Cannibalism

On the way back to the God Realm, Yuanshiren passed through Nanyue Hengshan Mountain.

On Hengshan Mountain, there are jagged rocks and lush green grass, so the flower god who rarely goes out flies a little lower, so that he can overlook the beautiful scenery of Hengshan Mountain.When volley flew over the top of the mountain, Tobishiren suddenly heard a conversation coming from below.

He leaned over and looked through the misty clouds, and saw two gods who were talking.

"Brother Frog, where did the spiritual veins of Shenzhou move to this year? By next month, the Weizhou that enshrines me should have a harvest. I have to go to the spiritual veins to fetch some spiritual grass for them to nourish the land, so that they can bless them." They have a good harvest this fall."

Frog God waved his hand with a cattail fan: "The location of this year's spirit vein has not been determined, otherwise I would have brought back the spirit grass. Brother Feng, don't panic, I guess the trace of the spirit vein will appear soon, and it won't be hidden for long."

Bee God sighed distressedly: "Oh, the common people have worshiped me a lot this year, if they can't get back the spiritual grass, there will be no good harvest, and if they get angry and don't worship me again next year, it will be bad..."

"Brother Feng is really worrying too much." Frog God tried to persuade him, "Who doesn't know that the people in Weizhou are the most devout. Even on days when there is no need to worship, the temple dedicated to you is full of incense and never stops. How can the people of Weizhou forget the blessings they have received in the past hundreds of years just because of a mere autumn harvest. Brother Feng, do you think I am right?"

The Bee God swished into the form of a bee, and "buzzed" around the Frog God for half a circle: "Brother Frog has considered it very carefully. It's me who got into a corner."

At this point in the conversation between the two gods, they suddenly saw a young man coming from behind the strange rock on the top of the mountain.To this young man, he looked about sixteen or seventeen years old. He was wearing a robe with a ripped neckline and a simple bun with a wooden hairpin on his head. The luster in his eyes was bright and clear. appearance.If the two gods hadn't been aware of the divine breath, I'm afraid that a child from some family purposely and secretly wore a robe thrown away by the adults and ran out to climb the mountain.

Frog God smiled politely: "Excuse me, this is..."

"Hi, both of you." Yuan Shiren bowed, "I am the Flower God on Yuanshou Mountain, this is the first time I am out of the mountain, passing by here I overheard you two talking about the spiritual veins that nourish the land, I don't know what it is?"

"It seems that the Flower God must have just ascended to God not long ago." The Bee God changed back to human form and stroked his knotted beard, "The so-called spiritual vein is a blessed cave that only the gods can enter. There are many spiritual grasses used to nourish the land, called Qiongjiang wood. Crush it and pour the juice on the enshrined land to make the land soft and fertile. Just one plant can increase the harvest by three-tenths [-]. So we also call this spiritual vein Qiongye Spiritual Vein.”

Tobishi Jin asked in surprise: "Is there such a magical herb? I never knew it before."

Frog God chuckled: "This kind of Fuze Dongtian is actually a god realm formed by the gathering of incense for gods on the land of Shenzhou. Spirit veins will appear in different places every year, and each god can only enter once. As for the ability to bring out How much fine pulp wood is the number of offerings you have received this year."

Yuanshiren: "So that's the case, thank you two seniors. So where is this year's spiritual vein? Right now I happen to be free, and I can bring Qiongjiangmu back to Yuanshou Mountain together."

"Oh. We are also talking about this." Frog God shook the cattail fan in his hand, "It stands to reason that every year in the late spring, we can sense the location of the Qiongye Spirit Vein, but this year is almost autumn, and there is no Seeing the shadow of the spirit veins of fine nectar. If the harvest time has not yet appeared, this year's harvest will be much smaller than in previous years. I'm not a big deal, I just feel sorry for Brother Feng."

"Brother Bee?" Tobishiren turned his gaze to the face of God Bee.

"The God of Flowers doesn't know something." Bee God said with a sad face, "According to the number of incense burners that are enshrined, I can gather three saplings from the spiritual veins every year, so the harvest can be more than double the original harvest. But if If there is no spirit grass this year, the harvest of the people will be reduced by more than half. After autumn, they will probably not continue to worship me as a god."

The Frog God patted the Bee God's shoulder with his cattail fan: "Hey Brother Bee, you are here again. Don't be so pessimistic, maybe after a few days, the entrance of the spirit vein will appear? Besides, you people in Weizhou don't like it. They all rely on crops for their livelihood, and many families keep bees.”

