The people at the table all looked at Xu Xian, even Governor Pan couldn't help but say a word to Xu Xian's writing. Xu Xian put down the wine jug, stood up and thought about it, then said with a smile: "There is no whole poem, but there are one or two residual poems for the teacher to taste." ”

Wang Wenhui smiled and said, "You might as well talk about it, I may be able to make it up for you." ”

Xu Xian picked up a glass of wine, bowed down and toasted: "Don't worry about the road ahead, no one in the world knows you!" The first sentence of this poem seemed to answer Governor Pan's worries. The latter sentence is both a praise for the teacher's reputation and a vision for the future. In short, it's a big sycophant. Of course, this kind of sycophant can only be filmed by Xu Xian, a traverser.

Wang Wenhui shook his head and muttered slightly, couldn't help laughing, took the wine from Xu Xian and drank it all in one gulp. I am more and more satisfied with this student!

The night rain was vast, and Xu Xian walked home with an umbrella. Before leaving, the teacher's admonition still echoed in my ears. The newly appointed Xuezheng is a person from King Liang's faction, although he is a small person who can't get on the stage, but sometimes the little people are the most careless in order to climb up. And he is in charge of the study and politics, persuading Xu Xian to weigh the pros and cons and forbear everything.

Xu Xian only replied: "If you can forbear, you are not Xu Xian." If it really doesn't work, the student can make a living by going to be a man and opening a pharmacy. ”

Wang Wenhui just patted him on the shoulder, as if he saw himself at the beginning, how could he have endured it at that time! This disciple still needs to be tempered! With the Pan family here, he must not be able to suffer any big losses. And with his own presence, his fame is indispensable.

Xu Xian also knew that King Liang was powerful and his power leaned towards the government and the opposition. This time, the Pan family joined forces with Qingliu to win back a city, presumably there will also be a change of color. Although the other party is a small person, he is not a big person. Although he has not yet entered the court as an official, he has entered the team first. This is a very fortunate good thing, but it is also a bad thing. Life is always a blessing and a curse!

The road is muddy, close to the door. There were still candles in the room, knowing that they were still waiting for them. This weak woman who is up and down in the world, this caged bird hidden by her own golden house, still needs her own care. Thinking like this, Xu Xian couldn't help but smile.

I'm going to go to the mountains tomorrow to collect medicine, but I have to get up early.

Lonely deep mountains, faint birds, rain and fog in the mountains, transpiring ups and downs. Xu Xian drank a few cups of tea in the tea shop at the foot of the mountain, picked up the bamboo basket beside him, and was about to set off for the mountain.

The guy at the tea shop hurriedly stopped and said, "This little brother, but you want to go to the mountains?"

Xu Xian smiled: "Exactly, I just went to the mountains to pick some herbs, and by the way, I also visited the scenery in the mountains." In fact, the second article is his main purpose, these days ushered in the send-off, he also felt bored, so he wanted to go out of the city. It happened that Qingyutang had a job to collect medicine, so he received it. I think the mountains in the rain should be good!

The guy hurriedly said: "Little brother, you don't know, there have been big insects in the mountains recently, and nearly 100 lives have been damaged. Even the guests who come and go have to travel in groups before they dare to travel, let alone go to the mountains to collect medicine?"

Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, it is not uncommon for tigers to hurt people in this era, but nearly 100 lives are too exaggerated! However, he is a master of art and boldness, and he doesn't care, he just waved his hand and said: "I just happen to know some kung fu, and I really met it, and I can also eliminate harm for the people and be a hero who fights tigers." ”

The guy saw Xu Xian's thin appearance, but he didn't believe it, and he had to persuade him again, Xu Xian had already strode into the vast smoke and rain, and his calm appearance didn't seem to take any big insects in his eyes at all. The guy thought: Maybe he really knows some kung fu, but I heard that the tiger has become a refinement, and if he really encounters it, I am afraid that it will be more than lucky.

The mountain road is rugged, not to mention in the rain, Xu Xian carried a bamboo cage alone, walking in the mountains, but walking very smoothly, if there are others at this moment, you may be able to see that every step of his line, there are white clouds rising under his feet, this step on foot, it is really like walking on the ground, and it really responds to the four words "flat steps".

