Seeing the two bare-bottomed blue boys crying like no one else, Qi Jingzhi, who had regained some strength, looked up silently, and it happened that Lao Xiao also looked down,

One person and one Xiao exchanged glances with each other, and they instantly understood each other's meaning.

They immediately took their sights on one of the boys, and without saying a word, pounced on them.

It's a pity that whether it is Lao Xiao's fist or the young man's blade, all of them have failed.

The two ghost boys were crying and disappeared abruptly.

When they disappeared, they never reappeared.

Qi Jingzhi and Lao Xiao patrolled the yard for a long time, during which they deliberately left alone and lured the two boys to make a move, but they still didn't see any movement.

After a long time, one person and one Xiao returned to the corpse of the tiger spirit, looked at each other, and shook their heads helplessly.

Lao Xiao pulled a flag out of nowhere, bandaged the wound on his leg, and the flag was stained with dark red blood.

Qi Jingzhi looked at the wound carefully, his brows couldn't help frowning, and he said, "If the senior hurts the joint fascia, I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to move in the future." Why don't you wait here for a day or two, and I'll go outside the mountain to find a Langzhong. ”

Hearing this, Lao Xiao shook his head without hesitation, and at the same time clenched his fists and pounded his strong chest.

Seeing its resolute attitude, Qi Jingzhi thought for a while and said with a smile: "The predecessor used to be an errand under the mountain god seat, so he must be well-informed, and he wants to have a means of healing. ”

He raised his hand to the east and continued, "There is a small village next to the mountain pass on the eastern edge of Komatsu, and my house is on the highest hill to the west of the village. In addition to me, there are also my grandfather and an old yellow dog at home. If there is anything to do with the seniors, they can come to my house to find me. ”

Hearing what the young man said, Lao Xiao looked in the direction of his finger, turned his head again, and grinned at the young man, nodding while laughing.

Qi Jingzhi also laughed, and did not forget to instruct: "When the seniors come, they should pass through the mountain behind my house, there are some traps and traps, although you can't hurt the seniors, please pay more attention, it's best to walk along the path on the mountain......"

After some advice, the young man hesitated slightly, then pointed to the corpse of the tiger spirit and asked, "Senior, are you useful for this corpse?" ”

Lao Xiao glanced at the tiger corpse, his face showed a look of disgust, and his head shook like a rattle.

Seeing this, Qi Jingzhi was both happy and worried: "I can use it, but unfortunately my strength is too small to move." ”

At this time, the young man couldn't help but think of Lu Yunzi, who claimed to be good at handling and was suitable for this, but unfortunately his mind was not right, and he was already dead.

Lao Xiao also scratched his head when he heard this, it had strength, but unfortunately one leg was injured, and his arms had to be used to walk, so he couldn't do anything.

When he was distressed, Qi Jingzhi's stomach suddenly growled.

He looked up at the sky and saw that it was nearly noon.

When he met the fox saw the tree, he didn't bother to eat breakfast, and after a series of fights, he should be hungry anyway.

Unexpectedly, the young man's stomach only screamed twice, and Lao Xiao's stomach on the side also drummed.

Qi Jingzhi is an open-minded person, and he doesn't take gains and losses very seriously, and he laughs even more when he sees this.

"Senior, since you don't want this tiger corpse, I can't take it away, so I just set it up and roast it, how much can we eat! You and I are eating and waiting, if the old man in the mouth of the group of ghosts comes to seek revenge, they will be slaughtered together, and a great harm will be removed for the people of the world! ”

When Lao Xiao heard this, he immediately showed joy on his face, bent his legs alone, and seemed to want to jump, but he pulled the wound and grinned in pain.

Just do it, Qi Jingzhi immediately divided the labor and acted separately.

Lao Xiao went around to collect some broken door panels and old cases as firewood, and picked up some broken tablecloths and dead branches as things to start the fire, while Qi Jingzhi returned to his old business, skinning the tiger spirit and the two fox spirits one by one with a sharp knife with ox ears.

When skinning the tiger, Qi Jingzhi once again confirmed that this was a real tiger, without the slightest trace of his human body.

