When the boss becomes an attackable character
Chapter 32 Ritual
"call"
Xu Xiaofei flew a long way before stopping to catch his breath.
It's okay, no one is chasing him, and his own life is still there.
Xu Xiaofei saved his life, and began to regret again.I couldn't get a glimpse of that person's face again... I can only wait for a later opportunity.
The other person who sealed his consciousness was also inexplicably familiar.The man's power is too strong, Xu Xiaofei is actually afraid in his heart, but besides the fear, he also wants to get close to him.And sympathize with him, wanting to share his pain.
Xu Xiaofei didn't know why he had such complicated emotions towards him.
Maybe everything has something to do with my lost memory.
If given the chance, I really hope to make friends with that person!
Of course, Xu Xiaofei didn't forget that these two people are members of the Demon Cult.
The Demon Cult is not full of treacherous and evil people, and these two don't look alike at first glance.But it seems that every time someone from the Devil's Cult shows up, bad things happen immediately.
Could it be that they were responsible for the white tiger attack this time?
Xu Xiaofei thought for a while, then shook his head again.
The legend of the white tiger was passed down many years ago. This time, the people in the village did not notice anything unusual. This matter should have nothing to do with them... I hope so.
If there is a demon cult involved, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
It was daylight.
The clouds and mist floating over the mountains had dissipated at some point, and looking far away, they could see far away.
Xu Xiaofei judged the direction and flew to Baihuzhai.
Hey, isn't that Lu Zhifeng?
After flying for a while, with sharp eyes, he saw an acquaintance in the forest below.
What is he doing sneaking into this wild forest instead of resting?
Lu Zhifeng didn't change his clothes, he was still dressed as last night, with a jug of wine in his hand, and a big branch of osmanthus in full bloom, as if he was going to have a private meeting with someone.
Xu Xiaofei was thinking about things just now, and he was lost in thought, and he hadn't had time to come out of the Zangzong Tower.Now that he bumped into Lu Zhifeng, he simply couldn't shrink back, and also slid up quietly.
He has always acted rashly, and he doesn't feel ashamed about following others.
Not long after, he followed Lu Zhifeng, who was walking alone, into a hidden valley.
It is said to be hidden because the valley is quite narrow, covered by huge rocks and towering trees, so it is difficult to find it from the sky.
The valley seemed to be a masonry altar.
There is a walkway leading to the altar. On both sides of the walkway, there are statues on both sides at intervals.These statues have different faces and lifelike expressions.
On the altar at the end of the trail, there is also a tall stone statue: a handsome boy in high spirits, with a giant tiger lying on his feet.This should be the ancestor of Baihu Village, and his friend Baihu.
Although Baihu betrayed him, when he erected the statue, he carved it together and stayed with him forever.
Xu Xiaofei watched Lu Zhifeng go to pay respects to his ancestors first, then walked back to the other end of the trail, and stopped in front of a statue at the end.
His wine, flower branches, and fresh fruits in Qiankun bags all seemed to be for this person.
He placed the tribute carefully, a little more carefully than when he faced his ancestors just now.
After placing them, he got up again and stared at the statue in front of him.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand, and caressed that face that was still cold and stiff even though it was portrayed quite alive.
"Brother, just wait," his eyes were gentle, but his words were full of firmness, "I will definitely get the number one warrior this time, and stand in the same position as you... I will definitely! You are here My ancestors have been waiting for me for 40 years, do you miss me very much? I miss you very much, and I can’t wait any longer.”
"40 years...is too long, too long."
Facing the silent statue, Lu Zhifeng muttered to himself alone.
"Even though I have been immersed in sword skills for 40 years, trying to improve my realm, and have no time to be distracted by other things, I sometimes feel that life is too difficult... Counting the days, waiting for the white tiger to appear, this life is really too much Suffering... Fortunately, everything is coming to an end. I can feel that most of the white tiger's power has died, and tonight is its death day."
He sighed softly.It was a sigh of joy.
"Brother... When we meet again this time, will you be surprised that I have grown a lot? I have been following in your footsteps, maybe now, I have the strength to compete with you! If you are not convinced, we might as well come again Let's compete, you don't need to put water on me anymore."
He whispered something in front of the stone statue again.Xu Xiaofei couldn't hear clearly.
He could only hear that Lu Zhifeng's voice was getting lower and lower, and more and more charming.
It's not like what a younger brother should say to his elder brother.
——It is the love story of a person who is infatuated with love.
Xu Xiaofei listened to what he said word for word.
He couldn't help but sighed inwardly.
From this point of view, Brother Rong probably has no hope... However, since Brother Rong has no hope, Brother Wei still has hope.
Originally, he felt that Big Brother Wei was a little different from Brother Rong.Brother Wei is of course very kind to him, maybe because of his young age, he is more tolerant, but his kindness to Rong Han is another kind.
It turned out that it wasn't obvious, but when Lu Zhifeng appeared, he could see it even though he was pretending to be blind.
Xu Xiaofei sighed in his heart, then suddenly came to his senses.
——Wait, what else did Lu Zhifeng say just now?
He said that soon it will be time for him to meet his eldest brother.His eldest brother, Lu Zhilin, has only one stone statue left, which seems to have passed away. Does every "first warrior" in Baihuzhai have to die?
This seems a bit strange... Presumably he guessed wrong.
"Brother, we will meet soon, I'll take a step first and go back to practice my sword." Lu Zhifeng lingered in front of the stone statue for a while, and said softly.
Xu Xiaofei hid in the Trace Tower and watched him turn and leave.
practice knife?
Now following the past, one can get a glimpse of Lu Zhifeng's unique sword technique, and he seems to be deeply immersed in this way.
But Xu Xiaofei was a bit embarrassed to spy on other people's words and actions, which was similar to stealing a teacher.
So Xu Xiaofei didn't move.
After waiting for a while, until he could no longer sense Lu Zhifeng's breath, he flew out of the tower.
Always stay in the tower, a bit boring.
Xu Xiaofei also landed in front of the statue and looked at the face.
It seems that he is somewhat similar to Lu Zhifeng... However, his eyebrows and eyes are more delicate, and his expression is more gentle, which is not quite what he imagined.
A gust of wind blows.
One of the fruits neatly stacked in front of the stone statue's feet was blown off and rolled aside.
He has never seen this kind of vermilion fresh fruit, maybe it is a special product in the mountains.
"What kind of fruit is this?" Xu Xiaofei murmured, "It looks delicious."
He bent down to pick it up, ready to put the fruit back where it was.
"Roar--"
Xu Xiaofei froze.
Turning around, he saw a huge white tiger staring at him coldly.
The dark blue tiger eyes, even in the daytime, are still shining with a palpitating cold light.
Didn't this white tiger go back to the cave? Why did it appear here?
Could it be... that he was frightened away by the people of the Devil's Cult, accidentally leaked his breath, and let the white tiger chase after him?
It doesn't matter how he followed, what matters is that he is no match for this white tiger at all!
It used to be dismissive of itself, but now, for some reason, it exudes a murderous aura around it.
"Hey, I have something to talk about," Xu Xiaofei slightly raised a hand, "It doesn't have to be a fight, does it? Look, I also have a Ganoderma lucidum, which I heard that monsters like to eat. Human meat tastes much better..."
He took one out of his Qiankun bag and threw it over.
Bai Hu didn't pick it up, but looked down at the Ganoderma lucidum, and was taken aback for a moment.
Taking advantage of its dazed effort, Xu Xiaofei has already called out the flying sword, and fled away with the sword.
The roar from behind suddenly sounded again.
The flying sword under his feet also stopped suddenly.
Xu Xiaofei looked back, met those tiger eyes, and suddenly his eyes became blurred.
He feels dizzy.
