The three of them looked at each other, all a little dazed, but they didn't know where the sound came from. The sound of the drumming beast came very quickly, and it seemed to be thousands of miles away just now, but the next moment it was already close to the front.

"Young people. Suddenly, there was a call from behind the three of them.

The three of them looked back with the wind, and it was the old knife sharpener who called out to the three of them. At this moment, he looked at the three of them, beckoning again and again, as if calling them over.

The three of them hesitated slightly, and after such a moment of hesitation, the roaring sound of the drum beast came a little closer. Sui Feng frowned, pulled the two people on the side, and retreated towards the old man. Before returning to the shop, the old man saw that they had retreated, and the worried look on his face retreated.

"Uncle, who are you?" Sui Feng looked at the appearance of the old man who sharpened the knife, and he couldn't help but ask with some curiosity.

The old man shook his head and said, "Fortunately, you retreated, otherwise you would have to suffer!"

"Suffering?" Ximen Changli frowned and asked at the old man's words. On the contrary, it was Ji Jian, who stood aside with a meaningless face and was very calm.

The old man nodded and said, "These are the elite disciples of the Xuanyuan family, and they will be accompanied by the sound of drums when they travel. It is to remind the ordinary people in this Yuezhou to avoid it, this Xuanyuan family disciple has a strange beast when he travels. That's why there is the sound of this beast's roar, these beasts are fierce by nature, and their strength is also extremely strong, if you wait for this to pass by, you can see it with your own eyes. ”

Sui Feng nodded deeply and said, "No wonder this Xuanyuan family wants to beat the drum, presumably because they are afraid that these strange beasts will hurt passers-by." ”

The old man laughed and said, "That's right. However, the young people's knowledge is shallow. The drums made passers-by retreat, mainly because they were afraid that these passers-by would provoke the ferocity of these strange beasts. These strange beasts are ferocious and murderous, and only the people of this Xuanyuan family have a way to discipline them, if they are aroused fiercely, it will be very tricky. ”

As soon as the old man finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of the drum in front of him. Before the three of them came back to their senses, they felt that the ground under their feet was shaking one after another!

"It's coming!" said Simon Changli in a low voice, and moved closer to the side of the road.

And the sharpener seems to have seen this scene for a long time, and it is still very plain. "Don't be afraid. This strange beast of the Xuanyuan family does not take the initiative to attack people on the side of the road. It doesn't reach here. ”

As soon as he finished speaking, a column of people dressed in shining golden armor and shining like elite soldiers in their hands appeared in front of them, slowly walking forward in front of them. Sure enough, as the old man said, these disciples were riding a strange beast that was more than half a human in height. The beast's eyes alone were big enough.

Some of these beasts resemble lions. It's a bit like a unicorn. His body was covered in golden scales. It looked like they were wearing a suit of armor, especially since the steps of these strange beasts were surprisingly consistent. The shaking made the shops around here tremble slightly, and the momentum of these strange beasts was hidden. Even so, each of them exuded an aura of danger that was difficult to match, and the three of them were shocked to see by the wind.

The pair came and went as fast as they could, but in just a few breaths, they had disappeared in front of the eyes of several people.

Unconsciously, when this strange beast was infested, the three of them held their breath together. It wasn't until the people of the Xuanyuan family had been gone for a long time that they let out a long breath.

As soon as the three of them came back to their senses, they heard the old man say again: "Look at this direction, these people from the Xuanyuan family must be heading towards the Dongting Lake." Look at the people of this Xuanyuan family, all of them are strong soldiers and horses, can you fight against them? It is better to put an end to such thoughts as soon as possible, lest you lose your life in vain. ”

There was silence with the wind, and he glanced at Ji Jian and Ximen Changli beside him. Ji Jian's eyes fluttered, and he didn't know what he was thinking. And Ximen Changli only smiled faintly, and didn't seem to take what the old man said to heart.

