A small village on the southern border of Yuzhou, bordering Jingzhou, is surrounded by mountains and is somewhat remote. Due to inconvenient transportation, the villagers here live an almost self-sufficient life. And because the place is poor and backward, there are no other villages far and near. Immortal cultivators naturally look down on such a place.
The small place that was originally undisturbed suffered a disaster due to the appearance of Xiangsang and the march of the Ghost Sect southward. The number of strange beasts in the mountains and forests increased greatly, and sometimes they showed abnormal attack intentions. However, everywhere outside the village, there was a... A strong spooky atmosphere.
In the mountain forest, a ferocious tiger stood up and opened its bloody mouth as if to bite a young man in white.
The young man was dressed in white and carried a long sword on his back, which was in sharp contrast to the huge size of the tiger. It seemed that he would be bitten in half by the tiger in the next moment, or even more...
But facing the giant tiger, he calmly said two words calmly.
"Tiger demon."
The tiger demon's movements froze.
Under the influence of Xiangsang, those ferocious birds and beasts have gradually opened up their spiritual wisdom. They can almost absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, absorb the essence of the sun and the moon, and have embarked on the path of practice. They are no longer those ignorant creatures, just like the one in front of them. The tiger demon is already quite smart. With the lock of Qi machine, it feels that the young man in front of it is not easy to mess with, which makes it hesitate several times. The reason for hesitation is that it cannot feel the fluctuation of cultivation level from the young man in front of it. .
A mortal?
He was obviously just a mortal, but he felt dangerous. And because he didn't feel the slightest spiritual pressure from the young man in front of him, this dangerous feeling made the young man in front of him feel powerful. The tiger demon had a hint of shame, and its eyes gradually became fierce, greedy and dangerous.
The young man looked indifferent and seemed to have no concern for worldly affairs. He did not become timid because of the tiger demon's violence. He even had the sword in his hand unsheathed. He just stood there and waited calmly.
The tiger demon suddenly suppressed the dangerous light in its eyes, retreated step by step, and hid in the woods. It looked like it was retreating.
After all, it is the indifference of youth that brings inexplicable pressure to it, which lowers its self-esteem.
The young man did not chase him. After a while, he turned around and walked down the mountain. He and the tiger demon chose to stay in the well and not in the river.
The mountain forest was so quiet that only the sound of the wind was heard. Although the sound of the wind was weak, it was so clear when it hit the ears, so clear that it made people's hair stand on end.
The young man suddenly turned around, and the sword in the sheath had been unsheathed at some point. A cold sword light was like the moonlight, rising diagonally from bottom to top, bringing with it powerful destructive power. It destroyed the space three feet behind him and split it into pieces. The two halves of the tiger's body appeared and fell to the ground. The space was distorted. There was a muffled sound and dust was raised.
The tiger demon's eyes widened, and he had no idea how the young man could see through its figure, let alone how he drew the sword. That simple sword was so powerful that it broke through it forcefully. The young man's defense split it in half. What's even more strange is that even if the young man draws his sword, there is no fluctuation in his cultivation.
However, it has no chance to understand these. The vitality in the tiger's eyes gradually dissipates, and the doubt becomes frozen, and it refuses to rest in peace.
"A wind-attributed tiger monster with the ability to control the wind. It can blend in with the environment and hide. It's a good talent, but it's a pity..."
Slowly sheathing his sword, the young man went down the mountain and left. Not long after, the wind blew again in the forest.
There was a slight breeze, occasionally mixed with the chirping of birds and beasts, and the rustling of leaves, like a piece of music, relaxed and cheerful, as if breaking free from oppression.
If the tiger monster hadn't attacked the young man, it might not have ended up like this. With its talent, it would become stronger over time. It would be the king of this mountain forest, and one day it would grow into a famous monster. , it may be more beautiful, but the results will naturally be different.
But as the young man said, there are no ifs in the world, only pity...
In the village at the foot of the mountain, the villagers were looking forward to it. When they saw the young man coming down from the mountain, they all became excited, and several children trotted up to meet him.
"Brother Luo Cheng!"
"Brother, you are back!"
The young man, that is, Luo Cheng, his stern face suddenly melted away like winter snow meeting the spring breeze, revealing a smile. He picked up a little girl who was running at the front and rubbed her hair.
The little girl wrapped her arms around his neck and looked at him nervously. Her eyes were still a little moist, and she choked with sobs and said, "My parents said that there is a scary tiger monster on the mountain. It is very dangerous. I am so worried that my brother will be hurt."
Luo Cheng's heart felt warm, he touched the little girl's head and asked, "Do you think my brother is injured?"
The little girl shook her head violently. The combination of thinking that Luo Cheng would not be hurt and not wanting Luo Cheng to get hurt made her unable to stop shaking her head.
The villagers also came forward at this time, and a few senior people walked in front, hesitating to speak.
Luo Cheng smiled and said: "The tiger demon has been killed. There is no need to worry about it coming down the mountain again to cause harm."
The faces of the villagers showed expressions of ecstasy, and many people breathed a sigh of relief. A few women gently wiped tears from the corners of their eyes.
The tiger demon is entrenched in the mountain forest and will come down from time to time. The village is at the foot of the mountain. Naturally, it has been persecuted by the tiger demon. Many young people in the village have become the tiger demon's food. They want to take revenge. , but the strength was not enough, and at this moment, Luo Cheng came here.
"But the world is not peaceful now. Although the tiger demon has been killed by me, there is no guarantee that new demons will not appear in the future. In addition, evil ghosts are everywhere causing trouble. In the future, it is better not to go up the mountain to avoid getting into trouble. "
"That's natural, but..."
The villagers commented one after another, and the village chief observed Luo Cheng with some caution.
"Even if there are such monsters and ghosts again, as long as there are strong men here, we definitely don't have to worry. Think about it, because of the tiger monster, the village has lost a lot of young men during this period. Now the girls are in their prime. This is the age when you can talk about marriage, if a strong man is willing..."
"Village Chief, I don't belong here."
Luo Cheng knew what the village chief meant. Before he could finish speaking, he shook his head and refused. The village chief could not hide his disappointment.
"Brother, are you leaving?"
"Brother, don't leave!"
"Brother Luo Cheng, I don't want you to leave, you still have to teach me my skills."
The children around Luo Cheng were all chattering and pulling Luo Cheng away. This made the village chief seem to see hope again, thinking that they were all good children. As long as he worked harder...
Luo Cheng put the little girl down and sighed softly. Just as he was about to say something, his brows wrinkled slightly and his expression became serious. He stared in the direction of the village entrance, where a few dark shadows were vaguely shining.
"Village chief, let everyone go back and stay in the house and don't come out."
The village chief suddenly stopped talking. The sudden cessation of the topic made him a little reluctant, but he soon realized what Luo Cheng meant and subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the village. However, after all, he still did not forget Luo Cheng's instructions just now, let those around him They took their children back. He looked at Luo Cheng and hesitated to speak.
"village head?"
"Strong man, I am relying on my old age to sell my old age. To say something selfish, this small village has no strength and cannot withstand the slightest wind and rain. You killed the tiger demon and saved the village. We are all grateful for this, but when you are not here How can this village survive while we are here?”
Luo Cheng was slightly startled. The village chief turned his head and glanced at the entrance of the village. His body froze and he went back to the house tremblingly.
Luo Cheng took a breath, looked at the setting sun in the west, and murmured: "It's getting dark."
