Chapter 00038 Nine-Tailed Demon King
The doors of the six doors were closed, and there were two guards at the door, which looked like new ones, which I didn't recognize.
The original prefect and county government now only Yao Yimei lives alone, and I don't know where the remaining three people live. Speaking of which, except for Feng Xiaozhi, there are two others that I haven't seen.
I showed the token to the guard, and the guard just looked at the token and let me in.
I don't know if it's because the guards here have always been so loose or if the token Yao taunted me was too important.
The courtyard was still deserted, and there were no handymen or servants.
There was no one in the main hall, so I followed the smell and went to the backyard. Now my sense of smell is more sensitive than before, although I don't know what demonic energy is.
But I have smelled the strange fragrance on Yao Xiaomei's body.
When I came to the backyard, I saw two black cats lying under the eaves basking in the sun, one with only one tail and the other with five. I could clearly see the scars on its severed tail.
And the color of Yao's mocking eyes seems to have returned to the pale orange color of a normal black cat.
Ying'er and Yao Xiaomei were huddled together, squinting, and their stomachs swooped together with their breathing, looking quite cute.
I walked over and coughed lightly twice, and bowed, "I've seen Master Yao." ”
Yao opened her eyes and glanced at me, stretched, stood up and shook her body twice, "Woke up?" ”
I nodded slightly, "I just woke up, and I've been in a coma for ten days." I heard something happened to Six Doors? ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just a sneak attack."
"The black-robed man?"
"The Yinliang clan." Yao taunted her beard twice.
When I heard the name, I couldn't help but frown. The Yinliang clan was a tribal clan in the Yanhuang period, and it is said that the Yellow Emperor unified the tribes. But this unification was not rigorous, and there were many tribes that were not unified at that time.
There is also a legend about the Yinliang clan. It is this legend that makes everyone know about the existence of the Yinliang clan.
Legend has it that in his later years, the Yellow Emperor invented the bronze tripod.
When the first bronze tripod was made, a giant dragon with golden light suddenly flew from the sky.
The dragon told the Yellow Emperor that the Emperor was pleased with the Yellow Emperor's contribution to unification and hoped that the Yellow Emperor would go up to heaven to meet the Emperor.
The Yellow Emperor said to the ministers, take care, I have gone to see the Emperor.
The ministers were reluctant to follow the Yellow Emperor, so they all climbed on the back of the dragon, hoping to go with the Yellow Emperor. As a result, the dragon twisted its body and threw the ministers down.
The golden dragon flew into the sky with the Yellow Emperor.
In order to commemorate the Yellow Emperor, later people called the place where the Yellow Emperor ascended to heaven "Dinghu". After the dragon went to Dinghu, he died because of the emperor who said "dragon went to Dinghu".
This legend is documented, and there is no mention of the Yinliang clan in it.
The legend of the Yinliang clan is no longer verifiable, but it is known that it is passed on by word of mouth.
Legend has it that only one of the ministers climbed onto the dragon's back without falling. This person was the ancestor of the Yinliang clan, and the Yinliang clan prospered from then on.
And guard the secrets of Longding Lake for generations.
As for where Longding Lake is, no one knows. The world recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is very different from the Ming Dynasty continent where I am located.
Maybe the world recorded in the "Classic of Mountains and Seas" is the demon world?
If so, then the Yinliang clan is also a demon clan?
"This Yinliang clan is also a demon clan?" I asked Yao mockingly.
Yao mocked up on my shoulder and scratched her ears with her paws, "How can there be any difference between the demon race and the human race, aren't these all the names given by you humans?" ”
Her words are very meaningful, monsters, ghosts and gods, are all names given by us humans.
If youkai existed much earlier than humans, would they have been called youkai at that time?
I dragged Yao Xiaomei off my shoulder, put it on the stone table, and said, "What are the people of the Yinliang clan looking for the Tiangang compass for?" ”
"What they want is not only the Tiangang compass, but also the operation method of the Tiangang compass. The ancestor of Cheng Mansion, the god enshrined is the nine-tailed demon fox. Legend has it that the Tiangang compass hides secrets about the gods.
In fact, it's not just you humans, but also our demon clan, Nuwa, Pangu, Zhurong, and Emperor Yan...... We haven't seen these so-called gods either.
But there are always people who believe in their existence and are desperate to find the truth.
And some youkai are for eternal life, even powerful youkai can't live forever.
It is rumored that Qin Shi Huang found the elixir of life back then, you humans may not believe it, but the people in the demon world take it seriously.
And the Burial Soul Church is involved, which shows that most of the descendants of the Cheng family are also related to the Mausoleum of Qin Shi Huang. The Yinliang clan hit the six gates hard this time, and their own people were all wiped out.
They're going to be out for a while. What about Nanya? How is he? ”
I shook my head and replied to her, "I just went to him and said he was in retreat and didn't see anyone. That one...... Can Lord Yao become a human? It's always weird to talk to a cat. ”
Yao's mocking beard shook twice, and she changed into a girl.
