Reborn, I am doing involution on Jinshan
Chapter 171: Tiger Immortal is Hard to Find
There happened to be a large cave in a secluded place in the back mountain, with a small river next to it. It was far away from people and was just right for them to live there.
Yan Shilong once again carried the two tiger cubs in his schoolbag, while Wu Jinyun led the way, chattering and translating. This time, only the master and apprentice were responsible for evacuating the White Tiger family.
Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief, and the students who were watching dispersed when they saw that there was nothing exciting to watch.
Only the other six direct disciples stayed behind and followed Master Li Jing back to the main hall of the library. The eldest brother, Zhong Shuo, understood the whole process and said, "Xiaolong, don't be so reckless next time. You're bringing everything into the Taoist temple. It's making life difficult for Master."
Yan Shilong lowered his head, his round face full of guilt. "Big Brother, I know I was wrong. I just felt sorry for them and didn't think too much about it."
Li Jing waved his hand and said gently, "Xiaolong means well. He's the youngest and has a lot to learn. But he really needs to consider the consequences of his actions in the future. The white tiger is still a beast. If we didn't have the help of the bird fairy, it would have been another fierce battle."
At this moment, Xiao Ruiyue, who had been silent the whole time, suddenly had her eyes light up, "Master, since the spirit tiger is so precious, maybe in the future when we encounter other injured spirit beasts outside, they can help us. Maybe they can help us in the future."
Everyone agreed that this made sense. Li Jing smiled and nodded, "Little Ruiyue is right. We at Ziling Mountain have always been compassionate. When we encounter a creature in need, we will help it if we can. But we must also do so within our means and protect ourselves."
Everyone responded in agreement. Afterwards, they sat together and began to discuss the new Taoist knowledge that the master was about to introduce. The main hall of the library returned to its former tranquility and peace.
At noon the next day, the doorman brought in a bigger white tiger, the tiger father, who looked majestic and had well-developed limbs.
It turned out to be the Bird Fairy Clan that had spread the news that Purple Spirit Mountain was bustling with activity. The arrival of the Linghu family excited the disciples of the Taoist temple, and they all rushed to the cave to visit, adding a little fun to their boring Taoist life. However, they dared only stand and watch from afar.
This tiger fairy only allowed Yan Shilong and his disciple Li Jing to approach. Yan Shilong stayed by the tiger cubs every day, giving them medicine or food.
I occasionally brought little Ruiyue with me; she seemed to love the furry creatures. Of course, I also brought my interpreter, the colorful bird Wujinyun, to bring them treats. Wujinyun didn't go out to make friends, but instead tried to stay with them and help translate for them.
"Little things, will you remember me in the future?" Little Ruiyue used a comb to scratch the two tiger cubs and tidy up their messy hair.
The little hands touched the animals randomly, just like massaging them. The two tiger cubs closed their eyes comfortably, purred softly in their throats, and actually fell asleep.
The tiger parents, accustomed to her presence, closed their eyes and rested. Suddenly, a strange eagle swooped down from the sky and landed at the entrance of the cave. Its eyes were fierce, and it exuded an unsettling aura. The tiger parents immediately became alert, standing in front of the cub and emitting low growls.
Little Ruiyue was so frightened that she quickly hid under a huge rock. Although the eagle did not dare to hurt the disciples of Ziling Mountain, what she was most afraid of was encountering an eagle that did not follow the rules.
Seeing this, the tiger cub Luanmao followed her and snuggled up to her feet, shivering.
"Baby, hide behind me." Xiao Ruiyue drew out a dagger, ready to fight at any time.
The eagle squawked, seemingly provoking it. Wu Jinyun hurried over and tried to communicate with the eagle, while the passing birds hurried to call for help.
Li Jing and Yan Shilong soon arrived, only to find a crane arguing with an eagle. The eagles had noticed the size of the food the doorman delivered had been decreasing, and they suspected the Linghu family was taking their food. As the eagle's superior, it felt obligated to drive away these intruders.
