Chapter 468 Liuhua Tiger
Liuhua Mountain is located along the Jishui River and is a well-known local mountain.

It is said that in the old Chu Dynasty, generals once stationed troops here. A group of arrogant and powerful generals guarded the barren mountains. It was inevitable that there was some resentment. This also directly caused the local people to suffer, and they were harassed and miserable for a time.

It was at this time that a wandering alchemist came here.

"How can you treat people like this! What's the difference between such behavior and animals!"

The alchemist who entered the camp alone scolded the arrogant and powerful generals, intending to avenge the local people.

The answer given by the proud soldiers is swords, spears, swords and halberds.

The alchemist was executed on the spot. The old Chu soldiers who respected strength could not speak any truth - or in other words, they only knew one truth.

Whoever's sword is sharper, whoever's gun is sharper, whoever is more ferocious, whoever is stronger is the right one.

"Then, that night, the Liuhua Mountain collapsed, and all the soldiers were buried in the mountain."

At the foot of Liuhua Mountain, an old man was telling his grandson.

The Yin soldiers gave a variety of answers, which sounded like rumors among the people along the Jishui River - some said that Jishui Hebo was beaten to death, while others said that Jishui Hebo swallowed the iron man and choked to death. Some people even say that Jishui Hebo received retribution and was killed by a stream of light flying from the sky.

When he first heard the news from his Yin soldiers, Liuhuashan Jun was still a little confused. You must know that although Jishui Hebo was considered a defeat for him, he could escape from his hands. It has been shown that Jishui Hebo has some abilities - but such a number one person actually died quietly?

The Jishui coast where the altar was once built has now turned into a large construction site, and the local people are busy working on it.

"If it doesn't work, just send some more evil soldiers out... huh? What do you say?"

The young grandson was still a little confused. He didn't quite understand what was being said, but he still followed his grandfather and bowed to the tiger's shrine in front of him.

But the young child could no longer hear this. The kneeling just now had exhausted the child's remaining strength - which also made the old man's prayers become more pious. He only hoped that his little grandson would not He died of typhoid fever.

"what is going on?"

Even this hope seems so far away.

The old man touched his little grandson's hot forehead.

After that, he will appear as a savior, repel the flooding of the river, and restore peace to the local people.

"It's not solved yet, but it will be soon."

"Yes, it will be fine."

"Tiger...?"

Liuhuashanjun, who had just summoned the Yin soldiers, suddenly frowned.

"So, what's going on?"

The various answers were too confusing, so Liuhuashan Jun finally decided to send a Yin soldier over to take a look.

“What a spectacle!”

"Then Jishui Hebo is actually dead?"

Since the local people want him to protect one side, then he will definitely protect one side. Of course, many times there are not so many difficulties and obstacles, but what's the problem with this?

And this also gave the man in blue a chance to collect information.

"He Bo is dead?"

Just pray for its blessing and everything will be fine?

But the tiger far away in Liuhua Mountain will not respond to them.

He will find enough difficulties and obstacles, and he will be able to save these people.

It is precisely because life in the Liuhua Mountain area is so miserable that people have become more and more devout in their belief in the Liuhua Mountain Lord.

But bye bye, the words "good weather and good weather" in the Liuhuashan area have nothing to do with it. The Jishui River often floods, and the Liuhuashan area also suffers from disasters. Occasionally, the Jishui River stops flooding, and severe drought comes again. Even if there is no flood or drought, there will still be heavy rainstorms from time to time, and if you are unlucky, even hail will fall.

That is the shrine of Liuhuashanjun, the god who blesses the local area with good weather.

Just as the saying goes, don't hit the smiling person. Seeing that the man in green shirt, an outsider, was actually praising their project, the local people were happy to give each other a bowl of water. Even if they could hear a few more auspicious words, it would be a good thing.

Liuhuashanjun continued to ask.

"Anyway, He Bo is dead. No one will interfere with our water conservancy projects anymore. As long as these are repaired, we will..."

A Jishui Town citizen smiled.

"I haven't been here for a while. Has the flood problem here been solved?"

