Chapter 1089 The Thief Shouts to Catch the Thief
The Xuanzheng Hall was filled with a stench of blood. The beams, pillars and walls of the hall were covered with splashes of plasma and flesh. The blood gathered on the ground to form a puddle. The blood puddle was soaked with the chopped off demon limbs, as well as piles of colorful , the organs flowing out from the body cavity of the demon that was cut open.
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor was sitting slumped on the steps in front of the throne. Just now, all the civil and military members of the dynasty who had been enthroned by her for less than two days were killed, and not even one escaped.
During the court meeting, there were more than 200 monsters in the hall. During the court meeting, everyone was lively and laughing about food topics. Now there are only four monsters left, and the rest have turned into fragmented corpses.
Apart from her and the little snake spirit wrapped around the Jiujianxian's waist, the only remaining demons left were her children, the Demonic Sisters and the Heavenly Demonic Emperor. The brother and sister were hugging each other and trembling, for fear of being killed. The strong men of the human race who looked at them conveniently killed them.
Luo Feng didn't just say that he wanted to kill a group of monsters that had eaten human flesh. After discussing with Jiujianxian, the two of them took the lead in the next moment, leading Li Xiaoyao and Jing Xiaolou to kill indiscriminately in the palace, squatting and squatting. Even the wolf monster guarding the door was spared.
These monsters did not die unjustly. They were able to gather around the Heavenly Ghost Emperor. Naturally, they were all quite powerful. They were great monsters with some status among the monsters and were among the high-ranking officials among the monsters. They took advantage of the captured humans first, and every one of them Every demon has eaten at least one person.
Luo Feng killed them to silence them. They all saw the pitiful appearance of the Ghost Emperor kneeling down to Luo Feng, praying for his life. If word spread, some monsters with a little better brains would definitely notice that the situation was not good. Then inciting other monsters to flee Chang'an.
After strangling the last tiger monster to death, Luo Feng dropped the body and walked through the bloody water towards Sister Mei and Emperor Tianshi who were hugging each other.
At this time, Luo Feng's monk's robes were stained with demon blood, and his whole body was covered with a black aura, which was formed by the souls of the demons he had strangled to death. His whole person looked murderous, like a murderous god. .
This murderous god approached the little brother and sister. They were so frightened that they thought he was going to kill them, so their bodies shook even more violently.
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor rushed over, ignoring the blood on the ground, and knelt at Luo Feng's feet, crying and begging: "Please, don't kill them, they are still children!"
Luo Feng didn't care about those who had or didn't, and ignored her. He narrowed his eyes and looked back and forth at Mei Mei and Tianzhu Huang.
After staring for a moment, Luo Feng came closer and twitched his nose and sniffed. While sniffing the sister, he showed a faint smile.
"You...what do you want to do..."
Mei Mei was a cute girl with twin tails. He came closer and sniffed her. She felt bored but did not dare to rebuke, so she just trembled weakly.
"It tastes pretty good."
Luo Feng responded casually, and the Ghost Emperor's face suddenly turned pale. He tried his best to smile and said in a trembling voice: "Zen Master...she is still young and doesn't understand anything. What you want to do is up to me. ……Let me do it."
Luo Feng frowned and scolded: "What are you thinking! The poor monk is saying that your son and daughter have never eaten human flesh, and they don't smell bad! Look at you, you don't know how many people you have eaten, and there is no rancid smell on your body. Damn it! They are not on the killing list, but you are on the killing list!"
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor shrank his neck and realized that he had made a mistake. He said, "Don't kill me either. I am willing to work hard for the Zen Master. I can do anything you ask me to do."
"you?"
Luo Feng curled his lips in disgust and said: "There is a fragment of cannibalism in the gene, and it is not even qualified to breed and have children. What is the value of being a cow or a horse?"
The Heavenly Ghost Emperor quickly defended: "I am not born to like eating people. In fact, I don't like the taste of human flesh at all. I hold my nose and forcefully eat it every time."
"Oh?" Luo Feng suddenly became interested and asked: "Don't monsters eat people because of their nature? I thought it was genetically determined."
The Ghost King said aggrievedly: "I cannibalize people because I was deceived. When I was imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower, I heard rumors that as long as you eat a thousand demons or a hundred people, you can gain the power to break the seal. Now. Think about it, this rumor is probably spread deliberately by the Shushan Sect in order to deceive us demons imprisoned in the tower into cannibalizing each other and reducing our numbers."
