MTL - Harue Kagetsu-Chapter 143
Bai Hu heard her voice and turned to face her. The body is huge, the neck is thick, squatting on the huge rock, the shoulder blades are open to the sides, like two rows of iron fans, the four claws are even sharper like hooks, and on the claws, there are some remnants from the prey that have not been licked clean. bloodstains.
It has a broad forehead, a straight and dignified face, a pair of brownish-yellow tiger eyes with a little triangular shape, and a pair of white sharp fangs. It seems that a moment ago, it was awakened by these noises from the opposite side from its sleep. It was very unpleasant, and this was how it appeared.
However, the white tiger in front of me, apart from its still round head and the hair on its neck, looks like a pitiful little tiger in Luoshen's memory, waiting to be rescued. different.
It is strong, majestic, and brutal. From the pair of tiger eyes to the iron whip-like tail behind it, it is full of deterrent power, as if it is about to pounce at any time, using its fangs and claws to tear the prey in front of it. Gotta smash!
Luo Shencai called it out, and seeing its attention was attracted to him, he felt uneasy again.
Although it was very spiritual when it was young and was very close to itself, several years had passed in between. If it wasn't for its rare hair just now, I'm afraid I wouldn't even recognize it myself. After all, it is a wild animal, and it has been in the mountains and forests for many years, how can it still remember itself?
She blurted out, originally out of surprise, but if it provokes its attack, under such circumstances, wouldn't it make things worse, causing trouble for Yang Ji and the others?
It's too late to regret.
She didn't dare to make a sound, she could only try her best to keep calm, staring at the big white tiger opposite her, looking at her without blinking, with a smile on her face.
The white tiger stared at her with its cold brown-yellow eyes. After a while, its head suddenly tilted, raised its paws, hesitated, and seemed to want to jump off the rock.
Yang Ji was tensed up, his eyes fixed on the fierce tiger in front of him that seemed to be about to make a move, and immediately gestured and lip-sounded, making a slow back motion to his companion.
Rong Kang was stunned by this white tiger he had never seen in his life, and was attracted by its rare and beautiful fur, and he secretly wished for good luck. I didn't expect that today not only can I get a beauty, but also a piece of such precious fur. Immediately, he raised the big bow quietly, took the arrow, drew it full, aimed at its eyes, and shot the arrow.
The arrow cluster flew towards the white tiger like a meteor, and the arrow rubbed against the air, making a slight whining sound.
"Be careful!"
The movement of its head tilted, made Luoshen suddenly full of familiarity, and when he saw the arrow shot at it, he subconsciously exhaled again.
Baihu's ears moved slightly, turned his head suddenly, and roared lowly from his throat, staring at Rongkang, his body squatted down, his strong hind legs slammed, and he jumped high from the rock. , the figure drew a long arc in the air and landed on an open space that was only a few feet away from Rong Kang. He roared at Rong Kang, who was still holding a bow and arrow in his hand, and pounced on it.
Rong Kang shot an arrow into the air, and almost in the blink of an eye, he was surprised to see this fierce tiger jumping in front of him and rushing towards him. But after all, he was the one who led the soldiers, and he didn't lose his temper. He still wanted to get its fur intact, so he quickly retreated behind the soldiers, and ordered the animal exorcist to drive the group of beasts to trap it and capture it alive.
The exorcist did not dare to disobey, and whistled to give orders. The tigers and leopards, however, changed from their usual ferocity and timidity. At first they just circled around the white tigers and did not dare to approach, until the animal exorcist beat them with the special hook whips used for animal taming on weekdays, and then issued a sharp and shrill whistle, several tigers and leopards. Under the strong drive, the group finally pounced on the white tiger with claws and claws.
The white tiger roared, and instead of retreating, it advanced, pounced on the several tigers and leopards that jumped, and went down with one paw, accompanied by howling, the front of the colorful tiger, from the neck to the side of the belly, the flesh was torn apart, A long opening was opened, and the intestines fell to the ground.
Almost at the same time, another colorful tiger pounced from behind and opened its mouth to bite the white tiger's neck. The white tiger turned around, jumped, grabbed, and showed its fangs, fast as lightning, and snapped its neck with a single bite. The colorful tiger collapsed to the ground and let out a shrill howl. The third leopard that attacked in a row jumped high and pounced, was slapped away by the white tiger, rolled on the ground, and before it got up, was bitten on the hip by the white tiger that pounced on it, dripping with blood , After a while of biting, he finally struggled to escape from the white tiger's sharp teeth, whimpered in horror, and limped away with his tail dripping blood.
