Take yourself to the altar

Chapter 44 [044] The art of animal creation
Feng Yu went to Changshan and traveled for half a day.

On the way, I saw a man selling livestock and driving three donkeys on the road, but he was unfamiliar with his skills and forced the donkeys away.The donkey was stubborn and refused to leave. The man was furious, yelling and threatening, and the scene was very funny.Feng Yu was quite amused, and after a few more glances, the man seemed to be stimulated, and he whipped violently.

The donkey barks and jumps wildly in pain, and the more it refuses to leave.

Feng Yu laughed, and couldn't help but said: "You sell livestock, but you don't know that donkeys are the most stubborn. Why don't you use skills to control them, instead of fighting with them?"

The peddler's temper was still irritable, and he replied angrily: "You can pump your own donkey as you like, what does it have to do with you, a Taoist?"

Feng Yu raised his eyebrows, his eyes were strange.

It was the hawker's irritable tone that inexplicably reminded Feng Yu of the Lai San he had bumped into before, and he burst into anger when he heard it.But just because of a few donkeys, Feng Yu didn't bother to pay attention, shook his head and walked away.

After a short walk, I saw a restaurant on the side of the road, and a group of three or two people were resting here.Feng Yu smelled the aroma of food, and moved his index finger for a while, so he went to the restaurant to take a break, ordered a pot of wine, cut two plates of braised meat, and poured it out.

Suddenly I heard the laughter of the guests next to me, some pointed to the outside of the restaurant, and the rest laughed when they saw it.

Feng Yu followed what he pointed out and looked at the way outside the store. It turned out that the donkey driver from before was struggling to pull three donkeys and was walking towards the restaurant.His rough and clumsy appearance on the road caused everyone to laugh at him, saying, "A three-year-old naughty boy is better at driving a donkey than him."

The peddler turned to Feng Yu and scolded him angrily, but now the diners in the restaurant laughed. Although the peddler was annoyed, he didn't dare to provoke so many people, he just didn't know.He tied the three donkeys to the horse stakes outside the store, bought some meat to satisfy his hunger, and discussed with the shopkeeper to store the donkeys here temporarily, and then left the place to go back.

Feng Yu ordered another jug ​​of wine, and when the shopkeeper served the wine, he stopped and asked about the donkey peddler.

The shopkeeper said with a smile: "That man is a donkey dealer from the south. He said his surname is Gong. He has been collecting donkeys nearby for the past two days. Sometimes he has one or two donkeys, and sometimes he has four or five donkeys. Just now he said that there are few donkeys. The head is temporarily stored here, and we will rush back together later. It's just because people don't understand donkey nature, and there are many jokes, so all the guests know."

At the tethering post outside the store, the three donkeys were agitated, one of them was the most violent, and pulled the rope vigorously with its neck high, but to no avail, so it gnawed with its mouth again.The three donkeys clamored together, making a lot of noise.

Feng Yu asked strangely, "Is his donkey always so noisy?"

The shopkeeper also felt strange, shook his head and said: "Yesterday there were also some irritable ones, but they are not as violent as today. Customers sit down for a while and wait for someone to frighten them with a whip!" Di waved his whistle whip in the air, and the crackling sound really startled the two donkeys.

But the third donkey was still restless and restless.

The shopkeeper was afraid that the donkey would really bite the rein, so he flicked the whip twice again. The two donkeys were silent like a cicada, but the fierce one still ignored it, just jumped around and struggled to get free.The shopkeeper was helpless, he raised his hand and wanted to give it two whips, but just as he raised his hand, someone grabbed him, and when he looked back, it was Feng Yu!
"Guest, what are you—?"

Feng Yu stopped his movements, looked closely at the three donkeys, and said, "Strange, shopkeeper, do you think this donkey is very human?"

The shopkeeper just felt baffled, and looked at it according to the words. At first, he didn't realize it, but when he looked closely at the three donkeys, he saw the spirituality in each of their eyes, fear, anxiety, anxiety and other emotions, as if they were looking at people, which scared the shopkeeper. one jump.Then he laughed dryly, and said casually: "I don't pay attention to it on weekdays, I don't think this animal has emotions like people."

