Approaching the town, everyone had seen something strange from the sky, in the center of the town, there was a clearing, where a huge wooden shelf was erected, and there seemed to be a person tied to it, and there were many people standing around, pointing and talking.

"What's the situation?" Wang Banxian exclaimed.

Li Zhengdao took him, sped up, and flew towards the town, so far that he crossed the large buildings of the town, reached the center of the town, and fell down.

"It's back, the Taoists are back. ”

"Let them do justice for us, and burn this scourge. ”

"Burn him. ”

The crowd howled excitedly.

Ying Wuxin then fell, and glanced at the front, a huge pile of firewood was crowded together, and a middle-aged man who looked a little old was tied to it, with injuries on his face and blood at the corners of his mouth, obviously he had been beaten, and he hung his head at the moment and didn't say a word.

"What's going on?" asked Li Zhengdao.

The crowd on one side dispersed, Hong Yu walked out with a few old men, pointed to the man who was tied up, and said: "His name is Mao San, he is a hunter in the town, he often goes into the mountains to hunt, sometimes collects herbs, sells firewood, it is he who captured the leader of those toads, and now we want to burn him, apologize for those toads, and ask them to leave." ”

"Do you know that he caught the leader of the toads?" Li Zhengdao was a little surprised.

"Of course I know, he is the only one in the whole town here who goes into the mountains to collect medicine, and often catches some animals to sell, if he is not the leader who caught the toad, who else can there be?"

Ying Wuxin rolled his eyes and let out a long sigh, listening to the meaning of this, it was clearly a guess.

Li Zhengdao was also full of surprise and asked, "So you don't have evidence." ”

Hong Yu's old face was red, a little embarrassed, but he still insisted: "Mao San obviously has a ghost in his heart, let's go check his house, he didn't let us in, and he beat people." ”

Li Zhengdao's face became a little more serious, and said: "Then have you ever thought about a question, if it is really him who captured the leader of the toad, and you just burn him to death, will the toad retreat?

Ying Wuxin said: "If the leader of the toad was really captured by him, then have you found the leader? If you don't find the leader, burn him like this, what will be the consequences? The leader of the toad may have been hidden by him, he died, no one will know where that thing is, the leader of the toad will eventually starve to death, you will become the murderer of the leader of the toad, what will those toads do, have you ever thought about it?"

"We asked, he just won't speak, what can we do?" Hong Yu said helplessly.

"Let's ask, for now, it's important to find the leader of the toad, and everything else has to be put aside for the time being. Ying Wuxin's expression was a little more majestic, and the momentum of the Dao Sect was surging, giving everyone an obvious sense of oppression.

"Okay, okay. ”

Hong Yu was oppressed and couldn't breathe, so he hurriedly took a few steps back and agreed again and again.

Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen stepped forward, rescued the tied man, and made a preliminary diagnosis.

"There were no serious injuries, just some skin injuries. ”

Li Zhengdao walked over and looked at Mao San carefully, "I'll take him back to the inn." ”

After speaking, Li Zhengdao took Mao San and flew away, followed by Sun Xiaoman and Bai Miaozhen, Ying Wuxin smiled and said: "Don't worry, we will definitely find the leader of the toad, everyone disperse, go back to their respective homes." ”

Hong Yu sighed and turned around with the people to leave.

Ying Wuxin took Wang Banxian and flew back to the inn.

In the room of the inn, Sun Xiaoman gave Mao San a simple treatment, and then Li Zhengdao inquired,

However, Mao San's eyes were straight, like a fool, and there was no response.

Ying Wuxin walked in, took out a silver ticket, put it in front of Mao San, and said: "This is a silver ticket of one hundred taels, tell me the whereabouts of the leader of the toad, it is yours." ”

The others all looked at this scene in amazement, their faces full of surprise.

However, what surprised everyone even more was that Mao San, who had always been dumbfounded like a fool, actually reacted, glanced at the silver ticket, shook his head and said, "It's not enough." ”

Ying Wuxin sighed helplessly and looked at Sun Xiaoman.

Sun Xiaoman smiled proudly, drove Ying Wuxin away, took out a silver ticket of 1,000 taels and said, "This should be enough." ”

"Enough. Mao San said, reaching out to get the silver ticket.

Sun Xiaoman dodged his hand and said with a smile: "You haven't said the whereabouts of the toad leader yet." ”

"Under my well, there is a bamboo cage, where the poison king is hidden. ”

"Poison King?" Sun Xiaoman's face changed drastically and said, "Is it highly poisonous?"

Mao San was stunned for a while, thought for a while and said: "It doesn't seem to be poisonous, but it looks very ugly, everyone thinks it's poisonous, and it's very powerful, so it's called the Poison King." ”

"Why did you arrest the Poison King?" Li Zhengdao and Ying Wuxin asked at the same time.

"In order to make money, the Poison King is very strange, and I believe that he will definitely make a lot of money. Mao Sandao.

