Of course, in front of him, they did not dare to say it.
They chartered a carriage near the dock, and the four of them settled down in the inn first, and under the leadership of the nine-foot man, they began to walk towards Yuanjing Lake.
Lu Gongzi originally wanted to have a good rest, but he couldn't resist them, so he only rode on horseback and followed them.
Playing horses and galloping slowly, Gu Gongzi was full of praise for the beautiful and strange flowers and plants around them.
From afar, I saw a blue lake in front of me, and it really looked like a beautiful mirror, but such a large mirror was only suitable for fairies. Thinking of this, Gu Gongzi couldn't help but touch his chin and guessed: "Could it be that there are immortals here?" ”
It's just that the word "source mirror", where does it come from?
There were still hundreds of distances from the source mirror lake, and the nine-foot man jumped off his horse and tied the horse to the woods beside the road, and there were many horses next to him, and what was even stranger was that there was no one to take care of it.
Gu Gongzi couldn't help but ask strangely, "Why don't we just ride over?" Aren't you afraid of stealing it here? ”
The nine-foot man smiled and pointed to a lake over there and said, "Look over there, who is riding a horse?" ”
Lu Gongzi changed his sick and wilted appearance, and said with a grin: "Actually, this is the rule here, all people who come here have to be a hundred feet away from the lake, so they must consciously dismount, otherwise the consequences will be serious." ”
Gu Gongzi nodded, and asked with bright eyes, "Is there really an immortal here?" ”
Lu Gongzi shook his head and said: "I heard that the locals have said that this place used to belong to the territory of the gods, and there were immortals flying in the sky from time to time. It's just that these are only heard in rumors, and no one has seen a flying immortal for hundreds of years. However, in order to show respect for the gods, the local people have such a rule, which is said to have been passed down for nearly a thousand years! ”
Gu Gongzi tied the horse to the woods next to him, and said excitedly: "Then what are we waiting for, hurry up and find this legendary Immortal Cave Mansion." Maybe as soon as we are lucky, we will be lucky enough to worship the immortal sect and cultivate into that immortal immortal! ”
The nine-foot man shook his head, and slowly followed behind the ancient boy who was speeding away with a wry smile.
Seeing Gu Gongzi running to Lu Ruofei, Lu Gongzi and Shan Gongzi were also interested, and chased after him, shouting in his mouth: "Brother Gu, wait for us!" ”
Gu Gongzi ignored them, ran to the lake by himself, and saw many tourists worshipping there, and then took the lake water to drink. On the surface of the lake, no one was swimming, boating or anything, suffocating Gu Gongzi's idea of exploring the bottom of the lake at the beginning.
When I looked closely, I saw that the pool of lake water was crystal clear in the near part, and among the stones of various colors, small swimming fish were playing there, and it became blue and deep in the distance, and I couldn't see how deep it was.
Gu Gongzi followed their example and kowtowed to the surface of the lake, then got up and reached into the lake, picked up a handful of water and drank it.
The water of the lake is cool in the throat, with a slight sweet and salty taste, which is no different from the mountain spring that I used to drink.
Gu Gongzi couldn't help but be a little disappointed, and then stared at the lake around him, as well as its surroundings from time to time. No matter how he stretched his neck to pretend to be a giraffe, and his eyes widened for the fish's eyes, he still didn't find anything suspicious.
"Source mirror holy water, one water into the body, no diseases, health and longevity. There are disciples today...... Here's a sincere prayer for the gods and immortals of Jingyuan Lake to manifest and fulfill. ”
Lu Gongzi knelt down and prayed there, his expression was much more solemn than that of Gu Gongzi, and he bowed three times and bowed nine times before reaching out to the lake and holding a handful of water to drink it all.
Gu Gongzi was not interested in this, and directly crept around, circling around the lake. This time, the nine-foot man didn't bother to go crazy with him again, just accompanied Lu Gongzi and the two of them to walk slowly by the lake, enjoying the wonderful scenery and looking at the beautiful birds and birds playing freely in the lake.
Suddenly, they found that Gu Gongzi was looking at the waterfall in front of the lake, holding his chin with his hand, and the expression on his face was a little strange.
The waterfall in front of it fluttered gently, like a fairy wearing a white dress swaying in the wind, and the snow-white water droplets splashed on the surface of the lake, causing ripples, the farther away, the lighter it became, and finally disappeared into calm.
Shan Gongzi became interested and asked expectantly, "Brother Gu, what did you find?" ”
Gu Gongzi shook his head sadly, and said in a low voice: "I'm wondering, is there a cave hidden behind the waterfall, or is it hidden at the bottom of this lake, otherwise, how can such a magical thing happen in this ordinary pool of lake water?" ”
Lu Gongzi was startled and asked in surprise, "You mean you want to swim to the waterfall and investigate?" Don't die, if the islanders know about it, we won't be able to get out of this island alive, and even if we escape, I'm afraid that the ship will be sunk! ”
The mountain boy was a little worried and pulled Gu Gongzi, but the nine-foot man was holding his chest with his arms around his chest, looking at this Gu Gongzi with a funny expression.
