Zhao Rui was in a coma for two days. His legs were broken and he fainted from the severe pain. Later, he was exposed to the rain all his life and contracted wind and cold. He had a high fever and was unconscious for the past two days.
Fortunately, his status as a prince saved him.
Because he was a relative of the emperor, the magistrates and officials from nearby counties searched for the best doctors in towns and villages to treat him in order to save him.
And he was lucky enough to find a capable doctor.
Not only did it heal his legs, but it also helped him get rid of his high fever and wake up from his coma.
The groggy Zhao Rui opened his eyes and woke up and found that he was in a government office in a certain county.
He was about to get up, but when he just wanted to move his feet, he immediately felt a sharp pain coming from his legs. The pain was so painful that he couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth and groan in pain.
The pain reminded him of what had happened before.
Zhao Rui's face instantly twisted and turned ferocious, "That damn Taoist actually dared to break my legs. I will definitely not let that Taoist go. I will definitely not. I will ask the emperor to issue an order."
, arrest that Taoist and bring him to justice. I will personally interrogate that Taoist and slowly torture him.
Grind him to death, no, this king will also kill his nine tribes and let everyone who has anything to do with him be buried with him."
After gritting his teeth and cursing for a while, he suddenly asked: "The people who come to me, the people who come to me, are all deaf?"
"Your Majesty~!"
Immediately, two guards walked in with clasped fists and a salute.
Zhao Rui drank: "Where is this place?"
One of the guards said: "Go back to your lord, this is Yu County."
Yu County?
Zhao Rui didn't know where this place was, so he continued to shout, "Why isn't it on the way to the capital?"
"Your Majesty has been unconscious for a long time, and my subordinates dare not make any decisions, so I and others discussed bringing the Prince to Yu County for treatment of his injuries. The Prince has been in coma for two days and two nights. Fortunately, the Prince has a good fortune and happened to meet a man.
Famous doctor," the guard said.
"Of course nothing will happen to me. Well, what about the immortal? You have to leave obediently. What if you broke my leg? Most people in the world are surnamed Zhao. Am I still afraid that this illness cannot be cured?
Go, hit the road today and go to the capital." Zhao Rui snorted with a gloomy face,
"But the doctor said that the prince's illness requires him to rest for at least a month and he is not allowed to move around at will."
"Are you deaf? I said that if I go to the capital, the doctors here can only cure my superficial injuries, but they cannot cure my inner pain. If I don't go to the capital, how can I take revenge?
The king doesn't want to say it a second time, go to the capital." Zhao Rui almost shouted, with a dead look in his eyes.
Stare hard at the guard.
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The guard's heart trembled and he did not dare to hesitate. He immediately turned around and left to prepare for the car.
Only half an hour later, Zhao Rui's car set off towards the capital again.
Zhao Rui, who was lying in the carriage, kept twitching on his face at the moment, and the pain of his broken leg lingered. Even though his legs had been reattached, there was no way to eliminate the pain.
The more painful it was, the more Zhao Rui hated that Taoist.
I wish I could return to the capital right away and let the emperor order that man to be captured and cut into pieces.
But when I'm on the road.
The remaining dozen guards were frightened, looking left and right, and deliberately avoided some dense woods when driving. They had already grasped their swords tightly in their hands, looking ready to fight at any time.
Maybe Zhao Rui didn't take it to heart.
But the guards remembered clearly that the game between the Taoist, no, the immortal and the prince was not over yet.
He had said before that the second game was to guess whether they would encounter a tiger along the way.
The immortal guessed first. He said he would encounter a tiger.
This immortal prophecy comes first, how can we not make people nervous and scared.
If they could stay in the county town, the guards would definitely not be afraid. After all, there was absolutely no chance of a tiger appearing in the county town.
But walking on the official road is different. Although the official road leads directly to the capital, it also winds along the way, passing through mountains, ancient forests, or wastelands.
There are too many places where tigers can appear along the way.
On the first day of the journey, the guards were extremely vigilant, but the journey was very peaceful. Nothing happened. On the contrary, it made them very tired.
The next day, the car continued to move forward without incident. The guards gradually relaxed their vigilance, thinking that the tiger might not appear, and perhaps the immortals would not dare to harm the prince.
