Start practicing archery

Chapter 47 Dead Man
Ever since Xiang Tingchun announced his plan for the beginning of next spring, the military discipline of the Qianhu Suo has become much stricter.

Daily training is doubled, and leave is required in advance before leaving the camp.

Even the centurions were not allowed to eat, drink and have fun all day long, and had to follow the training.

But the military households were all very obedient.

Because they have achieved a life of having enough food and warm clothing.

People who pursue martial arts can also drink more blood-replenishing soup to improve their martial arts.

For ten consecutive days, Chen Sanshi practiced martial arts in the military settlement.

[Kung Fu: Basic Spear Skills for Soldiers (Minor Success)]

[Progress: 550/2000)]

[Effect: Swift spear force, amazing endurance, strong blood, and strange blood phenomena]

The tiger heart and tiger meat had already been eaten, and the Nine-Turn Blood-Replenishing Soup was also drunk clean. Fortunately, his proficiency had greatly improved.

It is also much cheaper to buy medicinal materials.

The Nine-Turn Blood-Replenishing Soup is also available in the military camp, and it only costs fifteen taels of silver.

But it's still a waste of money.

"Going hunting again."

"It's a bottomless pit!"

If it weren't for practicing martial arts, Chen Sanshi would probably have become a wealthy man long ago.

"White Deer!"

If you hunt a white deer, you can sell it for several hundred taels after deducting the portion you use.

Not only are there enough resources for small success in blood training, but there is also almost enough resources for bone training.

But this white deer is not so easy to catch.

"Travels in Mountains and Rivers" was written thousands of years ago. After it was written, countless people rushed to the Hutou Mountains to capture it. It was considered a good thing that it was not extinct.

He asked around and it seemed that Tailei Martial Arts School had been searching for half a month but couldn't find it.

Chen Sanshi came to the pharmacy and asked: "Is there any Ganoderma lucidum for sale in the military camp?"

White deer likes to eat Baozhi.

Doctor Jiang quickly found a brown Ganoderma from the storeroom and said, "Twenty-year-old black Ganoderma, grind it into powder and add it to the soup to increase the effect of the soup. Ten taels of silver."

"Anything fresh?"

Chen Sanshi looked at the Ganoderma lucidum and found that it had obviously been dried for a long time.

"Oh, you're lucky, there really is one."

Doctor Jiang took out another box, which contained a fiery red Ganoderma lucidum. "This was sent by Yunhe Martial Arts School this morning. It's a thirty-year-old Tongyun Ganoderma lucidum, worth twenty taels. But it's for healing, not for improving Qi and blood."

Chen Sanshi said, "It's okay, as long as it's Baozhi."

"Baozhi?"

Doctor Jiang shook his head and said, "It has to be at least a hundred years old. One plant is worth fifty taels. A twenty-year-old Ganoderma lucidum is not considered a treasure. We don't have such an expensive herb at the moment. You have to go out and buy it."

"Fifty taels?"

Chen Sanshi was shocked by the price.

The bait alone is worth fifty taels, and it may not be enough to catch the white deer.

It was because the reward offered by Tailei Martial Arts School was extremely high that the group of disciples were willing to spend a huge amount of money to capture him.

At the moment, Chen Sanshi really can't come up with so much money.

He planned to try his luck first, and think of another way if it didn't work.

After making the decision, Chen Sanshi asked for leave from Wang Zhi and left the military camp carrying his bow and arrow.

"Stone!"

When passing by Yanbian Village, Zhao Qiao caught up with him.

"Uncle Zhao, you didn't go hunting in the mountains?"

Chen Sanshi was a little surprised.

When the cold winter comes to the north, the mountains will be blocked by heavy snow, making it difficult to find anything.

Hunters should be most diligent in late autumn.

Zhao Qiao said with a bitter face: "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I don't dare!"

"Don't you dare?"

Chen Sanshi asked: "What's going on? Is someone bullying you?"

"It's the Wushen Cult!"

