Chapter 35
Qi Jingzhi's tone was very brisk: "Second Master Chen stopped me that day, saying that the tigers in Nangang were rampant, and the gentlemen in the county were worried day and night, so I told Grandpa that if you don't want to eat anymore, you should immediately go to Nangang to serve as a servant. .”

Wan Dutou tried his best to suppress the horrified look on his face, but when he saw the boy was so honest, his face turned pale with a brush, and he even held down the handle of the knife at his waist without hesitation.

Qi Jingzhi continued, as if he hadn't seen him, and continued: "I told Chen Erye at the time that my family teacher, Master Meng, had already paid a visit to Master Dianshi, and he was relieved of my family's job of fighting tigers. If you want to order my grandfather, you must first ask Dianshi Say it again, Master! Second Master Chen changed his face on the spot, cursed and left."

Hearing this, Wan Dutou's expression softened visibly: "Really?"

"It's absolutely true! This kind of thing can't be faked at all. My lord can ask Master Dianshi and Master Meng to find out. Why should I lie?"

Qi Jingzhi took off the tiger's skin as he spoke, revealing an inconspicuous long knife with a black sheath on his back.

"Everyone, please see. To express my gratitude, I went to the mountains and ran for several days. Only then did I hunt a fierce tiger. I took off the skin and was about to send it to Master Dianshi."

Qi Jingzhi held the tiger skin in his hands and showed it to everyone. Several yamen servants were standing far away, but at this moment they rushed forward in disorder. , staring at the scorched black on the back of the tiger skin.

The old man Qi was full of thoughts just now, so he didn't pay attention to take a closer look, and now his face was also full of shock.

He grabbed his grandson and touched him up and down, and then he felt relieved, but he still couldn't stop complaining: "I won't stop you if you want to practice martial arts, but you've only practiced for a few days. Do you dare to fight for such a beast?"

Old man Qi said, then looked at Jiao Yulang at the side: "Why did you pick up a baby?"

"Grandpa, my name is Jiao Yulang, and I'm the life and death brother of brother Qi's family! When he beats the tiger, I'm right beside him!"

Jiao Yulang bowed to the old man Qi, and said to everyone present with a smile: "You guys didn't see that the beast was begging for mercy when it was about to die, and kept yelling for mercy, Grandpa. My brother thought it was noisy, so he gave it to him with a knife." Stabbed to death!"

"Tsk tsk, the tiger meat was deliciously roasted. We ate it hard for half a day and made our belly round, but we didn't eat much. It's a pity that it was too far away from the mountain, so we threw it all away."

Jiao Yulang was young, and he was born in pink and jade, and he described the scene of killing tigers and eating meat so vividly, everyone believed most of them immediately, and couldn't help being amazed.

Only Wan Dutou's face was frighteningly pale, and his eyes wandered between Qi Jingzhi and Hupi.

After a long time, he came back to his senses, forced a smile and said: "Brothers, it's just a routine thing to come here today. Brother Qi is not only a student of Master Meng, but also has the favor of Master Dianshi. He is one of us. How about that?" What can I say?"

He took two steps forward, avoiding the tiger's head, and whispered into the young man's ear, "This is... the other side of Nangang?"

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's heart was moved, and he immediately knew about the tiger spirit. There are also people who understand in the county government, and this Wandutou in front of him is one.

He glanced at the other party, his eyelids drooping slightly, and he seemed to be nodding his head.

Wan Dutou's breathing became a little rough immediately.

The next moment, he seemed to have made up his mind, and said with a joyful smile: "Unexpectedly, in our Songling County, there will be such a young hero as Brother Qi, who will single-handedly eliminate this great harm for the people!"

As he said that, Wan Dutou embraced Qi Jingzhi's arm very affectionately, turned around and gave a loud order to the servants: "Go quickly and call all the villagers, the township leaders and the big households here, and light the torches in each family, and bring them with you." Qi Dahong silk and satin, firecrackers, gongs and drums, and send brother Qi and this tiger skin to the county government together! The gentlemen will be happy to see it, and the benefits of everyone will be indispensable!"

As soon as he said this, all the yamen servants came back to their senses, applauded loudly, turned their heads and went to Shanqian Village.

Qi Jingzhi didn't expect the other party to make such a sudden move, frowning, and was about to refuse.