A cloud of shadow floated out from Baihu's deep pupils and fell into his heart.
Stirring up an endless vortex...
The world is spinning and the field of view is upside down.
The mind is gradually lost.
He fell from mid-air like a falcon with its wings broken.
……
One in front and one behind, two figures landed in the forest of stone pillars in front of Baihu Village.
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Where did this kid go and he hasn't come back yet?" Wei Xuanfeng said, "Does he really think he's here to visit the mountains and rivers, you bastard!"
He was blunt, but there was a hint of worry between his brows.
Twilight|Downfall, the soldiers in the village have put on their hardened swords and hid in the forest of stone pillars, waiting for the battle tonight.
Xu Xiaofei was still missing, Wei Rong and the two had been looking for him for a long time.
Rong Han comforted: "Brother Xu is good at skills and smart, so I think it will be fine. Maybe it's really because I lingered in a good place with a pleasant scenery for a while."
Although the two didn't say anything, they were both a little worried, did Xu Xiaofei meet that white tiger?
However, it is said that the white tiger hides during the day and comes out at night, and rarely shows up during the day...
While the two were talking, Lu Zhifeng came over.
He didn't rest all day and night, but he was still in good spirits.
The long knife hangs obliquely at his waist, and his figure is like a knife drawn out of its sheath, sharp and sharp.
He said: "That Brother Xu hasn't come back yet?"
Rong Han nodded.
Lu Zhifeng said: "Maybe he just lost his way. There are no particularly powerful monsters in this mountain forest. With his skill, he can handle it."
He glanced at the two of them and said again: "It's getting late, so I won't urge you to leave. Please go back to the village to rest. The white tiger will be killed tonight. You can stay as long as you want."
"Brother Lu, what are you talking about?" Rong Han said, "Of course I want to stay and fight against the enemy with you."
Wei Xuanfeng said: "He wants to stay, and I will go with him."
Lu Zhifeng was still indifferent and ungrateful.
"As I said before, it is not appropriate for outsiders to intervene in this battle. Please go back, you two, and I will toast and apologize to you after I triumph!"
"you……"
Wei Xuanfeng's suppressed anger almost burst out again.
But he suddenly saw a person.Surprised, he immediately forgot this anger.
"Stinky boy, finally you know you're back? Xiaorong and I have been looking for you for a long time!"
He said to the figure flying down from mid-air.
"Brother Xu, fortunately you are safe and sound." Rong Han also said.
The one who came was naturally Xu Xiaofei.
Xu Xiaofei did not respond to their greetings.
He originally wore a crown of hair.At this time, a strand of hair was scattered and fell from his forehead, blocking his eyes.It's hard to see the look on his face.
He landed silently beside the three of them.Except for the sound of breathing, it was almost as silent as a puppet.
This is not at all like his usual style.Wei Rong and the two were about to ask what happened, when he suddenly spoke.
"Get out of the way!"
At the same time, he raised his sword and stabbed Lu Zhifeng's chest.
This sword is really fast and very fierce!
Lu Zhifeng was caught off guard, and the other two were even more surprised.
The sword wind stirred up the broken hair on Xu Xiaofei's forehead, allowing them to see clearly the pair of pupils covered by the messy hair - it was a deep blue color!
Still glowing.
It is the light of the green will-o'-the-wisp.
It was also the divine light in the eyes of that bewitching white tiger.
Fortunately, Lu Zhifeng reacted alertly.He also has a lot of experience in front of battle, Xu Xiaofei stabbed with his sword, he was close at hand, but he managed to avoid it by half an inch.
The cold sword tip passed obliquely under his ribs.
He also has a knife in his hand.The fierce saber energy permeated in an instant.
Xu Xiaofei failed to hit him, the sword spread out and attacked him continuously.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing!" Rong Han was stunned for a moment, and joined the match.
From the looks of it, Xu Xiaofei suffered some kind of head drop technique.
His own consciousness seemed to be blurred, and he couldn't control his actions.
After Xu Xiaofei became a demon, he ignored his sword skills, and his spiritual power seemed to surge a lot.
He didn't even look at Rong Han and Wei Xuanfeng, and every sword went towards Lu Zhifeng.
It seems that they want to put him to death!
Xu Xiaofei didn't care about his own safety, but the three people who were facing him couldn't ignore him, and didn't dare to hit him too hard.
With his hands and feet tied, he was forced into a panic for a while.
After dozens of strokes in a row, Lu Zhifeng just looked for the right moment and slashed out, knocking him out with the back of the knife.
Wei Xuanfeng caught him who had fainted, felt his pulse, checked the breath in his body, and sighed: "This kid is indeed manipulated by someone's secret method."
"Really? I wonder if he can wake up after sleeping." Rong Han said.
He looked at Lu Zhifeng again.
Lu Zhifeng's face was pale, and he sat down on the spot with his support.
The injury to his ribs, although not fatal, was already serious.In an instant, her chest turned red.
Rong Han said, "I'll apply the medicine for you."
"Thank you."
He untied Lu Zhifeng's coat, wiped the wound medicine on him, and wrapped it up with cloth strips.The hands are soft and skilful.
After applying the medicine, he said, "I'll help you go back and rest."
"Go back to rest?" Lu Zhifeng laughed when he heard the words, "How can I go back to rest at this time?"
He took it for granted.
Rong Han was taken aback for a moment, and then, the mild-tempered him also burst into anger.
This burst of anger turned into a thin blush, floating on his fair cheeks.
"Do you still want to stay and fight against the enemy? You don't want to die!"
"That's right," Lu Zhifeng said, "Even if I lose my life, I must stay today."
He suddenly took something out of the Qiankun bag, brought it to his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The movement was too fast, and Rong Han had no time to stop it.
"You...what did you eat?"
"It's just a powerful wound medicine." Lu Zhifeng replied indifferently.
The effect of this elixir is really powerful.
As soon as he took it, blood came back to his face.Some of the weak breath also became strong again.
But Rong Han is also an old man.He knew that often this kind of powerful elixir would cause the user to pay a terrible price - the injury would heal for a while, but it would also leave a disease in the body that would never be eradicated.
"Why do you have to do this? I heard that you are for the title of 'Number One Warrior'... This title is really worthy of you..."
Rong Han paused.
He couldn't go on.
It was Lu Zhifeng's body that was damaged, but it seemed that the pain was in his heart.
"It's worth it, of course it's worth it." Lu Zhifeng said, "I also said that this matter is more important than my life. You don't understand, because you don't understand me at all."
Lu Zhifeng actually sensed Rong Han's intentions, but he couldn't respond, so he simply pretended not to know.
Simply, speak more coldly.
"Really?" Rong Han said disappointedly, "I don't know you well enough... I really don't understand what you are looking for."
The expression on his face made Wei Xuanfeng unable to bear it any longer.
"Xiao Rong!"
Rong Han shook his head, pursed his lips, quickly put away his lost look, and suddenly said: "In that case, I won't stop you...but you can't stop me either, I must stay tonight. I won't To intervene in your battle with the white tiger, I will only sweep the formation for you and protect your safety."
He also said that he was as firm as a rock, unshakable.
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Lu Zhifeng sighed and said, "It's up to you."
……
Xu Xiaofei slowly opened his eyes, looking at the dark beams.
where is thisHow could he be lying here?
His whole body was still sore, as if he had touched someone, but it was not a serious problem.
After a while, he gradually remembered.
This is the home of the aunt in Baihu Village.
He sat up.He can still clearly recall those strange, soul-stirring tiger eyes he saw last... Everything after that was separated by a layer of veil, like flowers in the moon water in a mirror, and he couldn't tell clearly up.
oops!He slammed his fist on the bed.
