Cannibalism

Yuanshou Flower God gently moved Xie Sheng's arm away, walked to the edge of Chenyou Lake, and looked at the reflection of the lake to adjust his appearance.After a while, Xie Sheng followed, raised his arms and stretched his waist: "This sleep is really comfortable, it is indeed the God Realm that swallows the essence of the sun and the moon."

The young man was combing his hair facing the lake, Xie Sheng couldn't help but take a few more glances: "I was in a hurry when I came out, and I didn't tell my family that it's time to go back to Tianyan Mountain now."

Yuanshiren asked: "You came to Yuanshou Mountain all the way, do you have nothing to tell me? Just sleep and leave?"

While tidying up his clothes, Xie Sheng said, "Actually, I came because I ran into something during the day and couldn't wait to tell you about it. I met an iron-eating beast on Kongwang Mountain, and he came here with his master on his back. Donghai is looking for an immortal. Guess who is that immortal?"

The boy thought that Xie Sheng hadn't woken up yet when he heard his incoherence.

He asked, "Who?"

"It's you." Xie Sheng grabbed a piece of green grass from the ground, and swept the tip of the boy's nose back and forth twice, "The owner of the iron-eating beast is already an octogenarian, and knowing that his time is numbered, he wants to see him again The god I saw in the East China Sea when I was young. The old man just saw you during the day, and the iron-eating beast came to me at night and said that his master had passed away on a crane."

Yuan Shiren was in a fog when he heard it, and he didn't forget to reach for the grass that Xie Sheng used to tease him.It wasn't until Xie Sheng said the last sentence that Yuan Shiren remembered Xie Sheng's old line of punishing evil and promoting good.

The first time Xie Sheng came to Yuanshou Mountain was because he wanted to catch his demon flower, so this second time... the young man pulled the weeds and said righteously: "I didn't kill this old man, and I never killed him." I have never been to the East China Sea."

Xie Sheng was taken aback for a moment, how would he know that the other party thought of this level, he laughed: "You misunderstood, I didn't mean to accuse you. The old man has fulfilled his life's wish, it is the end of his life, not someone's intentional murder."

Tobishiren was stunned: "Then what do you mean when you say you saw me?"

Xie Sheng rolled up his sleeves: "Don't worry, the thing is like this—"

Therefore, Xie Sheng spent half a stick of incense explaining the ins and outs of the future and the flower god Yuanshou in detail.

After hearing this, Yuan Shiren was quite emotional: "I didn't expect that I had such a relationship with this old man, but it's a pity that I didn't know about it before he was alive, otherwise I would definitely go to see him in person."

"Absolutely not." Xie Sheng pulled his sleeve, "An immortal must show a sense of alienation in front of people, and this alienation needs to be displayed with a distance. If you really show up in front of Mr. Lin, maybe he will If you don’t believe in you anymore, the wishes and beliefs that supported him to live are very likely to disappear.”

Tobishi Jin frowned, wondering: "Is that so?"

Xie Sheng nodded: "Yes. In the same way, you'd better not show up in the village under the name of Iris Flower God. The pious hearts of the villagers contain perfect illusions about everything about you. Your fear and yearning for divine power make your image extremely tall. If they find that your appearance is no different from that of the boy next door, how can they continue to respect you."

Seeing that he spoke clearly and logically, Tobishiren nodded: "Thank you for your advice."

Xie Sheng walked around Chenyou Lake and said, "Stop talking. I have to go."

The boy called to him: "I'll go out with you."

The two came to Yuanshou Mountain.

The sun was shining brightly above his head, Xie Sheng squinted his eyes, and picked a peach from the tree casually: "After sleeping all night, the sun has risen."

"Huh?" The boy reminded him, "It wasn't one night, it was one day and two nights. We slept until the third morning."

Xie Sheng's hair suddenly fluffed up: "What? We slept until the third day?"

"That's right, I can sense the passage of time outside in the God Realm." Hitoshi Toshiro saw that he was anxious, and asked, "Are you in a hurry?"

"Yes!" Xie Sheng judged the time by looking at the sunlight above his head, "Actually, it's not an urgent matter... Today is my eleventh sister's wedding day, and it's still early, so I can get back in time. But my family didn't know that I ran out, they If you know that I haven't returned all day, you will definitely worry about me."

Xiao Huashen understood his situation: "Then go home quickly."

After Xie Sheng said his goodbyes, he immediately returned home with an auspicious cloud.He stepped on the clouds, looked down at the young man under the clouds, and thought of leaving like this, he suddenly felt a palpitation of scratching his ears and cheeks.

He stopped Xiangyun and asked, "God doesn't need to spend the whole day in the God Realm. Would you like to go with me to Eleventh Sister's wedding banquet?"

The young man looked up at him from below, and looked at him with round eyes: "If you don't mind bothering me, then I—"

Xie Sheng hurriedly said: "Of course I don't mind, I'll help you up."

Xie Sheng stretched out his hand and pulled the mountain god of Yuanshou Mountain onto his auspicious cloud.