"Hmm~"

Feng Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, more suspicious than the shopkeeper.

But after careful observation, he didn't notice any abnormality, neither evil spirit nor other fluctuations of evil forces, but doubts arose in his intuition.Those three donkeys seemed to be really understanding human nature. Feng Yu took a closer look, and the two that had been quiet at first immediately stepped on all fours, trying to attract attention, as if they knew their fate of being slaughtered, and then asked Feng Yu for help. .

"Daoist, don't get too close, be careful that donkey kicks you!" The shopkeeper hurriedly reminded Feng Yu approaching.

Without looking back, Feng Yu said "It's okay", and said to the three donkeys: "Be quiet, let me take a look at you!" The three donkeys responded quietly, even the fiercest one didn't seem to The shopkeeper thought it was so hurtful, but instead he moved closer to Feng Yu, grunting, like words.

The shopkeeper looked on in amazement.

Feng Yu caressed the three donkeys one by one, feeling even more puzzled, because he didn't notice anything unusual, but simply felt that the three donkeys were spiritually tight.

——Could it be that you are worrying too much?
Feng Yu took a step back, saw the three donkeys' lips dry and froth overflowing, and said to the shopkeeper: "Shopkeeper, I think these three donkeys' lips are scorched and dry, maybe if you feed them some water, they will be quiet? "

Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper shook his head immediately when he heard it, and said: "I don't know, the Taoist priest, when the donkey seller left, he specifically told them not to give them water. He paid for the donkey to be stored here. If he violated his wishes, there will be a quarrel at that time." It's hard to get up!"

"Oh~?!"

A bright light flashed in Feng Yu's eyes, and his doubts grew, "Is there such a thing?"

The shopkeeper nodded, and persuaded: "It's true, Daoist, don't delay here, go eat and drink by yourself." At the same time, he said to the three donkeys: "If you really have spirituality, don't make trouble anymore. Otherwise, if the whip hits your body, you will be the ones who hurt~!"

"Wait, shopkeeper," Feng Yu stopped him, "feed them some water, then the donkey dealer will be held accountable, and I'll pay him money!"

The shopkeeper was amazed and asked suspiciously, "Master Daoist, are you serious?"

A deep expression appeared in Feng Yu's eyes, he nodded to confirm the shopkeeper's words, and said, "You feed them water first, and then I will wait for the donkey dealer to come back and explain this matter!"

Seeing this, the shopkeeper no longer insisted, and agreed: "Okay, okay, the Taoist priest has such a kind heart, how can I go against it?" The customers in the shop didn't care before, but now they heard that Feng Yu was willing to pay to feed water to other people's donkeys. , they all thought it was funny, they didn't even eat, and gathered around the door to watch the excitement.

There is a water trough for drinking horses next to the hitching post.

The shopkeeper wanted to go forward and untie the donkeys, and let them go to the sink to drink.Feng Yu stopped him, saying that the water in the sink was not clean, and asked him to fetch clean water for feeding.The shopkeeper was quite baffled, and couldn't help slandering in his heart. He only felt that Feng Yu was a weird person. Could it be possible that he really regarded donkeys as human beings?

Reluctantly, he went back to the store and brought half a bucket of clean water. Feng Yu didn't ask him to serve the three donkeys to drink water, so he took it by himself, raised his hand and melted three talismans into the water.The others laughed and murmured at first, but they were amazed when they saw Feng Yu's ability to "create something out of nothing" and burn out the talisman paper out of thin air.

The shopkeeper also noticed something strange: "The Taoist——"

Feng Yu shook his head to signal that there is no need to worry. Using a magic spell, the reins of the three donkeys on the horse stakes suddenly fell off. The strange thing is that the donkeys that were struggling to escape, at this moment, took off the reins and became quiet instead.

Feng Yu brought the water in front of the three donkeys, and said, "Don't be afraid, don't worry, you all come here and drink some water one by one." Drinking water, the most tempered donkey knew how to be courteous, and he didn't go forward until the other two had finished drinking the water.

