Chapter 198 More and more weird ruins (8000)
As soon as these words came out, the scene fell into an eerie silence. A cold wind suddenly blew around, and the candles on the table shook, causing light and shadow to intersect.
In the interlaced light and shadow, Xu Bai saw the face of the old Taoist in front of him, and it became more and more gloomy.
Especially those eyes, the original fairy bones no longer exist, and there is a cold light, which makes people feel chills down the spine.
In the interlacing of light and shadow, the bones that Xu Bai picked up with chopsticks, joint by joint, looked like human fingers, with the minced flesh and bones on them.
Xu Bai didn't move. After asking this sentence, he looked directly at the old Taoist priest in front of him, but his eyes became more and more cold.
What kind of **** pig tail bone, there are too many people who died in his hands, and it can't tell this. It's obviously a human finger, which was smoked into bacon by this old Taoist priest.
Reminiscent of the old bacon hanging in the backyard by the old Taoist, Xu Bai knew exactly whose bacon belonged to.
The old Taoist remained silent, staring coldly at the chopsticks in Xu Bai's hand.
After a long time, he finally spoke slowly.
"Of course it's from people. Haven't people in the industry like the Lord of Blessings eaten it?"
This sentence was just a simple question, but the tone of the question was extremely flat, and it seemed a bit weird when combined with Xu Bai's hand bones clamped on the chopsticks.
"People in the industry, have you eaten?"
Xu Bai can be sure that this old Taoist priest has not turned into Nian Shen, otherwise he would not have communicated with him.
But why is such an earth-shattering sentence spoken in a flat tone?
"A person in the industry must eat these?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.
The old Taoist picked up his chopsticks, found a bone in the pile of meat dishes, and kept sucking it in his mouth.
The cheeks are one by one, matching that old face, like a flexible old monkey.
"How can you live if you don't eat, please eat quickly, and rest early after eating."
"Since the world has changed, the same kind is also a kind of resource."
"I see that the blessed Lord is a person in the industry, so I brought out these good things for you to eat."
Every sentence is as plain as water, but the content of each sentence is astonishing.
Xu Bai put down his chopsticks and shook his head: "I'm not hungry."
A gust of cold wind blew again, and Xu Bai always felt that his eyes fell on him. When he looked back, it was only the empty backyard, but the direction he looked was the direction of the main hall.
"It's the statue."
This feeling of being stared at is the same as what I felt at the statue at the beginning. Xu Bai guessed that it should be related to the statue.
Does the old Taoist feel nothing at all?
Too evil.
Seeing that Xu Bai didn't want to eat, the old Taoist brought the plate of meat dishes in front of him, and ate it mouthful.
While eating, he was also talking vaguely.
"The days before the blessing of the Lord seem to have been hard enough, even these good things are put in front of you, and you are not willing to eat them."
Xu Bai smiled and said: "Since it is a good thing, the viewer is willing to share it with him, so he seems to be a magnanimous person."
He suddenly had a guess that this time period seemed to be at the later stage in the time of the Ten Thousand Nations Contest for Hegemony.
When the ruins appeared, including all the scenes at that time, some were in the front, some were in the back, no one can tell.
What the old Taoist said just now, the most important point is that now it seems that some people regard the same kind as resources.
Resources are nearly exhausted, cannibalism, and the world is in purgatory.
In Xu Bai's mind, such a picture was outlined.
A plate full of meat dishes, only three or two bites, was poured into the mouth by the old Taoist, chewing indiscriminately, not even letting go of the bones inside.
In the gloomy environment, there was a crackling sound.
The old Taoist wiped his oily mouth with his hands: "Of course the poor man is a kind person, but this meal is not free. Blessed Lord, if you don't eat meat dishes, you should also eat more vegetarian dishes. Eat more. That’s how to raise them to be white and fat.”
After the words fell, the old Taoist priest in front of him changed his face.
The greasy mouth slowly cracked open, from the corner of the mouth to the ear, full of sharp teeth.
Behind the old Taoist priest, two black shadows suddenly stretched out. The shadows were constantly entangled and turned into **** mouths, showing off their might in the midair.
