Chapter 38: Who is Worse?
"We are actually preparing to go down the mountain. Qian Laowu must have noticed something." Huang En said grandly.
Before Tianxian Kuangzui could speak, another voice intervened.
"It doesn't matter if I find anything, I've already burned down the house for him."
In the thick fog, a figure holding a potted plant in his right hand approached.
"You're not dead?" Tianxian Kuangzui recognized the person who was Gu Shanhai at a glance.
Hearing this, Gu Shanhai's head turned black: "I just went to solve the riddle, why did I die?"
It's a little embarrassing for Tianxian to be drunk.
"Gan, you won't go around saying I'm dead, right?" Gu Shanhai felt a little bit confused when he saw this. These two teammates seemed to be a bit cheated.
"What, let's not mention these, you said you were going to solve the puzzle? Can you solve the puzzle directly? If you haven't already reached the process of defeating the boss, how can you still solve the puzzle?" Huang En's question was like a machine gun.
squirted out.
"With the fighting power of our three brothers, you're going to risk your life." Gu Shanhai complained, and then said: "If we really follow the process, we will have to face at least a level 20 boss and thousands of them.
For a level 10 elite monster, even if you pull out a Gatling with unlimited firepower, it will be a bit overwhelming."
The two of them were also a little curious as to why this damn copy was so scary.
Just as he was talking, he suddenly heard a terrifying tiger roar from the top of the mountain. A breath of resentment and anger swept over him instantly, and even the clouds and mist entrenched in the mountain were cleared away by this roar.
"Is this the boss?" Huang En asked grandly.
"We are currently friendly forces." Gu Shanhai corrected him.
Then he saw a huge, twisted red shadow rolling down from the mountain in the clouds and mist.
If you look carefully, you will see that the outside is a bright red wedding dress, but the inside is a horrifying shape formed by a large amount of flesh and white bones twisted together, and you can still vaguely see the broken human face and facial features.
"Ghost, have you ever heard of it? If a person dies by a tiger, his ghost will be enslaved by the tiger, he is a ghost."
"It's just that these ghosts are different. They are creations formed by obsession and resentment. It is better to say that they are driven by the black tiger, but it is better to say that they cooperate with the black tiger to take revenge."
Gu Shanhai's words made the two of them more and more confused, but he did not explain immediately, but said: "The story the village chief told before is true, but there is something missing."
"I'm afraid even he himself doesn't know about these things. Guess what I dug behind the Qian family's ancestral tomb in the ancestral hall."
"What?" Tianxian Kuangzui asked following Gu Shanhai's words.
"A mountain ghost mural and the tiger corpse sealed inside, the skinned tiger corpse." Gu Shanhai said.
"Mountain ghost? That's not..."
"Li Gui? That's not what it actually means. Shan Gui means the goddess of the mountains, and it can also refer to the mountain god here." Gu Shanhai answered the meaning of Tianxian Kuangzui.
The quick-thinking Huang Enhaodang immediately thought of it: "What do you mean, Fengtai Village sent the mountain ghost to become the queen and killed her mount Black Tiger?"
"Yes, the general story is the same as what the village chief told. The only difference is that the person who became the queen was a mountain ghost, and he also used the name of Qian Fengsheng's daughter."
"Qian Fengsheng is a general, but under what circumstances would he return to Fengtai Village to live in seclusion?"
"That's right, he made a big mistake. Not only was he dismissed from his post, but he was also sent back to his place of origin. Then he wanted to return by presenting beautiful girls to the emperor."
"Don't think about the outcome. He must have failed. If he had succeeded, he would not have stayed here as a mountain god, but would have joined the court as an official. I even doubt whether the mountain ghost has entered the palace or not is a problem."
Gu Shanhai completed some aspects of the story.
"That's not right. Why is it skinned?" Huang Enhaodang asked and then added: "But when it comes to skinning, we have to say that the mountain ghost comes down the mountain..."
Huang Enhaodang told Gu Shanhai the information he got from Qian Laowu.
"It's very simple. Mountain ghosts are not humans, but spirits raised by nature. How could ordinary people inherit the position of mountain gods so easily? So they skinned the black tiger and put it on Qian Fengsheng's body, and put it on Qian Fengsheng's body. The soul of the black tiger is bound to the tiger skin, thus suppressing the black tiger's counterattack."
"As a loyal minister, would you be willing to watch the enemy kill his lord and then skin him alive and imprison him?"
"But there were smart people in Fengtai Village back then. They offered sacrifices to Qian Fengsheng's transformed god under the ancestral hall, and used a portrait of a mountain ghost riding a tiger to restrain the skinned body of the black tiger. If the black tiger pretended to be a corpse, If it wants to come out, it must first break the image."
"That's why...the Qian family's spiritual position has been suppressed for so long."
"It's a pity that after waiting for so many years, they didn't get the glory and wealth. Instead, they only incurred a lot of bad debts."
Gu Shanhai looked at the sea of fire surging in the village at the foot of the mountain and couldn't help but sigh.
The bad debts he was talking about were, of course, the women who were married off as mountain gods and killed in recent years.
"Of course, this is not stable, because as time goes by, the soul of the black tiger trapped in the tiger skin becomes more and more uneasy, and Qian Fengsheng is only a human after all. After his death, no one is willing to inherit the position of the mountain god. Because the black tiger never let them go after its death, those wearing tiger skins suffer torture all day long."
Don't ask Gu Shanhai why he knew it, just ask him because he tried it.
"So they thought of another way to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause." When talking about this, Gu Shanhai showed a joking expression: "They used other women to pretend to be mountain ghosts themselves. Not to mention, it was really effective. First, they used the sacrifices The method made it tainted with the aura of the mountain god, and the black tiger, who was blinded by resentment, naturally couldn't recognize it."
"Over time, there will be thousands of these demons. Do you think we should fight against so many elite monsters like this?"
The terrifying demon rolled down from the top of the mountain and stretched out its arms to grab the villagers wherever it passed.
"And I just did a small favor, sending Black Tiger's body back to life again."
"Although it is a black tiger, it is also a spiritual beast accompanied by mountain ghosts. It is under the command of the mountain god. How can it be measured by this common sense in this mountain?"
"Guess again, how many levels are there in the black tiger that has lasted for thousands of years and carries the power of mountain ghosts?"
Gu Shanhai watched the tiger shadow at the top of the mountain, which was nearly ten stories tall, walking down the mountain.
"I don't really want to guess." Tianxian Kuangzui swallowed and didn't dare to speak. If it was the Black Tiger who only had a soul, he would probably follow Gu Shanhai's words and say it was only a level 20 boss.
But he would believe such a terrifying figure now, even if it was level 100.
"Let's just watch the CG for the rest?" Huang Enhaodang also asked.
