Chapter 31 The calamity of the tiger
Just like the original Wu Qin Xi, when Ling Qing has a clear understanding of a skill, he can include it in the general skill panel.
I had already tested it before when I was learning the staff technique. For this reason, Lingqing also found some online reference techniques.
But most of them are incomplete, and most of their characteristics overlap with those of Wu Qinxi.
Therefore, Lingqing does not have any crazy collection skills. After all, it is enough to learn only one skill with the same characteristics.
This is why he worked so hard to help Tu Tu Gong sort out the sacred texts.
Although he was suspected of taking it without telling him, how could he not be tempted in the face of such a magical method?
It is a pity that the sacred text could not be memorized and included. At the same time, it is not known whether the name of this ancient scroll cannot be revealed due to incompleteness, or because the true meaning of the original text cannot be understood.
"Please, father-in-law." Ling Qing handed the compiled pages, together with the ancient animal skin scroll, to the tugong who was looking at him.
"Thank you, sir." The landlord was overjoyed and took it.
In my excitement, I even changed my title.
He casually put the ancient animal skin scroll aside, picked up the loose pages compiled by Ling Qing and read it carefully.
Ling Qing glanced at the ancient scroll and remained silent, sitting quietly and waiting.
The landowner raised his head after flipping through it carefully.
Unlike the animal skin scroll that was casually placed aside, he carefully placed the pages on the stone table.
Then he stood up, straightened out his already very neat robes, stepped back and bowed to Lingqing.
"Excuse me, sir. Please wait."
"Where, my father-in-law is serious." Seeing this, Ling Qing hurriedly got up and dodged, and stretched out his hand to support him.
He didn't know if the landowner could touch it. If he reached out to help him, but he was pushed through the air, that would be embarrassing.
"Sir's knowledge is extraordinary, and his explanations are easy to understand, which makes me enlightened.
But I still have one more merciless request, and I hope you will give me some advice."
The Tuigong looked at Ling Qing Manse with some embarrassment, and then said: "It's not that I'm old and greedy, but that I'm old and stupid, and I don't know much about literacy.
I can understand the parts of Mr.'s annotations, but I still don't know the words throughout the text, and I still have many doubts about the meaning of the text.
I hope that sir, sir, can be kind enough to explain it to me."
"Okay." Looking at the expectant Tudigong, Lingqing had no choice but to agree.
It seems that I can't rest tonight, but who can let myself get the benefits of others.
Whatever, let’s take it as compensation.
After thinking about it, Lingqing picked up the pages of the book that Tu Tu Gong placed on the stone table and began to read and interpret them word for word. When he encountered obscure places, he would not tire of explaining them again and again.
If there is something you don’t understand, don’t make any assumptions and tell the truth.
However, when encountering such a place, it is the Earth God who is a god and has personal experience who has a better understanding and can solve Lingqing's doubts.
In this way, although there was no prompt, after Ling Qing got the true meaning.
After contacting the context and correcting the errors in the original annotation, I gained a deeper understanding of the entire sacred text.
It can also be regarded as reviewing the past and learning new things, which is a small gain.
One person and one god explained and discussed at the same time, and time passed by unconsciously.
When a ray of white light appeared in the east, Ling Qing, who was immersed in it, was refreshed and woke up.
"Its daybreak."
"Yes, it's dawn."
The Earth God also looked at the rising sun in the east and suddenly said with emotion: "Originally, I thought this would be the last sunrise I would see.
But thanks to my husband's help tonight, I have a slight chance of winning."
"What do you mean, father-in-law?" Ling Qing couldn't help but asked in confusion after hearing this.
"I hope you will forgive me, sir. Due to old age, I made you rest by mistake."
The Tudong turned to Lingqing and said: "To be honest, this Huaishu Village is now an empty village.
The people in the village have been persuaded by the old man to go away to other places."
"But because of the tiger problem?" Ling Qing, who had already made some guesses, answered smoothly.
"Exactly. I should have persuaded him to turn away when I saw him yesterday, but due to selfish selfishness, he was allowed to stay one more night."
The Earth God bowed apologetically, took out three clay balls from his sleeves, picked up the roll of animal skins, and handed them to Ling Qing's hands.
"I have obtained this scripture for nearly a hundred years. Although I don't know its meaning, I have gained some miraculous powers after practicing it indiscriminately.
This clay pill has the ability to escape from the earth. After being crushed, it can make people escape in the earth for more than ten miles.
These three coins are enough for you to stay thirty or forty miles away from this temple mountain.
I will also send this ancient scroll to you, sir. I hope you will not refuse."
Lingqing was very moved when he saw these two things. After pretending to refuse them, he put them away, fearing that he would regret it if he shied away too much.
It seems that compared to the great righteousness of the land father-in-law, he is still too ordinary-minded.
But there is nothing wrong with this, after all, he is a mortal.
"Thank you, father-in-law. I wonder what your father-in-law means when he says you can't see the sunrise tomorrow?"
"Laochai is the land of this village and cannot leave the territory without orders.
If you insist on leaving, you will not only lose your priesthood, but you may also be questioned and punished by the city god.
Originally, the old man dismissed the villagers, and there was no danger after hiding in the spiritual realm.
Although the tiger demon has eaten many people, it has not been heard that the earth temple in any village was destroyed.
But the bad thing is that the tiger demon has a grudge against Lao Chan, and I'm afraid it won't let him go after seeing Lao Chan."
After Tu Tu Gong's explanation, Ling Qing also understood what was going on.
It’s still related to this ancient animal skin scroll.
A hundred years ago, the earth-gong who had not yet reached the end of his life worked hard outside for half his life, and returned to Huaishu Village where he was born and raised with half of his life savings.
The reason is because he got a scroll of immortal magic that is said to be able to cultivate immortals and become gods, which is the scroll of animal skin.
He got the ancient scroll from a cave. There were two volumes in total at that time.
After reading through it, he was overjoyed and was about to pretend, when he suddenly heard a roar of a tiger approaching him.
In desperation, he quickly hid, and then heard the tiger walking in from the entrance of the cave.
"Ho~~"
After the tiger entered the hole, he suddenly let out a shrill roar, rushed out like a gust of wind, and pulled out an ancient scroll where he had stayed before.
It turned out that when he was hiding before, he dropped one of the volumes in a hurry.
Then the tiger swallowed the ancient scroll in his mouth and chased him out in the direction he came from even more furiously.
Although I don’t know why the tiger didn’t notice him so close.
But when he saw the tiger walking away, he ran out quickly, carefully hid and went down the mountain.
After that, he didn't dare to go back the same way, but hid in the opposite town for a few days before he dared to return to Changyang Town.
He heard that the tiger was driven back to the mountains after being noisy for a while. In order to prevent the tiger from finding him, he packed up and returned to his hometown.
From then on, I studied in the village and used half my life savings to benefit the village.
On the contrary, he won a lot of support, and gradually became a respected elder in the village as he grew older.
But at that time, he was also illiterate and relied entirely on guesswork for the general meaning of the scriptures.
Fortunately, there is no harm in this magical method without being introduced to it, so he will not be in any danger.
