Although the night wind in the maple forest is a bit strong, it is extremely fresh. Even at night, the fiery red maple leaves almost turn the sky into red. I saw that it was still early, so I agreed with Meng Yunzhong to rest for one night in the maple forest before returning.
Go back, this kind of scenery is indeed not seen everywhere.
The white-clothed immortal's real name was Gui Chen. After seeing this jade pendant, his attitude suddenly changed a lot. Although he still had prejudice against me, he no longer spoke harshly to us.
"Yinluo, how did you get Master Fu's jade pendant?"
Meng Yunzhong and I were sitting in the middle of the maple forest, leaning on his shoulders quietly, admiring the night sky above the maple forest. But he suddenly asked, thinking that this question had been lingering in his mind for a long time.
"Yun Zhong, do you believe me?"
I raised my head and looked at him, our eyes met. He hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
"I did pick it up in a forest on the outskirts of Suining Town. I didn't know its origin at first, but when Master Fu said it that day, I guessed that it might be a token given to him by the immortal. Originally, I didn't know it.
I wanted to take it out, but the immortal discovered it on his own."
Meng Yunzhong thought for a moment and then said:
"Then, what is the resurrected grass demon that you and the immortal mentioned just now? Could it be that Master Fu's concubine is..."
"Yes, Yun Niang is also a demon, but Fulingcao is a fairy grass that can cure all diseases. She has a pure nature, so she will naturally not do evil. If not, how can ordinary people cure Sister You's illness?"
Unexpectedly, Meng Yunzhong smiled softly and said: "Unexpectedly, only a few people have extraordinary destinies. Now I really understand the insignificance of mortals."
I don’t know why, when he said this, a thought suddenly flashed in my mind: Maybe he will also have an unusual fate? But immediately, I secretly laughed at myself. Although everyone around him seemed to be very human.
, but what does this mean? He is just an ordinary person, but he happens to be caught up in this complicated relationship. And so am I. If my mother hadn’t died suddenly many years ago, I might still be living a simple life.
The little demon in the gloomy forest. If possible, I would rather he would always be a mere mortal, knowing nothing. I looked at his side face and deliberately changed the topic.
"Yunzhong, tell me, compared with Xiaozhu, how is the scenery here?"
"The maple forest here is full of fire, and the night sky is clear. It is a rare and beautiful scene. But I still prefer the freshness and elegance of the small building, which is not so ostentatious. This kind of beautiful scenery is only suitable for passing by and admiring.
But it’s not suitable to stay.”
"Well, actually I think so too, so we have to put an end to all this quickly and return to Xiaozhu."
"ignorance!"
I raised my head and walked away after hearing the sound, only to see Guichen standing on the top of a maple tree, looking down at us with disdain.
"Monsters want to combine with mortals. What a wishful thinking!"
After hearing what he said, I felt a lot of anger in my heart for no reason.
"Besides, how long can you live without this divine sword?"
I turned from angry to surprised. Could he see the poison in me?
"Demons are originally a type of foreign matter born from the spiritual energy of the mortal world. They do not have the perfect cycle of life, old age, illness, death, reproduction and continuation of mortals, nor do they have powerful spiritual power to compare with gods and demons. How can they be qualified to enjoy the seven emotions and six desires of mortals? It is just wishful thinking!
"
"There is no perfect reincarnation of mortal life, old age, sickness, death, reproduction and continuation..." What does this mean?
"What did you say?"
"Hmph! I said, demons are extremely humble. How can a life without reincarnation have any meaning in survival?"
I stood up from the ground, jumped up, and stood on the tree opposite him. Meng Yunzhong stood under the tree, at a loss.
"Guichen, please tell me clearly, what is a life without reincarnation?"
"Hmph! Did you know that in addition to mortals, gods and demons also have the ability to reproduce? However, because the life span of the gods is too long, the ancient emperor forcibly sealed this ability to maintain the constant number of gods, unless the gods decline.
