Cannibalism

Following the vibration and noise, everyone rushed to the heart of lava in the sea of ​​fire and purgatory.

The Lava Heart is an altar with a square of five feet.The altar is towering, and each step is several inches high, which is definitely not something ordinary people can climb.

The altar is made of thick marble with a smooth surface and sprinkled with gold powder everywhere.Compared with the radiance of the Sea of ​​Fire and Purgatory, the Fanchuan Altar looked a little dim.But the layer of gold dust imbues it with an understated gravitas.

Jean looked up to the top of the altar and saw a man in a red robe.The man stood with his hands behind his back, his body turned away from them, and his face could not be discerned.But everyone could see very clearly that the red robed man's crotch down to his feet were all a mass of red flames.

A black spider climbed up the steps, climbed up the red robe step by step, and landed on the man's shoulder.The man raised a hand and gently stroked its furry body with his fingertips.

"Huoling!" Niu Tou shouted from below, "What on earth do you mean today?! How dare you play us around?"

"Heh." The man in the red robe chuckled, his voice was many times more elegant than the voice he had just transmitted, "I think you played me around."

"Didn't you ask me to help control your fire?" Niutou was completely upset, his eyes were red with anger, and he sniffed out, "Now I have invited helpers, and this is how you treat them?"

"Helper?!" Huo Ling's voice became thick and powerful in an instant, which was a sign that he was about to get angry, "I didn't realize that there was something wrong with my heart until they appeared. They stole half of me." My heart, it made me feel anxious, my limbs were on fire, I couldn't control my emotions."

Xie Sheng took a step forward and shouted into the air: "Fan Chuan Huoling, I would like to ask, who are you referring to by 'they'? Our Xie family has always acted like a gentleman, and it is absolutely impossible to commit the crime of stealing like a dog. , and Yong Chuan and this flower god have never been to the ghost world, so it is impossible to come here to steal your heart. I see, you probably have the wrong person."

The man in the red robe was furious, and slapped the altar next to him, as if he was slapping Xingmu to tell a story: "It's you! I won't admit it!"

"Please ask Huo Ling to identify the culprit who stole your heart. If I, a member of the Xie clan—" Xie Nan looked around at Xie Sheng and Xie Shishi, his eyes were extremely sharp, "I, Xie Nan, will never tolerate it."

The man in the red robe turned around, flicked his ankle-length sleeves, and looked down—until now, they finally saw clearly that what was wrapped under the red robe was not a human appearance, but a mass of Humanoid raging fire, even the eyes are fireball-shaped.

"It's you." The red-robed man pointed to Xie Nan and Xie Sheng who was near Xie Nan, and the strong fire from his fingertips marked them, "Even if I can't spy out the part of your memory that stole your heart, but The smell on your body is unmistakable! Both Liang Liang and I smell it."

Xie Shishi pursed his lips and asked in doubt, "Who is Liang Liang?"

Huo Ling's eyes were like decorations, but his sense of smell was sensitive.In order to reduce the visual disadvantage, he specially raised a spider with eight eyes to distinguish right from wrong for him.

"Liang Liang is the spider I raised." The red-robed Huoling touched the pet on the palm of his hand, "It was born in the sea of ​​fire in purgatory, it is not afraid of strong fire, it is my most loyal servant."

Tobimuro Jin sniffed out a familiar smell: "This spider..."

Xie Sheng also felt that he had seen it somewhere before, and suddenly a light flashed in his mind, and then he looked at Yuanshiren and said, "It's the one that was released that night in Runshen."

"It turns out that it was raised by the Fire Spirit of Fanchuan." Yuan Shiren finally understood the strange feeling he felt that night, "No wonder this spider looks very spiritual, and it seems that it is about to cultivate its spiritual consciousness and become a demon."

