Chapter 83 Witnessing a miracle (Part 1)
I made this judgment in one glance because I was connected to Silly Tiger’s soul. Silly Tiger was continuously moaning in grief, and I wanted to pat Silly Tiger on the back, but sadly discovered that Silly Tiger was only a spirit, and I couldn’t give it such comfort.
I gently brushed away the snowflakes, and finally the body of Shahu was completely revealed. I subconsciously looked at the tiger’s claws and found that the left paw was missing one of the claws that should have been the longest.
Does Silly Tiger also have a remnant soul here? I thought to myself, but then I noticed faint traces of words under the snow. I quickly looked, and sure enough, next to Silly Tiger’s body, there were several rows of small upright characters.
The characters were written in a way that was not difficult to understand for someone like me who often reads ancient Taoist texts.
It probably meant that Shahu often went down the mountain to harm the neighbors, and had already killed over a hundred people. It was suspected that it had become addicted to human flesh, but it was also a great demon. If it was not removed, more lives would be lost at its hands. So a battle was fought with Shahu in the deep forest, and Shahu was finally subdued. At the moment when the tiger was dying, it suddenly sensed that the tiger had deliberately killed too many people, and that the heavens would most likely punish the great demon and scatter its soul. At that time, the person who cut off the tiger thought of the secret method he had learned, and at the same time felt that it was not easy for demons to practice, so he might give it a chance to live.
The last sentence says that this act goes against the will of heaven, and for this reason, he can also feel that he will be robbed and his life will be shortened, but he does not regret it. He realizes that what he has done today will be able to vaguely create a good relationship for his disciples and descendants in the future.
The text ends here, and the signature is Li Yiguang, which is a name expressed in a special symbol. However, we in the Li family are all too familiar with it. This is the secret of the Li family. The master would write his name in a special symbol.
So that’s it. In fact, the first time I saw the handwriting, the familiar handwriting made me know it was the master. However, I wasn’t too surprised, because I knew since I was a child that the tiger claw on my body came from a tiger demon that the master had destroyed.
So, after reading the words, I also knew why the remaining soul of Silly Tiger was much weaker than the remaining souls of the other great demons. With my spiritual awareness so strong, and after nurturing it for so many years, it still felt so silly. It turned out that it was the remnant soul that the Grandmaster had snatched from the hands of the heavens with his great spiritual power, rather than a remnant soul that had remained on its own. Naturally, it was a little less agile.
This also explains one thing: the corpse of Silly Tiger is an empty corpse, and there is no residual soul reserved. It is not easy for it to retain a trace of residual soul in the tiger’s claw!
In the end, my master was a true prophet. His actions really brought me and Silly Tiger together. My master probably sensed the weak tiger spirit in the tiger claw and used the weak tiger’s evil spirit to ward off evil spirits for me. It was a coincidence. Unfortunately, my master didn’t know the significance of the tiger claw because my master left in such a hurry.
When I think about the past, it is too complicated. In short, it is my fate with Silly Tiger, and it is something that I cannot escape.
I didn’t hide anything from Silly Tiger. I tried to communicate with it as much as possible about everything written in the text. There was no reason for me to hide it from my symbiotic soul, even if my master killed it.
Sihu has a limited understanding, and I had to express myself very laboriously to it. But with the advantage of being a symbiotic soul, it at least understood the text. Then a wave of anger passed on to me. I wasn’t worried that Sihu would hold a grudge against my master. After all, the real demon tiger was no longer there. It was just a remnant of the demon soul. Its memories and emotions were connected to me. The anger Sihu expressed to me was, “Are you kidding me? A man-eating tiger would be me? No, I absolutely don’t believe it. I’m a good tiger.
I looked at Silly Tiger with a reproachful expression, as if to say, “Do I look like I would lie to you?” Didn’t you get into this situation because you were greedy and didn’t care about the punishment of heaven? Don’t say it wasn’t you. Just look at you, and you know it was you who did it!
