32. Rituals
"Whew"
Xu Xiaofei flew out of the distance for a while before he stopped to catch his breath.
Fortunately, no one chased after him, and his life was still there.
Xu Xiaofei saved his life and began to regret it again. I couldn't get a glimpse of the man's face...... We can only wait for a later opportunity.
The other person who closed his consciousness was also inexplicably familiar. That person's power was too strong, Xu Xiaofei was actually faintly afraid in his heart, but in addition to fear, he also wanted to be close to him. And sympathize with him and want to share his pain.
Xu Xiaofei didn't know why he had such a complicated relationship with him.
Maybe it's all related to your lost memories.
If I have a chance, I really hope to make friends with that person!
Of course, Xu Xiaofei didn't forget that both of them were from the Demon Sect.
The Demon Sect is not full of traitors and evildoers, and these two don't look like each other at first glance. But it seems that every time someone from the Demon Sect shows up, something bad happens immediately.
Could it be that this white tiger attack is also their ghost?
Xu Xiaofei thought about it and shook his head again.
The legend of the white tiger was handed down many years ago, and this time, the people in the village did not notice anything unusual, so this should have nothing to do with them...... I hope so.
If the Demon Sect really gets involved, I don't know how much trouble it will have.
The sky was bright.
The clouds and mist floating above the mountains had dissipated at some point, and as far as the eye could see, far away.
Xu Xiaofei discerned the direction and flew towards Baihu Village.
Hey, isn't that Lu Zhifeng?
After flying for a while, he saw an acquaintance in the mountain forest below.
He didn't go to rest, what did he secretly come to do in this wild forest?
Lu Zhifeng didn't change his clothes, he was still dressed up last night, carrying a pot of wine in his hand, and carrying a large branch of blooming osmanthus flowers, as if he was going to have a private meeting with someone.
Xu Xiaofei was thinking about it just now, and he couldn't figure it out, but he didn't have time to come out of the Hidden Trace Tower. Since he bumped into Lu Zhifeng, he simply couldn't shrink out, and quietly embellished it.
He has always been reckless, and he is not ashamed of stalking others.
Not long after, he had followed Lu Zhifeng, who was walking alone, into a hidden valley.
It is hidden because this valley is quite narrow, with huge rocks above it and towering trees, which are difficult to find when looking down from the air.
The valley looks like a brick and stone altar.
There is a walkway leading to the altar, and on both sides of the path, there are statues on both sides. These statues have different appearances and lifelike expressions.
On the altar at the end of the trail, there is also a tall stone statue of the god: a handsome young man with a giant tiger lying at his feet. This should be the ancestor of the White Tiger Village, and his White Tiger friend.
Although the white tiger betrayed him, when he erected the statue, he carved it out and stayed with him for a long time.
Xu Xiaofei watched Lu Zhifeng go to worship the ancestor first, then walked back to the other end of the trail and stopped in front of a statue at the end.
His wine, flowers, and fresh fruits in the Qiankun bag seemed to be given to this man.
He was cautious in his actions to place the tribute, and he was a little more careful when facing his ancestors.
When he was done, he got up again and looked at the statue in front of him.
Suddenly, he stretched out his hand and stroked the face that was still cold and stiff although it was portrayed quite vigorously.
"Big brother, you wait," his eyes were gentle, but his words were full of determination, "I will definitely get the first warrior this time and stand in the same position as you...... You've been waiting for me for forty years, and you miss me so much? I miss you so much, and I can't wait. β
"Forty years...... It's already too long, too long. β
Lu Zhifeng muttered to himself alone at the silent statue.
"Even though I've been immersed in sword skills for the past forty years, trying to improve my realm, and have no time to be distracted by other things, I sometimes feel that life is too difficult...... Day by day, waiting for the white tiger to appear, this day is really too tormenting...... Fortunately, it's almost over. I can sense that the power of that white tiger has been mostly gone, and tonight is its time of death. β
He sighed softly. It was a sigh of joy.
