This is the border section into the Shu land, if you walk, through the dense forest in front of you can not see the boundary, there is the border of Sichuan and Shu. If you want to cross a carriage, you can only take a detour.

Li Mobai looked at the dark woods, and suddenly had a premonition that his scalp was tight.

There was a strange dead silence in the air, as if the air was no longer moving.

"Did you hear any strange sounds?" The vigil's attendant asked his other companion.

"No, there's no strange sound."

Suddenly, the sound was no longer audible.

"It stinks!" The attendant shouted again, and a thick fishy smell filled the air. Then I heard the sound of rustling in the woods, and something seemed to be moving in this direction in the darkness. It's a chill down the spine.

The people in the tent also had a vague feeling, and they woke up one after another and walked out of the tent.

Facing the terrible unknown in the woods, the men pulled out their swords, and Gui Mingyue also held the dagger in his hand tightly.

In the light of the fire, the sound of rustling in the forest came closer, and a huge body appeared close to it.

"Monty Python!" Someone shouted, and everyone gasped.

The python's head was like a stone drum, held high, as if looking at these small creatures in front of it.

"Raise the torch!" Li Mobai shouted, and Yu Hongbo and the others hurriedly picked up the torches on the ground.

Man and python in a tense confrontation.

Finally, the python flung out its tail, mixed with the strong wind, and the two tents nearby instantly turned into pieces, and several followers who could not dodge were also drawn to the surrounding trees, and then fell down hard.

Li Mobai took out a small bottle, suddenly turned around and sprinkled all the powder in the bottle on Gui Mingyue's body.

The pungent smell instantly came out of Gui Mingyue's body, and Jin Qi'er was in a hurry and shouted, "What are you doing?" What is this? ”

Li Mobai didn't smile this time, his eyes were full of ruthlessness and seriousness, and he said in a deep voice: "Shut up!" Protect your young lady! ”

"It's okay, this is realgar powder," Gui Mingyue said: "You two come to me, there is realgar here, and the python doesn't dare to approach." ”

Li Mobai pulled out the soft sword on his waist and flew up, while the python on the opposite side quickly swung its tail and rushed in, suddenly lowered its head and opened its mouth, biting a live horse to death and swallowing it into its belly.

Li Mobai took advantage of the fact that it was swallowing the horse's body, and the soft sword in his hand stabbed it heavily into the eyeball.

The python immediately rolled in pain, its tail whipped around, and the boxes on the carriage were pulled off, and the crystal gems inside were scattered all over the ground. Its tail continued to whip, and the large crystal gems were instantly shattered.

Seeing that this beast had destroyed more than half of the crystals, Gui Mingyue couldn't help but be furious, and shouted loudly: "Chop it seven inches!" ”

Li Mo Bai led the order, the giant python's eyes were destroyed, and he was whipping indiscriminately, when he heard the sound in front of the left, he ran to the sound with a big mouth of blood, and his movements were swift, and he arrived in front of Gui Mingyue and them in an instant. The fishy smell in his mouth suddenly came towards the three of Gui Mingyue's shop. Jin Qi'er couldn't help but scream, hugged her head and squatted down, Yin Shen'er also had a sallow face, but she still took a step forward, closed her eyes tightly and waited for herself to be swallowed alive by this giant thing, thinking that it would eat itself first, and it would take a little effort, and it would be good to leave a chance for the young lady to escape...... Gui Mingyue was so smoky by this stench that she almost turned her back on her back, and at that moment she pulled up the gold coin that was squatting at her feet and rolled to the side, avoiding the tail wind of the giant python, and the silver pendant was rolled up, and then fell heavily to the ground, and the moment she fell, her back was instantly pierced by a sharp stone!

"Pendant!"

"Sister Shen'er!"

Gui Mingyue saw that the undergarment on Yinshen'er's chest had been stained red with blood, so she couldn't care about anything else, and raised her feet to meet the giant python.

"Miss, don't go over, it's too dangerous!" Jin Qi'er stepped forward and hugged Gui Mingyue's arm, crying and not letting her pass.

