Chapter 389: Innate Demon Spirit
The sky gradually darkened, and the spots of light cast through the holes in the walls and roof of the wooden house kept moving until the dimming disappeared. For more up-to-date chapters, visit: ШЩЩ.(7)(9)XS.сОМ.
The elder respectfully opened the curtain of the 'door', and after interrupting the conversation of several people, a few young 'women' came in with food plates, smelling the fragrance of food, Zhang Xiaohu and Xiang'er realized that time passed so quickly, and they chatted until the evening unconsciously.
The entangled vines quickly separated, and after the tea set that was originally placed on it was removed by Kunshan, the coffee table changed into three small tables, just to put down the food plate in the hand of the young 'girl'.
In the middle of the plate is a golden roasted 'meat', piled high, still bubbling with oil, and the 'tempting' aroma fills the whole wooden house, next to it is a clear soup made from the roots of unknown plants, and a few fresh melons and fruits.
Kunshan's is different from the two, except for melons and fruits, there is only a pot of water, which is extremely simple.
Seeing Xiang'er's curious gaze, Kunshan smiled, "I'm sorry, I don't eat meat, I can't accompany you."
"You're just that easy to eat?"
Xiang'er couldn't believe it, the dignified gods ate this, even if they didn't eat meat, there should be spiritual fruits and the like.
"Simple?"
Kunshan shook his head, the vines rustled, and explained with a smile, "This clear spring is carried back from the valley thousands of miles away from the village, and as long as the spring water in the early morning, just this, the village needs several people to guard there every day, and these melons and fruits are the best varieties within a radius of thousands of miles, and it is difficult for ordinary people to see them, and the 'cost' of my meal is enough for a family to eat for a year."
Outside the window, countless villagers knelt down and prayed, thanking the gods for the abundant food and thanking for the safe passage of the day.
As the prayers continued, the towering tree in the center of the village shook gently, and points of light fell from the leaves and branches to the villagers praying for blessings.
"This is the means of the gods?"
Zhang Xiaohu curiously observed the changes outside the window, until the prayer was over and the villagers began to eat, then pointed out the window and asked.
"It's just a little bit of a gadget"
Kunshan smiled and said, "They sacrificed to me to be free from the pain of illness and to have a powerful god to protect them, and just now this is just a small response to my daily prayers."
Zhang Xiaohu nodded, and he realized in his heart that he was no longer speechless.
"The sacrificial power of every hundred villagers, after tempering, I can only return one percent, if I give each of them strength all the time, then I don't exist, so I can only give them a little blessing every day to protect them from diseases."
Kunshan said lightly, "The power of sacrifice, I can only selectively bless some particularly qualified people, and then let them lead the entire village, and those residual powers will be preserved by me and used in war or emergency, so that the village can last forever."
Zhang Xiaohu looked out the window, after the sacrifice of the towering tree looks extraordinarily vibrant, I don't know how many years of life of the tree stretched its branches, gently swaying in the breeze, if it were not for the continuous sacrifice of the villagers, I am afraid that this Kunshan would have long since withered, this is a kind of coexistence, is the coexistence of the village and Kunshan, is the road of coexistence between the gods and humans in this world.
The roasted 'meat' is tender and delicious, the fruits and vegetables are sweet and juicy, and when Xiang'er is feasting, she doesn't forget to take the little guy out and put it next to the food plate, and use the wonderful fragrance to 'tempt' and 'confuse' it.
Xiaobai kept 'smoking' his nose in his sleep, saliva kept flowing down from his mouth, and he couldn't sleep well anymore, moving around the food plate.
"Hehe, cute little one"
Kunshan looked at Xiaobai's appearance and said with a smile, "With that drop of juice, it will soon be successful in promotion."
Hearing this, Xiang'er hurriedly lowered her head to take a closer look, and sure enough, the original pink fluffy 'hair' was now gradually dimming, and slowly, it began to return to the pure white 'color' it used to be.
"Just now you said that the melon fruit is the best in a radius of thousands of miles, so when we came here..."
Zhang Xiaohu wiped the grease off the corners of his mouth, raised his head and looked at Kunshan's eyes and asked.
"Yes, I noticed it as soon as you came, so I will know that you are outsiders"
Kunshan shook his hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, only I can know my territory, and other gods will only find that there is a vibration here."
"So, what was it that pursued us in the first place?"
Zhang Xiaohu still remembers the breath that chased them at the beginning, from Kunshan's introduction, he has determined that it should be a demon spirit, the only strange thing is that there is a demon spirit around him, why there is no tense atmosphere in the village.
Kunshan raised his head in surprise, "Someone is chasing you?"
