Chapter 186 Chapter 185

.Shen Mu and the others left the village and continued to head south, passing through several towns, and when they passed a barren mountain shrouded in mist and sparsely populated, they met a thin scholar.

When Xiucai saw Shen Mu and the others, he hurriedly said: "Are you going to pass this mountain too? I heard people say that there was a toad spirit on this mountain. It was as big as a cow and ate people and animals in the past. It died yesterday. How many people have died!"

Shen Mu laughed and said, "What's so scary about a toad? No matter how big it is, it can only grow one mouth and four legs, and kick it into the water with a plop."

The scholar saw that Shen Mu and the others were all kung fu masters, so he didn't dare to offend, and said repeatedly: "Yes... what brother said is that Xiaosheng must be a martial arts practitioner when he sees that brother is wearing a sword. Xiaosheng is willing to bid two thousand Wen Qian, please be my bodyguard and escort me through this mountain road, what do you think of my brother?"

Shen Mu waved his hand and refused, "No, I always only protect women and don't work for men."

The scholar showed bitterness, and begged: "Brother, think about it again, alas... ten years of hard study, just for this time to go to Beijing for the exam, but because of monsters blocking the way... what should I do? .”

Zhao Ling'er, who was at the side, also felt that this scholar was pitiful, and said, "Ah Mu, anyway, we are going to cross this mountain, so why don't we take him with us."

Shen Mu thinks about it too, so let's be a favor, and said: "Okay~ I promise to escort you across this mountain road if you are in trouble. Our journey is very fast, you have to keep up."

The scholar showed joy, and thanked Shen Mu repeatedly: "Thank you young hero."

Shen Mu didn't want to take advantage of this scholar, so he said, "As for the price..."

The scholar gritted his teeth, as if he had made up his mind, and said hastily, "I'll add another thousand, so the total is three thousand."

Shen Mu rubbed his hands and said, "Okay ~ pay half first!"

"Okay, deal." The scholar hastily paid Shen Mu [-] Wen.

"Ding dong, host, get 1000 happiness points."

Shen Mu didn't like this little money from a scholar at all, but he knew that as long as he got rewards from people in his own plane, he could also get happiness points, but the money obtained from burning, killing, and looting would not get happiness points.

Shen Mu and his party hadn't gone far when they encountered a Taoist priest with a big sword on his back and a Daofeng fairy bone blocking their way.

"This place is dangerous, don't stay for long!"

Shen Mu had already felt the spiritual pressure emanating from this person, and it was obvious that this person was extraordinary, but he couldn't tell what this person's cultivation level was at all when he used the survey technique. He hurriedly stepped forward and clasped his fists and asked, "Excuse me, are you...?"

The Taoist Fuxu said: "The old man watched the stars at night, and he foresaw that a great bloody disaster will happen here today, and I advise you to leave quickly!"

Shen Mu was noncommittal and hadn't answered yet.

Li Xiaoyao stepped forward and said unceremoniously: "This is impossible, we have to hurry."

The Taoist flicked his sleeves and said, "Hmph, if you don't listen, just go, if you want to survive, go back down the mountain quickly!" Then, he walked away with his sword, turned into a sword light, and disappeared among the clouds.

Li Xiaoyao was taken aback: "Flying Immortal Sword! Oh, master!"

Shen Mu didn't take it seriously, even he couldn't see this person's cultivation level, so it was expected that he could fly with a sword.

Lin Yueru suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said: "I remembered, he is a senior sword master! Today's No. 1 martial arts! I saw him once when I was young."

"Oh...it's a pity! If I knew it earlier, I would have begged him to accept me as a disciple." Li Xiaoyao repeatedly said it was a pity, looking at the senior sword master who had disappeared into the sky, he could only sigh.

When the scholar just heard the words of the Sword Master, he retreated and stammered: "Four...four...young heroes, I...I see..."

Lin Yueru glanced at it, and said in a speechless scholar, "What's wrong with you?"

Xiucai wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, "I see... I'd better go back..."

Lin Yueru was puzzled and said, "Why? Is there anything to be afraid of if you haven't seen a monster? Don't you believe us?"

"This... I... I think the previous agreement is cancelled, and I will leave..." Xiucai ran back as soon as he said.

Lin Yueru looked at the way the scholar ran away in embarrassment, and said with disdain: "Go~ these scholars are really useless."

Shen Mu and the others continued on their way, and half an hour later, they came across a small wine shop built with thatch. They were a little thirsty, so they wanted to take a rest here and buy some wine.

The owner of this small restaurant is a woman. When she saw Shen Mu and the others, she hurriedly stepped forward to say hello: "Yo~heh~ are the guest officials here for a tour? What do you want?"

"Madam, do you have wine?" Shen Mu said, and sat down under the hospitality of the lady boss.

The proprietress smiled coquettishly: "The old daughter Hong of the small shop is famous far and wide!"

Shen Mu said: "Okay~ Let's warm up with two pots. What good food does your store offer?"

"Come right away!" The proprietress immediately went to prepare the food and drinks.

Zhao Ling'er brushed her hair in front of her forehead, said: "This mountain store in Zhongye has a special flavor."

Lin Yueru smiled and said, "Yes, but Linger, can you drink?"

"I'll just drink water." Zhao Ling'er waved her hand, and then said to Li Xiaoyao, "Brother Xiaoyao, don't drink too much."

Lin Yueru put on a tigress look, "Sister Linger is right, you two big men still want to protect us, if you drink too much, how can you protect us?"

Both Li Xiaoyao and Shen Mu had wry smiles on their faces and could only nod their heads repeatedly.

The proprietress brought the wine and dishes, poured wine for Shen Mu, and asked, "Dare to ask~ Where did the young heroes come from?"

"Jiangnan."

The proprietress nodded, and then said with a smile: "I~ my hometown is Chuanjiang, and I have lived here for the past few years... There have been many wars and chaos. Many people either moved to Lingnan or came here to make a living. I want to wait until the world is peaceful before returning. home……"

As soon as Shen Mu heard this, he said: "Since you are here to make a living, you must know that there are toad spirits haunting this place, why do you dare to open a shop here?" Then he poured the wine on the face of the proprietress.

"Boom!" Suddenly, a burst of white smoke rose, and everyone was shocked, only to see that the proprietress just now had turned into a huge toad spirit.

"Cuckoo..." Toad Jing glared at them, "You, how did you see through me?"

A sneer rose from the corner of Shen Mu's mouth and said: "Hmph, this place is deserted, how can anyone come here to seek a living, not to mention a woman who dares to open a shop in a place where toad spirits haunt, isn't she looking for death?"

Toad Jing didn't expect so much, she just pretended to be the proprietress of the restaurant, let the guests drink poisonous wine, and then ate it to increase her cultivation, "You, you are really thoughtful, but you are all going to die!"
