Chapter 28: Walking a Tiger on the Street
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
He looked at Liu Tianbao, the village chief of Big Domain Village, who had walked up to him.
Qin Yang looked at him and smiled. "Don't panic, Chief Liu. Daoist Xuan Yin has already told me about what happened in Big Domain Village just now. The village is at the foot of Dragon Tiger Mountain. I won't tolerate demons and ghosts causing trouble under my nose.
"Don't worry, I'll investigate the matter of Big Domain Village to the end. If there are really demons and ghosts causing trouble, Dragon Tiger Mountain won't let it happen."
With the Celestial Master's promise, the villagers immediately felt relieved.
They were worried because things had happened too strangely.
A large number of chickens, ducks, geese, and even pigs were stolen and eaten alive, making the villagers panic.
Moreover, they were even more afraid that when the creatures that ate those animals had nothing to steal, they would target the villagers of Big Domain Village.
Most of these villagers didn't have money. Even if they wanted to move, they had nowhere to go. They couldn't possibly set up tents in the wilderness, right?
That was unrealistic.
After all, who knew what had taken away those animals?
What if the animals weren't enough, and that thing had to eat humans?
But everything was fine now. With the Celestial Master of Dragon Tiger Mountain's help, they could be safe.
When the Celestial Master took action, no demons or ghosts could get away.
Qin Yang told Village Chief Liu to take the villagers down the mountain and return to the village first. When they returned to the village, they shouldn't show any abnormal behavior. They should do what they usually did today and try not to alert the enemy.
Later, Qin Yang would bring people to Big Domain Village to investigate.
Chief Liu nodded and left with the villagers.
After Liu Tianbao left, Qin Yang returned to the Celestial Master Residence to pack up and change into plain clothes. Then, he grabbed the Blessed Gourd and led the white tiger down the mountain.
The reason why he went back to change into plain clothes was the same as before. Qin Yang didn't want to alert the enemy.
After all, Big Domain Village wasn't far from Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Anyone who lived in this area, be it humans or ghosts,
they had all heard of the thousand-year-old reputation of Dragon Tiger Mountain.
Everyone knew about the purple-robed Celestial Master from the Celestial Master Residence.
If Qin Yang swaggered down the mountain in that purple robe, it would be like telling the demons and ghosts who were causing trouble in Big Domain Village that the Celestial Master from Dragon Tiger Mountain had come to the village to catch demons.
If he were to show off like this, even the most stupid demonic ghost would run away in advance when they saw the purple robe.
Then how could he capture the demons and ghosts in Big Domain Village?
Therefore, what Qin Yang needed to do now was to enter the village quietly and investigate what had happened in the village. The most important thing was not to alert the enemy.
…
At the foot of the Dragon Tiger Mountain,
Qin Yang changed to plain clothes and took the shortcut at the back of the mountain.
Then, he walked along the road toward Big Domain Village.
Along the way, there were many passers-by and drivers.
Many people were attracted to the white tiger cub by Qin Yang's side.
After all, the white tiger that Qin Yang brought out was too big, and it looked nothing like a dog!
Be it the way it walked or the aura it emitted it was far from what dogs could compare to.
Most importantly, which breed of dog had stripes?
Several people who were also walking their dogs stopped to watch.
Someone asked, "Bro, what breed of dog is this? It doesn't look like a dog to me!"
Qin Yang held the white tiger cub and said without looking back, "It's a Labrador."
"Labrador? Does it look like this? Then what's with the stripes on its body? Are you sure this isn't a tiger?"
Qin Yang said, "What stripes? That's the color of the dye."
Qin Yang didn't want to attract any attention, so he quickly left with the white tiger cub.
However, he still underestimated how meddlesome the onlookers could be.
Soon, someone called the police.
They said that there was someone walking a tiger on the road outside Dragon Tiger Mountain.
After the police in Purple Fragrance City received the report, they immediately arranged for the police on the road near Dragon Tiger Mountain to investigate the situation.
At this moment, in Big Domain Village, a few police officers were investigating the scene where a villager reported frequent loss of chickens and ducks.
Suddenly, a police captain's phone rang. It was a call from his superior.
After hearing about the new mission assigned by the higher-ups, the captain was confused.
After hanging up the phone, he didn't know what to do.
What kind of day was it today?
Why were all these strange things happening one after another?
First, he was asked to lead a team to Big Domain Village to investigate some supernatural incident. It was said that a villager in Big Domain Village had reported the frequent loss of chickens, ducks, geese, and even pigs in the village in the past month. There was also a large amount of blood at the scene. They suspected that it was done by monsters.
However, the police captain had brought the team here to investigate the scene for half a day.
They checked all the farmers who had lost their chickens and ducks but didn't even find an unfamiliar fingerprint.
He was rather frustrated.
The higher-ups called again and said that they had received a report from a passerby. Near Big Domain Village, there was a white tiger walking on the road below Dragon Tiger Mountain.
The police captain found it ridiculous after hearing this.
What era was this?
Tigers were protected animals in Dragon Country. Ordinary people couldn't even see an ordinary tiger easily, let alone mutated white tigers.
That was a globally protected animal.
In reality, the white tiger was a variant of the Bengal tiger. Due to a genetic mutation, the original orange-black pattern had turned into a white-black pattern. Currently, there were only a few hundred of them in the world.
It was extremely precious. How could there be a white tiger on the streets of Dragon Country for people to walk?
Wasn't this nonsense? Did they know anything about science?
But the captain had no choice. The call from above had already come.
He was the closest to the crime scene, so he had no choice but to go.
The police captain had no choice but to gather his subordinates.
Soon, the other police officers who were still looking for fingerprints gathered around.
"Captain, what's going on? We haven't finished investigating this family."
The police captain said, "Stop what you're doing now. The higher-ups have given orders. There's a new report asking us to verify it at the scene. It says that someone is walking a white tiger on the road. Let's go and take a look."
Hearing the captain's words, these police officers felt that it was the most ridiculous thing.
Where did this white tiger come from in broad daylight?
In this day and age, there were all kinds of strange police reports!
The other officers asked, "Then what about here?"
The police captain said, "It's fine. It's the same when we come back. The scene can't run away anyway."
This captain didn't take the matter of Big Domain Village seriously at all.
He was an absolute materialist and didn't believe in ghosts and monsters at all. He felt that they were just superstitions.
In addition, nothing was found here, so the captain was even more unconvinced.
From the bottom of his heart, he felt that this village was probably targeted by thieves of chickens and ducks. It was just that the equipment used by the thieves was more advanced now. These villagers had never seen it before, so they panicked.
Compared to the loss of chickens and ducks in Big Domain Village, the captain felt that the matter of walking the tiger on the road was more ridiculous.
He wanted to see with his own eyes what kind of dog the so-called tiger was.
Was the guy who reported the case blind? Did he think that a large adult Labrador was a white tiger?
