in the edge

Chapter 475 The Death of the Tiger
Before a stick of incense, along the Jishui River.

"So if you walk a little further ashore from here, you will reach Liuhua Mountain, right?"

Zhao Laoer, who was managing the boat, looked around, as if he was asking the people around him, but also as if he was asking and answering himself.

After all, Zhao Laoer had never actually traveled far, and it was rare for him to leave. He even dragged his family over, which inevitably made him feel a little flustered.

Especially after remembering what happened to him, Zhao Laoer became even more flustered.

"Why are you panicking? That's Taibai Xing's intention!"

In another boat next to him, Zhang Laowu, who was also steering the boat, shook his head repeatedly.

"As long as you go to Liuhua Mountain, everything will be fine... No, what do you mean by that look in your eyes? Did Taibai Star say you can't go back?"

"Ah this."

Zhao Laoer choked on the spot.

"Are everything ready?"

Yes, not only the locals of Liuhuashan knew about the disaster in Liuhuashan, but even those in Jishui Town had heard about it - so Zhang Laowu actually didn't quite understand that these locals suddenly ran away. Why did you come out and look so guarded? What are you doing? What do you think they are?
Are they going to grab a place where it rains every now and then and earthquakes happen every three days?

Facing Zhang Laowu's excuse, these Liuhuashan natives didn't know what to say.

Zhang Laowu stood up and looked at the local people up and down.

Therefore, this matter cannot be messed up.

"You guys..."

Never allow it! The Liuhuashan people have lived here for generations! They will never allow these outsiders to come and seize their...

"It's all because the Taibai Star is here..."

In the past, everyone knew that the Jishui River was unpredictable and would flood at every turn. Therefore, few people dared to really use this waterway. However, now the Jishui River has calmed down and everyone can enjoy it. The benefits of this waterway.

They wanted to say something to refute, after all, this is the place where their ancestors have lived for generations, the place where they were born and raised, this is their hometown - as the old saying goes, a son does not think his mother is ugly, and a dog does not think his family is poor. No matter how bad this place is, it is still their home.

In fact, the effect of Jishui's governance has not yet been truly reflected. After all, whether it is the construction of water conservancy facilities or field irrigation, this will take some time. However, after Jishui returned to peace, one thing was immediate - that is, Jishui's actions A waterway can finally play some role.

While chewing fried soybeans, Zhang Laowu took out a small iron man from his neck and held it in his hand, rubbing it from time to time.

But that's where the problem lies. These outsiders are really right.

"What are you here for! There are so many of you, what are you going to do!"

Just when the crowd was about to approach Liuhua Mountain, commotion broke out in the villages and towns at the foot of Liuhua Mountain. People with sallow faces and thin muscles picked up wooden sticks, hoes, and even anything they could use as weapons to block the group of people from Jishui Town. On the road.

As for time...

"I'll just be quiet for a while."

It's just that they don't want to admit it yet. After all, this is their hometown. They have been here for so long, so how can they say this place is not good?
"This place is really not very good. I heard in Jishui Town that there are disasters here every year. I'm afraid there is something wrong with the feng shui."

But Zhao Laoer still felt a little flustered, as if something happened that he didn't know about. Although others seemed unaware of it, the feeling in his heart was still...

Maybe it's because life is getting better.

This Liuhua Mountain area is really not good.

Although due to time constraints, Zhang Laowu only took a trip on a boat, but this generous income has made him no longer poor, and he can even have some snacks as a pastime in his free time.

It was all because of the arrival of the Taibai Star that they had such a good life now.

"We came here to see Liuhua Mountain. After all, this is the nearest mountain."

Why not move out? The local people in Liuhua Mountain have thought about moving away, but once they move away, they will lose their land. Going to a foreign country means that they will definitely be bullied - not to mention that they can't stay in Liuhua Mountain. And the Liuhua Mountain Lord who rescued those in distress...

