Chapter 225
Mu Jiujiu was surprised to find that many of the women in the crowd were wearing exquisite and gorgeous costumes, and even wearing masks. She hurriedly inquired and learned that this came from the story of the Morning Moon Festival.
A long time ago, humans and demons were incompatible, but a woman of the demon clan fell in love with a demon slayer of the human race, and in the encounters and battles again and again, they unknowingly fell in love with each other.
Because of their position, the love between the two naturally did not come to fruition. Because of the amazing appearance of the demon woman, it was easy for ordinary people to recognize her, so every time they met in secret, the woman had to wear a mask.
Later, their affairs were finally revealed. The woman of the demon clan was accused by the clan of colluding with the human race, revealing the secrets of the demon clan, and was sacrificed on the high platform.
When the demon slayer learned about it, he was in pain, and finally understood his true intentions, and he killed those who had framed her, and revealed the truth to the world, while also trying his best to reconcile the two clans.
Later, after many years of hard work, the two clans finally shook hands and made peace.
And on the woman's tombstone, a flower with the color of the bright moon also grows, which will glow slightly under the night, flowing like moonlight.
Some people call this flower "Morning Moon Flower", and in order to commemorate their touching love and the reconciliation between the two races, on this day, the women will wear masks, and if a man takes a fancy to them, he can hand the morning moon flower to the other person.
If the woman accepts, she removes the mask.
It's a very romantic story, but Mu Jiujiu's mind was flying, and she thought, if a woman is in good shape, the man will find out after taking off the mask...... Well, what if some don't meet what you want.
Isn't there a word for seeing the light and dying now?
Well, that's not something she needs to worry about, though.
It wasn't until after listening to this story that Mu Jiujiu noticed some details that he hadn't discovered before.
For example, although there are various styles of flowers sold on the street, they are generally the same type of flowers. He didn't feel that the surroundings were too bright before, but at this time, Mu Jiujiu found that under the darkness, the flowers were slightly shiny.
So she also came to a stall, intending to choose a flower for the occasion.
"Why does this flower shine?" Curious baby Mu Jiujiu asked.
The stall owner smiled: "All these silk cloths are soaked in a special liquid, I don't believe you can touch it, the texture is different from others." ”
Mu Jiujiu tried it, and sure enough, it was so.
The stall owner saw that she had a kind face, and the girl could also speak, so he chatted with Mu Jiujiu.
"The girl must know the story of the Morning Moon Festival, right?"
"Yes." She nodded.
"Actually, I've always suspected that this story is probably from the community." The stall owner smiled: "I have also traveled north and south over the years, but I have never seen this kind of flower, and every time we celebrate the festival, everyone just uses silk cloth instead." ”
"That's true, but it's a long time ago, who can say for sure?"
Mu Jiujiu is not entangled, in her opinion, whether it is real or false, it is meaningful to bring this kind of joy and holiday joy to everyone now.
In addition to the moonflowers, there are some other kinds of flowers on the flower basket, which are colorful and colorful in a variety of colors. Mu Jiujiu picked a few of his favorites, and handed them to Wen Yuan and Duan Qianxiao by the way.
Duan Qianxiao took it, turned the flower in his hand, and said, "I'm not a woman, why are you giving me this?" ”
"I can give it to the woman you like."
"I can't see them again, what if they're ugly?"
"You're too honest, aren't you?" Mu Jiujiu said helplessly.
"That's, I've always been, better than some people who pretend to care about it."
"How can this kid tell the truth." Mu Jiujiu muttered.
Wen Yuan on the side didn't say anything, he looked at the moon flower in his hand, something seemed to flash in his eyes, and suddenly said: "Actually, I have seen this kind of flower." ”
"Really?" Mu Jiujiu was a little curious after hearing this: "Where is it?" ”
"Infernal Cave."
He said a word that he had never heard of in the wine.
"There aren't many of them in that place, but they don't exist anymore." Wen Yuan's eyes showed a faint look of reminiscence.
"Why?"
"Because I've ruined it."
He said lightly, in a normal tone.
Mu Jiujiu keenly sensed something, but she didn't ask much.
They continued to walk forward.
There are some spirit beasts in front of you...... To be precise, the animal trainer and the spirit animal cooperate together to make difficult actions in exchange for a reward.
Mu Jiujiu stood and watched for a while, cheering.
Maybe the voices around him were too noisy, Dawn, who had fallen asleep after eating before, came out at this time, and it looked at one of the spirit beasts there to read and write, and said disdainfully: "What's so strange about this, I can also speak and count and chant poetry." ”
"Others breathe fire, will you?" Mu Jiujiu pointed to another spirit beast.
Just listening to the order of the beast trainer, the spirit beast spat out a huge flame, and the people around it kept applauding.
"Hmph, I don't bother to do such a thing." Dwan looked arrogant.
At this time, Mu Jiujiu thought of something, and suddenly said, "dwan." ”
"What did you call me for?"
"You said that there were many systems like you before, and that you were an abandoned ...... Or rather, a system that no one chooses, right? ”
"yes, what's wrong?" Dwan was a little puzzled as to why she brought it up, and deliberately said in a sad tone, "You poked my sad thing......"
"Okay, don't act, I'm just thinking that you are too much like a person in other aspects except for your ability to be not very outstanding...... Can you see what I mean? ”
Mu Jiujiu's tone suddenly became serious.
Dawn muttered, "What does it mean that the ability is not outstanding. ”
But it wasn't stupid, and it quickly understood what she meant. It was silent for a moment and spoke softly: "Actually, what you said, I used to think about it, and I also felt for a while that I was different from them. But I don't have any memories of the past.
Ever since I had the impression that I was locked up in a black box, waiting for someone else to choose. ”
"I feel like a system, and that's what my memory tells me."
"What if memory is a lie?"
Mu Jiujiu thought of some sci-fi blockbusters he had watched, and asked, "Are there any things you have there that can tamper with memories, I think you seem to have mentioned it." ”
Dawn paused: "Yes, but ......"
"Huh?"
"Nothing, maybe you're right...... I've only seen people with special abilities who have been forced to have their memories erased and tampered with, but I've never thought of myself as a system, so I've never thought of myself. ”
With this guess, Dawn seemed to be much quieter.
It circled its body into a small pompom and rested obediently on her shoulder, not knowing what it was thinking.
Mu Jiujiu touched its head to comfort it.
