Chapter 192 Paper-tying skills, human figures, mountains and rocks
Just when he touched the stone, Zhang Hao had already noticed it.
Especially when he touched the stone, it felt like he was getting an electric shock. At that time, he had already noticed that something was wrong, and even felt a little strange.
But he was a little tired at the time, and he was entering a relatively new and messy environment for the first time. He didn't react. He only thought that he had touched the numb tendon on his arm, which caused the feeling similar to an electric shock. Feel.
But now that I think about it, this is not the case.
The fact that the stone disappeared immediately after he turned around again was enough to prove some problems.
Moreover, the feeling of electric shock before was definitely not caused by touching the numbness. It is more likely that the stone has a so-called self-defense mechanism, so it feels like this. .
As a mountain walker, Zhang Hao knows one thing clearly, that is, there are some things in the mountains that cannot be touched directly, such as places where some mountain spirits and wild monsters live, or some mountain spirits.
Because whether it is a mountain spirit monster or a mountain spirit, it has a certain self-protection mechanism, or an instinct. If it is touched, it will suffer relatively minor damage. This is also to avoid being eaten by wild beasts in the mountains.
There is another situation that is even more special.
That is Shanbao!
Mountain treasures have special self-protection instincts, and the protection situation of each mountain treasure's self-protection instinct is also different. Some mountain treasures may use mental attacks, such as creating hallucinations or confusing the brain.
Some mountain treasures may just be fast, such as [Ginseng Lifting Sedan], which is extremely fast and does not use special attraction methods, so it will not be hooked at all. The most important thing is that [Ginseng Lifting Sedan] is too fast. , even if it is a prepared mountaineer, it is very troublesome to catch it.
Some mountain treasures may cause electric shock or damage to the body.
The stone he touched just now is very likely to be this kind of mountain treasure.
Now that the stone is missing, this further confirms Zhang Hao's idea that the stone is probably the so-called mountain treasure!
He suddenly felt a little distressed.
It was obvious that he was only a few centimeters away from the mountain treasure and could grab it with his hand, but he didn't react or even think of the relevant information. Instead, he waited until the stone had run away before he reacted. , This really shouldn’t be done, it’s very wrong...
Putting these thoughts aside for the time being, Zhang Hao hurriedly stood up and looked around, his expression full of helplessness and seriousness.
He looked at the huge rock that he had just leaned against, then moved his eyes down to the weeds below, and then looked at the huge rock behind him.
If the stone escaped to both sides, then according to common sense, he would be able to hear the sound. After all, the "Wen Zi Jue" had already achieved initial results, and he was very sensitive to some sounds in the mountains and forests.
And if the stone escapes, it will definitely make a sound. It is impossible for it to make no sound at all.
But he didn't hear anyone from the beginning to the end, unless... the stone hadn't left yet, and he felt the stone disappear. This was just a cover-up of the stone.
There is another possibility, which is the rock behind him.
That stone passed through this rock!
Zhang Hao personally prefers the second scenario, which is that the stone passed through the rock.
Just now, he recalled a kind of mountain treasure that he had seen in the [Illustrated Record of Mountain Walking Travels].
【Shadows of Mountains and Rocks】
The stone is as its name suggests. Under the sunlight, the shadow of this stone is a human-shaped shadow, which is highly recognizable.
And this is just one of the special features of this stone. The biggest feature of this [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] is also the most troublesome for mountain walkers. The most difficult point to catch is that this stone can escape through any stone. , and will not make any sound during the escape process.
It can be said that even if you grab the [Human Shadow Mountain Stone], even if you hold it in the palm of your hand, as long as there is a stone nearby, and as soon as the [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] gets close to the stone, then it can blend into it and find an opportunity to run away. Lose.
As long as this [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] runs away, it will not be so easy to catch him.
This is what troubles hikers the most. It is recorded in the "Illustrated Record of Mountain Walking Travels" that several hikers clearly grabbed the "Shadow Rock" because they were looking for something to remove it. Completely imprisoned, he took this opportunity to let [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] seize the opportunity, find the stone and take the opportunity to escape.
Therefore, these seniors who lost the [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] recorded this characteristic of it, and warned the hikers behind them to always pay attention to this to avoid a similar situation happening again.
Today, Zhang Hao also made the same mistake, but he didn't realize at the time that it was the [Human Shadow Mountain Stone]. Otherwise, he would have used the various things he had asked for from the temple in the Spirit-Building Basket. , even if the ancestor of [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] is standing there, Zhang Hao can catch it.
However, if you miss it, you miss it. As long as you confirm that the [Human Shadow Mountain Rock] is nearby, you can just look for it. Anyway, this thing won't go too far.
Thinking of this, Zhang Hao gradually lost his relaxed expression, turned to a serious face, frowned, picked up the spirit-solidifying basket, and came to the back of the huge rock.
When he came to the back, he squatted down and groped carefully under the rock until he touched a mark, which further confirmed his conjecture.
Under the rock, there is a slight dislocation that can be missed if you are not careful. This trace is very hidden and can only be found after squatting down and groping carefully.
Sure enough, this is the mark left by [Human Shadow Mountain Rock] when it passes through the rock. It is like breaking all the structures inside the rock, and then after passing through, the structure inside the rock is reorganized, but it is absolutely impossible to restore it. It becomes its original appearance, so it leaves such traces.
