Tai sui

Xu Rucheng blurted out a Yuzhou dialect: "The mourning..."

He remembered Tai Sui's nonsense answer just now - this is a slaughterhouse.

Xu Rucheng joined Lu Wu not only to serve the country, but also to avenge. He knew that he would deal with all kinds of evil spirits in the future, and he was ready to go underground. At this time, he was still terrified.When I was young, the ghost stories that adults told to scare children came up one after another, such as human flesh buns, heart and liver medicine...

"do not move."

Xu Rucheng was about to take a step forward, but was stopped by Tai Sui.He came back to his senses, stretched out his hand and wiped his face, trying to get rid of the messy thoughts in his head.

Nonsense...that's all country folks' nonsense...

Human flesh is no better than pork, beef, and mutton. Who would eat human flesh?Besides, how can these children have meat?Aren't there so many spirit beasts and medicines in Nanshu that are easier to use than ordinary people?

"Who are these people?"

Tai Sui said: "One of the specialties of the black market in Yehu Township is called Lingxiang Doll."

"...What baby?"

"Spiritual child is a kind of insurance." Tai Sui said calmly in the gloomy dungeon, "The nobles of the Chu state want to prolong their lives, and they will not grow old for a hundred years. Many people open their spiritual apertures privately. Anyway, they will give Sanyue some protection every year. Fees are enough. But the aura in the world is thin and unevenly distributed, and the meridians are not soaked by the aura. If you are lucky, you will leave a wound on your orifice. If you are unlucky or in poor health, let alone prolong your life, you have to see your ancestors on the spot , Opening the spiritual orifice is like gambling with one's life. The nobles cherish their lives, so even if they are fully prepared, they will provide themselves with an insurance policy—the spirit doll."

Xu Rucheng, who had never heard of it, asked, "How to protect it?"

"Buy a living person whose spirit is close to your own, usually over 12 years old and under 16 years old, the ones that are too small are not strong, and the ones that are too big are not clean, and then use a Western Chu secret method to connect the buyer with the boy's spiritual orifice. Connecting, it is the spiritual doll... You can understand it as a kind of substitute. When the buyer opens the spiritual aperture, the spiritual energy pouring into the body will be divided by half by the doll. In this way, even if the buyer has incomplete spiritual infiltration The impact will be much smaller, and almost no spiritual orifice injuries will be left."

Xu Rucheng was dumbfounded for a moment.

Xie Chong is a fart, Xie Chong himself has scars on his spiritual orifice, how can these Dongheng dignitaries know how to play!

"Close your mouth, don't look like a country bumpkin," Tai Sui said "Tsk", "The supply of Lingxiang babies in the Daji of Yehu Township is in short supply. The Snake King has never heard of such a useful forbidden technique when he opened his spiritual aperture. He has left a spiritual wound all over his body, and he has been brooding about it all the time, and he has the highest commission for this business. This is your big sponsor."

Xu Ru intentionally said: The big benefactor of the dog day.

"After the buyer has opened his spiritual aperture, what about these children?"

Tai Sui said impatiently: "The unprepared mortal meridians are hit by a large amount of spiritual energy, what do you think will happen? If the death looks good, why would the buyer who spent so much money leave these spiritual babies in the slaughterhouse instead of taking them away? "

Xu Rucheng's mind was "buzzing"—that is to say, the child who was regarded as a spiritual energy container would still be locked up here, and he didn't know when he would suddenly explode and die.

"The buyer... the buyer still knows that he can't bear to look at it?"

"Nonsense," Tai Sui said, "Haven't you heard of 'Gentleman stays away from cook'?"

Xu Rucheng - a mang who participated in the rebellion five years ago - heard that he wanted to resume his old career in Western Chu, his eyes slowly fell on the stone platform in the middle of the dungeon.

