Chapter 172: It's not the tiger that eats people
The wooden arrow was very crude, probably similar to the wooden arrow that Bao Xian had conjured up just now when she was refining her Qi.
And it soon disappeared from Ji Qingling's hands.
The cultivation level is low and cannot last long.
Now Ji Qingling couldn't bear to kill it.
She grabbed the tiger's claws and exerted force in her hands.
Snap!
She broke the bones in the tiger's paws !
The sound was so loud that any small animals hiding nearby were frightened and jumped out to run for their lives.
A vine shot out from Ji Qingling's palm and automatically wrapped around the tiger's mouth several times, tying it tightly.
She walked over and patted Da Hu's head, "Be quiet, or I'll stew you for tiger meat tonight."
The big tiger seemed to understand and didn't dare to say anything. It allowed Ji Qingling to use a magic to suspend it in the air.
Ji Qingling brought Da Hu back to the Longevity Tree.
"Uncle Master, you're back so soon? You caught another big tiger?"
The uncles are now in conflict with the tiger!
Later, Shen Ru and Ji Zuo received the message and rushed back.
Shen Ru was the first to jump off the flying sword, "Where is the monster?"
“That one.”
"Can you cast spells?"
"Yes, wood spell."
Shen Ru directly dragged the big tiger aside and said, "I'll meet it."
After Shen Ru left, Deng Jiarong was a little curious, "Is Senior Shen's beast taming technique very strong?"
Ji Qingling thought this was a good idea. "Well, Senior Sister is very good at controlling beasts."
Ji Zuo sent a message to her: "Which idiot said that if you are good at controlling beasts, you can understand beast language?"
"Brother Ji Zuo, please stop talking."
Ji Qingling guessed that this was Shen Ru's golden finger, and probably just one of them.
After all, I didn’t see anything special about Senior Sister in taming beasts.
Maybe it's just that it can communicate with animals.
Who doesn't have a few secrets? Soon Shen Ru came back.
The matter is not complicated. The big tiger was born under this tree.
Then the tigress should have died outside. Her brothers starved to death first. When she was the only one left, it was the immortal tree that saved her life.
Feeding the spiritual juice to the tiger, which was still a cub at the time, was enough to keep it alive.
As for how this tree came about, it doesn't know.
Shen Ru guessed that it might have been planted by the Taoist priests of the Sanyuan Taoist Temple at that time, or it might have been planted by traveling monks.
Regardless, this saved its life.
From then on, the tiger lived under the tree and it didn't even remember how many years had passed.
All I know is that in recent years he has become more powerful than before and can even cast wood-based spells.
The spiritual energy of the Longevity Tree is much better than that of other places.
The beasts could instinctively sense the difference here.
More and more beasts began to approach the Tree of Longevity.
Some small animals even began to gnaw on the trunks and branches of the Everlasting Tree.
The pattern of one tree and one tiger was broken, which completely enraged the big tiger.
It began to attack other wild beasts indiscriminately and drove them away.
As for what happened next, they could guess that the beasts that were driven away could only go to the outskirts of Sanyuan Mountain.
Then it started eating people! Ji Qingling saw that near the Longevity Tree, there was indeed a place that looked like a tiger's den.
Living under the tree like this? She walked around it and cleared away the dead grass and leaves with a spell.
When one of the stones at the bottom was removed, a hole large enough for a person to enter was revealed.
Ji Qingling used his spiritual sense to explore and found a pile of complete human skeletons underneath!
"Senior sister, senior brother!"
…
Shen Ru angrily took out his weapon and pressed it against Da Hu's forehead, "If you dare to lie to me again, I'll stew you tonight!"
If Da Hu could speak, he would probably ask you monks if this is the only way to threaten tigers?
The immortal tree next to it suddenly shook violently, and the leaves made a rustling sound.
Ji Qingling shouted to the four guys still standing under the tree, "Scatter!"
Shen Ru and the others also rushed over and protected the younger ones behind them.
Ji Qingling was a little confused, "Senior Sister, can a tree that is hundreds of years old become a spirit?"
"It's unlikely, but if there is any adventure, it's not impossible."
Ji Zuo analyzed: "I think it is just a little spiritual, but no matter how spiritual it is, this tree is not a good tree."
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
That pile of bones didn't look like they were eaten by a tiger. They were so complete that it seemed like they were directly used as nutrients for the immortal tree.
Ji Zuo kicked Da Hu and said, "How dare you lie to my senior sister? Tell the truth now."
The big tiger just roared twice.
The immortal tree became even more excited and kept shaking.
Ji Qingling took a sword and slashed at the tree trunk. White juice immediately flowed out from the cut area.
When the tiger saw the Longevity Tree being chopped down, it roared and tried to run over, but unfortunately its two claws were broken by Ji Qingling.
Shen Ru walked over and said, "If you dare not tell the truth again, we will uproot the tree and use it to roast tiger meat."
"Awoo~Awoo~"
At this moment, the leaves of the Everlasting Tree began to fall, floating down to the ground, and when the last leaf fell from the Everlasting Tree.
They gathered together and lifted the big tiger under the tree.
The white juice flowed to Da Hu's mouth as if finding the way.
Then the three of them changed and returned to the day when the Tree of Immortality was planted.
Shen Ru has a higher level of cultivation and knows more. "Don't worry, this is the memory illusion of the plant spirit. It is easy to break if you want to leave. Don't worry, let's see what it wants to tell us."
At that time, Sanyuan Mountain had no name.
A young man was standing in front of the Everlasting Tree, which was still a seedling at the time.
"Master, I have fulfilled your wish and sent you back. I will return to Zhongzhou to continue my journey to immortality. I will leave this immortal tree to accompany you. I am leaving now!"
As time flies, the immortal tree grows slowly, but the grave next to it is reduced to just an inconspicuous slope.
When the disciple appeared again, he was already an old man with white hair.
This time he was followed by a boy.
"Master, I'm back. I haven't encountered any great opportunities in this life. Now I have not much time left to build my foundation. When I think about it carefully, the only time I can be happiest in this life is when I follow you."
He pointed at the little boy behind him and said, "This is the beggar I met in the market. He has no spiritual roots and cannot practice cultivation, so I brought him to the secular world. From now on, he will follow me and guard the master."
Many years passed in the blink of an eye. The little boy had grown up. He held his adoptive father's ashes and buried them on the other side of the Longevity Tree.
When the Eternal Tree saw him again, he was already dressed as a Taoist priest, and this time he brought with him a corpse.
This time he buried the body and sat under the tree for a long time.
Then, in another turn, the Taoist priest brought another corpse.
Then another one, and then the time intervals between them became longer and longer.
The Taoist priest became more and more skilled in burying corpses.
He himself grew into a middle-aged Taoist priest who would turn around and leave after burying the corpse.
These corpses included men, women, old and young, but without exception they were all dressed in gorgeous clothes.
Then he brought two other young Taoist priests to bury the body.
Those corpses all became nutrients for the Everlasting Tree.
Last night, when I was changing the little one's clothes, I reached out to pull her, and then~ her hand was dislocated! I almost went crazy, it was really just a light pull~~~ It's really a beast that can't be touched! I'm not going to work today, I'm taking care of her at home and typing a few words.
