Cannibalism

On the second day, Tianyan Mountain was shrouded in clouds, the sun flickered, and there was a little drizzle on the mountain.

Umbrellas couldn't stop the fluttering rain, so everyone stopped holding umbrellas and went down the mountain together.

The three brothers and sisters of the Xie family, Ren Yuanshi and Yong Chuan went together today.In fact, the place where the God of Plague is imprisoned is not suitable for a mortal body that has not yet become a god. Among the five people, only Yuan Shiren can resist the plague, and the others must be covered with a protective barrier to survive the plague. And back.

"Yong Chuan, what are you doing here?" Xie Nan glanced at the iron-eating beast standing at the end, "Look at your chubby bear, you are the most likely to be infected by the plague. If it drags us down by then, we won't save you."

The iron-eating beast was displeased, but he couldn't refute the word "chubby", so he turned into a tall and handsome man, stepped forward a few steps, and whispered with Yuanshiren.

"Oh, this bear's body is so handsome." Xie Gan exclaimed, then looked sideways frequently, his eyes sweeping back and forth on Yong Chuan's face, "It looks more eye-catching than my Butterfly King."

Xie Sheng rolled his eyes: "Sister Eleven, you are already married, why do you still say such shameless words. You actually judge people by their appearance, and when you see a good-looking man, your soul will be hooked, superficial."

"Everyone has the love of beauty, and your sister is no exception." Xie Gan didn't feel ashamed at all, and planned to play tricks on Xie Sheng. After the distance between the other three people was long enough, they whispered, "I have heard everything from Brother Ten. That day you went to Yuanshou Mountain to catch the flower demon, but the flower demon failed to catch it, and instead took you with me." A young man returned home and not only used tiger hair to make clothes for others to wear, but also flew back and forth at the location of the Butterfly Waterfall on the day of my wedding with him on his back. We are brothers and sisters, so Asheng doesn’t have to hide from me. Cover it up, don't you also like him because of his handsome appearance?"

"How can it be the same!" Xie Sheng finished yelling before realizing that his voice was a little loud, and quickly lowered it, "I regard him as a brother, and I, I like to play with him because he is kind and innocent , has nothing to do with appearance."

"I'm almost convinced of your words." Xie Gan began to imitate Xie Sheng and rolled his eyes, "Walk ten people on the road and let them face the flower god, at least nine of them would not describe him as righteous. "

Xie Sheng just said the description casually, and he thought it was inappropriate when he thought about it carefully, so he felt guilty, but he still refused to give in: "What about the remaining one out of ten?"

Xie Gan lowered his head and straightened his sleeves: "He must be dumb."

"A-Gump and A-Sheng, what are you doing running so fast?" Xie Nan called to the siblings in front of him, "The Iron-eater and the Flower God have already disappeared. You use your feet to walk to the Fanchuan Ghost Domain. Is the year of the monkey going?"

Xie Sheng turned his head and saw that Xie Nan was the only one left in the misty and rainy mountains and forests.

A cloud wrapped in drizzle came down from the sky, Xie Nan pointed to the soft cloud surface: "Go up quickly."

Yuan Shiren and Yong Chuan both remembered the location of the Fanchuan Ghost Domain. Xie Nan told them just now that the prison there is in the Dharma Cave at the north of the Ming River. If they arrive soon, they will wait for them at the entrance of the cave. go in.

The two stood side by side on the cloud, overlooking the lake, sea and mountains below them.With the sound of the wind blowing in his ears, Yuan Shiren heard Yong Chuan say: "There is a Buddha's light in the Bodhidharma cave, and the imprisoned plague god can't make waves. According to common sense, there should be no plague in the cave."

Yuan Shiren replied: "No matter what, you should be careful. If the God of Plague really stole the heart of the fire spirit, then it means that the seal in the Bodhidharma Cave has leaked."

