When he came out of the forest, Li Kui was extra careful. I was afraid that the Venerable Spirit, a thief, would lurk around and attack him.

"Come out, I see you!"

"Your pouting cheeks have made me see ......"

Li Kui shouted vigorously, and it seemed that only echoes answered him. But no one jumped out, and the clods and stones that he had picked up from the woods were thrown into the bushes, and then he listened with bated breath.

It's a pity that Li Kui was disappointed in the end.

Not a disappointment.

The Master of Wisdom was covering his eye sockets before being injured, apparently being hit in the eyeball. When people hurt their eyes, they are extremely frightened, even more panicked than being stabbed in the body. So much so that in a panic, he used the long knife in his hand as a hidden weapon and flew out in the direction of Li Kui, taking advantage of this moment, he used a trick to break off the shell of the golden cicada and leave the forest.

Weighing the Venerable Master's long knife, it felt a little light.

This is him, accustomed to the powerful and heavy ghost king axe, any weapon feels light, this single knife has a weight of forty catties, the thick back of the knife is as thick as four or five copper coins, the knife surface is not wide, but the dance is abnormal. The handle of the knife is designed for both hands, more than a foot long, and the knife is painted with a dragon pattern in copper and silver, although there is no gemstone embellishment, but it is enough to erect the style, and it looks very expensive. The knife surface is not too bright, but just a few collisions of Li Kui's attacks just now, there is no collapse at all, obviously the hardness of the blade and the elasticity of the blade are all first-class goods. If it was a single knife weighing five or six catties, the sword would have broken when the Master Lingzhi and Li Kui were fighting, and it would have been impossible to block Li Kui's attack.

He swiped a few times, feeling that it was a pity not to take advantage of it, and to throw it away. If you are short of money in the future, you can change a lot of money. So, with the intention of buying and making a fortune, he returned the same way with his sword, and went to find the bad luck of the Master of Wisdom by the way, but he could not see the shadow of the Master of Wisdom at all.

found the double axe, and the confidence in Li Kui's heart suddenly returned. Bandaging himself at will, the wound was no longer bleeding, sitting on the top of the mountain, Li Kui pondered, where did this spiritual master go?

"yes, go to his lair!"

In the dark cave, the traces of smoke and fire are very heavy, and there is a smell of moisture and decay, and the large and small animal bones are discarded everywhere in the clearing, and the miserable white animal bones give people an eerie feeling.

"I'll go, this can't be a turnip!"

After rummaging in the cave for a while, Li Kui found a treasure in a wooden box. All kinds of wound medicine didn't appeal to him, and he couldn't figure out what it was for. But there were more than a dozen ginseng sticks of different sizes hidden in a cloth bag, which made him not calm. This thing is so big, it can't be fake, right?

Pulled away a little ginseng and put it in his mouth and chewed it a few times, and suddenly his brows frowned slightly, which was much more bitter than American ginseng. Li Kui, who has never tasted wild ginseng, believes that this bag of ginseng must be this guy, genuine wild ginseng. I was about to spit out the bitter slag in my mouth, but I was stunned, and then a nostalgic and dirty expression appeared on my face - brother is reluctant!

"This is a bronze plate, but it's a pity that the words can't be read clearly, forget it, accept it!"

"This sparkling, sun-kissed color is gold! It's a pity that there are only two gold ingots, no matter what, take it first! ”

"Hey, hey, hey, this wise master is so stupid that he even keeps a diary. How silly is it to leave everything on paper? Go back and criticize the vulgarity of this product, and take it! ”

Forget about the salt, you and I will master and apprentice, and keep it for you to marinate the meat! ”

……

When he entered the cave, he had two huge axes stuck in his waist with his hands empty, and at most he carried a long knife on his back. But when he came out of the cave, he was like the head of a fleeing family, and all the rags were on his back. Of course, there were too many things, and he also gave up a lot of things that seemed precious.

For example, the pills in the bottles and jars, after he broke the bottles, formed a pile, sprinkled urine on the medicine pile by the way, and then wrote a line of big characters with charcoal on the cave wall on the side: "The green mountains do not change, and the green water flows forever." Li Kuiliu! ”

Then added: "Surprised, surprised?" ”

There is also a bunch of copper coins under the word, no way, there are too many things, I can't take care of these worthless burdens.

Out of the cave, Li Kui was about to walk down the mountain beam when suddenly a tiger roared in the forest below the mountain, which animals in the mountain forest became lazy in winter suddenly became diligent, the birds in the forest panicked to the sky, wild boars, roe deer, and even wolves were scurrying in the forest.

Li Kui stared at the bottom of the mountain, his face changing.

This is probably a big tiger, right?

Don't probably.

Definitely.

Li Kui pondered that if he encountered, it would be inconvenient for him to carry things on his back, and he was injured, although it was not serious, but it would also affect his performance. Especially...... What if I can't beat the tiger?

