Naturally, the tiger spirit in the palace could not guess what the young man was thinking, so he continued on his own: "Since you have heard of me, you should understand that today is your destiny. Kowtow three times in front of the palace, put down your weapons, Take off your clothes and come into the hall by yourself!"
Hearing this, the old red fox straightened up and turned to look at Qi Jingzhi. The happy and proud expression on his face clearly said: "You have today too!"
But it was afraid of offending the tiger and making him change his mind, so he had to endure it without saying a word.
Qi Jingzhi was silent for a long time, then suddenly grinned, not hiding the sarcasm in his words: "You still want to take off your clothes? They say that you never tire of fine food and fine meat. Your Excellency is quite particular about how you eat. In this case, please bear with me. How about I take a bath first to get rid of the dirt on my body, and then go to the palace to die?"
"Oh? You're a wonderful young man!"
Hearing this, the tiger spirit in the palace was surprisingly good-tempered, showing no signs of getting angry. Instead, he said in a leisurely tone: "Did you know that for a glib person like you, the tongue is the crispest?" For the juice, you have to bite your throat while it’s hot, pull it out and chew it, so that you don’t live up to the delicious food.”
It paused and then added: "By the way, you are also very courageous. This is another benefit. You don't have to worry about being scared out of your wits and causing bile to ruin the taste of your organs."
"Hey, you've learned a lot about cannibalism!"
Qi Jingzhi laughed back angrily, and his eyes suddenly turned as cold as a knife: "You have been talking nonsense for a long time. It seems that you are sure of winning, but you just want to play cat and mouse before the meal. In fact, you are just fierce and cruel, and you only want to win. Scare me away?"
"You were afraid that I would be so frightened that my legs would weaken and you wouldn't even dare to try to escape, so you didn't hesitate to expose your own shortcomings and deliberately mentioned the fire that burned the demons to make me feel lucky. Hey, you really have good intentions! "
Qi Jingzhi said, suddenly took two steps forward, stretched out his left hand like lightning, and grabbed the old red fox by the neck.
Before the old guy could react, the young man stabbed him in the throat with a knife.
The tip of the knife instantly penetrated the brain, and the old red fox kicked his legs to finish the attack.
Qi Jingzhi pulled out his sword, threw the fox corpse on the ground, looked at the silent hall and sneered: "I still don't believe it, you escaped with your life from the Wuyunsi Jinyun envoy, you really can escape unscathed ? Since you asked me to go into the palace to receive death, I should go in and open my eyes to see who of us will eat whom!"
Without waiting for the tiger spirit in the palace to respond, the young man flew up and kicked the palace door violently.
With a clang, this wooden door that seemed to fall down when pushed was surprisingly strong. Even after Qi Jingzhi kicked it hard, it just swayed out of the way and showed no intention of falling apart.
As the palace door opened, the early morning sunlight immediately dispelled the darkness in the palace, coating everything inside with a layer of golden color.
In the main hall, a huge statue of a god in white stands on the central altar.
This statue of the god is bright in color and as clean as new. It is very different from the dilapidated scenes that can be seen everywhere in the temple. Unfortunately, the head on the neck is missing. It does not look sacred, but looks a bit desolate and weird.
There is a row of futons placed on the ground in front of the statue. On the futon in the middle, there is a person sitting cross-legged facing the temple door.
"No, it's not a human being!"
When Qi Jingzhi saw the other party's appearance clearly, even though he had been prepared in his heart, a look of shock could not be suppressed on his face.
Sitting cross-legged on the futon is a half-man, half-tiger monster!
Taking the chest as the dividing line, the monster's upper body is that of a handsome young man with closed eyes. The top of his head is bald, and there is a red brow mole between his eyebrows. He has no hair on his body and his skin is as white as jade. The muscles are well defined.
Its lower body is the body of a fierce tiger. Its two furry hind legs barely sit cross-legged like a human being, exposing its snow-white belly. A thick and long tiger tail sticks out from behind itself and coils on the ground.
This half-human, half-tiger monster was extremely tall. Although it was sitting on a futon on the ground, it was still a head taller than Qi Jingzhi.
His face was illuminated by the sunlight outside the palace, and his eyelids moved. When he opened his eyes and saw the young man, he actually grinned.
Its eyes are as soft and gentle as its voice, and its smile is as warm and bright as the morning sunlight.
Qi Jingzhi stared at the monster closely, slowly raised his legs and crossed the threshold, standing in the hall.
In just a moment, the tiger skin on the monster's chest quietly disappeared, revealing the delicate and fair human skin.
This scene is like... peeling off!
First, he heard a group of foxes sawing trees, and then saw a tiger peeling its skin. The young man in the mountains took a deep breath and felt that this trip was worthwhile.
"As the donor saw, I am not an alien, just a poor monk wrapped in tiger skin. The young monk encountered a powerful enemy and faked his death to escape. Fortunately, he found this hall to hide. He was able to use the remaining divine power in the hall to fight against the tiger skin. of animality.”
The half-human, half-tiger monster smiled sadly, and was even more beautiful than the woman: "This is the critical moment for the little monk to shed his skin and escape. Because he didn't know the details of the benefactor, he had no choice but to lie. Please forgive me!"
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi's eyes flashed and he was noncommittal, but slowly but resolutely took two more steps forward.
The face of the monster who claimed to be a monk changed slightly: "Donor! When the young monk was in Nangang, he was controlled by animal nature and lost his mind. He actually caused endless bad karma. Although it was not from his heart, he knew that his sins were serious and that he would never be redeemed by death! Donor if you want To eliminate harm for the people, the little monk is willing to kill him at his neck!"
"There's just one thing. The merchants who were killed by the monk left behind a lot of property, which was needed for food, clothing, and food for the young and old in their families. If they are not returned in time, I don't know how many people will die of hunger and cold!"
It said, with a firm and holy light in its eyes: "Even if he has never met the benefactor, after the young monk takes off his tiger skin and goes down the mountain to return the property to the benefactor, he will go to Huaide County to collect the property from the Demon Commander. die!"
"The benefactor ventured into the mountains to hunt, and his wealth was certainly not abundant. He could have chosen a few from the remaining ownerless property, and the many twists and turns he had gone through would not have been in vain."
Hearing this, Qi Jingzhi suddenly laughed, but secretly thought in his heart: "This guy is very sincere when he deceives people. If I believe him, wouldn't he become the second Chen Er?"
Immediately, the smile on the young man's face flashed away, and he took a step forward and asked sternly: "Since he has been controlled by animal nature and lost his mind, when eating people, he must swallow them whole. How can he be so precise and picky?" What kind of words, what kind of bile do you dislike?”
Qi Jingzhi's sudden attack was obviously beyond the monster's expectation.
Its expression suddenly changed, and a ferocious look appeared on its handsome face: "The donor is so aggressive, does he really want to fight to the death with the young monk? To be honest with the donor, the young monk has been practicing martial arts since he was a child. Even without the power of a tiger brought by this tiger skin, Not everyone can figure it out!”
As he spoke, the tiger skin on his body had almost faded to his belly button, revealing several sharp-edged abdominal muscles.
Qi Jingzhi sneered when he heard this: "Whether you are a tiger that wants to turn into a human, or a human that wants to shed its tiger skin, since you have a demonic heart and have eaten so many innocent people, you deserve to die!"
Before he finished speaking, the young man had already raised his knife and charged forward.
In just the blink of an eye, he took seven or eight steps in a row and rushed directly in front of the monster. He lunged with his left hand to steady his lower body, and stabbed the opponent's throat with the knife in his right hand!
