Master of the rivers and lakes

Chapter 398 Yuxiao Mountain

The steep peaks of the Xueling Mountains, especially the canyon at the source of the Jinhe River are unique and unforgettable.

Behind the valley is a strange peak in the Xueling Mountains, called Yuxiao Mountain.

The scenery of Yuxiao Mountain is beautiful, with strange peaks rising one after another. On the way up to Yuxiao Mountain, there is a place called Ruyunmen.

There is a Fuhu Temple there, and a Taoist figure with a purple beard is carved on the main hall, which is quite different from any other Taoist temples.

I saw the statue of this Taoist man holding a dust whisk in his right hand and strangling a tiger's neck with his left hand. He was majestic and lifelike.

It is said that there used to be two black tigers on Yuxiao Mountain, they were very ferocious, and the tigers often devoured passers-by, so that no one dared to go up the mountain.

Later, a Zixu Taoist heard about this, so he went up the mountain alone, lived on the mountain for a few days, and then went down to let someone build the Fuhu Temple on the mountain.

Since then, the two black tigers have disappeared.

The people at the foot of the mountain all thought that it was the purple-bearded Taoist priest who killed the tiger.

The snow forest mountains are vast and boundless, and the tigers are indispensable in the deep mountains and old forests.

Therefore, anyone who wants to go to the Xuelin Mountains, as long as they are close to Yuxiao Mountain, in order to avoid tiger disasters, they must first go to the Fuhu Temple in Yuxiao Mountain to pay their respects.

After donating, pray under the statue of the Fuhu Taoist, so that the journey will be safe.

Of course, although this is an ancient legend, after hundreds of years, people who go up the mountain still go to Fuhu Temple first to seek safety, and Fuhu Temple has always been very popular.

But in the past two weeks, people who went to Yuxiao Mountain to "pilgrimage to the mountain" suddenly stopped moving forward.

Even those who came from afar, also accepted the advice of others at the foot of the mountain, and turned back one after another. No one dared to go up the mountain again.

Because in the past half a month, whenever it got dark, tigers would often be heard in the area around the Cloud Gate.

When the tiger howls, the mountains respond, and when the strong wind blows, all animals are frightened.

With this level of power, anyone who doesn't want to die in the jaws of a tiger, who would dare to put himself in danger?
The current head teacher of Fuhuguan is Daoist Xuancheng.

Daoist Xuancheng was born in a Taoist sacred place in Daqi, and he is also the Taiqing Temple of a martial arts force.

The Taoist priest is now in his 60s and is a well-known Taoist priest.

And there are 34 Taoist priests in Fuhu Temple, all of whom are his disciples and grandchildren, and all of them are proficient in boxing and cudgels.

Since nightfall in the area of ​​Ruyunmen, you can often hear tigers roaring and pilgrims binding their feet.

Faced with such a thing, as the head teacher of Fuhuguan, Taoist Xuancheng naturally has the responsibility to protect the environment and the people, and eliminate harm for the people.

Otherwise, why bother to build this Fuhu Temple, and why let laymen from all walks of life come to the temple to burn incense and pray and make donations throughout the year?

Therefore, after the incident, Daoist Xuancheng sent three groups of people to various places in Yuxiao Mountain.

Each route is led by three disciples with high martial arts skills. Each route has ten people, each carrying swords, iron rods, bows and arrows, and they search separately.

Daoist Xuancheng is bound to eradicate the tiger problem this time. After all, tigers are just beasts, so how powerful can they be.

For several days in a row, the people sent out came back one after another, and none of them came back empty-handed.

But the result was completely different from what Taoist Xuancheng expected.

Because at least one-third of the ten people on each route were carried back.

These people were only scratched by the tiger's claws, which was not too serious.

But the strange thing is that the leaders of each group had their chests torn apart by the tiger's claws, and their deaths were quite tragic.

Of course, there is also the strangest thing, that is, everyone who survives from the tiger's mouth says something different and sees something different.

Not one person at all said the same.

Some said: What they met was a white-fronted tiger bigger than a bison.

Some said: What they encountered was a ferocious black tiger.

Some said: What they met was a big yellow tiger with rot all over its body.

The three groups of Taoist priests were still arguing endlessly in front of Taoist Xuancheng, and they said that the tiger they met was invulnerable to swords and arrows, and had great magical powers.

This caused Daoist Xuancheng a headache.

Taoist Priest Xuancheng frowned and thought twice as he saw three disciples with higher martial arts skills died tragically under the tiger's claws.

He felt that although the Taoist priests in Guanzhong knew some fists and kicks, their martial arts were weak and they didn't have the ability to subdue dragons and subdue tigers.

The only way to do it now is to edit the book in person and ask for help from the Taiqing Palace.

However, who would have expected that the disciple he sent to ask for help was torn apart by a tiger while walking halfway, and his body was abandoned halfway up the mountain.

As a result, the entire area around Yuxiao Mountain became even more turbulent, and pedestrians disappeared.

After all, no one's life is picked up.

-

This is the morning when the sun is rising and the Cebu has not disappeared. In the mountains and forests in late autumn, the cold air leaks everywhere.

By the side of the bluestone bridge, a young man in green clothes came calmly.

I saw that he was only around twenty years old, with a jade face and vermilion lips, sculpted eyebrows and bright eyes, and a heroic spirit in his gentle demeanor, he was really handsome and unrestrained like a jade tree.

Judging from his appearance, he should have come here for the mountain excursion. He seemed calm and unhurried, and every scenery along the way could make him stay for a while.

They are not in such a hurry as those who rush to do things.

Ever since the fierce tiger emerged near the Cloud Gate, pedestrians have long since disappeared. Along this mountain road, he was the only one walking alone.

Although the scenery of Yuxiao Mountain is beautiful, what kind of scenery can you enjoy in this late autumn season when the light fog is all over the mountain?
Just when the young man in green was intoxicated by the beauty of Yuxiao Mountain and walked slowly.

In the light mist deep in the dense forest, suddenly a man in white came floating towards him.

The two came and went, walking the same path.

After all, Yuxiao Mountain is so dangerous that there is no way to go.

Even if they both walk very slowly, they will eventually meet each other head on.

Just when the two hadn't met, a gust of pheasant scent had already blown towards the face of the young man in green.

The young man in green hadn't noticed the man in white before, but when he smelled the fragrance, he raised his eyes and couldn't help being stunned.

Because at this time, the man in white had already walked in front of him.

It was a beautiful and elegant woman in white, with a pair of big black and white eyes full of autumn water, staring at him.

She must be curious as to why anyone would go up the mountain at this time.

It's not that the young man in green shirt has never seen a woman before, but such a woman made him feel a little different at the first moment.

Maybe it was the woman's delicate skin, and the way the morning mist made him feel.

Maybe it was the woman's faint and somewhat cold smile that gave him the feeling.

Maybe it was the woman's unsullied and elegant appearance that gave him the feeling.

In short, this feeling is very strong.

The two of them looked at each other, and the young man in green shirt immediately avoided the woman's gaze and turned sideways.

For him, this is the politeness he has learned since he was a child, and he should let the girl go first.

However, just after the green-clothed boy stopped, the white-clothed woman also stopped.

He felt a little strange about the actions of the woman in white. He let her go, but she didn't move.

The woman in white just stared at him, then parted her cherry lips and said, "Are you from the mountains?"
