Chapter 12 Tiger Trouble

At this time, everyone at the table focused on Xu Xian. Even Governor Pan couldn't help but say a word of admiration for Xu Xian's literary talent. Xu Xian put down the wine bottle, stood up, thought about it, and then smiled: "The whole poem is

No, there are only one or two lines of poem left for the teacher to comment on."

Wang Wenhui smiled and said, "Why don't you tell me and I might be able to complete it for you."

Xu Xian picked up a glass of wine, bowed and toasted: "Don't worry about the road ahead without friends, and no one in the world knows you!" The first sentence of this poem seems to answer Governor Pan's worries. The latter sentence is like a tribute to the teacher's reputation.

Praise is like a vision of the future. In short, it is a huge flattery. Of course, this kind of flattery can only be photographed by a time traveler like Xu Xian.

Wang Wenhui shook his head and muttered a little, couldn't help laughing, took the wine from Xu Xian and drank it in one gulp. He became more and more satisfied with this student!

It was a rainy night, and Xu Xian walked home holding an umbrella. Before leaving, the teacher's warnings were still echoing in his ears. The newly appointed academic administrator was from the Liang Wang faction. Although he was a small figure who could not stand on the stage, he had

At that time, the little people had no scruples in order to climb up the ladder. Moreover, they were in charge of academic affairs and advised Xu Xian to weigh the pros and cons and endure everything.

Xu Xian only replied: "If he could tolerate it, he wouldn't be Xu Xian. If it doesn't work out, I can make a living by becoming a doctor or opening a medicine shop."

Wang Wenhui just patted him on the shoulder, as if he saw himself in the past. How could he hold back at that time? He still needs to practice as a disciple! With the Pan family here, he must not suffer any big losses. And with himself

Now, his fame is indispensable.

Xu Xian also knew that the King of Liang was powerful and had power over the government and the public. This time the Pan family and Qingliu joined forces to win back the city, and they must have changed their colors. Although the other party was a small person, he was not a big shot. Although he had not yet entered the court, he

Although he was an official, he joined the team first. This is certainly a very lucky thing, but it is also a bad thing. Life always depends on blessings and misfortunes!

The road was muddy, and we approached the door of the house. There was still a candle in the room, and I knew they were still waiting for me. This weak woman who was ups and downs in the world, this caged bird hidden in her golden house, still needed my own care. I thought like this

, Xu Xian couldn't help but smile.

I plan to go to the mountains to collect herbs tomorrow, but I have to get up early.

The mountains were silent, birds were chirping, and rain and mist were rising and falling in the mountains. Xu Xian drank a few cups of tea in the tea shop at the foot of the mountain, picked up the bamboo basket next to him, and was about to set off for the mountains.

The waiter at the tea shop quickly stopped him and said, "This little brother wants to go to the mountains?"

Xu Xian smiled and said: "That's right, I just went to the mountains to collect some herbs and take a look at the scenery in the mountains." In fact, the second item was his main purpose. He also felt bored after receiving and dropping off in the past few days.

He wanted to go out for a walk. It happened that there was a job in Qing Yu Tang to collect herbs, so he took the job. He thought the scenery of the mountains in the rain would be nice!

The waiter hurriedly said: "Brother, you don't know, there has been a big bug in the mountains recently, which has killed nearly a hundred people. Lawsuits are in the process of arresting and punishing hunters, and posters are posted at the intersections. Even the guests coming and going must go in groups."

Dare to travel, let alone go to the mountains to collect medicine?"

Xu Xian was stunned. It is not uncommon for tigers to hurt people in this era, but nearly a hundred lives are too exaggerated! However, he was a brave man and didn't care. He just waved his hand and said: "I happen to know some kung fu. Really."

If you encounter one, you can also eliminate harm for the people and become a tiger-fighting hero."

Seeing Xu Xian's frail appearance, the waiter just didn't believe him, so he tried to persuade him again. Xu Xian had already strode into the misty rain, with a calm look as if he didn't pay attention to any big insects at all. The waiter thought: maybe he really

Maybe if you learn some kung fu, I just heard that the tiger has become a spirit. If you really encounter it, you may be in trouble.

