Chapter 199 Xu Bai: Really, I don’t believe it (8000)
The bone knife cut into the fat meat, blood spilled out everywhere.
The bright red blood spread in the water, and before it spread completely, the spirit fish in the water seemed to smell the most delicious delicacy in the world, wagging its tail quickly, rushed over like the wind, and ate the drop of blood Exhausted.
There was a **** scar on the belly of the trevally. Holding his own meat in his hand, he used a bone knife to cut it as thin as a cicada's wing. The cut meat fell into puddles one by one .
"Wow!"
The water surface began to vibrate violently, and the jumping water droplets continued to rise and fall.
Trevally walked from the farthest to the nearest, the piece of meat in his hand no longer had the scar on his stomach, it had scabbed over, and the blood no longer flowed.
He moved the flesh on his stomach and covered the wound with fat, and then he let out a sigh of relief.
"Oh, there are no graves anymore, but I want to raise these spirit fish with meat. Is it possible that I will become a person like an old Taoist who really kills people and eats meat?"
Trevally turned his head while lamenting, those eyes hidden in the fat were staring in Xu Bai's direction.
Through the hazy darkness, Xu Bai knew that the other party had found him.
The scene in front of him was extremely weird. It was the first time he had seen a fish raised with his own meat.
But now that he's been discovered, it's no big deal, just go out and have a look, and see what this guy is up to.
Xu Bai closed the gap in the window, then came to the door and opened it.
Carp did not leave, but stayed where he was, staring straight at Xu Bai who had just walked out.
"Brother, don't sleep at night, but peek at me raising fish, do you know that this is a very disrespectful thing for us fishermen."
Fisherman?
Xu Bai rubbed his chin with his fingers. It sounded like a profession, but now he realized that the fat man in front of him didn't seem to be hostile to him.
Whether I first discovered him or talked to him now, there is no hostility in a word, as if it is an ordinary chat,
"I heard movement outside in the middle of the night, so I couldn't help being curious, so I watched it." Xu Bai put down his hands and said with a smile: "If there is any offense, please forgive me, but I see the way you feed the fish. Judging from the current situation, if this goes on like this, you won't even have enough meat to feed you."
Trevally fell silent.
There was a look of sadness on that fat face, as if thinking of painful memories and falling into a kind of entanglement.
He raised his hand and beat his head vigorously, the hammer sounded loudly, echoing in the night.
His head full of hair was hammered, it looked messy, and it was blown around by the wind.
"I know that too, but what can I do?"
"It's impossible for me to learn how they eat people. After eating people, am I still a human being?"
"I can only go to the graveyard to find those dead bones, absorb the energy in the dead bones, and feed the fish with my own meat."
Trevally's legs gave way, and he sat down on the ground, his eyes became blank, and he was talking to himself there.
"I don't know how long I can last, maybe when I can't feed them, I will become those monsters that eat people."
"This world is too difficult, too difficult, some people are insisting, but it is very difficult."
"I can hardly hold on anymore, I don't know how long it will take before I will be like them, woo woo woo..."
At the end, the trevally crouched on the ground with its fat body curled up, crying in pain.
This cry is like the crowing of a night crow, which is ugly and piercing.
The spirit fish in those puddles emerged from the water surface, staring at Xu Bai's direction with their bright eyes.
The weird fish eyes reflected a cold light under the moonlight.
Xu Bai's true energy circulated, and strange patterns spread all over his body.
Something is wrong.
Just now, when those fish were staring at him, he felt a bone-chilling cold.
Looking back to the ground, the trevally is still crying, but the crying has become smaller and smaller.
When the cry was too weak to be heard by the ears, the trevally raised its head, and the tears flowing from those eyes were blood-colored.
"Can you help me?" Trevally asked, "I don't want to go on like this anymore. I don't want to become a complete cannibal for the sake of resources."
Xu Bai frowned and did not speak.
Sure enough, as he expected, these people have changed for resources, become crazier, and become more desperate.
