.

Pei Min guarded Beiping and served as the military envoy of Longhua. People in the army or in the rivers and lakes know that he is good at swordsmanship, but in fact, Pei Min has another ability that is as good as his swordsmanship, that is, archery.

There is a lot of land in Beiping, and when he has nothing to do, Pei Min will go hunting on horseback. No matter what kind of prey, it only takes one arrow to kill or take down.

I don't know why, many tigers suddenly poured out of Beiping to ambush the people, hurt people and kill people, and made people panic. After Pei Min learned of this, he immediately took his generals to encircle and suppress these tigers.

Soon after the group jumped into the forest, five tigers suddenly jumped out, and without waiting for anyone to see and react, they directly dragged away three soldiers and two horses, screaming miserably. Frightened by this, the scene became chaotic for a while, whether it was a soldier or a horse, they all began to flee and run, leaving Pei Min alone in the forest.

These generals were already frightened and ran away, as fast as rabbits. When he ran out of the woods for about two miles, one of the generals came back to his senses and said, "Huh? What about the generals? ”

"No...... It won't be ......" another general panted and said, "It won't be three slow, being ...... Eaten by a tiger, right? ”

There is no way to talk about this sentence or that, whether it is life or death, you have to go back to find it. However, these generals did not rush back directly, but brought many people into the forest to look for them. As a result, they were all stunned when they found Pei Min, and they all thought they were dreaming.

Pei Min didn't die, but he suffered some skin injuries. And in front of him lay many tigers, all dead. The soldiers counted carefully, and found that there were thirty-one heads. Most of them died in the same way, with one arrow through the head, and only a few of them received two or three arrows. It can be seen that Pei Min must have had a fierce battle with these tigers.

This news spread quickly, and the people in the rivers and lakes were shocked when they heard it. The people of Beiping even called Pei Min a man of God and came to thank him.

However, although Pei Min shot thirty-one tigers by himself, he did not stop the disaster from happening. On the contrary, after this trip, those tigers became even more angry and rampant, and they would run out to eat people and things during the day or night. A family of the people was sleeping soundly, but the big tiger ran into the house without a sound, and was bitten to death before he could react.

After hearing this, Pei Min was furious and scolded that these tigers were really bold and rampant. But anger to anger, Pei Min also felt that this matter might not be as simple as it seemed.

Although there are many tigers in Beiping, they are generally active in the deep mountains and old forests, and few of them run out to eat people and hurt things. Moreover, this tiger has a solitary personality and rarely gathers in groups, even if it hunts for food, it is alone. But now, these tigers who have jumped out to do evil are advancing and retreating, which is very abnormal.

Pei Min is a person who has experienced in the rivers and lakes, and has heard some stories about warlocks and the like. It is said that there is such a kind of person in the world, they drink blood with hair, and practice evil arts all year round to bring disaster to the world, and among them is the ability of this beast. Therefore, Pei Min believes that behind the fact that the tigers in Beiping are in groups to make trouble everywhere, there must be such a warlock behind the scenes. So, Pei Min dressed lightly and began to look around.

In the end, there was a harvest. In a remote mountain village, Pei Min met an old man, who said to Pei Min: "General Pei is brave and good at fighting, and he is very good at writing and martial arts, but ...... But General Pei, you didn't shoot a real tiger that day! ”

"Oh?" Pei Min didn't understand and asked, "What's the explanation?" ”

The old man replied: "General Pei, I can't hide it, Lao Suo used to be a hunter, and he had seen all kinds of beasts in the mountains until he saw it......

Immediately afterwards, the old man told Pei Min his story and experience. It is said that there is a huge tiger in the mountains outside the village, at least three times larger than ordinary tigers, and the old man called it the Tiger King.

The old man said that he had seen a very strange scene in the mountains, and the beasts worshiped the king. Whether it is birds or animals, they all gather together to bow down to the Tiger King, so the old man said that this time the Hundred Tigers may be related to the Tiger King.

After hearing the news, Pei Min searched for it alone, and sure enough, he saw the tiger king in the mountains. As for what happened after seeing it, no one understands, only that the tiger king was killed by Pei Min and pierced his head with an arrow.

