Last night Wen Jin had a direct message telepathically from a mysterious voice "you should visit my temple if you had a chance!"
The message contained a very powerful celestial will! The sender was in par with the azure dragon Canglong in celestial power!
"I got to be the white tiger god! Baihu!" Sui Ling told Wen Jin.
"You heard that!?" Wen Jin.
"Do you forget dumb ass? All four of us are connected!" Dragon.
"Let's meet him, I'll find a way tomorrow to tell my father to visit the temple with some offerings!" Wen Jin.
"Suit yourself!" Dragon(Goldy).
"Fine by me!" Fish Water God(Sui Lang).
"Please don't make a problem there!" Water Dragon(Sui Ling).
At the next day Wen Jin persuade his father to visit the Baihu temple for safe passage and good results for their hunting trip. They bring an offering of a silver beard goat that they buy on a local farm, the goat was sacrificed in the temple of Baihu as an offerings! Suddenly while Wen Tjong and Wen Jin pray a "woosh!" of wind blows quite strong on that ridge on a small outdoor altar. Wen Jin consciousnesses was transferred into a seven floor pagoda this one is located in the top of the highest peak on the western mountain ridge. How do he know? Somehow the information filled Wen Jin's mind, one moment he was seeing the pagoda from outside then "blip!" he was teleported inside the pagoda on the highest level!
A giant white tiger with dreadful celestial aura was standing on the throne, while three half step deity just like the water dragon standing beside him a sky dog, a harpy and a flaming lion.
"Welcome to my domain!" Baihu.
"I am honored!" Wen Jin cupped his hand and bowed with a proper respect.
"I'll get to the point! I want you to add a tasked! I know the old blue dragon had told you to do his bidding, but i would like you to add one for me, not for free! I would rewards you!" Baihu.
"What is the tasked?" Wen Jin.
"Don't you want to asked me what was the rewards?" Baihu.
"No! I only value deeds, i do not dwells on the gains, it was a fool of me, but to take a tasked from celestial realm that means that i am helping the entire fate of human race!" Wen Jin.
"Good answer! But no this is not about all the human race, only the one on my domain! The trouble i am in was, i have three useless guards here!" Baihu referring to the three half step deity beside him.
"This three was defeated by a demon succubus near the hunting ground your father was going to take you, your quest was to handle the demon! Bring me her head! And you can choose one of this useless half step deity to be your personal guard! And if you do it fast enough that makes me happy, I'll add something else!" Baihu.
"Hmm i like to hear the involvement of human in this quest.." Wen Jin.
"There was several small tribe living in the mountains, they carried a thin bloodline of mine, the succubus had several minions of Jueyuan, this small monkey devils was rapist of the worst kind. Some of my descendants has became a target of these lustful beast, give them justice! My hands are tied since their nest was out side the dark land border i swore to protect!" Baihu frowned.
"I will accept and stop them tainting your bloodline!" Wen Jin.
"Since you can not asked the other three companion you are bound with, these three incapable servants of mine with go with you, if you succeed you could choose one of them to serve you!" Baihu.
The three servant change their shape, the flaming lion became a red fur color cat, the sky dog became a regular hunting dog and the harpy became a parrot with beautiful black lining blue feather color.
"Whoosh!" Suddenly Wen Jin open his eyes.
"Come on! Do not take too long, you can say fancy prayers went we finish! We would pass here again on our way back! Five minutes in a small shrine is a waste of time!" Wen Tjong.
Wen Jin surprised, the talk that he had with Baihu was more than five minutes, but it seems his encounter with Baihu has froze time. Wen Jin followed his father, he can felt three creature was following him a dog, a cat and a bird.
"What the heck are this three consciousness i am detecting sticking to you!" Goldy telepathic message.
"I got a personal mission from Baihu!" Wen Jin.
"What to form a circus? A dog, a cat and a bird?" Goldy.
"They are tasked to help me! None of your concern!" Wen Jin.
"Well well well what a cocky bastard! I don't even want to know what is it all about! Don't involved me on your business, are you selling personal whoring service to the old white? Hahahaha!" Goldy.
"!" Wen jin almost tripped when he heard it!
The trip ended several hours later, the expedition guide has found a small mountain village for rest "We would spent the night here!" Wen Tjong.
"Get some rest!" Wen Jin.
Wen Jin asked for a separate room, he made an excuse that he want no disturbance in meditating. The truth was the village was also one of the village that has been under the harassment of the Succubus demon and her little lustful devil monkeys!
"Sir! This is your tea.." a servant delivering tea into Wen Jin's room.
"Put it on the table! Tell me brother do you know about some mischief that was happening in this village?" Wen Jin.
"You are well informed sir, the main works on this village was hunting, about 75% of our locals was hunters, but lately now and then young women of our village has been violated and sometimes murdered! The expert hunters can not help track the perpetrator!" The servant eyes was red, he was a local and sad about what happened.
"Why are the hunter involve, do you mean the village officials, who is the suspected man?" Wen Jin.
"You see boss! All the victim said they were attacked and violated by an animal!" The servant looked around and whisper "i won't stay at the inn like this alone too, many drunker that want to had a good time with a hostess founded dead and dry in morning, it was a weird case. Don't bring a girl to your room sir, it could be dangerous!" The servant kindly warn Wen jin.
"Thank you brother, this is something for you!" Wen Jin tip him for the room service, the servant close the door.
"I did not get a chance please the three of you sit and have a tea!" Wen Jin.
The red fur cat became a burly man with red curly hair, the hunting dog became a tall man in armor, and the bird became a beautiful slender girl in blue. They all cupped their hand towards Wen Jin "Take a sit, do not stand on ceremony!" Wen Jin quickly instructed them to sit.
"I am Hongfa!" The red curly man.
"I am Tiangou!" The tall armor man.
"I am Jingwei!" The slender girl in blue.
"Have some tea!" Wen Jin poured tea for three of them.
"Dear seniors, please tell me about this case!" Wen Jin.
"Please call us by name, since you are highly regarded even by Baihu, we do not dare to be in the same level as you!" Hongfa sighing.
"Yes master Wen please do that! Otherwise we are to ashamed talking to you!" Tiangou.
The girl in blue was silence staring to the floor, actually they all looked at the floor in shame.
"Don't be uptight with me! Alright i called you by name, spare me the explanation later, just tell me about the case!" Wen Jin.
The three of them begin to told a story about a tree spirit that was living in a thousand years old willow tree not far from the village, at first the village folks was cutting the tree to clear land. When they found out that the spirit of the tree was a penghou, they killed it and feast upon the flesh. Later on people that eats the penghou became cursed with a conditions. They began to look a lot like monkeys, then the villager excommunicated them into the dark land! They became Jueyuan eventually and their lust for mortal things make them grow devil hearts within their cultivation, the Jueyuan was born. They can't cross over the barrier of Baihu, it was deadly to them, only the bloodline of the white tiger can cross over as they please. A couple years ago a succubus appeared on the border of jungle; The lust demon, she was scheming and provoking the jueyuan to defy Baihu while drill some kind of sick idea into their mind to produce offspring with a human women carrying the bloodline of Baihu, so their kin can operate freely without the barrier restrictions!
