There is a high mountain near Shimizu Village, and there is a mountain temple on the mountainside. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

The temple has apparently fallen into disrepair and dilapidation for many years. However, at this time, it is a red cloth to cover the flaws, red lanterns are hung high, and the temple is full of three animals to worship, and melons and fruits at four o'clock. The bronze tripod facing the temple gate is full of incense, a festive scene.

The pair of huge red incense candles in the bronze tripod were about to burn out, and the flames were still struggling in the breeze.

Although the temple door was closed, the temple was brightly lit, but it was quiet, and there was no human figure in sight. It was so quiet that only the sound of the wind could be heard, some chattering sounds, and it seemed that there were cockroaches and rats crawling.

In front of the ruined statue of the mountain god sat a three-zhang long table, on which were placed offerings—a young man who was bound, with a cloth stuffed in his mouth, and blindfolded with red satin.

The boy struggled, making a trembling sound.

His chest rose and fell sharply from the exertion, and gradually calmed down again. The red cloth that had soaked the blindfold with sweat.

Apparently he couldn't break free.

The ropes were tied strongly, and the struggle was in vain.

The closed temple door suddenly made a strange "swish", and a door was gently pushed open, crumbling.

A foul smell blew in the wind, and the boy reacted violently, struggling desperately, and the long table rattled.

Three black bugs more than half a foot long quickly and nimbly crawled in from the threshold, their tentacles constantly searching for something.

They climbed on top of the boy, who noticed something strange and hurriedly shook his body to shake them off, but to no avail.

One of the caterpillars, climbing up the collar of the teenager, came to the position of the artery in the neck, and suddenly revealed two black and shiny fangs, which were about to bite down......

The boy seemed to sense the danger and struggled even harder. Suddenly, the worm shrank into a ball again, rolled off the long table, and fell to the ground, and the other two followed suit.

The other door of the temple gate had opened at some point, and a huge insect with a hideous face poked its head into the temple, and its mouth was still foaming like black water. The stench is even stronger.

The giant worm's bulging fat body squirmed and moved into the temple.

The candle flame in the temple shook for a while, and the huge insect like a cow actually stood up slowly! Slowly turned into an old man with a full beard and crutches.

"The cubs want to rebel?"

The old man showed terrifying eyes, sprayed stinky water, and stared at the three caterpillars, "The tribute of this mountain god also dares to try it?" ”

The three caterpillars shuddered to the wall.

The boy didn't move, thinking about what to do.

The old man looked up at the moon from the tattered roof on the beams, "The hour is almost up, it's time to eat." It's okay for you to take a look."

The old man used his cane to pull off the red cloth that the young man was blindfolded on, and smiled sadly: "It's a handsome boy, and it's so tender." ”

The young man who was lifted off the red cloth showed a handsome face, and his eyes were suddenly stimulated by the bright light, and he had to squint into a slit, but he still relied on his tenacious will to see the appearance of the old man in the gap between his eyes, but he couldn't say anything in his mouth.

The old man's big black eyes looked at the young man, and dark green saliva suddenly flowed from his mouth, "Satisfied, right?" It doesn't hurt for you to see, hehe."

The old man slowly paced the square steps, and muttered in his mouth: "I have cultivated for hundreds of years and turned into a human form. Now in charge of a demon realm. It's not an exaggeration to let you pay tribute to boys and girls only once a year, right? ”

He leaned over and put his nose close to the boy's face: "Xiang".

The saliva mucosa fell into the young man's neck, and the young man couldn't help frowning slightly, feeling a wave of nausea in his heart.

The boy gradually adapted to the light, his eyes widened, and he clearly saw the old man with a hideous face and a beard, his facial features were displaced, and he was very ugly.

Could this be the god of the mountains? He thought to himself.

The old man also seemed to feel something, and he smiled: "Boy, don't laugh at it, if you eat a few more boys and girls, and cultivate for a few more years, I will be completely like you." And you ......"

The old man continued to laugh: "Tomorrow will be a piece of in the field." ”

The moonlight shone through the cracked hole in the roof.

"The hour has come. Delicious......"

The old man gently touched the young man's chest with his cane, and the clothes worn by the young man suddenly cracked, revealing a healthy body.

The boy was a little anxious and twisted his body.

"Don't be afraid, I'll drink your blood first, and there will be no pain"

The old man raised his crutches and gently pressed the young man's muscles, "The offerings in the past few years are the best this time." ”

"I'm a little reluctant to eat it......," the old man laughed.

The crutch touched the necklace hanging around the boy's neck, the so-called necklace, which was a small stone tied to a straw rope.

"Yo, it's really a poor family, but a poor family produces good meat ......" was another burst of arrogant laughter.

The boy felt a pain in his neck, and the sharp cane had cut through his veins. Blood flowed from his neck. At this moment, he no longer moved, and his blood flowed faster.

"Just by smelling it, you know it's the best."

The old man stuck his cane in front of the table, folded his hands, and muttered words in his mouth. After a moment, the old man showed two big black teeth, "Boy, I'm a hundred-legged king, cough cough...... The god of this mountain is going to send you to the west."

Blood flowed down the straw rope to the boy's chest, soaking through the small stones.

The three caterpillars that had been shrinking in the corner of the wall had already stood up, black foam was also flowing from their mouths, and their black eyes widened with envy.

The hundred-legged king opened his black mouth wide, leaned over and bit down on the young man's neck......

The young man stared nervously at the hundred-legged king, his arms trying to struggle out of the rope and make a final resistance, but he was helplessly constrained by the rope and still couldn't move.

Seeing that the hundred-legged king was about to bite the young man's neck.

"Smack!" A bang.