"Oh, that's for disposing of corpses. Spiritual dolls were hit to death by a large amount of spiritual energy. Corpses are good things and should not be wasted." Tai Sui said, "There is a lot of spiritual energy mixed in flesh and blood, which can be used as feed for spiritual beasts; internal organs can be used for alchemy. It’s cheaper than using spirit beasts; when you’re lucky, you can even unravel a small piece of spirit bone, the best refining tool, and…”

Xu Rucheng started to feel nauseous: "What else?"

Tai Sui paused for a moment, his voice seemed to suppress a strange smile: "Isn't it better to offer sacrifices to the evil gods during festivals and festivals? There is plenty of aura, isn't it more honorable than beef and horse meat?"

Xu Rucheng covered his mouth and blocked the retching.

Tai Sui said before that the Snake King would use "raw meat" to enshrine the statue of the reincarnated wood god... He is [-]% sure now that the so-called "Tai Sui Xingjun" is trapped in the reincarnated wood. It's become bacon strips.

"Using human flesh as a tribute, is he not afraid of being struck by lightning? Or is he acquiescing that what he offered is a demon... No, senior, I didn't mean you..."

Tai Sui said in a moody way: "That's not true. That ugly monster thinks that no matter what kind of gods are cannibals-what do gods eat if they don't eat people? Do they eat whole grains like people?"

Xu Rucheng: "..."

Uncle and grandpa, what that evil creature said was quite reasonable, but he couldn't refute it for a while!

"Is it okay to die?"

"Dacheng strong man, do you think everyone is like you, can you cut gold and cut jade with a hatchet? Look at these little devils who have grown up like this. They haven't had a few full meals since they were born. It's not necessarily true when they are good. If you have the strength to stab yourself to death, not to mention there are medicines in your diet. Even if you can get a sharp weapon and wipe your neck successfully, the blood will have to be sprayed for a while before you die, and you will get back a dose of elixir." Tai Sui said, "If you can't die, you still have to die." Want me to elaborate?"

Xu Rucheng didn't think about it at all: "Senior, if you had told me earlier that I wouldn't hesitate to swear that there is no demon, what do you want me to do?"

"You?" Tai Sui paused, then said indifferently, "Oh, I can do whatever you want."

Xu Rucheng let out a sigh of relief: "...Didn't you send me to save people?"

"I sent you to deliver the food, okay?" Tai Sui sighed, "Big Brother, there is at least one Foundation Establishment sitting here right now, and there are probably a dozen or so enlightened evil spirits. You can't even steal more than 20 steamed buns. Still want to steal people."

Xu Rucheng didn't care about his tiger-wolf words, and quickly calculated: He has already remembered the future, if he goes back and asks for help, how sure are they that they will be able to uncover this evil lair?Foundation Establishment... The other party actually has Foundation Establishment... If it really doesn't work, it's good to give these children a good time, and it can be considered good deeds...

Tai Sui seemed to know what he was thinking: "Kill this group, they will become new spirit babies, or you are supernatural enough to kill all these evil spirits... Heh, these people have monopolized the wild foxes. If you kill the spirit doll business in the township, those jealous evil spirits may be happy to set up a longevity tablet for you."

Xu Rucheng was so overwhelmed by this basin of cold water that he couldn't find his way: "No, senior, then what on earth did you ask me to do?"

Tai Sui said: "The third bald boy from the left, and the girl sitting in a daze on the far right, they each have a god card made of reincarnated wood... Oh, there is a piece under the table in the slaughtering table, you take it Come and destroy it for me, that's all. The rest has nothing to do with me, do what you like."

After hearing his inexplicable instructions, Xu Rucheng was even more confused.Relying on the stealth charm on his body, he came to the slaughtering platform, avoiding the stumped limbs on the platform, and sure enough, he took out a reincarnation wooden token from the gap at the bottom of the stone platform.

Carved on the wooden sign is a rather rough image of a god named "Tai Sui" - the sign of Tai Sui.

Reincarnation tree likes tides and shades. It is a common tree species along the Xiajiang River and at the junction of Wan and Chu. Seeing that the land snake in Yehu Township worships Tai Sui, many local people blindly follow suit, praying that this unknown god can bless the king of snakes. Bless them all the same.In Shishili Town, you can buy Tai Sui God cards at many stalls selling groceries.

