Chapter 114: Demons are like fog and dreams
Nijo Castle, Ninomaru Goten.
Several of the Shadow Shogunate's interlocutors, Takashi Hosokawa, Hiroshi Akamatsu, and others are talking.
Akamatsu Hiroshi said: "Lord Guanling, those monsters have nothing to do but go to the Three Treasures Palace, this time they suddenly came to the door to rebel with great fanfare, there must be a plan, we still have to be careful for the ......."
Hosokawa Takashi said disapprerovingly: "To say that they are monsters is just to praise them." Except for the few demon kings in the lead, who can barely be called monsters, the rest are just beasts that have given birth to a little wisdom, even if there are any plans, can they still calculate that we can't succeed?"
Well, there is some truth to this, and Akamatsu Hiroshi found that he couldn't refute it.
Youkai can only transform after cultivating to a certain extent, and sometimes, hundreds or even thousands of years of cultivation can barely transform into human form, and only then can their IQ be comparable to that of humans.
In that case, what tricks can those youkai who have not transformed can play?
Akamatsu Hiroshi hesitated for a moment, but decided to persuade again: "Although ordinary youkai are not to be worried, there are wise people among the monsters, and these intelligent youkai drive the low-intelligence youkai even more like a finger......!
Hosokawa Takashi's face changed slightly: If it is really a monster behind it, it will definitely not be an ordinary monster.
However, after a moment of silence, he said, "We will slowly postpone these things in the future, and it is not good to keep the monster's messenger out for now...... Goemon, you can bring that youkai into the temple first!"
Akamatsu Hiroshi wanted to speak again and again, and finally chose to shut up.
Goemon walked out of the hall quickly, saw a monster with a tiger face standing in the courtyard, and hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "Lord Guan and Lord Waiter, please follow me into the palace!"
This tiger-faced monster is one of the eight remaining faces of the "Enlightened Beast Demon", and it has been ordered to persuade the Shadow Shogunate to dispatch to help contain the peripheral forces of the major shrines, shrines, and Yinyangliao, so that it can break the morale of the opponent's army when the seal of the Onimon is broken.
The "Enlightened Beast Demon" is ambitious, full of fighting spirit, and is rehearsing in his mind how he should be clever next, licking the stupid humans of the Shadow Shogunate to automatically and voluntarily take the bait to help the demon clan go deep behind enemy lines and fight bloody dung!
Unexpectedly, after Goemon beside him looked at him, he suddenly said inexplicably: "Does the envoy-sama know what fate is?"
The train of thought of the "enlightened beast demon" was suddenly stuck, and after being stunned for a while, he didn't react: Nani?
Goemon guessed as soon as he saw his bewildered appearance, and secretly said in his heart: The shapeless youkai is really stupid, and he doesn't even know what fate is.
He suddenly cheered up, coughed lightly and said: "The so-called fate is actually divided into two parts: fate and luck, for example, Lord Messenger, you were born a monster, this is your life, and there is no way to change and replace your life, even if you are stuffed back into your mother's belly, you will not be able to become a human again......
However, the fortune of the day after tomorrow can indeed be changed, for example, if you work hard to cultivate, Lord Envoy, it is possible for you to transform into a human form......"
Goemon bar, bar, bar, flicker, and by the time the "Enlightened Beast Demon" entered the Ninomaru Palace, he had been taken into the ditch, and he almost forgot the purpose of coming to the Shadow Shogunate this time, and just frowned and asked Goemon: "What you said does seem to have some truth, whether it is a human or a monster, it is true that they should control their own destiny and become the master of their destiny, and should not put their fate in the hands of others, but how can we become a master of destiny?"
Hiroshi Akamatsu and Takashi Hosokawa couldn't help but be dumbfounded: It took less than five minutes to even go out and bring in the door, and the monster messenger was actually fooled and lame? Nima, this guy shouldn't be called Goemon, it should be called "Gohideemon", it's too showy!!
"Uh-huh!" Hosokawa Takashi coughed lightly, "This monster messenger, I don't know ...... this visit"
The "Enlightened Beast Demon" reacted at this time, his face was embarrassed, and he quickly apologized: "It's really rude! The little demon has seen the shogunate lord and the chamberlain, please don't be surprised, it's really because the little demon and this ......"
"My name is Goemon!"
"Enlightened Beast Demon" continued: "It's really that the little demon and this Goemon Jun have a very happy conversation, and they hate to see each other late, especially when they hear him talk about the way to control their fate, they can't help but yearn for it, so much so that they are rude. ”
What else could Hosokawa Takashi and Akamatsu Hiroshi say, they could only smile and say, "It's out of the way!"
