Journey to the West: Beginning with the Apprenticeship of Bodhi Patriarch

Chapter 32 Fighting Tiger
There is a saying that 'high mountains must have monsters, steep ridges are home to spirits', and Evil Wind Mountain has both of these characteristics. Jiang Tong'er went into the mountains, looking for the evil spirit, and saw a lot of mountain mist and miasma, and wolves and insects running in formation. He taught Yu Ding to protect himself, so the miasma, wolves and insects could not get close to him.

Jiang Yuan walked to an old cave, and the stone door opened, and black gas came out. He used his energy and eyes to look around, but could not hear any sound from inside, so he guessed that the monster was not in the cave.

He thought to himself, "How strange! This monster is not in the cave. Where should it go? There is no one guarding this mountain. I cannot find the way."

In the past, when he went to Yuzhu Mountain, there was a little demon guarding the gate. But there was no little demon in this mountain. How could this tiger not need the little demon to ring the bell and shout at night?

Jiang Yuan said: "This cave must be the home of that monster. I will hide outside the cave and wait for the prey. I will definitely catch this monster by surprise!"

After saying this, he looked for a secluded forest to hide. Before he could hide, he suddenly saw an old woman walking towards him from a distance.

"Sir, sir! Walk slower!"

The old woman had sharp eyes and waved her hands when she saw Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan looked at the old woman and was surprised. How could there be a young man in this evil mountain in the dark night? He shouted from a distance: "Where are you from?"

The old woman waved her hand and said, "I am a traveler who has strayed into the mountains and cannot get out. Sir, take me with you and I will teach you a hundred coins!"

When Jiang Yuan heard this, he was so shocked that he asked, "How can an old man come up to such a dangerous place on the mountain? There must be something fishy about this person. Let him see his face."

He looked around and saw that the old man was as usual. He was surprised and wondered if he was really being paranoid.

The boy has mortal eyes and is not created by heaven and earth, so how can he distinguish the real demon? Just as he was about to go forward, there was a loud earthquake in the Mud Palace and his soul came to his aid.

Jiang Tong'er looked again and wondered how the old woman looked like a human. There was black energy in her body and a tiger growing on her back. Her eyes were green and her teeth were sharp. It turned out to be a tigress who was pretending to be a human to scare him.

Jiang Yuan was angry and almost got into trouble. He thought to himself, "What a close call! This monster tried to scare me, so he deserves a beating. I'll pretend to be good, get close to him, and hit him on the top of his head with the Yu Ding."

Think about it.

He walked towards the old woman, secretly on guard, and clutched the Yu Ding at his waist, saying, "Old man, I will lead you. It's hard to walk at night."

The old woman smiled and said, "Mr. Lao, when you go down the mountain, I will teach you two or three to get a hundred coins, and I won't let you lose money."

Jiang Yuan pretended to be surprised and said, "It's good to have a hundred dollars. I'm just short of money and children."

He walked closer and saw that the old woman's pupils were erect. He felt relieved, knowing that she was indeed the king of mountain beasts.

The old woman didn't notice anything strange, she just smiled, her hands behind her back like claws, and said, "Sir, what are you doing going into the mountains at night?"

Jiang Yuan came closer and said, "I came to this mountain to subdue demons and catch monsters."

The old woman froze and asked, "Sir, which demon are you trying to subdue? Which monster are you trying to catch?"

The two were less than ten steps apart.

Jiang Yuan said with a smile, "It's to catch a tigress. Now I know where the tigress is. After I send the old man down the mountain, I will catch her and make sure she has no way to escape."

The old woman was shocked and asked, "Sir, you are new to this mountain, how did you know there is a tigress here?"

Jiang Yuan said: "The tigress was right in front of me, how could I not know?"

Say it.

The boy suddenly stood up, picked up the tripod and smashed it.

The old woman was startled, knowing that her plan had been foiled. She rolled over in a rage, and the boy chased after her. She hurriedly used a "corpse-dissolving method" and left in advance, leaving behind a fake corpse.

Boom!
Jiang Yuan smashed the corpse's head with a cauldron, breaking it into pieces. He turned around and saw a person with a tiger's head standing in front of him. This was the real body of the tigress.

The monster stood on the stone pillar, pointed at Jiang Yuan, and said, "You little bastard, I have no grudge against you in the past, and no grudge against you in the recent past, so why are you attacking me?" Jiang Yuan shouted, "You have committed evil in this mountain, so I will definitely defeat you."