"Big brother...... Will you be surprised that I have grown a lot when we meet again this time? I have been following in your footsteps, and maybe now I already have the strength to compete with you! If you are not convinced, we might as well compete again, and we will never need you to give me water again. β
He whispered something in front of the stone statue again. Xu Xiaofei couldn't hear clearly.
He could only hear that Lu Zhifeng's voice was getting lower and lower, and it was getting more and more charming.
Where is it like a brother should say to his brother.
-- is the love story of an infatuated person.
Xu Xiaofei listened to what he said word for word.
He couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
From this point of view, Brother Rong is probably hopeless...... However, since Brother Rong has no hope, Brother Wei still has hope.
Originally, he felt that Brother Wei was a little different from Brother Rong. Of course, Brother Wei is also very good to him, maybe because of his young age, he is extra tolerant, but his kindness to Rong Han is another kind of good.
It turned out that it was not obvious, but as soon as Lu Zhifeng appeared, he could see it by pretending to be blind.
Xu Xiaofei sighed in his heart, and suddenly came to his senses.
- Wait, what else did Lu Zhifeng say just now?
Soon it would be time for him and his eldest brother to meet, he said. His eldest brother Lu Zhilin, there is only one stone statue left, it seems that he has passed away, does every "first warrior" of Baihu Village have to die?
That seems a little weird...... I think he guessed wrong.
"Big brother, we're going to meet soon, so I'll go first and go back to practice. Lu Zhifeng lingered in front of the stone statue for a while and said softly.
Xu Xiaofei hid in the Hiding Tower, watching him turn around and leave.
Knife practice?
Now that he can peek into Lu Zhifeng's unique sword technique, he seems to be deeply immersed in this way.
But Xu Xiaofei peeked at other people's words and actions, and did it, this kind of behavior similar to stealing teachers is a little embarrassing.
So Xu Xiaofei didn't move.
After waiting for a while, until he could no longer sense Lu Zhifeng's breath, he flew out of the tower.
Always staying in the tower, it's a little stuffy.
Xu Xiaofei also landed in front of the statue and looked at the face.
It seems that it is indeed somewhat similar to Lu Zhifeng...... It's just that his eyebrows and eyes are more delicate, and his expression is gentle, which is not quite what he imagined.
A fresh breeze blew.
The fruit that was neatly stacked at the foot of the stone statue was blown off and rolled aside.
He had never seen this kind of vermilion fresh fruit, perhaps a specialty of the mountains.
"What kind of fruit is this?" Xu Xiaofei muttered, "It seems to be delicious." β
He bent down to pick it up, ready to put the fruit back in its place.
"Roarβ"
Xu Xiaofei's movements froze.
When he turned around, he saw a huge white tiger, staring at him coldly.
The dark blue tiger eyes, even in the daytime, are still glowing, a cold light that makes people palpitate.
Didn't this white tiger go back to the cave, how could it appear here?
Don't...... At that time, he was frightened away by the people of the Demon Sect, and accidentally leaked his breath, so that the white tiger chased after him?
It doesn't matter how you followed, what matters is that you are not the opponent of this white tiger at all!
It had been dismissive of itself before, but now, for some reason, it exuded a murderous aura all around it.
"Hey, there's something to say," Xu Xiaofei raised a hand slightly, "You don't have to fight and kill, do you......?"
He took one out of his bag and threw it over.
The white tiger didn't answer, but looked down at the meat lingzhi and was stunned for a moment.
Taking advantage of its stunned kung fu, Xu Xiaofei had already summoned a flying sword and fled with the sword.
Suddenly the roar behind him sounded again.
The flying sword that was speeding under his feet also suddenly stopped.
Xu Xiaofei looked back, facing the tiger's eyes, and suddenly his eyes became confused.
He felt dizzy.
A shadow floated out of the white tiger's deep pupils and fell into his heart.
stirred up an endless whirlpool......
The world is spinning, and the vision is turned upside down.
The mind is gradually lost.
He was like a falcon with broken wings, and one head fell from mid-air.
β¦β¦
One after the other, two figures flew down in the stone pillar forest in front of the White Tiger Village.