Lost in his mind, he seemed to have sneaked up on Lu Zhifeng and even stabbed someone.I hope Lu Zhifeng doesn't get hurt too badly, he has to go and have a look and apologize...
The white tiger manipulated him to hurt people, probably because he was afraid of Lu Zhifeng's sword skills, and wanted to get rid of this enemy first!
Without Lu Zhifeng, tonight's combat power will indeed be reduced a lot.
Xu Xiaofei got out of bed and got dressed.
Looking through the half-opened window, it was already late at night outside, and with his hearing, he could still hear the sound of fighting in the distance.
He pushed open the door, walked downstairs, and was taken aback for a moment.
A person is sitting at the wooden table.It was the lady who made delicious scallion pancakes, and she was still mending clothes by the light of an oil lamp the size of a bean.
Hearing Xu Xiaofei's footsteps, she turned her head to look.
"Young man, are you awake? It's still early before dawn, so lie down a little longer."
"No, I'll go out and have a look, and I won't be able to sleep anymore." Xu Xiaofei said, "Auntie, are you still sleeping?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately thought that the aunt was anxiously waiting for her son to come back, how could she sleep peacefully.
After talking to the aunt for a few words, and asking where Lu Zhifeng's house was, Xu Xiaofei walked out.
Strange, he didn't stay in the house to recuperate?
Xu Xiaofei stood in front of the empty and quiet small building and was stunned for a while.
He vaguely remembered that Lu Zhifeng was seriously injured.If he had to face the white tiger with such an injury, it would probably be almost as dead.However, from what he said in front of Lu Zhilin's stone statue, maybe he really wants to go into battle with injuries...
Xu Xiaofei suddenly came back to his senses, used his escape technique, and flew out of the stockade.
He didn't want Lu Zhifeng to die because of him!
Halfway through the flight, I saw a group of people rushing towards me head-on.
Most of the people were covered in blood, but their faces were full of joy, and their momentum was quite high.
Huh, that's not—
Xu Xiaofei caught a glimpse of the huge white tiger with shiny satin fur, carried by two strong men one after the other, and transported to the gate of Baihu Village.
A ferocious bloodstain ran through its back, almost splitting it in half.
It seems that the white tiger is dead.
Baihuzhai will have a new "No. [-] Warrior" born.
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xu."
Wei Rong and the two had spotted him, flew out from the crowd, and stopped in front of him.
Rong Han said, "It looks like you've recovered?"
Xu Xiaofei said embarrassingly: "I'm already healed, and I won't hack people indiscriminately. I have to apologize to Brother Lu."
"We know that your mistake was unintentional, and we have made amends for you," Wei Xuanfeng said, "However, you should really go and make amends for him yourself... although I don't like him very much!"
He did not hide his annoyance with Lu Zhifeng.
Xu Xiaofei found Lu Zhifeng in the crowd.
He was surrounded by the crowd, talking with others, and smiling heartily from time to time, obviously in a good mood.
His footsteps are also very steady when he walks, and he does not appear to be seriously injured.
Xu Xiaofei was startled.
He almost suspected that his sword hadn't pierced... But the reactions of Wei Rong and the two told him that he remembered correctly.
The resilience of ordinary people will never be so good.Could it be that Lu Zhifeng took some secret medicine to heal his injuries?
He stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and sincerely apologized.
If there is a drive in the future, he will definitely do his best.
Lu Zhifeng waved his hands, as if he didn't hear what he was saying, and didn't care at all.
The villagers who came back from the victory shouted joyously, and Lu Zhifeng seemed to be the greatest hero among them, and a recognized hero.
He didn't seem to care about the respect and praise of others.
His heart has flown far, far away.
His eyes were not looking at the group of people around him either.
—perhaps looking beyond the world!
Xu Xiaofei had no choice but to step aside.It seems that he can only find an opportunity to do something for Lu Zhifeng in the future.
I don't know if he still has such a chance.
"They set up an open-air celebration wine in the village, do you want to join in the fun?" Wei Xuanfeng beside him asked.
"Okay." Rong Han said.
"Okay, let's go now. I can already smell the aroma of wine and meat!" Xu Xiaofei was fine.
To be honest, he was hungry too.
A jug of wine, a plate of meat, a piece of cake, whatever it is, he wants to have some.
And this celebration wine should be quite rich.
The banquet has been set up in the largest open space in the center of the village.Bonfires were also lit.
There is strong wine, there is meat grilled until the skin is golden, there are musicians playing the violin, and pretty girls and boys take turns singing and dancing.
The three good friends also sat down by the campfire.
People kept coming to toast them, and the villagers in Baihu Village were quite hospitable.
Lu Zhifeng, who was so surrounded by everyone, came to look for them.
He also made an extra toast to Rong Han.
"This glass of wine, thank you for taking care of me in the past. If you want to, I will do it first as a respect."
He brought the glass to his lips, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp.
Rong Han also drank the wine in his glass silently.
After Lu Zhifeng left, he sat down again, but there was still a thick mist in his eyes.
He seemed to have noticed something, and felt a little uneasy, Xu Xiaofei also saw it.
What did Lu Zhifeng mean in front of the stone statue?
He felt that Rong Han should be informed, but telling him might only increase his troubles.
Xu Xiaofei swept his eyes and saw the boy from Baihuzhai who led them home, and he had another idea in his heart.
He got up and walked over to the boy.
The boy's happy mother was sitting beside him, Xu Xiaofei smiled and nodded towards her, leaned into the boy's ear, whispered a few words to him, and the two left the open area where the banquet was set up.
Xu Xiaofei kept taking him to a remote and uninhabited corner.
"Brother Xu, what's the important thing you want to tell me?" the boy asked curiously.
Xu Xiaofei said: "I still want to ask you, are you hiding something from us? Lu Zhifeng can be said to be the number one warrior in your Baihu Village. What will happen to him?"
The young man was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hands: "What will happen... We have always respected the warriors of our clan."
But when Xu Xiaofei saw his reaction, he knew that he was not telling the truth.
"Don't lie to me, I know, he will go to a far away place, and no one will see him again, right?"
The boy opened his mouth, as if stunned.
"You... how do you know?"
"Sure?"
Seeing that his lies were exposed, the young man had no choice but to say honestly: "Brother Xu, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter cannot be told to people outside the village. Since you don't know why, and you know so much, I Just tell you, don't tell outsiders."
"Well, don't worry, just say it!"
Xu Xiaofei also made an oath.
The young man said: "Actually... every time the first warrior is selected, a ceremony will be held, and the warrior will drink the blood of the white tiger, eat the meat of the white tiger, and make a cloak from the skin of the white tiger... because the body is immortal The blood of the immortal gods flows in the body of the white tiger, and it has the godhead of the ancient times. After performing the ceremony, the warriors can obtain its power and quickly improve their realm... Then, they soar overnight. The ancestors who have already become gods have sensed it and will come to welcome it his."
He said with a bitter face: "You must not tell outsiders this secret! Let outsiders know the secret of the white tiger, and the next time the white tiger appears, it will not be the turn of my clan."
"So that's how it is... This method of ascension to immortality is very simple and convenient. If outsiders find out, I don't know how many people will have their heads cut off."
Soaring up so easily, I am afraid that he is not a decent fairy, is he?Not relying on one's own strength, but seizing the power of spirit beasts. There are many precedents for this kind of thing, but most of the immortals who become immortals are heretic evil gods...
Of course, Xu Xiaofei only dared to think about this kind of thing in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the young man.
It seems that Lu Zhilin ascended to the ascension more than 40 years ago, and has never been seen since then. If Lu Zhifeng wants to catch up with him, he has no choice but to try his best to become the "first warrior".
It's not bad that he got what he wanted.