"If you don't eat, how can you grow fat in vain? The poor food reserves are running out, and it's hard to see meat."
"Hurry up and eat, Pindao must raise you well, the quality of the meat is not bad."
"Eat, eat, eat more!"
While muttering, the old Taoist randomly put all the vegetarian dishes on a plate with both hands, and brought them to Xu Bai.
He stood up, and the long giant mouth made of black shadows behind him opened again, and a stench came from inside.
Xu Bai looked at the disgusting food in front of him, and at the long giant mouth. On the surface of the black shadow, he saw human faces.
The faces of these people were imprinted with pain and despair, struggling to get out of the black shadows, pulling out black silk threads, but they couldn't break free.
Xu Bai raised his eyebrows: "Is this what you have eaten?"
The old Taoist lifted up his robe, revealing his lame left leg.
"Isn't it normal for you to eat me and I to eat you? Look at this leg, it was eaten by the poor master. It's a pity that before he eats the poor, the poor eats him first. "
On the left leg, there has long been no flesh and blood, and from the knee down, it is all a piece of dry bone.
The long, sharp mouth composed of black shadows is approaching, and the smell of blood is becoming more and more obvious.
Xu Bai sighed: "Although you haven't become Nian Shen, but judging by the situation, you can't communicate normally, so you should die."
Up to now, the old Taoist priest can still speak, and has not turned into a mysterious and weird Nianshen, which proves that the old Taoist priest is still in front of him.
But looking at the current situation, if I don't eat it, I'm afraid it will lead to disaster.
Can I eat it?
Of course not.
The cooking oil is not necessarily lard. If you eat this stuff, you may spit out all your internal organs.
Then there is only killing.
Gold and off-white intertwined behind Xu Bai, covering the entire room, and the atmosphere of chaos gradually passed.
When the old Taoist heard the word "Nian Shen", he suddenly froze in place.
Immediately afterwards, he muttered to himself, with a struggling expression on his face.
"Nianshen... Nianshen... Am I dead? It turns out that I am already dead."
"Day and night, using people to enshrine statues seems to be killed by statues!"
"I worshiped you all my life, but you killed me!"
The madness on the old Taoist's face became more and more obvious, and there was an inexplicable black air covering his face.
"I'm dead, why are you still alive, blessed Lord, let's die together."
After these words were finished, the clarity on the old Taoist's face completely disappeared, turning into endless madness.
Weirdly crazy.
It's not like the irrational situation of Weird at all, but completely crazy.
This kind of madness can even arouse the surrounding area, making Xu Bai slightly swayed.
Xu Bai no longer holds back his hands, the person in front of him has completely turned into Nian Shen, there is no need to hold back his hands.
The next moment, a burst of bright sword light bloomed between Xu Bai's fingers, illuminating the entire night sky into white.
In the light of the sword, the old Taoist priest who was about to rush over suddenly froze, like a wood carving.
Cracks appeared on the face of the old Taoist priest, and the skin cracked and fell off like a mud tire, but it turned into a pile of loess in an instant and fell to the ground.
The gloom around him disappeared, Xu Bai waved his hand, and the sky disappeared.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the loess that the old Taoist turned into fluttered with the cold wind, turning into ashes all over the sky.
The candles flickered in the room, but Xu Bai's face was as cold as ice.
He felt the gaze, and once again felt the gaze from the statue, but instead of going to the main hall, he walked through each room.
After searching for a while, I didn't find anything worth noting, not even a progress bar.
Standing in the backyard, looking at the bacon hanging on the shelf in the backyard, Xu Bai felt sick for a while, and the gaze of the statue came again, as if there was something interesting about him.
"If you want my life so much, I'll see what you are."
Xu Bai didn't go directly to the main hall, but slowly raised his right hand, and pressed lightly on the front hall.
The next moment, Xu Bai's hands burst out with a bright light, and the hall in front turned into gray, but the statue remained intact.
Originally, Xu Bai was standing in the backyard. According to this position, the statue should be facing away from him.
