Great Swordsman

Chapter 151 One-line Cliff Snake Demon Tiger Demon!

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

The night wind blows, and the shadows of the trees dance.

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 wall is cracked and the gate is lying aside. The faint fire that Li Mu saw before is overflowing from the gate.

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

In the temple, the statue of the mountain deity has been cracked, leaving only a clay base, covered with dust, cobwebs hanging on the wall beams, and dusty curtains hanging aside.

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

"Hello, brother." Li Mu cupped his hands, "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, and concentrated on reading.

Li Mu walked to the fire and sat down not far away. He had some expectations. In the novels he had read in his previous life, if he stayed overnight in a deserted temple, something would definitely happen!
Especially after the recovery of spiritual energy, demons and ghosts were born one after another, and Li Mu has only seen monsters up to now, not a complete ghost.

Thinking of this, Li Mu hurriedly restrained his mind, and silently recited "Song of Righteousness" to condense his righteousness.

The scholar read the book for a while, his eyes were a little astringent, and he closed it. He looked up at Li Mu who was meditating, and asked curiously, "What's the name of this brother? It's so late, you don't have to be afraid if you go on the road alone." Are you in danger?"

Li Mu opened his eyes. He never liked to close his eyes and talk nonsense: "I'm Chen Ping'an, to tell you the truth, this is my first time in Huaiyin County, and I accidentally lost my way."

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

"Gusu County." Li Mu asked back, "Brother, what about you? Where did you come from and where are you going?"

"Me? I don't know either." The scholar sighed melancholy, "I'm a scholar, surnamed Sun, who studied hard for ten years and was preparing to take the imperial examination, but now that my spiritual energy has recovered, the imperial examination... Heh, it's better to practice."

"Oh, Brother Sun is a cultivator?" Li Mu's eyes lit up slightly. Could this be a demon cultivator?

"It's nothing more than field training 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 thousands of books. If you mind, I would like to go to Gusu County with Brother Chen, so I can have someone to take care of me on the way, how about it?"

Li Mu nodded with a smile on his face: "I don't mind, I don't mind, I should thank Brother Sun for being able to have practitioners with me."

Now that Li Mu's Qi Containing Technique is perfect, as long as he doesn't make a move, in the eyes of outsiders, he is just an ordinary handsome guy.

Not to mention the unknown Sun Shusheng in front of him, even the master of Shenqing Temple can't see through him.

Therefore, Li Mu felt at ease pretending to be a pig!

The two chatted one after another, and after a while, footsteps came from outside the temple, accompanied by the long braying of the white horse, and a delicate woman's voice came: "What a handsome white horse, so beautiful! ...It's a pity that there is a master."

"If Miss likes it, I'll buy it, Old Zhao." An old voice said.

"This...isn't it good?" the woman said crisply, with a bit of joy and worry.

Then, a group of people walked in.

The leader was an old man who was nearly sixty years old, wearing a gray and old gown, and looked like a housekeeper.

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

Behind the two, there were eight other guards, each with big arms, round faces, long knives on their waists, and a wooden box on their backs. They didn't look like kind-hearted people.

"You two are invited." The old man who looked like a butler smiled and cupped his hands, "Old man Zhao Da, if you dare to ask who owns the white horse outside, my lady wants to..."

"Not for sale." Li Mu refused without waiting for him to finish speaking.

Is it amazing to be rich?

Pooh!
"This..." Housekeeper Zhao looked at the young lady behind him in embarrassment.

"Hmph, if you don't sell it, don't sell it. Miss Ben doesn't want to buy it yet, hum, hum!" Miss Junqiao walked aside angrily, squatted in the corner with her arms folded, sullen, and made vicious faces at Li Mu from time to time.

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

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

"To tell you the truth, we are also going to Gusu County. If you don't mind, let's go together!" Steward Zhao warmly invited.

What a coincidence... Li Mu smiled even more.

Sun Shusheng asked directly: "What are you doing in Gusu County? Are you visiting relatives?"

"Probably." Manager Zhao glanced at the handsome girl who was squatting in the corner sullenly, and said in a low voice, "That's my young lady, surnamed Jiang, who was given to Gusu County... a certain famous family, the young lady has a high temper , I want to see the future with my own eyes... just... hey."

Seeing the unspeakable expression on his face, Li Mu was a little suspicious, it didn't look like he was lying.

He looked at Shusheng Sun again. Could it be that the reason why Shusheng Sun proposed to go to Gusu County with him was actually because of that Miss Jiang?

