Cannibalism

In the early morning of the next day, Xie Sheng pushed open the door of Yuanshiren's room secretly. He hid behind the screen and stared at the room, and then moved out from behind the screen step by step.

He murmured softly, "What kind of sleeping method are you doing?"

The iron-eating beast lay sprawled on the bed, snoring lightly, its white belly like glutinous rice balls rising and falling with its breathing.The top of the belly, which was supposed to be full and fluffy, had collapsed into a round piece.It turned out to be a raccoon cat in a moon cake shape, moving steadily up and down with the belly beneath it.

Xie Sheng remembered that Yuan Shiren used to pay attention to observe the surroundings when sleeping, and was extremely alert, but this time the yellow cat hugged its ears with its two paws and slept so dimly that it didn't even notice that Xie Sheng came in.

Big glutinous rice balls with small moon cakes, this dish is probably too sweet to be greasy.Xie Sheng stretched out his arms to gently pick up the yellow cat, and walked back to his room.

Xie Sheng turned into a vigorous tiger. He lay back on the bed, curled up lazily into a ring, and placed the sleeping yellow cat in the center of the ring—that is, on his belly.

Xie Sheng fell asleep contentedly.After an unknown amount of time, the voice of his tenth brother Xie Nan suddenly came from above his head: "What kind of sleep are you guys doing?"

Xie Nan looked at him condescendingly, with such a look of hatred for iron and steel: "Three poles in the sun come to you to look for you. I didn't expect you to sleep with the flower god, and you slept like this?"

Xie Sheng glanced down, and found that his two tiger claws encircled the white and tender neck of Toshiro Jin, and his legs also clamped the legs of Toshiro Jin.In a daze, Xie Sheng stuck out his tongue and licked the fair face in front of him.

Flower God's two thick and long eyelashes trembled slightly.

After licking it, Xie Sheng realized that Xie Nan was also in the house, and quickly retracted his paws, and put the two pads lightly on the top of Yuanshiren's head: "Brother Ten, in fact, it was a cat at first..."

"Here we go again. Where are the cats?" Xie Nan said, shaking his sleeves, "I think Flower God may be suffering from some kind of illness. You and I have talked until now, and Flower God has not moved at all, and has no consciousness at all."

Xie Sheng hurriedly got up and changed back into human form: "Yesterday he ate a bunch of grapes, I asked him to swallow the juice and spit out the dried pulp, so that his stomach would feel better. But look at his current state The situation, my method seems to be of no use at all."

Xie Nan shook his head: "After chewing the grapes, most of the pulp is swallowed along with the juice. Grapes don't have firm pulp like apples, and they can be easily separated from the juice."

Xie Sheng was very depressed, he wanted to put a quilt on Yuan Shiren's body, but Xie Nan stopped him.

"It's June's hot summer now, you'll have to make Flora wilt if you do this."

The two came outside the house. It was not noon at this time, and the sun above their heads was already in the sky.The cicada chrysalis screamed presumptuously in the hot summer, and hearing it in my ears, I couldn't help but add a bit of unbearable heat.

Xie Nan took out his folding fan to fan the two of them, while Xie Sheng frowned and said, "It's not an option to go on like this. I can't sleep unconsciously after eating. I have to find a way to help the flower god get the flower mouth back." Come."

"Grape pulp is thin and thin, no different from water. Brother, don't worry too much. I believe he will wake up in a few hours. After Xie Nan persuaded him, he asked, "If you want to find, there must be someone Direction, do you know where his flower mouth went? "

"The flower god once fell into a long sleep, and the flower mouth disappeared after waking up. He doesn't remember exactly what happened." Xie Sheng walked down the steps and grabbed an orange-red impatiens flower in his hand. He is not familiar with the places beyond the mountains, and with me helping him by his side, he has one more helper."

"Without the flower mouth, the flower god can't eat now." Xie Nan felt unbelievable, "He is a cannibal flower, and now he can't even eat a bite of food... If there is a flower mouth, will the flower god start eating people?"

Piranha, Piranha.Cannibals can only be called cannibals if they are naturally cannibals.

It's no wonder that Xie Nan was suspicious, after all, Yuanshiren was born with such a race.

Xie Sheng immediately denied: "No. Even if he is a man-eating piranha, I will teach him to prey on birds and beasts without consciousness."

The risky flower was torn off the ground petal by petal by Xie Sheng, and the flower stem was soon bald, leaving only two slender green leaves.

With a "squeak", the door of Yong Chuan's room was opened, and the iron-eating beast swaggered out.He found a shade under the camphor tree, and rested lazily against the trunk, with his two short, fat legs stretched out straight.

