Mortal bone

"What a monster wolf..."

Standing on the roof and looking towards Yanglu Mountain, Xu Taiping found a huge monster wolf running fast in the forest.

At first, he wasn't too surprised. After all, the entry-level Jade Slip had already said that in this mountain, except for the residence designated by the sect, there is a possibility of monsters appearing anywhere else.

But gradually, he began to feel something was wrong.

Because soon he saw the second and third monster wolf, and they were all chasing down the mountain.

"Help, help!"

"Is there someone to help me!"

Just when Xu Taiping was wondering what the three wolves were chasing after, a woman's cry for help suddenly sounded in the mountains.

After hearing the sound, Xu Taiping's earlobe trembled, and then he circulated his true energy to his eyes, and fixedly looked in the direction where the sound came from.

This is exactly the method of increasing eyesight taught in the martial art "Crossing Yang Shi".

As this spell was cast, the scene in the sheep and deer mountain one or two miles away suddenly became clear in Xu Taiping's eyes, and soon he found a frail woman running wildly in the forest, Dodging the pursuit of the three demon wolves.

"Where did this sister come from? I don't remember that there are monks near Qingzhu Residence?"

Xu Taiping was very confused.

"Who will come, who will save me!"

At this moment, the woman galloped out from the forest, and started rushing towards Qingzhuju along the path leading out of the mountain.

And the three demon wolves were still galloping after the woman, and they were about to catch up with her.

"Is anyone there? Is there anyone in the front yard? I'm hurt, help, help me!"

The woman ran and shouted while covering her bleeding shoulder, she must have noticed Qingzhuju.

"Forget it, don't think about it so much, it's important to save people first."

Xu Taiping shook his head, then took off the bow and arrow from his back, began to nock the arrow and draw the string, and used the luck method of "Crossing the Yang Arrow", to gather the residual qi in the dantian from his arm to the arrow.

In an instant, the arrow was covered with a layer of ice.

"Boom!"

When the nearest wolf behind the woman was only 500 meters away from Qingzhuju, Xu Taiping let go of the bow string stretched like a full moon together with the arrow.

"Whoosh!"

Accompanied by the sharp piercing sound, the arrow wrapped in Canxia's true energy hit the wolf's head straight, and then pierced it with a sword.

After mastering how to use Canxia True Qi, the power of Xu Taiping's arrows has far surpassed that of last time.

"Ow..."

The demon wolf screamed and fell to the ground.

After seeing this scene, the other two demon wolves in the rear were so frightened that they fled back to the forest, not daring to continue chasing them.

The woman was obviously taken aback at first, but when she saw the two wolves running away and noticed Xu Taiping standing on the roof, she burst into tears of joy.

"Thank you young hero for saving your life."

The woman almost sprinted to the small courtyard of Qingzhuju.

Judging by the nervous look on her face when she looked back from time to time, she seemed to still have lingering fears about those monster wolves.

"The two demon wolves have already run away, you don't have to worry."

Xu Taiping who was standing on the roof turned his head to look at the woman at the door.

This woman is fifteen or sixteen years old, petite, with a beautiful appearance, very much like those wealthy daughters in Xu Taiping's hometown.

"Well, fortunately there is a young hero here, otherwise the little girl would become the prey of those two monster wolves."

The girl first patted her chest with fear, then asked Xu Taiping gratefully:

"May I ask what the young hero's name is?"

"My surname is Xu, and my name is Taiping. Sister, you can call me Taiping."

Xu Taiping replied.

He was still standing on the roof at this time, still holding a bow and arrow in his hand, looking at the woman with obvious vigilance.

"Little Hero of Taiping, the little girl is Liu Qingmei, a registered disciple of Qingxuanzong's outer sect. A few days ago, she got lost when she came to collect medicine in the nearby mountains on that spirit bird. At that time, he had no choice but to flee all the way, and was finally chased here."

While speaking, the girl took out a bronze mirror from her bosom.

Seeing this bronze mirror, the vigilance on Xu Taiping's face immediately eased a lot.

Only the disciples of the outer sect possessed this mysterious mirror, and if a woman can take out this object, it can be regarded as a proof of her identity.

"Dare to ask the little young man of Taiping, can you let Qingmei stay here for a night, the sun has already set today, Qingmei is injured again, it is extremely inconvenient to travel at night."

The woman asked Xu Taiping for advice.

"Okay... eh?"

Xu Taiping was just about to agree, after all he could confirm the other party's identity, but before he finished speaking, his eyes accidentally swept over the woman's shoes.

This woman was wearing a pair of embroidered shoes with a thousand-ply sole. On the surface, they looked like a pair of very ordinary cloth shoes, but Xu Taiping felt something was wrong after combining what she had said earlier——

These shoes are too clean.

"Let's not talk about whether it's appropriate to wear this kind of cloth shoes when collecting herbs, but the fact that she was chased by the monster wolf for a day, but the cloth shoes on her feet are still intact, is enough to prove that she is lying."

Xu Taiping secretly said in his heart.

"Sister Qingmei, Taiping's house is simple, you may not be used to it."

Xu Taiping jumped up to the top of the courtyard gate, then said calmly.

"Little Shaoxia is joking, I have fallen into such a field as Qingmei, how can I pick and choose, besides, when I was outside the mountain, although my family was relatively rich when I was young, but when I was ten years old, my family was already in ruins. After coming to Yunlu Mountain, I got used to this hard life, I just need a place to stay, why would I pick and choose?"

Liu Qingmei said with a bitter smile.

The woman in front of her spoke sincerely, if Xu Taiping hadn't already seen that she was lying, maybe she would really feel sympathy for her.
