In other words, Li Zhenguan came out of Guwang Village and went down the river, about a day, that is, in the early morning of the second day. Just as he was about to leave Sanyuan Mansion and arrive at Guyang Mansion, the boat that was originally moving slowly stopped.

But the water around was still strong, but the boat stopped there. Looking around, the banks are full of dense forests, and the roots of the trees on the banks near the river are washed away.

Li Zhen watched the unreasonable scene in front of her, and had some bad premonitions in her heart. He may have been. Or maybe the boat got tangled in something in the water.

He came to the bow of the boat and looked into the water, which was bottomless.

It stands to reason that such a river should not have such deep water. Just as he was thinking, he suddenly felt something moving in the water.

And then there was a constant sound, louder and closer.

"Bang", a black iron chain burst out of the water, Li Zhenguan's head was cold, but the reaction was still very fast, and he turned his head to the side and dodged the chain.

This was ambushed, and this idea suddenly popped into Li Zhenguan's mind.

But in the middle of this breath, several black chains flew out to the left, right, and back of the boat. Seeing this fatal blow is about to hit yourself.

Hurriedly stepped on his feet, and one flew out of the top of the ship. In the next second, he was very glad that he had just acted.

For where he had just stood, a chain with a knife as its head pierced the small wooden boat.

Li Zhenguan was still in the air at this time, and the wooden boat under his feet had become a few pieces at this time, as if there was no place to stand. At this moment, the chains also flew towards him.

At the last moment, Li Zhenguan used his blood technique - a thousand thunders. I saw that his hands formed a magic guide, and his originally falling body stopped in the air. A few rays of electric light appeared in the surrounding space. Then it continues to converge to form a silver pillar of electric light.

"I take qi and blood as the guide, and a thousand thunders come to listen to the tune." Li Zhenguan shouted.

After finishing speaking, the thunder light descended and slashed towards the chains.

After a few more breaths, several iron chains could not withstand under the bombardment of a thousand thunders, and they retreated, and then saw a bubble on the surface of the water. Then a few objects floated up, a few people to be exact.

Each of them carried a knife at his waist, looking at the appearance of a middle-aged man of forty years old. His arms were wrapped around chains that had just been struck by lightning.

This is a water thief. In Jiujiang Road, there are many rivers, so water thieves came into being. According to the old people in the village, the water thieves are good at a blood technique called turtle breath, which can stay underwater for a long time.

Right now, this group of people should be.

As for the blood technique, it is a type of technique. Anyone who practices martial arts will practice it. According to talent, understanding, insight, and accumulation, you can practice the arts, and the blood art is the lowest one in the arts. It requires the caster's blood to be used before it can be cast.

Then there are human arts, and finally there are supernatural powers.

Everyone can practice human art successfully, but supernatural powers are hard to come by.

Li Zhenguan floated to the shore, and now that the boat is gone, he can only go to the dock of Guyang Mansion to buy another one and go to Luoyi. Fortunately, when he set off, every family gave Li Zhenguan a lot of money. Otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to move an inch now.

But before buying a boat, another problem must be solved first, and we must first get out of this forest, otherwise it will be all in vain.

I walked for about an hour. Li Zhenguan has been shuttling through the forest, this forest grows extremely densely, and between the big trees is dense shrubs, and there are almost no roads that no one can walk.

From time to time, the sounds of wild beasts could be heard in the woods. Seeing that it was about to get dark, Li Zhenguan's heart was still a little anxious, he really didn't want to spend the night in this forest. Although he is now a natural martial arts cultivator, he is not afraid of the tigers, leopards, wolves and jackals in this forest. But spending the night in this forest where no one is seen and may see ghosts is something that a normal person would not want.

However, the heavens did not grant people's wishes. It was dark, and Li Zhenguan was still scurrying around in the forest.

In the end, there was no way, Li Zhenguan found a cave and prepared to spend the night. At this time, the sounds of the surrounding beasts were still continuous.

But Li Zhenguan was really tired, had a fight, and scurried around in the forest for a long time, and still didn't get a drop of water. Even if he was born to stop people, he couldn't stand it, so he fell asleep on the hard, cold stone after a while.

……

"Wake up, wake up, boy." The voice of a light, kind old woman rang in my ears.

When his eyes opened, he saw two people standing in front of him. An old woman wearing a headscarf and a woman, probably in their twenties.

The woman also wore a turban, her skin was not too smooth, not too fair, and a few locks of plateau red. But on the whole, it was still a youthful and lovely appearance.

The two of them lit torches and looked at Li Zhenguan, who was lying there and didn't know whether he was hungry and collapsed or didn't wake up.

"Young man, why are you sleeping here in the middle of the night?" The old lady asked with a look of pity.

The face of the woman next to her was also full of pity.

"Ah, I...... I...... No...... I don't know, oh, I'...... I...... I feel like I'm lost. Li Zhenguan replied intermittently, and one thing is certain, this guy is prostration, and he has not woken up and is delirious.

"Who's my child, my poor child." When the old grandmother saw this scene, her eyes were already mixed with some tears.

"Come, come, Xiao Zhuo carries it to the house, feed him some food, and let him rest. Don't be bitten by tigers and leopards in this wilderness. ”

As he spoke, he helped Li Zhenguan up, and then put it on the back of the small table.

Li Zhenguan, who was delirious, didn't know what was going on outside, but he felt that the cold and hard stone slab on his chest had become much softer, and it seemed to be still moving, and there were some wheezing sounds from time to time......

After a while, the movement stopped, and I felt some warmth in my throat, sweet, and then I didn't feel anything......

On the second day, Li Zhenguan slowly opened his eyes, and a ray of sunlight hit his face, and with this flash, he closed the eyes he had just opened.