"Ow-"
The corners of the white tiger's mouth and claws were covered with blood, the hair on the back of the neck was furious, the tiger's eyes widened, and it roared at the beasts in front of it.
The exorcist's face was scorched, and while retreating, he kept waving his whip and whistling.
The white tiger jumped and rushed towards the man. When he turned to escape, he threw the man down from behind, opened his **** mouth, and bit his neck in one fell swoop.
All tigers and leopards were ordered by this animal exorcist, and people were suddenly killed by the white tiger, as if they had lost their shackles. They were attracted by the smell of blood, and they rushed up to surround the few dead beasts eating their flesh. Turned his head to attack Rongkang soldiers.
For a time, the grass and leaves fluttered, the dust was flying, the soldiers shouted and shouted, or randomly shot arrows at the herd, or turned around and fled, the scene was chaotic.
Only then did Rong Kang's face change, and he hurriedly ordered the archers to fire arrows, but it was too late. The beasts followed the white tiger, madly, and rushed into the crowd, biting frantically when they saw anyone, how could the soldiers resist , rushing to flee, screaming, one after another.
Baihu's eyes shot a fierce light, and with a few tigers and leopards that came, they rushed towards Rongkang, who turned around and fled.
Rong Kang heard the screams of the soldiers behind him. He knew that he was being attacked by tigers and leopards, and he felt a gust of wind in the back of his head. He stood upside down in an instant, and he couldn't care about anything else. He hurriedly rolled on the spot. Can dodge a fatal grab from behind him. But it was still half a minute late, and there was a sharp pain in the shoulder, and a large piece of flesh was torn off by a claw hook of the white tiger, and blood was dripping immediately.
The scene was completely out of control.
He didn't dare to stay any longer, and under the protection of the gathered soldiers, he got up from the ground and retreated in a hurry.
The white tiger uttered a long roar again towards those who were scattered on the hillside.
It was victorious, full of the king's roar of demonstrations. The surrounding tigers and leopards seemed to have been inspired by it and responded together.
All of a sudden, in the valley, the whistling sound came and went one after another, converging together, shaking the valley, the earth rustled on the rocks, and startled countless birds in the forest.
Luoshen looked at the scene in front of him and couldn't believe his eyes. Just in the long whistle that shook her ear drums, she suddenly felt the mud under her feet move slightly, and before she could react, the soft mud soaked by the rain collapsed.
She stood unsteadily, and her body fell backward, unable to hold back her momentum. With an exclamation, the whole person rolled down the **** beside the road, and he was empty. He fell straight from the head of the cliff several feet high, and fell into the pool of water at the bottom of the stream.
The world was spinning, and the cold, soft water squeezed her from all directions, pervasive, and in an instant, it took her breath away.
In this dark and silent strange world, when she kept and slowly descended, suddenly, a little inspiration flashed in her mind.
A scene like this, so familiar, where was she before, as if she had experienced it before.
As if she was in an old dream, memories began to flow towards her, and in an instant, her spiritual platform was filled.
The panic when he first fell into the water disappeared.
She closed her eyes and stopped struggling. She floated in the water, swaying leisurely, her long hair and dress spread out, like pieces of beautiful algae.
In her mind, a scene like a dream but not a dream emerged.
Under the moonlight, the river was surging, and she saw a woman, chased by a group of vicious people behind her, wading down the water, step by step, facing the tide that rolled towards her, into the river.
Her back is so small, but she has no turning back and never looked back.
A wave came and devoured the woman.
Like a speck of dust, she disappeared like this, as if she had turned into a piece of white foam hit by the tide, without a trace, and there was no trace of her past in the world.
Sadness, pain, self-blame and despair so strong that they were overwhelming, and grabbed Luo Shen's whole person tightly.
The slush claws, gleaming in the shadows, flashed in her mind one after another.
She saw the woman again. This time, she was wearing a wedding dress, extremely beautiful, and in the firelight of the joyful candles, she stood opposite her groom in front of the tent.
Her groom is so handsome and stalwart. General Zeng fought a hundred battles and wore a **** cast iron coat, but in front of her, this night, Bailiangang also turned into softness.
He stared into her eyes with such tenderness and joy.
In one of her slender hands, she held a wine cup.
She handed the lamp to her groom. Said that from now on, the rest of the concubine's life will be entrusted to the prince.
He took it with a smile, and drank the intoxicatingly fragrant mash that she handed over into his belly.
The screen turns.
Luoshen saw himself being held under Li Mu's body again.
His face was covered in blood. The blood kept pouring out of his mouth, nose and ears, and even fell from his eyes, dripping onto her delicate face.