Xu Xian looked up and saw green mountains and white clouds, which were beautiful. Occasionally, the mountain breeze dances through the mountains with rain and mist, which really makes people feel that the dust is reduced. He couldn't help but raise his head and let out a long howl, and the whistling sound kept echoing in the mountains, startling a few apes and birds, and there were a few more Yuan cries in this whistling.

But the mountain is even more empty.

Xu Xian relied on the memories in his mind to search for all kinds of herbs, and for others it seemed that the hard work was easy and casual for him. Because even if it is a medicinal herb that grows on the cliff, he can also step on the clouds. After a while, there were a lot of verdant herbs in the bamboo cage.

There is no one in the empty mountain, which makes it more convenient for him. Later, he simply rode the clouds directly in the mountains, covered by clouds, and even some people were not afraid to be seen. He usually said that he only dared to do this at night in Hangzhou City, and it was the first time to fly in the daytime. What's more, in such a big mountain, between the soaring, I feel even more open-minded.

Xu Xian couldn't help but think, I can be regarded as an immortal like this! In fact, a cultivator who can enter the step of refining the gods and returning the void is called "human immortal". It's just that the method of the Sea of Stars is to directly enter this step, and then practice slowly, but it makes Xu Xian lose this feeling.

Suddenly, Xu Xian looked down and saw two big men with guns and sticks, sheltering from the rain behind the trees.

Xu Xian wondered, could this be the hunter who hunted tigers in the mountains? It's just that what does it mean to hunt tigers instead of going to the mountains and guarding at the intersection?

Then some clouds fell, and he listened intently to the conversation between the two, and one said: "On such a rainy day, how can anyone pass by, and the boss still lets us guard here, it's really sick!"

The other hurriedly said: "Shhh, be quiet, don't let people hear!" but laughed again, "Yes, in such weather, the big insects don't come out of the nest." ”

"What if the worm really comes?"

"Is the guy in our brother's hands fake? No matter how strong the beast is, it is still a beast, but that chick is really pitiful, and the family has let the big worm eat it. ”

"Thanks to our brother for comforting her!"

The two of them laughed together.

Xu Xian was angry when he heard this, this was clearly a thief who cut the path. I wanted to go down and catch these two people, but after thinking about it, I still had to confirm it again, so as not to accidentally injure people. Then he flew farther, lowered the clouds, and walked up the slippery mountain road, which was the intersection of the two men.

Xu Xian went straight up, and when he was about to pass by the intersection, the soles of his feet suddenly shook, only to hear a click, and the huge trap bit Xu Xian's leg violently, such a force can bite off the leg bone of the person at once.

Xu Xian couldn't help but be furious, the golden light on his body flashed, and the beast clamp couldn't bite in. He just stood silently to see what the two were going to do.

The two men came out lazily from behind the tree, one tall and thin, the other short and stocky. The tall and thin first smiled: "I didn't expect to catch prey in such weather." Looking at Xu Xian, there was an indescribable banter in his eyes.

The short and fat also smiled: "Now that beast has eaten again, let's search for anything valuable first, this dress is good, let's take it off first, don't let that beast be ruined." ”

The two regarded Xu Xian as a lamb to be slaughtered, and they didn't have any pity, they just smiled and stepped forward to search Xu Xian's body. The tall and thin hunter suddenly found that there were no familiar screams and begging for mercy, and couldn't help laughing: "I didn't expect to be a tough guy." I noticed that there was a little blood on Xu Xian's leg, so I felt that something was wrong and stopped.

Xu Xian stomped his foot violently, and the iron beast clamp shattered and swooped towards the two thieves. His golden body is cultivated, not only is his defense amazing, but he also has a divine power when using his golden body.

Only then did the two thieves react, and pulled out the Pu knife and slashed at Xu Xian's body, Xu Xian did not dodge or dodge, but only stretched out his two hands to grab the two thieves, and he wanted to capture these two people alive and asked where the thieves' nest was.

