Chapter 413 Meeting on a Narrow Road (Part 2)
The night in Changbai Mountain is unusually quiet, as if in a silent world, only the "crackling" sound made when the firewood in the house burns makes people feel that they are in reality.
This kind of environment is very suitable for meditation, just after Hu Hongde ate and drank enough to sleep, Ye Tian sat quietly in the corner of the house, feeling this pure land that has not been defiled by humans with his heart.
Different from the spiritual energy condensed by formations in the courtyard courtyard in the capital, although the spiritual energy in the mountains is not as strong, it is very pure, and it has a hint of clear aura, which is somewhat similar to the spiritual energy contained in the few pieces of jade obtained by Ye Tian.
"When I have the opportunity to see the power of Buddhism and Western beliefs, they have existed for so long, and there are so many believers, I think they must have their own uniqueness!"
Thinking of the kind of aura he encountered when fighting with Meng Blind Man a few days ago, Ye Tian's thinking couldn't help but think of Buddhism and Western sects.
Slowly Ye Tian's eyes closed, at this time he had entered a state of deep meditation, and at the same time, his breathing became much slower, and it took a few minutes each time to see a slight rise and fall in his chest.
"Rustle...... rustling ......" Suddenly, the sound of footsteps rubbing against the snow reached Ye Tian's ears, which immediately woke him up from meditation.
"Lao Hu, wake up!" As soon as Ye Tian opened his mouth and shouted, Hu Hongde, who was originally asleep, opened his eyes, and the people living in the mountains were no worse alert than Ye Tian.
"Bang!" With a loud noise, the entire wooden house shook, and the not very strong door panel was directly knocked open from the outside, and a dark shadow entered the house with the biting cold wind.
"Damn, bear?!" Ye Tian's eyesight was excellent, and he could see at a glance that it was a black bear about 1.5 meters tall.
After entering the house, the bear seemed to be a little afraid of the bonfire, but it seemed reluctant to leave, so he sniffed at Ye Tian and the others, and actually got into the corner of the wooden house and fell asleep regardless of it.
"This ...... Is this bear raised by humans?"
Seeing this scene, Ye Tian's eyes suddenly widened, in his impression, the bear seemed to attack humans, but the scene in front of him completely subverted his cognition.
Originally, Ye Tian was already ready, and Wu Xian had already slipped into the palm of his hand, thinking that Ming'er would have bear paws to eat, but this big guy's naïve appearance made Ye Tian unable to kill him.
"Hmph!" As if answering Ye Tian's words, the bear turned over and let out a snort from his mouth.
"Just let it sleep here, this black blind man is harmless!"
Hu Hongde didn't expect a blind man to break in in the middle of the night, shook his head and got up to help the door panel up, blocking the door opening where the cold wind was blowing into the room.
"Lao Hu, what if it sits on you at night?"
Ye Tian heard that the most powerful thing about the black blind man is not the slap, but the buttocks, no matter how strong a person is, if he is sitting on his body by that big butt, it will turn into a ball of meat sauce.
Hu Hongde smiled and said: "It's okay, it's just winter, it has a lot of oil and water in its belly, it is estimated that this guy didn't find a tree hole, so he can only drill here......"
Every year when it snows, they huddle in tree holes without eating or drinking, relying on the fat accumulated before to survive the cold winter.
But if the black blind man who had already gone into hibernation was woken up, he would not be as docile as he is now, even the overlord tiger in the mountains and forests would have to retreat from him.
Sure enough, the two of them and the bear were safe and sound that night, and when Ye Tian and Hu Hongde left the next morning, the big guy used that earth-shattering snort to see them off.
"Lao Hu, what's wrong? Should we chase the blind Meng and the others, or go dig up ginseng first?" After coming out of the wooden house, Ye Tian looked at Hu Hongde, the situation in the mountains, he was obviously not familiar with the other party.
Hu Hongde thought for a moment and said: "Go chase Meng Blind, it doesn't matter if you dig ginseng a few days later!"
Hu Hongde is also a master who refuses to suffer, he has been rampant in Changbai Mountain for so many years, but he was calculated by Meng Blind Man when he was old, and almost even his granddaughter died in front of his eyes.
"Okay, I want to see the shamanic techniques too!" Ye Tian didn't care, he was also very interested in Meng Blind Man's ability to borrow spiritual energy without cultivating his own spiritual energy.
"I forgot to bring the rhubarb in, let's go, there is only one road up the mountain here, and you should be able to see the traces they left behind after passing here!"
When Meng Blind Man and the others entered the mountain, the snow had not stopped, and the heavy snow had buried many traces, but Hu Hongde had been in the mountains for so many years, and any clue could make him determine the other party's whereabouts.
After spending most of the day climbing over the mountain in front of him with a height of more than 2,000 meters, he found a bonfire buried under the snow.
