Dark clouds shrouded the bright moon, and the faint starlight could only barely illuminate the shadows of the mountains and forests.

The night breeze blows, and the shadows of the trees are swaying.

Li Mu led the horse and walked along the dilapidated mountain road all the way to the temple on the mountainside.

This is a mountain temple that has been in disrepair for a long time, the walls are broken, and the gate is falling to the side, The faint firelight that Li Mu saw before was overflowing from the door.

The white horse was psychic, Li Mu didn't tie it up, patted its butt and walked into the mountain temple.

In the temple, the statue of the mountain god has been cracked, and only a clay pedestal remains, covered with dust, and the walls are covered with cobwebs, and the dusty curtains hang aside.

In front of the temple table, a young man dressed as a scholar was baking a fire, with a book in his hand, and he had already read half of it.

"Hello brother." Li Mu arched his hand, "The night is dark and the wind is high, don't you mind a piece?" ”

"Please." The scholar stretched out his hand to signal, not cold, but not very enthusiastic, concentrating on reading.

Li Mu walked to the fire and sat down not far away, he had some expectations, he had seen it in his previous life, but if he stayed in a deserted temple overnight, something would definitely happen!

Especially after the revival of the aura, demons and monsters were born one after another, and Li Mu has only seen demons and complete ghosts until now, and he has never seen a single one.

Thinking of this, Li Mu hurriedly gathered his mind and silently recited the "Song of Righteousness", condensing Haoran righteousness.

The scholar looked at the book for a while, his eyes were a little astringent, and then he closed it, he looked up at Li Mu who was meditating on the side, and asked with some curiosity: "What is this brother's name, it's so late, aren't you afraid of encountering danger when you go on the road alone?" ”

Li Mu opened his eyes, he never liked to close his eyes and say nonsense: "In Xia Chen Ping'an, don't hide it from my brother, I came to Huaiyin County for the first time, and I accidentally got lost." ”

"I see." The scholar nodded slightly and asked, "Where is Brother Chen going?" ”

"Gusu County." Li Mu asked rhetorically, "What about you, brother?" Where did you come from and where are you going? ”

"Me? I don't know. The scholar sighed melancholy, "I am a scholar, surnamed Sun, I have studied hard for ten years, and I am ready to participate in the imperial examination, but now the aura is recovering, and the imperial examination is ...... Oh, it's better to practice. ”

"Oh, Brother Sun is a cultivator?" Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly, this can't be a demon cultivator, right?

"It's just a wild cultivation in the mountains, and you can't get on the stage." Sun Shusheng shook his head with a wry smile, and said to Li Mu, "As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read ten thousand books, I originally planned to travel all over the world and hone my practice, but I happened to meet Brother Chen today, if I don't mind, I want to go to Gusu County with Brother Chen, and there is a good response on the way, how about it?" ”

Li Mu nodded with a smile on his face: "Don't mind, I don't mind, I should thank Brother Sun for having cultivators with me." ”

Now that Li Mu's qi technique is complete, as long as he doesn't make a move, in the eyes of outsiders, he is a mediocre handsome guy.

Not to mention the unknown Sun Shusheng in front of him, even the Divine Viewer can't see through him.

Therefore, Li Mu is very relieved to pretend to be a pig!

The two chatted with each other, and after a while, there were bursts of footsteps outside the temple, accompanied by the long roar of the white horse, and the voice of a delicate woman came: "The white horse of a good handsome child is so beautiful...... It's a pity that there is a master. ”

"If Miss likes it, I'll spend money to buy it." An old voice said.

"This ...... Not okay? The woman opened her mouth crisply, with a little excitement and worry.

Then, the group walked in.

The leader was an old man who was close to sixtieth birthday, wearing an old gray robe, and looked like a housekeeper.

Behind him, a delicate-looking girl, wearing a white skirt, twenty-eight years old, green silk tied into a ponytail, waist full of hand, quite lovely.

Behind the two of them, there were eight guards, each with big shoulders and round waists, with horizontal faces, long knives at their waists, and a wooden box on their backs, which did not look like kind-hearted people.

"Please, two." The old man who looked like a housekeeper smiled and arched his hand, "Old man Zhao Da, dare to ask which gentleman the white horse outside belongs to, my young lady wants to ......"

"Not for sale." Li Mu didn't wait for him to finish speaking and directly refused.

