"The old man is a man of this world. The old man said with a smile. At the same time, he picked up the piece of meat that Li Yunxin had placed on the slate before and sent it to him, "It's cold, it doesn't taste good." If you haven't eaten this, you really don't know what makes the world taste the best. ”

The meat was indeed cold. A layer of white oil solidifies on the surface of the dark brown muscle, enveloping the original burnt aroma.

Li Yunxin looked at the meat and reached out to take it. After a little hesitation, he sat down by the campfire and put the meat on the fire.

"What you just saw was an illusion?"

"Some are, some don't. Li Yunxin realized at this time that the old man actually didn't look very old, and his movements were not so slow. This should be an elderly person who is still in good health. The old man looked at Li Yunxin, "But the news is always right." The three of them are now more than 100 miles outside Weicheng, and they are living in that temple. That woman can't die for a while. ”

Li Yun thought for a while: "So, the facts are true. But the scenes, the details, I saw were all illusions - you just recreated them for me. ”

The old man smiled: "It's a smart little boy." ”

"But how do you know what they will say and do? The illusion you have created is so vivid that I can't find any flaws. ”

"The old man doesn't know now. The old man didn't have any magical powers to create a fantasy. The old man said with a smile. It seems that he likes to see Li Yunxin's puzzled look, which makes him feel happy and interesting, and at the same time it is a novel experience, "This folding fan in your hand, there is a good painting on the surface of this fan." You record what you have seen in your eyes and what you have thought in your heart—what you have just seen is only what is in your own heart, not the work of the old man. ”

- just now he grabbed into the mist, and it was his own folding fan.

"Then you protected the three of them. Li Yunxin looked at him, "What does Your Excellency need me to do?" ”

The old man found a few sticks of dry wood from the ground and put them in the fire, which made the fire even stronger. The tongue of fire **** the meat in Li Yunxin's hand, and the aroma rose again. He pointed to the piece of meat, "Eat it first." ”

Li Yunxin didn't speak, he reached out and tore a piece and put it in his mouth.

An excited look appeared on the old man's face: "Ah, you're not afraid of human flesh?"

Li Yunxin smiled: "It doesn't look like it." Since I'm a demon, I must have some research on human flesh. ”

But after he said this, his expression froze slightly.

Because the taste burst in his mouth.

He didn't eat much of the delicacies of the mountains and seas in this era, but he had eaten a lot in the original world. In such a highly developed world, I tried all kinds of ingredients and cooking methods, and I thought that the world was delicious.

I didn't expect this thing to be in my mouth now...... Something that was so simple and just roasted on the fire - it tasted like this!

His teeth crushed the flesh as he spoke. The aroma of the muscle fibers burst out at once. It seems that every shredded meat is soaked with full of fragrance and freshness, and now I have finally found an opportunity to release it to the fullest. This kind of aroma fills the mouth in an instant, but it does not feel greasy - after the fragrance, it is a slippery taste and a smooth freshness, burrowing into every corner of the mouth, lingering on every taste bud......

This is...... What is it?!

Li Yunxin's eyes widened as he looked at the old man—he had already brought too much surprise to himself.

The old man's reaction when he saw him only smiled indifferently and said, "It's all time passers-by." Many things that were not strange at once were then known to be the most precious things in the world. Since you have eaten this delicacy, it means that you are not a boring person. Then the old man has one more thing for you to do. ”

Li Yunxin stopped talking. The old man's miracle had exceeded his expectations.

The old man said to himself: "Old man, I still have a month to live, thirty days. You will play with me for thirty days. If I have fun, I will do one thing for you, which is to repay your favor. If I am not unhappy and unhappy, I will not give you anything. ”

"Su Gong looks still physically tough. Li Yunxin said cautiously, "No matter how you look at it, Shouyuan is more than thirty days." ”

"I don't know. The old man stood up. Li Yunxin realized that his figure seemed to be slightly taller than when he first saw it—I don't know if it was because he straightened his spine at the moment.

The old man held a stick of firewood that was still burning from the fire and asked Li Yunxin, "Do you know what kind of meat you ate just now?"

