Chapter 282: Tigers and elk team up to hunt humans
Huoshan, also known as Huotai Mountain, is located at the junction of Gu County and Hongdong in Huozhou, Shanxi a thousand years later.
Yes, this Hongdong is the Hongdong County where "Su San almost died, there are no good people in Hongdong County". And the ancient county was not called this name in the Tang Dynasty, but was called Yueyang County, which is the same as Yueyang County in Hunan Province.
A name, but in fact the Yueyang in Shanxi is older.
Because in the book "Yu Gong", it was recorded that "Taiyuan was built, and Yueyang was built."
The "Yue" in Yueyang refers to Huoshan Mountain, and "Yueyang" refers to the Yang of Taiyue.
Although Huoshan was not a very famous mountain or river more than a thousand years later, it was not the case in the early Tang Dynasty or even earlier. Huoshan's status was very high, directly catching up with the Five Mountains.
In fact, the status of Huoshan can be traced back to ancient times. At that time, Huoshan was already very famous. It was a famous mountain and river where people concentrated on worshiping. And because people buried a large number of jade bis, jade rings and other things during the sacrifices, it was
It is also recorded in the book "Erya" that "the beauties in the West include Huoshan Mountain and many pearls and jade."
In the 14th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign in the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Wen of the Sui Dynasty Yang Jian personally ordered that Huoshan be canonized as Zhongzhen. Together with Yishan, Wushan, Kuaijishan and Yiwulu Mountain, it was called Wuzhenshan. For Spring and Autumn Festival sacrifices, its status was once comparable to that of Mount Tai of Zhongyue.
.
Because there was a heavy snowfall in Huoshan two days ago, the entire Huoshan Mountain has now become shrouded in jade-carved clouds, with jade jade everywhere. The crystal clear rime makes the mountains and rivers white and flawless, and the clouds and mist are everywhere.
The branches of jade trees look like the entire Huoshan Mountain has turned into a fairyland.
At the southern foot of Huoshan Mountain, a figure was stumbling across the knee-deep snow.
His clothes were withered. Even though it was the middle of winter, he was still wearing a single coat and single trousers. He only had a sheepskin singlet wrapped around his upper body to keep warm. He held an ax in his hand and looked back in horror as he ran.
.
If you follow his gaze, you can see that what is chasing behind this man is actually a strong elk.
It jumped lightly in the snow, lingering far behind the figure, watching the other person with alert eyes. As soon as it saw that the person wanted to stop, it stopped immediately and would never take the initiative to approach.
other side.
"Huhuhu..."
The woodcutter carrying the ax stopped and looked around with a desperate look on his face. Then he gritted his teeth, turned around and ran towards a small valley on the side.
"Yo yo yo..."
Just when the man changed his route, the elk following him immediately raised its head and let out a melodious roar.
"Ouch..."
Just after the deer's cry sounded, a tiger's roar suddenly sounded from a nearby hillock, as if it was echoing the elk.
Following the roar, a tiger three to four meters long jumped out of the snow.
But what is surprising is that the tiger not only did not attack the elk, but also nodded to the elk very friendly, as if saying hello. Then he saw the elk raised its front hooves and pointed at the tiger.
Pointing to the direction of the woodcutter carrying the ax towards the valley. The tiger roared again and jumped towards the direction of the woodcutter.
A quarter of an hour later, under the guidance of the elk, the tiger successfully intercepted the woodcutter into a cave at the southern foot of Huoshan Mountain.
The trembling woodcutter was hiding at the entrance of the hole with an ax in his hand, seemingly planning to kill the tiger when it rushed in, but it was obvious that his opponent was not that kind of mindless beast.
"Roar……"
The tiger slowly wandered to the front of the cave, let out a long roar, and then began to speak human words.
"Human, what do you think is the point of this kind of resistance? Wouldn't it be nice to just be eaten by me?"
"Dream...dream..."
The woodcutter hiding in the cave was holding an axe, with a sad and angry look on his face.
"You damn beasts, I will never let you eat me!"
"Do you think it will be okay if you hide in a cave?"
There was a mocking look on the tiger's face, and then it turned to look at the elk next to it.
"Old Moose, go find Hu Shishi and the others, bring a fire certificate, and give this human a fire. I don't believe this human can be able to hold it when the time comes..."
"YoYo……"
The muscular elk roared loudly, and human words came out of its mouth.
"Okay, let's go right away!"
After hearing the content of the discussion between the tiger and the elk, the woodcutter hiding in the cave finally couldn't bear it anymore. After hesitating for a moment, although his body was still shaking, he resolutely raised the ax in his hand.
Rushed out of the hole.
"Damn beasts, I will fight with you!"
Looking at the woodcutter rushing out of the cave, the tiger's face showed a proud look. It nimbly stepped back to avoid the woodcutter's ax, then raised its thick forelimbs and flicked its sharp claws.
came out.
