(36) The end of the road
It is also strange to say that since Xiaoyuzi was taken away, Li Xiongba and his party have never encountered assassination. If it weren't for Xiao Yuzi's heroic killing of the enemy without mercy, the fan flew by, leaving no one alive, and the road was so calm that everyone almost suspected that he was an internal ghost.
Five days later, several people arrived safely at the foot of Heng Mountain.
I thought that the four elders of Hengshan, who were famous in the court, would be easy to find, but I didn't want the people under the mountain to have never heard of these people. Hearing that Li Xiongba said that the person he was looking for was related to the imperial court, the villagers proposed to go to the Qingyu Immortal Temple on the top of the mountain to inquire. Because in the territory of Hengshan, only the Qingyu Immortal Temple has been guarded by the imperial court for hundreds of years, and it is often renovated, and the incense is prosperous.
After finding a reliable guide, Li Xiongba and the others rested at the foot of the mountain for one night. Early the next morning, he abandoned the carriage and began to hike up the mountain.
The road up the mountain is winding and difficult, and it is very laborious to climb until noon, and it is not halfway up the mountain. Li Xiongba, who was tired and out of breath, felt a dilemma in his heart, thinking that even if he reached the top of the mountain, it was estimated that it was already midnight, and he would not be able to climb the mountain overnight. There are many beasts in the mountains, and maybe there are spirits, which is too dangerous.
Seeing this, the guide was relieved: "Don't worry, Childe, there are often hunters in this mountain who spend the night, and I know that there is a place to rest, and I will be able to reach it before dark." We'll rest there overnight and we'll be on our way early tomorrow morning. ”
Li Xiongba nodded and calmed down.
After another hour, everyone sat down beside a cliff, drank water and ate snacks, and enjoyed the scenery by the way.
"May I ask sir, what does this green jade immortal look like? Have you ever seen one? Li Xiongba saw the picturesque scenery around him, and he was interested, so he couldn't hold back his curiosity and asked.
"Childe is polite," the guide took a sip of water, shook his head, and said, "How can we ordinary people like us see immortals?" When I was young, I heard the old people in my family say that the Qingyu Immortal has an outstanding demeanor and is handsome and extraordinary. Occasionally, fishing in the clouds. We only know the name of the immortals, and we like to wear Tsing Yi. But I have never had the opportunity to see the fairy face. ”
"So, it's really mysterious." Li Xiongba listened with relish, and turned his head to discuss with Little Butterfly, but found that his eyes became a little flickering.
From the moment the little butterfly heard that she was going to the Qingyu Immortal Temple, something was wrong.
Could it be that what is the relationship between him and the Qingyu Immortal?
Li Xiongba thought.
Several people thought about it, but they didn't realize that the danger was coming.
"Childe be careful!" The three masters around him were the most vigilant and pushed Li Xiongba out.
"Bang!" Where Li Xiongba was just sitting, a boulder slammed down.
"Oh my god, it's dangerous!" Li Xiongba wiped his sweat.
"Childe be careful! Madame be careful! The guide shouted too.
Only then did Li Xiongba discover that on the right hand side of him and Little Butterfly, a strange figure with black gas suddenly appeared.
The little butterfly suddenly came back to her senses, quickly pulled Li Xiongba, and flew away from the black monster.
The three masters took up their weapons and rushed towards the black shadow.
"Hahaha!" The black shadow let out a wry laugh, "Ordinary people, don't measure yourself!" ”
As soon as the words fell, the three masters were frozen in the air, and the black shadow stretched out something like a hand and waved, and the three of them disappeared without a trace in an instant.
"You... Where did you get them? Li Xiongba looked around and found that he couldn't find the three people, so he asked in shock.
"The incompetent rats, naturally, sent them to reincarnation!" The shadow let out a louder laugh.
This......
Li Xiongba turned his head to look at the little butterfly pleadingly. I don't want the little butterfly, which has always been big, to turn pale at this time, trembling, and her teeth are cracking, and she can't say a word.
Belch...... Is the opponent so powerful?
"You...... Come on!!! The little butterfly seemed to use a lot of strength to overcome her fear and squeeze out a few words.
He took out the magic weapon dagger given by the princess, who was usually reluctant to use it, and blocked it in front of Li Xiongba.
Seeing this, Li Xiongba pulled the guide and ran away.
"Humph! Mantis arm as a car! The dark shadow scoffed.
A black light slashed, and the little butterfly was knocked into the air, spitting blood, and fell hard in front of Li Xiongba.
"Little butterfly!" Li Xiongba shouted, rushed over and quickly helped him up.
"Let's go...... He's too strong... We're no match for him, run......" The little butterfly was covered in blood and was already a little unconscious. He pushed Li Xiongba away and staggered to his feet. "The princess said...... You want me to protect you......"
"Oh? Protect him? The black shadow walked over slowly step by step, and asked with great interest: "You little demon can't protect himself, how can you protect him?" ”
"None of you can escape." The dark shadow seemed to enjoy the thrill of giving people great oppression, and seeing the prey in front of him panic, he lowered his tone and slowed down.
The little butterfly took the dagger and stabbed at him.
"Huh!" The black shadow flashed slightly, stretched out a "foot" and kicked it lightly, and the little butterfly flew out, hit the mountain wall, and fell heavily to the ground, no longer moving.
"It's so weak." He scoffed.
"Little butterfly!" Li Xiongba was so frightened that his heart was broken.
"He's out of breath." The black shadow said slowly:
"Well, then, it's your turn."
