Cannibalism

"Little Flower God, why did you come out so fast." Ni Xian followed behind the yellow cat, "I thought you would mourn him by his bedside for a while."

The yellow cat rolled in the air, and the white mist spread around, turning into a boy.Hitoshi Tobishi touched his cheek and asked, "Isn't it blooming?"

"What?" Cheng Feng didn't understand, "The flower bone... bloomed?"

"No, I'm afraid that if I put on a dilapidated cat body, the human form will also be torn apart." Tobishiren explained, "My cat body is already damaged. I managed to maintain it with spiritual power for a while, and now it's gone. It can no longer be used at all, and must be returned to the God Realm to repair it."

Ni Xian looked directly at Yuanshiren's face, and gasped: "From what the flower god said, I seem to see that you are indeed injured."

Cheng Feng's beard was tangled again: "Since that's the case, we brothers won't bother you anymore. We'll visit again when the spirit vein appears."

"Seniors, please leave now."

Bee God and Frog God summoned a cloud arc, which flew into the sky in an instant.Yuanshiren watched them leave before returning to Yuanshou God Realm through the halfway up the mountain.

Even though it was only a few days away, it seemed as long as several months.

Tobishijin walked through the narrow and long secret path, and what he saw was a dark and bright world of gods.The God Realm is full of flowers and plants, but there is no one there. It looks empty and deserted.

He walked to Chenyou Lake, soaked the cat's body, and repaired its flesh with the blessings in the lake.

For a moment, the lake water sprayed out, and it seemed to be boiling.

A layer of oily water floated on the surface of the lake, sizzling and bubbling with heat, like a boiling oil pan, with snow-white oily flowers everywhere.Tobishi Jin quickly took out the cat body and took a step back.

The oil flowers in the center of the lake are the most turbulent, the water surface slowly rotates, and snake-like curved and coherent ripples rippling from the center to the outside.

From the bottom of the center of Chenyou Lake, a lovely white rabbit rises up.The white rabbit twitched its nose and trotted towards Tobishiren.

"Binbin, are you here?"

Yuan Shiren heard the faint voice of the white rabbit, and the slight wind blew over: "Binbin..."

It crawled under the cat that Tobishiren was carrying, raised its nose and sniffed: "How did you become like this?"

The white rabbit finally saw the hand holding the "yellow cat", and looked up along the arm.It called out in surprise: "It's you!"

Immediately, the hair on the whole body stood up, two red eyes stared at Jin Tobishiro, and the hare lips turned upward viciously.

It jumped back into the lake, with both ears retracted.When sinking into the lake, a hot mist was rising from the whole body of the white rabbit, and the ghostly voice was hoarse and depressed:

"I know the secret of this village—"

"I know the secret of this mountain—"

"I know your secret—you—"

The steaming oil flowers gradually submerged the white rabbit's body.

Tobimuro Jin turned over and sat up.

He wiped the sweat from his forehead, and the thick robe wrapped him in sweat.

Tobimuro Jin quickly turned his head and looked down at the lake.

The entire Chenyou Lake was completely quiet, with no waves on the surface of the lake, and even the shadows of the trees growing around on the lake surface did not move at all.

It turned out that he fell asleep just now, and had a weird dream when he fell asleep.

Where is there a boiling pan of oil.

The cat's body has been repaired, and his injuries are almost healed.He could sense the passage of time in the God Realm—three full days had passed since the last time he was conscious.

"Flower God. Little Brother Flower God!"

Ni Xian's voice transmission echoed over the barrier: "Where are you?"

"This year's Qiongye Spirit Vein has appeared. Flower God, we are here to pick you up."

Tobishijin hurriedly opened a gap and got out.He flew to the foot of the mountain, and sure enough, he saw the neatly dressed Bee God and Frog God.

"Let's go." Ni Xian held a brand new cattail fan and said with a smile, "The entrance of this year's spiritual vein finally appeared, on the reef in the East China Sea."

East China Sea……

Tobishi Jin was surprised: "Such a coincidence?"

Cheng Feng finally smoothed his beard this time: "What a coincidence? Is Huashen going to the East China Sea right now?"

