The corpses were everywhere, and blood flowed into rivers.
The corpse of the demon and the remains of the man formed a dead ocean.
The only clean mound seemed out of place in this corpse realm. At first glance, one might even think that this mound was made of ashes.
The man sat on the mound.
Wei Dong has never entered a person's illusion so deeply, even Fang Fei's deep-sea illusion has never made himself so immersive and unable to extricate himself.
Wei Dong felt his feet step on the sea of corpses, and the strange smell of monster blood mixed with human corpses filled his nose. Moonlight shone from the direction of the mound, and he raised his face and looked at the soil. The man sitting on the pile.
As if feeling his own gaze, the man also looked back at himself.
A real person.
The appearance is ordinary and has no characteristics.
An unfamiliar face can not even tell the age in the night.
But Wei Dong always felt that this person's eyes were very familiar, as if he had seen it somewhere.
Wei Dong came closer, trying to see some clues from this person's clothing.
This person looked at Wei Dong twice, as if he had lost interest in the "intruder", turned his head, and didn't know if he was in a daze or thinking.
Wei Dong's gaze was focused on the waist pocket of this man.
This is a very worn cloth bag. It is so worn that the original color is no longer visible, but it looks very familiar, especially the black rope at the mouth of the pocket, with a rusty copper tied to the end of the rope. Bells, occasionally make a dull sound.
Wei Dong had seen the same pocket as this one when he and Fang Fei had just arrived in this world. At that time, Shituoling was already full of corpses, and the two of them had no way to go, they could only get from this pocket. Two white goose feathers were selected.
In addition, the two people also learned how to blindfold their eyes. They only need to pin the goose feathers to their ears and chant a spell. The two of them turned into two goose monsters on the spot, and they swaggered into the lion and camel country.
Wei Dong opened his mouth and wanted to ask this person: Are you the old woman who helped us?
But all the words uttered in his mouth melted into the air, and no sound came out.
The man sitting on the mound seemed to have heard it, and smiled, as if to say something to Wei Dong, but Wei Dong couldn't hear it.
The man raised his pocket and the brass bell made a rusty sound.
With this bell, Wei Dong finally returned from the illusion.
Fang Fei seems to be talking to the pig buddy, and he is ready to pick someone out and bargain with him.
The sound of the copper bell was still faintly ringing. Wei Dong stared at the demon in front of him for an instant. To be exact, it was a demon buddy from the slaughterhouse. He was of moderate stature and his head was a monkey head. He bared his teeth and shook his body again.
The pocket on the monkey demon's waist made the sound of a copper bell. The monkey demon made a complicated gesture to Wei Dong, and stopped looking at Wei Dong.
Suddenly there was the voice of the python man, and the voice of Zhu San soon came again: "Wait for the transaction, today's place Longye is covered!"
Wei Dong turned his head, only to find that the monkey demon had long disappeared.
Fang Fei reacted very quickly and tightened his back to the child behind him: "Long Lord, we can't afford to provoke him. We will withdraw first and come back another day."
The pig guy was very clever, thinking that it would be difficult to meet these merchants, so he first led them out through another door.
The two of them returned to the dirty streets again, turned silently along the alleys, and walked onto the avenue paved with blue bricks.
Both of them knew that they couldn't even save a hundred people in the slaughterhouse. If they didn't hide in time, the children behind Fang Fei might be left behind by the python male, and even arouse the other's suspicion.
"Go back to the inn first." Fang Fei said briefly, walking fast.
The ear-piercing "di-" sound rang, and the chime was louder than once, which was the eighth sound.
Time is really running out.
Back at the inn, he untied the cloth on the child's head. The child did not cry, his eyes were very dull.
Fang Fei applied the medicine he bought on the road to the child's wound. The process might be painful, but the child didn't say a word.
"I saw him." Wei Dong said only then.
"Is that the monkey?" Fang Fei didn't have time to observe the other party with the bird fairy feathers, but he could guess something from Wei Dong's expression.
"He should be the same person as the old woman who helped us back then," Wei Dong said of his guess. "It's the old woman we saw before entering the city."
Fang Fei lowered his head and applied the medicine, but there was no word for a while.
