Chu Banshan snorted coldly:

"Nonsense, how can there be a demon in the world that does not harm people. Today, Chu will act for the heavens, avenge the innocent people who died tragically in your hands, and kill you. ”

As he spoke, he hugged his fists to everyone in the audience, and said loudly:

"Rest assured, as long as I am in Chu Banshan, I will not let these demons do evil in Lin'an City."

Then with a wave of his hand, he was about to order the two Taoist priests to punish the demons.

Xin Shi Niang looked at Chu Banshan's triumphant look, couldn't help frowning, and said unhappily:

"It's too much to catch two little demons to show off their power here."

Xu Mu'e was more radical than Xin Shi Niang, and jumped directly onto the high platform, looked at Chu Banshan coldly, and asked:

"Wait! Since you have arrested them, tell me what evil they have done, otherwise you will not kill innocents indiscriminately. ”

The two snake demons saw that someone was willing to stand up and speak for them, and they hurriedly pleaded:

"We haven't done anything, we've been practicing in peace, and we've really never harmed anyone."

"Yes, we were wronged."

Seeing that he was about to make a name for himself, but was interrupted by Xue Mu'e, Chu Banshan couldn't help but look at the woman who suddenly appeared in annoyance and asked:

"Who are you? Actually speaking for the monster and arguing for the monster, are you an accomplice of the monster? ”

Xu Mu'e said: "Under Xu Mu'e, she is a swordsman who specializes in slaying demons and eliminating demons. ”

Someone in the audience shouted:

"I've heard of her, she is the female swordsman who slays demons and destroys demons, and she eradicated the pig Polong who harmed people over there in Qiantang."

"That's right, I saw her still giving medicine on the street over there, this woman is a good person, and she will definitely not favor youkai."

Chu Banshan didn't expect Xu Mu'e to have some background, listening to the voices of everyone in the audience, he only felt that his limelight had been stolen by Xu Mu'e, and his face was a little ugly.

Xu Mu'e said abruptly: "People are divided into good and evil, and monsters are the same. Not all youkai are bad, and there are good ones among them. If you want to kill these two snake demons, you have to explain why. ”

"Yes, Master Chu, tell me what they did wrong?"

In the crowd, a young scholar stepped out of the crowd and said loudly.

Chu Banshan didn't know what the snake demon had done, in his opinion, as long as it was a monster, it would definitely harm people, and he hadn't investigated it at all.

He looked at the two Taoist priests under him and asked:

"What the hell did these two monsters do wrong?"

One of the Taoist priests smirked and said awkwardly:

"Well, they're not wrong about anything."

"You!"

Chu Banshan glared at the Taoist priest, almost vomiting blood from his anger, he didn't expect to make such a big oolong.

Seeing that everyone in the stands was pointing at him, Chu Banshan knew that his face was lost, and he was angry in his heart, and he couldn't help but lose his temper at the two Taoist priests:

"You two bastards, don't you check before you do anything?"

As he spoke, he brushed his sleeves away.

After Chu Banshan and the two Taoist priests left, Xu Mu'e hugged her fists to everyone in the audience and said:

"Don't worry, that evil wolf demon has been sealed by me and Master before, and it won't come out to harm people again in the future."

As she spoke, she stepped forward and tore open the spirit talisman attached to the forehead of Da Niu Erniu, and said to the two snake demons:

"You will live and practice in the mountains and forests in the future, don't come out to harm people, and it's best not to go into the city again, you know?"

"Yes."

"We know, thank you to the heroine for coming to the rescue."

After the two snake demons agreed, they left the body of the big cow and the second cow, rolled up two black winds and circled in the air, and then flew out of the city.

Seeing that there was no excitement to see, the onlookers slowly dispersed, and Feng Sheng and Xu Mu'e also left after greeting each other.

Afterwards, Xu Mu'e had to wander around the city and check out, and walked away alone, while Jiang Yi and the three returned to Ah Lu's home.

On the way back.

Xin Shi Niang remembered the scene at the demon meeting just now, and couldn't help but say with a little gloom:

"I'm afraid there are many people in this world who are like that Chu Banshan, thinking that as long as they are demons, they will definitely harm people."