But when the whole hall was turned into fly ash, the statue turned around strangely, facing him.
The dilapidated body and blurred facial features, although sitting cross-legged, this statue gives people a sense of desolation and dilapidation.
After the entire hall was reduced to ashes, Xu Bai could feel that the statue was staring at him more and more clearly. The cold feeling spread from his fingers and gradually covered his whole body.
"I understand, you are also thinking of God." Xu Bai said slowly.
There is no weirdness in the ruins, only thoughts of God.
In this horrible and strange state, there is no other possibility except for thinking of God.
A broken Taoist temple, but there are two Nianshen. Although the Taoist temple is small, it has all internal organs.
As Xu Bai said these words, the statue in front of him suddenly split open.
The cracks start from the top of the statue's head and go to the bottom.
This crack was small at first, but when the crack appeared, the statue began to shake violently.
The cracks gradually become larger, starting from the middle, a good statue becomes two halves.
The statue that turned into two halves fell to the ground and turned into a pile of rubble. In the place where the original statue was, there was a naked girl sitting cross-legged.
Xu Bai took a look with clear eyes.
There is no other reason. Although this girl is naked, she can't arouse any desire in people.
The young girl's skin is fair, but apart from the fairness, there are horrible wounds.
These wounds are densely packed, all over the body, and they are all stitched up with thread.
After the horrific wound was sewn up with thread, it looked like a disgusting earthworm, making people feel their scalp numb after just looking at it.
The girl kept her eyes closed. On her forehead, there were also wounds interlaced. The sutures from the corners of the eyes to the chin were black and blue.
At this time, Xu Bai felt a chill spread all over his body. Compared with the coldness just now, the temperature was so low that it was horribly low. He raised his left hand and saw that a layer of frost had already appeared on his hand.
"It's really a strange thing."
Xu Bai's heart skipped a beat.
The next second, his body was covered with golden and off-white patterns, giving him a special sense of enchanting beauty.
Indestructible Demon Soul Buddha Body!
The frost on his hands faded, and Xu Bai's true energy was rapidly disappearing.
He was like an anxious guest, rushing towards the girl in front of him.
"Come on, hurry up."
The girl finally opened her eyes. There were no eyeballs in the eyes, but a void.
When the girl opened her two empty eye sockets, the surrounding coldness became more and more obvious. The ground was covered with thick ice, and the sky was covered with heavy snow.
Xu Bai didn't stop, raised his palm, and gently slid across the track.
Behind him, gold and gray and white are constantly intertwined, and the chaotic slasher with the three swords and swords arrives in an instant!
Frost rose, resisting the destructive and dazzling blade glow, for a moment, it stopped the blade glow for a moment.
But it's just to stop for a moment.
Under the terrifying sword glow, the girl was gradually swallowed by the sword glow and turned into a pile of ashes.
Xu Bai put away Tianbian, and the patterns on his body gradually disappeared.
"Hoo..."
He breathed a sigh of relief. If he didn't have the three swords and the indestructible demon soul Buddha body, he would have won today's battle, but it was not easy to win. Fortunately, with these two skills, he won easily.
The naked girl didn't show any expression even at the moment of death.
This is thinking of God, not human at all.
The surrounding statues disappeared, and the sense of staring disappeared.
Xu Bai secretly said: "What happened here?"
After entering the Taoist temple, everything becomes weird. There is an old Taoist priest who eats people, and a girl who hides in a statue.
Xu Bai frowned, and gradually connected all the threads, but without any extra clues, he could only come up with a guess.
—The people here, even if they haven’t become Nian Shen, are probably not the people they used to be.
As the old Taoist said before, there are many places in this world that must have eaten each other because of resource problems.
In other words, the environment he is in now should be a scene like purgatory on earth.
"This is just one of the mountains. Maybe after I finish exploring this mountain, if it's still time for the ruins, I can go to other places to see."
Thinking about this, Xu Bai made up his mind, and searched in this Taoist temple again. After confirming that he couldn't find it, he walked out of this area and continued to walk up.
So we have to finish visiting this mountain first, and then go to other places.