The hundred-legged king suddenly stammered, shook his fat body and took a few steps back. It turned out that the young man suddenly slammed his forehead into the protruding nose bridge of the hundred-legged king, and the king's ugly face suddenly flew with saliva and green pulp. At the same time, the boy also felt dizzy.

"Ah, ah, dare to tease the deity!"

The Hundred-Footed King was a little angry.

The three caterpillars shrank their heads in fright, then slowly poked their heads out and continued to watch.

The hundred-legged king coughed twice, and spat out a mouthful of dark green phlegm to the ground.

The young man's eyes were tearful, but he still showed an angry gaze.

The hundred-footed king suddenly picked up his cane and knocked the young man on the head, and the young man fainted immediately.

The hundred-legged king laughed miserably: "It's not honest to tie up so strongly. I want this king to be hard. ”

After speaking, he rolled up his sleeves and wiped his mouth, revealing two more black teeth, and leaned down.

The three caterpillars continued to drool.

Suddenly, a dazzling light shot straight into the eyes of the Hundred-Footed King.

"Wow! Eye! ”

In an instant, the dark green liquid flew up, and the minced flesh was everywhere.

The hundred-legged king instantly felt a strange pain in his eyes, and he screamed miserably, protecting his eyes with both hands, and fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust, and turning into a giant worm.

The temple was bright and dazzling.

"King! Oops......"

The three caterpillars shrank their heads into their bodies as hard as they could, and their bodies seemed to be torn apart by some object, bursting with green blood, curled up into a ball of hairballs, and trembling constantly.

"Run!"

The hundred-legged king turned into a black wind, rolled up the three caterpillars, and stumbled out of the mountain temple. Two broken temple doors were also smashed to pieces.

A mountain breeze blew in, blowing the candlelight and shaking constantly.

Tranquility is restored inside the mountain temple.

Half an hour later.

On the long table, the stone tied to the straw rope on the young man's chest dimmed in the candlelight, and he began to move a little as he lay on it.

In the rat hole in the corner, two thieves poked out. One gray and one black, two mice.

Squirrel: "Brother, what's going on?" The hundred-legged king didn't enjoy the tribute this time?

Black Mouse: "Brother doesn't know, let's not get involved in this matter." ”

Squirrel: "Yes, yes. ”

It stared at the young man: "This little baby, he shouldn't die." ”

Black Mouse: "Yes, all these boys and girls who are worshiped every year are eaten to the bone." ”

The boy heard the sound of the mouse talking, and a spirit, woke up, and gently turned his head to look in the direction from which the voice came.

"Brother, he's awake!"

Squirrel was a little excited.

"Shhh

The black rat stopped it, "Don't be so loud. ”

"Afraid of what? He didn't understand. ”

Squirrel was a little unconvinced.

"Whispering" the black rat ran ahead and jumped on a fruit bowl, "Let's go find something to eat, hurry." ”

The boy felt the rope on his body loosen a little, and with a little force he broke away, he shook off the broken rope and turned over and sat up. If you look closely, it turns out that when the hundred-legged insect cut through his clothes, it also cut a lot of ropes, and after he struggled for so long, he could break free with a little more force.

The boy removed the cloth from his mouth, loosened all the ropes on his body, and touched the wound on his neck, which had begun to congage and no longer bleed.

He took the cloth and wiped the saliva of the disgusting big bug from his neck.

"Phew, I'm not afraid of you! But they tied my hands and feet. ”

The young man muttered, "Old monster, when I learn everything, I will be destroyed!" ”

"Run!" The two rats, who were eating a delicious fruit bowl, jumped down in fright and ran back to their holes.

The boy quickly said to the mouse, "Eat it, there are a lot of them anyway." ”

"Did he hear what we said?" The gray squirrel said to the black rat at the edge of the hole.

"Nonsense, how does he know what we're talking about." The black rat whispered, "He's been holding back for a long time, just looking for something to say." ”

"How can we suddenly understand human speech?" The gray squirrel muttered, the voice was too low, and the black rat had already poked its head out of the hole, but he didn't hear it. Seeing this, the gray squirrel simply jumped out of the hole lightly.

The boy slid off the long table, his legs suddenly weakened, and he sat on the ground with his butt, fortunately holding on to the edge of the table. After a pause, the teenager gradually returned to normal.

"It's dangerous." The two mice, who had just tentatively walked out of the hole, jumped back into the hole.

The boy brought a fruit bowl and roast chicken, and ate it in a big gulp, and remembered the two mice, so he said in the direction of the mouse hole, "You two come out and eat." I won't hurt you. "In addition, I brought a fruit bowl and roast duck and roast chicken, and put them near the entrance of the cave.

"Let's go." Squirrel said.

"You believe in people?" Black Rat asked.

"Brother, there are so many delicious foods, I want to eat them." Squirrel said.

The two rats discussed in front of the cave for a while, and then ran out with a squeak.

Teenager, two mice, Chinese New Year's Eve, feast.

"Gone." The well-fed boy stood up and said to the black and gray mice, "Eat slowly." ”

Two rats squeaked.

The boy felt a little puzzled about how he could talk to the mouse. He seemed to hear a lot of conversation between the two rats and found it interesting, but perhaps because he had been trapped in the temple alone for too long, and had experienced life and death, his consciousness was a little blurred. Now I listen carefully, but it is the constant squeaking of the two mice, I don't know why.

"Good luck, little baby!" Squirrel looked at the boy's back.

"Eat, brother! I want to see you again. Black Rat said.

The young man walked out of the mountain temple, and found that the four o'clock melons and fruits and three animals were still placed on the offering table, so he found a piece of red cloth, wrapped a big bag, and carried it vigorously, and slowly walked towards the village......