Nowadays, the seal will not be broken. Only a thousand years ago, a god forcibly broke the seal and gave birth to a daughter with a mortal woman. Demons also have the ability to conceive, but the pregnancy of demons takes a long time, and in the end only
It can be spread all over the world in the form of demon spirits. Only by finding those creatures who want to become demons as hosts can it be revived. Not to mention mortals. Only demons have no father or mother, so they are a place where demons are everywhere.
Forcibly changing the original form of all things to breed and form, except for the nine-tailed fox clan, all have no reproductive ability, and their spiritual power is fragile. Most of them die at an early age. Even if they are lucky enough to survive, their life span is much shorter than that of gods and demons. Many demons also try to use evil as a trap.
If the evil method increases spiritual power, isn't it going against heaven?"
"You said that monsters have no father or mother?"
"How does a humble demon have the right to enjoy the happiness of a family as a son and daughter?"
"Can demons and other races reproduce?"
"Delusion!"
Like a bolt from the blue, Gui Chen's words brought out the last words Cang Li said to me. I turned around and looked at Meng Yunzhong. Suddenly, I realized that I also had too many questions.
Unravel, after my fate with Meng Yunzhong ends, I'm afraid I will have to worry about my own secrets again.
"However, you monster seems to be hiding other spiritual powers, which is strange."
"Other spiritual powers? What do you mean?"
"I can't see clearly either. In addition to the demonic energy on your body, there are also other spiritual energy fluctuations that are looming... wait... this is... how is this possible... how is it possible?" Gui Chen turned to face.
Surprised, completely different from the stern expression just now, but his words stopped there. Is it because of the Holy Spirit spring water in my body?
"Just take care of yourself!"
After saying that, Guichen jumped down and disappeared in the maple forest in a flash, leaving only me with a question. I also fell to the ground and walked to Meng Yunzhong.
"Yinluo, he didn't do anything to you, right?"
"No, he just told me some stories about gods and demons." I smiled and said lightly, but I concluded that Meng Yunzhong could still see what was on my mind, but he had no way of asking.
At this moment, Gui Chen’s words kept replaying in my heart: It’s such a wishful thinking for monsters to want to combine with mortals! Although Meng Yunzhong and I have made an oath of eternal love, I have also made up my mind not to care about those unreasonable responsibilities and obstacles.
, but I don’t know why, but I can’t feel relieved all the time. It’s really difficult to truly have no worries.
This night, because of Gui Chen’s words, was no longer all good. I really wanted to talk to Meng Yunzhong, but I really didn’t know how to express what I was thinking. I just wanted to wait until all this was over, and maybe I wouldn’t be there again.
Is there any other criticism?
Gui Chen used illusion magic to create another bamboo hut next to the bamboo hut where he lived for Meng Yunzhong and I to rest.
After Meng Yunzhong fell asleep, I walked to the forest alone.
"Monster, in the middle of the night, do you still want to do evil in my maple forest?"
As soon as I walked to the fence of the bamboo house, I saw Gui Chen, dressed in white, standing on the crown of a maple tree not far from me. When he looked up at me, he floated down, but still stopped at a distance from me. He
I really have a deep prejudice against monsters.
"I still don't understand what you said today, so I wanted to ask you for clarification."
"Hmph, what else do you know about?"
"To be honest, you mentioned before that monsters have no father or mother, but I was raised by my mother. Why is this?"
"Don't talk nonsense about monsters! How can monsters be called mothers? Even if they are, it is just an excuse for many evil monsters to collude with each other to do evil."
"Are there no exceptions?"
"Of course not. Unless you are not a demon at all!"
"It's not a demon..." I pondered for a moment, and then another question came to my mind, "Then you said that there is other spiritual power hidden behind the demonic aura in me, what exactly is it?"
"Is it possible that you don't know?"
"I have indeed lived in the Demon Realm for several years, and the blood in my body is the Holy Spirit Spring Water in the Demon Realm. Is this what you are talking about?"
"Holy Spirit Spring Water? What is the relationship between Cangli in the Demon Realm and you? Why does the Sword of Cangrong protect you?"
"I didn't expect you also knew about him? He was the one who kidnapped me to the Demon Realm and exchanged my blood for me."
