There was silence for a long time, and a weak, tremolo voice slowly sounded.

"Gentlemen...... Heroes, I ...... I see ......"

Li Xiaoyao looked at the scholar who was speaking, frowned, and said, "What's wrong with you?" ”

The scholar shrank his neck and said, "I see...... I'd better go back! Thank you very much, and take your leave. ”

After speaking, he turned around and ran away wildly, and everyone looked at his back speechlessly.

As soon as Lin Yueru saw this scholar, she couldn't help but think of Liu Jinyuan, and said angrily: "These scholars are really useless. ”

Li Fei's emotions have calmed down, and the red hair on his head has turned back to jet black.

He walked back to everyone, looked at Lin Yueru and Zhao Ling'er, smiled, and said, "Fang Cai...... Didn't scare you, did you? ”

The two women pursed their lips in unison and nodded, and the smile on Li Fei's face froze.

saw Zhao Ling'er smile again, and said: "But I know that the eldest brother is angry for me, so although the eldest brother was a little scary just now, Ling'er is not afraid of the eldest brother." ”

Li Fei laughed again, reached out and stroked her hair, and said, "Silly girl." ”

Lin Yueru asked curiously, "Why did you get so angry just now?" ”

Li Fei smiled and said in a deep voice: "Lock Demon Tower, to a certain extent, it is no different from hell, if someone wants to beat me into hell, will you be angry?" ”

"What?" When Lin Yueru heard this, her eyebrows immediately rose, and she said angrily: "I must have skinned him and cramped him, and his body was broken into thousands of pieces." ”

Li Xiaoyao held Zhao Ling'er's soft hand tightly, and said in fear: "Fortunately, there is a big brother here, otherwise with us people, I am afraid that we will not be able to stop him." ”

Elder Shi looked at Li Fei and said, "Gongzi just mentioned Shu Mountain, could it be that person......

Li Fei nodded and said, "Elder Shi guessed well, he is the contemporary head of the Shushan Immortal Sword Sect, the Sword Saint Dugu Yuyun. ”

Lin Yueru said suddenly: "It turned out to be him, no wonder he is a little familiar, I saw him when I was a child." ”

Li Xiaoyao said: "The predecessors of the wine sword immortal who taught me martial arts are chic and uninhibited, and the grievances are clear, I can't imagine that his senior brother is such an indiscriminate person. ”

Elder Shi was secretly speechless, that Sword Saint was the first person in the martial arts today, and he was definitely not the enemy of the other party's triad.

As a result, in front of Li Fei, he was like a child, pinching and flattening his heart, and he had no power to fight back.

How high is this kid's cultivation?

Li Fei beckoned: "Okay, don't pay attention to him, let's continue on our way." ”

Everyone had no objections, and immediately set off again, and Elder Shi was now convinced that Li Fei was the leader, and he obeyed his words.

Although I knew that Li Fei was unfathomable, I never had a clear concept.

Today, when I saw the scene of him beating the Sword Saint, I really knew how terrible he was.

Fortunately, he didn't offend him to death when he was in Ghost Yin Mountain, otherwise he would have his life at this time?

The group continued to cross the mountains and mountains, and walked for another half a day, the sun was already in the west, and the sky was even darker.

A rapids cut off the road ahead, and the rapids washed down from the mountains in the distance, creating a wide cliff and deep stream.

There was originally a suspension bridge on both sides of the cliff, but at this time the suspension bridge was broken and built on the opposite cliff, and there was no way to go on the opposite side except for a platform behind the suspension bridge.

Looking at the traces on the opposite mountain wall, there should have been a plank road, but now the plank road has disappeared, and only a few wedges that have been driven into the mountain wall are left.

"There seems to be no way ahead." Li Xiaoyao said in surprise, and quickened his pace and ran forward.

When he ran to the head of the suspension bridge, he saw a woman sitting next to the cliff next to the suspension bridge.

The woman's long hair hung down her shoulders, covering half of her face, and she sat on the ground with her hands on her shoulders, and a trace of red blood slowly slipped down.

Li Xiaoyao exclaimed: "This girl, are you injured?" ”

The woman raised half of her face slightly to look at Li Xiaoyao, and was silent.

