Pangshan Mountain is the node of the largest spiritual vein in the lower reaches of the Huai River. The strange creatures born here are born with spirituality.
When was I born?
I can’t remember clearly, I just remember that it was a long, long time ago.
As a tiger, I am not something inherently powerful. It will take a long time for me to grow into a powerful tiger. Until then, I need to survive under the protection of my mother.
This is the principle of survival, a principle that has been established since the birth of a species. As the price of future strength, young tigers are very weak. God is always fair, even if it is biased when it comes to individuals, but for the whole
That said, it's fair.
But my mother died, and I don’t know how she died. I only know that my mother died, leaving me, who was only a few months old, dead.
I only remember that it didn’t rain that day, it was just cloudy and I couldn’t see the sun. I tried to wake my mother up in her arms, but it failed. I fell asleep, and other spirits and the like came towards my mother’s body and me.
They gathered around.
But I didn't die. When I was about to be eaten by something else, a person saved me.
That man... I can't remember his face clearly, but I still remember his name, which was Zi Ye.
He didn't care that I was an inhuman tiger, he took me with him and raised me.
I can’t tell exactly what role he played in my life. Maybe he was a friend? Maybe he was a father-like figure?
In fact, a title in the future can cover it.
"Best Friend".
He stayed with me for several years and settled down at the foot of the mountain where I lived, just him and his wife, but his wife was very afraid of me.
After my own weighing, in order to let him get his own happiness, I decided to leave the small thatched cottage at the foot of Pangshan Mountain and live in the mountains.
Pangshan is huge, has strong spiritual veins, and has countless powerful spirits and monsters. Life in Pangshan is very difficult, but as an adult, I can still do it if I just guard the thatched cottage at the foot of the mountain.
No, I...have to do it.
I lived like this for several years.
One day, Zi Ye found me.
He stood in front of me, looking a little sad and a little regretful.
"My dear friend, I'm going to fight." He stroked my fur and put a little force on his hand. "Conquests continue between countries. As a strong man, it is impossible for me not to join the army. The death order of Chu State has been issued. I
Must go.”
I sat and looked at him quietly, waiting for him to say something.
He hugged me and put his forehead against mine.
"My dear friend, once I leave, I don't know when I will come back. I only ask you one last thing."
He suddenly knelt in front of me, with tears in his eyes.
"I beg you, protect my wife and children."
After saying that, he left.
When I looked at his back, I just felt sad.
It was originally to escape from the chaotic world of human beings that I took refuge in this chaotic world of monsters, but even so, I still couldn't achieve purity.
My dear friend, you are smart, but people...
The conquest only brings about internal friction, but the act of denying it and giving each other fifty hits is not correct in itself.
In a complex human society, ordinary people like my best friend do not have the opportunity or channels to understand the so-called "right and wrong", but they still have to be involved in the war.
In fact, before discussing right and wrong, the act of war itself is already stupid enough.
He left, and I accepted his expectations and protected his wife and children.
But there are dangers everywhere in Pangshan. Even a spiritual and adult tiger like me must live a cautious life.
I lived a cautious life while protecting his family. In this way, time passed slowly.
He didn't come back for a year.
Two years later, he didn't come back.
Three years later, he still hasn't come back.
But I'm hurt.
In fact, I am often injured. In an environment like Pangshan, it is impossible not to get injured.
But this time, I was seriously injured.
So heavy that he was about to die.
But... I can't die. If I die, what will happen to my best friend's wife and children?
So I can't die.
But sometimes, ideas and reality are never the same.
I'm still going to die.
That Dangkang was still pushing against the wound on my abdomen with its sharp fangs.
My dear friend...I'm sorry...
I thought sadly and closed my eyes.
However, I survived again, just like when I was still a baby tiger.
This time, it was not Ziye or my best friend who saved me.
But a Taoist with white beard and hair.
I opened my eyes slightly and looked at him, but I spit out a mouthful of blood again.
"I followed my destiny and came here, but I didn't expect that what I saw was this scene." What was in his eyes? Is it sadness? Or something else?
I don't know, I can't see clearly.
"I see that you, a tiger demon, are very spiritual and were born on this huge Pang Mountain." The Taoist said, stroking his beard with a smile on his face, "You and I are destined, and there is some cause and effect, but today I will
Enlighten you."
Enlighten me? What does that mean?
But there was a trace of hesitation on the Taoist's face: "I don't know what the cause and effect is, but there is indeed a cause and effect between you and me, and I believe that there is no distinction between religions, so I should sow this cause and effect."
"From now on, if you lie down on Pang Mountain and suppress this spiritual vein, you will be worthy of my enlightenment today."
Do you need me...to do something? I'm sorry...but I'm already dying...
The man seemed to notice my situation and put his hand on my forehead. I only felt a cool and gentle power pass from his hand to my body.

At that moment, I understood this.
"I planted the cause, but I can't see the result. But one day, the cause and effect will repay you. Just wait for that day. No matter what the outcome is, just remember my Taoist number."
"My Taoist name is Siji."
The Taoist removed his hand and said so.
After saying that, he turned around and left, but took two steps and came back again.
He was silent for a while and stretched out his hands, as if he was creating something.
After a while, a jade tiger appeared in his hand.
He placed the jade tiger in front of me and glanced at the thatched cottage on the side, his expression hesitant.
"I don't know why you are guarding this mother and son here, but it's better not to let them here. This is a dangerous place, and disaster will happen sooner or later. They don't belong here in the first place. After you recover, you can
Send them out." Taoist Si Ji turned away, but then turned back to me and said, "I have other important matters, so I need to take a step forward."
.......A dangerous place?
But what if they are sent away by me and my best friend comes back and cannot see his wife and children?
In the end, I didn't send his wife and children away.
After that Taoist's enlightenment, I became very strong, even the strongest in Pangshan.
In order to completely eliminate the danger that threatened their mother and son, I killed all the monsters and monsters on Pangshan Mountain and became the sole overlord of Pangshan Mountain.
I'm still waiting for his return.
But his son grew up and he did not return.
His son's son was born, and he did not return.
His wife died of old age and he still has not returned.
He...can't come back.
By the time I accepted this reality in frustration, his descendants had already built a village under the mountain.
And I can no longer bear to send these children away.
His children regarded me as a tiger and a mountain god. They built a temple for me, called the Tiger Temple, and even wrote a couple of inscriptions for me.
"A good tiger does not eat blood."
"The most upright and true immortal."
In this way, I became a tiger, received offerings, and became a god.
Because I pacified the area around Pangshan, I suppressed all the alien spirits, and the number of people increased. In addition to the villages of his descendants, there were also Yangjia Village and Wujia Village.
I couldn't help but think of what the Taoist said to me that day and smiled.
With me here? How could something bad happen?
...
Until I opened my eyes again, all I could feel was pain and tears in my eyes.
The man was still standing there with a sad expression.
