Shen Mu and the others left the village and continued to march south, passing through several towns, and when they passed by a barren mountain shrouded in mist and sparsely populated, they met a thin Xiucai. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

When Xiucai saw Shen Mu and the others, he hurriedly said, "Do you want to cross this mountain too?" I've heard that there is a toad on this mountain, which looks like a cow and eats people and animals in the past, and several people died yesterday! ”

Shen Mu smiled: "What is there to be afraid of a toad? No matter how big it is, it has no more than a mouth and four legs, and it kicks it into the water with a pop. ”

Xiucai saw that Shen Mu and the four of them were all people who knew kung fu, so he didn't dare to offend, and said repeatedly: "Yes...... What Brother Tai said was very small, seeing Brother Tai with a sword, he must be a person who practices martial arts. Xiaosheng is willing to bid 2,000 yuan to ask Brother Tai to be my bodyguard to escort me across this mountain road, I don't know what Brother Tai wants? ”

Shen Muyi waved his hand and refused: "No, I have always only protected women and not worked for men. ”

Xiucai's face was bitter, and he pleaded: "Brother Tai, think about it again, alas...... After ten years of hard study, I just went to Beijing to take the exam this time, but I couldn't get out because of the demon beasts blocking the way...... What should I do? ”

Zhao Ling'er, who was on the side, also felt that this talent was pitiful, so she said: "Ah Mu, anyway, we have to pass through this mountain, we might as well take him with us." ”

Shen Mu thought about it, so let's be a favor, and said: "Okay~ If you see that people are in trouble, I promised to escort you across this mountain road, our footsteps are very fast, you have to follow closely." ”

Xiucai's face was delighted, and he thanked Shen Mu in a straight voice: "Thank you Shaoxia." ”

Shen Mu didn't want to cheapen this talent like this, so he said, "As for the price......

Xiucai gritted his teeth, as if he had made a lot of determination, and hurriedly said, "I'll add another thousand, for a total of three thousand." ”

Shen Mu rubbed his hands and said, "Okay~ Pay half first!" ”

"Okay, deal." Xiucai hurriedly paid Shen Mu 1,500 yuan.

"Ding-dong, host, gain 1000 happiness."

Shen Mu didn't look down on Xiucai's money at all, but he knew that as long as he got the reward that belonged to the people in his own plane, he could also get happiness points, but he wouldn't get happiness points if he burned and looted the money.

Shen Mu and his party had just walked not far when they encountered a Taoist priest with a big sword on his back and a Dao Feng Immortal Bone blocking the way.

"This place is dangerous, don't stay long!"

Shen Mu had already felt the spiritual pressure emanating from this person's body, obviously this person was extraordinary, he used the investigation technique to take a look, but he couldn't see how this person's cultivation was at all, his heart couldn't help jumping, he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly stepped forward and hugged his fists and asked, "May I ask who you are ......?" ”

The Taoist priest said: "The old man watches the stars at night, and foresees that a great blood-light disaster will occur here today, so I advise you to leave quickly!" ”

Shen Mu was noncommittal, and he hadn't replied yet.

Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and said unceremoniously: "This can't be done, we still have to hurry." ”

The Taoist priest shook the sleeves of his robe and said, "Hmph, just wait and don't listen, if you want to live, go back and go down the mountain quickly!" Then, Edgeworth walked away, turning into a sword light and disappearing between the clouds.

Li Xiaoyao was taken aback: "Flying Immortal! Oops~ Master! ”

Shen Mu didn't think so, this person's cultivation couldn't even be seen by him, and it was naturally expected that he would be able to fly with a sword.

Lin Yueru suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said, "I remember, he is a Sword Saint senior!" The first person in martial arts today! I met him once when I was a kid. ”

"Oops...... Pity! If I had known it, I begged him to take me as a disciple. Li Xiaoyao even said that it was a pity, looking at the predecessors of the Sword Saint who had disappeared into the sky, he could only sigh.

As soon as Xiucai heard the words of the Sword Saint, he retreated and stammered, "Fourth...... Four-digit ...... Shaoxia, I ...... I see ......"

Lin Yueru glanced at it, and Xiucai, who was speechless, said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

Xiucai wiped the cold sweat from the corner of his forehead, "I see...... I'd better go back......"

Lin Yueru was puzzled: "Why? It's not like you haven't seen a monster, what's there to be afraid of? Don't you believe us? ”

"This ...... I...... I think the previous agreement was canceled...... "Xiucai said and ran back with a smoke.

Lin Yueru looked at Xiucai's embarrassed way of running away, and said disdainfully: "Go~ These readers are really useless." ”

Shen Mu and the others continued to hurry, and half an hour later, they came across a small wine shop made of thatch, and a few people were a little thirsty, so they wanted to rest here and buy some wine to drink.

The owner of this small wine shop is a woman, and when she saw Shen Mu and a few people, she hurriedly stepped forward and greeted: "Yo~he~ Are the guest officials here to go out to enjoy the mountains and rivers?" Want something? ”

"Boss lady~ Do you have any wine?" Shen Mu said, and sat down under the hospitality of the proprietress.

The proprietress smiled coquettishly: "The old daughter of the small shop is famous far and wide!" ”

Shen Mu said: "Okay~ Come to two pots to warm up, what do you have in your store to drink and dish?" ”

"Come now!" The proprietress immediately went to prepare the food and drinks.

Zhao Ling'er stroked her forehead hair and said, "This mountain field shop has a unique flavor." ”

Lin Yueru smiled and said, "Yes, but Ling'er, can you drink?" ”

"I'll just drink water." Zhao Ling'er waved her hand, and then said to Li Xiaoyao: "Brother Xiaoyao, don't drink too much." ”

Lin Yueru put on a tigress look, "Sister Ling'er is right, you two big men still want to protect us, if you drink too much, how can you protect us?" ”

Li Xiaoyao and Shen Mu both smiled bitterly, and could only nod their heads again and again.

The proprietress brought the wine and food, and while pouring wine for Shen Mu, she asked, "Dare to ask~ Where did the young heroes come from?" ”

"Gangnam."

The proprietress nodded, and then said with a smile: "What about me~ My hometown is Chuanjiang, and I have lived here in the last few years...... Many people have either moved to Lingnan or come here to earn a living, and I want to wait until the world is peaceful before returning to my hometown......"

As soon as Shen Mu heard this, he said: "Since you are here to beg for a living, you must know that there are toad spirits infested here, why do you dare to open a shop here?" With that, he poured the wine on the hostess's face.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a puff of white smoke rose up, and everyone was stunned, only to see that the proprietress had turned into a huge toad essence.

"Coo-goo-goo...... toad spirit glared at a few people, "you, how did you see through me?" ”

The corners of Shen Mu's mouth rose and a sneer rose: "Hmph, this place is deserted, how can anyone come here to beg for a living, not to mention a woman, who dares to open a shop in a place infested with toad spirits, isn't she looking for death?" ”

Toad Jing didn't expect this, she just pretended to be the proprietress of the wine shop, let the guests drink poisonous wine, and then eat it, increasing her cultivation, "You, you are really thoughtful, but you are all going to die!" ”