The knots on Bee God's beard suddenly became more and more: "But food is the foundation of survival, and honey alone won't work without food."

Seeing the bee god's tangled appearance, Yuanshiren roughly understood in his heart what kind of magical herbal medicine Qiong Sorrel is.

He humbly asked for advice: "Then when the entrance of the spirit vein is opened, what should I do to perceive it?"

Frog God explained: "When the spirit vein opens, it will send a special breath to all parts of China. The Flower God has to go to the spirit vein once. If you are familiar with its breath, you will not be able to feel it until it opens again next year."

Tobishiren frowned: "Then..."

"How about it. Flower God tell me a place, and when the entrance of the spirit vein appears this year, we will personally notify you."

Yuanshiren was very grateful: "I live in Yuanshou Mountain."

Frog God touched his head and asked, "Yuanshou Mountain? Where is that? You have to tell me the exact location."

Yuan Shiren was disturbed, he was traveling far away for the first time, and he had never passed Hengshan Mountain, even he himself had to go home by smell.So he replied, "This... I can't make it clear for a while."

Bee God suggested: "Brother Frog, I think this little Flower God has just succeeded to the position of God, and needs to be imparted knowledge from the seniors. You and I happen to be fine at the moment, why don't we go back to Yuanshou Mountain with him."

"Tsk, Brother Feng's suggestion is very good." Frog God shook his cattail fan and nodded, looking at Yuanshi Ren with kind eyes, "Little brother, then let's go with you."

Tobishijin bowed and thanked again and again: "Thank you two seniors."

The three set off together, and Frog God and Bee God followed behind Toshiro Jin.

The Frog God introduced himself: "I am the tiger-striped frog god from Liuguo Village in the north of Hengshan Mountain. My name is Ni Xian. Brother Feng is the god of Weizhou in the south of Hengshan Mountain. My name is Chengfeng. I don't know what to call the little brother?"

"My surname is Yuan." The Flower God turned around and said, "My name is Yuanshiren."

"Yuan is a human? That's a good name." Bee God stretched out all his beards and nodded in praise. "It literally shows an attitude of being a god who is always close to the common people."

"Huh?" Yuanshiren pondered for a while, but he didn't expect that the name Xie Sheng gave him had such a meaning.

After a while, the three of them arrived at Yuanshou Mountain.Frog God Ni Xian looked at the lush and lush scenery in the mountains, and said with emotion: "Yuan Shou Mountain is located in a remote place. It is not as grand as Mount Heng, but it has a gentle and beautiful temperament."

Yuan Shiren liked his description very much, and smiled: "This is it. If you use the technique of Zongyun, you can reach Mount Heng in less than half a stick of incense.

Bee God pointed to a depression and said strangely: "Brother Frog, look, there is a frog here, it doesn't look much like you."

Frog God Ni Xian coughed twice: "That's a toad, not a frog."

"Oh……"

Yuan Shiren brought two seniors to Yuanshou Village.It is noon, the sun is shining, and it is the time for the villagers to move outside the house.There are people coming and going on the only street in the village, there are hunters with bows on their backs, and farmers with hoes in their hands.

Ni Xian's cattail fan was waving in his hand, and he didn't stop for a moment: "Flower God, you people here look so content with themselves, I'm so envious."

Cheng Feng echoed: "This place has not been affected by the hustle and bustle of the world, the folk customs are simple, and the mood is peaceful. I see smiles on the faces of these villagers. Their ordinary life must be ordinary and happy."

The three of them gradually moved to the Yuanshou Temple.

A bunch of freshly harvested red peppers hung in front of Yuanshou Temple.Pushing open the temple door, you can see that the whole temple is accessible from front to back. Since the kite head sacrifice day has just passed, it has undergone a major cleaning operation.

"Flower God is blessed. Most of the houses in your village are simple and simple. The temple that can be dedicated to you is so magnificent." The Frog God walked in, lit three incense sticks, and worshiped the shrine of the iris flower, and then Stab the incense foot into the incense burner.

Being enshrined by a god for the first time, Yuan Shiren broke out in a cold sweat: "Senior, I've been tortured."

"It's all right. It's proof that I'm here."

At this time, a woman hurriedly ran outside the temple.The woman was holding a bunch of melons and fruits in her hands, and her forehead was covered with sweaty hair.After arranging the melons and fruits on the altar, she knelt down on the futon with a plop, and her head hit the ground with a "slap" sound.