He just turned the magic card to the back, and he gasped as if his eyes were stinging, only to see a small bloody handprint on the back of the wooden card, and a deep nail scratch on the handprint.Xu Rucheng could almost imagine that when the aura of Mie Ding was photographed, the terrified child had nowhere to escape, and could only pour all his desire to survive on this wooden sign... hoping that someone would come to save him.

When a person is about to die, how much power can he unleash?That little hand even left a scar on the wooden sign, and he didn't let go until his death, until the body was dragged away and dismembered, and then rolled down mixed with blood under the stone platform that no one cared about.

Why did this evil god destroy his god card?

"forward……"

Before he could ask, Tai Sui interrupted him: "It's none of your business. Letting you destroy a few wooden signs won't hurt your moral conscience, right?"

The demon oath was hanging above his head, even though Xu Rucheng felt stuck in his throat, he had no choice but to do as he said, and went to get the other two wooden plaques.

He didn't even need to get close to the iron cage to touch things from these mortal teenagers. He quickly took the wooden sign from the sleeping boy and came to the little girl.

I don't know if it's a coincidence or what, across the iron cage, the girl's empty eyes just happened to be staring straight at Xu Rucheng's direction, and the eyes of the two met in reality.

Xu Rucheng's outstretched hand stopped in the air.

Tai Sui: "Doesn't the Sleeping Curse work?"

"Yes," Xu Rucheng looked at the girl with good eyes, and after being silent for a long time, he murmured, "Senior, I don't know why you want to destroy your own magic cards, but are you going to take away their only sustenance? "

Tai Sui sneered, "Isn't it stupid to entrust yourself to a piece of bad wood?"

The corners of Xu Rucheng's mouth tightened suddenly.

Tai Sui: "Don't talk nonsense..."

"Stupid." Xu Rucheng pulled his gaze away from the girl's dry eyes, and looked up at the chilly inscription on the top of the dungeon.

How not stupid?Back then, his parents, uncles, grandma, fellow countrymen and old friends... Aren't the girls in his heart all such stupid poor people who dreamed of being saved by gods and Buddhas?

"Stupid, there are no fools who are desperate. I know that I have sworn by the heart demon. I will get you the wooden sign and urge you to be tough! Aren't you disgusting when a believer takes the flesh and blood of another believer and puts it on you?" Confession!" Xu Rucheng suddenly raised the voice that only he and the evil god could hear, "Do you know what it means to be desperate? Do you know what it's like to be born without autonomy? You don't know anything, can you at least say it with your mouth? Give them a bit of dignity! Do it well, Shenjun!"

Tai Sui's heart is as hard as a stone, and he is not moved when he hears the words: "The heart demon swears."

"Fuck!" Xu Rucheng cursed angrily, his eyes were red, and out of thin air, he squeezed a sleeping charm and hit the little girl's forehead.

The girl kept sitting with her knees tucked up, tilted her head, and fell asleep just like that.

Xu Rucheng hooked his fingers in the air, and a Reincarnation Wood God card flew out of the girl and landed in his hand.Veins popped up on the back of his hand, and the three wooden signs instantly turned into powder: "Is it alright!"

"Good boy." Tai Sui seemed to let out a long breath, and after a while, he resumed that nasty tone, "Even if you go back to rescue the soldiers, it is impossible to wipe out this group of evil spirits without anyone noticing. If you are exposed, your Patriarch's arrangement in Shiqili Town will be useless.

Xu Rucheng gritted his teeth with a "crack" and said, "Remind me if you are not firm."

Tai Sui didn't bother with him, and smiled softly: "Xichu is a hellish place, with many mountains and forked roads, natural disasters occur frequently, and there are rarely years when the whole country is safe. These children are all brought from the disaster-stricken places You can get a handful of cheap coppers to make spirit dolls, but a doll sells at least one box of spirits. Who wouldn’t be jealous of such a lucrative business? Foundation-building cultivators walk sideways in the mortal world. When do you see them like this? Hide your head and show your tail?"

