"Lu Shaoxia, thank you for saving your life this time." Taozhi and Zheng Juefei were supported and came to Lu Ci one after another, and thanked them. Among the many poisoned people, their two palace masters were not spared. It's just that because of the deep internal strength, the symptoms are milder, and they are not so out of shape just now.

Of course, the first person to fall was Meng Xiluo, the leopard originally belonged to the forest, she rode the leopard, it was completely effortless, and she was far ahead. And although she covered the scarf, the scarf could not block the invasion of the miasma, so the symptoms were more serious than others. After taking the antidote, although her body improved, she couldn't pull down this face to thank Lu Ci.

was thanked by the two of them in public, Lu Ci was a little embarrassed, raised his hand and touched the back of his head, smiled, and said, "The Peach Palace Lord and the Zheng Palace Lord are polite." Besides, it was not my credit that it was my Master's foresight that saved us all. ”

"Dare to ask Lu Shaoxia's master?" A curious light flashed in Zheng Juefei's eyes, looking at Lu Ci's face in the hope of getting an answer.

Lu Ci lowered his gaze slightly, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Mr. Duan." I'm just an outsider. ”

"It turned out to be Mr. Duan, who has been known for a long time. I heard that Mr. Duan accepted apprentices, and the conditions were extremely strict, and it was already very good for Lu Shaoxia to be able to become his disciple. Zheng Juefei opened his eyes in surprise, and then returned to normal. In the whole of Dongzhou, who does not know Mr. Duan's name, his medical skills are exquisite, far better than those imperial doctors in the royal family. Although he is highly respected by the people of the rivers and lakes, he is unusually low-key and rarely shows up.

After Taozhi and Zheng Juefei left, people came one after another to thank Lu Ci, and soon there were people around him, and he became a big celebrity for a while. However, this big celebrity is not easy to be, and he will soon be a little overwhelmed.

"Come, little talker, sit down and rest." Lu Jingxing helped Ling Xiao to sit down on a moss-covered stump. The two glanced at Lu Ci and smiled inadvertently, thinking it was very interesting.

Ling Xiao raised his hand and brushed the broken hair that stuck to his forehead due to sweat, and sighed softly: "Lu Ci, the life-saving benefactor, is embarrassed enough." ”

"Indeed." Lu Jingxing nodded, his eyes clear.

After almost an hour's pause, everyone's physical strength had almost recovered. And the miasma ahead is also gradually thinning with the shift of the sun, and time can not be delayed any longer. The crowd straightened up and walked forward again.

Originally, they could have walked out of the forest before dark, but due to the long delay in the process, they had to rest in the forest for the night. Fortunately, it was safe to walk through the miasma-filled area, and there were occasionally one or two animals on the ground.

As soon as night fell, except for the fleeting blue light in the forest, there was no light to be seen, and it was dark and damp, making it more and more eerie. The beasts roared in the distance, and the forest was full of dangers at night, so they didn't dare to be sloppy at all, and after clearing a few pieces of weed-free ground, they quickly lit a fire.

Some people were frightened when they saw the flickering blue light beyond the firelight, especially the women, who sat around the campfire one by one, and their voices trembled a little.

A woman with her arms around her chest, her face a little pale, whispered, "I, how do I seem to feel, I feel that the ghost fire is moving towards us. ”

"Oh, good guy, don't scare me." The person next to him couldn't help but snort softly, and his eyebrows were twisted, quite dissatisfied with the woman's words just now

Someone comforted himself: "Hang your head, don't look at it, there are so many of us, we are not afraid of it." ”

"The woman is really so courageous, others are scared like this, you are calmer than me." Lu Ci compared Ling Xiao on the other side of the bonfire with the others, and couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

Ling Xiao didn't care, and said flatly: "What's so scary? Where did the ghost fire come from, this is just a natural phenomenon caused by the spontaneous combustion of a substance in the skeleton when it encounters high temperatures, and it can be seen everywhere in such a forest. She didn't say the word "white phosphorus", worried that Lu Ci would not be able to explain it if she asked further.

"Oh? And this kind of statement? Skeletons can also burn on their own, how have I never heard of it before. Where did you get that? Lu Ci's face was full of novelty and felt incredible, which was completely different from what he had heard since he was a child.

Several women from other sects in the vicinity looked over with surprised expressions like Lu Ci, and when they heard Ling Xiao say this, they seemed to be less afraid, and their eyes were full of curiosity.

Ling Xiao had already guessed that Lu Ci would show such a look, so he had already thought of a rhetoric in his heart: "Of course it's in the book, this is definitely not fake." Someone, out of curiosity, tried. ”

"Can this be tried too? I really don't know which brother is bold! Admire. I don't believe in ghosts, but it looks really evil. Lu Ci was quite surprised, thinking that it was unheard of.

Ling Xiao smiled silently and began to stare at the firelight. After a day's journey, his body was already tired and weak, and finally sleepiness hit him and leaned on Lu Jingxing's arms and fell asleep peacefully.

In the morning, the forest was foggy and dewy, and the road ahead was gradually becoming wider, but the ground was still more slippery due to the dripping of morning dew. According to the budget, in a few hours, they will be able to walk through the forest.

