Chapter 23 The Heart Is Sinister
"Mr. White Tiger? Are these five guys ghosts?"
The title "Tiger" has two meanings, the first refers to the mountain god, and the second refers to the tiger.
There are few people who know better than Wang Yuan whether there is a mountain god on Beimang Mountain. Naturally, their master can only be a tiger.
Just now, I was thinking about the fur on someone's body, but before I could take action, I was approached first. Even with Wang Yuan's face, he couldn't help but feel guilty for a moment.
Unexpectedly, this new tiger is actually a spirit that can control demons?
But he immediately came back to his senses, stood on the tree and took a closer look at the five weird-looking ghosts.
Their appearance is not much different. Their bodies are like eight or nine-year-old children. They are covered in green skin and skinny bones, but they all have a huge belly.
They were all wrapped in rags that could only cover their vitals.
The biggest difference is that one face has only one eye, one has only one ear, one has only one nose, one has only one mouth, and one has only one eyebrow.
The five ghosts seem to share the facial features of a normal person, with only half of them missing.
Wang Yuan knew that this was actually the normal behavior of ghosts.
When a living person dies, the soul has no support after leaving the body. If it can no longer take shelter in a social and divine realm like the "land of the dead".
It is difficult to control one's mind, and it is easier to go to certain extremes.
On the outside, he is becoming less and less human and more and more ugly.
Ghosts may become ferocious due to their viciousness; they may become huge due to their rage; they may become thin due to their despicableness; or they may transform into animal shapes due to their madness...
Greed will lead to bloating; stinginess will lead to a narrow face; being greedy will lead to a pointed head...
In addition, if you are angry, your face will be red; if you are sad, your face will be gray; if you are cold, your face will be blue... Over time, your original human shape will never be restored.
Therefore, the more kind a ghost is, the more peaceful its soul is, while the more malicious a ghost is, the more fierce and ugly it is.
And to be as beautiful as my cousin Huang Wu after death is to have a special destiny and extraordinary talent.
"Since these five ghosts look like this, with pointed heads, narrow faces, distended abdomens, green skin, and thin...
There is a high probability that he was despicable and self-respecting, greedy and cruel, and he was probably chewed to pieces by his own tiger before he was alive, and not even a complete set of facial features was left."
Relying on the experience of seeing many ghosts in the "Land of the Dead", Wang Yuan guessed eighty-nine percent of the characters of the five ghosts based on their appearance.
The black and white eyes rolled and he chuckled:
"Hey, isn't this a coincidence? If you want to find a big tiger, you don't need to ask those silly animals.
When it comes to understanding the White Tiger, who can compare to these charlatans who serve around him every day?
Moreover, the easiest people to deal with in this world are not the smart people, nor the stupid people, but the fools who are smart and extremely greedy.
In three words, let the evil spirit present his own tiger."
After making up his mind, Wang Yuan calmly asked them in a deep voice:
"Your prey? Where did you guys come from?"
The five ghosts gradually walked under the tree.
The "one eye" who was walking at the front and responsible for watching the road raised his head and stared at Wang Yuan for a while. He was a little surprised that this man didn't run away after seeing a ghost?
Immediately, the "mouth" walking at the back suddenly opened his mouth and made a voice like a broken gong:
"Oh, you're not afraid of us?
Listen up, kid, we are the five ministers of food under the White Tiger King - Mr. Ichigogo, who are responsible for the food of the tiger.
If you don’t want to die, please hand over all those fat pigs, fat sheep, and fat cows to us.”
Wang Yuan discovered that this mouth had a cadence when speaking. The voice of each sentence was the same, but the tone was different. It was as if five people were speaking through that mouth.
Especially when I said the words "Mr. Ichigo", I didn't miss a single word.
‘Mr. Ichigogo? He matches these five guys very well.
But who is the Minister of Shangshan who serves the tiger? A tiger can also learn to open its teeth and build a palace? These guys are too much to make trouble for themselves, aren't they?'
The existence of "ghost" is a poor person who was eaten by a tiger.
But after death, these poor people turned into ghosts driven by tigers. They were loyal to the tiger and considered themselves loyal servants, and in turn harmed other living beings.
As far as Wang Yuan knows, tigers generally forage at night, especially at dawn and dusk when they are most active. The ghosts following it will go out in advance to help it locate and mark its prey.
When the time comes, take your tiger to eat.
