Chapter 267: Chess Piece Play (1)
Fine pungent, fine pungent, if you use the end alone, you can't pass a penny, and if you can't get through, you will die.
- Li Shizhen, "Compendium of Materia Medica"
My name is Xi Xin, I am a small peach blossom demon, unlike those other goblins, I was born in the most precious god realm in the Six Realms, and my master is also the most respected god in the god realm.
But I don't know if I'm a peach blossom or not, because I'm a peach blossom drawn by my master with an ink god pen. I can't tell whether I'm a painting demon or a peach demon, but the owner says I am, and I am.
In the days when I was not yet in human form, I grew happily on the ground outside the window of my master's room.
There, I could see him smiling and discussing business with the gods who came and went, watching him smiling at those tricky official documents, watching him smiling and drinking tea, playing chess, and painting. It's just that before night, he always stands out the window looking at the inky sky, and his eyes are full of inexhaustible sadness.
I don't understand why the owner, who has been smiling, has such a look, but I feel distressed and sad for him in my heart.
Until one day, I saw him come back in a hurry, throwing all the documents piled up on the table on the ground, and the expression on his face was indistinguishable from joy and anger. He excitedly spread out the layers of proclamations, carefully tracing the face of a woman with an ink pen, painting one after another, tearing up one painting after another. Because the woman drawn with the pen could not be turned into a physical object, but only left a shallow shadow in the air, and disappeared again in an instant. Even so, in that brief moment, I saw the tenderness and love in his eyes.
The person in the painting is a very important person to the owner......
I thought silently, watching him redraw a portrait and frame it carefully and carefully. He carefully kept it in a box, always taking it out when he wanted to see it. I stretched out tiredly, it seems that I have met a strange owner, and I should be careful when I turn into a human form in the future.
Thinking so, I woke up the next morning to find that I was not lying on a branch outside the house, but on a soft couch in the master's room. The master was intently looking at the scroll in his hand, and when he saw me wake up, his gaze on me changed from excitement and anticipation to disappointment and helplessness.
I asked him what was wrong, if I had done something wrong.
And he just smiled lightly, and there was a loss in his tone that was difficult to hide, "If only you looked like her." ”
I frowned, a little annoyed in my heart.
I know who he says "she". But I'm who I am, why do I have to look like her?
I once secretly opened the box when the master was away, and the woman in it had stunning eyebrows, and although it was only a painting, her eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts, and they were too beautiful to be blasphemed.
It turned out that she was like this, I made a few grimaces in the mirror, and I felt a little lost in my heart, no matter what I did, I couldn't become her......
I like to lie down next to my master and watch him quietly deal with official documents, watch him look serious and focused, and like to pretend to be asleep next to him. Actually, I don't like it, it's just because he likes it.
I accidentally noticed that he was very gentle at that time, he would gently touch my face and head when I was "asleep", and I knew that he was thinking of another person at the moment.
He earnestly taught me to learn words, read books, teach me spells, and help me practice......
"Master, I've been in human form for so long, I don't have a name yet, you can't keep calling me Little Peach......"
He thought for a moment, and a gentle smile rippled on his lips, "Also, I was so careless that I forgot to name you, you call it Xixin, slender and thin, hard Xin." ”
To be honest, I don't really like the name, as a peach blossom, a plant, and using the name of another plant as my own name, it always sounds a little weird and ridiculous. I didn't understand why at first, but finally one day, I did......
Suddenly, one day, the host came back from outside and said he was going to give me a task.
I thought I was going to pick up something from a certain god monarch in the east and send an official document from a god monarch in the west, but I never expected him to ask me to go to the demon realm, to go to the demon lord, and let me become a pawn he planted in the demon world.
I don't understand, as a demon, it's almost the same to go to the demon king, why do you want to go to the demon king.
Abyss ......
I can't help but shudder at the thought of this cold name.
He smiled lightly and pulled out an album from the cabinet behind him, and there was a woman with eyes that looked very similar to mine.
"Who is she?"
"It's the deceased wife of the Demon Lord, the second princess of the God Realm."
"But...... I must have been suspicious of him for no reason. ”
"No, because there are other things we need to accomplish before we can do that."
I looked at his smile, and I only felt a little scary and weird, and sure enough, something unfortunate happened. I felt a pain in my back, and the bones in my body felt like they were about to shatter. Before losing his last consciousness, I heard his sighing words.
"Whatever happens when you wake up, just remember the task I gave you."
I don't understand what he meant, I don't understand why.
When I opened my eyes again, I found myself in a dark and desolate place all around, feeling the surging aura around me, and I knew that this was the Demon Realm.
I opened my eyes tiredly to see a seductive-looking woman in a fine dress looking at me, her eyes shining with what seemed to be excitement.
She asked me what was wrong, why I was hurt, and if I still had any pain in my body, and I nodded and shook my head in a daze, looking around cautiously.
The bewitching banshee took me to a gorgeous but eerie place, and I knew who she was, she was the king, the demon king concubine, the legendary woman of the Six Realms. I looked at this idol and role model in my heart in the past, and I was excited and scared, it was one thing to be excited to see an idol, and it was another thing to be brought back inexplicably whether he would be killed.
I spent two months eating and drinking with the demon king, and the flesh on my body gradually became rampant.
Finally, one day, the demon king found me and said that she would take me to a place where I could live a more comfortable life. I asked her where she was, and she said it was the Demon Realm, and she wanted to give me as a gift to the Demon Lord in exchange for the Demon Realm's protection of the Demon Realm.
I was overjoyed in my heart, first pretending to excuse myself, and then saying some of the words I heard from my master that I wanted to repay the grace of saving my life, and I went to the soup and fire for the sake of the demon world, and I agreed to her request.
Looking at her satisfied figure, I laughed in my heart.
What is the grace of saving lives, what is for the demon world, true or false......
