Jinhe County has always been famous for many tigers, and the land is full of tigers.

In fact, it was also caused by the war.

After the war, the population will decrease, and as soon as there are fewer people, the wild grass and trees will flourish, and the tigers, leopards, and jackals that were originally driven away by people will also make a comeback, and there will be more demons and monsters.

However, after Dayan was settled, the disasters of tigers and leopards in many places in Gwangju were eliminated, but only Jinhe County was full of mountains and forests, and it was not clean.

At the most rampant, it was even said that tigers and leopards roamed the city day and night, and no one was seen galloping, and they were bold. That is to say, there are so many tigers and leopards that they have changed their solitary habits and wandered around the city in groups during the day, and they are not afraid to see people, I don't know if it's true or not, but there must be too many tigers and leopards to exaggerate, and at least they should have the courage to break into the city.

Later, there was a tiger who became a fine and became king in the mountains, and no longer went down the mountain to catch people to eat, but asked his tigers to catch them and send them.

The officers and soldiers surrounded and suppressed it several times, but there was no way to take it.

The Taoist slowly walked to the territory of Jinhe County.

A city gradually appeared in front of it.

The cat was still walking in front, but it couldn't help but stop on the side of the road, stretched its neck high, poked its head through the weeds, and looked into the grass, with a strange expression, some disgust, and some shock, stunned.

The Taoist and the horse came from behind, and when they passed her, they turned their heads to see a rare pile of dung in the grass.

One person and one horse did not stop.

The cat wrinkled its nose, finally withdrew its gaze, looked up at the sky again, and saw that its scout was not a warning, thinking that it was fine, so she felt more at ease, and quickly turned her head to follow.

Peace of mind is peace of mind, but the cat has always understood the principle of preparedness, so he also trotted to catch up with the horse.

Looking left and right, seeing that there was no one around, running and running, a little force, the whole cat jumped up to the sky lightly, spread its limbs, showing a beautiful posture, suddenly the canopy exploded a cloud of black smoke, and when it landed, it was already a little girl in a three-color summer dress.

Stretch out your hand at the horse's back.

"Brush ......"

A small flag flew out of the blanket and landed in the palm of her hand, where she carried it into her arms.

Now there is a lot of security.

The gate slowly appeared in front of it.

There are soldiers guarding the door, the first two veterans, experienced, behind are mostly strong men, dressed in armor and holding spears, very guarded.

As soon as the Taoist approached, he attracted their attention.

For example, today has also walked a little half, the investigation of passing through the customs into the city is really commonplace, especially in the troubled times in the north, many places are very strict, not only to prevent thieves, but also to check demons and ghosts, the Taoist naturally understands, so halfway through the walk has already taken out the degree from his arms, and handed it over with both hands:

"Here is a Yunyou Taoist from Yizhou, Yunyou is here, please make it convenient."

"Wandering Taoist ......"

An old pawn looked down at the Taoist, but from time to time he looked up and looked at the little girl beside the Taoist and the horse behind him.

There are many masters in the people, and there are many strange ways to distinguish demons and ghosts, most of which do not rely on spells but on experience. The extraordinariness of this jujube red horse can be seen at a glance, and this little girl is too beautiful and the experienced folk gentleman can see at a glance that something is wrong, and the veteran who has been guarding the city for many years can naturally do it.

It's just that Song You was wearing a Taoist robe, and he took this unusual fold, which made him unsure for a while.

"You ......"

"This is a child under the bottom, named Sanhua Niangniang, who has been in the world for six years."

"Daotong ......"

"Yes."

"Dare to ask sir...... This child's ......"

"It's inhuman, but it's not evil."

"Hiss......"

All the soldiers behind him were a little nervous.

The old pawn frowned.

If you usually encounter demons and ghosts who want to sneak into the city and are found out, they will naturally not show mercy, but since people take this fold, they are masters of Taoism, and they are masters who accept monsters as children, and it is also something that is often heard in the story, so naturally they can't kill at will. But whether he should put it in or not made it difficult for him.

So I couldn't help but turn my head, wanting to exchange opinions with another old soldier next to me.

But I saw that the old man looked at this Taoist person in a daze, as well as the jujube red horse and the little girl behind the Taoist, and came over to look at the name on the degree, and a pair of eyes opened wider and wider.

"Lao Li, but what's wrong? Why do you look like this? The old man who had questioned him earlier couldn't help but ask.

Even the soldiers behind him were nervous.

The old man surnamed Li ignored him, but stared at the Taoist, and asked, "Dare to ask sir, this boy is transformed from a three-flowered cat?" ”

The old man who asked him before was also stunned when he heard this.

Seems to remember something.

I saw the man reply in return:

"Exactly."

"Dare to ask sir, but ...... But Mr. Song in Yanzhou, Hezhou......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"Indeed, from that side."

The Taoist replied in the same tone.

The guards of the city couldn't help but widen their eyes.

