51: Fragments and Truths
The terrible thought magnified infinitely in his mind, and it was clear that the answer was close at hand, but he still refused to believe it.
"Haven't you always been curious? …… Don't you wonder why you have never seen your mother since you were born, and why your father has never mentioned your mother's identity so often? ”
"Shut up!" Feng Jiechen roared like a beast, "I'll go with you." ”
"When the time comes...... Explain all the things to me again. Feng Jiechen slowly loosened Gongsun Wu's collar, "Let's go." ”
"Hahaha...... Demon Venerable, that's all you have to do. Gongsun Wu smiled smugly, he resisted Feng Jiechen, the demon venerable who suddenly appeared, because he took away his only chance
The only chance to become a demon venerable and let his father approve him.
Now, he finally realized his original uneasiness. No, what he experienced was only a tenth of his own pain, and he wouldn't let go of the wind so easily, never!
Gongsun Wu came to the forbidden place of the demon clan, the Blood Skull Cave, with the wind and dust. A cluster of purple flames lit up in Gongsun Wu's hand, shining on the walls of the grotto, on which was carved a woman, her eyebrows and eyes somewhat similar to Feng Jiechen.
The mural depicts a total of five images. The first picture is of a woman, dressed in a gorgeous black dress with a black veil on her face, and her eyes are shining, as if the stars of the sky were scattered on them.
The second scene shows a tryst between a woman and a man, and the woman is holding a candle to illuminate the man, but the man's face is obscured by long hair.
The third picture is a wedding picture, the woman is wearing a red wedding dress, and next to a man in red, the two are sitting on a new red bed.
In the fourth picture, the two have already given birth to a child, and the woman is holding the infant child and showing a loving smile.
In the fifth screen...... There was no one, only an empty new house, and there were signs of this scorching in the new house.
These five pictures have told a complete story, the wind and dust are silently rubbing the murals, and under the long eyelashes is the grief that is difficult to hide.
Feng Jiechen took a deep breath, he tried to keep himself calm, but he couldn't hide the tremor in his words.
"How do I know it's true, my father said...... My mother died in childbirth when she gave birth to me. ”
"Lord Demon Venerable, do you think these are fake on the murals?" Gongsun Wu laughed.
"Thirty years ago, your mother, the princess of our demon race, fell in love with a human man, who was still a chivalrous man. That man is your father, Feng Tianshao. However, the love between demons and humans is destined to come to fruition, even if your mother gave up her identity as a demon princess with humble and incompetent humans; But your father, do you know what your father did? ”
"Because other people found out about your mother's demon identity, under the pressure of the world, he burned your mother alive! Burn! The kind of burning that gradually consumes the flesh and blood by the flames, how painful it is! ”
"Although we demons opposed your mother's wayward behavior back then, we didn't kill any human beings because of this, what about you? Your father, who set the fire with his own hands, burned your mother to death in the flames! ”
"What did your mother do wrong?! What did we demons do wrong?! We have lived in seclusion for more than 100 years, and we have never provoked a single human, but what about you humans? has been chasing and killing us, we have all let go of killing, why haven't you humans let go yet! Gongsun Wu said that he was excited, his entire eyes were dyed blood, the green tendons on his neck were bursting up, and the long black nails of the demon clan scratched the paintings on the wall, "What about you?" You are wearing the hat of justice and doing morally degraded things, since our demons have been condemned by you to be evil, then our demons will let you humans know what it means to be extremely vicious! ”
Feng Jiechen's eyes widened, Gongsun Wu's words were like sharp blades on his heart, he only knew why now, everyone thought that the demon clan was extinct, and when they thought that the demon clan would never be born again, the demon clan chose to spread the plague to Xi Yi County, because the knights declared that the demon clan was extinct, but they were still chasing and killing the remnants of the demon clan, even if the current demon clan did not kill anyone, even if they wanted to live a peaceful life.
He finally understood why when he asked his father about his mother, his father never said anything, and why his father calmly only used the sentence "difficult birth" to bring his mother's death.
What he thought about some time ago, there is no absolute justice and evil, as long as it harms the interests of others, it will be crowned evil. However, in the past hundred years, the demons have never harmed people to live in seclusion, but the knights have not stopped chasing and killing the demons. They have the title of the demon clan doing evil, but do the demons really do evil? If there is, it's just a grievance from the previous generation! Those demons are dead! What Humanity Is Seeking Now...... It's just the thrill of killing. But they still have to charge the demons with many evils, why?
Just by virtue of, reason and justice are always in the hands of the winner, and now, the demons also understand this truth, so ...... They chose to counter violence with violence.