"It's okay, I have realgar powder on me," Gui Mingyue shook off her hand, carefully bypassed the giant python's body, and crawled towards the silver pendant.

The moment Gui Mingyue picked up the silver pendant, the familiar fishy smell came from behind him, which was close at hand. The hairs on Gui Mingyue's body stood up, and she silently closed her eyes, holding the silver pendant motionless......

I only heard a loud bang behind me, and the giant python was cut off by seven inches and fell to the ground with a bang.

Li Mobai's face was covered with sticky blood, and he was holding the sword in his hand to dig out the snake gall that was as big as a fist.

"Let's go! Go to the nearest village to find a doctor. Gui Mingyue handed the silver pendant into the hands of his entourage, carefully placed it in the carriage, and urged him to set off quickly.

Yu Hongbo also hurriedly got on his horse, and ordered: "You guys, put the remaining crystals into a box, hide them in the forest, and then go to the village in front of us to gather with us." The rest come with me! ”

When a few people with bloodstains on their upper bodies and embarrassed people arrived in a nearby village, Yu Hongbo knocked on the door of the family, and out came a middle-aged man with a guarded face.

Yu Hongbo patiently explained: "We are merchants, we encountered an attack by wild beasts on the road, and someone was injured, can you tell us where there are people in this village who know how to heal?" ”

The man shook his head, retreated back to the door with a cold face, and slammed the courtyard door shut.

Yu Hongbo turned around and went back with a serious face, he actually forgot that this should be the mountainous area of Sichuan and Shu, and the people here are all very primitive Miao tribes, and they have always been very xenophobic.

Jin Qi'er anxiously looked at the young master of her cousin, "Miss, what can I do now?" "The blood that came out of the silver pendant is getting more and more, and they all blame themselves for being useless, if it weren't for their cowardice, the three of them would definitely be able to escape smoothly.

"Outsiders are not welcome in this village." A crisp voice came from far and near, and it turned out to be a pure Central Plains dialect: "Who are you?" Is it from the original? ”

"Yes, yes, young lady, can you take us to the healer? My sister was seriously injured and couldn't be delayed. Jin Qi'er said eagerly crying.

The little girl sighed and said, "I'm not a young lady, most of the witch doctors in this place are witch doctors, they won't treat your sister's illness, but I do know some healing skills." ”

"This girl, please help us, we have no ill intentions, just traveling merchants." As soon as Gui Mingyue heard that she understood medical skills, she got out of the car and asked sincerely.

"Hey, you're so good-looking, you have a good nose and beautiful eyes, I like you, let's go, follow me." After the little girl saw Gui Mingyue, she said happily.

Gui Mingyue smiled and looked at this simple and bold and enthusiastic little girl from Miao Village, wearing batik coarse cloth clothes, with a bamboo basket full of various herbs on her back, her apple face and eyes were round and big, very cute, and she also said at the moment: "Thank you, I like you too." ”

The little girl walked happily and introduced: "My name is Dai Mo, I have lived in this village since I was a child, what is your name and where do you come from?" ”

"Gui Mingyue" Gui Mingyue happily reported his name, and then asked curiously: "Your surname?" This is the surname of the Central Plains. ”

Dai Mo avoided her eyes and said in a low voice: "Yes, my father is from the Central Plains. ”

I see, I didn't expect that someone from the Central Plains would come here and marry a wife and have a daughter.

Dai Mo brought Gui Mingyue to the small grass house where he lived, this small grass house was far away from the other houses in the village at the foot of the mountain, and there was a large field of medicinal herbs in front of the house.

After cleaning the wound of the silver pendant, Dai Mo took out some medicinal materials from the bottles and jars, put them in the mortar to make trouble, and then applied the black medicine residue to the wound of the silver pendant thickly and bandaged it.

"Is that all it take? Do you know how to heal? Jin Qi'er couldn't help but wonder, can such a black thing stick on the wound?

Dai Mo is simple, but extremely sensitive, and he was dissatisfied at the moment: "If you don't believe me, don't ask me for treatment, you come, can you?" "If it weren't for her medical skills, this village would have allowed her to live so big?

