The bearded man was about to kill the black tiger in front of him with a sword, but when he heard Li Xiuyuan's voice, he subconsciously stopped the sword in his hand.
"Are you a scholar? I didn't expect you to be here. It's such a fate. But I'll talk about anything later. Let me deal with this evil tiger first."
After he finished speaking, he raised the sword in his hand and wanted to kill Black Tiger without any hesitation.
"Xing Shan."
Li Xiuyuan drank again.
When his voice fell, Xing Shan behind him immediately raised the big bow in his hand. With the sound of the bowstring tightening, an arrow flew out instantly, very fast, before the bearded man could take action.
An arrow hit the sword in his hand.
The power of the four-stone bow was extraordinary. Even though this bearded man had extraordinary martial arts and had become a master, the sword in his hand trembled when he was hit by it, and the sword flew out of his hand.
"Is this the sharpshooter in the army?" The bearded man was startled, jumped away quickly and then became alert.
"Hero, I'm offended." Li Xiuyuan got off his horse and strode over.
The bearded man opened his eyes wide and looked a little angry, "Scholar, is this man your bodyguard?"
"Yes, he is the guard of my Li family." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Do you want to stop me from killing this evil tiger?" said the bearded man.
Li Xiuyuan said: "It's not that I want to stop you, but that you shouldn't kill it at all."
"This evil tiger commits murder, shouldn't I kill it? I thought that you, a scholar, were different from other scholars, a bit heroic, but I didn't expect that you are also a pedantic person." The man with the beard and beard said angrily.
"Although your sword is sharp and your martial arts are high, you have a reckless personality and cannot see the truth with your eyes. Didn't you find that your sword pill has been contaminated by blood and cannot fly? I remember you told me last time
, your sword can only kill monsters and monsters, not people. Once it is stained by human blood, it will lose its spirituality. It needs to be tempered by thunder and fire to remove the dirt and restore spirituality."
Li Xiuyuan looked at him and said.
The bearded man looked at the blood-stained sword in his hand, and realized that it had indeed lost its spirituality and could no longer turn back into a sword pill.
"You mean, this is not a tiger... but a human?"
Li Xiuyuan nodded and said: "Exactly."
"If you are a human, why did you turn into a tiger?" The bearded man stared at the black tiger in front of him and asked.
Although there is demonic aura on his body, the demonic aura is very light and not strong, but the human aura is heavier.
Before, when he came on flying horse and spit out sword pills to stop this evil tiger from killing people, he didn't think so much about it. It seemed that there was a hidden secret in it.
"Cause and effect, cause and effect."
At this time, a sigh sounded, and a slovenly Taoist was seen walking out of the nearby mountains and forests; "Wei Hu's wife and children were insulted and killed by Wang Tong and his gang from the Chu family. Now Wei Hu has become
The tiger took revenge. Although the revenge was avenged, it also committed the crime of killing. Now it is regarded as the evil tiger that harmed people and it is time to hunt. This is karma. If I had known that I was so ignorant, I should not have interfered with this matter.
"
"Uncle Master." Li Xiuyuan saw this man and bowed.
"It turns out that the Taoist priest turned a man into this black tiger." The bearded man suddenly fell silent.
Mu Taoist nodded and said: "Yes, it was Pindao who performed the Taoist magic. It's a pity that people are not as good as God. Wei Hu killed more than ten people today. He was not going to have a good death. It's just that Pindao didn't expect that he would die in the end.
in the hands.”
"Since you are killing people to avenge your wife and children, why do you need such a method? This matter should be resolved by the government." said the bearded man.
Li Xiuyuan shook his head and smiled: "If the government was useful, people like Wang Tong would have been killed long ago. Why wait until now? I heard the hero said before that you came here to hunt down the wanted criminals of the court. Then you should know something about the affairs of the court.
, don’t you know that bureaucrats are corrupt and grievances cannot be redressed? It’s better to rely on yourself than relying on the court.”
"Why."
The bearded man sighed heavily: "There are too many grievances and grievances among people in the world. I can't see through them, and I can't control them. I don't want to care about them. I just want to simply eliminate evil and save good.
I didn't expect that this would also lead to wrongful killing, but I have already killed the person, and I have nothing to say. I will use my own methods to atone for my sins. Scholar, I bid you farewell. I'll see you again in the future."
He was not a mother-in-law kind of person. After he finished speaking, he immediately got on his horse and rode away without saying anything more.
Li Xiuyuan was silent when he saw him leaving.
"You shouldn't blame him. He's not wrong. He took action with good intentions to kill the tiger and save others. After all, he didn't know about Wei Hu. Even Pindao didn't expect that things would take such a turn. This is God's will.
." Mu Taoist said
Li Xiuyuan replied: "If there is really God's will, why didn't Wang Tong and his group get retribution?"
Mu Taoist stroked his beard and said: "They bullied the woman and caused the Wei family to hang herself. One corpse and two lives. They usually do a lot of evil. Now isn't this retribution coming? Everyone who did evil today died in Black Tiger's body.
The best proof is in your hands.”