The two thieves saw that Xu Xian did not avoid it, and they were overjoyed in their hearts, but this did not bear you.

But the knife slashed at Xu Xian's head and flew violently, and the tiger's mouth cracked. Xu Xian's hand held the wrists of the two like golden hoops, where could the two thieves break away! They wanted to fight back, but they were pulled and thrown by Xu Xian, and when they heard the two sounds of "click" and "click", the two thieves covered their legs and screamed.

It turned out that among the fallen leaves, there was more than one beast trap hidden, and Xu Xian threw it vigorously, and he suddenly couldn't control his steps and stepped on it.

Listening to the miserable howl of the two, Xu Xian had no mercy in his heart, if he was just an ordinary pedestrian, wouldn't he have been poisoned by them, and now he can be regarded as "self-inflicted, not alive". Xu Xian asked in a cold voice, "Who are you, and why are you setting up an ambush here?"

The short and fat man scolded himself, but the tall and thin one said: "We are just ordinary hunters, and we set up a beast trap in order to capture the tiger, and the little brother blames us!"

Xu Xian's eyes froze, and he stepped on the tall and thin thief's hand suddenly, and when he heard a "click", he touched another beast clamp, and immediately clamped his arm, and there was a sound of metal rubbing against bones.

Xu Xian said coldly: "It's not from the truth!" The two thieves just mixed up scolding and moaning, but they didn't answer Xu Xian's question.

Xu Xian was not good at extorting confessions by torture, and he was helpless for a while, so he just sat on the big stone next to him and looked at the two of them coldly. If I guess correctly, the "person" who will extract a confession will come over immediately.

A tiger roar came from the mountain wind, as if attracted by the smell of blood here.

Xu Xian's face was as usual, but the faces of the two thieves on the ground changed greatly, and he finally pleaded. Xu Xian just sat quietly on the side, and said lightly: "Say!" and he didn't say anything to let them say, he didn't notice it himself, his heart was full of anger, and the golden light in his eyes was extraordinarily rich, but it was full of an indifferent taste.

Seeing that the tiger was coming, the two thieves finally couldn't support it, and while begging Xu Xian to save them, they told the truth in a mixed manner. Xu Xian frowned when he heard this, it turned out that these two people were really hunters, but they were also bandits.

They caught people and gave them to the tigers to eat, and then they went to collect the relics of the deceased and looted the valuable things without arousing suspicion. The benefits that a trader can bring to them are far greater than the profits they can make from hunting, and there is no risk. In the end, the government still has to ask them to catch the tiger, and they have to pay some additional expenses, which is really unprofitable.

Only then did Xu Xian understand why so many people were killed, it turned out that it was not the tiger who killed, but the human person. I couldn't help frowning, if the tiger eats people to survive, even if it is contrary to humanity, at least it is in line with the way of heaven. But what right do these people have to kill their own kind?

As the wind drew nearer, the clouds and mist in the air rolled up, and even the trees in the forest began to move. The second thief's face was pale, and he didn't even dare to wail.

The trees rustled, and the once silent mountain forest suddenly seemed to boil.

With a loud roar, a yellow shadow jumped high from the hillside and landed on the mountain road. Xu Xian opened his eyes and saw that this tiger was twice the size of an ordinary tiger. The tiger had clearly become a spirit, not an ordinary beast.

The tiger paced back and forth, and there was only a little black in a pair of red eyes, which looked particularly fierce. looked at the two people on the ground, but turned his head to look at Xu Xian, as if he sensed Xu Xian's difficulty. He let out a low roar, as if he wanted to expel Xu Xian.

Xu Xian Yiran was not afraid, sat upright, and said that it was to collect medicine, so he did not bring the star-chasing sword. However, there are a few thunder talismans, and they have a golden body protector, and they are not afraid of the tiger spirit. He originally had the idea of killing tigers and eliminating harm for the people, but now that he encountered this incident, he suddenly had no chance of making a move, and he suddenly understood Yan Chixia's thoughts. Now it's about letting them reap the consequences.