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Where did this kid go, and he hasn't come back yet?" Wei Xuanfeng said, "Does he really think he's here to play in the mountains and rivers, little bastard!"
He was not polite, but there was a look of worry between his eyebrows.
As twilight fell, the soldiers in the stockade were all dressed in stubbornness and hid in the stone pillar forest, waiting for tonight's battle.
Xu Xiaofei was still nowhere to be seen, and Wei Rong and the others had been looking for him for a while.
Rong Han comforted: "Brother Xu is good, and he is also clever, so he will be fine if he thinks about it." Maybe it's really a little longer to linger in some nice place with a pleasant view. β
Although the two didn't say anything, they were a little worried in their hearts, did Xu Xiaofei meet the white tiger?
However, it is said that the white tiger is nocturnal and rarely appears during the day......
While the two were talking, Lu Zhifeng walked over.
He didn't rest for a day and a night, but he was still in good spirits.
The long knife hung diagonally from his waist, and his person was like an unsheathed knife, sharp and cold.
He said, "Hasn't that Brother Xu come back yet?"
Rong Han nodded.
Lu Zhifeng said: "Maybe he is just lost, there are no particularly powerful demon beasts in this mountain forest, and he can still deal with it with his skills." β
He glanced at the two of them, and said, "It's getting late, so I won't urge you to leave." Please go back to the village and rest, the white tiger will be killed tonight, and it doesn't matter if you want to stay as long as you want. β
"Brother Lu, what are you talking about?" Rong Han said, "Of course I want to stay and fight against you together." β
Wei Xuanfeng said: "He wants to stay, and I will be with him." β
Lu Zhifeng was still cold and indifferent, and he didn't appreciate it.
"As I said, it is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere in this war. Please come back, wait for me to triumph, and then come to toast and make amends to you!"
"You ......"
The anger that Wei Xuanfeng suppressed in his heart almost broke out again.
But suddenly he saw a man. Surprised, he immediately forgot about this anger.
"Stinky boy, I finally know that I'm back? Xiao Rong and I have been looking for you for a long time!"
He said to the figure that had fallen from mid-air.
"Brother Xu, fortunately, you are safe and sound. Rong Han also said.
Naturally, it was Xu Xiaofei who came.
Xu Xiaofei did not respond to their greetings.
He originally wore a crown of hair. At this time, the strands of hair fell from his forehead, blocking his eyes. It's hard to see the look on his face.
He landed silently beside the three. Except for the sound of breathing, almost as silent as a puppet.
It's not at all like his usual style. Wei Rong and the others were about to ask what was going on, when he suddenly spoke.
"Get out of the way!"
At the same time, he had already raised his hand and stabbed a sword into Lu Zhifeng's chest.
This sword is really fast, and it is also very ruthless!
Lu Zhifeng was caught off guard, and the other two were even more surprised.
The sword wind stirred up the broken hair in front of Xu Xiaofei's forehead, making them see clearly the eyes that were covered by the messy hairβthey were a dark dark blue color!
It's still glowing.
It's the glow of the green ghost's fire.
It is also the divine light in the eyes of the demonic white tiger.
Fortunately, Lu Zhifeng reacted alertly. He was also extremely experienced in battle, Xu Xiaofei stabbed with a sword, and it was so close that he still barely avoided half an inch.
The tip of the sword, which radiated a chill, slanted through his ribs.
He also drew his sword in his hand. The fierce sword aura spread in an instant.
Xu Xiaofei didn't succeed in a single blow, and his sword spread out, attacking him continuously.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing!" Rong Han was stunned for a moment, and also joined the battle.
It seems that Xu Xiaofei has fallen into some head-lowering technique.
His own consciousness seemed to be blurred, and he couldn't control his actions.
After Xu Xiao flew into the demon, he used the sword technique regardless of it, and his spiritual power seemed to surge a lot.
He didn't even glance at Rong Han and Wei Xuanfeng, and each sword rushed towards Lu Zhifeng.
It seems that he is bent on killing him!