Along the way, the morning mist dissipated, and a ray of sunlight shone in through the gaps in the canopy, spilling onto the green moss ahead. Everyone's eyes lit up, and they instantly felt a lot more enlightened.

However, just as they relaxed their vigilance, Meng Xiluo's leopard became restless and looked extremely uneasy.

"Whew......" The leopard raised its head to the sky and roared, its body shook suddenly, and finally threw Meng Xiluo off the leopard's back.

Meng Xiluo's face was shocked, and she reacted in time, her jade arm stretched forward, her body rose to the ground, and she flew straight forward uncontrollably, landing gracefully beside Ling Xiao.

Meng Xiluo turned around, with a stunned face, staring at the restless leopard in front of her, her eyes couldn't help but sharpen a little, looking at its manic and timid appearance, it seemed to be frightened, and her legs were trembling slightly.

Everyone was stunned by this sudden accident, and they all stopped, their eyes widened, and their eyes were all gathered in one place, greatly puzzled. Isn't this leopard trying to do the opposite? After all, it originally belonged to the mountains and forests, and it was forced to be someone else's mount, and it must have been unwilling in his heart. However, if you look closely, it doesn't seem to be like this, but rather as if it has been stimulated by the outside world, something that makes it afraid. But what can scare a jungle king?

Everyone was shocked and puzzled. In the moments of the stunned group, there was a faint sound of rustling branches and leaves rubbing in the dense bush on the left, and the ground was also rattling, as if something was crawling. The sound became clearer and clearer from far to near, making people feel a chill down their spine for no reason, and they couldn't help but shiver.

The dense bushes trembled violently without wind, and finally revealed a basin-sized black snake head, which instantly stood upright when it saw everyone, its body as thick as a pillar, and opened its bloody mouth to attack the crowd. One of Qianmin Villa's subordinates couldn't dodge, let out a scream, and bit down his shoulder with a big mouth, one hand was torn apart in an instant, and his body also fell to the ground, dripping with blood, and his eyes were full of fear. And so, he did what it was.

Seeing this, everyone's expressions changed, and they retreated in horror. However, in the moment of retreat, Ling Xiao was hit on the back by a palm, although the force was not large, but her whole body flew out, pounced on the giant python, and stabilized her body within a few feet of the giant python.

"Little Murmur!" Lu Jingxing's voice trembled, and then he flew over without hesitation, the internal force accumulated in the palm of his hand, and the palm wind was fierce.

Seeing that the big mouth stained with blood was about to fall again, the people who kept reversing gasped and their eyes were glazed. Yuanqu Dao Chang looked nervous and wanted to make a quick move, but he was squeezed between the crowd and couldn't show his hands and feet, but seeing that Lu Jingxing's figure had swept towards the giant python, he gradually relaxed his heart.

A chilly wind pressed down from the top of Ling Xiao's head, carrying blood, sending chills down her spine, and a trace of fear of death passed through her heart. At this moment, she remembered what the Yuanqu Daoist had said to her that night, the situation was critical, whether it was useful or not, she could only try it now. At the last moment, she closed her eyes tightly, and quickly took out the Kun bone mirror in her arms and struck at the snake's head.

Everyone was dumbfounded, the expected bloody scene did not happen, the giant python actually shrank its head back sharply the moment it sensed the mirror, its gloomy eyes were full of fear, and its whole body trembled, and it was stuck in front of Ling Xiao, spitting out the letter but not daring to move.

At the same time, Lu Jingxing's domineering palm wind hit the giant python's seven-inch part, and he turned around and protected Ling Xiao in his arms and withdrew a few steps away.

The python was hit hard, although it was not fatal, but it was hit and shook violently and fell backwards.

Ling Xiao felt a familiar aura enveloping her, and a trace of comfort arose in her heart, and she breathed a sigh of relief. For the first time in a long time, this is the first time she has lost her mind, and she is no longer afraid of danger. In fact, in the face of such a sudden change, no matter how calm a person is, it is impossible to remain calm.

The body was slightly traumatized, and the giant python stood upright about a battle high, and did not dare to move rashly, staring at the front with timidity, and the two of them spit out red letters. Of course, what it was afraid of was not Lu Jingxing's palm wind, but the mirror in Ling Xiao's hand. It was an instinctive fear, just like the leopard last time. It's just that the python's sense of smell and vision are not as sensitive as that of the leopard, and it wasn't until Ling Xiao took out the mirror that it used the red letter to detect it.

When the crisis passed, there was silence all around, the crowd was silent, and even the leopard was already prostrate on the ground, no longer restless.

Ling Xiao pushed away from Lu Jingxing's embrace, and the moment he turned around, two cold lights burst out of his eyes, staring at Meng Xiluo. She never thought that when her life was at stake, this woman could still do such a black hand while retreating, which was determined to kill her. provoked her again and again, how could she give up. If it weren't for this mirror today, she would have died here.

The moment Ling Xiao looked at Meng Xiluo, everyone already understood what was going on, and they were in an uproar, sighing, and they all stared at Meng Xiluo with different expressions.

