Chapter 192: Boating on Mirror Lake

Li Mu did not react to Shangguan Yin's flattering words. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info He asked a question that he cared about. "How did you know I could breathe underwater?" Li Mu stared at Shangguan Yin's eyes, trying to find something in his eyes.

But Li Mu underestimated Shangguan Yin too much, if there are still flaws in his eyes, can the person in front of him be Shangguan Yin?

Shangguan Yin smiled slightly and said, "Although the Star Hidden Palace has been in decline for a long time, it always has its own channels. Some secret things, I will also know. ”

Li Mu frowned, he didn't believe Shangguan Yin's rhetoric. Because he didn't believe in the news of the Star Hidden Palace, he would be more informed than listening to the news of Feng Xuan.

But Shangguan Yin didn't seem to want to say anything more on this issue. He said to Li Mu: "That's it." I also have a signal pyrotechnic here. As long as you find the exact location of Turtle Island, you can pull the fuse and send out the signal. You just have to do it well. ”

"To put it simply, just find the exact location of Turtle Island and send a signal?" Li Mu said, "As long as I do this, then you can tell me where Shen Li is?"

"Yes. Shangguan Yin nodded, but he changed his words, "If you go up to Turtle Island and can find someone, then I will not only tell you where Shen Li is, but I will also help you rescue Shen Li." How?"

Hearing this, Li Mu raised his eyebrows. "Are you alone, or are you counted in the Star Hidden Palace?"

"Naturally, it's me, and my men. Shangguan Yin stretched out his hand and pointed at Wen Mei'er.

The power of the Star Hidden Palace, Li Mu had also seen it once in the small city. He remembered the old way that led him to the North Gate, and he should also be a member of the Star Hidden Palace. and the forces of the Star Hidden Palace that he saw when he ran to the south gate in despair. The three people, including Wen Meier, are the leaders, and the remaining members of the gang are numerous.

This is also a big help.

Li Mu thought for a while and asked, "Who is it?"

"It's an old man, about seventy or eighty years old, and he should be dead. Shangguan Yin said in a playful tone.

"As long as you find it?" Li Mu confirmed. Finding a person and rescuing a person are two different concepts entirely.

Shangguan Yin nodded again, "Just find it." Rescuing him, I'm afraid it's not something you can do. ”

Li Mu didn't care, he took the signal fireworks handed over by Wen Mei'er, and asked very seriously: "I'm still a bait this time?"

Shangguan smiled faintly: "No." This time, you're the key. ”

Li Mu also smiled. However, the smiles of the two have completely different meanings.

"I'm waiting for your good news. After Shangguan Yin said this, he turned around and left with Wen Mei'er.

Li Mu put away the paper rolls and fireworks, and at this time, Yi Fan also appeared, "What did they say?"

"Sure enough, they want to find Turtle Island. Li Mu replied.

Yi Fan wondered. "If they want to find Turtle Island, they should find a boat to go to the lake. What are you looking for?"

Li Mu laughed, "Now, it's time for us to go find the boat." Yi Fan was still a little unsure, but Li Mu walked forward first.

The two came to the charter boat where Ning Xibai had come before. Someone inside was sitting behind the counter, and when he saw the two of them coming to the door, the man said directly: "We don't have a big ship here." If you want a big ship, you have to go to those big families to borrow it. ”

Li Mu shook his hand, "Boss, we're not here to find the big boat." I would like to ask if there are any boats?"

"Huh, you don't want a big boat, you want a small boat?"

"Yes, we're from out of town, just two of us. I just want to rent a boat and go boating on the lake. I don't know what the price is here?"

"Hey, I didn't know what had happened recently, there were no big boats around Mirror Lake. But there are still boats. I'll charge you 100 wen in one morning. How?"

"A hundred Wen, a little more expensive, right?"

"Hey, there's no way around it. If you are too expensive, you can ask elsewhere and make sure that the price here is fair. "The boss also calculated that the price of chartering boats on the edge of Jinghu Lake would rise. The demand is far greater than the supply, so there is no fear.

Fortunately, now Li Mu and Yi Fan are not short of silver, so they agreed to rent a small boat at a price of one hundred wen a morning. The two signed a note and told the boss to prepare the boat. Then the two left the boat and went to eat.

After eating casually to kill his hunger, Li Mu also deliberately looked around the small shop at the ferry and bought a piece of oiled paper and a bamboo tube for holding things. Li Mu wrapped the paper rolls and fireworks in oiled paper, and then put them in a bamboo tube. "Then it shouldn't get water. Li Mu put away the bamboo tube, and then asked Yi Fan, "Will you hold the boat?"

"Huh?" Yi Fan looked dazed.

"When I get to the place, I go to the lake. And it won't come back for a while and a half. I'm afraid that if there is a boatman, people will not do it. Li Mu said. It's not like he's thinking too much. Because if you rent a boat, you have a boatman. When Li Mu goes into the water to look for it, it will definitely take a lot of time. If he doesn't return for a long time, the boatman may think that Li Mu has disappeared in the lake.