"Oops! What a fairy! The immortals are here, and the tiger demons in our Jinhe County will definitely be able to get rid of them! ”

"Immortals forgive sins! There were many offenses before, it is really my Jinhe County tigers are rampant, there are mountain kings in the mountains, and there are many refined tigers under the mountain kings, we are strictly defensive, the tiger demons can't eat people outside the city, so they often turn into all kinds of people or imperial envoys and ghosts, want to blend into the city, catch people to eat, over the years, merchants, Taoists, monks, and even officials who go to serve have encountered ......"

"Don't dare, don't dare to be called an immortal." Song You had no choice but to say this, and then said, "I heard that there are tigers here, so I came here to take a look." ”

"When the immortals come, we will be saved!"

"But there are a few things I want to ask a few captains."

"How dare you say that you are asking for advice, all the immortals are asking!"

"A few of you are on duty here, have you ever seen a swordsman, born tall, with a slightly dark face, holding a sword with a black sheath in his hand, and bringing a black horse, who also came here to kill demons?"

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look at each other.

"Indeed, there is such a man." The old man surnamed Li replied, "Our county is plagued by tigers, and the county officials have already sealed several other doors, leaving only this one." At the beginning, the swordsman also came in through this gate, saying that he had already eliminated many demons in Gwangju last year, and he also asked us about the details of the tiger demon. ”

"And then?"

"Then he went to find the tiger demon." The old man surnamed Li said, "It doesn't seem to have come back after that." ”

"That was more than half a month ago, I don't know if he found the tiger demon, and the tiger demon is not so easy to deal with, and I don't know, ......alas," the other old soldier also said, but he couldn't help but sigh for the young swordsman.

At this time, there was also a young soldier behind him, holding a spear, and couldn't help but speak:

"We have not had many outsiders who dared to come in recent years because of the tiger plague, but I have also heard that the swordsman seems to be very famous. I went to Pigback Mountain to look for the tiger demon before, and I heard that it seems to have come down. ”

"Oh?"

Song You immediately looked at him.

The young soldier was a little unnatural, and bowed his head respectfully and replied: "The little one has only heard, and that was a few days ago, I heard that someone saw the swordsman coming down from the mountain, but his body was already in tatters, with a lot of injuries, riding on a horse, the horse also had injuries, it seems that he went to the east, most of them suffered under the hands of the tiger demon." ”

"I see."

"I've only heard."

"It's okay, thank you." Song You smiled at him and said, "Listen to the footsteps, the mountain that makes trouble for the tiger demon is called Pig's Back Mountain?" ”

"Hui immortals, we are all deep mountains, and there are tigers in the deep mountains, but the pigback mountain is the highest and largest, and the forest is the deepest, and it is said that the tiger demon likes to haunt the mountain the most."

"How to get there?"

"The immortals walked around the city, to the south city gate, along the road at the gate, went out for about forty or fifty miles, and saw the highest and largest mountain, which looked like a pig's back, and it was the pig's back mountain."

"Thank you."

"Don't dare, it's an honor for the villain."

"Do the immortals want to go into the city to repair? We will also report to the county magistrate and welcome and entertain the immortals. The old man who asked first asked.

"It's not an immortal in the next place, it's just a person in the mortal world, this is a tiger demon, since I know what I want to know, I won't go into the city, and I don't dare to bother the county officials to welcome and entertain." The Taoist smiled and bowed his hand to them, "Then I will leave." ”

"Congratulations to the ...... Immortals"

And they all saluted, and they all looked at each other.

I saw that the man turned away, the jujube red horse followed honestly, and the little girl looked back at them from time to time, her eyes were clear and smart, and her appearance was delicate and cute, not like a mortal.

The demeanor of the Taoist is no different from the legend.

Then everyone whispered to discuss.

Some said that this Song Immortal was a man, and some said that the Tiger Demon finally chatted back and forth, and then talked about the swordsman.

Everyone asked the young soldier if he was lying, but the young soldier naturally didn't dare, so he continued to discuss the swordsman who had only seen him once, but also felt that he was chivalrous.

It is said that so many Mr. Monster Hunters and Old Orion went into the mountains to kill demons and died in the mountains, and the young swordsman must have suffered a loss; Some people also said that the young swordsman had a peerless demeanor, and when he asked at the gate of the city, he said in a firm and calm tone that when he left, the tiger demon would be removed, which didn't sound like lying, and now he seemed to know the immortals, and after going up the mountain, although he was injured, he also went down the mountain alive, maybe the tiger demon really died under his sword, at least he should have been injured; There are also people who say that the tiger has not become a spirit and is not an ordinary Jianghu people can match, this tiger demon has already become a spirit, how can a swordsman in the rivers and lakes be compared, not to mention that this tiger demon can also command the mountains and tigers, maybe after the swordsman went up the mountain, he didn't see the tiger demon at all, but he encountered a few wandering wild tigers, and he was injured and went down the mountain.

It is also said that the wounded swordsman seen by the people under the mountain is not the swordsman surnamed Shu at all, but he is wrong.

As soon as everyone discussed, it was half an afternoon.

The Taoist went around to the south gate and walked along the grassy dirt road for half a day, and saw the deep wooded mountain, with a ridge like a pig's back.
