Chapter 34 - CHAPTER 34: Be missing

Xiong Zhuo said he was going to get some dry wood. He went into the grove not far away with a knife. The mist that they came down from the mountain in the morning had really done a number of people in

Wenbin Zha took out a compass, ready to see the direction of Geomantic Omen here, hardly knew, he immediately ——"Yi" a sound, take a few steps, adjust the direction several times, the compass needle seems to be out of order, just keep shaking, never stopped. Wenbin Zha looked up at the sky, fog has dissipated, the sun is hanging in the sky, it seems that he can only see the aspect astrology at night.

This kind of compass misalignment has happened before, when there is a strong magnetic field interference this will occur, although the magnetic field changes, but the star position in the sky will not change. He put up the compass, was about to see leader Wang there. Suddenly "Bang" a shot broke across the valley floor of peace…

Wenbin Zha didn't smile. All this way he walked quietly and fearfully. At the moment, a shot rang out, he shouted toward Yichao He: "something bas, there should be something wrong in Xiong Zhuo there, quickly follow me to have a look!" As he said also told leader Wang and Yiran Leng: "This place is very strange, you stay in place, do not run around."

Yichao was a scout before, and is trained in Tibet, without any hesitation, he picked up the shotgun on the side and jump up, followed Wenbin Zha into the grove in a hurry…

Listening to the location of the shot, should be not far from this rest place. Two of them quickly pass through the grove, suddenly there is something shaking in front and is coming towards this way. Yichao raised shotgun, put his finger on the trigger, ready to fire.

The movement is getting closer and closer, but the weeds and trees are already grow higer than a person, and it's hard to see what it is, but they can vaguely feel the distance is getting closer and closer. Yichao, the scout, is a natural expert at judging distance by sound, he motioned to Wenbin the thing is less than 30 meters away, two of them did not dare to move, can only wait in place for the thing to come over. Suddenly there came a sound: "ouch".

The voice seems from Xiong Zhuo. Wenbin Zha shouted: "Xiong Zhuo brother." That side answered: "You are coming, come quickly to help." Two of them ran over to see, the boy hit a wild boar, which is about 50kg in weight. He smiled and said, "when I came in to collect firewood, I saw this guy, and I shot it down. We can pull it back and cook it for dinner."

Three men dragged the boar out of the grove, just back to the camp, leader Wang and the "little witch" was not there…

Xiong Zhuo had just come out, of course he did not know, but Wenbin Zha and Yichao knew that when they went in, two of them were outside. One was studying the stone man, the other was resting on the ground, and it was only for about ten minutes that they went in and out, where did two of them go?

Wenbin Zha threw out his voice, called the name of them two loudly, apart from the sound echo in the empty valley bottom, there is no others…

The little girl might have the possibility to run around, but leader Wang is an old member of the team with professional qualities in the field. He certainly would not leave the team without permission. The three men inspected the scene and found no evidence of sabotage or attack, everything was in perfect condition. Even the two mules were eating grass. Why no one was there?

Three people looked at the village in front of them, Wenbin Zha decided to go in and have a look first. Maybe leader Wang has found something new. Maybe he took the little girl with him to go in for an inspection. Now Wenbin Zha can only comfort himself in this way. But he also knows, If they were really inside, they should have responded to his loud call. They did not have time to tidy up, three men ran quickly toward the mysterious village.

A winding path led to the village, three of them are all strong, and of course it didn't take them long time to get there. The houses scattered around were mostly made of stone and wood, no people living in there for a long time and many were in disrepair. The three men kept looking around while they called out the name of leader Wang and Yiran Leng, but there was nothing apart from the silence. According to Laohan Zhuo's word, no one had been here for decades. Fortunately, it was daytime. If it was night, no one would dare to stay in such a village overnight.

The village is not big, however, more than half an hour passed, the entire village has been looked for by three people, but they found nothing… An uneasy feeling came over to Wenbin Zha. He felt that there was an indescribable feeling in this place, he has this feeling since he first looked from the top of the mountain, but he could not tell it. It was not fear, but a kind of loss. Yes, it was a kind of loss, it's as if there was once a legend here that vanished into history for no reason, just like those lost civilizations in the desert, no one knows who built them, and no one knows who made them disappear.

