Cannibalism

The two people who were listening in the corner behind both knew that now Ni Xian was at most expressing some emotions about the former friendship, and it was absolutely impossible to repent and admit his mistakes.

As Ni Xian expected, half an hour later, a group of foreigners really came outside Liuguo Village.This group of people was dressed in rags, they were skinny and skinny, and their muddy faces were devoid of hope. It was obvious at a glance that they had suffered some natural or man-made disasters recently.

But because they came up the mountain to pray for immortals to solve the disaster, they finally had a bit of resentful anger left in their eyebrows and eyes.As soon as they looked up and saw the stage in the distance, they widened their eyes enviously.

One person exclaimed: "The same is the boundary of Hengshan Mountain, why is there such a big difference between the south and the north!"

By the firelight of the stage, they glanced around.Having experienced a monstrous flood, the scene in front of them is almost like a paradise for them.The terrain in the village is slightly steep, and the crop fields are rolling up and down on the small hills in the distance, disappearing boundlessly under the cover of night.Men, women and children gathered happily in front of the stage, listening to the Weaver Girl and Cowherd on the stage singing about their entanglement and love in the mortal world.

The singing and music are integrated with the chirping of insects and birds in the trees.There is also a lotus pond with gurgling water over there, and the sound of frogs can be heard.

This atmosphere is really wonderful, so wonderful that people don't want to bother.

"The difference is too big." The other person entered the village eagerly, looked around and sighed, "It seems that the gods in Liuguo Village are really powerful, and they have protected the whole village in the Peach Blossom Spring."

There was another person behind him with red eyes: "Huh, they eat and drink here, why should we suffer like that, it's not fair. Thanks to the fact that we have worshiped bees as gods for hundreds of years in Wisconsin."

"It's all the fault of that broken bee, which ate our offerings. He was in his position but he didn't do anything about it. Now it's all right, our home is gone, and his temple is flooded. What a liar."

When they walked to the stage, they happened to see the beautiful Seven Fairies on the stage, shaking off their sleeves and singing:

"The sun is shining and the clouds are blooming,

Floating down to earth,

I don't love the fairy days,

Willing to be mandarin ducks flying together. "

"Wish to be like mandarin ducks and fly together..."

Someone in the audience cheered while eating melon seeds: "Good singing, I will give you some money, young master."

The villagers chatted while applauding.From trivial conversations, I learned that the troupe came from the east of Shenzhou and had been stationed for more than ten days.

Xie Sheng smiled with the corners of his lips curled up: "It's a good song, but it's a pity that the Seventh Fairy still loves her fairy days."

Tobishi Jin looked at him: "What?"

"It's nothing." Xie Sheng raised his head and pointed: "The people of Weizhou have come to Liuguo Village, let's see what they do next."

The group asked a local villager for directions, then turned and walked towards the Frog Temple.

At first these people pushed and shoved and walked frivolously, but when they came to the entrance of the temple, they all coughed lightly, straightened their faces, and their eyebrows and eyes became serious.A middle-aged man who took the lead stood at the door and patted the dust off his body before he dared to open the door and go in, for fear that his bad luck would tarnish the gods inside the door.

The door was pushed open, and a huge frog carved out of granite appeared in front of everyone.The frog stood on the altar, calm and solemn, with a majestic appearance.Its inner core is black and white, the white rock is full of natural black spots, and the outside is stained with sterling silver by the villagers.The silver-plated stone carvings shone brightly in the candlelight, and the corners of the back reflected the flickering firelight, attracting all attention in an instant.

The people of Wisconsin, who have been living in cloudy weather for many days, have not seen anything dazzling for a long time, let alone an awe-inspiring statue.They immediately knelt down on the futons in front of the incense burner and kowtowed continuously: "God bless, help us to recede the flood! God bless!..."

"Can't they see it?"

Yuan Shiren and Xie Sheng each had a pair of eyes outside the window, both of them were full of doubts.Because this frog statue is wrapped in a circle of chaotic black mist, which has covered the silver surface on it.But the group of people still knelt on the ground, as if this frog could really bring them good luck.

