Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 76 The time has come, growth surprise!

The news from the evil ghost Fa Ming suddenly woke Qi Hu from his meditation, and his face was filled with confusion.

"Woo."

Outside the cave, on the edge of the cliff, the cold wind howled
The cold wind as sharp as a knife blew straight into the cave.

The cave was dark.

Looking at the dim bonfire in the fire pit, the ghost Liu Bin was nowhere to be seen.

Qi Hu frowned slightly and immediately cried out in his heart.

Soon.

"Owner."

"I'm back."

A faint response was heard from outside the cave, and then the blurry figure of the ghost Liu Bin floated in.

Qi Hu stood up and looked at the ghost, who was obviously much weaker than before. His brows furrowed and he asked, "Where have you been?"

"Owner."

Liu Bin, the ghost who was blurry but excited, said immediately: "I have dug up all the herbs around our cave. I just went to the wall below the cave cliff. There are many herbs to be dug there."

"The little one also dug this up."

As he spoke, the exquisite black storage bag given to him by Qi Hu appeared in one hand of the ghost Liu Bin, and in the other hand, there appeared a green-leafed elixir that emitted a faint pale white light.

Yes, although Qi Hu could not name this elixir, he could smell it from the faint spiritual light and faint medicinal fragrance attached to its surface.

What the henchman Liu Bin has in his hand is a magical medicine, which is about four years old.

"Where did you dig this?"

After taking the elixir handed over by the other party, Qi Hu still frowned.

A four-year-old spiritual medicine is very important to the little demons, but it is nothing to Qi Hu now.

The ghost Liu Bin has good cooking skills and has been with him for ten years.
Even a cat or dog would have some feelings after being raised for ten years, let alone Liu Bin, a lackey who lives every day just to please him and listen to him.

But this guy was originally just an ordinary human gangster. After becoming a ghost, his fighting power is almost zero in the Jindou Mountain where monsters are everywhere.

Any little demon could eat him right away.

Qi Hu naturally didn't want this guy to die.

Although he now has some fame in Jindou Mountain.

But not all monsters know him, just like the little monsters from the former Black Wolf Valley and the former Black Bear Ridge are definitely not as familiar with him as the direct monsters from the former Golden Dou Mountain.

What’s more, they are his minions.

Those little monsters can now run around Jindou Mountain. If they happen to meet the ghost Liu Bin and are eaten by him, Qi Hu will have no one to complain to. Even if he kills the little monster afterwards, the ghost Liu Bin will not be able to come back.

This is also the reason why Qi Hu did not allow the ghost Liu Bin to leave the cave or go too far away from him.

“This thing is good, but don’t run too far away next time.”

Qi Hu put away the elixir and said with a straight face, "Come here."

Seeing that his master was angry, the ghost Liu Bin immediately walked over nervously and carefully, looking at his master with a pitiful expression.

Qi Hu opened his mouth and spit out a mouthful of spiritual power onto the ghost Liu Bin.

I immediately felt my body become much stronger and more powerful.

Realizing that his master was not that angry, the ghost Liu Bin immediately became happy again and said with a grin, "Thank you, master. Thank you, master."

"okay."

Qi Hu interrupted the other party and said, "Let's get something to eat first."

"Okay."

The ghost Liu Bin responded and immediately started to work in front of the fire pit.

Qi Hu sat beside the fire pit, watching the bright yellow flames gradually burning in front of him, and quickly recalled the news that the ghost monk Fa Ming, who had stayed in Chechi Kingdom, had brought him: three powerful monsters had come to Chechi Kingdom.

Just now, he was momentarily shocked by the information from the ghost monk, and he could not help but subconsciously think that the three monsters mentioned in the other party's message were the three monsters Tiger Power, Sheep Power, and Deer Power in his memory.

After calming down, he immediately realized something was wrong.

As far as I remember, the three Huli brothers seemed to have learned Taoist skills and performed Taoist magic.

With the other party's skill of praying for rain, not to mention the monsters without roots, even the human race without roots and other cultivators in the world would not be able to even touch the door.

You must know that thunder, lightning, rain and dew are all grace from the Emperor!

This sentence, when used to describe the emperor on earth, is just a metaphor and adjective.

But when used in heaven, it is the true literal meaning and the bloody fact.

From this, we can also to some extent glimpse the origins of the three brothers of Huli Daxian who are able to perform the rain-making technique. They are definitely not wild monsters without roots.

In addition, due to his extraordinary strength, he was able to transform into a human body long ago.

If such a monster really wanted to become the national master of Chechi Kingdom, he would never reveal his true identity.