Because it was getting late, only sporadic moonlight shone down, and the mountain road was hidden in the darkness, looming.
The surrounding woods were blown by the wind, making a rustling sound. In this quiet and deserted mountain, it seemed as if someone walked by and touched the leaves.
If an ordinary person walks here, in a dark environment, he will definitely be frightened into a serious illness.
Xu Bai's steps are easy, but his spirit has been covering the surroundings. Once there is any change, he can react immediately.
Walking, Xu Bai stopped suddenly, and he sensed something unusual ahead.
Under the induction of the soul, he saw a person lying on the ground in the dense forest ahead.
This man was dressed in tatters and was obese, like a round ball.
Both eyes were tightly closed, and there was a comfortable smile on that oily face.
"Fell asleep?"
In this environment, there is a man who is dressed in rags and falls asleep, and he is so fat.
People like this look abnormal. How can there be a person who is dressed in rags but is fat enough to look like a ball?
"Another person who hasn't become a god."
Xu Bai didn't hesitate at all, he raised his foot and walked in that direction. After walking for about half a stick of incense, he arrived at the position he sensed just now.
In the woods, there was only that open space. The fat man lying on the ground was still asleep. He didn't wake up until Xu Bai approached.
Xu Bai walked around this person, and finally spoke out.
"Wake up, the sun is out."
The obese man heard the sound, but he still didn't wake up. He turned around and changed from lying on his back to lying on his side.
The spherical body, shaking for a while due to this movement, looks like a mountain of meat.
Xu Bai frowned, and kicked the fat man's body, leaving a footprint.
When he kicked the fat man, Xu Bai felt a huge counter-shock force, and took a step back slightly.
"It's really not easy."
Xu Bai touched his chin and thought to himself.
Be able to make him take a step back, this fat man's defense is a bit high.
Because of his kick, the obese man finally woke up, opened his dazed eyes, and rubbed them with his hands. When he saw Xu Bai, he sat up with a puzzled face.
Very flexible, even if he is fat like a ball, this movement is still extremely fast. With this spherical figure, it gives people the feeling of a flexible and fat person.
"Huh? Deep in this mountain, why is there someone there?" The fat man didn't bow his head, but just subconsciously rubbed the stomach that Xu Bai kicked just now, and he rubbed off the shoe prints on it.
Xu Baidao: "I came to the mountains alone and lost my way. I don't know this brother, what's his name?"
"My name is Trevally." Trevally said something, as if he suddenly remembered something, his squinting eyes widened suddenly, and he said in disbelief: "No, you came up from below, how could you come up, there But there are old Taoist priests who eat people."
Cannibal old Taoist?
Xu Bai already understood that this person is familiar with the things in the mountains.
Being able to name the old Taoist priest who cannibalizes proves that he knows that Taoist temple.
But he didn't say anything else, but made up a reason.
"The master of that Taoist temple asked me to stay overnight, but I thought it was too early, so I didn't stay overnight, so I left." Xu Bai sighed and made a look of bad luck: "Who would have thought that the sky would get dark so quickly? , I’m lost, Brother Squid, can you help me, I really can’t walk.”
Carp stretched out a palm the size of a cattail fan, rubbed it on the fat face, and muttered: "It's weird, the old Taoist eats human flesh every day, how could he let go of such a delicacy?"
But the muttering didn't last long, just a few words, and the trevally returned to normal soon.
"Which line of work are you in?"
"I'm a martial artist." Xu Bai knew that the other party knew that he was a professional, so he didn't take offense. After all, the old Taoist priests knew it too, so he just reported one.
"Oh." The trevally got up quickly: "It's getting late, I don't dare to walk around at night, why don't you go to the place where I live, don't worry, I don't eat people, you go and stay with me One night is enough, and the mountain road is much easier to walk during the day.”
Xu Baizheng was worried that he didn't know how to open the situation. After hearing this, he nodded and agreed.
Trevally didn't say anything more, shook his fat palm, and walked like a rolling ball, leading the way ahead.
