At the end of the Sui Dynasty

Chapter 718 Strange Tiger
Although monkeys hold grudges, they are actually masters who bully the weak and fear the strong. As long as one is severely injured, the others will be afraid. The reason why the monkeys on Mount Emei are notorious in later generations is that people are used to it, so Gao Bufan knocked them out with one punch. After a few teeth from the monkey king, the rest of the apes immediately ran away with their tails between their legs in fright.

To teach a monkey a lesson with extraordinary martial arts is somewhat incompetent, and there is nothing to brag about. The two continued to walk behind the cliff.Many trees grew behind the cliff, and the slope was relatively gentle. Gao Bufan and A Qing climbed the miscellaneous trees and searched down, picking wild fruits and collecting dry firewood at the same time.

This time Gao Bufan has acquired a lot of knowledge, and he is also lucky to bring A Qing. After all, he is a local snake. A Qing has found out many ingredients that Gao Bufan has never heard of, and the most common ones are all kinds of mushrooms.

Wild mushrooms are notoriously delicious, but they are also quite dangerous, because most of them are poisonous. If Gao Bufan himself, he would never dare to touch them, but it doesn't matter if Aqing is around.

Let's talk about Gao Bufan and A Qing who searched and advanced, and unknowingly descended from the back of the cliff and came to a valley.The place is full of miscellaneous trees and grass, and there was a faint sound of water, which should be a stream, so the two followed the sound of water to find it, and they found a pool.

This pool is neither big nor deep, and it is crystal clear, and there are countless Yuyuquan stones.Ah Qing couldn't help but said happily: "It's great that there are fish here, Brother Gao, let's make a pot of fresh fish soup with mushrooms (mushrooms) here."

Gao Bufan couldn't agree more. After being hungry for a day and a night, the wild fruits he ate just now can only fill his stomach, so when he thinks of the delicious mushroom fish soup at this time, he can't help but salivate.

No pot?This was not a problem for Ah Qing, he quickly found a very wide and fat leaf, rolled it up and made it into a pot, the paper pot can boil water, and the leaf pot can naturally.Of course, Ah Qing didn't know the principle, it was just a wild survival skill passed down from generation to generation by their ancestors.

no fire?This Gao Bufan was very good at it, he made some rotten flocculent dry sawdust, and then used the ancient method of drilling wood to make fire, and made the fire out with one operation.Next, the two washed the wild mushrooms, grabbed a fish from the pool, cleaned it, and then cooked it.

After the fireworks rose, the group of monkeys wandering in the nearby trees suddenly ran away in fright.A Qing frowned and said: "The monkey king may not be dead, he probably planned to take revenge on us, but he ran away in fright when he saw the fire."

Gao Bufan said with a smile: "Don't worry about them, let's talk when we are full."

The water boiled quickly, Ah Qing threw a few unknown leaves into the pot, saying that it could remove the fishy smell, and put a stone in it, saying that this thing could make the fish soup salty, Gao Bufan expressed doubts .

About half an hour later, the fish soup was cooked, it was white, and it looked very appetizing, so the two shared it with spoons made of bamboo joints, but the fish soup still had a fishy smell. The effect is mediocre, and the fish soup does have a salty taste, but it also has a bit of bitterness.

Obviously, although the stone that Ah Qing put in the soup contained salt, it also contained a lot of other impurities, most of which were probably heavy metals, so he reminded: "In the future, eat less soup made of stones, it is not good for your health. "

Ah Qing grinned and said: "This stuff is bitter and astringent. If it is not necessary, who would eat it? It is just a temporary emergency. We Miao people are walking in the mountains, and sometimes we get lost. It is normal for us to be sleepy for ten days and a half months. You can’t do without some salt.”

"That's true." Gao Bufan nodded, thinking, it seems that these Miao people are excellent survivors in the wild, and they are good at mountain warfare like the Guangxi Liao people.

Although the taste of the fish soup was not satisfactory, the two of them were hungry for a day and a night, and they still ate them all as delicious food. A Qing burped, licked his lips and said, "Brother Gao, are you full? Do you want to cook it?" One pot?"

Just as Gao Bufan was about to answer, he suddenly felt a coolness rise from the back of his waist and went straight to his forehead. His hairs exploded instantly. He snatched the hatchet from Ah Qing's waist in a swish, then turned around and slashed out with the knife. , The light of the knife is like a horse practicing to break through the sky.

It's just that this knife cut through the air, or in other words, the attacker behind him hasn't made a move yet!
Gao Bufan looked at it intently, and was shocked slightly, while Ah Qing's complexion changed drastically, without a trace of blood, and he even couldn't stop shivering.

It turned out that on a rock a few feet away, there was a spotted tiger standing silently and colorlessly. No, this thing looks like a tiger, but it is a little different from a tiger. Its two pointed teeth are thick and long , like two daggers exposed outside the mouth, it looks a bit like a saber-toothed tiger.

Moreover, this thing is huge in size, probably weighing a thousand kilograms. Its black fur is black and yellow in the middle, and it is shiny. It just stands on the rocks like that, majestic and majestic, as if it is a master who looks down on the world. People shudder!

Gao Bufan's heart skipped a beat, his muscles tensed up uncontrollably, at this moment he actually felt an invisible pressure, and he had only felt this kind of pressure and power from his elder brother Qiubeard.

"What kind of tiger is this? Saber-toothed tiger? Just kidding, this prehistoric creature must have been extinct long ago, why did it appear in the Bashu area?" Gao Bufan wondered.

However, a thousand or hundreds of years ago, the earth's environment was far from being destroyed by humans. There are many untouched virgin forests everywhere. Tigers are still very common. It is not surprising that there are some species that have not been seen in later generations. The python killed by Heilongtan was probably a mutated species, and maybe this tiger was too.

Gao Bufan held his hatchet tightly and focused his attention on guard, not daring to take it lightly, this fierce tiger is not easy to provoke at first glance, for example, the black python in the Black Dragon Pool almost capsized his elder brother bearded man in the gutter.

This "saber-toothed tiger" did not launch an attack, but just stood on the rock and watched Gao Bufan and Gao Bufan quietly, as if to measure their strength.At this moment, Gao Bufan felt a strange feeling in his heart, this strange tiger seemed to have intelligence and was very clever.

The two of them confronted each other for half a stick of incense, and finally, the tiger let out a low growl, setting off a wave of air that rustled the surrounding grass.Gao Bufan's expression changed slightly, just when he thought the tiger was about to attack, the latter turned around and jumped off the rock, disappeared into the grass.

"Run away?" Gao Bufan frowned with thoughtful expression.

Ah Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said: "Brother Gao, get out of here quickly, we have met the Tiger God!"

"Tiger God?"

A Qing nodded with fear and said: "There are mountain gods in the mountains, and the tiger god is the mount of the mountain god. This tiger is so strong and has such long teeth. A Qing has never seen such a mighty tiger. It must be The mountain god's mount, this is the mountain god sent it to warn us to leave, if we don't leave, bad luck will befall us."

Gao Bufan naturally didn't believe in it, but the ancients believed in ghosts and gods, even the relatively advanced Han people, let alone the more backward Miao people. Respecting the world, ghosts and gods is their deep-seated cognition. Tell him that there is no such thing as a ghost in this world There are no ghosts and gods, maybe he will regard you as a heretic.

So Gao Bufan didn't say much, he nodded and turned to leave. The tiger was obviously very fierce, and he wasn't very sure that he could kill it. One more thing is worse than one less thing.
