Fairy cage

The figure floating in the river was clearly She Shuangbai.

Yu Lie helped the other party up, said a few words, and placed him on the bluestone next to him.

The opponent was leaning against the bluestone, his strength had not recovered, and he was still panting tremblingly. Seeing this, Yu Lie took out a strong blood pill from the belly of the blood clam and handed it to the other party.

In this situation, I don’t know whether She Shuangbai still has a trump card or whether the other party already trusts Yu Lie and does not doubt his presence. He took the pill and said:

"Thank you."

Then the person took the pill into his mouth, his throat was smooth, and he swallowed the fluid that dissolved into the pill one after another, and sent it into his belly to nourish his body and restore his strength.

Beside the bluestone, Yu Lie looked at the other person's thin figure and fair neck, his eyes flashing:

"This person doesn't seem to be tall, but his physique is amazing, and his body is as heavy as a piece of iron. Could it be that the path he cultivates is physical, such as dragon veins?"

In addition, Yu Lie stared at the other person's facial features, and one thing was almost clear in his mind.

It is said that She Shuangbai has been wearing a mask in the hall for many years. When talking to people, she uses an indistinguishable voice and behaves strangely.

Others may not be too suspicious of the other party, but as Yu Lie was a former subordinate of the other party and had many contacts with him, and discovered that this person particularly liked washing, they secretly suspected that this person was a woman disguised as a man.

Now that the other party followed Yu Lie and escaped, the mask on his face was washed away, revealing his true face, which finally allowed Yu Lie to judge the gender of this person.

He looked at the other person and thought to himself: "This person's Adam's apple is not very obvious, you can't see it at all, and his facial features are too delicate. There is no doubt that he is a woman!"

The two of them have been in Blackwater Town for nearly three years. They are both seventeen or eighteen years old. They are not young. If they are men, they cannot have masculine characteristics on their bodies.

However, even though he knew that the other party was a woman disguised as a man, Yu Lie had no intention of exposing the other party.

Although there are men and women in monasticism, the influence of gender is not as great as that of ordinary people. It does not matter whether the other person is a man or a woman. Moreover, She Shuangbai's background was unknown. Since this person liked to dress up as a man, he just let him go.

Yu Lie was worried that if he revealed the truth, he might touch the other party's secret and bring disaster to himself.

Looking at this woman's figure, Yu Lie's eyes swept over somewhere inadvertently.

He shook his head slightly, suppressed the many reveries in his heart, took out a suit of fine clothes from the bloody toad's belly, and washed and dressed himself in the water of the Black River.

At the same time, because of his previous transformation into the Black Snake Fish King, Yu Lie swam more than a thousand miles in one breath. His energy and blood were also consumed a lot, so he also took out a blood-strengthening pill and swallowed it. Take it down and take care of yourself.

For a moment, the two of them looked at each other in silence on this river beach.

After about a hundred breaths passed, She Shuangbai, who was leaning on the bluestone to recover, opened her eyes first. There was already a little more blood on her pale face, obviously she had recovered from the exhaustion.

As soon as she opened her eyes, She Shuangbai activated her energy and blood, reached into her sleeve pocket, took out a pill, and put it in her mouth.

This pill was obviously not a vulgar thing. As soon as she put it in her mouth, she didn't even need to adjust her breath. She just leaned on the bluestone and slowly waited for the medicine to dissipate.

At this time, She Shuangbai looked at Yu Lie next to her.

What caught her eyes was a young man who looked like an ordinary hunter. His clothes were rough and he looked rustic. He didn't look like a monk at all.

Looking at Yu Lie dressed up like this, She Shuangbai thought to himself: "This guy is really smart. He even specially prepared this set of clothes in his luggage to hide his eyes from others. When he saw him, it was easy for people to think that he was just a common man in the village. .”

She Shuangbai's eyes moved all over Yu Lie's body.

I don't know if it was because the elixir she took in her mouth melted, or something else happened. As she looked at it, her pale face suddenly flushed a little, and most of her blood color returned to normal, and she became more alive.

At this moment, Yu Lie had recovered most of his strength. He sensed that someone was peeping at him and immediately ended his breath adjustment.

As soon as Yu Lie opened his eyes, he met She Shuangbai's scrutinizing gaze. He didn't pay much attention to him, but looked around to see if any ferocious beasts had been attracted by them.

Although the river beach here was specially selected by him and seemed relatively peaceful, the entire Heihe River Basin was now in chaos. There was no guarantee that a vicious beast would not have spotted the two of them when they came ashore and was lurking towards them.

"Hall Master She can now move around?"

