Lan Ke Qi Yuan Chapter 9: The water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river
It?
The merchants were stunned at first, and then their faces turned pale and bloodless, and they all realized what this "it" refers to.
Ji Yuan is also scared. In fact, he is more scared than these foot traders. He is so scared that even his breathing is trembling. But at least he is calm on the surface and looks much better than these foot traders.
The sounds made by four paws and two feet walking on the ground are obviously different. Ji Yuan closed his eyes, which had been dry and sore for a long time, which would make him focus more on his hearing.
The sound is very soft, but it has a heavy feeling, like a flesh pad squeezing the soil and dead branches, and the limbs are staggered and landed on the ground, as if strolling in a garden.
I don’t know if it was Ji Yuan’s misunderstanding just now, but the sound of wind and swaying of vegetation around him was louder than before, and all the night birds in the forest stopped chirping, as if they were too scared to make a sound.
Will it be a tiger? Or tiger spirit?
Ji Yuan's shabby clothes were soaked with sweat. As the sound of claws approached, Ji Yuan became more and more doubtful about the role of such a small number of people in the temple.
Other people in the mountain temple did not even dare to speak out. They clutched the weapons in their hands and huddled behind the fire, looking in the direction outside the temple.
Although they don't have Ji Yuan's keen hearing, they are aware of the changes in the wind, and the branches of the surrounding flowers, plants and trees are swaying without direction.
The atmosphere was suffocating, and all the merchants' faces were covered with beads of sweat.
"Roar~~~~~~~"
A violent roar of tigers sounded from outside the temple, and for a moment the surrounding forest was startled by birds flying. Many night birds screamed and flapped their wings and flew away.
Of course, the people inside the temple were even more frightened, and many felt their feet were weak.
By this time, no one was lucky enough to think that any of Lao Jin and the others were still alive.
Ji Yuan was extremely flustered. Whether it was his previous appearance or his current momentum, it proved that the tiger outside was definitely no longer an ordinary tiger.
Those soft-legged shrimps beside me and myself, a half-blind, scared-to-death waste, would probably make me kneel down even if it were an ordinary tiger, not to mention a ferocious tiger.
But before Ji Yuan could curse heaven and earth in his heart, he was interrupted from his thoughts.
"You and I, the water in the well does not interfere with the water in the river, nor does it matter. When we step into the mountain temple, why do you want to help them?"
A deep, deep sound mixed with the low roar of a tiger came from outside.
Ji Yuan’s heart twitched, he was really a **** tiger spirit! !
But Ji Yuan reacted immediately. The information in the words made his mind feel like lightning. He was thinking at an unprecedented speed, and countless possibilities flashed through in just a few breaths.
After being frightened, the merchants also subconsciously looked at the beggars around them.
‘If you come to a **** place like this, you will die anyway, so why not take a gamble! ! ’
Ji Yuan gritted his teeth, changed his previous fear and humble attitude, and made a strong voice.
"Just because you and I don't interfere with the river, I didn't ignore the scholar's evil spirit when he came. However, Zhang Shilin was a pure-hearted person. I drank a bowl of hot water from him. I accepted his small favor and would not let him go. Let him die like this."
After saying these words in one breath, Ji Yuan's heartbeat was as fast as a machine gun with the trigger pressed, and it was so fast that he couldn't suppress it.
There was silence outside for a while, and Ji Yuan felt that his heart would jump out of his throat in a few moments.
It seems that after thinking about something for a long time, the thick sound of beasts and beasts outside sounded again, but what happened had nothing to do with whether to eat people or not.
"Although I have never met you face to face, I know that you have become increasingly lifeless in the past month since you have been here. Why are you so full of life now?"
Ji Yuan breathed a sigh of relief and just rushed in without a word of disagreement.
His mind was spinning, and he tried his best to squeeze his IQ to think about the problem of the tiger spirit.
Based on the previous words, Ji Yuan first confirmed that he was indeed soul-piercing, which meant that he had occupied someone else's body, and at least three key elements were explained in the other party's question.
First, the tiger lives in the mountains, and the beggar lives in the mountain temple. The two parties have never met each other.
Secondly, maybe this beggar was not simple in the first place, so the tiger spirit did not touch him. Of course, it may also be because he disdains eating disabled people or has mysophobia.
The third reason is also the root of the tiger spirit's doubts. The beggar should have been about to die. Because of Ji Yuan's time travel, the beggar became full of life in the eyes of the tiger spirit.
Ji Yuan only wants one result now, to scare this tiger spirit and ensure everyone's safety. The most important thing is to ensure his own safety.
It's been a while. It would be bad if the things outside were impatient, so I risked my fate. Some stories I had read before and various secondary fantasies quickly passed through my mind. On the surface, it gave people The feeling is that the beggar was silent for a while before speaking.
He deliberately slowed down his speech.
