Chapter 723: On Toad Mountain
Early the next morning, the team set off again, but there were three fewer people all of a sudden, which made Ling'er a little unaccustomed to it.
Muxi Muxia Ou Jingyan walked with them all the way from Yuhang, cared for each other, and took care of them, and they had long been regarded as an indispensable member of the team.
Their sudden departure made them feel that something was missing, and the Miao warriors were stunned by the lack of a few beautiful women in the team.
Along the official road all the way, when you meet a village, you will go to the village to spend the night, when you meet a town, you will stay in the inn, and if you have no village or town, you will sleep in the wilderness, and everywhere you go, you will basically leave the name of the flying cat, and of course, there is also the silver money that is enough to change the life of some poor families.
After more than ten days, a big mountain is in front of you, and you can walk along the official road for several days, but you can climb it in one day at most.
Xiaoyao went to explore the road and found that the mountain road was not difficult, Ouyang Fei discussed it with Elder Shi, and decided to go over the mountain.
Ling'er got off the sedan chair, Ouyang Fei waved his hand to put the sedan chair away, and then released it for her to ride after going down the mountain.
The group hiked up the mountain, just halfway up the mountain, but saw that the sky suddenly darkened, and they were anxious when they saw it, "It seems that we have to speed up the pace, hurry up and find a place to settle down temporarily, if this heavy rain comes, it will not be good." ”
Ouyang Fei looked up at the sky in the distance and smiled, "Don't worry, there won't be heavy rain." ”
"Huh?" Xiaoyao and Ling'er Yue looked at him puzzled.
Elder Shi also looked at the sky like Ouyang Fei at this time, and said in a deep voice: "This is not a rain cloud, you look over there." ”
A few people looked in the direction pointed by Elder Shi, and couldn't help but be startled, only to see that the mountains not far away were lush and green, but the sky was dark, as if there was a black qi hovering around.
Xiaoyao asked in surprise, "How is it dark there?"
Ouyang Fei said with a smile: "That's the demonic energy, this demonic energy is so strong, it is almost substantial, there must be a big demon entrenched on this mountain." ”
"Big demon?" Xiaoyao was stunned when he heard this, and then became excited, "It's just right, if this demon doesn't come to provoke us, it's okay, if you dare to provoke, this hero is just to kill the demon and eliminate the demon." ”
Lin Yueru glanced at him, and Shi Shiran said: "Okay! If there is a monster at that time, it will be handed over to you Li Daxia." ”
"I'll leave it to me, who have I been afraid of?" ”
Ouyang Fei shook his head with a smile and took another step, Elder Shi sighed, "It's good to be young! ”
Ouyang Fei said with a smile: "In fact, sharp qi is regardless of age, it depends on the mentality, the mentality is young, even if you are seventy or eighty, you are still vigorous." ”
Elder Shi praised convincingly: "Ouyang Gongzi's words are always so thought-provoking, and the old man admires them. ”
"Huh. ”
The group walked for an hour, and finally saw a grass pavilion in front of them, in which people were already resting, and the group walked into the pavilion, in which there was a young hunter and a scholar, each without saying anything.
When the two saw Ouyang Fei and the group entering, they looked at each other for a while, Ouyang Fei smiled and nodded at the two, and the Orion hugged his fists and didn't speak.
Seeing Ouyang Fei's kind attitude, the scholar boldly said, "Dare to ask Brother Tai, do you also want to cross this mountain?"
Ouyang Fei bowed his head and said, "Exactly, what advice does Brother Tai have?"
The scholar said: "Don't dare, I heard that there is a toad essence on this mountain, which grows as big as a cow, and eats passers-by." ”
When the hunter saw the scholar speak, he couldn't help but smile and said: "It turns out that you can speak, and after sitting for a long time, you don't let go of half a fart, I thought you were dumb." ”
The scholar blushed and said shyly: "No, no, no, Xiaosheng is just an acquaintance with his brother, and he doesn't dare to disturb him." ”
Orion smiled and said no more, but Xiaoyao took the initiative to say, "What is there to be afraid of toads? I have killed all the snake demons that grow bigger than cows." ”
The scholar's eyes lit up, and he said happily: "I see that you are wearing blades, you must all be people who practice martial arts, right?"
Xiaoyao spread his hands and said, "Is there any doubt about this?"
The scholar said: "That's great, Xiaosheng is willing to bid 2,000 yuan, please escort me across this mountain road, I don't know what my brother wants?"
"Snort"
Hearing the scholar's words, Lin Yueru sneered, very disdainful, not to mention Ouyang Fei, as far as the silver money she brought out from home on her own body, I am afraid that it is the amount that many people can't earn in a lifetime, so naturally they won't look at this money equivalent to two taels of silver in their eyes.
And this scholar inexplicably made her think of Liu Jinyuan, so she showed disdain on her face.
Ouyang Fei cried and laughed and said: "This brother, if it's a ride, it's nothing to take you for a ride, you don't have to talk about money, if you don't go by the way, even if you have more silver taels, we can't help it, it depends on whether we have fate, right?"
The scholar nodded again and again, and said, "What Brother Tai said is very true, but Xiaosheng really has to go to Chang'an, alas...... The examination period is approaching, and Xiaosheng has studied hard for ten years, just to enter Beijing to catch the exam, but because of the demons blocking the way, there is no way, if you take a detour, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up, it is really a dilemma!"
Listening to the scholar's words, Ling'er smiled and said, "That's really a coincidence, we are also going in that direction, you can go with us!"
The scholar was overjoyed, and said again and again: "Thank you, girl, thank you." ”
After they had eaten the dry food and rested for half an hour, they set out again, and the scholar hurried to follow.
The further you go, the more rugged and winding the mountain road becomes, and the darker the sky becomes, and although it is still daytime, it is gloomy and gloomy, and there is no sound except the croaking of toads.
Just when everyone walked to an empty mountain road, Ouyang Fei suddenly moved, turned his head to look at the sky on the right, and after two breaths, Elder Shi also heard something, raised his hand, and ordered the warriors to stop.
It was only then that Xiaoyao heard a sharp whistle piercing the air coming from the sky on the right.
Everyone turned their heads to look in unison, only to see a small black dot appear in the gloomy sky in the distance, and the black dot quickly approached, and in a blink of an eye, it was already in human form, falling in front of them at a faster speed.
Elder Shi glanced at Ouyang Fei in surprise, he didn't expect him to hear it so much earlier than himself, didn't he say that his cultivation was more than a step higher than his own?
When the scholar saw someone flying in mid-air, he was so frightened that his legs and feet weakened, and he couldn't stand still and sat down on the ground.
The person who came was dressed in a long robe and slowly belted, his beard and hair were all white, revealing a bit of bone fairy wind, but his majestic face was not as elegant as his beard, but a little solemn.
Xiaoyao saw that at the feet of the person who flew closer, stepping on a sword that was wider than the ordinary long sword, this ability to fly with the sword, made Xiaoyao envious, but it was a pity that he was not cultivated enough, and he couldn't do this for the time being.