Without waiting for him to answer, he threw the firewood in his hand into the dark corner of the stone gap.

The corners are illuminated.

Through the firelight, Li Yunxin saw a ...... Stuff. At first glance, it looks like a disemboweled. White and chubby, the belly was dissected. One thigh is gone, and the other is half broken. The meat he ate just now must have been cut from that thigh.

He lay flat on a boulder in the corner, one hand loosely resting, and his head tilted back slightly to the side — reminding Li Yunxin of a famous painting from his world: David's "The Death of Marat."

But because of this, I could see his face clearly.

It doesn't seem to be human. That face had facial features, but just like the divine magic bodies of Li Yunxin and Dong Tingjun, it still had some animal features while retaining the silhouette of a human. The facial features on this face were scattered, as if the originally good face had been inflated and propped up from the middle.

"You kid doesn't eat people. The old man said to him, "But what is a human being? There are internal organs, acupuncture points and meridians? It was originally a servant by my side, and it was originally a big tail in the Lan River (note). ”

"I said he escorted me ashore, yes, he did. But like my child, it wasn't a good idea—he coveted what was in me. But I'm a dying old man...... Where's the good stuff? Alas, it's become my food. He's a demon now, and when he dissects it, he's no different from a human being—is he a human being?"

Seeing that Li Yunxin didn't speak, the old man said again: "In other words, not only the internal organs, but also the things in the head—they all say that people are the spirits of all things and have wisdom." But does the demon have wisdom? Eating such a thing that is indistinguishable from that of a man...... Is it a human eater, or is it game? Do you think about what you just ate now, but you still think it's delicious?"

Li Yunxin was silent for a while, and frowned slightly: "I thought you were a Taoist before, but then I thought you were a demon. ”

"You saved my people, so that the Taoist could use them to coerce me. You look like you're on the side of a demon. And now thou hast called me to eat of this flesh, and hast eaten it, and hast shown it to me. The purpose was to make me feel unwell...... Looking at it is also to break the line in my heart - I can eat this thing with the same body structure and mental intelligence as human beings, 'why can't I eat people'?"

"Well, but there are some things that you don't know. Li Yunxin sighed, "I am highly educated, so I know that even if the structure looks the same, there are thoughts and wisdom, but ...... DNA is different. You don't understand it, but it's a matter of course. ”

"But there's another thing — he just looks like a human being, and he's a spirit himself. What if it's really human? You don't know my past. Or is this world indeed under the control of the Dao System and the Sword Sect...... It is more stable and happy than the Middle Ages of a possible world. ”

"Dao Tong and Sword Sect still played a very positive role - without their permission, there would be no large-scale war, and there would be no ...... Alas. In certain places, at certain times, for a long period of time, it is not uncommon to use people for military rations, at least in a cycle like a few hundred years. ”

"So I'm very tolerant of cannibalism. Li Yunxin looked at the old man, "Whether to eat or not is not the essential problem, the essential problem is something else, here." ”

He gestured to his head.

An unexpected and novel smile appeared on the old man's face again. He laughed, "Good, good, good." You're such a funny boy. I'm going to have to make up my mind, old man, and let's go, this hole is boring too. ”

Without waiting for Li Yunxin to agree, the old man pulled him up and walked out of the cave. I was grabbed by the hand, and I wanted to shake it off. But found ...... It's not the imaginary demonic power, nor is it the tenacious body of a cultivated human being.

This is the hand of an ordinary old man. The palm is slightly rough, but it is by no means a hand that is used to doing farm work. It's dry, but it's hot. It seems to mean that the old man is in a good mood and in good health.

It was because of such a slight startle that he pulled himself out into the forest.

The old man doesn't use supernatural powers and walks like an ordinary person. And Li Yunxin was waiting, waiting for him to cross the water for a while to see if his habit of casting spells was more like a demon or more a monk. This old man is both righteous and evil, and what he says can be interpreted at will, he is really an elusive old slippery head.

But when he reached the water's edge, the old man stood still, and did not move. He only looked at Li Yunxin and said, "Take me away." ”

Li Yunxin smiled: "Su Gong has great powers, why do you want me to bring it?"