As soon as the Tiger King died, the Hundred Tigers rebellion came to an end. The people called Pei Min a god, and in order to thank him, he also made a stone statue.

And in the second year after the death of the Tiger King, another horrific thing happened, a spider plague somewhere in Beiping. Somehow, countless spiders suddenly appeared overnight, and they were very large, almost the size of a pig's head.

It eats people, and in just a few days, there is a village that has eaten it all, and there are cobwebs everywhere. Those who were eaten were left with an empty skin bag, wrapped in cobwebs and falling into the air, looking like a loofah vine full of loofahs, terrifying.

Pei Min led the soldiers to exterminate them, and there were countless casualties, because these spiders were still highly poisonous. Although it can be burned with fire, it is not a long-term method, it cannot be burned at all, these spiders always appear endlessly, like grass that cannot be burned by wildfire.

It wasn't until later that Pei Min led the crowd to shoot a huge spider, a spider bigger than the wheels of a chariot. After that, everything settled down.

There are rumors in the market that the spider has a lot to do with the Tiger King. It's just that there are thousands of theories, and they are even deliberately mythologized. However, there is a statement that Li Bai thinks is more reliable, that is, it is related to those charlatans.

said that there were warlocks in Beiping who practiced evil methods in the mountains, and they could control the beasts for their own use. Later, when this warlock cultivated to the time of the tribulation, he had to rely on the lives of countless people to survive the tribulation, so he let those tigers come to kill people.

Pei Min found not only the tiger king who was as big as a mountain at that time, but also this warlock who cultivated evil methods. Coincidentally, when Pei Min found this warlock, he was in the middle of a catastrophe. Pei Min looked at it and immediately said, 'This is worth it, if you succeed in the tribulation, then you won't harm more people?' So, Pei Min killed the warlock, as well as the tiger king.

The matter should have ended like this, but Pei Min had a trace of kindness. The warlock had a son, who was not known to be his own or a wild seed, and was about twelve years old. Pei Min thought about it and let him go, and asked him to take his father's body, and in this way, the seeds of disaster were planted.

After a year, this kid unleashed an evil spell to make those spiders to kill the people, and wanted to kill Pei Min. In the end, evil prevailed over good, and Pei Min was heartbroken and regretted that he had killed him at the beginning.

Not long after this incident, there was bad news in Pei Min's family, the only old mother Xian died. When she went home and asked the reason, the servant replied that it was strange, that she had been fine the first day, but when she went to wake her up the next morning, she found that she had swallowed her breath and died very peacefully, silently, painlessly, painlessly.

Pei Min really thinks this is strange, because Pei Min's mother has always been in very good health. Although he has reached the age of ancient white temples, he is very tough and has no major diseases. After thinking about it, he called the servants to come and ask them one by one.

Finally, a servant said that some time ago, Pei Min's mother saved a little beggar, who was about thirteen years old. The little beggar was so hungry that he went to rob them of food. Pei Min's mother was kind-hearted, and when she saw this, she immediately rescued the little beggar and brought him home to let him eat and drink.

The more Pei Min's mother looked at it, the more she liked this little beggar, so she wanted to take him as a righteous son and keep him by her side as a companion. But the little beggar refused, saying that the sky is a quilt, the earth is a bed, and after thanking him, he gave a piece of jade pendant to Pei Min's mother, saying that this is a family heirloom, which can be reported to safety, and he would rather starve to death than sell it, but now he took it out in order to thank Pei Min's mother.

This was not a big deal, but Pei Min felt that it was wrong. When he heard this, he asked the servant what the little beggar looked like and where the jade pendant was. The servant described the appearance of the little beggar to Pei Min, but he didn't listen to it, and he was shocked when he heard it, this little beggar was the child Pei Min let go a year ago.

Looking at the jade pendant again, Pei Min couldn't see anything famous. Fortunately, at this time, a close friend happened to come, and this person was called Liu Jinu, who had the title of the god of medicine. When he heard that Pei Min's mother had died, he was so sad that he came to mourn.

