I was forced to cultivate immortality when I just wanted to lie down

Chapter 134 The Love Between Man and Tiger

"Tiger demon? Could this be the tiger in the Tiger Temple?"

Xu Qing put his fist down and stood up, looking at the big hole outside the incense hall with some suspicion.

He thought that the tiger demons these days were malnourished or something. If someone didn't know, they would think they were trying to scam him!

At this time, Sun Erzhuang stammered, "But, maybe it's Biao?"

"Biao?" Xu Qing looked surprised.

Sun Erzhuang was obviously still in shock and he didn't know how to explain.

After thinking about it, he said that his mother was killed by a leopard, and later the donkey was eaten by a leopard, and now the leopard is going to eat him.

"Fight it if you can, sir. If you can't, sir, just run away! I have a lot of meat on me, and if it eats me and fills its belly, maybe it won't chase you anymore."

Xu Qing turned his head and looked at the fat man who was ready to die.

The fat man was obviously trembling with fear, but he still walked up to him.

"Just stay here and keep vigil for your mother. As for this tiger demon..."

"I have a tailor at home, so I can take it home and make a tiger-skin skirt."

When Sun Erzhuang heard this and looked at Xu Qing's nonchalant expression, he knew that he had met a master.

"I will listen to you, sir. However, the tiger demon is very vicious, so please be careful."

Here, Xu Qing, a zombie with nearly five hundred years of Taoist practice and the headmaster of the Cat Fairy Hall, as well as the most people-friendly funeral director in Linhe's funeral industry, has already walked out of the incense hall.

The weed-covered temple courtyard looked even more messy due to the rain.

At this time, the skinny tiger was lying quietly in the yard, and the gurgling blood was blurred by the rain, forming a "winding river".

When Xu Qing was a few steps away from Shouhu, he suddenly stopped.

The whites of his eyes were swallowed by ink, and his dark pupils reflected the thick bloody murderous aura of the skinny tiger.

Xu Qing raised his eyebrows, his sleeves trembled, and the diamond knuckles in his hand had been replaced with plum-colored needlework.

He is a kind-hearted person and cannot bear to see small animals get hurt, especially on such a cold and rainy night.

Xu Qing's wrist trembled, and the plum blossom needle filled with cold poison shone with a matte luster, piercing through the rain curtain and stabbing straight into the skinny tiger.

The next moment, the skinny tiger, who had stopped breathing, suddenly jumped up from the ground. He looked so lively that he didn't look like a dead thing at all!
Xu Qing sighed when he saw this. He was truly a miracle doctor, and even a miracle doctor might not be able to do this any better.
Shouhu, who had been in a rage for a long time, finally spoke for the first time.

"You despicable villain, just like that old woman. I will remember you and I will come to settle the score with you one day!"

After Shouhu said this, he turned around and tried to escape from the temple.

But before he could take a few steps, the skinny tiger collapsed to the ground, staggering.

Xu Qing twitched the corners of his mouth.

This demon tiger was even bolder than Sun Erzhuang. Even when the poison needle pierced his body, he didn't even look at it.

Do you really think his needle is an embroidery needle?

Xu Qing rolled up his sleeves, hooked his ten fingers, and dragged the skinny tiger's body into the incense hall.

In order not to damage the tiger's skin, the four red lines he shot out were nailed exactly three inches away from the tiger demon's limbs.

Although this tiger demon is thin, its skin is shiny and smooth. It would be a pity if it were damaged.

"First, sir, this beast is still breathing!"

Sun Erzhuang looked at the tiger in the hall and was terrified.

The tiger is so thin, it must have been hungry for a long time. If the opponent recovers, it might really eat him up!
"What, are you scared?"

Xu Qing took out the Si Nan Sword, handed it to Sun Erzhuang, and said, "This tiger killed your mother. Now that the enemy is right in front of you, you can end its life here to comfort your mother's spirit in heaven."

When Sun Erzhuang heard this, the fear in his heart was immediately replaced by resentment.

He took the Sinan Sword, his eyes wide open, breathing heavily, and walked towards the demon tiger step by step.

Seeing this, the demon tiger raised its head with great effort, as if it was drunk, and said something with its big tongue sticking out -

"We are from the same mother, you can't kill me."

Brothers and sisters from the same mother? Xu Qing was stunned.

Even Sun Erzhuang, whose eyes were blinded by hatred, stopped.

"Who are you and I from the same mother? I am a human, you are a tiger. If you killed my mother, I will kill you!"

Sun Erzhuang paused for a moment, then grasped the sword again and was about to stab the demon tiger's neck!
However, at this critical moment, a voice suddenly came from outside the incense hall with its door wide open.

"He is indeed your brother."

Xu Qing glanced sideways and saw a lame man walking in from the palace gate.

The big man in yellow had conspicuous claw marks on his exposed chest, deep enough to see the bone.

There was also blood oozing from the other person's legs.