From this point of view, this charlatan can barely be regarded as the minister in charge of tiger meals.
At this moment, although Wang Yuan was complaining deeply in his heart, his face suddenly showed a look of surprise as if he was possessed by an opera spirit:
"Oh? Your tiger?
I have lived here in Beiman Mountain for more than ten years. How come I didn’t know that a similar person came here today?
Come on, come on, please introduce this brother to me quickly!"
His tone was full of the joy of meeting an old friend by chance.
Even if the most professional acting master came here, he probably wouldn't be able to see through his skillful acting skills that he has honed under the pressure of life and death for fifteen years.
Mr. Ichigogo was stunned when he heard these words. He looked around at the large group of animals crawling under the tree and did not dare to move, and subconsciously said:
"You...are you also a tiger?"
Immediately afterwards, the leading eye shouted:
"No, I can see clearly with this eye. You are obviously a person!"
Wang Yuan did not directly refute, but secretly took out the "Divine Tiger Seal" and used the "Beast Gathering Magic" again.
This time, [The Magic of Gathering Beasts] is no longer external, but internal.
The hot current surged in the Dantian, suddenly stimulating the aura of Wang Yuan's destiny [White Tiger Holding Power].
Roar--!
Within a radius of ten feet, five ghosts, beasts, insects...all the creatures suddenly heard a majestic tiger roar in their hearts.
Some of the summoned beasts oozed feces and urine and fell to the ground in fear, while others screamed like crazy and fled in all directions.
The rat-born winner who was stacking Arhats was closest to Wang Yuan.
Frightened by this, a pair of rat eyes immediately widened, and he fell off the back of the "black beauty" with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes. His limbs twitched, making people wonder if it had suffered from "horse wind".
The "Mr. One Eye Go", who knew the power of tigers best, was so frightened that his body stiffened, as if he was in front of his own tiger, and he wanted to kneel down and worship immediately.
In terms of destiny alone, Wang Yuan's [White Tiger Holding Power] is definitely more real than a real tiger.
Although he was unlucky, he used the "Magic of Gathering Beasts" as a bridge to show his majesty to the outside world.
After intimidating the entire audience, Wang Yuan put his hands behind his back and solemnly counterattacked:
"Why don't I look like a tiger?
Naturally, it’s because your tiger is a tiger spirit, and I am a tiger spirit!
Haven’t you heard that ‘the fabrications of people are demons, and the nature and spirit of things are essences’?
Huh? Do you think that with your family background, you don’t even know this common sense? Or are you not the retainers of the same clan as my Tiger Clan at all?"
Wang Yuan showed a hint of suspicion at the right time, allowing the "one ear" to hear clearly and the "one eye" to see clearly.
In fact, this is recorded in the Humane Book of Wild Dogs.
In addition to the unspeakable [weirdness], the strange creatures in this world also include fairies, spirits, ghosts, and monsters.
Human beings are transformed into monsters, and monsters are transformed from animals and plants, often taking the form of humans; the nature and spirit of things are spirits, which are transformed from rocks, plants, animals (original forms), and utensils;
A lingering soul is a ghost; an abnormality in an object is a monster.
My grandma and aunt are actually locust tree demons in human form.
"This...I...of course we know.
You are indeed a tiger demon in human form, do you know your surname?"
With the true power of the tiger and this provoking method, the five ghosts were completely deceived by Wang Yuan. Regardless of whether they had eyes or not, they all believed that he was a tiger demon in human form.
In order not to lose the face of Lord Baishan and Minister Shan.
Some even couldn't wait to put on the "Emperor's New Clothes" that Wang Yuan had sewn for them, for fear of being suspected by this "tiger" of being short-sighted.
Wang Yuan's deception skills have been broken, and he even deceived ghosts. Then he nodded:
"You can just call me Wang Shanjun."
Under normal circumstances, both the [Weird] and the mountain spirits and wild ghosts have worrying IQs.
When ordinary people face these aliens, although their force is insufficient, they can create miracles with wisdom and courage.
If done well, the strange story of a little girl being kidnapped and sold to human traffickers is not completely impossible to happen.
Just like this moment.
"Foreign minister, I have met Mr. Wang Shan!"
The five ghosts who had been deceived and became lame followed the etiquette and paid their respects together.
"Wang Shanjun" was very satisfied with them and thought:
Chapter completed!