Xu Xiaofei didn't care about his own safety, but the three people who played against him couldn't ignore him, and he didn't dare to put too him.
Restrained, he was forced to be a wolf for a while.
After dozens of moves, Lu Zhifeng saw the right time, slashed out, and stunned him with the back of the knife.
Wei Xuanfeng caught him who had fainted, checked his pulse, probed the breath in his body, and sighed: "This kid was really manipulated by a secret method. β
"Yes? I don't know if he'll wake up from a good night's sleep. "Rong Han Road.
He looked at Lu Zhifeng again.
Lu Zhifeng's face turned pale, and he was supported by him and sat down on the spot.
The wound under his ribs, though not fatal, was severe. His chest was instantly red.
Rong Han said: "I'll apply medicine for you." β
"Thank you. β
He untied Lu Zhifeng's coat, wiped the wound medicine for him, and bandaged it with a strip of cloth. The hand is very gentle and skillful.
After applying the medicine, he said, "I'll help you go back and rest." β
"Go back to rest?" Lu Zhifeng laughed when he heard this, "At this time, how can I go back to rest?"
He took it for granted.
Rong Han was stunned for a moment, and then, with his gentle temper, he also surged with anger.
The anger turned into a thin red and floated on his white cheeks.
"Do you still want to stay and fight the enemy?
"That's right," Lu Zhifeng said, "Even if I don't want this life, I must stay today." β
He suddenly took something out of the Qiankun bag, brought it to his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The action was too fast, and Rong Han didn't have time to stop it.
"You...... What did you eat?"
"It's just a powerful medicine. Lu Zhifeng replied indifferently.
The effect of this elixir is really powerful.
As soon as he took it, his face turned bloody again. Some of the weak breath has also become strong again.
But Rong Han is also an old man. He knew that often such powerful elixirs would cost the user a terrible price - the injury would be healed for a while, but it would also leave a disease in the body that could never be eradicated.
"Why do you do that, I heard, you are for the title of 'First Warrior'...... This title is really worthy of your ......."
Rong Han paused.
He couldn't go on.
It was Lu Zhifeng's body that was damaged, but it seemed to hurt in his heart.
"It's worth it, of course it's worth it. Lu Zhifeng said, "I also said that this matter is more important than my life. You don't understand because you don't understand me at all. β
Rong Han's intentions, Lu Zhifeng actually saw it, but he couldn't respond, so he simply pretended not to know.
Simply, to put it a little colder.
"Really?" Rong Han said in disappointment, "I don't know you well enough...... I really don't understand what you're seeking. β
The look on his face made Wei Xuanfeng unable to stand it anymore.
"Xiao Rong!"
Rong Han shook his head, pursed his lips, quickly put away his dejected look, and suddenly said, "Since that's the case, I won't stop you...... But you can't stop me, I must stay tonight. I will not interfere in your battle with the White Tiger, I will only sweep the battle for you and protect your safety. β
He also spoke as solid as a rock and could not be shaken.
Lu Zhifeng saw that he couldn't convince him, so he sighed and said, "Whatever you want." β
β¦β¦
Xu Xiaofei slowly opened his eyes and looked at the dark beams of the roof.
Where is this? How could he be lying here?
There is still a faint ache all over his body, and he seems to have touched people, but it is not a big problem.
It took him a while to remember.
This is the home of the eldest lady in the White Tiger Village.
He sat up. He could still vividly recall the strange pair of tiger eyes that he saw at the end...... The things that go after are like a veil, like flowers in the moon and water in the mirror, and they can't be distinguished clearly.
Oops! He clenched his fist and slammed the bed.
With his mind lost, it seemed that he had attacked Lu Zhifeng and stabbed someone. I hope Lu Zhifeng doesn't get hurt too much, he has to go and take a look and apologize......
That white tiger manipulated him to hurt people, I'm afraid he was also afraid of Lu Zhifeng's sword technique, and wanted to deal with this big enemy first!
Without Lu Zhifeng, tonight's combat power will indeed be reduced a lot.
Xu Xiaofei got out of bed and got dressed.
