After handling the fur and other things, Tang Jie continued on the road.
Huxiao Valley is a gourd mouth topography with narrow front and wide back. The more you go in, the more spacious it is. As an artificially opened valley, it occupies half of the Qingyun Mountain. The mound is a pattern in which there are mountains in the lake, valleys in the mountains, and heaven and earth in the valleys.
At this moment, Tang Jie walked all the way, and had come to a pool under the mountain. Seeing that the water was clear, he stopped to drink some water with his hands, and by the way, to see if there were any spiritual plants worth picking nearby.
But it looks like there should have been here before, but they have all been taken away.
Tang Jie didn't care either. After drinking the water, he just sat on the side of a big rock, hanging his head and wondering what he was thinking.
After a while, he moved slightly in his heart and looked up to the top of the mountain in the distance.
I saw a white-fronted tiger appeared on the top of the mountain in the distance.
The tiger squatted on a boulder on the top of the mountain and looked at Tang Jie and Yiyi in his arms unblinkingly.
Although Yi Yizang did not show his head in his arms, Tang Jie felt that the tiger's eyes seemed to have penetrated the cloth at that moment, seeing through everything.
"Roar..." a low roar came.
The sound is not loud, but thick and long, spreading all over the valley.
Hearing the sound, Yi Yi poked her head out and glanced at the white tiger.
Little Yiyi didn't feel the aura on the tiger, and didn't even feel scared. Instead, she asked Tang Jie:
"Brother, that tiger is looking at me too! Is it also a demon?"
"Well, and it's a very powerful monster." Tang Jieen said, but his eyes stopped on the tiger without blinking.
"Then why doesn't it come to chase us?" Yiyi is very curious, walking along the way, whenever a monster finds Yiyi, it will inevitably chase them desperately, so that they spend more time running than ordinary students. many.
"Because it can't come down." Tang Jie replied, "There is a formation on the top of the mountain, which trapped it."
"Ah? Why are there formations trapping it? Aren't all the monsters in this Tiger Roar Valley free?"
"This exception... Yiyi, do you know how the name of Tiger Roar Valley came from?"
Yiyi was startled: "It's not because of this big tiger, right?"
Tang Jie nodded: "To be precise, it is because of its ancestors."
"Its ancestor?"
"En." Tang Jie nodded.
He looked at the white-foreheaded tiger on the top of the mountain, and the tiger was also looking at him from above.
Tang Jie simply sat on a large rock, facing the tiger, and said loudly: "Yes, in the earliest days of Tiger Howl Valley, it was actually the place where a demon tiger was imprisoned, and this mountain was its imprisonment. Many. Years ago, there used to be four great monsters in the Washing Moon Academy, the tortoise, crane, tiger, carp, and the third in the ranks of the monsters. They were the third of the tigers. These four great monsters were actually the partners of the seniors of the Washing Moon School, just like you and me. It's like this now."
"Oh..." Yiyi nodded and expressed his understanding: "What happened later?"
"Later?" Tang Jie smiled: "These four great monsters were originally the partners of the masters of washing the moon, some of these seniors later soared through the world, some died, and some were unable to retreat. These four great monsters Without the master by his side, he simply stayed in the college and became the great demon of the town courtyard. But one day, the demon tiger suddenly betrayed."
"The monster tiger betrayed?"
"En." Tang Jie nodded: "The demon tiger betrayed because of a greed for a treasure of the Washing Moon Sect. Later, the Demon Tiger Thieves Treasure left but was captured by the Washing Moon Sect. In order to find out where the secret treasure was, Imprisoned it on this Tiger Peak, imposing the cruelest punishment on it, interrogating it every night. Every night, the tiger’s screams sounded on the Tiger Peak, and later it was named Tiger Peak."
"What happened later?" Yi Yito listened to Tang Jie's story with his chin.
"Later... The Demon Tiger never explained where the secret treasure it stolen, and the Moon Lake Academy failed to get the things, so the Demon Tiger was kept locked up until it finally died on this Tiger Roar Peak. But it was not the only one. Himself, it also has a wife and children. After Yaohu died, his wife and children were still kept here, because the Axiomists believed that Yaohu might have left secrets to his wife or children through blood or other methods, and they The descendants of the demon tiger were kept here for interrogation, but they still couldn’t get what they wanted. Later, the Washing Moon faction gave up completely. They simply opened up this Tiger Howling Valley with this Tiger Peak as the center, and let This has become a test field for students. As for the Tiger's Peak, it has become the final challenge area for students..."
"It turns out that this tiger is the only high-grade monster beast!" Yi Yi shouted, pointing at the tiger on the top of the mountain.
Tang Jie nodded and replied: "Yes, it is the only psychic high-grade monster beast in this Tiger Howl Valley, and it is also the direct descendant of that monster tiger. It is locked here, and can only walk on this mountain, not going out, but The students can go in and out of the mountain at will, hunting the demon tiger."
