However, absolutely not, Shi Liang said this because Shi Liang thought so.

Donglin was a little curious and asked him: "Speaking of which, the books you read are very miscellaneous, and there doesn't seem to be any fixed type, are you very 'fraternal'?" ”

Shi Youliang thought for a while and told Donglin: "Probably because others read books because they want to study a certain field, such as a major, the books they read must be related to mathematics, and the books they read for biology majors must be related to biology."

I'm different, I'm not going to study anything, I don't want to study anything, I read books because I like to read books, I like the stories in the books, and I like the people in the stories. That's all. ”

Dong Lin glanced at him and didn't say anything more.

Anyway, Shi Liang always has his own answers, and it is useless for others to say anything.

It's just that for Donglin, from the perspective of an admirer of childhood sweethearts, she hopes that Shi Liang can make some changes. Women like heroes, and Donglin is no exception, if she can, she hopes that Shi Youliang can become a hero in her mind.

Of course, this is destined to be just her beautiful expectations, Shi Youliang may have the ability to become a hero, but he will never be a hero, for Shi Youliang, plain and quiet is the life he wants.

Dong Lin knew, so this thought always just flashed through her mind.

Dong Lin exhaled, got up and stroked the nine-tailed fox, the stroking hand suddenly stopped, and said in surprise: "This is not a nine-tailed fox, it has ten tails." Is there a mistake? This man is really irresponsible. ”

Shi Youliang told Donglin: "It's not that it's wrong, it's that it originally had ten tails, and in the legend, this is a ten-tailed fox demon." ”

Regarding the legend of the ten-tailed demon fox, Donglin had never heard of it, so he counted it again, determined that it was ten-tailed, and asked Shi Youyou: "Why?" Didn't the nine-tailed fox give birth to nine tails and ascend to immortality? ”

Shi Youliang recalled this story a little and told Dong Lin: "This is indeed the case in common mythological stories, but although this mythological story is very old, it is something like folklore, and it may be more inclined to secular 'truth' than mythology."

In the story, the little fox falls in love with his master. However, how could the master who penetrated the way of heaven and flew out of the Five Elements and Three Realms have such a worldly thing as love, so in the end, the master went to the outer heavens and continued to pursue his own way in the endless void, while the little fox stayed in the Three Realms because his cultivation was not smart enough.

However, her obsession was too deep, even if her cultivation had far surpassed that of ordinary immortals, and could even be compared to the highest cultivation of the Three Qing Dao Monarchs, but she did not feather and soar, but gave birth to another one in addition to the nine tails.

The last tail of the ten-tailed demon fox, called obsession, is the little fox's obsession with the master, also known as eternity, which is destined for the little fox to wait for eternity, and is also destined to be fruitless for eternity. ”

Dong Lin's hand stroking the fox demon suddenly stopped, and he felt some feelings in his heart, touched by the unfortunate fate of the little fox, and sighed: "What a sad story." ”

Shi Liang also put his hand on the fox demon, but he didn't feel sad, Shi Liang said, "Really? I don't feel sad, I think it's a very poignant story, although it ends in a happy ending, but the people in the story get what they want.

The master has the way he is seeking, and he follows the way to the outer heavens. The little fox has the eternity it seeks, and it waits eternally in this time and space. Some people may say: It is too tragic for those who can't wait to wait for eternity. However, this eternal obsession is what it imposes on itself, so this eternity must be the result it wants. ”

"However, since I am moved, I definitely still want to be with Dongfang."

Donglin couldn't praise the good opinion at the same time, she also said seriously from the perspective of an unrequited person: "If you love someone, you must want to be with him, although eternal waiting is the choice of the little fox, but the reason why the little fox has such a choice must be because he can't let go no matter what." I must have waited with the hope that one day the willows will bloom. ”

Shi Liang nodded and looked into the fox's eyes. Although it is only a statue, it is extremely delicate, as if it is alive, and its eyes reveal the expectation of this world, expecting that the owner will one day return from the outside of heaven and embrace it into his arms.