Xu Bai followed behind, moved his nose, and took a few breaths of air.
He found that there was a disgusting fishy smell on the trevally, as if a boatload of fish had been shot at sea, and these fish had been dead for a long time, giving off the smell.
But he didn't show it, and followed silently.
With this fat scad leading the way, after a while, they came to a dilapidated house.
Trevally raised his fat palm and pushed open the door in front of him.
A gust of wind blew by, carrying a disgusting fishy smell, blowing towards my face.
Xu Bai looked around and found that there were many large pits dug in the yard behind the door. There was water in the pits, and there were some nimble fishes in the water.
"I went out to look for fodder to feed the fish tonight, but I didn't expect that I fell asleep on the way. Fortunately, I fell asleep, otherwise your journey today will be difficult."
Squid was leading the way while talking.
"However, you are very lucky. The old Taoist priest will not spare his daughter, imprisoned in the statue, and maintain the incense to attract ordinary people, and let you leave safely."
"Oh?" Xu Bai became interested: "Hiding in the statue?"
Of course he still remembers the girl who was hidden in the statue.
So now that this topic is mentioned, he subconsciously asks it.
Trevally stopped in his tracks, turned around, and regret appeared on his fat face: "His daughter is a poor person, sealed in a statue, and has an unusual attraction to ordinary people."
"After the old Taoist led the person over, he fed the person until he was white and fat. Before slaughtering, he threw the person into a statue, did something with her daughter, and then killed it to make bacon."
Do something, what exactly it is, it must be indescribable.
"Why do you want to do something?" Xu Bai said.
鲹 showed a look of regret on his face: "Do you think there is no price to pay for dead people entering statues? If you don't do this, then the old Taoist priest will die soon."
"Oh, it's a pity. When her daughter was alive, she was really handsome. I went to propose marriage, but after the proposal, her daughter died."
In the speech, there is no other emotion except regret, and it is only regret that the marriage proposal was not successful.
Trevally didn't continue talking, took Xu Bai into a room, pushed the door open, and then added: "You will stay here for one night today, and I will take you away tomorrow morning, by the way, please don't I ran away secretly, there are many strange things in this mountain."
After saying this sentence, Scorpion didn't seem to want to have too much communication with Xu Bai, so he turned around and left directly.
Seeing this situation, Xu Bai didn't say much. After closing the door, he lit the oil lamp on the table.
Compared with that Taoist temple, the layout here is much worse.
A bed, a table, a chair, nothing more.
Xu Bai calculated the information in his mind, the most important thing is the information about this obese man.
But after thinking about it for a while, there was no clue.
After thinking for a while, Xu Bai raised his index finger and swiped lightly in the air.
A golden compass emerged, hovering continuously in midair.
Feng Shui counts!
This time, he wants to test the good and bad.
Following the surge of true energy, the pointer on the compass began to spin crazily. In an instant, Xu Bai felt a sense of uneasiness hovering in his heart.
fierce!
Big fierce!
Not only that, but the crazily turning pointer shows that Feng Shui arithmetic cannot be calculated.
"I knew that here, there is no free lunch." Xu Bai waved his hand, scattered the golden compass, took out the magic trick from his arms, and continued to move the progress bar.
He didn't panic at all, since he was already in the urn, he acted accordingly, as the so-called soldiers came to block the water and cover them with soil, that's what happened.
The night is getting deeper and deeper, and Xu Bai is also more and more obsessed with watching the progress bar.
The golden progress bar is growing slowly.
Xu Bai didn't know how much time had passed, but when he moved the progress bar in front of him to one-tenth of the progress, he suddenly raised his head, and put the divine mind into his arms.
Something is wrong, nothing is right!
Although he came to this place, his sense of time has become weak, but he can use the progress bar as a reference.
It's been so long, why hasn't daylight come yet?
Through the window, you can see the mottled light and shadow, which is the trace left by the moonlight, and it is still late at night.
Xu Bai frowned, came to the window, opened it a crack, and saw the backyard through the window.
Outside the window, in the big pit in the backyard, the water surface was shimmering, and under the moonlight, there were fish shadows swinging in it.
