"Tiger Spirit, I will swallow you," Arin declared, his anger palpable. This tiger was truly devoid of conscience, hateful beyond measure.1
It was bad enough that it ate people, but it also turned their souls into ghosts, preventing them from entering reincarnation and forcing them to serve it.1
"Flame!" Arin roared.1
The Tiger Spirit's tightly wrapped body burst into flames.1
Woo woo woo...!1
The Tiger Spirit wailed in pain.1
The snake was on fire, but it was the Tiger Spirit that burned.1
The Tiger Spirit kept roaring in pain and struggling desperately.1
But the more it struggled, the tighter and more suffocated it became.1
It watched its own body being burned and roasted.1
The pain was unbearable.1
Vitality drained quickly.1
And the ghosts leaning over Arin's snake body screamed fiercely.1
But there was a hint of relief in their screams.1Finally, in the billowing flames, they turned into bursts of thick smoke and dissipated.1Completely erased from this world.1
The Tiger Spirit had practiced Taoism for five hundred years, and its vitality was vigorous, so it was not easy to die.1It was scorched by the flames on Arin's body for more than ten minutes.1
Until the smell of cooked meat filled the mountains and forests, making people's index fingers twitch.1
The Tiger Spirit that had practiced for five hundred years was roasted by Arin in this way.1
It withdrew from the historical stage of this mountain.
A bloody mouth opened wide, swallowing the ripe Tiger Spirit bit by bit.1
Until it was completely swallowed.1
After swallowing the Tiger Spirit, Arin's anger subsided.1
At this time...!1
"A life memory from the Tiger Spirit, do you want to check it?"1
In Arin's mind, there was an abrupt voice from the system.1
Ok?1
The Tiger Spirit's life memory, this was interesting.1
"Check!"1
Suddenly, a completely unfamiliar picture appeared in front of Arin's eyes.1
In a well-lit cave, there was a tiger cub lying on the ground.1
It was crying on its stomach.1
Judging by its appearance, it should have been born within a few months.1
Soon, a huge black-striped white-skinned tiger came beside the cub.1
Its eyes, full of power and authority, were also full of kindness.1
It gently patted the cub with its paw.1
Then it lay down next to it.1
The cub's eyes lit up, it stopped crying, and began to drink milk.1
A happy expression on its face.1
The little cub would sleep when it was full, and drink when it woke up.1
Simple and joyful.1
And the tiger mother had been guarding it, except for hunting, never leaving it.1
Under the careful care of the tiger mother, the cub grew up carefree.1
Until one day, it was hungry and cried.1
It didn't take long for the tiger mother to come to it and feed it.1
But this time the tiger mother went hunting for a long time and did not come back.1The cub was so hungry that it couldn't stand it, so it glanced at the white expanse outside the cave.1
It couldn't help but walk out.1
If the tiger mother were there, she would have stopped this dangerous behavior severely.1
Any powerful creature is extremely fragile when it is young.1
Finally, the cub stood on a sloping field halfway up the mountain with a curious face.1Looking around, the green hills were verdant, and the clouds and mists were billowing in the distance, so magnificent.1But when the young tiger looked down the mountain, it was stunned.1
It saw a gang of Twolegs dragging its mother down the mountain.1
That's the Mountain Hunter.
The tiger mother, who usually loved it like a mountain, was being dragged by someone and remained motionless.1
She had turned into a corpse.1
The cub barked loudly, but it didn't have the slightest tiger prestige.1
It couldn't be heard down the mountain.1On this day, the cub grew up overnight, because the time when it lay down and drank its mother's milk was gone forever.1The young tiger also deeply remembered the group of hunters.1
It hated those Twolegs down the mountain.1After that, every day at this hour, on a certain hillside, there would always be tiger cubs.1It roared to the sky, and the sound spread all over the field.1
Gradually, day after day, the voice became thicker and thicker.1
Gradually, the sound of the tiger's howl began to soar into the sky, and the small beasts in the mountain were frightened.1Driven by hatred, the young tiger not only survived successfully, but also became stronger and stronger.1
It rose very quickly, and one day, a mysterious shackle in its body was cut off by it.1
The majestic energy released poured into every inch of flesh and bone in its body.1When the flame pattern covered its body, it announced the coronation of the crown.1
It knew that it had transformed itself and embarked on an unknown and powerful road.1
Its roar and howl resounded through the sky, and this mountain ushered in the real king of beasts.1
At this moment, it also knew that it could take revenge.1
From then on, the Tiger Spirit traveled all over the green hills, killing what it thought were two-leg hunters.1
Every time it caught one, it would kill them in the most cruel way, and then eat them.1Then it refined them into ghosts, and let these ghosts guide their relatives down the mountain to the mountain.1
Then it would eat them.1
Repeatedly.1
This Tiger Spirit had five hundred years of Taoism, not five hundred years of cultivation.1
It was produced by cannibalism.1
Arin watched like a movie, seeing how the Tiger Spirit rose from this mountain.1Watching the Tiger Spirit eat people so cruelly.1
He didn't know if it was because he had turned into a snake, but his heart didn't fluctuate much.1
Goblins cannibalizing people had been the case since ancient times.1
Speaking of which, he was also a fairy now.1Aside from this memory, Arin had other gains.1
Because through the memory of the Tiger Spirit, he understood the world at once.1This was a world where fierce ghosts and spirits were rampant.
What ruled was the Ming Dynasty of the human race.1
The founding ancestor Taizu unified the world by force.1
And because of the evil spirits in the world and the chaos in the world, Taizu's methods were strong.1
In order to clear the government of officials, Buddhism and Taoism jointly established two special imperial court organizations, the Demon Slaying Division and the Immortal Compassion Division.1
The former was to kill demons, and the latter was to drive away ghosts.1
In addition to the imperial court's eagle and dog masters, there were also many disciples of Buddhism and Taoism joining the Demon Slayer.1
One was for secular experience, exercising psychic spells.1
The second was to express their attitude and willingness to work for Daming.1
As for the Immortal Compassion Division, officials who had meritorious deeds died, were canonized by the imperial court as ghosts and gods, and received incense forever.1
The head of the division, Chenghuang, was in charge of yin and yang, the four judges on the left and right, and the chief officials of the twenty-four divisions, who were in charge of the ears and drove away ghosts and evil spirits.1
The mountain where Arin was now was called Tianxing Mountain, which was the base camp of demons and ghosts, with Kyoto as its back.1
His current position was only a shallow mountain area.1
So there would be hunters.1
In the depths of the mountain, even a Tiger Spirit with five hundred years of practice had no courage to step into it.1
At the foot of Tianxing Mountain, there were human villages all over.1
A Tianhe River in the mountains vented down, flowing continuously, and thousands of villages of different sizes were scattered along the way.1
Relying on mountains to eat mountains, relying on water to drink water.1
It was a suburb of Kyoto.1
As Arin thoroughly absorbed the memory of the Tiger Spirit, he gradually gained a clear understanding of the world.1
The reason why Tianxing Mountain became the stronghold of monsters was mainly because the founding ancestor of the country was too strong and hated evil like a vengeful.1
At the beginning, the Demon Slaying Division and the Immortal Compassion Division were set up, and they issued thirteen decrees to slay demons and drive away ghosts.1
It was said that in the first year, hundreds of thousands of demons were thrown into the Demon Refining Cave and melted.1
The monsters in the world who were frightened finally hid in Tianxing Mountain.1They didn't dare to make mistakes.