The "Enlightened Beast Demon" looked at the two of them and said thoughtfully: "The realm cultivation of Lord Guan Ling and Lord Shisho is far superior to that of this Goemon-kun, I wonder if he is also better than Goemmon-kun in terms of controlling fate?"
Akamatsu Hiroshi couldn't help twitching the corners of his mouth twice, and said in his heart that this monster was over.
"We haven't studied fate, and in this regard, Goemon is indeed more proficient than us!"
The "Enlightened Beast Demon" couldn't help but perk up: "I see, it seems that the way of fate is indeed not so easy to peep into! No wonder so many monsters have wanted to change their lives against the sky throughout the ages, but very few can really succeed......
Goemon said solemnly: "The fate of human beings can be said to be part of the trajectory of the Heavenly Dao, and it is by no means something that can be changed by human beings. Changing one's life against the sky or something, it's a joke of pure ignorance. The sun rises in the east and sets in the west, the moon is cloudy and sunny, what can you change......"
Let's go......
The more the two talked, the more speculative they became, and Akamatsu Hiroshi and Hosokawa Hyohee were completely ignored, and no one paid attention to them at all.
Hosokawa Takashi couldn't help but want to laugh, and Akamatsu Hiroshi was also speechless, even if he broke his head, he couldn't imagine that this would happen after the youkai messenger came.
However, this does verify Hosokawa Takashi's previous inference - although there are indeed wise men among the monsters, most of the monsters are still inferior to human IQs, as long as you deal with it carefully, you should not be calculated by the monsters.
So, Akamatsu Hiroshi secretly sent a message to Goemon and asked him to find a way to ask this stupid monster what the purpose of this visit was.
Goemon understood and gradually leaned the topic towards this:
"There is no good or bad life, the key is only whether you can see your life clearly and grasp your life...... No, the luck in the demon life.
It's like having two little monsters with the same mother and a fellow who have cultivated to the same realm in the same place, and it stands to reason that their lives should be the same.
After cultivating to a certain level, these two little monsters suddenly came to a fork in the road.
One way is to seek a breakthrough after immersing oneself in penance and laying a solid foundation, and the other way is to break through by eating people, hunting blood and food, and absorbing life energy......
Both of these paths can be broken through, but the first path is decent and will take a long time, while the second path is equivalent to a shortcut and can be broken quickly.
If it were you, what would you choose?"
The "Enlightened Beast Demon" was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart: What is this special problem? If you can take a shortcut, you must take a shortcut?
Goemon seemed to guess what it was thinking, and said categorically: "Most of those who want to take shortcuts because of greed end up dying halfway through, and they can't reach the end at all."
The right choice is actually to take the path of the modest.
Although it will take a little longer, if you have laid a solid foundation and made a breakthrough, and without killing people or hunting blood food, you will not be enemies of human beings, and you will not attract hunting by human masters.
And the second path seems to be able to break through quickly, but after cannibalism, it will inevitably attract the round-up of human masters, in order to shorten the cultivation time a little, but in the end he lost his life, is it really worth it?"
The "Enlightened Beast Demon" couldn't help but chuckle in his heart, and the more he listened, the more he felt that Goemon's words made sense, but if this was really the case, then this time the plan of the Tomb Bird and Gu Won Bird-sama, wouldn't it......
Its face gradually became a little difficult to look at.
Seeing this, Goemon immediately hit the railroad while it was hot: "The youkai who chooses the first path to practice may be slower to cultivate, but it will not become an enemy of humans, as long as it takes a little more time, it may be able to become the top existence among the youkai."
And the youkai who chooses the second path seems to have shortened the path of cultivation, but it may not have time to become a top-notch youkai before it is killed!
The same life, because of different choices, the final life trajectory has become completely different!
Do you know why all this is?
It's because of greed!
For example, this time, the demon kings of the grave pit bird and the Gu Bird have launched various conspiracies in the world with you monsters because of their greed, wanting to change the fate of your monsters by despicable means!
However, you have to understand that it is absolutely impossible to succeed!
Even if you take a shortcut for the time being and let you go some way, you will eventually find that the consequences are very serious, and your group of monsters will probably be completely wiped out by humans......
Therefore, even if it is a monster, you must face up to your greed, and you must avoid being tempted by greed!
Only by recognizing yourself clearly and facing yourself squarely can you make the right choice and take your destiny into your own hands......
If you wish, your lordship, may as well tell me why your youkai clan have been dormant for so long, why did you suddenly choose to riot at this time?
The "Enlightened Beast Demon" found that his mind suddenly turned into a mush: Could it be that this time, the Grave Bird and the Gu Bird really did something wrong?
