[Liao Zhai] White Tiger

Bai Jingyang: "...a coward?"

Bai Zhenshan: "Yeah, when I was a child, I was often so scared that I ran up a tree and cried loudly."

Father Bai seemed to have remembered something interesting, and he laughed happily alone.

Bai Jingyang thought to himself: I am afraid that the old man turned into a real tiger and deliberately played a prank to scare people.

After Bai Zhenshan finally finished laughing, he told Bai Jingyang about the origin of his grandfather's adopted son.

It turned out that their Bai family came from the Tianhu clan of nobles in the demon world. Tracing the origin, it is said that their ancestors had bloodlines of ancient tiger-shaped beasts such as Bi An and Qiongqi. Absorbing the aura of the heavens and the earth, cultivating advanced is as easy as eating and drinking water, as if born with it, naturally the status in the demon world is extremely respected.

Ordinary goblins have to spend a hundred years to develop their wits, and it takes hundreds of years to practice transformation, but the Tianhu Clan seems to have no such shackles at all. Even the newborn cubs can transform themselves if they want to. Turning into a little baby crawling all over the ground, if he doesn't want to, he may have maintained the original tiger shape for thousands of years. In short, it all comes according to his own will.

It has to be said that this kind of powerful bloodline talent makes ordinary goblins envy and hate.

And Grandfather Bai is a stunned green tiger in his early twenties who transformed into a human form for the first time. Because he was so novel and happy at the time, he went for a walk in the human world, but he did not expect to meet the cunning Gao Zu. The emperor, a relationship has begun.

At that time, in troubled times, Emperor Gaozu was just a local official, his official position was negligible, but he was quite ambitious, and he didn't want to become a fish under the sword of others in troubled times.

Seeing Grandfather Bai's supernatural power, he tricked him into joining the army with him in order to earn a future. The dumbfounded Grandfather found it interesting, so he agreed.

Relying on the bravery of Grandfather Bai and the wisdom of Emperor Gaozu, the two cooperated tacitly and climbed up step by step. They actually emerged in this troubled world, became a force, and participated in the struggle for separatism among the heroes.

And the two get along day and night, the careless grandfather Bai is naturally full of flaws in the eyes of the careful Gaozu, and sometimes even Gaozu has to cover up and wipe the ass for the careless grandfather Bai with a headache. Later, because the exposure is too obvious, Gaozu Unable to resist asking questions, Grandpa Bai was stunned for a moment, and simply changed back to his original Tianhu form in front of Gaozu, and openly admitted that he was a monster.

Although Grandfather Bai showed no surprises, he knew in his heart that once Gao Zu showed disgust or fear in his eyes, he would leave very bachelor without a trace of nostalgia.

Fortunately, Gao Zu was by no means a human being. Seeing the big fluffy tiger with wings shining in front of him, he looked overjoyed. He rushed forward and hugged his brother, and buried his face in the fur. The two then reconciled, and their relationship became even more intimate than before, almost inseparable.

"Then what happened afterwards?" Bai Jingyang asked with relish, while gnawing on the grapes.

Before the tiger father could answer, there was a sudden loud commotion outside, mixed with the howling of tigers and the mournful chirping of birds.

The door of the room was knocked open from the outside with a "bang", and two colorful tigers walked in gracefully with a big white cockatoo flopping about in its mouth.

"Gah! Two bad big cats, help!! My wings are about to break!!"

This parrot named Archie was brought by Bai Jingyang from the west of Guangdong to the Northwest as a present. His father and brothers showed a strong interest in it when they saw it, and they played with it all day long, almost unable to put it down.

"Bah bah", Fatty let go of the parrot in his mouth, and spit out a few bird feathers. Archie rolled on the ground, looking at his wet and dusty wings, wanting to cry.

"Bad kitty, beep..."

"It's a tiger, not a cat." Er Pang gave Archie a suspicious look.

"Hmm..." Archie shivered intimidated, nodded vigorously, and continued to cry.

Bai Jingyang looked at him pitifully, and cast a spell to help Archie's wings return to clean and white. Archie was overwhelmed with gratitude, and looked at him with extra sincere and trusting eyes, completely forgetting that this pure and kind-looking little devil was the one who brought him into the terrifying world. The culprit of the "cat litter".

Big Pang and Er Pang left the "toy bird" given to them by their younger brother, and lay down on the blanket on the ground, licking their fur while pretending to be ready to listen to a story.

Bai Zhenshan picked up the big white cockatoo on the ground, and under Archie's sad and indignant expression, stroked the bird's head and grabbed the bird's wings, playing with it for a while before continuing to talk.

Heroes emerge in troubled times. Gao Zu led his grandfather Bai to fight everywhere. After decades, he finally defeated the other princes, unified the world, ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, and established the Dalei Dynasty.

Grandfather Bai, who fought the world together, was also endowed with a very high position of power. He was granted the title of "one-word side-by-side king".

Gaozu knew that Grandfather Bai was a demon and a Tianhu, but in fact he didn't care about the power of the imperial court at all, and even regarded it as a burden. He would leave sooner or later and return to the demon world. The friendship, the reason why I tried so hard to keep it.

For this reason, Gaozu was very worried. He hoped that there could be some way to tie up this beautiful tiger, at least before he died.

