Chapter 14 The correct way to open [Mountain Travel Record]

There are many such traditional skills of mountain walkers recorded in [Illustrated Records of Mountain Walking Travels].

For example, animal taming techniques.

According to records in ancient books, it originated from mountain walkers in the north.

It is said that it was the mountaineers in the north who domesticated the first wolf, and that's how people got today's dogs.

Zhang Hao still agrees with this statement.

After all, this is what was recorded in the "Illustrated Record of Traveling in the Mountains".

For example, there are even more detailed records in ancient books about precautions when hiking in the mountains.

For example, you must be careful when encountering the Trifolia trifoliata. There will be a venomous snake within five steps. If you are not careful, you may die.

The original text is: [When you encounter Triphylla trifoliata, there will be a poisonous snake within five steps, so be careful]

Moreover, ancient books also mention the Four-Character Strategy of Walking the Mountain.

Smell, smell, see, touch.

Smell, you can identify the direction by smelling the smell of soil.

It is recorded in ancient books: [Xiangyang soil has a light taste, like cow dung]

This means that the sunny land in the south will always emit a faint smell, which smells like cow dung.

To put it simply, as long as Zhang Hao masters the art of sniffing, he can identify the road in the mountains by just smelling it with his nose, even if he blindfolds his eyes and does not see the road.

Smell means listening through the ears, identifying the wild beasts in the mountains, and identifying their movements.

To put it simply, you can identify your location by listening to sounds, so you can better protect yourself in the wild.

It is recorded in ancient books: [When you hear the sound, you can be a ghost, a mountain spirit.]

The general idea is that after a mountain walker masters this technique, he can tell whether the person walking is a monster or a mountain spirit just by listening with his ears.

The spirits in the mountains are all the creatures in the mountains, including wild beasts, and naturally also treasures such as wild ginseng.

And the spirits... are naturally the indescribable and unexplainable things that those ancient mountain walkers saw.

Guan Zi Jue and Touch Zi Jue are much simpler.

With six eyesight, even in the dark night, hikers can clearly see the mountains and forests a hundred meters away. When encountering spirits, they can also judge with the naked eye whether what they see in front of them is real or false.

Touching is to judge whether the thing touched is poisonous, whether it can be picked, etc. through touch and experience.

These are extremely valuable experiences gained by mountain walkers of all generations with their lives and sacrifices, and can also help future generations of mountain walkers to find more treasures in the mountains.

Of course, the responsibility of a mountain walker is not just to find treasures in the mountains.

There is another name for mountain walkers, called "mountain guards", which are mountain guards in the true sense.

Protect the spiritual creatures in the mountain from destruction and protect the mountain.

Because only by protecting the mountains from damage and allowing mountain walkers to obtain treasures from the mountains can they continue to survive.

With his thoughts at this point, Zhang Hao's eyes became clear. He looked again at the nightingales hanging on the branches. Zhang Hao smiled and shook his head.

Now is not the time to tame the birds, nor is the time right.

The first thing he should do when he comes to mountain walking for the first time is to become familiar with the mountain roads and the mountains, so that he can completely integrate himself into the mountains, so that the mountain gods and spirits can feel his aura and truly recognize him as a mountain walker.

.

Feeling that his physical strength and energy had recovered a little, Zhang Hao continued walking forward along the forest path in front of him with a cane.

…

The grass is green and the forest is vast.

One person, one crutch, breathing heavily, and a slightly stooped body.

Zhang Hao raised his hand to hold on to the trunk of a tree, while holding on to the crutch with his other hand, he breathed in the fresh air in the forest greedily.

After taking a short rest, I took out my phone and looked at the time.

It was approaching noon, and he had been walking on the mountain all morning, almost never stopping.

This is a big test for his physical strength and endurance.

But fortunately, this was his first time walking in the mountains and he didn't expect to find anything, so it was relatively easy.

Regarding the current plan, Zhang Hao has his own plans.

By walking up the mountain many times, your body can gradually adapt to the rhythm of walking, which can be considered a physical exercise.

If you can accidentally discover some treasure in the mountains while walking in the mountains, then of course you cannot let it go.

But if the difficulty of obtaining the treasure in the mountain is relatively high for him now, then he will give up without hesitation.

The main reason is that his current experience is still insufficient, and he has not mastered the mountain walking skills. In the dangerous mountains, he may lose his life if he is not careful.

Zhang Hao would never take this risk.

After finally reviving his life, he just wanted to live well and live a good life with Li Siyu. Everything else was unimportant.

With this thought in mind, after a short rest time passed, and after some physical strength and endurance had recovered, Zhang Hao continued to use crutches, walking through the lush forest in front of him, towards the unknown place ahead.

There is something special about choosing a forest with lush weeds instead of a path that has been traveled by people.

It is recorded in ancient books: "To walk deep into the mountains, you need to cover all four fields. Do not walk on country roads. It will reject the mountain spirits and attract the spirits and monsters, which is wrong."

The general idea is that after hiking deep into the mountains, hikers need to take unexplored roads in the forest, which are roads that are full of weeds and difficult to walk at first glance.

Because walking this way, firstly, it is easier to discover the treasures in the mountains, and secondly, it is not easy to arouse the suspicion of the mountain spirits.

Those secluded paths in the forest are reserved for passers-by. In short, they are passers-by. When the yin energy is strong during the day, it is easy to attract the attention of spirits.

The mountain walker will leave after crossing the mountain. Even if he attracts the attention of the spirits, it will be easy as long as he does not meet the spirits in person.

But mountain walkers are different. Mountain walkers have been walking in the mountains for generations. Once they are contaminated by the spirit of the spirit, walking in the mountains will be extremely difficult.

Even if you change the hilltop, it is still easy to attract the attention of the spirits.

Of course, Zhang Hao has always been in a state of doubt about the spirits recorded in ancient books.

Since mountain walkers of all ages have focused on describing mountain spirits, it naturally cannot prove that such things do not exist.

But in today's society, after the founding of the People's Republic of China, animals cannot become spirits. In addition, no one in the contemporary era has ever seen these things. It must be something about the spirits in the mountains...

It's really hard to say.

However, with a heart in awe of the mountains, Zhang Hao would rather abide by the rules and beliefs of these mountain walkers of all ages.

After all, he now relies on this craft to earn a living.

At this time, a dazzling light appeared in Zhang Hao's eyes.

His steps paused slightly, and then he quickly moved forward, passing through the dense jungle in front of him, and the light became more and more dazzling.

Then, he walked through the woods and met the light.

In front of you is an open space, and looking further ahead is a fault with a huge drop, and dense woods are spread out in layers far below your eyes.

The fresh air, the dazzling but warm sunshine, the chirping of birds, and the roar of the mountains and forests.

Not far away, the endless mountain forest stretches for hundreds of miles, and is eventually obscured, covered, and protected by the misty mist.

Unknowingly, he came to a cliff.

Phew~

Occasionally, a breeze blows and the leaves rustle.

Zhang Hao's hair was swaying in the wind. He looked at the scenery in front of him, and for a moment he forgot what to do and just stared blankly.

It turns out... the mountain where he has lived for so many years still has such scenery.

At this moment, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and his eyes showed a look of yearning.