Otherwise it would be really stupid.

And no matter how stupid the ruler of Chechi State was, he would not be so foolish as to allow three monsters to be their national teachers.

What's more, it got to the point where even the common people and monks knew about it.

and so.

After some calm thinking.

Qi Hu was very sure that the three monsters mentioned by the ghost monk Fa Ming could not be the three tiger-power monster brothers.

My mind is much clearer now.

Qi Hu immediately sent a message to the evil monk of Che Chi State in his mind.

Soon.

The ghost monk Fa Ming replied:
It turned out that today, three powerful monsters entered the city. After being discovered, they killed many officers, soldiers and monks. Finally, they broke into the palace and abducted several concubines of the king. As for what kind of monsters they were, no one could see clearly.

Hear the news brought back by the evil ghost Fa Ming.

Qi Hu fell silent.

If he had asked a few more questions in time, he wouldn't have had to waste his brain cells thinking just now.

However, the monsters that Fa Ming described were indeed rampant. They dared to enter Chechi Kingdom in broad daylight and rob the king's concubine.

But this also reflects the uselessness of the monk national teacher. A few monsters broke into the palace directly, and the national teacher became a decoration. He must have lost face this time.

From this point, we can see how dangerous and important it would be if the mortal kingdom was not guarded by monks, or if the monks who guarded it were not strong enough.

For example, the Western Liang Kingdom of Women is directly guarded by the Shushan sect, a major immortal sect, and ordinary monsters dare not invade.

Like the great immortal sects like Shushan and Kunlun.

If the Heavenly Court did not have a strong backer, it would be impossible for it to grow big and have its reputation spread throughout the four continents.

we can even say.

To a certain extent, these immortal sects are practicing the will of Heaven in the mortal world.

Thinking about it
Qi Hu's expression suddenly froze.

Because he thought that the three monsters had openly abducted the king's wife, and the king of Chechi would surely be furious and extremely dissatisfied with the monk.

In addition, it seemed that there had not been a drop of rain in Chechi Country for nearly five months.

If there is no rain for two or three months, it can only be considered a minor drought for Chechi Kingdom. It is not too dry and not too rare!

But if there is no rain for five months, that would be terrible, it would definitely be a severe drought!
Think of this.

Qi Hu immediately sent another message to the evil monk of Chechi State.

Not long after.

The henchman Fa Ming sent back the message again.

It turned out that the King and the Imperial Master of Chechi State had prayed for rain several times, but not a drop of rain fell, and there was no sign of rain at all. The people of Chechi State were wailing, but the monks' lives were very comfortable as they didn't have to work.

Hear these messages.

A thought suddenly emerged in Qi Hu's mind: "Has the drought in Chechi Kingdom already begun?"

Monsters are causing trouble!
Drought strikes!

The national teacher is incompetent!

I think the King of Chechi must be dissatisfied with the monk.

At this time, if a powerful monk who could pray for rain came and replaced the monk as the national teacher, it would be a natural outcome.
The more Qi Hu thought about it, the more frightened he became.
If he could think of these things, then others who wanted to seize the position of Chechi State's Imperial Master would naturally be able to think of these things as well.

"Wait, those three monsters?"

Thinking of this.

Qi Hu suddenly felt that the three monsters were suspicious.

If those three monsters were really the three brothers of Huli Daxian, and they deliberately created such a thing to make the king dislike the national teacher and highlight the national teacher's incompetence, then they could go into the city to pray for rain and it would not be impossible for them to take the position of national teacher in one fell swoop!
After all, he didn't think that just because the mysterious immortal riding a black tiger came to find him, the three brothers of the Tiger Power Immortal in his memory would definitely disappear.

Think of the one-horned bull demon.
He has been the king of Jindou Mountain for ten years since he came down to earth, and he would definitely continue to do so before the team of pilgrims arrived.

And as far as he could remember, how many years had the Green Bull Demon been on earth?
It’s only been seven years!

There are also the seven spider spirits in the Panshi Cave.

As I recall, when we met the pilgrim team, the seven spider spirits were still intact.

Now one of them died ten years ago.

Moreover, the above changes have nothing to do with him as a time traveler, because he cannot reach it yet.

so many
Therefore, those things in memory can only be used as reference at most!

If he had blindly believed it, he would have died without knowing how.

But no matter what, the three demons who caused chaos in Chechi State today and kidnapped the king's concubines are definitely the three Huli brothers.
In addition, the drought in Chechi Kingdom began, and the incompetence of the national teacher.
Qi Hu must set off!
You need to go to Chechi Kingdom in person to see it!