The leader lit a stick of incense and inserted it among the densely packed incense feet.The rest of the people followed one after another, and the curling white smoke was filled with an elegant fragrance, lingering and spreading around the room.

Xie Sheng whispered: "There are quite a lot of incense feet left in this incense burner. People who don't know may think that there are offerings in Liuguo Village every day."

Hitoshi Tobishi furrowed his brows slightly.He saw the scattered cigarettes disperse for a while, then reunite together, penetrate into the body of the frog stone like a dragon, and then pass out, slowly being absorbed by the black mist surrounding it.

The offerings sent by the people of Weizhou are thus integrated with the disaster god.

This cloud of black mist seemed to grow stronger.

Tobishijin took a step back, lowered his eyes, and said, "There's something wrong."

After offering incense, these Weizhou people planned to leave.

Someone happily stood up from the futon and turned around in a circle: "Have you noticed that after worshiping the Frog God, your whole body suddenly feels refreshed?"

"Yes. I feel that I can still walk the ten-mile mountain road without panting."

The man who hadn't gotten up kowtowed his head again: "The gods came to the world, the frog god, you must protect our family from disasters and live in peace forever."

Before leaving, they said: "Frog God. After we go back, we will tell the neighbors that we want to worship you.

"We will bring our parents and fellow villagers to Liuguo Village to kowtow to you!"

Xie Sheng could see the black mist, but he couldn't see the incense stick flying through the frog like flying into the black mist.He is not a god, only a god can know where the curling cigarette flows.

Among the burned incense feet, a small piece of ashes was poured into the furnace.From the ashes, a thin smoke that was difficult to distinguish with the naked eye floated into the black mist that enveloped the idol.

Tobishi Jin's frown deepened: "No..."

At this moment, a little girl wearing purple jasmine on her hair came outside the temple.The two recognized at a glance that the girl was the peddler who delivered flowers on the street in the evening.

The little girl knelt on the futon piously, lit three incense sticks, and inserted them into the incense burner.She kowtowed, clasped her hands together and said, "Frog God, Frog God, Mother is already looking for a man in the village to be my husband-in-law for me. A few days ago, a matchmaker came to propose a marriage, but I don't like any of them. May the frog God bless me, so that I can marry a good family in the future."

After speaking, she kowtowed again and left.

Just like the situation of those men, the incense offered by the little girl also gathered into a wandering dragon and flew into the black mist.

Tobishi Jin finally understood what was wrong.Before Xie Sheng could react, he appeared immediately, strode into the temple, jumped into the air, and slashed at the frog statue with his arms.

However, the frog stone statue seemed to be covered with a layer of golden bell, and after a bang, it was not damaged at all, not even a stone corner was cut off.

It seems to be the effect of this black mist.

Xie Sheng quickly followed in.

"Are you here?" The black mist swayed slightly, and said complacently, "I didn't expect you to come to Liuguo Village, it's really overwhelming."

Yuan Shiren ignored him, but looked around and said, "Where did Ni Xian go? He's not here."

The black mist turned into a person and appeared in front of the two: "Of course. How can I let him see when I absorb the villagers' offerings?"

"Your appearance is... Ni Xian."

The incarnation of Hei Wu looks exactly the same as Ni Xian's, except that there is some strange purple light in those eyes, and the skin is cold and dull.

God of Calamity was wearing a purple-black wide monk robe, making him look particularly thin.His long hair hangs down his waist, making his neck slender.Obviously wrapped in a monk's robe, this attire is a hundred times more seductive than the real Ni Xian.

"Since I am parasitic on his stone statue, let's become him." Calamity God looked down at his outfit, "It's okay."

Yuan Shiren took a step forward and said, "The people in the village are not dead at all, right?"

"I never said they were dead." The corners of Calamity God's mouth rose sharply, with a smug expression on his face.

"They haven't left either." Yuanshiren looked into his purple eyes, "This place has never been a deserted village. Liuguo Village has always been as peaceful and peaceful as tonight..."

Calamity God grinned: "You're right."

Xie Sheng was taken aback.

