Chapter 8: The Nuns and the Knights
The fog gradually dissipated, and the moonlight fell back onto the ground, onto Zheng Fang's headless corpse.
Zheng Fang strangely found that although he didn't even have a head, he was still alive, but his consciousness was still attached to the headless body, and he couldn't move at all.
"Mr. Zheng Fang, Mr. Zheng Fang!" At this time, Tsukimi squatted down, shaking his headless body vigorously, with a look of concern, as if it was not her who had bitten his head just now.
"No, what's wrong!" Zheng Fang sensed that something didn't seem right.
"Is it a dream?" Sensing this, Zheng Fang suddenly "opened" his eyes.
In front of him, Tsukimi's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Mr. Zheng Fang, have you finally woken up?"
"Look at you, it seems like you have a terrible, painful dream? Can you tell me what kind of dream it is? ”
Zheng Fang realized that he had slept on the chair unconsciously, and quickly apologized and sat upright.
"What kind of dream is it?" Tsukimi was wearing a pure white nun's dress like in a dream, and asked curiously.
"I dreamed you ate me!" Zheng Fang thought about it, and said what happened in the dream with a pale face.
"No wonder it's so painful, but Mr. Zheng Fang don't worry! Your taste is appealing to youkai, but as long as you're alive, I won't take your taste for it, no matter how delicious you look! Tsukimi said solemnly.
"Thank you so much." Zheng Fang had no choice but to smile bitterly and thank.
"Let me explain first, Mr. Zheng Fang's dream just now was not my handiwork, it was made by a ghost attached to you just now!" After saying that, Tsukimi looked at the fog in the distance with interest.
"Ghosts? Where is it? Zheng Fang also looked curiously in the direction of Yuejian's line of sight.
But alas, it was empty, there was nothing.
"Mr. Zheng Fang, human beings are invisible." Tsukimi chuckled.
"Oh, that's right." Zheng Fang said regretfully, he still thought there was a ghost. But also, if there were, he should have seen it before, after all, he hadn't been here for a day or two.
"It's four o'clock in the morning, if I don't come all the time, Mr. Zheng Fang won't be prepared to wait forever, right?" Tsukimi asked suddenly.
Looking at Yuejian's pure curiosity and "affectionate" gaze, Zheng Fang looked away uncomfortably and said, "Yuejian won't fail to come!" ”
"So sure!" Tsukimi almost put his face on Zheng Fang's face and asked.
"If it's Tsukimi, I'll definitely come!" Zheng Fang affirmed.
"Why?"
"I believe in you!"
"That's it!" Yuejian regained his calm and indifferent expression and said: "People's hearts are unpredictable, I thought that Mr. Zheng Fang could see through people's hearts, but it turned out that he was just overwhelmed by male hormones. ”
"Maybe, but if it weren't for Tsukimi, I wouldn't believe it." Zheng Fang stared at Tsukimi.
"Really?" Yuejian stared at Zheng Fang, and his eyes seemed to be filled with some kind of luster, which could see through Zheng Fang from ** to his soul.
"If it weren't for Mr. Zheng Fang, this would be just ordinary rhetoric for human men to please women."
"Why?" Yang Fang asked.
"Although I don't have the ability to distinguish between right and wrong like the Fa, the god I worship is a god with the position of a god of wisdom and guardianship, and human beings cannot hide his lies in front of me. Secondly, although I have the cute appearance of a human being, I am a big monster, and my breath cannot make humans have the possibility of estrus at all, and just getting close to me can make human souls collapse in fear. Speaking of this, Tsukimi's face showed a smile like that of a successful prank.
"But Mr. Zheng Fang is different, you are very special, I didn't deliberately bewitch you, but you can't help but be attracted to me"
"Because Tsukimi is so cute." Zheng Fang said subconsciously.
Tsukimi smiled silently and looked at Zheng Fang.
Zheng Fang suddenly thought of the terrifying scene when he first saw Yuejian. Soon, he shook his head again, it was just his hallucination, on the contrary, Tsukimi's idea was very dangerous, maybe one day she would run to some dangerous place, so he hurriedly said: "Even so, Tsukimi you don't want to run to any dangerous place, okay!" A gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall. ”
"Don't worry! Travelers are not adventurers, and our goal is to see the world's most magnificent scenery, not the world's most precious treasures. The most taboo place for travelers is to travel to unpredictable dangers, life is very precious, especially a big monster like me, this is a dead world of life can not be resurrected! Tsukimi said with a smile.
"If it's Tsukimi, for me, that's right." People can't be resurrected after death, so life is precious, but this preciousness is also relative, if it's just an ordinary passerby, Zheng Fang will just sigh.
"Mr. Zheng Fang, you have started to say shameless faux pass to me again." Tsukimi closed one eye and looked sideways at Zheng Fang's playful path with the amethyst-like eyes that had opened.
"Uh" Zheng Fang was a little embarrassed, it was indeed too frivolous to say swear words to a girl who had just met.
"Hehehe, Mr. Zheng Fang's appearance, it's really interesting!" Tsukimi covered his mouth and chuckled, "Before, when I passed by a very peaceful world, I heard a story. ”
"What kind of story?" Zheng Fang breathed a sigh of relief, fortunately, Tsukimi took the initiative to change the topic, otherwise he really didn't know what to do.