"Today is... June [-]th, and it's still four days away from June [-]th." Yuan Shiren became happier as he counted, "How long can the entrance of the spirit vein last?"

"About [-] to [-] days." Seeing his excited appearance, Ni Xian raised his eyebrows because of the infection, "We brought the little brother to the entrance, and it's up to you to decide whether to go or stay."

Bee God nodded: "If you still have important matters in the East China Sea, you can go in after finishing them."

"Okay. Let's go."

The three of them came to the top of the East China Sea just as the sun was setting.

With the shawls of the sunset and the rolling waves, they walked on the warm sea breeze, and after a while, they arrived above the entrance of the spirit vein.

There is a reef under the clouds that glows with colorful light, and there is a faint gap opening and closing, and the black and white changes in the gap, so I can't see what it looks like inside.Many ocean waves slapped towards it, and the water spray flew extremely high in the air, but unfortunately none of them could penetrate the gap and penetrate deep into the spiritual vein.

"Brother Flower God, this is the place." Bee God's beard was blown smooth and scattered by the sea breeze, "As long as you are the god who is enshrined, you can go through the entrance and pick the nectar tree."

"Everywhere here is the breath of the gods spit out by the opening and closing of the entrance, which is a unique smell in the world. After the gods are familiar with the smell here, they can use the breath to accurately find the location of the spiritual vein in the coming year." Ni Xian looked at the entrance with a smile , an unknown god has already crashed into the gap, "Little Flower God, do you feel it?"

Tobimuro Jin sniffed the smell in the air, and sniffed a few more times closer to the entrance.He shook his head frankly: "No..."

"Huh? The smell is so obvious that you haven't smelled it?" Ni Xian slapped Yuan Shiren with a cattail fan: "Smell again."

Tobimuro Jin's forehead hair fluttered back under the cattail fan.He hesitated for a while, then replied, "Only the salty smell of the sea breeze."

Ni Xian and Cheng Feng exchanged a look of disbelief.

Cheng Feng said: "Let's talk about this question later. Will Little Brother Huashen go down with us?"

"Together." Tobimuro Jin leaned in front of the opening and closing reef gap, turned his head and asked, "How to get in?"

"If you are not familiar with it for the first time, it may be difficult, and we need to help you." Ni Xian winked at Cheng Feng.The two nodded to each other, and then they focused their attention and raised one leg each.

"If there is any offense, please forgive me."

As soon as the words fell, Ren Yuanshi's eyes went dark, and he was kicked twice by the two people behind him, and his nose and eyes fell on the rocks.

Flower God cried out in pain: "Oh!"

Tobishi Jin fell on a piece of soft soil. He opened his eyes and found that he was in a chaotic world.A white flower grows all around.The flower stem is about the height of a person's calf, the petals are slender, and the root is radiant purple.

"Brother Huashen, this is Qiongjiang." Cheng Feng stood behind him and said, "Look at how much you are allowed to pick by the spirit vein."

Tobimuro Jin stood up, patted his trouser legs, and looked around.Not only are they there, but some other gods are also picking from the spiritual veins.There are boys with buns, old men with hunchbacks and white beards, and fairies with graceful and tall figures.

Kite Shiren only pulled out one Qiongjiang tree, but couldn't pull out the others.

Ni Xian picked two plants.Cheng Feng picked one more plant this time than in previous years, with a bright smile on his face, he was completely different from the mournful bee god he first met.

This fine nectar tree is very interesting, as long as it is pulled off, the long petals on it will fall, no wonder it is called "spirit grass" instead of "spirit flower".

"Brother Feng is really doing better and better." Ni Xian closed his eyes and praised, "There were three plants in the past, but this year there are four plants. It shows how much the people of Weizhou love you."

"Where. It's just that there are too many people in Weizhou." Bee God pursed his lips and smiled, and waved his hands modestly.

Although it was within Tobishi Jin's expectation that he could only pick one, he was still a little disappointed.A few zhang away, the graceful fairy daughter picked a whole basket of fine pulp trees, and he was dumbfounded.