He rubbed his hungry belly: "When I woke up, the flower god was gone. He got up really early. I wonder if he made breakfast."

"He's not awake yet."

Xie Nan continued to fan his fan, and the broken hair on his sideburns flew up.

There was still a mark of being slept by a cat on the iron-eater's stomach hair, Xie Sheng glanced at it twice.

Xie Sheng said: "Aren is not feeling well, and he is currently resting in my room. You must not disturb him in the past."

"Then what are your plans for today?" The iron-eating beast got up and patted the ashes on its body. "Yesterday, I heard from Xie Nan that it seemed like I was going to see some dry land. Summer is humid and rainy, how could it be dry? Could it be?" In the northwest border?"

The weather is really hot, Xie Nan stroked the thin sweat on his forehead, and stood up under the shade of the camphor tree: "Yesterday, the Butterfly King came to tell me a strange news, saying that four or five days ago, the river in the Fanjiang Ghost Domain unexpectedly Evaporated overnight, all the Manzhushahua in Huangquan withered, and all the ghosts gathered in Huangquan wailed endlessly, almost being burned to death by the fire of hell. Niutou, who governs Fanchuan Huangquan, wants to invite the Dragon King of the East China Sea to come forward It rains, but Niu Tou considers that the sea monster under his seat once made trouble in the East China Sea a hundred years ago, and formed a bridge with the Dragon King, worried that the Dragon King will not help this time, so he entrusts his friend Butterfly King to intercede for him in front of the Dragon King."

Xie Sheng was surprised: "Droughts are very common in the world, but this is the first time I've heard of the river being dried up in Huangquan. The five elements in Huangyu everywhere have spiritual power sealed up, and the balance has remained the same for thousands of years. Now the river is dry and the ghost fire is flourishing. I am afraid it was caused by someone The Five Elements Spirit Vessel has been activated."

"I also have the same idea." Xie Nan put away the folding fan, and said that he planned to walk out of the courtyard, "Father and mother heard me yesterday that I wanted to go to Huangquan, so they asked me to bring Xiao Shisi with me. Now he is over 600 years old, and he still has a lot of money. I’ve never had a good experience outside.”

Yong Chuan followed him with calm eyes: "Who is Little Fourteen?"

"That's our fourteenth brother." Seeing Yong Chuan running faster and faster, Xie Sheng called to him, "Oh, Yong Chuan, what are you doing chasing so fast? My tenth brother is not a bamboo."

Xie Nan flicked his cuffs, stepped onto the clouds, and flew up. He turned to Xie Sheng and said, "Ah Sheng, when the flower god wakes up, you can come to Fanchuan Ghost Realm to find me again. Now I will go to the foot of the mountain to spend the rest of my life together." Long goodbye."

Xie Sheng replied: "Okay, listen to Brother Ten."

After Xie Nan disappeared, Yong Chuan also disappeared.

In the middle of the night, Tobishiren woke up.

He propped himself up from the bed, touched his dizzy forehead, and pressed a fleshy palm during the process, only to realize that there was a tiger lying beside him.

Xie Sheng was also awakened. He quickly transformed into a human form, supported Yuanshiren, and asked with concern: "How is it? Are you better?"

Tobishi Jin stood up and straightened his clothes: "When I just woke up, I was a little dizzy, but it's no longer a problem."

"If you want to eat melons and fruits in the future, I'll squeeze them into juice for you, and use three layers of dense cloth to filter the residue, so it won't hurt your stomach." Xie Sheng walked out quickly, "You wait for me, I'll come as soon as I go."

Watching Xie Sheng mess around in the dark yard for a while, Yuan Shiren finally saw that there was an extra well at the door.Xie Sheng put a long stick with a copper hook fixed on the top into the well, and slowly took out a sealed porcelain pot from inside.

Tobishi Jin asked, "What is this?"

"I was bored at noon, so I built a stone well in the courtyard. Afterwards, I squeezed a few melons and fruits, poured the juice into a porcelain pot, and sank it to the bottom of the well. After soaking for three to five hours, the juice turned into ice. Drinking iced orange juice on a hot summer day is the best way to quench your thirst." Xie Sheng opened the porcelain pot, poured it into a cup, and handed it to Yuanshiren, "I promise you will feel refreshed after drinking it, and you will never fall asleep again."

Under Xie Sheng's expectant eyes, Yuanshiren drank the glass of iced orange water in one gulp, and blinked twice after drinking it.

"It turns out that oranges taste like this." Tobishiren stretched out his hand and poured a glass, "I didn't spit out much grape flesh yesterday, after walking around the mountains at night, I suddenly felt cold in my body, so I looked for a warm place I fell asleep. I felt it myself, and I fell into a drowsy sleep."