"Flower God, do you think that the God of Plague who killed the nine sons of the Xie family is the thief who stole the heart of Huo Ling?" Yong Chuan made a judgment first, and he denied it, "In my opinion, it is not possible. Big, what does a God of Plague want half of Huoling's heart to do? He can't eat or wear anything, and he has to sweat profusely from the heat of the mad sea of ​​fire and purgatory."

The Bodhidharma Cave is close to the Fanchuan Ghost Domain and will also be affected by drought.Therefore, if the plague god is still in the cave, it will never be easy.

"Xie Sheng told me this morning that he drew a map that marked the troublesome people they participated in sealing and imprisoning for nearly a hundred years." Yuan Shiren explained, "So they came to Dharma Cave just to confirm It’s all about whether the prison is broken or not. It’s not true that the God of Plague is a thief.”

"I heard this yesterday." Yong Chuan sat down on the cloud, wrapping his arms around his knees, "I just sigh with emotion, these tiger monsters are worthy of being honest and gentlemen, and when it comes to enemies, they can only think of the monsters they sealed earlier."

Tobishi Jin turned his head sideways and asked, "What do you mean?"

Yong Chuan's tone became mature, and he said without changing his face: "The tiger is the king of beasts, and the tiger clan is the best among all the monsters. Among all the tiger clans, only the Xie clan can call the wind and rain in the demon world, and even the jade from the heaven The emperor must be courteous. There are jealous people in the world, and there are those who are dissatisfied. If one or two of these people show up and want to frame Mrs. Xie, I will not be surprised at all."

Yuan Shiren's face darkened: "But if this is the case, it will be even more difficult to catch the real culprit. Now there is no clue."

"There's one more thing I didn't tell you. I overheard it last night too."

"what?"

Tobishi Jin looked down at the top of Yong Chuan's head.Yong Chuan's human figure is much taller than him, and it is rare for him to look down on Yong Chuan like this.

"Last night, Xie Nan made a divination for this prison visit trip." Yong Chuan narrowed his narrow eyes, "Kanwei Shui Gua... Mostly it is a big ominous one. The good luck is very small."

"I think last night's hexagram seems to be a good fortune hidden in a bad omen, brother ten don't need to worry. After all, there is no absolute ominous or auspicious hexagram in the world." Xie Sheng hugged Xie Nan's shoulder affectionately, "But don't let Ah Ren enter Hole, he is an outsider, this matter has nothing to do with him."

"Then you still let him come?" Xie Nan threw Xie Sheng's heavy arm aside, "Among the five of us, he is the least likely to have a vicious look. He is a god and will not be attacked by the plague. .”

"I also want him to stay on the mountain honestly, but it's clear that you said, 'If there is a god, there are multiple helpers. If there is a plague, the whole army will not be wiped out'." Xie Sheng tasted what it was like to be beaten, and this He was actually his own brother.He originally wanted to attack Xie Nan in a decent way, but when he mentioned the little flower god, his tone softened immediately: "You say, how could a sincere and kind person like him run away. I have lived for more than 1000 years, and for the first time Meeting such a caring and considerate playmate.”

"Brother Ten, I feel a little nauseous all of a sudden." Xie Gan held his chest and put one hand on Xie Nan's arm, "Help me see if I have a strange disease?"

Xie Nan and Xie Gan helped each other up, Xie Nan replied: "I can't see it. Sister, I have a stomachache and want to vomit."

Xie Sheng was completely unaware of the disgust shown by the two of them, because they had already arrived at the Bodhidharma Cave in the north of Fanchuan.Xie Sheng jumped down from the wet clouds, and followed the message sent by Chuanxin Zhu to the place where Yuan Shiren and Yong Chuan were.

"Our little brother is just as lively and active as when he was a child." Xie Nan looked at the back of Xie Sheng who was about to disappear and smiled, "Our temper has not changed at all, very lucky."

"Yes." Xie Gan smiled, revealing two shallow dimples, "I hope he can carry Brother Nine's blessings and always maintain a pure heart."

