Mortal Mirror
#45 - Chapter 45: Slim Chance, Sword Light Like Frost
Li Ergou left the martial arts hall and saw Stone practicing martial arts. After a moment of thought, he figured calling him wouldn't be of much use, just adding another person to worry about. So, he didn't greet him but left the martial arts hall directly. After thinking for a while, he quickly headed towards the place where Big White Elephant lived.
Now, he could only seek help from two people outside: Big White Elephant and Lu Changsheng.
To his disappointment, Big White Elephant wasn't home and he didn't know where he had gone.
This made him worried. He only knew that Lu Changsheng was at the academy, but at this time, Lu Changsheng had also gone home. What to do? He was anxious.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up. Why not go directly to Li Zheng'an?
He had been in this town for many years and was also a powerful cultivator. He would definitely know if there were any three-legged golden toads nearby.
Thinking of this, he went to the academy without any hesitation.
The night was dark. At this moment, in a remote part of the town, a hunchbacked old man leaped up onto the roof beam. This person was none other than Zhao the Hunchback.
If this scene were seen, it would definitely shock people, because this person's body was disabled, how could he be so agile? Unless, he was a cultivator.
Seeing that there was no one around, he took off the bamboo basket behind him and placed it on the roof. He lowered his head and said something to the bamboo basket, then suddenly lifted the black cloth on top of the bamboo basket.
A black shadow shot out of the bamboo basket. Its speed was so fast, like a phantom, jumping from one house to another, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Zhao the Hunchback watched the black shadow go away, muttering to himself, "The celestial dog eating the moon, which happens once every three hundred years, is a once-in-three-hundred-year opportunity. I, Zhao the Hunchback, must seize it. But where is the true body of the legendary celestial dog?
ChangSheng Well? Hmph, that's just a cover, to deceive those villagers, but it can't deceive me, Zhao the Hunchback."
At this moment, he stroked his beard lightly, his eyes revealing a profound light.
"Baa... Baa..." The black-bearded mountain goat cried out and walked away on its own, blending into the darkness, no one knew where it went. Everything about Zhao the Hunchback was strange, making him impossible to see through.
In the Liu family compound, Liu Teng looked depressed. He had been infatuated with the red-clothed Zhu Zhu for the past few days, his mind muddled. But that woman hadn't stepped out of her house these days, and he couldn't even be a simp if he wanted to. Frustrated, he wanted to find some fun somewhere.
It just so happened that Niu Dali came today. Hearing that he was depressed, he wanted to take him to boxing, and told him that the HaoTian Martial Arts Hall had a very durable guy, guaranteeing that he would have a good time punching him.
Since he was bored anyway, Liu Teng agreed, and the two of them, along with a few younger brothers, went to the martial arts hall.
Just as Liu Teng left, a soft crack sound came from the room where the red-clothed woman Zhu Zhu was. Then, the window of her room was opened from the inside.
In a blink of an eye, a figure in red flew out. This person was none other than Zhu Zhu.
At this moment, the woman's beautiful eyes flashed, and she said to herself, "Uncle Qian is not here today, and that annoying kid has also left. I am finally free, hehe, I was bored to death. I am controlled by my father at home, and I am controlled by Uncle Qian when I come out. It's a pity that I don't have a trace of freedom.
I might as well go swimming in the river. It's been a long, long time since I've been swimming. Finally, I don't have to be controlled by anyone. That's great. I'd better hurry up, and when Uncle Qian comes back, I will become a proper lady again."
With this thought, she flew away with a swoosh.
At the academy, Li Ergou mustered up his courage and knocked on the door.
"Creak," the door opened, and Li Zheng'an stood in front of him. At this moment, he looked surprised, then asked suspiciously, "What's the matter so late?
Li Ergou nodded. He had already thought about what to say on the way. All lies are inferior to telling the truth. After all, for a smart teacher like Li Zheng'an, all lies are unnecessary.
So, he didn't hesitate and said, "Mr. Li, Granny Wu is injured and her life is in danger. She needs a three-legged golden toad to save her. I want to ask, where can I find a three-legged golden toad?
Li Zheng'an was stunned. This question stumped him. After hesitating for a long time, he said, "This, I really haven't seen this thing. I haven't heard anyone say they've seen it in this place for many years.