"What nonsense are you talking about! My mother is a human, and I am a human too. How could I have a demon brother?" Sun Erzhuang obviously recognized the other party. He looked at the big man in yellow with some displeasure.

The big man was silent for a moment, then said, "You not only have a younger brother, but also an older brother."

"You probably don't know my name yet. My last name is Guan Dazhuang."

In front of the dying Skinny Tiger, Sun Erzhuang was thinking about life.

He felt like he was dreaming. In fact, his mother was not dead and his donkey was alive and well. Otherwise, how could such incredible words come into his ears?

On the side, Xu Qing used his Yin Pupil to look at the big man in yellow, and saw the shadow of a strong tiger appear behind him.

Combining with what the big man said, Xu Qing subconsciously turned his head and looked at Sun Erzhuang beside him.

The Yin pupil can see through the nine netherworlds and see the evil. No matter it is the realm of gods or ghosts, or the changes of demons and ghosts, it can get a glimpse of their true appearance.

At this moment, Xu Qing observed Sun Erzhuang carefully, but did not find any signs of evil. He was just an ordinary fat man.

"This person is evil and cunning. He is also a tiger demon. Don't listen to his nonsense!"

After saying that, Xu Qing turned to look at the big man in yellow and said with a smile, "You said your name is Guan Dazhuang? According to you, then the name of this skinny tiger should be Guan Sanzhuang."

"Don't you think this is true, Sanzhuang?"

Xu Qing kicked Shouhu.

The latter panted softly, closed his eyes and did not answer.

At this time, the large man in yellow at the door shook his head and said, "His name is not Guan Sanzhuang, but Guan Xiaohu, a tiger cub raised by Guan Huapo herself." After a pause, the large man in yellow sighed and said, "I was also a tiger cub from Laotai Mountain. It was Guan Huapo who raised me. This temple was originally mine, too. What a pity."

Xu Qing's hand holding the needle in his sleeve paused, as if he had inadvertently heard something extraordinary.

Sun Erzhuang, who was standing next to him, was confused. How could a simple incident of a tiger injuring someone suddenly turn into a complicated ethical drama?
The fat man subconsciously touched the fat on his body and thought to himself, could it be that he is also a tiger, but he has been kept in the dark?
The big man in yellow sighed softly and told everything he knew.

After listening to what the other party said, Xu Qing finally understood something.

Guan Huapo was originally a fortune teller, and most fortune tellers would use the technique of summoning gods and spirits, which was no different from a shaman disciple.

Those invited immortals and gods were not real immortals and gods, but immortals like Hu Huang Bai Liu Bei. As for the gods, they were some monsters and spirits.

Guan Huapo was a different person. Although she was a girl, she had liked animals like tigers and big beasts since she was a child. Later, for some reason, she actually picked up a little tiger.

This little tiger is Guan Dazhuang, the big man in yellow in front of him.

Guan Dazhuang grew up with Guan Huapo. The man and the tiger look like a spirit medium and an immortal, but they are more like mother and son.

Guan Huapo was a fortune teller who knew how to set up a temple. Twenty miles away from Guanmen Village, there happened to be a tiger temple that had incense but no deity.

Such a ready-made temple is a good place that you can’t find even with a lantern.

So Guan Huapo used this temple as a place to raise tigers.

Nearly ten years later, the incense offerings at the Tiger Temple reached an unprecedented level.

As for why it was so prosperous, it was because the area within a radius of 200 miles around Laotai Mountain became Guan Dazhuang's territory.

Whenever bandits entered the territory, Guan Dazhuang would drive them away. If he encountered injured hunters or villagers injured in the wild, he would carry them back to the village.

In this way, the Tiger Temple attracted incense from hundreds of miles around.

Sometimes, people from thousands of miles away came here to worship the Buddha. Even the local county magistrate was moved by his kindness and specially ordered the temple to be repaired and went there in person to burn incense and worship.

It would have been fine if the days had passed so uneventfully, but at this moment, a disaster struck the north and many refugees fled to Tianjin.

Perhaps some refugees had heard that the Mountain God Temple was efficacious and that many kind-hearted people came here, so they threw their baby outside the temple gate.

Guan Huapo was a virgin and should not have taken in the child, but she felt that the child was destined to be with her, just like Da Zhuang who was abandoned at the beginning, so she should adopt him.

Just like that, the young Guan Huapo became a witch. When people around heard about it, and because of the influence of her identity as a witch, no one was willing to marry her.

When Sun Erzhuang was one year old, Guan Huapo went to the sheep pen to milk the ewe, but she saw a skinny little tiger under her body.

The tiger was very ferocious. When it was drinking milk, it seemed as if it wanted to swallow the ewe as well.

Guan Huapo was happy and thought that this was a good thing arranged by God for her, otherwise why would the little tiger find her home instead of going anywhere else.

Guan Huapo still doesn't know that the little tiger was actually brought here by Guan Dazhuang.

