Lingbi Town is located in a remote place in the south of the Yangtze River, surrounded by high mountains, continuous forests, lush trees, pleasant scenery, and inhabited by countless rare animals.

But what age is it now? The mountains and rivers are full of human footprints.

The last time a tiger appeared in the realm of Lingbi City can be traced back to the last century when the economy was underdeveloped.

Gu Shui smiled, looked at the young man who was talking nonsense, opened his mouth, but was speechless.

Gu Shan said to Chao Ye Ling, "Where is the tiger, why haven't we met?"

Ye Ling glanced up at them, thinking that these people had a lot of problems, he shook his head slightly, and said directly.

"Do you want to stay here? Then I won't disturb you, the place will be given to you, and I will go first. ”

After speaking, he drank the hot water in one gulp, chewed the wolfberry and covered the thermos cup and got up to leave the broken temple.

Gu Shan looked at the back of the departing man in surprise, turned his head and said.

"This man has a big temper, hum, he walked very neatly, if we hadn't come, he would have been eaten by the monster in a while, and no one would know. ”

Gu Shui covered his mouth and smiled: "Okay, cousin, it's good that people take the initiative to leave, and it will save trouble." ”

Gu Shan shook his head and said: "Cousin, you are the first time to follow the master's experience, you don't know that people's hearts are sinister, you see that the young man is young, and he has already soaked wolfberries in a thermos cup, presumably because he doesn't know how to check in his usual life, and he makes people weak ......and weak."

Gu Shui was stunned for a moment, and said with a slightly red cheek: "Yes, wolfberry tea is only drunk by people of the master's age." ”

In the distance, Jiang Liyang was stunned when he heard this, and turned his head to teach the two of them a lesson: "Hugh wants to talk about others behind his back." ”

Gu Shan hurriedly responded, Gu Shui made a grimace and stuck out his tongue mischievously.

Subsequently, the trio surveyed the terrain in the dilapidated ancient temple to find the location of the ambush.

"That young man's yang energy is quite heavy, and he must not be a monster, so the monster in this broken temple must have gone out to forage for food, and we are recuperating and waiting for the monster to come back. ”

Jiang Liyang hid behind the gate and said to the two apprentices.

Gu Shan cleaned up a clean place on the ground and said respectfully.

"Master, like our brothers in the past, my cousin and I are ready to be bait. ”

Gu Shui sat on the ground, hugged his knees and whispered, "Cousin, I'm cowardly, when the monsters come, you remember to protect me." ”

The two of them haven't learned the art of mountains and seas, and they are still just mortals.

The matter of subduing demons and eliminating demons was handed over to Jiang Liyang, and they could just act as bait with peace of mind.

Jiang Liyang's previous apprentices did just that, and now it's their turn to do the same.

If they are lucky enough to kill the demons, Jiang Liyang will give them the true blood of the demons, and they may become onmyoji, and if they are unlucky, Jiang Liyang will have to accept a few new apprentices.

In the dilapidated ancient temple, the night breeze is slightly cold.

Minutes and seconds passed.

Gu Shan told cold jokes diligently, Gu Shui responded casually, blushing occasionally, and more often boringly looking at the mobile phone with an unstable signal.

A certain moment.

The short video software on Gu Shui's mobile phone suddenly got stuck, and the signal was as low as a space.

Gu Shui's face turned pale, and he whispered, "Cousin, the demonic aura has become bigger." ”

In a place where the demonic aura is strong, the space is disordered, and many items in the world cannot be used, and the onmyoji often use this method to judge the traces of the monster.

Gu Shan's lips trembled, and he clenched his fists and replied, "Don't be afraid, cousin, with my cousin here, I will definitely protect you." ”

"Roar!"

Suddenly, a majestic tiger roar resounded through the night sky, like spring thunder exploding and waving into the ruined temple.

Tiger?!

Gu Shan and Gu Shui looked at each other, and they both saw a look of shock on their faces on the other side.

It turned out that what the young man who left just now said was true.

There are tigers in this mountain!

But how did the boy know?

"Help, the tiger is going to eat people!"

A seven or eight-year-old boy in Tsing Yi screamed in fear and stumbled into the ruined temple.

The young boy in Tsing Yi was full of tears, his little face was extremely pale, and when he saw someone in the broken temple, he ran over crying as if he had grasped a life-saving straw.

"Brother and sister, I'm so scared of ......"

Seeing this, Gu Shan and Gu Shui subconsciously got up to greet him.

......

Acting for the tiger is a word that has been handed down from ancient times.

Legend has it that a person who is bitten to death by a tiger demon has a certain chance of becoming a ghost, and the ghost obeys the tiger demon's instructions with all his heart.

When the tiger demon travels, the ghost leads the way in front to help the tiger demon escape the trap, and if he finds a person, the ghost will go up and catch the person, take off his clothes and let the tiger demon eat.

It's a kind of legend.