For the students, the strength of the top-grade monster beast is too strong, so strong that if the monster tiger is allowed to walk freely in the valley, even if it has a jade medal, it may not be able to save the life of the student.
Because of this, the academy detains Yaohu in solitary custody, which can be regarded as giving the students the right to choose.
If you don't want to run into top-grade monsters, it's okay if you don't go up to the peak. Of course, if you are on the peak, then take responsibility for your own life.
"If that's the case, wouldn't the demon tiger be all dead?" Yi Yi asked.
"No." Tang Jie replied, "Every time the Moon Washing Sect will catch a demon tiger from outside, and mate with the demon tiger on Huxiao Mountain, and produce offspring, so that they will not be extinct, and wash away. Moon students are also strictly required. If you encounter tiger cubs, you must not kill them. If you violate it, you will be directly expelled or even executed! If the old demon tiger is dead and the new demon tiger has not yet grown, the Tiger Roar Peak will be temporarily closed and wait for it. It grows up and then reopens. The other monsters in Tiger Howl Valley change every year. Anyway, as long as the strength is similar, the monster tiger on this Tiger Roar Peak remains unchanged for hundreds of years. It is always the descendant of that monster tiger. Generations continue. Since the millennium, this tiger's howling peak has been stained red by tiger blood many times, never a demon tiger has a good end. This is the punishment for that demon tiger... to harm the children and grandchildren!"
As if hearing Tang Jie's words, the tiger on the top of the mountain made a low whistling sound, and the voice echoed in the valley, full of sadness.
"It's terrible." Yi Yi was also terrified by the story told by Tang Jie.
She is still young after all, and for her, some things are still too cruel.
In fact, even for students, this story seems a bit cruel.
But Cleansing Moon Academy does not conceal this.
Just as Tianzhudian taught the students to trust the Washi Moon Sect, Hu Xiaofeng used another method to tell the students the fate of the betrayal.
Tang Jie smiled and said, "It's cruel to the monster tiger, but it's not so for the students? Do you know how many students are killed every time you kill the monster tiger? High-grade monster beasts are never easy to kill. There are many people, and the students can kill the monster tiger, but the monster tiger’s dying counterattack can always drag some people into the water. Don't be superstitious about jade cards, attacks like the monster tiger, ordinary students usually kill with one blow. For this reason, most demon tiger hunting operations actually ended in failure. It was not because they could not beat them, but because they faced the tragic death. They were afraid, shivered, collapsed, and escaped..."
"Then they still go? Is this monster tiger very valuable?"
"Value?" Tang Jie raised his brows: "Said that value is of course valuable. High-grade monsters are worth more than middle- and low-grade monsters, but can they be worthy of their own lives? Just as the only high-grade monster beasts. , For the students, if anyone can kill it, it is equivalent to creating a glorious... This is the greatest degree of glory that the Lingquan Rank can get, and to some extent it is even higher than the record of the Seven Heavens Hall. Only this one, It is enough to make many people forget their lives. There is also a saying that the moon-washing secret treasure stolen by the demon tiger back then has actually been on this Tiger Roar Peak, but no one has ever been able to find it. So. There are also students who hope to climb the sky in one step and find the secret treasure. To find the secret treasure, naturally you have to walk on the body of the demon tiger."
"Wow, if we kill Yaohu, won't we get the baby?" Yi Yi's eyes widened, his eyes full of longing.
Tang Jie looked funny, and pinched her small face and said, "Silly girl, how can a student find something that the Washyue Sect hasn't found for hundreds of years? That secret treasure may have disappeared in the world long ago, so that the demon tiger simply It’s impossible to hand it over, so I have to be punished here for generations."
"Well, I hate it, don't pinch your face!" Yiyi shouted dissatisfied.
"But..." Tang Jie's words changed suddenly: "Even though the secret treasure is not available, it doesn't mean that there can be no other gains. There are always some treasures that are actually there, right in front of everyone, but most people ignore it. That's it."
"What else can you gain?"
Tang Jie smiled: "Think for yourself, Yiyi, think about it. The information is in the story, and it depends on whether you can find it. Don't worry, you have enough time to think."
"Huh, I don't think about it." Yi Yi turned her head angrily, "You are a student of the academy. The fairy teacher tells you everything. Of course you understand. I can't guess what's so strange."
Tang Jie Youyou replied: "The masters do tell this story when they are teaching, but do you think the stories they tell are so cruel and so direct? No, they will polish and embellish, making everyone think, All this is the demon tiger's own self-conceit. So the version I am talking about is not the academy version, but..."
"That big brother Xu?" Yiyi took it very cleverly.
Tang Jie's eyes dimmed.
After a long time, he finally said: "The story is left by Brother Xu, but the information can only be found by ourselves. On that Tiger Peak, there are things I need, no matter what... I must get it!"