From the half-open window, it was already late at night outside, and with his ears, he could still hear the sound of fighting in the distance.
He pushed open the door and walked downstairs, stunned for a moment.
There was a man sitting at the wooden table. It's the lady who makes scallion pancakes very deliciously, she is just shining with an oil lamp and beans, and she is still knitting clothes.
Hearing Xu Xiaofei's footsteps, she turned her head to look.
"Young man, are you awake? It's still early in the morning, so lie down more. β
"No, I'll go out and have a look, and I won't be able to sleep anymore. Xu Xiaofei said, "Auntie, aren't you still sleeping?"
As soon as the words came out, he immediately thought that the eldest mother was only afraid that she was anxiously waiting for her son to come back, where could she sleep peacefully.
After saying a few words to the eldest lady and asking where Lu Zhifeng's house was, Xu Xiaofei walked out.
Strange, he didn't stay in the house to recuperate?
Xu Xiaofei stood in front of the empty and silent small building, stunned for a while.
He vaguely remembered that Lu Zhifeng's injury was not light. If such an injury is still reluctant to fight against the white tiger, it is likely to be almost like sending it to death. However, listening to what he said in front of Lu Zhilin's stone statue, maybe he really wanted to go into battle with injuries......
Xu Xiaofei suddenly came back to his senses, picked up the escape technique, and flew outside the village.
He didn't want Lu Zhifeng to die because of him!
Halfway through the flight, I saw a group of people rushing over.
Most of the people were covered in blood, but their faces were full of joy, and their momentum was quite high.
Hey, that's not-
Xu Xiaofei caught a glimpse of the huge white tiger with satin fur shining and was carried by two strong men one after the other and transported to the gate of the White Tiger Village.
A hideous streak of blood pierced its abdomen and back, almost splitting it in half.
It seems that the white tiger is dead.
There will be a new "first warrior" born in Baihu Village.
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xu. β
Wei Rong and the others had already spotted him, flew out of the crowd, and stopped in front of him.
Rong Han said: "It seems that you are all right?"
Xu Xiaofei said suddenly: "I'm already fine, and I won't cut people indiscriminately." I still have to apologize to Brother Lu and make amends. β
"We know that you made an unintentional mistake, and we have made amends for you," Wei Xuanfeng said, "However, you should really go and make amends for him in person...... Although I don't like him very much!"
He didn't hide his annoyance at Lu Zhifeng.
Xu Xiaofei found Lu Zhifeng in the crowd.
He was surrounded by everyone, talking to others, smiling heartily from time to time, and obviously in a good mood.
When walking, he also walks steadily, and he does not look seriously injured.
Xu Xiaofei was stunned.
He almost suspected that his sword hadn't stabbed him...... But Wei Rong's reaction told him that he was not mistaken.
Ordinary people's recovery will never be so good. Could it be that Lu Zhifeng took some secret medicine in order to heal his injuries?
He stepped forward, clasped his hands into fists, and sincerely apologized.
If he is driven to do so in the future, he will do his best.
Lu Zhifeng waved his hand, as if he didn't hear what he was saying at all, and he didn't care at all.
The villagers who returned from victory were happy and noisy, and Lu Zhifeng seemed to be the biggest hero among them and a recognized hero.
He doesn't seem to take the reverence and praise of others to heart.
His heart has flown far, far away.
His eyes were not looking at the group of people around him.
-- Maybe you're looking beyond the world!
Xu Xiaofei had no choice but to step aside. It seems that he can only find an opportunity to do something for Lu Zhifeng in the future.
I don't know if he still has such a chance.
"They have set up an open-air celebration wine in the village, do you want to go and have a good time together?" Wei Xuanfeng said beside him.
"Good. "Rong Han Road.
"Okay, let's go. I can already smell the smell of wine and meat!" Xu Xiaofei is also okay.
To be honest, he was hungry too.
A pot of wine, a plate of meat, a loaf of bread, whatever it was, he wanted to have a little.
And this celebration wine should be quite rich.
The feast had been set up in the largest open field in the center of the stockade. Bonfires were also lit.