"You said, in the illusion, is it the past or the future?" Wei Dong asked.
"I do not know."
"In that environment, there seemed to be a battle between monsters and humans. The scene was very tragic."
Fang Fei listened to Wei Dong's description, it was hard to imagine the tragic scene, let alone infer whether it happened hundreds of years ago or will happen a few hours later.
"Wei Dong, why did you say these demons came to the Lion and Camel Country?" Fang Fei suddenly asked.
Wei Dong thought for a while: "Didn't the python man say that people can be eaten legally here. This country seems to belong to the three-regardless zone."
"What does "Journey to the West" say? Why can we allow those monsters to eat all the people in a country?" Fang Fei thought of this and felt terrible-cannibalism is scary, but even more terrifying is that cannibalism is actually Reasonable and legal.
"According to the book, these three monsters all have a backstage. They are not wild monsters without a name or a surname." Wei Dong sat on the chair by the window. "The green lion and white elephant are Manjusri and Samantabhadra. The mounts of the two Bodhisattvas, and the Dapeng bird is even more remarkable, speaking of it as the uncle of the Buddha."
"This seems to have been mentioned in the TV series. Phoenix gave birth to peacocks and rocs. The peacocks were born to eat people, and they dared to eat the Buddha into the belly. Later, the Buddha broke the peacock and came out. Self-proclaimed, so Dapeng became Buddha's uncle." Fang Fei still remembers this episode on TV.
"So Dapeng is lawless, saying that he is not used to eating fast, and he has to eat people every day. In the end, the Buddha said that he should feed him with his followers before he converted."
Fang Fei widened his eyes when he heard the words, "Feed it with people?"
"It probably means feeding the tiger with the body and giving up life for the sake of justice," Wei Dong said.
Fang Fei frowned, seeming to think of something: "I told you about the eight dragons before. Among them, it was mentioned that the roc bird loves to eat dragons, until the dragons are about to become extinct. Later, the dragon mother pleaded for help. To save the dragon son, the Buddha persuaded Dapeng not to eat dragons again, and promised him that the Buddhist disciples would give him nectar meals before using the fast food, so Dapeng birds converted to Buddhism and stopped eating dragons."
This is the first time that Wei Dong heard such a statement, and it almost subverted his previous understanding of "Journey to the West": "To be honest, I have never understood this before, so I can only fool myself by saying "giving up my life". Unexpectedly, there is such an interpretation in the Buddhist scriptures?"
Fang Fei: "I haven't read Buddhist scriptures. This is when I checked some information when reading martial arts novels, and it happened to mention these."
Wei Dong: "I think Wu Chengen, the author of "Journey to the West" must know this story. He probably wrote it in another way deliberately, perhaps to satirize the society at the time, or to enhance the story. Yes, or for other reasons that cannot be said."
Fang Fei felt that it would be difficult to understand the mystery within a short period of time based on the IQ and experience of two people.
Fang Fei said: "Anyway, the world we live in is nothing more than a matter between humans and demons."
The world in front of him reminds Wei Dong more of the painting "Animal World".
Whether in the painting or in reality, as long as the position at the top of the food chain is taken, the identities of human and demon are completely interchangeable.
What is a person? What is the demon?
What is human being?
The one who is eaten is always the weakest.
Wei Dong looked at Fang Fei's white goose head: "Do you know? Now if I were to watch goose slaughter, it would probably be no different from killing people."
That's what I'm talking about.
Wei Dong felt that he suddenly understood materialist dialectics.
"I don't think that monkey demon has the opportunity to say anything to you," Fang Fei changed the subject and never left room. "If he is really pure, it is impossible not to leave a hint."
"He said," Wei Dong carefully recalled the monkey demon's gestures at the time. At this moment, he stood up and imitated, raised his right hand high, raised it up, and patted to the left three times, and then patted twice in front under.
"Three minds and two minds? Three words and two beats?" Fang Fei felt that he was the least good at guessing such puzzles.
"..." Wei Dong turned around and looked around. It seemed that he suddenly understood something. He changed the direction and did the action again. "I remember, he was facing south at the time. , I think he is giving us directions."
"What's the position?"