After a while, I heard Ximen Chang leave the mouth and ask: "There is another matter to inquire about, just now the old man said that the four sides of the Dongting Lake were sealed by this Xuanyuan family, but I don't know if the Xuanyuan family only sealed the inside of the Dongting Lake, or even the surrounding mountains are also included in it?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, thought for a while, and then said: "This old man doesn't know, but at that time, he only heard from those fishermen on the lakeside that the Xuanyuan family gave the subsidy money, but he never heard the farmers on the lakeside say that it must have only sealed the lake." ”

Ximen Chang smiled detachedly and said, "So, thank you, uncle." These spiritual jades also asked the old man to accept them and talk about them. ”

After that, he directly took out a bag of spiritual jade and sent it to the old man.

The old man was stunned for a moment, and said: "So many spiritual jades! This is absolutely unacceptable, the old man just answered a few questions from the son, what is it, where is it worth the son's expense?"

Ximen Changli chuckled, "This is just a few problems for the old man, but for me, it is a disaster that is difficult to solve." If you take it, you won't have to work so hard in the future. ”

The old man shook his head again and again, "Although this sharpening knife is hard, my heart is happy." Receiving favors from others and getting what should not have belonged to me is not necessarily a good thing. ”

After that, without waiting for Ximen to leave, the old man picked up the heavy whetstone again, turned around and walked into the distance.

"Getting something that shouldn't have belonged to me may not be a good thing......" Sui Feng looked at the figure of the old man in the distance, and thought of his words just now, and couldn't help but whisper in a low voice, only to feel that these words were full of mysteries, and always felt that it seemed to be just a casual statement, but when I tasted it, I always felt that it was like a trip for the three of them.

"Could it be that this old man is an immortal, what is he hinting at us?" Sui Feng thought about it in his heart, and he was both surprised and puzzled.

"Let's go, it's time for us to go!" Ximen Changli saw that the old man did not accept his spirit jade, but he did not complain, and his words returned to firmness.

"Now, where are you going?" Ji Jian was also puzzled.

"When I went to take a look at the shore of Dongting Lake, I always felt that it was very likely that this Xuanyuan family might not know the secret of Zhou Tianzhu, and that they might be searching for something else. Even if the news does leak out unfortunately, no matter what, you can always learn more about it by going to see it. It is convenient to formulate a countermeasure. After saying that, Ximen Changli walked straight in the direction that the people of the Xuanyuan family had walked before.

Sui Feng looked at Ji Jian, a little hesitant, wanting to say something, but he didn't know how to speak.

At this time, Ji Jian turned his head to look at Sui Feng, pouted and smiled: "Let's go, just follow up." After all, he is the head of a faction, and he must not be less calculating in his heart. The Xuanyuan family is always a big family, but it won't always be difficult to get along with the three of us. ”

Sui Feng was noncommittal, only nodded, but did not speak.

The direction in which the three of them traveled was where the west gate of Yuezhou was located. Out of the West Gate, not far away is the 800-mile Shuibo Dongting. These eight hundred miles are only the size of the mortal world, and I am afraid that it is several times larger in this realm.

After the three of them left the city, they set up a blue boat and set sail. But in just a short stick of incense, he arrived at the side of the cave.

From a distance, there are three or two disciples of the Xuanyuan family guarding the shore of this Dongting Lake every short distance. But fortunately, as Ximen Changli expected, this Xuanyuan family only sealed the lake, and did not include the fields by the lake.

"It's supposed to be sunny today, why is there such a big fog in the lake? Simon Changli glanced at it, and his brows immediately furrowed.

Sure enough, there was a vast white mist in the water of this cave, where was there still a little clarity at all? Not to mention the scenery in the middle of the lake, it was the famous Jun Mountain, but it only revealed a vague shadow, and even the turquoise of the whole mountain was hidden in the mist.

Seeing this, Ji Jian also took a sip and said, "When is the fog bad, but at this time, it is really a headache." (To be continued......)
