Wan Lin saw Xie Chao running back, reached out and took the telescope and flashlight in Xiaoya's hand, followed by a glance at the mobile phone in her hand and asked in a low voice, "Is there no signal yet?" Xiaoya glanced down, shook her head with a wry smile, and replied in a low voice: "No, let's take our mobile phones to the mountainside to take a look, we haven't got in touch with Li Tou for a few days, I'm afraid he should be in a hurry again."

The three of them then walked out of the courtyard and towards a dense forest on the side of the cliff. After a while, Xie Chao also chased after him from the forest behind him with a large backpack.

Xie Chao walked to Xiao Jiu in front of him, led the way for Wan Lin and the two side by side, and turned his head to Wan Lin and Xiao Ya behind him as he walked: "You follow our footsteps, this secret passage is close to the top of the mountain, and there are traps set up around it, if you don't pay attention to it, you may be injured, you must be careful."

Wan Lin hurriedly agreed, reached out and grabbed Xiaoya's finger and touched his feet. Xiao Ya nodded, knowing that Wan Lin was reminding herself to pay attention to the dim point of light under her feet, she hurriedly lowered her head and looked at the feet of Xie Chao and the others in front of her.

The dim woodland is flickering with small inconspicuous points of light, which are mixed with the light coming in from the canopy and leaves, and are mottled on the woodland covered with fallen leaves, which is difficult to spot without paying attention.

Xiao Ya looked at the light spot in front of her and said secretly in her heart: "These extremely faint imprints, I don't know if they were naturally formed, or were they arranged by the Lingxiu Sect disciples themselves?" Outsiders don't know these paths into the mountain, and it's really hard to get close to this hidden place."

She pondered in her heart, seeing that the two of them had opened a distance of dozens of meters from Xie Chao in front of them, and the figure was already shadowy in the dark forest, she hurriedly pulled Wan Lin to speed up her pace and chased after Xie Chao and the two in front.

At this time, Xie Chao and the two of them in front of them walked quickly, and it seemed that they didn't look at the secret marks under their feet in the dim forest. Wan Lin and the others understood that they often went down the mountain from the secret passage in the forest, and they were already familiar with the terrain in the forest, even if they closed their eyes, they would not deviate from the secret passage and lose their way.

The light in the dense forest is getting dimmer and dim, and the thick larches drill straight up, and the dense canopy has blocked the brilliant sunlight in the air, only some dim light shines into the forest from the gaps in the canopies, shining a pale yellow light and shadow between the dense tree trunks.

On the way, Xiao Jiu muttered about the five poison-removing holy products that the Wan family gave to the old master, and told himself about the young master.

After hearing this, Xie Chao gratefully turned his head and glanced at the two people behind him, and when his eyes swept over Xiao Ya's pretty face, a bright light flashed in his eyes, but then he saw Wan Lin's hand tightly holding the girl's little hand, he seemed to be stunned for a moment, and a look of disappointment immediately flashed on his face, and he quickly turned his head and walked forward silently.

Wan Lin held Xiao Ya's soft little hand and followed behind Xie Chao, and when he saw the disappointed look on Xie Chao's face, he squeezed Xiao Ya's hand vigorously, and a look of pride appeared on his face.

Xiao Ya turned her head to look at him, leaned gently towards Wan Lin's side, and her eyes were full of happiness. The two knew in their hearts that the old head of the family had proposed to marry several times, and he must have taken a fancy to Xiaoya's outstanding skills and beautiful face, so they wanted to propose marriage to the young head of Lingxiumen.

At this time, Xiao Jiu in front had already told Xie Chao everything that happened in the wooden house, Xie Chao's face showed a look of disappointment, obviously knowing that Xiao Ya was not Wan Lin's own sister, but a pair of lovers who loved each other, and he was completely hopeless.

When a few people came out of the cold dense forest, the sun had already risen above the heads of several people, and the mountains and fields were bathed in warm sunlight. Xiao Ya took a few breaths of fresh air comfortably, and then exhaled it for a long time.

A few people walked in the dense forest for a few hours, the forest was cold and damp, and the air was filled with a faint smell of rotting leaves.

She took a deep breath as she turned her head to look around. At the foot of the mountain on the side, a blue lake, like a huge blue gem, lies quietly in the verdant and majestic mountains, and there is no ripple on the water surface, like a huge light blue mirror, reflecting the surrounding mountains and bamboos.

Xiao Ya looked at Wan Lin beside her in astonishment, and saw that there was a look of surprise in his eyes. The scene in front of them was completely different from the lake they had seen when they came yesterday.

Neither of them understood how the mysterious long sword that they saw on the surface of the lake yesterday suddenly disappeared?

Xiao Ya hurriedly looked around, and then realized that when she came yesterday, she saw the lake from the other side of the mountain, and now they are standing on the other side of the mountain, and the angle is different, so the scenery of the reflection on the lake is also completely different.

At this time, Wan Lin also laughed, obviously also noticed that this hillside was at a different angle from when he saw the lake yesterday, so he couldn't see the giant sword and goshawk reflected in the lake.

The two glanced at each other and smiled as they walked down the hill. At this time, Xie Chao and Xiao Jiu had already walked to a raised mountain rock on the hillside, and Xiao Jiu was turning around and greeting the two: "Big brother, big sister, come up, our young master is here to bring food."

Wan Lin and Xiao Ya hurriedly walked to the mountain rock in front, it was noon at this time, and the two of them heard the word "eat", and they really felt a little hungry.

The two climbed up the huge rock and saw that Xiao Jiu was already lying in a depression in the rock, and was lowering his head to light a bonfire. It turned out that when Xiao Jiu and Xie Chao came up, they had already picked up some dead pine branches that had fallen to the ground from the surroundings, and these oily pine branches burned very well, and in the blink of an eye, Xiao Jiu raised a pair of blazing bonfires.

Xie Chao smiled and beckoned the two to sit down, took off the backpack from his back and put it on the rock, reached out and took out a few bags made of animal skins from the backpack, and then took out four thick bamboo tubes.

Wan Lin and Xiao Ya looked at the things Xie Chao took out in amazement, I don't know what delicious food he brought? Xiao Jiu, who had just raised the fire, turned around and took the four bamboo tubes in Xie Chao's hand, then carefully stood on the edge of the bonfire, and then opened several animal skin bags, which turned out to contain pieces of dried meat of different colors, and the smell of meat was emerging from the bags.

Xie Chao picked up one of the bags of jerky, held it in front of Wan Lin and Xiaoya and said, "I wonder if you are used to eating?" This is our jerky from different prey, and you will taste it."

Wan Lin and Xiao Ya laughed, they often eat this kind of beast jerky, so they naturally like it very much, and this is also the food they often carry when they go out.