"He was facing the south and raised his hand upwards to let us walk out of the slaughterhouse and shoot to the left, that is, to go east. I took three shots. I think it should be three streets to the east, and then shot to the front. Two times, just turn south and cross two more streets." Wei Dong said his analysis.
Fang Fei stared at Wei Dong in disbelief, suspecting that he had stolen a part of Mu Yiran's brain and brought it over.
Wei Dong scratched his head: "I just thought about this on the way, and I don't know if I guessed it right. I just figured it out. He stood facing south, the sun pierced his eyes, and he still He squinted his eyes vigorously, probably to remind me that he was facing the south."
"It's not too late, let's go over and take a look!" Fang Fei has always been resolute and vigorous.
Wei Dong took out the feather fan left by the bird fairy, took a piece of white feather from it, and walked to the child. At this time, the child was probably exhausted. Fang Fei put medicine on him. Slowly fell asleep.
Wei Dong pinned the feathers behind the child's ears, chanting the spell the old woman taught him at the time. Soon the child's head became like a crane, like a little crane demon who was asleep.
"The appearance of a person is too dangerous. Sooner or later, he will die in the lion and camel country. We can't keep him forever." Wei Dong said.
Fang Fei looked at Wei Dong and nodded.
The two took care of Xiaoer and asked him to help watch the child.
Wei Dong Fang Fei set off again to the place pointed by Chunren.
The two walked in a hurry, and soon reached this small street.
Although the small street is small, it is full of small shops on both sides. Two people look for one shop after another. When they find the end, a gust of wind blows up, blowing the two people's goose feathers. They are all lost. Closed eyes.
Wei Dong rubbed his eyes vigorously before he could barely see clearly, but suddenly realized that the bird fairy feathers stuck between his eyelashes were gone.
Fang Fei stared angrily into the goose eyes, it was obvious that her bird fairy feather was gone.
Wei Dong looked up at the shop in front of him. It turned out to be a painting shop. He opened the door and went in. All the people in it were monkey monsters.
Wei Dong couldn't tell for a moment whether the "pure person" who pointed him here was among them.
Without the bird fairy feathers, where can "pure human" and "pure demon" be distinguished?
Fang Fei followed up, and whispered a little irritably, "Where is your fan?"
Wei Dong cried and said, "It's gone, it seems to have been blown away by the demon wind."
There is no retreat, only if it comes, then settle it.
Wei Dong looked at this small painting shop, and the walls were covered with paintings. The monkey guys are busy, some are hanging paintings, and some are trying to dry the ink of these paintings.
Only then did the two realize that the paintings hanging around in this shop were actually the same painting! To be precise, the patterns on these hundreds of paintings are all exactly the same!
"Are you a woodblock print?" Fang Fei asked a monkey buddy.
The monkey man said in a courtesy: "Madam is right. The water and land paintings in our shop are the most charming. On New Years and festivals or inviting gods and immortals, the people of the lion and camel country will come to our shop to buy paintings! "
Wei Dong asked: "Why is there only this kind of pattern?"
The monkey guy replied: "This water and land painting is the most effective! This woodblock is made by a god and has supernatural power! We little monsters can't paint or make plates!"
Wei Dong further asked: "We are here to buy paintings. I am afraid that there are not enough hanging in this shop."
The monkey buddy also heard that someone bought so many paintings at once.
Wei Dong said: "I have to go to the workshop to see if your printing speed can catch up with our paintings tomorrow."
The monkey buddy didn't hold back, and at this time led the two goose monsters to the printing workshop behind the shop.
I saw that the monkeys have their own division of labor, some are responsible for coloring the woodblocks, some are responsible for printing, and some are responsible for taking the paintings to dry...
Wei Dong and Fang Fei approached this wood block and saw that the various fairy figures on it were carved vividly and vividly.
"Does your family only have this wooden board?" Fang Fei asked.
The monkey guy became a little impatient, and he didn’t know what the purpose of these two goose monsters was: "Since the monsters entered the lion and camel kingdom, there has only been this woodblock, and the paintings in every household are also this. It’s not that I boast, or that the same woodblock print is hung in the King Dapeng’s palace, but the printing material has gold powder, silver powder and gem powder added to it, so the color will not fade easily."