The man in green shirt started praising him on the spot.

Naturally, his behavior was a bit over the line, but after all, Jishui was the territory of his former defeated enemy, and he didn't care that the other party would cause trouble for him - so that morning, a man in blue shirt of unknown origin came to Jishui Town superior.

Just because he received bad news.

The young grandson looked at the figure in the shrine in confusion.

The man in green shirt showed just the right amount of shock.

"It will be fine."

After all, as the tiger of Liuhua Mountain, the man in the tiger skin cloak still has more important things to do, such as planning a few more disasters so that the local people suffer more, or simply let the Jishui River If Bo comes over again, there will be two more floods - after all, it is easy to guess the thoughts of this defeated general. As long as he shows a little weakness here, Jishui He Bo will definitely fish over the boundary.

Or in other words, too lazy to respond to them.

After all, in this desperate world, a local tiger who once rescued can at least give everyone some hope.

"How is this possible? No, I mean, who can do such a powerful thing?"

"Of course it's Taibai Xing who risked his life in the river!"

Another commoner raised his hand and pointed to a shrine not far away.

The shrine is not big, and the iron man statue enshrined in it is less than a foot high. Even the face is blurry, and it is obviously hastily made.

But in front of such a scrawled statue, there are tribute fruits and incense candles.

Although they were just some bargains, the quantity and the pure quality of the incense made the man in green shirts feel frightened.

"This is……"

The man in green shirt couldn't help but secretly clenched his fists.

"Did you pick the tiger's fruit?"

Yes, this is the real reason why Jishui Hebo was able to escape. Indeed, Jishui Hebo has some abilities, but if Liuhuashan Jun really wants to kill someone, Jishui Hebo will definitely do it. He couldn't survive - the reason why Jishui Hebo was able to escape, to put it bluntly, was because Liuhuashan Monarch deliberately let him go.

Let the Jishui Hebo cause trouble for a while, and when the local people can't bear it anymore, the Liuhua Mountain Monarch who comes to rescue the distressed people will come and kill the evil Hebo, thereby taking the Jishui coast into his pocket and enjoying the incense.

So how could Jishui Hebo be killed by others?
"The person who came here is not good..."

At this moment, the man in green shirt was ready to explain everything here to Lord Liuhuashan when he returned.

But on the outside, he still had a kind smile on his face, and he looked as gentle as jade in a green shirt. This also made the people of Jishui Town treat him more kindly. After all, this appearance was too deceiving.

"So this water conservancy project was also what Taibai Star asked you to do?"

While these mortals wanted to show off, the man in green shirt continued to ask.

"Did he lead you to do this?"

"Taibai Xing specially entrusted the dream to us!"

Speaking of this, many people suddenly looked proud.

"Taibai Xing has already taken us to do it once in my dream! Look, here is the diversion canal. Even if the river water rises again, it can be diverted away, and there is also the dam over there..."

"what?"

The man in green shirt was stunned for a moment.

Aqueducts and dams? Where? Why didn't he see it?
"Isn't it still covered?"

The people smiled and waved their hands.

"How can things in dreams be taken seriously!"

"Yeah, what happened in the dream..."

The man in green shirt also laughed.

But immediately, he couldn't laugh anymore.

These mortals may not be able to see it, but he can see that the aqueduct pointed out by these mortals clearly did exist - but after the aqueduct was built, it was damaged by something. The damage was so great It was so sophisticated that these people didn't notice it at all.

And that dam...

"The dam has indeed been built."

Walking all the way to the Jishui River, the man in green shirt had already sensed the remains of the dam hidden under the water.

Even though the wreckage had been broken into pieces and mixed with the mud at the bottom of the river, he could still feel the residual heat brought about by the burning fire.

The dam and aqueduct were obviously repaired, but they were smashed and started all over again?
"Beast..."

No matter how well the man in green shirt disguised himself, he couldn't help but curse at this moment.

On the one hand, the behavior itself is too animalistic. Smashing the repaired thing and doing it again does not seem like something that a person with a normal mind would do.