The mountain road is already rugged, let alone in the rain. Xu Xian walked alone in the mountains carrying a bamboo cage, but he walked extremely smoothly. If there were bystanders at this moment, they might be able to see that with every step he took, there were white clouds rising under his feet.

, this step of walking is really like walking on flat ground, and it really corresponds to the four words "stepping on the clouds".

Xu Xian raised his head and saw the green mountains and white clouds, which were so beautiful. Occasionally, the mountain wind brought rain and fog dancing through the mountains, which really made people feel that their dusty heart was reduced. He couldn't help but raise his head and let out a long whistle, and the whistle continued in the mountains.

The reverberation startled a few apes and birds, and there were a few more cries of birds in the whistle.

This mountain seems even more empty.

Xu Xian relied on the memory in his mind to search for various herbs. What seemed like hard work to others was easy and casual for him. Because even the herbs that grew on the cliffs, he could walk on the clouds.

.After a while, there were many green herbs in the bamboo cage.

There was no one in the empty mountain, which made him more convenient. In the end, he simply rode on the clouds and wandered in the mountains. The clouds covered the mountains, so even if there were people, he would not be seen. He usually only dared to do this at night in Hangzhou city, and during the day

This is my first time to fly. What’s more, in such a big mountain, I feel even more open-minded while flying.

Xu Xian couldn't help but think, I can be considered an immortal like this! In fact, practitioners who can enter the step of refining gods and returning to the void are also called "human immortals". However, Xingxiuhai's method is to directly enter this step and then practice slowly.

, but it made Xu Xian no longer feel like this.

Suddenly hearing the sound of people coming, Xu Xian looked down and saw two big men with guns and sticks taking shelter from the rain behind a tree. They didn't look like good people at first glance.

Xu Xian was suspicious, could this be a hunter hunting tigers in the mountains? What's the point of not going to the mountains to hunt tigers, but staying at the intersection instead?

Then some clouds came down, and I listened intently to the conversation between the two men. One of them said: "On such a rainy day, no one is passing by. The boss still wants us to guard here. It's really sick!"

Another hurriedly said: "Shh, keep your voice down, don't let anyone hear you!" But he laughed again, "Yes, in this kind of weather, the big insects won't even come out of their nests."

"What if a big insect really comes?"

"Is the guy in our brother's hands fake? No matter how strong a beast is, he is still a beast, but that little girl is really pitiful. The whole family has been eaten by big insects."

"Thanks to our brothers for comforting her!"

The two of them laughed lustfully together.

Xu Xian became angry after hearing this. These were clearly the thieves who cut the path. He originally wanted to go down and capture these two people, but then he thought about it again, so he still wanted to make sure to avoid accidentally hurting people. So he flew farther away, lowered his cloud head, and walked down the road with his feet firmly on the ground.

Walking up the slippery mountain road, we found the intersection where the two men were guarding.

Xu Xian walked straight up, and when he was about to pass the intersection, the soles of his feet suddenly vibrated, and there was a "click" sound. The huge animal trap bit Xu Xian's leg. Such force could break a person's leg bone in one blow.

.

Xu Xian couldn't help being furious. The golden light on his body flashed, and the animal trap could not bite into it. However, he just stood there calmly, watching how the two men were preparing.

The two people lazily walked out from behind the tree, one tall and thin, the other short and fat. The tall and thin one laughed first and said: "I didn't expect to catch prey in such weather." Looking at Xu Xian, there was something unspeakable in his eyes.

Joking.

The short and fat man also smiled and said: "Now that beast has eaten something again, we'd better search for anything valuable first. This clothes is good, so we'd better take it off first, don't let that beast ruin it."

The two of them regarded Xu Xian like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, and showed no sympathy at all. They just laughed and stepped forward to search Xu Xian's body. The tall and thin hunter suddenly discovered that there were no familiar screams and begging for mercy, and he couldn't help laughing.

He said, "I didn't expect him to be a tough guy." He also noticed that there was no trace of blood on Xu Xian's legs, so he felt something was wrong and stopped.

Xu Xian stamped his feet fiercely, and the iron animal trap shattered into pieces, and he rushed towards the two thieves. He had mastered the golden body, not only his defense was amazing, but he also had divine power when using the golden body.