Wei Dong stared at the woodblock for a while, then looked at the printed paintings in a blink of an eye. Wei Dong had never studied water and land paintings before, and only then discovered that there are all kinds of gods and ghosts on this painting. In addition, there are people who are inconspicuous as grass.
Fang Fei also watched it for a while, but really couldn't understand it.
A familiar voice suddenly sounded around me: "Unexpectedly, pure people would still play hide and seek with me."
The two turned their heads in horror, and the person who came was actually a python man.
Fang Fei didn't wait for the python male to speak, he took the lead and said coldly: "In the lion and camel country, people are the food of the demon. The reason why Dapeng established this country is because it can eat people reasonably and legally. The Dragon Master and Dapeng Bird There is no difference in identity. They are all demons and cannibals. Why does Young Master Long leave here so hard?"
Indeed, through observations in the lion and camel country for several hours, the two found that two animals that were natural enemies when they were beasts are also friendly neighbors in this country, such as foxes and rabbits, such as roosters and centipedes, and Wei Dong. The Harrier and the House Sparrow I saw in Xicuilou.
"I'm afraid Young Master Long has other purposes?" Fang Fei asked further.
The python male smiled inwardly: "Madame Dongfang is really not easy. My dragon is omnipotent in the sky, and how can a small lion and camel country stop my way? I can leave the city at will, where can I ask him? The golden seal?"
"So, the pure heart is not to be dedicated to the Dapeng bird, but you want to eat it yourself?" Fang Fei said.
The python man vomited a purplish red snake core: "I thought you were two dumb-headed geese who had just entered the city. I didn’t expect to have some brains, nothing more. Today a group of monkeys eat too, and two geese eat too, swallowing you all in. In my stomach, my python can digest it!"
As soon as the male voice of the python appeared, it was a giant python that was as thick as the trunk of an old tree. At this moment, he opened his mouth and sucked into the abdomen the monkey buddy who had greeted the two.
The whole small shop had long been collapsed by the original shape of the python. The other monkey buddies were so scared that they wanted to run around, but they were surrounded by the huge body of the python, and no one could escape.
Wei Dong can no longer tell where the seven inches of this python is, because one of the other's scales is as big as his own palm, even if he can find seven inches, I am afraid he can't hold it.
"Monkeys get out!" Before Fang Fei's words fell, the python's huge mouth came towards Fang Fei, a cold voice accompanied by a fishy wind: "Madam Dongfang is too smart, I have to eat you first."
Fang Fei looks very small in front of the python's huge mouth. If eaten by it, it would be like a human eating a dumpling.
Suddenly a gust of wind hits, inciting the python to retreat.
Wei Dong couldn't believe that his hands had actually turned into a pair of giant wings, and his entire body also became larger, his long neck stretched out, and his hard mouth pecked at the top of the python.
Fang Fei is very anxious, knowing that this is probably the function of that half of the dragon ball, and regrets that he has not had time to eat the other half of the dragon ball. ——Perhaps I felt that the dragon ball was used by the python to fool two people, and there is no "demon power multiplier" effect.
Fang Fei touched the treasure box he carried with him, opened it, and saw that his half of the dragon ball had turned into nothingness.
Fang Fei watched the battle between the snake and the goose before him, and only hated that it was not himself who ate the dragon ball. In terms of combat effectiveness, he was much better than Wei Dong.
Fang Fei knew he couldn't help, and now he asked the monkeys urgently, "Who are you guys? Who can tell me where the woodblock fragments are?"
One of the monkey demon said: "I don't understand what you are talking about pure and impure. I only know that all people in this city are inhuman. I don't know what woodblock fragments are. There is only one woodblock in the Lion and Camel country. There is no second piece."
The scene was too chaotic, and large swaths of white goose feathers fell down, like a heavy snowfall.
Fang Fei was so anxious that he wanted to cry, but in his heart he warned him to calm down, carefully recalling what the monkey demon said, there is only one wooden board in the lion camel, there is no second.
That is to say, in fact, the woodblock fragments in the Lion and Camel country can only come from this woodblock!
Fang Fei clenched his fist and walked towards the wood block of water and land painting, and slammed it up, bleeding out from his fist, but the wood block was still a single piece of iron, with no cracks.
