Chapter 43 You Are Right Here

The aura on Master Ji's palm did not dissipate, and he still looked cautious. He shook the piece of silk and unfolded it.

After unfolding, there was nothing inside the silk, but his eyes lit up, because as the silk unfolded, he saw a picture painted on one side of the silk.

He spread the silk flat on the ground, looked at it intently, and after a while he couldn't help but laugh sinisterly, "Haha, I was wondering why you bought so many clothes every time you came back. It turned out that you drew a picture on it somewhere in the city. You are really clever. How can I always prevent you from bringing this thing in? You didn't dare to put this picture in the house because you were afraid that I would accidentally find it, so you moved this patch of flowers and plants and buried this picture in a remote place. I wouldn't care if you came here to weed and plant flowers, or even lie here, but this picture has been buried for a long time, and the flower roots have lost water, so it is inevitable that they will bloom. I am a little disappointed. Do you usually sit or lie here to study this map? "

At this moment, there is a map on the side of the black robe on the ground. It is a map of the mountains near the North City. This kind of map is sold in many shops in the city. It is not a military map, but a map for merchants and nearby residents. This map depicts the geographical features of the nearby Daqing Mountain and some shortcuts leading to the mountain. These are not the main points. The main thing is that this map marks what kind of monsters there are in the nearby mountains, as well as the types of monsters, etc. The main purpose is to let nearby residents and passing merchants know about the Daqing Mountain, so as not to go too deep or go to the wrong place, otherwise they will never come back.

There are two sources of this kind of map. One is that the military will publish a part of it. The military will go into the mountains to hunt some monsters every year. One is to train soldiers, and the other is to prevent too many monsters from appearing on the edge of the Daqing Mountain. Although the level of these monsters is not too high, they are also fatal to ordinary mortals. Another source is some private business associations, they also explore Daqing Mountain, and in the process of exploration, they slowly formed their own maps.

The map on the black cloth in front of him is not the kind of map for sale. It should be specially drawn by someone, with the intention of making it difficult for others to find it and easily mixed in with clothes.

Ji Junshi is no longer concerned about the source of this map. He thought casually that Hong Linying must not know this map. This is also a means for Li Yan to save his life. How can he let others know his whereabouts? What he cares about now is how to know the boy's intentions from this map, so he turned it over and over to look at it carefully.

After a while, the third military division was even more delighted. "Haha, I know you are very smart, but I didn't know there is such a thing as spiritual consciousness in the world."

After carefully observing it, he didn't find much. He just squinted his eyes and looked carefully when he picked it up to face the sunlight. Now he found that there were traces on the black cloth, but he couldn't see it clearly. So he simply released his spiritual consciousness to explore the black cloth. Suddenly, several lines were reflected on his spiritual consciousness. The scratches were of different thicknesses, but one of the thicker lines was very obvious. It was a line that went from not far from the north gate, along a path to the west side of Daqing Mountain, and finally stopped at a place about 70 or 80 miles deep. There were very few monsters marked in that place.

These lines should be the result of long-term wandering on the black cloth map with fingers or nails, but it is difficult for the cloth to retain such inadvertent scratches. It was only after the third military division used his spiritual consciousness that they immediately appeared.

The third military division repeatedly observed the line with thicker scratches with his consciousness. After a while, he laughed. He knew that this line was thicker than other lines because it was scratched the most times by people, and the scratches left by it were the most repeated, forming overlaps, which made it look thicker. The reason was that among these lines, he considered this line the most and it was the most likely. Moreover, there were very few marked monsters there, so it was a good place to hide.

"Humph, I knew you wouldn't escape back to your hometown so easily, it would be too easy to find it. Sure enough, the clothes and flowers you bought were all for a purpose."

The third military division put the black cloth in his arms, and then shot out of the valley, came to the field outside the valley, and called Chen An and Li Yin again. In the uneasy expressions on their faces, he whispered a few words and quickly rushed down the mountain.

After receiving the order, Chen An and Li Yin also showed a thoughtful expression on their faces. From time to time, they entered the forest and led the horses, and then rode down the mountain.

The two of them received the order from the Third Army Division, who asked them to quietly go to Lijia Village at the foot of Daqing Mountain and secretly inquire about the situation in the village. If they found Li Yan in the village, they would leave one person to guard it and the other to come back and report to him. Although the Third Army Division was basically sure that Li Yan would not return to the village, he still did not want to miss any possibility.

After going down the mountain, the Third Army Division did not immediately look for Li Yan according to the map, but went into the city again and secretly searched around "Natural Wine House" and "Iron Pavilion". After confirming that Li Yan was not there, he was relieved.

The Third Army Division looked up at the sky. It was almost noon at this time. He got some food at "Natural Wine House". After a simple meal, he got up and went out of the city.

The mountain road is rugged and covered with thorns. This mountain road is like many mountain roads leading into Daqing Mountain. There are not many people walking on it at ordinary times. The weeds and vines in the mountains grow very fast, and soon they will cover the small paths that were occasionally opened up by people.

The mountains in early summer are already hot at noon. Occasionally, there is a breeze, which is also a bit cool. The wind is mixed with the fragrance of wild flowers, which also makes people feel comfortable.

But the people walking on it at this time do not feel very good. The black-robed and "dark"-faced Ji Junshi bent down from time to time to look for something, and then continued to move forward. Now his face is full of sweat.

Here, spiritual awareness is not very useful. From the map, the place he is going to is about 70 or 80 miles away from the official road. It is not too far, especially for a person with special skills like him. However, there are dense thorns below and huge tree crowns on the top. As you walk, many small paths will branch out from time to time. These small paths are covered with thorns and shrubs. If you are not careful, you will go in the wrong direction and you may end up far away.