"Okay, don't worry, I've sworn that I'll never say anything!" Xu Xiaofei patted the young man's shoulder and said with a smile, "As for myself, I never thought of getting promoted by this method. Immortal. This is your opportunity in Baihuzhai, and it may not be suitable for me. If the master and senior brother know that I don’t practice well and just dream of the pie in the sky, don’t break my legs.”
"Brother Xu's master and elder brother are very strict?" The boy blinked and asked.
"Cough... Actually, it's not harsh, it's good to me." Xu Xiaofei coughed, "It's just that sometimes I accidentally cause some troubles, and it's all for them to worry about."
It will be the Dao Discussion Conference soon, and I don't know how is the master's swordsmanship?
Guess he'll be fine!
Senior brother has always been reliable, much more reliable than himself.
It seems that Rong Han should still be informed about the matter that he inquired about.
Lu Zhifeng will disappear after tonight.Brother Rong's heart shouldn't be hanging there.
He knew Lu Zhifeng's whereabouts, and thinking about it... he would be happy for him.Even if he is unhappy, he will not worry about him.
Xu Xiaofei also sincerely told the young man about it, and after getting his consent, he released a bronze sparrow for summoning, flew to the banquet, and called Rong Han over.
Rong Han also swears the inner demon oath, and listens to the young man tell the story.
He was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Really? No wonder I found something wrong with him today..."
Regardless of his own serious injuries, Lu Zhifeng reluctantly entered the battle by taking forbidden drugs. He couldn't agree with it, and couldn't understand it.
Thinking about it this way, everything worked out.
Rong Han still smelled of alcohol, obviously he had drunk a lot.
He smiled suddenly: "It turns out that the glass of wine he specially toasted me tonight is a farewell wine... There will be no next time, and there will be no next glass."
The young man seemed to have noticed something, and couldn't help saying: "Brother Feng is still having fun with everyone, why don't you go and talk to him again?"
"No," Rong Han shook his head, stunned for a moment, then shook his head again, "He has nothing else to say to me, and I... have nothing to say to him. It's useless to say anything. This matter We shouldn't let outsiders like us know, so I can't congratulate him, can I?"
It's useless to say anything, it's too late to say anything...
Back then, when he was a child and lost his way in the mountains, he was the one who sent him back to the Rong family.
When he was extremely hungry, Lu Zhifeng caught the fish from the river and grilled it with his own hands. He still remembers the taste to this day.
After all, it will become an irretrievable memory...
Back at the banquet, Rong Han was still drinking the dull wine in one sip.
But Xu Xiaofei knew that he was watching Lu Zhifeng quietly.
This is the last time.
Wei Xuanfeng still didn't understand why, so Xu Xiaofei didn't want him to ask more questions, so he pulled him, you have a drink and I have a drink, talking nonsense.
No matter how lively the banquet is, there will be times when it ends.
The bonfire went out, leaving only a pool of cold ashes.The dishes that had been swept away were also picked up.
Everyone sent their hero Lu Zhifeng to a hut outside the village.
This is where the ceremony should be held.
During the ceremony, it seems that no one else is allowed to disturb.Watching Lu Zhifeng enter the room, everyone left in twos and threes.
The young man who told Xu Xiaofei the truth also said to them eagerly: "Let's go! This is also the rule passed down by the ancestors. If you want to peep, you will be punished by heaven!"
The three had to leave.
Scourge?Xu Xiaofei didn't quite believe it.But he didn't want to make that boy difficult.
He turned back again, and glanced at the hut standing alone in the middle of the night.
Is Lu Zhifeng really going to ascend to immortality?
……
There is a large stone table in the room, the surface is smooth, and people can be seen.
Two bright red candles, one on the left and one on the right, were placed on both sides of the stone table, still burning faintly.
In the center is of course the huge body of the white tiger.
Lu Zhifeng pulled out the long knife at his waist, and the tip of the knife shone brightly.
Bloodletting, meat eating, and finally wearing half a piece of white tiger skin that was peeled off...
His hands, as he did all this, were steady and skilled.
He is not only an excellent swordsman, but also an excellent hunter. He has long been familiar with how to cook the hunted beasts.
Although the wound on his chest was still aching, he just regarded it as being bitten by a mosquito and didn't take it to heart at all.
This white tiger was really cunning, and manipulated a person to attack him in advance.
It's a pity that no one can stop what he is going to do.
The blood is very fishy, and the smell of raw meat is even stronger.When he wrapped the tiger skin around his body, the strong smell of blood kept pouring into his nose, making it almost difficult to breathe.
Lu Zhifeng didn't care either.
These mundane troubles will not leave traces in his heart at all.
big brother...
I will meet you soon!
He felt that the blood in his body seemed to be burning, and the spiritual power in the sea of air was also frantically swirling.
Gradually, the body is filled with power that I didn't even dare to imagine before.
Is he going to ascend?
He is merging with the power of this white tiger.
He is the white tiger, and the white tiger is...
this moment.
A sliver of consciousness remaining in the white tiger's dead flesh floated into his mind.
He could sense the intermittent thoughts of Baihu during his lifetime.
How is this possible... How is this possible? !
He suddenly lowered his head and looked at his blood-stained hands.
These hands, at some point, have quietly grown hair, and the nails have become sharp and long, and they have unexpectedly become a pair of tiger claws...
"what--"
He looked at the "hands" in disbelief.
Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing scream.
It turned out to be a hoax... It turned out that everything was a hoax!
There is nothing to ascend to immortality, and his beloved elder brother has never spent a day in the fairyland.
——Just tonight, he was killed by his own hands!
Moreover, he ate meat and drank blood.
Has anyone ever done... more unconscionable things to a loved one?
His consciousness gradually blurred.
He who fell into madness could also vaguely feel that there was a powerful spiritual consciousness eroding him.
It's not that he got the power of the white tiger, but that the white tiger got a fresh meat sacrifice.
The tiger skin on his back has grown together with his back.
"Give me your body."
A voice coaxed him in this way.
"I know you have resentment, but this is the fate of the people of Baihu Village. The power of the White Tiger is a burden and a heavy responsibility, and someone must pass it on."
"Otherwise, something terrible will happen."
"No... I absolutely don't accept it!"
Lu Zhifeng suddenly slapped himself on the chest.
He can't live anymore.
He also never wanted to let such a tragedy be re-enacted on his younger generations.
But his palm failed to be real.Because of that divine sense, he was forcibly stopped.
……
"So that's what happened. This vulgarity is really scary."
Above the sky, Shen Jinglan watched the scene below and said.
"Although it's terrible, none of the victims can speak out, because they all turned into white tigers." Lin Yan said.
"Why did their ancestors make such a rule?" Shen Jinglan looked at him.
He seemed certain that Lin Yan would know.
Lin Yan didn't answer directly, but said: "Master, keep reading and you'll know."
"boom"
The hut below collapsed suddenly, and a white shadow flew out of it.
Perhaps in the eyes of the villagers in Baihuzhai, it was Lu Zhifeng's ascension vision.
Shen Jinglan saw him clearly at a glance.
Most of his body has turned into a tiger's body, and stripes have appeared on his face, but he still stubbornly retains his human appearance.
No one could bear to take another look at the look on his face.
"He should have completely turned into a white tiger, but he only changed half of it. It seems that something went wrong." Shen Jinglan said.
While talking, he looked at Lin Yan again.
Lin Yan said: "Does the leader think I did it again? It's not bad, I added some condiments to the pot of broth that was fed to the white tiger. The condiments are not harmful to the leader's body."
Shen Jinglan smiled and said: "Even if
Xu Xiaofei flew a long way before stopping to catch his breath.
It's okay, no one is chasing him, and his own life is still there.
Xu Xiaofei saved his life, and began to regret again.I couldn't get a glimpse of that person's face again... I can only wait for a later opportunity.