Everyone here has problems, including this scad in front of him.
"What do you want me to help you with?" Xu Bai narrowed his eyes and said.
Trevally used both hands and feet together to get up from the ground, with a hint of madness in his eyes.
"I don't want to kill people, and I don't want to harm you either. My spirit fish can replace resources. As long as it can continue to multiply like this, we will not be short of resources."
"Us?" Xu Bai said, "You mean you want to share the spirit fish with me?"
Trevally nodded vigorously: "Of course, I will give you half of the spirit fish, so that even if the resources are less, we will not die because of resources, but you have to give me something."
While speaking, he was slowly approaching Xu Bai. Every time he took a step, the fat on his body shook, which looked like a huge mountain of meat rolling.
Xu Bai's eyes gradually became calm, and he asked, "What do you want?"
"Your bones!" Trevally licked his lips, eyes showing greed: "I tried, I tried many times, look at these things."
He turned around quickly, ran to a house, put his hands on the house, and the house collapsed in an instant under his support.
Trevally kept rummaging in the ruins, and he dug out the human skins one by one, and they fell to the ground.
He spoke in detail while showing it to Xu Bai.
"Look, these are the skins of ordinary people. After their bones are removed, there is no way to mend them with spiritual fish."
"I was thinking that if he is a professional, Lingyu can make up for him, so I have a perfect plan."
"You asked me to remove your bones. After I eat your bones, I will feed the spirit fish. When they are mature, we will be half of us, and your bones can also grow, so that we can cycle."
Trevally's eyes became more and more crazy, and his greed became more and more full.
Xu Bai looked at the human skins, there were hundreds of them, and his tone became cold: "Is this what you call non-cannibalism?"
I didn't expect such a dirty thing to be hidden in such a dilapidated house.
Compared to the old Taoist's straight-forward approach, the fat, ball-like trevally in front of him looked a little more sinister.
鲹 heard what Xu Bai said, shook his hand with fear on his face, and began to explain to Xu Bai.
"I didn't eat their meat, I didn't kill them, I just experimented with them.
"But the bodies of ordinary people are too fragile. After they died, I just fed them to the spirit fish.
"I even kept their skins and worshiped them with incense every day and night. If they knew that they could die to solve the resources, they must be very proud."
Xu Baidao: "Why don't you just solve it yourself, didn't you say let me help you?"
"No, no, no." Trevally said quickly, "I have a new method now, let's cooperate. As long as we cooperate, we can survive in this resource-depleted world."
He showed a flattering smile, as if asking Xu Bai to cooperate.
In those puddles, more and more Lingyu poked their heads out, and the cold light in Lingyu's eyes became more and more intense, as if they would jump out of the puddles in the next second and tear Xu Bai into pieces .
Xu Bai raised his right hand, gold and off-white were constantly intertwined behind him: "I think you'd better die."
After the words fell, the face of the originally flattering Trevally changed, becoming gloomy and weird, and his eyes turned into never-ending madness.
Trevally walked towards Xu Bai quickly, talking while walking.
"I gave you a chance, I gave you a chance to get rich together, but you don't want it, then don't blame me."
"I will tie you up, take your bones every day, and feed you with spirit fish."
"Don't worry, after you taste the benefits, you will thank me, because I let you live in this resource-depleted world, this is a great benefit!"
As the trevally moved forward, the spirit fish in those puddles finally moved.
Spiritual fishes jumped out of the puddle and traced a beautiful trajectory in mid-air, but they did not fall into the puddle again, but were frozen in mid-air like old photos.
"Baby, catch him, so you can eat too." Trevally turned his head and said to those spirit fish.
The words were only halfway through, because a terrifying light suddenly burst out not far in front of him.
The knife shines like the scorching sun, burning thousands of miles.
Golden and off-white, looming in the blade glow, the chaotic breath strengthened the horror of the blade glow.
Scorpion didn't even react, and was overwhelmed by the light of the knife.
There were no screams, not even cries of pain, everything was as plain as water.
