Cannibalism

The boy was sleeping soundly in the grass.With stones as his pillow and grass as his mat, his eyebrows and eyes are as peaceful as the autumn moon rising faintly from the sky, his black hair hangs down on the fragrant soil, lingering with the slightly swaying grass leaves.

He doesn't have a real name, but he knows that he is a kite-headed piranha, and he has been given the identity of the kite-headed flower spirit since he was born. The villagers respectfully call him "the kite-headed flower god" or "the god flower ", worship him every day and night, kneel down and salute him.He almost never stepped out of this yin-yang barrier that nourished him, and he almost never saw anything other than human sacrifice break in.

In his memory, the big yellow cat who called itself "Tianyan Mountain Tiger Clan" was the first uninvited guest he met in his life.

Against the backdrop of the twilight, his complexion seemed not as rosy and healthy as before.His face was gray, his brows were frowned in his sleep, and a little sweat broke out on his forehead. At this moment, he heard a hoarse voice next to his ear: "Did you have a nightmare?"

The boy woke up suddenly, his eyes were half opened when he was blown across his face by a burst of grape-flavored air.He took a closer look, and for some reason there was a big, vicious cat's head in front of him—it was exactly the same as the "Tianyan Mountain Tiger Clan" that day.

There are several symmetrical black arcs on the big cat's head and face than his cat's body. The dense black patterns on the top of the head seem to trace the word "King". The thick brown and black nose is panting heavily, and there is a big bloody mouth under the beard. , with four saber teeth protruding from its mouth, faintly glowing green in the twilight.

Seeing the other party's astonished reaction, Xie Sheng became more and more satisfied.He raised his neck to show the other party the beautiful hair on his neck; he turned his ears over, revealing a little white behind them, and swung his tail to gently sweep the boy's calf outside the grass.

"Don't be afraid, I now know that you are not a demon flower that eats people at will, and will not hurt you." Xie Sheng turned his tail and narrowed his round tiger eyes, "However, according to the laws of the spiritual world, even villagers The sacrifices are all treacherous people, and you have no right to use them as food for your own cultivation. As a warrior of the tiger clan who knows every detail, I want to talk to you, and I hope you can cooperate."

The boy lying in the grass wanted to sit up, but was pushed down by Xie Sheng's tiger's palm.

The young man bit his lip and tried his best to get rid of Xie Sheng's suppression, but at this moment he was very weak and was no match for Xie Sheng at all.The boy gave up struggling and asked hoarsely, "When did you come in?"

Xie Sheng looked up at the sky to estimate the time, and suddenly found that the sky here seemed to have never changed.

Knowing his doubts, the young man explained: "There are only Chenshi and Youshi in the God Realm. This is Youshi, and the other side of Chenyou Lake is Chenshi."

Xie Sheng has seen a lot since he was young, and he is not surprised by the Yin-Yang barrier that only lasts for two hours a day.He knew it in his heart, and replied: "I have been in for a while. I thought you would notice me as quickly as last time, but I didn't wait for you for a long time. If the mountain doesn't come, I will go to the mountain." So Xie Sheng followed The smell of the yellow cat found him.

The young man lay flat on the ground, and after listening to some decent human words from the tiger's mouth, he suddenly felt that the tiger paw on his body was plush and warm, so he no longer continued to show a repulsive attitude.He eased his eyebrows and said, "Why did you become like this. Now that I am in human form, it is only fair that you should change back to human form."

Xie Sheng shook the tiger's head, and the grass was rustled by his hair: "Who made you lie here and don't like to wear clothes. It's okay if I'm a tiger, if I turn into a human and lie on you... no, no Having said that, I don't know how to describe that scene."

Half of the doubt in the boy's pupils was covered under the eyelashes.

Seeing this, Xie Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, and transformed into a light gray robe that fit him.

"This is the costume often worn by gods, immortals and ghosts. I turned around and didn't look at you. Put it on quickly. The two extra parts are sleeves. Just put your arms in." The moment he moved his hand from the boy's body , Xie Sheng suddenly changed into the appearance of the other party when he first met him as a teenager.