"Go to hell, humans!"
Snapped!
The sharp claws clawed down, sending snowflakes flying, leaving five claw marks on the frozen hard ground, but the woodcutter who was supposed to be caught to death by his claws had disappeared without a trace.
The tiger turned his head and looked left and right in surprise, but did not find the woodcutter at all.
Then, it saw the old elk standing beside it suddenly leaping backwards without warning and running desperately towards the outside of the valley.
"Old Moose, why are you..."
Before the tiger finished speaking, it saw a flash of white light in the sky. After an arc, it slashed through the old elk's knees.
Plop!
The old elk, which was running away, suddenly lost its front hooves, fell down, and rolled several somersaults in the snow, falling very awkwardly.
Then the tiger heard a clear voice coming from the sky.
"It's been a long time since we've seen each other. I really didn't expect that one day I'd see tigers and elk teaming up to hunt humans..."
After hearing the voice, the tiger raised his head stiffly.
I saw floating in the sky above its head a young Taoist priest wearing a snow-white robe. He was picturesque and handsome. He was holding a whisk in one hand and a woodcutter wearing a sheepskin coat in the other hand.
.
What looked like a little milk cat was lying on the Taoist priest's shoulder. After sensing the tiger's gaze, the little milk cat glanced at it with disdain.
"Ouch..."
In an instant, a fear like coercion filled the tiger's mind, a feeling engraved in its blood.
"Dragon...Longzi..."
"That elk, please get back here as fast as you can."
The Taoist priest in white didn't pay attention to the tiger at his feet, but raised his voice and shouted to the elk that was rolling away quietly in the distance.
"Otherwise, Pindao will directly take your deer head with one sword strike."
Following the words, the old elk's body stiffened as if struck by lightning, then it silently got up from the ground and limped back.
Whoosh!
After seeing the tiger and elk returning to him very honestly and kneeling on the ground, the Taoist priest in white nodded slightly, carried the woodcutter down from the sky, and landed in front of the cave.
"Brother, can you...well, it looks like you're about to freeze to death, and you can't answer Pindao's words...well, yes!"
As he said that, the Taoist priest in white flicked his sleeves, and there was a bed made of red wood on the ground with a cushion on it.
When Hu Bed appeared, the surrounding white snow instantly turned into water droplets. Even the tiger who was a little distance from Hu Bed felt a warmth coming from the direction of Hu Bed.
Then the Taoist priest in white raised his hand and threw the woodcutter, who was shivering from the cold, on the bed, and then asked with a smile.
"Can you tell Pindao what happened? Why did the tiger and the elk collude together to hunt you down for the first time?"
"Chief Immortal, you are wrong. It's not just tigers and elk..."
After sitting on the warm bed, the woodcutter's face, which had turned pale from the cold, regained a little color.
"...There are also oxen, foxes, leopards, pheasants, wild boars, wild geese...In fact, all the animals in Huoshan are now chasing someone."
"oh?"
The Taoist priest in white had a very interested look on his face.
"All the animals in Huoshan are chasing you. Could it be that you did something like setting fire to the mountain to arouse public outrage?"
"The Immortal is joking..."
The woodcutter smiled helplessly at the Taoist priest in white.
"You are a woodcutter, how could you do such a thing as setting fire to the mountain and destroy your food and clothing? It's just that I discovered a secret of these beasts in Huoshan."
"secret?"
A curious look appeared on the white-robed Taoist priest's face.
"What's the secret... Well, let Pindao come and take a look..."
As he spoke, the Taoist shook the dust in his hand and threw out an identification technique.
Whoosh!
The little cat suddenly shrugged its nose, and then jumped down from the Taoist priest's shoulder. It walked to the tiger's side with a step of disowning its relatives. It shrugged its nose again, then stretched out its little paws and slapped it.
Tiger's face.
"Ouch!"
The tiger's body trembled, then he lowered his head and roared softly as if in reply.
"Ouch..."
After hearing the tiger's roar, the little milk cat's face flashed with anger, and he swung his little paw and fell on the tiger's face.
Snapped!
The big tiger that was three to four meters long was slapped by the little milk cat and flew up. It spun around in the air and fell to the ground with a splat. The tiger roared in a hurry.
"Aw...aow..."
The scene in front of him immediately shocked the woodcutter who was chased by the tiger.
"Chang Xian, your cat..."
"What's wrong with the cat?"
The Taoist priest in white first turned to look at his milk cat that was bullying the tiger, then turned back to look at the side of the woodcutter and said casually.
"She seems to have discovered that the tiger has hidden a good thing. Now she is extorting a confession from the tiger. Don't worry about her. Brother, what is the secret of Huoshan that you discovered?"