Rich is amazing, huh?

Bah!

"This ......," Butler Zhao looked at the young lady behind him in embarrassment.

"Hmph, if you don't sell it, you won't sell it, Miss Ben doesn't want to buy it yet, hmph, hmph!" Miss Handsome walked to the side angrily, squatted in the corner of the wall with her hands on her chest, sulking, and from time to time she grimaced at Li Mu.

Grand Steward Zhao smiled apologetically at Li Mu, and then ordered eight guards to clean the mountain temple and build a fire again.

During this period, Steward Zhao chatted with Li Mu and Sun Shusheng, and was overjoyed to learn that they were going to Gusu County together!

"Don't hide it from the two of you, we also have to go to Gusu County, if the two of you don't dislike it, let's go together!" Butler Zhao warmly invited.

Such a coincidence...... The smile on Li Mu's face was even worse.

Sun Shusheng asked directly: "What are you doing in Gusu County?" Join the family? ”

"Pretty much." Butler Zhao glanced at the handsome girl who was squatting in the corner and sulking, and said in a low voice, "That's my young lady, surnamed Jiang, who was fingered to Gusu County...... A certain famous family, the young lady has a high temperament and wants to see the future with her own eyes...... Only...... Ay. ”

Looking at his indescribable expression, Li Mu was a little suspicious, and it didn't look like he was lying.

He looked at Sun Shusheng again, could it be that the reason why Sun Shusheng proposed to go to Gusu County with him was actually for that Miss Jiang?

Interesting...... Li Mu said: "It's a pity that I'm lost and don't know where to go." ”

"It's a mistake." Butler Zhao said with a smile, "Further forward here, there is a line of cliffs, cliffs on both sides, very steep, fortunately there is a long road in the middle, which can cross Huaiyin County, and further on, you can take the waterway to reach Taihu Lake in Gusu County." ”

"Hehe......" Suddenly, another sneer came from outside the temple, "The first-line cliff is not only steep, there are demons there!" ”

As he spoke, a white-robed cold-faced swordsman walked in, his pale face glowing with a strange flush in the light of the bonfire.

"Demon? What demon? Miss Jiang, who was squatting in the corner, suddenly interjected and ran over excitedly to ask.

"Miss." Butler Zhao grabbed her and shook his head at her slightly.

The cold-faced swordsman said coldly: "There is a snake demon on the cliff, try to transform into a glamorous woman, specializing in seducing men and sucking men's essence and blood!" It is said that in the snake's nest, the white bones are full of bones, and the ghost does not disperse, and every time there is a child, the ghost cries and the wolf howls, and the sound spreads for hundreds of miles, which can stop the child from crying! ”

Miss Jiang was afraid of snakes, and when she heard that it was a snake demon, she immediately trembled with fright and hid behind Butler Zhao.

"Shut up!" The butler Zhao said hurriedly, "The old man has never heard of a snake demon on the cliff, so don't talk nonsense!" ”

"Hehehe...... cold-faced swordsman sneered, "I'm scared like this just by hearing his name, so I'd better go home." ”

"Grandpa Zhao, how is this good?" Miss Jiang asked worriedly.

She is really interested in demons, what rabbit demons, fox spirits, dog demons, she can accept them, but the snake demon, the scale is too big!

Butler Zhao hurriedly comforted her: "You can't believe all what outsiders say, even if there is a snake demon, we may not meet it, miss, don't worry." ”

Sun Shusheng stabbed the fire with firewood, the flames rose, and he asked the cold-faced swordsman: "You are so familiar with this place, do you know if there is any way to avoid the snake demon." ”

"Of course I know, but I can't tell you in vain!" The cold-faced swordsman snorted.

Sun Shusheng chuckled, took out a spirit grass, and said, "This is a spirit grass picked from a nearby mountain." ”

The cold-faced swordsman's eyes lit up, snatched it, and said quickly: "Pass from the North Cliff!" There are two cliffs in the north and south of the first-line cliff, and the snake demon only operates on the south cliff of the first-line cliff! ”

Li Mu was puzzled: "Why doesn't the snake demon go to the North Cliff?" ”

The cold-faced swordsman smiled: "There is a Black Tiger Daojun in the North Cliff, he is a Taoist priest who has traveled by and seen the snake demon as a disaster, so he lives in the North Cliff, and fights with the snake demon every half a month, and it has been more than two months so far!" Take the North Cliff, you must be safe! ”

When Miss Jiang heard this, she hurriedly asked the old housekeeper to divert to the North Cliff.

