"This guy can still talk?" Baimugui suddenly spoke and startled us, and I almost cut him down.
"He said he is also a human being?" Neji frowned and asked in confusion, "I don't think he looks like a human being. Are you trying to lie to us?"
"Don't talk about it yet." Yamato waved his hand, "Since this guy can be resurrected, why should he surrender and be so afraid that we will kill him? Wouldn't killing him just facilitate his resurrection?"
"I think...since he needs to consume one eye for each resurrection, if it is not replenished, the eye will eventually be used up one day." I touched my chin and analyzed, "Look, even his own eyes are closed. One, does it mean that of all the eyes in his body, the only one left is the swollen right eye. If he is resurrected again, he will probably become blind. Am I right? Hundred-eyed ghost? "
"Yes...you...guess...that's right..." Baimu Gui then said in his strange tone.
"Speak to me properly, and if you stutter again, I will chop you up." I really couldn't stand his sinister tone, so I put Qingfeng on his neck and threatened, "Since you say you are human , then prove it to me."
"I...I...I...said...just...this way..." Baimu Gui looked very nervous, but also helpless, "Don't...kill... ………I…………"
"Heiyin, I don't think he's lying. Maybe that's what he sounds like when he speaks." Yamato patted me on the shoulder, "Don't dwell on this matter. Let's ask about him first. After all, He has lived for a thousand years and must know a lot of secrets."
"Yes, be honest and tell us everything you know. If you lie to us, you can imagine the consequences." Takamatsuhara threatened sternly, "If you cooperate well with us, we will spare your life."
Then, with Baimugui's stammering narration and our questioning, it took several hours to roughly figure out the ins and outs of everything.
It turns out that the Hundred-Eyed Ghost was also an ordinary human being at the beginning, and lived in a village. The land where this village is located is very barren, and famines often occur, and people starve to death. And there is a kappa in the river outside the village, who is regarded as a god by the villagers. The kappa often requires local villagers to sacrifice children for him to eat, otherwise it will bring disaster to the village. Therefore, every year the village will select children under the age of twelve and throw them into the river to sacrifice to the kappa. The hundred-eyed ghost is the selected unfortunate one. But the sad thing is that everyone, including Baimugui's parents, are proud of him. Baimugui was already ten years old that year, so he had the ability to distinguish right from wrong, but his own strength was too weak and he could not fight against the villagers. .So he pretended to be happy to be used as a sacrifice, and secretly carried a dagger the night before the sacrifice.
The next day, when the villagers tied up the Hundred-Eyed Ghost and threw it into the river, the Hundred-Eyed Ghost was dragged into a cave by the kappa and prepared to eat him. However, he had actually cut the rope with a dagger, and when the kappa was careless, he suddenly burst out and stabbed him. The kappa died. After stabbing the kappa to death, the Hundred-Eyed Ghost looked at the corpse of the kappa and fell into deep thought. Because of the famine in the village, each household had very limited food. They could barely survive without eating enough. They were all sallow and thin. The Hundred-Eyed Ghost He had never eaten meat before. So, he gritted his teeth and killed the kappa. Since there was no fire source, he ate the kappa's meat raw. He had never eaten meat before. From then on, he I became addicted to eating raw meat. This kappa didn't have much meat, so the meat was quickly devoured by the hungry Baimugui. Not long after, Baimugui's stomach hurt sharply. It turned out that the kappa's meat was poisonous. However, , it’s not bad to be a dead ghost. Just like that, Baimugui was unconscious in the kappa’s cave for three days. After waking up, Baimugui found that his skin had turned into that of a kappa, and his teeth and nails had become sharper. The scary thing is that a third eye actually grew on his forehead. Although he was shocked, Baimugui was glad that he survived, and after all, he was only ten years old at the time, so he didn't think much about it and went back directly. In the village.
When he returned to the village, he shocked the villagers because he looked exactly like a kappa. However, after his explanation, the villagers finally understood the truth. At this time, the people in the village had no idea about the Hundred-Eyed Ghost.
There were differences in the handling. Some people felt that the Hundred-Eyed Ghost had made a great contribution by getting rid of the Kappa. He was a great hero in the village and should receive preferential treatment. However, more people felt that the Kappa was the protector of the village. The Hundred-Eyed Ghost had killed the Kappa.
Eating his meat would be disrespectful to the gods and would bring disaster to the village, so he should be burned to death. The two groups insisted on their own opinions, but the discussion could not come to an end. In the end, both parties compromised and decided to temporarily let the hundred-eyed ghost live in the village.
Observe the aftereffects.
Unexpectedly, things went well in the village in the following years, and everyone gradually forgot about the Hundred-Eyed Ghost and the Kappa. The Hundred-Eyed Ghost also tied the eyes on his forehead with cloth and became an ordinary villager. Unexpectedly, ten years later, something happened
There was a drought, there was no harvest, and the villagers fell into famine. Originally it was nothing, but I don’t know who took the initiative, dug up the old things from ten years ago, and began to blame the Hundred Eyed Ghost, and blamed the drought on the Hundred Eyed Ghost.
, it was precisely because he ate the kappa that God punished him, so he asked the hundred-eyed ghost to be burned to death and the food in his family divided. Naturally, the villagers were not all fools, there were also sensible people who refuted the nonsense of those people.
.So, in order to survive, the village once again split into two factions and started fighting with each other. Village wars were a very common thing at that time.
As for Bai Mugui, he was already twenty years old at this time, and his difference from ordinary people was even more obvious, and his physical fitness was much better than ordinary people. So he became the leader of the faction that supported him, and in the battle with the opposition
, winning more and losing less. The opposition saw that their men were getting fewer and fewer, so they paid a high price and designed to ambush Baimugui. Finally, in a valley, Baimugui and his men were shot to death with random arrows.
What they didn't expect was that this was the beginning of their nightmare. (To be continued)
