Chapter 56: Strengthening the Five Senses
"By the way, Du Ruo, I heard that many places on the mountain have recently replaced more advanced infrared cameras. Don't just take off your pants and take a bath when you see a ditch when you go up the mountain."
At the dinner table, Yang Chenguang looked at Du Ruo with a smile on his face. His words were teasing, but more importantly, he was reminding Du Ruo.
He didn't know why Du Ruo often went up the mountain. There must be some secret. However, there was nothing illegal in the mountain, so he never investigated it further.
"How much did you pack?"
Du Ruo was stunned. He had never thought about this.
"I don't know how many there are. I heard from village officials in other villages that it's closer to the research institute, which is quite far from us. It is said that they found traces of a pregnant female clouded leopard there, and they wanted to take some pictures."
Yang Chenguang took a big sip of cold beer and burped.
"That's good. I didn't really pay much attention the first two times."
Du Ruo was a little embarrassed and held up the wine glass to hide the expression on his face. He did not take off his clothes to take a shower on the mountain, but he did beat up Yunbao. While drinking, his mind kept thinking about whether there were any cameras or the like on his route up the mountain.
"Forget it, let's go check it out tomorrow. I don't know if the clouded leopard they're talking about is the same big cat? Or is it pregnant? I don't think I hit it in the stomach last time, and I didn't hurt it."
After thinking for a long time, Du Ruo still couldn't remember the specific things. Who would pay attention to this thing when they were on the mountain? However, Du Ruo was more concerned about whether the clouded leopard last time was the one Yang Chenguang mentioned.
The clouded leopard is not only a national first-class protected animal, but also the most precious and rare animal in Huangshan. As a local, Du Ruo does not want it to be harmed, so he finally decides to go up the mountain early tomorrow morning.
As for whether Du Ruo would be photographed, he didn't really care. As a martial artist, it was reasonable for him to take bigger steps and run faster. Du Ruo was not flying in the mountains.
"Tsk, drinking beer in this weather is really comfortable, but drinking too much will make your stomach bloated."
Xiang Yuanyuan drank half a cup in one breath, then leaned lazily back in the chair, not caring about her image at all. She breathed a sigh of relief and continued chatting with Du Ruo.
"Boss Du, the video I took of you has been edited. Do I need to show it to you before uploading it?"
"No need, there's nothing to hide."
Du Ruo is very casual. Nowadays, every person on the Internet is a grandmaster. Others would just say that Du Ruo is just a show-off. He might not be as eye-catching as someone else throwing a prop brick.
"What? Du Ruo, you're still shooting videos? Are you going to be an internet celebrity? When you become famous, remember to help promote me."
Yang Chenguang became interested. These days, everyone has their own media. Even he himself has started a live broadcast to sell tea, but he just has few fans. He actually approached Xiang Yuanyuan, but she didn't want to do a live broadcast so he refused.
Xiang Yuanyuan shoots videos just as a hobby, to record life, not for making money.
"What are you promoting? After you become famous, of course I will start a live broadcast to help you sell kiwis, hahahaha!!!"
Du Ruo started laughing first as he spoke.
"There is also tea. Don't worry, it is definitely produced in the village. It is safe and has no additives."
……
The three of them drank until very late in the evening. There was no other way. There were a lot of people yesterday. Yang Chenguang needed to watch on the scene, and he also had to arrange someone to clean up at the end. Du Ruo was drafted into the army and had to accompany them.
Yang Chenguang stopped drinking after two bottles of beer, but Xiang Yuanyuan and Du Ruo kept drinking. Xiang Yuanyuan drank beer just like water, and Du Ruo's alcohol tolerance increased after his "spirit" attribute breakthrough. Anyway, they drank until 10:30 pm when the movie ended and the people in the square dispersed, and the drinking party of the three of them ended.
In the end, Du Ruo helped move some things and then went back to rest.
The next morning, Du Ruo took a piece of beef from the refrigerator and ran up the mountain.
Du Ruo paid special attention along the way, but did not find any cameras or the like. Du Ruo also specially checked the infrared cameras used in the wild last night. They were quite large. Because they were used to photograph wild animals, they did not do too much cover.
He walked all the way to the familiar boulder and found nothing along the way. However, he found some traces of Huangshan short-tailed monkeys through cameras.
But all monkeys look the same, so Du Ruo didn't bring kiwis this time. After taking a look from a distance, Du Ruo continued to look for traces of the clouded leopard near the boulder.
Standing on the boulder, Du Ruo looked around, hoping to find some clues about the clouded leopard, but unfortunately he found nothing. He only found some hair on the pine tree next to the boulder, proving that the clouded leopard might have been here recently.
Suddenly, Du Ruo had an idea in his mind. He remembered that when he put "Qi" on his palm, it could protect his palm and increase his strength at the same time. So, could he apply "Qi" to his five senses?
Du Ruo tried it and found that the "Qi" in Du Ruo's body was usually very quiet. It would only flow in the body when Du Ruo was exercising or practicing martial arts. However, as long as Du Ruo needed it, the Qi could reach anywhere Du Ruo wanted with just a thought.
Du Ruo gathered the "Qi" on his ears, but found that it did not bring any amplification. The "Qi" wrapped around his ears, and it seemed that it could only strengthen the protection of the ears.
"It's useless? Or am I doing something wrong?"
Du Ruo thought about it and focused all his mind on his ears, manipulating the flow of Qi in the acupuncture points near his ears, hoping that more precise manipulations would strengthen and amplify his ears.
After several consecutive experiments of manipulating Qi with all his body and mind, they all yielded no results. Just when Du Ruo wanted to give up, he felt a cool sensation. Du Ruo felt that the sound of the wind and the friction of leaves in the forest became louder and clearer, and at the same time, sounds from farther away also entered his ears.
"Is this a thought? The effect of divine attributes?"
Du Ruo's heart moved, and he tried to slowly withdraw the "qi", but as the "qi" was withdrawn, the cool feeling at the acupoints near his ears weakened, and the sound in his ears also began to get smaller.
Du Ruo increased the circulation of "qi", the cooling sensation intensified, the sounds in his ears became louder, and it was obvious that he could hear more clearly and from farther away.
Du Ruo withdrew all the Qi from the acupoints in the ear, and the sound he heard returned to what it was before. Then Du Ruo began to move the "Qi" to the acupoints around the eyes.
Du Ruo had already experienced that "Qi" was very magical, lying between reality and illusion. It circulated in the body without causing any damage to the body's organs. That was why he dared to conduct such a bold experiment.
The operation is not complicated. The "Qi" protects the acupoints, the "Shen" provides blessings, and then the eyes are strengthened. Du Ruo quickly became proficient.
"I didn't expect to have such an unexpected gain. It's not a loss to come here this time."
Du Ruo sometimes strengthened his hearing and sometimes strengthened his vision, and he had a lot of fun.
“Hehe~~ Meow!!!”
Just when Du Ruo had almost finished playing and had used his hearing to the maximum, a subtle sound mixed with the sound of the wind entered Du Ruo's ears.