There were spirits, meat roasted to a golden skin, musicians playing the violin, handsome girls and young men singing and dancing in turn.
Three good friends also sat down by the campfire.
People kept coming to toast them, and the villagers of Baihu Village were still quite hospitable.
Lu Zhifeng, who was surrounded by everyone and couldn't get out, actually came to them.
He also gave Rong Han an extra glass.
"This glass of wine, thank you for taking care of the past. If you are free, I will do it first. β
He brought the glass to his lips, tilted his head, and drank it down.
Rong Han also silently drank the wine in the empty cup.
After Lu Zhifeng left, he also sat down again, but there was still a thick fog under his eyes that could not be dissolved.
He seemed to be aware of something, and he felt a little uneasy in his heart, and Xu Xiaofei also saw it.
What did Lu Zhifeng mean by what he said in front of the stone statue?
He felt that he should tell Rong Han, but suing him might only add to his troubles.
Xu Xiaofei swept his eyes and swept to the young man from Baihuzhai who led them home, and he had an idea in his heart.
He got up and walked over to the young man.
There was still the young man's happy aunt sitting on the side, Xu Xiaofei nodded at her with a smile, leaned into the young man's ear, whispered a few words to him, and the two left the open space where the banquet was set up together.
Xu Xiaofei kept taking him to a remote and uninhabited corner.
"Brother Xu, what do you have to tell me?" the young man asked curiously.
Xu Xiaofei said: "I still want to ask you, are you hiding something from us? Lu Zhifeng can be said to be the number one warrior of your White Tiger Village, what will happen to him?"
The young man was taken aback and hurriedly waved his hand: "What will happen...... We have always revered the warriors of our race. β
However, as soon as Xu Xiaofei saw his reaction, he knew that he was not telling the truth.
"Don't fool me, I know he's going to go to a far away place and never see him again, won't you?"
The boy's mouth was open, as if he were frozen.
"You...... How do you know?"
"Really?"
Seeing that his lies were exposed, the young man had no choice but to say honestly: "Brother Xu, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter can't be told to people outside the village." Since you don't know why, you know so much, I'll sue you, don't tell outsiders. β
"Well, don't worry, just say it!"
Xu Xiaofei also made an oath.
The young man said, "Actually...... After each selection of the first warrior, a ceremony is held in which the warrior drinks the blood of the white tiger, eats the flesh of the white tiger, and makes a cloak from the fur of the white tiger...... Because the immortal white tiger has the blood of the immortal god flowing in its body, it has an ancient godhead, and after performing the ritual, the warrior can obtain its power and quickly improve the realm...... Then, soar overnight. The old ancestor who had already become a god sensed it and would come to guide him. β
He said with a bitter face: "You must not tell outsiders about this secret! Let the people outside know the secret of the White Tiger, and the next time the White Tiger appears, it will not be my people's turn." β
"I see...... This method of ascending to immortality is very simple and convenient. If outsiders knew, I don't know how many people would have broken their heads. β
Soaring so easily, I'm afraid that the one who becomes a serious immortal is not a serious immortal, right? Not by virtue of his own strength, but by seizing the power of spirit beasts, there is no lack of precedents for this kind of thing, but most of the immortals who become immortals are the likes of evil gods in the outer way......
Of course, Xu Xiaofei only dared to think about this kind of thing in his heart, and did not dare to say it in front of the young man.
It seems that Lu Zhilin soared more than 40 years ago, and there has been no trace since then, and if Lu Zhifeng wants to catch up with him, he can only try his best to be the "first warrior".
It's not bad that he can get what he wants.
"Okay, don't worry, I swore that I would never say it!" Xu Xiaofei patted the young man's shoulder and said with a smile, "As for myself, I never thought of relying on this method to ascend to immortality." This is your chance for White Tiger Village, and it may not be suitable for me. If Master and Senior Brother know that I don't practice hard and have some sweet dreams of pies falling from the sky, don't discount my legs. β
"Are Brother Xu's masters and senior brothers very strict?" the young man asked with a wink.
