I didn't intend to become a fairy

Chapter 322 Deviating to Tiger Mountain

Jinhe County has always been famous for its abundance of tigers, and the ground is full of tigers.

In fact, it was caused by war.

After the war, the population has decreased. Once there are fewer people, the weeds and trees will prosper, the tigers, leopards and wolves that were driven away by people will come back, and the number of demons and ghosts will increase.

However, after Dayan was stabilized, the catastrophe of tigers and leopards in many places in Gwangju was eradicated, only Jinhe County was full of mountains and forests, which could not be eradicated.

When it was at its most rampant, it was even said that tigers and leopards roamed the city in groups day and night, and if no one was chasing them, their courage was also aroused.That is to say, there are so many tigers and leopards that they have changed their habit of living alone, roaming the city in groups during the day, and are not afraid of people when they see them. It's right to break into the city.

Later, some tigers became spirits and became kings in the mountains. They no longer went down the mountains to catch people to eat, but asked the tigers under their command to catch and bring them over.

The officers and soldiers encircled and suppressed it several times, but there was nothing they could do about it.

The Taoist walked slowly to the territory of Jinhe County.

A city gradually appeared in front of it.

The cat was still walking ahead, but couldn't help but stop on the side of the road, stretched its neck high, poked its head through the weeds, looked into the grass, with a strange expression, a little disgusted, and a little shocked, and stood still.

The Taoist and the horse came from behind, and when they passed by her, they turned their heads and saw a pile of rare feces in the grass.

None of them stopped.

The cat wrinkled its nose, finally looked away, looked up at the sky again, saw that its own scouts were not an early warning, and thought it was all right, so he felt more at ease, and quickly turned his head to follow.

Peace of mind, peace of mind, but the cat has always understood the truth of being prepared, so it also trotted to catch up with the horse.

Looking left and right, I saw no one around. I was running, and with a little effort, the whole cat leaped lightly into the sky, spreading its limbs, showing a graceful figure. Suddenly, a cloud of black smoke exploded with a bang. When it landed, it was already a little girl in a three-color summer dress.

Reach out to the horse's back.

"brush……"

A small flag automatically flew out of the bag, landed in her palm, and was put into her bosom by her hand.

This is a lot more secure.

The city gate slowly appeared in front.

There are soldiers guarding the gate. There are two experienced old soldiers in the lead, and behind them are mostly strong men, dressed in armor and holding long guns, looking very heavily guarded.

As soon as the Taoist approached, he caught their attention.

Now the world has already gone halfway, and the investigation of passing customs and entering the city is commonplace, especially in the troubled times in the north, many places are strictly guarded, not only guarding against thieves, but also checking ghosts, the Taoist naturally understands, so halfway through. He took out the ultimatum and handed it over with both hands:
"I'm a Taoist Yunyou from Yizhou. I've been wandering here so far. Please do me a favor."

"Taoist Yunyou..."

An old soldier lowered his head to check after receiving the ultimatum, but raised his head from time to time, aiming at the little girl beside the Taoist and the horse behind him.

There are many experts among the people, and the methods of distinguishing ghosts and ghosts are various, and most of them do not rely on magic skills but experience.The extraordinaryness of this bay red horse can be seen at a glance, and this little girl is too beautiful. A folk gentleman with rich experience can tell at a glance that something is wrong.

It's just that Song You was wearing a Taoist robe and had this unusual certificate, which made him uncertain for a while.

"you……"

"This is my Tong'er, named Empress Sanhua, who has been traveling the world with me for six years."

"Dao Tong..."

"Yes."

"Dare to ask Mr.... this Daoist..."

"It is indeed inhuman, but it has never done evil."

"hiss……"

All the soldiers behind were a little nervous.

The old soldier frowned.

If they usually encounter ghosts who want to sneak into the city and are found out, they will naturally not show mercy, but since they took this book, they are a master of Taoism. Hearing things, naturally can not kill at will.But whether he should put it in or not made him face a difficult situation.

So he couldn't help turning his head, wanting to exchange opinions with another old soldier beside him.

But seeing the old soldier staring blankly at the Taoist, as well as the bay red horse and the little girl behind the Taoist, he leaned over to look at the name on the certificate, his eyes opened wider and wider.

"Old Li, what's wrong? Why do you have such an expression?" The old pawn who asked earlier couldn't help asking.

Even the soldiers behind him were nervous for a while.

The old soldier surnamed Li ignored him, but stared straight at the Taoist, cupped his hands and asked, "May I ask, sir, is this boy transformed from a three-colored cat?"

The old soldier who asked the question before was also taken aback when he heard the words.

seems to remember something.

I saw the Taoist replied:
"Exactly."

"Dare to ask, sir, but... but Mr. Song from Hezhou Yanzhou..."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was stunned.

"Come from there."

The Taoist replied in this way, with the same tone.

The defenders couldn't help opening their eyes wide.

"Oh! You really are a fairy! When the fairy comes, we will definitely get rid of the tiger demon in Jinhe County!"

