Outside Chaoyang City, Huyue Mountain is more than 20 miles away.
This Crouching Tiger Mountain is only a few dozen miles long and wide, so it is not a large mountain range.
But there are also legends about Crouching Tiger Mountain.
It is said that a long time ago, Crouching Tiger Mountain was originally a plain. One day there was lightning and thunder, and the sky was filled with dark clouds. Heavenly soldiers and generals chased a demon tiger here. After a few days of fighting, the demon tiger was defeated and killed by the heavenly soldiers and generals. The tiger's head was separated from its body.
The demon tiger was dissatisfied and filled with resentment. Its body turned into a mountain range and lay on the plain. Its body was in a jumping shape, and its chopped off tiger head looked up to the sky and roared.
After the death of the demon tiger, the resentment spread for hundreds of miles, causing various disasters and making people's lives difficult.
Later, the people who could not bear it prayed to heaven for help.
The gods couldn't bear it, so they told him a way.
That is to build a Crouching Tiger Temple at the foot of the mountain of the demon tiger¡¯s head, cover the demon tiger¡¯s head with a red cloth, and worship day and night, so that the violent demon tiger¡¯s remnant spirit will be suppressed and will no longer harm people.
Sure enough, after the Crouching Tiger Temple was built, the resentment of the demon tiger disappeared and people lived a happy life again.
After leaving Chaoyang City Middle School, Bai Xiaolong did not go back to the Zhao family, but came to Crouching Tiger Mountain.
Although the school teacher said that Zhao Shuze was worthless and full of evil.
"But Bai Xiaolong felt that Zhao Shuze's current situation was a bit strange. It seemed that Zhao Shuze had changed too much, and he felt like he was starting a new life.
Based on what the school knew, Bai Xiaolong didn¡¯t think Zhao Shuze could reach enlightenment within two years of suffering. When you talk to him, you always feel like you are being guided by his thinking.
This feeling made Bai Xiaolong feel that something was wrong with Zhao Shuze. Something was very wrong. He had to understand clearly how he was retaliated by the tree demon, how deeply it was affected now, and whether his current behavior was a pretense or a real change.
This does not mean that if you understand Bai Xiaolong, you will save Zhao Shuze. But he understood clearly that if Zhao Shuze really had a problem, he would take action to solve Zhao Shuze, otherwise he, who is half human and half demon, has terrifying abilities and would hurt more people.
Reaching the foot of the mountain, Bai Xiaolong turned over his hands. A slightly withered leaf appeared in the hand.
Bai Xiaolong took this leaf away quietly when he was observing Zhao Shuze. It smells like a dryad.
Looking at Xiao Jia, Bai Xiaolong said: "Xiao Jia, smell this breath and take me there."
Xiao Jia quickly put her nose to the leaves and smelled them, and then her eyes lit up. The figure quickly got into the forest.
Bai Xiaolong followed him and quickly went deep.
Before a person and a demon could reach him, they arrived in front of a dilapidated and abandoned temple.
There are four large characters written on the temple that have been worn out.
Crouching Tiger Temple.
Bai Xiaolong and Xiao Jia looked at each other. How come the tree demon aura on the fallen leaves from Zhao Shuze originated from the temple?
Immediately, Bai Xiaolong looked at the temple and was surprised.
Xiao Jia also squeaked, his eyes serious.
Bai Xiaolong looked at Xiao Jia and said: "You also feel it, there is evil spirit here!"
Xiao Jia nodded.
Bai Xiaolong chuckled: "It's getting more and more interesting."
With that said, Bai Xiaolong walked into the temple.
The temple has been abandoned for a long time and is riddled with holes. It was covered with cobwebs, and it looked like it had not been inhabited for at least decades.
Entering the main hall of the temple, what is enshrined above is indeed a tiger's head. The tiger's head is covered with a piece of color that has lost its color and is rotten, leaving only strands of rags.
Entering here, the demonic aura that Bai Xiaolong felt became even stronger. It seemed that the source of the demonic aura came from the enshrinedtiger head!
Looking at the tiger head attentively, Bai Xiaolong observed curiously.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Xiao Jia suddenly screamed. Then it kicked off its strong hind legs and rushed towards the tiger's head like lightning.
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
At this moment, the tiger head, which had been covered with a thick layer of gray, suddenly emitted two red lights from its eyes.
Xiao Jia nimbly dodged and the two red lights hit the pillars of the main hall.
Snapped!
The pillars broke, and the entire dilapidated temple suddenly began to collapse and dust began to fly.
"No, Xiao Jia, get out of the way." Bai Xiaolong exclaimed. Then he took out a small knife from the yellow cloth bag that he carried with him. When the magic power was used, the small knife turned into a big knife.
Without hesitation, Bai Xiaolong¡¯s figure flew up. The knife struck the enshrined tiger's head.
Whoops!
A sharp sword energy fell?The tiger-headed statue was directly split into two halves. Suddenly, a group of red figures suddenly erupted and turned into a red light, crashing into the temple.
This time the temple could no longer bear it and collapsed suddenly.
Bai Xiaolong was calm in the face of danger. He shook the big knife in his hand and slashed like a cloak above him. The sword was full of force and smashed all the ruins that were thrown at him.
But at this moment, Hong Guang took the opportunity to escape and got into the back of the temple.
Xiao Jia squeaked and chased after him.
"Xiao Jia, don't act recklessly." Bai Xiaolong looked anxious and hurriedly followed.
Breaking through the ruins of the temple, there was actually a tree-lined path behind it. Bai Xiaolong took a closer look and saw Xiao Jia getting into a cave.
Bai Xiaolong quickly went up to take a look, and his face suddenly turned dark. The cave was only the size of a washbasin. Xiao Jia could get in, but he couldn't.
Even if he gets in, such a small hole is simply not big enough for him to perform, and going in would be like seeking death.
Anxious in his heart, Bai Xiaolong gathered his spiritual consciousness and went deep into the cave to sense.
His spiritual consciousness can only sense more than 20 meters.
But the cave is unfathomable and turns around and around.
The innermost part that can be sensed is facing north.
Bai Xiaolong immediately jumped up and flew towards the north.
In an instant, Bai Xiaolong stopped and looked at the canyon in front of him in shock.
This canyon is only about a hundred feet wide, but there is a thick layer of fog covering the middle, and there is a vague evil spirit coming from it.
Looking around, Bai Xiaolong found himself standing on Hutou Mountain, opposite the rolling Crouching Tiger Mountain.
So, this canyon is the gap where the corpse of the demon tiger is separated in the legend of the demon tiger in Crouching Tiger Mountain?
But how could there be evil spirit in this gap? During the induction, I felt a tingling sensation on my scalp, as if there was something terrifying in it.
Bai Xiaolong was uncertain about how to prepare, but at this moment, a squeaking sound came, and then a small figure climbed up from the canyon hillside.
Bai Xiaolong was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to hold Xiao Jia in his arms and yelled nervously: "You scared me to death, do you know it's very dangerous here?"
"Xiaojia was moved in his heart, but he patted his chest with his paws, as if in the mountains, there was no place that I, Master A, couldn't go to.
Bai Xiaolong snorted: "Don't be so arrogant, there must be something wrong in this canyon. We can't be careless, otherwise we won't even know how we died."
Xiao Jia looked at the canyon and his eyes became solemn.
It just sensed something scary in the canyon, so it didn¡¯t dare to continue tracking and climbed up from the cliff.