He stared at her with two eyes, what kind of eyes, **** eyes, full of pain and hatred.
His big hands, which had killed countless enemies, stopped on her neck.
As long as he exerts a little force, her beautiful and weak neck will be easily folded under the palm of his fingers.
Those hands, which always stopped on her neck, did not exert any force after all. And his face, slowly, pressed on her face, the skin gradually lost its temperature, and finally became cold and stiff.
That's how he died on her.
If he was still alive, this might not have happened.
If there is another life, he also remembers the past, what will happen when we meet again?
she thought, asking herself.
…
Luoshen exhausted the last wisp of air in his lungs, and his chest burst with pain.
An undercurrent came and rushed her out.
She is like a kite with a broken string, floating involuntarily in this dark and boundless world trapping her.
At this moment, she remembered.
remembered everything.
Late spring flowers and moon, spring river tide.
The woman who sank into the river with infinite despair and sadness in the frantic screams of the chasing soldiers behind her!
She doesn't want to die.
In this life, she can't die!
She wants to live and live to meet her husband, the man named Li Mu who married her!
She still has countless things she wants to ask him clearly.
The desire to survive has never been like this moment, like a raging fire, burning her whole body instantly.
Luoshen suddenly opened his eyes, raised his head, and tried his best to find the hazy light and shadow above his head.
She knew that there was hope for life.
Just like a newborn baby, she was floating in the water, relying on her own instinct, when she tried to lean towards the light and shadow, she felt that her hair and collar were suddenly caught by something, and she took her and accelerated. Go up.
Finally, her eyes lit up, revealing the water.
The fresh air that she longed for rushed into her nose and mouth.
She was lying wet on the rocks on the shore, coughing violently, and she kept weeping as she coughed.
The flashes in her mind seemed to be dreams, clear, a previous dream about her and Li Mu.
But in Luoshen's heart, he clearly knew that it was not a dream, it really wouldn't be just a dream.
All that is true.
A long, long time ago, she used to be Li Mu's bride.
Now she understands why Li Mu insisted on going his own way in this whole life, even if thousands of people pointed it out, he must marry her as his wife.
Why that night, when watching the tide in Jingkou Jinshan, he told her that he would do something in the future, and on that day, the whole world might become his enemy.
"But you remember, in the future, even if the world is against me, I will not hurt you and your parents."
She also finally understood why he disliked Jiankang so much.
For him, how many red dust and purple streets, rich and magnificent, but it is just a tomb that once buried him and his ambitions.
Everything he had was lost in the cup of wine on the wedding night.
And that glass of wine was given to him by none other than himself!
He never had any revenge or harm to her, as it used to be. This life, even more so.
Suppressed the blood feud, smoothed the edge, silently forbeared, and retreated step by step. He bowed his head to Xiao Shi for her sake.
But those people, who had given him that glass of wine with her, still didn't let him go.
As long as he is willing, he can call the wind and call the rain without any scruples. In this Southern Dynasty, and even in this world, who can stop him from reaching the top?
Just because of an inadvertent encounter with Shi En when he was young, he was asked to pay such a price for two lifetimes.
Luoshen didn't know what kind of virtue, what kind of ability, and how lucky he was, to be treated like this by a man.
If there is another life, he also remembers the past, what will happen when we meet again?
The girl in the phantom had asked herself this question before she died.
Now, she has the answer.
…
Luoshen was lying on the bank, crying incessantly in the heart-like pain that hit him. Suddenly, her face felt hot and humid, as if something was licking her.
She raised her hazy teary eyes and saw the white tiger squatting wetly at her feet, sticking out its tongue and licking her wet tears. In the tiger's eyes, there is no hostility, only meekness.
He must have wanted to see his face too much.
At this moment, she seemed to have caught a little feeling like Li Mu in the pair of tiger eyes that were looking at her.
She had no fear, and stared at the white tiger in front of her, who had a magical relationship with her, and once again burst into tears.
"Ma'am, are you okay?"
Suddenly there was a sound of a tentative call from behind.
Luoshen stopped crying, turned his head, and saw Yang Ji and his subordinates standing there not far away, and he didn't know how long they had been standing.
They were all wet, and the corners of their clothes were still dripping with water, so they must have all jumped into the water to search for themselves.
Yang Ji cautiously watched the crying mistress and the white tiger who was the first to find her from the water and took her ashore, and was stunned by the scene in front of him.
Luoshen closed his eyes, touched his waist, confirmed that the tiger talisman was still there, raised his hand to wipe the water droplets and tears on his face, stood up from the ground, turned around and said, "I'm fine. I'll leave now, I want to Get to Chang'an as soon as possible!"