When I opened my eyes again, the light was blocked.

Instead, a pretty face greets you. I don't know if it's because of the early morning, or because of being in the house, the pretty face has become a little whiter, and the plateau red on the face has also faded, and the two reflect each other, and a special mountain village girl's beauty appears in front of me.

"Are you awake?" The girl laughed.

"Well, here's ......"

"My family, I saw you sleeping in the mountains last night and I was delirious, so I carried you back."

"Oh, thank you, I'm sorry."

"But why are you alone in the mountains so late?"

"Well, you may not believe it."

"Huh?"

"I originally took a boat down the river to Luoyi to study, but I met water thieves, I defeated them, but my boat was destroyed, I wanted to go out of the forest to find a boat, but I didn't go out for a long time. Then I'll just rest where I am, and you'll know at the end. ”

"Water thieves, I heard from my grandmother that they are very cruel and powerful, since you can defeat them, you must be even more powerful,"

"Hehe, it's just average, I'm glad that I'm a natural stopper, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to defeat them."

"Wow, born to stop people, is it a person in the realm of martial arts?"

"Hmm."

"Wow, you're amazing. I've been cultivating for six years, and I've only listened to immortals. ”

"Actually, it's nothing, I'm just God good to me."

……

"Oh, did you come to me for something?"

"Oh, Grandma made the meal. Last night you were unconscious, so I fed you a little bit of rice milk. ”

Hearing the meal, Li Zhenguan's stomach also beat a drum. Then as soon as the quilt was lifted, I was ready to go out, but I found it cold.

"I'll it, whoever took off my clothes." Li Zhenguan shouted.

Can this not be cool? Empty space! At this time, Xiao Zhuo was also so frightened that he turned around and covered his eyes with his hands.

"You were carried back by me last night, your body is stinky, my father took off your clothes and wiped your body, I washed the clothes, and now they are drying, and they are not dry, I will go and get you a few of my father's clothes. You cover the quilt first. ”

After saying that, Xiao Zhuo ran out with a smoke, and after a while, he ran back with a smoke in his arms. fell on Li Zhenguan's quilt, and then ran out with a smoke.

……

When he came to the outside of the room, he took a general look, and at his feet was a small three-story building, and he was now on the cloister on the second floor. And Xiao Zhuo was waiting for him at the stairs of the cloister.

And all around this house was the bare mountains, which were different from the dense forest he had rampaged yesterday.

"What's your name?"

"Me? My name is Li Zhenguan. ”

"Li Zhenguan, a nice name, my name is Xiao Zhuo."

"You carried me back last night?"

"Or else? Grandma didn't go with us, grandma is so old, it's just me. ”

"Oh, thank you."

"No thanks, it's just a little heavy."

Hearing this, Li Zhenguan also blushed and didn't know where to put it.

When he came to the dining table on the first floor, the table was already full of dishes, meat and game, vegetarian vegetables and carrots, as well as some green beans that he often ate in the village. Because other places do not produce it, it can only be produced with the help of the mountains and rivers of Sanyuan Mansion.

Therefore, every year, Sanyuanfu will be planted in large quantities, preserved with special formations, and sold to various places.

Seeing Li Zhenguan come downstairs to eat, grandma also bent her back, slowly but very urgently, and brought him a bowl of rice.

"Poor boy, where did you come from, why did you sleep in the middle of the night in the wild mountains and old forests, where jackals, tigers and leopards come and go all the time."

"Grandma, I taught Li Zhenguan, I am from Sanyuan Mansion."

"Oh, Sanyuan Mansion, I went to it a few times when I was young, and then someone didn't let me go, I haven't been there, it's been thirty or forty years."

"If you don't let you go, who won't let you go, why won't you go?"

"Alas, it's all old, so don't mention it."

"By the way, Xiao Zhuo, what about your father, ask him to come and eat together."

"He went hunting early in the morning." The old lady returned.

"It's so early."

"You have to go early, the beasts are so cunning now that they don't come out at night."

"Oh, then you're welcome, eat first."

"Eat, it's for you, alas, poor boy."

Li Zhenguan was not polite, and soon showed off his belly.

"Grandma, you're not far from the dock of Guyang Mansion here."

"Far away, we are deep in the mountains here, and it takes four or five days to go back and forth on the street."

"Huh? Is it so far? ”

"What are you doing at the docks?"

"Oh, buy a boat and go to Luoyi to study."

"Then don't worry, in two days, Deng Xiaozhuo's father will come back to see you off."

"Don't you need it? I can get it myself, and I won't bother you. Xiao Zhuo, please bring me the salute and clothes later, and I'll leave later. ”

"Why don't you listen to persuasion, young man, you can't get out without us." The old woman's tone was stern and harsh.

Li Zhenguan was also taken aback by this sudden change in tone.

"Zhenguan, I'm also worried about your safety, we don't worry about you going alone." The tone returned to kindness and kindness.

Li Zhenguan seemed to realize something, and did not dwell on the topic anymore, saying that he would go back to the room to rest and wait for Father Xiaozhuo to come back in two days.

But in the middle of the night, Li Zhenguan stole back his luggage and clothes, quietly opened the door, left there, and galloped through the forest with his feet with qi and blood. After a long time, he slowed down, ready to slowly find his way out of the forest.

After a while, he saw a fire in the woods. Approaching the fire sat an old man and a young girl.

It was Xiao Zhuo and her grandmother.

"Zhenguan, I said it all, without us, you can't get out of this forest, why don't you believe it. I didn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I got lost in this forest again, so I asked Xiao Zhuo and I to come to you and carry you back. ”
