In the darkness, there was a faint sound of sharp grinding of knives. My dormant consciousness was slowly revival.

"Boss, he's human." It was the machine-like stiff and slow sound of the rice dumplings.

"Less verbose, I know!" Then came the shrill and piercing voice of the proprietress , "I'm human too." ”

"Then why do you still eat his heart?"

"Can you ask a question of some level?!" The proprietress was obviously impatient, and she shouted, "You've been following me for years, why are you still so stupid?" ”

Then the proprietress sneered a few times and said, "That's right, you have no heart and no brains, you only have the IQ of an eleven-year-old child, why should I be angry with you?" ”

"Boss, I'm not stupid." Zongzi's tone was still calm and dull, "I know, in order to wait for the boss, you will eat a monster or monster heart every seven days to alleviate aging and prolong life." Actually, you don't want to eat the hearts of monsters and devils, let alone your own kind, that is, the hearts of people. After you eat your heart, you have to refine the heart you eat at the cost of great pain every day. But, boss, why are you doing this? The boss has been gone for three hundred years, and he won't come back, so why bother waiting for someone who will never come back? ”

"Enough, you heartless thing, shut up!" The proprietress screamed, "You know a fart!" ”

There was silence.

I don't know how long later, the sound of sharpening knives suddenly sounded in the air again.

"Hurry up and wake him up for me, give him devil's heart booster, I need to eat a heart with a heartbeat." At this time, the proprietress calmed down a lot, and followed the rhythm of the sharpening of the knife up and down.

"Yes, hostess, I'm going to wake him up." Zongzi's words were calm and dull.

At this moment, in the darkness, a sudden coldness rushed towards me.

I only felt as if I had been pierced by ice spikes with countless holes, and the violent nerve shock formed by the cold hit me like a flood beast, completely breaking my limit.

"Ahh

I couldn't help but scream, and at the same time, opened my eyes.

In front of me, there was a haze of mist, and my eyelids were still hanging with the cold water droplets, and in front of the water droplets, vaguely, was the zongzi wrapped with brown cloth, and behind the zongzi was the proprietress who was still sharpening her knife.

In this room, the light is faintly blue.

The water droplets on my eyelids finally dripped down because I couldn't bear the weight, and I could finally see the scene farther away.

At this glance, I was stunned for a moment, and then immediately panicked.

In front of the proprietress there are countless corpses! It was full of all kinds of demons and monsters, some with elephant trunks, some with monkey faces, and some with squirrel tails......

And they all have a common feature, that is, there is a big hole left in the left chest, through a hole, I can see a corpse behind.

"What do you want to do?!" I called out.

Zongzi glanced me up and down a few times, and his scattered eyes showed a trace of sympathy. He didn't say anything.

The proprietress was still sharpening her knife, she didn't look back, she just said coldly: "Boy, don't be afraid, it's just a matter of a moment, and after a moment, you have already gone to the Western Elysium and met the Buddha." ”

In fact, I already knew that this old woman wanted to eat my heart!

I struggled a few times, but found that my whole body was tied with ropes, and I couldn't move at all, I couldn't help but smile bitterly a few times in my heart, hehe, it seems that today is definitely going to die......

"Where's my Flood Spirit Beast? What did you do with it? I asked again.

"Ran away." Zongzi said these two words, as if throwing out two stones, without the slightest emotion.

"Humph!" At this time, the proprietress turned around, "If it hadn't run away, I wouldn't have had to use you today." ”

When I looked at the proprietress holding the knife, I was immediately stunned, because the person in front of me turned out to be an old woman with a slightly bent back, but her voice was still the voice of the proprietress .

The proprietress is actually not young, she looks like she is in her forties, but now, she has suddenly become in her eighties, and the wrinkles on her face are like old bark, dense, rough, and profound.

"How did you end up like this?" I couldn't help but ask curiously.

"Don't worry, you don't have to worry about what I'm going to become. As long as I eat your heart, I can change back to my original form. The proprietress walked slowly towards me, having turned into an old woman through and through.

I smiled bitterly, panicking in my heart, but I didn't forget to sarcastically say a few words to her, I said: "You have changed back to your original appearance, you are not so ugly, the whole person is like Sister Feng." ”

"Shut up! I think back then, I Chen Yueru, but the existence of the country and the city, the men of the whole world, who don't kneel to beg me! The hostess's shrill voice echoed through the dimly lit room.

Instead, she sneered desolate a few times and said, "Heh, but, he never cared about me......" At this time, she showed a look of resentment: "If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have come to this ghost realm to cultivate demons, and now I have made myself a ghost and a ghost, but this negative man still refuses to come to see me...... What did I do wrong, I was so good to you, why didn't you even look at me! ”

When I saw her desolate appearance, I was also a little moved, but now I am thinking more about my life, I haven't found the Heavenly Spirit Purple Stone yet, how can I hang up like this?

At this time, the proprietress Chen Yueru quickly restrained the sorrow in her heart, and turned to say coldly to Zongzi: "Hurry up and give him a devil's heart booster!" ”

"Okay, hostess." Zongzi's tone was still stiff and sluggish, as if even if the sky fell, he would not have any mood swings.

Zongzi turned to leave, and soon, he walked back with a cup, and the cup contained a green liquid.

"Pour it in his mouth!" Chen Yueru said coldly.

At this time, Zongzi hesitated, and he asked word by word: "Boss, you really have to eat his heart, he is a human being, and people's hearts may not have an effect on your cultivation." Moreover, you are also human. ”

Chen Yueru closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and finally said loudly: "Nonsense, now I haven't eaten my heart for eight days, in this vast desert, it's not easy to catch a living thing with a heart, if I don't eat his heart, who else can I eat?" You're a heartless thing! ”

"Okay, I'll go give him the devil's heart booster." As he spoke, Zongzi walked up to me, stretched out one hand, pinched my mouth, and took the cup of green liquid in the other, and was about to pour it into my mouth.
