After another three years in a trance, Xie Mingzhou felt that the techniques he knew were enough, and he was ready to ponder alchemy and refining tools, especially alchemy, which has always been said to be an inner and outer pill, and it is also useful to think about it.

However, after flipping through the manuscript for a long time, I couldn't start, this alchemy refiner was not something that could be obtained on paper, there was no material, and I couldn't even try it, how could I refine it?

After thinking about it for two days, I felt that I still lacked experience and accumulation, that my master had died early, and that I had not received much teaching, and that many things were built behind closed doors by myself.

On this day, Xie Mingzhou called Yizhen and said to him: "There is a little problem with my cultivation, and I don't know how to solve it now, and your exercises, passed down by the master, are only in the Jindan period, and I don't know how to continue to cultivate after the Jindan, as far as I know, cultivating to the Jindan cannot be long-lived! ”

The master and apprentice went down to the peak, and they didn't use that spell, but only relied on their feet to walk in the mountain, teaching Nayi to recognize all kinds of medicinal materials, and when they met someone, they went in and sat down, and if there was a sick person, they also got a doctor.

After passing through several households, but they all said that there were tigers in the mountains, and the master and apprentice should be careful, Xie Mingzhou didn't think anything when he heard it, but when he heard it, he was obsessed, and he wanted to stay in this mountain and kill the tiger, just because his godmother died in the tiger's mouth, even if he heard that there was a tiger, he was very indignant.

Xie Mingzhou also often uses his divine thoughts to scan this ancient Lou Mountain on weekdays, and has never found a tiger, but when he heard it today, he moved his divine thoughts to scan it, but after a while, he said softly: "yes! There is indeed a tiger!"

But there are not only tigers, but also four, and two tiger cubs, in a cave halfway down the mountain in that Dongjiazhai.

Even if there is a tiger, Xie Mingzhou is also willing to remove this trouble for the mountain people, he said to Yizhen: "Let's go, let's kill the tiger, a good tiger skin, hehe!" The mountain people next to him said: "The Taoist chief doesn't know, this tiger is unusual, the ferocity is abnormal, some time ago more than 20 of us failed to kill it, but it injured two people and fled." ”

When Yizhen heard this, he was very unhappy: "What's so difficult about this? With that, he slapped his palm in the air, and shattered the stones under the eaves in front of the door.

Seeing this, the mountain people were overjoyed, so they said to the two: "Since the little Taoist has such a good ability, then I will ask people to go with me, even if I can't kill the tiger, I won't let it hurt people's lives." ”

Xie Mingzhou didn't want people to be troublesome, but he didn't know how good Yizhen was: "There are so many good people, when we fight the tiger, someone will have to carry it." When the mountain people heard this, they came out and called out to the courtyard dam.

But sure enough, it was "shouting", only to see the mountain man standing still by the courtyard dam, tearing his throat and shouting: "Chen Er, Chen Er!" Only roared twice, and someone returned there, and the mountain man roared again: "I have two Taoist chiefs here who are going to fight tigers, you call more people to help!"

It turns out that although the mountain road in this mountain is far away, in fact, the straight-line distance is not far, and the mountain is sparsely populated, and the roar can be heard on the other side of the mountain, and everyone usually relies on this to contact information.

In less than an hour, more than a dozen people came one after another, all of them young and strong men, with hoes and poles, and before they reached the courtyard, a young man asked: "Sheep's head, where did the Taoist chief come from to fight the tiger? Have you made it clear to others? The tiger is so powerful." ”

The mountain man named Sheep's Head replied: "No matter where they come from, the tiger will not be beaten by him." After that, he pointed to the broken stone under the eaves and said, "See, this is the little road chief slapped in the air, and his hands are not next to each other, so it's okay to beat the tiger, right?"

Several people hurriedly stepped forward to see the stone, which had been broken into more than ten pieces, even if they took the big hammer to hit it, it could not be broken like this with a hammer.

A few people watched the "tsk" sound, but Yizhen stepped forward to show off, pinched a piece of gravel, just two fingers twisted, he twisted into pieces, this group of mountain people were completely convinced, confidence doubled, led by Xie Mingzhou, and went to the Dong family village.

This mountain road looks very close, but it takes a long time to go around the bends, and the group walked for more than an hour before they arrived at the middle of Dongjiazhai, and someone on the village had already seen this group of people, and asked a few down: "What are you going to do?"

The mountain people chattered: "We came to fight the tiger, and these two Taoist masters brought us here are all masters." When the people in the stockade heard this, they all rushed out and shouted, "Go wow, go together, go together." ”

But it turned out that this tiger was entrenched here, and had taken away three or four people, and now they didn't even dare to come out to farm, and everyone was so worried that they couldn't eat, and there were masters who came to fight the tiger, and they were overjoyed, and more than ten people came out in a while, two of them obviously still recognized this Taoist priest, and they shrank behind in fear, not daring to come forward.

Everyone immediately went to the tiger cave, this mountain has long been extinct, even the monkey has never seen one, before the entrance of the cave, Xie Mingzhou stopped everyone, this is four tigers, come out together, if you can't take care of it, it's not good to hurt people.

The master and apprentice walked two steps, far away from the cave, and saw a white tiger, "whew" to Yizhen pounced, this white tiger is covered with white long hair, although it is a tiger, but like a lion, very majestic, Xie Mingzhou didn't care about it, just shouted: "Be careful, don't hurt the tiger skin." Then he broke a branch and stood aside to see how Yizhen fought the tiger.

The other three tigers also pounced at this time, and they wanted to attack people in all directions, Xie Mingzhou took the branch, as if driving sheep, in a few moments, here and that, the tigers roared more than once, and they were all driven around Yizhen.

But said that Yi Zhen saw the white tiger pounced, twisted his body, and pinched the tiger's neck skin with only one claw, this trick is what the master said, regardless of whether he is a man or a beast, as long as he pounces over, just take the back of the neck, even if you have a thousand strength, you can't make it, and then pinch your fist and smash your head, the tiger suddenly softened all over the body, and then beat it, and there was no breath.

At this time, Xie Mingzhou drove the three tigers forward, Yizhen killed the white tiger, he had confidence in his heart, and he was not flustered.

Xie Mingzhou glanced at Yizhen, frowned, and said, "Look at you like this! If the opponent can break your innate true qi, won't you die so much that you can't die anymore?"

Yizhen looked down at this time, and saw that the Taoist robe on his body had been scratched by the tiger's claws, and he couldn't help but be embarrassed, and immediately put away the smug look on his face, and stepped aside and didn't dare to say a word.
