Chapter 4 The Eagle Tiger Mountain God

Listening to Cui Wan'er and Kou Sanniang only talk about some private matters, Liu Yanchang was still a little impatient, but he promised that Cui Wan'er would ask about this matter, so he had to let her.

Gradually, Liu Yanchang listened to the side, and found a lot of clues.

Kou Sanniang was originally a wealthy family in Juliu Town, Ziyang County, and the youngest daughter of Kou Hong. The Kou family is also a wealthy family in Juliu Town, but Kou Hongqi is a typical miser and miser, not only an iron rooster. In the face of his daughter's marriage, he also has a big package, and he wants to marry Kou Sanniang to a rich businessman in Ziyang City.

Kou Sanniang heard that her future husband was a rich second generation who could not write or do anything, and only knew that he could sleep in flowers and willows, and she was very resistant. After several fruitless negotiations with his father Kou Hong, he took advantage of the night to escape from the house.

But her life was really bad, and when she was about to take the ship, she unfortunately met a flower thief. When the man saw that she was born beautiful, and that she was alone, he immediately had a crooked thought.

Kou Sanniang is also very strong, desperate to obey, forced to jump, jumped off the boat, and disappeared into the boiling river.

She thought that her life was over, but she didn't know that the heavens would not fulfill people's wishes, and when she woke up, she naturally saw the old woman selling tea. I also learned that I had become a water ghost and couldn't survive, so I could only go to hell to reincarnate in the next life after finding a stand-in with water weed.

Under the temptation and threat of the old woman, Kou Sanniang had no choice but to help her do evil, and led passers-by to drink the water mangcao tea with her young beauty.

It's just that the promise that she can find a stand-in to support her life has not been fulfilled for a long time, and after a long time, Kou Sanniang is naturally suspicious. The old woman told her that the passers-by who drank the poisoned tea did not die, but were all saved by a monastery called Baixian Nunnery.

So far, she still hasn't been able to find a stand-in, and this water mangweed poison tea has to continue to be sold.

Kou Sanniang has joys and sorrows, and the joy is that although she has done evil, she has not harmed others after all. I am worried that I don't know how long I will last like this, I can't control my own destiny when I live, and I am still enslaved after I die.

Liu Yanchang only had one feeling after hearing this, most of the lucky people in the world are the same, but the unfortunate people have their own misfortunes. Cui Wan'er's family is unlucky, and Kou Sanniang's life is unfortunate, in short, they are all people worthy of sympathy and help.

"Miss Kou, do you know where the old woman is staying?" asked Liu Yanchang.

After Cui Wan'er's careful conversation with her, although Kou Sanniang still has a grudge against Liu Yanchang, she is already much better. After hesitating for a moment, he said: "The only place I know is the mountain temple on Yunpan Mountain, but I don't know if she is still there!"

"Yunpan Mountain, Mountain Temple, let's go now!" Liu Yanchang has no choice now, and after careful research, since there is this vine, he can only follow the vine and talk about it.

Liu Yanchang let the two female ghosts hide in the ancient jade, he untied the carriage and rode a fast horse to Yunpan Mountain.

Yunpan Mountain is in the north of Juliu Town, and the mountain is towering into the clouds, like a soaring dragon. Because it is famous in this area, it is clear to ask a farmer on the side of the road.

It's just that the old farmer said that if you want to pray to the gods, it is not recommended to go to the abandoned mountain temple, or the newly built Baixian Nunnery a few months ago is more effective.

Liu Yanchang thanked the old farmer for his kindness, but he did not ask God to pray, but to pick quarrels and provoke trouble. However, the name Bai Xian'an appeared in his ears again, which made him pay attention to it.

Climbing all the way, the mountain is high and the road is dangerous, and in the end, Liu Yanchang can only abandon the horse and walk, and the cold wind is biting all the way, which is really difficult.

I don't know how long it took, the sun was setting, the sky was dark, and Liu Yanchang saw the shadow of an ancient temple in the clouds and mist in the middle of the mountain.