In the light of the sword, the trevally turned into a piece of loess, and finally the loess turned into ashes and disappeared into the sky.
Xu Bai didn't stop, he turned his head, looked at the spirit fishes that were frozen in mid-air, and said slowly: "It turns out that you are the real Nian Shen."
In mid-air, the eyes of the Lingyu shone with a strange light. Following Xu Bai's turn, these fish soared into the sky, constantly blending in the sky.
Every fish collided with each other and turned into groups of dark red flesh and blood. These flesh and blood did not fall down, but fused continuously.
The fused flesh and blood formed a human body. From Xu Bai's perspective, this person is exactly the same as the trevally just now, except that there is no skin, and it is all flesh and fascia.
Lingyu Nianshen's eyes are devoid of any emotion, only a piece of madness that makes the hair stand on end, as if it wants to swallow all reason.
It raised its thick, fleshy, skinless palm, and slapped it down on Xu Bai viciously.
Behind Lingyu Nianshen is a huge mountain of human heads.
The human heads are one after the other, connected by bones, and each head has the same madness on its face.
They opened their mouths and let out a silent roar, following Lingyu Nianshen's palm, they pressed towards Xu Bai.
Flesh palm, head mountain.
When the two are combined, even with Xu Bai's current strength, he still feels a sense of oppression.
He did not take it lightly, he slowly raised his right hand and swiped across the sky.
Three unique swords - beheading!
One strike, the destructive power is astonishing, and the sky falls apart.
The ground was trembling, and the blade light reflected the entire night into day. In the blade light, the palm of Lingyu Nianshen was gradually turning into ashes, and the mountain of human heads that followed was firmly pressed down. .
Even if it was beheading, it only destroyed half of the head, and the remaining half slammed on Xu Bai's body with wailing and strangeness.
Xu Bai only felt that his whole body was under great pressure, and at the same time, his bones felt pain.
This mountain of human heads is drilling into his flesh and blood, and its purpose is to penetrate into his bones and eat his bones.
The pattern on the skin became brighter and brighter, and Rentou Mountain let out a tragic wailing sound, the more it penetrated into it, the more it gradually turned into ashes.
"Want to eat me, but you don't have the teeth."
Xu Bai's face was calm, but the true energy in his body was evaporating at an incredible speed as if being burned by the scorching sun.
He raised his right hand again, and slashed towards the mountain of human heads in front of him.
The bright blade glow reappeared, and the sky once again fell into whiteness.
The remaining mountain of human heads was gradually disappearing. After the last head disappeared, everything fell into a calm state. Under the moonlight, Xu Bai had his hands behind his back and his expression was indifferent.
He didn't take it lightly because he solved a big trouble, because there was a jingling sound next to his ear.
Turning his head, his eyes followed the direction of the voice, and he saw a dozen people walking slowly towards the gate.
The leader was dressed in white, holding a bell in his hand, shaking it while approaching.
They wear tall hats on their heads, and their faces are painted with red oil paint and patterns.
"Strange things happen one after another, it seems that they don't want me to rest." Xu Bai thought to himself.
He didn't put away Tianbian, didn't use the patterns on his body and cut people again, and the true energy in his body was recovering rapidly.
The current situation is that he is alone, and facing the mysterious Nian Shen, he must be vigilant.
The people who rang the bell formed a long line, and they didn't stop until they reached in front of Xu Bai.
At this time, Xu Bai realized that the people in front of him were different.
To be precise, except for the people who led the team at the beginning, there were paper people behind them.
The facial features are not painted on the paper figurine, the whole body is pale, and even the clothes are not painted on. It is a crudely made figure.
This kind of feeling makes people feel as if it was made in a hurry.
The only slightly delicate thing is that the faces of these paper figurines are all painted with strange oil paint patterns.
As the person leading the way at the front rang the bell, the group of paper figurines walked in unison, and they conveyed a cold feeling that made the hairs stand on end.
paper man?
