As soon as he said this, the scene fell into a strange silence. A cold wind suddenly blew around them. The candles on the table swayed, causing the light and shadow to intertwine.
In the light and shadow, Xu Bai saw that the old Taoist priest’s face became more and more sinister.
His eyes, in particular, no longer had the sage-like air of a sage. Instead, they emitted a cold light that sent chills down one’s spine.
In the light and shadow, Xu Bai picked up the bones with his chopsticks. They looked like human fingers, and the flesh on them was mixed with tendons and bones.
Xu Bai did not move. After asking this question, he looked straight at the old Taoist priest in front of him, but his eyes became colder and colder. What bullsh * t pig’s tail bone? The number of people who had died in his hands was as many as the hair on an ox. How could it not recognize this? This was obviously a human finger that had been smoked into bacon by this old Taoist priest.
Recalling the old cured meat that the old Taoist priest had hung in the backyard, Xu Bai knew who the cured meat belonged to.
The old Taoist priest didn’t say a word. He stared coldly at the chopsticks in Xu Bai’s hand.
After a long time, he finally spoke slowly.
“Of course it’s human. Haven’t people like Blessing Master eaten it before?”
It was just a simple question, but the tone of the question was unusually calm. Coupled with the bone in Xu Bai’s hand, it seemed a little strange.
“A person in the industry? Have you eaten before?”
Xu Bai was sure that the old Taoist priest had not turned into a Mindfulness God yet. Otherwise, he would not be able to communicate with him.
But why did he say such a shocking sentence in such a calm tone?
“Do people in the industry have to eat these?”Xu Bai narrowed his eyes.
The old Taoist priest picked up his chopsticks and dug out a bone from the pile of meat dishes. He put it in his mouth and kept sucking.
His cheeks were puffed up, and with his old face, he looked like an agile old monkey.
“How can we live if we don’t eat? Blessing Lord, hurry up and eat. After you’re done eating, rest early.”
“Ever since the great change in the world, the same kind is also a kind of resource.”
“I saw that Lord Blessing is a person in the industry, so I took out these good things for you to eat.”
Every sentence was as calm as water, but the content of each sentence was shocking.
Xu Bai put down his chopsticks and shook his not hungry.”
A gust of cold wind blew past again. Xu Bai felt that someone was looking at him. When he turned around, he saw an empty backyard, but he was looking in the direction of the hall.
“It’s that statue.”
The feeling of being stared at was the same as the one he felt at the statue. Xu Bai guessed that it had something to do with the statue.
Did the old Taoist priest not feel anything?
It was too strange.
Seeing that Xu Bai was not eating, the old Taoist priest brought the meat dish in front of him and ate it bit by bit.
As he ate, he spoke vaguely.
“It seems that Lord Fu’s life in the past was tough enough. He couldn’t even bear to eat these good things in front of him.”
Xu Bai smiled.” Since it’s a good thing, the Abbey Dean is willing to share it with him. It seems that he’s a generous person.”‘
He suddenly had a guess. This time period seemed to be at the end of the time period of the world’s hegemony.
When the ruins appeared, it included all the scenes at that time. Some were in front, some were behind, and no one could say for sure.
The most important point that the old Taoist priest mentioned just now was that some people seemed to treat their own kind as resources. Resources were almost exhausted, and cannibalism was a living hell.
Xu Bai pictured this scene in his mind.
A plate full of meat was poured into the old Taoist priest’s mouth in just a few mouthfuls. He chewed it randomly, not even letting go of the bones inside.
Cracking sounds could be heard in the gloomy environment.
The old Taoist wiped his oily mouth with his hand.”Of course, I am a kind person, but this meal is not free. Blessing Lord, if you don’t eat meat dishes, you should eat more vegetables. Eat more so that you can be fair and fat.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the old Taoist priest’s expression changed.
His oily mouth slowly opened, from the corner of his mouth to his ears. His mouth was filled with sharp teeth.
Behind the old Taoist priest, two black shadows suddenly stretched out. The shadows kept twisting and turning into a bloody mouth, showing off in the air.
“If you don’t eat, how can you be so fat? This Penniless Priest doesn’t have much food left, and it’s not easy to see meat.”
“Hurry up and eat. This Penniless Priest must take good care of you so that your meat won’t be dry.”
“Eat, eat, eat more!”
The old Taoist priest mumbled as he put all the vegetables on a plate and brought it to Xu Bai.
He stood up, and the long mouth formed by black shadows behind him opened again. A stench came from inside.
Xu Bai looked at the disgusting food in front of him and then at the long mouth. On the surface of the black shadow, he saw human faces.
These faces were imprinted with pain and despair. They tried their best to break free from the black shadow and pull out black threads, but they could not break free.
“You’ve eaten these before, haven’t you?” Xu Bai raised his eyebrows.” The old Taoist priest lifted his robe and revealed his crippled left leg.
“You eat me, and I eat you. Isn’t that normal? Look at this leg, it was eaten by my master. Unfortunately, I ate him before he ate me..”