If the timing is right, he will directly seize the position of Chechi State's National Master!

First, fulfill the conditions promised to the immortal riding a black tiger ten years ago.

Otherwise, if the three Huli brothers got ahead and became the national masters, it would be really troublesome.

"Yes, just do it!"

Think of this.

Qi Hu's mind suddenly became active.

If he wants to leave Jindou Mountain, he needs the consent of his current superior, General Hejiao.

However, since the three-way monster competition was scheduled five years ago, it has become a tool for the three generals to compete with each other.

General Black Horn will definitely pay close attention to this year's competition.

And, just a month ago.

When Qi Hu was invited to drink with Da Ge, he also learned from the other party that the three generals had placed a bet in this year's competition.

therefore.

If Qi Hu wants to leave Jindou Mountain and go to Chechi Kingdom, he must wait until this year's three-party competition is over.

He is the second leader under General Heijiao whose cultivation has reached the late stage of spiritual realm!

It's possible that we will have to go into battle this time.

Because the last time, five years ago, he killed a monster leader of the same level in the Black Wolf Valley, who was in the middle stage of the spiritual realm.

This time, Black Wolf Valley would definitely call on him. Moreover, the first snow of the year was just around the corner.

If he leaves Jindou Mountain at this time, he might... No, not just might, but he will definitely give other monsters the impression and reputation of deserting the battlefield!
Qi Hu had no intention of never coming back, so he certainly couldn't ruin his reputation like this.

not to mention
He estimated that General Black Horn would not agree to his request to leave Jindou Mountain unless he completed the competition.

"So, after the competition is over, immediately tell General Heijiao about leaving the mountain! Then, set off for Chechi Kingdom!"

The decision was made.

Qi Hu's mind moved slightly, and he immediately sent the message to Fa Ming, the ghost monk who stayed behind in Chechi Kingdom, and continued to inquire.

Time passed slowly.

When the cooking pot in front of you starts to emit a rich aroma.

Sudden.

There were footsteps outside the cave.

"This fragrance, hehe."

"Second brother, it seems we came at the perfect time."

Outside the cave, the hearty sound of Changya could be heard from afar.

Qi Hu didn't care and just continued chatting with Fa Ming, the lackey of Chechi Kingdom, about everything that had happened recently in Chechi Kingdom, especially the news about the three monsters.

In order to satisfy his master, the lackey Fa Ming has tried his best to find out.

"what"

“It’s snowing”

“It’s finally snowing”

The sound of long teeth came just outside the cave entrance.

Qi Hu finally turned around and looked at Changya who was walking into the cave and asked, "Is it snowing outside?"

"right"

Changya nodded immediately, pointed at the snowflakes on his fur and said, "It's right here, it just fell."

He just finished speaking.

He immediately looked at the ghost Liu Bin who was busy in front of the pot and said with a smile: "Little Liu Bin, what delicious food are you cooking today?"

But the accomplice Liu Bin ignored him and rolled his eyes at him.

Changya didn't care about it at all, and had no idea what embarrassment was. He immediately sat down in front of the fire pit with a smile on his face.

"The first snow of the year has fallen"

Qi Hu took the big bowl of meat soup handed over by the ghost Liu Bin, looked at Changya and Dajiao opposite him and said, "It seems that the competition will be held in the next few days. Have you arranged everything?"

“Everything is arranged”

The big horn immediately nodded and said, "We have a total of ten small ones this time, all of which have been fought and beaten up from below us."

"kindness"

Hearing his second brother's words, Qi Hu nodded.

Although he did not personally supervise the monsters below, as they were all managed by his eldest and second brothers, he still made all the necessary decisions and knew all the things they needed to know.

This time, the little demons selected by his command to fight in the competition were all in the late stage of the Spirit Awakening Realm. Then he let them fight each other to win the qualification to show up and fight in front of the king.

By the way.

Ten years ago, when his subordinates were learning magical powers, he had more than fifty little demons under his command.

Now, there are about eighty of them.

Moreover, after the previous battle to capture Snake Neck Ridge, plus ten years of rest and recuperation.

The group of little demons that survived ten years ago have grown very fast.

Under his command alone, there are nearly thirty little demons in the late stage of the Spirit Qi Realm.

If you add those under other leaders, there will be too many.

"Third brother."

At this time, Changya suddenly said shyly: "Brother, can you go up and fight too?"

But before he could finish.

Qi Hu immediately interrupted: "No!"

Although it is a life-and-death contest, most monsters are still willing to fight desperately for the sake of showing off and for the rewards.

