Cannibalism

When Toshiro Jin woke up in the morning, he found that Xie Sheng beside him had disappeared.He sat up and vaguely heard the whispering voices from the crowd on the other side of the cave.

It wasn't until he walked in that he heard what they were talking about.

Someone pointed to the flood below the mountain and said, "Hey! Look, there is a tiger lying in the water on the other side!"

Someone speculated: "Where did the tiger come from? Was it drowned? Why didn't it sink in the water and not move?"

"Didn't you drown? There seems to be foam coming out of the water."

"Oh? Is it holding its breath?"

……

Tobimuro Jin squeezed into the pushing crowd, looking through the space between the heads of the two men.He glanced down, and he really saw a yellow-skinned tiger lying on the opposite bank, with only a tail standing upright on the water.The tiger's figure appeared soft and serene under the sparkling waves, its majesty completely disappeared, and it was not as ferocious and frightening as usual.

It took a big breath and slowly spit it out in the water. A string of white bubbles slowly floated up from the water, and finally hit the wet hair on the top of its head, bursting one by one.

Yuan Shiren recognized at a glance that this tiger was Xie Sheng.

Xie Sheng is doing well, lying on the bottom of the water and spitting out some bubbles?

Xie Sheng noticed that Yuanshijin had woken up, and the other party was standing on the edge of the hill looking at him.He raised his head from the water, and the water trickled down his hair and beard in a cascade.

"Hey! Look, the tiger raised its head!" Xiao Zhi was startled and frightened, but couldn't help but rejoice, "It looks so domineering, it's looking at us... what is it going to do?"

Xie Sheng stepped on the water and walked from the other side of the overflowing official road to the edge of the hill step by step.During this time, his eyes have been fixed on a certain place on the mountain.The crowd looked at each other, thinking who had become the prey of the tiger.

Because of the water, the hair on the tiger's face drooped obediently, and its body and cheeks looked extremely thin, which further accentuated the fierce and deep eyes.

"Be careful!" Master raised his arms to attract everyone's attention, "We didn't bring hunting bows and machetes out of the city, if this beast really wanted to catch people and eat them, we might lose to its attack with bare hands. Everyone backed away , you must not turn around, and you must not look back, it is best to look directly into his eyes, so that he has no chance to take advantage of it. This beast likes to attack from behind."

So, under the guidance of the master, everyone backed up step by step, staring at the white-fronted tiger in front of them non-stop, for fear that if their eyes wandered, they would be caught and eaten by this strong tiger.

After they took three or four steps back, they suddenly realized that there was another young man on the edge of the hill who did not follow suit. The young man looked down at the white-fronted tiger at the foot of the hill, and stood there motionless.

Xiaozhi recognized Ren Yuanshi, and quickly shouted: "Hey! Little brother, step back!"

Contrary to everyone's expectations, the little brother not only did not retreat, but raised his legs and took a step forward, jumping off the hill.Everyone's eyes widened in shock, and after looking at each other for a while, they hurried to the side of the hill and looked down the hill.I saw the young man riding on the tiger indifferently, and the tiger didn't catch or make a fuss, just carried him and ran away.

Xiao Zhi exclaimed: "What's the situation?! By the way, why did the businessman who came with him disappear?"

Erniang Ying shook her head, "He's really a strange person."

After avoiding the big and small eyes from the hills, Xie Sheng suddenly said: "These reckless people who don't know what to do, who are they calling beasts?"

Yuan Shiren chuckled, he spread his five fingers apart, and smoothed the hair on Shun Xie Sheng's back neck.

"Xie Sheng, what were you doing lying in the river just now? I remember you don't like taking a bath."

Xie Sheng shook his head: "Sink in the river for a while, and your mind will become clearer. Ah Ren, you can try it next time when your thoughts are fuzzy."

Jin Tobimuro doesn't look like a tester at all.

"Where are we going now?" he asked.

"After thinking about it, I think what you said before is right. People who worship mountains and floods are not necessarily enemies." Xie Sheng put Yuan Shiren on a clean big stone, "It is rare for someone to fight with an entire city. The majority of the people in Wisconsin City survived the disaster. Obviously, the people who summoned the mountain flood disaster god did not want them to die, but just frightened them with this little bloodshed."

"Scare them..." Yuan Shiren wiped the water stains on his trouser legs, "This god of disaster should be trying to steal the offerings from the people of Weizhou. Let the image of the bee god in their hearts collapse first, and then burn the incense of the bee god Include it in your offering."

Xie Sheng transformed into a human form and sat beside Yuanshiren, his clothes were dry but his hair was wet.

He was silent for a while, and said: "Let me talk about a way of thinking - you can refer to the disasters I have experienced before. Maybe a person with high spiritual power wants to snatch the incense of the Bee God, but he can't get the Bee God out of it by ordinary methods." dragged down from the altar, and for this reason summoned the God of Calamity, and joined hands with him."

"I also had this idea yesterday." Tobishiren was a little curious, "And I always feel that you should have thought of this level a long time ago, why didn't you say it then? Oh, by the way, just now you said that it refers to what you have experienced before. Is this experience related to the plague god of Lucheng?"

Xie Sheng said ambiguously, "Almost."

Fortunately, Tobimuro Jin did not continue on this topic.

The rain over Wisconsin has stopped today, but the clouds are still thick, the sun cannot penetrate, and the sky is gloomy.