Legends are often exaggerated and not credible, but tonight the legend has undoubtedly become a reality, and it is even more terrifying.

Gu Shui collapsed to the ground in despair, his face full of tears.

Gu Shan looked pained and stared at the bloody hole in his chest in disbelief.

"You're a youkai?"

The boy in Tsing Yi had a cruel smile on his face, and his little fingerless left hand held a sharp dagger dripping with blood, and instead of answering his question, he turned his head and looked at the door.

"Come out, bad old man, I found you. ”

The temple door moved, and Jiang Liyang, who had a gloomy face, walked out and asked, "Do you want to fight for the tiger?"

What happened just now was too sudden, Gu Shan stepped forward to greet him, who knew that as soon as he touched the young boy in Tsing Yi, he was stabbed with a sword neatly.

The young boy in Tsing Yi raised his eyebrows and said, "When my tiger king comes, you will all die, hey, there is one more person? Why are there only three people here?" ”

He acquiesced in his identity, and then looked around suspiciously, only to find that there were really only three people in the broken temple.

However, the Tiger King clearly told him that there was the smell of four people in the broken temple!

Where else has one person gone?

Jiang Liyang's face was solemn, and he suddenly gritted his teeth and said: "Originally, there was a young man here, and the yang energy on his body was extremely heavy, but he had already left ahead of schedule, if you go after him now, it should be too late." ”

When Gu Shui heard this, his eyes widened, and he suddenly felt a strangeness in Jiang Liyang.

Why didn't the master go about subduing demons and destroying demons? Instead, let the monsters chase after the people who had already left? Isn't this a disaster that will bring harm to the innocent?

The young boy in Tsing Yi nodded and agreed: "I want to chase it, otherwise the three of them are not easy to separate, and the Tiger King will definitely eat one more than me." ”

The boy in Tsing Yi said this, and walked outside the temple.

Seeing this, Jiang Liyang suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, and his nervous expression eased.

He dared to make a move on a monster, but acting for the tiger was two monsters acting at the same time, and the tiger demon must be wandering outside the temple at the moment, and he had no confidence in his strength.

Every time he goes out to subdue demons and subdue demons, he first lets his apprentice be a bait, and when the monster is happy to eat, he relaxes his vigilance, and then he appears at the critical moment to give a thunderous blow. He rarely fights youkai head-on.

The boy in Tsing Yi walked to the doorrail, his footsteps suddenly hovered, and he turned his head and suddenly realized.

"Oh, I understand, your bad old man wants to divert the tiger away from the mountain, frame me to leave, and then take the opportunity to escape?

The biting cold wind blew into the broken temple, Jiang Liyang's face was gloomy, and Gu Shan and Gu Shui couldn't help but shiver.

The boy in Tsing Yi looked around, opened his mouth full of sharp teeth, and he smirked.

"I'm going to kill you first. ”

......

The mountain path is overgrown with grass, and the cold fog rises in the middle of the night, and wisps of smoke curl like smoke.

"Roar!"

The black tiger lay on the ground and roared in a low voice, huge enough to be a foot in size, like a black off-road vehicle.

"A few mortals also want to break into my cave mansion and kill themselves as snacks for me?"

The tiger demon looked sarcastic and spoke.

"There are four people in the temple, not enough to eat, and they have to be divided into two portions......"

As soon as the tiger demon thought of this, he couldn't help but sigh, thinking that if he was hungry one day, he would even eat the Tsing Yi ghost he raised.

"Roar!"

The tiger demon once again roared a few times with all his strength to the sky, ensuring that the majestic and bloody sound could be clearly transmitted into the mountain temple.

"It's almost time. ”

The black tiger stepped on the spot a few times, thinking that the ghost in Tsing Yi should have finished the matter over there, so he hooked his tail and prepared to enter the ruined temple to clean up the mess.

The big black tiger sniffed, stopped suddenly, and felt something was wrong.

There are four people in the ruined temple, three are heavier and one is lighter.

But at this moment, he suddenly realized that the fainter breath was gradually dissipating, and it was actually just the smell left by a person's stay.

The man had long since left the ruined temple and returned the same way he came, deceiving his nose.

"It's really a little clever, much better than the three people in the broken temple. ”

The tiger demon muttered to himself, as for why he suddenly discovered this secret, it was because he found that the person with the lighter breath was actually not far away.

And this breath also has an inexplicable familiar feeling, as if I smelled it somewhere a few days ago.

The man's scent was getting closer.

"Hmph, it's not like you're dying......"

The tiger demon snorted, a stream of red flames erupted from his mouth and nose, and his bronze eyes stared ahead.

The tiger demon's pupils suddenly shrank, and he said in a terrified voice: "It's you!"

Lonely moonlight.

A teenager walked from the winding mountain road, carrying a thermos cup soaked in wolfberry water.

The cool night breeze blew across the young man's delicate face, and he raised his head, the corners of his mouth hooked to reveal his white teeth in the darkness.

"Hello, see you again. ”
