I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

Although Song Yushan liked the atmosphere of Suyang County very much, he could not stay longer.

We only stayed for a few more days, and after Jinda communicated with local chefs and got some recipes for Suyang dishes, we set off and left Suyang County.

However, she still maintained correspondence with County Magistrate Su through the underworld.

After checking the map of Yangzhou, Song Yushan and Uncle Jin went eastward to Jingzhou.

After arriving in Jingzhou, I heard a strange thing from Yinshi.

It is said that there is a tiger monster that eats people and causes mischief in the northern Fuhu Ridge of Jiangling County, Guangyi County, Jingzhou.

Five years ago, the county sent monks to the mountain to kill the demon tiger.

The head of the demon tiger is still hanging on the city tower in Jiangling County!

But now, someone saw that the demon tiger appeared in Fuhu Ridge again.

It looks exactly like the demon tiger from back then.

The people in the county were all frightened, thinking that the demon tiger had come back to life again.

Song Yushan heard about this and went to Fuhuling to have a look when passing through Jiangling County.

Fuhu Ridge was larger than she imagined, a large continuous mountain range.

After spreading out his spiritual consciousness and exploring the entire Fuhu Ridge, Song Yushan indeed discovered two places with strong demonic aura.

One is to the south of the mountain, and the other is to the north of the mountain.

In such a large forest, it is not surprising that there are two monsters.

The strange thing is that these two demonic auras come from the same source, as if they come from the same demon.

The monster's demonic energy is like the monk's true energy, both have personal characteristics.

There will be no situation where the demonic energy of two demons, or the true energy of two people, is exactly the same.

Song Yu used his spiritual consciousness to carefully explore these two places.

The evil spirit in the south of Fuhu Ridge is hidden in a hidden cave.

There are some scattered yellow hairs on the stone bed in the cave.

It looks like tiger hair.

The source of evil spirit is these tiger hairs.

It looks like this should be the tiger demon's cave.

Although I don’t know why these tiger hairs have such a strong demonic aura, the tiger demon is indeed not here.

Then look at the deep mountains to the north of Fuhu Ridge. The source of the evil spirit is actually an ancient temple.

In the monk's room, a big tiger was crawling next to an old monk.

The old monk was reciting scriptures, and Dahu listened quietly.

The old monk was a monk in the Qi Condensation Realm.

That big tiger is the source of another demonic energy. It should be a tiger demon.

Song Yushan was interested. Could it be that the tiger demon was transformed by this old monk?

She ordered Mianmian to fly outside the temple and observe it secretly.

Although this temple is located deep in the mountains, you have to climb several mountains to get to the nearest town.

But the temple is quite big, with a total of one abbot, five monks, and two novice monks.

But except for the abbot, the old monk who was in the same room as the tiger, who was a monk in the Qi Condensation Realm, the others were all mortals.

There were not many pilgrims in the temple, but there were many fields cultivated around the temple.

Apparently it does not live on donations from pilgrims, but is self-sufficient.

Song Yushan observed for a day and found that the tiger had been following the old monk.

He would lie down and rise with the old monk and never leave the temple.

The old monk was meditating, and it lay next to the old monk's futon.

When the old monk recited sutras, it stood by and listened.

When eating in the temple, the tiger also ate nearby. It's just that the monks ate vegetarian food, while the tiger ate vegetables, tofu and meat.

Song Yushan secretly observed with his spiritual consciousness for three days. The meat in the tiger rice bowl was visibly reduced with the naked eye.

"Is this taming the tiger demon to become a vegetarian?"

She was previously curious about whether this tiger demon was related to the tiger demon that was killed five years ago. When she came here, she also saw the head of the tiger demon on the building in Jiangling County.

Although the evil spirit in it was very faint, Song Yushan could still feel it, and it was very similar to the evil spirit of the tiger demon in the temple.

Could it be that the tiger demon really resurrected and entered the temple to practice?

Song Yushan was really curious, thinking that the abbot of the temple was also a practitioner, so he chose to go directly to the door to ask for clarification.

She just landed at the door of the temple and knocked on the door to visit.

The person who opened the door was a fat little novice monk. When he saw Song Yushan, he was stunned and dumbfounded.

"I'm passing through here and want to stay overnight and meet the abbot of your temple. Is it convenient?" Song Yushan asked with a smile.

"Convenient, convenient!" The little novice monk's face turned red and he quickly got out of the way: "Donor, please come in."

"Master! Master! There is a beautiful female benefactor coming to stay for the night! I also want to see you!"

"Jinglu! Stop talking nonsense!"

Song Yushan, who has extraordinary hearing, can hear clearly even through the wall: "..."

Not long after, the old monk came out.

"Fellow Taoist!" Song Yushan made a Taoist salute and changed his words:

"I heard that there was a demon tiger causing trouble again in Fuhu Ridge. I followed the demon and came to your temple. My friend, have you seen that tiger demon?"

The old monk smiled indifferently: "I have never seen the tiger demon, but there is a person who was forced to become a demon. I wonder if he is the one you are talking about?"

"Human?" Song Yushan was trying, but he didn't want to be shocked by the old monk's words.

"Little Tiger!" the old monk shouted into the room: "Come out and tell this fellow Taoist to have a look!"

The tiger demon poked his head out of the room timidly.

"Fellow Taoist, you can use your heavenly eye to see and you will know that what I said is true." The old monk said to Song Yushan.

Song Yushan's heart moved. Before, she used her spiritual sense to detect across the room. She might have missed something.

He immediately used the Heavenly Eye Technique on himself and looked at the big tiger.

The soul under the strong demonic aura is actually a human being.

A young scholar in his early twenties.

Still alive!

But if he didn't use the celestial eye technique, he would indeed see a tiger demon in front of him.

"Why is this so?"

Song Yushan had only seen demons that transformed into human-shaped beast souls, but he had never seen such a beast-shaped human soul.

How could a human become a tiger demon?

"Covered in tiger skin, he was controlled by the demonic ghosts. He drank hair, drank blood, and killed and ate fish. Then the tiger skin gradually grew on his body, and he became a real demon tiger." The old monk said.

"Ghost? The tiger demon can turn the soul of the person it eats into a ghost. Can the ghost also control people to become tiger demons?"

Song Yushan asked strangely.

Although the tiger monsters she had seen did not eat people and collect ghosts, she had also read in the classics that many tiger monsters controlled ghosts and lured people into eating them.

This kind of tiger monster is a monster that cannot abandon its animal nature and has gone astray in cultivation.

"Although the tiger demon is dead, it did not release the ghost before its death. Unless the ghost is released by others, it can only be free by finding a substitute to replace itself.

So they captured people with tiger skins and forced people to turn into tigers and kill people to replace themselves.

This benefactor was controlled by a demon. "The old monk explained.

"So that's it!" Song Yushan felt more enlightened: "Can he still regain his human form?"

The old monk nodded: "You only need to reduce the amount of meat you eat and get rid of the fishy smell on your body, and you can slowly recover your body.

By then, the evil tiger that caused trouble will no longer appear again. "
