Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 180: Pondering and Speaking
"Frost Moon-kun?"
Just by listening to the name, you know that this is the six realms of impermanence. Takimiao looked at him and said nothing. To this day, he didn't have the slightest intention of accepting Cangyu, and that guy had an indescribable arrogance, which was especially evident when he faced humans.
"Yes, Frost Moon-kun." Although it was far away, Cangyu still bent down and said to Kapok like a child, "This brother of yours hasn't been home for a long time." Help me persuade him to return with me to the house where my people live. What does it look like to mingle with humans every day? β
Kapok didn't know how to answer, but simply wanted to refute. But when she heard this, it made sense from the perspective of being an older brother, and she couldn't figure it out with her little brain. Mu Wan's face darkened, and his tone was still very unceremonious:
"If you want to be a human or a monster, you don't count. It's up to him what he thinks. β
"Yo, you're worrying too much...... Humans don't get involved in demon things. Cangyu fanned horizontally, "Otherwise, I'm not welcome to you." If it weren't for watching you speak for Takimiao, I would have done it a long time ago. β
Tengu shook his head suddenly, shifting his gaze in the direction behind her. It stands to reason that at this time, it shouldn't be attracted by something. It's just that when it came like this, Mu Wan also moved his gaze back slightly. The eyes had not seen anything, but the ears heard extremely small sounds.
There are people on the roof in the rear, there must be.
She looked back, and Takimiao and Kapok also looked back. There were really people standing on the roof, and this time even Kapok didn't notice it. This perspective can only be seen by Cangyu, but his eyes have not glanced there. Takimiao was not stupid, he had already guessed that the man with his sleeves, who looked tall and thin, and whose face was a little contemptuous should be the Frost Moon Jun in Cangyu's mouth.
He stood on the roof, his jaw slightly raised, his eyes should have looked at the sky, but he moved his eyes down, and his dark pupils looked at them vacantly like two holes. Not to mention that Kapok was startled, even Takimiao shuddered. If it weren't for the tengu's keen hearing, they might not have noticed that there was a person on the roof until now.
"Huh? See what I'm doing? β
Frost Moon-kun's white frost-stained feathers, wide hems, and long lead-gray hair were all gently swaying in the breeze. His expression was cold, and his tone was cold.
"Go on?" He then said, "Aren't you going to fight? β
"Who's going to fight?" Mu Wan was a little angry again, "It's you, dereliction of duty, I didn't see you do something practical." β
Frost Moon Jun tilted his head, frowned, and raised it slightly. He let out a contemptuous sneer and said:
"You escaped death from Qinglian Town, how can you not grow at all compared to the last time you met? It is not polite to be derelict in a casual definition. What the adult meant, he only needs to let this half-demon friend make his own choice. If he wants to be a human being, let him devote himself to cultivation; If he wants to be a demon, let him go. β
"Wait......" Taki Miao felt strange, "But, but last time Jiyue-kun and Yeyue-kun, didn't they say that they would help me become an adult?" I thought you were impermanent, and I wanted me to live as a true human being. β
"Our six realms of impermanenceβ" Frost Moon Jun sighed for a long time, "Hey, our six realms of impermanence, and our words don't count." Twelve people, unifying twelve opinions, is more difficult than ascending to the sky. Who is not doing what the Lord wills? And the Adult didn't say anything to interfere with your choices and make you human...... It's the wishful thinking of those two guys. β
Cangyu probably knew about it. He looked at the men defiantly, but said softly:
"That's the way it is, you're afraid you've deceived those two. It's still Lord Frost Moon who understands righteousness. So, what kind of choice are you going to make? Do you want to do what those two selfish ghosts wish, or do you really think about it......"
"Ahh Frost Moon Jun suddenly interrupted, "But, what I'm trying to say is...... Whether you become a human or a monster, if you do something heinous, such as killing too many people...... Nor can we sit idly by. That's what the Lord meant, as long as there is an impermanence ghost, he is responsible for the choices you make. I tell you so bluntly, and I don't expect you to be obedient and not cause trouble, but I don't bother to explain more, so I'll figure it out for myself. β
Kapok looked at Takimiao, who looked bad, and then at Frost Moon-kun, who was calm. The latter was probably really panicked, and actually stretched out his hand and picked up his nails with one hand. She asked him aloud:
"Then if he becomes a human and kills someone, does that also count?"
"Nonsense." Frost Moon Jun rolled her eyes, "Before that adult is to blame, beheading him in advance can be regarded as being responsible for the mission, and he does not need to be punished." I'm very clear, as for how to choose, let him see for himself. β
Kapok scratched his head. She always felt that things were not as simple as she thought, but in fact, there was no need to be complicated for her. She looked at Takimiao again and said, "Then what do you think now?" β
"I ...... I don't know. I just want to do what I want. β
"What do you want to do?" Mu Wan asked.