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

"It's a wrong call." Mr. Zhao said with a smile, "Ahead of here, there is a line of cliffs, and the cliffs on both sides are very steep. Fortunately, there is a long road in the middle, which can cross Huaiyin County and go further. Before that, you can take the waterway and go directly to Taihu Lake in Gusu County."

"Hehe..." Suddenly, another sneer came from outside the temple, "The first line of cliffs is not only steep, there are monsters there!"

While speaking, a cold-faced swordsman in white robe walked in, his pale face glowing with a strange blush under the light of the bonfire.

"Monster? What kind of demon?" Miss Jiang, who was crouching in the corner, interrupted suddenly, and ran over excitedly to ask.

"Miss." Housekeeper Zhao held her back and shook his head slightly at her.

The cold-faced swordsman said coldly: "There is a snake demon on the cliff, try to transform into a beautiful woman, specialize in seducing men, sucking men's blood and energy! It is said that in the snake's nest, there are many bones and ghosts. Howling ghosts and wolves, the sound can be heard for hundreds of miles, it can stop children from crying!"

Miss Jiang was afraid of snakes. When she heard that it was a snake demon, she trembled in fright and hid behind Manager Zhao.

"Shut up!" Chief Steward Zhao said anxiously, "I've never heard of a snake demon on the first line of the cliff, don't talk nonsense!"

"Hehehe..." The cold-faced swordsman sneered, "I'm so scared just hearing his name, I advise you to go back home."

"Grandpa Zhao, what should I do?" Miss Jiang asked worriedly.

She is indeed interested in monsters. She can accept rabbit monsters, fox spirits, and dog monsters, but snake monsters are too big!

Butler Zhao hurriedly comforted her: "You can't believe everything outsiders say. Even if there is a snake demon, we may not meet it. Miss, don't worry."

Sun Shusheng poked the fire with firewood, and the flames were soaring. He asked the cold-faced swordsman: "You are so familiar with this place, so you know how to avoid the snake demon."

"Of course I know, but I can't tell you for nothing!" the cold-faced swordsman snorted.

Sun Shusheng chuckled, took out a spiritual herb, and said, "This is a spiritual herb picked from a nearby mountain."

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

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

The cold-faced swordsman smiled and said: "There is a black tiger Taoist Lord in Beiya. He is a Taoist priest who wanders by. He sees the snake demon causing harm to Yiyiya, so he lives in Beiya. He fights with the snake demon every half a month. It has been two months so far. It’s more than enough! It’s safe to take the route to Beiya!”

When Ms. Jiang heard this, she hurriedly told the old butler to divert to Beiya.

Steward Zhao was a little hesitant, because Beiya Mountain was high and densely forested. If he used Beiya, the original half-hour journey would take several days.

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

Just looking at the pitiful appearance of his young lady, Housekeeper Zhao had no choice but to agree, but Sun Shusheng sneered: "In my opinion, it is absolutely impossible to go to the North Cliff!"

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

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

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

"I mean, someone is working for a tiger!" Sun Shusheng sneered and opened the page of the book in his hand, waved his hand lightly, his spiritual power surged wildly, and the pages of the book flew all over the sky in an instant, turning into swords, guns and halberds, attacking the swordsman!
The cold-faced swordsman's face changed drastically, and he drew his sword to fight back with a roar, and in two or three strokes... was killed until his head was bloody, and it disappeared in a blink of an eye.

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

"I didn't expect you to be a cultivator. Disrespect and disrespect." Butler Zhao bowed his hands in salute.

Sun Shusheng nodded slightly, and sat back beside the fire, warming himself and reading a book.

Beside, Miss Jiang was so frightened that her face turned pale, and she stomped her feet angrily: "Damn it, how dare you lie to me! Beiya demon tiger, sooner or later this lady will lie on your tiger skin and step on your feet every day, huh, Humph!"

After Miss Jiang lost her temper, the mountain temple quickly fell silent, only the crackling of the fire and the sound of Shusheng Sun turning the pages of his book.

Li Mu sat aside, narrowing his eyes slightly, looking at Miss Jiang's eight guards.

In the battle that just happened, these eight people seemed to be sitting on the sidelines, and they didn't mean to be nervous about their young lady at all.

It seems that there is no purpose.

There is also Sun Shusheng, who succeeded in gaining the trust of Butler Zhao by means of a series of actions to expose and strangle the ghosts. It seems that he also has ulterior motives.

Li Mu yawned and pretended to fall asleep.

All night.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone got up, washed with the mountain dew, and went down the mountain together.

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

Sun Shusheng doesn't have a horse, but he is a practitioner, walking behind, shrinking to an inch, but he can keep up.