"You ......," Jin Qi'er was about to get up and reason with her.

"Don't be rude!" Gui Mingyue drank and stopped.

"Yes, miss." Jin Qi'er had no choice but to give up, her eyes were staring at this little girl named Dai Mo, this must be a quack!

"Slightly" Dai Mo made a grimace at Jin Qi'er, and sat next to Gui Mingyue affectionately in the past, but somehow, maybe she had been alone for too long. She likes to stay by Gui Mingyue's side, although she is not very old, but it seems that she has a reassuring power in her.

"Sister Yue, she's fine, it's her shoulder that hurts." Dai Mo gave Yinshen'er a pill, and then said: "That handsome elder brother, the wound on his face is very deep, and he has to deal with the wound immediately." ”

Gui Mingyue was taken aback, Li Mobai was injured? I always thought that the blood on his face was splashed by the blood of the giant python.

"Does this hurt matter?" After Gui Mingyue saw that Dai Mo cleaned him, a long and deep scar did appear on his left cheek, and the flesh was turned out, and Jin Qi'er couldn't help but let out an "ah" when she saw it.

"With me, the wound will definitely heal, but after the scab is formed...... I'm missing a pill here, I'm afraid it will leave a scar. ”

"It's good to have a scar, it's okay." Li Mobai grinned in pain and said nonchalantly.

"I'll help you find the medicine you need." Gui Mingyue said categorically.

"Good...... However, this blood stork grass is very precious and difficult to find, and we have a ...... in our whole village."

"Hey, I'm a man, what's wrong with the scar on my face, all the fuss." Li Mobai interrupted Dai Mo's words, this face, he was full of disgust and hatred for it a long time ago, and now that it is ruined, he has no trace of nostalgia.

Yu Hongbo pushed the door in, and when he heard him say this, he couldn't help laughing, and said to Gui Mingyue: "When he said this, is it very similar to Chengqi?" ”

Gui Mingyue, who had an indifferent face, thought of his brother Gui Chengqi, who was also handsome but hated to be said by others, and his awkward appearance really missed the guy in front of him, and couldn't help but smile.

"Hey, when my sister bought you, she said, 'You men spend a lot of money for beautiful women, how about me admiring a beautiful man for twenty taels?' Hahaha, you don't care so much now, didn't my sister spend twenty taels of silver in vain? Yu Hongbo quipped.

"It's one hundred and twenty taels," said the silver pendant that woke up slowly.

"Shen'er, you're awake!" Gui Mingyue and Jin Qi'er immediately looked at the silver pendant on the bed with happy faces, Gui Mingyue held her hand tightly, and Jin Qi'er was even more happy and tears flowed down.

Li Mobai listened to Yu Hongbo's words, and was made to cry and laugh by Gui Mingyue's beautiful man theory, and at the beginning, he also tried and defended her for all kinds of temptations and precautions What was the purpose of her buying herself, it turned out that because he was a "beautiful man", he bought it back for pure appreciation?

Forget it, now that she is a new student, it is really meaningless to carry the shackles of the past all day long, since her appearance still has the function of pleasing to her eyes, it is natural to stay.

"Elder, they're here!" It was a middle-aged Miao village man who had seen Yu Hongbo before.

"Come out! You wicked Central Plains people come out for me! "There was a shouting outside, and it was gathering more and more.

Dai Mo heard the shouting outside, opened the door and saw that it was the elder.

"Catch them for me!" Under the elder's order, a group of Miao Zhai people crowded outside the grass house, Li Mobai's face turned pale, and he was about to pull out the soft sword on his waist, but Gui Mingyue shook his head to stop him.

Gui Mingyue and the others were tied up and pressed out of the house, and Dai Mo anxiously rushed to them and asked the elders: "Why do you want to arrest them, they are my friends." ”

"They killed the holy thing that was to be sacrificed to the Virgin!" The elder said hatefully.

"Kill them! Kill them! ”

"Take them to the sinkhole!" The elder commanded.