The tiger spirit saw that Xu Xian did not move, but he did not step forward to attack, but walked to the side of the second thief, opened his bloody mouth and bit a thief, grabbed and held it, and gently tore it, and cut off the thief. Then three times five divided by two, the two of them were torn apart and devoured. The amount of food is amazing.

Xu Xian just frowned and stared, still feeling angry. Then he was shocked, and saw that the souls of the two people slowly drifted away from their bodies, but they did not leave, but surrounded the tiger, with a humble expression, like a slave, and one of them was still attached to the tiger spirit's ear as if he was saying something, and the tiger spirit fixed his eyes and ears, making a state of thought.

Ghosts?!

This tiger has cultivated to the point where it can control ghosts, and people can kill the tiger and turn into ghosts, but only a tiger that has become a spirit can control ghosts! This is also the innate ability of the tiger demon, just like the dragon is born with the ability to soar into the clouds, and the tiger can control the ghosts without any method as long as he cultivates a little.

Xu Xian couldn't help but stand up, already holding a thunder talisman in his hand. The tiger can ward off ghosts, but at the same time, it will also be ghosted, just like the relationship between the courtiers and the king in the world. Obviously, the two ghosts wanted to persuade the tiger to kill Xu Xian.

Golden spiritual power flowed from his fingertips into the talisman, and the vermilion rune on it slowly shone brightly. Just when Xu Xian was about to attack, he saw the tiger spirit roaring, snatching and tearing the two ghosts apart, and then opened his mouth to breathe, the wind surged, and the two ghosts were swallowed by it, and they were not charmed by it.

The tiger demon nodded at Xu Xian, and then jumped lightly and disappeared into the forest. Where the body moves, there is a howling wind, which is another innate ability of tigers to become a spirit - riding the wind. The so-called cloud from the dragon, wind from the tiger is this truth.

Xu Xian's thunder talisman finally didn't swing out, because he noticed that this tiger had a big belly and seemed to have a pregnant fetus. And what he wants to kill more now is another group of "people".

Xu Xian smashed all the beast traps on the road, and then clouds rose under his feet, Xu Xian flew in the direction that the two thieves said, but in this mountain wilderness, the forests are dense, and there are countless caves, and it is not easy to find the hiding place of those thieves in so many caves.

Those thieves seem to be from Orion, and they must hide the entrance of the cave, but Xu Xianyu is a layman here. So he swam around on the hill that the two thieves said, but they just didn't see it, so they suspected that they had been deceived by the thieves. It's a pity that he doesn't know the way of arithmetic, otherwise as long as he pinched his fingers, he could have a result.

This search lasted until night, but fortunately, the same family said that it was possible to hover in the mountains. I found a stone cave made of several boulders and found some firewood, but the humidity was too heavy, but the firewood was not easy to ignite, and even if it was lit, it would only emit black smoke.

However, Xu Xian first dried the firewood with the sun's rays, and then the golden flame burned, and a bonfire was raised. He also examined the medicinal herbs that he had gathered today, but there were not many. Thinking about today's experience, I can't help but sigh. and immediately thought for sure: Ming said that he would find that group of people and kill them happily, and he couldn't care about any cause and effect.

Xu Xian was thinking about it while gnawing on the hard dry food. couldn't help but smile bitterly: he originally thought that with his own Taoism, it would be no problem to hunt, and he would have barbecue meat to eat at night, but he thought simply. He has no bow or arrow, he can't set traps, and he doesn't know how to hide. Mo said that he was hunting, and he didn't even see a few prey. Even if you see it, the deep mountains and dense forests can't catch up.

Xu Xian thought about it, but he heard a tremor in the bushes in the dark. Two points of green light flickered in the forest mountain, and then a huge black shadow jumped out, but it was the tiger demon again. Xu Xian clenched the thunder talisman and thought: Isn't this guy unwilling during the day, okay, I will get rid of you this time.

The tiger spirit did not pounce, but limped slowly closer, with a whine in his mouth and a hint of supplication in his eyes. Xu Xian noticed that its hind foot was injured and was bleeding down. Then he asked, "You want me to save you?" and then laughed at himself, speaking to this beast.