"Originally, like Xie Sheng, I thought that you, God of Calamity, had boundless powers and could conjure up a lifelike village, fooling everyone, even mountain gods like us." Yuan Shiren looked at the burning candle on the desk. Xiang, "But there are some things that can't be changed no matter how strong the spiritual power is. For example, the incense that the girl offered you just now was all sucked away by you. If it was a deception, these incenses would never be transformed into divine power. These incense sticks are real, and people are alive. Look, am I wrong?"

God of Calamity nodded: "Yes, you are absolutely right."

The knot in Xie Sheng's heart that he couldn't figure out was finally untied.His mind was spinning quickly, and he suddenly realized: "I understand. So in the beginning, you deceived the frog god Ni Xian and made him think that he was abandoned by the villagers?"

Calamity God pointed to Yuanshiren, with a smile on his face, and said: "When did you realize that my blindfold is flawed?"

Yuan Shiren replied: "Until now, I dare not say that there are any flaws in the blindness used by the disaster god. When we came to Liuguo Village, we saw this deserted scene, and heard the frog god who lost his god book say that the villagers They all left. Therefore, Xie Sheng and I have always believed that the whole village has been abandoned and there are no more offerings, so the Frog God lost his divine book. Even if I saw the villagers being transformed back by you at night, I never I had some doubts. Until Xie Sheng said a word to me."

Calamity God asked: "What are you talking about?"

Xie Sheng and Huashen had a good understanding, but they guessed it in a blink of an eye: "From nothing to easy, from nothing to difficult. The same is true of blinding eyes."

Tobishi Ren said: "Exactly this sentence. Why don't we do a reverse thinking. If the God of Calamity can really make it seamless from scratch, then why not try to make it from nothing first? After all, doing blindfolds makes It is much easier for the people in the village to disappear than to bring them back to life. With such doubts in my heart, I came to the Frog Temple to observe the villagers offering incense to the stone statues. If they can burn real offerings, it means that they are living people. "

Xie Sheng followed Yuanshiren's train of thought and continued: "Just now, after Ah Ren's reminder, I guess, maybe you placed the real Liuguo Village in a hidden enchantment while the Frog God was out, and you used a trick to hide it." Dress it up as if the villagers had migrated away. After Ni Xian came back, he thought the villagers had abandoned him, and he became angry because of this, and he had the idea of ​​robbing his friend's god, so he decided to summon you."

"You guys have already guessed pretty well." The monster-like "Ni Xian" chuckled, "It's just that I guessed wrong in one point. It wasn't me he summoned, but the mountain flood disaster god."

The two said in unison: "Aren't you the god of mountain flood disaster?"

He squinted his eyes and replied: "I told you that I am the god of disasters, but I just made a mistake. The first thing Ni summoned was the god of disasters, but at that time he was already blinded by the fear of losing his godhood. Ni Xian’s technique was halfway through, and I appeared on my own initiative. He regarded me as the god of disasters, so I am. No need to explain too much. I made an agreement with him to parasitize on his stone statue and cut it open The mountain range diverted the river course, which led to floods and brought disaster to Weizhou."

Floods are not unique to the God of Mountain Floods. Any god can find a way to attract disasters, but this requires a lot of divine power.But it doesn't matter, if you can parasitize on the stone statue of the true god and get a city's enshrinement, this bit of divine power is just a piece of cake.

"Wait, there's one more thing I don't understand." Xie Sheng still had a last knot in his heart that he couldn't get rid of. "Since the villagers at that time did not disappear, they must still regard the frog god as a heavenly man in their hearts. Why? Ah Ren also said, the aura on Ni Xian's body is almost disappearing?"

Yuan Shiren glanced at Xie Sheng, his eyelashes lowered: "I also want to ask."

If they could figure out this question before, they wouldn't be able to guess the truth until now.

Fake Ni Xian shook his sleeves, brushed off the soot on his body, and replied: "After the agreement was made, I have taken over Ni Xian's stone statue and temple with full authority, and told him that I will do it in the temple. During this time, no one is allowed to approach easily, so that he won’t be able to see me smoking and offering. I didn’t leave him any, and of course his godhood will slowly disintegrate.”

"Despicable." Xie Sheng looked down on him from the bottom of his heart, and also looked down on the perfidious Ni Xian.