"Live well. If...... That's what it does. β
Kapok crossed his waist with care, as stern as a little teacher. She said to Takimiao solemnly:
"Why doesn't it count? Does a monster have to become a world-famous demon to be considered a success? It's not easy for many youkai to survive just by being serious. Unpretentious ideals, nothing to laugh at. β
Mu Wan echoed: "Being a man is too. It's not that you have to be a high-ranking official, you have to have fine clothes and food, you have to do what you want to do. In times of war, it is a great gift for ordinary people to have enough to fill their stomachs. In today's peaceful and prosperous world, there are not a few people who have such a plain wish. I also feel that you don't have to feel humbled by your wish. β
"What are you talking about?" Cang Yu was unhappy again, "I said a few times, don't mind other people's housework." β
His eyes became alert, like egrets foraging in the shallows. While carefully searching for prey, he is cautious about predators. If he wanted to fight, Mu Wan would accompany him at any time, but he didn't know which side the martial arts martial arts Frost Moon Jun was on.
Or, he doesn't care about anything at all, he just wants to watch the play.
What exactly does he want?
"You're weird." Kapok looked at Cangyu, and then at Mu Wan, "Actually, I'm just taking our monsters as an example." But why, Takimiao can't be a half-demon - he is himself, why should he make any changes in order to cater to anyone. β
"Half-demons are not stable." Frost Moon Jun said coldly, "The inner thoughts, and the true power, are all wavering. Sometimes your own abilities are not enough to match your wishes, and at this time, it is easy to feel lost, angry, or even kill for no reason because of frustration. If I could, I certainly hope he makes his own choice. β
Mu Wan took a deep breath and was a little concerned about this matter. She looked at Taki Miao repeatedly, and felt that no matter how he looked at it, he was just an ordinary person. And these two sides are so aggressive, if she herself is not happy.
"Okay, what's the noise? Takimiao, let me ask you, as a half-demon, is it really not good? β
"Nothing can't be done." Although Takimiao was not sure of his final thoughts, he was more far-sighted than he was at first, "I knew that I needed a sense of belonging. As a human being, I have experienced all kinds of things in a short period of time, both good and bad, good and bad, but this does not affect my choice. On the contrary, I would like to thank Jiyue-kun and Hazuki-kun when the time comes...... And to become a youkai, the reason I don't want to do this is because I am afraid that I will also be assimilated, and under the control of my instincts, I will do what I don't want to do. β
"Isn't it also instinct to get sick and die at work?" Cangyu began to understand.
"Long, useless boring hours are not tempting to me." Takimiao replied indifferently, "My short and rich life is probably more appealing to me. Although life will inevitably be less convenient, at the same time, human beings are also creating convenience for themselves. β
Mu Wan looked at him seriously.
"If it's you, as a half-demon...... Maybe it's possible. β
"What?" Takimiao was puzzled.
"I mean, maybe you can maintain that balance."
With that, she raised her head again and looked at the six impermanences with a cold face. She shouted:
"If I am willing to guarantee that this half-demon will never do bad things in his life, what are your plans for the six realms of impermanence?"
"Huh. What if he did? β
"When I'm alive, I can take responsibility for him. It doesn't matter if it's a punishment or a scolding. β
Takimiao hurriedly grabbed her.
"Are you crazy? No matter what you say, the half-demon has a much longer lifespan than a normal person. If you die, who shall I believe? β
"Yourself." Mu Wan blurted out, "My father taught me since I was a child to live on my own. β
Frost Moon Jun stared at them with a stiff expression, wondering if he was seriously considering it. Cangyu was a little worried. After all, he came with Frost Moon Jun at the beginning, and he said some messy trivial things on the way. If his younger brother was really moved by these two sentences, and he forcibly "corrected" something to Takimiao, Frost Moon Jun would naturally be unkind to him.
"You...... Is it convincing? β
"What?" Mu Wan didn't hear the meaning of Frost Moon Jun's words.
"You've touched the water of the lotus pond, right? It will expose you to the sins of your life, including the bad things of the future that you haven't done yetβah, of course, you're a lot cleaner than the average charlatan. β
"What do you mean by that?"
Mu Wan didn't question, he really didn't understand. But when the other party said this, she felt that it was very important.
"There is a mark on the back of your neck, which is proof of the sins left by the lotus pond. Can you be responsible for a half-demon like this? Sounds ridiculous. β
Mu Wan felt a hint of trepidation. She ruffled her hair and asked Kapok:
"Look, do I have anything behind here?"
"There's a piece of reddened skin, is it a birthmark?" "But the skin on it is tender and rough...... Oh, how to put it, it's like burning a piece of skin. β
First, a strong sense of dismay enveloped her.
"I don't know, I ...... Maybe there's a ...... somewhere else in me But, how so? Damn ......"
"Ah, you don't have anywhere else." Frost Moon Jun tilted his head to the other side, "The eyes of the six impermanences can discern it. β
Mu Wan was furious for a moment. But she quickly calmed down, one of which was that the occasion did not allow it, and it was useless to make trouble; Second, there is a sense of relief, she has probably spent an ordinary life. She only had a headache about the mark, although she couldn't usually see it, but the woman left such a scar, it still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
"So, convince me." Frost Moon said.
