Baihu'ao is a large pot-bottom-shaped depression in the northeast of Hunter King Mountain. It is lush with vegetation, but it is completely silent. There is not even the slightest sound of insect activity. If you stand on the edge, you can feel the coming of it. A chilling atmosphere.
Liang Xingyang landed on Baihu Ridge and looked down.
The mountain god Shi Xiao became excited and pointed with his hand: "That's the tiger demon's cave!" He flew down first.
Liang Xingyang followed closely and came to a huge cave on the hillside.
The cave is covered with thick bones, which have aged over time. When stepped on, the sound of cracking and breaking can be heard endlessly. Most of them are human bones, but there are also birds and beasts. Some of the bones look very large. They don't look like ordinary animals. They should also be monsters.
At the end of the cave, there lay a tiger, at least three to four feet long from head to tail, with its thick tail swinging diagonally on the stone wall.
Shi Yao jumped on the tiger, and then turned into a dark wind and flew up the wide tiger skin, revealing the thick frame underneath.
This tiger has been dead for many years. All other organs in its body have rotted away, leaving only a tiger skin and a skeleton!
Liang Xingyang breathed a sigh of relief and searched carefully inside and outside the cave.
In the mountains of Nuoda, there are only skeletons everywhere. Apart from that, there are no living creatures, not even a ghost. The tiger is originally a tiger, and the evil spirit of the tiger demon is very strong. Even though it has been dead for many years, no spiritual thing dares to come near this place.
It's better to die, so you don't have to do it yourself!
Liang Xingyang returned to the cave, and Shi Yao was still wrapped in a tiger skin and floating in the air, looking very lonely.
"Do you like this tiger skin?"
Shi Yan sighed: "This tiger has fought with me no less than a hundred times, not only in a battle of skills, but also in a battle of wits and courage. On the way here, I also guessed how far he has practiced now, and whether he can be killed by a real-life fairy sword. , I didn’t expect that only bones and skin were left!”
The tiger demon has been dead for many years, but only its bones and skin remain intact. The fur is thick and heavy, and feels great when rubbed with hands. It cannot be damaged by ordinary water or fire.
"Just take this tiger skin and make it a cloak to wear in the future. Well, you might as well make a tiger skin skirt." Liang Xingyang found a big rock, flattened it with his flying sword and jumped on it, "You'd better answer your question Go to the temple, I will practice here for three days."
There wasn't even a mouse or ant here, it was dead quiet, extremely quiet, just perfect for meditation.
Shi Xiao wrapped himself in a tiger skin and flew around the cave for a few times, then came back and knelt down on the ground: "There is no one left in Hunter King Mountain. The incense and wish power in my body has been exhausted. I was hit by the real man's sword before, and then he was hit again." I have lost so many ways and become a lonely ghost. If I go back and endure the hardships for a long time, I will be blown away by the strong wind and melt into the evil spirits if I don't survive the reincarnation. I am bound by the iron book of the mountain god's underworld talisman and am detained in the Hunter King In the mountain world, you are not allowed to run, you can only wait for death. I am willing to be the protector in front of the real person, and usually serve the real person with food and housing. If someone intrudes me, even though I am shallow, I can deal with evil spirits and monsters as much as I can. I sincerely ask you, Master, to accept me, and it will definitely be a lot more convenient for me to travel around the world in the future!"
Liang Xingyang knew that he was attracted by the millions of wishes in the lotus lantern and wanted to stay by his side.
Taoism has a method of conferring gods and raising ghosts. Raise a ghost, cultivate it carefully, and then confer it as a god general in the future. Not only will it bring many conveniences in daily life, but it will also help you fight with others. If you can train a ghost to become a yellow scarf warrior, you can even Move mountains and fill seas.
For someone like Shi Yao who once served as a mountain god, if he gets the power of a million wishes from the lamp, he can immediately become a god-level general!
"Since you are willing, then protect the Dharma by my side. If I achieve success in the future, it will naturally benefit you."
The orthodox religion's protection of Dharma gods is different from the magic way. The magic way requires the other party to swear allegiance, uses spells to restrain the other party's spirit, and forces them to serve, which is more like a slave.
The guardian gods of serious Taoism all follow voluntarily. The relationship between the two parties is more like that of a teacher and a student. There is no mandatory binding force. Once the guardian gods feel that the practitioner's virtues are continuous, the Taoism is lacking, or he regrets it, he can leave at any time.
Liang Xingyang knew that what the other party valued more was the wish power in the lamp. If they got along for a while and both felt good about each other, and Shi Yao was willing to stay for a long time, it would not be impossible for him to find a way to grant the wish power in batches.
Shi Xiao fell to the ground and bowed again. Liang Xingyang looked at the tiger skin wrapped around him: "Bring the tiger skin, I will make you a cloak."
He took the tiger skin, and under the lamp, he first kneaded the tiger hair into thread, then condensed the sword energy into needles, cut the whole tiger skin, and embroidered some talismans on it. This tiger skin is the fur of a tiger demon. After many years, only it and the tiger bones are left unrotted. A large amount of demon energy is condensed in it. Liang Xingyang mobilized it with his own essence to form a formation, and then gathered the collar and edges to make it. A large cloak.
Shi Yao can become extremely large, stepping on the bones on the ground with his feet, holding his head against the stone roof above, with a white tiger skin cloak hanging behind him. He is really not far from the legendary god. He is very happy, carrying the cloak on his back. Throw it out for a few turns, come back and say thank you again.
He got the cloak and felt that his hands were empty, so he ran to the tiger bones again to take off the tiger teeth and use them as weapons.
The tiger bones are very hard and the tiger teeth are even harder to remove. He broke and bit them again, making the cave full of wind and the tiger teeth could not move at all.
Liang Xingyang asked him to get out of the way, then released his flying sword and struck it on the root of his teeth. There was a clanking sound, and he struck him with seven or eight swords before he landed.
The two tiger teeth were over a foot long and extremely hard. Liang Xingyang took them and poked the stone wall next to him. They were sharper than an iron chisel and chipped away a lot of gravel in three or five strokes.
Shi Yao got the tiger skin cloak and the pair of tiger teeth. Finally satisfied, he went outside to collect the lunar essence for sacrifice.
Liang Xingyang practiced in the cave for three days and came out of the cave: "I want to go to Quyang and then back to Liangzhou. Do you want to come with me?"
Shi Yan put away his two tiger fangs: "Since we have agreed to protect the Dharma in front of Master, I will naturally go wherever Master goes. However, the sunlight during the day is harmful to me, and I cannot withstand Master's Pure Yang Sword Qi. No. If Master takes me into that lotus lamp, I can practice in the lamp."
Liang Xingyang laughed: "In the Golden Lantern Sect, there are hundreds of masters who teach the Dharma. Each one has a lamp in his hand, and each lamp is condensed with the will of the believers. Do you think that just any lone ghost can pounce on it?" Absorb the power of the wish and become a god? In that case, wouldn’t the Golden Lantern Sect become the biggest enemy of the Great Xia Dynasty? I can send you in, but can you endure the pain of soul refining with real fire? "
Shi Yao smiled sarcastically: "Then...master tells me where to go, and I will rush there in the evening."
"That's fine." Liang Xingyang doesn't particularly need a protector. What he wants is that if the other party is willing to follow him, he will treat him sincerely and well. If the other party is not willing to follow him, there is no need to force him.
After telling Shi Yao where he was going, Liang Xingyang summoned the fairy sword, turned into white light and enveloped himself. With a "whoosh", he lifted off the ground and flew straight to Quyang City!