"Hmph! A practicing demon deserves to be like this."
"You haven't answered me yet."
"It's useless to say more. The spiritual power hidden in you is far from that, but I can't see it at this time."
"So there are times when even immortals don't know?"
"Hmph! Even the gods may not fully understand everything in this world. How can I make false claims?"
"Forget it, since you don't know, I won't ask. But, I still have a question." I looked at his unhappy expression after being ridiculed by me, and suddenly felt a little interesting, "You got it from me today.
What is the origin of the jade pendant? Does the owner of the jade pendant have a close relationship with you?"
"How can such a secret be discovered by a monster like you?"
Sure enough, when he mentioned the jade pendant or its owner, Guichen immediately became emotional. With a strange smile, I continued:
"Of course I can't find out, but I want to tell the immortal that I found this jade pendant in a monster's habitat. Aren't you afraid that it will have any adverse impact on the owner of the jade pendant?"
"Seriously?" Guichen already turned his head arrogantly, but when he heard what I said, he not only turned his head, but his expression seemed to be a little more surprised.
"Furthermore, since you have a good relationship with the owner of the jade pendant, you should know that his wife is not a kind person either. If this monster and his wife collude with each other and secretly infiltrate the warehouse, will you just sit back and ignore it?"
"I don't take that snake monster lightly, and the owner of the jade pendant can handle it. But...are there really monsters lurking around?" He seemed to know a lot about repaying a favor.
"Enough to handle it? Well, you can decide for yourself whether you believe it or not." I smiled coldly, "Since I have finished asking, I won't bother you. Anyway, you will go to Suining with us tomorrow, so you might as well confirm it yourself.
.By the way, I wonder if immortals can do space magic?"
"Why do you ask?"
"Time is urgent to save people. If the immortal can't do it, I have to ask you to condescend to go back with us. However, the nine-tailed fox demon must cast the spell."
"Hmph! I have always only practiced the art of pure cultivation and tranquility. I have never been interested in those evil spirits' sorcery."
"Okay, then at noon tomorrow, we will set off from Lijiang outside Yifeng Valley, let's go together."
I smiled lightly, Guichen snorted disdainfully, and disappeared into the maple forest, leaving only a patch of red. His face-saving character was quite interesting.
The next day, Meng Yunzhong and I arrived at Lijiang Town first. It was not yet noon, which gave Meng Yunzhong and I some time to wander around. The folk customs here are harmonious, and there are many buildings with exotic styles, which are indeed similar to Suining Town.
It's quite different. Many exquisite exotic ornaments and costumes also have a unique flavor. Coupled with the clear and beautiful environment, it is really a Feng Shui blessed place.
Strange to say, after leaving Yifeng Valley, the Sword of Cangrong naturally turned invisible and had no abnormal appearance. Could it be because Guichen had set up a barrier?
However, at this moment, there was a commotion not far away, and the crowd gradually gathered in one place. I smelled a faint smell, so I walked over with Meng Yunzhong.
"You barbarians, you really don't have any sympathy for women! Seeing how thin my clothes are, you just don't want to give me a piece of clothing to hide my shame, and you want to frame me so harshly."
"You're such an unreasonable woman! You stole clothes from my store when I wasn't prepared, and yet you're still making excuses!"
When I got closer, I saw the fox demon's twisted body and charming and innocent face. She must be having fun with these mortals again. People around were talking a lot, not all because of the stolen clothes.
She is so bold and naked that she attracts the attention of people.
"Brother's words are really unpleasant. There is nothing wrong with stealing or not. Since I am a girl, I always feel ashamed. If you slander others like this, you are really responsible for the slave family..."
The fox demon, on the other hand, leaned directly towards the innocent shopkeeper. This sudden embarrassing scene made the surroundings boil. The shopkeeper lost his bearings for a moment, and his hands and feet seemed to be frozen. He didn't know what to do.
"What a monster! How dare you make trouble in public!"
Just when the fox demon was confidently enjoying the farce, someone in the crowd shouted loudly. Suddenly the crowd's discussion became much quieter, and everyone looked in the direction where the sound came from.