Liu Yanchang approached the temple and saw that the plaque was still there, but the gold paint had faded, and only the barely recognizable five big characters "Eagle and Tiger Mountain Temple" remained. The walls of the temple were in tatters, the red paint of the two gates was peeling, the temple doors were empty, cobwebs were entangled, and there seemed to be no lights inside.

Liu Yanchang sighed in his heart, it seems that he has found the wrong place, and the old woman probably has long since taken this place as a foothold.

It's just that it's getting late now, and the way down the mountain is even more difficult, so I have to pay attention to it for another night. I'll make plans tomorrow to find out my sister's whereabouts.

Liu Yanchang pushed open the temple door, and the courtyard was full of dead leaves and grass, accumulating half a foot thick, and even the original path was submerged in weeds.

Looking around left and right, what catches your eye is a statue of a god, the statue is covered with dust and cobwebs, like the former incense case is broken, and the incense is cut off. However, there is one thing worth commendating, that is, the idol is more than a foot high, the face is hideous and terrifying, the goshawk is squatting on the shoulder, and the tiger is lying under the crotch, which is extraordinary.

It seems that this Eagle Royal Tiger is the origin of the name "Eagle Tiger God".

"I don't know if this mountain god really exists!" Liu Yanchang muttered to himself, he wanted to wait for Cui Wan'er to answer, who knew that after having Kou Sanniang's sister as a companion, he would rarely pay attention to him.

Liu Yanchang had nothing to do, so he simply looked left and right in the temple, and found that there were several ginkgo trees planted behind the temple, all of which had thick branches, and they were two or three hundred years old, to say the least. The ginkgo biloba leaves all fall to the ground, making the ground golden and beautiful.

Liu Yanchang simply sat cross-legged under the tree, closed his eyes and contemplated "Nine Changes of the True Dragon", which was regarded as a rest.

At night, the moon is beginning to rise and the light is hazy. In such a remote mountain temple, there were two more people, an old man and a young man. The old man was about fifty years old, but he was still strong, and his beard under his chin was as long as his chest. The boy is about 20 years old, and he looks like a tiger.

The two walked into the temple one after the other and went straight to the top of the main hall.

The young man shuddered suddenly, sniffled and said, "Master, this ghost weather is too cold, it's better to make a fire!"

The old man thought for a moment and said, "It's okay, you go out to find some firewood and come back, remember not to go far!"

The young man smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, where can't you get some firewood in this ruined temple?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he flew and kicked towards the dilapidated wooden door. Hearing only the sound of "click", the old temple door shattered, and the young man cleaned up the damaged wooden door as firewood.

The old man's face changed greatly, and he said angrily: "You bastard, how can you be disrespectful to the mountain god?"

The young man laughed: "Master, you are too stupid." If there really were gods in this mountain temple, how could it be so dilapidated and devoid of incense?"

The old man sighed and said, "If you worship God, whether there are gods or not, you shouldn't do such a thing." Tonight, if this mountain temple shelters us from the cold of wind and frost all night, we should be grateful, and how can we take revenge? If everyone is like you, I am afraid that the mountain temple will be destroyed long ago, will we not sleep in the mountains and forests?"

The young man's face was slightly cold, and his face was impatient, obviously not listening to a word. In the face of the dim firelight, his eyes kept changing, and his hand kept groping for the hilt of the knife at his waist, these small movements had already foreshadowed his terrible psychology.

It's just that the old man didn't notice it at all, and was still chattering, perhaps he never expected that his beloved disciple had already moved to kill.

Suddenly, the young man drew his sword and burst out, and the blade reflected the firelight, like a poisonous snake spitting letters, piercing the old man's heart.

The old man fell to the ground unwillingly, with blood foaming in his mouth, and asked, "You, why do you want to kill the teacher?"

The young man smiled coldly, his young face had already become hideous and terrifying, and he said in a cold voice: "Master, it's all your fault for being too upright! If you know that I killed the widow in Kuli Village and killed her young son, would you let me go?"

The old man spurted out a mouthful of blood, but he was already dead.