After listening for a while, Li Jing finally understood: "Brother Eagle, regarding the shortage of food, I will definitely send disciples to investigate thoroughly. The Tiger Immortals are guests of our Purple Spirit Mountain. Their children are injured and are recuperating here. It is inappropriate for you to speak like this. Can you please go home first?"
The crane immediately transformed into a humanoid figure, revealing a young man in a blue robe and a crown. He bowed deeply to Li Jing, frowning and saying, "Master, when will this tiger immortal leave? There are too many monks and too little porridge. The long-haired tribe feels that every day the four-legged beasts are here is a day more of a threat to them."
Li Jing said unhappily, "Is your conflict about the lack of food? Or do you think the Tiger Immortal has taken over your cave?"
The eagle and the crane looked at each other in bewilderment. The crane understood what the other meant and said, "Master, please let them leave as soon as possible."
Seeing her master coming, little Ruiyue grew a little bolder. Holding the tiger cub in her arms, she stood beside Li Jing and said, "Senior, regarding the age-old problem of insufficient food, do you have any eagle brothers who are interested in moving to our royal hunting grounds?"
The eagle snorted coldly and switched to human language: "You little girl, don't be so arrogant! You can't make the decision, so aren't you asking questions even though you already know the answer?"
"Can you speak human language?" Little Ruiyue looked at it in surprise. Although the voice was harsh like a blade scraping an iron pan, it was barely bearable.
The eagle snorted arrogantly: "Does your words have any effect?"
Li Jing raised his eyebrows slightly. "She is the daughter of Princess Xinyue, the Female Supervisor. My second disciple is the Eighth Prince. The Eighth Prince has always intended to move some of the eagle brothers to the royal hunting grounds. You only need to control the sky over the imperial city during the day to obtain food for three meals a day. This agreement is still valid."
"Brother Eagle, this is a good idea. You see, the cold winter is coming, and it will be more difficult for the long-haired tribe to hunt. You should immediately arrange a group of subordinates to prepare for migration." The crane messenger urged.
The colorful bird Jinyun chirped and tried to persuade him. The eagle spoke again, "Alright, words are not enough. I will wait for your imperial decree."
Li Jing nodded: "Don't worry, it's a win-win situation, I'm happy to see it happen."
The eagle let out a long roar, soared into the sky, and soon disappeared.
A dispute was finally resolved. To prevent any further intrusion from other tribes, Li Jing personally set up a barrier: "Tiger Immortal, you can live here in peace."
The white tiger father nodded as if he understood. The two tiger cubs pulled Xiao Ruiyue and Yan Shilong and wanted to go out and play with them. Jinyun competently helped translate for both parties, and the white tiger agreed.
"It would be nice if I could understand animal language." Little Ruiyue muttered.
Yan Shilong, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Xiao Ba, beasts often use vulgar language, which is inappropriate."
The crane messenger laughed heartily: "Girl, it's better not to understand. If everything you ask for is granted and everything is perfect, then you will be close to heaven."
Little Ruiyue was embarrassed: "I didn't think it through. I was just saying it casually." Wu Jinyun stood on her shoulder again mischievously and chirped twice.
The two children, each holding a little tiger, followed their elders, skipping and jumping back home.
Over time, the cubs' injuries gradually healed. Xiao Ruiyue even named them: the girl was named Huahua, and the boy was named Caocao. The white tiger family had been living at the Royal Taoist Temple for 16 days. At noon on this day, the white tiger father brought his cubs and mother to Li Jing, his eyes filled with gratitude. He gently nuzzled Li Jing's hand, knelt with his front legs bent, and then each picked up a cub and prepared to leave.
At that moment, hurried footsteps suddenly sounded in the distance. It was Master Xu, accompanied by a group of elders. He shouted, "Master Li, I still think we can't let this spirit tiger go. This is a great opportunity for the sect to grow!" The atmosphere instantly became tense again. The white tiger once again assumed a fighting stance, and a conflict seemed imminent...
"Tiger Immortal, take them back quickly. The forest is their home." Li Jing ignored several fellow disciples and spoke loudly.
