Cannibalism

After Yuanshiren landed, he followed Xie Sheng to find the surviving villagers.

They circled the Earth Temple for half a circle, and suddenly saw Yong Chuan standing in front of him, with a black bear and a few cubs beside him.

Tobishi Ren recognized it at a glance, it was the black bear that abducted him from the village yesterday, and the cubs were its children.

In a pile of stone ruins, the black bear worked hard to dig out a crushed shrine.

Since Toshiro Jin split the stone house with the roof in half, the objects placed inside fell from the sky, but fortunately no one was hit.

The look of the black bear's eyes became dark for a while, and then became clear for a while, which looked quite strange.

The right side of the shrine is missing a corner, so there are only three crooked characters on the shrine, "Wolf Mountain God".

It moved its mouth stiffly and picked up a sharp stone awl. With its bear paw trembling, it drew a horizontal line on the place where there was no word on the shrine, and then carved another half-stroke.

Halfway through the moment, the only sliver of clarity in its eyes disappeared.

Xie Sheng whispered in Yuanshiren's ear: "The resentment in the air has disappeared, it seems that the forbidden technique has been broken. The wrong consciousness will be taken back by the heavens. You see, it can no longer write."

Yuanshiren said sadly: "Baiwo has lost his soul, and his subjects have lost their spiritual consciousness."

"So the Tiger God's name is Bai Wo?"

The boy lowered his eyes: "Yes."

The black bear looked up at the towering earth temple, then looked down at the shrine in his hand, tilted his head twice, with a puzzled look in his eyes, as if he didn't understand why it appeared in his hand.

It held up the stone awl to have a look, then let go of its grip, and stepped on it.

The little bear barked.The black bear's attention was attracted by the children, it threw the shrine aside, and walked out of the village with the children.

Yong Chuan picked up the shrine again, looked at the horizontal and half-curved lines on it, sighed and said, "Will they...will they forget the time when they possessed divine consciousness?"

"Yes." Xie Sheng said without hesitation, "It was originally the wrong consciousness, and the heavens will take away the wrong memory together. The creatures in Baiwo Mountain will no longer remember. There is a tiger god who gave them consciousness here, let alone I will remember how to write down the words 'Haiwo Mountain God'."

Yuan Shiren picked up the stone awl and carved the remaining strokes for the black bear.

It is a word "hundred".

"I want to build a grave for Bai Zuo."

He put the shrine on the pile of stones, and took out a few flagon tiles in his arms and placed them with the shrine.Then stand in front of the shrine and bow to the raised stone pile.

I don't know if Baiwo's soul has turned into a ray of breeze, and I don't know if this ray of breeze is still lingering in Baiwo Mountain.

If only he could sense it.

Tobishi Jin said: "Let's go."

"Hurry up and hit the iron-eating beast!" At this time, a familiar voice suddenly heard shouting: "All the mice have been wiped out, and there is still an iron-eating beast over there!"

The voice was Mrs. Lu whom they visited yesterday.The red-eyed villagers gathered around one after another.

Yong Chuan was startled, and quickly turned into a human form, and the villagers who rushed over stopped their pace immediately.

Mrs. Lu, who was walking at the end, said in surprise, "Yong Chuan, why is it you?"

Yong Chuan confessed: "Ma'am, I am an iron-eating beast monster."

"So you are all here." Mrs. Lu saw Xie Sheng and Yuan Shiren, her eyes were filled with tears, and she couldn't help crying, "Old Lu... Lao Lu broke his leg and moved slowly. Last night, last night, it was too late to escape. , a mass of locusts wrapped it up and ate it."

Sobbing and twitching: "My old Lu...you died so badly."

Yuan Shiren stepped forward, lowered his eyebrows and nodded: "My Madam, my condolences."

Mrs. Lu cried: "God, you don't know, in the blink of an eye, all he has left is a pile of bones. What will I do in the future, what will I do in the future?"

The nearby villagers suggested: "Let's move the village."

"Oh, good!" Someone echoed, "It's unlucky here, I don't dare to stay any longer."

"Then move to the village! Anyway, my house and money have been eaten away by mice, and there is nothing to miss in Baiwo Mountain."

An elderly man caressed his beard that had burned most of it: "Then go back and pack up quickly, and we will set off as soon as possible before dawn."

So the gathered villagers dispersed.Tobishijin took a step forward and called the old man to stop.

"Please wait a moment. Excuse me, are you the priest in the village?"

Leaning on crutches, the old man turned to look at him with hesitation in his eyes: "Young man, do you recognize me?"

"During the locust plague many years ago, did you meet a tiger in the mountains? It gave you two pieces of wild boar."

A surprised light suddenly appeared in the old man's nearly chaotic eyes: "You... how do you know?"

Tobimuro was silent.

Seeing that he didn't want to answer, the old man didn't insist.He looked up at the towering Earth Temple, and sighed on his back: "Maybe, maybe bad luck has been doomed since then. Heaven has eyes."

After finishing speaking, the old man didn't stay any longer and left with his cane.

The Lu family village is already in ruins.The surrounding area is full of thick smoke from the fire, and there is a choking smell.The houses were dilapidated overnight and burned to black ashes.