Unexpectedly, the tiger spirit nodded, and he could understand people's words. Xu Xian was stunned for a moment, only to know that this tiger's spiritual quality had been opened, and he could understand the words of the ghost, so he naturally understood human words. It's just that the body hasn't taken off, otherwise maybe you can still speak!

Xu Xian's heart moved, and said, "I can save you, but you have to take me to find the accomplices of those two people today!"

The tiger spirit shook his head, as if he was a little hesitant, the group of people caught the prey for it to eat, it couldn't be more comfortable.

Xu Xian said angrily: "Otherwise, you can leave!"

The tiger spirit nodded, and Xu Xian said, "Come here!" The tiger spirit walked to the campfire, revealing its hind paws, a position that it couldn't reach on its own. Xu Xian took a look, only to find that there seemed to be something nailed to the ankle of this tiger demon, and he couldn't help but wonder that this tiger demon was not something that ordinary hunters could hurt. Even the huge trap could not penetrate its fur.

Xu Xian reached out to grab the thing, and the tiger spirit was in pain, arousing the murderous surname. Turning his face to Xu Xian, he roared, and the smell was fishy. A pair of red eyes flashed with a reflecting firelight, and if it was an ordinary person, he would be scared to death at this moment. Xu Xian just turned his face to look at him, his eyes flashing with golden light.

After a while, the tiger spirit drooped his head and fell into defeat. Xu Xian held its giant claw with one hand, and the thing that pierced into its claw with the other, and pulled it out hard, blood splattered. Xu Xian found some herbs from the bamboo cage and put them on it.

The tiger spirit gradually quieted down, just gasping for breath, but it didn't leave, as if it remembered the promise it had made. This kind of monster that has just opened its wisdom is the simplest, but it doesn't have the ingenuity of people.

Xu Xian held the object in his hand, but fell into deep thought, this thing was not an awl, an iron nail or something like that he imagined, or even an iron tool, but just an ebony hairpin. The hairpin looked a little familiar to him, but it was covered up by the blood, and he couldn't see the patterns on it.

Xu Xian looked at the fierce tiger beside him and couldn't help but sigh: Could it be that it was a woman who injured it? And looking at the place where it was injured, it should have run away before it was injured to its ankle. Who will be able to defeat this king of the mountains and flee?

As soon as the bonfire shook, the tiger spirit jumped up, and the next moment it returned to the dense forest. After a while, he came back with a wild boar and threw it on the ground. Then he fell to the side. It seems to be a thank you gift to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian couldn't help but smile bitterly, hunting this kind of work, really had to bother the "professionals", and there was nothing polite to do, so he started to deal with the wild boar simply, but only took off a piece of meat from the hind leg and put it on the fire to roast. After a while, a fragrance came out. The golden roast meat dripping with oil and water inevitably made Xu Xian, who was tired of eating dry food, salivate. Even the tiger spirit next to him also cared and sniffed his nose.

In the dark forest, the night rain is boundless. The boy and the tiger sat around the same campfire, waiting for the roast to be cooked. The tiger was not afraid of the campfire, stretched out his huge claws to grab the barbecue, but was struck by the boy with a branch, and immediately retracted, whimpering in dissatisfaction, but there was nothing he could do about the boy who was not afraid of it at all.

The tiger spirit suddenly straightened up and roared lowly, as if sensing something. Although Xu Xian only heard the night rain falling on the leaves, he also felt that something was approaching, and he couldn't help but increase his vigilance.

In the dense woods, dark shadows are gathering around the bonfire. A woman with long hair flew through the forest and landed lightly on the treetops, her cold and beautiful figure seemed to blend in with the rainy night. When she looked at the bonfire through the leaves and the rain, her face suddenly became happy, and she opened her mouth to speak, but she was silent, her lips and teeth opened and closed, as if she was saying the word "Xianggong". The expression on his face suddenly turned to some anger, and then to sorrow, but he waved his hand gently.

It seemed that a silent command came down from the treetops, and there was another twitch in the woods, and the black shadows slowly receded. The woman glanced deeply at the campfire again, then turned and floated away. In Xiao Xiao's rain, there seemed to be a sigh.

(To be continued)