"That's the youngest Weaver Girl among the Seven Fairies. Don't look at her being punished miserably by the Queen Mother at that time, but now she is worshiped in the world no less than the Queen Mother." The frog god Ni Xian pulled Yuan Shiren's sleeve, and quietly pointed to the Weaver Girl. "Especially on Qixi Festival, the incense for offerings is spread all over the land of China. The gods in these small places like us are hard to come by."

Cheng Feng bent his lips and said disdainfully: "Hmph, someday I will also make up a folk story for the common people to pass on by word of mouth. Maybe I will become such a widely sought after god as Taishang Laojun."

Yuan Shiren looked down at the only fine pulp tree in his hand, and said: "It is also good to be in a corner. At least the people will not be chaotic, and they will not have too much hope for the gods. After all, the higher you fly, the harder you fall. awful."

"Oh?" Frog God Ni Xian was a little curious, "What's your unique opinion, little brother?"

Yuan Shiren put the fine pulp wood in his arms, looked at the two seniors and said, "I... I don't know what to say, I just think that this fine pulp wood has advantages and disadvantages. Using more will naturally motivate the people to offer more offerings , but if one year the spirit vein really disappears, the harvest will inevitably decrease. It is okay if one plant is missing, but if three or four plants are missing, the harvest will be reduced by more than half. At this time, the people may not be able to distinguish Blame you indiscriminately."

"They will think that devotional offerings day and night will not be the result of God's blessing." Tobishiren sighed, "If the harvest was already small because of locust plagues or floods that year, then the gods may fall into a worse situation. An unforgivable situation."

Cheng Feng was so frightened that his hands trembled. He looked at the two saplings in his hand: "Then am I in danger now?"

Jin Shiyuan's tense expression relaxed, and he smiled: "Of course, this is only one of the possibilities. There will be more optimistic situations. Senior Brother Feng, you don't need to take my words to heart."

Cheng Feng swallowed his saliva, and tremblingly put away the four saplings.

The three of them picked all the nectar grass and walked out along the way they came.

At this time, three vortexes formed on the surface of the East China Sea, and Hitoshi Toshiro and the others were spit out from the vortexes and thrown into the sky.

Yuan Shiren's body was splashed with water, just about to stop in the air, suddenly a figure rushed from a distance, and caught him with a whoosh.

Yuan Shiren took a closer look and said in surprise, "Xie Sheng?!"

Xie Sheng hugged him and said: "I found that my messenger Zhu was getting closer and closer to me, so I knew it was you who came to pick the spirit grass."

"Since the little brother's friend is here, let's go first." Frog God waved to him.

Feng Shen said: "Brother Huashen, don't forget to get familiar with the breath of the entrance of the spirit vein. Next year, we will not lead the way."

"Thank you." Yuan Shiren gazed through Xie Sheng's neck, and shouted: "Goodbye, seniors."

"It's only been a few days since we met, and you've made new friends." Xie Sheng put him on the beach and looked at him carefully, "Well, your complexion has recovered pretty well."

"Why did you come here?" Yuan Shiren's clothes and hair were mostly wet, he twisted the hem of his clothes, and let his hair loose again.

Xie Sheng played with Yuanshiren's wooden hairpin back and forth in his hand: "Brother Ten said that the spirit veins of the God Realm appeared in the East China Sea today. Since there are not many gods coming to the East China Sea, let me go to pay a visit to the elders of the Octopus Clan. Octopus Clan The elder is highly respected in the East China Sea, and his house will be overcrowded in a few days. When I came to the seaside, I sensed Chuanxinzhu's direction, and I knew it was you, so I came here to wait for you."

At this time, the two suddenly heard a "bang" sound.I saw a beautiful arc jumping out of the sea surface, rolling into the air with the waves - Zhinu was spit into the sky by the vortex of the East China Sea.

Xie Sheng raised his eyebrows, put his hands behind his back, and joked: "You don't know how funny it is to see the gods spit out by Donghai one by one."

Seeing that Zhinu, who was attracting attention, also panicked like ordinary people, Yuanshiren laughed out loud: "Letting the common people come here to observe for a day is much better than going to Kongwang Mountain to bow down to a mirage."

