Chapter 80: The Bloody "Wealthy" Plot
Niutou Mountain, a hundred zhang high, the mountain peaks are towering, the old trees are rooted, and the pine waves are bursting.
This mountain peak is in the mountains and ravines, the mountains and mountains of Xiniu Hezhou, ordinary, there is nothing surprising, the aura is only medium, only the mountain spring is still acceptable, clear and sweet, contains a trace of aura, and few outsiders know.
Near a cave on the top of the mountain, Niu Man sat in a stone room, calmly staring at the three demons of Tiger Power standing with their hands tied below.
"Say! What the hell is going on? This matter is not so simple, it is by no means an ordinary battle for territory, but it seems to be deliberately picking quarrels and provoking trouble, why are there five tiger demons hitting the door? This king has been entrenched here for hundreds of years, and the big and small monsters have also had several encounters, so they don't look like monsters from the nearby mountains, and they obviously have some grudges against you. ”
Although Niu Man was asking about the three demons, his eyes were staring straight at the boss Hu Li, and it was obvious that this matter was greatly related to Hu Li, and he wanted to hear him explain.
Time was silent, and Hu Li did not reply to Niu Man immediately, his expression was entangled, obviously thinking and hesitating.
Niu Man was neither anxious nor annoyed, so he waited silently. As a good boss, most of the time you have to maintain your majesty and intimidate your subordinates, but occasionally you have to take proper care of your younger brother's life, and it is also necessary to have a long talk.
At any time, the combination of rigidity and softness is king.
From Hu Li's expression and demeanor, Niu Man can judge that this is a demon with a story, and Lu Li and Yang Li obviously know, and there are even some unspeakable hidden.
If at other times, they don't take the initiative to ask Niu Man for help, Niu Man will not eat salty radishes and disturb the private life of his subordinates, and Niu Man still respects the privacy of his subordinates.
But this time, he was encountered, and it was fierce to the level of a fight, so Niu Man had to take care of it.
What's more, the other party actually took the initiative to provoke, and they all came to the door, which made Niu Man very unhappy, after all, he has lived in this world for hundreds of years, and Niutou Mountain has an extraordinary position in his heart, and he is determined to break the casserole to ask the end and investigate what is going on.
"King!"
Lu Li glanced at Hu Li worriedly, turned his head and spoke, wanting to plead with Niu Man, but as soon as he spoke, he was interrupted by Hu Li's waving hand, "Second brother, things have developed to this point, and it's time to tell the king, just because the king slaughtered those beasts for me, he already has a great favor to me." ”
Lu Li and Yang Li were silent, Hu Li sighed, his face was heavy, his expression was sad, as if he thought of a bad past, gloomy and sad, for a long time, he said quietly: "King Qiyu, Hu Li did hide from the king, and today's disaster in Niutou Mountain is also because of me, if it is not for the king to go out in time and help, I am afraid that this Niutou Mountain will be dangerous." ”
"Then tell the story one by one. ”
Niu Man couldn't help but have a hint of curiosity on his face. The "Journey to the West" of this later generation only records what Tang monks and apprentices saw and heard all the way to the west, and other descriptions of this world are just a few words, and Hu Li is just a villain with no background in soy sauce, as for the story behind him, it has not been mentioned, there is no rule to check, and there is no trace to be found.
Moreover, for the fact that the story behind Huli is about to be revealed, Niu Man feels more and more the vividness of the characters, this is a big world, not an ordinary novel that can be summarized in a few words.
"Yes!" Hu Li didn't know that Niu Man's thoughts flashed in an instant, and he said in a dull breath: "Those five tiger demons are from the same clan as me, but the relationship is not harmonious, and I am from the five-colored spirit tiger clan of Xiniu Hezhou, and I was the son of the patriarch of the clan......"
With Hu Li's eloquent confession, Niu Man, who gradually understood the story of Hu Li, couldn't help but complain in his heart: "Wherever you go, you can't avoid the tragic plot of the bloody family, even if it is a small family, it is indispensable to kill each other because of the intrigue of interests, especially the ups and downs of the five-color spirit tiger family, which is comparable to a history of the rise and fall of the 'wealthy' in later generations." ”
The five-colored spirit tiger, which was also brilliant in the past, has produced more than one true immortal powerhouse, and has also had a Xuanxian ancestor in charge, once as one of the many tiger clans under the jurisdiction of the White Tiger clan, fighting in all directions, and also had a small reputation.
It's just that with the change of the times and the smoke of history, the five-colored spirit tiger clan can't escape the way of decay.
Weakness is the original sin.
The Xuanxian ancestor of the clan died unexpectedly in a war, without the deterrence of the ancestor, the clan instantly attracted the covetousness of all parties, that is, the other tiger clans under the White Tiger Throne were also eyeing each other, sharpening their knives, intending to annex the five-colored spirit tiger clan and strengthen the clan.
Under the cover of several true immortal elders in the clan fighting to the death, at the cost of their lives, they escaped with the old and young in the clan, and took root and multiplied in a place in Tiantong Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou.
In 10,000 years, the remaining True Immortals of the Five-Colored Spirit Tiger either died from old injuries or died in new battles, and to this day, there are only a few Heavenly Immortal-level ancestors left in the clan.
Be that as it may, emaciated camels are bigger than horses.
Especially after the battle of the ancient lich and the war of the ancient gods, the demon clan was suppressed by all sides, and the major demon clan forces either closed the mountain and retreated, disappeared, or hid in the dangerous and vicious, miasma-filled Beiju Luzhou, and other stubborn demon clans were either suppressed and enslaved, or slaughtered and exterminated, the demon clan suffered repeated blows, but the abominable slump, and the demon clan on the bright side was not strong, two or three large and small meows, and the immortals were already qualified to be the king of the demon clan, looking down on one side.
However, the five-colored spirit tiger clan was in the turmoil of the demon clan, because the overall strength was weak, and it was directly ignored by the forces of all parties and was able to remain intact, and because several heavenly immortal ancestors in the clan were in charge, they were blessed by misfortune, and from the ethnic group that was always worried about being annexed by strong enemies, it became a force within a radius of thousands of miles from the mighty Tongming Mountain.
Full of warm thoughts**, wealth and silk are moving.
From a small transparent to a "big man" who dominates the life and death of one party, the improvement of their status has swelled their self-confidence, the external troubles of the five-colored spirit tiger clan have been eliminated, and the contradictions accumulated in the past can no longer be suppressed and covered, erupting like a volcano, breeding internal worries, several heavenly immortal ancestors for the power and cultivation resources in their hands, divided into gangs, and attracted all the forces of the family, and the internal fighting continued.
After a hundred years, internal friction continued, until one day a genius in the clan who was favored to cultivate to a half-step immortal accidentally died in a conspiracy to fight for power and profit, several heavenly immortal ancestors woke up like a dream, and saw that the clan's strength was declining day by day due to civil strife, and they were heartbroken and regretted not being at the beginning.
After learning from the pain, under the weighing of the various forces where the Heavenly Immortal Ancestor was located, there was no trace of support, and the tiger power father who belonged to the "three non-dependent" realm, under the operation of many parties, took office and became the puppet patriarch of the five-colored spirit tiger clan, and was pushed to the surface.