The other person who sealed his consciousness was also inexplicably familiar.The man's power is too strong, Xu Xiaofei is actually afraid in his heart, but besides the fear, he also wants to get close to him.And sympathize with him, wanting to share his pain.
Xu Xiaofei didn't know why he had such complicated emotions towards him.
Maybe everything has something to do with my lost memory.
If given the chance, I really hope to make friends with that person!
Of course, Xu Xiaofei didn't forget that these two people are members of the Demon Cult.
The Demon Cult is not full of treacherous and evil people, and these two don't look alike at first glance.But it seems that every time someone from the Devil's Cult shows up, bad things happen immediately.
Could it be that they were responsible for the white tiger attack this time?
Xu Xiaofei thought for a while, then shook his head again.
The legend of the white tiger was passed down many years ago. This time, the people in the village did not notice anything unusual. This matter should have nothing to do with them... I hope so.
If there is a demon cult involved, I don't know how much trouble it will cause.
It was daylight.
The clouds and mist floating over the mountains had dissipated at some point, and looking far away, they could see far away.
Xu Xiaofei judged the direction and flew to Baihuzhai.
Hey, isn't that Lu Zhifeng?
After flying for a while, with sharp eyes, he saw an acquaintance in the forest below.
What is he doing sneaking into this wild forest instead of resting?
Lu Zhifeng didn't change his clothes, he was still dressed as last night, with a jug of wine in his hand, and a big branch of osmanthus in full bloom, as if he was going to have a private meeting with someone.
Xu Xiaofei was thinking about things just now, and he was lost in thought, and he hadn't had time to come out of the Zangzong Tower.Now that he bumped into Lu Zhifeng, he simply couldn't shrink back, and also slid up quietly.
He has always acted rashly, and he doesn't feel ashamed about following others.
Not long after, he followed Lu Zhifeng, who was walking alone, into a hidden valley.
It is said to be hidden because the valley is quite narrow, covered by huge rocks and towering trees, so it is difficult to find it from the sky.
The valley seemed to be a masonry altar.
There is a walkway leading to the altar. On both sides of the walkway, there are statues on both sides at intervals.These statues have different faces and lifelike expressions.
On the altar at the end of the trail, there is also a tall stone statue: a handsome boy in high spirits, with a giant tiger lying on his feet.This should be the ancestor of Baihu Village, and his friend Baihu.
Although Baihu betrayed him, when he erected the statue, he carved it together and stayed with him forever.
Xu Xiaofei watched Lu Zhifeng go to pay respects to his ancestors first, then walked back to the other end of the trail, and stopped in front of a statue at the end.
His wine, flower branches, and fresh fruits in Qiankun bags all seemed to be for this person.
He placed the tribute carefully, a little more carefully than when he faced his ancestors just now.
After placing them, he got up again and stared at the statue in front of him.
Suddenly he stretched out his hand, and caressed that face that was still cold and stiff even though it was portrayed quite alive.
"Brother, just wait," his eyes were gentle, but his words were full of firmness, "I will definitely get the number one warrior this time, and stand in the same position as you... I will definitely! You are here My ancestors have been waiting for me for 40 years, do you miss me very much? I miss you very much, and I can’t wait any longer.”
"40 years...is too long, too long."
Facing the silent statue, Lu Zhifeng muttered to himself alone.
"Even though I have been immersed in sword skills for 40 years, trying to improve my realm, and have no time to be distracted by other things, I sometimes feel that life is too difficult... Counting the days, waiting for the white tiger to appear, this life is really too much Suffering... Fortunately, everything is coming to an end. I can feel that most of the white tiger's power has died, and tonight is its death day."
He sighed softly.It was a sigh of joy.
"Brother... When we meet again this time, will you be surprised that I have grown a lot? I have been following in your footsteps, maybe now, I have the strength to compete with you! If you are not convinced, we might as well come again Let's compete, you don't need to put water on me anymore."
He whispered something in front of the stone statue again.Xu Xiaofei couldn't hear clearly.
He could only hear that Lu Zhifeng's voice was getting lower and lower, and more and more charming.
It's not like what a younger brother should say to his elder brother.
——It is the love story of a person who is infatuated with love.
Xu Xiaofei listened to what he said word for word.
He couldn't help but sighed inwardly.
From this point of view, Brother Rong probably has no hope... However, since Brother Rong has no hope, Brother Wei still has hope.
Originally, he felt that Big Brother Wei was a little different from Brother Rong.Brother Wei is of course very kind to him, maybe because of his young age, he is more tolerant, but his kindness to Rong Han is another kind.
It turned out that it wasn't obvious, but when Lu Zhifeng appeared, he could see it even though he was pretending to be blind.
Xu Xiaofei sighed in his heart, then suddenly came to his senses.
——Wait, what else did Lu Zhifeng say just now?
He said that soon it will be time for him to meet his eldest brother.His eldest brother, Lu Zhilin, has only one stone statue left, which seems to have passed away. Does every "first warrior" in Baihuzhai have to die?
This seems a bit strange... Presumably he guessed wrong.
"Brother, we will meet soon, I'll take a step first and go back to practice my sword." Lu Zhifeng lingered in front of the stone statue for a while, and said softly.
Xu Xiaofei hid in the Trace Tower and watched him turn and leave.
practice knife?
Now following the past, one can get a glimpse of Lu Zhifeng's unique sword technique, and he seems to be deeply immersed in this way.
But Xu Xiaofei was a bit embarrassed to spy on other people's words and actions, which was similar to stealing a teacher.
So Xu Xiaofei didn't move.
After waiting for a while, until he could no longer sense Lu Zhifeng's breath, he flew out of the tower.
Always stay in the tower, a bit boring.
Xu Xiaofei also landed in front of the statue and looked at the face.
It seems that he is somewhat similar to Lu Zhifeng... However, his eyebrows and eyes are more delicate, and his expression is more gentle, which is not quite what he imagined.
A gust of wind blows.
One of the fruits neatly stacked in front of the stone statue's feet was blown off and rolled aside.
He has never seen this kind of vermilion fresh fruit, maybe it is a special product in the mountains.
"What kind of fruit is this?" Xu Xiaofei murmured, "It looks delicious."
He bent down to pick it up, ready to put the fruit back where it was.
"Roar--"
Xu Xiaofei froze.
Turning around, he saw a huge white tiger staring at him coldly.
The dark blue tiger eyes, even in the daytime, are still shining with a palpitating cold light.
Didn't this white tiger go back to the cave? Why did it appear here?
Could it be... that he was frightened away by the people of the Devil's Cult, accidentally leaked his breath, and let the white tiger chase after him?
It doesn't matter how he followed, what matters is that he is no match for this white tiger at all!
It used to be dismissive of itself, but now, for some reason, it exudes a murderous aura around it.
"Hey, I have something to talk about," Xu Xiaofei slightly raised a hand, "It doesn't have to be a fight, does it? Look, I also have a Ganoderma lucidum, which I heard that monsters like to eat. Human meat tastes much better..."
He took one out of his Qiankun bag and threw it over.
Bai Hu didn't pick it up, but looked down at the Ganoderma lucidum, and was taken aback for a moment.
Taking advantage of its dazed effort, Xu Xiaofei has already called out the flying sword, and fled away with the sword.
The roar from behind suddenly sounded again.
The flying sword under his feet also stopped suddenly.
Xu Xiaofei looked back, met those tiger eyes, and suddenly his eyes became blurred.
He feels dizzy.
A cloud of shadow floated out from Baihu's deep pupils and fell into his heart.
Stirring up an endless vortex...
The world is spinning and the field of view is upside down.
The mind is gradually lost.
