Dazedly hearing the sound of dripping water, Yao Ximu suddenly felt damp and cold, his heart shivered, and he suddenly opened his eyes.After waking up, his eyes were pitch black, his clothes were completely wet, and his whole body was cold. He quickly checked his whole body. Fortunately, his internal energy was full and there was no internal injury.The true qi circulated, and gradually the whole body became alive, and the limbs were full of strength, and they no longer felt cold.Yao Ximu reached out and touched the slippery stone wall in front of him.The stone wall is still dripping water, and there are ticking sounds all over the place.Trying to straighten up, rubbing her head to the top, water droplets flowed down her hair into her neck, making Yao Ximu tremble shiveringly.

What is this place?Yao Ximu was puzzled and listened carefully. There was a rumbling sound of water above, as if it was underwater.

He touched the stone wall and proceeded carefully step by step. Even so, he still fell several times.Holding his sore buttocks, he grinned and walked on the winding stone path for about two sticks of incense. The dripping water droplets converged into a stream. Yao Ximu waded forward in the Lingling stream, the water was icy cold Biting, unbearable.Yao Ximu thought that since water can flow, there must be an exit. With this in mind, he gritted his teeth and walked along the water for several miles, gradually seeing a light ahead.

Seeing light in the darkness made him happy, and he decided that it was the exit, so he immediately accelerated his speed and continued to move forward one step at a time.

The distance from the light was getting closer and closer, and when he got close, Yao Ximu could see clearly that it was an extremely narrow cave. Looking from inside, it was bright and unclear, but his ears were filled with the sound of whistling wind and rushing water.

The cave is narrow, but it can pass through people, and they barely squeezed through.Walking through the cave, the eyes suddenly opened up, but here was an open and flat place. Yao Ximu, who was used to the darkness, suddenly saw the light and couldn't adapt. It took a long time before he slowly let go of the palm covering his eyes.

The long-lost light is accompanied by the blue water, and the swaying water shadow is projected on the stone wall.

The sound of rushing water resounded in his ears, and Yao Ximu faintly felt that something was wrong. After he ran around and figured out the terrain here, he was completely disappointed, and the blood in his chest was cooling down bit by bit—it was still at the bottom of the lake, and Yao Ximu could tell that it was a cave somewhere at the bottom of Tianxian Lake.

Why are you here?Yao Ximu guessed that after he broke the door of death, the passage where the door of life was located led directly to here.Maybe it has something to do with his fate, the secret is not clear, so don't think too much, the most important problem he faces now is how to get out.

There is a rumor in the rivers and lakes, "It is as white as the snow on the Silver Mountain, and as deep as the water in Tianxian Lake." This sentence can already explain how deep the water is. If it is shallow, anyone can swim to the island, so why bother?Moreover, there are so many undercurrents and eddies in the deep water, it is very dangerous even for those with excellent water quality to enter the water, not to mention Yao Ximu's poor water quality, diving out of this way is absolutely unfeasible.

"Hey." He sat down, resting his chin in distress and looking ahead.Sitting quietly for a while, he felt deeply unlucky, and also felt that the people who set up the formation had vicious hearts and sent people to such a place after breaking the life gate.He muttered to himself: "I'm here, I'll either die of sleepiness or starvation. No matter which way I die, it's really useless. Luo Qing can't wait for me, will he go back and report? The young master will come to save me ?

Only a clear voice sounded from behind: "Who is there?"

There are still people here!Yao Ximu turned his head suddenly when he heard the sound, the blue water light was swimming on the man, his clothes were torn, his beard and hair were like grass, his dirty face was full of cynical smiles, he couldn't hide it when he described his poverty The temperament is bright and natural, and it looks very chic and suave in the sloppy.

Yao Ximu felt very familiar with this person, as if he had seen him before, jumped up immediately, pointed at him and asked in doubt, "You look familiar?"

The man bit the apple in his hand, looked at Yao Ximu for a while, and made sure that he didn't know him, with a disapproving expression on his face: "Don't be so close, tell me how you provoke the master of Lingxi Pond? Why are you locked up at the bottom of Tianxian Lake?" Already?" After speaking, he was taken aback, but also noticed something, staring at Yao Ximu's face, narrowed his eyes slightly: "Your voice sounds familiar, have I really met you somewhere?"

Hearing his voice, Yao Ximu thought about it for a while, and suddenly his eyes lit up, and he rushed forward and grabbed the man's skirt, surprised and delighted: "You are Li Huimao, Brother Li!" With a mask on his face, he put his pretty face in front of Li Huimao, his eyes fluttered and his eyelashes were black, "I'm Yao Ximu!"

"Ouch!" Li Huimao took a step back after being hit by him, grabbed his shoulder after throwing away the apple, and looked at him again, "It's you! You've grown so big, you're as tall as me."

The two were immersed in the joy of reunion, and after a while, Li Huimao asked the heavy question again: "My unlucky brother, you haven't told me yet, did you offend the master of Lingxi pond? Why did you come here? gone?"

"I don't know the owner of the pond." Yao Ximu was both happy and sad, and told Li Huimao how he went to the island and broke through to come here.

After hearing this, Li Huimao snorted coldly, "Zhu Huaijin likes to show off, and he likes to play tricks." He grabbed Yao Ximu's hand, "Come on, this way."

