Long, long ago, Lu Zhiqiu began to eat people, and he only likes to pick delicious villains, take out the heart from the fresh body and taste it first, then peel off the whole skin, slowly eat the limbs and then eat them. To the body parts, eat from the still warm state to the cold body. Obviously, for him to eat a complete adult human being, he can swallow it up in an instant. But he likes to taste a little bit carefully, enjoying the moment when the warm blood is flowing in his throat and the muscle fibers are chewing in his mouth.
It may be that he was too ostentatious and never low-key at that time, so he became famous. There are many rumors about him. When people mention him, they are frightened and frightened. They even use him as the subject of horror stories to teach children not to go out and run around. , various versions of his legends were rumored everywhere, and the meanings gradually began to deviate.
I don't know when, the rumors became that he was an evil monster who likes to eat children. In order to pray for peace, every year, villagers in several villages would choose a pair of boys and girls from their respective villages to sacrifice to In the specially built high-rise wooden house, it is hoped that children will be sacrificed to protect the village.
And these villages were all safe and sound after the sacrifice, and even became richer. The villagers believed that this was the return from the monsters to their villages after the sacrifice. Therefore, more and more villages participated in the sacrifice every year. They all hope that by sacrificing a pair of children, the village can be safe and even prosperous.
Originally Lu Zhiqiu didn't know about this matter, he didn't always stay in the same place and eat people, he likes to find some local villains to taste while wandering around, this is in line with his casual monster nature. Until one day, when he was leaning on a branch of a tree and slowly eating an arm, he heard a person who happened to be taking a nap in the forest on the way under the tree mentioning the grand sacrificial activity that was about to be held. .
It had nothing to do with him at all, but held sacrificial activities under his banner. When he was curious to find the location of the sacrificial activities in the village, he saw the villagers who had returned from the mountain and ended the sacrificial activities. Young and middle-aged people in every village carry wooden sedan chairs decorated with various flowers and cloths. It seems that these sedan chairs were originally used to carry boys and girls up the mountain. After the noisy crowd dispersed, the mountain returned to silence again, and the high platform wooden house for offering sacrifices was built on the top of the deserted mountain.
Lu Zhiqiu was very curious, why did these human children whom he had never eaten before disappear? He didn't know about the "gift" that had been sacrificed to him for several years, so why didn't these children go home? Or was he eaten by other monsters in his name
Until approaching the wooden house, there was no smell of other monsters, only the smell of humans. Lu Zhiqiu decided to go directly into the wooden house, tore off the knot that closed the wooden doorknob and opened the door, only to find that there was no child inside.
Looking around the interior of the house, Lu Zhiqiu found a hole behind the wooden statue placed against the wall in the middle of the room. Human beings are sometimes very cunning, and even played such a trick, impatiently blowing up the wooden statue to pieces in an instant, exposing the artificially dug cave behind, stepping on the wood debris on the ground, Lu Zhiqiu commented disdainfully: "This broken Sculpture is nothing like me."
Extending from the entrance of the wooden house to the back of the mountain, there is a secret passage dug by human beings. If you go out of the mountain along the cave, you will see a wide road in front of you. There was no one on the road, but from the wheels and horseshoe marks left in the dirt on the ground, it can be guessed that there were many carriages parked here, and those carriages took away all the children who were sacrificed in the village.
It would be difficult for ordinary people to track down the child's next whereabouts. However, for Lu Zhiqiu who is not human, following the faint traces and smells on the ground is like a silk thread that humans cannot see but monsters can see. can be found.
All the way to the outskirts of the building which is extremely secluded and hidden, Lu Zhiqiu quickly changed into the appearance of a servant who had just come out of the side door and mixed in again, stepping on the extremely clean wooden corridor, following the sounds and smells The incoming direction gradually approached the destination, and the closed thick copper door was quickly pushed open...
