I went over to take a look, but didn't feel anything special. There were a lot of footprints. Who knew which one was special …
The eldest senior brother saw that I didn't see anything wrong, so he pointed at a spot and said, "Youngest junior brother, look here, this footprint is very strange. This footprint is only the tip of the foot, but it doesn't have a heel.
After listening to Eldest Senior Brother's explanation, I looked carefully and indeed saw something special. It was just as Eldest Senior Brother said, it was a footprint on the tiptoes, but what could a footprint mean?
However, the Eldest Senior Brother quickly explained my doubts, and said thoughtfully, "This person's footprints are very heavy, and they span is very big, and he was able to run so fast with a child around the age of eleven or twelve. Either this person is a practitioner, or he is a cultivator, there is absolutely no third possibility …"
With that, the eldest senior brother followed the footprints and found two more footprints. Looking carefully, it was indeed just as the eldest senior brother said, the distance between each step was indeed huge, and each step took him at least two meters. When he walked, the footprints were clearly deeper than when he came.
What makes me even more confused is that the eldest senior brother said that the person who kidnapped the child could be a practitioner or cultivator, which is a bit strange. What is this kind of person planning to do with an ordinary child?
The eldest senior brother probably doesn't know about this, so I didn't ask. But the eldest senior brother is already squatting on the ground and starting to dig with his hands.
After the eldest senior brother dug out that piece of soil, he brought out some snow from a ditch nearby that had not melted in time and mixed it with the dirt, rubbing it in his hands non-stop. Before long, the eldest senior brother made a small clay figurine in his hands.
F * ck, Eldest Senior Brother has the mood to have fun like this, using my cousin's piss and mud to play, and even made a clay doll. What the hell is going on?
I was about to ask when the eldest senior brother turned his head and asked, "Do you know about your cousin's birth date? Hurry up and tell me …"
Eldest senior brother asked this and I instantly understood. Eldest senior brother is using a magic technique to look for the shadow of my younger cousin.
Fortunately, I remembered the name of my cousin and immediately told him about it.
The Eldest Senior Brother placed the clay figure on the ground and then took out a blank talisman made of yellow paper. He cut his finger and used his own blood to write the words' my younger cousin's birthday 'on the talisman made of yellow paper, and then drew some runes and chanted an incantation: "Heaven and Earth Mysterious Sect, The Foundation of Myriad Qi; light tribulation, the witness to my supernatural powers.
Once the incantation was finished, the yellow paper talisman in Eldest Senior Brother's hand flashed with a golden light and stuck onto the clay figure. The clay figure moved slightly, as if it had come to life.
Looking at the miraculous scene, I couldn't help but to ask curiously, "Eldest senior brother, what kind of ability is this?" Is there a record of this in the Yin Yang Dao Scripture? "
"Of course there is, you'll see it in the future, this technique is called Thousand Mile Tracking Art, it was created by our Master without any real people, but it's very limited, and it requires the hair of the person we're looking for as a trigger, so we can start tracking it down. Now, after using this mud man to reinforce the technique, we can determine the general direction of all the people we're looking for, and then we can take this mud man and search in the indicated direction. As we're closer, the feeling will become more obvious, however, we don't have much time left, only one day and one night, if we can't find someone within one day, then we definitely won't be able to continue this technique for so long."
Hearing eldest senior brother's words, a glimmer of hope appeared in my heart. I hastily urged him, "Eldest senior brother, hurry up. Let's first determine the direction before we speak any further …"
The eldest senior brother nodded and sat cross-legged on the ground. He made a few hand signs and chanted another incantation. Three to five minutes later, the eldest senior brother opened his eyes and pointed in a direction and said, "Directly south …"
Immediately, the eldest senior brother stood up and hurriedly said, "Let's go home to get the magic tools. Maybe we'll have to fight with someone …"
I chased after him and asked, "Eldest senior brother, is my cousin far from us?"
"It's hard to say. I should be hundreds of miles away by now …"
With that, Big Senior and I returned home, picked up our backpacks, and headed out. Since Big Senior said that my cousin was already hundreds of miles away, it meant that the person who kidnapped my cousin must have come in a car. Even if it was a cultivator, they wouldn't be able to take a child and travel a hundred miles within two to three hours.
At this moment, I remembered that my fourth uncle had a car. He was working outside, and he had just bought a used car last year. Although the car was not a good one, it was still better than us walking around.
My fourth uncle went out with Second Uncle and the others to look for the children, but he didn't drive. I told my wife that I was going to look for my cousin to show him the keys, and Fourth Aunt gave me the keys without saying a word.
When I was in college, I worked very hard and saved up some money, so I learned a driver's license and knew how to drive.
At that moment, I started the car and headed due south with eldest senior brother.
The eldest senior brother sat on the front seat, holding his breath and not saying a word. He held the clay doll in his hand as if he was sensing my cousin's aura.
I only have one day and one night, so it's extremely urgent. If I can't find my cousin, then I'll really lose him. I drive really fast, and this second-hand lousy Sharly feels like he's about to fall apart.
I didn't actually go in that direction, but there was still a way to go there. After driving for almost two hours, eldest senior brother opened his eyes and pointed me in a direction, telling me to go in that direction.
As we drove on, there were no flat roads in front of us. Instead, there were some dirt roads filled with broken rocks that led towards an unknown direction. I was somewhat puzzled, who was the person that kidnapped my cousin, and why did he bring him into the depths of the mountains and forests?