"I see that your body is recovering well, so you don't need to go back to the God Realm to recuperate." Xie Sheng blew on the top of Yuanshiren's head, and his long hair like a black waterfall dried up in the blink of an eye. Putting up her hair in a bun, she said, "Why don't you go to the East China Sea with me and visit my master?"

Yuanshiren hadn't smelled anything unique to the spirit veins so far, so he thought he might as well come back later to have a look.

He replied: "Okay, I will accompany you."

"Here are two Jiao clan feather coats, which can keep the clothes dry and tidy in the sea. Put them on quickly." Xie Sheng seemed to have been prepared for Yuan Shiren's arrival, and even brought an extra feather coat.

After finishing their preparations, the two used the breath-holding technique that allowed them to breathe freely in the sea, and fell into the sea together.

The place near the sea is illuminated by the sunset glow, and schools of colorful fish swim back and forth under the glow.When they dived deeper, the light was much weaker.

"Where are we going now?" Tobishi Jin continued to dive in the bottomless black waters.The sound of the sea flowing upstream is ding ding dong dong in my ears, which is especially pleasant.

Xie Sheng held his arm and led the way: "Ah Ren didn't have the slightest precautions against me, and followed me down without even knowing where to go. I'm afraid I'll have to count the money for me if I sell you."

"Stop making fun of me." Tobishiren poked the back of the opponent's hand, "Where are we going?"

Xie Sheng replied solemnly: "Donghai Dragon Palace."

"Dragon, Dragon Palace?"

Having dived to a depth of several tens of miles, Hitoshi Toshiro vaguely saw a few dimly lit lights in the distance.

But couldn't go any further.There is a transparent barrier in front of it, and only sea water can pass through it.

Xie Sheng took out a stone tablet from his pocket and stuck it on the barrier: "Yes. My octopus master can be regarded as the Dragon King of the Eastern Sea in human legend."

"Dragon King?" Toshiro Jin was taken aback.

The whole body of the stone tablet emitted a burst of emerald green light, and the enchantment was opened wide, and a golden and jade-green light was emitted from it in an instant——

Shrimp soldiers and crabs in armor will line up in two rows to meet the entrance of the enchantment. They are straight and neatly arranged.One of the leaders said: "It turns out that Xie Sheng has arrived. I will report to the elders right away."

Their armors were inlaid with pearls and gold and silver ornaments, shining golden, Tobimuro's eyes had not yet adapted to the sudden light: "This is..."

If he hadn't used the stone tablet to break the barrier, Hitoshi Toshiro might have thought that the deep sea was really dark and dead, and he was so oppressed that he couldn't breathe.

"Like the four-faced statue in Lujia Village, the dragon is also a flying beast that does not exist in the world. In human mythology, it has stag horns, a snake neck, fish scales and eagle claws. It is an auspicious totem that humans entrust power to." Xie Sheng took Yuan Shiren walked forward, "My master is in charge of rain. But the incense of the dragon king enshrined in the world will never be counted on his head, so he can't become a god until now, so the master changed his mansion into a god in a fit of anger. In the legendary Dragon Palace, a group of shrimp soldiers and crab generals were hired to guard the palace."

Yuanshiren knew it in his heart: "I didn't expect there to be such a reason."

"June [-]th, it's very hot. Right now is the season when Master Xingyun spreads rain, and it's extremely busy. Fortunately, he is at home today."

Xie Sheng has brought Yuan Shiren to the busiest market in Dragon Palace.

Houses made of coral and shells are scattered throughout the Dragon Palace, forming curved shadows one after another on the water surface.The surrounding lighting is a whale oil lamp covered with pearls, and the wick exudes a calm fragrance.

The whale oil fire reflected on a scallop shell and coral, shining brightly on the Dragon Palace.

There is a sister who is selling pearl jewelry. She spits out a circle of bubbles and wraps a string of pearl anklets in the center.The round bubbles trembled in front of them, reflecting colorful light.

It was the first time for Hitoshi Tobishi to see such a magnificent scene, and it was novel.

"The front is the master's residence." Xie Sheng took his hand, "After visiting the master, I will buy another bunch for you."

The author has something to say:

I wrote this chapter of qwq for more than ten hours... sorry everyone.It took so long to update.
