I have nine dragons

The Secret of Beishan in Chapter 8
"Isn't it?"

Hearing her threaten him like this, the man was extremely reluctant, opened his mouth to say something but knew he was powerless to resist, so he could only nod with a wry smile.

. . . . . .

Zhongbei Mountain is famous far and wide, and its reputation spreads far and wide.

Although Wu Di had never been to that place, he thought he knew it well.

It is said that there are always some people who suddenly get tired of their own life and don’t want to be submerged in the sea of ​​people anymore. They will go to Zhongbei Mountain, call themselves hermits, live in seclusion in the mountains, forget all kinds of mundane worlds, and live alone according to their own Mind to spend the rest of my life.

This is just the secular understanding of Zhongbeishan, and it is also the truth that Wu Di once thought.

So people in the world never bother Zhongbei Mountain, or these people who hide from the world, and it is always very quiet here.

But when he got here, he discovered that the situation in Zhongbeishan was completely beyond his imagination.

He has only been here for a few days, and he has witnessed all kinds of strange things.

Wu Di discovered that although these so-called hermits seem to have nothing to do all day long, they each have a fixed range of activities and almost never cross the boundaries.

It looks like they are walking casually, but they are actually highly vigilant, their eyes search everywhere like radar, and they check very carefully. No matter how you look at it, they should be patrolling.

Their actions are very secretive.If Wu Di hadn't observed carefully for a few days, he would never have seen the mystery.

From an outsider's perspective, everyone there is alone and wandering leisurely.But in fact, the range of each person's walk is just bordering the range of the other person.

When walking, if two people happen to meet each other, they have never greeted each other, but deliberately avoided them nervously and left quickly.

This was the first strange thing, and within a few days Wu Di discovered another strange thing.

That day he was lazily basking in the sun under the eaves, in the courtyard of an ordinary hermit.

He chose to turn into a tit, after all, in this mountain, a cat is unlikely to appear here.

So most of the time in Zhongbei Mountain, he either turned into grass, or turned into a tree, or turned into some common birds and beasts in the mountains to observe everything here.

The owner of this house is just a sassy young man at his age, logically speaking, he shouldn't have seen through the world so early, but he came to Zhongbei Mountain at this young age to become a hermit. .

After looking around to make sure there was no one there, he clenched his five fingers into a fist and suddenly stretched out his second finger, causing the stove without any firewood to ignite in an instant. He used the fire to cook some simple meals and ate them. .

Wu Di was not surprised, he just looked up lazily, then turned his head away again, lying in the warm bird's nest and dozing off.

Although the people here deliberately conceal it, Wu Di can clearly feel that there is a special energy in them.

This kind of energy is much stronger than the opponents he has encountered before. Even Zhao Wen, who is considered the best among human beings in terms of physical fitness and combat effectiveness, is not in the same order of magnitude as them.

Wu Di couldn't be sure if these people were the spirit bearers that the strange man said, and whether the power in them was the so-called spiritual power.

We don't understand, and we dare not ask!
Anyway, he had never seen it before.

These hermits sometimes secretly cast some magic spells when no one is around, sometimes they can walk like flying in the trees, sometimes they seem to be able to control things with their minds, and some can easily light fire and drive water away.

Suddenly, the drowsy Wu Di woke up suddenly, and he heard a special voice.

This sound is inaudible to the human ear.
But Wu Di has devoured various creatures and has the characteristics of all creatures, so sounds of various frequencies can be heard now.

Apparently the boy who was eating could hear it too.He suddenly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand, stood up, held his breath, and listened carefully for a moment,
Then he walked quickly outside the house, walked to the water tank in the corner of the courtyard, and looked at it carefully.

There must be a mystery in the tank, Wu Di spread his wings and pretended to be startled by the young man, taking advantage of the opportunity of circling in the air, he also looked towards the water tank, with eagle eyes, he could see even though he was so tall and so far away Clearly.

There are indeed ghosts!

The water in the tank was full, and with this sound, it stirred up layers of water ripples.

But different from ordinary ring-shaped water ripples, the water ripples in this tank are a group of special lines juxtaposed on the water surface, which can never be formed naturally.

No matter how you look at it, it seems to be using a special code to convey some kind of information, only to see that the water ripples are constantly dispersing, overlapping, and overlapping rapidly.

Wu Di suddenly remembered that each of these hermits had such a water tank,
It's just that in this kind of place without running water, this kind of essential thing at home didn't attract Wu Di's attention at first.

Only now did Wu Di suddenly realize that this thing is probably not as simple as storing water for drinking, it is entirely possible that it is a tool for transmitting signals,

So many weird things made Wu Di sure that these people are by no means shy people who see through the world of mortals.

They should be carrying some kind of mission. Although they don't know who is under their command, they are definitely not as disorganized and free-spirited as the illusions they deliberately convey to the outside world.

The boy stood in front of the water tank for a long time, then went straight back to the bed, lay down and fell asleep, he seemed to have forgotten that he was eating just now, and the meal was thrown on the table after half eating.

Standing on the branch of an old tree in the yard, Wu Di saw all this through the window lattice, and immediately understood that it was probably because he had something important to do at night, so he should start to catch up on sleep now.

"Very well, it seems that a bigger secret will be discovered tonight!"

Wu Di was gearing up and couldn't wait any longer. After staying in this mountain for so long, he didn't have any clue about the answer he was looking for. He already felt a little bored.

Wu Di decided not to go anywhere, and simply slept in the branches to get enough energy to meet the main event of the night.

At sunset, the twilight came from the distant mountains, and the boy really woke up.

He went out of the room and looked around to check the time. He seemed to feel that the time had not come, so he turned back to the room and sat cross-legged on the bed.

His eyes were wide open, but he was lifeless, with a bewildered expression, not knowing what he was doing, just sitting quietly like this, without moving for a long time.

The night was getting deeper and deeper, the frogs croaked and the cicadas croaked one after another, and the moon rose from the willow branches into the air. Only then did the boy put on his shoes on the bed again,

First, he walked out of the courtyard slowly, and walked around the courtyard a few times, as if he was looking around to see if there was anything unusual.

After confirming that there was no one around, the boy jumped up with a whoosh, and this jump went straight to the top of the treetop. He stepped on a few leaves and twisted his body, and then shuttled between different treetops, walking quickly. Like flying.

Both feet passed by a little bit on the leaves, like a dragonfly on the water.