Meng Xiluo was stared at a little uncomfortable, her body stiffened, but she showed a casual attitude and had no fear. Even if you know that she pushed it? She is the owner of a village in the dignified Qianmin Villa, will these people still be enemies of Qianmin Villa for a woman? As for Lu Fu, she is not afraid at all, and Ling Juguan is just a group of Taoist priests, and there is nothing to be afraid of. How could she forget the humiliating revenge of that day, she said that she would not let this woman go, and she would not miss any opportunity.

Jing Xing's face was pale, and he was about to walk towards Meng Xiluo, but he was stopped by Ling Xiao reaching out and looking up at him, all the meanings he wanted to express had been written in a pair of clear eyes. Since this is her business, then she doesn't want others to interfere, even if this person is Lu Jingxing.

Taozhi walked out of the crowd with an uncertain expression, paced to Ling Xiao's side, looked at Ling Xiao and asked, "Miss Ling, can you take a look in the mirror just now?" ”

"Give." Ling Xiao hesitated slightly, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that outsiders should not be able to see any clues, and they would not associate it with the Kun bone mirror anyway, so he gave it to Taozhi.

Everyone didn't know what the palace master of Yiyue Palace meant, although they were also curious about this strange mirror, but they didn't go so abruptly to borrow it from others to take a look. This Peach Palace Lord has always been steady, and he is really puzzled by her abnormal behavior at the moment.

Taozhi took the Kun bone mirror in his hand and looked at it carefully, his wandering gaze gradually condensed, the more he looked at it, the more solemn his expression became, and then he looked up at Ling Xiao, and asked in a somewhat eager tone: "Where did the girl come from this mirror?" ”

Just when he saw Ling Xiao take out the mirror, a different color flashed in Taozhi's eyes, and his mind was slightly confused and suspicious. She wanted to figure this out, so she ignored everyone's puzzled gaze and openly asked Ling Xiao for the mirror. Now through careful inspection, it seems to confirm her conjecture, and there are a lot of waves in her heart.

Ling Xiao's heart trembled, worried that if he was really recognized by others, this would not be easy to do. However, she was still calm and calm, and behaved quite naturally: "My eldest brother handed it over to me when I was leaving, saying that it could be used for self-defense. It seems to have been handed down from our ancestors. ”

Ling Xiao is not lying, this mirror was given to her by Yan Ling Chu, it stands to reason that she was named a son, so Yan Ling Chu is naturally her eldest brother. And Yanling Chu can have such a magical mirror, she guesses that most of it comes from the royal family.

Taozhi handed the mirror back to Ling Xiao and reminded Ling Xiao to put it away. Then he turned to look at Meng Xiluo, his eyes were cold, and he said word by word: "The enmity between your Qianmin Villa and my Yiyue Palace is settled, and after the great enemy, Qianmin Villa is waiting for the swords of my disciples of Yiyue Palace." ”

"This is a matter between me and this Dao Gu, what does it have to do with your Yiyue Palace?" Meng Xiluo's face did not change, her arrogance was strong, and she did not feel guilty at all for what she had just done.

Taozhi didn't have a good face for Meng Xiluo, and her tone was even more indifferent: "You don't need to know this!" ”

"Master Peach Palace, thank you for your kindness. However, I can take care of my own affairs. Ling Xiao put the Kun bone mirror back into his arms, and there was a little gratitude in his flat tone. This peach branch has helped her many times, and she doesn't know how to repay it. And this is a private matter between her and Meng Xiluo, and she doesn't want others to interfere in the first place, so there is no need to involve the people of Yiyue Palace.

The python was subdued, and everyone knew that the danger had passed, and gradually relaxed their vigilance, and there was a noisy discussion in the crowd.

Nan Qiyi stood calmly in front of his subordinates, his eyes were always deep, observing Taozhi's every move for a long time, and he had already guessed what Taozhi meant in his heart. He had already heard a little about some of the secret affairs of Yiyue Palace, so he was not curious about Taozhi's abnormal behavior at all.

Taozhi glanced at Meng Xiluo, bowed his head towards Ling Xiao, and lowered his voice: "Okay then." I have something important to tell you, and I'll talk about it when I'm out of the jungle. ”

Ling Xiao listened to Taozhi's words, and suddenly wondered in his heart, frowned lightly, and watched Taozhi walk away, without asking more.

"Look, as I said, this woman's heart is like a snake and scorpion, and she can't touch it." Bai Yuting stood in the distance, wrapped his hands comfortably around his chest, looked like he didn't care about himself, and talked to his sister from time to time.

Bai Yushuang stared at Meng Xiluo coldly for a moment, always with a look of disdain: "It's also a generation of village owners, and she dares to do it even if she is behind her back." The faces of the people in the rivers and lakes made her lose everything. ”

A wisp of mountain breeze blew, rolling up the corner of Ling Xiao's supple face towel, and there was clearly a cold and arrogant smile in it, but it was impossible to capture. She turned around and nodded to Lu Jingxing, intending to tell him not to worry. Then he walked towards the python with small steps, calmly and without a little fear. Now she was fully convinced that the Kun Bone Mirror given to her by Yanling Chu could suppress the beasts.
