Live Immortal Cultivation: Ask Daoists to Believe in Science

Chapter 87 South China Tiger
The old Taoist Zhang Zhishun looked at the blazing bonfire, his eyes glowed strangely, and he sighed very much: "Your life is really good, since you were born, you have the real Chisong to guide you."

"The old man has been wandering outside the Dao Sect for more than 30 years, and he didn't really enter the Dao Sect until he joined the Eight Immortals Palace."

"When I was 50 years old, I had an epiphany in my heart, and I found a hillside with strange rocks. The villagers nearby called it Baguading. It is said that it was the place where Fuxi set up the Bagua array."

"I used to like to tell people's fortunes, so I got a Taoist name - Bagua Zhenren. That may be the land promised to me by Laojun, so I built a small Taoist temple there and practiced by myself."

Jiang Yun became interested, so he put on his coat and came to the campfire.

He was cooking by the fire, and asked curiously, "Old Zhang, how do you solve the problem of eating at Baguading?"

"Eat pine needles when you are hungry. It is recorded in Shennong's Compendium of Materia Medica that pine needles are the food of immortals, but you can't eat too much of them. If you eat too much, you will easily get nosebleeds."

"Later, I often went down the mountain to bring some grain up, and ate it together with rice and pine needles. After eating it for many years, my body was free from disease and disaster." Taoist Zhang Zhishun sighed, stroking his white beard.

Jiang Yun nodded, he knew it very well.

Mr. Zhang's way of practice is really scientific. Rice supplements sugar and pine needles supplement vitamins.

When the Volunteer Army entered the North Korea to fight, the logistics supply was not smooth, and it was difficult to transport non-staple food. Many people suffered from night blindness due to lack of vitamins.

Later, the army came up with the earth recipe of using pine needles to make tea, which really cured many people's night blindness.

Moreover, after solving the problem of eating in the mountains, people have nothing to do, but it is easier to enter the state of meditation.

This is also the reason why people from ancient times to the present, when it comes to practice, they run to the mountains.

"This old man has always been a timid person. When I was practicing in the mountains, I was afraid and recited "Lingguan Gao" alone."

"It only needs to be recited ten times sincerely, and the strong wind all over the mountain can blow into the house, every day."

"Later, when I meditated, the wind kept blowing my hair. I felt that it was not good to disturb the Patriarch like that all the time."

"Then I muttered in my heart that I wanted the mountain god to find me a companion." When the old Taoist priest Zhang Zhishun said this, his face suddenly turned red, and even his voice became tender.

Jiang Yun looked confused, what the hell is Mr. Zhang's shy expression?

After the founding of the People's Republic, he was not allowed to become a spirit. Could it be that the mountain god really found him a female fairy?

Well, it could also be a female ghost, no matter what, that's a bit outrageous!
"Young man, believe in science, what the hell is going on in your head?"

The old Taoist Zhang Zhishun gave Jiang Yun a white look, and he continued: "After dark that day, a tiger in the back mountain came to Baguading after howling."

"When I saw the tiger coming, I was very frightened, so I used a stick to make the roof of the Taoist temple firm, but the tiger just lay on the big bluestone at the door, motionless, like this every day."

"I knew it. That was the companion that the mountain god found for me. Later, when I opened the door of the Taoist temple, it just looked at me a few times. That look is very human."

The experience of old Taoist Zhang directly made Jiang Yun unable to deal with it.

The South China tiger in the Wudang Mountains has not been exposed for decades, and many people suspect that it is extinct.

Uh, no, in the era Zhang Lao lived in, maybe he would really meet a South China tiger.

Of course, it is also possible that Mr. Zhang was lonely and unbearably alone in the mountains, and he had hallucinations, and mistakenly regarded Daqingshi as a tiger.

"As evidenced by the Patriarch of Sanqing, the old man has never told a lie in his life. Why do you always look at me with doubts?"

"To tell you the truth, later a fellow Taoist went up to the mountain to look for me. He also saw the tiger, but he was scared away on the spot."

"It's a pity that from that day on, that tiger stopped coming, and I went down the mountain after a while." The old Taoist Zhang Zhishun said regretfully.

He really misses his life in seclusion and practice.

"Mr. Zhang, don't blame me for talking too much. Who is that fellow Taoist who came to see you?"

"Chen Yunlong, the head of the Wudang faction, with his testimony, do you think this old man will talk nonsense?"

Jiang Yun: "..."

He could tell from a few contacts that Senior Brother Chen of the Wudang Sect might have a poor cultivation level, but he was absolutely honest and reliable.

Since Mr. Zhang dared to say that he was his own evidence, then the tiger incident is probably true.

Hey, sleeping with the South China tiger for more than a month, it's quite exciting to think about it.

"That's all, it's no fun chatting with you kid, let's go to sleep!" Senior Taoist Zhang Zhishun threw a slightly damp wooden stake into the bonfire, then got into his sleeping bag, and fell into a deep sleep within a few minutes. past.

Seeing this, Jiang Yun looked around, and when he found that there was no movement, he also hugged Xiaobai and got into his sleeping bag.

The night deep in the mountains seemed quiet.

Mr. Zhang was snoring like thunder, but Jiang Yun had a dream.

In his sleep, he felt something lying on his chest. It was soft and warm, and it was still rubbing against it.

Alas, it's time to urge Xiaobai to lose weight tomorrow, that little guy is really a bit overwhelming now!

Jiang Yu was in a daze, he felt something rushing to his feet, and he shivered, but the oppressive feeling in his chest still existed.

hiss!
If the thing at his feet is Xiaobai, then what is the thing pressing on his chest?
Jiang Yun opened his eyes, and with the faint light of the bonfire, he found a big thing lying between himself and Mr. Zhang's sleeping bag.

That thing is fat and strong, like a cat, with yellow, white and black patterns all over its body.

"Identify the popular creature on the Internet, this thing is definitely an authentic South China tiger!"

Jiang Yun estimated in his mind the difference in combat effectiveness between himself and the South China Tiger.

The thing's tail was thicker than a human's arm, and its front paws were almost as big as a human's face.

His calf suddenly felt cramped, no wonder Xiaobai got into his sleeping bag, the South China tiger is indeed a bit scary.

"Roar~~"

The South China Tiger let out a low growl, and moved its face and body closer to the old Taoist Zhang Zhishun.

Jiang Yun glanced sideways, he hesitated, but finally made up his mind, no matter what, it's important to save people first!
In this case, even if the South China tiger is killed, it is an emergency escape!
Because no matter compared with any animal, human life is the most precious life!
"Beast, die!"

Jiang Yun jumped out of the sleeping bag, turned over and rode on the back of the South China tiger, grabbed the back of the tiger's neck tightly with his left hand, clenched his fist with his right hand, and smashed it directly.

When the sleeping South China tiger woke up, it let out a low growl in pain: "Roar~~"

The old priest Zhang Zhishun also woke up from his sleep when he heard the movement.

As soon as he woke up, he watched Jiang Yun hammer the South China tiger with its head down.

"Brother Tiger, why are you?"

"Jiang Xiaoyou, stop your hands first, this thing can't be hammered!"
