Chapter 16: Humans and Animals (Asking for Recommendation Votes)

The fragrant roast leg of lamb, the guests are fine when they eat it, which means that it must not be poisonous!

And Brother Zhu reminded that what is more terrible than poison is the human heart! As a profound "giant spirit son" of Taoism....... You should be able to see it!

For a while, Sima Yang had deep thoughts!

After all, he is a Taoist who has been walking the rivers and lakes for more than 20 years, and he seems to have pondered a little, and took out a small exquisite mirror from the bag, and took out a small flat peach wood round box.

In the round box, there is a transparent substance similar to alabaster, cut out some, apply it to the mirror surface of the mirror, and then look at the pair of lamb legs with his backhand and look into the mirror!

When Sima Yang looked at the pair of lamb legs on the table from the small mirror the size of a palm, he was dumbfounded and his hands trembled!

Xiaoyu also leaned over and looked into the mirror, and suddenly felt a chill in her heart! But when she saw that in the mirror, there was still a roast leg of mutton, which was clearly on two human calf bones..... Skewered with two lumps of charred meat!

This moment..... The original fragrant smell of barbecue meat was like a gastric lavage emetic, which made the brothers extremely sick to their stomach......s! After a while, I retched with a "wow"!

Let's not say that meat is the same, but the bones of people and sheep are different! The calf bone of a sheep is a short and thick one, 20-30 cm long, and the calf of a person is ...... There are two bones, the tibia and the fibula, both of which are 40 centimeters long!

Even a fool can tell the difference between the "wing root" and the "wing middle", right......? There are two bones!

"Vomit ......!" Sima Yang vomited violently, and vomited out all the rice wine and cakes he had just eaten, with a face of pain and struggle!

Not to say..... This guy has a fragile soul and can't see a disgusting and miserable picture. But...... Before he went to Fufeng Town, he first had a "full meal" in Niushou Village.

"Brother Sima, calm down!" Xiaoyu patted him on the back and comforted.

"Immeasurable Heavenly Venerable!" Sima Yang's face was distorted, and he shouted in a trembling voice: "The inexhaustible ghosts and ghosts, the endless demons and monsters, the scourge of the world is so ..... !"

"Boom!", the guy stomped his foot violently, almost kicking the floor of the inn.

"Brother Sima, be calm! Don't startle the snake, once you have found the clues, don't use it when the hidden dragon and find out the devil!" Xiaoyu reminded.

Slowed down for a while..... Sima Yang was still disgusted, his face was hideous and distorted, and he was so angry that tears were about to come out! He grabbed Xiaoyu's hand and asked, "Brother Zhu, how can you see it at a glance...... There's something wrong with this meat?"

Xiaoyu sighed slightly, looked at Sima Yang meaningfully, and wanted to tell him about cannibalism and strange diseases, but she was also worried...... Increasing his psychological pressure, this Sima Yang is already bad enough! It is not suitable to make matters worse.

Can be ..... If he is secretive and too mysterious, he seems to be insincere, careless from far and near, and does not regard him as his own.

"Cough!" Xiaoyu shook his head with a wry smile: "Brother Sima, although you are profound in Taoism and know the laws of Xuanmen, you don't know all about Zhou Tian's things, you must know ..... This man's eyes are different from the eyes of animals, just ..... When the butcher slaughtered the sheep, I noticed that the sheep's eyes were different from those of ordinary animals!"

"Oh, how do you say that?" Sima Yang sighed and was stunned.

Xiaoyu muttered: "Beasts and the like, not to mention the size of the eyeballs, the pupils are basically the four white eyes in the middle of the hanging, and only the human pupils are connected to the eyelids...... Some people are three whites, some are three whites, and some are ..... It's the pupils and the upper and lower eyelids that are next to each other, and animals definitely don't do that.....! I guess these dogs and sheep are all made of animals...... It's not raised by the villagers of Niushou Village!"

"Straight lady thief! That's it!" Sima Yang was excited again, his fists clenched and gurgling.

Actually, Xiaoyu said so..... It wasn't groundless, he did go to the sheep cage and the dog cage to see it......

If anything, it was just a suspicion at first..... I'd rather believe it than believe it, and don't let Sima Yang eat meat. So when he walked over to the cage and looked closely, he had basically confirmed his assumptions! These animals to be slaughtered...... Nine times out of ten, it's all people who become!

I remember when I was a child, the old people in the village, afraid that the children would run around and get lost, made up all kinds of scaring statements, saying that they were ..... Those human traffickers will use spells to turn you into cats and puppies and take you away, and it is useless for you to escape, because you can't change back.

The naïve children asked, "How do you know...... Some of the kittens and puppies are children, and the old people explained..... The eyeballs are different, just like what Xiaoyu explained to Sima Yang just now.

These things are all nightmares in Xiaoyu's childhood, and they didn't come to fruition...... This "identification method" came in handy in this ancient world!

In fact, until Sima Yang took a mirror, no matter how doubtful he was, it was just a guess..... It's all hammered!