She has a thin melon seed face, delicate eyes and nose, all delicate and moving, with a bit of pitiful taste.

Li Xiaoyao was slightly stunned when he saw her face, and said, "Girl, have we seen it anywhere?" Why do I look at you so familiar? ”

As soon as his voice fell, Li Fei's ridiculous and joking voice came from behind him: "Xiaoyao, the way you talk to girls is a little too old-fashioned." ”

"No......" Li Xiaoyao turned around and said hurriedly: "I really think this girl is very familiar, I must have seen it somewhere." ”

When the woman saw that so many people were coming, and most of them were carrying swords and swords, her expression couldn't help but change slightly.

Immediately, she stood up without saying a word, turned around and ran towards the right side of the mountain.

Only then did Li Xiaoyao notice that on the right side of the mountain wall, there was a dark and secluded cave entrance, and there was actually a cave here.

Seeing the woman running away, Li Xiaoyao hurriedly followed two steps and shouted, "Hey, girl, where are you going?" ”

The woman stopped, turned around and said coldly, "This is my home." ”

"Your home?" Li Xiaoyao was a little unconvinced, how could this woman be so weak, how could she live in the mountains and fields and take the cave as her home?

"You don't look good, do you need help?"

Li Xiaoyao's kindness made the woman's expression move slightly, and a tangled look appeared in her eyes, and she warned: "Don't follow, the men who get close to me will die." ”

With that, he turned and sank into the darkness of the cave.

Li Xiaoyao greeted Li Fei and his party thoughtfully, and said seriously: "Big brother, I think there is something wrong with this woman." ”

Lin Yueru suddenly lowered her voice, and said with a suspicious face: "You say, will she be a monster?" ”

Li Xiaoyao groaned: "This is really uncertain, how can a beauty like that live in such a cave?" ”

Everyone looked at Li Fei, but saw him shake his head and said, "This woman is indeed wrong, but she is not a monster, but a serious human being." ”

"There is a strange fragrance on her body, and this strange fragrance should not exist in ordinary people."

"Strange fragrance?" Li Xiaoyao suddenly showed a sudden look, slapped his face and said: "I remember, she is the woman I saw in the restaurant, who charmed the three scoundrels with Daigo incense." ”

"I'm sure I've seen her! It's just that the way she was dressed at that time was very different from what she is now, so I didn't recognize it for a while. ”

Li Fei nodded and said, "It seems that she is also a cultivator, since this is her cave mansion, it is not easy for so many of us to break in directly." ”

"There is no road ahead, and if you want to go down the mountain, I'm afraid you will have to land in this cave."

"Since you have a relationship with her, let you go in and ask to see if there is any other way down the mountain."

Li Xiaoyao nodded when he heard this: "It's okay, then you can wait here for a while." ”

After entering the cave, he kept following the passage in all directions, and it took him a long time to reach the end.

At the end of the passage was a wide cavern, and the woman was there.

It's just that there is almost nothing in this cave, and the ground is so damp that it doesn't look like a place for people to live.

When the woman saw Li Xiaoyao come in, she seemed taken aback, and said angrily: "Don't you feel rude when you trespassed into my house without permission?" ”

Li Xiaoyao hugged his fists and said apologetically: "Please forgive the girl for taking the liberty of going here, it's just that we were in a hurry and had to break in without permission." ”

"Dare to ask the girl, how can we climb over Toad Mountain?"

The woman's voice said coldly: "There is no road, the plank road to the north of this valley has been demolished by me, and I will also seal the mountain road to the south in a few days." ”

"You better go back down the mountain and take a detour from the official road!"

Li Xiaoyao was puzzled and asked, "Why is this?" ”

The woman turned her back to him and said, "Save any more boring men from breaking in." ”

Li Xiaoyaoqi said: "Girl, this is the only way to go from south to north, and the mountain road is not too difficult, and those who are in a hurry must prefer to go over the mountain." ”

"Even if this valley is yours, you can't do this!"

The woman said lightly: "You don't care, please go out." ”

Li Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this, and said helplessly: "Okay, it's rude and farewell." ”

Returning the way you came, you quickly got out of the cave.