On the third day, we were almost reaching the capital. The official roads on the road were no longer remote, and there were people nearby. It didn't look like there would be tigers around.
So the guards thought that nothing would happen.
But just as they were thinking this, the expression of the guard riding in front suddenly changed.
He saw a stone tablet standing on the official road. The stone tablet appeared unexpectedly, but there were four words engraved on it: Zhao Rui encountered a tiger.
"No, this stone tablet must have been erected by the immortal."
The guard's face changed suddenly. What he had been worried about before happened. He shouted: "Be careful around you, beware of tigers."
"What?"
The others were all frightened, and they were busy holding weapons on guard.
However, after being vigilant for a while, I found the shadow of a tiger somewhere around me. Looking around, there was no obstruction everywhere. If there was a big insect infested, it would be absolutely impossible to miss it.
"What's going on? Who said there were tigers? Why didn't we see any tigers?"
"That's what I said. I didn't say there were tigers. I just told everyone to be careful about the appearance of tigers. Do you still remember what the Taoist said a few days ago? He said that you will encounter tigers on the road to the prince, but just now I saw a stone tablet erected in front of the palace.
On the road, let me ask, there is a stone weighing several thousand kilograms set up on the official road.
Stone tablet, who else other than immortals would do such a thing?"
"I also saw it. There are four characters on the stone tablet: Zhao Rui Yu Hu. This is obviously an allusion to the prince."
When the middle guards were confused, they started talking again. Although they didn't see the tiger, they couldn't make everyone's worries disappear.
For a moment, the convoy was stuck in the middle of the road, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.
While waiting and hesitating, Zhao Rui woke up from his sleep. When he saw the carriage and horses stopped, he immediately called the guards to ask questions. When he heard that there was a stone monument blocking the road, he became furious.
"Is that Taoist threatening me by holding the stone tablet to stop me? It seems that he is also afraid that I will arrive in the capital and ask the emperor to order his arrest and kill him. Huh, take me to take a look at the stone tablet.
What’s strange is that it scares you losers so much that you dare not move forward.”
Four guards carried a sitting table to the stone tablet.
When Zhao Rui saw the words on the stone tablet, he glanced around: "Zhao Rui met a tiger? Where is the tiger? Where is the tiger."
"Your Majesty, my subordinates have been here for an hour and haven't seen any tigers. There should be no tigers here." The guard hesitated and said cautiously.
"Trash, if there is no tiger, then that Taoist is trying to scare you. Why do you need to pay attention to it? Just go around this stone monument. Where is Liu Sheng? Where has Liu Sheng gone? Such mistakes will be made. Is there any use for this king to support this staff?" Zhao
Rui shouted angrily.
"Have you forgotten, Your Majesty? Mr. Liu has been killed with a stick by His Majesty's order," a guard next to him reminded cautiously.
Zhao Rui's face darkened and then he remembered this matter. He said: "Continue on your way and ignore this stone monument."
"Your Majesty, there is something behind this stone monument." A guard suddenly shouted hurriedly as he walked around the stone monument.
"What is it?" Zhao Rui said.
"Back to my lord, it's a painting of a fierce tiger." The guard said.
"Take me to take a look." Zhao Rui said.
When Zhao Rui walked around the back of the stone stele, he saw a painting hanging on the back of the stone stele.
The painting is not an ancient painting. It seems that it was just painted not long ago. The scrolls are all new, but the scenery painted on the paper is a picture of a sleeping tiger.
At the foot of a big mountain, there is a rock in the shade of trees. A huge black tiger is crawling on the rock, with a peaceful expression and sleeping soundly.
Although it does not have the majesty and domineering power of a tiger, this black tiger is extremely expressive. Although it is crawling in the painting, everyone seems to be able to hear the breathtaking low breathing sound of this tiger sleeping soundly, like in the dark clouds.
The thunder roared.
"Tiger picture?"
Zhao Rui frowned, with a ferocious look on his face: "Is this what the wild Taoist said about me encountering a tiger? I thought it was a real tiger, but I never thought it was a picture. This Taoist is using this thing to humiliate me.
What? It’s just a picture of a tiger, but it makes me stay here for a whole day
Time, trash, they are all a bunch of trash, what are you doing standing there, why don't you quickly take down the tiger picture and burn it, do you need me to do it myself?"
