Chapter 342: The Legend of the Tiger Demon

"Boom ......" "Roar ......"

The roar of the tiger was mixed with the sound of thunder, which came out from the depths of Niukui Mountain, and when it reached the periphery, the sound was already much weaker, so it was again overshadowed by a new round of thunder.

The group of hunters carrying prey and mountain goods hurried to the road, and if it rained heavily, the mountains would be wet, slippery and cold, and the road would be very difficult to walk, and they would have to spend the night in the mountains.

"Rumble ......"

A special reverberation came, the leading man stopped and looked back at the depths of Niukui Mountain, looking far away, on the farthest mountain peak, many trees and bamboos were shaking, as if a gust of black wind swept out of the deep mountain.

"Roar......

Another voice faintly came, causing the leading Orion to have a strange hallucination in a trance, and in his eyes, as if he saw a gray and black mist rising to the sky in the distance on the other side of the mountain, forming a huge beast head under the dark clouds in the sky, roaring at the thunderclouds in the sky.

"Shh.......h

This scene made the man subconsciously gasp, and his legs were as difficult to move as if they had been injected with lead.

Some hunters suddenly found that the leader did not follow, turned their heads and found that the other party stopped over there and looked at the deep mountains, and hurriedly asked.

"What do you look at, head, and there's prey?"

These words frightened the man coldly, and then looked at the sky in the distance There was no longer any scene, it just seemed to be a complete illusion, and he turned his senses and looked at the hunter on the side.

"It's nothing, it's nothing, hurry up, you can't stop if you have prey, you can't spend the night in the mountains!"

The leading man urged as he hurriedly ran again.

"Who wants to spend the night here in such a cold. ”

"But this time it's a lot of hunting, and it's heavy!" ”

A group of men carried their prey and kept shuttling in the mountains, but fortunately, although the dark clouds were getting bigger and bigger, and the thunder was very frequent and scary, it did not rain immediately after all, so that the hunters successfully reached the bottom of the mountain.

There were already a group of villagers waiting there at the entrance of the village, and they shouted happily when they saw the hunters returning.

"Look! I'm back, so much big stuff!" "Go and help." ”

"Look, there's a big worm in front of you!"

"Mother, big worm?" "No, no, don't talk nonsense, it's a big leopard!"

"Jackals, tigers, leopards, leopards and insects are not much different. ”

"Yes, yes, yes, they are all top good skins!"

The families of the hunters and the people of the village all flocked out to help the hunters carry their prey, the heavy boars, the brightly colored beasts, and the fat meat and the furs that could be exchanged for silver in the eyes of those who knew the goods.

"Boom ......"

The thunder exploded again, ......and then the pouring rain finally fell, and the hunters and their families and villagers hurriedly fled home.

The size of the mountain village itself is not very large, and two wild boars were cooked that night, and it was planned that every household in the village would receive wild boar, so that they could enjoy a fresh game meal at the beginning of spring when they returned home.

However, the leading Orion man has been a little uneasy since he returned, so he decided to take his things and go to her mother's house with his daughter-in-law.

Carrying a pork chop and a wild boar front leg, with his daughter-in-law and children, the Orion man came to the house of the old village chief, who was his father-in-law.

The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law came up with steaming wild boar pork chops and wild boar meat, and wiped the spicy wild ginger and wild pepper from the mountains before cooking, which largely removed the smell, but a section of the front hoof was left alone and put in a large flower bowl.

"Come, Daddy, eat it while it's hot, your old favorite front hoof meat!" "Yes, Daddy, we deliberately intercepted it, and it was rotten." ”

The daughter and son-in-law laughed and urged together.

"Hey, hey, hey, count you as filial!"

The old village chief said happily, picked up a section of hoof skin with chopsticks, and handed it to the little grandson.

"Ah~"

The latter opened his mouth wide and took the pigskin in one mouthful, puffing out his cheeks and chewing vigorously.

"Sit and eat!"

The family sat around and moved chopsticks, except for a pot of radish stew, mainly two pots of pork, plus a pot of rice wine, this food is the greed of everyone in Ning'an County.

"Boom ......"

The thunder sounded again, but the people in the room were used to it, and they all ate the meat and vegetables on the table by an oil lamp.

After eating for a while, the man asked the old man in a low voice by pouring wine for his father-in-law.

"Dad, let me ask you something, I remember when I was a child, Niu Kuishan seemed to have a monster for a while?"

"Oh, what are you talking about!"

The mother-in-law on the side glared at her son-in-law, but the child became excited.

"Youkai, do we have youkai here, what about gods and immortals?"

"Aren't the gods all in the temple! ”

The child's mother replied with a smile, and picked up a piece of radish and stuffed it in the child's mouth, otherwise the little guy would eat all the meat.

"Dad, I vaguely remember that this happened when I was a child, and the government seemed to be ...... back then."

"Yes! Something like that happened back then. ”

The old village chief has been the village chief in this mountain village for nearly 40 years, and every term in charge of the two surrounding villages has a good relationship with him, and he also remembers some important things in the past.

