Chapter 144 The Western White Tiger God
The Zhang family and the Li family had already planned a marriage, and Mrs. Zhang's request for help from Ren Hong was simply to seek some auspicious words to reassure her.
Ren Hong pushed the boat along, helped Li Fan, and Zhang Qinglan corrected their birth dates and left Donggao City.
Not long after he left, Qu Shidao from the Kunlun Taoist sect came looking for him.
Lei Lingzi and Fu Shubao had just arrived and had little experience. But Daojun Biling and others were all seasoned. After listening to their description of "Changqingzi" and seeing the portrait, they decided to send someone to invite him.
However, Ren Hong left half an hour earlier, and Qu Shidao passed by him again.
Ren Hong did not go straight to the capital, but turned back to Yangzhou City.
A breeze blew from the majestic ancient temple of the Jade Buddha Temple. The flags moved in the wind, but soon there was no trace left.
Ren Hong stood outside the Jade Buddha Temple and recovered the breeze transformed by the green dragon phantom.
"Sure enough, there is no trace. It seems we are overthinking."
Concerning the details of the Star Demon, Ren Hong and the Juntian Immortal Spirit studied it and came up with another guess: "Perhaps the opponent is not an immortal, but a Buddhist? After all, the Buddha has a "Star Tribulation Sutra"."
Therefore, Ren Hong came to the Jade Buddha Temple to collect clues and took a look at the Jade Buddha's hand.
However, the starlight energy in the hand of the Emerald Buddha has completely disappeared, and there is no clue about the Star Demon at all. As for the conjecture that the Star Demon is a novice monk of the Emerald Buddha Temple, there is no result.
"That's it, save the big tiger and let's leave."
As soon as he arrived in Yangzhou City, Ren Hong heard rumors that local officials had captured a "white tiger".
By counting with his fingers, Ren Hong knew that this white tiger was the white-fronted tiger with stern eyes that he rode when he entered the world.
When Ren Hong came to the world to travel, he was too lazy to walk on his own. He calculated with his fingers and found a dying tiger nearby. After treating it, he used it as a transportation mount.
When entering the city of Yangzhou, Ren Hong thought of the hard work on the journey, so he used the white tiger phantom to inject magic power into it. He also told it to practice well and not to hurt anyone's life, and then let it return to the mountains and forests.
This was a casual move by Ren Hong. Ren Hong did not expect the big insect to be honest and obedient.
When Ren Hong thought about it, this big insect would either die in a fight with his companions or be killed by a hunter. The probability of truly succeeding in cultivating Taoism was too low.
Unexpectedly, the tiger was enlightened by Ren Hong and opened its spiritual wisdom. Instead of returning to the mountain to practice, the tiger kept wandering in the woods outside Yangzhou City, waiting for Ren Hong to come out of the city.
But when Ren Hong noticed the "fake relic", he was so frightened that he ran away without even thinking about the tiger.
About this month, Dahu was waiting outside the city, but he obeyed Ren Hong's instructions and did not hurt anyone. When he was hungry, he went to the mountains and forests to catch some pheasants. If he couldn't catch them, he went to the farmhouse to steal the poultry.
Soon, rumors of a tiger outside the city spread like wildfire.
The government originally didn't intend to pay attention to it, but a few days ago Dahu sent a certain Taoist temple to the government and ate the golden elixir that was intended to be presented to the Taojun Emperor.
It was this time that the government offered a reward to a group of hunters for capturing it.
Originally, the government planned to hunt the big tiger, but there was indeed some chance for this big tiger. After eating the golden elixir from the Taoist temple, following the wisp of the white tiger's true energy left by Ren Hong, he actually entered Taoism and became a spirit, and his fur turned pure white.
Seeing this "white tiger", the local officials had other ideas. They planned to offer the "white tiger" as an auspicious gift.
Ren Hong put away the green dragon phantom and floated into the city.
When he entered the city this time, Ren Hong pretended to be an old immortal. He was the "Old Western Immortal" who deceived Jia Yu and his party.
Without staying long, Ren Hong went straight to the backyard of the government office.
Here, a snow-white tiger is locked in a wooden cage with several talismans attached to it.
