Chapter 07 Two Youkai

Mei Quan learns at the village chief's house that only his own black cat can replace the boy and girl. Because the sorcerer found the tiger's qi in this black cat, the dragon and the tiger are the overlords of heaven and earth, and eating its flesh can replenish yang qi, and the river god likes to eat such sacrifices.

Through Mei Quan's contact with Zhou Feng these days, he has regarded Zhou Feng as a member of the family, and he has an attachment, and he wants to offer it as a sacrifice, and he is reluctant.

Mei Quan caressed Zhou Feng, his big hand trembling slightly, "Xiao Hei, I'm going to send you away in order to save someone's life, don't blame me." Just now, I begged for a fish from Ah Qi and made a faint meal for you to show my gratitude. ”

River God Festival Day.

There is an ancient altar on the bank of the Huangsha River, and the altar is full of offerings. Zhou Feng and eight boys and girls were each locked up in a bamboo cage. The children were four or five years old, some were crying, some were playing. Zhou Feng lay in the cage as if nothing happened, he was already used to his life and death.

The sorcerer who had been to Mei Quan's house was dancing an ugly dance on the stage, holding a witch staff in one hand and shaking a brass bell in the other, and chanting words in his mouth. The villagers of each village fell to their knees in the dark and oppressive patches of the earth, and they knelt down to the chanting of the shaman, praying that the river god would not be guilty.

Suddenly, the sky darkened, and dark clouds rolled in in the distance. With a gust of wind raging, Zhou Feng and the sacrifices were gone.

Zhou Feng felt that his eyes were black, the wind was loud in his ears, and his body was spinning and flying. It seems that there is really a river god, and this world is a little cold.

The wind stopped, and Zhou Feng slowly opened his eyes in a dizziness, and found himself in a dark and damp cave. Everything in the hole was clear in his eyes, because he was now a cat.

The walls of the cave were covered with moss, and from time to time water droplets dripped from the roof of the cave, making a clattering sound. Eight boys and girls were drowsy beside him, looking at those immature appearances, Zhou Feng was very sad in his heart. At such a young age, it was a time to play and frolic, but he became a victim of the clan.

Bang, snap......

With a sound, a figure came in from outside. Is this the river god? Zhou Feng could see it clearly, this was a middle-aged man in a black robe with a dark complexion. What's going on? Zhou Feng had doubts in his heart.

The black-robed man approached the bamboo cage and squatted down, stretched out a finger and touched each child's forehead. Although his face was expressionless, he could see the disappointment in his eyes. The black-robed man stretched out his finger towards Zhou Feng, and an invisible air flow poured into Zhou Feng's brain along his fingers. The black-robed man's face twitched, and there was a hint of surprise in the corner of his eyes as he stood up.

"Come in. The black-robed man let out a deep voice.

Soon two gray-robed men came in from the outside, their faces covered and only a pair of cold eyes were exposed, standing behind the black-robed men and waiting for orders.

"These sacrifices were useless goods, and they were sent to the black kiln as slaves. The cat was sent to my secret room and carefully guarded. The black-robed man gave the order and turned around and walked out.

It turns out that these people are human traffickers, which is really hateful. Zhou Feng clenched his fists and gritted his teeth, but he was glad that these children survived after all, but how did he know that the life of the black kiln was worse than death.

It was pitch black outside, and it was late at night. A carriage was parked in a grave, and two gray-robed men were loading some bamboo cages onto the wagon.

Only then did Zhou Feng realize that he was in a tomb just now. These tombs seem to be in the middle of nowhere, and they are covered with weeds and are half a man high.

The carriage sped away, and Zhou Feng had the idea of escaping again in the cage. The door of the bamboo cage is tied with hemp rope, he knows the strength of the hemp rope, he is constantly biting, and his hope can only be pinned on the rope buckle.

The gap in the bamboo cage was just enough to stretch out a cat's paw, and Zhou Feng stretched one paw towards the rope buckle. The buckle is loose. This surprise made Zhou Feng's heart surge, and it seemed that God still favored me.

Zhou Feng easily untied the rope buckle and regained his personal freedom. He wanted to rescue those children, but there were two gray-robed men in front of him, and he had no room to do anything. What's more, they don't look like ordinary people, and if they have a mistake, they have to become someone else's bag. At present, the only way is to escape first and find Plum Village to expose the face of the traffickers.

"Whoosh!"

Zhou Feng jumped out of the carriage and got into the grass, he didn't care about discerning the direction, and desperately fled.

Even this faint voice startled the two gray-robed men, and the carriage stopped suddenly. They find a cage empty and the only valuable cat has run away, and there is unease in their eyes.

"You go and inform the master, I'll chase after you. Before the words fell, a gray-robed man flew and disappeared into the shadows.

The sky was bright, and Zhou Feng ran all night without stopping. Tired, he slipped into the grass and stopped, snorting and panting.

The sun rises in the east, and it's a new day.

Zhou Feng discerned the direction and looked for Plum Village. He knew that Meicun was near the Huangsha River, and as long as he could find the Huangsha River along the bank, he could find Meicun.

The Huangsha River meanders thousands of miles from north to south, with a large target and easy to find. Zhou Feng soon discovered the big river, and he followed the river bank all the way north according to his own consciousness.

Night fell, and the stars in the sky were smiling again. Not far away, Zhou Feng saw the ancient altar. The altar looks even more desolate and sad in the night, and I don't know how many lives have passed here.

Found the altar and Namei Village was nearby, and Zhou Feng was about to leave, when he suddenly heard a sound of "goo, goo, goo......" in the water.

Zhou Feng turned his head to look, "Mom!" was so shocked that he was dumbfounded. Although it was dark night, Zhou Feng really saw the things around him, which was the benefit of having a cat's eye.

I saw two big heads coming out of the water, which was very scary. Two big eyes protruding outward, a small nose, a big mouth, and green skin are slimy, similar to the toad.

Zhou Feng quietly lay down, for fear of being discovered by these two guys, and accidentally became someone's supper.

The two monsters slowly climbed ashore and stood up, not tall, about one and a half meters. A round body with slender limbs and a crocodile-like tail.

The two men slowly climbed up to the altar and sat cross-legged on their knees, exhaling themselves in the sky. After a while, two white beads spat out of their mouths, suspended in the air, flashing with a faint white light.

Oh yes! This is really the monster described in "Journey to the West", they look like toad spirits. Zhou Feng even thought that he was dreaming, but he didn't dare to slap his face again, for fear of frightening the two monsters to eat him.