Xu Bai immediately thought of the business of making paper. After all, catkins have an inseparable relationship with this business, so Xu Bai also knows something about this business.
"well…"
A faint sigh came from the mouth of the person who led the way at the beginning. He put away the bell, walked slowly in front of Xu Bai, and suddenly bent down.
"Thank you, brother, for completely freeing him."
White clothes and high hat, coupled with the bell on his hand and the pattern on his face, although this person is bending over Xu Bai, there is always an inexplicable sense of horror.
Xu Bai smiled and said, "Are you familiar with trevally?"
"Yes." The man in the white coat sighed: "To be precise, I am very familiar with everyone on this mountain."
"After they died, I was responsible for collecting their bodies. Unfortunately, I didn't receive them this time."
"Collect the corpses?" Xu Bai said indifferently: "Are you taking the initiative to collect the corpses for them, or are they passively collected by you?"
"Of course they are passive." The man in the white hat smiled and said, "I am a paper maker and also a corpse collector. If you die on this mountain, you must remember to call the corpse collector three words before you die. After death, it is also a good resource."
Xu Bai thought that there would be a fight next, but after the man in the white coat and hat finished speaking, he turned and left.
There was no fighting, not even conflict.
The man in the white coat and tall hat shook the bell and led the way in front, and the paper figures followed with stiff steps, drifting away...
Xu Bai's eyes fell on the last paper figurine, and he saw that there seemed to be a corpse shaking slightly in the translucent white paper.
He also learned a lot of novel things, and how could he fail to guess what the man in the white coat and hat was thinking.
"The corpse is also a kind of resource. After death, people put it in paper dolls and use it as a resource. This world has exhausted resources, but they are all struggling, and it's not just the way of cannibalism." Xu Bai thought in his heart.
The old Taoist priest I met first took the path of cannibalism, the trevally I met the second followed the routine of raising fish, and the third corpse collector was specialized in dealing with corpses.
When a world is gradually coming to an end, human beings, as the primates of all things in this world, must survive in the cracks, and these countless ways of survival are born, although they are cruel and disgusting.
Xu Bai didn't stop this person, because he felt a huge pressure on this person. This person's strength is definitely not low, on the contrary, he is stronger than the person he killed just now.
He's not unsure, he just doesn't want to waste time in combat, his goal is the progress bar.
"Look for it first and see if there is anything good here."
Thinking about this, Xu Bai stopped thinking, turned around and searched in various rooms. After about a stick of incense, Xu Bai walked out of a dilapidated house with a book in his hand.
There are words printed on the book, but he can't understand the words written on it. After all, this is the handwriting of the period when all nations were fighting for hegemony, so it's normal for him not to understand.
But it doesn't matter at all, because there is a progress bar on it, that's enough.
There is a progress bar to prove that it can be used, and those who can use the progress bar are all good things.
"Finally it's a bit of a harvest." Xu Bai put the book in his arms, took another look at the surrounding night, and at the same time looked up at the moon in the sky.
The moon was still hanging in its original position without any change. As he thought, all time was frozen.
But they were able to move freely in this fixed time. This weird feeling made him a little puzzled.
"Let's finish exploring this mountain."
Now, he has only reached halfway up the mountain, and there is still half of the journey that has not been explored. What he thinks now is to explore this mountain first, and then go to another place.
Thinking of this, Xu Bai didn't stay any longer, and walked towards a position.
Follow this mountain road and go straight up. There is no danger along the way.
After walking for about half an hour, Xu Bai stopped, looked at the mountain road ahead, and frowned tightly.
The mountain road not far ahead looks no different from the usual mountain road, but if you look to both sides, you will find two rows of candles on both sides of the mountain road.
The candle has been lit, bringing the only warmth in the dark environment, but this warmth is shrouded in darkness.
The darkness is warm, with a hint of gloom.
"What kind of way to live?" Xu Bai became interested.
The first one is eating people, the second is raising fish, and the third is collecting corpses. Now he really wants to know what the fourth one is.
With such an interest, Xu Bai unfolded his soul.