Xu Rucheng stopped abruptly.

"This is the 'Fleeing County'. The most important thing is the desperadoes. If you don't hurry up to spread the news and kill someone with a knife, what are you waiting for? When they get to Shiqili Town and another accident occurs, it will fall into your hands. "Tai Sui said in a tone of hating wood and not being enlightened, "What kind of Highness did you say your lord last time? Where did he dig you out of this living stick? Why didn't anyone teach you how to be an evil spirit before he came here? "

Xu Rucheng ran away.

"Hey, watch carefully, I won't catch you if you step on a trap. I just gave you a free lesson, so it's not too much for you to do things for me?"

Xu Rucheng: "What?"

Then I heard Tai Sui say: "I want you to cut down all the reincarnated trees within a hundred miles of Yehu Township. From now on, in the whole Tao County, no one is allowed to worship Tai Sui, and no one is allowed to keep the Tai Sui god card privately."

Xu Rucheng's eyes flashed, and he thought about it: Sure enough, he was trapped in the reincarnation tree, so it sounds like, if he wants to escape, he must destroy all the reincarnation trees around him.

With a guess in his mind, he tentatively said: "The one enshrined in the Immortal Palace is also..."

Tai Sui interrupted him earnestly: "Cheng'er, you should put your big head on your neck to seduce little girls. Don't play tricks in front of me. Otherwise, if I laugh at you, you will cry again. I can't help but laugh." Tired too."

Xu Rucheng: "..."

The son of a bitch.

"How to deal with that is up to you. I'm afraid I will come out to cause trouble if the statue is gone, so you can continue to burn incense with it." Tai Sui said indifferently, "Just remember to burn incense and take a bath when you burn incense, and you are not allowed to be injured or sick... …You are not allowed to eat spicy food, you are not allowed to eat garlic, and you are not allowed to eat cured meat or bacon. It is against a vow of your heart to eat back.”

Xu Rucheng was at a loss, not knowing what was wrong with this evil god.

Three days later, on the night of the new moon, where no one knew, the Tao County Slaughterhouse lit up with blood.

The secrecy inscriptions in the slaughterhouse are at the second level, and it is impossible for the Immortal Shengling to break them without a sound.However, in the fierce conflict between several monks, someone fished in troubled waters and swept away all the spiritual dolls.Those who attacked were well prepared, and immediately cut off the spirit seal on the spirit baby's body without waiting to track them down, and fled.

Fighting is strictly prohibited in the black market of Yehu Township, but before entering Yehu Township, everyone can rely on their own abilities.The evil spirits are fighting and plotting to seize the treasure every day. This massacre is just that the movement is extra loud and the looted side is extra fat... and the nobles who are planning to open their spiritual apertures in this way may have lost their hopes.

At the same time, the Snake King in Shiqili Town suddenly issued an order for no reason, forbidding anyone to worship Tai Sui again.

In the area of ​​Yehu Township, what the Snake King said was not an imperial decree, but it was almost the same.

Local people say that he has a special supernatural power, can understand the language of birds, beasts and insects, and even mosquitoes are his scouts.As long as he thinks about it, he shouldn’t be able to hide the private conversations in the quilt from his old man’s ears—but this is of course a rumor, even if the Snake King can really understand mosquitoes, I’m afraid he can’t hear other news except "bite you bite you"- ——The Snake King is just a lot of dog legs, and he has set up more than a hundred monitoring circles in the streets and alleys of Yehu Township.

In short, the Snake King said that he would not let him worship, and the people were unwilling and dared not disobey.After giving an order, they didn't even dare to pray in private; the Snake King didn't allow the Tai Sui cards to be kept, and overnight, the Tai Sui cards in Shiqili Town—and even the entire Tao County almost disappeared.