As for the other side…

Even if this dog breed robbed the incense and power along the Jishui River, he even planned to let these mortals have the power to fight against natural disasters - destroying the dams and aqueducts that had been built, just to allow these mortals to do it again. Do it again?

"Is this beast crazy?"

The expression of the man in green shirt gradually became distorted.

If these mortals really have the confidence to fight against natural disasters, then who can immortals like Liuhua Mountain Lord be able to save? Who else would contribute incense and willpower to these gods and gods?

Although the man in green shirt couldn't figure out why the dog named Taibai Xing did this, no matter how much he thought about it, this beast-like behavior was undoubtedly poking at the roots of their Liuhua Mountain!
"What a beast! Wait for me!"

Thinking of this, the man in green shirt didn't bother to cover it up anymore. A stream of misty green smoke escaped from the man's mouth, but it instantly changed and drifted into the distance with the wind.

But after the green smoke went away, the man in green shirt himself fell straight into the river like a stiff piece of wood.

"Hurry up and save people!"

The busy people were shocked and jumped into the water to save people.

Fortunately, the water flow was calm now, and most of the people who came to rescue people were good at water. A group of people jumped into the water and pulled each other, but they quickly lifted the man in green shirt who had fallen into the river to the shore.

However, it was at this time that they discovered that the person they were carrying was not a living person.

This is clearly a stiff corpse, and there are even corpse spots on the body.

So what on earth were they talking to?
"Ghost ah ah ah ah!!!"

I don't know who screamed first, and then more and more people fell into panic - meeting a ghost in broad daylight was too scary. You must know that many of them had just talked to the man in green shirt. God knows how...

"Don't panic! Calm down!"

Seeing that the scene was about to become chaotic, someone simply ran to the shrine and lifted up the iron man statue that was less than a foot tall.

"Taibai Star is here! What are you afraid of!"

Perhaps it was because of the large number of people, or perhaps because the statue really had some kind of magical power to calm people's hearts. After seeing the iron man statue, the people actually gradually became quiet.

That's right, when Taibai Star was angry, He Bo killed him as soon as he said so. He was just a ghost, so what did it mean?
"Maybe this ghost was suppressed to death by Taibai Star!"

After a while, everyone came to the conclusion that this ghost was suppressed to death by Taibai Star, otherwise it would have started harming people long ago.

With people's hearts at peace, the project continued. However, during the break, many people who were not so courageous asked people to build some smaller Iron Man statues, or carried them in their arms. Or hang it directly around your neck as an amulet for peace.

"Master Taibai Xing, please stay safe."

Whenever they think of the green-shirted ghost and feel fear in their hearts, they will take out this amulet and whisper a few words.

"Master Taibai Xing slays demons and demons."

"No, what did I do again?"

Feeling this new pure willpower wrapping around his upper body, Du Chengfeng, who was grinding stones in Datang Mountain, sneezed again.

"No, I can be blamed for the haunting at the construction site? So why is it haunted?"

Du Chengfeng was quite confused. Although he had lived in this world for a long time, he had never seen such things as ghosts - so he planned to go over and have a look after finishing his work for a while. He also I'm curious as to what this haunting is all about.

As for the name Taibai Star, Du Chengfeng has already messed up. God knows why, no matter it is Sanshan Town or Jishui Town, everyone likes to use this title as his nickname.

The nicknames are all given by others, and if others are willing to use them, what can he do?
"At least it's better than nicknames like Jibei Tiger, Yanzhou People's Massacre, Horses Trampling the Golden Palace, Regicide, etc."

Thinking like this, Du Chengfeng continued to work. If he finished work early, he could rest early.

However, at this time, the wisp of green smoke floating out from Jishui Town had returned to Liuhua Mountain.

"You mean, he's going to poke our roots?"

The man wearing a tiger-skin cloak inhaled the wisp of smoke into his mouth and nose, and immediately frowned.

"Taibai Star appeared suddenly. You really dare to use such a big name... It's good."

The man pulled out a generous sword from his tiger-skin cloak.

"Since you plan to poke our roots, I will poke yours first."
