The master of metaphysics is a cat slave

Mu Liuyun was not surprised when he heard this answer, but asked, "How did you die?"

"I heard that he died of illness. That person was buried in the mountain, do you want to go and see it?" Xia Anhe suggested kindly, "Or, do you want to meet his relatives? But I'm not sure if they want to bring this up again One thing, when I asked, they were very vague."

"No need, wait for the sacrifice tonight." Mu Liuyun sighed lightly,

Although he was unwilling to accept it, the death of the suspect was expected, and it might be the other party's carelessness that allowed them to find this place.

The person hiding behind the scenes doesn't have to do it himself, and the underlings who show their faces are likely to throw it away when they run out.If the other party was determined not to let him know the identity of the person with the totem on his wrist, it would be useless for him to ask clearly now.

Nor can he slaughter the village viciously and force the other party to hand him over.It is a violation of the norms to be tortured into a trick, not to mention that the current evidence is not sufficient, and he has also discovered some other things.

The gift that Xia Anhe just received happened to be a local specialty snack.Bai Jian smelled it before opening the box, and when she really opened the box, her saliva almost flowed down.

Lian Yi looked at him resentfully, stomping on the ground with her little paws, making a low whining sound.Bai Jian was terrified when she heard that, so she set aside some for him: "Let's eat together."

"Even if you share it with me now, I won't forget that she chose you out of the two of us." Lian Yi said faintly, "I'm very sad."

He leaned against German Shepherd, looking weak and pitiful when the wind blows.

The little girl saw the two cats fighting for her. She was sweet and worried. Like a little adult, she waved her hand to stop the two cats, put her hands on her hips and began to teach: "Don't quarrel over such trivial matters. There is still plenty to eat. Everyone have."

She really ran to the side and asked someone to get other food, her demeanor looked matured differently from her age.

Mu Liuyun seemed to have sensed something, and when she came back, he asked, "Where is your patriarch...or the highest-ranking person in the clan?"

The little girl blinked ignorantly, tilted her head and thought for a while, and asked puzzledly, "It's right in front of you."

"you?"

"Yeah." The little girl smiled innocently, but her tone was very natural, and there was a bit of authority in her eyes, "I don't look like it?"

But her usual speech and behavior are too childlike, making it difficult for people to see if it is a joke for a while.

Seeing that Mu Liuyun did not speak, she pouted dissatisfiedly: "Otherwise, how do you think you are sitting here safely?"

If it wasn't for her group, they would have been kicked out a long time ago, how could they still have the opportunity to sit here and eat, the elder sisters in the clan would have kicked them out long ago.

"Then you still 'tricked' us in the first place?"

"I said it was just a joke..." The little girl's voice became lower and lower, "I don't really want to embarrass you, it's just... I just want to play with you."

Bai Jian had a headache for a while: "Then can't you have fun?"

The little girl burst into tears all of a sudden: "Brother Cat, don't be angry, I was wrong. Woo..."

Bai Jian couldn't stand a child crying the most, so she immediately changed her face and began to comfort her, pushing Mei Short in front of her to put on a cute pose.

Mu Liuyun asked Xia Anhe in a low voice: "Do you believe what she said?"

"Didn't you already have an idea?" Xia Anhe smiled meaningfully, stroking the puppet cat's hair calmly and gently, "This kind of thing, whether you believe it or not will not affect the truth. I think the truth is the truth." It's what you want to pursue."

His attitude was as calm as if he was discussing what to have for dinner, and even the cat's dinner aroused his emotions more than this.

He was right.It is difficult to change what Mu Liuyun believes. Now that he asks about it, he just wants to hear other people's thoughts, for fear that he may not think carefully.

Wei Qiuye was very straightforward, and lazily said: "You're a liar, she didn't look right just now."

He turned over in Xia Anhe's arms, looked up at him, his blue eyes were filled with rare tenderness: "But sometimes it's not a bad thing to believe a lie."

"A good lie can make you happy. Even if I know it's a lie, I still like to listen to good words." He touched Xia Anhe's chin with his front paw, narrowed his eyes slightly, and waited for Xia Anhe to lower his head. He kissed him, hooked his paws around his neckline, and meowed softly a few times, seeming very happy.

Mu Liuyun turned a blind eye to the loving behavior of one person and one cat, and still insisted on the principle: "But false things will be exposed one day. It's like those people who use Gu insects to achieve their wishes...they can't change anything, In the end, he lost his life.”

"A moment of happiness is always better than a long period of pain. Living in pain and prolonging the pain indefinitely is the most desperate thing." Wei Qiuye glanced at him, "Even if it is true, there is another What's the use? Human beings are so greedy, they will have new desires when they are satisfied, so it's better to cheat."

Mu Liuyun pursed his lips, and the topic suddenly took a big turn: "Is this why the auction came about?"