In response to my response, Silly Tiger roared at me in anger, but I looked at Silly Tiger and whispered, “Brother, I will take good care of you. As long as I, Chen Chengyi, am here, you will become more and more complete until one day you truly find yourself.”
When the tiger heard this, it suddenly stopped growling and instead, it whimpered at me with emotion. It wanted to rub its big head against mine, but it was only a spirit, so in the end, I noticed that the tiger looked at the stone platform and the corpse with a hint of melancholy, but it was only for a moment, and it no longer lingered, instead choosing to return to my soul.
I knelt down and patted the tiger corpse lying on the stone platform, and whispered, “Good brother.” It was only then that I realized that looking out from this angle, I was actually looking at the same scenery as the mural in the young fox’s cave. The vast mountain scenery was exactly the same. It turned out that the “peak” platform expressed in the mural was here. Silly Tiger used to love to lie here, and the young fox had also been here…
Unfortunately, now the tender fox is sleeping in the transverse bone, otherwise what would it feel? As soon as this thought came to mind, I broke into a cold sweat. I thought about the three guys’ unreliability. Can I expect them to have any feelings?
At this moment, the voice of Chengxin came: “Chengyi, are you ready? Wu Laogui said that it’s almost time. We have to hurry to the Immortal’s Tomb.”
I replied, jumped off the stone platform, and saw Wu Laogui excitedly say to me, “Chengyi, in another hour, we will really be able to reach the Immortal Tomb. You have to think of a way to get there, with so many people around.
Time is almost up. How should I understand this sentence? As for the solution, I had already thought of it long ago. It is nothing more than a bachelor playing the bad guy to the end. Everything will be decided at the Immortal Tomb. I said to Wu Laogui, “Don’t worry, there is a solution, but what is the meaning of time is almost up? Tell me.”
When the old ghost heard that I had a solution, he was relieved and said to me, “I can’t explain it clearly either. It’s about to start. Let’s go to the cave together and we’ll be able to see the immortal’s path clearly.”
The road of immortals? Interesting! I increasingly feel that everything about this immortal tomb is very interesting. From a certain perspective, it almost shows the power of mythology. It’s not bad to be able to witness it in person today.
At the moment, I didn’t hesitate, walking in front of everyone and heading towards the cave. Even Ruoxue was curious this time, after all, Renhua didn’t have this memory in her mind, and she also wanted to know what the Immortal Road was all about.
As I approached the cave entrance, I shivered. It was cold, really cold, colder than the day I went into the water to retrieve the soul.
When I first entered the cave, I heard the north wind howling. When I came out of the cave at this time, the wind almost turned into a roar, and it was deafening!
“Chengyi, why do they say it only happens once every few hundred years? It’s because that mountain, it only shows half of its true face from the mist every few hundred years. The rest of the time, you can only see the river below, you can’t see the mountain.” In the roar of the wind, Wu Laogui shouted at the top of his lungs.
I stared at the mountain peak and, upon hearing Wu Laogui’s explanation, my eyes widened. The legendary “blinding array”!! Since ancient times, there have been very few Taoist priests who have successfully used it!
Most of the barrier formations that are passed down now only use the terrain, the visual differences of people, and even the psychological loopholes of people to set them up. I never thought that there was a real barrier formation in front of me. This is a real miracle.
“It’s so cold,” said Chengxin, raising his voice.
In response to Chengxin’s shout, Wu Laogui said, “What’s so cold about this? This is just the beginning.”
As soon as Wu Lao Gui finished speaking, the temperature suddenly dropped a few more degrees. Then Wu Lao Gui shouted, “Look at the river, look at the river below!”
We quickly followed his instructions and began to stare at that section of the river, that section of the river with its fast-flowing water that was so daunting that it was actually slowing down at that moment!
It was because it started to freeze! The strange thing was that the river was slowly freezing from both sides toward the middle!
