Volume 4, Demon Crow Demon Palace_Chapter 326, Modern Demon Village
The demon village is closer to modern life than I imagined, and the demon communities I have come into contact with in the past are more primitive. Here, every family monster lives in a small building, every household has electricity and water, and even every household has a TV and refrigerator.
"Your village is modern enough, almost as well-off." I looked around and thought it was a novelty, and the whole village was much more advanced than I had imagined.
"The times are advancing, and you humans have invented a lot of convenient things, which we can naturally use." The old bull demon said with some disdain.
The village seemed to have expanded in depth from the past, and I asked curiously, "Isn't there anyone who cares about your big village, and it's right next to the national highway?" ”
"Our village has been here for hundreds of years, to be exact, from the end of the Qing Dynasty to the present day. No one knows whether we are humans or demons for a long time, and now all our villagers here have their own ID cards and their own legal household registration information. We have integrated into your human society......"
The words of the old bull demon caused a trace of fear in my heart for no reason, a group of demons turned into people, and they still live among us, and no one even knows their true identity.
"That's what you're doing?" I asked again.
"No, as far as I know, there are many demon clans that have integrated into your human society, and they all have their own legal identities."
A group of demon clans, I don't know how many, have now turned into legitimate human beings. At this moment, I deeply feel the meaning of the existence of 507, how terrible it would be if these monsters who are good at transfiguration and much more powerful than ordinary people control human society, fortunately, there are regulatory departments, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable.
"Ahead is my residence." The old bull demon's residence looks ordinary, but it occupies a larger area than other demon clans, not because it is the village chief, but because its body is relatively large, as far as I know, many demon clans will unconsciously change a part of the demon type when they sleep. The old bull demon body is huge, and if it accidentally changes back to its original state when sleeping, the small house will not be broken by it.
"Come in, you are guarding outside." The old bull demon took me into the house and sat in the living room. There was an old teapot on the table, and it didn't mean to pour me tea, and it was obviously very reluctant to take me into the house.
"Take out the ancient demon script you asked me and I'll take a look." It said in a hurried tone.
I nodded, took out the copied paper, and the old bull demon took it and looked at it, scratched his head and said, "Where did you get it?" It's a fucking old age thing. ”
"I know, so I can't find someone who can read it, can you?"
The old bull demon stared at the few ancient demon characters that I had copied that seemed to me to be ghost-drawn talismans, and looked at them for half a minute before pinching his chin and saying, "I have seen this kind of writing, which is already older than the age of the words we use, and it is more ancient and more difficult to read. But I did see it. ”
"Where?" When I saw that there was a play, I was overjoyed and hurriedly asked.
"In a book from the king." The old bull demon put the paper on the table, and then said, "The king will read a lot of demon books that are also very old to us, and once when I went to face the saint, the king happened to be reading one of them, and it was very fascinated at that time, so I didn't dare to disturb its Yaxing." These ancient demon books have several major characteristics, the first feature is the texture, because there was still paper in that era, to be honest, paper was still invented by you humans, and our demon clan enjoyed it. Before the invention of paper, there were two eras: animal skins and bamboo sticks. And animal skins are representative of such ancient books. The second feature is that the font on the cover is generally dark gold, not because it fades because of the passage of time, but because when these leather books or books were made, the blood of a special demon beast was used, and the blood of this special demon beast was golden, and it would not change much with the passage of time. The third is the font, just like the words you showed me, it looks more like a painting, but unlike your human oracle bones, these symbols are more like a monster. Do you look closely, do you find it? ”
Hearing it say this, I took a closer look and it seemed to be the case. I didn't pay attention to these words before, but after careful observation, you will find that they are really like monsters, standing or sitting, and like teeth and claws ready to go, lifelike and very magical.
"It's beautiful." I nodded.
"Yes, this kind of writing is very beautiful. If you can have a leather book like that, it will be a priceless treasure, in fact, in that era, not all demon clans knew words. Writing was very rare in that era, which is the same as the fact that many of you human beings were illiterate and illiterate in ancient times. And in the history of our demon clan, in that era, they could read and write, and they had a certain amount of knowledge that could be written in the leather book, and they were all powerful demons with great backgrounds. By the way, where do you get these words from? "Not surprisingly, the old bull demon really asked me this question.
"I can't say that, but it's useful to me. So, can you help me with my doubts? What do these words mean? I asked the future in a simple perfunctory way, straight to the point.
"Nope." The old bull demon shook his head at me and said, I looked at it suspiciously, and asked in surprise, "Didn't you say that the head is the Tao?" But why not? ”
"I just can't, because I can't read those words." The old bull demon's words seemed to pull me from the clouds into a deep pit all at once, and my disappointment was overflowing.
"But what did you just say? The three characteristics, the origin of the times or something, are they all bragging? I complained.
"No, but I'm not the one who understands that. I've also heard people say...... "The old bull demon doesn't seem to lie to me."
"Who did you listen to?" It's not completely hopeless, if you can find someone who tells the old bull demon this, maybe you can solve the doubts.
"The old sheep demon of Yangding Mountain." The bull demon's words surprised me, "It is very knowledgeable, although it came in late in the Star Moon Demon Palace, its performance as a civil official was not very special. But it is very learned, and when it was in the mortal world, it was an erudite and powerful person, and it has been studying the ancient demon clan's writing. On several occasions, the king even let it go into the palace to read books together, because it understood the ancient demon clan's writing. What I just said is what it told me......"
turned around and actually involved the old sheep demon of Yangding Mountain, to be honest, the cultivation of the sheep demon is similar to that of the bull demon, but the degree of difficulty is definitely higher than that of the old cow demon. This old sheep is very scheming and means, and I still owe it a favor, if I go to find it now, I guess I will be very passive.
"No one knows?" I turned to other avenues.
"As far as I know, no, isn't there an old man in your 507 Institute who is very powerful? The one who is very knowledgeable, he should know this aspect of writing very well. Why don't you go and ask him? "The old bull demon mentioned was actually the old man Tao, I was silent, sighed softly and didn't speak, put the paper back in my pocket.
"Thank you for your help, I hope I don't tell me about my time here." I was about to leave, but the old bull demon wanted me to go, so he didn't keep me.
As I walked all the way to the outside of the demon village, I accidentally glanced at a house on the other side of the village, which seemed to be taller than all the other houses in the village.
"Who lives in that house? How can it be taller than your house as the village chief? I asked casually.
The old bull demon paused and said, "That's a warehouse, so it's built relatively high." ”
"Warehouse...... Then I will take my leave, and I will come to repay this love in the future. I arched my hand and walked towards the outside of the village.
When I was gone, the old bull demon took a few of his henchmen to the tallest house I had mentioned, and then walked into the house himself.
"Lord Prince, Ba Xiaoshan has left." The old bull demon knelt on the ground and said with a serious face.
"Okay, hehe......" An indifferent voice came from inside the room, and there was a hint of evil in the laughter.
