Chapter 23: Jun is not a tiger, and the joy of knowing the tiger is safe
Seeing the boy's blade attacking, the half-human, half-tiger monster opened its mouth and let out a roar, which sounded less like a human voice than a tiger's roar.
With this roar, a demonic wind erupted from its mouth, accompanied by a strong fishy smell, and rushed straight to the young man's face.
The stench permeated his brain, Qi Jingzhi's breathing couldn't help stagnating, and his movements slowed down by half a minute.
The monster took the opportunity to tilt its head to the right, narrowly avoiding the sharp blade.
Its hands were abruptly separated, and its left arm slammed upward, hitting Qi Jingzhi's right wrist, and immediately swung the ox ear sharp knife away.
Almost at the same time, its right hand turned into a claw, and it went straight to the boy's throat!
This time the elbow and armpit were transformed, and Qi Jingzhi not only blocked the blade, but also opened the door in front of him.
The offensive and defensive momentum of the two sides reversed in an instant!
At the critical moment, the young man's left foot suddenly exerted force, kicked the ground, and his upper body leaned back with his swinged right arm, barely opening up a little distance from the monster.
Almost at the same time, he was supported by his right foot, and his left knee quickly lifted up in front of him, and his knee was on the monster's right arm, slamming away the man's vicious claw.
Without waiting for the other party to react, Qi Jingzhi's left calf flicked upward, and his toe was like a steel cone, stabbing it in the jaw from the bottom up.
At this blow, the monster's head jerked back, and blood spurted from its mouth.
Qi Jingyi hit it successfully, and he refused to be merciful at all.
His left foot did not retract, but he kicked on the monster's chest, and the whole person rose up with his strength, and his right foot stepped down the white and handsome face.
The half-human, half-tiger monster couldn't even scream, and immediately fell to the ground with its back to the sky, making a loud bang.
The two-legged boy was like a crane treading water, and he immediately flew high, jumped over the monster's head, and flew straight to the headless statue standing on the altar.
His man was still in mid-air, but his right hand had already drawn his knife again, and he slashed at the headless idol without hesitation.
As soon as he entered the main hall, Qi Jingzhi saw the extraordinaryness of this statue, especially the monster sitting in front of the statue and refusing to move, and personally admitted that it was using the divine power in the hall to fight against the beast nature in the tiger skin, so where is the key, it is naturally clear at a glance.
Seeing that the blade was about to be added, the headless god statue immediately changed, and a faint silver light appeared around its body.
This silver light was like substance, and it was slashed by Qi Jingzhi's blade, and it was immediately like a stone thrown into the water, rippling with layers of ripples, but other than that, it was not damaged at all.
Qi Jing was stunned, and when the ox ear sharp knife was on the road Yunzi, it was like chopping melons and vegetables, but he didn't expect that this time it would be in vain.
"Ahh
Almost at the same time, the monster lying on the ground suddenly shook its body and let out a miserable wail.
With this wail, the tiger skin on its body did not continue to fade, but began to spread back visibly to the naked eye.
The snow-white and thick tiger belly resurfaced, wrapping all the abdominal muscles that had just been exposed, and then gradually slowed down the momentum.
The half-human, half-tiger monster jumped up suddenly, and when it fell, it lay its limbs on the ground like a wild beast, twisted its neck and looked up at the young man on the altar, and roared angrily: "Do you really want to break the net? I can't get rid of this skin, I will turn back into a bloodthirsty and cannibal mountain king, and you will definitely die when the time comes! ”
Qi Jingzhi had already landed on the edge of the altar, close to the headless god statue, and his eyebrows, hair, and clothes were also plated with a layer of silver.
He turned and looked down at the monster, which was becoming less and less human, and found that its supposedly white and delicate back had large scorched black, and its flesh and skin were even more messy, black, red, and yellow in all colors, as if it had been burned by fire.
"This injury should be Dong Mao's handiwork. Even if an ordinary tiger is a tiger spirit and is in the midst of a fire, he is afraid that he will definitely die, no wonder Dong Mao will be careless for a while and return to the mountain. ”
Qi Jingzhi added a little more confidence in his heart, and said with a cold expression: "You exhaled like the wind just now, and your martial arts cultivation is indeed stronger than me, but it's a pity that except for the useless stench, it's still just a mundane means, and I think it's the same as me, and I haven't crossed the threshold of the Zhuangyi Realm." ”
"A person like you, whether with divine power or tiger skin, can never be without a price. Master wants to make a bet with you to see which of us is the first to hold on! ”
The half-human, half-tiger monster was kicked in the face just now, his nose was sour, his eyes were tearful, and his eyes were even redder when he heard the words, and he was completely stimulated into madness.
