"I heard that the tiger here is seeking a temple tablet, and he probably wants to be an earth god. And because the gods in the sky are particularly harsh on fairies and ghosts, and the human court is also particularly wary of fairies and ghosts, so this tiger is extra cautious at this time.

, the reason why I smell it is to smell whether there are any evil spirits or impurities on your body."

The old Taoist smiled and said to the two of them:

"Don't worry."

Lin Jue nodded and hummed, while the girl listened honestly without saying a word and continued walking forward.

There is no road here and it is overgrown with grass. Once you step on it, you don’t know whether there will be pits or rocks underneath. It is very difficult to walk.

Lin Jue climbed up and down, struggling to follow.

From time to time, he would reach out and give the girl a hand.

The old way is like walking on flat ground.

Until the wild boar took them to the top of the mountain.

"roar……"

The wild boar roared, turned and walked away.

Lin Jue climbed to the top and still pulled the girl up. He stood up and looked forward, but he was shocked.

We are already at the top of the mountains, with a very wide view. The mountains and rivers in the distance are all under our feet, and only the sky and white clouds are still above our heads. And above this high mountain, there is a flat land, which is not very spacious, but there are also ancient pines and a few green grasses.

At this time, there is already the prototype of a banquet here.

Monsters, lots of monsters.

There is a monkey sitting on the ancient pine in front. If you only look at the appearance, it is just an ordinary monkey. It is just a little cleaner. However, its demeanor and expression are too dignified. It is sitting cross-legged on the ancient pine with its eyes closed, so even if it is not different at all,

Even if the vision is not shown, I also know that it is extraordinary.

It opened its eyes only when it saw a group of people approaching.

On the silky green grass to the right, a leopard is sitting upright and a wild deer is standing, but they are close to each other, with their heads close together, as if they are talking to each other.

It was only when they saw a group of people that they turned their heads.

There is another big snake on the left, coiled in the shade of an ancient pine umbrella, spitting out a message, turning its head to stare at the approaching group of people quietly, its vertical eyes looking extremely cold.

There are also sparrows, eagles, civets, pangolins, black eagles, oxen and large black bears.

They all look like birds and beasts, some are slightly different in size from ordinary birds and beasts, and some are exactly the same, but they are completely the same and you can tell they are monsters from their expressions.

They roughly formed a circle.

There is a piece of granite at the front, about as tall as a person, like a tiger's seat, with the only humanoid monster sitting on top of it——

A dark, strong man with a black boar's head on his neck and a chest full of manes.

This scene was so fantastic that Lin Jue opened his eyes wide.

And because this is the top of the mountains, not deep in the mountains and old forests, it is bright and not dark. The sun has not set yet, the summer sun is still scorching, and the blue sky and white clouds are hanging overhead, so this scene is also

It doesn't look gloomy at all, but actually has a sense of solemnity because of the order.

As for this tiger...

Looks like a wild boar turned into a spirit?

Yes, there are no tigers here. The so-called tigers are naturally those who have the highest spiritual practice.

Lin Jue couldn't help but turned his head and looked at the old Taoist and the girl, but saw that the old Taoist still looked as normal, as if he was used to such a scene. The girl opened her eyes wide in fright, her face turned pale, but she closed her mouth tightly and still made no sound.

"Are there any guests here again?"

The tiger sitting at the top waved his hand and spoke human words in a strong voice: "Dear guests, please give up your seat."

The deer and leopard who were closer to Lin Jue and his party heard this and immediately moved to the side. The big snake looked at them coldly and also moved to the side, but it seemed that it did not want to bask in the sun and only moved to the edge of the shade.

Lin Jue was silent for a moment, then walked over and sat down.

The old Taoist came and sat cross-legged next to him.

Then the girl walked between the two of them, still trying her best to keep calm, but when she wanted to sit down, her legs gave out and she fell to the ground with a thud.

"brush……"

It was quiet at this time, and when she fell down, all the mountain elves and wild monsters turned their heads, and many pairs of different eyes stared at her.