"Brother Xiaoyao, how is it? What do you ask? ”

Gu Yu Li Xiaoyao shook his head and said: "No, but she said that the plank road was demolished by her, and she also blocked the road when we came, so that we can turn back." ”

Li Fei's face sank, and he said, "Since she is so unreasonable, then we don't have to talk about any rules, let's go." ”

The others didn't have any objections when they saw this, they had already saluted first, and since the other party was unreasonable, they could only be the last soldiers.

Li Fei took the lead, Lin Yueru followed closely by his side, Li Xiaoyao and Elder Shi followed, Zhao Ling'er was in the middle, and the Miao people guarded the back of the palace.

A group of thirty people rushed into the cave.

As we walked along the passage, we had just come to the depths of the cave, when the faint candlelight was extinguished, and the five fingers in the cave were not visible.

As soon as Li Fei spread his hand, ball lightning condensed in his palm.

I could only hear a mournful cry from the cave: "Don't ...... Don't hold the lamp ......"

Unfortunately, she called too late, and the thunderball like an incandescent lamp had already floated up, illuminating the dark cavern in detail.

Everyone looked at it intently, and they were surprised to find that the woman was very different from Fang Cai's appearance.

I saw that the right half of her face was still delicate and fair, but the left half of her face was ulcerated, uneven, distorted and deformed, which was unspeakable.

There was also a huge yak-like toad beside her.

A mouth the size of a basin, eyes glowing with a rich yellow light, and a chin that swelled and made a dull gurgling sound.

Lin Yueru exclaimed, "It's that toad spirit." ”

Li Xiaoyao looked at the woman's face, and thought that she had been poisoned by the toad essence, and hurriedly shouted: "Girl, come here, that big toad is poisonous." ”

"Hmph......" The woman snorted coldly and said, "Poison? What is more poisonous in this world than the human heart? Compared with the vicious ridicule and insult of the people of the world, what poison is more terrible? ”

Li Xiaoyao was stunned for a moment, as if he was a little confused, and muttered, "You...... Your face. ”

The woman stared at everyone and said coldly: "Since you have seen my face, don't want to get out of this cave alive, good son, these people will give you a snack." ”

"Quack"

As soon as the toad spirit heard this, he opened his mouth, and the long tongue in his mouth stabbed towards Li Fei who was the leader.

As soon as Li Fei raised his hand, a layer of light curtain enveloped everyone, and there were purple-red electric snakes flickering and jumping on the light curtain.

"Bang"

The toad essence's tongue pierced the light curtain, and the tip of the tongue immediately exploded, blurring a piece of flesh and blood.

"Goo-goo...... Quack ......"

The toad let out a painful chirp, and its tongue immediately retracted.

The next moment, its mouth opened wide, and a faint green poisonous gas erupted, quickly filling the entire cavern, but it couldn't enter the light curtain in the slightest.

Seeing this, the woman's eyes widened angrily, and her hands were clawed at Li Fei.

A gray spiritual power turned into a serpentine phantom in front of her, devouring towards the curtain of light.

"Bang"

There was no doubt that it was still ineffective, and as soon as the snake shadow touched the light curtain, it instantly disintegrated.

The woman's face finally changed.

Facing Li Fei's turtle-like light curtain, a deep sense of powerlessness rose in her heart, and now she was completely a mouse pulling a turtle, and she couldn't start.

Since the woman and the toad spirit started to move, Li Fei opened the light curtain, Li Xiaoyao and the others crossed their arms to their chests, looking like they were watching a good show.

According to what the Sword Saint said before, nine times out of ten, this woman was injured by the Sword Saint.

Being able to escape under the Sword Saint is also considered a bit of her ability.

But even the Sword Saint was powerless in the face of Li Fei, how could this woman who was chased and killed by the Sword Saint break Li Fei's defense?