Although with his current spiritual power, he can fly away flat on the ground, but this will inevitably alarm the birds and beasts in the forest. The kid may hear it from a distance and become a "frightened bird". It will increase the difficulty of searching by himself, so he has to move forward carefully and capture Li Yan in one fell swoop.

Looking at the shrubs on the ground, the veins on the forehead of the military division jumped. It is obvious that this has been tampered with again. He has walked carefully for a cup of tea and has encountered such a situation several times. This time he has to adjust the direction again. That kid actually knew how to make camouflage and traps, and these mechanical changes cannot be detected by the spiritual sense. The spiritual sense can only replace the eyes to see more clearly or farther. Of course, with the current spiritual power of the third division, the spiritual sense cannot see farther than the eyes. But seeing clearly is seeing clearly, whether it is right or wrong, true or false still needs human judgment.

Since he entered the mountain, in a short journey of about 20 miles, he adjusted the direction at least four times, and once he almost startled the birds in the forest. Although he didn't think Li Yan could see it here, he didn't dare to be careless. Now he has a new understanding of Li Yan, knowing that this kid has a forbearing heart and his mind may not be inferior to his. Now even he is a little shaken. There is no guarantee that Li Yan will go to the place marked on the map. Maybe he changed direction halfway or hid halfway.

This is because he lacks some details about Li Yan. Li Yan has followed the adults in the village to hunt in the mountains since he was a child. Half of the income of the village originally came from hunting. There is a set of hunting methods passed down from ancestors. Disguise and traps are just what they often do. Otherwise, with the alertness of monsters, even if they are not in the mainstream, their natural alertness is extremely difficult to capture.

Although the "Xunxian Lineage" of the third military division also has means of hiding and searching, they mainly avoid monsters, and the means of searching are aimed at various clues left by immortals.

Time passed little by little, and the sun slowly went west. When the night was about to come, he finally came to the middle of a mountain without disturbing too many birds and beasts.

At this moment, Master Ji was lying in the crown of a giant tree. He looked up and saw a platform about 70 to 80 meters high halfway up the mountain about a mile away from him. Several giant pines on the platform swayed in the breeze, and there was a faint sound of pine waves. At this time, under a pine tree, there was a man sitting under it eating.

Master Ji used his spiritual power to surge his eyes and looked intently. The man was also wearing a black robe, sitting on a huge rock under the pine, eating from time to time, looking around from time to time, and behind him was the cliff.

"Are you here?" Master Ji looked for a while and found that the man was Li Yan, and he couldn't help muttering.

"Although there are few monsters here, it is a good place to hide, but where else can you go on this hillside?"

Ji Junshi lay in the huge tree canopy and did not act immediately. He was thinking about how to hit him with one strike, because Li Yan was sitting on the rock under the giant pine, and the cliff behind him was very close. As for how deep the cliff was, it could not be judged based on the direction he was coming from now. It is possible that he has been climbing the slope since he entered the mountain, but his side is a gentle slope.

>

If he could not capture Li Yan with one strike, and Li Yan was forced into a desperate situation, it is hard to guarantee that he would not fight for his life. In a desperate situation, all he had to do was turn around and enter the cliff. By then, he would be in trouble.

He lay in the huge canopy and observed quietly, and after Li Yan on the mountain finished eating, he took out a water bag from the package on the ground and drank a sip, and then put the water bag on the stone slab under his feet.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear something and suddenly fell to the ground, which frightened Advisor Ji.

He clearly didn't make any sound just now. Did this guy discover him? Then he saw Li Yan lying on the ground, slowly raised his head, and slowly looked towards him. His heart suddenly lifted up. "Damn, this guy really discovered it. How did he find it?" Ji Junshi was complaining in his heart. Since he was discovered, he must speak out. Yes, "speak out", which was also a method he had just thought of. The distance was too far, and it was about a mile from bottom to top. He couldn't catch this guy in front of Li Yan in the time it took for Li Yan to turn around.

Just as he was about to stand up and speak to stabilize Li Yan, he suddenly felt that something was wrong again. The boy's eyes left here and slowly scanned to the left side of his body, and his eyes began to become unusually vigilant.

"Is there someone else on my left? No, I searched the area when I first arrived, but I didn't find anything there, so I hid here. Is this guy too sensitive? Maybe he is just imagining things." So, Master Ji stabilized his body again and waited for the next step.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Yan, who was halfway up the mountain, looked for a while, but he was not only looking at the left side of Master Ji's current position, but also looked carefully at the right side for a while, and then slowly climbed up again.

"Fuck, he is really weak in his heart. This kid is a little neurotic. He is like this at the slightest disturbance." Master Ji was furious and couldn't help cursing in his heart. He almost exposed his tracks just now. If he really went out and didn't stabilize the kid, he would regret it.

At this time, Li Yan, who was standing on the hillside, stood up and looked around, then listened for a while, and finally sat down on the boulder again. He looked down and couldn't help but hurriedly picked up the water bag that he had just placed next to him. It turned out that he had kicked down the water bag that he had just placed next to the boulder. At this time, clear water was flowing from the mouth of the water bag. Although there were clear springs in this mountain, there were none nearby, so it was still a long way to get water.

Li Yan quickly picked up the water bag, plugged it, and shook it in his ear, sighing.

At this time, the military division Ji on the huge tree canopy unexpectedly discovered a situation. As the water in the water bag poured out, the rock beside Li Yan was different in color. He was moved and concentrated his spiritual power again. He looked carefully for a while and was shocked.
