I am doing meritorious deeds in Liaozhai

It turns out that the tiger demon in front of me was controlled by the demonic ghost using the tiger's skin.

Then the demonic energy on his body should also come from tiger skin.

In this case, it makes sense that it is the same as the tiger-headed demon on the building in Jiangling County.

Song Yushan knew the whole story and after answering the doubts in his heart, he still stayed in the temple for a few days.

I saw with my own eyes that after a few days of vegetarianism, a small piece of fur fell off the back of the big tiger, revealing human skin.

"In about half a year, he should be able to regain the ability to speak, and then we will know the whole story." The old monk said.

"In that case, let me visit again in half a year!" Song Yushan left the temple for the time being and went to the surrounding areas to proofread the map.

Half a year later, when she came to the temple in the north of Fuhu Ridge again, the big tiger's chest, back, limbs, and head had all returned to human form, and he could speak stumblingly.

After Song Yushan arrived, he told the old monk his experience in half a sentence in front of Song Yushan.

His name is Ji Mingyun, from Jiangling County.

A few years ago, he passed the county examination and was preparing to go to the county seat to take the exam.

Since the demon tiger in Fuhu Ridge had already been killed, he planned to take a shortcut through Fuhu Ridge.

Not long after entering Fuhu Ridge, I always felt like there was someone behind me.

When I looked back, there was nothing.

At first, Ji Mingyun thought he was being suspicious.

But as I was walking, I suddenly saw someone blocking the road in front of me.

The man carried a big knife on his back and had a long scar on his face. He looked fierce and not easy to mess with at first glance.

He thought he had encountered a thief, and if he was robbed and held hostage, he would be doomed.

So I grabbed the bag and got into the tall grass nearby, trying to hide.

He didn't dare to make a sound, and waited and waited. Suddenly he felt fog rising in the grass, and then a yellow "cloth" fell from the sky and covered his head.

Suddenly the whole world went dark.

He struggled desperately and shouted for help, but he couldn't hear his own voice, only the roar of an animal.

After he regained his sight, he tried to stand up, but failed to stop. Instead, he fell forward and fell to the ground.

Only then did he see that his hands had turned into tiger claws.

Looking at my feet and body, they all look like tigers.

Ji Mingyun was frightened.

At this time, six people in cloth robes jumped out from nowhere and surrounded him.

They cheered and celebrated: "Finally caught it!"

The leader grabbed his skin, and he suddenly felt weak all over his body. He followed him with a light kick and a heavy kick.

He was taken to a cave.

Later he found out that he had turned into a tiger demon.

Those people are his puppets.

If the ghost loses the tiger, he will find the tiger to support him, and let the tiger eat new people. Then they will have a substitute and can be free.

After the original demon tiger died, they waited for a long time holding the tiger skin, and then they used the tiger skin to turn him into a tiger demon.

Although he was nominally their master, in reality they were able to control his actions.

As long as he is picked up by the demon, he will be powerless.

The ghost drags him every day to find prey.

At first he couldn't bear to kill and eat fishy food, but after a few days, he became so hungry that he couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but take the first bite.

The days of living rough and drinking blood made him feel very tortured. And only if he eats people can the ghost find a substitute, so the ghost likes to find people as its prey.

But it's in the middle of nowhere and there aren't many people passing by.

The ghost can only transform into a living person, deceive and seduce, and has no lethality.

And after all, he was not a real tiger demon, but a big tiger transformed from the tiger demon's skin, so they did not dare to attack young and middle-aged men.

He worked as a demon tiger for a total of three years and ate four people in total.

An old hunter, a woodman who went up to the mountains to cut firewood and sprained his feet, a young man who was lost in the mountains, and an old herb farmer who came to the mountains to collect herbs.

Three of them were frightened to death before they even got into their mouths.

Only the Chai Fu became one of the new demons.

Although Ji Mingyun had to live under the control of the demon, drink blood and even eat people, he never stopped thinking about escaping.

For him, who signed up to study in the Sage Book, such days were the cruelest punishment.

One day, he finally found an opportunity and ran out while the ghost was not paying attention.

By this time, he had adapted to this body and was running so fast that the demon couldn't catch up with him.

He had heard from his family before that there was a temple in the mountains to the north of Fuhu Mountain.

When he was born, the abbot of the temple was invited to pray for blessings. At that time, the abbot said that he had wisdom and welcomed him as a guest in the temple.

However, he was interested in the temple and not outside the country, so he never took it to heart.

At this time of crisis, this temple was the only place he thought of that could save him.

So he ran all the way north until he reached the temple, hoping to seek help from eminent monks.

At that time, a big tiger rushed into the temple, frightening the monks in the temple.

At this time, the old monk heard the commotion in the temple and came out.

He saw the human body hidden under the tiger's skin.

Seeing that he was truly determined to change and regain his human body, he took him in and stayed in the temple until now.

When he said this, Ji Mingyun couldn't help but hugged the old monk and cried bitterly.

He was finally saved.

The old monk comforted him kindly: "In another half a year, you will be able to completely shed your tiger skin and regain your human body."

"Great, maybe it's still too late to take the exam!" Ji Mingyun said happily.

He was worried that something would happen on the road and delay his time, so he set off as soon as the county examination results came out.

At first, he planned to go to the county town, find a place to stay, and then study for a while, waiting for the county examination to come.

Now that I have been delayed for four years, I have no time to go to the county town to review again.

However, after recovering, if I pay more attention, I still hope to catch up with the county examination.

He has been a tiger for so long. Even after he regains his body, his experience of surviving in the wild will be different from before, and he will definitely be able to travel faster than before.

"Then I wish the donor, Toad Palace, success."

After blessing Ji Mingyun with a smile, the old monk asked Song Yushan kindly:

"Do you want to stay in the temple for a while, fellow Taoist? I will ask someone to clean up the meditation room."

"No." Song Yushan said, "Thank you fellow Taoist for clarifying my doubts. It's time for me to get on my way."

She was just curious about the demon tiger's resurrection from the dead. Now that she knew the whole story, her curiosity was satisfied. The resurrected "demon tiger" was also solved by the old monk, so there was no need to stay here any longer.

She was going to continue to the next place and proofread the map.

The old monk saw her out of the temple, watched her fly away in the clouds, and then returned to the temple to chant sutras.

The half-human, half-tiger Ji Mingyun was still sitting quietly next to the old monk, listening to his sermons, feeling the peace of mind, and looking forward to the day when he would fully recover his body.