Yu Lie looked around and asked aloud, and then said quickly:

"You and I have now left the confines of the three towns of Heihe and stepped into the wild. The wild is already rampant with ferocious beasts, and there are even spirits. In addition, with the arrival of the creatures from the secret realm of the Horrible Lizard, the danger is not small. Pindao suggests that you and I It’s best to find a nearby cave as a hiding place to hide your breath and take some rest.”

She Shuangbai nodded when he heard the words, and said in a deep voice: "It's exactly what fellow Taoist Yu said. But according to Pindao's opinion, it is best to hide as far away from the river as possible. The further away, the better."

She didn't explain much, but Yu Lie heard it, was slightly startled, and then came to his senses.

Although the two of them successfully escaped from the Blackwater Cliff by relying on the Blackwater River, they did not encounter any danger on the way.

But this is also because the ferocious beasts and spirits are competing for sixth-grade flesh and blood, and there is blood flowing down the river during the day. When the viewer is promoted, the ferocious beasts and spirits within a thousand miles are rushing to Blackwater Cliff, and only Blackwater The most dangerous area is near the cliff.

When the fighting at the Blackwater Cliff stops, a large number of ferocious beasts and spirits will return to their respective territories, and the flesh and blood of the ferocious beasts from the fighting will flow down the river, leaving corpses all over the river.

At that time, the ferocious beasts and spirits on both sides of the river will also be attracted by the bloody smell and come to the Black River to look for food and fight.

In addition, those ghosts and gods may also search for their traces along the Black River.

In short, the riverside would be a dangerous and troublesome place for the two of them. They had to leave quickly and go deep into the mountains and wilderness to be safe.

Yu Lie nodded: "It's exactly what Hall Master She said."

After saying that, he cupped his hands towards the other party, stretched out his hand and took out the Armor and Horse Talisman.

She Shuangbai returned the favor, quickly took out the running charm, and said:

"Brother Yu, why do you need to talk about the same hall master again? Not to mention that you and I are of the same realm, and we are not in Blackwater Town anymore. Now we are running away together, sharing weal and woe... Just call me Taoist friend."

Yu Lie's mind was still mostly focused on the surroundings and he was vigilant. He listened to the other party's request and casually agreed: "You're welcome, fellow Taoist."

After saying that, the two of them moved like apes and disappeared into the forest outside the river beach, flickering.

In the following days, although they had the help of talismans, they lost the blessing of the rapids of the Black River, and they were running on land, crossing mountains and ridges.

It took half a day before the two of them reached the depths of the mountains, two to three hundred miles away from the river.

The night was dark, the waning moon was disappearing from the sky, and there was still half a day before dawn.

Fortunately, Yu Lie and She Shuangbai were not ordinary people. They were able to see through the darkness with the faint starlight. Feeling in the dark, they slowed down and easily found a cave, got in, and worked together to retrieve the cave. Come to a rock next to the cave to cover the entrance.

This cave has a small entrance and a large belly. After the two of them entered it, they found it to be quite spacious and not smelly.

Both of them are outstanding Taoists in Blackwater Town, and are no strangers to survival in the wild. Now that they have a hiding place and a place to stay, they each start to get busy.

Yu Lie entered the cave, carefully inspected and arranged it, then picked up stones, arranged a fire pit, and raised a bonfire.

The flames crackled.

He sat cross-legged next to the fire. After smelling the smell of burning dead wood and feeling the heat of the campfire, he felt completely relieved and relaxed.

Next to her, She Shuangbai, after following Yu Lie into the cave, started taking medicine to adjust her breath again. It is not known whether the strength she had recovered was used up, or whether she never recovered.

After her complexion returned to normal and she completely recovered, She Shuangbai opened her eyes.

The woman looked at the red fire pond in the cave, with a rare warmth in her eyes.

The other party looked at Yu Lie who was meditating next to the bonfire and took a nap. He stood up on his own initiative, bowed to Yu Lie and saluted:

"I owe my escape this time to my Taoist friend's secret technique. I hope that my Taoist friend will forgive me for following me without telling me."

She apologized: "It's really a drag on fellow Taoists."

By the campfire.

Hearing this, Yu Lie slowly opened his eyes. He looked at the serious She Shuangbai in front of him, smiled, and said:

"Brother She, you're welcome. You and I can escape together. But if fellow Taoists want to escape together at that time, just say hello to Pindao."

Yu Lie joked: "In this way, fellow Taoist can still ride on Pindao's body, which will make it easier for you to drive away the ferocious beasts and spirits for me, and will not make fellow Taoist so tired."