But amidst Xu Rucheng's trepidation, the mysterious reincarnated wood statue remained unchanged.

The cunning evil god threw him away after using him, and never talked to him again.

Tai Sui said that he is a "tree spirit", not exactly a stick.

He was indeed born in the reincarnated wood, and since the budding of his consciousness, he has been trapped in the ugly statue, facing the ugly face of the Snake King every day.

He didn't know what he was, he couldn't tell if he was dead or alive, and he didn't know what he was going to do.Most of the time, he was in a daze, and occasionally dreamed of some fragmented fragments, which disappeared like bubbles before he could take a closer look.

When he was in Dawan and Yuzhou, the Snake King often led a group of fools to pay homage to him, and they called him "Tai Sui".

He hates these two words for no reason, but it's useless to hate them.Later, when others called it that, he got used to it, and gradually took "Tai Sui" as his own name.

Yuzhou was in turmoil, and Tai Sui was trapped in the wood.It wasn't until later that those who worshiped Tai Sui began to carve reincarnation wood into god cards and hang them on their houses and themselves.

The divine cards seemed to have a connection with him, and gradually, Tai Sui discovered that his "spiritual consciousness" could "flow" to those people along the divine cards, and taste what it was like to be a human being.

The taste of being a human is not very good - although Yuzhou is a territory of Dawan, it is only separated from Chu by a river, and its eating habits are more like that of Chu people. They love heavy salt and ingredients, especially salted food.Tai Sui was forced to "share joys and sorrows" with them. It was still fresh at the beginning, but within a few days it was smoked by various marinades and made me want to vomit.

So he came to the first conclusion about "self": he didn't like to eat like a human being.

Wood has no eyes, and Tai Sui is like a blind man. Only when the spiritual consciousness that spreads to others bounces back like a wave, can he slowly figure out what he is.

The divine consciousness was attached to the naughty boy wearing the god card, and he was beaten together. The naughty boy cried after being beaten, and he felt the "buttocks" and "palms" that he didn't have.Compared with spanking, he is more afraid of being spanked on the palm, and he doesn't know where the idea came from. He just thinks that when adults spank the palm, he is really angry.

It is even more painful if the consciousness falls on adults. They do repetitive things day after day. Those people are not doing well, but Tai Sui's consciousness will be fragmented from time to time.In the dark factory buildings and fields, he felt his wrists, shoulders, waist... and knees like needles.

He knows that when people are happy, their bodies will feel light; when they are expecting something, their chests will itch; when they are angry, their hair will heat up and their hearts will pound their ribs; ——No way, his attention is always drawn away by the painful parts of those people.

But despite the torture, mortals can still endure it, and he can make do with it, at least let him recognize all the organs on the human body.

This reincarnated Tai Sui who was born in Muli didn't understand anything at first, but when his spiritual consciousness became more entangled with these people, he became more sober. While learning a Yuzhou dialect, he somehow "knew" another dialect. Accent, but also vaguely recalled a lot of common sense...

Until the ugly monster in snakeskin led the people of Chu across the Xia River.

At that time, he hadn't figured out how many countries there were in the world, he didn't know what was immortal and what was evil, and he didn't know why the person who "enshrined" him had a snakeskin scar like a monster.

The people of Chu traveled eastward, Xuanyin quelled the rebellion, the gods used force, and the corpses of ants were everywhere.

Those who "believed" in him were betrayed by his "envoys", and the dead bounced death and resentment back to his consciousness mercilessly.He struggled repeatedly and "died" repeatedly for several months. When he opened his eyes again, he had already arrived in Chu State.

After this battle, his ignorant spiritual consciousness grew up overnight, and he knew "Xuanmen", "Xieyong", "Xuanyin" and "Three Mountains" without a teacher.

The snake-skinned evil spirit was just using him to show off and deceive him before, but then he probably felt that he was blessed, so for some reason, he also sincerely enshrined him.So Tai Sui's spiritual consciousness finally tasted all kinds of flavors through the snake king's spiritual consciousness, and he realized that he didn't hate eating, and even thought Chu Wei was okay...he just hated the food of those people with shoulder pain, low back pain and knee pain.