"Immortals forgive me! I have offended you a lot earlier. It is because tigers are rampant in my Jinhe County. There are tigers in the mountains, and there are many tigers under the tigers. We will strictly guard them, and the tiger monsters will not be able to eat them outside the city." People often turn into all kinds of people or emissary ghosts, trying to sneak into the city and catch people to eat. Over the years, we have encountered businessmen, Taoists, monks, and even passing officials..."

"Don't dare to be called an immortal." Song You could only keep saying this, and then said, "I just heard that there are tigers infested here, so I came here to have a look."

"When the immortal comes, we will be saved!"

"However, there are a few things that I would like to ask the captains."

"How dare you say that you are asking for advice, all the immortals ask!"

"You guys are on duty here. Have you ever seen a swordsman, tall and tall, weathered by the wind and rain, with a slightly dark complexion, holding a sword with a shady sheath, and a black horse, who also came here to eliminate demons?"

Everyone couldn't help but looked at each other when they heard the words.

"There is such a person." The old soldier surnamed Li replied, "Tigers are infested in our county. The county magistrate has sealed the other gates long ago, leaving only this one. The swordsman also came in through this gate at the beginning. Last year, many demons were eliminated in Gwangju, and we also asked us about the details of the tiger demon."

"and after?"

"Then he went to look for the tiger demon." The old pawn surnamed Li said, "It seems that he never came back after that."

"That happened more than half a month ago. I don't know if he found the tiger monster. The tiger monster is not so easy to deal with. I don't know, alas..." Another old soldier also said, But he couldn't help but sighed for the young swordsman.

At this time, there was also a young soldier behind him, holding a long gun, and couldn't help but said:
"Because of the tiger problem, not many outsiders have dared to come here in recent years, but I have also heard that the swordsman seems to be very famous. I went to the Pig's Back Mountain to look for the tiger demon, and I heard that it seems to have come down."

"Oh?"

Song You immediately looked at him.

The young soldier felt a little unnatural, and bowed his head respectfully and replied: "I just heard about it, and that happened a few days ago. I heard that someone saw the swordsman coming down from the mountain, but his body was already torn. It is rotten, with a lot of injuries, riding on a horse, the horse also has injuries, it seems to have gone to the east, and most likely suffered under the hands of the tiger demon."

"I see."

"It's just heard."

"It's okay, thank you for your step." Song You smiled at him, "Listen to your step, the mountain where the tiger demon is troubled is called Zhubei mountain?"

"Returning to the Immortal, we are surrounded by deep mountains, and there are tigers in the deep mountains, but the Zhubei Mountain is the tallest and largest, and the forest is the deepest. It is said that the tiger demon likes to haunt that mountain the most."

"How to go?"

"The immortal walked around the city to the south gate, and followed the road at the gate for about forty or fifty miles. The tallest and largest mountain I saw looked like a pig's back, and it was the Pig's Back Mountain."

"Thank you."

"Don't dare, it's the villain's honor."

"Does the immortal want to go to the city to recuperate? We can also report to the county magistrate to welcome and entertain the immortal." The old soldier who asked the question first asked.

"I'm not a fairy, but a mortal. This is a tiger demon. Since I know what I want to know, I won't go to the city, and I don't dare to bother the county magistrate to greet and entertain me." The Taoist said with a smile. They cupped their hands, "This is my farewell."

"Congratulations to the immortal..."

Everyone saluted and looked at each other.

The Taoist turned and left, the bay red horse followed obediently, and the little girl turned her head to look at them from time to time, her eyes were clear and bright, her appearance was exquisite and lovely, unlike ordinary people.

The demeanor of the Taoist is no different from the legend.

Only then did everyone discuss in low voices.

Some talked about the Song Immortal, some talked about the Tiger Demon, and in the end they chatted, and then they talked about the swordsman.

Everyone asked the young soldier if he was lying, but the young soldier naturally didn't dare to, so they continued to discuss the swordsman who was so heroic even though he had only met once.

It is said that so many Mr. Monster Catchers and old hunters went to the mountain to eliminate demons and died in the mountains, the young swordsman must have suffered a loss; some people said that the young swordsman was peerless, when he asked at the gate of the city, his tone was firm and calm He said that when he left, the tiger demon would be eliminated. It didn't sound like a lie, but now he seemed to be acquainted with the immortal. After going up the mountain, although he was wounded, he came down the mountain alive. Maybe the tiger demon really died there. At least he should have been wounded by that sword; some people say that a tiger has not yet become a spirit, and it is not something that ordinary people in the Jianghu can match. Being able to command the fierce tigers in the mountains, maybe the swordsman didn't see any tiger monsters at all after he went up the mountain, but only encountered a few wandering wild tigers, and then went down the mountain injured.

It is also said that the wounded swordsman seen by the people at the bottom of the mountain was not the swordsman surnamed Shu at all, they just misread it.

Once everyone discussed, it was half an afternoon.

The Taoist followed what the guards had said, walked around to the south gate, walked along the grassy dirt road for half a day, and saw the big mountain with deep forests, the ridge of which was like a pig's back.