Yuanshiren stood beside Xie Sheng and looked down at the ground under his feet.It was the first time he observed Yuanshou Mountain in such a posture, and his heart was quite excited.

Xie Sheng pulled the young man to his chest, and leaned his nose against the other's bun: "Hold on, let's set off."

The auspicious clouds rose rapidly, and Yuanshou Mountain gradually became as small as an ant, and after that, even the ant could not be seen.

Flying on auspicious clouds can travel thousands of miles, and after a while, the two came to the foot of Tianyan Mountain.

Today Tianyan Mountain is decorated very festively, and the intersection in front of the gate at the foot of the mountain is replaced by two rows of pink camellias.On the back slope of the mountain, there is a lake about the same size as Chenyou Lake. The rocks beside the lake are colorful with falling flowers and camellia petals.

Xie Sheng swept off all the petals on a stone by the lake, and waved to the young man who was looking around: "This is Yanshan Lake. You sit here and wait, there are many guests today, so you have to show the invitation. First go up the mountain and bring it for you."

"Well, I'll wait for you." Tobishiren sat down on the rock obediently.

"Today's wedding, you have to wear a red dress." Xie Sheng blew on Yuan Shiren, and he changed into a black and red robe.After the change, Xie Sheng looked the boy up and down with satisfaction, "That's right, this set is just right. I'll be right back, so don't run around."

After saying goodbye to Shenhua, Xie Sheng rushed to the room of the tenth brother Xie Nan.

There was no sign of Brother Ten in the room, but there was a black-eyed bamboo bear chopping firewood in the yard.

The iron-eating beast stood on two legs, swung the ax with its round arms, and split the firewood in two skillfully with a bang.

"Yong Chuan?" Xie Sheng was curious, "Why are you chopping firewood here?"

And it's not a humanoid.

Yong Chuan's voice was cool and cold, which didn't match his furry appearance at all: "Your brother said that our iron-eating beasts have too much appetite, and he didn't want to take me in for nothing. He asked me what I would do, and when I said chopping firewood, he took it. A bundle of firewood for me to chop."

Xie Sheng watched his movements of chopping firewood smoothly, and he became more and more impressed with the lazy iron-eating beasts."Did you tell him what I did?" he asked.

Yong Chuan said: "I told him that you went to meet a beautiful woman."

How did Xie Sheng know that the other party answered so frankly: "You promised to keep it secret for me."

"You also promised me to come back the next morning." Yong Chuan continued to chop with ax one after another, "Because you didn't come back, your brother thought I was greedy and asked me to chop firewood."

Now, Xie Sheng couldn't argue.He had no choice but to say: "I'm going to ask my mother for an invitation. I want to take someone up the mountain to attend Eleventh Sister's wedding banquet."

Yong Chuan paused: "A beauty in a tryst?"

"You misunderstood." Xie Sheng smiled, "There was no beauty in the beginning. What's more, you have seen this person before."

"I have seen?"

Yong Chuan recalled the friends he met in the bamboo forest in Shudi, and he couldn't think of anyone who could know Xie Sheng.

Yuanshou Flower God sat on a rock, watching a few little tiger demons playing hide-and-seek on the opposite side of Yanshan Lake.

A tiger demon boy covered his eyes with a festive red cloth, and shouted: "I'm going to start counting! When I count to ten, I'll catch you! One, two, three..."

The other dolls immediately scattered and found a good place to hide.

Tigers have a keen sense of smell, so the difficulty of hide-and-seek is higher than that of human children.The territory they play in is bigger and wider, and the tiger demon who is in charge of capturing must also be blindfolded all the way when looking for it, relying entirely on one nose.

A child bypassed this large lake and hid under the magnolia tree next to Toshijin.

"...eight, nine, ten!"

"I started grabbing!"

The blindfolded boy smelled the companion next to Toshiro Jin from a long distance, and followed the smell to touch him.

"Mu Mu, I'm going to catch you." The boy smiled and threw himself at Yuan Shiren, sniffing his sleeve, "Eh? It's not Mu Mu, it's... Xie Sheng!"

As soon as he smelled the smell of "Xie Sheng", the little tiger demon stopped playing hide-and-seek and jumped back into the form of a little tiger. He ran around Yuanshiren, his tail twirling, The bulging tiger head shook, and shook off the red cloth all at once.

He took a closer look—dumbfounded.

It wasn't Xie Sheng, it was a young man he had never seen before.

Mu Mu, who was hiding behind Shenhua, ran out, clapped her hands and said, "Haha, you lost, you got the wrong person."

"I'm not mistaken." The little tiger demon didn't believe in evil, "He smells like Xie Sheng, if you don't believe me, smell it!"

Mu Mu nodded: "I know, it's because he smells like Xie Sheng that I came here to confuse you."

The fur on the little tiger's back stood up: "This is impossible."

Mu Mu looked very openly: "Sometimes my mother smells like Daddy, so why can't he smell like Xie Sheng?"

"..."

Hearing the two little tigers talking loudly there, Jin Shi also sniffed his own sleeve curiously.

Xie Sheng smelled so strong on him that even Xie Sheng's acquaintances mistook him?
