"So, the Daoer Sect is very powerful?" asked the old hunter.
"It's not the Daoer Sect, it's the Daoist Sect." Qi Wu corrected the old hunter's accent.
"We will go to Qinghuai County tomorrow, then we will write a letter and send it to the five major immortal sects, asking them to take action." Qi Wu asked about the process when he met Dai Bufan.
At that time, he was still sighing that the local officials with little cultivation were so high and mighty, but he didn't expect that the immortal disciples who were not in the mortal world were more approachable.
However, Qi Wu did not know Dai Bufan's status in the Wendao Sect and only thought he was an ordinary disciple of the immortal sect.
If one really knew Dai Bufan's identity and cultivation level, I'm afraid it would be more than just a simple sigh of admiration.
The old hunter was overjoyed and quickly thanked Qi Wu and the others. He even said that if they could really defeat the tiger monster, he would not even ask for travel expenses. Qi Wu quickly said no.
It’s not that they don’t want to save money, but they don’t know whether the old hunter is speaking for fun or sincerely.
"I'm sorry, I encountered heavy rain while on the road. Can I stay here for one night?"
A graceful figure broke through the rain curtain. She was wearing a green lotus skirt and there was a hint of sadness between her brows, which made people involuntarily want to agree to her request.
Everyone turned to look at A Yue. They said there was a female ghost and it really came. Is your mouth blessed
"No!" Qi Wu immediately rejected the blue-clothed girl's request.
There was no village or shop nearby, and such a beautiful woman suddenly appeared in the deep mountains and forests. Considering what the old hunter had just said, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
The most important thing is that this girl in green is dry!
It's raining so heavily outside that it seems like God is pouring water on it. How can it be dry
The girl in blue was slightly annoyed, thinking that these people looked like they were educated, but what they said was quite rude.
"You are so unreasonable. Not to mention that this mountain temple has no owner, you are just taking shelter here. It's raining heavily outside now. Do you expect me to keep casting spells to keep out the rain?!"
"Fashu, are you a cultivator?" Qi Wu spoke carefully. Most cultivators treat mortals gently, but if they are really angered, there is no telling what the other party may do.
He hesitated.
The old hunter was determined. With his years of experience living in the mountains, he felt that there must be something wrong with the girl in green. His tone was much more tactful: "Master monk, you are a monk, and a woman. It is not good for you to live in the same temple with eight of us men."
"Well, there is a mountain road heading north. Halfway up the mountain road there is a temporary wooden house built by us hunters. This distance is only a few steps away for a master like you."
The old hunter did not lie, there was indeed a wooden house there, but it could not accommodate so many people, so he brought Qi Wu and others to the mountain temple to take shelter from the rain.
The girl in green thought about it and felt that what the old hunter said made sense. She was just a woman, and although she was not particular about trivial matters when traveling around the world, why should she stay in this leaky temple when she had better options
After the girl in green left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, for they were afraid that the girl in green would turn into a tiger with hanging eyes and eat them.
"Okay, let's all go to sleep. Even if we get enough sleep, we still have to get up early tomorrow to travel. I really don't want to come to this damn place a second time." Qi Wu yawned, his eyelids fighting each other, and he was too sleepy to open his eyes.
Qi Wu originally wanted to sleep with his head facing inwards, so that he would be facing the statue of the mountain god. He always felt that there was something wrong with the statue of the mountain god, so he didn't dare to get too close to it. He could only let everyone sleep with their heads facing the door.
After arranging two people to keep watch at night, everyone fell asleep.
After everyone fell asleep, the mountain god statue's eyes turned and looked down, staring at everyone.
No one noticed.
…
A Yue yawned, his eyes blurry, as if he was about to fall asleep at any moment. He and another person were on their first night shift.
"I'm so sleepy. I want to sleep."
"Be patient, you heard it too, this mountain is not safe..."
"Yes, I can't sleep. I'm still waiting for the female ghost to attack me at night."
"You're average looking. Didn't you read in the book that female ghosts like handsome guys? You should attack me at night."
"Ghost girls like scholars. You have only read a few days of books. Ghost girls like people like me who are well-read in the books of sages."
The two men quarreled quietly over the imaginary female ghost, and became more and more excited as they talked.
Suddenly a low roar was heard. Even the rain and thunder could not block the roar. The two men shivered suddenly.
Just when the two were wondering if they were hallucinating, another low roar was heard, closer!
"It's that tiger demon!" The two looked at each other and saw each other's fear.
"Everyone get up, there is a monster!" A Yue shouted hurriedly.
Everyone woke up from their sleep, gripped their weapons tightly, stared outside the temple, cold sweat broke out on their foreheads, and their legs were shaking.
The roar disappeared, replaced by heavy breathing, from which it was easy to imagine how huge the other party was.
A shadow appeared in the rain, and it grew bigger and bigger. Everyone became nervous and trembling with fear.
An extremely huge tiger head passed through the rain and stretched towards the mountain temple. Qi Wu could even see every strand of the tiger's hair clearly!
The tiger demon walked into the temple with its entire body, making everyone's backs sweat. It turned out to be a four-meter-long tiger!
The tiger demon exerted force on its hind legs and actually stood up!
"Old Sun, what should we do now?" Qi Wu asked in a low voice. This tiger demon could not be defeated by the wooden sticks in their hands.
Unexpectedly, the old hunter walked straight towards the tiger demon, bowed and said, "Please have a meal, Tiger King."
"Well, well done." The tiger demon spoke in human language, and it was unknown how high his cultivation level was.
Qi Wu's eyes were filled with anger and he wished he could tear the old hunter to pieces with his bare hands.
The girl in green is not a ghost, but the old hunter who has always been by their side!
The tiger demon showed a human smile and said sarcastically: "Originally, I didn't want to eat you. After all, there are too many of you. If you all died, it might attract attention from the outside world. But there is no way. You actually want to tell the five major immortal sects about my affairs, so I can't let you stay!"
As he spoke, the tiger demon pinned the old hunter with one claw and said, "And you, you never change your habit of talking too much. You insist on telling some story and want me to end it. Do you want me to kill you again?"
The old hunter begged for mercy again and again, saying that he would not dare to do it again next time.
The tiger demon snorted: "You have done a great job in driving that female cultivator away. Since your merits and demerits offset each other, I will not punish you this time!"
The tiger demon had no habit of playing with its prey. It looked at Qi Wu carefully, and a hoarse sound came from its throat, as if it was holding a mouthful of phlegm. "You are the smartest one here. If you are willing to be under my command, I can refine you into a ghost, neither dead nor alive."
At this point, Qi Wu was no longer afraid. He pointed at the old hunter and sneered, "If you continue to harm people like him, you might as well die! Ugh!"
"If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the penalty wine!" The tiger demon had never been insulted like this before, and he immediately flew into a rage. Waves of sound spread out, shaking the roof of the temple as if it would collapse.
The tiger demon stopped trying to persuade them, opened its bloody mouth and pounced on everyone. Qi Wu closed his eyes, waiting for death to come.
At this moment, a gentleman's sword was placed between the tiger demon and Qi Wu. The sword light burst out, like the early morning sun, extremely dazzling, and cut the tiger demon's cheek.
"Who!?" the tiger demon was furious.
"Your mountain god grandfather!"