After Hu Hongde walked around, he said: "That's right, Meng Blind is going in the direction of the cottage!"
"The copycat where you set up a pole back then?" Ye Tian asked curiously.
"That's right, the terrain there is steep and very secret, unless you are your own person, otherwise it is difficult to find out."
Speaking of this, Hu Hongde's face showed hatred, "Meng Blind originally didn't know that place, I took him into the mountains back then, this ungrateful thing!"
When Meng Blind Zi's father was just shot, Hu Yunbao remembered his old feelings and once took Meng Blind Man to live in the mountains for a few months, and taught him some superficial kung fu.
But then the rumors of the arrest of Hu Yunbao were very tight, and he was afraid of implicating Meng Blind, so he sent him home, but this white-eyed wolf hated Hu Yunbao.
Ye Tian shook his head and said: "Lao Hu, no, Meng Blind should understand, you also know that cottage, he is not afraid that you will catch up?"
"This person has a vicious mind, he probably didn't have any good intentions when he entered the mountain, I'm afraid he wanted to break up with me."
To say that the people who know themselves best in this world are not necessarily relatives, they are generally enemies who hate you to the bone, just as Meng Blind knew that Hu Hongde would chase him to the mountains, Hu Hongde also figured out Meng Blind's mind.
"Then if we break through like this, won't we fall into his arms?" Although Meng Blind Man's technique is not very clever, Ye Tian doesn't want to make a fuss here.
"It's okay, I know a trail and we can reach the cottage in front of them."
Hu Hongde had a fierce smile on his face, "I was the ruler of Changbai Mountain back then, and his son is not a scoundrel, he wants to fight me, Meng Blind Man's Taoism is a little shallow!"
The year the Japanese surrendered, Hu Hongde, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old at the time, killed six little devils with just one military assassin, which was one of the reasons why he was not implicated by his father later.
Ye Tian and Hu Hongde are both skilled people, and the mountains that seem insurmountable to ordinary people are nothing in the eyes of the two of them, and within one day, the two of them climbed over two mountains.
At night, they were still resting in a wooden house in the mountains, but today the two of them took turns to keep vigil, because according to Hu Hongde's estimation, they should not be far from Meng Blind Man and others who had left three days earlier.
Early the next morning, Hu Hongde still took Ye Tian into the dense forest, and at noon, the two came to the foot of a mountain.
Pointing to the misty mountain at the top, Hu Hongde said: "Ye Tian, this is my father's village back then.
"Good place, this mountain is easy to defend and difficult to attack."
Ye Tian observed carefully, this mountain peak is different from most of the mountains with long and gentle slopes in Changbai Mountain, there is only a sheep intestine trail up the mountain, which is very steep, and the Japanese should have suffered a big loss here at the beginning.
"Lao Hu, what's wrong?" Seeing Hu Hongde looking straight at the mountain, Ye Tian patted him on the shoulder.
"Uh, it's okay, Ye Tian, let's go up the mountain first, just wait for them on the mountain!"
Hu Hongde hadn't been here for many years, standing at the foot of the mountain, recalling the past events that happened more than half a century ago, he was a little in a trance for a while.
Ye Tianxun deduced for a moment, his brows furrowed suddenly, he stretched out his hand to grab Hu Hongde, and said: "Wait, I just divined a hexagram, they should be thirty miles northeast, and they may not necessarily go up the mountain!"
Even if Ye Tian had calculated the whereabouts of Meng Blind Man before, he only knew that he was in this mountain, but now that the distance was closer, Ye Tian's deduction was much more accurate.
"Thirty miles to the northeast? Isn't that the direction of Black Dragon Pool?"
Hu Hongde was stunned when he heard this, there was a bottomless pool of water in that place, and it was shrouded in poisonous miasma all year round, and few people dared to approach that area.
Listening to Hu Hongde's explanation of the Black Dragon Pool, Ye Tian smiled and said: "Lao Hu, it's the Dragon Pool and the Tiger's Den, what are you and I afraid of?"
"Okay, the brave will win when we meet on a narrow road, let's go!"
Hu Hongde was so excited by what Ye Tian said that he threw all the extra things on his body to the ground, just holding the crossbow and a sharp mountain knife at his waist.
Due to the dense mountains and forests, firearms are not the best choice when encountered in old forests.
"Hurry up, walk faster, there are still seven or eight miles to rest!"
More than thirty miles away from Ye Tian and the others, Meng Blind Man was constantly urging Guo Zichen and the others, and he found that it was a complete mistake to take these people with him, and he postponed his expected arrival at the nest for a whole day.
And what worries Meng Blind the most is that he will feel a palpitation in his heart from time to time, just like being targeted by a Siberian tiger when he entered the mountains at the age of eighteen, and his intuition told him that Hu Hongde was not far from him.
