Chapter 14: Humans and Demons
[[[CP|W:440|H:429|A:C|U:http://file1.biquge.info/chapters/20143/29/2197727635317292582463443707106.jpg
The local tyrant Melly doesn't take money as money, because after using it once, it's basically useless the next time, not to mention that she still has a lot of glass products in her bag, which can buy a few cities, but, in order to keep a low profile, Melly doesn't have a special 2 to play, just pay according to the marked price, after all, a person like her should not be too rich, otherwise it will attract unnecessary thoughts from unnecessary people.
Recalling the previous lesson, Mei Li also felt that you can't show your money if you are rich, at least you can't let people know that you are a local tyrant, otherwise it will be bad for a group of people to come around and ask you for tea eggs.
Melly thought about it for a while, and finally decided to take it slowly and methodically, not in a hurry.
I want to enjoy this indulgent time.
"Well, it's very bustling here......" Tamamo looked at the city and sighed, "It's the first time I've seen it in Japan, it's like a second-rate city over there......"
"It's not a compliment, but it's okay." Japan was still very weak at this time, and it was only after the Meiji Restoration that they were really strong, but that was hundreds of years later.
"Okay, come with me, a few of them." The guys in the store are still very enthusiastic to serve a few people, but this wooden inn really doesn't have any atmospheric feeling, and there will be a little damp humidity after entering the room.
Melly looked out the window, fortunately, there was nothing strange outside this location, so there was no strange smell in the room, and overall, it was acceptable Cheng dΓΉ.
Although she was not satisfied, Mei Li nodded reluctantly and said, "Okay, then it's okay here, get us something to eat, and ask for wine." β
"Okay, right away." Saying this, the other party ran away as soon as he slipped away.
She and Yuzao's former mother and daughter are not in the same house, each side has a house, because they have no money, so the current expenditure is paid by Mei Li, she doesn't care about such a small amount of money, but curiously, this fox followed her, is it for the emperor.
Why, the story of Tamamo is not unfamiliar to the Japanese, of course, Renko has also studied it, and Mei Li has to learn a lot of unnecessary knowledge along with it.
However, these things can be of some use now, because this is what Melly wants.
Knowing the ancient history of Japan, it is natural that she will not ignore some of the mythological content.
The history of Japan is often associated with myths, and the world in which you live proves that those stories that you thought were myths in the past are actually preserved.
It's strange that the world is subtly different, but it seems to be exactly the same.
After wiping the stool, Melly sat down as a matter of course, the air in ancient times was very good, fresher than after the purification effect in the future, but hygiene is very problematic, there will be some stinks in various places, this room does not have those strange things, so it is not bad, if there is no moisture, it would be better.
Melly remembers what it felt like to walk through the village as if she were walking through a septic tank.
Anyway, I think I have a new understanding of this era.
For the ancient people, the requirements should not be too high, but if you want to change this era, hygiene, production, superstition, these are all problems that must be expelled.
Of course, the so-called superstition here is not a superstition for abnormal situations, this superstition is aimed at the blind trust of some things that do not exist, such as indiscriminate divination, believing in some elixirs that can be reincarnated, believing in things that should not be believed, which is the so-called superstition.
And seeing is believing, if you can see and prove its existence, then naturally it is not superstition.
For example, in this era, if someone is killed, it is easy to push something to the monster, but in fact, most of the human deaths have nothing to do with the monster, and the monster is innocent, hundreds of kilometers away can lie down with a gun, and then a bunch of people go to crusade.
I was killed without knowing anything, there are actually a lot of such things, and Merry is okay here, and the other sages regard this matter as a big problem.
Although that's actually the case, after all, no youkai would think that it is natural for humans to destroy youkai, they only think that it is natural for them to eat people.
This point of view is very narrow.,But it's not wrong to say it.,Anyway, creatures are interested in things that are beneficial to themselves.,The rule between monsters is that the weak eat the strong.,Powerful monsters tend to be rulers.,And command weak monsters.,For the monsters themselves.,The meat of the monsters is really not delicious.,And few monsters with wisdom will eat each other.,At most, it's just killing each other.γ
Well, just as humans rarely eat their own kind, so do youkai.
"At this point, humans and youkai are the most similar." Of course, neither humans nor youkai think so.
Melly muttered unconsciously, always thinking about something special when she looked out the window alone in a daze.
"What's most like?" Outside the door, Yuzao didn't know when he had already walked up, even if this monster from China was dressed in a turtle clothes, it was still a beautiful thing, right, fortunately, his ability also had an effect on this monster, and it wouldn't make her too eye-catching, otherwise, it would probably have formed a fatal thing.
This ability to reduce people's sense of self-preservation is really a low-key good thing.
"Nothing." Melly pursed her lips, and then said unhappily, "Knock on the door before you come in, isn't China very particular about this kind of etiquette?" β
"I'm sorry, but I never had to make it a habit." Tamamo had lived a reclusive life before she came here, but before that long reclusive life, she had served two kings, and she was the emperor's favorite concubine, saying that she had thousands of faces, and none of them needed to develop the habit of knocking on the door, and she didn't go straight to where she went, except for the emperor's palace, but that should also be announced by someone instead of knocking on the door by herself.
The days of the powerful are really good, and even the door will be opened by someone, which is really enviable.
"Okay, okay." Melly turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" β
Tamamo smiled, and then said with a slight salute: "First of all, I want to thank you for your help to us, if it weren't for you, my injury would probably be a long time before it healed." β
"yes, it's not a big deal." For Melly, it was just a gesture, although it was a waste of a few days...... But,After all, it's also a monster sage.,Tamamo was a big monster in front of him.,If there is such a monster to help in the future.,It's much more convenient for me here.,But historically,,This monster will still die sooner or later......
According to what Hirori said, it's better to have less to do with these guys who are destined to die, because it's no good.
Because it's no good...... No good...... No good.
Hey, Melly sighed, this kind of Boli made it difficult for Melly to say anything directly, but he was right, so Melly didn't want to say anything......
"It's not a small thing for me, thank you very much for your help." Tamamo smiled slightly, then walked over, "Well, it's the first time I've seen a youkai like you...... You seem to be special......"
"Oh, maybe, do you know a lot about Japanese yokai?" Melly asked curiously, as she really didn't believe she would study Japanese yokai.
"No, not much...... We don't pay attention there. Tamamo shook his head, and then said, "Because they say that the youkai here are actually very weak. β
"What...... There seems to be no way to deny this. After seeing Huo Qing'e and hearing about the oriental monsters that the person said, Mei Li also had some understanding, it is said that those powerful immortals can be, those powerful monsters can also be, even gods are strong and weak, how are powerful gods, and how are weak gods.
Some of them are legends, but some of them are genuine, and in general, these groups of Japanese monsters are really not worth looking at.
"Hehe, though, I'm always a little surprised when I see you...... Tamamo said, "Although you don't look very strong now...... Uh, sorry, I didn't mean that. β
"No, it's okay, I know." Melly rolled her eyes, she wasn't so stingy.
"Hehe, anyway...... I feel like there's a lot of potential in you. "I don't know the specifics, but if you go over there, maybe someone will be able to sue you." β
"......" Melly glanced at her, then shook her head helplessly.
She didn't want to go anywhere.
Yes, not going anywhere.
