Originally, I thought that Lu Shengcai would run impatiently to the water source as soon as he saw a beautiful female classmate hidden in the fog, but I didn't expect this kid's concentration to be quite strong, at this moment I turned off the light, hid in the dark and listened quietly to the movement ahead, and he could stand motionless beside me.

Judging from Lu Shengcai's steady breath, his heart is very calm at the moment.

To be honest, I can't see through them as thieves.

Sometimes, you feel that they are full of conspicuous flaws, both on their bodies and in their hearts.

But sometimes, they are almost invulnerable.

Lu Shengcai is like this, and so is Qiao Sanye.

After a long time, I made sure that there were no unusual sounds around me, and there were no abnormal aura fluctuations, so I took Lu Shengcai and continued to touch towards the source of the sound of the water.

Probably because we were getting closer to the water source, the tide in the fog became more and more intense, and a thin layer of water soon gathered on my face and the back of my hands, not to mention my clothes, and now I could feel the whole back soaked.

The fog became thicker and thicker, and I could only hold on to Lu Shengcai tightly, for fear that he would get lost.

Lu Shengcai is also quite cooperative, and he has been controlling the frequency of his steps in order to maintain a relatively constant distance between him and me.

That way, as soon as there is a change in his speed, I can immediately notice it.

I don't know when a very soft hissing sound began to echo in my ears.

It sounded a bit like the sound of a high-voltage power line peeling and leaking, but it was so light and it came and went, and I wasn't sure what it was coming from.

For a moment, the hissing suddenly fell silent, and the fog that surrounded me disappeared at the same time.

I shook off the water droplets from my hands, raised my hand again, and wiped it vigorously on my face.

I had just been blinded by the water vapor and couldn't see anything clearly, but now my vision finally became clear, and I realized that I had reached the side of the river.

Looking back, less than a meter behind him, there was a large gray-white miasma.

Didn't the water vapor rise from the river?

Why is it that when you are in the fog, the humidity is so heavy, but when you get to the river, it is refreshing?

Lu Shengcai couldn't help but pout: "This place is really weird." ”

I first made a silent gesture to Lu Shengcai, signaling him to be quieter, and then lowered my voice and asked him, "Can you tell which direction the footsteps were going in before?" ”

When I asked this sentence at the time, I had the mentality of a dead horse being a live horse doctor.

Anyway, I don't know if the footsteps are going upstream or downstream of the river, and the only person I can ask for help at the moment is Lu Shengcai.

In my impression, Lu Shengcai has always had the excellent quality of dropping the chain at critical moments, so I don't have much hope for him.

But this time, he surprised me.

He didn't respond to me immediately, just leaned over and hung his head above the river.

The water rushed and made a dense crushing sound, and the water vapor stirring from the river wet Lu Shengcai's sleeves, and he looked at the river quietly, as if he could see some special information from the reflection of the river water that I could not detect.

After a moment, Lu Shengcai suddenly retracted his body, raised his hand and pointed towards the upstream of the river: "Eighty percent is upstream." ”

"How can you tell?"

Lu Shengcai was happy at me: "I can't tell you this, after all, it involves the internal inheritance of our Jingchu Thief Sect." ”

Yes, he doesn't want to say it, forget it, in our industry, all sects, who doesn't have a few secret crafts?

I thought so in my heart, so I didn't ask much, just beckoned to Lu Shengcai and motioned for him to follow me upstream to have a look.

The source of this river should be near the top of the mountain, otherwise the water would not be so turbulent, but Master had specifically explained to me that I could only move within the territory of the Mid-Levels Hall, and I must not cross the halfway point of the mountain to the side of the cave.

As for the "halfway up the mountain" in Master's mouth, I didn't know exactly where Jingyun Mountain was, so I could only slow down, and as soon as I felt that I was about to cross the line, I had to quickly turn back.

After walking five or six hundred meters along the river, I felt that something was not right.

At this time, I could already feel that there was a strong spiritual charm on the river beach more than 20 meters away.

I guess that location is the dividing line between Banshan Hall and Dongfu.

"Big head, look, there are footprints!"

Lu Shengcai walked up to me and raised his hand to the river beach in front of him.

Actually, I didn't need him to point out, I could have seen that row of footprints.

Not long ago, someone walked barefoot on the river beach, and those feet were so dexterous that they left almost no obvious depressions in the mud, leaving only watermarks that reflected the moonlight.

Lu Shengcai spoke next to me again: "Men don't have such small feet...... It's supposed to be a girl. ”

I took a closer look at the last place where the row of footprints disappeared, and frowned helplessly: "Let's go." ”

Lu Shengcai seemed to be a little unwilling: "Let's go?" Don't follow up and take a look? ”

"If you go further, it's the boundary of the cave."

"What's that! Hey, look at the time, what time is it, and the people on the mountain go to bed early. I'm telling you, if you don't follow now, you will regret it. If I'm not mistaken, the person who appeared here just now is the beautiful female classmate we met in the other courtyard this morning. ”

I was a little curious: "How do you know?" ”

"The feet of the two people are exactly the same."

"Just kidding, you can even see this?"

"It's not that I'm blowing with you, just my eyes, not only can I see the foot code, but all antique artifacts, as long as I glance at it a little, I can see whether it is genuine or fake, make up a few taels of glue, wedge a few dark nails, look at the jade, I can also see whether the jade gall is light or dark, and the jade fetus contains a little water and a few ice seeds."

Don't say it, I really believe this, after all, Lu Shengcai's father did this, there are so many antiquities at home, he must have had many eyes when he was a child, and if he saw more, his eyesight will naturally be practiced.

After praising his eyesight, Lu Shengcai began to encourage me again: "What's the matter, should we continue to follow up, or will we continue to consume it here?" ”

"Of course you can't spend it here."

"That's right!"

"But I can't follow up."

"Huh?"

"Let's go, go home."

Before the words landed, I turned my head and walked back, Lu Shengcai hesitated twice, and finally followed.

To tell you the truth, I do want to see who left those footprints, because there is an extremely gloomy, but extremely manic strange aura in these footprints, which makes me feel uneasy.

But I also know what I can and can't do, and if I rush to follow now, if something goes wrong, it may completely disrupt Master's next plans.
