Chapter 288: Mountain Temple, the desire for the Somersault Cloud reaches its peak
The winter rain is pouring down.
On the barren mountain, the sound of beating leaves through the forest can be heard endlessly, and the chill seems to penetrate into the bone marrow with the air.
In the lonely temple, a group of merchants rushed in, complaining, shaking off the rainwater, and inspecting the goods.
"We're afraid we'll have to stay on the mountain tonight. The trail on the mountain is so close. Who knows what the weather is like."
"Hey, who knows why this mountain road is so difficult to walk."
"If you spend the night in the mountains, you won't encounter monsters, right?"
The merchants shivered and complained.
"Don't worry, this is the Tiger Temple, and the priests from the surrounding cities often worship it. It's very effective."
"With the protection of the tiger, I will occasionally spend the night here. It will be fine."
The middle-aged guide who led the way said confidently.
Seeing how determined he was, the merchants immediately relaxed and lit a fire to cook.
Not long after.
There was another movement at the door. Everyone was startled and looked up, only to see two people walking in.
"Excuse me."
The young man clasped his fists at everyone.
"When we are away from home, it is inevitable for each other to make things convenient for us."
The guide was all smiles.
The young man glanced at him thoughtfully, then sat next to the woman wearing a gauze.
The merchants were a little curious about the two of them at first, but soon ignored them and started chatting over scones and wine.
"Have you heard that the witch spirits worshiped in many places have been killed?"
"The witch spirits in Jiuling Village and Humao Town are all gone now."
"Who is so rebellious?"
"They are not human beings. One of them is an evil dragon and the other is a bird demon. They got together somehow."
"ah?"
The young man was a little surprised.
He is called Peerless Heavenly Jiao among the demon clan.
Slaying demons along the way, Feng Ping seemed to be a little different from what he imagined.
The merchants followed the sound and glanced at him. At this time, the fire was a little stronger. They could clearly see that the young man had a handsome face, gentle eyebrows, and a bright and cheerful smile. He was probably what people outside southern Xinjiang would call a humble gentleman.
The woman next to her was covered with a dark cloud gauze bamboo hat, and her face could not be seen clearly, but it made people feel that she was thousands of miles away.
"What bad things have they done?"
Evil Dragon Xiao Li asked.
"They killed the witch spirit but did not accept people's worship. Then who will people believe in in the future?" a businessman should have said.
Li Mo: "..."
He couldn't help but think about it.
Together with Ying Bing, he killed a fat-headed fish that deliberately made waves in the river and capsized the boat.
Only after accepting the worship will he calm down a little.
It just does less evil and can enjoy the incense and sacrifices in the temple openly.
A small sacrifice is held in January and a large festival is held in a year.
The small ones are cattle and sheep, the big ones are boys and girls.
"If you don't believe in witch spirits, then you don't need tribute."
"How about that?"
A businessman looked at Li Mo as if he were a stranger, and said angrily:
"It's always been like this."
"Yes, some cattle, sheep, and two children can be exchanged for everyone's safety. It's a good deal."
"For example, this tiger, with the protection of the tiger, the wild animals outside dare not come in, so we can sit here and talk."
"Then what if the ones being offered up...are you?"
Li Mo suddenly said quietly.
At some point, the woman in a bamboo hat beside him disappeared.
The bonfire swayed violently, and a gust of cold wind poured into the Tiger Temple, making the air a little colder.
It seems like something is reviving...
Everyone was shocked, rolling and crawling about to run out, but they just ran to the door.
Bang--
A huge black shadow hit the ground.
It is a green and purple tiger head, ferocious and huge, it can swallow an adult with its mouth open, it is extremely terrifying.
It was dead at this time, but its blood was clotted and frozen, and it could only smell the pungent fishy wind.
I don't know when the rain stopped.
The moonlight shines.
In front of the headless tiger corpse, a girl clad in moonlight slowly sheathed her sword, and the sapphire wings behind her slowly dissipated.
The night wind lifted her black veil, unintentionally revealing a corner of her stunning face.
"This tiger is quite powerful."
Li Mo kicked the huge tiger head out of the door and chuckled:
"It's much better than that fat-headed fish and that crow."
The merchants did not dare to say anything for a long time.
The protagonist they were talking about just now was actually sitting next to them from the beginning.
"Tiger!"
Suddenly the guide screamed loudly and fell straight to the ground.
So many merchants fled in all directions, only regretting that their parents had lost two legs.
"Haven't you got your goods yet?"
Li Mo shouted from behind.
But these words were like the monster's reminder, causing the merchants to run faster for a while.
"well."
Classmate Xiao Li shook his head and kicked out the accomplice who had been dead for a long time.
Maybe it's because of Shang Qinqing.
They have not encountered any powerful beasts along the way, most of them are so-called "witch spirits" along the way.
But now we have only walked less than a third of the way.
I don’t know what changes will happen later.
After adding a few firewood to the bonfire, the temple became quiet.
"Li Mo."
Ying Bing took off his bamboo hat and put it into the big-headed doll.
When she called out these two words, the girl's tone made it impossible to imagine the sword energy with which she had just killed the tiger.
"Coming."
Li Mo sat next to her and naturally held her little hand.
"Take it."
Ying Bing took out the demon-slaying gourd and handed it to Li Mo, and then he held the Moon Soul Crystal in his left hand.
The demon-slaying gourd was full, and it could be used to water the Moon Soul Crystal. Although it was not as powerful as the power of all living beings, it was also a holy product for improving the soul.
"Let's get started."
"Yes."
Li Mo frowned.
As we all know, it takes two hands to unscrew the gourd.
But he only had two hands, one of which was holding Bingtuozi.
"....."
Ying Bing seemed to understand the boy's entanglement. She pursed her lips and was about to loosen her hand for a while.
Then she saw the boy bite open the lid of the gourd, and his movements were quite heroic.
"Do you think that if both hands are held, the effect of dual cultivation will be better?" Li Mo asked after pouring the Moon Soul Crystal.
Ying Bing raised her eyebrows slightly: "In this case, will the effect be the same if you pinch your feet with your hands?"
Li Mo: "!"
Bingtuozi has learned to draw inferences from one example? He vaguely has some of his genius!
"I think we can try it. We may have discovered a new use for "Phoenix Singing in Tianze."
"But I have to keep watch. You have to practice it yourself."
Ying Bing smiled slightly. She gently tapped his forehead with her index finger and stood up.
"Oh."
Xiao Li scratched his palm and felt empty.
At this moment, Xiao Li's desire to do the somersault cloud reached its peak.
One somersault is not to mention a distance of 100,800 miles, but it can always return to Nanguan City, right?
Now the two of them have to take turns to keep watch, and they can't practice together.
At present, there are still three changes missing from the 72 changes.
After completing these three changes, you can get in touch with the next magical power...
