Chapter 700: Collecting New Year's Money
The inside of the room was very simple, with only one bowl, a pair of chopsticks, and two blackened things next to them, which looked a little similar to steamed buns, but not very much like them.
I frowned, I didn't expect this youkai named Ah Yue to live such a life.
Ah Yue probably noticed my appearance, grinned and said, "Don't mind, most people in our village are actually like this." ”
"Ah Yue, how should you get to the Demon Emperor Palace in your Demon Domain, and how long will it take?" I sat down on a bed made of stone and asked.
"You want to go to the Demon Emperor Palace? Don't be stupid, don't say you're human. Ah Yue's voice was a little quieter when she said this: "Even if it's a monster, not everyone can enter the Demon Palace." ”
"That's the strictest place in our demon domain, you are a human, if you are found out, you will die." Ah Yue's expression was very stern, and she danced with her hands, as if she wanted to express the seriousness of this matter.
I looked at her hands and feet, and danced with her hands, I wanted to laugh, this little monster is quite interesting, I saw her anxious appearance, and said, "I'm curious to ask, why are you so excited." ”
When Ah Yue heard my words, she breathed a sigh of relief and said, "How can I be excited, you don't know that the Demon Emperor is very cruel. ”
"Well, I really haven't heard of this, tell me about it." I asked with a smile.
Ah Yue coughed twice and said, "This is a long story, now in the Demon Domain, there are a total of three big monsters under the Demon Emperor, Baishi, Ghost Jiao, and White Fox King." It seems that the two of them, Ghost Jiao and the White Fox King, have always wanted to compete with the Demon Emperor for the dominance of the Demon Domain, and a few years ago, Ghost Jiao instigated hundreds of monsters to go to the Demon Emperor Palace to make trouble. ”
"You must know that the monsters in our demon domain are not better than you humans, they give birth quickly, our population is very sparse, you see that although we are poor and have no power, we can cripple us, but we just can't kill us, this is the rule set by the Demon Emperor at the beginning, but those hundreds of monsters have just arrived at the Demon Emperor's Palace, and they haven't made trouble yet, so let the Demon Emperor order all of them to be skinned and killed."
"The Demon Queen is here, as long as it suspects that it is a threat to it, and the monsters that are a threat to the Demon Emperor Palace, they all have to die, because this ghost Jiao did not dare to continue to make trouble." Ah Yue whispered.
"How do you know about this kind of thing?" I asked with a smile.
Ah Yue waved her hand: "Hey, in addition to farming and begging for a day, we are talking to others about these big shots, it is said that the White Fox King and the Ghost Jiao have been planning to attack the Demon Emperor's Palace because the Demon Emperor has not appeared for three years this time, and the big demon Baishi is the Demon Emperor's person." ”
I listened to Ah Yue's words, and suddenly became enlightened, no wonder Ling Xiao and Liu Boqing didn't let me come to the Demon Domain, it turned out that the Demon Domain was going to make a revolution, this situation, I suddenly ran to the Demon Domain as a human being, it was indeed quite dangerous.
I nodded and said, "Then do you know why the Demon Emperor hasn't come out for three years?" ”
"It is said that the Demon Emperor offended someone before and was killed, anyway, rumors are flying all over the sky, but it doesn't matter to us little demons, we just talk about the legends of these big monsters every day, and we can't interfere." Ah Yue shook her head.
"Yes, okay, you go out and find a place to sleep, I'll borrow your house for a few days." I spoke.
I didn't plan to wander around until I figured out the details of the Demon Domain now.
The main reason is that my human identity is more troublesome.
To use the simplest analogy, what will happen if a monster comes to our city?
Ordinary people don't know that he is a monster, but if the Taoist priest bumps into him and recognizes it, he will be destroyed.
And I'm in the same situation now, but I'm the one who will be eliminated if I recognize it.
At present, the main thing is to find a way to find the news of Zhao Shiyu first, and only after having the exact news can we act.
Ah Yue listened to my words, her eyes bulged, and she hurriedly said, "No, this house is mine, you go out and build a house to sleep in." ”
Her eyes lit up when she said this, as if she would fight with me if I was ready to continue to fight her for the house.
I just remembered that she was a monster anyway, what did a monster change? Animals change, animals have a territory concept, this is her territory, that is hers, whoever wants her territory, she has to fight with whom.
"Come on, big sister, don't be angry, I'll sleep underground." I smiled awkwardly.
Ah Yue thought about it with a deep expression, and finally agreed with a frown.
I won't mention the rest of her room, and it's also tearful when I mention it, and it's dirty everywhere, and the only good thing is that it doesn't smell.
That's pretty rare.
Ah Yue didn't know where to find a strip of black cloth that seemed to have grease on it, and threw it to me: "In my house, you have to listen to me, this is the rule." ”
"What rules?" I asked, taking the piece of cloth.
Ah Yue raised her head: "My rules." ”
"Gotcha, you're the best, gotcha." I laughed, this little cat demon is quite proud.
I really didn't see it before.
Looking at Ah Yue with arrogance in front of him, and then thinking about the appearance of being scared and trembling by me before, my heart was amused, of course, my endurance is still quite good, and I still didn't laugh out of it.
I casually threw the cloth on the ground and lay down.
Ah Yue jumped on her stone bed, lay down and began to sleep.
I slept pretty fast, closed my eyes, and it didn't take long for me to feel like I was about to fall asleep.
Just as I was about to fall asleep, suddenly, there was a commotion outside the village, and I lost my sleepiness in an instant.
"What's going on out there?" I sat up and asked.
Ah Yue also woke up, there was also doubt in her eyes, she thought for a while and said, "Maybe some monsters are coming to collect the New Year's money, it's okay, the village chief will deal with it." ”
Along the way, I also learned that the demon domain is not ordinary poverty, there is a shortage of food, only a few places can grow food, and little monsters like Ah Yue and them can't find a good place, so they can only eat some unpalatable and nutritious food.
There are some differences between the monsters in the demon domain and the monsters outside of us, because it doesn't matter if the monsters outside don't eat, but the monsters in the demon domain don't know why, and they are more similar to humans, it's okay not to eat for a short time, but if you don't eat for a long time, you'll starve to death.
And in this kind of life, many landless monsters will form gangs and collect protection money to live, and the object of the protection fee is naturally a place like Xingyue Village.
I was about to go back to sleep when suddenly there was a sound of footsteps outside the door, and three leopard demons rushed into our small room in a menacing manner.
The meeting started at eight o'clock today, except for half an hour of lunch at noon, the meeting was held until more than six o'clock in the evening, and then it has been busy, today is too tired, just a change, tomorrow or the day after tomorrow to resume the update, sorry everyone, kiss one.