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

Yiyi Cliff lives up to its name. The cliffs on both sides are tens of feet high. In the middle is a long mountain road with a width of more than [-] meters. From a distance, it looks like two huge palms that seem to be closed.

"I can't confirm whether there is a snake monster on Yiyi Cliff, but there is a high probability that there is a tiger monster, and it is in Beiya, brother Chen, and everyone must be careful!" Sun Shusheng solemnly reminded.

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

After walking for half an hour, I suddenly heard tiger roars from the North Cliff. The tiger roars shook the sky and shook the mountains and fields. It seemed that even the cliff was forced by the power of the tiger demon. It trembled and dropped countless fine stones!
"hiss~~"

At the same time, a strange sound like a shovel scraping an iron pan came from the South Cliff.

This sound is extremely ear-piercing, the scalp of the listener is numb, and the heart is trembling with fear, it seems to have the ability to take people's hearts away!

"Ahhhh!!!"

At this moment, Miss Jiang suddenly let out a sharp cry, like a silver bottle breaking, "Snake demon, snake demon!!!"

Everyone looked around and found a huge python on the top of the South Cliff.

"There are snake monsters on the south cliff, and tiger monsters on the north cliff. This line of cliffs is really a line between life and death." Sun Shusheng frowned, "If you let it go, it may be a catastrophe!"

Hesitation flashed in his eyes, and finally turned into firmness.

"You guys go, I'll get rid of the demon!!" Sun Shusheng jumped up and rushed up the south cliff as if walking on flat ground.

"Hero, I will remember you in my mind!" Butler Zhao hurriedly told everyone to run away.

Did this run away?

Li Mu subconsciously followed behind, and asked, "Brother Sun is killing the demons behind, and I just ran away, isn't it too good?"

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

Pooh!
In the Shanshen Temple before, this old guy looked like a good old man, but he didn't expect that it was all pretending. Before he died, he showed his true colors.

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

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

Sun Shusheng used his spiritual power to fend off the enemy by scrolling the pages of the book, but his damage was limited, and he couldn't break through the scales of the snake demon snake. After fighting for a while, he was sent flying by the snake demon's tail.

"Roar!!"

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

Everyone looked up, and saw a huge tiger demon rushing out of the North Cliff, killing the scholar!
Sun Shusheng's situation was at stake in an instant!
"The scholar killed the ghost, and the tiger demon asked him to be a ghost. As the saying goes, there is a debtor and a debtor. This matter has nothing to do with us. If we don't leave now, when will we wait?" He whipped his horsewhip. The horse galloped wildly, and Ms. Jiang, who was too frightened to say a word, followed closely behind under the protection of eight guards.

Hey……

Li Mu sighed, although he felt that the scholar was behaving suspiciously, as if he was trying to plot against Miss Jiang and her party, but judging from the current situation, he was wrong to blame the scholar.

On the contrary, the housekeeper Zhao, vividly demonstrated what it means to know people, know the face, but not the heart.

Keng!
Li Mu pulled out the seven-star Dragon Abyss from the dragon scale space, and the sword peak clanged, making a clear and high-pitched sword cry, stirring between the two cliffs!
The sword opens the gate of heaven!

Li Mu rises against the wind, strikes out with a sword, the icy soul flickers, and the frost-like sword energy rises against the storm, forcing the tiger demon back!

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

"Brother Chen, so you are also a practitioner, hahaha!" Sun Shuchang laughed and said, "I killed the tiger demon ghost, and it will never let me go. Brother Chen, you go and deal with the snake demon. Demon Tiger, leave it to me!"

He scrolled the pages of the book with spiritual power and killed the tiger demon.

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

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

Li Mu used the general wine sword art, using the ice soul and fire spirit back and forth, the sword energy was vertical and horizontal, with two levels of ice and fire, killing the snake demon's scales flying, screaming in pain!

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

Li Mu laughed, he found that the snake was stupid, it looked like a huge body, with unparalleled monster power, but in reality it only had two tricks tossing and turning, one was a head hammer, and it hit straight like a greedy snake.

Another trick is to flick the tail.

It is lower than Cheng Yaojin's three axes.

After getting familiar with its fighting style, Li Mu easily avoided its head hammer, and then slashed out with his sword without looking back.

Lie Yan Jian Qi exploded dozens of snake scales on it with a bang, and the flesh and blood there were instantly blurred!
The green-scaled snake demon struggled harder and harder, but in the end, it was hit in the abdomen with one blow, the snake scales flew, and the blood flowed profusely.

Li Mu frowned and looked, and found that what the green-scaled snake monster spit out were all half-digested spiritual flowers and herbs, and there was no flesh and bones at all!
This... vegetarian?