"This god really sees clearly. It's a pity, how could you be willing to hang out with the gangsters." Huo Ling raised his sleeves and put away the spider, "In a few years, it will be able to cultivate spiritual consciousness. Everything Near-spiritual bodies are the most savvy creatures in the world, and they always have infinite potential in them, but they are pure in heart, without the twists and turns of the spiritual body, and they are most sincere to their masters, so I will not Easy to doubt the findings it brings me.'

The one who has already cultivated the spiritual consciousness is the spiritual consciousness body, and then the one who is about to cultivate is the near-spiritual consciousness body.Hitoshi Tobishi could guess the literal meaning of these words.

"It's not easy." Xie Sheng muttered softly, "The body of near-spiritual consciousness really can't deceive people. Therefore, Huo Ling won't trust strangers like us. Even if he jumped into the Yellow River, he won't be able to clean himself up."

Seeing that the situation was getting more and more chaotic, Niutou's face turned black, and he said: "Huo Ling, you said they stole your heart, so how can you not spy on their memory? I think you must have admitted it wrong. Brother, give For my own sake, don't draw conclusions too early. After everything is investigated, you can convict them before it's too late, what do you think?"

"Hmph." Huo Ling disdainfully said, "Wouldn't that be an advantage to them? What if they run away, Niutou, can you be responsible? Xie is good at using the technique of spying, who knows if they have left behind to use it?" to hide from prying eyes. I don't believe they are innocent."

Xie Nan picked up the folding fan and drew an arc in the air. The movement of the fan showed a rare sense of majesty: "My Xie family has always been brave. If you can really find the real evidence that my two brothers stole your heart , I will let you handle it."

"The tone is not small." Huo Ling tilted his head and looked at Xie Nan, the fire covering his face was burning, "I admire your courage."

At this moment, a glaring flame burst out from the sleeve of Huo Ling, and everyone subconsciously closed their eyes.When it opened again, an extra person came out next to the red-robed Huo Ling on the top of the altar.

After seeing the person on the top of the altar, Xie Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he raised his voice and shouted: "Little Fourteen!"

"Brother Ten!! Woohoo." After Xie Shishi saw the distant people under the altar, his voice became crying, "Brother Ten, help me!"

Xie Sheng was furious: "Don't push yourself too far!"

"You don't need to be angry." Huo Ling's unwavering voice came from the uploader, "I will not hurt him. Since you said that you have nothing to do with my half heart, then please prove your innocence. Wait until the truth is revealed , I will naturally return Xie Shishi to you."

Xie Sheng clenched his fists and asked, "How much do we have to prove before you are willing to return the fourteenth brother to us?"

"Find out my heart and catch the culprit."

Hearing this sentence, Xie Sheng's hair stood up again: "You—"

"Wait." Xie Nan covered his mouth, "Don't make him angry, the fourteenth brother is still in his hands."

"Brother Ten, Brother Twelve! Help me." Xie Shishi's eyes were already red, "It's so hot here, I want to go out."

The bull head scratched his head frantically, and he slammed the bull horns towards the bottom of the altar angrily: "I am also angry. How could this fire spirit become such a stubborn temperament, such a tormenting person, it is really difficult to work with."

"Okay, I don't want to waste any more time with you." Huo Ling waved his sleeves, and disappeared from the altar with Xie Shishi out of thin air. His voice still lingered around for a long time, "Take My spider... I'll wait for you to prove your innocence."

When he opened his eyes again, Xie Sheng and the others had already been sent to the side of Fanchuan.

Yong Chuan looked around and saw two rows of white candle lights on the road.

"But in the blink of an eye, he sent us out." Yong Chuan recognized the ghost bride's grocery store two streets away from here, "It seems that he just made us spend thousands of dollars just to tease us." Hard work goes up the mountain of swords and down into the sea of ​​fire."

"Oh, I'm sorry for today's facts." Niutou only felt that he was not a human being inside and outside, and became annoyed, "Huo Ling's temperament has changed a lot, and now he can't even listen to a word I say."

Xie Nan said: "Take a step back and see, Master Niutou did us a big favor."