"You asked him to hand over the temple, and he agreed to hand it over? He wants so much to be enshrined in Weizhou and steal his friend's god?" Yuanshiren thought that there was something wrong with his ears.This is simply a big joke.No god would hand over the right to use their own temple to others at will, let alone a villain with evil intentions.

The other party said in a absent-minded tone: "He did have hesitation when signing the contract at the beginning. I told him that there is no enshrinement in this village anyway, and I will go to the prosperous and prosperous Weizhou by then, and I will have everything I want. He After thinking about it, I was gradually convinced, and I agreed."

"Who are you?" Xie Sheng scrutinized him for a long time without any clue, "Even me and Flower God can't see through the tricks you set up."

When they first stepped into Liuguo Village during the day, they thought it was an out-and-out deserted village.No one has been able to discover the clues of blindness.

Hearing this question, "Ni Xian"'s purple pupils flickered suddenly, the candles in the temple flickered and danced, the windows and doors were wide open, and they clattered against the walls, creating a strange and unpredictable atmosphere.

"Since you are so curious, I will tell you with great kindness." His pupils became brighter and brighter, emitting a dazzling light like the sun——

Xie Sheng covered his eyes and called out, "Aren!"

Tobishi Jin closed his eyes, "I'm here."

This burst of intense light temporarily blinded their eyes.

"My name is Blind Eyes." Fake Ni Xian's voice was as calm as a pool of stagnant water, "Blind Eyes with One Leaf Blind Eye. Confusing people's eyes is a technique I have possessed since I was born."

Blind Eyes is a giant beast that parasitizes and absorbs divine power. He can move around without being summoned.He lives under the cracks of emotions and desires.All blind emotions and desires let him do whatever he wants.

The remaining two covered their eyes.What they have lost now is not only the vision to gain insight into the world, but also the sense of security supported by vision.Yuan Shiren held Xie Sheng's hand tightly, using the spiritual power in his body to rush and harmonize the acupuncture points around his eyes.He reached out to touch, and accidentally touched Xie Sheng's side face.

Xie Sheng's cheeks are tenderer than his age, and softer than his temperament, smooth and smooth.

Tobimuro Jin touched a few drops of viscous liquid on his face.Tobishijin withdrew his hand and sniffed, but he smelled a bloody smell.

"You are hurt."

"It's okay." Xie Sheng directly wiped off the blood on his face, "It's just a small injury. It's you, are you okay?"

Just when Tobishiren was about to answer, a trace of cold air crawled up his back from behind.Of course, Xie Sheng noticed the momentary stiffness of Huashen's arm, he stretched out his hand and pulled Huashen into his arms.

Xie Sheng put his neck against Yuanshiren's head, and said to the blindfolded Yuanshiren behind him: "Shameless person. What do you want to do?"

At the same time, the spiritual power in Hitoshi Tobishi's body had already broken through the obstacles set by the barrier, he quickly opened his eyes, and when he raised his eyes, he felt the flames around him.He saw two lines of blood and tears streaming down the face that was close at hand.

It turned out that Xie Sheng's eyes were bleeding.

Although Xie Sheng couldn't see it, he turned his sword-like eyebrows towards the direction where the blind eye made the sound.

Zhanmu watched the two hug each other inappropriately, and shook his head helplessly: "I just want to say something off topic. I think the origin of this little flower god...is extraordinary, so I want to recommend him to a place."

——Extraordinary.

Tobishijin asked in surprise, "Where are you going?"

Xie Sheng stopped him and said, "Aren! Be careful not to be fooled."

Blind Eyes replied: "Hanshan Temple outside Gusu City. Don't go there during the day, go only in the middle of the night. I believe you will gain something."

He turned around, and a cold smile spread from the corner of his mouth.

——Blindsight can cover people's eyes with resentment, fear, desire to survive, and even the most beautiful love in the world, making lovers in the world feel like strangers, or even turn each other into enemies.

And he himself sees more clearly than anyone else.

At this time, Ni Xian was squatting on the stone steps of the pond, hearing the sound of frogs one after another.

