Chapter 16 The Purple Cloak
The scene before me changed again, a building that looked like a bridge but was much wider than the bridge stretched from foot to the eye, and every ten paces on either side stood a huge stone pillar upright, and the veil of unknown color hung from top to bottom, floating slightly in the wind. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 infoThe light here was a little dimmer than the magic path outside, and she wanted to take a closer look at what else was decorated here, but she found that Qi Ye had already walked five steps away, and she quickly retracted her thoughts and buried herself in keeping up.
Walking silently for a while, Gu Liuguang suddenly found that the surroundings seemed to be brighter, and glanced ahead slightly, only to see a woman with silver hair and purple robes raising her hand slightly, and the braziers on both sides of her lit again.
"Mingke has seen Lord Mozun." Mingke knelt down and saluted.
Gu Liuguang didn't know what was wrong with her today, and when she saw others kneeling, she immediately had the urge to kneel, and I don't know if it was because she had demon blood flowing in her body all the time, and her demonic nature was due to her nature?
She was stunned by this thought of herself, and suddenly realized why she had been different from everyone else since she was a child. And everything seems to have a seemingly absurd, but extremely appropriate explanation at this moment.
She's a human demon.
"She's over to you." Qi Ye gave an order to Ming Ke, and then looked sideways at Gu Liuguang. But seeing her staring at a certain place, she didn't know what she was thinking, and she couldn't help but think in her heart, it seemed that he was thinking too much, such a stupid human demon would be difficult to become a climate at all.
Until Qi Ye left, Gu Liuguang was still distracted.
Mingke also hadn't seen a new demon from outside for a long time, and when he saw her like this, he asked a little curiously and cautiously, "I don't know what your name is?" Introducing himself again, "I'm Mingke." ”
“…… Yes? Gu Liuguang was stunned and came back to his senses, "Hello, my name is Gu Liuguang!" After speaking, she half-lowered her eyes again, and secretly said in her heart that she was really surnamed Gu?
When Mingke received the task of taking charge of the trivial matters of this new demon's life, he also got some news from Qiye, knowing that she had just come from the human world, and she had only revealed her demonic energy after dying once, and she was confused about the current situation. So he said patiently: "If you don't understand anything in the future, or if you need anything, come to me, and the accommodation I will arrange for you is very close to my resting place." After a pause, "Don't be in a hurry, everything has a process of slow adaptation." Although she was born a demon, she didn't know anything about "adaptation".
"......" Gu Liuguang glanced at Ming Ke with a little gratitude, only thinking that she looked a little like Gu Yiyao, so he nodded, "Thank you." ”
Then Ming Ke led Gu Liuguang to the place where they lived, and after asking along the way, Gu Liuguang learned that the demon world was originally divided into regions, and it was also divided into levels.
For example, Mingke is a second-class demon clan, and he obeys the orders of a first-class demon clan. The first-class demon clan above it directly serves the Demon Venerable Qiye, and the third-class demon clan below was responsible for guarding the territory of the demon realm a long time ago, and now the demon realm is temporarily friendly with the other two realms, so there is less need to fight.
The level of demons is different, and the places they live in are also different. At that time, Gu Liuguang looked at the place called "Qjiao", the houses were dense, some like the market he had seen, but it was much quieter, and he couldn't hear the sound of talking. The sky here is not quite the same as the Magic Path, although it is also a dull color, but the light purple stars mixed with it are magnificent, and it looks particularly chic.
"Here, come here." Mingke led her to the front of the house, the outline of the house here looked a little strange, and it was not a place to live in Gu Liuguang's eyes. But she didn't have to choose, so she followed Mingke in.
Who has cleaned up the house, except for a bed, the simple furnishings simply make Gu Liuguang embarrassed. Although she is not the person who pursues the ultimate in luxury and wealth, it is inevitably too simple.
"Candle, give you one." As he spoke, Mingke took out the candle from his sleeve, put it on the candlestick, and lit it with the fire in his palm.
Gu Liuguang was surprised and asked, "One?" Don't you usually use it? ”
"No, you don't." Mingke shook his head, "I'm used to the light here, it's uncomfortable to be too bright." He added, "But I don't know what it's like to be bright, the brightest place in the demon world is the forbidden land, and I can't go there." Pointing to the candle, "This candle is still made by humans and demons, and they, like you, are not used to coming here, so they make something." ”
Hearing that there were also human demons here, Gu Liuguang was a little happy and said, "Then can I meet them?" What kind of demons are they, and where do they live? ”
Ming Ke hesitated for a moment, and his voice lowered a little, "Actually, the reason for the human demons is not the pure-blood clan, they don't have any rank, and they generally gather in Gechuan to serve all the demon clans. ”
"What about me?" Gu Liuguang's heart was shocked for a moment, and it turned out that these demons looked down on human demons at all, or rather, human demons were used for slavery in their eyes.
"You? Probably because the demon world hasn't seen a new demon for more than a thousand years, so even if you are a human demon, I treat you a little specially. Mingke whispered, but said in her heart that she had lived for so long, but in fact, she had not seen Qi Ye personally make arrangements for which demon.
Gu Liuguang was surprised: "Why haven't I seen it for more than a thousand years...... Wait, more than a thousand years? You, how old are you? ”
"Poof, over 1,000 years old." Mingke tilted his head and pulled a strand of hair that was vertical in front of his eyes behind his ear, "You were a human before, you definitely don't know that there are many others in this world besides you. And these 'others' are all outlived by people. ”
Gu Liuguang bowed her head, and said in her heart that she had seen a "other", but she didn't know what to call it, so she bit her lip and didn't speak.
Ming Ke thought that she didn't understand what she meant, so she said carefully: "These 'others' have our demons and demons...... Hell, you've definitely heard of it. By the way, there seems to be a saying in the human world that 'don't do bad things on weekdays, and you are not afraid of ghosts knocking on the door in the middle of the night', but in fact, ghosts are nothing to fear, and ordinary ghosts are still afraid of us. Mingke smiled.
"Is the ghost afraid of the devil?" Gu Liuguang was a little curious, "Compared with ghosts and demons, who has a longer life?" ”
Mingke thought for a while and said, "This is going to involve the issue of survival and reproduction. For example, when humans, demons, and immortals die, their souls will be detained in the ghost world, and whether they are reincarnated or not depends on the meaning of the person in charge of the ghost world. If the ghost realm masters are not allowed to reincarnate their souls, then they will stay in the ghost realm forever. However, demons and gods are very special, after the demon dies, only the soul will be broken, and then with the help of external force and time, it can be condensed again and reborn. I don't know God. After a pause, "So you can't really compare this question." ”
"Hmm, so that means that the devil is eternal?"
"Not really, in the past, humans and demons were extremely vulnerable, and after being injured, even if they relied on Black Spring, they might not be reborn. And now that the Black Spring has been dried up for a long time, the people of the Demon Realm are all facing the same dilemma. Speaking of this, Ming Kewu sighed to himself, "Black Spring is our birthplace, it has a huge magical power, it has been nourishing and nurturing demons for many years, and we rely on it to be strong and reborn. It's just that more than a thousand years ago, for some reason, the black spring suddenly dried up, and all the magic power dissipated. Since then, we have not seen any new demons appear. Looking at Gu Liuguang, "Now you know your specialness, right?" You came so suddenly, even if it's a personal demon, we will take it seriously. ”