After all, there will be dangers here in Jishui Town no matter what, so conversely, the most dangerous places are often the safest places. According to the principle of darkness under the lamp, as long as the people of Jishui Town are allowed to run to Liuhua Mountain, they will definitely Can survive.

If Zhao Laoer could see Jishui Town at this moment, he would know that his feeling was actually right. When he came to Liuhua Mountain, it was actually the Taibai Star, or Du Chengfeng, for the people of Jishui Town. Find a way to survive.

Zhang Laowu grabbed a handful of fried soybeans and stuffed them into his mouth. He didn't know why, but he suddenly started to like eating this kind of snack recently.

"What are you here for!"

Especially the people in Jishui Town. Compared with other people upstream and downstream, they are the first people to know that Jishui is peaceful, and they are also the first people to taste the benefits.

Zhang Laowu thought so.

Du Chengfeng was very confident that this battle would not drag on until night.

"So why don't you move out? Why are you suffering like this here?"

Zhang Laowu shook his head repeatedly and sighed.

Saying this, Zhao Laoer stopped talking and continued to operate the boat.

It seems that he really didn’t say it, or in other words, what Taibai Xing told them was actually very clear - go out in the morning, come back at night, and just go to Liuhua Mountain as a whole town to visit, although they don’t know who Taibai Xing is. What was the intention, but out of trust during this period, everyone still followed it.

Yes, such a large group of people came here, even if it is just a few common people, it is still a huge number. If these outsiders have any evil intentions and want to take over the land here...

Just because some of the Jishui people who went to Liuhua Mountain needed to do other things.

"Don't worry, we'll go back in the evening and won't stay here too long... After all, I'm also worried about causing trouble here."

In the past, they spent most of their time struggling to survive, and surviving had used up all their energy, so it was difficult for them to have time and brains to think about other things - but now after this outsider said, Coupled with the other party's eyes that clearly showed disgust, no matter how slow these people in Liuhua Mountain were, they were already vaguely aware of something at this moment.

Anyway, the two sides are not too far apart. If you take a boat along Jishui, you will be there soon. Du Chengfeng will drag Liuhuashan Jun here, so there will be no safety issues.

"Rescue the distressed?"

Hearing that these Liuhua Mountain locals even carried out gods, Zhang Laowu immediately started scratching his head.

"Well, I'm not saying that your god is not good, but I really have a question to ask."

Saying this, Zhang Laowu pointed to the ground under his feet.

"If your gods are so clever, then why do you still suffer disasters every year?"

"This……"

The local people in Liuhua Mountain were stunned.

They never thought about it.

All along, they only know that every time they are hit by a disaster, the Liuhua Mountain Lord will save them. As long as they chant the name of the Liuhua Mountain Lord and praise the power of the Liuhua Mountain Lord, they can avert danger when natural disasters come. ——So this Liuhuashan Monarch must be efficacious and there must be no problems. After all, they have been saved every time.

But now think about it...

If the Liuhua Mountain Monarch is really that efficacious, if the Liuhua Mountain Monarch is really that powerful, then why not simply prevent all natural disasters from happening again?
Could it be said that even Liuhuashanjun can't do it?
The omnipotent Liuhua Mountain King actually has things he can't do?

"Hiss..." Many locals in Liuhua Mountain began to gasp. It was obvious that this incident was a bit difficult for them to accept.

It was at this time that Zhang Laowu spoke again.

"It seems that your gods don't care about this. Why don't you try worshiping us?"

Saying this, Zhang Laowu took out the little iron man he carried with him.

"This is Taibai Star. It just helped us solve the flood in Jishui. Originally, Jishui was plagued by disasters just like Liuhua Mountain. It was only after Taibai Star came that things became peaceful..."

"What the hell are you!"

Before Zhang Laowu could finish speaking, the locals from Liuhua Mountain started laughing.

"It's just such a bald piece of iron, without even a face. How can such a thing be the Taibai Star? Did you let someone deceive you?"

"what?"

Zhang Laowu was stunned, but for a moment he didn't understand what the fuss was about.

But immediately, he understood why these Liuhua Mountain locals were laughing.