The bloody tiger skin that was peeled off was really just a tiger skin, except for the big one, there was nothing peculiar about it.

Then, Qi Jingzhi deliberately cut the stomach pouch of the tiger spirit, and saw that there were only some rabbit bones and chicken feathers inside, so he nodded with satisfaction.

This beast hadn't eaten a man for many days, and these hares and pheasants were all honored by the old fox, but they also avoided Qi Jing's worries.

"Some people are born with a tiger heart!"

When cutting tiger meat, the young man always echoed the words of the ghost boy in his heart, and he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

"This former Zen monk has never said the name of the teacher and the law, obviously he has become addicted to eating people, and he is willing to be trapped in the temple in order to shed his skin, and he would rather hurt himself than tear off the tiger skin, which shows that before he finally turned into a tiger, he still had some thoughts of good and evil and repentance in his heart."

It's a pity that those ghosts won't let him go, and he himself is deeply enchanted and hopeless after all. I still remember that when he mentioned the Zen tigers in those Zen stories, his face was full of envy. Maybe someone like him...... I shouldn't be a human being. ”

It didn't take long for the boy and the old man to light a bonfire very neatly, and put half of the huge tiger leg on it.

In front of the ancient temple and the main hall in the deep mountains, the sky is bright and quiet.

Qi Jingzhi stood by the bonfire, slowly turning the tiger legs in his hands, his mind immersed and his eyes focused.

Xu is the stamina to ignite the soul and blood has not completely passed, the young man is physically and mentally exhausted, but there is still some abnormal excitement in his heart, and his five senses are much sharper than usual, and he can easily perceive the subtle changes in front of him.

As the flames rose, the firewood crackled and the tiger's legs turned brown little by little, bubbling with grease and gradually overflowing with aroma.

Lao Xiao sat on the ground beside him, watching the young man's movements intently, his expression was calm and calm, and there was no trace of the ferocity of the previous fight.

In this process, neither the boy nor the old man made a sound.

"That's it!"

I don't know how long it took, Qi Jingzhi suddenly spoke, and at the same time, he raised the tiger's legs with both arms and handed them to Lao Xiao: "In order to chase that old fox, I lost all the bottles and cans, and I only brought some salt with me, so don't dislike it." ”

Lao Xiao's eyes lit up, but he shook his head and raised his hand to point at Qi Jingzhi's mouth.

When the young man saw this, he thought of his grandfather for no reason, and his heart was suddenly touched: "No wonder Master Meng said that the mountain god can control and educate the spirits in the mountains, and now when I look at it, it is really true." The senior in front of him is more like a person than many people. ”

He immediately laughed, and was no longer polite, and raised the tiger's leg diagonally to his lips, opened his mouth to bite it, and then shook his head fiercely, and immediately tore off a large strip of belt meat.

He chewed as he handed the tiger leg to Lao Xiao again.

This time, Lao Xiao didn't refuse again, stretched out his palm, took it, and then followed the example of a young man, and also bit a large piece of tiger meat, stuffing a bloody mouth to the brim.

As soon as it took a bite, there was a large opening in the tiger's leg visibly with the naked eye, and even the bones in the depths could be seen.

Qi Jingzhi saw it, and without saying a word, he lifted out half of the tiger leg and put it on the fire, and then sat down and chewed it.

The skin of the tiger meat has been grilled to a crispy crisp, but the meat inside is still firm and chewy.

When he took a bite of meat, he not only felt satisfied, but was hungry while eating, and the more he ate, the more hungry he became, as if his stomach was urging him to eat a lot.

After three or five bites, a large strip of tiger meat disappeared into Qi Jingzhi's mouth.

He sucked the grease from his fingers and stared at the tiger legs on the shelf, and the sound of bowels sounded again.

At this moment, a fluffy white paw reached out in front of him, and between his fingers was a fragrant tiger meat.

Qi Jingzhi's eyes lit up, and he grabbed it unceremoniously, and was about to open his mouth to thank him, when his face suddenly changed.

The next moment, the young man and the old Xiao Huo Ran turned their heads and looked at the stone steps in front of the hall not far away.