"Counting the years, it's almost twenty years!"

After saying this with emotion, the old village chief drank the rice wine in the small cup.

"Grandpa, grandpa, tell me about it!"

The little grandson swallowed the radish and meat in his mouth, pushed away his mother's chopsticks and begged, and the Orion man also hurriedly and diligently refilled the wine for him, and sandwiched a piece of elbow with belt meat.

"Okay, I'll tell you about it!"

The old village chief took a sip of rice wine, put his elbow in his mouth and chewed and squinted his eyes, as if returning to that period of panic.

"I can't remember how many years it has been, but it's estimated that it's been almost twenty years, and your father was not much older than you at the beginning. ”

The old village chief pointed to his little grandson and smiled.

"I remember that in those years, there was a tiger disaster in Niukui Mountain, and for a period of time, the government recruited and organized us to wait for hunters on the mountainside to go into the mountains to eliminate tigers......"

Eighteen years ago, in fact, not only the Ning'an County of Niukui Mountain on the edge of Desheng Mansion, but also the other two prefectures next to Niukui Mountain, there was a similar situation, but Ning'an County was more serious, and the old village chief could not get in touch with the news from Waifu so far.

"At that time, I was quite strong, and we went into the mountain twice, and we also found the nest of a large worm, and killed a large worm with our own hands, but I didn't find any bones around there, but then I ......."

The old village chief showed a look of fear.

"As the old saying goes, the wind goes from the tiger to the dragon, everyone has heard it, but no one has ever seen it, but we saw it that time!"

"That night, we stayed with more than 30 experienced hunters from the neighboring village in a deep hill that we believed to be infested with tigers...... Originally, the wind was clear and the moon was clear, but suddenly the wind was fierce, the mountains and rocks and the sand were charming, and the roar of the tiger came together, and the whistling sound made people tremble when they heard it, and even the bravest hunters should be terrified!"

The little grandson has subconsciously approached his mother, and he doesn't even chew the meat in his mouth.

"But we are all hunters, no matter how calm we are, so no one squeaks, but the big worm seems to know where we are, and it takes a hunter from a neighboring village with a casual pounce, and the screams sound all the way, and we chase it out together, and we can't see the shadow, and what's even weirder is ......"

The old village chief deliberately approached his little grandson.

"The wind has stopped!"

"Oh, old man, why are you scaring children, you are not serious!"

"Hehehe...... Kid doesn't like to hear that!"

"The little face is scared white!"

The Orion man hurriedly filled his father-in-law with wine.

"Daddy, you go on. ”

"Well, after we came back, we were a little depressed, and we were scared enough, but no one can feel at ease if we don't get rid of the man-eating tiger, and the official reward is also great, and the officials who know martial arts are sent to prepare to act together, and some of our hunters are also unwilling, so we went again. ”

Speaking of this, the old village chief sighed.

"Hey...... My brother also didn't have that time, the tiger is really weird, frolicking like taking two people, and even killed seven mountain hounds, coming and going with the mountain wind, the roar makes the listener's legs weak, after that time, I and some old hunters are clear, we hunters are no opponents, since then, no matter how much the government lobbies, we can't go into the mountains......"

The old village chief took a sip of wine and suppressed the shock.

"The story of the tiger in the mountains becoming a spirit also began to spread after that time, but several villages on our side kept it secret, and no one talked nonsense, for fear of attracting it. ”

"Later, I heard that the government posted the list, and also went to Desheng Mansion to ask for help and posted the list, and then came some powerful heroes of the rivers and lakes, in the end, the Jianghu people have high martial arts, and they really killed the tiger, or the big white tiger that has always been rare, the skin has been displayed at the gate of the county government for many days, and many people in our village have seen it!"

The Orion man grabbed the chopsticks and frowned, drank the rice wine in his cup in one gulp, and asked.

"Dad, are you sure the tiger is really dead?"

"Then there is still a fake? The big white tiger, the ordinary big insect can't stand up, it's an absolute ferocious thing, and after that, Niu Kuishan will be too peaceful, not to mention the man-eating tiger, even the ordinary big insect is almost gone!"

The Orion man hesitated, lowered his body, and asked again.

"Dad, is it possible, that tiger spirit is not dead yet?"

The old village chief's scalp was numb reflexively, and he turned his head to look at his son-in-law fixedly.

"What are you talking nonsense, do you see it?"

"No, no, but this time I went down the mountain, and the thunder was like a beast roaring, and the black clouds in the sky were also descending, and the beasts were running out of the mountains, and I was so ......panicked in my heart."

The old village chief and the man both looked out through the window, and the deep mountains were blocked and they couldn't see too far, so they could only look at the sky.

This moment.

"Click...... Boom ......"

The thunder was deafening, and a thick bolt of lightning seemed to carry three forks with chat, and fell straight into the mountain.

Everyone in the entire mountain village trembled at the same moment.
