The door-to-door son-in-law of the beautiful president

Chapter 451 Huge Old Turtle, Mysterious Woman
At one o'clock in the morning, the entire inner garden of Xuangong seemed to be quiet. Li Jiangnan quietly got out of bed, came to the door, and first pricked up his ears to listen to the movement in other rooms.

He secretly took a breath, transporting the true energy to both ears, so that with the help of the spiritual energy in his body, his ear strength could be greatly improved.

He could hear the voice of the servant talking in his sleep in a room not far away, and he could also hear Hachiro Hirakawa's well-proportioned and lengthy breathing in the room downstairs.

Li Jiangnan reckoned that Hachiro Hirakawa had already fallen asleep. People who practiced all the year round would be like him. Once they fell asleep, their breathing would be extremely smooth and long. With high-quality sleep, the body's energy would recover faster than ordinary people.

However, Li Jiangnan didn't hear Yumiko's breathing sound. It is estimated that this is not Yumiko's residence. Neither Yumiko nor Anri Hanako lived in this building.

After confirming that there were no obstacles outside, Li Jiangnan secretly relaxed the zhenqi in his body, no longer controlled the acupuncture points in his body, and restored his appearance to Li Jiangnan's original appearance.

Because he went out in the middle of the night, he was essentially a thief, with the face of "Li Lanjiang", once someone found out, it would be bad.

It's better to be more straightforward and act like a thief with Li Jiangnan's true colors.

It's just that he had an extra thought, and deliberately changed into the black night clothes he brought in privately, covered his face with a black scarf, and brought some iron nails for self-defense, then gently opened the south window and jumped out.

In the quiet courtyard, there was only the sound of gurgling water from the terraces and waterside pavilions. Li Jiangnan first hid under the rockery to identify the direction to go, and then quietly got into a bamboo forest.

Before entering the palace, he had spent a lot of time studying the map. He knew very well that the sacred mountain restricted area, which was essentially equivalent to the Xuan family cemetery, was located in the northwest corner of the inner garden of the Xuan family.

From the courtyard where Hirakawa Hachiro is located to the restricted area of ​​Shenshan, you need to go south first, bypassing the most heavily guarded Tianxuan residence, and then go west, passing through a garden in the inner garden of Xuangong, and finally reach the Shenshan in the northwest corner .

For the sake of safety, Li Jiangnan sneaked all the way, and it took more than half an hour for the journey of ten miles.

After arriving at the foot of Shenshan, Li Jiangnan avoided the gate of the watchtower, climbed the high wall deftly, and entered Shenshan without anyone noticing.

Li Jiangnan quickened his pace and hurried up the mountain along a bluestone road. On both sides of the mountain road, there were ancient trees of unknown ages, as well as the large-scale Xuan family cemetery hidden in the deep mountains that could be seen occasionally.

Li Jiangnan didn't come here to rob tombs, he wasn't interested in the treasures in the tombs of the Xuan family, what he wanted was medicinal herbs, and they had to be medicinal herbs that grew in the mountain turtle cave.

To find something like the God Turtle Grass, one must first find a mountain tortoise, and Li Jiangnan has done detailed research in advance, and has a certain understanding of the habits of wild mountain tortoises.

Wild mountain turtles are basically nocturnal animals. They only come out of their caves to look for food at night, and when it is almost dawn, they will return to their caves.

If there are pools and lakes in the mountains, they are the favorite foraging places for wild mountain turtles, because there are often small fish and shrimps in the water, which can provide a lot of business for wild mountain turtles.

With this understanding, Li Jiangnan knew what to do. He needed to find a place with water in this vast holy mountain.

Li Jiangnan wandered around in the forest for a while, and soon he heard the sound of a gurgling stream. He followed the direction of the water to find it. In a place with a slightly flat terrain, he saw a gurgling stream flowing down a cliff. Gathered into a small puddle.

The surrounding of this small pool is full of rocks. In the rock pile on the left side of the pool, there is a natural hot spring bubbling with steam. Li Jiangnan is not interested in hot springs, so he just passed by and squatted on the muddy ground beside the pool. Here, look carefully.