Only then did the two thieves react. He drew out his sword and slashed at Xu Xian. Xu Xian did not dodge, but stretched out his hands to grab the two thieves. He wanted to capture them alive and find out where the thieves' lair was.

When the two thieves saw that Xu Xian was not avoiding him, they were overjoyed. This will not kill you.

But when the knife hit Xu Xian's head, it flew violently, and the tiger's mouth also split open. Xu Xian's hand held the two wrists like a golden hoop. How could the two thieves get away! They tried to fight back, but Xu Xian pulled them away.

With a flick, two more "click" and "click" sounds were heard, and the two thieves covered their legs and screamed.

It turned out that there was more than one animal trap hidden among the fallen leaves. When Xu Xian swung it hard, he couldn't control his steps and stepped on it.

Hearing the two men howling in agony, Xu Xian felt no pity in his heart. If he was just an ordinary pedestrian, wouldn't he have been poisoned by them?

Who is it? Why are you setting an ambush here?"

The short and fat one yelled at himself, but the tall and thin one said: "We are just ordinary hunters. We set up the trap to capture the tiger. I wrongly blamed us!"

Xu Xian's eyes narrowed, and he stepped on the tall and thin thief's hand. He heard a "click" and touched another animal trap. He immediately clamped his arm, and there was a sound of metal rubbing against bones.

.

Xu Xianhan said in a cold voice: "You haven't actually recruited me yet!" The two thieves just yelled and groaned incomprehensibly, but did not answer Xu Xian's question.

Xu Xian was not good at torture to extract a confession, so he had no choice but to sit on the big stone next to him and looked at the two of them coldly. If he guessed correctly, the "person" who could extract a confession would come over soon.

The roar of a tiger came in the mountain wind, as if attracted by the smell of blood here.

Xu Xian's expression remained as usual, but the expressions of the two thieves on the ground changed drastically, and they finally began to plead. Xu Xian just sat aside calmly, and said calmly: "Speak!" He did not tell them what to say, and he himself did not notice it.

The anger in his heart was raging, but the golden light in his eyes was particularly rich, but full of a sense of indifference.

Seeing that the tiger was approaching, the two thieves finally couldn't hold on anymore, and while begging Xu Xian to save them, they told the truth in a mixed manner. Xu Xian frowned when he heard it. It turned out that these two people were really hunters, but they were also bandits.

.

They specially capture people and feed them to tigers, and then they collect the belongings of the deceased and plunder the valuables without arousing suspicion. The income that a trader can bring to them is far higher than that of hunting.

The benefits are high, and there are no risks. In the end, the government still has to ask them to catch the tiger, and they have to pay additional fees, which is really a waste of money.

Only then did Xu Xian understand why so many people were killed. It turned out that it was not tigers that killed people, but people. He couldn't help frowning. If tigers eat people for survival, even if it goes against the way of humanity, it is at least consistent with the way of heaven. But these

What qualifications do people have to kill their own kind?

The sound of the wind got closer and closer, the clouds and mist in the sky began to roll, and even the trees in the forest began to move. The two thieves were pale and did not even dare to cry out.

The trees were rustling, and the originally silent mountain forest suddenly seemed to be boiling.

With a loud roar of "Ouch", a yellow shadow jumped high from the hillside and landed on the mountain road. Xu Xian opened his eyes and saw that the tiger was twice the size of an ordinary tiger. This tiger was obviously already

It has become a spirit, not an ordinary beast.

The tiger paced back and forth, with only a black dot in its red eyes, which looked particularly ferocious. It looked at the two people on the ground, but then turned to look at Xu Xian, as if it was aware of Xu Xian's difficulty. It roared, as if

Want to drive Xu Xian away.

Xu Xianyi was not afraid and sat still. Today he was going to collect medicine, so he did not bring the star-chasing sword. However, he did have a few thunder talismans and was protected by a golden body, so he was not afraid of the tiger spirit. He was not afraid of the tiger spirit.

There was also the idea of ​​​​killing the tiger to eliminate harm for the people, but when this happened today, I suddenly lost the desire to take action, and suddenly understood Yan Chixia's idea. Now I just want them to reap the consequences.