At that time, there was a Daoist Song Taoist who was profound in Taoism, good at divination, and able to see the secrets of heaven. He spent his whole life calculating that the Dalei Dynasty would be overthrown in a year's time. , there are many strange phenomena, the royal family is in decline, and the world is once again falling into the separatist war, but if it can get the help of a guardian beast, Dalei Dynasty still has a glimmer of life.

The great ancestor who finally created the Dalei Dynasty naturally did not want his descendants to become subjugated after one year, and it happened that Grandpa Bai was a Tianhu with noble blood among demons, so he had a plan in his mind, and he worked with Taoist Song to coax Bai Grandfather, signed the contract in a daze, and became a divine beast to protect the country, guarding Dalei Dynasty for a hundred years.

This can not only protect Da Lei Chao from death, but also restrain Grandfather Bai, killing two birds with one stone.

Grandfather Bai came back to his senses and found out that he was cheated by his good brother. He was so angry that he turned his head and ran back to the group in a fit of anger.

In the blink of an eye, Gaozu realized that he had angered Grandpa Bai away instead, and was immediately furious, panicked and flustered. He grabbed Taoist Song's white beard, and this sanctimonious and treacherous old ghost slowly told the other party that this contract could not limit the protection of the country. Freedom has a coercive effect only when the dynasty is in crisis.

It's true that a mountain is higher than a mountain, and those who deceive people will always deceive them.

Gao Zu, who was swayed by Taoist Song, was immediately overwhelmed and sick in bed. In his early years, he fought everywhere, and he had countless Shen Ke's hidden diseases in his body. Now he is sixty sixty years old. Although he looks tall and strong, he is actually empty and weak inside. When he fell down, he suddenly fell ill like a mountain, and he was dying.

The angry grandfather Bai was gone forever. Gaozu lay down on the dragon bed and waited for him for three years. Finally, he couldn't hold on anymore. When he was about to die, his princes and daughters all knelt in front of him, listening The eunuch in charge of the interior read out the will, each of them showed a look of grief, both true and false.

Halfway through the reading of the edict, Gao Zu's vision was blurred, and his consciousness became weaker and weaker. He recalled his military life in his mind, but found that the only stupid tiger he had ever had a heart to heart with, and who he regarded as a brother was not there. Beside him, seeing that he was about to die, Grandfather Bai suddenly beat the imperial guards outside like a gust of wind, and broke in.

It turned out that after he went back, he was scolded by the elders of the clan and punished to face the wall for three years. During this period, Grandpa Bai recalled his past with Gaozu, and after thinking about it, he calmed down. He felt that he would leave without saying a word. It's really a bit unkind.

You must know that the lifespan of human beings is very short. After his brother became the emperor, there were fewer and fewer people around him, and his temper became more and more bad. He has become an awkward old man. If I accidentally took a nap, decades later, my brother died of old age, and I couldn't see him for the last time, wouldn't it be a pity?

Thinking this way, after he was punished, he sneaked back to the human world again while the clan elders were not paying attention.

Gaozu tried his best to widen his eyes, thinking that it was his own hallucination, until he was grasped by those familiar hands, and the half-detached soul returned to the physical body.

He drove away all the princes, princesses, and trusted ministers, leaving only grandfather Bai and the prince who was about to succeed him in the palace.

Gao Zu took out another private edict from the hidden compartment on the dragon bed, which wrote the divination of Daoist Song and the contract with Grandpa Bai to become a beast to protect the country, ordering the prince to treat the Bai family well no matter what, and not to violate the other party's wishes. Willingness, let him do anything he doesn't want to, and keep this royal secret closely, burn the secret edict after reading it, and only tell the next emperor when he dies.

After all this was done, Gao Zu made a final request to Grandfather Bai.

Thus, Grandfather Bai changed back to his original form as a big tiger under the eyes of the prince who couldn't believe it. Gao Zu trembling slightly, buried his face in the fur, touched it before he died, and finally passed away happily and contentedly.

After the death of Gaozu, the crown prince came to the throne. He followed his father's last wish and respected Grandfather Bai, the protector of the country, so that his status in the Dalei Dynasty would rise instead of fall, and he would remain unique and honorable.

Perhaps it was because the scene of Grandfather Bai turning back into a big tiger before the death of Gaozu was so impressive. Every time the new emperor saw him, he was extra cautious in his words and deeds, like a little mouse who is only afraid of cats, for fear of angering him. The opponent will be swallowed in one bite.

After the death of Gaozu, Grandpa Bai lost the good brother who was so indulgent to him, and felt that the human world became boring.Lying in the palace given to him, basking in the sun and sleeping late all day long, doing nothing all day long.

People outside are spreading the rumor that Grandpa Bai is a scheming veteran, as a veteran of the former court, he deliberately avoided the late emperor's sharp edge, but he didn't know that the late emperor was still trembling when he saw him.

Grandfather Bai is about 20 years younger than Gaozu. Speaking of it, in the eyes of ordinary people, he is a middle-aged man in his 40s. He used to not mention it when he was fighting, but now he has become the king of the word side by side, but he has never married and has no children. , some people with long tongues couldn't help gossiping.
