Volume 1: Huangquan December Chapter 249: Rebellion with Will
The flickering light of the fire illuminated a clearing. They sat in a circle around the campfire, and Ye Yuejun sat on the highest stone. The night was quiet, so quiet that no insects could be heard, except for the occasional crackling sound of the campfire.
"What's wrong with them?" Mu Wan was very concerned about this issue, "Takimiao is still here, right?" What happened to him? ”
Dai Luan asked, "Also, whose land does it belong to...... People and monsters rushed around, and they didn't say why. ”
Ye Yuejun's eyes were very empty, she looked into the distance, and her deep gaze could hardly even reflect the bonfire.
"It's not good. This Cuiping Beach is so big, it could have allowed the two to coexist. After the end of the god-killing war that shocked the world hundreds of years ago, under the influence of the demon bird Garuda, the yokai of the bird clan were persecuted by humans, and I brought the only remaining descendants of the bird demon to this distant place. At that time, human beings had not yet conquered the territory here, and only a few extremely few families lived here in solitude. Later, people discovered roselle sand and its medicinal properties - in addition to clearing the plague and detoxifying, it can also soothe people's hearts, because it has a trace of hallucinogenic effect, which can make people have beautiful dreams. After the circulation of roselle sand to the densely populated cities, more people developed and established homes here under the instruction of the imperial court. At that time, the conflict between people and the demon clan slowly appeared. ”
"So in the beginning it was no man's land." Mu Wan was thoughtful.
"Anywhere starts out as no man's land." Shanhai said, "So later, do the bird demons want to take back the territory?" ”
"At first, the birds retreated again and again, because they were afraid of humans in their bones. Those who survived were survivors of the unrestrained culling of humans in the past. But as time passed, they finally had no way back. Territory, trees, water sources, food, everything has been compressed to the limit, but the demons who had settled down before have recovered to a certain number. Forced to be in a hurry, they finally began to resist. People are already prejudiced against youkai, and the monsters' weak intimidation and futile peace talks have all been beaten back. Later, Cangyu's father organized a long-standing rebellion against the monsters, which was quite effective at first, and then people invited an onmyoji to get rid of him and some of the most troublesome monsters. Before he died, he cursed the land, causing all living beings living in it to die of illness - whether human or demon. ”
“…… It's really a jade burn. Shi Wuqi shook his head.
"Why do you want to go with the demon clan?"
Dai Luan asked. Shanhai said: "Curses often come with a price, only a condition that is beneficial to oneself, no matter how deep the demonic power is, it can't be done." The one who issues the curse will always pay for his life. Presumably, his father was sure that he would die, and he had no choice but to make this decision. ”
"There are very few youkai in history who can survive even if they have a curse." Shi Wuqi added.
"Can people?" Out of pure curiosity, Mu Wan asked.
"Maybe, but almost never heard of. What's more, a person who can do this, in the eyes of human beings, I am afraid that the situation and his spiritual power are also inhuman. ”
Shanhai shook his head and sighed, turning his gaze from the grass beach to the campfire. The light of the fire flickered incessantly under the never-ending breeze of the night, as if it were silently telling something.
"Then you must have a lot of weight in your words among them, right?" Dai Luan asked, "After all, you brought their ancestors to escape here." ”
"No...... There used to be, and now there isn't. ”
Mu Wan was puzzled, but felt that this could be explained: "Because you no longer have demonic nature as an adult, they don't believe that you will speak for them?" ”
"No, I was already human at that time. As a member of the Demon Clan, they believed I could speak to the Lord. I'm not afraid of your jokes, but I have not long been a member of the Six Realms of Impermanence, and I have a short-term relationship with a human being. After that, I slowly lost the trust of the youkai. Even though I really wanted to help them countless times, ...... And not very convincing. ”
Shanhai comforted her: "It's understandable. But...... Isn't Frost Moon-kun in charge of this? ”
"Frost Moon will only judge if he is a devastating threat to humanity...... If it was to cause harm to himself and his people, he did not need to intervene. Presumably, the adult arranged for him to deal with it, and he was more willing to let the demon clan regulate themselves. If I interfere in this matter, I will have to arrest either side, and I will ...... Not necessarily catchable. ”
"There are all kinds of people in December in Yellow Springs." Shanhai said, "It's good that you're like this, but if you're all like you, maybe it's not a good thing." ”
"Hahahaha, huh? I used to be very partial to youkai. Ye Yuejun smiled weakly, "It's not cold lately, it's just that I'm wondering, in my bones, have I already recognized that I am a human being?" I shouldn't have forgotten my roots, but I often reflected on my 'why', and I clearly never questioned my position. ”
"Do what you want to do, do what you feel is right......"
Dai Luan muttered softly, brushing her hands over the broken dust around her waist. What Shui Wujun had said to Yun Ge, she still remembered it vividly. Ye Yuejun looked at the sword in her hand and shook her head slightly.