"This big bug really has a chance. The pot of elixir he took directly increased his Taoism for a hundred years?"
Under the observation of Ren Hong and the immortal spirits, this white tiger has been practicing for a hundred years and has entered the realm of fetal breath.
Ren Hong appeared, opened the talisman, opened the wooden cage and put the white tiger into his sleeve. Then he took out a wooden box: "This beast is destined to me. It ate the golden elixir of Emperor Daojun, so take this elixir."
compensate."
The box of elixirs prepared by Ren Hong is a large Zixia elixir refined from three hundred Feixia elixirs. Then it is blessed with a longevity mantra, which can prolong life.
In this way, he compensated Daojun and Emperor for the pot of golden elixir, and then left with the white tiger.
Arriving outside the city, Ren Hong released the white tiger.
Dahu was rescued by the old immortal, and he was initially a little bit conflicted. But when Ren Hong dismissed his appearance and revealed his true face, Dahu sniffed Ren Hong's scent and lay down on the ground obediently.
"It's strange, this big insect is cruel by nature, but it still knows how to be grateful? How to recognize its master?"
Ren Hong patted the tiger's head lightly and said with a smile: "This beast has been waiting for me in Yangzhou City for so long, which shows its loyalty. It happens that I don't have a mount, so I'll use it."
In Hutou Calligraphy and Painting, a jade-clear Taoist urn, Ren Hong once again practiced a white tiger phantom into a mysterious forbidden spirit and penetrated it into the body of the white tiger.
"If you follow this mysterious forbidden route, you may be able to truly evolve into a white tiger in the future."
Dahu whined a few times in a low voice to show his respect.
"Also, if you come here to steal food from a nearby farmhouse this month, please show me the way. We are from Kunlun and are authentic Xuanmen. We must compensate for other people's losses."
Ren Hong sent a white tiger to lead the way, dropped a few taels of silver on each house, then climbed on the white tiger and floated away.
After those farmers got the silver, they felt grateful for Ren Hong's divine virtues, worshiped the god in every household, and made up a story about the White Tiger God.
The White Tiger Spirit Officer is a Western god. The white tiger under his command came out to play secretly, stole farmhouse poultry, and caused trouble outside the city. After the god learned about it, he came to subdue the white tiger and compensate the farmhouse.
Several families who suffered disasters worshiped the god tablets one after another, and gradually the reputation of the "White Tiger God" for its justice and majesty spread.
Ren Hong left on the white tiger, hiding his whereabouts and strolling towards the capital.
That day, he stopped by a river to have a picnic.
Juntian Fairy personally came out to cook: "Hurry up, those chicken heads should be braised."
Ren Hong was a little disgusted with the head of the pheasant spirit and couldn't eat it. But Juntian Fairy Spirit didn't have this psychological burden. After taking out three chicken heads, he saw that Ren Hong didn't eat them, so he simply gave the chicken heads to the white tiger next to him.
"Hu'er, come here, let me share one with you. Practice well in the future, and I can count on you to become the guardian beast of the Taiyuan Five Lotus Immortal Mansion."
The tiger spirit smelled the fragrance of the chicken head, slowly bit the chicken head and began to chew.
Soon, a chicken head was eaten by it. Then it lay down next to Ren Hong, slowly digesting the spiritual energy inside, and running in the body according to the forbidden method formed by the white tiger phantom.
As the spiritual energy is absorbed by the white tiger, its fur gradually becomes a little silvery.
Ren Hong casually took a few bites of the stir-fried wild mushrooms cooked by Juntian Fairy Spirit, and then picked up a Taoist book.
Seeing this man and a tiger with no one to accompany him to eat, Juntian Fairy shook his head: "You guys, you don't know how to enjoy it at all. This delicious food is one of the great pleasures in life."
As he said that, he missed Bai Luo on Kunlun Mountain more and more. That boy was his confidant. I wonder how he is doing now?
Then, the fairy took out another chicken head and started to eat it, cooking two side dishes for himself from time to time.
After eating for a while, the fairy was satisfied. Just when he was about to clean up the leftovers, he suddenly saw a "lying corpse" floating down from the upper reaches of the river.