The old man frowned at this time: "You kid." How could the old man ever exert any magical powers? Will he fool you?"

Li Yunxin thought about it carefully......

Then I realized that there was none. From the moment he saw the old man to the present, the other party has never shown any kind of skill that an ordinary sixty-year-old man does not have. He himself entered the illusion and saw Liu Laodao and Sanhua Dragon Girl, but ...... Didn't see how the old man cast spells.

Li Yunxin shook his head: "Okay." Since Su Gong likes to hide deeply, let's help Su Gong in the future. ”

With a wave of his sleeves, a gust of demonic wind swept the old man and himself, straight into the air.

Although flying was more convenient than he was at the time, it was not as comfortable as he was at that time. Flying high in the sky, the wind is strong. It was very fast—the gale was pouring into his mouth, and it was hard to breathe. It blew through his clothes again, and he was cold. Therefore, the monks can only fly when they reach the realm of transformation, and they can go to the world when they reach the realm of truth.

Li Yunxin took the old man up to the sky, looked ahead, and deliberately flew extremely fast. After such a quarter of an hour, the old man did not speak, so he glanced at it slightly. Then he was taken aback—the wrinkles of the old man's face were blown together by the strong wind, and his eyes were closed. His face was blue and his mouth was half open......

It's like a dying man!

Li Yunxin felt for a moment that he was deliberately cheating. But then he realized that the old man was a great man if he really did what he expected...... It's understandable to pretend to be deep, but it's too bad to make such a look.

He hurriedly slowed down, lifted the old man behind him, and frowned: "You really ......"

Only then did the old man slowly regain his breath and become angry: "You kid, why don't you believe me?

After speaking, he shook his hand suddenly.

Originally, an ordinary old man couldn't shake off Li Yunxin's hand. But seeing that he was about to be angry, Li Yunxin had a guard in his heart - if he was prepared, he naturally planned to knock the opponent away at any time, so he only used his strength in vain. The old man really broke free all of a sudden, kicked his feet, and the whole person fell straight towards the surface of the lake.

Li Yunxin was going to catch him. But when he saw that the old man's face was still angry and glared at him, he didn't have the slightest hint of panic.

So he took the momentum and just watched.

Seeing the old man's body falling all the way towards the lake, when he was still a few feet from the water, he shouted in his hoarse voice: "Evil animal!

As soon as these words fell, a fishy storm broke out on the originally calm surface of the lake. Then a deep roar like a cow was heard beneath the surface of the water, and a great shadow appeared—

With another loud bang, a hornless evil dragon rushed out of the water, jumped up, and caught the old man on his head!

Li Yunxin gasped in mid-air. He naturally recognized this evil Jiao, it was the dragon that bumped into him in the White Forest seven days ago! At that time, the evil Jiao was not afraid when he saw Li Yunxin's cockroach kissing dragon, but now he was like a loyal dog, and he was called by this old man!

It is said that the unenlightened beasts know the most about majesty and fear. Li Yunxin now fixed his eyes on the head of the evil Jiao - it was originally born with a pair of cow ears, but at this moment, the huge pair of cow ears were pressed very low, clinging to both sides of the head, and it was very scary to look at!

And the old man was caught by the evil Jiao steadily, and reached out to grab his thick sideburns. The sideburns were the thickness of a child's arm, and the old man stood in his sideburns and grasped it with his hands, and then sat cross-legged between the hairs, even if he had the momentum of an immortal riding a dragon for nine days!

The dragon doesn't take off, it only swims in the water. But at this time, there was an old man on his head, so he didn't dare to bury his head in the water. Holding his head high and walking on the water, he didn't dare to show his fierce light anymore when he saw Li Yunxin in mid-air, but whined from time to time-

As if begging him to take the old man up to heaven quickly!

Li Yunxin followed the evil Jiao in a daze, and his eyes locked on the old man's figure......

What the hell is this sacred?!

At this time, the old man raised his head, the anger on his face was gone, and he was replaced by a smug smile: "You kid, have you ever experienced the taste of riding a dragon?" (To be continued.) )