[Reading updates load slowly, there are ads, chapters are incomplete, please exit Reading and read!] 】

nbsp; Steward Zhao was a little hesitant, because the North Cliff Mountain was high and dense, if he borrowed the North Cliff, the original half-hour road would take several days.

And who knows if there are other demons in the mountains?

Just looking at the pitiful appearance of his own young lady, Steward Zhao was helpless and was about to agree, but he heard Sun Shusheng sneer: "In my opinion, you must not go to the north cliff!" ”

"Ah, why is that?" Steward Zhao hurriedly asked.

Sun Shusheng looked at the swordsman and said, "I don't know if there is a black tiger Daojun in the North Cliff, but I know that there must be a demon tiger in the North Cliff!" ”

"What do you mean?!" The cold-faced swordsman's face changed.

"I mean, somebody's playing for the tiger!" Sun Shusheng sneered and opened the pages in his hand, waved his hand gently, and the spiritual power rolled wildly, and the pages flew all over the sky in an instant, turning into swords, guns, swords, and halberds, killing the swordsman!

The cold-faced swordsman's face changed greatly, and he drew his sword to fight back with a roar, and he ...... in three or two strokes was killed to the point of bleeding, and in the blink of an eye, it turned into green smoke and dissipated.

"This is a ghost! It is a puppet formed by enslaving the soul after being killed by the tiger demon! Sun Shusheng said.

"I didn't expect Mr. to be a cultivator, disrespectful and disrespectful." Butler Zhao bowed his hand and saluted.

Sun Shusheng nodded slightly, sat back by the fire, and read by the fire.

Next to her, Miss Jiang was so frightened that her little face turned pale, and then she stomped her feet angrily: "Damn, a mere ghost dares to deceive Miss Ben!" North Cliff Demon Tiger, Miss Ben will lie on your tiger skin sooner or later, stepping on your feet every day, hum, hum! ”

After Miss Jiang lost her temper, the mountain temple quickly quieted down, only the crackling sound of the fire burning, and the sound of Sun Shusheng turning pages as he read.

Li Mu sat aside, squinting slightly, looking at Miss Jiang's eight guards.

In the battle that had just occurred, these eight people seemed to be sitting on the sidelines and watching, without the slightest intention of nervous their own young lady.

It seems to have an ulterior purpose.

There is also Sun Shusheng, with the help of a series of behaviors of debunking and strangling ghosts, he successfully won the trust of Zhao's housekeeper, and it seems that he also has ulterior motives.

Li Mu yawned and pretended to sleep.

Nothing happened overnight.

The next morning, everyone got up, washed themselves with the mountain dew, and then went down together.

Miss Jiang and Li Mu both rode horses, and after going down the mountain, they got on the horses and set off.

Sun Shusheng didn't have a horse, but he was a cultivator, and when he walked behind, he could keep up with him if he shrunk into inches.

Near noon, everyone ate dry food and finally came to the first line of cliffs.

The first-line cliff lives up to its name, the cliffs on both sides are dozens of zhang high, and a long mountain road with a width of more than 20 meters in the middle looks like two huge palms from a distance.

"It is impossible to confirm whether there is a snake demon in the first-line cliff, but there is a high probability that there is a tiger demon, and in the north cliff, Brother Chen, and you must be careful!" Sun Shusheng solemnly reminded.

Everyone cautiously slowed down, so as not to make too much noise and alarm the tiger demon.

After walking for half an hour, I suddenly heard a tiger roar from the north cliff, the tiger roar was shocking, shaking the mountains and fields, it seemed that even the cliff wall was forced by the power of the tiger demon, trembling, and falling countless fine stones!

"Hiss~~"

At the same time, a strange sound like a shovel scraping an iron pot came from the south cliff.

This voice is extremely harsh, and the scalp of the listener is numb, and the heart is frightened, as if it has the ability to breathe the heart!

"Ahhh!!h

At this moment, Miss Jiang suddenly let out a sharp scream, like a silver bottle bursting, "Snake demon, snake demon!! ”

Everyone looked and found that on the top of the south cliff, there was a huge python.