Therefore, what Li Mu thought was that he and Yi Fan would be together, and it was better to have no outsiders.

Yi Fan listened to Li Mu's explanation, thought about it, and said, "It's not that you can't. But I'm not very good at it. Don't be disgusted. Li Mu smiled: "How can it." ”

The two of them returned to the boat and talked to the boss. The boss said that he had to buy the boat, otherwise he couldn't. He is probably also afraid of getting into a life lawsuit, so there is no room for bargaining here for this. The two had no choice, and in the end they paid for the boat and bought it.

When the two of them came to the ferry pier, they saw that the boat was a real boat. However, the size of a fishing boat, but with an extra layer of black canopy. And the stern of the boat drove a oar, which was not the pole that Li Mu thought.

Yi Fan boarded the boat and looked back and forth, "It's a little smaller, but it's good to be small, I should be able to do it." ”

Li Mu untied the cable and said with a smile: "It's up to you." ”

Li Mu also jumped on the boat and sat down on the bow of the boat. Yi Fan shook the oar, and the boat swayed and began to move. Li Mu is not very accustomed to this kind of swaying from side to side, of course, the main reason is that Yi Fan's rocking is too unstable, which makes the boat tilt and look like it is about to capsize.

"Hey, Yi Fan, be steady. How do I feel like I'm going to flip?" Li Mu said urgently.

Yi Fan was already sweating on his forehead, but he still said nonchalantly: "Do you know that the hand is born? ”

"Okay. Li Mu could only reluctantly agree.

Li Mu sat on the bow of the boat and looked out. As far as the eye can see, there is an endless surface of water. Eight hundred miles of mirror lake, the water surface is really called a vast. Li Mu vaguely saw the outlines of several islands, which seemed to be in the distance. The nearby lake is as bright as a mirror, without the slightest feeling of turbulence.

Li Mu was a little difficult to understand the words of the undercurrent and turbulent in Shangguan Yin's words. Looking at it here, the lake seems to be a girl next door, clear and gentle. However, having said that, the location where the two of them set off was on the west side of Yuanlongdu, that is, within the scope of Mirror Lake.

It is the southernmost point of the mouth of the Mirror Lake and the Li River, and it is also close downstream. Because of the buffering effect of the mirror lake, Li Mu did not feel how turbulent the water was.

But the water of the mirror lake is 800 miles, and the estuary that comes into contact with the Li River is four or five hundred miles long. This is the reason why Shangguan Yin said that it is difficult to confirm the specific location. Moreover, the water rushing from the upper reaches of the Li River enters the Mirror Lake at the mouth of four or five hundred miles. It's no wonder that the lake isn't turbulent.

"Yi Fan, do you know the direction, you want to go to the mouth of the river, it's in the west, right?" asked Li Mu.

Yi Fan shouted: "I'm not a fool, don't talk." I'm rocking it!"

Li Mu was speechless by this sentence. I could only turn my head and continue to look ahead. He recalled Shangguan Yin's words in his mind, and was also worried about Shen Li's situation. He kept the bloody clothes in his hand, and he was very uneasy.

However, according to Shangguan Yin's actions, Li Mu would definitely not let himself know Shen Li's news until he fulfilled the conditions he proposed. And his strength, as well as the power of the Star Hidden Palace behind him, was not afraid of Li Mu's move at all. It can really be said that there is no fear.

Li Mu had no choice but to agree to Shangguan Yin's conditions. He only thinks about finding Turtle Island as soon as possible, and then going to save Shen Li as soon as possible. Although the area they had to search was large, it might take days. But Shangguan Yin said that Shen Li's life is not in danger for the time being, and it may not be necessary for a long time. Therefore, Li Mu can shorten the time a little now, so he will shorten the time. Now he and Yi Fan are looking for a boat to set off, just to save time as much as possible.

Li Mu looked into the distance with peace of mind, searching for the target.

The Mystery of Turtle Island is said to be in the lake, and you can even know that it is in the estuary, but you can't find its existence. When Yi Fan talked about this, he said that this was an exaggeration. He didn't believe it. And Li Mu also agreed with Yi Fan's opinion. He didn't believe that if an island really existed, outsiders wouldn't be able to find it.

It doesn't make sense.

With such an idea, Li Mu intended to find clues on the lake.

However, Yi Fan has a very clear understanding of his rocking technique. He said that the technique was not very good, and in fact his technique was really bad. The boat staggered and traveled in the lake for a long time, but did not reach the mouth of the river.

"If this continues, maybe we won't be able to get to the place when it gets dark. It would be miserable if that were the case. Why don't I come?" Li Mu was a little anxious in his heart.

Yi Fan became angry as soon as he heard this, "Don't dislike it, don't you make it clear that you dislike me?"

Seeing that he was angry, Li Mu hurriedly said, "Alas, I'm in a hurry." ”

Yi Fan knew that he was for Li Mu, so he said: "What if it's dark? There are also people on the island in this lake, and they can also stay, it's a big deal that we can find an island to spend the night!"
