The opportunity for revenge has arrived in the third quarter
Back at Laoya Ridge, the sky is already full of stars.
Wei Shiqi made a pot of salt tea, poured it into a wooden bowl and sipped it slowly. The tea is a tea brick bought from Xinyang Town. It is made from large leaves and mixed with many branches. If you are used to drinking this kind of bitter and bad tea, you will not be satisfied with other teas.
He leaned against the rock and thought about Deng Zhang's words during the day from beginning to end. He felt that it was not a trap. Although the old bear in Black Pine Valley was ferocious, if the Xiandu disciples took action, it would be a few Very sure.
Deng Zhang didn’t give much details. He only said that the Xiandu sect was a branch of Kunlun and belonged to the lineage of sword cultivators. His nephew had practiced under the Xiandu sect for ten years and could easily deal with a mere beast. Wei Shiqi didn't ask any more questions. The two parties agreed to meet in Xinyang Town one month later and go to Black Pine Valley to hunt the golden-backed bear.
Before that, Wei Shiqi decided to go to Black Pine Valley first.
Having made up his mind, he put out the fire, got into the cave where he lived, wrapped himself in the animal skin and fell asleep, having a dreamless night.
Early the next morning, Wei Shiqi climbed Laoya Ridge covered with morning dew, came to the foot of a thick white-barked pine tree, bent his thumb and index finger, held it in his mouth and whistled twice loudly . After a while, the green wolf trotted from the forest to the tree and yawned at him.
Wei Shiqi pointed in the direction of Black Pine Valley and made a spying movement. Qinglang was confused for a moment, his eyes turned sharp, his teeth bared, and he looked quite excited. Wei Shiqi patted his head and muttered: "The opportunity for revenge has come. Let's find out first and take action next time."
This time Qing Lang did not turn his head away. Its parents died at the claws of a golden-backed bear. Without the power of this male human, going to Black Pine Valley would just be a waste of time.
Qing Lang led the way, followed closely by Wei Shiqi, heading towards Black Pine Valley
. The mountain road was rugged and difficult to navigate, and Green Wolf frequently stopped and waited, his eyes showing impatience and contempt. At noon, Wei Shiqi followed the sound and found a stream, which meandered down the rocks and disappeared into the bushes. He found a shade next to the stream and sat down, taking a few sips of the stream water. It was clear and sweet, and very quenching his thirst.
There were still a few hills away from Black Pine Valley. Wei Shiqi was worried about disturbing the old bear, so he didn’t light a fire. He took out a roasted wild boar leg from his backpack and tore off the dry and hard pieces. Dip the cold meat in some coarse salt and stuff it into your mouth, chewing it hard. The green wolf ran into the bushes, caught a fat pheasant, and devoured it.
After taking a short rest, Wei Shiqi continued on the road. It was not until dusk fell and the moon rose above the treetops that he arrived outside the Black Pine Valley.
Wei Shiqi climbed up the high cliff and carefully stuck his head out. He saw the moonlight like water, illuminating a dense black pine forest. There was an open space in the middle of the forest, and a huge bluestone was half buried in the soil. Inside, there were about a dozen black pines growing sparsely around. They were thick and strong, and the two of them could barely hug each other. The bark was badly damaged, the branches and leaves were half withered, and there were broken tree stumps everywhere. A fat old bear is sitting on the stone, looking up towards the crescent moon, opening and closing its big mouth, breathing long and hard, trying to swallowYuehua, with a long golden hair on his back, shines brightly.
Qinglang stared at the murderer of his parents, opened his mouth to reveal his sharp white teeth, and suppressed silence, breathing a little heavily.
Perhaps it was an illusion, as the old bear breathed in and out, his body seemed to expand a little. Wei Shiqi thought to himself: "It's amazing, it turned out to be a demon that has become a spirit. It actually swallows the essence of the sun and the moon!"
A few thick dark clouds passed by, the moonlight faded, and the old bear jumped down from the bluestone, as if he was drunk, staggering among the black pines, stumbling all the way, making the tree trunks buzz and tremble. Branches and needles fell like rain. Wei Shiqi noticed that every time the old bear hit the tree trunk, it was at the same place on its back, the end of the golden hair.
After a quarter of an hour of tossing, the old bear was like a deflated leather bag, exhaling streaks of white air, his body shriveled several times, and exhausted, he left the black pine forest and returned to the rock. In the bear's den, he fell asleep.
Wei Shiqi stayed outside the Black Pine Valley for more than ten days and found that the old bear appeared very regularly. He usually went outside the valley to look for food in the early morning, returned to the bear's den to rest in the afternoon, and patrolled in the forest at night. Itching, when the bright moon is high and the moonlight is at its peak, I climb up the bluestone to swallow the essence, and bump my back against the tree, which makes me extremely tired every time.
The old bear is as hard as iron. Even if it falls asleep, bows, arrows and hunting forks cannot hurt it, but for the disciples of the Xiandu Sect, this is an opportunity.
Wei Shiqi had made up his mind and was about to leave Black Pine Valley when Qinglang bit the corner of his clothes and shook his head, signaling to wait. Wei Shiqi was puzzled, but the green wolf was always smart, so there must be a reason for doing so. Calculating that there was still plenty of time before the agreed date, he might as well stick to it for a few more days.
At dawn, the old bear left the Black Pine Valley and went to look for food in the dense forest in the distance. The green wolf whined twice and suddenly plucked up the courage to rush out, jumping between the cliffs like flying, passing through the mountains. Pass through the pine forest and go straight to the old bear's den.
Knowing that Old Xiong would not turn around immediately, Wei Shiqi was still a little worried.
After less than half an hour, the green wolf rushed back to the cliff, holding a piece of broken animal skin in its mouth. It was black and smelly and unsightly. It placed the animal skin at Wei Shiqi's feet, its chest and abdomen were heaving, breathing heavily, and wagging its tail like a dog, extremely excited.
The stuff stolen from the bear's den was filled with a stink. Wei Shiqi stretched out his arms to pick up the animal skin, suppressed his nausea, and took a few glances. There are several weird human figures painted on the animal skin. One is squatting on the ground with its mouth wide open towards the full moon. The second one has his upper body stretched out and his back hits the big tree, with a straight line drawn along the spine. The third one is thin and shriveled, spitting out from his mouth. A breath. Wei Shiqi's heart skipped a beat. This was clearly Lao Xiong's practice method of swallowing moonlight.
The green wolf panted for a moment, rubbed his calf, and ran away quickly. Wei Shiqi didn't care to think about it, put the animal skin in his arms, and ran away with his long legs. A wolf quickly disappeared into the dense forest.