"!"

Although the girl's legs were weak, she was still smart, so she kept her mouth shut and just lowered her head and stared at the green grass on the ground.

Lin Jue was also nervous.

I don’t know if these goblins and ghosts in the mountains have any other specialties. Anyway, even if you are a human being, it is rude to show that you are very afraid of the host when you go to visit him as a guest.

"Fellow Taoists, don't be nervous. This is my new disciple. He hasn't started practicing yet. His legs are weak all the way up the mountain." The old Taoist laughed and said in a long voice, "If you want to blame me, I have no one to blame.

The tiger's dojo is set too high, just like the tiger's mind, which is in the clouds of gods and cannot be touched by mortals."

When the tiger heard this, he felt happy and laughed.

"Isn't the guest familiar?"

"The poor Taoist He Xianyu, whose Taoist name is Yunhe, has been practicing in the mountains far away. Now that he is old and thinks that he will not live for a few more years, he will go to see his old friend from many years ago for the last time while he can still move around." The old Taoist said.

He straightened the hem of his Taoist robe and said, "It is fate that I can meet the tiger here."

"I am Lin Jue, who has always longed for the wonders of gods and wonders. He happened to hear that the tiger was holding a banquet here, so he came boldly to see it."

"It's good to have a predestined relationship! Predestined relationship is the best!" Tiger was quite enthusiastic and seemed to have a very honest and honest temperament. After saying this, he raised his eyes and looked down, "Are there any other guests who haven't arrived yet?"

There was a sudden sound in the green grass.

A wild boar ran to check it out.

Another seated falcon flapped its wings and stirred up strong winds. It flew up two or three feet high from the ground, looked around, and then landed again. Then it spoke human words, with a contradictory voice that was both sandy and sharp:

"There's no more going up the mountain."

"Fellow Taoist Eagle still sees far! In this case, let's prepare for a banquet!"

"I have a treasure, dedicated to the tiger."

The monkey on the ancient pine immediately spoke up and jumped down from the tree. Holding a bright red fruit in his hands, he walked to the granite stone where the tiger sat and respectfully placed it under the stone.

"Some time ago, I caught a thousand-year-old ginseng and gave it to Mr. Tiger."

"I also have something..."

Many fairies and ghosts came forward one by one and presented the gifts they had brought.

Some spoke in human language, and some seemed unable to speak, so they held or grasped various kinds of heavenly and earthly treasures, put them under the bluestone, saluted the tiger, and then walked back.

The scene becomes more and more fantastic.

In the end, only Lin Jue and three others were left.

"Pindao heard that Tiger wanted to pursue the sacred way of incense, so he and his disciples brought a pot of sacred water from the cinnabar well to Tiger."

"Um?"

Some seemed not to know what it was, and their voices were full of doubts. Some seemed to know that this water was more precious, and their voices were full of surprise.

The tiger was the latter and was very surprised.

After the surprise, I was overjoyed. I even said polite words to him and thanked him, almost treating him as a distinguished guest.

"I accidentally got a few pieces of peach gum. They were given by a wise peach tree. I also presented them to the tiger."

Finally, there was Lin Jue holding peach gum.

This doesn't have much repercussions.

But no one said anything idle.

At this time, the sun had gradually reached the horizon, and was about to touch the edge of the distant mountain. As the tiger waved his hand, a group of macaques immediately climbed up from below, all carrying food.

Some brought a rabbit, some half a mutton, some a bundle of good fodder, some a pile of fruits, there were many kinds.

Another group of macaques worked together to bring up several wine jars, and another group of macaques brought in piles of firewood.

Lin Jue watched intently.

The wine jar was opened, and it looked like a green liquid inside, which was a little viscous and exuded a winey and fruity aroma.

Immediately, the last macaque who looked a little strange came up, but he bent down and patted the firestone for a long time, and after tinkering, he lit the firewood into a fire.

