Volume 2: Longteng Xijing Chapter 271: Diving the Dammed Lake
Suddenly, Lu Yao thought of a place, maybe that place was just right to deal with this monster with four horns, even if he defeated it, at least he could ensure that his life was safe.
Do what you want, Lu Yao saw the opportunity, rushed towards the four-horned beast, and hit its head with a punch, that guy is indeed difficult, it seemed to have predicted Lu Yao's intentions in advance, and the two horns shook violently, and rushed Lu Yao over.
"It's now!" Lu Yao was secretly happy in his heart, saw the other party's horns and suddenly loosened his fist, grabbed the horns of the four-horned beast, and swung his body out of a long distance with his flick, and when the beast reacted, the distance between the two was at least seventy or eighty meters.
Lu Yao didn't want to think about it, and ran towards the back of the mountain without looking back, because he knew that he had encountered a dammed lake formed by a landslide there before, where there was a full seven or eight meters deep lake water, Lu Yao was thirsty, tired and dirty because of climbing the mountain before, and finally took a happy bath there, and then caught two wild fish from the lake and burned them by the way, maybe because everything people eat when they are hungry and anxious, this meal of fish is the most fragrant one that Lu Yao eats in his memory, and there is no one.
Lu Yao guessed that this four-horned beast was extremely fast and good at fire attack, at that time, the distance between the two was too close, and it was too late for Lu Yao to run, so he thought of using his strength to get rid of each other, so that the distance between the two could be stretched to a safe enough distance, and water is the nemesis of fire, and fire will be extinguished when it meets water, Lu Yao thought of this out of the dammed lake, wanting to avoid the other party's pursuit.
What's even more fortunate is that this dammed lake is not far from the place where Lu Yao and the four-horned beast fought, even if the four-horned beast ran fast, Lu Yao had enough time to escape there, as soon as Lu Yao arrived at the lake, a fish jumped into the lake and dived deeply.
As soon as Lu Yao's front foot entered the dammed lake, the four-horned beast had already chased to the shore, but it was indeed afraid of the lake, so it had to run back and forth on the shore to find Lu Yao's figure.
Martial arts practitioners are free to hold their breath, Lu Yao's breath-holding kung fu is even better, he hid underwater to see every move of the four-horned beast on the shore clearly, seeing that the other party would be helpless for a while and a half, his heart was also much more stable, but he didn't dare to be careless, so he could only continue to stay underwater, not daring to show his head.
The four-horned beast stayed on the shore for more than an hour, and did not see the other party surface, so it spat a few mouthfuls of fire into the water in anger, and then waved its wings and flew away.
Lu Yao saw the four-horned beast leaving through the water, but he still didn't dare to be careless, and continued to hide under the water for another half an hour before he dared to get out of the water, and slowly swam towards the shore when he was sure it was safe.
This time there was no danger, Lu Yao was also exhausted, lying on the shore and resting for more than an hour, before he gradually recovered his physical strength, when he finished practicing [Pure Heart Decision] and [Dragon Breath Gong], the sky had become dark, and the stars in the sky were constantly blinking at him like a naughty child.
"Master, do you recognize what kind of monster this four-horned beast is?" After Lu Yao finished his cultivation, he immediately called his master to leave the territory in the sea of knowledge and asked.
"This kind of alien beast is unheard of even in ancient times, judging from the strength it shows, it should contain a huge amount of energy in its body, but I can't feel a little vitality and energy breath from its body." Lijiang said thoughtfully.
"Master, what do you mean by that? If there is no life, is it not a dead thing, but is it? Lu Yao didn't know how to express his doubts, and his words about leaving Xinjiang really made him unbelievable.
"It's really incredible, and I can't see through it." This is the first time that he has shown such a appearance.
"By the way, I felt very strange underwater just now, there was a sense of déjà vu, you dive down again, let me feel it, and see if I can find some clues." Lijiang suddenly changed his words and said.
"Master......"
Lu Yao didn't expect such a thing, and wanted to ask again, but Lijiang shook his head and didn't let him continue to ask.

The first snow of the year in Xinlu Province came much earlier than in previous years, especially the provincial capital Xindu is full of beautiful scenery covered in silver, and there are few pedestrians on the streets, even if there are occasionally two or three, they are all tightly wrapped in clothes and wearing cotton hats in a hurry.
Only a middle-aged man wearing a thin trench coat and a snow-white hat like snowflakes in the sky walked very slowly, occasionally stopping to look at the neon around him, like a child who had not seen the world, and always had to take a few more glances when he saw something new.
I walked for more than an hour, until I came to the door of a hut with a single courtyard on the outskirts of the new city, and then I stopped and knocked lightly on the courtyard door.
