Journey to the West Tiger Demon, mortals urge me to ascend the throne

Chapter 1 Who's Talking About Me

The sun is shining.

The land is dry.

Standing in the sun for a little longer, there is a feeling that it is about to be steamed.

It hasn't rained for several days.

The crops in Lijia Village tend to wilt.

Li Jincheng, wearing a square scarf and cloth clothes, stood by the rice field and held up a rice leaf to watch.

Seeing the yellowed and dry part of the leaves, he and the villagers behind him all looked sad.

The day to pay taxes is approaching, if there is another mistake in this batch of harvest, even if they have the money to make up the land tax and small tax, they still have no money to exempt from corvee.

The officials of this era do not follow the rules.

If you can't pay the money, your service time will probably change from one month to several months.

If you don't go to work in the fields for a few months, you can only rely on the old and weak women and children at home.

If there is another mistake in the coming year, it will become an endless loop.

Debt is mounting.

How do you live these days?
They either sell the fields, or send their children to be scholars or rich families as tenants or servants.Otherwise, they are monks, Taoist priests or something.Otherwise, there is really no way out.

Li Jincheng is the tribute of Lijia Village.

All the tuition and food for these years have been supported by the whole village of Lijia Village.

Everyone just hopes that one day Li Jincheng will be able to pass the examination of scholar, and then the people in the village will transfer the land to his name to exempt from taxation.

It's a pity that Li Jin failed the ranking every year.

However, apart from his feeling of guilt and self-blame, the villagers did not blame him, and even questioned him about everything big or small.

Because he was the only scholar in the entire Lijia Village.

"Jincheng, Jincheng, tell me, what should we do?" The village chief asked Li Jincheng with a sad face.There are a few folks and elders next to me.

Li Jincheng's face is also very ugly: "In a few days, I will prepare some gifts and go to the county magistrate's mansion to see if he can say something nice for us in front of the county magistrate, let's be accommodating..."

To qualify for the children's test, a countryman like Li Jincheng with no background can only rely on the county magistrate to nod.

In recent years, Li Jincheng has given gifts a lot, and he can only say a few words.

But with his status, it is absolutely impossible for him to climb up to the county magistrate.

After the village chief heard this, his wrinkled and sad face finally looked a little better: "Then it depends on you to make progress. I will call all the villagers to prepare a gift for you later."

At this moment, a ragged hunter ran out from the forest, "It's bad! It's bad! It's bad!! There are monsters in the mountains! Cuihua and her younger sister Yangyang both Caught up the mountain by monsters!!"

Orion ran and shouted.

He fell down several times during the period, but he immediately got up and ran again regardless of his injuries.

The busy villagers came to Li Jincheng one by one when they heard the movement here.

More and more people gathered to watch the excitement.

Not long after, Orion ran up to Li Jincheng and the others, out of breath.

Seeing that Orion was so flustered, the village chief was also anxious: "What's going on?"

Orion panted heavily, and said word by word: "The three yellow tigers, white deer, and black sheep that often hang out in the mountains, all... all become spirits!! Cuihua and her sister were all captured! "

The voice just fell.

The villagers were in an uproar!
The three yellow tigers, white deer, and black sheep that often stay together are known to almost everyone in the Li family village.

A few years ago, some hunters saw a young yellow tiger and a young black sheep growing up with a young white deer drinking the milk of a doe.

Naturally, this kind of anecdote quickly spread throughout the Li Family Village.

But what everyone didn't expect was that the main character of their funny stories would now become a monster!
You know, since they were young, they have been instilled by relatives, friends, officials, priests, monks, and various myths and stories that monsters are representatives of "bad and evil".

Now that the monsters are so close to them, how can they not be nervous or afraid?
At this time, a young woman squeezed out from the crowd. Her steps were flickering and she had to be supported to squeeze out: "Cuihua~Yangyang~What's wrong with my two daughters?"

Everyone looked at Orion in unison: "She...the two of them were caught up the mountain by the tiger demon..."

