The three of them looked down at the fish, then looked up at the old fishing man.
The old man turned around and stared at them with his cold eyes.
The two sides stared at each other for a while, then Yu Qing touched Nan Zhu with his elbow.
Nanzhu understood, immediately put on a dry smile, and leaned over to catch the fish on the ground.
The white monster fish was indeed a bit strange. Its pectoral fins were like palms. It was crawling on the reef with its head and tail swaying, intending to crawl back to the sea. However, the speed of movement was too slow, and Nanzhu leaned over and caught it.
Nanzhu held the fish in both hands, showed kindness to the old fishing man, and then approached him with a stern look on his face. Yu Qing and Mu Aotie also followed him.
When I got there, I discovered that there was a puddle next to the reef where the old man was sitting. There were gaps in the rocks that connected to the sea water. There were already more than a dozen fish of various kinds in the shallow water.
Nanzhu looked very obedient, squatted down, and gently put the fish into the puddle. .
While the old fishing man was sizing them up, Yu Qing turned slightly to let the light from the island come through, and then deliberately clasped his hands in front of his belly, deliberately exposing the fish ring on his hand in the light, deliberately letting the other party see it.
The old fisherman's eyes did not linger on the ring, or it did not attract his attention at all. He turned back and continued to bait, then threw the hook into the water and continued fishing where he sat on the ground.
His attitude was that he loved everyone and nothing was worthy of his attention. At least the three people in front of him were not worth taking seriously.
The three brothers looked at each other in confusion.
Nanzhu felt his hands were sticky and couldn't help but raise his hands to smell the fishy smell. He felt like his hot face was pressed against his cold butt, but he didn't dare to show any dissatisfaction. After all, he couldn't understand the depth of the person in front of him.
In the end, Yu Qing raised his hands and said, "May I ask your senior's surname?"
After I finished speaking, I waited for a while, but found out that he was focused on fishing and there was no response.
Yu Qing could only speak louder, "Senior..."
"Don't make any noise." The old man interrupted, "Didn't you see that I'm fishing?" Then he turned around and asked, "What do you want to do?"
Yu Qing moved forward with a gesture of cupping his hands, his attitude was very respectful, and his purpose was to show the fish ring to the other party on purpose. "We came to the island to look for someone. I don't know if senior is the person we are looking for. May I ask your senior's name?"
Old man: "My name has nothing to do with you, and there is no one you are looking for on this island."
Nanzhu couldn't help but uttered, "How do you know there is no one we are looking for on this island?"
The old man's eyes fell back on the fishing line float on the sea. "I have lived here for a long time. Except for some occasional passers-by, there is no one else on the island. Those who stayed for a long time are all dead and there are no living things."
Nanzhudun laughed, "Senior, what you said is an exaggeration. As far as we know, there is a non-monster living on this island. It seems to be a stubborn octopus monster with many arms and legs. Is that old monster Is it possible to die too?”
The corners of the old man's mouth tightened suddenly, and then slowly relaxed, and he nodded slightly and said: "Yes, he is dead."
Nanzhu was stunned, "Dead?"
The old man said with a solemn expression: "I killed him."
As soon as these words came out, the three brothers were all shocked. It is said that the monster that is not a monster is a cultivator of Shangxuan. It can occupy this island in the mysterious sea of underworld for many years. It is conceivable that this old man can take it. Being killed, the strength will naturally be even more terrifying.
The three of them also became more and more suspicious that this was the mysterious owner behind Lingxi Zhai.
Yu Qing immediately stopped hesitating, showed the ring with one hand, and simply asked: "Senior, do you know this ring?"
Hearing this, the old fishing man looked back subconsciously, and his eyes fell on the ring. He looked at it for a while, without any disturbance in his expression, and asked: "I don't like or recognize these bits and pieces. Broken stuff."
After speaking, he turned his head and continued to stare at Fuzi.
Yu Qing was startled, and then asked: "Does the senior know about 'Lingxi Zhai'?"
The old man said coldly: "I don't know, I don't know, and I don't know what you are talking about."
Yu Qing: "I heard that the owner of 'Lingxi Zhai' lives on this island. Since my senior has lived here for a long time, don't you know him?"
The old man suddenly took a deep breath, as if trying to suppress his emotions, "Isn't what I said in human language? Don't you understand? Today, because you took the initiative to pick up fish for me, I won't care about you. , Normally, such noise would have screwed your heads. Get out of here before I get angry, get out of here!"
Nanzhu wiped his hands on the clothes he was wearing anxiously. He always talked a lot and wanted to argue, but Yu Qing reached out to his chest to block it, shook his head to stop talking, "Let's go."
Nanzhu was puzzled and pointed at the old man, "Didn't you mean..."
Yu Qing grabbed him and dragged him away. Mu Aotie also pushed Nanzhu and followed suit.
The three of them did not take the water route this time. Yu Qing took the lead in walking on the rugged reef area, which was also full of puddles that could not be carried away by the low tide.
Nanzhu turned around after a few steps until he could no longer see the old fishing man clearly. He estimated that his words would not be heard, and then whispered: "Old Fifteen, are you just leaving like this?"
Yu Qing also looked back and said, "I've already reached that point. There's no need to provoke others and cause trouble for yourself."
Nanzhu looked strange, "Don't you want to confirm his identity?"
Yu Qing: "No need, he shouldn't be the mysterious owner."
