The figure floating in the river was clearly She Shuangbai.
Yu Lie helped the other person up, said a few words, and placed him on the bluestone next to him.
The opponent was leaning on the bluestone, but his strength had not recovered, and he was still panting tremblingly. Seeing this, Yu Lie took out a blood-strengthening pill from the belly of the blood clam and handed it to the opponent.
At this time, I don’t know whether She Shuangbai still has a trump card or the other party already trusts Yu Lie, so he didn’t doubt his presence, took the pills, 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 wore a mask in the hall for many years. When talking to people, she used an indistinguishable voice and behaved 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 was particularly fond of 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 this person's gender.
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 the past three years. They are both seventeen or eighteen years old. They are not young. If they are men, they cannot have masculine characteristics in 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's thoughts.
Although people in monasticism are divided into men and women, the influence of gender is not as great as that of ordinary people. It does not matter whether the other party is a boy or a girl. Moreover, She Shuangbai's background is unknown. Since this person likes women to dress up as men, he will let the other party do it.
went.
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 belly of the blood clam, and washed and dressed himself while enjoying the water in 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, on this river beach, the two of them looked at each other in silence.
After about a hundred breaths passed, She Shuangbai, who was leaning on the bluestone to recover, opened her eyes first. There was 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 potion to dissipate.
At this time, She Shuangbai looked at Yu Lie next to her.
What caught her eyes was a young boy who looked like an ordinary hunter. His clothes were rough and he looked rustic. He didn't look like a monastic at all.
Looking at Yu Lie dressed up like this, She Shuangbai thought to herself: "This guy is really smart. He even specially prepared this set of clothes in his luggage, which can be used to hide his eyes from others. As soon as he saw him, it was easy for people to think that he was just a mortal in the village.
.”
She Shuangbai's eyes moved all over Yu Lie's body.
I don't know if it was the elixir she took in her mouth that melted, or something else, but as she looked at it, her pale face suddenly flushed a little, and most of her blood color immediately returned, making her look 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 in chaos now. 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 walk around now?"
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, the creatures from the secret realm of the Horrible Lizard have come, and the danger is not small. Pindao suggests that you and I
It’s best to find a nearby cave first 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 area near the cliff is the most dangerous.
When the fighting at the Black Water 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 scattered all over the river.
When the time comes, 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 this, 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 men 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 into it, and worked together to get it.
Come to a rock next to the cave to cover the entrance of the cave.
The entrance of this cave is small and the belly is big. After the two people entered it, they found it was quite spacious and there was no smell.
Both of them are outstanding Taoists in Blackwater Town, and are no strangers to survival in the wild. Now that they have found a hiding place and a place to stay, they each started to get busy.
Yu Lie entered the cave, carefully inspected and arranged it, then picked up stones, arranged a fire pit, and lit a bonfire.
The flames crackle.
He sat cross-legged next to the fire. After smelling the smell of burning dead wood and feeling the heat of the bonfire, 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.
This 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 and taking a nap by the bonfire, stood up on his own initiative, bowed to Yu Lie, and saluted:
"I owe my escape this time to my fellow Taoist's secret technique. I hope that my fellow Taoist can 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 too polite. You and I are working together to escape. But if fellow Taoists want to escape together at that time, just call out to the poor Taoist."
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 this, 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 a painted-cover book among the things that are destined to be 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 off 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 tricks 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 the treasure of Pindao. After it was refined, he happened to hunt a huge black snake fish from the Heihe River during the battle.
The skin was peeled off and the flesh 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 skin as a 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-maturing person, or that he came to Blackwater Town and was plotting the dragon blood and dragon veins in the Black River Secret Realm? In this case, why did he choose Painted Skin again..."
In an instant, She Shuangbai felt that the remaining columns in front of her were mysterious and could not be underestimated.
However, as a cultivator, especially a cultivator with potential, it is basically a bit secret. She just handed over to 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 be fawning 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. You are so complimentary."
The person carrying the sedan chair carried the person, and the two of them said something to each other, and the relationship 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:
"How come fellow Taoist guesses are so accurate?"
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 took out a scent-binding charm from his sleeve, put it into the fire and burned it, revealing a spiritual light that enveloped the cave.
Immediately, Yu Lie patted the bloody toad's belly again and took out lumps of flesh and blood that were 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 two people's eyes 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..."