But they saw a man wearing Hanfu, with a vicissitudes of life and stubble on his face, standing in the crowd and looking at the fox demon angrily. The fox demon looked sideways at this man, his face changed slightly, but he immediately smiled sweetly.
"Who do I think I am? You are so old and decrepit that you dare to come and snatch away the slave family? The slave family's heart has already been given to this brother..."
As the fox demon spoke, he leaned toward the bewildered shopkeeper even more unscrupulously, like a piece of sticky candy that couldn't be pulled off.
However, I have already seen that the person who came here is not good, and there seems to be a faint air of freshness on his body, which is somewhat similar to You Ruojun's Xuyu Lingzhu. I smiled coldly, and I am a monster hunter again.
"Cultivation is rampant! Watch your moves!"
The demon catcher ignored the fox demon's provocation at all, pushed aside the crowd, took out a sharp weapon like a dagger from his arms, and stabbed the fox demon directly. Looking again, the sharp edge of the dagger extended instantly, and in an instant
A sharp long knife was produced. Although the style was not exquisite enough, the blade was faintly glowing, showing its power.
The fox demon did not dodge, and still leaned against the shopkeeper half-smiling and half-lovingly. However, the young shopkeeper was frightened and his face became even more frightened.
Soon enough, just as the long knife struck in front of the fox demon, the fox demon suddenly turned around, leaving only a phantom in front of the shopkeeper. He saw that the blade was about to strike directly in front of the shopkeeper, who had already opened his mouth.
Up. When the man saw this, he was also surprised and quickly reversed his sword, but the fox demon had already appeared behind him. The people around him saw the fox demon flickering in and out, and they probably understood the situation.
, all dispersed in panic.
"Yinluo, this..."
"It's okay, we can just watch from the sidelines."
Meng Yunzhong and I also followed the crowd and dispersed, only standing at the opposite corner and watching.
The man was not idle. In an instant, he turned his body, the power of the sword changed suddenly, and he struck at the fox demon again. This time, not only was the light of the sharp blade visible on the blade, but there was also a strong spiritual power, and the fox
The demon also knew not to look down upon him, so he stood on tiptoes and quickly backed away.
The gauze on her body was lifted up repeatedly, making it light and elegant, which was very beautiful.
While she was retreating, she lightly swiped the slender fingers of her left hand, and a long whip appeared like a long snake, and then quickly swam towards the man. However, the man had no intention of dodging, but used the power of the blade to forcefully
Chopping together with the long whip. There was a muffled sound and a bright light. The fox demon suddenly stopped, and the long knife also stopped in mid-air. The two were facing each other like this, seeming to be looking for an opportunity to strike again.
"You...what is that thing in your arms?"
The man looked at the fox demon roughly, but suddenly showed a somewhat surprised expression, staring straight at the fox demon's chest.
"After all, you still have a lustful heart. If you are really interested in the slave family, why are you so vicious?" The fox demon waved his long whip and said timidly.
"Say quickly! What is it!"
"Look at you, you are so impatient, what else can I have in your arms? Of course it is your heart that is beating wildly!"
"Monster! I'm not joking with you!"
As he said that, the man put the long knife behind his back, stamped his feet, pointed at the fox demon's chest, straightened his left hand, and leaned straight towards the fox demon.
Although the fox demon was also surprised, when the man's left hand was only an inch away from the fox demon, the fox demon also found a gap. On one side of her body, the long whip was already lying between the man and her.
The man was caught off guard and stopped suddenly. He held the long knife in his right hand and instinctively struck at the long whip. But the long whip was more than flexible. Before the long knife touched it, it had already slipped away, and the figure of the fox demon gradually faded away.
The last side of the fox demon's head happened to meet my eyes. She winked at me slightly. I understood, and she completely disappeared.
"You are such a reckless and fierce man, my family can't bear it. I have no choice but to let go of your infatuation!"
The fox demon's voice became increasingly illusory, leaving the man standing there with his brows furrowed, as if he had not yet come to his senses.
When I looked again, there was no one on the street.