There was anger and fear in Zhao Qiao's tone: "In the past ten days, people have disappeared in the countryside every day, especially hunters from surrounding villages. Many of them have not returned after going up the mountain."

"Uncle Zhao, are you sure?"

Chen Sanshi said solemnly: "I personally participated in the task of rounding up the Jinzhong Temple before. Ninety-nine percent of the Wushen followers were killed on the spot. Even if there were one or two that slipped through the net, they would never be able to cause trouble again.

"Could it be that some giant insects or black bears have come down the mountain to eat people?" "Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Qiao said excitedly: "There is no body, you know, Stone, even the body can't be found! Even if it is a big insect, there should be some bones left!"

"Uncle Zhao, don't get excited."

Chen Sanshi comforted him, "Have you reported it to the police?"

"I reported it, why didn't you report it?"

Zhao Qiao said, "The county magistrate said he would investigate and told us to wait, but it has been useless so far. Just yesterday, Xiao Li from the next village ventured up the mountain to hunt a pheasant for his pregnant wife, and there has been no news since then!"

Chen Sanshi frowned.

Even if there really are still one or two followers of the Witch God, it is impossible for them to cause such a big commotion.

There is obviously another group of people!

Is Jinzhong Temple just one of them?

But it doesn't make sense for so many people to sneak into Poyang at the same time.

Moreover, in recent days, he had not heard that the military camp had dispatched people to investigate and arrest the witch god cultists.

"Uncle Zhao, don't worry."

Chen Sanshi said: "I will report this to my superiors after I return."

"There's one more thing."

Zhao Qiao was a little embarrassed, but still said, "Shi Tou, can you let us follow you up the mountain?
"Winter is coming soon, and we haven't found charcoal or winter clothes yet. But with the current situation, how can we dare to go up the mountain? You know martial arts, and you can even kill big insects. We are not afraid to follow you."

It seemed that he had been waiting on this road for a long time.

It might even take several days before you finally have the chance to go out hunting.

"of course can."

Chen Sanshi agreed readily.

"Thank you Stone."

Zhao Qiao was a little speechless.

A month ago, the other party came to his door with food and asked him to take it to Erchong Mountain.

A month later, he in turn needed the boy's protection.

Soon, Zhao Qiao called Wu Da and Zhuang Yi over, and the four of them went up the mountain together.

It was still at that creek that the people parted ways.

Chen Sanshi said, "Uncle Zhao, if you are in danger, just fire a whistle arrow. I will come over immediately after I hear it."

"Good stone, you should be careful too, although... we can't help you much."

Zhao Qiao said.

Chen Sanshi turned around and went into the forest.

Isn’t it a bit too exaggerated that so many people died?
It made him a little nervous.

However, after walking two miles forward, I didn't find anything wrong.

There are still many martial arts disciples hunting.

The people from Tailei Martial Arts School are still looking for the white deer.

"Go back and tell Captain Wang to help investigate."

Chen Sanshi concentrated his attention and began to look for the trace of the white deer.

Unlike before, no matter whether it was a big tiger or a black bear, Uncle Zhao would point out the general direction.

This time I have to rely on myself. Even if I try to find a trace, it will probably be very troublesome.

After all, the book does not record where the white deer lives, and the Hutou Mountains stretch for thousands of miles, so it would take a lot of time to find it.

"Look deeper."

Most deer like to live in deep and secluded places.

White deer are also deer, so their habits may not be much different.

Chen Sanshi began to cross mountains and rivers.

Until the afternoon, he had climbed over two hills and still hadn't seen any trace of the white deer. However, the trees and vegetation became increasingly dense, and there was almost no place to step.

Looking into the distance, you can see a valley five miles ahead, quiet and deep.

"Go and see."

Chen Sanshi took a deep breath and ran quickly, ready to go in and investigate.

Before they could get close, several disciples in long robes rushed out and formed a human wall to block their way.

"stop!"

"No more going forward!"
