As the sun sets, night slowly falls.

In the east of Yunxi Village, in the ancestral hall, several ever-bright lamps are "hissing" burning, and the green smoke is shrouded, shrouded in rows of neatly placed ancestral tablets, which looks very solemn and solemn.

Next to the incense case, Chang Huaiyuan was reverently inserting a few sticks of fine incense in his hand into the incense burner, and behind him, Chang Wei was kneeling on a futon very seriously, with an indescribable respect on his fresh and handsome face.

After a while, Chang Huaiyuan turned around and said, "Wei'er, do you know who the wordless spirit tablets in the bottom row enshrine are?"

Chang Wei said: "The children know that they are all elders of the clan who have made big mistakes in their lives, and they are enshrined in the most conspicuous position to warn future generations not to repeat the mistakes of their predecessors. ”

Chang Huaiyuan said again: "Then do you know what sins they have committed?"

Chang Wei said without thinking: "Naturally, it is a felony that violates the clan rules. ”

Hearing this, I don't know what I remembered, Chang Huaiyuan's body stiffened slightly, and after being silent for a while, he lowered his voice and said: "Wei'er, you are so old in a blink of an eye, and some things are also up to you to know. ”

Chang Wei's body was shocked, his eyes widened, and he said, "Evil God! Isn't that an apocryphal evil spirit? How could it be...... Could it be that the stories my grandmother told me when I was a child turned out to be true!"

In Yunxi Village, there has been an ancient legend, in the depths of this mountain, there is a very evil spirit, not human and non-beast, extremely mysterious, if the villagers who go out hunting accidentally see him, they will be eroded by evil forces, and become a living dead who only knows how to kill.

Whenever the children in the village naughtily and secretly ran into the mountains to play, the adults would tell this story to scare them, so Chang Wei always thought that the evil god was just a fiction, but he didn't think that it was a real thing, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

Chang Wei's reaction Chang Huaiyuan looked at it from afar, and saw a trace of sadness and bitterness on his face, and said in a gloomy tone: "The evil god does exist, but it is not in the mountains, but in our bloodline, we ...... In fact, it is the offspring of an evil god!"

Chang Wei was even more shocked in his heart, and said in a trembling voice: "What! We are actually the descendants of the evil god, but we are obviously no different from others. ”

Chang Huaiyuan suddenly sighed heavily, and said: "Yes, obviously from the outside, we are no different from normal humans, but what flows in our bodies is such a dirty blood, it is like a volcano that has been dormant for many years, when it erupts, it will easily erase our existence like harvesting straw, turning us into monsters that are neither human nor beasts, and finally pointing the butcher's knife at the people we love and dearest." ”

Sitting on the ground in despair, Chang Wei only felt a chill welling up in his heart, and said in a dry throat: "Dad, the child still doesn't understand, since we are the descendants of the evil god, why can we still live like normal people?"

Chang Huaiyuan was silent for a moment, as if he was recalling something, and then he took a deep breath and said: "This starts with the birth of the evil god, on the land where we live, thousands of living beings die every year, although they are dead, the power of evil qi accumulated in the body for many years has not dissipated because of this, but has been floating in the mountains and forests for a long time, so that over time, a terrifying energy body has been formed, which is the evil god in the mouth of the ancestors in the mountains. ”

Chang Huaiyuan paused for a moment, and then said: "Later, for some unknown reason, the evil god gave birth to his own will, and began to consciously absorb the power of those evil qi floating in the air, and became more and more powerful, until he finally became the overlord of this mountain, commanding all beasts, and proclaiming himself an evil god. ”

"However, everything in the world must flourish and decline, and the powerful evil god must also face a naked fact in front of him, that is, the problem of Shouyuan. Shortly after becoming the Beastmaster, he began to realize that his life was passing by little by little. This had to make him feel terrified, because his strength came from the beasts of the mountains, and for the beasts, his very existence was an extreme temptation, which could also make them powerful. So, in order to defend his throne, the evil god began to stir up disputes among the beasts, eradicate dissidents, and use internal friction to eliminate many powerful beast kings. ”

Stopping and glancing at Chang Wei, Chang Huaiyuan reorganized his words and said, "However, although most of the beast kings are dead, the fear in the evil god's heart has not diminished in the slightest, and it was only then that he realized that what really frightened him was not the covetousness of the beasts for their power, but the end of life. He longs for immortality, and for this reason he has made countless efforts, and finally found a way to continue his life, that is, to take away other living beings, and gradually merge with the host in the way of hosting, until he finally gains control of the body and completes the continuation of life, and human beings are the most suitable physique to take away. ”

Chang Wei hesitated for a moment, a little uncertain, and said, "So, are we the descendants born after the evil god succeeded in seizing the throne and combining with humans?"

Chang Huaiyuan's heart sank, and said: "You are only half right, although we are descendants of evil gods, our existence is actually an accident. ”

Chang Wei was puzzled: "Accident?"

Chang Huaiyuan bowed slightly, and said, "Although our ancestors were unfortunately chosen by the evil gods, they were not taken away from it, but successfully defeated it with their own will and regained control of their bodies. However, to his surprise, the evil god did not disappear there, but merged with his bloodline and appeared in his offspring, forming a kind of monster that is neither human nor beastly. What he didn't expect was that because of the contamination of the bloodline, the breath of the person who awakened the bloodline of the evil god would be exposed, causing the people of the whole clan to become the target of the crowd and be attacked by the beasts in the mountains. ”

Chang Wei's pupils shrank suddenly, and he said, "Evil God Bloodline...... Could it be that this is the reason for the frequent invasion of demonic beasts in these days?"

Chang Huaiyuan suddenly showed a sad look on his face and said, "Yes, in the eyes of the beasts, the power of the evil god is the most delicious food in the world. In order to prevent the rest of the clansmen from being harassed by the demonic beasts in the mountains, and in order to completely cut off the possibility of reviving the power of the evil gods, our ancestors decided to kill their relatives and wipe out all the descendants of his lineage. ”

Chang Wei's breath stagnated, and he said in disbelief: "Just for the sake of an uncertain factor, our ancestors are too cruel!"

Chang Huaiyuan raised his eyes slightly, glanced at the row of wordless spirit cards on the incense case, and said gloomily: "Our ancestors did nothing wrong in this matter, it turns out that the evil god has not completely died, but has been hiding in our body, this is a seizure of our whole clan, once it succeeds, it will be the moment when our clan will perish." ”

Chang Wei's body trembled slightly, and said, "The evil gods have been dead for so long, is it possible that they can still be resurrected?"

Chang Huaiyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but our ancestors guessed that the evil god did not die from the beginning, he just thought of a better way to extend life when confronting our ancestors, and the reason why he hid on us all these years is to find a best host to be reborn in human form, rather than a simple sense of seizure." ”

Chang Wei showed a bit of thought on his face, and after a moment, he said in a low voice: "According to what you say, isn't it true that every time a clansman who awakens the power of the evil god appears, it means that the evil god has the possibility of resurrection, and if the seizure fails, what will happen to those who are chosen in the end?"

Glancing at his son sitting on the ground with some reluctance, Chang Huaiyuan smiled miserably and said, "Wei'er, if it were you, what would you do one day when you find that the clansmen around you have become a monster that is neither human nor ghost, and there are constantly powerful demonic beasts coming to invade the village?"

Chang Wei suddenly didn't dare to look at Chang Huaiyuan's eyes, and the hand hidden in the sleeve robe unconsciously clenched hard, and after being silent for a long time, Fang Wei said with slightly red eyes: "If there really is such a day, I will focus on the overall situation and eliminate all factors that may endanger the safety of the clansmen." ”