"There's nothing I can't say. It's funny to say that I knew I didn't have much time left, so I was just waiting to die. Unexpectedly, I realized something else and lived toward death."
The eyes of the tiger outside the temple widened, and its claws clawed into the ground with excitement. It is easy to say that it is living towards death, but it is easy to say, but the information contained in it is very scary even for a tiger spirit. .
Two days ago, he saw thunder falling from the clear sky. The aura was so terrifying and unpredictable that he had only seen it in his life. It was not comparable to ordinary thunderstorms and lightning. The tiger spirit at that time even collapsed in the cave.
Today, the tiger spirit suddenly understood that the source of thunder is here!
He is a beast that has become a spirit and cultivated. How difficult and difficult the cultivation is!
And the man in the temple in front of me, who I thought was an ordinary beggar before, could turn into a butterfly and be reborn upon death, and his cultivation level must be extremely profound.
To be honest, this is also the first cultivator that Tiger Spirit has met, but even if he has only seen this one, he understands that this person is by no means comparable to ordinary cultivators.
At this moment, knowing that he was a strange monster to the human race, and knowing that it might be dangerous to stay here longer, the tiger couldn't help but ask with impatience and anxiety.
"Sir, what do you think of my practice?"
Then you may realize that it is too abrupt and immediately add a sentence.
"I have been cultivating here in Niokui Mountain for more than a hundred years, and I am helpless. Now I have exhausted all my methods and cannot make any further progress. Sir, please give me some advice. Mr. Lu Shan is very grateful!"
Even the honorific title is used. It is obvious that there has been a big change from the title to the tone. It is related to the foundation of spiritual practice, which is bigger than the sky. The tiger spirit cannot help but be careless. His practice has been Been sleepy for a long time.
Of course, even the tiger spirit knows that it is taboo to ask about the practice method. Monsters and birds have struggled to realize themselves and cultivate themselves over the years. If they have some achievements, they will be happy for a long time, and they will not tell others easily. He was a human being, so he was careful when asking the invisible beggar in the temple, asking only for a little bit of information.
Since there is no irresolvable grudge between the two parties, they naturally want to seize the opportunity to try and seek advice.
Thanks to the ghost ghost Lu Shusheng, the tiger spirit learned some knowledge about etiquette in the world, and it felt that it should be quite polite.
It was just fear and uneasiness that made the tiger move around nervously after saying this, looking expectantly at the temple, and at the same time being prepared to fight back or escape as quickly as possible once the people in the temple got angry. .
Ji Yuan originally thought that the tiger spirit would appear more intense, but he didn't expect that he would become a bit literate. He couldn't imagine a big tiger outside chewing words.
Throwing aside these ridiculous associations, Ji Yuan calmed down and spoke again, this time much slower.
"May I ask Mr. Lu Shan, how many people have you eaten so far in your practice?"
Ji Yuan knows very well that in this situation, the more panicked you are, the less likely you are to show it. Instead, you should be more forceful according to the situation.
Hearing the questions in the temple, the tiger outside was panicked for a moment. He was so impatient that he dug his claws into the soil without realizing it. Then he suddenly thought of something and breathed out.
Huh~~
A burst of phantom mist flowed out and turned into a human figure in front of him. It was none other than Lu Shusheng.
The tiger looked at the mountain temple with bright lights and shadows over there, and whispered to the scholar.
"Have you heard what I just said? How should I answer so as not to miss this wonderful opportunity? If you can help me this time, I promise to let your soul return to your homeland!"
However, Lu Shanjun never expected that all these low whispers were actually heard by Ji Yuan, which also made Ji Yuan more aware of how much the tiger spirit cared about the so-called secrets of cultivation.
Shu Sheng Lu bowed slightly to Mr. Lu Shan, and then looked towards the mountain temple.
"Previously, I went to the temple to lure people to sleep, but this time I was stopped by Zhang Shilin. This person acts according to his heart. Such people are the worst liers, let alone an expert? Lu Shanjun had better answer the truth. , no deliberate deception is allowed to achieve the purpose.”
Hearing this, the huge eye-catching tiger frowned, his expression slightly struggling, and then he shook his head before speaking towards the temple.
"I dare not lie to you sir. Mr. Lu Shan has not been able to make progress in his practice for a long time. He has no choice but to eat people as supplements. He has been cannibalizing for fifty-three years... But I cannibalize people just like people eat birds and beasts. I have no intention of killing indiscriminately. I am not full." Eat, I won’t eat anyone who doesn’t disturb me during the day. I will only eat the young and strong, but not the old, young, sick and disabled!”
Oh my god! ! ! Ate 53 people! ! !
Although Ji Yuan just asked a sharp question casually to elicit the following words, his feet were a little weak when he heard the answer. The foot traders nearby were even more unbearable, and several of them trembled in fear.