Everyone was quite curious, and they all felt that the donkey was too human.

Suddenly, after drinking the water, the three donkeys bent their legs and rolled on the ground. Suddenly, their bodies twisted, and they changed from gray donkeys into three children in an instant. Two of them were four or five years old, and the other was about ten years old. It was the donkey that had struggled the most before!
Such a spectacle of "great transformation into a living person" caused an immediate uproar among the onlookers!

The shopkeeper was so shocked that he was at a loss for words, and looked at Feng Yu in fear: "Master, what is going on here? How did you change from a donkey to a human?"

The two younger children regained their bodies, weeping in fear, but the older child's eyes were red, but he was able to hold back his fear, and immediately knelt down and kowtowed thanks after being saved.But Feng Yu stopped him, and while comforting him softly, the coldness in his eyes became more and more intense.

Hearing the shopkeeper's questioning, Feng Yu sighed and let out the older children: "What exactly happened, how do I know all about it? You might as well ask them themselves."

As the child narrated, things became clear.

It turned out that the wicked man surnamed Gong was not a "donkey dealer" at all, but just used it as a cover to facilitate his entry and exit in various villages.Once they sense the opportunity, they will lure them with sweet cakes. Children don't know what to do, and they eat the cakes out of greed. They will immediately turn into donkeys. At first, they cannot control themselves, so they follow.

Even if people noticed it, no one in the village lost the donkey, and the donkey couldn't speak, so it let it go.In the end, they were able to control themselves and struggled in every possible way, but they were frightened by the whip and had to obey, so Feng Yu and the others saw the scene they had seen before.

Hearing the truth, the crowd was furious, and the shopkeeper's face was livid with horror, and he was terrified.

"I have never heard of the evil of selling people as donkeys. Daoist, isn't this a sorcery?"

Feng Yu had bumped into that villainous donkey seller twice, but he didn't notice the fluctuation of mana and demon power from him. If it wasn't for his humane conduct to return to the basics, then he could only be a mortal.Seeing that it is so strenuous to use evil methods to lure and abduct children, it is probably the latter.

Then the source of "turning a man into a donkey" should not be in that man.

Feng Yu then said to everyone: "Everyone, be safe and don't be impatient. No matter whether that person is a human or a monster, he will never be forgiven for doing such evil things! And he said he will come back, so we will wait for him here. The child he abducted can only be found with him as a clue, so don't show your flaws when you are young!"

Seeing Feng Yu rescued the three children with their own eyes, everyone was convinced and nodded in righteous indignation.The shopkeeper glanced at the empty tying post, and said worriedly: "Master, but the donkey is gone now, if the thief sees it, wouldn't you be alert, how should you deal with it?"

Some diners spoke up and said, "It's only twenty miles to the county seat. I can borrow three donkeys in the city. It's just a waste of time to go back and forth, and I may not be able to make it in time!"

Feng Yu said with a smile: "If you want to deceive that villain, how can you borrow a real donkey?" Then he went to the shop, took three wooden chopsticks, and said, "Shopkeeper, I will lend you some chopsticks!" Then he threw it away casually. , The three wooden chopsticks dropped their hands and inserted them next to the horse-hitting post. Everyone's eyes widened. As Feng Yusong recited the inscrutable incantation, the three wooden chopsticks swelled and twisted under the eyes of everyone, and melted in the blink of an eye. Be three donkeys.

Everyone exclaimed again and again, and when they looked closely, they found that the donkeys that had changed from the previous three children were exactly the same. They all turned their heads and flicked their tails, and they were so vivid that they were no different from the real ones!Feng Yu let the three children into the store, and the shopkeeper brought some food to appease the three of them.

The rest of the people looked at the donkey with wooden chopsticks from a distance, all excited and surprised, thinking of the villain's "donkey sale", they were all indignant, they entered the shop as promised, and waited for the villain surnamed Gong to enter the urn together with the enemy!