After a while, the courtyard door slowly opened from the inside, revealing a small slit, a little boy with a tiger head poked his head out, looked around, when he saw the middle-aged man standing at the door, he asked in a milky voice: "Who are you, who are you looking for here?" ”
"I'm looking for a gentleman surnamed Lan, I wonder if Mr. Lan can meet conveniently?" The middle-aged man smiled and touched the top of the little boy's head and said.
"Grandpa is very tired today, he has rested, there is something to come back tomorrow!" The little boy didn't like others to touch his head, and he was a little dissatisfied with the middle-aged man's behavior, and said angrily.
The middle-aged man was not angry at the little boy's appearance, but smiled and took out a letter from his arms, shook it in front of the little boy, and said: "Little friend, if you give this letter to your grandfather, you will say that it is an old man who has visited, and I believe that your grandfather will definitely see me." ”
"Hmph, you are really verbose, I said that grandpa is already asleep, what does he think of your letter, you will come again tomorrow!" The boy was very impatient and prepared to close the courtyard door.
The middle-aged man was quick-eyed, grabbed the door panel, and then took out a small wooden box from his arms, handed it to the little boy, and said with a smile on his face: "Children, here is a box of limited edition chocolates brought back from Yanjing, I gave it to you, you help me give this letter to your grandfather, what do you think?" ”
Children are always easily attracted by delicious things, and they are very excited to see the small wooden box in the hands of middle-aged people, and there is a look of embarrassment on their faces, but their eyes are staring at the small wooden box tightly.
"I'm your grandfather's old friend, this letter is very important, if you delay, be careful that your grandfather spanks your ass!" The middle-aged man changed his face and pretended to be frightened.
The little boy is usually disciplined by his grandfather more strictly, and the middle-aged man is a little scared when he says this, but although the little guy is small, he behaves like a little adult, and says: "Hmph, you adults know how to scare children." ”
"Tell you, I didn't promise to deliver a letter for you because of your gift, I didn't want my grandfather to be angry." The little boy snatched the letter from the middle-aged man's hand, turned around and closed the courtyard door, and went into the house.
The middle-aged man looked at the little boy's back, smiled, gently patted the crystal clear snowflakes that fell on his shoulder, and stood there waiting slowly.
It didn't take long for the courtyard door to be opened again, and an old man wearing a thick cotton coat and a pair of gold-rimmed glasses walked out of the door, glanced at the middle-aged man standing opposite, and chanted: "Thousands of sails on the side of the sinking boat, ten thousand trees in front of the sick tree!" ”
"The spring breeze and the south bank of the Green River, when will the bright moon shine on me!" The middle-aged man answered.
"Virtuous nephew, how is Ling Zun doing lately?" The old man with gold-rimmed glasses grabbed the middle-aged man's hand and said very kindly.
"My father is in good health, but his old man has been talking about his uncle, this time because of other things delayed, he can't come to catch up with his uncle, and he specially asked me to say hello to your old man." The middle-aged man replied very humbly.
"That's good, that's good!" The old man with the eyes of Phnom Penh was overjoyed when he heard this, but immediately patted his head and said: "Look at me, an old fool, how can anyone stand at the door and talk on a snowy day, virtuous nephew, hurry into the house, hurry into the house!" ”
After the old man finished speaking, he opened the courtyard door a little wider, and took the middle-aged man's hand and went into the house.
……
……
On the edge of a dammed lake near the top of Tianlong Peak, Lu Yao was already lying on the shore exhausted, it had been four or five hours, he went into the water twice, carefully searched every place under the water, but there was never a trace of any signs of anything unusual here, and even Lijiang did not find anything.
"Master, you really can't feel the familiar breath you said before?" Lu Yao lay on the shore and asked the master in the sea of knowledge.
"It's really strange, I obviously felt that breath very familiar before, but I don't know what's going on now, it's really strange!" The doubts in Lijiang's heart were no less than Lu Yao's, but even worse.
"Master, if I don't go down to the lake to find it, maybe I can find some useful clues this time!" Lu Yao knew that leaving Xinjiang would never make himself happy out of nothing, he said that if there is, there must be, and the reason why he hasn't found it must be that he has missed some subtle places, so why don't he go down and look for it again.
There was no better way to leave Xinjiang, so I had to agree to his proposal according to what Lu Yao said. Only this time he taught Lu Yao some mantras, so that he could stay in the water for a longer time, and he could also open his eyes and look around carefully.
Lu Yao had a good understanding of the mantra taught by Lu Yao on the shore, took a deep breath, and dived into the water again.
The lake water at night was cold and biting, although Lu Yao had immortal qi to protect his body, he still felt that the slightest cold qi penetrated through the bone marrow, and he felt in a trance several times, but he gritted his teeth and persevered.
