Investing in the Rebirth of the Empress, She Called Me Husband

The winter rain was drizzling.

On the barren mountain, the sound of raindrops hitting leaves was endless, and the cold seemed to penetrate into the bone marrow with the air.

In the cold and quiet temple, a group of merchants rushed in, complaining while shaking off the rain and checking the goods.

"We may be delayed in the mountains tonight. This path on the mountain is close, but who knows what the weather is like."

"Hey, who knows why this mountain road is so difficult to walk."

"Will we encounter monsters if we stay overnight in the mountains?"

The merchants complained while shivering.

"Don't worry, this is the temple of the mountain king. The priests of the surrounding fortresses often offer sacrifices, and it is very effective."

"With the blessing of the mountain king, I will occasionally stay here overnight. It's okay."

The middle-aged guide who led the way said confidently.

Seeing that he was so sure, the merchants relaxed and started a fire to cook.

Not long after.

There was another noise at the door, and everyone was startled. They looked up and saw two people walking in.

"Excuse me."

The young man clasped his fists to everyone.

"When you are away from home, it is inevitable to help each other."

The guide was full of smiles.

The young man looked at him thoughtfully, and then sat next to the woman in the veil.

The merchants were a little curious about the two at first, but soon they ignored them and chatted with baked cakes and wine.

"Have you heard that the witch spirits enshrined in many places have been killed."

"The witch spirits in Jiuling Village and Humao Town are gone now."

"Who is so rebellious?"

"Not a human, one of them is an evil dragon and the other is a bird monster, and they don't know how they got together."

"Ah?"

The young man was a little stunned.

He was called the peerless dragon in the monster tribe.

He killed monsters and demons along the way, and his reputation seemed a little different from what he imagined.

The merchants looked at him. The fire was burning brighter now. They could see the handsome face of the young man, with gentle eyebrows and a bright smile. He might be what people outside the southern border call a modest gentleman.

The woman next to him was wearing a dark cloud gauze hat. Her face could not be seen clearly, but she gave people a feeling of being kept away from her.

"What bad things did they do?"

asked the evil dragon Xiao Li.

"They killed the witch spirit, but they don't accept people's worship. Who will people believe in in the future?" A merchant said as a matter of course.

Li Mo: "..."

He couldn't help but think of it.

He and Ying Bing killed a fathead fish disaster beast together. The fathead fish deliberately stirred up waves in the river and overturned the boat.

Only after accepting the worship would it calm down a little.

It just did less evil, and it could enjoy incense and sacrifices in the temple openly.

A small sacrifice a month, a big sacrifice a year.

Small ones are cattle and sheep, big ones are boys and girls.

"If you don't believe in witch spirits, then you don't need to pay tribute."

"How can that be possible?"

A merchant looked at Li Mo as if he were a strange creature, and said angrily:

"It has always been like this."

"Yes, some cattle and sheep, two children, can be exchanged for everyone's safety, this is a good deal."

"For example, this mountain lion, with the protection of the mountain lion, the wild beasts outside dare not come in, and we can sit here and talk."

"What if the one being offered up... is you?"

Li Mo suddenly said quietly.

At some point, the woman in the bamboo hat beside him disappeared.

The bonfire shook violently, and a gust of cold wind poured into the mountain lion temple, making the air even colder.

It seemed that something was reviving.....

Everyone was horrified and was about to run out, but they just ran to the door.

Bang——

A huge black shadow fell to the ground.

It was a purple-green tiger head, ferocious and huge, and it could swallow an adult with its mouth open, which was extremely terrifying.

It was dead at this time, but its blood was frozen, and only the fishy wind could be smelled.

The rain stopped at some point.

The moonlight was falling.

In front of the headless tiger corpse, the girl in the moonlight slowly sheathed her sword, and the jade wings behind her slowly dissipated.

The night wind lifted her black veil, accidentally revealing a corner of her stunning face.

"This tiger is quite powerful."

Li Mo kicked the huge tiger head out of the door with one foot, and chuckled:

"It's much better than that fathead fish and that crow."

The merchants didn't dare to say a word for a long time.

The protagonist they were talking about just now was sitting next to them from the beginning.

"Tiger!"

Suddenly, the guide screamed and fell straight to the ground.

So many merchants fled in all directions, wishing their parents had given them two less legs.

"You haven't got your goods yet?"

Li Mo shouted from behind.

But these words were like a death warrant from a monster, making the merchants run even faster.

"Alas."

Little Li shook his head and kickedThe tiger's lackey who had been dead for a long time was also kicked out.

Perhaps it was because of Shang Qinqing.

They had not encountered any powerful disaster beasts along the way, mostly the so-called "witch spirits" along the way.

But now they have only walked less than one-third of the way.

Who knows what will happen later.

After adding a few firewood to the bonfire, the temple became quiet.

"Li Mo."

Ying Bing took off her bamboo hat and put it into the big-headed doll.

When she called out the two words, the girl's tone made it impossible to imagine the sword energy she had just used to kill the mountain king.

"Here it comes."

Li Mo sat next to her and naturally took 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 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."

"Yeah."

Li Mo frowned.

It is well known that it takes two hands to unscrew the gourd.

But he only has two hands, one of which is 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 with a very heroic action.

"You said that if both hands are held, will the effect of dual cultivation be better?" Li Mo asked after infusing the Yuepo 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: "!"

Has Bingtuozi 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 of "Phoenix Ming Tianze"."

"But I have to keep watch, you have to practice it yourself."

Ying Bing's eyes were filled with a little smile, and her index finger gently touched his forehead and stood up.

"Oh."

Student Li scratched his palms and felt empty.

At this moment, Student Li's desire for the Somersault Cloud reached its peak.

Even if a somersault is not a long distance, it can always return to Nanguan City, right?

Now the two of them have to take turns to guard the night, and they can't practice together.

Currently, 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...
