Chapter 16 There is a lake in the mountains, and there are mountains in the lake

The night breeze sent an extremely subtle sound from a distance, and Li Xuanxin followed quietly behind, as early as when he just jumped out of the window, Li Xuanxin wrapped his shoes in rags.

He didn't have the cultivation of 'refining the truth', and the speed of the true yuan in the body made him unable to land silently. He didn't dare to get too close, but luckily his sense of the wind kept him firmly behind the two of them. This made him happy but also a little frightened, if he let others know that he had such a talent, I am afraid that everyone would have palpitations.

This made him firm in his mind that he must never tell anyone about it!

Under the dark night sky, the three figures were advancing in the city, and Li Xuanxin followed Xue Jinnan and the man in black around the city for nearly an hour, and the speed of the two gradually slowed down. Eventually stop in a deep alley not far from the city gates. Not long after the two men stopped, two figures came out of the alley again, one of them was also wearing a night suit, and the other was an old woman with a disheveled head, holding a half-human high snake-headed staff, and her appearance was hideous and terrifying.

The men whispered something in the alley again, then looked around, and flew away into the alley together.

Li Xuanxin stopped at the corner of a street not far from the alley, just so that no one could find it. After seeing Xue Jinnan and the four of them leave together, he was still ready to wait a while before following, after all, he was still a little immature compared to these experienced old rivers and lakes, and he didn't know what other means these people had. And as long as it's not too far away, with the perception of the wind, you won't lose it.

Just when Li Xuanxin was about to follow again, a figure appeared again at the meeting place of Xue Jinnan's four people before, the figure was dressed in white, which was extremely eye-catching in the dark night, he turned his head to look at the wall at the edge of the alley, then shook his head slightly, strode forward, and disappeared.

Li Xuanxin's pupils shrank at this moment, and it was not until this time, following the eyes of the man in white, that he noticed that there was a shallow mark on the wall where Xue Jinnan and the four of them met at some point. The mark was extremely inconspicuous, if it weren't for the man in white, Li Xuanxin wouldn't have found it at all.

Li Xuanxin began to hesitate a little in his heart, it seemed that this plan had exceeded his expectations, and the man in white definitely didn't look simple. Just a momentary hesitation, Li Xuanxin once again strengthened his thoughts, compared to Fang Shouxin's subsequent assassination, these people in front of him seemed insignificant.

If Shen Wan's injuries are not healed, the next road to Luodu may be ten deaths.

Thinking of this, Li Xuanxin no longer had the slightest hesitation and slowly followed, but this time he pulled the distance further.

Half an hour later, Li Xuanxin came to a place where the mountain and the city wall meet, and a crack in the mountain that could allow people to pass sideways suddenly appeared, and some fresh soil was scattered on the ground.

With the experience of the previous two times, Li Xuanxin waited in a hidden place again, but fortunately there were no accidents this time, just when Li Xuanxin was about to feel the movement in the distance, he decisively got up and entered the mountain crack.

After a short period of deep darkness, Li Xuanxin felt the caress of the wind again, and as expected, it was already outside the city, Li Xuanxin was a little surprised to find that a shallow orange had appeared in the sky in the distance, and it seemed that the dawn was not far away.

Different from the inside of the city, even at night outside the city, the roars of various insects, jackals and beasts are endless, which makes people sigh again at the sinister nature of Mangtang Mountain.

Outside the city, a few people in front of him seemed to gradually relax their vigilance, Li Xuanxin still followed at the most extreme distance, and the cool wind blew some trivial words from time to time, but the distance was a little far away, and I couldn't hear it clearly.

Time faded with the white of the fish belly gradually rising in the sky, and the darkness gradually turned into darkness, Li Xuanxin followed more carefully, and at the same time made marks along the way that only he knew, he had not walked this road, and the dense forest was the most disorienting place.

Less than a month after leaving the barracks, Li Xuanxin finally knew how much the teachings of General Yu Mingchun and his military career had helped him so much that he could better survive in danger.

The sky gradually began to brighten, and Li Xuanxin had to distance himself from the people in front of him again, but fortunately, it seemed that at this moment, the people in front of him were not so cautious and careful, and there were already a lot of traces left in the places they passed. Although it is extremely subtle, Li Xuanxin has had a scout career in the Jiannan Army, and he can still find some clues, combined with the perception brought to him by the breeze, he will not be lost.

When the orange in the east was even more red and the sky was completely bright, before Xue Jinnan and the four of them came to a lake, the lake was extremely vast, and it was hard to imagine that there could be such a place in the mountains, and in the center of the lake, there was a small island towering, and there was a mountain rising from the ground on the island, and the mountain was almost as big as the island, but there was a shallow circle bordering the lake around it.