When the tiger spirit saw that Xu Xian was not moving, he did not move forward to attack. Instead, he walked up to the two thieves, opened his bloody mouth and bit the first thief, held it down with his grasp, and killed the thief with a slight tear.

.Then he tore them apart and devoured them three times. The amount of food was astonishingly large.

Xu Xian just frowned and looked at it, still feeling that his anger was hard to calm down. Then he was shocked, and saw the souls of the two people slowly drifting away from the body, but they did not leave, but surrounded the tiger, with humble expressions, acting like slaves.

One of them was still attached to the tiger spirit's ear as if it was saying something. The tiger spirit focused its eyes and raised its ears, as if thinking.

Ghost?!

This tiger has actually cultivated to the point where it can control ghosts. People are killed by tigers and turned into ghosts, but only tigers that have become spirits can control ghosts! This is also the innate ability of tiger monsters, just like the innate ability of dragons.

It can fly into the clouds, and the tiger can control ghosts with just a little practice and without any skills.

Xu Xian couldn't help but stood up, holding a thunder talisman in his hand. Tigers can control ghosts, but they can also be possessed by ghosts, just like the relationship between a sycophant and a king in the world. Obviously the two ghosts wanted to persuade the tiger

Kill Xu Xian.

Golden spiritual power flowed from the fingertips into the talisman, and the vermilion talismans on it slowly shone with brilliance. Just when Xu Xian was getting ready to go, he saw the tiger spirit roaring and tearing the two ghosts apart with his claws.

, then he opened his mouth and inhaled, the strong wind surged, and the two ghosts were swallowed into its belly, but they were not charmed by it.

The tiger demon nodded to Xu Xian, then jumped lightly and disappeared into the forest. Wherever he moved, there was a strong wind howling. This is another innate ability of tigers to become spirits - riding the wind. The so-called cloud follows the dragon.

, Feng Conghu is like this.

Xu Xian finally stopped wielding the thunder talisman because he noticed that the tiger had a big belly and seemed to be pregnant. And what he wanted to kill now was another group of "people".

Xu Xian smashed all the animal traps on the road, and then the clouds rose under his feet. Xu Xian flew in the direction mentioned by the two thieves. However, in this mountain wilderness, there were dense trees and countless caves. He wanted to find those among so many caves.

The thief's hiding place is not easy.

The thieves seemed to be hunters, so they must have hidden the entrance to the cave, but Xu Xian was a layman at this. He wandered around the mountain tops mentioned by the two thieves, but could not find them, so he suspected that he had been deceived by the thieves. Unfortunately, he

If you don't know how to calculate, you can get a result just by counting with your fingers.

The search lasted until night. Fortunately, a friend of mine told me that we might spend two days wandering in the mountains. So we found a cave made of several huge rocks and found some firewood. However, the humidity was too heavy and the firewood was not available.

It is easy to ignite, and even if it is ignited, it will only emit black smoke.

However, Xu Xian first dried the firewood with the rays of the sun, and then the golden flames lit up a bonfire. He also checked the medicinal materials collected today, but there were not many. Thinking about today's experience, I couldn't help but sigh.

tone, and immediately thought for sure: I will definitely find those people tomorrow and kill them without any regard for cause and effect.

Xu Xian was thinking about it while nibbling hard dry food. He couldn't help but smile bitterly: He originally thought that with his own skills, it would be okay to go hunting, and there would be barbecue to eat in the evening, but he thought simply. He

First, he had no bow and arrow, second, he couldn't set traps, and third, he didn't know how to hide. Not to mention hunting, he didn't even see a few prey. Even if he did, he couldn't catch up in the deep mountains and dense forests.

Xu Xian was thinking this way, but he heard a tremor in the trees in the darkness. Two green lights flickered in the forest, and then a huge black shadow jumped out, but it was the tiger monster again. Xu Xian held the thunder talisman tightly and thought: Could it be that

This guy is still unwilling during the day, okay, I will except you this time.

However, the tiger spirit did not pounce, but limped slowly closer, whining in its mouth and seeming to be praying in its eyes. Only then did Xu Xian notice that its hind foot was injured and blood was dripping from it.

He asked, "Do you want me to save you?" Then he laughed at himself, talking to this beast like a human being.

