41. Gluttony
Is it sunlight that shines on him? No, no, even if the sunlight is not as dazzling as him, he is the light.
Zhan Lu just stood there, stunned.
She was watching, and a paper crane flew in from the window. He seemed to realize something, stretched out his hand, and the paper crane meekly stopped on his fingertips, looking very cute.
He unfolded the paper crane, carefully read the words on it, and when he finished reading, he flicked his fingers and popped out a little spark, burned the letter, and said:
"It's a letter from the gentleman, and he has been delayed a little, and it will be about a few months before he comes. ”
Yes...... There are still a few months to go.
Zhan Lu nodded, his mood was complicated, he couldn't tell whether he was happy that he could spend these months well, or he was sad that these months were fleeting, and Ming Yijun still had to leave.
Her momentary trance was noticed by Ming Yijun, and she saw his smile slightly confused, as if he didn't know how to appease her. His smile was very beautiful, even if he had already determined his intentions, when Zhan Lu saw him, he still had to feel the rate of his heart beating, and it was still hard to believe that such a perfect him was by her side at this time, and there was his breath in the air she breathed.
He walked over to soothe her, gently stroking her forehead.
She closed her eyes.
He's not very good at appeasing people, and he's probably never appeased anyone before. The only thing he could do was stroke her forehead. However, Zhan Lu felt very good and gentle, and she closed her eyes.
When she was caressed by him, she felt that she was no longer alone in this world.
……
……
Time passed quietly, and life seemed to be no different from the past. It's just that when Ming Yijun eats, he no longer finds fault with Zhan Lu. No matter what Zhan Lu made, no matter whether Qingxuan Fox and Ah Zhen Niangzi said it was delicious or not, Ming Yijun ate it without even frowning his eyebrows.
This made Mrs. Ah Zhen extremely surprised. When Ming Yijun lived in Dongfu, if the chef's food was not to his taste and did not satisfy him, although he would not be angry, he would eat the chef. If it was in a restaurant outside, he wouldn't do anything terrible, but at least he would have to say a lot of mean things. Now he can actually eat a bad meal without even frowning, so if it weren't for the fact that the aura on Ming Yijun's body has not changed in the slightest, Ah Zhen Niangzi would have thought that he had been replaced.
Ming Yijun naturally didn't have a core, he just ...... Changed.
Speaking of which, Ah Zhen Niangzi has only existed for more than 2,000 years, and what she knows is only Ming Yijun for more than 2,000 years. She had never seen Ming Yijun's appearance in the past, and she would not know about the possible changes in the future. It's still the same sentence, the mushroom doesn't know the obscurity, the cockroach doesn't know the spring and autumn, how can the mushroom cricket know the changes in the soul of the big tsubaki that can live for tens of millions of years!
But it's true that even Ming Yijun himself feels that his temperament is becoming more and more gentle, and he hardly looks like him anymore. But he was not as surprised by this change as Ah Zhen Niangzi, he himself knew what was going on, he just took it calmly.
Ming Yijun himself knew that he was not like he was from the beginning. When he was first born between heaven and earth, his wisdom was still very little, and he was in ignorance, and he was not Ming Yijun at that time, he was just gluttonous. He doesn't know that there is anything else in the world, only his **: he wants to eat.
So he started eating. Due to the age and ignorance of his time, his memory of that time is not very clear. All he remembered was that during that time, all he did was eat.
Although he was still in ignorance at that time, he was still powerful. Whether it is a creature in the air, on land, or in the water, there is nothing that can compare with him, because he is born from the qi of the four seasons of yin and yang, and he has enough strength to do whatever he wants.
At that time, the water and plants were abundant, and the variety of living beings was too numerous to count, so he could eat it without any scruples, without worrying about the time when he would eat it all. When he was sleepy, he went to a comfortable place to rest, and he could sleep for hundreds of years, if not thousands of years.
He didn't have to worry about any beast sneaking up on him while he was sleeping, he was so powerful, the breath he released alone was enough to deter the beast, and there would be no beast for hundreds of miles where he slept.
He had spent so much time, and after one of his awakenings, he felt bored.
So he began to wreak havoc, killing the beasts, piling them up in one place and leaving them to rot. However, this is also very boring, and he quickly gets bored.
Then humans appeared.
In the beginning, he only regarded humans as a type of food. Later, he discovered that this food was very different from other beasts.
They dared to rebel against him.
Most of the beasts were paralyzed with fright by the time he approached. However, the humans tried to stab him with their pointed spears.
It was impossible for him to be injured by such a weapon, but it was a very interesting thing.
So, he began to choose human beings for his food, and went to human villages to choose what he liked.
Humans have resisted many times, but they have failed, so they eventually give up their resistance. He thought that they had given up hope and become beings like other beasts, and he couldn't help but be a little disappointed. One day, however, he found that they had given up their resistance, but they had not given up hope - and they began to worship him.
His power came from the Heavenly Dao, a power that humans could never contend with, so the humans changed their ways, and they begged Him to forgive them so that they could live in peace.
It was something he never thought of. Humans carved wood and stone in his likeness, bowed down to the idols, and placed food in front of the idols, as if to feed them.
This feeling...... It's amazing. He began to think that it seemed more interesting to keep the humans than to eat them.
So for thousands of years, he watched as human beings gradually became stronger, and many of them even saw through the truth of heaven and earth, ascended to the heavenly realm, and created a heavenly court.
And his wisdom has slowly grown over time. He was a more spiritual creature than a human being. When the mind moves, you can walk in the world in the form of a human being. It's not that hard - his face is inherently human-like.
It was during the days when he wandered in the world that he named himself Mingyijun. Although he still likes to eat people sometimes, he still looks more and more like a human after living among humans for a long time.
He traveled extensively, traveled far and wide in heaven and earth, met many immortals, ate many delicacies of the world, and associated with the other three evil beasts, but he was still tired of it, and he returned to the place where he was born, and the people in the vicinity still worshiped him. It made him feel more comfortable. He found a cave near there, and arranged it according to his preference—his hobby was now very much like that of a man—and then some mountain spirits and monsters came to him, willing to be a servant and maidservant to him, and begged for shade, and he picked some that was pleasing to the eye, and his cave was very like. He lived in his own cave, occasionally going out to meet other beasts and immortals, and never felt lonely.
Yes...... At the time when he regarded human beings as his main food, how could he have imagined that one day human beings would be as strong as they are today? Just as he never thought that he would also have affection, just like human beings.
