Chapter 485: Devouring

Seeing that the fruit was about to be stuffed into the stomach by the big monkey, I was ready to escape.

However, it is very different from the dream. He swallowed the fruit. Nothing happened.

The big monkey stood up contentedly. He looked at a few of us proudly: "You guys are really alarmist." ”

The three of us looked at each other, not knowing what was going on.

Suddenly, the expression on the big monkey's face became very distorted.

He took two steps on the ground, then collapsed, his paws scratching at his chest. After a while, he actually grabbed his chest and bleed.

His appearance was so terrifying that not only did we dare not approach him, but all the monkeys fled far away.

The big monkey scratched at his chest for a moment, and suddenly tore at his own flesh with all his might.

It stands to reason that no matter how sharp a monkey's claws are, it is not easy to scratch through its chest. But the big monkey's paws were now like sharp daggers, and they were actually stuck into his chest.

A few seconds later, he pulled out a bloody heart. The heart was still beating on its own. Every jump. Blood spurted out.

As if he didn't know the pain, the big monkey threw his heart on the ground at random, and then said in disappointment, "It's not this one." ”

He reached out and grabbed himself again for a moment. Then take out another heart. The heart was much smaller, and there was no blood spurting out.

I looked, and it was the fruit he had just swallowed.

The big monkey had a strange expression on his face, and he smiled, "I finally found it." ”

Then, with a crooked hand, the fruit rolled to the ground.

I saw a shadow escaping from the corpse of the big monkey. Presumably this is his soul.

However, the fruit suddenly burst out with a strange fragrance, and his shadow was instantly sucked into the fruit.

I don't know if it's my delusion, but when the soul of the big monkey was devoured by the fruit, the fruit seemed to jump a little, like a heartbeat.

Subsequently. The strange fragrance spread, and these monkeys who eat dragon beard grass all year round have no resistance in an instant. They came to the earth one after another, and their souls were swallowed up by the fruit.

Xue Qian said with a pale face: "It turns out that our dream is true. It is not the body that is swallowed by this fruit, but the soul. ”

After he said this, I felt my soul start to run out of my body uncontrollably. It looks like it's going to be swallowed up.

At this time, a hand came out of the coffin. In this hand was the dragon's beard grass that had lost its fruit.

The owner of this hand is a drunkard.

With a sad look on his face, the drunk stepped out of the coffin. Gently touched the fruit with the dragon's beard grass.

The beard of the dragon's beard grass instantly fluttered with teeth and claws, and then turned into the appearance of a dragon in front of us. The dragon opened its mouth and took the fruit in its mouth.

When the dragon took the fruit in its mouth, the strange fragrance disappeared instantly.

The drunken man pinched the dragon's beard grass, looked at us and said, "I remember, this is my home. ”

I stared at him and asked, "What else do you remember?" ”

The drunkard pointed to the dragon's beard grass and said, "I still remember that someone took me out of it. Send me to the world, and say that I want to feel the beauty of red dust. ”

I asked, "Is this person an ancestor?" ”

The drunk shook his head and said, "I don't know. I don't know him. ”

He sighed and said, "There are joys and sorrows in the red dust. These days, I have tasted all kinds of identities, old and young, men and women, rich and poor, good and evil. The world is so wonderful, much more interesting than here. It's just a pity that I don't belong there, I belong here. ”

He pointed to the fruit: "I am a part of it." Without me, it would be a soul-devouring, insatiable demon. ”

I swallowed and foamed, and asked, "Are you going back?" ”

The drunken nodded and said, "yes, I'm going back." ”

Mr. Lu pointed to the fruit and said, "Is the soul inside really a person from the underworld?" ”

The drunkard smiled and said, "I am the soul inside." The man took me out, recreated me, gave me sanity, and sent me through the red dust. He told me that when I think of this qiē, I will go back to this fruit. ”

Mr. Lu asked reluctantly, "So, are you from the underworld?" ”

The drunkard smiled and said, "Am I from the underworld?" I don't know, I wish I were a human being. ”

He slowly crossed his legs and sat down where the big monkey had sat just now. He said to me, "Brother Zhao, let's meet again." ”

I said with a little weakness, "Do you want to see you again?" ”

The drunkard smiled and said, "The one who created zào me said that we will meet again." ”

Then, he put the dragon's beard grass on his heart.

I saw a white light slowly pouring into the fruit. Immediately after, the blood-red fruit jumped up, exactly like a human heart. Then, the dragon's beard grass, which turned into a dragon, quickly withered. It curls and shrinks, and finally envelops the heart completely.

The cave fell silent, and the three of us stood on the ground, looking at the qiē in disbelief.

We picked up the dead wood that the monkeys had thrown on the ground and gathered it into a fire.

The three of us sat in the middle of a pile of monkey carcasses like homeless people on a fire, staring at the flames in a daze.

Mr. Lu said a nonsense: "It turns out that the Chao fungus is really created by the ancestors. ”

Xue Qian said to me: "It turns out that the fungus is the soul of the people in the underworld. Lao Zhao, congratulations, you have a big backer. ”

I looked at the heart that the drunkard was holding in his hand. Now the dragon's beard grass has turned into a hard shell. The heart was wrapped in airtight, but I could still hear the pounding heartbeat coming from inside.

I asked, "Are we going to take this heart away?" ”

Mr. Lu thought for a while and said, "Take it away, if you don't take it away, how can you pay the errand?" Then, as if he was a little tired, he lay down, closed his eyes and said, "From now on, Monkey Mountain is peaceful." ”

I sat on the ground and said, "Yes, Monkey Mountain is too peaceful, but I'm not too peaceful yet." ”

Xue Qian patted me on the shoulder and said, "Lao Zhao, what kind of celebrity is the ancestor you are talking about?" He seemed to have expected all of this. I always feel that where this heart is sent is not the key at all. The ancestor went to great lengths to do this, as if he was specifically introducing a good friend to you. ”

I smiled bitterly: "The old ancestor is really a good person. And the heart to help me introduce friends. If he really cares about me, let me come back as soon as possible, so that I can live a peaceful life. ”

Mr. Lu lay on the ground and said lightly: "Anyway, this is a good thing, after some planning by the ancestors. Drunkards are in love with the world, and they are in love with the people of the world. ”

I said, "In a few days, will the drunkard come out of his heart and become a real man of the underworld?" ”

Mr. Lu said: "It will definitely be so. It's just a matter of time. ”

The three of us were talking in a whisper. Suddenly, a figure appeared at the entrance of the cave.

Having just experienced life and death, my nerves are so sensitive now, I grabbed the big knife, jumped up from the ground, and shouted, "Who is it?" "The Empty House:.

I saw a little Taoist priest looking at us with a panicked face, and he said, "It's me, it's me." ”

I looked at him strangely, "Who are you?" ”

He said; "I'm a tail-tailed monkey."

I snorted and asked, "How did you become human?" ”

The tail-breaking monkey said: "They refused to let me participate in the ceremony, saying that my monkey's tail was broken, the heavens and the earth were broken, and participating in it would destroy the way of heaven." So I've been waiting outside. I suddenly fell just now, and I found that I was out of my body. And my soul has also become the same as the Taoist priest before. ”

Mr. Lu picked up the heart and said, "The heart has been sealed by the dragon's whisker grass, and the vision on Monkey Mountain is over, so the monkeys here are all back to normal." ”

I nodded, looking at the policeman sitting cross-legged on the ground in a daze. The drunkard is back in the heart, and there is one more corpse here