Niutou stared: "What do you say? Mr. Xie Shi, don't try to comfort me. I, Niutou, still have the ability to bear this. This time it's my fault."

"Someone pretended to be me and my twelfth brother and stole half of Huo Ling's heart. If Master Niutau hadn't told us to go to the sea of ​​fire and purgatory, we would not have been able to detect this conspiracy until now." Xie Nan tapped his palms rhythmically with a folding fan, "Go to To put it mildly, this is related to the reputation of our Xie clan; to put it more seriously, it may affect the order of the world. Hell is in charge of the reincarnation of souls, which is an important link in the alternation of life and death. If the five elements of hell are chaotic for a long time, I am afraid It will plant the root of disaster. What I am most worried about is that someone wants to use the heart of Huo Ling to plot evil and cause chaos in all walks of life."

"Yes, yes." Niu Tou nodded persistently, "Brother Xie Nan is right. Finding the heart is the most important thing, but I still have to manage the affairs of human seduction and Fanchuan, and I really can't leave now. You see ..."

"Don't worry." Xie Sheng has gradually stabilized his temper, he said, "We will definitely catch the culprit and help Huangquan restore the moist and peaceful environment in the past. The ghosts will not be committed for too long."

"Master Xie's enthusiasm for helping each other is obvious to all. Thank you to the knights and this god."

After Niutou finished speaking the officialdom, he said goodbye to them.

Seeing that there were no outsiders, Xie Sheng's tense face became more serious, and he also showed a bit of helplessness: "The ghosts and gods here are getting more and more strange. Niutou is in a high position, but he doesn't want to take care of things, and he just wants to leave us to do the troublesome things; Fan Chuan Huoling's temperament is also very inexplicable, he took our fourteenth brother away, and asked us to find out the real culprit and prove our innocence."

Yong Chuan said: "Hearing you talk about the words and deeds of the two of them together, I think they are all in collusion, trying to trick your Xie clan to help them get their hearts back."

"There's no need for them to collude." Tobishiren frowned and looked at the river, "Huo Ling was really angry, otherwise he wouldn't have spent so much time playing tricks on us in Purgatory."

"The world is so big, where should we look first?" Xie Nan suddenly lowered his head and looked around his feet, "By the way, Huo Ling told us to bring his spider with us before disappearing."

Tobishijin raised his right hand and spread out his left palm: "It's here with me."

The spider stood obediently in the center of the palm, motionless, as if it knew that everyone around it was looking at it.

Even if the rest of them are not afraid of spiders, they will never allow spiders to sit in their palms.Yong Chuan's back trembled, his arms trembled: "This spider is so fluffy... what does it feel like to touch?"

"I don't feel anything. Do you want to touch it?" Jin Shiyuan stretched out his hand to Yong Chuan.

"Forget it." Yong Chuan hid behind Xie Nan, "Flower God, you just keep it."

Xie Sheng put Yuan Shiren's palms together: "Then you will keep it."

Beasts like them who were fed with milk in their infancy never thought that bugs were cute and cute.But the plants and trees like Tobishiren are different. They don't have prejudice against the appearance of spiders or ants, and they often treat those living things that move and run equally.

The four returned to Tianyan Mountain.

After a short rest, Xie Sheng took Yuanshiren to the Tianyanshan study.

Tobishi Jin said: "If you want me to help, just ask."

"I have to find out the specific purpose of the fire spirit's heart, so that I can narrow down the scope of the investigation and know what the murderer is going to do with it."

Xie Sheng pushed open the door of the study and found that Xie Nan was already standing inside.

"It seems that the hero sees the same thing." Xie Nan closed the book, his back was facing the fire in the room, only his eyes were bright, "Flower God, you are here too."

Xie Sheng hurriedly asked: "Did Brother Ten find out the usefulness of Huo Ling's heart?"

"The explanation in the book is very vague." Xie Nan shook his head, "The book says: 'The heart of the fire spirit is the path of the god'."

Tobishiren stared at the jumping flames in the house, and whispered between his lips: "The path of the gods..."