"There is a snake demon on the south cliff, a tiger demon on the north cliff, this line of cliff is really a line between life and death." Sun Shusheng frowned, "If you let it go, I'm afraid it will be a big disaster!" ”

There was a flash of hesitation in his eyes, but finally to determination.

"Let's go, I'll get rid of the demon!!" Sun Shusheng jumped up and rushed up along the south cliff as if he were walking on the ground.

"Hero, I'll remember you!" Butler Zhao hurriedly beckoned everyone to run away.

That's it?

Li Mu subconsciously followed behind and asked, "Brother Sun is killing demons in the back, and I'll run away like this, isn't it good?" ”

Butler Zhao snorted: "The old man only knows how to protect my young lady, what does it matter to me about the life and death of other people?" ”

Bah!

In the mountain temple before, this old guy looked like a good man, but he didn't expect it to be all pretended, and before he died, he showed his true face.

Li Mudu couldn't help but praise him: "The old man is really a real person!" ”

He looked back at the top of the South Cliff, where Sun Shusheng was fighting with the snake demon.

Sun Shusheng used his spiritual power to roll the pages of the book to resist the enemy, but the damage was limited, and he couldn't break the snake demon scales, and after fighting for a while, he was pulled away by the snake demon's tail.

"Roar!!"

At the same time, a whistling came from the top of the North Cliff.

Everyone looked up and saw a huge tiger demon rushing out of the north cliff and killing the scholar!

Sun Shusheng's situation was instantaneous!

"That scholar killed the ghost, the tiger demon is looking for him to be a ghost, as the so-called unjust debtor has the owner, this matter has nothing to do with us, if you don't leave at this time, when will you stay?" As soon as he whipped his horse, he galloped wildly, and Miss Jiang, who was so frightened that she couldn't say a word, followed closely behind by eight guards.

Ay......

Li Mu sighed, although he felt that this scholar was suspicious, and seemed to be beating the idea of Miss Jiang and her party, but judging from the current situation, it was he who blamed the scholar.

It's the big butler Zhao, who vividly shows what it means to know people and faces.

Sonor!

Li Mu pulled out the seven-star dragon abyss from the dragon scale space, and the sword peak roared, making a clear and lofty sword roar, stirring between the two cliffs!

The sword opens the gate of heaven!

Li Mu rose against the wind, a sword slashed out, and the ice spirit flickered, like a frost sword qi rising against the storm, forcing the tiger demon to retreat!

"Roar!!" The tiger demon roared, and the black demon power spread all over his body like a tidal wave, turning into a black tiger, bouncing back and forth between the two cliffs, and pounced on Li Mu.

"Brother Chen, it turns out that you are also a cultivator, hahaha!" Sun Shuchang laughed and said, "I killed the tiger demon and ghost, it will not let me go, Brother Chen, you go to deal with the snake demon, this demon tiger, leave it to me!" ”

He used his spiritual power to roll the pages of the book and kill the tiger demon.

"Be careful!" Li Mu turned his sword and killed the snake demon.

The snake demon is about five or six zhang long, the thickness of a bucket, covered with palm-sized cyan snake scales, very strong, round head, round head and round eyes, at first glance, like a fat pig!

Li Mu used the sword technique of entering the wine, and the ice spirit and fire spirit were used back and forth, the sword qi was vertical and horizontal, and the ice and fire were two-level, killing the snake demon scales and flying, and screaming in pain!

The blue-scaled snake demon seemed to be hurt, and slammed into Li Mu with a snort.

Li Mu smiled, he found that this snake was stupid, it seemed to have a huge body and unparalleled demonic power, but in fact, it turned over and over with two moves, one was a head mallet, which hit straight like a greedy snake.

Another trick is tail flicking.

It's lower than Cheng's three-plate axe.

After familiarizing himself with its fighting style, Li Mu easily avoided its head hammer, and then slashed out with a sword without looking back.

The flaming sword qi exploded dozens of snake scales with a bang, and the flesh and blood were blurred in an instant!

The green-scaled snake demon fought harder and harder, and the harder it worked, the more fierce it became, but in the end, it was hit in the abdomen, the snake scales flew over, and the blood flowed like an infusion, and it was even more wow, spitting out filth all over the ground!

Li Mu condensed his eyebrows and looked at it, and found that what the blue-scaled snake demon spit out was all half-digested spiritual flowers and plants, and it was actually a thing with no flesh and bones!

This...... Vegetarian?