Of course, this does sound a bit mysterious, but in fact, this ability is exactly the same as the escape method of [Ginseng Carriage], except that one is to escape from the ground, and the other is to escape from the stone.
It seems that [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] has left.
Zhang Hao stood up, turned around immediately, faced the direction facing the rock, and squinted his eyes. [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] also made no sound when escaping, and left no traces. This shows that he was very cautious during the escape process and did not panic.
Then this is the only direction where he can escape.
After all, if he runs to both sides, Zhang Hao will definitely hear the sound. [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] cannot hide his voice, and there are no stones on both sides. Only on the road with his back facing, some small stones can be vaguely seen. .
If he were [Human Shadow Mountain Stone], he would definitely choose the road with stones, because he could use the stones to continue escaping, and at least he could ensure that he would not be discovered or caught.
As long as you continue walking along the road in front of you, you will surely gradually find traces of the [Human Shadow Rock].
I think there should be no problem.
Zhang Hao did not hesitate, raised his steps, and continued walking forward toward the escape route in front of him, which might be [Human Shadows and Rocks].
Soon, he came to a stone not far ahead. He also squatted down and groped carefully. Sure enough, he once again found some uneven and dislocated marks.
It was exactly as he suspected.
Without any further hesitation, Zhang Hao carried the Spiritual Basket and walked forward along the road in front of him without stopping.
But his pace is not fast, it can even be said to be a bit slow.
There is nothing he can do about it. He is now unable to determine the next movement trajectory of [Human Shadow Mountain Stone]. He can only explore slowly, looking for traces little by little. Once he finds [Human Shadow Mountain Stone], where will it appear? If there are traces of the direction, he will immediately start to analyze and re-plan the route. Even if he wants to go faster, he will not be able to go faster.
More importantly, Zhang Hao gradually discovered that this [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] is indeed cunning enough, and often leaves some confusing traces, or confusing traces.
For example, there were two different stones placed in front of him, divided into two directions.
Not long ago, he went to see two stones. They both had signs of dislocation, and the roads leading to the two stones had signs of being dragged. This showed that [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] He passed through these two stones separately in order to prevent his whereabouts from being exposed.
Zhang Hao shook his head and laughed: "This thing is almost as smart as anyone else..."
If it were [Ginseng Lifting Sedan], he might not do this. [Ginseng Lifting Sedan] would just blindly run to other places, to places that it thinks are safer, and would not be like [Human Shadow Mountain Rock]. , leaving confusing traces.
Of course, this is also related to the different attributes of the two. [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] moves slower. If this method is not used, he will definitely not be able to escape the capture of the mountain walker.
I have to say, as the saying goes, natural selection, survival of the fittest.
The mountain treasures really showed off their own special powers, each using their best strength to protect themselves.
However, even if [Human Shadow Mountain Stone] can use blindness, it will naturally not be hidden from Zhang Hao, and he also has ways to deal with it.
Zhang Hao was not in a hurry, but put the Guling Basket down slowly, sat on the ground, and took out a pair of scissors, a piece of red paper, paper-tying tools, etc. from the Guling Basket.
Then, he sat on the ground and began to tie up paper slowly.
In less than a quarter of an hour, a lifelike little red man appeared in his hand.
Then, he put the little red man in his hand, pricked his finger, and dropped a drop of blood on the head of the little red paper man. Then, he gently blew on it, and the little red man in his hand The person immediately followed the airflow and rolled towards the ground.
Just when he was about to land flat on the ground, the little red man suddenly turned around in mid-air, with his feet facing downwards and his head facing upwards, and his feet stepped on the ground very smoothly.
With a smile on his face, Zhang Hao looked at the little red man and pointed in another direction: "Go ahead and tell me immediately if there is anything. If there is nothing, just burn it on the spot."
The little red man didn't answer, didn't pick up the conversation, didn't even make any movement, and ran in that direction.
This is the paper-tying technique that Zhang Hao has learned, and it is considered the most powerful way of expression. It is similar to the resurrection of paper figures mentioned in the beginning of a certain lamp blowing work.
He can also prick the paper man to help him scout some places, and the drop of blood dripping on the head of the little red paper man can maintain the connection between the two.
However, the largest thing Zhang Hao can poke out is this big. It is impossible to poke a fully restored paper figure that is one to one size.
If he could really poke that thing out, then he wouldn't have to go anywhere. He would make a fortune just by buying the paper doll. This thing is much better than those dolls sold online. After all, it can truly feel like a human being, and It is completely possible to adjust independently.
You can even exchange it if you don’t want it anymore.
Just thinking about it makes me feel outrageous.
Putting the somewhat inappropriate thoughts in his mind aside, Zhang Hao re-examined the situation in front of him.
He watched the little red paper figure move towards that direction. Seeing that the speed was not too fast, but it was still faster than the movement speed of [Human Shadow Mountain Rock], he secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
In a situation like this where you are so busy, it would be the most convenient thing to use a small paper man like this to help you find out whether the [Human Shadow Mountain Rock] is heading in that direction.
As for the remaining direction, he would naturally explore it himself.
