Chapter 68: Let it live

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

After walking two or three miles away, he went up to Huangnigang from another fork in the road. Holding the sword, he walked all the way without hurrying or slowing, and walked four or five miles of mountain roads, only to see a big tree with thick water scoops next to him that had been scraped off its bark, revealing a trace of white. Someone wrote two lines on it, which was similar to what the guy in the hotel said, "Recently, there are big insects hurting people in Huangnigang, but there are passing merchants, and they can form a group to cross the gang at three hours." Don't make a mistake. ”

Chang Jin didn't care about it after seeing it, and continued to move forward, almost half a mile away, and a mountain temple appeared in front of him. The temple was no more than a man tall, and the three-foot-high statue of the god was carved out of wood, and the carving was so rough that you could barely see where the eyebrows were. There is also a stone incense burner in front of the statue, and there are some incense ashes scattered inside.

On the wall outside the mountain temple, there is a letter poster, which also talks about the big insect hurting people.

Such a mountain god does not even have an edict, it should be set up by the hunter woodcutter on the mountain, and it is a peace of mind to enter the mountain.

As far as the eye could see, I saw that the white gas above the mountain temple was messy, and only a few wisps of red clouds and mist were fluttering. Obviously, this mountain temple received very little incense, and the ghosts that occupied this place did not even reach the second turn of human immortals.

With such a god, it is already difficult to maintain his own divine position, let alone let him help eradicate the tiger trouble, but it is of some use to Chang Jin at the moment.

Chang Jin had just stood still in front of the mountain temple, and before he could make the sacrifice, he saw a faint black mist rising in front of the mountain temple, and then a gray-haired old man walked out of it. He had a dead wooden cane in his hand and looked very weak.

If it weren't for the thin layer of red light that shrouded his body, Chang Jin would almost treat him as an ordinary ghost.

When the old man saw Chang Jin, he trembled forward and saluted: "The little god Ge Lao Liu, who is a local mountain god, has seen the land master. I don't know if the land lord is here, what are you doing?"

In the realm of the gods, the gods have a keen perception of the power of incense. Of course, this mountain god can sense Chang Jin's existence, but it is also the result of his failure to suppress divine power.

"No courtesy," Chang Jin bowed in return, and then asked, "Some people came to my temple to offer incense, and said that there are big insects in this place, do you know where that beast has settled?"

"It turns out that the land lord is here for the white tiger, the little god is really ashamed, because of the low mana, he can't eradicate the big insect at all, and can only watch it make trouble here. As for its hiding place, it is in the area of Cangsong Ridge ten miles away, far away from the location of the Little God Domain, and I don't know the details at all. ”

"Thank you, when I destroy the white tiger, I will also have your credit when I fall" Knowing the general hiding place of the white tiger, Chang Jin can easily find the other party's location.

"The little god doesn't dare to be greedy. The mountain god hurriedly responded.

This mountain god is a ghost, originally under the jurisdiction of the land, but now he has obtained the power of incense and fire, and he is already a god.

The two positions of the land and mountain god belong to each other, and the Shinto is different, so he doesn't have to be so respectful. It's just that if the court is not here today, the order of the gods is in chaos, and in many cases, the subordination between the gods and spirits is not so clear. Especially those gods with low strength, in order to keep the god position from falling, they have attached themselves to the superior gods, praying for the other party to protect and be safe.

The mountain god was respectful to the young man in front of him, and he was also afraid that the other party would eradicate the white tiger and at the same time knock him off the god position. After all, the origin of his priesthood is unknown, and he doesn't even have an edict.

Chang Jin didn't know what the other party was thinking...... It's just this small mountain god position, he really doesn't have any ideas, a little incense and mental power, and he can't see the present at all.

Leaving the mountain temple, Chang Jin identified the direction and ran towards Cangsong Ridge with steps.

Chang Jin's divine power of shrinking the ground into inches has been practiced to an extremely high level, and his understanding of the earth's leyline aura is far from before. More than ten miles away, but it only took a moment.

As you enter the mountains, the colder the air becomes, and the snow under many trees has not yet melted, leaving bits and pieces of beast claw marks on them.

Chang Jin released his divine sense to sense carefully, but he did not see where the hanging neck white-spotted tiger was, obviously this thing did not inhabit nearby.

He walked forward for several miles, but still found no sign of the tiger.

It would be good if your own Divine Domain reached this place, as long as you release your Divine Sense, you can sense the location of the White-spotted Tiger. It's a pity that this place is already the junction of Tongqu County and Wushan County, and with his current realm, the Divine Domain is far from being reached.

After searching two more mountains, Chang Jin knew that this was not the way to go. He simply stopped, raised his hand and shot down two grouses with a stone, and then found a good wind to start a fire and roast them.

