At this time, Wan Lin and Xiaoya stood quietly by the lake and gazed at the intoxicating scenery of the mountains. They had no idea that their images, together with the scenery of the lake and mountains in front of them, had been deeply imprinted into the mind of the ignorant young man deep in the mountains behind them.
, he finally walked out of the mountains where he had lived in seclusion for generations, and opened a new chapter in Lingxiumen, an ancient martial arts family.
The weather in the mountains is unpredictable. The drizzle that had been falling for a short time suddenly stopped in the blink of an eye, and the blue sky suddenly appeared in the gray sky.
Wan Lin and Wan Lin then looked around as if they were waking up from a dream. Wan Lin turned around and saw Xie Chao's eyes full of deep thought, and asked with a smile: "Xiao Chao, what are you thinking about? You are so fascinated."
Xie Chao was stunned for a moment, suddenly pulled back the racing thoughts in his mind, smiled shyly and said: "Haha, I didn't think about anything." As he said that, he lowered his head and looked at Xiaohua and Xiaobai in front of Wan Lin.
They were wandering around the forest floor, seemingly losing their purpose.
He quickly said: "Look at Xiaohua, have they lost their scent?" Wan Lin and Xiaoya looked down, and sure enough they saw two leopards running back and forth nearby, lowering their heads and sniffing hard.
He was lying on the grass with a blank look on his face.
Wan Lin raised his head and looked around, and said with a smile: "The other party has been away from here for a while, and it has just rained, so the smell left by the other party must have disappeared. There is no need to look for it. Since we guessed that the other party is on the other side of the lake, then
Let’s talk about it then.”
As he spoke, he shouted: "Xiaohua, Xiaobai, let's not look for it anymore. Let's go directly to the other side of the lake." As he said that, he raised his finger and pointed to the other side of the lake.
When the two leopards saw Wan Lin pointing to the opposite side of the lake, they turned around and rushed towards the lake, looking excited. Xiaoya saw their excited look and shouted quickly: "Come back quickly and go around the lake!"
It turned out that the two leopards saw Wan Lin pointing to the other side of the lake and thought he was going to swim directly through the cold water. Wan Lin and Xie Chao both laughed. The two leopards opened their mouths and turned to look at Wan Lin, smiling.
Wagging his big tail, he ran forward along the lake.
The sky was gradually getting darker, and a few stars had emerged from the gray sky. Several people were all masters of martial arts, and they walked very fast by the lake.
At this time, Wan Lin and Xiaoya had already taken out their flashlights and shined them on their feet. Two bright flashlight beams rose and fell by the dark lake, and the white electric light in their hands reflected on the calm lake surface.
It had just rained at this time, and the rugged mountains were extremely slippery. Not only were the rocks by the lake very slippery, but you could also step into the swamps in the low-lying areas if you were not careful. So both of them took out their flashlights and shined them.
At the feet of three people.
Several people walked briskly for several hours in the dark night, and finally before dawn they saw the lakeside and hillside in the distance, dotted with yellow lights twinkling.
Wan Lin and Xiaoya were stunned when they saw the light in the distance, and quickly stopped. Xie Chao, who was behind them, also walked a few steps to the two of them, looked at the light in the distance in amazement and said, "My
Oh my god, why are there so many people here?"
From the lights all over the lakeside and the hillside, several people have already seen that there are at least a thousand people coming to participate in the martial arts competition deep in this mountain. Otherwise, there would not be so many dots of lights on the hillside and the lakeside.
of lights.
Wan Lin frowned and looked towards the mountainside in the distance. A series of car lights were flickering on the mountainside. It was obvious that there were many vehicles driving over overnight.
Xiaoya stared at the distance for a while, then turned to ask Xie Chao: "When did electricity come on here?" Xie Chao looked at the lights in the distance and whispered: "Last year, a large group of people came to build roads in the mountains.
A lot of poles have been erected on the mountain, and wires have been put up in the past few months to electrify this place."
After Xiaoya listened, she turned to Wan Lin and said: "It seems that the local government here is planning to use this martial arts conference to develop the high-quality tourism resources here, so it has spent a lot of money to build roads and electrify it. It seems that the radio base station is also
It was built at that time."
Wan Lin nodded, stared into the distance and said: "I guess so, this is also a good thing. If you want to get rich, build roads first. This is indeed a good thing for the mountain people deep in the mountains. There are so many here now.
"People, I guess most of them come here to travel and observe, there will never be so many martial arts people attending the conference."
"Yes, the mountains and rivers here are beautiful, and the scenery is beautiful. It has high-quality tourism resources that are not found in other areas. If developed, it can indeed benefit the local people and promote regional economic development." Xiaoya replied in a low voice, but then said with some worry: "This
If Takahashi is hidden among so many people, it will be difficult for even Xiaohua and Xiaobai to find him. Unless they can get close to him, it will be difficult to find him from the scent of so many people."
Wan Lin lowered his head and looked at the two leopards who had run to a rock in front and were standing up to look forward. He nodded and replied: "Yes, don't worry about it for now. Let's go over and take a look at the situation before we decide on the next step."
action".
As he spoke, he turned to look at Xie Chao and asked: "Do you know where Grandpa and the others are settling down? Yes. Xiaojiu told me before leaving that after they came over, they lived directly in a hunter's house halfway up the mountain. The few hunters over there we
We are very familiar with each other and we are all good friends."
After listening to this, Wan Lin raised his head and looked at the hillside in the distance. He knew that the old boss and his grandfather would not stay in places where crowds gathered. They must find a relatively quiet place to settle down. The side of the mountainside was far away from those crowds, which was suitable for them.
live.
"Xiao Chao, let's go find the two old men first. You can lead the way." Wan Lin immediately said to Xie Chao, then put the flashlight in his hand.
Xie Chao agreed and took the flashlight and walked forward. Wan Lin and Xiaoya walked to the rock in front, bent down to pick up Xiaohua and Xiaobai, and then followed Xie Chao forward.
At this time, with Xie Chao leading the way, there is no need for the two leopards to search for the target. Besides, if you go further, you are very likely to encounter those participating in the martial arts conference. In such a dark night, if the two leopards suddenly come from
Jumping out of the darkness will definitely cause panic among outsiders.
A few people walked along the lake for a few kilometers, and the two leopards had already fallen asleep in the arms of Wan Lin and Xiaoya. They ran for dozens of kilometers on the mountain road after getting off the helicopter, and now they are wandering in the mountains again
He was a little tired for a long time. Now he lay in his master's arms and fell asleep quickly. Only his two erect ears were still stirring slowly.
As soon as Xie Chao turned around the foot of a mountain in front of him, his footsteps suddenly stopped. He raised the flashlight in his left hand to shine on the hillside in front of him, and with his right hand he pulled out the scimitar from his waist with a "click" sound.