At this time, I heard that there was a possibility that people might sink even the boat, and I was afraid that it would be unbearable to float in the sea water and drown to death. The nine-foot man twisted his neck a little uncomfortably, and persuaded the undead Gu Gongzi: "Boy, don't be delusional!" Don't steal chickens and rice, you don't get anything but you make yourself embarrassed, and you bring the old man. ”
One person couldn't reverse the overall situation, Gu Gongzi sighed, nodded resignedly, and said, "Oh, then I'll go up this mountain to take a look." ”
Lu Gongzi jumped to his feet and said, "What! I'm going to climb the mountain again, and my legs are blistering again, I'm not going! ”
Gu Gongzi nodded and said, "Then I'll go up and take a look alone!" ”
The mountain boy said: "I'll go with you!" ”
Lu Gongzi grabbed his hand again, and looked at the nine-foot man pleadingly, and the nine-foot man turned his head to the side and said, "I won't accompany this kid to do that boring idiot thing!" ”
Gu Gongzi didn't go to beg them, turned around and left, and said to the nine-foot man: "Then Uncle Lao will take care of Brother Lu, I will accompany him, I don't worry if he goes alone!" ”
"Hey, you're ......"
Lu Gongzi opened his mouth to speak, the two of them had already run away without a shadow, he only lowered his head in frustration, walked two steps with a weak hunched back, and suddenly leaned back and said, "I'm tired, rest first." ”
Looking at the road boy who was lying lazily on the ground, the nine-foot man shook his head and said with a wry smile: "If I knew this was the case, it would be better to accompany that crazy boy to shake around!" It's good, it's even more stuffy! ”
Lu Gongzi closed his eyes and didn't bother to pay attention to him, but the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly, as if he could bring him some trouble, and it could be regarded as the evil breath in his heart.
The nine-foot man had no choice but to sit cross-legged beside him and close his eyes to recuperate, waiting for the return of these three difficult little dolls.
Suddenly, he slowly opened his eyes, turned his head to look back, his eyes were shining, and he said in a dull voice: "It's not good, I'm afraid that your sister sent someone to arrest you three naughty boys." ”
In the distance, on the mountain and forest paths, a general of a hundred people, wearing iron armor and swords, rushed towards the lake neatly.
The nine-foot man spoke for a long time, but did not hear an echo, and looked at Lu Gongzi strangely, but saw him curled up and lying in the soft grass, his eyes were slightly closed, his breathing was even, and he had already fallen asleep.
"They're all troublemakers!" The nine-foot man shook his head with a wry smile, picked up Lu Gongzi, and walked towards the mountain forest next to him. Look at the slow footsteps, only a few steps, and have already disappeared into the woods.
There was a forest blocking the sight over there, and the nine-foot man directly threw off his steps and rushed towards the top of the mountain, looking for Gu Gongzi and them. No matter how high the mountain and the road are steep, Lu Gongzi, who was lying smoothly in his arms, still slept sweetly and contentedly, and the nine-foot man shook his head helplessly again and smiled bitterly.
Running all the way, the nine-foot man did not forget to listen to the tip. After walking for about an hour of incense, the nine-foot man's eyes and brows twitched, and the corners of his mouth rushed in one direction with a smile.
After a while, he was really catching up with Gu Gongzi and Shan Gongzi.
Hearing the sound of the wind behind them, the two of them hid in a bush with a slight change in their expressions, and just hid in, the nine-foot man stopped beside them, and laughed: "Just by the fact that you only discovered it at this time, how can you escape the old man's tracking!" ”
Gu Gongzi sighed, stroked his beating heart, and said angrily: "Uncle Nine Feet, you don't know how to call out, you just want to scare us!" ”
The nine-foot man jokingly said: "You two bold dolls, will you also be afraid?" ”
At this time, Lu Gongzi, who was held in the arms of the nine-foot man, woke up leisurely, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and looked at the people in front of him in surprise: "How did I get here?" ”
Looking at the foot of the mountain, the lake surface was more like an oval mirror, lying quietly in the green trees like a sapphire, looking much more sober, and couldn't help but be even more surprised: "I'm here to the top of the mountain?" Uncle Nine Feet, I don't care, you carry me up the mountain, I don't have the strength to go down the mountain, you have to continue to carry me down the mountain for a while! ”
The first thing Lu Gongzi did when he woke up was not to thank the nine-foot man for his hard work in carrying him up the mountain, but to blame him for bringing him to this high mountain.
"You can't fall in love, I don't bother to care about you!"
The nine-foot man threw him forward angrily, and Lu Gongzi hurriedly turned over with a harrier, stood up straight dangerously, pouted, and glared at the unsympathetic nine-foot man hatefully.