This jug of orange juice was quickly swallowed by Toshiro Jin.Xie Sheng took out a can of iced peach juice from the well again, and said earnestly, "Aren, I decided to help you find the flower mouth that is missing on your body. You are a piranha, and the flower mouth is the most important part. You must not Lost for too long."

"I don't know where I can find it." Yuan Shiren hugged the porcelain pot, feeling depressed in his heart, "It should be near Yuanshou Mountain, but I never sensed it."

"Since your Huazui is not in Yuanshou Mountain, you can search all over China. You can always find it. Now my tenth brother... and Yong Chuan have gone to Fanchuan Ghost Domain. I also plan to take a look. You Come with me."

Yuan Shiren rolled his eyes and agreed with Xie Sheng's words: "Okay."

"Fan Chuan lives in the world, we need to go there at night."

"Then let's go now."

Although summer nights are also hot, they are still a bit better than the steaming hot scene during the day.The two of them were flying high in the sky, with the clear breeze blowing by their side, it was even more refreshing.

Xie Sheng brought Yuanshiren to the side of Fanchuan.

All the ghost islands in the ghost domain need to cross the Styx River to reach them, and Fanchuan is one of the eighteen Styx Rivers in the world.According to the laws of the spiritual world, the human race and the ghost race each share half of these Styx living in the human world.During the day, it is used by human residents to irrigate the farmland, and at night, ghosts cross the river to enter and exit.

At this time, there was no human race beside Fanchuan, and the river was completely dry.

The full moon above Fanchuan is bright blood red, and there are no shadows of stars in the night sky. If there is river water, it will definitely reflect a ghostly reflection of the moon.

Xie Sheng said: "Since the tenth brother only said that the Fanchuan ghost domain is dry, then this river should only lack rain and water at night. I don't know what is wrong with the ghost domain."

There are cracked dry lines all over the river bank, and dust is coming in.Two rows of manjusawa lay limply on the side of the road, almost dying of lack of water.

Both Kite Shiren and Manjushahua belong to the family of plants and trees.He couldn't bear to see it, and stretched out his hand to sprinkle two strings of water drops with spiritual power on the riverside.Those withered manjusawa flowers once touched, they re-glowed the enchanting blood color, straightened up the curly flower stems, exuding a rich and charming fragrance.

Strands of transparent and slender petals complement each other with the blood moon in the sky.

They waved their graceful branches and pointed down at Jin Tobimuro.

The two looked down.It turned out that there was an old black wooden boat lying on the river bed.

The ghosts who were trapped at the bottom of the river for various reasons were densely gathered around the wooden boat.According to the rules of the Styx River, if someone falls into the river, they don't need to drink Meng Po soup, and they will keep the memory of this life forever, but they will sink to the bottom of the river forever, and they will never be able to enter reincarnation.

"Come down." A dry and shriveled river bottom water ghost persuaded with a hoarse voice, "Now that there is no water in Fanchuan, walking at the bottom of the river will not suck your soul away."

Another ghost who was roasted withered echoed: "Yes. Don't take the boat. Without water, this boat can't float at all. We are too thirsty to catch you."

Their voices were weak and hoarse, and they were paralyzed at the bottom of the river, unable to move, and their faces were dry and wrinkled.

Hearing the two ghosts talking, Yuanshiren and Xie Sheng looked at each other.

At this time, those manjusawa started to move again, they still pointed to the wooden boat on the river bed, moving neatly.

Seeing this, Xie Sheng took Yuanshiren's arm and walked down: "Aren, follow me."

After that, the two jumped into the boat.

The wooden boat floated from the river bed as if it were alive, and slowly floated forward without oars.

The two water ghosts were furious and finally showed their original shape.

"Haha! You guys are smart!"

"There are those ugly flowers to help you!"

The little ghosts under the boat stretched out their arms one after another, howling in a low voice: "Come and accompany us... accompany us..."

"We are so miserable..."

Xie Sheng and Yuanshiren sat on one side, ignoring the little ghosts in the river.

Xie Sheng's eyes were dark and deep.He became worried about Xie Nan.

I don't know if his kind-hearted tenth brother will trust the words of these water ghosts.

He thought, his tenth brother is so smart, he shouldn't be easily fooled.

The hull undulates and shakes back and forth, as if swimming on a real river.

"Don't stand up." Xie Sheng looked at the pitch-black scene in front of him, "Fanchuan Ghost Domain is ahead. Sit still."

Amidst the black mist, a gleam of green light gradually emerged.

Fanchuan ghost domain has arrived.