Through the gap, the mouth can clearly see that there is a spherical figure in the backyard, which is constantly walking.
At the intersection of each puddle, there are criss-crossing paths.
Trevally was walking on these trails without holding anything in his hands.
Seeing this scene, Xu Bai was puzzled: "It's really evil to stay up in the middle of the night and walk around in the yard."
He does feel weird, especially now.
Under the moonlight, there was an inexplicable emotion in the trevally's eyes, and cold sweat oozes from his forehead.
Xu Bai looked at the moon in the sky. When he entered the house, the moon was still in that position, and it is in that position now, as if it hadn’t changed.
That is to say, he entered this mountain, and until the night came, time here seemed to stand still.
There is no day, it is always night.
"The ruins should be a reappearance of a certain period of time. From this point of view, it will be fixed at that time." Xu Bai deliberated.
It's really weird here, from the man-eating old Taoist at the beginning, to the fat man in the shape of a ball in front of him, there is an incomprehensible weirdness.
Especially now, the night still exists, and the day has not come, and it is in the mist, adding a new layer of shackles.
Trevally walked a few steps, finally came to the farthest puddle, and squatted down slowly.
With his body size, it is very difficult to do squats, and the fat all over his body is shaking.
Especially the belly with the most fat, those folds hang down, covering the entire leg, like a ball without legs.
His legs were covered by fat folds. If he hadn't suddenly lost two points in size, he really didn't know whether he was standing or squatting.
Trevally looked at the puddle in front of him, especially the live fish in it, and suddenly stretched out his hand and grabbed one of them.
Then, like a savage, he put the fish into his mouth.
The mouth is very big. After the fish is stuffed in, the fish jumps in it, and the cheeks are one by one.
The trevally didn’t seem to have this incident, the teeth opened and closed up and down, and the creepy creaking sound was especially obvious in the dark night, making people’s hairs stand on end.
Blood slowly flowed from the corner of his mouth, dripped into the water along his chin, and spread on the water surface.
He didn't even spit out the internal organs and fishbone of the fish, a big lump bulged in his throat as he rolled it, and he swallowed it in one gulp.
"Eat it raw?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.
Another weird guy, everyone here seems to be crazy.
In the yard, after eating a live fish, the trevally rubbed its belly, showing a satisfied expression.
His words echoed in the yard.
"Hey, eat one a day. If you eat too much, you won't be able to catch up with the speed of production. When the time comes, you will have no food to eat, and you will have to find someone to fight with."
"It is said that there are fewer and fewer cemeteries in this mountain, and I can hardly eat enough. How can I afford to raise this spirit fish by then."
"Forget it, forget about it, let's feed today's food first!"
Although the voice was very low, it was clearly heard by Xu Bai.
Xu Bai fell into deep thought.
Spirit fish?
It seems that the fish in it is not ordinary. This fat man cherishes it so much that he only eats one fish every day.
And if he heard correctly just now, the fat man said that he was about to run out of food, and that there were fewer and fewer cemeteries on this mountain.
Could it be that this fat man goes out every day just to find a cemetery and find food there?
It is self-evident what to eat.
Spirit fish may be good for the fat man, but he has to eat things from the cemetery.
Most importantly, he said that if there is no food to eat, there is no way to feed these spirit fish.
What do you do for a living?
Xu Bai didn't think too much, and continued to read, because the trevally just said that he would be feeding today, and he was very curious about what the feed was.
After he finished speaking these words, he stood up with some difficulty, and the fat on his body trembled again.
The folds formed by the accumulation of fat, layer upon layer.
After standing up, Scorpion reached out to dig in the collar, and took out a dagger from it with difficulty.
Looking carefully, this is not a dagger made of any metal, but a curved rib. The edge of the rib has been polished very sharply, and under the moonlight, it reflects waves of paleness.
"Huh... I'm so afraid of pain, but the spirit fish wants to eat." Trevally sighed, and then, he grabbed his side of the fat and lifted his ribs.
Chick...
The sound of splitting came out, and blood spattered.