When the young woman heard this, she almost fainted.

Or did Li Jincheng catch the point: "You mean, the tiger demon just captured them and didn't hurt them?"

The young woman regained her spirit in an instant.

Orion nodded, then shook his head.

"Tell me quickly! What's going on?"

"The person is not dead, but I guess it will be soon. I saw Yang Yang escaped from the cave crying with my own eyes, crying so desolately! But she was quickly captured by the tiger demon. Then A few monsters are probably going to attack them. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and hid, otherwise I might not be able to come back."

After Orion finished speaking, he was still afraid for a while.

It can be seen from his performance how terrifying the situation was at that time.

How terrifying is the tiger demon.

The villagers were in an uproar again.

Three aunts and six wives, chattering all over the place.

"Hey, it's so pitiful, Yang Yang is only three years old, and he just disappeared..."

"There is also Cuihua, who is cute and sensible... hey~"

"It's true that misfortunes never come singly. The man was arrested and sent to serve in the military. There has been no news for a year. Now the two children..."

The young woman finally couldn't help crying and knelt down in front of Li Jincheng, holding his commoner clothes: "Jincheng! Jincheng! Please! We must find a way to save Cuihua and Yangyang! They are not dead yet! Please!" Find a way to save them~ woo woo woo~"

Li Jincheng's mood was complicated and heavy.

Over the years, the village raised him and raised him, and he blamed himself very much for failing to be a scholar and returning to the village.

Now the village is facing various desperate situations, and there is nothing he can do.

The guilt and shame that had been suppressed in my heart for a long time suddenly exploded completely at this moment!

He helped the young woman up, and resolutely shouted to the villagers: "Listen everyone! The tiger demon can capture Cuihua and Yangyang today, and everyone in our village tomorrow! Instead of living in the shadow of the tiger demon for a long time Next, it’s better to go up the mountain to fight with them while they are just in shape!! If we win, we will eat tiger meat and sell tiger skin! This year’s tax, the whole village will not have to worry anymore! If we lose, it’s a big deal After 18 years, he is a hero again!"

After hearing this, the more the villagers talked about it, the more reasonable they felt.

The fire in my heart is getting stronger and stronger!
I don't know who took the lead to say: "Kill the tiger demon...kill the tiger demon!"

The momentum of the villagers was instantly ignited.

"Kill the tiger demon!"

"Kill the tiger demon! Kill the tiger demon!"

When Li Jincheng raised his hand, all the villagers fell silent: "Listen everyone! Now all the middle-aged people go home to get tools, and then come back here to gather! We will go up the mountain to kill the tiger demon today!"

The villagers responded one after another, and then left aggressively.

At this time, the village chief anxiously pulled Li Jincheng's arm: "Oh, Jincheng! You can't go! You are the hope of our Lijia Village. What should we do if something happens to you?"

Li Jincheng bowed his hands to the sky: "The village chief, as the saying goes, Confucius said to be benevolent, and Meng said to be righteous! Everyone has taken care of me for so many years. How can I, Li Jincheng, choose to back down when the village is in crisis!"

The village chief wanted to say something, but Li Jincheng interrupted: "Village chief, you don't need to persuade me anymore! I've made up my mind!"

It didn't take long before the villagers came back here with hoes or big forks and various agricultural tools.

Li Jincheng led a group of middle-aged men up the mountain with high spirits.

"Kill the tiger demon!"

"Kill the tiger demon!"

"Kill the tiger demon!"

……

at the same time.

In an old forest deep in the mountains, there is a cave halfway up the mountain.

Zhao Lei, who was wearing a tiger's head, sneezed: "Ha Chirp! Who's talking about me?"

And the little girl kneeling in front of him, who was short and teary, was Yang Yang.

"What are you looking at?! Why are you so stupid? You haven't learned it after teaching for so long! Follow me and keep reading! Human beings are inherently kind."

"People are inherently good..."
