his face had a slight bitter look on his face, which shows how difficult this road is!

Everyone put their energies on their feet, and the whole team was surprisingly harmonious. No one had time to make trouble for anyone, and only occasionally exchanged a few words when they rested and filled their stomachs.

Originally, I was delayed in the ruined temple for a long time, and it was almost noon when I set off, so it didn't take long for me to leave before it got dark.

"What the hell weather, it's only past three o'clock." Miss Qiu complained, her shoes were soaked through, and she was currently wiping them with a cloth, very dissatisfied with the weather.

Lao Yan snorted: "Who told you to wear a pair of woolen tops, you don't know what kind of virtue is in the mountains in winter?"

Miss Qiu ignored Lao Yan, sucked up the moisture from the shoes and put them on again, looked up at the dark sky and asked worriedly: "Will there be a snowstorm?"

"What are you afraid of? No matter how severe the blizzard in the south is, it won't be a climate." Yazai rubbed his hands, and then slapped himself: "But don't tell me, how can the south be colder than the north? I'm in Beijing It's never been this cold."

Lao Yan laughed: "The south is damp and cold, and the air-conditioning directly penetrates into the bones, can it not be cold?"

Liu Hanqiu and the others huddled together in the cold, they had no experience in moving in the deep mountains, and neither of them brought much clothes, just simple sweaters and coats, and the military coats they wore were from when they went to Mount Jiuhua Made it to pretend to be a tourist.

But thanks to this military overcoat, otherwise they would have been frozen into ice sculptures long ago.

"Old, old smoke..." Liu Hanqiu's teeth chattered: "When will we be able to go to the resting place?"

Lao Yan squinted at him: "How do I know, it's my first time to visit Mount Jiuhua, and it's been eight lifetimes of good luck to find that temple yesterday. Today...maybe I'll go camping."

As soon as the word camping came out, everyone's faces were as ugly as seeing a ghost. Everyone knew what it meant to camp in the forest in the middle of winter.Not only the cold, but also wild beasts. Although most wild beasts choose to hibernate in winter, there are also some that come out to look for prey because of insufficient food reserves. Generally, most of the wild beasts that come out in this season are very difficult to deal with.

Liu Hanqiu suddenly became unhappy: "How can this be camping?"

"Why not?" Lao Yan said with a rascal expression: "We in 701 are all rough-skinned and thick-skinned, so we don't care about the coldness. If you feel cold, you can go back the same way."

Liu Hanqiu stopped talking, and every time Lao Yan chased him back, he would put away all his emotions, so that people couldn't see what he was thinking.

I am very concerned about him, because his behavior along the way is really not like that ruthless superior, but more like a mindless leader. He can only suppress his emotions by giving him occasional hints from Changkong, otherwise it will be like It's a poor second kicker, and it hits at one point.

"It's getting dark, and I really can't find a place to spend the night tonight. If we go further, we need to find an open place." Lao Yan didn't intend to scare Liu Hanqiu. It's a normal situation. It would be a strange thing to find a temple like last night every day.

We took a short rest, ate something and waited for the body temperature to recover a bit before continuing to walk forward.

It's more than three o'clock in the afternoon, and we have to find a place to live by five o'clock at the latest.Because I can still see some roads now, after five o'clock, the forest will be completely dark, and I can't see anything at that time, and the danger level will be greatly increased if I walk in such a dark night with the light of the flashlight!