"Ahem...... Actually, it's not strict, it's good for me. Xu Xiaofei coughed and said, "It's just that sometimes, I accidentally cause some trouble and make them tired." β
Soon it's going to be a Dao conference, and I don't know how the senior brother's swordsmanship is practicing?
I don't think he'll have a problem!
The senior brother has always been reliable, much more reliable than himself.
It seems that Rong Han should still be informed about this matter.
Lu Zhifeng will disappear after tonight. Brother Rong's heart shouldn't still be hanging there.
He knew Lu Zhifeng's whereabouts and wanted to come...... I'll be happy for him, too. Even if you are unhappy, you will not worry about him.
Xu Xiaofei also sincerely told the young man about this, and with his consent, he released a bronze finch that had been sent to the banquet, and called Rong Han over.
Rong Han also swore a demon oath and listened to the young man tell him about it.
He was silent for a long time before he spoke, "Is it true? No wonder I noticed that something was wrong with him today......
Lu Zhifeng ignored his serious injuries, took forbidden drugs, and reluctantly went into battle, he couldn't agree and couldn't understand.
Thinking about it this way, it is all clear.
Rong Han still smelled of alcohol on his body, and he had obviously drunk a lot of alcohol.
Suddenly, he smiled: "It turns out that the glass of wine he specially toasted me tonight is a farewell wine...... There is no next time, and there is no next glass. β
The young man seemed to see something, and couldn't help but say, "Brother Feng is still having fun with everyone, can you go and talk to him again?"
"No," Rong Han shook his head, stunned for a moment, and shook his head again, "He has nothing else to say to me, I'...... There was nothing to say to him. It's useless to say anything. This shouldn't have been known to us outsiders, so I can't congratulate him, can I?"
It's useless to say anything, what to say...... It's too late.
Back then, his childhood self got lost in the mountains, but he sent himself back to the Rong family.
When he was extremely hungry, Lu Zhifeng caught the fish from the river and grilled it with his own hands, which he still remembers.
After all, it will become an irretrievable memory......
Back at the banquet, Rong Han was still drinking the stuffy wine one by one.
Xu Xiaofei knew that he was quietly watching Lu Zhifeng.
It's the last time.
Wei Xuanfeng didn't know why, Xu Xiaofei didn't want him to ask, and pulled him, you have a cup and I have a cup, and he talked nonsense.
No matter how lively the banquet is, there will be a time when it will end.
The bonfire was extinguished, and only a puddle of cold ash remained. The empty plates were also cleaned up.
Everyone sent their hero, Lu Zhifeng, to a hut outside the village.
This is supposed to be the place where the ceremony takes place.
During the ceremony, no one seems to be allowed to disturb you. Seeing Lu Zhifeng enter the house, everyone left in twos and threes.
The young man who told Xu Xiaofei the truth also said to them eagerly: "Let's go! This is also a rule handed down by the ancestors, if you want to peep, you will be punished by God!"
The three had no choice but to leave.
Damnation? Xu Xiaofei didn't believe it very much. But he couldn't make it difficult for the boy.
He looked back again, at the lonely hut that stood in the middle of the night.
Is Lu Zhifeng really going to soar to immortality?
β¦β¦
There is a large stone case in the room, with a smooth surface that allows people to be seen.
Two bright red candles, one on the left and one on the right, were placed on both sides of the stone case, still burning faintly.
In the center, of course, is the huge body of the white tiger.
Lu Zhifeng pulled out the long knife on his waist, and the tip of the knife shone brightly.
Bloodletting, eating meat, and finally putting half of the peeled white tiger skin on the body......
His hands when he did this qiΔ were steady and skillful.
He is not only an excellent swordsman, but also an excellent hunter, and he has long been familiar with how to deal with the beasts he hunts.
Although the wound on his chest was still aching, he only thought that he had been bitten by a mosquito and didn't pay attention to it at all.
This white tiger was really cunning, and manipulated a person to attack him in advance.
It's a pity that no one can stop what he wants to do.