"What is the difficulty in your family that you need to take such a risk?" Li Zhengdao did not open his mouth this time, and should have no intention of asking.

"Give my daughter a dowry and find her a man. Mao Sandao.

Everyone was even more confused, the general wife is given by the man as a bride price, and as for the woman's dowry, it is more or less meaningful.

Mao San hesitated for a while, gritted his teeth and said: "My daughter was originally very beautiful when she was young, but once she followed her mother into the mountains, she was attacked by wild beasts, and her appearance was ruined when she came back, and her mother also died. ”

Ying Wuxin shook his head and said: "I'm sorry, to tell you the truth, even if you prepare a rich dowry for your daughter and find a mother-in-law, people value money, not your daughter, once you get the money, your daughter will definitely be disliked, and even suffer more miserable treatment." Because with money, people can marry a better wife, how will your daughter be targeted, have you thought about it?"

"I don't know, I don't know. Mao San covered his head and became in pain.

"How is your daughter disfigured, I am a practitioner of the Medical Dao, maybe I can treat her, can you take me to see her?"

"Yes. Mao Sandao.

Sun Xiaoman gave the silver ticket to Mao San, hesitated for a while, and finally he took it.

The group left the inn and went straight to Mao San's house, there were many onlookers on the road, but with Hong Yu's explanation, they did not interfere, but whispered discussions and criticisms were inevitable.

A few people didn't care, and Mao San didn't even think he heard it.

After entering the courtyard of Mao San's house, he went into the inner room and took out a hemp rope with a few hooks made of bamboo tied to it.

Throwing the hook into the water, Mao San picked up a cage made of bamboo strips after a while, and a purple-black thing could be seen in it, but the bamboo strips were too dense to see the whole picture of the thing.

Mao San opened the lid of the bamboo cage, and several people probed over, and finally saw the full picture of the poison king inside.

The Poison King is about the size of a duck's egg, and the lower half of his body looks black, and when it reaches the position near the head, the color gradually changes to purple, and it becomes lighter and lighter, and when it reaches the position of the mouth, it becomes white.

There is smooth skin on his body, but there is no ugly pimple like a toad, but the poison king is indeed as Mao San said, and his appearance is very terrifying and hideous.

On its head, there are some sharp black bumps, like small spines, with a purple head, a black body, and large bulging eyes, it does look like it gives people a terrible feeling.

"This is the Poison King?" asked Sun Xiaoman.

Mao San nodded.

"Let it go, and the toad will leave?" asked Li Zhengdao.

"I think so. "Mao San wasn't sure," the old people in the town said that the poison king was the leader of the toad, whether it was or not, I don't know, I just looked at it specially, so I caught it. ”

"Do you have a buyer?" Ying asked unintentionally.

Mao San blushed and shook his head slightly.

Ying Wuxin sighed and looked at the poison king in the cage.

Li Zhengdao lifted the cage and said, "Since we have found it, we will take the poison king back to the mountains to see if the toad will follow, as for Mao San, you will follow us for the time being, by the way, what about your daughter?"

"She was so ugly that she was said to be ominous, so she lived in the mountains. ”

Everyone's faces changed, and their eyes were a little unbearable.

Li Zhengdao walked out with the cage in his hand, and many people on the street watched and exclaimed.

A few people were unmoved, out of the town, to a low-lying place, Li Zhengdao raised the cage, facing the front, the toads in the water were agitated, and approached this side, not caring at all about the drug in the water stimulating the skin.

"It's really effective, let's go to the mountains. Li Zhengdao smiled with relief, and walked towards the mountain with the cage, which was a ditch that was convenient for toads to walk.

The army of toads in the back really chased after them restlessly, and some even jumped non-stop.

All the way into the mountain, according to Mao San's instructions, everyone went around and took the poison king to a place where water and grass grew on both sides of the stream.

Opening the cage, Li Zhengdao put the poison king into the stream.

Plop Plop Plop –

Countless toads jumped into the stream and swam towards the Poison King, but instead of approaching, they gathered on one side and surrounded the Poison King, like loyal and obedient people.

"It's really the leader of the toads. Wang Banxian stood on the shore and watched, admiring.

Li Zhengdao's eyes flashed, and he said lightly: "This poison king should also have some Taoism, otherwise his body would not be so different from a toad." ”

"Take us to your daughter. Sun Xiaoman said.

Mao San nodded, and led the group into the mountain forest again, and on a hillside, a small wooden house appeared.

"I'm going to talk to Xiao Ni, she's afraid of being born. Mao Sandao.

Everyone nodded and watched Mao San leave.

A moment later, Mao San came out with a young woman, with patches of black spots on her face, looking a little hideous and terrifying, even if several people were prepared, their faces changed abruptly.

Sun Xiaoman clenched his slender hand all of a sudden, gritted his teeth and said, "This is the disfigurement caused by the toad's venom." ”
