Chapter 59: Discovery of Ling Tian's Master, Qing Dou

  The mountainous area after the snow was really hard to walk, and the thick accumulated snow, combined with the unfamiliar terrain, forced Qin Feng and others to stop and rest for a while.

  Frowning, Qin Feng gazed out at the endless snowy terrain with a sigh of admiration, bending his waist and propping his hands on his knees to catch his breath. The hill in the north didn't seem far away, but it was actually quite a distance when he started walking. Now that he had walked halfway, Qin Feng was already too tired to move.

  "Whew..." Qin Feng let out a breath, then lifted his head to gaze at the mountainous area, and said: "With such a long distance, we might as well drive over instead."

  Zhou Qin patted Qin Feng's shoulder and comforted him, saying: "With this mountain road and snow, if I had the money, I would definitely buy three Hummers."

  "Why is it three?"

  Zhou Qin was delighted and said, "You take one, I'll take one, and the luggage will take one. It's a reasonable and scientific distribution."

  Listening to this, Qin Feng couldn't help but chuckle. He walked up to the small hill and began to appreciate the surroundings. Perhaps it was because he had learned Taoism, or perhaps it was because he was too sensitive, but unintentionally, Qin Feng felt a chill wind blowing around him all the time.

  Frowning, Qin Feng vaguely felt a force circulating around him, as if it was a magnetic field that was constantly affecting him.

  "Wait a minute, Brother Zhou Qin!" Just then, Qin Feng realized something was wrong and called out to Zhou Qin. Big literary style.

  Zhou Qin was about to follow Qin Feng over when he unexpectedly heard him say that, and his mind was filled with confusion. So he asked: "What's wrong?"

  Qin Feng spat out a mouthful of saliva and said calmly: "There's something following us!"

  In the desolate mountains and wilderness, Qin Feng suddenly said something that made his hair stand on end, and Zhou Qin listened to it and suddenly felt a chill run down her spine. She narrowed her eyes, turned around, and kept observing her surroundings with vigilance, but didn't find anything unusual.

  "How did I not notice it was there?"

  Qin Feng's intuition was never wrong, this power had been silently tracking them, and it was really puzzling. "Could someone be following us?"

  Zhou Qin seemed to understand that Qin Feng was overthinking, so he advised him: "Wake up, don't be suspicious of everything, we need to hurry on our journey."

  As he spoke, he pulled Qin Feng and continued to head north.

  Perhaps it was just his own excessive worry that caused the reaction, Qin Feng couldn't say for sure, but he also couldn't help being on guard. After walking for a while, Qin Feng cautiously observed the surroundings until the sun reached its peak, and the two finally arrived at the northern mountainous area, panting heavily.

  The northern mountainous area is more rugged than the other sides, and the rocks and trees are more pleasing to the eye. Due to the loose soil of the Loess Plateau, there are very few places that can be truly called mountains, and most are just earth. But this place in front of us to the north is indeed a mountain, with stones visible all over the road, and the surrounding area is dotted with elm and pagoda trees that have not grown together, and it's impossible to see what's ahead from a distance.

  "This should be Lüzishan."

  Qin Feng looked at the markings on the map again and judged that this place should be Liu Qi's marked Lu Zi Mountain.

  Then Qin Feng looked around at the terrain again. Although he didn't find any rivers, the surrounding environment was very similar to the one on the map, so it's highly likely that this is the place.

  It's noon, and the two of them remembered this place before returning to the village chief's home. At this time, the village chief said that Leizi had recovered a lot and was no longer ill. When he woke up today, he even looked at himself, although he couldn't speak, but the village chief still shed tears with emotion.

  The snow has begun to melt slowly, and the sound of dripping water can be heard continuously from the eaves. Qin Feng and Zhou Qin returned to the house and began discussing the marks on the map again.

  "This afternoon, we must bring all the equipment, Liu Qi's skills are better than mine, can't be careless." Qin Feng said to Zhou Qin while packing up the things they needed.

  Because the Khukuri and Bronze Sword are both classified as "daggers" and are controlled knives, they are not allowed on trains. Qin Feng did not bring one, so he had no close-range weapons and could only buy a dagger from a nearby store to return with. Although it was not very useful, it might still be useful at critical moments.

  Zhou Qin somehow got his hands on a modified live ammunition shotgun, loaded with bullets, indistinguishable from a real gun. Seeing the scene between Qin Feng and Zhou Qin, the village chief came in and didn't know what had happened, repeatedly asking: "What's going on? Are you robbers?"

  This sentence can shut Qin Fengle's mouth, pack up his things and explain to the village chief: "What are you thinking of, Village Chief? If we were really robbers, would we still need to spend the night at your house? We might as well kill people and steal goods directly."

  The village chief thought so too, but didn't understand why you were being treated this way. Were you going to leave or something?

  "Village chief, let's not beat around the bush. We came here to investigate the geology of the Loess Plateau. Our mission is not yet complete, how can our superiors let us leave?"

  Although Qin Feng knew he was being a bit far-fetched, it was also reasonable and moderate, and could deceive him. After laughing to himself for a while, Qin Feng asked again: "Where is Lüzishan in this place?"

  "Luzi Mountain?" The village chief pointed to the northeast direction behind him and said: "It's just over there, are you going that way?"

  Qin Feng nodded and responded with a "yes". However, he also realized that the direction the village chief was pointing to was the same direction he and Zhou Qin had gone to this afternoon.

  "Luzishan is a bit far from here, about six or seven miles away."

  At this time, Zhou Qin said again: "Village head, which family has a car?"

  "West neighbor's He Dazhu has a tractor of seven or eight years old, can you use it?"

  It's okay, even if it's a tractor, it's still a motor vehicle, and it's better than walking such a long distance.

  After lunch, Qin Feng and Zhou Qin accompanied the village chief to He Dazhu's house in the west. He Dazhu lent it to Zhou Qin with great thickness after hearing this. Zhou Qin sent two packs of Chinese cigarettes as a thank you gift to show his sincerity.

  Before they had time to rest, the two of them drove the tractor non-stop to Lüzishan and returned to the same place where they arrived this morning.

  The snow hadn't completely melted, so it was very difficult to walk on foot. The surface of the frozen soil was covered with a layer of melting snow that made a crunching sound underfoot. The snow was melting extremely fast, and in just a short while, the surrounding snow had quickly turned into slushy water that seeped into the ground.

  Qin Feng carefully took out the compass and observed the surroundings, thinking of the four arrows marked on the map on the hill. Qin Feng looked around and indeed found four very conspicuous hills, arranged in different directions. Although he still didn't know what Liu Qi had done, Qin Feng guessed that there must be a mystery behind this.