In fact, without pushing the door, Lu Zhiqiu could already smell the strong smell of blood. All the sacrificed children were breathless. They were like slaughtered animals. It could even be said that the animals were better than them. And these human children were tortured to the last moment of their lives by their kind who were much bigger than them in terms of age and size, with various instruments of torture that Lu Zhiqiu could not name. The whole scene was like the scene of hell that humans often mention reproduce.
Lu Zhiqiu was not interested in knowing why these humans tortured and killed innocent children, and what was the purpose of killing them. All he knew was that these people used rumors of monsters eating people to cooperate with the leaders of various villages, causing panic and holding sacrificial activities. The villagers donated virgins and virgins.
Lu Zhiqiu has seen a lot of cannibalism between human beings, and what he sees now is only a drop in the bucket, but he is not at all happy to do this kind of thing in his name, and it is impossible to let the people present, What's more, these are all authentic villains. After seeing his appearance, the heart beats rapidly and nervously. From a distance, one can already imagine how good the smell will be.
Therefore, Lu Zhiqiu ate all the villains in the house, and the food was quite clean, and the taste was indeed as mellow and delicious as he imagined.
It's just that Lu Zhiqiu didn't know that the host who organized this event didn't show up that day, because of an unexpected delay, he didn't go, and instead left his life behind. When the owner of the house learned that all his friends were eaten by real monsters, he was so scared that he didn't dare to close his eyes all night. He immediately called his servants to write a public announcement that night. Everyone is fine, come and protect him.
Driven by the temptation of money, no matter it is a deceitful fake Taoist priest or a real powerful exorcist, they are all invited to the owner's house to discuss countermeasures together in order to catch Lu Zhiqiu. As a result, Lu Zhiqiu was suddenly surrounded and killed by men and horses who appeared from all walks of life, no matter what kind of magic weapon was used, and what kind of incense was forced to smoke. After he violently killed his captors one by one , finally met a person with super spiritual power, trapped him in the same place and couldn't break free, and finally even lifted out a powerful magic weapon—that is, the dark brown boulder, which was engraved with curses used to restrain him Wen, seal him in place.
That person confiscated the owner's money, simply because too many exorcist Taoist priests died recently, so he could only take action to resolve the matter as soon as possible. He did not follow the owner's instructions to kill Lu Zhiqiu, but left Lu Zhiqiu where he was. Sealed.
As time passed year by year, the body of the person who sealed Lu Zhiqiu was also weakening, and the aura blood of that person's family gradually decreased and dispersed, so Lu Zhiqiu began to wake up.
*****
After driving away all the filth from Xia Lian's fingertips, Lu Zhiqiu turned his hand and grabbed Xia Lian's feet again, tore off the adhesive tape on it, and saw that the gray-blue palm print had turned dark black, and the skin around the palm print began to swell. A light cyan color appeared.
Caught off guard, the whole person was dragged sideways, his face hit the bed heavily, his feet were still hanging in the air, and then he felt his skin being licked by the familiar hot and humid touch. I thought the fingertips were already very irritating, but I didn't expect the calf to be more sensitive , covering the sobs that almost came out, Xia Lian's calf trembling uncontrollably when he was lifted in mid-air, this... too...
"You, don't you think our posture is... strange?" Xia Lian hesitated to speak.
"How strange?"
"It's just..." I couldn't describe it in words, pointing at myself and pointing at Lu Zhiqiu, Xia Lian finally chose to give up, "Isn't there a better way to deal with the filth you mentioned?"
"There are other ways, but right now it's the gentlest. If you're not afraid of pain, I can also choose to forcibly summon them from your body. However, blood should flow profusely, and the pain is similar to being roasted alive." .” After all, to let Wu Hui come out of the epiphyte, there is a big difference between taking the initiative and forcing it out.
"Uh, then you should continue." Just thinking about it felt bloody and painful, Xia Lian immediately raised his hand to signal Lu Zhiqiu to continue operating in a gentle manner.