After carefully inspecting along the edge of the pool, he found the tortoise's paw prints in the mud. Then he looked at the pool and thought to himself: It seems that he has found the right place.

There must be tortoises coming out of their holes to look for food in this pool of water, but I don’t know if there are any old tortoises with a lifespan of more than 500 years.

Li Jiangnan couldn't bear to wait for the turtles to forage before returning to the cave without haste. He ran to the cliff where the stream flowed down, picked up the pebbles by the pool, and threw them into the pool one by one. .

Plop, plop, there was a sound, and the waves were surging. Li Jiangnan crouched behind the boulder, hiding his figure, and paying attention to the situation in the pool.

Disturbed by more than a dozen stones, the turtles in the pool did not dare to stay in the water anymore. After waiting for more than ten minutes, the turtles in the pool could no longer hold their breath and swiped their claws desperately. , in all directions, to the shore of the pool.

The first ones to come out of the water were all small turtles, a large group of them. Although they were small in size, they moved extremely nimbly. They swam to the shore in two or three strokes, and then quickly passed through the pile of rocks with their limbs and disappeared into the grass.

It is the older turtle that comes out of the water following the little turtle.Li Jiangnan took a rough look, good guy, the information is indeed correct, the old tortoises in this holy mountain are frighteningly big, and even the size of a few old tortoises have surpassed the largest tortoise Li Jiangnan has ever seen with his own eyes. I don't know how many hundred years old it is.

Li Jiangnan held his breath, held his temper, and stared closely at the largest turtle. Judging by its size, the turtle is estimated to have a lifespan of at least 500 or even thousands of years. It has not landed yet, so there is no hurry. Swim slowly to the shore.

"Calm down, don't disturb it, follow it quietly, find its lair, and find the Spirit Turtle Grass in one fell swoop..."

Li Jiangnan warned himself that he must be careful and cautious. Things like old turtles are far more alert than those little ones. If it is alarmed, or if it perceives danger, it may shrink its head into its neck and die. Climb again, so you won't be able to find the turtle hole.

But at this time, on the other side of the water pool, in the direction of the uphill road, there was a sound of someone running on the bluestone road.

The hurried footsteps were particularly abrupt in this quiet night mountain forest. The old tortoise in the shallow water was obviously about to go ashore. He should have heard the footsteps and turned around without hesitation. He also refused to come out.

'Damn it, my turtle! '

'Which crazy is this, what are you doing up the mountain so late? '

Li Jiangnan watched the old tortoise hide in the water, feeling so angry in his heart, he kept cursing his mother.

At this time, under the dim moonlight, I saw a woman in a palace costume running from a distance, with a flustered expression, and she ran in a hurry, and she didn't know what she wanted to do when she ran up the mountain alone.

Li Jiangnan hid his figure and peeped secretly, only to see that the woman in palace attire went straight to the hot spring beside the pool, then took out a small paper bag from her sleeve, tore it to pieces in a hurry, and put the inside of the bag into pieces. The white powder was all sprinkled into the hot spring.

After doing this, the woman in the palace costume turned around and ran away. It should be because she acted too hastily. The woman accidentally fell into the pile of rocks, but she didn't care about the pain at all. When she got up, she endured the pain for a while. He limped and continued running down the mountain, as if if he ran a little slower, he would die.

Li Jiangnan thought for a while, but couldn't figure it out. What was this woman trying to do with her furtiveness?
In the middle of the night, a woman didn't sleep, and she sneaked up to this kind of mausoleum that only ghosts can haunt, and hurriedly sprinkled a bag of powder into the hot spring. What kind of monster is this?

After the woman in palace attire ran away, Li Jiangnan leaned out from behind the boulder, tiptoed to the edge of the hot spring, and squatted down to have a look.

On the stone beside the hot spring, there was still some white powder that had not been melted by the heat in time. Li Jiangnan picked up a little bit with his fingers and sniffed it with the tip of his nose.

The next moment, Li Jiangnan smelled a foul and sour smell, and couldn't help but gradually frowned.