The soul began to spread continuously, walking up this mountain road.
Under the induction of the soul, Xu Bai saw that the mountain road was full of candles.
Not only that, this candle burns very slowly, and the body of the candle seems to be made of an unknown material, which is very resistant to burning.
Shenhun went straight along this mountain road, and finally, the candles in front gradually became less and less, and at the end of the candles, it turned out to be a lonely grave.
It is indeed a solitary tomb. There is nothing outside the solitary tomb, and there are no other cemeteries around it.
"Interesting, if you don't have a house, bring me a lonely grave. I want to see what is there."
Xu Bai raised his foot and slowly stepped into the mountain road with candles on both sides. As he stepped out with his first foot, the surrounding candles flickered for a while, and several candles were almost blown out by the blowing wind.
Fortunately, the candle's flame was very tenacious, and it slowly returned to normal. Xu Bai walked up step by step. Nothing happened along the way, and he came to the lonely grave smoothly.
There is only one solitary tomb, surrounded by empty mountains and wild mountains, and in front of the solitary tomb, there is a monument with no words on it, and only dried black blood.
"A monument without words, a lonely tomb in the wilderness, who is buried here?"
Xu Bai didn't feel the danger coming, he even felt that this place gave him a sense of security.
This inexplicable sense of security seems very weird, as if you are in a dangerous world, and a weird thing can bring you a sense of security, which will make this weirdness even deeper.
"Why don't you dig it open?" Xu Bai had a bold idea and wanted to try it.
There are no words on this monument, and there is no progress bar, otherwise Xu Bai would even dare to carry this monument away.
After this idea appeared, Xu Bai couldn't control it anymore.
Anyway, he was still in the ruins, so he didn't pay much attention to it, and just did what he said.
He raised his hand and flicked his fingers slightly.
The next moment, a burst of sword light flashed, and this lonely grave was directly blown into ashes all over the sky.
When the solitary tomb in front of him was blasted, there was a fine coffin under the solitary tomb.
Even if it is covered with soil, it can be seen through the gaps in the soil. The material of the pitch-black coffin is quite high-quality.
Until the solitary tomb in front of him was blown apart, there was still nothing abnormal, and he didn’t even feel a trace of coldness. This feeling seemed to be really a safe house.
"excuse me."
In any case, it was still a grave-digging business, so Xu Bai said his goodbyes before doing it.
With a random push in the air, the coffin lid of the coffin in front of him flew up and landed heavily on the ground.
At this time, Xu Bai finally saw what was inside the coffin.
In the coffin, lay a dead bone wearing a Taoist robe. The material of the Taoist robe must be excellent, because there are no traces of decay, but the body is only left with dry bones, which proves that it has been buried here for a long time.
The two arms of the dry bone are tightly intertwined, overlapping at the lower abdomen, and a letter can be seen through the gap between the hand bones.
Xu Bai stroked his chin, finally reached out his hand, and picked up the letter.
He was very vigilant during this process. He thought that some weird things would happen, but everything was as usual, and nothing happened.
The material of the letter is obviously very good, even after such a long time, it hasn't been damaged in the slightest, at most it has only turned yellow.
Xu Bai confessed again, and then opened the letter paper.
"I'm so stupid, I don't know the characters of this period." After Xu Bai opened the letter, he remembered the characters of this period, which are already very ancient.
He was about to put the letter back, but unexpectedly, when he saw the incomprehensible words on the letter, he suddenly became fascinated.
These words seemed to be spiritual, echoing directly in his soul, allowing him to understand.
To be precise, he still can't understand it, but the text seems to be conveyed directly from the soul, and it can convey the original meaning.
"What a clever method, this person must be a master of the soul when he is alive."
Xu Bai sighed in his heart, closed his eyes, and felt the information in his mind.
Lines of text emerged, gradually became clear, and became words he could understand...
【I am the princess of Shiguo, and I have learned the concept of three lives since I was a child. If the latter sees the letter, it proves that the two of us are destined. 】
"Princess Shiguo?" Xu Bai scratched his head.