Unexpectedly, the tiger spirit nodded and could actually understand people's words. Xu Xian was stunned, and then he realized that the tiger spirit had been opened and he could understand the words of ghosts, so he could naturally understand people's words. However, his body was still in shape.

Otherwise, maybe I can still talk!

Xu Xian's heart moved and he said: "I can save you, but you have to take me to find the accomplices of the two people today!" The mountain king should know the location of the den of thieves.

The tiger spirit shook his head and seemed a little hesitant. The group of people had caught prey for him to eat, and it couldn't be more comfortable.

Xu Xian said angrily: "Otherwise, just leave!"

The tiger spirit nodded and Xu Xian said: "Come here!" The tiger spirit walked to the bonfire and exposed its hind paws. This position was beyond its reach. Xu Xian took a look and found that the tiger spirit's ankles seemed to have nails.

He was holding something, and he couldn't help but wonder that this tiger monster was not something that ordinary hunters could harm. Even the huge beast trap would have difficulty penetrating its fur.

Xu Xian stretched out his hand to grab the thing, and the tiger spirit felt pain, arousing his ferocity. He turned to face Xu Xian and roared, the fishy smell assaulting his nostrils. A pair of red eyes flashed with reflective fire. If he were an ordinary person, he would be scared to death at this moment.

.Xu Xian just turned around and looked at him, with golden light flashing in his eyes.

After a while, the tiger spirit drooped its head and was defeated. Xu Xian held its giant claw with one hand and the thing that had penetrated its claw with the other hand. He pulled it out hard and blood spurted out. Xu Xian looked for it again from the bamboo cage.

I got some herbs and put them on it.

The tiger spirit gradually calmed down, panting unsteadily, but not leaving. It seemed that it still remembered the promise it made. This kind of monster with the beginning of wisdom is the most simple, but it has no human dexterity.

Xu Xian held the thing in his hand, but fell into deep thought. This thing was not an awl, a nail, or even an iron tool as he imagined, but just an ebony hairpin. The look of this hairpin felt familiar to him, but

It was covered with blood and the patterns on it couldn't be seen clearly.

Xu Xian looked at the tiger next to him and couldn't help but sigh: Could it be that the person who hurt it was a woman? And judging from the injuries, it should have tried to escape first before being injured on its ankle. Who can beat this king of the mountain and run away?

Who is he?

As soon as the bonfire was shaken, the tiger spirit jumped up and returned to the dense forest the next moment. Not long after, it was seen coming back with a wild boar in its mouth and throwing it on the ground. Then it lay aside again. It seemed to be a thank you gift to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly. As expected, hunting requires "professionals" to work, and there was nothing to be polite about, so he started to handle the wild boar briefly, but only took out a piece of meat from the hind legs and put it on the fire.

After roasting for a while, a fragrance came out. The golden roasted meat was dripping with oil and water, which inevitably made Xu Xian, who was tired of eating dry food, salivate. Even the tiger spirit next to him started to pay attention and sniffed his nose.

In the dark forest, the night rain was heavy. The boy and the tiger sat around the same campfire, waiting for the barbecue to be cooked. The tiger was not afraid of the bonfire and stretched out its huge claws to grab the barbecue. The boy hit it with a branch and immediately shrank back.

He turned back and whimpered in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do about the young man who was not afraid of it at all.

The tiger spirit suddenly straightened up and roared softly, as if he had noticed something. Although Xu Xian only heard the night rain falling on the leaves, he also felt that something was approaching, and he couldn't help but be more vigilant.

In the dense forest, dark shadows were gathering towards the bonfire. A woman with long hair flew through the forest and landed lightly on the treetops. Her cold and beautiful figure seemed to blend into the rainy night.

When she looked at the bonfire through the leaves and rain curtain, her face suddenly became happy, she opened her mouth to speak, but was silent, her lips and teeth opened and closed, as if she was saying the word "Mr.". The expression on her face suddenly

Some anger turned into sadness, but he waved his hand gently.

It seemed that another silent command came down from the treetops, there was another commotion in the forest, and the black shadows slowly receded. The woman took a deep look at the campfire again, turned around and drifted away. In the sound of the rain, it seemed that
Chapter completed!