Wan Dutou observed his words and expressions, and hurriedly lowered his voice and said: "Brother, Chen Er just whispered to you the day before, and the man disappeared the next day, and Master Dong of Wuyun Division even said in front of the whole county's elders that you killed him." If you are extraordinary, I will embarrass you on the spot... These things are well known and cannot be covered up no matter what."

Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's brows suddenly relaxed, and he said with a smile: "Wandutou, as the saying goes, things happen by coincidence, and things happen by chance! It's better not to mess around with these things that have no shadow!"

"Isn't it a coincidence!"

The head of Wandu couldn't hear the bitterness in the young man's words, and nodded hurriedly: "Master Dong went to Nangang, and many hunters saw the man-eating beast buried in the fire with their own eyes. After finding the corpse, everyone is still trembling when they pass the post."

"Who would have thought that it escaped from birth and hid in Xiaosong Mountain, but it didn't have eyes, so it bumped into Brother Qi's iron plate! To be honest, Wan's family also has some business, and it was killed by this beast. If you make a fuss, you will lose a lot..."

Speaking of this, Wan Dutou actually showed gratitude: "Seeing that the food and clothing of dozens of people in the family are about to be lost, luckily my brother took action to completely eliminate this scourge! Wan has always respected heroes the most in his life. Today I hit it off with my younger brother, and I must make a name for you!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and finally he patted his chest and promised: "With the credit for killing tigers and eliminating harm, and endorsed by all the masters in the county, Brother Qi is not only Wan Mou's benefactor, but also the people of the whole county." My benefactor, whoever dares to chew his tongue, Wan will be the first to let him go!"

The old man Qi listened from the beginning to the end, and gradually tasted some flavors, and said: "Respect, I think Wandutou is a person who values ​​friendship. After all, he has dozens of connections with him, and he is mature and prudent when he speaks and does things. You might as well just listen to him."

Hearing Grandpa's words, Qi Jingzhi took a deep look at Wandu's head, and then nodded slightly.

Wan Dutou was overjoyed, his pale face suddenly became a little rosy, and he said in an excited tone: "My subordinates are still a little edgy, please stay here for a while, Wan Mou will take a step first and call my brother Stand up!"

After all, he seemed to be afraid that the young man would misunderstand, and added: "Wan is not trying to play some tricks, the Nangang tiger spirit is so fierce, he was skinned by my brother, how dare I do anything wrong?"

Seeing the boy nodding again, he clasped his fists together and left in a hurry.

Jiao Yulang looked at Wandutou's back, clapped his hands and laughed, "Brother, my little brother has opened his eyes today. He really underestimated these ordinary people before."

Qi Jingzhi smiled at him, also feeling a little emotional: "There are all kinds of people in the world, each has its own way of life."

The old man Qi snorted, and said angrily: "You have become more and more lawless recently, and you should learn from this Wandutou. You have a pair of tricks that are sharp, and you shrink your head when you should. It's better than losing it. Live strong!"

"Haha, since that's the case, why did Grandpa insist on standing up for the hunters, and insisted on receiving twenty spine sticks?"

The old man Qi immediately said angrily: "Fart! Twenty spine sticks or risking death to beat a tiger, a fool knows which one to choose! You want to be brave, if you are eaten by this tiger essence, won't my old man die?"

Seeing that Grandpa was angry, Qi Jingzhi didn't dare to play tricks anymore, and quickly took out the white hair that the old man gave him.

"Grandfather, the tiger spirit was actually killed by the senior mandrill under the seat of the mountain god, and my grandson just helped from the side. Before parting, the senior plucked the hair on the back of his head and gave it to me, saying that he would be in danger in the future. If you need to ignite the hair, it will come to the rescue."

The old man Qi stared at the snow-white hair in his grandson's hand, and was a little dazed for a moment: "Master Mountain God? Senior Mandrill? This mandrill...isn't it the legendary mountain ghost?"

Hearing this, Jiao Yulang jumped out immediately, blah, "Grandpa, you didn't see that, that senior is covered in white hair, he's as tall as four of me stacked up, his arms are thicker than my waist, and he slapped him with a mouthful." It can chew off half of a tiger's leg! With its protection, Xiao Songshan will let his brother come and go, and there is nothing to be afraid of!"

　Regarding the issue of eating tiger meat, before the tiger monk put on the tiger skin for the second time, even though he still had a human form, he was already a monster who was addicted to eating people. It is also a demon body, and it is undoubtedly a demon from the inside out, so it should be edible, right?