He has never heard of the name of this country. Now that he thinks about it, it should be a country in the period of the struggle for hegemony. By now, it is estimated that it has long been submerged in the wheel of history.
It is a bit desolate that a princess of a dignified generation is buried in this place, and there is only one solitary grave.
When an era comes to an end, no matter what your identity is, there will only be such a lonely grave left.
With such a mood, he couldn't help feeling a little emotional, so he continued to read.
【The world has undergone great changes, resources have been exhausted, and nations are vying for hegemony. It is unexpected that I have experienced such a magnificent thing in my short life. 】
【There are many geniuses, and there are many who amaze the world, but no one can compete with the world, from a prosperous age to the end of the world. 】
【I witnessed countless killings, countless purgatory on earth, and suddenly felt deeply powerless. 】
【I'm dying, but I don't want to do anything to hurt others. If people just want to live, they hurt their own kind, no different from wild beasts. 】
【I will bury myself here, cut off all vitality, and at the same time set up an array of candles that will never be extinguished. 】
【The national teacher once told me before he went crazy that if someone can break through the candlelight formation, he is my destined person. I don’t know what a destined person is, but I am already dead. 】
【Perhaps, the predestined person can only get one skeleton. 】
Candle array?
Destined person?
Xu Bai couldn't help but think of the two rows of candles he met on the mountain road.
Is that a formation?
He felt that there was no obstacle at all along the way. Could it be that it took too long, so the effect disappeared?
He doesn't believe in any predestined people. After being dead for so long, no matter how predestined this princess is, she is just a bone.
"Sigh, it's a pity to be the princess of a country." Xu Bai sighed again.
The content of the letter is not finished yet, it is still going on.
【I am a teacher of the Three Lives Concept and learned the Three Lives Dao Formation. I was fortunate enough to use this form to see the future. 】
【In the future, there will be a young man who will come to my grave. The young man is wearing armor and Taoist robes. 】
【He is the destination of everything and the beginning of everything. At that time, I felt that maybe he is the existence that can solve the exhaustion of resources. 】
【But I later learned that he was not, at least he was not from our time. 】
【I am going to die soon, but I very much hope that he can come, at least to prove to the world that I am right. 】
…
At this point, the content of the letter is gone.
Although there are not many words on it, a picture has already been drawn in Xu Bai's mind.
The world has changed drastically, resources have been exhausted, and everything has fallen into purgatory on earth.
Princess Shiguo died here, buried herself, and at the same time set up a candle array, leaving this letter.
These are not the most important, the important thing is that the book mentions the man wearing the armor and the Taoist robe inside.
Xu Bai lowered his head, looking at his outfit, the corners of his mouth twitched slightly.
"Could it be possible that I am this predestined person?"
It is obvious that it is him.
After all, he is the only one with this attire, and the above mentions the future, and even more, he is not a character from the period of the World War for Hegemony.
There is no one else but him.
After thinking for a while, Xu Bai put the letter back into the coffin.
Then, Xu Bai said six words in a very calm tone.
"Really? I don't believe it."
After these six words were spoken, the surrounding candles suddenly flickered and became extremely dim, but soon returned to normal.
Xu Bai continued talking...
"What kind of **** is predestined, when you invaded my soul and told me the contents of this letter, I discovered that you were alive."
"If I don't have the skills of the soul, maybe I have already fallen into your way."
"Let me think about it carefully. When did it start? It should have started when I stepped on this mountain road with candles on both sides."
"Since then, you have influenced my soul. If I believe it, will I be dragged into the coffin by you next?"
As he uttered every sentence, the light of the candle flickered faster and faster.
When the last sentence was finished, the surrounding candles suddenly went out.
Xu Bai turned his head and looked at the mountain road behind him. The mountain road with two rows of candles was now completely dark.
Behind him, a gust of wind suddenly blew, and Xu Bai felt goosebumps on the back of his neck.