Three-legged golden toads are very rare. They are things that can transform into demons. This thing is highly poisonous. Even if you find it, you won't be able to catch it at all. So, I advise you to go back."
Li Ergou opened his mouth wide and stood there, stunned. Was there no hope? he thought in his heart.
Perhaps seeing Li Ergou's desperate expression, Li Zheng'an's heart softened, and he couldn't help but comfort him, "If it really doesn't work, go to the Jinshui River to look for it. The Jin River is where three rivers converge, and there are many strange things, but the chance is still slim."
Li Ergou's eyes lit up again. His eyes were firm and he said, "The chance is slim, but there is still a chance, isn't there? Thank you, Mr. Li, I'll go now."
Li Zheng'an immediately said anxiously, "Hey... be careful."
Li Ergou waved his hand in the air, but his voice faded away, "I know, Mr. Li, sorry to bother you, I will be careful."
Li Zheng'an couldn't help shaking his head helplessly, "This child, he dares to risk his life for others. His heart is so kind, but it's a pity that his foundation is too weak and too poor, otherwise he would definitely be able to become a disciple of our Confucian school.
Even if I accept him as a disciple, if no miracle occurs, I am afraid that he will never be able to cultivate martial arts true qi in his life. Restricting him like this is not helping him, but harming him.
Forget it, let's wait for a miracle."
Li Zheng'an shook his head helplessly and slowly closed the door. Without the light, darkness enveloped the academy once again.
Li Ergou ran quickly, because time was too tight. Fortunately, he was physically fit enough, and it only took him less than a quarter of an hour to get from the town to the Jin River.
At this moment, it was between spring and summer, and the sound of frogs by the river was endless, which made him a little confused.
It was dark, how could he find it? Fortunately, there was still a half moon in the sky, which could barely be seen. He thought in his heart that the three-legged golden toad should be golden, and it should not be difficult to find under the reflection of the moonlight.
With this thought, he searched along the river, little by little. As long as there was the sound of frogs, he would immediately look over.
He was not afraid of hardship, but he was afraid that he would not be able to save Granny Wu. The feeling of powerlessness was really uncomfortable.
After walking along the river for a while, he suddenly heard a rustling sound in front of him, which made him hesitate. It was dark and windy, could there be big fish in the river? Listening to the sound of the water, the fish seemed to be quite big.
He also heard that there were big turtles in the Jin River that would come out at night to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and cultivate into demons. Would he encounter such a monster?
Although he was afraid, he was willing to risk everything to find the three-legged golden toad.
He pulled aside the weeds in front of him and saw a woman standing in front of him with her upper body naked. Under the faint moonlight, the woman's body was so white.
He heard people say that once demons like turtles became refined, they would turn into human form, and they would also harm people.
At this moment, he and the woman looked at each other. Although he felt that the woman was quite good-looking, he thought she was a monster.
Li Ergou's eyes were filled with horror, and he immediately retreated, tripping over the weeds in a panic and falling into the water, shouting loudly, "Ah, Queen Turtle Demon!
Hearing his words, the woman reacted and screamed in surprise, "Damn it, it's you, pervert, I'm going to dig out your eyes and cut you into pieces!
It turned out that this woman was none other than the red-clothed woman Zhu Zhu who had come to the river secretly.
The affairs of the world are really full of coincidences. Who would have thought that things would be so coincidental, one to catch frogs to save people, and the other to come to take a bath for freedom. Right and wrong, right and wrong, cannot be judged.
Zhu Zhu jumped ashore, reached out and sucked a red dress from the shore, turned around and put the clothes on. She hated in her heart, "Stinky boy, you've seen me, and you're not done, and you even scold me as Queen Turtle. When have I, Zhu Zhu, suffered such humiliation?
I knew you were not a good thing when I saw your sneaky eyes. Pervert, die."
Zhu Zhu's eyes flashed fiercely, and she suddenly moved like the wind, holding a sharp sword, and chased after Li Ergou.
When he saw that touch of red, he realized that this woman was not a Queen Turtle, but the red-clothed woman he saw in the restaurant. This time it was terrible, he couldn't wash himself clean even if he jumped into the Yellow River.
He kept thinking in his heart, how could he explain to her so that she would believe him?
Before he could think too much, he saw the red-clothed woman moving so fast that she was less than ten steps away from him in the blink of an eye.