Although Li Kui once had a record of killing four tigers in one go in "Water Margin", Li Kui at that time was holding a ghost king axe and was full of anger. But in later generations, Li Kui's achievements were criticized. One of the reasons is that tigers are solitary animals, and four of them appear at a time, and they must be tiger cubs. bullying the little milk tiger, he is not a hero, and his record is not adopted; The second is that he has a weapon in his hand, which is far from Wu Song's fist hitting the tiger.

Right now, there is no shortage of weapons in his hands, and there should only be one tiger.

But most likely the big tiger.

Li Kui hesitated for a while, spat out, and dropped a very sentence: "You brocade brute, it's getting late today, and I'll spare your life to get it in the future!" ”

Li Kui dropped a cruel word and went down from the cliff. Let him jump, and it's over. But if you are prepared, it is really not difficult to climb down little by little.

After landing at the bottom of the ditch, Li Kui discerned the direction and walked down the valley towards Baizhang Village.

Before returning to the village, he first buried the captured booty on the spot, leaving only the Oni King's axe and long knife. Everyone in the village knew that Li Kui was learning martial arts, and even if he was carrying a weapon, he would not attract people's attention. On the contrary, Li Kui's family is so poor, there is not even a chair at home that can sit on people, and Li Kui eats perfunctory things with a stone under his buttocks. If you have more valuable gold and silver at home, this is the bane.

Eat one's heart out.

It can burn a person to the point of losing his mind.

The Master of Wisdom is one of them.

If he wasn't jealous that Li Kui was able to break through the shackles of martial artists, he wouldn't have thought about killing Li Kui. Of course, there are also a lot of secrets in the Venerable Lingzhi, and if someone finds something strange from Li Kui, Shun Teng finds him, it seems that he also has this worry.

When he was ready, he threw his weapon in his small dilapidated house, and the door was not closed, so he walked to the old patriarch's house with a big grin.

The old patriarch happened to be looking at the yellow calendar, thinking that it was an auspicious day for the zodiac, and he could show his ambitions. Of course, the old patriarch, who was not very literate, had a very good feeling for a few words, such as: "Everything is suitable!" ”

"Third uncle, it's not good, there's a big insect in the mountains."

The big insect means tiger, and the people in the mountains understand it when they hear it. With the tiger at the top of the food chain, this news is really fatal, and it will immediately cause panic in the whole village.

The old patriarch opened his mouth and smiled with a leaky mouth: "You also know, the old man is preparing to report to the county, and the tax exemption for the coming year will all be pointed at it!" ”

Li Kui was stunned, he couldn't react a little, the tiger wants to eat people, it's terrifying!

Why is there no one in the mountains who are not afraid?

Instead, it feels a bit like welcoming 'auspicious'?

The old patriarch explained with a smile: "Your baby is also Han, and you don't care about things in the village." In previous years, the winter could be passed, didn't it depend on the county's tax exemption? If there are no big insects in the mountains, can the county let us live in peace? This year's harvest isn't good either, this big worm! It's time to come, too. ”

Wait a minute!

Li Kui was a little confused, how could the tiger be related to the harvest of crops? As far as the old patriarch goes, Baizhang Village has always enjoyed the tax exemption policy of the 'Big Insect Sanctuary', and is not very afraid of the scourge of big insects. This thing is not afraid of eating people, which means that there must be something greasy in it. Regardless of whether there are big insects or not, the mountain people hunt and farm, and collect mountain goods without delay, so it can be seen that the villagers of Baizhang Village know that it is a lie that there are tigers in the mountains. But when this lie can be beneficial, everyone chooses to believe it. At least on the surface.

But Li Kui really saw it, although the distance was very far, the tiger roar would not fake, the animals in the mountains and forests would not fake when they were frightened, and the colorful skin would not be fake. Unless there is still a good tiger skin hidden in Baizhang Village, there is nothing to play with in the mountains, and by the way, scare the officials who came down from the county.

But how could there be tiger skins in Baizhang Village?

How can a good tiger skin cost hundreds, or even thousands?

This is a lot of money, and it is impossible to say anything about the poor and sour nature of the villagers.

Li Kui pondered for a while, and then understood what the old patriarch meant, he was a little unbearable, the old man has been living in this false beauty, there are big tigers in the mountains, and the villagers of Baizhang Village live in the water and fire, and they need tax exemption and subsidies from the county. The big men in the county didn't want to send people to check at all, as soon as they came to Baizhang Village, they were on the edge of Mengshan Mountain and Yishan Mountain, and there were really a lot of tigers in the mountains, and it was normal to come out and wander around. In particular, the officials were very resistant to the big tigers.

The threat of death is too great.

The county magistrate also had more than one thing to do, so he simply exempted Baizhang Village from taxes and ordered them to relocate. But each time, the villagers of Baizhang Village have held on to the land left by their ancestors.

But this is a lie, a lie made up by a mountain family who can't get by, so they have to take risks.

When a lie is exposed, it's scary.

But when the lie comes true, it's even more terrifying.

After Li Kui told him what he saw, the old patriarch had to believe it, but the news made him so frightened that he couldn't say a word for a long time.

The old man was so frightened that he salivated and pulled out a shiny silk thread down his mouth, and for a long time, he cried and lamented: "Bad fate! ”