However, when it chose to stick to this obsession, it must have known, and the result was already certain, its owner would not return, and no one knew what it was like to be outside the sky. How big the void is, no one knows. It is already known about this result, and then the obsession is chosen. ”

"No, it must have expectations, expecting its master to return from the outer heavens." Donglin said this firmly, and told Shi Yu even more firmly: "It must be yes, this is what I said, it will not be wrong." ”

Shi Youliang understood what Donglin meant, and he didn't fight with her. Donglin said: "Let's look at something else, this mythical house is very interesting." Each sculpture inside is inspired by a unique myth and legend, and it is said that the author of the House of Myths is an artist of folk myths, and this House of Myths is his crowning work. ”

Dong Lin nodded and continued to walk in the mythical house, probably because the story of the fox demon made her feel a little bitter, and she didn't take the myths and legends behind her seriously.

This mythical house is very big, and I can't say how big it is, but there are many animals and characters in the various myths and legends displayed in it, although Donglin didn't count them one by one, but when he turned around, it was estimated that there were two or three hundred.

Most of them are unknown to Donglin, a fox with ten tails, a turtle with three heads, and a cow with a big nose ring, although there are introductions to various myths on it, but as Shi Liang said, the creator of this mythical house is a folk character, and most of his works are remote myths and legends.

Among these myths and legends, some are leading people to goodness, and there are also dark legends, such as the woman holding three swords in her hand in front of Dong Lin. It is said that this is a woman with the power of reincarnation, and she can introduce her soul into reincarnation and rebirth without going through the Underworld Judge and the King of Yama. And the soul that has passed through her guidance, because they didn't drink Meng Po soup, still carries the memories of their previous lives.

Therefore, many people who do not want to forget this life pray to her, hoping that she will be guided by her to enter samsara and continue to inherit everything she has in this life in the next life.

When the heavenly court and the underworld learned of her existence, they ordered her to submit, but she refused. So it triggered a situation where heaven and earth jointly crusaded against her.

In a country called the Capital of Weishui, the pursuers of Heaven and the Underworld had a great battle with her. The war lasted for a thousand years, and the capital of Weishui was reduced to ruins due to the battle between the three sides. And the people who once lived in the city of no water did not want to die because they died in vain, so they turned into a sharp sword.

The sword was in the woman's hand, and she used it to massacre the pursuers of Heaven and Earth, killing all their pursuers.

However, the matter did not end with the woman's victory, and the pursuers of the heavenly court and the underworld also turned into sharp swords. No matter where she goes, she always pursues and kills her, preventing her from having time to guide the reincarnation of the undead.

Later, in a place called the wilderness, the woman encounters her life's greatest enemy, a ghost who has spent countless years in the wilderness. He begged the woman to introduce him to samsara, and threatened that if the woman did not introduce him into samsara, he would eat the woman, along with her soul.

Of course, the undead and the woman also had four fights, which were greater than the deathfights with the pursuers of Heaven and Earth. This time, the woman was completely at a disadvantage and was chased and beaten by the undead.

I don't know how long it took, but the woman finally became exhausted, and she was left to lie on the ground and face the undead who had taken her life.

And at this moment, the two swords of heaven and earth made a deal with her: if she was willing to stay in the wilderness forever, they were willing to help her retreat from the enemy. The woman at the end of her rope had no choice but to agree to the two swords of heaven and earth.

The woman has the power of the three swords of heaven, earth and man, and successfully repels the undead.

So, in the legends that followed, she was armed with three swords.

Although this is a small myth, the story sounds a little interesting. Dong Lin asked Shi Youyou: "Have you read this story?" ”

Shi Youliang said: "I have seen it, it's not the type you like, at the end of the story, the woman is not returning to the world, she is forever left in the wilderness, accompanied by only three swords, and the sinful soul who is occasionally exiled." ”

"It's really a pity!"

Dong Lin sighed like this, looking at this woman's eyes, she seemed to see her loneliness. Perhaps this is the sense of unity, the heartfelt pity of a young woman for another legendary woman.

Although they are no longer at the same point in time or in the same space, Donglin can really feel her loneliness and helplessness.

Of course, Donglin doesn't feel sad, because the hero of the story is not herself, so regret is the only emotional outpouring she will have.

Seeing some tragic stories in a row, Donglin also became sad, and asked: "This mythical house should be called the tragic story house." ”

Shi Youliang knew that Dong Lin's heart was being touched by these legends, and led her to a nine-tailed cat demon statue: "It's not all tragic stories, it's just that most of the stories end in tragedy." ”

This cat demon, Dong Lin doesn't know either. In other words, in the mythical story of Donglin's time, there is no cat demon. Of course, the cat appeared too late, it appeared at the end of the mythological story, and it naturally cannot become the protagonist of those systematic mythological stories.