The guard responded with fear, and immediately wanted to take down the tiger picture and burn it.
But just when he reached out, the guard immediately shrank his eyes and looked horrified. Then he stared at the tiger figure as if he had seen a ghost and screamed. He backed away in fear, and the last one stumbled and fell to the ground.
On the ground.
He trembled and pointed at the tiger picture and said: "Live, come alive. The tiger in the picture has come alive."
Everyone looked at it with their eyes wide open, and they were also shocked. They couldn't help but take a few steps back.
However, he saw that the black tiger lying on the rock in the picture actually opened his glasses and raised his head. He turned his head and stared at himself and others intently.
It really came to life.
"What are you afraid of? It's just some superficial Taoism. It's just to scare people. Do you really think that the tiger in this painting can jump out of it and take me away? It's ridiculous. I also had a passage when I was in the palace.
People have performed such magic before, but it was just a cover-up." Others said
Fear comes from not knowing why.
But Zhao Rui is not afraid. He has seen many spells, and he is not surprised by such spells, but rather disdains them.
I feel that this Taoist is really out of his depth. Such magic is just to scare ordinary people. How could it scare him?
He was going to the capital to ask the emperor to issue an order to kill the Taoist. How could he be so frightened that he stopped moving because of this little trick?
"Ho~!"
But before he finished speaking, a roar of a tiger roaring from the forest suddenly sounded. This sound came from the picture, making everyone's ears buzz.
Looking up, he saw the black tiger in the picture raising his head and roaring, then staring at Zhao Rui, making a leaping and hunting posture.
"Um?"
Zhao Rui couldn't help but his expression changed suddenly when he heard the roar of the tiger.
Not only that, he also felt a strong wind blowing around him, and the official road was filled with flying sand and rocks, and the sun was blocked by dust.
"Something's wrong."
Zhao Rui was not a dull person. He immediately realized that something was wrong and was about to ask the guards to carry him away from the tiger map.
next moment.
"Ho~!"
The picture flickered, and the next moment two huge tiger claws were seen protruding from the picture, and a huge black tiger jumped out and jumped on Zhao Rui instantly.
"Ah~!"
Zhao Rui screamed, his feet were pinned down by the huge black tiger, the wound burst open, bleeding continued, and he was in great pain.
"The tiger in the painting really ran out."
The others were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly.
They swore they had never seen such a terrifying black tiger. This black tiger stood taller than a person. Its roar could make people dizzy, and a war horse could easily be crawled to the ground with a casual wave of its claws.
This is not an ordinary tiger, it is simply a tiger king and a monster.
The black tiger that rushed out of the picture was staring at Zhao Rui instead of chasing others. The black tiger was pacing around Zhao Rui at the moment, roaring at the other guards, flicking its tail, and even the guard's spear was thrown away.
Interrupted, the frightened war horse would fall to the ground and vomit blood if he rushed towards him and slapped him casually.
The tiger's power frightened these people and they wanted to turn around and run away.
After scaring everyone away, Black Tiger opened his mouth and picked up Zhao Rui, who was unable to move.
Like a cat holding a little mouse in its mouth, he couldn't resist at all.
"Quick, come and save me."
Zhao Rui ignored the pain and shouted in horror.
At this time, he no longer had the calmness and calmness he had before, and all he had was the fear of death.
He can play with the people and human lives with his power, but power and status are of no use to tigers. In the eyes of tigers, he is food, but he will not choose not to eat you just because you are a prince. Maybe the prince's meat is more delicious.
Some are even more popular with tigers.
"Your Majesty."
The guard with a shocked face plucked up the courage to go up and rescue him.
"Ho~!"
The black tiger turned around and growled lowly, which seemed to be a warning. The guard who had just stepped forward was frightened and backed away again and again. After frightening the guard away, the black tiger jumped up and returned to the picture again.
moment.
Black Tiger disappeared, followed by Zhao Rui.
But Zhao Rui did not completely disappear.
After these things calmed down, the guards looked at each other and leaned over, but they were shocked to find that there was one more person in the previous tiger picture besides the black tiger.
It was the portrait of Prince Zhao Rui that appeared in the picture. However, in the picture, Zhao Rui's legs were broken and he fell next to the tiger. He was held down by one of the tiger's paws and could not move. He could still be clearly seen on his face.