Xie Sheng turned his back and looked up at the pale full moon in the sky: "What should I call you?"

The teenager lived here alone for a long time, clean and comfortable, no one disturbed, and he didn't need to pay attention to the rules and regulations of ordinary people.It wasn't until Xie Sheng gave him this piece of silk cloth to cover his body that he experienced the worldly dress etiquette for the first time.

"You can call me a piranha, or you can call me an iris." The young man's movements were clumsy, and he couldn't put it on no matter what. After going around, he used magic to force it on his body, "I'll put it on." gone."

At this moment, his eyes blurred, and he staggered back. Fortunately, Xie Sheng who rushed over just in time helped him.Xie Sheng saw that his forehead was dripping with sweat and his complexion became paler, so he asked, "What's wrong with you?"

The young man leaned limply in Xie Sheng's arm: "Today, today, the human sacrifice has not yet arrived. I feel like I am in the world of ice and fire. Fortunately, I still have spiritual power left. Otherwise, I am afraid, I am afraid that my flesh and blood will be broken..."

Xie Sheng became anxious when he saw his appearance that life would be better than death.After all, the gang of villagers who caught the wrong animal was related to him, but he had to worry about the laws of the spiritual world: "You can't eat people, if..."

"I don't, I don't want to eat people." The boy's legs softened, and he fell down, "When the old priest finishes performing rituals on the animals, you will bring the animals back quickly, and then throw, throw them into Chenyou Lake middle."

There is only one Yinyang Lake in the enchantment that separates the morning and evening, and it seems that it is Chenyou Lake.Xie Sheng moved him to a high stone and let the boy lean on it.Xie Sheng saw the young man's brows were tightly furrowed, and his face showed a look of extreme pain, so he waved his sleeves and used a spell, creating a dense fog to wrap around the young man.

"This technique can help you relieve the conflict between the yin and yang meridian qi in your body. You wait for me here, and I will go and rescue it."

The boy pulled his sleeve, and a few drops of sweat fell from his eyelashes: "I'll take you out."

After finishing speaking, Xie Sheng was pulled back to the present world by a turbulent force like last time, this time he did not faint, but was directly teleported to the deceased's home in Yuanshou Village.

At this time, it was pitch black outside the window, and a few red candles were lit in the room.

"It's him!" The little boy whose eyes were already swollen from crying angrily pointed out, "He's the one who killed my father! Uncle the village chief, catch him quickly, woo woo woo..."

The little baby pointed at a man in night clothes. He was standing on the beam, and the long sword he was holding was already soaked in blood, and the blood fell drop by drop.The tip of the knife flipped over in the candlelight, flashing a terrifying light.

The boy who wanted to hit Xie Sheng a few days ago was also there.This light made him quite familiar, and then he remembered that he had seen this light when he was alone in Yuanshou Temple that day, and he suddenly realized: "Village chief, he was there when we arrested the wrong person!"

When Xie Sheng arrived, he smelled a strange smell.

He found that things are not so simple.

Lying at the door were two dead men who had been disembowelled, a villager and a woman.The little baby was squatting beside the two of them, crying bitterly: "Father! Mother!..."

Seeing this scene of losing their parents, all the villagers were outraged.

Carrying rakes and hoes in their hands, they surrounded the man in black, and one of them, a strong man with a beard, shouted, "Come down quickly and catch him without a fight! Otherwise, when the old priest comes, we will definitely beat you to tears." Call your mother!"

The man in black only showed a pair of bright black eyes in the mask.He expressed disdain for this: "It is said that killing pays for life, if I come down, can you let me go?"

"Shit!"

"Go ahead and dream! It is only right and proper to kill and pay for life."

"Brothers, come on! Tie him to meet Iris!"

The night wind was blowing, and all the shadows reflected on the wall trembled. At this moment, a blood-stained spell fell from the sky. Before the man in black could react, the spell was firmly locked in the center of his seal.He lost the ability to move for a moment, his body convulsed, and he fell from the air with his sword.

With a "bang", he lay on his back and hit the ground, motionless, as if he had fallen to his death.