Speaking of this, she whispered: "After Chang'an City was conquered, new rumors emerged, saying that eating rich and noble humans would bring blessings to the eaten... It was also said that high-ranking officials were pampered and the meat tasted delicious. It's great, but it actually has no effect at all after eating it. The fat meat is also very greasy and unpalatable. That's why we held a meeting to discuss how to cook it so that the taste can barely be eaten."
The Jiujianxian wiped off the demon blood on his body and walked over. When he heard the words of the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, he said: "So, the demon eats people wantonly because they believe the rumors? Master Luo, you have created this rumor." What a sin!"
"Bah, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't talk nonsense! What evidence do you have to prove that the rumor was started by a poor monk?"
Luo Feng categorically denied: "The poor monk made an agreement with the Heavenly Ghost Emperor, and the content was just to exchange Kong Lu's head for the demon army not to eat the common people. Who knew that the demons found another way and believed in the rumors of a wicked ghost, and they should be eaten You are a wealthy man. But you, the Shushan Sect, are also suspected of spreading rumors in the Monster Locking Tower. Those monsters that escaped from the tower are eating people randomly because they were influenced by the rumors. You, the Shushan Sect, are the initiators!"
The Jiujianxian never expected that Luo Feng would turn the tables and blame the Shushan sect for the origin of the rumors of cannibalism. He was immediately choked and speechless.
Why do monsters eat people?
This question is complicated. There are indeed some monsters that have cannibalism in their genes, as Luo Feng inferred, such as some mantids, spider spirits, jackals, rocs, and peacock monsters. Humans have been included in the hunting diet since they were born, and they must eat humans to obtain the nutrients necessary for growth.
There are also some monsters that eat humans because there is a lack of food. There are few animals in the Central Plains, but humans are the most numerous and easy to catch, so they naturally choose humans as supplementary food.
Finally, there are monsters who believed in rumors and believed that cannibalism can nourish the kidneys and strengthen yang. Although there is no scientific principle or practical effect, there are still fools who are willing to believe it. The Demon Emperor is one of the best. Because he listened to the rumors, he has been killed for days. The ghost clan eats all the same kind, let alone a few people who eat it occasionally for a taste.
The rumors that cannibalism can replenish the kidneys and strengthen yang, just like the rumors that eating the meat of Tang Monk can lead to immortality, have very suspicious origins.
If research is conducted carefully, the originator of the rumor of eating Tang Monk's flesh to achieve immortality is likely to be Heaven or Buddhism. Heaven wants to disrupt Buddhism's plan to obtain scriptures, while Buddhism wants to make it difficult to make up the number of ninety-nine and eighty-one. Both have motives for committing crimes.
The rumor of cannibalism in the Fairy Sword World originates in the Demon Locking Tower. The Demon Locking Tower has been under the complete control of the Shushan Sect since five hundred years ago. They fabricated the rumor that one can break out of the tower by eating a thousand demons. For The demons imprisoned in the Demon Locking Tower are of no benefit, but are greatly beneficial to the Shushan Sect in controlling the population of demons.
With such a mess, the Shushan sect seemed very suspicious. Although Jiu Jianxian didn't know the truth, he was a little suspicious that it might be caused by a certain senior leader.
What is even more suspicious is that the rumor of eating a thousand monsters and the rumor of eating a hundred humans were spread at the same time. On the one hand, they lured the monsters to devour themselves. On the other hand, they seemed to be deliberately deceiving the monsters to do evil in the world, exacerbating the conflict between the monsters and the human race. , causing the two sides to kill each other, and certain forces can mediate in the middle. When the demons become stronger, they help the humans, and when the humans become stronger, they help the demons and reap the benefits.
Something goes wrong in the Demon Locking Tower every few years, and a group of demons will always escape from it. These demons will spread the rumors heard in the tower to the outside world, and then gradually a situation will be formed where demons generally hunt humans.
Luo Feng dispelled this suspicion, and Jiujianxian felt guilty and did not dare to answer, fearing that he would get to the bottom of the matter and dig out some evidence such as stone tablets from the Demon Locking Tower, so he could only remain silent and no longer pursue the case. Who spread the rumor that wealthy people are more aphrodisiac?