"But Wei Hu was innocent, so why did he take a human life? After all, after all, he killed a group of people who deserved their crimes, but he also took the life of a good person with him." Li Xiuyuan said.
"Isn't it not dead yet?" Mu Taoren said with a smile.
Li Xiuyuan saw that Black Tiger was still breathing a little, and hurriedly said, "Uncle, please help me."
Mu Taoren shook his head and said: "It's not Pindao who saves it, it's you who save it. As long as you don't want him to die today, he won't die."
Li Xiuyuan suddenly remembered something, grabbed Taoist Mu's hand and said: "There is a thousand-year-old fairy grass in my house, which can turn white bones into flesh. I ask my uncle to get it as soon as possible."
"Although the thousand-year-old fairy grass can cure Wei Hu, Pindao cannot get it for a while," Mu Taoist said.
"Why, wasn't the black tiger's skin taken away by my uncle using Taoism before?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
Mu Taoist shook his head and said: "Although the skin of the black tiger is a rare treasure, it is just a dead thing. However, the thousand-year-old fairy grass has spirituality and immortality. Pindao's technique cannot attract it. Otherwise, Pindao will not be able to attract it."
Once this Taoist technique is used, there will be no shortage of spiritual objects around Pindao in the future. It should be noted that no Taoist technique is omnipotent, and Pindao cannot do anything about it, unless he goes to get it in person, but even if Pindao goes to get it in person
, I’m afraid even the black tiger will be dead if I use the escape technique again and again.”
"If that's the case, then why did my uncle say that I can save him?" Li Xiuyuan said.
"Have you forgotten that you still have a pair of miraculous elixirs with you?" Mu Taoren pointed at Li Xiuyuan and said.
Li Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered something: "Uncle Master, are you talking about the heart and soul in me?"
Mu Taoist smiled and said, "If you don't care about your heart, just feed this black tiger some blood. Your blood can make the ghosts increase their Taoism, and naturally it can also heal the ghosts. Now the black tiger is dying and needs your blood to save him."
.”
Li Xiuyuan's eyes moved, and he immediately took the guard's waist knife, preparing to cut his palm and bleed it to rescue Wei Hu.
"Wait." Mu Taoren grabbed his waist knife and stopped him.
"Uncle, do you have any questions?" Li Xiuyuan asked.
"Don't forget what Pin Tao said before. Wei Hu was transformed into a tiger by Pin Tao using Taoist magic. If he eats your blood, he will never be able to turn back into a human. He will only be a tiger for the rest of his life." Mu Taoist said.
Said: "You have to think clearly about the choice you make,"
Li Xiuyuan hesitated immediately.
Mu Taoist indeed said this. Wei Hu, wearing a tiger skin, became a black tiger. The biggest taboo is that he cannot eat humans.
Once it eats a human, it will never become a tiger again.
"I can't control whether Wei Hu can change back, but I can't just watch him die. I need to save him first. If Wei Hu doesn't want to be a tiger and wants to die in the future, I can't control him either," Li Xiuyuan said.
After he finished speaking, he slashed his palm with his waist knife, and blood immediately flowed out and dripped into Black Tiger's mouth.
At this moment, the black tiger is dying, about to die, and has no consciousness.
But as Li Xiuyuan's blood dripped into the black tiger's mouth and was swallowed unconsciously, an incredible scene occurred.
The wounds on Black Tiger's body were visibly recovering, and his weak appearance, which was on the verge of death, began to improve, and his intermittent breathing began to become normal.
The treatment was effective.
Black Tiger was quickly saved from the brink of death.
Seeing this, Mu Taoist sighed and said: "Perhaps only you can end this never-ending cause and effect."
According to his calculations, Black Tiger was bound to die. He took revenge, but he also committed a killing and was hunted by the swordsman. Everything was God's will.
But now Black Tiger has been rescued and is not dead.
Could it be that the originally destined ending has been changed, and the destiny destined by heaven has been cut off?
"Young master, he's alive, the black tiger is alive." The guard said in surprise when he saw this.
Mu Taoren signaled at this time: "That's enough, you don't need to continue feeding it, it has been rescued."
Li Xiuyuan did not stop, but continued to feed the blood. He smiled and said: "My blood can make ghosts increase their spiritual power. Uncle, do you think I will raise a new Black Tiger if I feed it like this?"
When the time comes, after Wei Hu becomes a spirit with the body of a tiger, will he be able to cultivate a human body again? Become a human again?"
Mu Taoist was stunned when he heard this.
He had never thought about this, but when he was reminded of it today, he came to his senses.
This all seems feasible.
Could it be that Wei Hu changed from a human to a tiger, then from a tiger to a human, and then returned to the starting point after turning around in a circle?
It seems to be a simple truth, but for a Taoist like Mu Daoren, it is definitely not the case. What he saw was that Wei Hu's fate had changed, the cause and effect was gone, everything started over, and he tried to deduce the black
The tiger's fate, but found that it could no longer be calculated.
Mu Taoren was silent for a long time. When he looked at Li Xiuyuan again, his eyes were filled with shock. He thought to himself: "This is the saint in the world, the real one who defies heaven and changes his destiny."