The old priest came slowly from outside the door, and before he could speak, the villagers began to cheer: "As expected of the old priest, he took down the villain as soon as he raised his hand, let's go! Let's go and give the irises!"

"Wait!" The old priest pursed his lips, "This thing is not real."

The man in black obviously hit the ground on the back of his head, but he fell from such a high place, but he didn't break his skull and bleed.The old priest took out a yellow talisman again, bit his finger and smeared a talisman with blood, and then patted the man in black on the forehead.

As soon as the man in black touched the talisman, his skin quickly shrank and collapsed, his night clothes collapsed, his eyelids and face under the mask turned into straw, and besides that, there was a pair of bloody eyeballs.

A villager squatted down and touched it, and immediately backed away in horror: "This man was transformed into a scarecrow, but, but the eyeballs were just dug out!"

"My God! How could this happen."

"Then what about the human sacrifices this year?..."

When the man in black fell, Xie Sheng used the technique of spying to scan everyone on the spot.He pointed to the little baby who was kneeling and crying at the door, and said in a high voice: "You evil spirit over there, don't pretend to be hypocritical. You killed this couple and ate other people's sons, don't you still want to rely on this A low-level cover-up to get away with it?"

Everyone was shocked when they heard the sound, and they all looked at the little boy at the door.

The little boy stopped crying, raised his sleeves and wiped away his tears: "Uncle, what nonsense are you talking about, woo...my parents are dead, you, you still..."

When the villagers saw his eyeballs red and swollen from crying, and his pitiful appearance of being alone, love and pity overflowed in their hearts.Someone said: "Hero, Zhu Qi said that you are a wandering Taoist priest, maybe you are a little bit good at catching monsters, but you can't stand it and sometimes admit your mistakes..."

Zhu Qi was the villager who led Xie Sheng up the mountain three days ago.

Xie Sheng didn't listen to his argument, and directly slashed a bolt of lightning at the little boy.The little boy didn't have time to disguise when he dodged, and subconsciously resorted to a demon technique to block back.

Seeing a cloud of strange green smoke coming out of the little boy, the villagers believed that what Xie Sheng said was true.

Annoyed that he showed his flaws, the "little boy" shut his mouth and stopped refuting.He floated up from the ground flickeringly, bowed his body, his eyes flashed a fierce look, and he put on a defensive look.

"It turns out that he is really a monster!"

"It's so hateful, it turned into Niu Jiuwa to fool us."

Xie Sheng jumped up, jumped onto the beam, and clasped his fists and said: "The grievances between me and you Iris Goddess have been wiped out, and now the Iris Goddess has entrusted me to bring the animals back to the back mountain as soon as possible, please hurry up, old priest. Do these things, otherwise your divine flowers will suffer severly due to the lack of human sacrifice, and spend days like years in the enchantment."

The villagers already felt guilty towards Xie Sheng for catching the wrong victim, but now that he was upright and handsome, they believed his statement.

Only the old priest is still hesitating.

Xie Sheng continued: "High Priest, there are many evil monsters outside the mountain, there is absolutely no need for me to go to your village to snatch your human animals. The situation is urgent now, please act quickly."

Some villagers began to persuade him: "Old Priest, just listen to him. It's already dark today, and the time of Zishi is about to fall. If you miss the sacrificial day by then, Iris might be furious."

"That's right, old priest, do it quickly."

The old priest rolled his sleeves and nodded: "Okay, tie up this beast, and I'll do it for him."

Xie Sheng said: "There is one more thing that I don't understand. I would like to take the liberty to ask, can you use evil spirits as human sacrifices for your sacrifices? I am afraid that I will catch the wrong person and waste all my efforts."

The old priest replied: "All demons and ghosts can be used as human sacrifices."

Seeing that they turned a blind eye to him and acted as if they had already arrested him, the fierce spirit in the skin of a little baby suddenly felt slighted in his heart and was furious.There was a bright red light in his eyes, and he said angrily: "Do you still see me?! Did you catch me, the Yuanshou Mountain Spirit?!"