"You obviously have half of the demon blood in your body, but do you know how you looked at me before you knew all this? Disgust, disgust, the discrimination that comes out of your bones, you've always been like this, always taking what you think you think is true. Gongsun said word for word, and there was no longer the evil spirit in his voice, but only the pain that he couldn't swallow was left.
Only then did Feng Jiechen understand that it turned out that the things that Gongsun had not done before, and his attitude towards himself was not for no reason. He had obviously sensed Gongsun Wu's attitude, but he only attributed it all to Gongsun Wu's bloodline.
He thinks that demons are born like this.
Maybe some demons are like this, born wicked, just like there are naturally wicked people in human beings. But he habitually ignores these, and he mistakenly thinks that all demons are like this.
Gongsun Wu lives in a wrong environment, and he also lives in an environment full of lies, so they are destined to not understand each other.
What about Ye Moli? Did he also impose his self-righteous ideas on Ye Moli.
"I don't know ......" Feng Jiechen can only say this sentence at this time, and this matter can't say who is right and wrong, they just have different positions, and what is wrong is those who are dominated by desire and demons.
"I don't want you to become a Demon Venerable, that would have been my place."
"But my father wants you to become a Demon Venerable, and I have no choice."
"I'm telling you this today, just hoping that you can lead the demons to a better future."
After Gongsun Wu finished saying these words, he gently blew out the lamp and candle, and after taking a deep breath, he walked away without a head.
We all live in pain, it's just what life gives us, that's all.
The wind was in the dark, and there was a flame in his palm, and the light of the flame was very weak, no matter how faint the light of the fire, as long as it could illuminate this road.

Two months later –
After this period of cultivation, I feel a lot stronger. Ye Moli sat cross-legged with his eyes closed and inhaled the source qi.
Now there is no problem in martial arts, the focus is still on the source qi, and the source qi always feels that it can't break through that bottleneck......
Ye Moli opened his eyes, clusters of small water splashes appeared in his hands, small water splashes gathered together, and gradually formed a small water dragon, Ye Moli's hand turned up and down, the water dragon ran towards a row of orchids in the garden, and the water dragon flew over the orchid and dissipated into a small rain, watering on the delicate orchids.
Yu Jiu is not a chivalrous warrior and he can't use the source qi, if only someone accompanied him to practice......
The source qi of the wind and dust is just fire, and it is compatible with his own water source qi, and it should be helpful to both parties when it is practiced, and the effect will be very good, but it is a pity that I can't see him during this time, and I will go to him after a few days and three months.
But I don't know if that guy will agree......... Ahhh It's annoying, it's annoying, I don't want to! Ye Moli let go of the hair that had just been unconsciously krumpled by him, stood up, and planned to eat lunch first, not thinking about those nonsense.
"Little sister." Ye Guiyi appeared behind Ye Moli and called softly.
"Big brother? What's wrong? Ye Moli turned around and found that Ye Guiyi was gently shaking the folding fan, the hair on the sideburns was swaying slightly, and he looked like a gentle and jade-like son.
Ye Mo stared intently at the folding fan in Ye Gui's hand, and asked what he had always wanted to ask, "Big brother, isn't your fan in winter, isn't it cold?" ”
“…… Uh, this, your eldest brother is a martial arts practitioner, his body is very strong, and he doesn't feel cold. ”
"Oh, that's good. Big brother, do you have anything to say? ”
"The national fragment of the Wind Domain Country that the Ye family asked for before, Mu Qiu Kai has found it in the secret room of the treasure house. Your three-month cultivation time is also coming up, and this time it will end early, so you can go and get the fragments first. ”
"But...... Why me? Isn't this what the Ye family wants? Ye Moli was a little puzzled, she had no interest in the fragments of the country.
"That shard ......"
Ye Gui bit his lip consciously, his eyes wandering, "There are some things that you should know." The fragments of the goddess scattered in the nine countries back then are actually the fragments of the goddess's memory, and in the history recorded back then, there are actually many details that we don't know, and only by getting the fragments of the memories of each country can we know everything. At present, only our Ye family knows the role of the fragment, and only women can receive the information in the fragment. ”
"Then the Ye family is not just a girl for me, right? There is no woman among the people who are separated? "Ye Moli is already surprised by this kind of heavy news, the Ye family has the most complete and largest information network in the whole world, so they know a lot, and Ye Guiyi, as the young master, Ye Moli as her sister, I don't know what strange news.
"Yes, there is, but in terms of physical fitness, you are the only one who can carry that power."
“…… I know. Ye Moli finally understood why Ye Guiyi was so anxious to strengthen his body a while ago, it turned out to be this use.
Family...... The tool may have more ingredients.
"I see." Ye Moli's eyes darkened, I will go into the palace to get the fragments later, and I will also find a way to get the fragments from other countries.
Ye Guiyi pursed his lips and smiled, "It's worthy of being my good sister." ”