"Stealing the frog! Stealing the frog!" A child's voice came from a few steps away.

The child was about four or five years old, with a cute sky-high pierced on his head, and ran towards Ni Xian.

Ni Xian ignored him.He didn't want to talk to a puppet infused with human smoke.

"This is the frog we raised." The child pointed to the frog in the pond and said, "Daddy said, here are all the frogs we raise, no outsiders are allowed to touch them."

Ni Xian was still squatting there, looking straight at the temple not far away, with a little sadness and expectation in his eyes.

"Why don't you talk, you thief!"

"Hmph." The child blushed with anger and ran away in a hurry.

He thought that no one would disturb him anymore, but there are always a few ignorant puppets who want to break his tranquility.The child led his parents over.

"Father, mother, it's him, it's him!" The child with the sky-barrel pierced up refused to let go, "He wants to steal our frog."

The man was carrying a hoe, and his face was full of flesh.He had no clothes on, his nostrils smelled of sweat, his stomach and chest were very greasy, and the sight of Frog God Ni made him sick.

"Little brother, where did you come from?" The woman who came up had a kind expression on her face, "This is the holy place of our Liuguo Village, and outsiders are not allowed to enter. Please leave."

But that man has a violent temper: "Where did you come from, you have such no eyesight? Do you know that this is the place where we worship the Frog God?! Get out of here quickly, and don't let us see your feet defile the god's realm again!" .”

When he heard the words "serve the frog god", Ni Xian's vision suddenly burst into flames.He turned into a frog body, croaked twice, and his body expanded rapidly.

——worship me?Serve me up?I have treated you sincerely for hundreds of years, but you have treated me like this!

Die for me!

But in the blink of an eye, he has become six or seven people tall, his feet are longer than a person's, his mouth is puffing out again and again, and the rough breath that he breathes overturns the child's soaring glove.

"Crack."

The child fell to the ground in fright, and after a while, urine leaked out from the crotch pants.The flesh-faced man was so frightened that his legs lost strength. He let go of the hoe, picked up the child tremblingly, turned around and ran away.

But he couldn't run faster than Ni Xian.Ni Xian's frog has grown taller, and a single step can shake the ground.He took a step forward and stomped the man on the soles of his feet.With a creaking sound, the bones of the man's whole body were shattered, he was trembling convulsively, his face was bleeding from all the orifices, and his death was particularly miserable.

Seeing the death of his father, the child was at a loss and did not dare to move, so he burst into tears.Ni Xian lowered his head, stretched out a snake-like red letter, vomited and swallowed the boy easily.

"Anyway, it's just a puppet, a puppet conjured up by the God of Mountains and Floods." Ni Xian said in his heart, "You left me ruthlessly that day, why did I still live a life full of shackles and shackles in accordance with the laws of the spiritual world??"

"My son, you died so badly!" The woman sat on the ground, hugging Ni Xian's frog feet tightly with her hands, and shouted for fear that he would escape, "Hurry up, someone! There is a monster in the frog's foot!" Do evil in the pool of gods!"

Ni Xian smiled disdainfully, jumped up from the ground with a flick of his legs, and when he flew to the sky tens of feet high, he flicked the soles of his feet.The weak woman was thrown directly from the sky by him and fell to her death.

There was a loud bang, and Ni Xian jumped in front of the stage when he fell.When everyone saw him, they couldn't care less about listening to the opera, and fled in haste.

It was supposed to be a peaceful and quiet day in the village, but near midnight, bloodshed enough to massacre the village occurred.A strange frog jumped out from the field, and for unknown reasons, it started killing.

"Let you leave me. Let you leave me!" Ni was now losing his mind under the killing. At this moment, he just wanted to get more blood on his palms.

"Help!"

"Come here!"

"There are strange frogs eating people!"

Everyone was in a mess, and they fled in all directions, not daring to stay.

But Hua Dan on the stage didn't seem to see anything, her eyes were still full of affection, her face was full of smiles, and her figure was more enchanting than a woman's.He continued to sing in a soft tone:

"The sun is shining and the clouds are blooming,

Floating down to earth,

I don't love the fairy days,

Willing to be mandarin ducks flying together. "