The five reunited in the Dharma Cave.

Xie Nan said: "The blood of our three brothers and sisters is on the seal, so we can go in and out freely. Flower God and Yong Chuan are waiting outside the door."

Xie Sheng: "I'm afraid it's not safe inside, so don't run around. Let's check the seal and come out right away."

"Okay, if there is any accident, you must call me." Yuan Shiren took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Xie Sheng, "This is the jade pendant that Xie Nan gave me earlier. You two brothers don't distinguish between each other, I will return it to you." You can be regarded as returning the property to its original owner. It is irrigated by the spiritual power of the Tianchi Lake in Tianshan, which can save you from danger."

The hole on the head of this jade pendant is also wearing a red string made from Xie Sheng's tiger hair.

Seeing it, Xie Nan felt puzzled, not understanding how the flowers and tigers in front of him turned this good healing thing into a token of love.

Xie Gan shouted: "Let's go, Ah Sheng. We're not going into a cave to die."

Except for the slightly hotter climate outside the Bodhidharma Cave, there is no change.

At least the seal of the first door is intact.

At this moment, a big, black spider suddenly ran out from the lapel of Kiteshiren's shirt.

Before everyone could react, it jumped onto the lawn, turned into a cave, and disappeared.

"This, what is this?" Xie Gan's face turned pale, and he took a step back, "It scared me."

Yuan Shiren squatted down and peeked into the cave: "This is the spider used by Fanchuan Huoling to supervise us. It may have crawled back to the sea of ​​flames in purgatory along this cave."

"So it's like this." Xie Gan raised his sleeve and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

The three brothers and sisters of the Xie family walked into the Bodhidharma Cave.

To their surprise, the inside of the cave was cooler than the outside.

It is really strange that the drought in Fanchuan has not affected the inside of the cave.

They easily passed through layers of seals and came to the deepest part of Dharma Cave.

A cute little novice sits inside the nine-foot-high prison.

The prison was built with fresh lotus roots under the lotus pond of Daleiyin Temple. After years, those white jade-colored railings are still spotless, sealing all the consciousness of the plague god inside.

The little novice's eyelids are slightly closed, and there is a colorful Buddha's light hanging above his head, and the afterimage of a lotus flower can be vaguely seen.

"Plague God, you have become smaller again." Xie Nan smiled and said, "The coolness in Dharma Cave must be due to your contribution."

"Amitabha." The little novice twirled the bodhi seed in his hand, "It is naturally cool when the mind is calm. If the mind is calm and the mind is broad, the cave will be filled with cool breeze."

Xie Nan bent down and bowed: "What the plague god said is very true."

"Brother Ten, why do you worship him? The plague he planted killed our Brother Ninth!" Xie Gan stopped Xie Nan's shoulder, "Even if he has converted to Buddhism now, he still has a deep hatred with us."

It has been 200 years since Xie Sheng last saw the God of Plague.At that time, the God of Plague seemed to be about the same age as him, but now he has become the size of a child.He asked: "Your body is getting smaller and smaller... Will you disappear in the future?"

"It's up to me to decide." The little monk opened his eyes, staring at Xie Sheng with all white pupils, "I still exist in the world, which means that there are still people enshrining me."

"Which family's bastard is so ignorant of what's good and what's wrong, he's going to worship the plague." Xie Sheng frowned, his eyes dark, "Don't let me find him."

The little novice sat on his knees and bent his body: "I don't know what the benefactors will do if they find me?"

"It's nothing." Xie Nan said, "This time I'm bothering the God of Plague."

After some investigation, the thief must not be the little novice monk who has no desires and no desires.

"Looking back now, what Huoling said at that time to anger us seems to have something to do with God." Toshiro sat on the grass, playing with the dogtail grass at his feet, "Xie Sheng told me that Huoling was there at the time. In the illusion, they laughed at him and Xie Nan, saying that the Xie family would never become gods. One said that the Xie family was not worthy of becoming gods, and the other said that the Xie family was oppressed by the heavens and could not become gods."

