Chapter 47 The Value of the Demonic Tiger
The huge corpse of the tiger monster lay in the ruins at the entrance of the village.
Although dead, the evil aura surrounding him is still frightening.
Many children did not dare to get close. Even if they did, adults would cover their eyes for fear that they would have nightmares at night.
"What a big tiger. What did he eat to grow so big?"
"What do you think? What does the tiger come to the village to eat?"
"people?"
"I heard that humans have spiritual energy and are the favorite food of mountain spirits and wild monsters, so various monsters often come down the mountain..."
The villagers whispered.
In this world, there are many widely circulated sayings.
For example, all things are born with spirits, and the "human" race is loved by heaven and earth and is one of the most spiritual races.
According to legend, Huang Pizi seeks the title in order to take away the spirituality of some people.
There are some fox spirits and ghosts who like to haunt humans, also in order to absorb the spirituality of people.
Of course, these are just rumors.
"No matter how big this tiger is, it doesn't matter? It was still beaten to death by Master Chu!"
"Yes, Mr. Chu is really powerful. It would be great if that boy of mine was half as good as Mr. Chu."
"Just dream!"
The villagers have changed their minds.
The "A Liang" from the past remains in their memories.
Standing in front of everyone now is the young and powerful Mr. Chu.
The second uncle and the second aunt will not change their words, after all, they are members of their own family.
"A-Liang, is this tiger demon really dead?"
The second uncle looked at the corpse of the tiger demon and felt the astonishing evil aura. He couldn't help but feel frightened, fearing that it might come back to life.
Chu Liang patted the tiger demon's head and said with a smile: "It's dead. It's a thorough death. Second uncle, you can feel it."
"Feel it?"
The second uncle swallowed his saliva and felt a little frightened.
After hesitating for a moment, he plucked up the courage to be the first to walk towards the body of the tiger demon, reaching out and touching the fur on its back.
It can be seen that his rough hands are still trembling slightly.
"This... this leather is really good. It's more comfortable to touch than fox skin."
"It's natural!"
Chu Liang said with a smile: "Second uncle, this tiger demon is full of treasures. Just this piece of skin can be sold for at least one hundred taels of silver!"
"One hundred taels?"
Hearing this astonishing number, the second uncle's hands shook.
The surrounding villagers all stared at the tiger demon with their eyes widened, as if they were seeing a golden mountain.
One hundred taels!
They had never seen so much silver in their lives.
This is still just the skin of the tiger demon.
As Chu Liang said, the tiger demon does have a lot of valuable treasures.
In addition to the skin, there are also flesh and blood, tiger bones, tiger gall, tail, etc. Moreover, this is a male tiger. There is a part that can be soaked in wine and used as medicine. It is the favorite of the gentlemen of the wealthy families in the county.
A rough calculation shows that this tiger demon is worth at least one thousand five hundred taels!
"It's a pity that he was beaten to death. If he could be captured alive, the value would be even higher." Mr. Hu endured the pain and walked over, saying as he walked.
"Master Hu!"
"Hello, Mr. Hu!"
The villagers all made way for him.
Mr. Hu walked closer and continued: "If we capture him alive and bring him to the Martial League, this tiger monster can sell for two thousand taels or even more."
"Oh?" Chu Liang looked at him.
"The blood of monsters can be used as medicine."
Mr. Hu explained: "The energy source of living monsters continuously provides monster blood, so their value is higher than that of dead monsters... This is only part of what I know, and there may be other values."
"Yeah, that's true."
Chu Liang remembered the blood-tonifying ointment he had taken. The ointment contained the fishy smell of monster blood.
"But let's just die. This tiger demon is too fierce, so it's best to die."
Mr. Hu sighed and reached out to touch the tiger demon's fangs.
This tiger demon is actually only equivalent to the strength of a human warrior who can condense a stream of energy and blood. However, it has rough skin and thick flesh and is good at fighting. It is difficult for an ordinary warrior of energy and blood to deal with it.
That is to say, it was unlucky and met Chu Liang.
"If I could cure my hidden wounds, I wouldn't be so embarrassed when facing this tiger monster." Mr. Hu felt a little regretful, only regretting that he didn't have enough money when he was learning martial arts.
As he spoke, he waved to Butler Hu in the crowd.
"Hu Er, come here!"
"coming!"
Butler Hu's heart skipped a beat, and he had a bad premonition.
Before that, he relied on his status as the Hu family's housekeeper to show off to Chu Liang, and even threatened Chu Liang in public.
Now Chu Liang has become a master, even more powerful than Mr. Hu.
"Master called me over, shouldn't he want to leave me to Chu Liang?"
When he thought of this, Butler Hu's legs felt a little weak, and he couldn't stop sweating on his back. He felt regretful and afraid in his heart.
If he had known this earlier, he should have been more polite to Chu Liang.
"I should have thought of it earlier. At that time, the master was reluctant to take action against Chu Liang. He was obviously wary!" Butler Hu's face turned pale as he recalled the situation some time ago.
How would Chu Liang deal with him?
He squeezed out of the crowd, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, tried his best to put on a humble smile, bent over and ran to Master Hu, and said in a low voice: "Master, I'm here."
"Kneel down, Master Chu!" Master Hu shouted.
"yes!"
Butler Hu trembled all over and felt chills all over his body. He gritted his teeth and walked to Chu Liang and knelt down with a plop.
Seeing this scene, all the villagers understood that the days when the Hu family dominated the village were over.
From then on, the Chu family was the overlord of Qingshi Village.
"Chu Liang, Hu Er has offended you a lot in the past and made you dissatisfied. Now you can deal with him as you like." Mr. Hu bowed his hand to Chu Liang.
"random?"
"yes……"
Mr. Hu paused for a moment and then continued: "But after all, he has worked for my Hu family for many years. If you can spare his life, I will be very grateful."
"good."
Chu Liang's expression was dull. He didn't take such a small person to heart at all.
In fact, he turned a deaf ear to all the threats that Butler Hu had made to him before.
However, this guy has bad conduct and it would be good to teach him a lesson.
"Crack!"
There was a crisp sound, and Butler Hu's right arm was bent on the spot.
He screamed, his face turned pale in pain, he was sweating profusely, his whole face was distorted, and his body couldn't stop shaking.
But he quickly gritted his teeth and endured the severe pain, kowtowing to Chu Liang.
"Thank you, Mr. Chu, for sparing your life! Thank you, Mr. Chu..."
Chu Liang nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Mr. Hu stepped forward, kicked Butler Hu in the body, and said coldly: "Go back, don't embarrass yourself here!"
"Yes! Yes! Thank you, sir!"
Butler Hu was grateful and understood that Master Hu was asking him to go back and set the bones quickly.
By repairing the broken bone in a short period of time, and supplementing it with ointment, there is a chance that it will grow back in the future. Although it will not be as perfect as it was before the break, it will at least be usable.
In full view of everyone, Butler Hu covered his broken arm and ran towards the Hu family mansion despite the severe pain.
Butler Hu glanced at his house, turned to Chu Liang and said, "Chu Liang, the Hu family's house is on a piece of land with the best feng shui in the village. If you need it, I will ask the Hu family to move out immediately."
"No need."
Chu Liang shook his head. The feng shui of such a small village was not much better no matter how good it was.
He didn't have much thought about the Chu family mansion.
As long as there is a place for him to practice martial arts and a room to sleep and rest.