It is much more enjoyable to have the consciousness attached to the Snake King, especially after the ugly monster has taken root in Yehu Township, he can get whatever he wants-Tai Sui is drunk with money and money, and sometimes thinks of some more delicate and exquisite scenes.

But those things are useless, he is not interested in which famous expert made the gemstone belt of the Snake King, what about Cui Ji Yao Ji, he just wants the ugly life.

When he was in Yuzhou, he discovered that the more his spiritual consciousness was released, the more sober he would be when he bounced back, and the more sober he was, the stronger he would be.Tai Sui has a feeling that if his spiritual consciousness is strong to a certain extent, he might be able to influence real people in a way.

There are more and more people worshiping Tai Sui in Yehu Township, and he began to crazily release his spiritual consciousness - the people of Tao County who are like frightened birds, the attendants who are frightened, the evil spirits who died fighting, the dignitaries of Chu who are extravagant... And they put "cattle and sheep" under their chopsticks.At the beginning, he was active, but later, his spiritual consciousness began to be out of control. As long as someone visits with the divine card, he will be attracted to him involuntarily.

His originally weak spiritual consciousness curled up in the statue became stronger and stronger, but it also became more and more chaotic. He often got stuck on unknown people, and Zhuang Sheng turned me upside down like a dream butterfly.Fortunately, the killing intent was strong enough. In the past five years, the "Snake Killing King" has become a clear road sign, holding it firmly there, dragging him back from the brink of madness countless times.

Until the gang of assassins broke in.

As soon as the silly big man came in, Tai Sui's chaotic inspiration was suddenly touched, and the scattered consciousness instantly returned to its original position, and then he was shocked to find that there was a part of his long-lost spiritual consciousness on the web of the silly big guy!

The net was entangled on the statue, and the consciousness merged, and a distant memory floated out clearly.He thought of a girl named A Hua, and remembered that his consciousness had "walked" in the Reincarnation Wood.

He remembered that he was not a tree, he seemed to be a monk too.Someone collected the divine consciousness on his spiritual base into an illusion.But at that time, his spiritual sense, which had traveled through countless reincarnation trees, was far stronger than ordinary people, and he clearly knew that it was an illusion. Go upstream to find her.

He found the Xueqing Luozi where the girl was trampled into the mud. He didn't see anyone, and was walking around in the statue, but his consciousness suddenly seemed to be shattered, and he didn't know anything.

The shattered consciousness of the year merged into one, and at that moment, Tai Sui clearly felt that his body was detained in an undisclosed place, holding him like a chain of rules.

But he didn't bother to think about it—that stupid big guy with Luozi's causal line was three points deep, and even splashed blood on the reincarnated wooden god statue, he can finally talk to people!

He can finally kill the person who deserves to be killed!

The long-cherished wish of the past five years was fulfilled once, but the "Dinghaishenzhen" in his consciousness also disappeared.

The Taisui God Card has long been a specialty of Tao County, and even the spirit doll followed suit. The consciousness attached to the spirit doll fell apart along with the baby, and rolled back into the statue. He had had enough.

Fortunately, the silly man is easy to use and deceive, with his hands, Tai Sui cleaned up the reincarnated wood that kept pulling his consciousness, and finally gathered the scattered consciousness, and he was able to sleep.

Maybe this time, he could dream about what happened five years ago.

It doesn't matter if you don't see a dream, he has been a human being enough these years, he is not curious about his own body at all, he just wants to take a rest.

"Wow—"

In the haze, Tai Sui was suddenly startled by the sound of water, something touched his consciousness.

He crossed the quiet Shiqili Town, "looked" at the sound of the water, and "saw" a small boat floating on the gorge.

What the hell, where did the idiot go to burn incense?

Before he could "see" clearly, a familiar yet unfamiliar female voice rang in his ears: "This is Xichu."