He heard the sound of the sword cutting through the air behind him, and he couldn't help but sweat coldly. Although he was resistant to beatings, that was also the power of fists and feet. His skin was thick and his bones were hard, so he was not afraid of being cut open, at most he would injure his muscles and bones, so he would stand up again and again.
But if he was cut in two directly, even if his vitality was strong, he would definitely die. Even if he couldn't be killed, he couldn't bear to be cut with wounds all over his body. Thinking about that scene, he couldn't help but feel chills.
After all, he had not yet cultivated to the point of being invulnerable to swords and spears. Seeing that this woman's footsteps were as fast as the wind, it could be seen that she was not an ordinary mortal. Even if she was not a divine cultivator, she was probably a master of martial arts. This time, he was probably really going to die without a burial place. He was so bitter in his heart.
"Pervert, don't go, you can't escape, I must kill you, and gouge out your eyes to relieve the hatred in this girl's heart."
Hearing the shouts behind him, he sweated even more coldly, "Girl, I'm not lying to you, I really didn't see anything. You may not believe it, but I actually came out to catch frogs, I really didn't mean to look at you.
I thought you were a Queen Turtle Demon at the time, I..."
"Catching frogs, Queen Turtle, and you haven't seen anything yet, what else do you want to see, you... you are simply damn, I believe you, you pervert, die."
Excited, and angry, Zhu Zhu threw the sword directly at Li Ergou's back, and heard the sword buzzing. Li Ergou's heart jumped wildly, thinking that his life was over.
Who knew that a stone suddenly appeared in front of him, and he tripped on it by chance, and fell to the ground like a dog eating shit. The sword flashed past his body, and disappeared.
Li Ergou narrowly escaped with his life, rolled and crawled on the ground, regardless of east, west, north, and south, anyway, he ran wildly.
Zhu Zhu delayed a little time in order to pick up the sword, and then chased after him madly again, and became more and more angry in her heart.
In this way, one chasing and one running, in a panic, Li Ergou didn't even know where he had run. The surroundings became more and more dark, and the grass and trees began to become sparse. In a blink of an eye, he realized that in a panic, he had unknowingly run to the top of a small mountain.
At this moment, behind him were cliffs, and in front of him was a red-clothed woman holding a sword. He had nowhere to retreat, and felt that he was bound to die.
He was sad in his heart, thinking that Li Ergou was really going to die so aggrieved? Wasn't it just a glance at you, and no one would die? Besides, God can see, I really didn't do it on purpose, I really came to catch frogs, but this woman didn't believe him at all, could it be that he would lie?
He tried to persuade the woman again, "I'm not lying to you, I really went to catch frogs..."
"Shut up!"
"Catching frogs, catching frogs, I believe you, you pervert, today I, Zhu Zhu, must cut you into pieces, and before that, I will gouge out your eyes."
"Zhu Zhu!" Li Ergou felt that this girl was very good-looking, and didn't know why she took this name. Did her parents have no culture, and it was not much stronger than his Ergou.
He shook his head, shook off this strange idea, and kept waving his hands at Zhu Zhu, saying, "Zhu Zhu, calm down, listen to my explanation, I swear, I really really..."
"Shut up, shut up, shut up, you looked at my body, you can only die to apologize, die."
Zhu Zhu didn't want to talk to Li Ergou any more, and slashed at him with her sword, the sword light was like frost, and it looked even colder under the moonlight.
Li Ergou watched the sword light fall, thinking that he was dying aggrieved, but what could he do? He retreated, retreated, retreated, and was about to retreat to the edge of the cliff, when he thought that there was a big pit here, and he only felt his feet empty, and fell down.
"My life is over, he shouted!"
How could Zhu Zhu have thought that just as his sword was about to fall on Li Ergou's head, he suddenly fell into a big pit, and she couldn't stop her body, and couldn't borrow strength in mid-air, and fell down with Li Ergou.
The only difference was that the two fell one after the other.
"Pervert, I didn't want you to die, but you want to harm me..." Zhu Zhu only had time to say a word before falling into the darkness.
Things came too fast, and she didn't react. When she reacted and wanted to climb up the wall of the pit, she realized that the wall of the pit was as smooth as a mirror and as hard as iron, and there was no place to borrow strength.
She secretly said that it was terrible, and hated Li Ergou even more, but it was too late.
Bang, bang!
Two loud noises rang out one after another, and two big living people fell to the bottom of the cave one after another.