Just because these locals brought out their own idols.

It was a majestic statue that was seven feet high. It looked like a frail scholar, but the tiger-skin cloak on his body made the frail scholar look majestic. He looked down at the people from a high position, and he was not angry or intimidating. -The most important thing is that Zhang Laowu took a closer look and saw that the tiger skin cloak on the statue was actually made of real tiger skin.

Zhang Laowu had never seen such a luxurious statue. You must know that the priest He Bo in the town only put a water jar there.

But looking at it this way, it's no wonder that these Liuhua Mountain locals would sneer at Taibai Star. After all, compared with the tall and majestic statue, the iron man in his hand is really a bit unsightly.

Just look at the sallow faces of the local people in Liuhua Mountain, and compare it with the splendor of this statue. I'm afraid these people in Liuhua Mountain are all crazy. They have to offer a golden body to this so-called Lord of Liuhua Mountain even though they haven't had enough to eat. !

"So...do you want to do it forcefully?"

Zhang Laowu clenched his fists.

Originally, he thought that he might be able to do it by himself, but now it seems...

Maybe we can only do what Taibai Xing said.

"Actually, we brought some food here!"

Zhang Laowu shouted loudly.

"I know you're in a bad year here! So we specially brought food here! If you need it, come here and give us a pound of rice! You can also get eggs!"

"Really? Is there really an egg collar?"

As soon as I heard that there were eggs to be received, there was no one under the statue of Liuhua Mountain Lord. The local people from Liuhua Mountain gathered around with nervous expressions on their faces, just wanting to receive rice and eggs.

"thanks, thanks……"

"Don't thank us. If you want to thank us, just thank Taibai Xing."

Zhang Laowu once again took out the iron man.

And the people of Liuhua Mountain also saluted the little iron man.

"Thank you Taibai Xing."

"Thank you Taibai Xing."

"Thank you Taibai Star for your great kindness."

"Thank you Taibai Xing for saving the trouble..."

……

"It seems that the situation at Liuhua Mountain has been settled."

Du Chengfeng stretched out and let the incense coming from a distance flow around his body.

On the other hand, although the Liuhua Tiger has managed to piece itself back together, just looking at the broken face, one can feel that the Liuhua Tiger is getting weaker and weaker.

Weak physical strength, weak strength, weak breath, and the weakest thing, will.

The incense willpower that originally supported the firm will was constantly passing away, which made Liuhuashan Jun's state of mind become increasingly shaken.

"mean……"

Feeling the ebb and flow of the incense's wish power, Liuhuashan Jun's eyes widened in anger.

"Despicable! You actually stole my people!"

"What is stealing?"

Du Chengfeng was immediately unhappy.

"I just gave them a choice. Should I choose to continue to follow you, or should I choose eggs and rice? Besides, this kind of thing is not a big deal, right? After all, they will continue to follow you after receiving the rice..."

That's right. What Du Chengfeng said was even true. After all, just giving him some rice and eggs would not be able to shake Liuhuashan Jun's influence in the Liuhuashan area.

However, even if you can just buy a moment of time, it is enough.

Just because, in a life-and-death battle, any mistake will be infinitely magnified.

"Actually, when we cleared out the underworld soldiers you sent that day, I thought about why you didn't try to come to me directly. Instead, you wanted to attack the people in Jishui Town. This might be a good way to weaken me, but It may not really work. There must be some deeper reason why you did it when you first came up...I found out later."

Having said this, Du Chengfeng looked into Liuhua Tiger's eyes.

"This method may not be what I fear most, but it must be what you fear most."

Seeing that the incense and wish power on Liuhuashanjun was almost exhausted, Du Chengfeng raised his sword again.

"Any last words?"

"you……"

Liuhuashanjun, who could no longer stand up, tried his best to raise his head.

"you……"

"Forget it about swearing."

Zheng——

The heavy broadsword struck down his head, and his already broken head immediately shattered to the ground.

And this Liuhua Mountain King finally stopped getting up.
