There was a howling wind and snow in the forest, but the sky above was dim. Although the old man Li Ding had set up an array before to make the clouds disperse, he had not been able to make the sky clear.
Now that the tiger is out of trouble, the wind in the forest is even louder. The clouds on Wujing's mountaintop gathered again, as if they were about to press down on the mountains. As a result, the mountain forest became darker and darker, like night, and even the surrounding scenery became hazy.
Li Ding and the girl Li Qiuhu stopped. The old man turned around and stopped in front of the girl, and said in a deep voice: "Tiger, I only come here for the treasure and don't want to kill you. Now that the tiger is out of trouble, I don't want to be your enemy. I have offended you a lot, so come here Three animals will be sacrificed on the day.”
The tiger walked five or six steps away from Li Bochen and stopped, laughing strangely: "I am the spiritual god of the land canonized by Netherworld. You have the audacity to harm me, and now you want to leave? Do you think I can't keep you?"
Then he turned to look at Li Boxen: "Fellow Taoist, these two people are really trying to sow discord by saying that I want to harm you. Friend Taoist, please try again and see if you can let go of the knife in your hand?"
Li Bochen was stunned for a moment, then tried to loosen his grip again. As a result, his fingers opened easily this time, and the sword in his hand was stuck straight on the ground, like an ordinary sword.
The tiger laughed and said, "Fellow Taoist, please take another five or six steps and see if there are any abnormalities on your body. Then you will know whether things are as they said."
Its smile was actually the smile of the possessed man in black. The man in black didn't look ugly, but he was bleeding from all his orifices and his eyes were moving strangely, which made his smile look scary.
When he saw his smile, Li Bochen felt a slight numbness in his body and turned away from him.
He was about to follow the tiger's instructions and take five or six steps to see if there was anything abnormal about him, but he suddenly froze. An idea seemed to come out of my head, but something stopped it.
But the tiger didn't wait for him to take action, and said to Li Ding and Li Qiuhu: "You want to leave? You can try it - old man, you walk six steps to the north, little kid, you walk six steps to the west. If you can walk out, I will let you go."
What it said seemed to be a form of humiliation and amusement. But Li Ding actually smiled coldly and said in a deep voice: "Okay, it's a deal!"
Then he really took a step forward slowly and started walking towards the north. Li Qiuhu did not express any objection, turned around and started walking west.
Do these two people really think that this tiger will let them go after doing this? Li Bochen was confused and glanced at the tiger. But he found that he had taken steps without knowing when. He was startled, and then felt numb again, as if--
Just like a few nights ago, Bai Ying was trying to kill him in the air!
His heart skipped a beat, his head buzzed, and his vision suddenly became clearer. Originally, he felt that the light in the forest was dim, and except for Tiger Tiger, Li Ding, and Li Qiuhu, he could not see the rest of the scenery very clearly. At this moment, I suddenly realized that this was exactly what I felt in the dream! ?
When I managed to wake up from a drunken dream, the places and people I wanted to see were clear, and the things I didn't want to see were blurry - I was in a dream now! ?
Once this thought came to mind, his eyes suddenly brightened up, and the blurred scenery instantly became clear - but he saw a sharp branch standing in front of him!
He took a breath of cold air and hurriedly stopped, realizing that he had walked three or four steps away without knowing it. When he was fighting with the Hunjia Beast, the beast broke many trees, and the sharp branches in front of him were broken by it. It was about the thickness of a thumb and a foot long. It grew on the tree trunk and faced my eye. If I had taken two steps forward, it would have penetrated my left eye and pierced my head.
He knew that the numbness he felt before was the premonition of fatal danger coming back. He immediately turned to look at the tiger and found that the man in black robe was indeed standing where he had seen him in his dream. But it's not the kind of bleeding from the orifices and crooked eyes and mouth. Instead, he closed his eyes, held a stone in his hand, and hit himself on the head with a calm expression.
This man in black robe should be in the dragon and tiger realm, and his physique is far better than ordinary people. But even so, his head was bruised and blood flowed all over his face.
Looking over to Li Ding and Li Qiuhu, I found that the two people were walking away with their eyes slightly narrowed. In front of Li Ding was a branch stubble like the one in front of him, while in front of Li Qiuhu three or four steps away was a tree branch. It is a sharp stone protruding from the ground.
What Li Ding said turned out to be true... The tiger really had bad intentions. Li Bochen let go of the knife in his dream, but now he woke up and found that the knife was still in his hand. He immediately leaned over and grabbed a few rocks from the ground, shot them at the three people respectively, and shouted at the same time: "Wake up!"
Although he was not very proficient in archery when he was in the army, he was not bad at flying rocks either. Three stones hit the three of them on the head. He was so far away that they heard three "dong dong dong" sounds. But the three people didn't wake up and were still doing their own things.
Seeing that Li Ding and Li Qiuhu were about to hit tree branches and sharp rocks respectively, Li Bochen had no choice but to drag his knife and run towards the girl. But there was still a dozen steps between them. When he ran to the girl's side, Li Qiuhu had already tripped over the tree trunk under his feet, and his head hit the sharp stone.
Li Boxen hurriedly swung the knife and blocked it on the stone. The girl hit his blade with a bang, her eyes opened, and she woke up. There was still a look of confusion on her face for a moment, and Li Bochen shouted hurriedly: "Save your grandpa!"
When he fought Li Qiuhu before, the tiger provided the vitality of Wujing Mountain, so he did not feel tired or afraid of pain. But after waking up, I found that the vitality no longer poured into my body. At this time, I felt pain everywhere in my body, and my bones felt like they were broken. After running for more than ten steps, I was at the end of my strength and could hardly even lift the knife in my hand.
He thought that if the girl attacked him at this moment, she probably wouldn't even have a chance to resist.
Fortunately, after being confused for a moment, Li Qiuhu quickly stood up and looked around. Ying Ying realized what happened in an instant, and immediately jumped in front of Li Ding to hold him, and touched several acupuncture points on his body.
The old man's body trembled slightly and he woke up. His reaction was faster than Li Qiuhu's. As soon as he opened his eyes, he immediately reached out and took out a piece of talisman from his arms and shouted: "Tiger, I only came here for the treasure, and I didn't want to kill myself. Now the treasure is not with me." I have no intention of fighting with you, so why do you insist on losing both sides?"
When he said these words, Li Bochen held a knife and sat down on a broken tree trunk. It wasn't that he wanted to look calm and collected, but he was really in pain and almost couldn't stand still. It's just that although there is no expression on his face, he doesn't know whether to sigh or be angry in his heart.
He didn't leave before because he felt that since he had the tiger's treasure, he should be loyal to him. But he didn't expect that as Li Ding said, this tiger was not a kind person. He escaped from Wuliang City because he got into trouble after rescuing people. The situation now is similar to that then.
When I encounter this kind of thing one after another, I feel like my heart is about to get cold. He also thought that he had fought with Li Ding and Li Qiuhu for a long time, but now he had to save their lives to protect himself, and he felt that the current situation had become a mess. Hearing Li Ding mention the treasure again, the confusion in his heart turned into an unknown fire.
Then he sneered: "The treasure is in my hand. I wanted to return it to you before, but now, unless I die!"