When he saw that his legs had returned to normal, and there were no more gray-blue palm marks and tingling sensations, and his head was no longer groggy, it was very uncomfortable. Xia Lian let out a long sigh of relief: "Is this solved?"
"No, I just finished solving the simplest part." Lu Zhiqiu pointed around the bedroom wall, these are the most important things to be solved, "You haven't seen how to remove the filth, have you? It's interesting, but it's a bit noisy ~"
"Interesting? Noisy?"
Before Xia Lian could react, he saw Lu Zhiqiu raised his hand in a gesture of choking something, forcefully dragging the human-shaped mold stain attached to the wall into the air. That gray-black mass was like thick dust being dusted in the air, or like the thick black exhaust from a car. The human figure suddenly let out a violent howl, like the extremely sharp roars of different men and women, old people and children mixed together. Xia Lian's eardrums were almost shattered. If he hadn't reacted in time and immediately covered his ears, he would have almost become deaf on the spot.
When Xia Lian recovered from the screams, his ears seemed to be not his own, and the tinnitus was still faintly ringing. And the human-shaped mildew that was caught in the air has become more and more transparent at this time, until it disappears completely, and the sound also disappears.
Lu Zhiqiu dragged out the remaining clumps of humanoid mildew one after another, and eliminated them one after another. The screams and wailing never stopped, until finally, the kraft paper that Xia Lian had painstakingly pasted on the bedroom wall for a long time fell all over the floor. The human-shaped mold spots on the wall behind the paper have all disappeared. The walls are clean, except for the pink residual wallpaper that has not been completely torn off, which is a bit of an eyesore.
After digging his ears, Xia Lian was extremely suspicious that only he and Lu Zhiqiu could hear the terrible wailing, otherwise with this decibel, the neighbors would have come to smash their doors and curse at the street in the middle of the night. It can be seen that no one else can hear this terrible sound. The whole process is extremely damaging to the ears, and it is not as "interesting" as Lu Zhiqiu said.
"Okay, all the filth in your house is gone," clapped his hands, and brushed off the non-existent mildew and dust, Lu Zhiqiu turned and looked straight into Xia Lian's eyes, "How do you plan to thank me?"
"Uh, do you want to thank me?"
"Otherwise, do you think I will help you for nothing?"
Xia Lian immediately straightened up and began to think about his words, grabbed Lu Zhiqiu's hands and shook them up and down, expressing his gratitude with the attitude of sending out a good card very seriously: "Then...you are such a good demon, thank you. "
"You want to dismiss me with just one word?" Lu Zhiqiu bared his fangs that couldn't be hidden.
Shaking shiveringly, Xia Lian said: "Could it be possible that you still want money? But I have just started working, and my salary is not high, so I don't have much money for rent, utilities, transportation and food."
"Who cares about the money of a human being like you!!" Lu Zhiqiu was really convinced by this human being's reaction, and was almost driven crazy.
"Actually, in our current era, there is a rule that after the founding of the country, one cannot become a master. So it's quite embarrassing for you to be in a situation like this." Swallowing, Xia Lian bravely continued to propose, "Anyway, you I have been asleep for so long, why not consider sleeping for a while? Wouldn’t it be better to wake up when the demons and ghosts can appear freely?”
"..." Lv Zhiqiu, who was so angry at Xia Lian's 'kind proposal' that he paused for a moment and had nothing to say, hovered on the verge of rage, and then swept away his anger in an instant, and said to Xia Lian with an unusually friendly smile: "You know? I suddenly feel that I should observe and study the current world carefully, and adapt after learning, and live with you. I think this idea is good."
"Eh??" Xia Lian immediately frowned, very confused and didn't know what reason to decline this request.