Jiang Yi nodded:

"It's not to blame them, after all, there are indeed many harmful monsters in this world. Slowly, a concept was formed in everyone's mind: as long as it is a monster, it will definitely harm people. ”

"Even if there are youkai who don't hurt people, they don't know. After all, most people don't have the opportunity to get along with youkai and get to know them. ”

Xin Shi Niang sighed and said in a low voice: "I know that this situation is inevitable, but it is inevitable that I am still a little uncomfortable in my heart. ”

Ah Lu looked at Xin Shi Niang's depressed appearance, and couldn't help but comfort:

"Not everyone thinks so, like me, Gongzi, Sister Mu'e, and that Feng Gongzi, they all believe that demons are as good and evil as humans."

"In my opinion, a demon like you, Sister Xin, is kinder than most people. And some people's hearts are more terrible than demons."

Xin Shi Niang gratefully took Ah Lu's hand, patted it gently, and said:

"It's a pity that there aren't many people who think that."

Jiang Yi said:

"This is true in the present, but after you become an immortal, we can work together to change all this, so that the future world can coexist with humans and demons."

Speaking of this, a thought flashed in Jiang Yi's heart: The coexistence of humans and demons should be a pursuit of everyone in A Chinese Ghost Story.

A world where gods and demons coexist is very interesting to think about.

When Xin Shi Niang heard this, she remembered what happened in the dream world, and secretly thought: Is Jiang Yi doing this to make up for the regrets of the previous life.

Thinking of this, I nodded with a warm smile in my heart:

"Okay."

If people and demons could get along peacefully, the tragedy of Nuyuan and Jiang Ming would not have happened.

……

In the evening, after the sky darkened, Xin Shi Niang returned to the broken Zen courtyard.

After a few words with her father and sisters, she took the medical book, jumped on a big stone and sat down, and looked at the medical book in the bright moonlight.

Just after watching it for a while, Xin Shi Niang found that she was a little restless today, and she couldn't look at it at all.

There are too many things that have happened today, and she needs to think clearly: Junjun's intentions, Nuyuan's dreams, and Jiang Yi's words about the coexistence of humans and demons.

She closed the book, furrowed her brows, and fell into deep thought.

Sou.

The delicate and lovely nineteenth sister jumped beside her and sat down, looking at her absent-mindedness, and couldn't help asking:

"Fourteenth sister, what's wrong with you? What's on your mind? ”

Father Xin, who was sitting on the side eating nuts, also asked with concern:

"yes, what are you thinking about all night?"

The soft thirteenth sister walked over and joked with a smile:

"Aren't you thinking about your lover?"

When the nineteenth sister heard this, she suddenly became interested, and her eyes lit up and asked again and again:

"Really, who is it? Is it Feng Sheng? ”

Xin Shi Niang ignored her sister's jokes, just looked at Father Xin, and asked:

"Dad, do you think it's possible for a demon to retrieve the memories of his past life?"

Father Xin stroked his beard lightly and said, "As long as the mana is deep enough, it should be fine, why are you asking this?" ”

Xin Shi Niang said vaguely:

"Do you think I was also a fox demon in my last life?"

"I don't know."

Father Xin shook his head and said, "I don't know those divination and calculation skills, and I can't see your past and present lives. ”

Xin Shi Niang didn't ask again when she heard this, and instead said:

"Then you say, can our demon race coexist peacefully with the human race?"

The nineteenth sister shook her little head:

"How is it possible, although I like human gadgets very much, and usually go into the city to buy snacks and clothes, but I never dare to show my true face. Otherwise, once those people know that I am a fox demon, they will definitely burn me to death. ”

Father Xin also said:

"Yes, daughter, don't think about it, it's impossible for humans and demons to coexist in peace."

"Don't look at the fact that you are now giving medicine and helping those people, if one day they find out that you are a fox demon, and then someone provokes a few words, saying that you have ulterior motives. Those who have received your favor will probably want to burn you to death. ”

Xin Shi Niang also understands the difficulty, the cultivator and the demon clan have been fighting for thousands of years, and they have accumulated a lot of blood feuds, and where is it so easy to let go.

If you want people to coexist peacefully with demons, I'm afraid it's even more difficult than becoming an immortal.