He fell from mid-air like a falcon with its wings broken.
……
One in front and one behind, two figures landed in the forest of stone pillars in front of Baihu Village.
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Where did this kid go and he hasn't come back yet?" Wei Xuanfeng said, "Does he really think he's here to visit the mountains and rivers, you bastard!"
He was blunt, but there was a hint of worry between his brows.
Twilight|Downfall, the soldiers in the village have put on their hardened swords and hid in the forest of stone pillars, waiting for the battle tonight.
Xu Xiaofei was still missing, Wei Rong and the two had been looking for him for a long time.
Rong Han comforted: "Brother Xu is good at skills and smart, so I think it will be fine. Maybe it's really because I lingered in a good place with a pleasant scenery for a while."
Although the two didn't say anything, they were both a little worried, did Xu Xiaofei meet that white tiger?
However, it is said that the white tiger hides during the day and comes out at night, and rarely shows up during the day...
While the two were talking, Lu Zhifeng came over.
He didn't rest all day and night, but he was still in good spirits.
The long knife hangs obliquely at his waist, and his figure is like a knife drawn out of its sheath, sharp and sharp.
He said: "That Brother Xu hasn't come back yet?"
Rong Han nodded.
Lu Zhifeng said: "Maybe he just lost his way. There are no particularly powerful monsters in this mountain forest. With his skill, he can handle it."
He glanced at the two of them and said again: "It's getting late, so I won't urge you to leave. Please go back to the village to rest. The white tiger will be killed tonight. You can stay as long as you want."
"Brother Lu, what are you talking about?" Rong Han said, "Of course I want to stay and fight against the enemy with you."
Wei Xuanfeng said: "He wants to stay, and I will go with him."
Lu Zhifeng was still indifferent and ungrateful.
"As I said before, it is not appropriate for outsiders to intervene in this battle. Please go back, you two, and I will toast and apologize to you after I triumph!"
"you……"
Wei Xuanfeng's suppressed anger almost burst out again.
But he suddenly saw a person.Surprised, he immediately forgot this anger.
"Stinky boy, finally you know you're back? Xiaorong and I have been looking for you for a long time!"
He said to the figure flying down from mid-air.
"Brother Xu, fortunately you are safe and sound." Rong Han also said.
The one who came was naturally Xu Xiaofei.
Xu Xiaofei did not respond to their greetings.
He originally wore a crown of hair.At this time, a strand of hair was scattered and fell from his forehead, blocking his eyes.It's hard to see the look on his face.
He landed silently beside the three of them.Except for the sound of breathing, it was almost as silent as a puppet.
This is not at all like his usual style.Wei Rong and the two were about to ask what happened, when he suddenly spoke.
"Get out of the way!"
At the same time, he raised his sword and stabbed Lu Zhifeng's chest.
This sword is really fast and very fierce!
Lu Zhifeng was caught off guard, and the other two were even more surprised.
The sword wind stirred up the broken hair on Xu Xiaofei's forehead, allowing them to see clearly the pair of pupils covered by the messy hair - it was a deep blue color!
Still glowing.
It is the light of the green will-o'-the-wisp.
It was also the divine light in the eyes of that bewitching white tiger.
Fortunately, Lu Zhifeng reacted alertly.He also has a lot of experience in front of battle, Xu Xiaofei stabbed with his sword, he was close at hand, but he managed to avoid it by half an inch.
The cold sword tip passed obliquely under his ribs.
He also has a knife in his hand.The fierce saber energy permeated in an instant.
Xu Xiaofei failed to hit him, the sword spread out and attacked him continuously.
"Brother Xu, what are you doing!" Rong Han was stunned for a moment, and joined the match.
From the looks of it, Xu Xiaofei suffered some kind of head drop technique.
His own consciousness seemed to be blurred, and he couldn't control his actions.
After Xu Xiaofei became a demon, he ignored his sword skills, and his spiritual power seemed to surge a lot.
He didn't even look at Rong Han and Wei Xuanfeng, and every sword went towards Lu Zhifeng.
It seems that they want to put him to death!
Xu Xiaofei didn't care about his own safety, but the three people who were facing him couldn't ignore him, and didn't dare to hit him too hard.
With his hands and feet tied, he was forced into a panic for a while.
After dozens of strokes in a row, Lu Zhifeng just looked for the right moment and slashed out, knocking him out with the back of the knife.
Wei Xuanfeng caught him who had fainted, felt his pulse, checked the breath in his body, and sighed: "This kid is indeed manipulated by someone's secret method."
"Really? I wonder if he can wake up after sleeping." Rong Han said.
He looked at Lu Zhifeng again.
Lu Zhifeng's face was pale, and he sat down on the spot with his support.
The injury to his ribs, although not fatal, was already serious.In an instant, her chest turned red.
Rong Han said, "I'll apply the medicine for you."
"Thank you."
He untied Lu Zhifeng's coat, wiped the wound medicine on him, and wrapped it up with cloth strips.The hands are soft and skilful.
After applying the medicine, he said, "I'll help you go back and rest."
"Go back to rest?" Lu Zhifeng laughed when he heard the words, "How can I go back to rest at this time?"
He took it for granted.
Rong Han was taken aback for a moment, and then, the mild-tempered him also burst into anger.
This burst of anger turned into a thin blush, floating on his fair cheeks.
"Do you still want to stay and fight against the enemy? You don't want to die!"
"That's right," Lu Zhifeng said, "Even if I lose my life, I must stay today."
He suddenly took something out of the Qiankun bag, brought it to his mouth, and swallowed it in one gulp.
The movement was too fast, and Rong Han had no time to stop it.
"You...what did you eat?"
"It's just a powerful wound medicine." Lu Zhifeng replied indifferently.
The effect of this elixir is really powerful.
As soon as he took it, blood came back to his face.Some of the weak breath also became strong again.
But Rong Han is also an old man.He knew that often this kind of powerful elixir would cause the user to pay a terrible price - the injury would heal for a while, but it would also leave a disease in the body that would never be eradicated.
"Why do you have to do this? I heard that you are for the title of 'Number One Warrior'... This title is really worthy of you..."
Rong Han paused.
He couldn't go on.
It was Lu Zhifeng's body that was damaged, but it seemed that the pain was in his heart.
"It's worth it, of course it's worth it." Lu Zhifeng said, "I also said that this matter is more important than my life. You don't understand, because you don't understand me at all."
Lu Zhifeng actually sensed Rong Han's intentions, but he couldn't respond, so he simply pretended not to know.
Simply, speak more coldly.
"Really?" Rong Han said disappointedly, "I don't know you well enough... I really don't understand what you are looking for."
The expression on his face made Wei Xuanfeng unable to bear it any longer.
"Xiao Rong!"
Rong Han shook his head, pursed his lips, quickly put away his lost look, and suddenly said: "In that case, I won't stop you...but you can't stop me either, I must stay tonight. I won't To intervene in your battle with the white tiger, I will only sweep the formation for you and protect your safety."
He also said that he was as firm as a rock, unshakable.
Seeing that he couldn't be persuaded, Lu Zhifeng sighed and said, "It's up to you."
……
Xu Xiaofei slowly opened his eyes, looking at the dark beams.
where is thisHow could he be lying here?
His whole body was still sore, as if he had touched someone, but it was not a serious problem.
After a while, he gradually remembered.
This is the home of the aunt in Baihu Village.
He sat up.He can still clearly recall those strange, soul-stirring tiger eyes he saw last... Everything after that was separated by a layer of veil, like flowers in the moon water in a mirror, and he couldn't tell clearly up.
oops!He slammed his fist on the bed.
Lost in his mind, he seemed to have sneaked up on Lu Zhifeng and even stabbed someone.I hope Lu Zhifeng doesn't get hurt too badly, he has to go and have a look and apologize...