"By the way, you may not know that if someone has been contaminated with taint, even if he is cleaned up, he will be targeted. The taint is like a community. When it is attached to a person, all taint will be destroyed. I can feel it. Therefore, even if part of the filth is removed, as long as there are taints in this world, they will be attracted by you, and they will slowly come to you, looking for a chance to attach to you." Lu Zhiqiu seemed very patient at this time, and at the same time Xia Lian talked about how deep Wu Hui's obsession can be.
"You mean, there will be such human-shaped mildew spots coming to me in the future?" Xia Lian quickly grasped the point of Lu Zhiqiu's words, and asked in horror.
"Yeah, not only there are, there will be many more. Even if you choose to move, it's useless. Although the original filth started from this house, it's useless no matter where you move now. They will always follow you until You belong to them."
"..." After a moment of silence, Xia Lian grabbed Lu Zhiqiu's sleeves as he was about to get up, "Where are you going?"
"Looking at your reaction, I don't seem to welcome me to live with you," Lu Zhiqiu lowered his eyes and thought seriously, as if he was really thinking about it, "So I was wondering if I should listen to your suggestion and find a place to sleep Hundreds of years."
"No! No, no, I'm very welcome!"
"Yeah?"
"Really! I've always hoped to have a roommate. It seems that the room is very lively. What's more, you just saved me once, and you just left. How guilty and uncomfortable I feel? Stay here, and I will tell you in detail now What is the state of this world, how familiar you want to be, I can tell you what I know, as my thank you to you." Xia Lian, who suddenly lost his sense of security, tried his best to keep Lu Zhiqiu.
"Since you are so sincere to keep me," Lu Zhiqiu took the time to pretend to be in thought, until Xia Lian's face turned pale and showed a flustered expression that he didn't know what reason to continue to persuade him, and then slowly replied: "Okay, I Just stay."
"That would be great!"
Yeah, that's great...
Staring at Xia Lian who secretly let out a sigh of relief with joy in his heart but tried hard to hide his expression, Lu Zhiqiu thought the same in his heart.
*****
"Old man~ I'm back~" After selling all the waste and sundries that were brought out and picked up along the way, the grandma opened the door with a beaming face and shouted loudly.
"Hey, old lady, what's the matter? You seem to be very happy today?" Granny's husband asked as he untied his apron while holding the last cooked dish in the middle of the table.
"That's right! I made a lot of money today. I met a young man today and I happened to be in trouble, so I sold the incense to him and made hundreds of dollars~" Grandma sat on the armchair happily, I took out the things from the sackcloth bag one by one, and there were four or five boxes of incense in it. Looking at these incenses, Grandma opened the lid of one box of incense, and when she saw the things inside, her expression changed suddenly.
"Old man, when you helped me sort out the incense last time, did you put all these different incenses into the same box?"
"Ah? Do I have it?" Hearing this, the old man hurriedly turned his head to look at the opened incense box in Grandma's hand, but couldn't recall the incident at all.
"The box of this color is used for exorcising evil spirits. How can there be marriage incense in it?" Opening all the remaining boxes, Grandma found that some boxes contained marriage incense, and some boxes contained marriage incense. Exorcism incense, I don't know which kind she gave to the young man.
"Is there a difference?" The old man put on his presbyopic glasses, took over the two boxes of incense and compared them carefully.
"Of course there is. The exorcising incense is brown, used to drive away evil spirits; the marriage incense is vermilion, to pray for meeting fate and finding a partner."
"Then, then, did you make a mistake when selling incense today?"
"Should... nothing wrong, right?" Grandma wasn't too sure, because she didn't open the box of incense that was sold to confirm.
"Hey, old lady, let's eat first. Your words will definitely sell. You are much smarter than me in business. I am just an old fool." Patting grandma on the shoulder lightly, the old man said in relief.
"Well, I hope that young man is okay. He's actually pretty good." Grandma tried her best to remember, but she still couldn't remember whether she made a mistake or not. She didn't want to worry about it anymore. She decided to put the matter behind her, but, In her heart, she secretly hoped that the young man would be safe and sound.