"Hiss~~~ Eh!" After being depressed and annoyed, this Sima Yang also calmed down, and began to reflect with his teeth, his brows twisted into a pimple.

"Brother Zhu, it stands to reason..... This art of making animals is not simple, ordinary people can't play it, the rivers and lakes have been extinct for many years, and this Niushou Village, there are so many people who have been made animals, is it difficult to do it..... The villagers here are all demons with unique skills, and the merchants who come and go ...... future," Sima Yang sighed and said in surprise.

"Definitely!" Xiaoyu waved his hand: "I want to do what you say..... With so many merchants missing, Niushou Village has long been notorious, and it is not a black store model to play here, and it is ...... The people here are also innocent, and the crux of the matter is how this Niushou Village became rich!"

He paused and continued, "Brother Sima, do you want to ..... This place is barren, and it is not a grassland with fertile water and grass for the Hu people, how can it be possible to raise so many livestock? Even if the Hu people graze, they have to keep migrating with the change of seasons to find suitable water and grass, not to mention ..... This is a village where grass doesn't even grow.....? Raising livestock is a lot more troublesome than farming!"

"Yes!" Sima Yang let out a long sigh: "I'm just ..... Just looking at the surface, I didn't think deeply about it, so Brother Zhu ..... Have you already thought of a countermeasure?"

Xiaoyu replied: "Shun Teng touches the melon, let's go down and ask, by the way..... Use that little mirror of yours to look at the livestock in this village again. ”

After the two of them said that, they went downstairs, found a guy in the inn casually, and inquired.

Saying goes..... Poor ** plan, rich conscience, this is not false at all, Niushou Village is rich, and the people are also enthusiastic and cheerful. The cattle of this village of Niushou ..... How did it get up, I told Xiaoyu and Sima Yang.

Indeed, according to the geographical conditions here, it is impossible to "produce" so many pigs, dogs, cattle and sheep.

But I can't stand the help of nobles!

This noble man..... It is the old lady Yuan Jiuchang Yuan in the east of the village!

After the death of the Tang Dynasty, he took refuge in the King of Jin, and became the prime minister of the Zhu State for seven or eight years.

Although the old man has returned to his hometown to retire, his son Yuan Pingzhang is amazing, the current general of Huaihua of the Jin Kingdom, holding heavy troops, guarding Huzhou, saying nothing in front of the King of Jin, and he is also a powerful figure!

The general guarded the border and served the country, so naturally he could not often go back to his hometown to visit his parents, but the continuous "support" was never broken. During the New Year's holidays, hundreds of sheep, hundreds of pigs, dozens of dogs, and dozens of cattle are sent to Niushou Village, almost every two or three months, a wave is sent, and there is a steady stream!

Niushou Village, after all, is a small village with few people in the middle of nowhere, and you can't buy anything if you send gold or silver! It's not as affordable as sending livestock. And Yuan Jiuchang Old Lady Yuan is open-minded, kind and generous, he doesn't worry about food or clothing...... The animals were distributed to the villagers.

Of course, the villagers were happy, and there were not a few hundred people in the whole village, and hundreds of animals came at a time, three or four times a year. Especially...... The braised pork here is well made, and many passing guests are full of praise after tasting it!

After listening to the innkeeper's story, Xiaoyu and Sima Yang came to the streets and alleys again, whether it was the stalls and cages of the market, or the fences and fences in the courtyards of the common people's houses, they all used the small mirror to scan them one by one.

They found..... Almost all of the people's livestock here have been turned into people! And ..... What is intriguing is that they are all young and middle-aged men.

Of course.... Birds such as chickens and ducks are not humanized, but pigs, dogs, cows and sheep, without exception, are all changed by men, squatting inside, and their eyes are dull and tethered.

Xiaoyu and Sima Yang also went to the back of the courtyard of Yuan Jiuchang's house to peep and found ..... Their livestock have also been changed into people! One by one, they nested there in a stupid and honest manner, not daring to move.

"Brother Sima..... I'm thinking that the secret of this animal creation should have been revealed, but it was done by Yuan Pingzhang, the son of Old Lady Yuan! And these men who were turned into cattle were all prisoners of war nine times out of ten!" Xiaoyu muttered.

Sima Yang pouted incredulously: "Turn prisoners of war into pigs and sheep and give them to your father to eat? What is the reason? Is it filial piety or not filial piety? It is really incomprehensible." Even more intriguing is that his father ...... He also gave these animals to the villagers to eat, so that they could eat them too! Does the old man know the details, or does he keep them in the dark?"

After thinking for a while, Xiaoyu changed the topic: "Brother Sima, since you can see through the essence of these domestic animals through the Divine Mirror, can you ..... How about using magic to turn them back into humans?"

"It's difficult!" Sima Yang sighed and said: "It stands to reason that all the laws in the world can be reversed, but turning into an animal itself is an extremely evil demon method, not to mention that with my ability, even if my master comes, I am afraid that I will not be able to turn them back, and this bone mirror of mine can at most see the origin through Taoism!"