Yong Chuan was taken aback: "Here, Huo Ling first counted all the bad things Xie Nan did to me, and then told me that even if his sister Xie Gan wanted to help him become a god, according to Xie Nan's bad deeds, You can't become a god... So, it's really all related to God."

"His younger sister, Xie Gan, wants to help him become a god?" Yuan Shiren's pupils shrank, and suddenly he was sad, "Why didn't you say that before?"

"The bull head told us at the time that Huo Ling's words were half true and half false, so I thought he just said it casually and didn't take it seriously." Yong Chuan hurriedly asked, "What did you find?"

Yuan Shiren felt that the chaotic thoughts in his head suddenly merged into a rock-solid thread: "I remember Xie Shishi once said in the sea of ​​​​fire and purgatory that the fire spirit slandered his eleventh sister for greed for the god position. Do you still have impression."

Yong Chuan narrowed his eyes: "It seems... some impression."

Yuan Shiren continued: "Xie Gan wasn't there at the time, but the 'slandering words' related to Xie Gan appeared in both you and Xie Shishi's illusion, and the logic in it is not contradictory."

"what do you mean……"

Yuan Shiren only felt a flash of inspiration, and he looked up into the dark Dharma Cave: "'The heart of the fire spirit is also the path of God' should mean: the heart of the fire spirit can be used to help A person with a mortal body becomes a god. If my guess is correct, Xie Gan is a so-called thief, and Huo Ling already knows this well. He slandered Xie Nan and Xie Sheng just to lure Xie Gan."

With a hissing sound, the mountain above the two of them shattered, and a few pieces of rubble leaked down.

Suddenly there was a strong wind, and the ground under his feet trembled. Ren Toshiro dropped the dogtail grass and stood up amidst the ups and downs.

The surrounding air suddenly gathered into several whirlwinds, burning hot air, blowing up the loess all over the sky, violently churning around the two of them.

"The thug who stole my heart. You are finally here."

The sound transmission of the Fire Spirit reverberated in the valley, deafening.

"Give me back—" All the violent whirlwinds gathered at the entrance of Dharma Cave, and they howled outside the cave, "Give me back my heart—"

At this time, the three people in the cave also felt the turmoil here.

The little monk lowered his eyes and remained motionless. He recited Buddhist scriptures non-stop for a moment, and what was heard in his ears made people even more disturbed.

A layer of choking dust flew up from the cave, and the surroundings rumbled and shook.

Xie Gan coughed twice, and fanned the ashes that fell in front of him: "Xie Sheng, go out and have a look first."

Xie Sheng nodded: "You wait for me here."

Then Xie Sheng ran out without looking back.

A gravel fell from the top of the cave, and the inside of the cave was unclear. Xie Nan thought that some mechanism had been disturbed, so he quickly stretched out his hand to lay a protective barrier in front of the two of them.

"Gan'er, don't be afraid, I—"

Unexpectedly, Xie Nan suddenly fainted.

The back of the head was hit by a sap.

He looked back in disbelief, but only saw half of his sister's face, and his spiritual consciousness stagnated.

Xie Gan threw the stick aside, lifted Xie Nan up from the ground, and carried it behind his back.

She raised her arm and shook her brother behind her, and pressed a mechanism, and a hole in the wall was opened with a height of one person.

She walked in step by step, still muttering: "Brother Ten, I'm sorry, don't blame me. When you wake up, you will already be a god... Wait for my sister, my sister will take you to the sea of ​​fire and purgatory."

The rocks in the Bodhidharma cave vibrated continuously under the attack of the fire spirit, and more gravel and dust fell from the top, hitting the ground little by little.

"Amitabha."

And the little novice in the prison was still twisting the beads, as if everything was peaceful around him.
