Chapter 11: A Long Separation in the World (Part II)
In the fifth year of Jingyou in the Northern Song Dynasty, on the official road outside Gusu City, a man and a woman were riding horses and running towards the west.
With a casual smile on his face, the man said to the weak-looking woman in front of him while driving the horse: "Ah Li, if you are tired of riding, just tell me, we can sit on a horse." β
"Perverted. The woman turned back and cursed, but her face was already red with shame, and she whipped the horse's buttocks with a whip so that the man would not find out.
The two of them didn't know how long they had been riding, but it was already dark, and the man looked at an inn in front of him, and stopped with the woman, ready to rest for the night before leaving.
Ye Yu asked the boss to warm a pot of old wine, sat by the window in the middle, and teased Liu Jiuli with a hippie smile: "Ah Li, can you not always frown, we still have to think about revenge in the long run." I can't eat hot tofu in a hurry, that dead Taoist priest is not easy to deal with. Besides, none of us are human beings, and we have more than just a few decades of lifespan, so don't worry. β
"The enmity of parents, how can we not be in a hurry?Brother Ye family, how should we start?" Ye Jiuli lowered his head and took a sip of wine, but he immediately choked and coughed again and again.
Ye Yu shook his head with a smile and said, "Look, you have been living in this world for more than ten years, and you can't even drink it." β
"How not, I just choked. Liu Jiuli hurriedly retorted.
Ye Yu shook the folding fan, like a playboy, and drank it all with his wine glass. "Okay, Ah Li, I won't tease you, let's get down to business. I bribed Lao Yang to know some old things. He told me a lot about that Taoist priest, and maybe it was very helpful to us. β
"You say. Liu Jiuli's eyes were blazing, and he was about to burst into flames.
Ye Yu poured another glass of wine and took a sip before saying slowly: "That Taoist priest's original name was Niu Anhuai, and he was a Lingnan person. He was originally a scholar, and he had already been admitted to the Jinshi. It was a promising future and a good future, but as a result, I met a fireworks woman in a green building, and I lost all my money, and I didn't even want a future in order to linger with that woman. But the woman didn't like him, but fell in love with a youkai and married the youkai. β
Liu Jiuli frowned and asked puzzledly: "In this way, that Taoist priest is originally a love species. But who is that you're talking about, and what does this have to do with my family?"
Ye Yu sighed and said slowly: "Silly girl, that woman is your mother, and that monster is your father." β
Liu Jiuli showed a shocked expression and said in an unbelievable tone: "How is it possible, how can my mother be a fireworks woman? β
Ye Yu continued to take a sip of wine and said, "Don't worry, listen to me talk to you slowly." Niu Anhuai is simple-minded, stubborn by nature, and always thinks that black is black and white is white. Your mother rejected him many times, but he always thought that as long as your mother didn't fall in love with your father, she would definitely fall in love with him. He thought that if he killed the demon, no one would come to snatch your mother, which was really naΓ―ve. Ah Li, but do you know why the love between humans and demons is written into the playbook? Because it is too rare, it seems to be lacking. In this vast world, only a few youkai fall in love with humans. Your mother and your father are the majority. He seemed to think of something again, and then said, "Your mother is a thousand-year-old willow demon, the willow tree is charming, extremely beautiful, very lively, the dance of the mortal world tempts your mother, so he went to the extremely lively and prosperous fireworks land, and became the most prestigious dancing girl at that time - Liu Yan." Hey, Niu Ankui fell in love with Liu Yan and gave everything he had, but Liu Yan really loved the same willow demon as her, which is really interesting. β
Ah Li couldn't understand why his mother, who looked gentle and simple, had such a past. Her mother obviously doesn't like to dance, how can it beγγγγγ Dancing Queen?
Ye Yu saw that she was silent, and then said: "Later, that Niu Anhuai somehow knew that your father was a willow demon, so he was bent on getting rid of your father, thinking that he would be able to be with your mother in this way." Coincidentally, the Taoist priest met a demon and taught him a lot of Taoist methods, plus this Niu Anhuai is extremely talented, and in a few years, he has become a Taoist priest who excludes demons and exorcises evil spirits. β
"And then?" Liu Jiuli asked.
Ye Yu drank wine, "Your father and mother have practiced for thousands of years, and it stands to reason that these little Taoist priests' techniques are helpless." But guess what, in order to improve his Taoism, the Taoist priest actually used the demon spirit of the monster to improve his ability, and this stinky Taoist priest also did everything that hurt the heavens and reason. Later, your father and mother found a way and came to Gusu silently. My father and your father used to be old friends, so he took you in, made an enchantment for you, and hid the demonic energy on your body, so that you could not be discovered by the Taoist priest. For more than 100 years, your father and mother have liked the worldly life, living in the world like an earthly husband and wife, living an ordinary life. You see, even you don't know that you are a demon. Originally, your father and mother thought that Niu Anhuai had already died, but the Taoist priest had already cultivated into the demon way, and for some reason last year, he actually found Gusu, and your father and mother found his breath in advance, so they decided not to implicate the demon spirit on this side anymore, and they wanted to fight him to the death. When you come to my house to deliver a letter, the content of the letter is: Protect my daughter, don't read it. β
After hearing this, Liu Jiuli was already in tears.
How can someone want to ruin other people's families because of their own lust and because they can't get what they want?