Tobishi Jin kicked the flood that had stopped rising: "In this way, we don't have to ask the people on the hill?"

Xie Sheng said: "These people may not know people with high spiritual power. I remember you said earlier that besides the bee god, you also know a god near Hengshan, right? First go to him and the surrounding land gods and ask about it." Ask, there is really no clue at that time, let’s ask the people.”

Just when Tobishiren was about to say yes, he saw a stormy sea suddenly turning up at a fork in the road ahead.The surging water spray in the middle of the flood rose more than two feet high, and quickly exploded in all directions.

A strong wind blew up all around, even Xie Sheng's half-dried hair was blown up.

Xie Sheng immediately flew up a row of phantom tiger claws to cover the two of them, blocking the splashing water.

At the same time, there was an uncomfortable force coming out of the flooded fork in the road, and the black smoke floated from the bottom of the water into the air, blowing in the north direction along the wind direction.

The discomfort gradually disappeared.

Yuan Shiren stood up on the stone, staring straight at the black smoke going away, his heart tightened: "It's not good."

Xie Sheng asked, "What is that?"

"It's the mountain flood god we met yesterday. His body turned into a cloud of smoke and flew away."

After listening, Xie Sheng stepped on the rock and flew up together with Yuan Shiren, he said: "Let's follow quietly and see where he is going."

There was an uncomfortable aura around the God of Calamity.They dare not get too close, only dare to follow from a distance.

Yuanshi Ren said: "Just now you said that the person who harmed Weizhou this time was a man with high mana. Does that mean that only one person's offering can form a disaster god and summon the disaster god?"

"The God of Calamity didn't just come into being recently." Xie Sheng stared at the black cloud of smoke, "When some people encounter dissatisfaction in their lives, they will develop a kind of resentment toward those who hinder them, such as wishing for others Sick and die, or curse in your heart that the crops of that person were drowned in floods. If the resentment is deep, you will count these vicious thoughts as your own wishes when praying to God and Buddha. Unfortunately, these wishes will never come true In front of the Buddha or the real gods. The stubborn resentment slowly gathers together, and over time, it becomes the god of disaster. The god of disaster does not need the people to make a special trip to worship, but it is indeed formed when the people worship the gods. Deformation very."

Yuan Shiren suddenly realized: "I understand. What you mean is that the evil wishes of ordinary people can form the god of disaster, but they cannot summon the god of disaster, they must be summoned by people with strong spiritual power. Yesterday you said that the god of disaster is worshipped. The person, actually specifically refers to the person who summoned him. And the incense that needs to be cut off also refers to the incense presented to him by the summoner, isn’t it?”

"That's right." Xie Sheng nodded, "The summoner will also pay some price for this in exchange for what he wants. Once the summoning is successful, the plague god can parasitize on the summoner... or on the statue, he can Continuously absorb spiritual power and make yourself indestructible."

When Xie Sheng said this, a burst of fire suddenly appeared in his eyes, as if he was suppressing the anger that rose from nowhere.

"So, what price will the summoner pay?"

Xie Sheng shrugged his shoulders: "That's unknown. The God of Calamity has different temperaments and ideas. I think the God of Calamity this time is more irritable than the ones I've seen before. Who knows what kind of trouble he will make? Come on."

Yuan Shiren suddenly remembered the God of Plague in Bodhidharma Cave, and asked, "How did you solve the God of Plague hundreds of years ago?"

Xie Sheng said: "After Brother Nine died, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva descended from the sky, took away the God of Plague, and finally sealed it up. The seals in the Bodhidharma Cave can absorb the resentment from ordinary people, but they cannot erase the offerings of those who cast spells and summon them. The plague god has not disappeared, which means that there are still people who want to summon the plague god to bring disaster to the world."

Tobishiren nodded in understanding, and suddenly saw the black mist in the distance disappear in the blink of an eye.

"Look, the black mist has fallen!" Tobishiren pointed ahead, "Let's follow and have a look."

They unloaded the technique of Zongyun and landed at the gate of a village.

The wooden plaque at the door clearly reads: Liuguo Village.

"Liuguo Village?" Yuanshiren frowned, "This is...the territory of the frog god Ni Xian."

"Frog God Ni Xian is the senior immortal who took you to the East China Sea. So he summoned the mountain flood disaster god?" Xie Sheng found it inexplicably funny, with a hint of sarcasm in the smile on his face, "He and Bee God Aren't you a friend? You actually made such a murderous move."

"I, I don't know." Tobishiren was very confused for a moment.

He and Xie Sheng stepped into the village.I found that there were almost no people in the village, only a few frogs in the pond could be heard.

The surrounding houses are dilapidated, the land is cracked, and the trees are withered.The sun above the head suddenly became extremely vicious.

Yuan Shiren and Xie Sheng found the only well-kept house in the village: Liuguo Village Temple.

The uncomfortable breath came out again, and the two looked at each other.

Then, they heard a voice outside the house.

"The villagers are gone, I am the only one left here, and I have nothing left."

Yuan Shiren could tell that it was the voice of the Frog God Ni Xian.

"I am not reconciled. The God of Mountains and Floods, wait a few days, and when the people of Weizhou begin to worship me, I will share half of the offerings with you. I will be loyal to you in this life and be your slave. Dedicate the most pious heart in the world to you..."