Half a pillar of incense, the air is filled with the smell of burnt meat.

Just as he had guessed, soon there was a rustling sound in his ears. With a slight sense of divine sense, he stood on the boulder and looked intently, and a behemoth from a few miles away hurried to follow the smell, it was the hanging neck white-spotted tiger he was waiting for.

The beast had gone two miles away, and suddenly stopped in his tracks. Before Chang Jin could react, it had already turned around and rushed away.

Seeing the white spotted tiger acting like this, Chang Jin remembered that this fierce beast had a keen sense of smell, and he had fought with it, and it was obvious that the other party had already smelled the smell just now, so he fled in the wilderness.

It's just that Chang Jin is different from the past, and it is impossible for this beast to escape at such a distance.

He hurried after him, flown under his feet, and in a moment he came close and stopped the white spotted tiger.

Seeing that there was no way to escape, the thing also scurried to a halt, half-hunched, and there was a fierce light in its eyes.

Chang Jin is now in the realm of ghosts and immortals, and he wants to kill this fierce tiger and live lightly. So he didn't pay attention to the other party's counterattack at all, but after taking a closer look, he couldn't help but be surprised.

I remember that a few months ago, this fierce beast had bright and majestic fur. How could it have become so wolf in just a few months. His fur was dry and curly, his body was thin, but his belly was much bigger than before. Releasing the divine sense, there is obviously a fresh little life beating.

This thing is pregnant with tiger cubs? Chang Jin felt a little tricky for a while.

Now if you go down with a sword, it will be one corpse and two lives.

Although it is said to be for the heavens, there will also be incense and mental power. It's just that this way of getting incense, he can't take it.

Animals are the most sensitive to threats, not to mention that the white-spotted tiger in front of them is already in the realm of fierce beasts. The intuition told it that the human being in front of him was very dangerous, and he was not an opponent at all.

Even so, the white-spotted tiger did not flinch, but its fur stood up completely, and its mouth roared again and again.

"Can you understand people? If you do, nod your head a few times. Chang Jin sighed and said.

When the words landed, the white spotted tiger's fierce eyes showed a little confusion, and then raised his head and nodded a few times.

"I am the land of Tongqu County! Fierce beasts have cultivated into fierce beasts, and there is no one in ten thousand, and you beast can do this, and you have indeed gained a great opportunity. It's just that although you have the opportunity to be here, you don't want to cultivate in the mountains, but run to the world to cause trouble, you really don't know the height of the sky, and the sin should be put to death. Now that the land lord remembers that it is not easy for you to practice, and you are already pregnant, I will spare your life for the time being.

You want to promise me that you will not feed on human beings in the future, and after giving birth, you will go to the county town land temple to confess your guilt, are you willing to agree?"

The white-spotted tiger had obviously understood, hesitated for a moment, roared twice, and then nodded.

"So, let's go," Chang Jin said and waved his hand.

The white-spotted tiger was half-legged, its two front paws hugged each other like a human, and it swung at him twice before turning away.

The family has its own New Year's goods and Xing Suer's purchase, and Chang Jin can't get involved at all. What he can do every day is to get together with a few familiar classmates, talk about some scriptures and righteousness, and then help his neighbors write couplets.

After this period of contact, Chang Jin became familiar with the neighbors around him, and when he met him every day, he would also say hello. knew that Chang Jin was studying at Mingyang Academy, so many people brought red paper for him to write Spring Festival couplets.

In the sound of firecrackers, the spring breeze sends warmth into Tusu. Thousands of households always replace the new peach with the old one.

In this world, there is no machine to print couplets, and all couplets need to be written. Approaching the end of the year, many students from poor families will put up a few cases in the bazaar, writing couplets for others to earn some money to live.

The paper used in the couplets was cut by others, and Chang Jin only needed to spend some pen and ink. A couplet of a few copper coins, now a little money, he naturally can't see the present. According to Chang Jin's original idea, he didn't want to collect it at all, but just to help people.

Later, when I thought about it, if I didn't charge a fee, I am afraid that many people would come to the door when they heard the news.

If you don't care about those copper coins, it doesn't mean that other people don't care. Whether it is ancient or modern, people who are greedy for small and cheap people always save zĂ i.

In this way, it is not advisable to have a grudge with other classmates who write couplets.

After thinking about it, I had no choice but to follow the local customs.

The content of the couplet is very simple, it is nothing more than blessings such as "Treasures of Nature, Outstanding People", "Men Jichun is always there, people and blessings will stay forever" and so on.

This kind of couplet didn't take a lot of effort at all, Chang Jin only spent half an hour to write a dozen pairs, and he earned a lot of money, enough money.