The white tiger manipulated him to hurt people, probably because he was afraid of Lu Zhifeng's sword skills, and wanted to get rid of this enemy first!
Without Lu Zhifeng, tonight's combat power will indeed be reduced a lot.
Xu Xiaofei got out of bed and got dressed.
Looking through the half-opened window, it was already late at night outside, and with his hearing, he could still hear the sound of fighting in the distance.
He pushed open the door, walked downstairs, and was taken aback for a moment.
A person is sitting at the wooden table.It was the lady who made delicious scallion pancakes, and she was still mending clothes by the light of an oil lamp the size of a bean.
Hearing Xu Xiaofei's footsteps, she turned her head to look.
"Young man, are you awake? It's still early before dawn, so lie down a little longer."
"No, I'll go out and have a look, and I won't be able to sleep anymore." Xu Xiaofei said, "Auntie, are you still sleeping?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, he immediately thought that the aunt was anxiously waiting for her son to come back, how could she sleep peacefully.
After talking to the aunt for a few words, and asking where Lu Zhifeng's house was, Xu Xiaofei walked out.
Strange, he didn't stay in the house to recuperate?
Xu Xiaofei stood in front of the empty and quiet small building and was stunned for a while.
He vaguely remembered that Lu Zhifeng was seriously injured.If he had to face the white tiger with such an injury, it would probably be almost as dead.However, from what he said in front of Lu Zhilin's stone statue, maybe he really wants to go into battle with injuries...
Xu Xiaofei suddenly came back to his senses, used his escape technique, and flew out of the stockade.
He didn't want Lu Zhifeng to die because of him!
Halfway through the flight, I saw a group of people rushing towards me head-on.
Most of the people were covered in blood, but their faces were full of joy, and their momentum was quite high.
Huh, that's not—
Xu Xiaofei caught a glimpse of the huge white tiger with shiny satin fur, carried by two strong men one after the other, and transported to the gate of Baihu Village.
A ferocious bloodstain ran through its back, almost splitting it in half.
It seems that the white tiger is dead.
Baihuzhai will have a new "No. [-] Warrior" born.
"Brother Xu!"
"Brother Xu."
Wei Rong and the two had spotted him, flew out from the crowd, and stopped in front of him.
Rong Han said, "It looks like you've recovered?"
Xu Xiaofei said embarrassingly: "I'm already healed, and I won't hack people indiscriminately. I have to apologize to Brother Lu."
"We know that your mistake was unintentional, and we have made amends for you," Wei Xuanfeng said, "However, you should really go and make amends for him yourself... although I don't like him very much!"
He did not hide his annoyance with Lu Zhifeng.
Xu Xiaofei found Lu Zhifeng in the crowd.
He was surrounded by the crowd, talking with others, and smiling heartily from time to time, obviously in a good mood.
His footsteps are also very steady when he walks, and he does not appear to be seriously injured.
Xu Xiaofei was startled.
He almost suspected that his sword hadn't pierced... But the reactions of Wei Rong and the two told him that he remembered correctly.
The resilience of ordinary people will never be so good.Could it be that Lu Zhifeng took some secret medicine to heal his injuries?
He stepped forward, clasped his hands together, and sincerely apologized.
If there is a drive in the future, he will definitely do his best.
Lu Zhifeng waved his hands, as if he didn't hear what he was saying, and didn't care at all.
The villagers who came back from the victory shouted joyously, and Lu Zhifeng seemed to be the greatest hero among them, and a recognized hero.
He didn't seem to care about the respect and praise of others.
His heart has flown far, far away.
His eyes were not looking at the group of people around him either.
—perhaps looking beyond the world!
Xu Xiaofei had no choice but to step aside.It seems that he can only find an opportunity to do something for Lu Zhifeng in the future.
I don't know if he still has such a chance.
"They set up an open-air celebration wine in the village, do you want to join in the fun?" Wei Xuanfeng beside him asked.
"Okay." Rong Han said.
"Okay, let's go now. I can already smell the aroma of wine and meat!" Xu Xiaofei was fine.
To be honest, he was hungry too.
A jug of wine, a plate of meat, a piece of cake, whatever it is, he wants to have some.
And this celebration wine should be quite rich.
The banquet has been set up in the largest open space in the center of the village.Bonfires were also lit.
There is strong wine, there is meat grilled until the skin is golden, there are musicians playing the violin, and pretty girls and boys take turns singing and dancing.
The three good friends also sat down by the campfire.
People kept coming to toast them, and the villagers in Baihu Village were quite hospitable.
Lu Zhifeng, who was so surrounded by everyone, came to look for them.
He also made an extra toast to Rong Han.
"This glass of wine, thank you for taking care of me in the past. If you want to, I will do it first as a respect."
He brought the glass to his lips, raised his head, and drank it all in one gulp.
Rong Han also drank the wine in his glass silently.
After Lu Zhifeng left, he sat down again, but there was still a thick mist in his eyes.
He seemed to have noticed something, and felt a little uneasy, Xu Xiaofei also saw it.
What did Lu Zhifeng mean in front of the stone statue?
He felt that Rong Han should be informed, but telling him might only increase his troubles.
Xu Xiaofei swept his eyes and saw the boy from Baihuzhai who led them home, and he had another idea in his heart.
He got up and walked over to the boy.
The boy's happy mother was sitting beside him, Xu Xiaofei smiled and nodded towards her, leaned into the boy's ear, whispered a few words to him, and the two left the open area where the banquet was set up.
Xu Xiaofei kept taking him to a remote and uninhabited corner.
"Brother Xu, what's the important thing you want to tell me?" the boy asked curiously.
Xu Xiaofei said: "I still want to ask you, are you hiding something from us? Lu Zhifeng can be said to be the number one warrior in your Baihu Village. What will happen to him?"
The young man was taken aback, and hurriedly waved his hands: "What will happen... We have always respected the warriors of our clan."
But when Xu Xiaofei saw his reaction, he knew that he was not telling the truth.
"Don't lie to me, I know, he will go to a far away place, and no one will see him again, right?"
The boy opened his mouth, as if stunned.
"You... how do you know?"
"Sure?"
Seeing that his lies were exposed, the young man had no choice but to say honestly: "Brother Xu, it's not that I don't believe you, but this matter cannot be told to people outside the village. Since you don't know why, and you know so much, I Just tell you, don't tell outsiders."
"Well, don't worry, just say it!"
Xu Xiaofei also made an oath.
The young man said: "Actually... every time the first warrior is selected, a ceremony will be held, and the warrior will drink the blood of the white tiger, eat the meat of the white tiger, and make a cloak from the skin of the white tiger... because the body is immortal The blood of the immortal gods flows in the body of the white tiger, and it has the godhead of the ancient times. After performing the ceremony, the warriors can obtain its power and quickly improve their realm... Then, they soar overnight. The ancestors who have already become gods have sensed it and will come to welcome it his."
He said with a bitter face: "You must not tell outsiders this secret! Let outsiders know the secret of the white tiger, and the next time the white tiger appears, it will not be the turn of my clan."
"So that's how it is... This method of ascension to immortality is very simple and convenient. If outsiders find out, I don't know how many people will have their heads cut off."
Soaring up so easily, I am afraid that he is not a decent fairy, is he?Not relying on one's own strength, but seizing the power of spirit beasts. There are many precedents for this kind of thing, but most of the immortals who become immortals are heretic evil gods...
Of course, Xu Xiaofei only dared to think about this kind of thing in his heart, but he didn't dare to say it in front of the young man.
It seems that Lu Zhilin ascended to the ascension more than 40 years ago, and has never been seen since then. If Lu Zhifeng wants to catch up with him, he has no choice but to try his best to become the "first warrior".