It couldn't hold it anymore, and with a roar, it was about to pounce on it.
Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi held the knife in his back hand and stabbed at the idol behind him without hesitation, causing that layer of silver light to ripple again.
The monster had just jumped, and the two tiger legs had not yet completely left the ground, as if it had been hit by something in the back, and its whole body twitched violently, and then the soles of its feet were obviously weak, and the upper body that had just jumped up fell back to the ground.
After such a delay, the tiger skin on its body had quietly spread to its chest.
The monster naturally discovered the changes in his body, the pupils of his eyes shrank, a look of fear flashed on his face, and he said urgently: "It's a big deal for me!" ”
It knew that it had been grasped by the young man on the altar, and although it was furious and angry, it no longer attacked in vain, but straightened up in a hurry, and grabbed the edge of the tiger skin on its chest with both hands!
A piece of flesh that was still human was torn off by the monster, and blood splattered out.
This monster didn't frown, and immediately pressed the tiger skin that was curled and tore it down!
Sting!
In the strange cracking sound, the tiger skin made of something was torn open by force, and the wound was dripping with blood, and there was no good meat inside.
The half-human, half-tiger monster screamed in pain, became more and more ferocious, clutched the tiger skin with both hands, and continued to tear indiscriminately, and in a short time it was scarred and covered in blood.
When Qi Jingzhi entered the hall, this monster had already shed half of the tiger skin on his body, except that he couldn't get up and act at will, and his face looked as usual and painless.
The young man saw it in his eyes, Rao is heart was as strong as iron, and he felt sideways for a while, and at the same time he had doubts in his heart: "This weird tiger skin is naturally not a good thing, but this guy obviously has a soft spot for cannibalism, why do you insist on peeling off the tiger skin, and even if the skin can't be peeled, he doesn't hesitate to peel the skin and harm himself?" ”
"Could it be that if it is wrapped in tiger skin again this time, it will not just turn back into a tiger spirit, but something will happen that makes it fearful?"
When the thought turned, Qi Jingzhi didn't stop it, but just watched coldly.
Time passed little by little, and the blood in the hall slowly converged into a pool of blood, and the roar of pain gradually weakened, and finally disappeared.
A bald man with no strands of hair closed his eyes tightly, lying quietly in a pool of blood, his chest rising and falling slightly, and it seemed that he would not be able to die for a while.
As for the tiger skin torn off by it, it has long since disappeared without a trace, leaving no trace.
Qi Jingzhi pursed his lips, and his voice immediately sounded in the empty hall: "I believe you were once a person." ”
Hearing this, the bald man slowly opened his eyes, and the whites of his eyes were full of dense bloodshots, but he finally regained a trace of clarity.
He said hoarsely: "Is the donor satisfied now?" ”
Qi Jingzhi shook his head and asked condescendingly, "What happened to that tiger skin just now?" ”
The bald man smiled miserably, his lips and teeth were full of blood stains: "The little monk is a member of the Zen sect, and there is a saying about the Zen tiger in this vein, and the little monk has heard the master tell many stories about the tiger and the tiger participating in Zen since he was a child." In particular, I have reckless qualifications, I have nothing to achieve, and I even dream of being like those Zen tigers, sincere, brave and diligent, and finally achieve positive results. ”
"Then one day, I met a Taoist priest who called himself Tiger King, and when I heard his name, I suddenly felt fate, so we sat down and talked about the Tao together. He greatly appreciated the ambition of the little monk, and even took out a colorful flower dress as a gift, saying that as long as he put it on, he could stand up into the body of a tiger, and appreciate the mysterious state of mind of courage and diligence, whether it is Buddhism or practice, he can go a thousand miles a day! ”
Speaking of this, the man, who had always regarded himself as a monk, slowly closed his eyes, and his tone could not hide the bitterness: "What happened later, even if the little monk didn't say it, he could guess it if he wanted to come to the donor." ”
"Tiger Lord? Taoist? ”
Qi Jingzhi secretly wrote down the name, and a sneer appeared at the corner of his mouth: "It's nothing more than that after the so-called flower clothes on your body, you changed into a tiger shape, and your beastly nature is difficult to contain, you really think of yourself as a cannibal tiger spirit, eating and eating!" ”
The bald-headed young monk's face had long turned pale because of the heavy blood loss, and when he heard this, he became more and more discouraged.
He sighed and said faintly: "The donor has never turned into a tiger and eats people, so naturally he doesn't know the happiness of a tiger eating people. Now that I think about it, those stories of Zen tigers listening to the scriptures are probably made up by the predecessors to cheat the sesame oil money. If the little monk is really a tiger, it is too late to eat people, how can he have the leisure time to enlighten and practice meditation? ”