She was still the same, wearing a long black dress with a black veil on her face.
I pinched my nose and asked her, "Speaking of which...... Why is it that after you transform, you are wearing clothes, but Miss Tang is not? ”
Yao raised her eyebrows, "What?" Do you want me to be like her? ”
I blushed and quickly shook my head, "No, no, no...... I just don't understand why this is happening. ”
Yao mocked up and chuckled, "This needs to be learned, using my own hair to transform into clothes, so my clothes are pure black, and there are no other colors." ”
I nodded, "Then if Miss Tang transforms, she will be in pure white clothes?" ”
"It's natural, but it's not easy to learn. For a long time, no one in the demon clan transformed into a human form, and we didn't need clothes. It was all slowly affected later.
I don't know where you humans came from. It is always said that Nuwa creates people, but who has ever seen Nuwa, isn't it good for her to make some better species?
In the past, animals also fought each other in order to survive, but it was not that serious. But after the development of human beings, not only did you hunt a large number of animals, but also caused many animals to become extinct. Later, you went to war with each other and killed countless lives.
You humans say that monsters harm people, so who do you humans to reason with those animals that were mutilated by you?
Therefore, there is never right or wrong in this world, there is only strength. ”
Yao's mocking words made me not know how to take it. I know everything she said, and my grandfather used to tell me that kind of truth.
Take Qin Shi Huang as an example, he is indeed a tyrant, but the book is the same text, the car is the same track, and such contributions have far-reaching influence in later generations.
Those historians always like to judge the quality of historical figures from the general direction to judge right and wrong, but who determines the right and wrong of the general direction?
The Son of Heaven is guilty of the same crime as the common people, but is this really the case?
If I think about this kind of thing too much, I tend to have headaches, so I rarely think about these things.
You asked me why I didn't want to cultivate myself, Qi family, rule the country and level the world, this is a scholar's business. And I'm a monk. There are no lofty ideals, and they can live happily.
If there is any ideal now...... Probably marrying Tang Jinghong, right?
People are actually very strange with each other, and once they talk, they will become careless.
So I took this opportunity to ask Yao Yimei, "Lord Yao, I want to ask you something." ”
"What's the matter?"
"That...... If I want to marry Miss Tang, what preparations do I need to make? In other words, what do I have to do to be recognized by the Demon King? ”
"Huh?" Yao looked very surprised, as if something terrible had happened.
Of course, I really want to marry Tang Jinghong, not because Nan Ya said it, I just thought about it, he may have promoted a small loss like that?
"Are you serious?" Yao asked me.
I nodded, "Well, seriously, I like Miss Tang." ”
Yao Xiaomei's brows furrowed slightly, "This is a bit troublesome." ”
"Because she's the princess of Jinling?"
"This is just one of the reasons, when Nan Ya wanted to marry Song Zhaoying, he went to Jinling to make a big fuss, but the demon king still didn't agree. The marriage between humans and demons is a big deal in the eyes of the demon world.
If a wedding is held, not only the landlord on the twelfth floor will be present, but even the lord of the five major cities will also be present. With an identity like Tang Jinghong, the standard for the demon king to choose a son-in-law is probably the kind of person who is respected by the Ninety-Five. ”
Listening to Yao's mocking words, I suddenly felt a little lost.
This kind of thing is not only talked about by humans, but also by the demon world, right?
Tang Jinghong is a princess, and her husband must also be a big man who is either rich or noble. Like me, in addition to some abilities that are different from ordinary people, in the final analysis, they are still ordinary people.
Nan Ya is Jinyi Guard commanded the demon king and didn't agree, wouldn't it be even more useless for me to propose marriage.
Yao Yanmei thought thoughtfully, and continued: "But...... It's not impossible. It is said that the Nine-Tailed Demon King put forward a condition to Nan Ya at that time, if Nan Ya did it, she would marry Song Zhaoying to Nan Ya.
As for what this condition is, only the two of them, the Demon King and Nan Ya, know. Now that he is not married to Song Zhaoying, it must be that the condition has not been completed. ”
"Speaking of which, you're also the princess of Jinling, right? Could it be that you are all the daughters of the Nine-Tailed Demon King? ”
"What? Do you still want to marry me? Yao winked at me.
I hurriedly waved my hand, "No, no, no...... Master Yao misunderstood......"
Yao taunted and frowned slightly, "Oh? So you mean I'm not good-looking, so you don't want to marry me? ”
"No, no, no...... That's not what I meant...... "I didn't know how to explain it when she said it."
Yao Xiaomei suddenly chuckled, "Okay, I won't tease you." The princess of Jinling was not born to the Nine-Tailed Demon King, but canonized. In Jinling City in the demon world, although the status of the princess is very high, it is not as good as the status of the prince. The crown prince is the biological son of the Nine-Tailed Demon King. ”