At this moment, Xue Jinnan and the four of them had already arrived at the shore, and the two black-clothed people had also removed their night clothes, which were the two who had conspired in the tea shop that day, and the four of them whispered a few times, and finally reached an agreement in the disgruntled cold snort of the goosebump-haired old woman.

The old woman came to the lake with a gloomy face, and stretched the hideous snake-headed staff in her hand into the water. I saw that on the snake staff, the snake head with a huge mouth full of fangs seemed to come to life, and the two eyes emitted a subtle scarlet light, and the red light rose and shrank, and streams of bright red, blood-like things rippled out of the nearby water, which went away with the waves and spread rapidly.

About a stick of incense passed, a man wearing a hat and a cloak drooped his head slightly and drove two small boats towards the shore. Before he could reach the shore, the man in the cloak stomped his foot, and a small boat flew like an arrow from a string, and at the same time the man swung the pole in his hand, and the boat under his feet went in the other direction at a faster speed, without the slightest intention of going ashore.

Xue Jinnan and the four of them glanced at each other, and then without saying a word, they stepped onto the boat one after another, one of the black-clothed people picked up the pole, and the boat slowly rowed towards the island in the center of the lake.

Li Xuanxin quietly watched the boat carrying four people sailing towards the island in an overgrown bush, he didn't make any movement, the mysterious man in white hadn't appeared yet, he wouldn't rush out, so as not to become a praying mantis in the mouth of the yellow finch.

Time passed little by little, and the small boat finally arrived at the shallows on the outskirts of the island, and Xue Jinnan and the four of them got off the boat and dragged the boat to the island, and then ran towards the mountain, and soon disappeared.

After a while, a small boat suddenly appeared on the lake again, and I saw a man in white standing on the bow of the boat with a pole in his hand, and the man who had been wearing a lily robe was lying on his back on the boat at this moment, his eyes were wide open, and a huge blood hole appeared in the center of his eyebrows, and he actually died.

The man in white was calm, like playing in the mountains and rivers, without the slightest hint of nervousness. Li Xuanxin looked at the back of the man in white, and suddenly felt great pressure in his heart, if this person did not appear, Li Xuanxin would have great confidence to take the blood of the Jiazi Beast from the hands of Xue Jinnan and the four of them, and then leave.

Sure enough, nothing can be done without twists and turns!

Li Xuanxin was still waiting quietly in place, after seeing that the man in white had also gone to the island. He quickly got up from the ground and walked towards the woods beside him.

On the way to last night, he had already memorized the nearby terrain and environment, and there was a small bamboo in the woods not far away, which he had decided to use when he saw the lake.

He drew his knife and cut down a dozen thick bamboos as fast as he could, then took them to the lake, and used tough vines to entangle them with the clothes he had specially put on, and fixed the bamboo to make a simple bamboo raft.

Li Xuanxin lowered the bamboo raft into the water, then jumped on the bamboo raft and slowly pushed towards the island. In fact, the island is not very far from the shore, if it is a cultivator of the second realm, I am afraid that it can be easily boarded after a few breaths, but a few people here do not have a second realm cultivation. And from this point, it can also be roughly inferred that the man in white is not the existence of the second realm, which makes Li Xuanxin feel a little relieved.

Although he had also fought against Xuan Thirteen in the second realm, it was when Xuan Thirteen was forced by Shen Wan to be injured and fall into the realm, even so, it almost made him go and never return. If he was a normal Second Realm cultivator, the only thing Li Xuanxin could do was to run as far as he could.

A moment later, Li Xuanxin landed on the island, he dismantled the bamboo raft, and threw more than a dozen bamboos to the hidden place on the island at will. Then the boat carrying Xue Jinnan's four people was carved out of the bottom with a knife and covered with fishing nets on the front. Finally, he stood there and frowned, and laboriously dragged the man in white's boat to another hidden part of the island, hidden among the dense aquatic weeds at the edge of the lake.

He wiped the Han on his forehead, and prepared to go into the mountain to look for the traces of Xue Jinnan and a few people, the mountain in front of him was not big, and he didn't worry about whether he could find it.

Just as he was about to climb the mountain, there was a roar of a beast in the distance, followed by several extremely angry shouts, mixed with the rumble of the boulder falling to the ground and scattering.

Li Xuanxin's eyes changed, and he sped up and rushed to the place where the sound came from, and when he struggled over a boulder, the scene in front of him made his eyelids jump. I saw that in a small valley, a bloodied beast was frantically attacking the remaining three people, and one of the men in black had fallen in front of a dark cave, and his body was about to be broken in two.

The man in white stood in a hidden corner with his hands behind his back, watching the fight below for a long time, smiling and nodding from time to time, his eyes full of mockery.
