    Senior Shuslowly counted. The ck corpse seemed to recognize our intention. Hesmirked and thenrushed toward us.Senior Shupanicked and screamed, Three!


    Immediately, we turned around and rolled down the slope. At the same time, an explosion sounded that shook my eardrums. Itleft me with buzzing ears for quite a long time.


    Having rolleddown a couple of dozen meters, I was finally able to pull to a full stop. I turnedto look inthe direction of the ck corpse.I was stunned to see that it was now a sea of fire.


    We''re lucky that you pulledmy arm. Thetaming masterinstalled dynamite into that ck corpse!Senior Shupointed at the gorge where we were standingon and spoke withfright. If therewasnta slope behind us, we would have beendeadtoday!


    I was bewildered, but soon, I knew the situation wasnt as simpleas itappeared. If thattaming masterdecided to denote the ck corpse from his hideout in the dark, it meant he must be around. He didnt want us to spot him.


    Im sure hes around, but we cant and shouldnt chase after him!


    Senior Shuread my mind.


    He also regretted it. Anyway, this ce is the border between China and Myanmar. If we move further, Im afraid wewillget ourselves in trouble.


    Myanmar had countlesstaming masters, and most of them lived in the depths of the mountain rangeson the border between the two countries.Senior Shus worries were necessary. However, I was unwilling to give up just yet. On the way back, I feltdepressed.


    Dont be down. Im sure thetaming masterwille to us within three days.Senior Shforted me.


    Are you his father? How do you know? I was somewhat mad.


    Senior Shuburst outughingand ppedthe back of my head. Were here and were blocking his way to fortune. Of course, hewould be even more worriedthan us!


    I had toadmitthatSenior Shualwayshada clearer picture of the situation thanme. Afterlistening to histheory, I felt atease. On the way back, we heard people screaming from the trapping pit.Senior Shuand I exchanged looks and the memorycameback to us.Baji and his hunters were still down there!


    We hade to save them,butthe tamed corpses distracted us. We hadpletely forgotten about them. Fortunately, the tamed corpses had just forced them to jump into the pit. Besidessome minor injuries, Baji and his team were all right.


    What happened? Baji askedas soon ashewas rescued. It seemed he knew that he was bewitchedearlier.


    I didntwaste time.Pointing at the white fox carcass, I told him about the situation, including the explosion caused by the ck corpse. In the end, I told them not togoto the mountain to do night watches anymore.


    No matter what, thetaming masternow wanted to take revengeonmyself andSenior Shu. Before we gotintothe final battle, we had to ensure thatthegraves on the mountain wouldnt be robbed again.


    Baji didnt leave. He asked, Is there anything we could help with?


    The other people around us also expressed their ideas. I didnt understand what they were saying. However, from their high spirits, it wasnt hard to guess that they wanted to fight shoulder by shoulder with us.


    Baji, you being safe and sound is the best support you can give us.


    I was touchedand lookedat those honest Achang people. You know, the difference betweenourtwo professions is as big as the valley between these mountains. You dont know our job. Im sorry, but you cant help us.


    Baji looked lost.However,he soon epted this fact. They lingered for a whilethendescended the mountain.


    After seeing Bajis team off, I askedSenior Shu, What should we do next?


    Senior Shuput on a stern faceand gave mea faint answer.Wait!


    Butisnt it a meaningless thing to do right now?


    I was speechless.Howcouldwe just wait? We should prepare something, right?


    Senior Shushook his head. We cant prepare for this. When thetaming mastees, hewillwatch us for a while before showing up. Hewillchoose the best chance to attack. Compared towastingour minds to prepare, its better to rest and recover our strength for the next battle.


    In thiskind of situation,Senior Shuhad never missed themark.I tried my best to calm down and returned to the hotel. AlthoughSenior Shusaid that we didnt need to prepare anything, he had adhered a few talismanstoour windows. While putting up the talismans, he said miserably, If my life-bound rat was still alive, wewouldn''t have beenin such a passive situation


    Ibecameemotional. After this case, Im sure we can find the Undead Grass to save the rat, grandpa!


    Except for those talismans, we didnt arrange anything else. However, we kept our life-protecting weapons within reachso thatwe could grab them at any time.


    I had used up the power of the Sirius Whip while dealing with the white corpse, and itwouldnt recover within ashorttime. I decided to putthe Sirius Whipinmy bag,the Emei Piercer on the nightstand, and the Yin and Yang Umbre next to me. I evenputa few talismans intomypockets. After preparing everything, Iiddown and slept.


    I had slept through the night and nothing strange had happened. When I woke up,Senior Shuwas still sleeping. I woke him up for a simple breakfast, thenwe wentto the most famous attraction in Tengchong,Heshun Ancient Town.


    The Heshun Ancient Town was built in the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the imperial court had sent the army regiments here to base, which also allowed the soldiers in the Central ins to marry and settle down in this area. After almost one thousand years of progress and umtion, this ce had be a nationwide famous ancient town. Not only was it famous for the beautiful ancient towers,but the most interesting feature of the town wasthe diversity of people living here. Theinner partof Heshun Ancient Town was builtingenuine Hanstyle, and many structures reflected the special features of ancient Chinese architecture. It was worthy of the title of cultural sacred ce.


    While wandering around the ce, I felt the spirit of the men from the Central ins leaving their hometowns to this border area to protect their country. This strong patriotic sentimentalongwith the nostalgia made every brick and tile of the path underneath our feet full of love for the mothend.


    If I can live until Imof old age, I will buy a house here, saidSenior Shu.


    Arent you still alive and kicking?Why would yousay something like that all of a sudden?


    You will knowter. There are some things you can avoid, andthere arealsosome thingsyou cannot.Senior Shupatted my shoulderand smiledfondly.


    I didnt feelfortable when he acted like that. People said thatfifty-year-old men could see the heavensdecision.Senior Shuwas older than fiftyyears already. Did he foresee something thathe wasnottellingme?


    I decided to ask him. However, he didnt say anything, andI had to give up that thought.


    In the afternoon, we went to the martyrs cemetery. This ce mainlymemorated the Kuomintangs soldiers who had sacrificed their lives during the war against the Japanese. It was also the first cityto berecovered during the Chinese War of Resistance.


    The Kuomintangs soldiers had cooperated with the local peopleand foughtbloody battles for almost four months before they finally wiped out the Japanese army to take the victory.


    Tengchongwasthe gatewayto SouthwestChina. Getting Tengchongwas of great importanceto the country. Looking at the historical photos that depicted the bony bodies of the soldiers, I felt their bold, patriotic spirit. They hadpersistently protected their mothend against the invaders. Thinking about a piece of news I had readthat insulted the soldiers, I felt somewhat lost.


    In fact, duringapeaceful time, soldiers had more difficulties to deal with than intimes ofwar. People nowadays thoughtthat the army hadbe a burden to the country!


    For three days in a row,Senior Shuand I traveled around Tengchong. After we had visited all the famous attractions, we hadnt seen thetaming masteryet. I became restless. Senior Shu, can we thinkof away to lure him out?


    Be patient. I have a feeling that he will take action tonight.


    Senior Shustroked his mustache. If he didnthave a serious expression, I wouldhave thoughtthat he was just joking!