After saying these words, She Shuangbai's eyes suddenly dimmed. She looked at Yu Lie, her eyes narrowed slightly inadvertently, but in the end she just nodded.

Afterwards, She Shuangbai stood up, walked to the edge of the fire pit, and sat down cross-legged.

She pondered, and then spoke: "By the way, the method Brother Yu used in the river today, is it the painted book among the things that are the destiny of Alchemy?"

Painting skin alone can imitate other things, but the ordinary skill of painting skin cannot be as thorough as the changes in the rest of the list. It is just a fake skin, the skin is like but the flesh is not.

Therefore, Yu Lie is not afraid of showing the art of transformation in front of outsiders. What he has to be careful about now is that he cannot let people who are proficient in leather magic see his transformation, and he cannot let anyone cut him open. After seeing his transformation sinews and flesh and blood.

Yu Lie nodded calmly:

"Of course. This book is Pindao's destiny. After refining it, he happened to hunt a huge black snake fish from the Black River during the battle. It was worthy of being an eighth-grade ferocious beast, so he took it The skin was peeled off and the meat was made into leather paper, which was included in the leather book."

After hearing Yu Lie's words, She Shuangbai's eyes flickered. She looked at Yu Lie with surprise in her eyes.

She Shuangbai really didn't expect that in just a year or so, the guy in front of him who was only slightly optimistic about him would not only break through to the realm of a high-level Taoist boy and participate in the ordination, but he would even refine his own destiny.

Moreover, this person was successfully refined while still in the Taoist stage!

She Shuangbai continued to recall the records about the painted skin, and her eyelids twitched slightly. She vaguely remembered that the refining method of the painted skin required peeling off the outer membrane of the Taoist body and using the membrane as the material to refine it. into artifacts.

In Blackwater Town, there is no corresponding secret medicine or trustworthy manpower.

She Shuangbai suddenly took a deep breath in her heart:

"In other words, this guy peeled off his own skin and refined it!"

Realizing this, she was shocked by Yu Lie again.

She Shuangbai even thought: "Since this kid has such talent and character, why would he come to a remote place like Heishui Town?

Could it be that he is a late bloomer, or that he came to Blackwater Town and was plotting the dragon blood and dragon veins in the Black River Secret Realm? If that's the case, why did you choose Huapi again..."

In an instant, She Shuangbai felt that the remaining columns in front of her became mysterious and could not be underestimated.

However, as a cultivator, especially a cultivator with potential, you are basically a little secretive. She just held her hands towards Yu Lie and praised:

"Fellow Taoist is worthy of being the best in the town. Now that the natal blood vessel has been refined and promoted to the eighth level, it will be as easy as picking something out of a bag."

Listening to the other party's flattering words, Yu Lie couldn't help but look at the other party a few more times and muttered to himself: "This person named She can actually flatter and please others?"

However, he was still quite satisfied in his heart, and he immediately answered with a smile:

"Fellow Taoist, you are so complimentary, so complimentary."

The person carrying the sedan chair carried the person, and the relationship between the two of them quickly became harmonious.

After chatting for a while, Yu Lie suddenly spoke up and asked his previous doubt:

"Did Brother She also refine his destiny in advance and choose a path... but a dragon vein?"

She Shuangbai suddenly heard Yu Lie say these words and was slightly startled.

She looked at Yu Lie and asked with a smile:

"Why did fellow Taoist guess so accurately?"

The woman nodded: "Yes, what Pindao cultivated was the dragon vein. Now the dragon blood can be regarded as entering the body and forging his own bloodline."

Yu Lie made a look of surprise and admiration, raised his hands and said:

"It seems that Taoist friends are probably one step ahead of Pindao and have entered the realm of eighth-grade Taoist disciples."

She Shuangbai seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and said, "Why do fellow Taoists say this?"

Yu Lie paused, then he took out a scent-binding charm from his sleeve, put it in the fire and burned it, revealing a spiritual light that enveloped the cave.

Immediately, Yu Lie patted the bloody clam's belly again and took out a lump of flesh and blood that was half a person's height.

The rich smell of blood immediately filled the mouths and noses of the two people. It was quite fishy, ​​but it also directly stimulated the eyes of the two people to shine, with a look of hunger and thirst in their eyes.

This flesh and blood is exactly the flesh and blood of the sixth-grade dinosaur lizard, and its texture is extraordinary!

But what surprised the two of them was:

"Why is this lump of meat in the shape of a column? It looks a bit weird. I don't know which of the big tendons on the sixth-grade dinosaur lizard is..."