Suddenly, Wenbin Zha felt that he had fallen into an ancient unknown world, into an unknown realm, which was completely different from the situation he had encountered before.

They looked around the village again, still did not find anything. Wenbin Zha looked at the cloud-shrouded Qifeng mountain not far away, and thought in his mind, could they come into the mountain? Two live people were lost in broad daylight and under his field of vision. In order to prevent them come back later and can't find them, the three discussed and decided to wait at the entrance of the village, which is where they rested before.

Looking at a big wild pig, Xiong Zhuo cut off two hind legs, picked some good meat, made a fire and roasted it. But three of them lost their appetite, and waited until the sun was going down, they still did not come back. During the waiting time, they went to the village again to look for them, but they found nothing. One thing they can know for sure, they did not go out of the mountain, and if they are missing should be in this village.

Seeing the sun is about to go down, Wenbin Zha decided to try divination. He took out the Turtle Shell which is unknown its age, put his hands together and threw it to the ground, Xiong Zhuo look at Wenbin with his eyes widely opened, thought can this find them?

"Brother Wenbin, what is the image of the hexagram tells?" Yichao He cannot be waiting to asked.

Wenbin Zha thought for a moment and said slowly, "judging from the image of the hexagram, it is not good. This is a hexagram of Gou. If I read it correctly, two of them are now in the fourth phase of Gou Hexagram, which is the fierce.

"Does it mean that they're in danger?"

Wenbin Zha nodded his head, picked up the turtle shell and did a hexagram again. He looked at the turtle shell and said, this is the third line of the Hexagram "Weiji". The hexagram means "improper position", while the fourth line of the Hexagram "Gou" means "not going into the Stream", there are hidden dangers and misfortunes among them. The best way for them now is to be still, so that they may be able to reduce or avoid the dangers and misfortunes. I do not know where they are at all. Judging from the image of the hexagram, although they are in danger, but they are still in the human world. I can almost certain that they are alive, but their situation is difficult to guess."

There was a sense of tension when Yichao He listened this, Wenbin Zha's ability he naturally does not doubt, if he says there is danger, that basically is true: "then what we should do now?"

Wenbin Zha looked at the surrounding green mountains, the sun was about to fall, a gash of teeth: "we will be waiting here for now, there is something strange about this village, we will go in again to see what the result is in the evening."

Wenbin Zha told them to eat more. Tonight, no matter what, they need to find some clues, so they need to replenish their strength. The two scouts are experienced in living in the wild field, so make barbecues are easy for them. Soon, delicious wild boar meat is ready to eat. Wenbin Zha took out solid food from the bag to nibble, since the death of his daughter, he has almost no longer eat meat. After dinner, they checked the equipment separately. Two of them pinned the miner's lamp overhead, this specification is bought according to the requirements of field shooting light, the photo effect is very good, it is clear everywhere it hits, visibility can be hundreds of meters away.

Wenbin Zha wanted to look up at the position of the starlight, but he found that the top of his head was already pitch black. It was clear that the sun was very good during the day today. How could there be no starlight at night? Nothing could be seen at all. Xiong Zhuo followed and the light shone up, head of a vast expanse of white, they can see here has been fog at night. The fog height is a few dozen meters, a thick layer, it is estimated to be the same thing they seen this morning.

The sense of loss in Wenbin Zha's mind was getting stronger and stronger. The construction of this village must have been exquisite. But when looking down from the top of the mountain that several spots could not be seen. At night, he wanted to tell by the starlight, but it was obscured. It was always shrouded in a mystery, he has a kind of "do not know the true face of Lushan, only because of the sense of helplessness in this mountain". But at the moment he doesn't care so much, since leader Wang with the little girl is still in danger. Tonight must go into the village to explore again, whether it is a person or a beast or a ghost, have to reveal it.

Before setting out, two young men prepared their ammunition and sorted out the necessary items. Wenbin Zha gave each of them a piece of "Tianshi Operator" and explained that if something felt wrong, they can ignite the symbol or throw it in the direction. As for him, he carried the Bagua bag and with the seven-star sword in hand, leaded the direction into the mysterious village.