"Probably so. In a peaceful town, there lived a beautiful nun, whose pure soul was a treasure to the sun god she worshipped, and who often boasted to them. Presumably, the sun god was afraid that someone in the mortal world would hurt his cherished nun, so he filled the town with the four seasons of sunflowers, so that anyone who entered the place was filled with light and love to protect the nun. The sun god probably wanted the world to be able to appreciate the nun's flawless soul, so he made the nun's beautiful soul appear directly, so that the human eye could see the beauty that the nun could only be appreciated by the gods.
The sun god probably thought that no one in the world should want to hurt such a beautiful thing, and no one should be able to hurt the nuns in the sunflower field, so he fell into a deep sleep with confidence.
Naturally, the nun's name of incomparable beauty gradually resounded in all the surrounding countries.
Suitors flocked to the city, including upright knights, honorable kings, heinous robbers, wealthy merchants, and even angels from the kingdom of God, as well as demons from hell.
However, the nuns were very pious, and although the sun god did not prohibit marriage, she refused them.
But these six people are all heroes, and they are entangled in the nun's side, reluctant to leave.
However, a year, two years, three years, four years passed, and the nun never showed her love to anyone, and the robber could not bear to leave at first.
Then came the merchants, the kings, the demons, the angels, all of whom lost interest in the nuns after the long wait and left one after another.
But there was another man, the upright knight, who had been by the nun's side and pursued her.
In the tenth year, the nun came out of the temple disappointed, because the sun god had not answered her prayers for ten years.
At this time, she finally noticed the knight who had been guarding her side. So I told him about it.
The knight told the nun that there were fierce robbers in the nearby country who were doing evil. In some countries, there is even a year of famine, and the absurd king who says to the victims who come to cry, "If you don't have bread to eat, why don't you eat snacks?" Farther to the East, there were brutal slave city-states ruled by big merchants, and countless people died in the Colosseum every day. In the same far west, there is a dragon that ravages and destroys everywhere, and by now, it has destroyed ninety-nine cities. Not to mention the tormented souls who languish in hell.
The knight believed that perhaps it was because the earth was full of disasters and the people's grievances that caused countless people to pray to the sun god, so that the sun god could no longer hear the nun's prayers.
The nun, who had been living in a field of sunflowers built for her by the sun god, had never known such cruelty in the world, and asked the knight to help the poor people.
The knight says that this is what he should do as a knight, but that he is too lonely, and he hopes that the nun will agree to be his partner.
The nun fell silent for a moment.
The knight didn't say anything, mounted his warhorse, and went away with his sword.
On a warm afternoon, the knight returned, and with a scar and black bloodstains, he carried a head into the nun's temple.
He happily told the nun that he had killed all the robbers in the vicinity, and that the head he was carrying was the head of the robber king, the same robber king who had pursued the nun.
The knight's bloody appearance frightened the nun, and she told the knight that she would only marry the merciful king, and that the knight would never do that.
The knight went away disappointed, and soon after, the nun heard the news of the assassination of the king who had pursued her, and that the new king was a merciful king, and that the people under his rule did not starve to death, and that all the people could live in peace.
On a warm daylit afternoon, the knight, wearing a crown and a purple robe, came to the temple again. He told the nun that he had become a merciful king and proposed to her.
The nun was silent, and then said, "Even if the people under your rule are free of food and clothing, but the world is still full of war-torn people, and my husband must not only be a king, but also a hero of the world. ”
The knight went away again, and soon after, the nun heard that the knight had slain the dragon that had ruled the kingdoms of the west and destroyed ninety-nine cities. In the east, he overthrew the brutal slave city-states, freed all the slaves, and killed all the slave owners and big merchants—including the merchant who had courted the nun, of course.
On another warm afternoon, the weary knight entered the temple and told the nun that he had become a great hero recognized by the whole world, and that even the gods above the Nine Heavens recognized his bravery.
The nun was silent for a moment, then said, "Not really, for example, the demons of hell will not consider you a hero. ”
At this time, it happened to be the news that the Hell Demon was leading a large army to invade and invade this side. When the knight heard this, he set out with a body full of scars and exhaustion.
The knight was extremely valiant, and he led an army of heroes to defeat the demons in front of the sunflower field, but the knight was too tired. He relapsed from his old wounds in the battle with the demons, and eventually died with the demons.
Before he died, the nun walked out of the sunflower field and came to him, but when he asked her if she would marry him, the nun remained silent.
At this time, the trumpet of heaven sounded from above, which was the voice calling the souls of heroes to heaven, and at the same time, angels appeared in heaven to guide the way.
The knight's soul broke away from the **, grew golden wings, and flew towards the door of the kingdom of God.
At this time, the nun, who saw this scene, finally stopped being silent, and shouted to the knight in the sky, expressing her willingness to marry him.
However, to everyone's surprise, the knight who finally heard the nun's response instantly let out a roar that resounded through the sky, and his golden wings also turned into depraved black in an instant, and he angrily threw his sword, assassinating the angel in the sky, and then kept falling to hell.
The nun kept shouting behind her, but the knight stubbornly waved her wings and fell to hell, and at the bottom of hell, the knight finally turned around and looked at the nun with a smile.
The nun remained silent, and then, under the knight's smiling gaze, she followed the knight's trajectory and jumped into hell."
Saying this, Tsukimi suddenly stopped, meditating on his face.
"What's going on in the back?"