In this competition, any monster that participates, regardless of winning or losing, will be rewarded with elixirs and blood food as long as they survive.

Of course, winning would be more.

This is also the reason why the teeth are getting a little restless.

Qi Hu had always known that when he heard that his elder brother wanted to play, he immediately said seriously: "Brother, the king and the general are watching the competition, so I can't interfere!"

"That means that if you lose and don't have time to admit defeat, you will most likely die!"

"If you want to fight, you can find someone below, or wait until this competition is over and then go fight the monsters in Black Wolf Valley and Black Bear Ridge. Third brother supports you."

"How about it?"

Hearing Qi Hu’s serious advice.

After a moment of silence, Changya said seriously, "Third brother, I know your good intentions, but how should I put it? I have a feeling that if I can go on the field and have a good fight, maybe I can break through. You know I have been in the late stage of the Qiling Realm for a long time, and this time I have a rare feeling."

Hear this.

Qi Hu's expression suddenly changed slightly: "Are you sure?"

If it really involves a breakthrough in realm, Qi Hu will definitely not stop it.

Because this feeling is rare. Those who fail to break through simply cannot find this feeling at all and do not know how to break through.

"kindness"

Changya nodded: "I can't say for sure, I can only say there is a hint."

"That's it!"

Hearing this, Qi Hu nodded decisively and said, "It's a rare opportunity to break through. Maybe it will only happen once in a lifetime. So, big brother, go ahead and compensate the little demon who replaced you."

Hearing Qi Hu's agreement, Chang Ya grinned and said, "That's easy, big brother will do it."

Looking at the happy big brother.

Qi Hu didn't say anything else.

Anyway, he has made up his mind, so he will tell his general in advance.

When his elder brother is in real danger of his life, he will definitely help him.

He would not watch his sworn brother dying in front of him and be afraid of this and that and remain indifferent.

"How about you, second brother?"

Having made up his mind, Qi Hu looked at Da Jiao standing beside him and asked, "Second brother, are you thinking of going on stage too?"

"I don't have to"

Da Jiao smiled and shook his head: "I have some feelings, but I'm not sure yet. I don't think I need to fight like my big brother."

"Oh"

Qi Hu was really surprised to hear what Da Jiao said. He immediately said in surprise: "It seems that not only big brother's luck has come, but second brother's luck has also come. If you need any help from me, your younger brother, just tell me!"

Da Jiao immediately laughed and said, "I have had this feeling for a while, and I don't know if it's just my illusion. Anyway, it's like this. If I need anything, I won't be polite to Third Brother."

"That's good"

Qi Hu nodded and smiled: "When both of you, big brother and second brother, break through, then the three of us brothers will be very powerful."

He was so happy.

If the eldest and second brothers can make a breakthrough, he will have two more helpers when he goes to Chechi Kingdom to become the national teacher in the future.

Although he still has two leader-level minions, the snake demon Hongye and the bear demon Xiong Er, but he never has too many helpers.

What's more, if you become a leader and escape when the team arrives, your chances of survival will be greater.

"hey-hey."

Hearing what his third brother said, Chang Ya immediately laughed and said, "When the time comes, the three of us brothers will all be leaders, and everyone will be impressed by our majesty."

Da Jiao also smiled and nodded: "That's right, I feel happy just thinking about it."

“Happiness cannot be achieved without wine.”

He suddenly became interested, and with a wave of his hand, three large wine jars appeared on the side.

Changya's eyes lit up, and he immediately shouted, "Third brother, didn't you say you had finished drinking it a year ago? How come there's still some left?"

Qi Hu: "That's all. There's really nothing left after I finish drinking it."

Changya: "I don't believe it unless you let me check it."

Qi Hu: "If you don't believe me, then forget it. Do you want to drink?"

Teething: "Drink"

"That's it, fuck."

Qi Hu raised his wine bowl and looked at the ghost Liu Bin beside him and said, "Put the pot on the stove and grill some steaks."

"okay."

The henchman Liu Bin responded immediately, and then he quickly got busy again.

"Come on, do it."

"Gulu gulu."

"I haven't had a drink in a long time. It feels so good!"

"Third brother, is this really all the wine you have?"

"real."

"I do not believe"

"I don't care whether you believe it or not, do you drink it or not?"

"If you don't want to drink, my second brother and I will drink."

“I drink, I’m not stupid”

"That's it"

"Ha ha."

Outside the cave.

The cold wind howled.

The wind and snow got stronger.

Inside the cave.

Warm and cozy.

The three brothers clinked glasses, drank and chatted happily, and were very happy.