Seeing that the woman had nothing to do and her donkey skills were poor, Li Fei waved his hand to clear the poisonous mist emitted by the toad essence, and said with a light smile: "Don't think about it, the Sword Saint who chased you has been beaten away by me, and you can't kill us with you." ”

The woman exclaimed, "It turns out that you were fighting the Sword Master before. ”

Li Fei continued: "You let us leave several times before, but you didn't take action directly, and it doesn't seem that you are killing innocents indiscriminately, and I won't embarrass you today." ”

"Tell me, what happened to you? If there are extenuating circumstances, I can consider helping you. ”

The woman said sadly, "Help me?" How can you help me? No one in this world can help me. ”

Li Fei said: "Perhaps, the injuries you have suffered and the disasters you have encountered have already happened, and I really can't help you in this regard." ”

"But I can at least do it, help you eliminate the abnormalities on your face, so that you can return to life normally."

"With your own appearance, I believe that no one is in a position to laugh at you and humiliate you anymore."

The woman's eyes widened and she said in disbelief, "You mean...... Can you heal my face? I didn't have an injury or poisoning on my face. ”

Li Fei smiled and said, "I know, you are a mutation caused by your cultivation of poison skills, this is not a problem. ”

"The point is, why would a beauty like you practice the poisonous skill that will destroy her appearance?"

He knew that this woman's cultivation was the "Golden Toad Secret", and this kind of poisonous skill basically belonged to the same way as Yin Li's thousands of poisonous hands.

It's just that the grade of "The Secret of the Golden Toad" is naturally countless times higher than that of thousands of poisonous hands.

Li Fei knew all the causes and consequences, but Li Xiaoyao didn't know them.

So he asked the woman to explain, and he said it to the others.

No matter what he does, he always needs a reason, and if he always does it for no reason and wantonly, it will inevitably affect his image in the eyes of others.

"Okay, if you want to hear it, I'll tell you."

The woman lowered her head slightly, letting her hair hang down again, covering the festering half of her face, and then she told the ins and outs of the matter.

"My name is Liu Meiniang, I am a beautiful lady in Beijing, and my father is a general in the army."

"Back then, I met a fallen scholar from Yangzhou, fell in love with him at first sight, and made a private agreement with him for life despite the opposition of my family."

"His family was murdered by traitors, and all his houses were killed, and he was the only one who escaped."

"He begged me to help him avenge him, but I had already broken with my family for him at that time, so how could I avenge him?"

"But my ancestors, in the past, accidentally got a copy of "The Secret of the Golden Toad", which is very powerful after practice, but it will cause abnormal changes in the body."

"Therefore, the successive heads of my family have strictly ordered that if it is not for the situation of life and death in the family, future generations will not be allowed to practice easily."

"I love him deeply, and I am willing to give everything for him, and I can't help but beg him bitterly, so I stole the "Golden Toad's Secret Book" from my home and practiced in secret."

"When I succeed in my studies, I will take him to Yangzhou, destroy his enemies, and avenge him."

"Who knows...... Who knew that after taking revenge, he was ruined because of half of my face, so he found a new love and walked away. ”

Speaking of this, Liu Meiniang closed her eyes in pain, and two strings of tears slipped from the corners of her eyes.

Li Xiaoyao, Zhao Ling'er, Lin Yueru, and even Elder Shi and those Miao guards, all heard righteous indignation.

"I hate him so much, I broke with my family for him, my face was ruined, and he did this to me."

"So I found him and the slut, killed the two of them, and lived in seclusion here, and took Toad as his righteous son, calling himself the Golden Toad Ghost Mother."

After listening to Liu Meiniang's words, everyone finally knew the origin of the Yangzhou tragedy, and they sighed one by one, and deeply sympathized with Liu Meiniang's experience.

Zhao Ling'er was moved with compassion and said softly to Li Fei: "Big brother, she is so pitiful, you can help her!" ”

Li Fei nodded and said to Liu Meiniang: "Your background is indeed pitiful, but it is also to blame that you don't know people and have nothing to do with others." ”

"I hope that after you return to the world, don't complain about the world, live a good life, start all over again, and don't do that hurtful act."

Liu Meiniang smiled sadly: "How could I ever think of harming people? Today's fate is all for the sake of those who are unlucky. ”

"If Gongzi can help me heal this face, Mei Niang will definitely keep to herself, and it will be okay with others."

"Goo-goo...... Quack ......"

At this moment, the toad spirit suddenly turned its huge body, looked at Liu Meiniang, and chirped non-stop, as if she was very excited.