The nine-foot man pretended not to see his eyes, shook his head and said, "I really don't know why you little dolls are all the ones who cause trouble, no, a large group of guards have come down the mountain to arrest you!" ”
Lu Gongzi was suddenly surprised and said, "Didn't I make it clear in the letter?" Why do you want to chase us? You can't be mistaken, could it be that some prince or something came here to pray for blessings or something? ”
The nine-foot man smiled: "How could the old man be mistaken, do you think my military career in those years was in vain?" What they exude is a murderous aura, but a vigorous aura, as long as you look at it, you can see that it is not a traveling guard, but a standard army of 100 people! ”
Lu Gongzi frowned and said, "The leader is just the seven-rank ranger Wei of the hundred-man team?" Then it's really not a noble person traveling, but a person who is here to get people! ”
He had personally sent people to arrest the Hundred Demons before, so he naturally knew the rank of the leader of the 100-person team.
The nine-foot man looked at the sea in the distance, and saw that there were several big warships moored there, and he couldn't help frowning: "I'm afraid that we are now surrounded on this Source Mirror Island, I said little doll, you should honestly follow back, so as not to drag them down!" ”
Lu Gongzi shook his head and said, "No! I finally came out once, how could I go back so easily! Aren't they all capable of illusions, and they can't escape this investigation? Even if there is really no way to get caught, I want them to go back with me, trying to get rid of me so easily, and there is no door! ”
Gu Gongzi held his sharp chin and looked at the warship at the foot of the mountain, shook his head with a wry smile: "I'm afraid that now that we are blocked on this Source Mirror Island, if we don't hold us, no one is allowed to leave the island, so how can we get out?" Unless you learn from the bird, it grows wings and flies away! ”
Lu Gongzi said angrily: "I don't care!" Even if you can't escape, then you have to go back with me, I won't intercede for you, hehe......"
Gu Gongzi looked at the tall and mighty, black-bearded nine-foot man and Lu Gongzi, who was as short as him, shook his head and sighed: "If it was just the two of us, there would naturally be a way to get out, but there were two more of you......"
The nine-foot man hugged his chest and shook his legs, looking at the nervous fist with a smile on his face, praying that he could escape by chance, the mountain boy and the ancient boy with a sad face, laughed and said: "If you can't hide, don't hide!" Anyway, they didn't come to arrest me, what am I afraid of? You can just go back to eat fragrant and drink spicy food, and you don't have to accompany you little dolls running around the mountains! ”
Gu Gongzi frowned and said: "At this time, the things we stored in the hotel, as well as the rented horses, I am afraid that they have fallen into the hands of the officers and soldiers, and they will not be able to get them back." Fortunately, there was nothing particularly precious in the package except for a change of clothes. It's just a pity that the disassembled bow in my package! ”
Lu Gongzi jumped up and shouted, "How can you do it without a change of clothes?" Won't we stink to death! ”
Gu Gongzi didn't bother to pay attention to him, and continued: "Under the current conditions, let's find a cave or something to hide first. If you meet a sporadic guard who comes to search, you just need to take it down the mountain, but it's just ...... Alas! ”
Looking at the nine-foot man and Lu Gongzi, Gu Gongzi couldn't help but shake his head in frustration again.
The nine-foot man nodded and said, "This method is okay, it just so happens that I know that there is a remote place near here that can hide for a few days." It's just that in the past few days, our stomachs are afraid of sinning! ”
Immediately behind the nine-foot man, he came to a cliff. Gu Gongzi smiled slightly, and said in his heart: "Is it another cave?" ”
didn't stop, the nine-foot man had already grabbed an arm-thick rattan and climbed down, and Gu Gongzi followed closely without thinking about it.
But it was Lu Gongzi who looked at the bottomless abyss under the cliff with a weak heart, and said with a weak heart: "Do we really want to go down?" ”
Shan Gongzi smiled: "If you want to go back, then you don't have to." ”
Seeing that the mountain boy was about to climb down, Lu Gongzi said in fear: "Hey, you wait for me!" Brother Shan, you help me and let me go down first! ”
Shan Gongzi smiled: "Don't worry, I will wait for you, even if you accidentally fall down, I will continue below." ”
Only then did Lu Gongzi dare to carefully touch the rattan with the thickness of his arm and climb down.
After slipping down for about an hour of incense, the nine-foot man said, "It's here!" ”
He lifted the rattan to reveal a small cave inside. Look at the appearance of this cave, it must be naturally formed. The space inside is much smaller than the previous cave, which can only accommodate four people lying flat. The uneven rocks were black-green and damp, with a layer of green moss growing on them, and there were some moldy beast droppings in the holes, and there was not even a flat place to sit comfortably!
Gu Gongzi looked at the small stone cave in front of them, and couldn't help frowning, and when Lu Gongzi came, he opened his mouth in surprise and screamed: "What, this is the place you are talking about, is this the place where people sleep!" ”