Nanzhu was surprised, "How can you see it?"
Mu Aotie answered, "The shopkeeper of Lingxi Zhai asked the owner for permission and informed us of the address after getting permission. If he is the owner, there is no need to pretend not to know him when we meet."
Nanzhu was thoughtful, and gradually came to his senses. He quickly looked at the environment where he was walking and asked, "What are we doing now?"
Mu Aotie couldn't answer this question.
Yu Qing: "There are eight people in this area of Zilan Island. We saw two sharks, as well as Qingya, Pang Chengqiu and Cui You. In addition to the guy who was fishing just now, there are only two others we haven't seen yet. Let's go Take a look."
Nanzhu was a little worried again, "What else are you looking at? Aren't the remaining ones the Long Xingyun and a master you mentioned?"
Yu Qing: "That's what people say. How can we be sure without seeing it with our own eyes? If there is no owner of Lingxi Zhai on Zilan Island, then Long Xingyun came here to ambush us. It's not as simple as leaking the news." "
Nanzhu was startled for a moment, his brows slowly furrowed, and he said solemnly: "You mean, you deliberately designed a trap?"
Yu Qing didn't say anything else, and his brows were obviously worried.
This dark area is considered a low-lying place, and because of this, it is often flooded by tides.
The three of them arrived at a slope and nestled in the shadows. Yu Qing whispered: "I'm going to confirm. You two are waiting for me here. Don't follow me blindly. They are in a higher position and their field of vision should be better." It’s better. If there are too many people there, it’s easier to be discovered. It’s easier for me to get closer by myself.”
After repeatedly admonishing and convincing the two of them with reason, and making sure that they would no longer follow him emotionally, he quickly left.
Climbing over the slope, the cat's body got to the edge of a glorious patch of purple thatch grass. After taking advantage of the situation to cover up, he stared at the wisps of floating mist using Guanzi Jue for a while, determining the approximate positions of the characters on each side. Finally, he quietly set off again.
Hiding here and there, the cat body slipped around, and finally locked the target's location with his own eyes, but he couldn't see the target. His sight was blocked by a piece of purple grass. Unless he jumped to the top of the purple grass, it would be close, but he wouldn't Maybe if you do this, it will be easily discovered when it pops up.
Or through the purple thatch area, but he didn't dare to get too close.
He has also heard about the strength of the number one local vigilante in the sea market. That is a position that he can defeat with his fists in a fight for supremacy. He is not a decoration, but a master of the Xuanxuan realm. The person beside Long Xingyun can be called a master by Qingya, and his strength can be imagined.
With that kind of person's strength, as long as he dares to get close, he will definitely be discovered. When the time comes, he will be like a sheep in a tiger's mouth and can't even think about running away.
The reason why I dared to get close to Qingya before was because in the water, if I moved more gently, there wouldn't be any movement. On land, even the slightest movement from stepping on the ground would not escape the keen detection of an expert.
After much thought, he still didn't dare to take the risk. As a last resort, Yu Qing quietly retreated and returned to his two senior brothers dejectedly.
When he saw him coming back, Nan Zhuli asked: "How is it?"
"It's a waste of time, it's hard to get close..." Yu Qing immediately explained the situation and whispered in the ears of the two senior brothers for a while, asking for their help.
The two of them naturally didn't say anything. After understanding the meaning, they immediately escaped into the darkness.
And Yu Qing climbed up to the bright area on the slope again, continued to sneak around, and after a lot of effort, he sneaked back to the hiding place where he didn't dare to go too far.
After chatting for a while, it was estimated that the two senior brothers were almost in place. He grabbed Big Tou, pointed in the direction, and whispered: "Big Tou, Lao Seven and Lao Jiu are at the foot of the mountain over there. Go and find them. That’s it. Be careful and don’t let others find out.”
After saying that, he let go of his hand, "Big Head" tilted his head towards him, then fluttered his wings and flew away.
This was something he had discussed with those two people. As long as he saw the "big head" coming to find them, it proved that he was ready here and could take action over there.
After watching it disappear, he turned around and stared at the target's hiding place, waiting.
Not long after, there was a sudden violent "bang" somewhere at the foot of the mountain, making people wonder what had happened.
As expected, Yinshanhe and Longxingyun, who could not be directly seen, jumped up and stood on the leaves of the purple grass and looked at the place where the movement came from.
After a while, the two of them flew away together and rushed to the place where the noise came from to check.
After seeing their faces clearly and seeing them leaving, Yu Qing immediately turned away and quickly slipped back down the dark slope.
After waiting for a while, Nanzhu and Mu Aotie, who immediately got into the water and ran away when there was any movement, rushed back to meet them.
When Nanzhu met him, he asked, "How is it? Do you see clearly?"
Yu Qing didn't answer yet. He first used Guan Zi Jue to make sure no one was approaching, and then replied in a low voice: "I saw it. It is indeed that bastard Long Xingyun. His ghost is still there."
Nanzhu was shocked and doubtful, "In other words, there is really no boss on this island. Is Lingxi Zhai really setting up a trap to harm us?"
Mu Aotie looked puzzled, "Then what's the deal with the emblem of the precept face of Lingxi Zhai?"
Yu Qing was silent for a long time, and finally seemed to have made a decision. He said in a deep voice: "Start with Long Xingyun first, tie him up first!"