Yao Ximu's eyes were sharp, and he caught a glimpse of a fleshy scar on his wrist, protruding from the skin, which was very conspicuous, and he couldn't help being surprised: "Brother Li, what's wrong with your hand?"

Li Huimao paused for a moment, then withdrew his hand and raised it to his eyes, with a cold and arrogant smile on his lips, "This is the retribution for offending Zhu Qing, the owner of Lingxi Pond. I said, no." He stretched out his other hand with the same scar on his wrist, "I broke the meridians of my hands and feet, damn it, it's too hateful!"

Yao Ximu grabbed his hand and blurted out: "But you act as usual."

Li Huimao withdrew his hand and shook it, "Hmph, can this little trick really destroy me?"

Yao Ximu said with concern: "Brother Li, Jin Dacheng said that you have not heard from me for several years, have you been locked up here all this time? And I found in an inn that the human skin on someone's face was made by you. "Yao Ximu pointed to the bottom of his earlobe, "Here, there is a small mole, others don't know it, but I can recognize it." Li Huimao nodded, motioning him to continue talking.

Yao Ximu thought of something, stared at his face closely, suddenly opened his eyes wide, and said with a smile: "Is this your real face?"

Li Huimao turned his face sideways, touched the beard on his face, and smiled slightly: "Is it ugly?"

Yao Ximu shook his head, smirked and said, "It's not ugly, it's similar to my master."

"This is just a joke. Qingyang Envoy Fengshen Yulang, many people in the Jianghu are fascinated by him, how can I compare?"

"I'm telling the truth." Yao Ximu looked at him, "How did your penis fall into the hands of others? What's going on?"

"It's a long story." Li Huimao was imprisoned in Tianxian Lake for several years. No one spoke, and he often talked to himself.After such a long time, I still hold back my words, very lonely, and hope to have an audience.Seeing Yao Ximu, I can't wait to hold him and say enough.I originally thought of taking him into the stone house where I lived and making some tea, the two of them drank tea and talked slowly.Seeing Yao Ximu ask at this time, Li Huimao couldn't hold back any more, and immediately talked happily like beans pouring out of a bamboo tube.

He thought for a while, starting from the parting between Yao Ximu and Yao Ximu in Heju Valley that year, "When I left, I saw that the camellias in the mountains were well taken care of and bloomed beautifully, so I dug up two of them."

"Oh!" Yao Ximu pointed at him, "That's what you did."

"I'm a thief. Thieves don't leave empty space." Li Huimao waved his hand and continued: "I had an appointment with Zhu Huaijin before, and after leaving Crane Valley, I came to Tianxian Lake. I thought that Zhu Huaijin liked camellia very much, and I specially gave it to him With it, but I'm more..." He chuckled twice, then raised his head in a blatant joy: "I miss his butt even more, so I arrived at Lingxi Pond a few days earlier than the appointed time."

Yao Ximu straightened his waist and was shocked: "What?" He came back to his senses a little bit, and said in disbelief: "You and Master Zhu..." Yao Ximu couldn't express, and stretched out his hand to gesture, "It's that kind of relation?"

Li Huimao didn't answer directly, but just put his hands on his hips, and asked in a wild and uninhibited posture, "How do you evaluate Zhu Huaijin, the master of Lingxi pond in the world?"

Yao Ximu rolled his eyes, thinking about Luo Qing's evaluation of Zhu Huaijin, "A modest gentleman, with both talent and appearance, well, there is another one who is elusive."

"Hahaha." Li Huimao raised his head and laughed, his laughter was exhausted, he covered his mouth and coughed, and after he sneezed twice, "It's just mystification that he's both talented and beautiful. It's just like saying he's despicable and scheming. That's very good, after all he wants to cover up his other identity." He asked Yao Ximu, "Have you ever been to Jinling?"

"I've been there, I'm from Jinling." Yao Ximu nodded.

"Let's hear about Liu Shuzhu, the young master of Shengyuan Square in Jinling."

"I've heard of it, I've seen it before." Yao Ximu nodded again, "This time he is still ranked third in Shengyuanfang's Famous Flower List. But, what does he have to do with Zhu Huaijin? He can't even get a piece of it. .”

"Who said it doesn't matter? Zhu Huaijin is Liu Shuzhu, they are the same person. Zhu Huaijin is a born rabbit and doesn't like women. However, he is a hypocrite. He is afraid that others will find out. He pretends to take several concubines and raises a bunch of maidservants. And I never bring any male servants by my side, only females, who look greedy and lustful, but in fact I am afraid that I will not be able to control myself and eat the grass beside the nest, which will ruin my reputation. Why is he always not in Lingxi Pond? Because he is known as Liu Shuzhu My identity is in Jinling, selling my ass." Li Huimao was a little excited, let out a breath, put on a serious expression, and smacked his mouth, "I've been talking for a long time, I'm a little thirsty." He raised his arm sideways, embraced Holding Yao Ximu's shoulder, "Let's go, little brother, although my brother lives in a rudimentary place, he can still boil water and make tea. I'll take you there, and we two brothers will drink and chat."

Zhu Huaijin, the son of a famous family in the rivers and lakes, on one side is the owner of Lingxi Pond, in charge of the [-]-mile boundary of Tianxian Lake, who responds to everyone;The gap between the two was too great, so Yao Ximu couldn't fully digest this information for the time being, and couldn't recover from the shock.