He is indeed a tiger, using so many macaques.

I’m afraid not all the macaques in the mountain are here?

It seems that these monsters and tigers do not have the magic to spit fire and light fire? Or maybe they feel that lighting fires by themselves is a bit low-level, so they sit still and let this macaque do it?

Lin Jueru was thinking.

He casually glanced to the side with his peripheral vision and found that the girl had also escaped from the state of fear. At this time, just like him, she was staring at the situation around her with a look of contemplation.

But I don't know what she is thinking.

As if she felt his gaze, the girl turned her head and looked at him. Her eyes were clear and doubtful.

"..."

Lin Jue smiled and looked back.

But I saw that a banana leaf had been placed in front of me, with a handful of raspberries and a handful of ground fruits piled on the leaf. The raspberries were very big, each about the size of a thumb, bright red and black, and they were all grown by children from Shucun.

It's a quality that would make you exclaim when you happen to encounter it when you are playing farming in the mountains. The ground fruits are also about the same size, and each one is a fine product that is difficult to find even if you usually find one.

There are also a few peaches, plums, and loquats, all of which are in season and are in excellent condition.

The aroma of the fruit has hit your face, mixed with the aroma of wine emanating from the wine jar, making you intoxicated.

Lin Jue was not rude, but looked aside first.

These are the same things in front of the old Taoist and the young girl.

The same thing happened to the monkey on the old pine tree.

It seems that the treatment of several of them is based on this monkey demon.

As for those fish and loaches that feed on raw meat, they are supplied to different spirits respectively, and they avoid the original species of the guests present.

"Quite particular..."

Lin Jue couldn't help but think silently in his heart.

However, few spirits focus on the food in front of them like him, and almost all of them look at the few wine jars in the middle of the open space.

"Oh! I make a batch of Qiannijiu every ten years, and today is the first one!"

The tiger stood up lazily. He was wearing a coarse cloth robe and a trousers belt made of vines. It was very simple, but it matched his rugged appearance.

I saw him striding to the center of the open space, in front of the wine jar, and took out two small bottles, one black and one white, from his waist.

"Since I'm inviting you all to the banquet, it's natural to include the essence of the sun, the earth, and the moon."

"boom……"

All of a sudden, many spirits lost their posture, revealing their animal nature. They either stretched their heads and stared closely at his hands, or they were so anxious that they could not sit still and spun around, scratching their ears and cheeks.

I saw the tiger's wrist turning.

A bottle is poured, like flowing rock, emitting a fiery glow, just like the setting sun at this time.

Pour into a wine jar.

A bottle is like black satin, with thousands of brilliance in the darkness, like the Milky Way in the world upside down, also poured into the wine jar.

"..."

Suddenly there was a strange aroma in the aroma of the wine.

This fragrance seems to be not only smelled by the nose, not the perception of some organ, but a deeper level of nourishment. Just the smell of it makes people feel comfortable, so the fragrance smelled is more like

A deeper pleasure.

The tiger himself scooped the wine, put it in bamboo tubes, and handed it to the macaques, who then delivered it to each guest.

These macaques were walking with bamboo cups in their hands, but they couldn't help sniffing and sniffing. The objects in their hands brought great temptation to their instincts, but the majesty of the tiger urged them to continue delivering wine, so they had to use this compromise method.

There is a way to taste the aura in the wine, and when I walk to the back, everyone’s footsteps are soft.

Lin Jue also placed a cup in front of him.

The green wine liquid is slightly thick, with impurities in it, like small black ants, and countless fine sands. It exudes a shimmering light like thousands of stars, and there are firelights flowing around, like the sunset on the horizon.

Lin Jue lowered his head, himself reflected in the wine.

It still feels a bit unreal in my heart.

The tiger held a banquet and the monsters attended the meeting, offering treasures and sharing wine. It was just like the legend of the monsters told by the village elders. However, I did not expect that such wonderful things really existed in the world.

And I was at a banquet.
Chapter completed!