It's not bad that he got what he wanted.
"Okay, don't worry, I've sworn that I'll never say anything!" Xu Xiaofei patted the young man's shoulder and said with a smile, "As for myself, I never thought of getting promoted by this method. Immortal. This is your opportunity in Baihuzhai, and it may not be suitable for me. If the master and senior brother know that I don’t practice well and just dream of the pie in the sky, don’t break my legs.”
"Brother Xu's master and elder brother are very strict?" The boy blinked and asked.
"Cough... Actually, it's not harsh, it's good to me." Xu Xiaofei coughed, "It's just that sometimes I accidentally cause some troubles, and it's all for them to worry about."
It will be the Dao Discussion Conference soon, and I don't know how is the master's swordsmanship?
Guess he'll be fine!
Senior brother has always been reliable, much more reliable than himself.
It seems that Rong Han should still be informed about the matter that he inquired about.
Lu Zhifeng will disappear after tonight.Brother Rong's heart shouldn't be hanging there.
He knew Lu Zhifeng's whereabouts, and thinking about it... he would be happy for him.Even if he is unhappy, he will not worry about him.
Xu Xiaofei also sincerely told the young man about it, and after getting his consent, he released a bronze sparrow for summoning, flew to the banquet, and called Rong Han over.
Rong Han also swears the inner demon oath, and listens to the young man tell the story.
He was silent for a long time before he opened his mouth and said, "Really? No wonder I found something wrong with him today..."
Regardless of his own serious injuries, Lu Zhifeng reluctantly entered the battle by taking forbidden drugs. He couldn't agree with it, and couldn't understand it.
Thinking about it this way, everything worked out.
Rong Han still smelled of alcohol, obviously he had drunk a lot.
He smiled suddenly: "It turns out that the glass of wine he specially toasted me tonight is a farewell wine... There will be no next time, and there will be no next glass."
The young man seemed to have noticed something, and couldn't help saying: "Brother Feng is still having fun with everyone, why don't you go and talk to him again?"
"No," Rong Han shook his head, stunned for a moment, then shook his head again, "He has nothing else to say to me, and I... have nothing to say to him. It's useless to say anything. This matter We shouldn't let outsiders like us know, so I can't congratulate him, can I?"
It's useless to say anything, it's too late to say anything...
Back then, when he was a child and lost his way in the mountains, he was the one who sent him back to the Rong family.
When he was extremely hungry, Lu Zhifeng caught the fish from the river and grilled it with his own hands. He still remembers the taste to this day.
After all, it will become an irretrievable memory...
Back at the banquet, Rong Han was still drinking the dull wine in one sip.
But Xu Xiaofei knew that he was watching Lu Zhifeng quietly.
This is the last time.
Wei Xuanfeng still didn't understand why, so Xu Xiaofei didn't want him to ask more questions, so he pulled him, you have a drink and I have a drink, talking nonsense.
No matter how lively the banquet is, there will be times when it ends.
The bonfire went out, leaving only a pool of cold ashes.The dishes that had been swept away were also picked up.
Everyone sent their hero Lu Zhifeng to a hut outside the village.
This is where the ceremony should be held.
During the ceremony, it seems that no one else is allowed to disturb.Watching Lu Zhifeng enter the room, everyone left in twos and threes.
The young man who told Xu Xiaofei the truth also said to them eagerly: "Let's go! This is also the rule passed down by the ancestors. If you want to peep, you will be punished by heaven!"
The three had to leave.
Scourge?Xu Xiaofei didn't quite believe it.But he didn't want to make that boy difficult.
He turned back again, and glanced at the hut standing alone in the middle of the night.
Is Lu Zhifeng really going to ascend to immortality?
……
There is a large stone table in the room, the surface is smooth, and people can be seen.
Two bright red candles, one on the left and one on the right, were placed on both sides of the stone table, still burning faintly.
In the center is of course the huge body of the white tiger.
Lu Zhifeng pulled out the long knife at his waist, and the tip of the knife shone brightly.
Bloodletting, meat eating, and finally wearing half a piece of white tiger skin that was peeled off...
His hands, as he did all this, were steady and skilled.
He is not only an excellent swordsman, but also an excellent hunter. He has long been familiar with how to cook the hunted beasts.
Although the wound on his chest was still aching, he just regarded it as being bitten by a mosquito and didn't take it to heart at all.
This white tiger was really cunning, and manipulated a person to attack him in advance.
It's a pity that no one can stop what he is going to do.
The blood is very fishy, and the smell of raw meat is even stronger.When he wrapped the tiger skin around his body, the strong smell of blood kept pouring into his nose, making it almost difficult to breathe.
Lu Zhifeng didn't care either.
These mundane troubles will not leave traces in his heart at all.
big brother...
I will meet you soon!
He felt that the blood in his body seemed to be burning, and the spiritual power in the sea of air was also frantically swirling.
Gradually, the body is filled with power that I didn't even dare to imagine before.
Is he going to ascend?
He is merging with the power of this white tiger.
He is the white tiger, and the white tiger is...
this moment.
A sliver of consciousness remaining in the white tiger's dead flesh floated into his mind.
He could sense the intermittent thoughts of Baihu during his lifetime.
How is this possible... How is this possible? !
He suddenly lowered his head and looked at his blood-stained hands.
These hands, at some point, have quietly grown hair, and the nails have become sharp and long, and they have unexpectedly become a pair of tiger claws...
"what--"
He looked at the "hands" in disbelief.
Suddenly, there was a heart-piercing scream.
It turned out to be a hoax... It turned out that everything was a hoax!
There is nothing to ascend to immortality, and his beloved elder brother has never spent a day in the fairyland.
——Just tonight, he was killed by his own hands!
Moreover, he ate meat and drank blood.
Has anyone ever done... more unconscionable things to a loved one?
His consciousness gradually blurred.
He who fell into madness could also vaguely feel that there was a powerful spiritual consciousness eroding him.
It's not that he got the power of the white tiger, but that the white tiger got a fresh meat sacrifice.
The tiger skin on his back has grown together with his back.
"Give me your body."
A voice coaxed him in this way.
"I know you have resentment, but this is the fate of the people of Baihu Village. The power of the White Tiger is a burden and a heavy responsibility, and someone must pass it on."
"Otherwise, something terrible will happen."
"No... I absolutely don't accept it!"
Lu Zhifeng suddenly slapped himself on the chest.
He can't live anymore.
He also never wanted to let such a tragedy be re-enacted on his younger generations.
But his palm failed to be real.Because of that divine sense, he was forcibly stopped.
……
"So that's what happened. This vulgarity is really scary."
Above the sky, Shen Jinglan watched the scene below and said.
"Although it's terrible, none of the victims can speak out, because they all turned into white tigers." Lin Yan said.
"Why did their ancestors make such a rule?" Shen Jinglan looked at him.
He seemed certain that Lin Yan would know.
Lin Yan didn't answer directly, but said: "Master, keep reading and you'll know."
"boom"
The hut below collapsed suddenly, and a white shadow flew out of it.
Perhaps in the eyes of the villagers in Baihuzhai, it was Lu Zhifeng's ascension vision.
Shen Jinglan saw him clearly at a glance.
Most of his body has turned into a tiger's body, and stripes have appeared on his face, but he still stubbornly retains his human appearance.
No one could bear to take another look at the look on his face.
"He should have completely turned into a white tiger, but he only changed half of it. It seems that something went wrong." Shen Jinglan said.
While talking, he looked at Lin Yan again.
Lin Yan said: "Does the leader think I did it again? It's not bad, I added some condiments to the pot of broth that was fed to the white tiger. The condiments are not harmful to the leader's body."
Shen Jinglan smiled and said: "Even if