"Wuuu... I beg Shenhua to save my Wuwei. May Shenhua save his life and let him survive this calamity of life and death."

Yuan Shiren remembered that there was a young man named "Wu Wei" in the village.Wu Wei is a devout Iris flower believer. He used to be weak and sick, but after this year's sacrificial day, his body recovered.Tobishiren didn't expect that the divine power could be maintained for such a short time.

He said to the other two gods: "I want to go and find out the situation."

At this moment, Wu Wei was lying at home, his complexion was dark and pale, his eyes glowed with a dull light, and he looked even more serious than when he was seriously ill before.

A little furry boy stood beside him.Hitoshi Tobishi remembered, this is the kid who bombed him in the last firecracker.The child's eyes were already red from crying, and he wiped away his snot and tears with his sleeve.

The three gods stood in front of Wu Wei, and Ni Xian shook his head first: "Oh, he is nearing the end of his lifespan, and even the best panacea in the world may be useless."

Cheng Feng followed with a sigh: "Poor little brother, he will pass away at such a young age."

"It's good to enter reincarnation early. Next time you reincarnate with a healthy body, you won't have to suffer from illnesses."

"What Brother Frog said is true."

Wu Wei's eyes were dull, and his pupils seemed to be about to slacken.He stretched out his sweet and dry lips with the tip of his tongue, cleared his throat twice, and said with breath: "Shenhua... After I die, can I go to your side to worship you?"

At first, Yuan Shiren thought that his invisibility technique had been seen through, but when he saw that Wu Wei's eyes were not looking at him, he realized that he was talking to himself.

"Cough cough! Cough cough..." Wu Wei coughed up and down, and his weak bones seemed to be coughed away by him. He stretched out a hand, "Shen Hua, Wu, Wu Wei may not be able to serve in this lifetime. is you……"

Yuan Shiren sat in front of the bed, trying to shake Wu Wei's hand, but he couldn't touch it when he was invisible.

Wu Wei felt his internal organs start to ache, and suddenly grabbed the quilt tightly, holding back the pain, and spat out a mouthful of black blood. He gritted his teeth, and stubbornly licked all the blood from his mouth.

"Wuuu! Brother Wuwei!" Kneeling on the bedside, the hairy boy grabbed his hand and burst into tears. "The aunt said she went to the temple to burn incense, and she will be back in a while. Big brother, you must hold on!"

"I, I can't go to see Shenhua like this, I have to clean up..." Wu Wei's eyes finally cleared up, and he was about to sit up holding the bloody quilt, "Xie Xiashi told me that Shenhua loves it." Eat peaches, if I eat a few more, I can go to serve Shenhua, I have eaten a lot of peaches in the past few days, I don't know if it is useful..."

"Brother Wu Wei, don't say silly things, you will recover, and you will live to 99 in the future, and your children and grandchildren will be full... woo woo..." Seeing that Wu Wei's hand softened, Mao Boy quickly supported his arm, "Don't give up! Daddy elder brother!"

"I..." Wu Wei felt unable to move his whole body, and was so tired that he wanted to close his eyes.

"Meow--"

Just then, a cat meowed from outside.

A yellow civet cat jumped down from the window sill, walked to the bed, and stopped in front of Wu Wei.It stretched out its front paws, and put its round palm on the back of Wu Wei's hand.

"This is..." Wu Wei looked forward, but he couldn't settle down no matter what.

It turned out that he was already blind.

The hairy boy said in surprise: "Big brother, I recognize it! It is a yellow cat you rescued a few days ago, and you told me that you secretly cut off a fish tail for it to eat."

When the yellow cat heard this, it suddenly withdrew its paw, looking sad.

"Yes... I saved a yellow cat." Wu Wei calmed down, lay down on the bed safely, and said with relief, "That's Daxia Xie's cat... I still want to see it again in the future. Feed it some dried fish..."

"Unfortunately, I will be...not..."

"No chance……"

For an extremely long period of time afterward, the room was eerily silent.

——There is no more text.

Wu Wei closed his mouth and closed his eyes.

The blood stain on the chin was the only bright color on his face, and the blue-black eyes became more terrifying.

The dry lines on the lips have been soaked with blood.

"Big Brother!" The hairy boy cried bitterly, "Big Brother! Woooooo..."

He cried, "Uncle! Madam! Brother Wuwei is dead!"

The yellow cat jumped onto the window sill on the other side, looked back, and then left.