The monster was furious and asked, "Which mountain did you practice in? You are so arrogant!"

Jiang Yuan said: "Guangxin, the great disciple of Bodhi Patriarch from the Three Stars Cave in the Slanting Moon in Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, is here to subdue you, evil creature, and you won't accept the surrender."

He manifested two black and white fish to subdue the tigress.

The monster said angrily: "You should be my birthday warmer!"

He picked up a tiger claw and started to hit me.

In front of the Evil Wind Cave, there was a brutal fight, it was truly shocking. The boy Eryu Xuan had cultivated the righteous Dharma to a high level, while the monster tiger had sharp claws and used evil methods to eat people. Eryu was good at both attack and defense, while the tiger's claws were chilling to the bone. They fought back and forth, with a lot of collisions.

After fighting for ten rounds, Jiang Yuan was slightly ahead. With the Yu Ding protecting him, how could the monster hurt him? Seeing the opportunity, he took out the Yu Ding and smashed it.

The monster was defeated and retreated, fleeing backwards.

Jiang Yuan shouted, "Don't run!"

The monster pretended to be defeated, and when he saw Jiang Yuan chasing him, he took out an ash bead and blew air into it. A vicious wind came out of the bead, invisible and cold. Jiang Yuan was nearly blown away by the wind, but fortunately the Yu Ding was heavy and stabilized his body.

Jiang Yuan was unable to move for a moment. The wind was so strong that it prevented him from moving forward. He suddenly thought of the white fish.

Mr. Jin is good at knocking down divine weapons, so he should be able to knock down this pearl.

The white fish went up against the wind, and the black bead swirled into the air with its mouth open. The breath was turbid. The monster was trying hard to breathe into the bead to make the evil wind blow stronger, but it was suddenly hit by the turbid air, and the evil wind bead failed to work. No matter how the monster exhaled, no wind rose.

When Jiang Yuan saw the wind had stopped, he jumped up, grabbed the tripod and smashed it, frightening the tiger so much that it panicked and dropped the evil wind bead and ran away.

The evil tiger created a strong wind and fled. As the saying goes, 'clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger'. It fled down the mountain at an incredible speed.

Jiang Yuan captured the Monkey King and saw the Evil Wind Pearl on the ground. He picked it up and said, "That monster ran fast and dropped a treasure. This pearl can spit out evil wind, which is quite useful. We should chase that monster. I am not familiar with the method of flying clouds, so it is a bit slow. Chase slowly. I don't think this monster can get far."

The master taught him to ask five people for help first but did not teach him all the skills, so he was not very familiar with going into the sky, into the ground, or flying into the sea.

He had no choice but to leap high and fly, slowly chasing after the tiger.

……

Old forest in the mountains.

The tiger fled for a while, then landed again, terrified and uneasy: "Where did this weirdo come from? He is so amazing that he made me unable to use my weapons. I am still in the cave with my golden sword and the evil wind beads. I cannot defeat this guy. This guy mentioned the Three Stars Cave of the Slanting Moon on the Lingtai Fangcun Mountain. Where have I heard of this name before?"

The freak recalled that it sounded familiar, and after careful thinking, he realized that there was a fool during the day who also said that he came from "Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave".

The fool was muttering something about not eating enough and guarding the grain, meditating to achieve immortality, etc., and he was eaten by him.

These two people came from the same place and now they are here to seek revenge, but why is there such a big difference in their magical powers? One of them has no magical powers at all and satisfies his appetite, while the other one has plenty of magical powers and makes him flee in panic.

The monster thought about it and came up with a plan. He said, "Why not set a trap and call a little demon in robes to pretend to be the idiot's voice. The two of them are from the same sect, and the villain will definitely go to rescue him. I will take the opportunity to attack him from behind and eat him up in one bite."

The tiger monster then made arrangements. He was in charge of this mountain. He went into the mountain and it would not be difficult to find a little monster that was good at misleading people.

The monster hated Jiang Tong'er so much that he dug a pit to summon the monster and took Dahui's robe, wanting to make Jiang Tong'er fall so that he could eat him to warm his life.

Over there, Jiang Tong'er was searching for the monster, but he was jumping very slowly, not knowing that the evil tiger was intent on harming him...
