"So, this Taoist sect is very powerful?" asked the old Orion.
"It's not Taoist sect, it's Taoist sect." Qi Wu corrected the old Orion's accent.
"When I go to Qinghuai County tomorrow, we will compile a book and send it to the five major immortal sects to ask them to take action." Qi Wu asked about the process when he met Dai Bufan.
At that time, he was still lamenting that local officials with little cultivation were aloof and condescending, but he never expected that the disciples of the Immortal Sect who were not in the world of mortals were actually more approachable.
However, Qi Wu didn't know Dai Bufan's status in the Taoist Sect and only regarded him as an ordinary disciple of the Immortal Sect.
If he really knew Dai Bufan's identity and cultivation level, I'm afraid he would be more than just sighing.
The old Orion was overjoyed and quickly thanked Qi Wu and others. He also said that if he could really deal with the tiger demon, he would not even pay for the travel expenses. Qi Wu quickly said no, no, no.
It's not that they don't want to save money, it's that they don't know whether the old Orion is speaking for show or sincerely.
"I'm sorry, the little girl encountered heavy rain on the way, so I can't stay here for one night?"
A beautiful silhouette broke through the rain curtain. She was wearing a green lotus skirt and a slightly sad look on her eyebrows, which made people want to agree to her request involuntarily.
Everyone turned to look at A Yue, saying that a female ghost is really here. Have you ever opened your mouth?
"No!" Qi Wu immediately rejected the girl's request.
There is no village or shop here, and such a beautiful woman suddenly appears in the deep mountains and old forests. Thinking of what the old Orion just said, he can't help but doubt.
The most important thing is that this girl in green clothes is wet!
It's raining so hard outside that it feels like God is splashing water. How could it be dry?
The girl in green clothes was slightly sullen, feeling that these people looked like they had read books, but what they said was quite rude.
"You are so unreasonable. Not to mention that this mountain temple has no owner. You are just here to take shelter from the rain. It is raining heavily outside. Can't you let the little girl keep using the magic to block the rain?!"
"Magic, are you a monk?" Qi Wu spoke carefully. Most monks have a gentle attitude towards mortals, but if they are really annoyed, there is no telling what they can do.
He hesitated.
The old Orion had a firm attitude. With many years of experience in living in the mountains and forests, he felt that there must be something wrong with the girl in green, but his tone was more tactful: "Master monk, you are a monk or a woman, and you live with eight of us gentlemen.
Temple, it’s always not good if word spreads.”
"In this way, there is a mountain road to the north, and there is a temporary wooden house built by our hunters halfway up the mountain road. This distance is only a few steps for an expert like you."
The old hunter did not lie. There was indeed a wooden house there, but it could not accommodate so many of them, so he brought Qi Wu and others to the mountain temple to take shelter from the rain.
The girl in green thought for a while and felt that what the old Orion said made sense. She was a woman. Although she traveled around the world informally, why stay in this leaky temple when she had better choices?
After the girl in green clothes left, everyone heaved a long sigh of relief, fearing that the girl in green clothes would turn into a dazzling tiger and eat them.
"Okay, let's all go to sleep. If you feel refreshed, you have to get up early and go on the road tomorrow. I really don't want to come to this ghost place a second time." Qi Wu said with a yawn, his upper and lower eyelids were fighting, and he was so sleepy that he couldn't open his eyes.
Qi Wu originally wanted to sleep with his head facing inward, as this would be facing the mountain god statue. He always felt that there was something wrong with the mountain god statue, so he did not dare to get too close, so he could only let everyone sleep with their heads facing the door.
After arranging two pairs of night watchmen, everyone fell asleep.
After everyone fell asleep, the mountain god statue's eyes turned and looked downward, staring at everyone.
No one noticed.
…
A Yue yawned, his eyes blurred, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment. He and another person were on the first night shift.
"I'm so sleepy, I really want to sleep."
"Be patient, you heard it, it's not safe in this mountain..."
"Yes, I can't sleep, I'm still waiting for the female ghost to attack me at night."
"You are average-looking. Didn't you read in the book that female ghosts like handsome men? You should attack me at night."
"The female ghost likes scholars. You have only read books for a few days. The female ghost likes people like me who have read the books of saints and sages."
The two began to argue quietly about the unfounded female ghost, and the more they talked, the more energetic they became.
Suddenly, a low roar sounded. Even the rain and thunder couldn't stop the roar. The two of them suddenly trembled and shivered.
Just when the two of them were wondering if they were hallucinating, another low roar came from a closer distance!
"It's that tiger monster!" The two looked at each other and saw each other's fear.
"Get up, there's a monster!" A Yue shouted hurriedly.
Everyone woke up from their sleep, clutching their weapons and staring at the outside of the temple. Cold sweat could not stop breaking out from their foreheads, and their legs were trembling.
The roar disappeared and was replaced by a thick snort. From the snort, it was easy to imagine what a huge creature the other party was.
A shadow appeared in the rain curtain, and the shadow grew larger and larger. Everyone was frightened and trembling.
A huge tiger head passed through the rain curtain and stretched towards the mountain temple. Qi Wu could even see the hair of the tiger head clearly!
The tiger demon walked into the temple with its whole body, and everyone's backs were sweating when they saw it. This was actually a four-meter-long tiger!
The tiger demon used its hind legs to exert force and actually stood upright!
"Old Sun, what should we do now?" Qi Wu asked in a low voice. This tiger monster was definitely not something they could defeat with the wooden stick in their hands.
Unexpectedly, the old hunter walked straight towards the tiger demon, bowed and said: "Please have a meal with Mr. Tiger."
"Well, good job." The tiger demon spoke human words, but he didn't know how much cultivation he had.
Qi Wu was so angry that he wanted to tear the old hunter apart with his hands.
The girl in green is not a ghost, but the old Orion who has always been by their side is!
The tiger demon showed a humane smile and said sarcastically: "Originally, I didn't want to eat you. After all, there are too many of you. If you all die, it won't attract the attention of the outside world. But there is no way. You actually want to tell the five immortals about me.
If we open the door, we won’t be able to keep you!”
As he spoke, the tiger demon pinned down the old Orion with his paw: "And you, you always refuse to change your habit of talking too much. If you insist on telling a story, you still want me to step in to end it. Do you want me to kill you again?"
The old Orion repeatedly begged for mercy and said he would not dare to do it next time.
The tiger demon snorted: "You deserve credit for driving that female cultivator away. The merits and demerits are equal to each other, so I won't punish you this time!"
The tiger demon has no habit of playing with its prey. It possessed Qi Wu and looked at him carefully. It made a roaring sound in its throat, like a mouthful of phlegm: "You are the smartest one here. If you are willing to join me, I can
I will refine you into a ghost, neither dead nor alive."
At this time, Qi Wu was no longer afraid, pointed at the old Orion and sneered again and again: "If you go around harming people like him, you might as well just die! Bah!"
"If you don't eat the toast, you'll have to drink as a penalty!" Whenever the tiger demon was insulted like this, he immediately flew into a rage. Waves of sound waves spread, shaking the top of the temple as if it was collapsing.
The tiger demon stopped trying to persuade him and opened his bloody mouth and pounced on everyone. Qi Wu closed his eyes and waited for death to come.
At this moment, a gentleman's sword lay between the tiger demon and Qi Wu. The sword's light bloomed like the morning sun, which was extremely dazzling and cut the tiger demon's cheek.