The ashes scattered into the air with one blow.

Xie Sheng shook the dust on the hem of Yuan Shiren's clothes, and said, "It's time for us to go."

"We have only been here for one day, and so many things have happened. It is really unpredictable..." Tobishiren remembered his broken cat body and said, "I want to go back to the God Realm and restore my yellow cat .”

Yong Chuan said to the two of them: "I also plan to go home. After a few days, I will go to Donghai to play with you."

Yuanshiren: "Xie Sheng's home is in the East China Sea, but I'm not here. Then you can come to Yuanshou Mountain to find me."

"Oh, why did I forget this one. You don't live in the East China Sea, but the mirage in the East China Sea happened to reflect your figure." Yong Chuan slowed down his voice, lowered his eyes and said, "I still want... to go to Kongwang Mountain to sacrifice worship him."

Yong Chuan's former master was buried in Kongwang Mountain by him.

"It's just right, take me with you then." Xie Nan came out out of nowhere, "Lin Poran is an old friend, I will go to pay respects later."

"Okay." Yong Chuan turned around, "Say goodbye to those two little Taoist priests for me."

After Yong Chuan left, the three of them found Run Yuan and Run Shen in front of Lu Yueming's house.

Run Yuan held a note in his hand, and said to Run Shen with a frown, "Last night, I flew a letter back to the Leshan School and told Master about the strange things about the Earth Temple in the village. After the barrier collapsed this morning, I received a letter from Master."

"What did Master say?"

"You can read it yourself." Run Yuan handed the letter to his younger brother, "Master asked me two questions."

Run Shen spread out the letter paper, opened his mouth and read aloud: "First, if you can save one person by killing ten bears, how would you choose?"

The first thing Xie Sheng heard when he approached the two was this sentence: "Huh? What's the problem?"

Run Shen continued: "Second, if all ten bears can talk, how should you choose the first question?"

"Second question, I don't know how to make a choice." Run Yuan shook his head, "Junior brother, what do you think?"

Runshen paused for a while, then replied, "I choose to let this person fend for himself."

The light in Runyuan's eyes flickered, and then he got into the horns: "Then if a talking bear and a person fell into the river at the same time, which one would you save first?"

Xie Nan chuckled: "What kind of strange question is this?"

But Run Shen really thought about it: "But, the bear fell into the river, do you need me to save it?..."

An hour later, the villagers of Lujia Village had already packed their bags.They were all wrapped in messy tattered clothes and gathered at the gate of the village, ready to move to the village.

"Flower God, and the two Xie Tiger Clans, thank you for your help this time." Run Yuan cupped his fists and said, "We two brothers also want to send the villagers of the Lu family for a ride. Let's leave now."

"There will be a time later." Xie Nan smiled, "When I have free time, I will come to Tianyan Mountain as a guest. Xie Sheng and I are waiting for you at any time."

"No problem! Master would be very happy if he knew that we were invited by the Xie Tiger Clan to go to Tianyan Mountain." Run Yuan waved to them, "The villagers are about to leave. Goodbye!"

"Goodbye."

Less than 40 of the Lu family villagers survived.They looked back at the devastated village in disgrace, and bid farewell to this land.

"Let's go!"

Most of the dozens of people were injured. They staggered towards the green foot of the mountain, and their backs quickly disappeared in the turning of mountains and rivers.

After seeing off the two Taoist priests and villagers of the Leshan School, Xie Nan asked Xie Sheng: "Brother, I heard you say last night that you are going back with the God of Flowers, but don't forget that every June [-]th is when you go to visit the elders of the Octopus Clan. day. It will be here in a few days."

The elder of the octopus tribe once taught Xie Sheng the secret technique of the octopus tribe, so Xie Sheng always respected the old man as his master and visited him every year.

Xie Sheng almost forgot about it.

Although Xie Sheng had only met the Eleventh Sister's wedding banquet two days ago, the elder of the Octopus Clan could not be omitted.There is no reason for a master to come to see an apprentice.

Xie Sheng looked at Brother Ten, and then at the little Flower God who was waiting at the side, and was in trouble for a while.He had already promised Yuanshiren to go back with him and stay in Yuanshou God Realm for a while, but...

Fortunately, Tobishijin was very reasonable, and he said, "If that's the case, then you can come to me after June [-]th. Anyway, I'm going back to recuperate. If you go, I might not be able to take care of you."

Xie Sheng handed him a messenger Zhu: "If you need to ask me for something, play it, and I will be able to sense it."

Yuan Shiren felt as if he had found a treasure, and pulled a piece of silk satin from somewhere to wrap it up, and nodded.

"See you in mid-June. I'll go first."

But after a while, the Flower God used the Zongyun technique to leave.

"Silly brother, don't be dazed, go home quickly." Xie Nan took a fan and tapped Xie Sheng on the head, raised his head and stretched his waist, "Go back now, and you can still catch up with lunch."

Xie Sheng looked at the sunny sky above his head, and replied, "Okay."

With a wave of their sleeves, the two attracted Xiangyun who was returning to Tianyan Mountain.

And the ruins of Lujia Village behind him gradually shrunk into a black spot and ceased to exist.