Inside the incense hall, Guan Dazhuang regretted, "Guan Xiaohu was a cub abandoned by its mother. He wasn't originally from Mount Laotai, but I found him in a wild valley while hiking in the mountains."

"Later, the disaster became more and more serious. The tiger needed blood food to nourish it, but Guan Huapo couldn't keep it alive, so I hunted for her and brought back blood food to feed the tiger cub."

"But after this bastard learned to hunt, he actually brought back a child."

Xu Qing listened quietly until he heard Guan Huapo expelling Guan Xiaohu from the house. He couldn't help but say, "This evil tiger killed a person, and it was just a child. According to human rules, it would not be too much to pay for it with its own life.

But Guan Huapo only exiled it and didn't hurt it at all, so where did it get the resentment to bite its adoptive mother and brothers to death?"

Guan Dazhuang shook his head and said, "Who knows? People say that when a tiger cub is abandoned, it will feel unbalanced and harbor a lot of resentment. It was abandoned by its biological mother once, and now it has been kicked out of the house. Maybe it holds a grudge in its heart because of this."

As soon as Guan Dazhuang finished speaking, Shouhu, who had been lying on the ground with his eyes closed and silent, suddenly spoke.

"I brought her some blood food with good intentions as a reward, but she chased me away without asking any questions. Ultimately, she's just partial and only likes you and this fat guy!"

Guan Dazhuang said angrily, "What are you talking about! How could Godmother be partial? Not to mention that it was you who killed someone, even if it was me or Erzhuang who killed someone, Godmother would not forgive me!"

Shouhu was silent for a moment, then suddenly said, "Who said I bit that kid to death?"

Guan Dazhuang was stunned for a moment, then he heard Shouhu sneer, "The child was strangled to death and was about to be thrown into the pot to be stewed, but I kidnapped him."

"She only said not to kill anyone, but she never said not to eat anyone."

At this point, Shouhu seemed a little tired. He closed his eyes and said in an inexplicable tone: "Those people are eating people, but she eats vegetarian food all day long. What's wrong with me carrying a person back?"

"You!" Guan Dazhuang widened his eyes and panted like a cow. He wanted to say something, but in the end it all turned into curse words.

"What's the point of saying all this, you bastard? Now you've eaten so many people and bitten your godmother to death, and you still think you're not wrong?"

On the side, Xu Qing frowned as he listened. It was only because he was not a living person, otherwise his blood pressure would have been unable to stop rising and falling.

Even if these furry and horned birds and beasts have awakened their intelligence, their way of thinking is very different from that of humans.

Guan Xiaohu was abandoned by his mother since childhood and was extremely unbalanced mentally. Perhaps it was a mistake for Guan Huapo to take him in in the first place.

However, compared to Guan Xiaohu, who has an extreme temperament, Xu Qing is more interested in the big man in yellow.

According to Guan Dazhuang, it was also picked up by Guan Huapo, but it did not show any abnormal behavior.

Xu Qing looked at the drama before him that included elements of human-animal and family ethics, and felt that this trip was not in vain.

But watching the show is watching the show, and he still has to do what he has to do.

"Er Zhuang, are you still going to kill him? If you are reluctant, I will do it myself."

Public matters are public matters, private matters are private matters, Xu Qingke will always remember the revenge of Guan Xiaohu for attacking him.

Sun Erzhuang came to his senses instantly after hearing this. He held the Sinan sword in both hands, raised it high, and was about to drop it on the skinny tiger's neck.

Guan Xiaohu opened his eyes wide, and a strong tiger aura surged out, shocking Sun Erzhuang's mind.

However, at this moment, strange voices suddenly sounded in the incense hall.

"Little Tiger, Little Tiger"

The voice was like that of a blind old woman, groping her way at the entrance of the village, calling her playful grandson to come home for dinner.

Xu Qing frowned and looked, and saw the figure of an old lady on the coffin where Guan Huapo's body was placed.

In the incense hall, Guan Xiaohu, who was lying facedown on the ground, froze all over, and the murderous look in his eyes instantly disappeared.

It stammered, but in the end said nothing and just closed its eyes.

Sun Erzhuang seemed unable to hear Guan Huapo's voice. After he got rid of the influence of the evil spirit, he roared and the sword in his hand fell on Guan Xiaohu's neck.

The tiger skin was as tough as iron. Sun Erzhuang's neck turned red, but he couldn't stab him. Xu Qing was stunned for a moment when he saw this scene. Just as he was about to lend a hand, he saw a lot of tiger hair growing on the back of Sun Erzhuang's hand. The next moment, a tiger roar was sounded, and the Sinan Sword broke through the tiger skin defense and went straight through the skinny tiger's neck.

Xu Qing felt something in his heart. He looked up and saw that the big man in yellow had his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

It turned out that it was the Tiger King who possessed the body and helped Sun Erzhuang kill the demon tiger.