"You have to ask the founder of the auction. No one knows why it was born." Wei Qiuye didn't want to say more, grabbed Xia Anhe's neckline, sniffed the scent of his neck carefully, softly Ask, "What's for dinner?"

He, Xia An and the surroundings seemed to form a natural shielding wall, separating everyone else.

Regardless of whether the little girl lied or not, the remaining half of the day finally passed safely.

The little girl disappeared at dinner time, saying that she was going to make preparations.

At about eight o'clock in the evening, someone came to take them to the place of worship.

The sacrifice is mysterious, and it is not much different from what I imagined. It is just some special dances and rituals, and offering sacrifices.

The sacrifice looked human from the outside, but exuded a strong smell of blood, as if it had been newly cut and re-stitched human skin.Mu Liuyun guessed that this person should have had the same experience as Liu Yi before.

But the real sacrifice is definitely not a doll-like person.The corpse that was put up was only part of the ceremony.

The real sacrifice, the Spirit Tree has already accepted it.

The little girl seemed to be taking on important responsibilities in the ceremony, and her eyebrows and eyes had a different look than usual. People couldn't help but believe that her eyes had the power to read people's hearts.

The tree suddenly appeared in front of everyone, and the dense shade covered the moonlight, making the lights under the tree more precious and bright.

The branches stretched sideways, almost without end.It seems that the leaves are too heavy, and the treetops hang down and curl, like a pair of hands stretched out to the people under the tree.

Mu Liuyun suddenly found out that he was the only one left under the tree.

The branches were as soft as a piece of silk cloth, wrapping around his body, the cold touch clinging to the skin without a single gap.

The vague voice finally became clear, but what he heard was beyond his imagination.

What the tree said was, "Please help me."

Spirit Tree slowly told what happened to him.

It has existed here for thousands of years, it devours people's greed, and it also induces people's greed.It itself is Gu.

People in the village believe in its power, and it also bestows special abilities on the people in the village.It's just that the people in the village have always abided by the rules and acted cautiously, so that the Gu worms did not flood.

However, with the increase in communication between the village and the outside world, many people came here admiringly, looking for the secrets about Gu worms.Some of them inevitably have evil intentions, such as Liu Yi and others, once they gain power, they can't help but act recklessly.

The tree didn't mind expanding its followers, but it found that the people who stole the power were not small, even beyond its control.

Mu Liuyun originally thought that those vague voices before were the bewitching words of the tree.Thinking about it now, it might be the tree's weak call for help.

The imagined behind-the-scenes force suddenly became the new rescuer.

But he did not forget what the villagers did when he first entered the village.

He certainly didn't believe the little girl's "prank" theory.People in the village would do this, obviously under the instigation of some kind of force.

The highest ruling will in the clan has never been a person, but a tree.

"I need to find out if you guys can help me. Sorry to make you feel bad."

"You mean, that's just a test for us?"

The tree replied firmly: "Yes."

Mu Liuyun was noncommittal, and continued to ask: "How do you need me to help you?"

"I hope they don't appear again." The tree's voice was not cold, and even gentle, but it sounded creepy.

"Didn't you lure them here?" Mu Liuyun's voice was equally cold.

The tree was silent for a long time: "They already have greed."

But he also acquiesced, he induced those people.

"You can't say that a beautiful flower is picked because it's its fault. It's not picked because it's beautiful, but because the picker likes its beauty. It's in his heart It is only with that desire that you come to me.”

"No, there is a big difference. A flower is picked simply because it is beautiful, and it is not the same as a flower saying to someone, 'I am beautiful, come and pick me'."

The branch that was originally wrapped around Mu Liuyun's body seemed to be cut off by a sharp knife, and fell to the ground rustlingly.The branches that had been stretched out towards him quickly retreated, as if they were afraid of something.

The words of the tree must be concealed.From its previous behavior, it can be seen that it originally acquiesced in the behavior of those people - even deliberately guided them.

Only then it got out of hand.

"Can you tell me who those people are?"

The tree was not angry, and replied calmly: "I don't know them, but their smell...is somewhat similar to your friends."

"Cat smell?"

"The smell of a cat?" The branch tilted to one side, and the tree seemed to tilt its head thinking, "Maybe."

The tree's voice was sincere: "I don't know what the smell of a cat is. But I hope you can help me. For this, I can give you some presents."

The branch in Mu Liuyun's arms began to feel faintly hot. As soon as he took it out, he found that the tightly closed petals began to bloom slowly.

He put the branch back again, and even added a few seals to wrap the branch so tightly that not even a petal leaked out.

Finally, Shu couldn't keep his voice calm: "Aren't you even willing to accept gifts?"

"I think you have misunderstood. It is my duty to solve these kinds of things. I will definitely be responsible for solving these things. You don't need to give any 'gifts'."

He also didn't want to give the tree any chance to bewitch him.

The tree was silent for a long time, and the dense branches and leaves began to shrink.

He regressed.