The blood is very fishy, and the smell of raw meat is stronger. When he wrapped the tiger skin around his body, the strong smell of blood kept pouring into his nose, making it almost impossible to breathe.
Lu Zhifeng didn't care.
These mundane troubles will not leave a trace on his heart at all.
Eldest brother......
I'm going to see you soon!
He felt that the blood in his body seemed to be burning, and the spiritual power in the sea of qi was also swirling feverishly.
The body is gradually filled with power that I couldn't even think of before.
Is he going to soar?
He was merging with the power of the white tiger.
He is the white tiger, and the white tiger is ......
This moment.
A trace of consciousness in the dead flesh and blood of the remaining white tiger drifted into his mind.
He could sense the intermittent thoughts of the white tiger before his death.
How is this possible...... How can it be?!
He jerked his head down and looked at his bloodied hands.
These hands, at some point, have quietly grown hair, and the nails have become sharp, and they have become a pair of tiger claws......
"Ahh
He looked at the "hands" in disbelief.
Suddenly, there was a heart-rending scream.
It turned out to be a scam...... It turns out that a qiΔ is a scam!
Nothing has soared into an immortal, and his beloved eldest brother has never been in the fairy world for a day.
- Just tonight, he was killed by his own hands!
Moreover, he ate meat and drank blood.
Has anyone done ...... to a loved one What is more unconscionable than this?
His consciousness gradually blurred.
When he fell into madness, he could also vaguely perceive that there was a powerful divine consciousness that was eroding him.
It was not that he obtained the power of the White Tiger, but that the White Tiger received a fresh ** sacrifice.
The tiger skin draped on his back has grown along with his back.
"Give me your body. β
A voice urged him like this.
"I know you have a grudge, but this is the fate of the people of Baihu Village. The power of the White Tiger is a burden and a heavy responsibility, and someone must pass it on. β
"Otherwise, something terrible will happen. β
"No...... I absolutely don't accept it!"
Lu Zhifeng suddenly slapped his palm on his chest.
He couldn't live anymore.
He never wants to let such a tragedy re-enact in his descendants.
But he couldn't get it done. Because of that divine sense, he was forcibly stopped.
β¦β¦
"So that's what happened. This custom is really terrifying. β
High in the sky, Shen Jinglan stared at the scene below and said.
"As terrible as it was, none of the victims could speak, because they had all become white tigers. "Lin Yan said.
"Their ancestor, why did he set such a rule?" Shen Jinglan looked at him.
He seemed to be sure that Lin Yan would definitely know.
Lin Yan didn't answer directly, but said, "The sect leader will know if you keep looking down." β
"Boom"
The hut below collapsed, and a white shadow flew out of it.
I'm afraid that in the eyes of the villagers of Baihu Village, it is a vision of Lu Zhifeng's ascension.
Shen Jinglan saw him clearly at a glance.
Most of his body has turned into a tiger, and his face has markings, but he still stubbornly retains his human appearance.
The look on his face, no one could bear to take a second look.
"He was supposed to be completely transformed into a white tiger, but he only changed halfway, and it seems that something has gone wrong. Shen said in shock.
As he spoke, he looked at Lin Yan again.
Lin Yan said: "Does the sect leader think I did it again? It's not bad, I added some condiments to the pot of broth that I fed to the white tiger. That condiment is not harmful to the sect master's body. β
Shen Jinglan smiled and said, "Even if it's β‘β‘, if you cook it for me, I will eat it." β
"However, although I made some moves, the key is that Lu Zhifeng himself doesn't want to merge with the white tiger, so he becomes this half-human and half-tiger. β
Lin Yan is telling the truth.
Even if he didn't intervene, in the original plot, Lu Zhifeng's transformation into a white tiger would have failed.
This led to the events that followed.

Lin Yan said again: "The sect master is well-informed, have you ever seen an ancient Dire?"
"I've heard of it, but I've never seen it. β
"Then the Sect Master will see you soon. Lin Yan said, "As long as the white tiger is still there, the Dire will not dare to come out to move." Now, Lu Zhifeng refuses to inherit the power of the White Tiger, and the Dire is about to show up. β