After some talking, Pei Min showed the jade pendant to Liu Jinu. It's okay not to look at this, but when I saw it, Liu Jinu was startled and said, "What kind of jade pendant is this, this ...... This is completely a murder weapon, a murder weapon that kills without blinking! ”

Pei Min was stunned when he heard it, so he asked the reason, and then Liu Jinu told the truth. It turned out that although this thing looked like a piece of jade, it was actually not, but a worm egg, an egg of a Gu worm.

Liu Jinu said that there is a kind of Gu technique in the world called Living Gu, which is to find a suitable person, put some Gu worms into his body, and then use some special medicine to raise them. After a few years, or even more than a dozen years, or decades, these Gu worms will form a stone-like thing in the human body, but it is actually an egg. When the time is ripe, the worm egg will be spit out, and as soon as the worm egg leaves the body, then the person who is in the Gu will die in just a few days, and the way of death is strange.

The eggs look smooth and round, but they actually have many small holes on the surface of the eggs, which are just invisible to the naked eye. And these small holes are the channels for Gu worms to enter and exit, no matter who plays for a long time, then the Gu worms in the eggs will gradually wake up, and then crawl out along these small holes, and then drill into the human body from the skin holes, and finally put people to death.

After figuring out this, Pei Min regretted that he had not killed this harmful kid that year. Because of this incident, Pei Min was also depressed, thinking that he had killed his mother, and he couldn't forgive himself at all.

Fortunately, Pei Min also has a close friend, this person is called Wu Daozi, also known as Daoxuan, known as the saint of painting. He was young and lonely, he had been an official in business, and he had not found a name for several years in the dark, and he didn't even know which way he was going, and he was very confused.

Later, he studied calligraphy with the great calligrapher Zhang Xu and He Zhizhang, and as he learned, he found some ways to paint and began to paint with his talent. Later, after watching Gongsun Auntie's sword dance, he was deeply inspired, and in just a few days, he improved his painting realm a lot. Later, later, he was invited to go to the palace and became an upright painter, and later met Pei Min.

The two had a deep relationship, and seeing that Pei Min was getting depressed and uncomfortable, they thought of a way. said that on the walls of Tiangong Temple, he helped Pei Min's mother make some paintings of gods and ghosts, so as to surpass the undead and so on.

After hearing this, Pei Min felt that this was very good, so he agreed. But Wu Daozi said: "I haven't painted for a long time, and I can't be sloppy this time." Back then, I watched Aunt Gongsun dance a sword dance, and I got a great inspiration, Brother Pei, your swordsmanship is so good, so I think when I paint, Brother Pei, you can dance the sword next to me. In this way, I don't think I'll make any mistakes. ”

Pei Min agreed, and from then on, he stayed in Tiangong Temple all day long and danced the sword to show Wu Daozi. And in the mood and bones of every person who learns swords, there is actually a kind of thing that can see through the world, especially the more skilled the swordsmanship, the more profound the things and things that can be seen through. Because the ultimate meaning of all things in the world is actually to comprehend the origin of heaven and earth.

The same is true for paintings, although paintings and swords are two things that are not compatible, but the principles are the same. Wu Daozi wanted to let Pei Min lift the sword that he had put down for many years, and then open Pei Min's heart through the mystery of swordsmanship, so that Pei Min would no longer be depressed.

I have to say that Wu Daozi is really well-intentioned towards Pei Min, maybe this is called affection. I also have to say that after a period of sword dancing, Pei Min suddenly changed, his mood slowly improved, and finally, he was able to get free.

I have to say that after such an incident, perhaps because there is no concern, Pei Min's swordsmanship has risen to a very high height. It's just that this height is very terrifying, as long as Pei Min comes out of the sword, there will be casualties, and those who simply kill are some evil rats.

Pei Min didn't care too much at first, but slowly, Pei Min found that he couldn't control the sword in his hand at all, but the sword in his hand was controlling him. This is a rather terrible thing, because if the person who uses the sword can't even control the sword in his hand, then it means that he is not far from going mad.

Because of this, Pei Min no longer dared to use a sword. In order to find the drawbacks of swordsmanship where to go to the magic method, Pei Min reappeared in the rivers and lakes again.