"There are vacancies in Huangquan in December......"
"Soon there will be new Yingyue-kun and Shuiwu-kun." Shi Wuqi said lightly, "Nowadays, the number of humans and demons is getting more and more, and the matter of ghosts and gods is becoming more and more complicated. Yama Demon is not willing to give up any labor. ”
"Yayoi ...... Giving him up was the last act of the adult. It has been given enough time, enough opportunities, and enough lives. But he still doesn't change his life, which makes it difficult to do. It's just a matter of Shui Wujun, indeed, none of us could have imagined that he would make such a choice. The human heart is so complex that I can't understand it to this day. ”
When Ye Yuejun said these words, his eyes kept looking at Dai Luan. Dai Luan knew that she was trying to find the shadow of the previous Immortal Moon Monarch from her. They may be very similar, Ye Yuejun and Shui Wujun both know that she is not a projection of the Red Xuanqing Girl, nor is she a product of the influence of a part of her soul, but an independent personality. If it is a coincidence or accident, it is insignificant, and the difference between the two is obvious to all. It's just that Ye Yuejun came out, Shui Wujun didn't, he was willing to stick inside.
Shi Wuqi never forgets his purpose. Especially Cangyu's words just now, he sensed that something was wrong. He took the opportunity to ask Ye Yuejun and said:
"Do they have anything that only humans can use? Cangyu seems to mention that there is something that Takimiao can use instinctively, but what went wrong? ”
Ye Yuejun took a deep breath. The cold air filled her body, calming her down a little.
"That's right. They snatched a treasure from a human and wanted to use it to dispel the curse of the land. They have nowhere else to go but to inhabit such places. ”
"Treasures? What kind of treasure is it? ”
"Legend has it that one of the seven artifacts that can neutralize miasma, cleanse away evil, chase away all evils, drive away evil spirits, overturn yin and yang, and replace virtual reality and wake up dreams, is an incense burner."
"Incense burner?" Shi Wuqi stood up suddenly. The others were also shocked, and Dai Luan asked, "Is it Qian's wife?" ”
"Yes...... Originally, it was one of the eight artifacts of the Eight Gods, but one of them was destroyed by Kan Mujun and the Evil God. The remaining seven materials passed down to human beings, and some of them were processed into something extraordinary. The incense burner is sterling silver, and unlike ordinary silver, it never rusts and fades. People wanted to use this property to melt it and reforge it for something else, but it couldn't melt either. ”
Shanhai frowned slightly: "This thing, only humans can use ......?" ”
"Yes. Only Qianmin and people can use it. ”
"Isn't it an evil god? How can you make something that humans can use. ”
Faced with Dai Luan's question, Ye Yuejun shook her head and said seriously:
"You know what? Now in the eyes of many people, Shen Wujun is actually a big devil. ”
"Huh?" Dai Luan was very surprised, "Really? No wonder Ruyue-kun asked me what I thought of him at the time......"
"Well, that's right. You have a good impression of him because you have told you about the impermanence of these things and know the truth of the matter. Even after hundreds of years of clarification, many still believe that it is the faith of the people of the South who is destroying the gods without kings. ”
“…… I've heard of it. Shi Wuqi said with emotion, "Indeed, many people think that Shen Wujun slaughtered the real gods, and it was the adult who accepted him, so that he did not let him do evil and harm the world." ”
Mu Wan was a little unconvinced: "What is the weakness of this group of people?" He doesn't care about the people who kill all gods and demons, and he really thinks too much about what they can see. ”
Ye Yuejun smiled bitterly: "It's not bad that you can think like this. The world is too big, there are too many people, and the words are passed on by people and spoken by people, and this content has always been manipulated in the direction of profit for the transmitter. Right and wrong are all reversed in a few words. I said, "Ah, think about it again." Why should people be able to use things that can be used by demon gods and evil gods? ”
“…… To make people feel closer to God, to take advantage of human conceit? ”
"Well, you're not wrong to think so. That kind of thing is not a treasure in my eyes, but an evil thing that disturbs people's minds. It exists to produce trouble...... Takimiao is a half-human, half-demon, in the eyes of Cangyu, they may be able to control it and use it for demons. But the kid ...... There is no good past, and it will soon be used by demon weapons. He was not really recognized by his people, and there was no home for him in the world, so he ...... He's crazy. ”
This is embarrassing news. Shanhai tentatively asked:
"You want to save him?"
"I want to save a lot of people." Ye Yuejun showed a pale smile, "I noticed that you were coming and brought a letter to Xue Yan Valley. I couldn't take Mo Liang's knife with me, and I had no reason to persuade him to come with me. Now that Mu Wan is here, maybe he would like to see me. I will never be sorry for him, and I must atone for it. ”
"He won't hate you." Dai Luan said.
"But I hate myself."