Zhang Xiaohu turned his head to look at Xiang'er, and made sure that Kunshan really didn't know, so he said, "A puff of black smoke gives people a feeling of 'yin' cold, which is very powerful."
"Innate Demon Spirit?"
Kunshan, who had been sitting cross-legged on the floor, stood up and looked at the two of them with some panic.
"What the hell is the Innate Demon Spirit?"
Xiang'er asked puzzled, the Kunshan in front of her looked very tall, and the standing body could reach the roof, and when the body moved, the wooden house was full of branches dancing.
Zhang Xiaohu was also stunned, and then after thinking about it, he understood, since there is the existence of an innate god, then it is not strange to add a pioneer demon spirit, but why did Kunshan make this look?
"Sorry, gaffe"
Kunshan sat down with a dry smile, lowered his head and thought for a while and said, "Innate demon spirits are the same as innate gods, they are all born, the same do not need sacrifices, and do not need black smoke, and the demon spirits are completely different in that they do not start wars, but they hide among human beings, stirring up the darkest side of people's hearts."
"It's not scary to say that."
Xiang'er was a little puzzled by Kunshan's appearance just now, just like that, she couldn't see the terrible place.
"Very scary"
Kunshan shook his head and said, "The attack of the demon spirit is just the attack of one village after another, and the casualties are limited, but the innate demon spirit, they will secretly provoke human beings to kill each other."
Seeing Zhang Xiaohu and Xiang'er's puzzled looks, Kunshan was silent for a while and said, "There have been several times in history when the whole world has fallen into a 'melee' war, and all the villages are attacking each other, that time, the whole world has wiped out more than half of the population, and there are white bones everywhere.
"Is there a lot of this kind of thing?" Zhang Xiaohu asked.
"Every once in a while, when human society returns to normal, the innate demon spirits will slowly start to move, and no one will be able to detect them, and no one will be able to prevent them."
Kunshan said with a sigh.
"Since no one has found out, how can it be proved that they did it?"
Kunshan looked at Zhang Xiaohu and said word by word, "Because, once they provoked an innate god, it was he who said it."
"Have you seen it?" asked Zhang Xiaohu.
Kunshan closed his eyes, and the wooden house fell silent, and after a long time, Kunshan opened his eyes, "Yes, I have seen it"
"What does it look like?"
Xiang'er was very excited, leaned forward, and clasped her hands tightly.
Kunshan slowly recalled, his voice trembled a little, but the wooden face could not see the change in the 'color' of his face, "A long time ago, I once saw a congenital god, and that day, he just walked in from outside the village, not fast or slow, no one knew that he was an innate god, and no one found out and saw him, including me."
"At that time, I was pondering, and when I woke up, I found a person standing in front of me, but when I looked closely, it was a ball of light, a cloud of gas, and I couldn't see the essence clearly, and in the light, there was something with a vague shape that kept moving in it, and kept observing me."
"I looked around in horror, but found that everything in the village was the same as just now, there were still people walking on the road, and the samurai continued to guard their homes, but the terrifying power was only visible to me, and I could feel that as long as he stretched out his hand and pressed it gently, I would be directly beaten back into a big tree."
"At that moment I thought I was going to die, the power was so powerful, so 'essence', I don't know how much stronger than what I got from the sacrifice, it completely suppressed me so much that I couldn't think, I don't know how long it took, and when I woke up from the fear, he was gone"
Zhang Xiaohu asked, "You didn't speak?"
Kunshan nodded, "Yes, he was watching me from beginning to end"
"Then how do you know that he is an innate god?" asked Xiang'er with a blink of eyes.
Kunshan raised his hand, and the vine branches pointed to the 'chest' and said, "Because here, that kind of innate suppression, needless to say, I can understand who he is."
"Then why did he come here without doing anything?" Zhang Xiaohu said puzzled.
Kunshan looked at Zhang Xiaohu, shook his head and said, "Who knows, the most inscrutable thing in this world is the innate gods, moody, and doing things all by happiness, you don't know who he is when you meet him, and I don't know if he will kill you or surprise you, everything can only rely on fate."
Zhang Xiaohu doesn't like this very much, the innate demon spirit is fine, and if he encounters it, he will fight, but how does the innate spirit 'deal', do you have to ask the other party what he wants to do when he meets?
"You have a lot of outsiders here?" Xiang'er remembered this question and quickly asked.
Kunshan nodded and shook his head, "Not much, occasionally there are, although I haven't seen it, but I've heard others mention it."
It is because of the rumors of outsiders that Kunshan will know the strength of outsiders, so even if he saw that Zhang Xiaohu and Xiang'er did not show their strength, he did not despise each other in the slightest.
