Chapter 37: The Righteousness of the World
He clasped his hands around his chest and leaned against the back of the door, the cool moonlight stretching his shadow.
His cheeks were hidden in the darkness, his expression was unclear, and he was cold and arrogant.
Zhao Yuanling instructed the armadillo to fetch a basin of water, and the person walked to the edge of the bed, found a stool, and let Mo Bai sit in front of him.
Although Mo Bai sat on a low stool, he was tall and tall, and his eyes were at the same level as hers.
His hands were still in the same position.
"Give me your hand." Mo Bai didn't speak, just raised his eyes and looked at her quietly.
Zhao Yuanling didn't say it a second time, and the two of them were in a stalemate until the armadillo came back.
"How? What did that little boy Zhang say? The armadillo asked quietly as he put the basin on the ground and looked around, locking the doors and windows.
Zhao Yuanling didn't speak, she was just still silent.
In the end, Mo Bai admitted defeat first and stretched his arms in front of him.
Zhao Yuanling lifted his sleeve up, revealing a long and deep knife mark.
She held her breath and gasped.
The armadillo looked stunned, "Who were you hurt by?" ”
Mo Bai's skills are superb, and it seems unlikely that someone could hurt him in this temple.
She guessed: "Is it Zhang Yuanji?" I see that he is full of energy, with tendons and flesh, and his hands are also strong, he should be a military general. Immediately, there was a bit of schadenfreude on his face and said: But you can't beat him, it's rare."
Mo Bai didn't speak, but Zhao Yuanling dipped a strip of cloth in water and wiped the excess blood stains for him, she secretly used her strength, but he still didn't say a word.
She was so angry that she slammed the back of his hand.
Mo Bai hissed, his eyes were slightly resentful, Zhao Yuanling didn't hold back, and chuckled.
The flesh of the wound had turned outward, and it looked hideous and terrifying, she wiped it with fear, and said in a muffled voice: "That little boy has a lot of blood stains on his clothes, but his wound is very shallow. ”
"The wound is shallow?"
The armadillo isolated itself from this ambiguous breath and carefully analyzed: "It means that it is not his blood?" Looking at the scars on Mo Bai's hands again, she instantly understood.
"What is the origin of that little boy?" It's worth Mo Bai's hands, it must not be an ordinary person.
Sure enough, Mo Bai's answer surprised her.
"There's a spirit in him."
"What? Is he a demon? She then dismissed the idea, "No way, I can't smell the demon on him." ”
Mo Bai had an indifferent face, watching Zhao Yuanling help him wrap the wound around and around him, and finally tie a knot.
In the dim light, Qianqianyu's hands look like fine silk, and you can associate the beauty of touch with just one glance.
The inadvertent rubbing seemed to ignite a spark on his skin, which was more burning than a wound.
He said succinctly: "It's not a demon, it's a human, but there are other people in it." ”
The armadillo exclaimed, "He is alone, and he actually has someone else's spirit on him, could it be that someone is possessed?" ”
"I think it's possessed in your head."
Facing the black white poisonous tongue, the armadillo looked angry.
"I'm afraid he ate the demon pill, and it just so happens that there is a soul in this demon pill."
His face was solemn, as if he was pondering something.
The inner pill of the demon clan is not only equivalent to the existence of life to the demon, but also more like a miracle elixir to people.
But not everyone is blessed, if there is no demon to help extradite, people eat the demon pill into their stomachs without authorization, and they will only explode and die.
"In my opinion, since this Zhang Gongzi is an official from the imperial city, it is not difficult to get a demon pill, and I have heard many cases of this kind of thing."
"Who did you listen to?" Zhao Yuanling's expression was subtle, and he seemed to be a little urgent. The armadillo didn't know why she had such a big reaction, and snorted coldly, "Do you still need to hear about this?" ”
She poured herself a cup of tea, and said in a sad and angry tone: "Two years ago, a group of soldiers in yellow armor and demon hunters appeared everywhere, the Taoist priests were insidious and cunning, the soldiers were well-trained, and the most important thing was that they still had strange black balls in their hands.
This ball is amazing, it was thrown on the ground with a bang, and a big pit appeared on the ground in an instant! She stretched out her arms and stroked: "Some of the little demons were destroyed before they had time to dodge, and they were all captured later."
The soldiers put them in cages like animals, and the cages were covered with yellow spells that no demon could break, and they never returned. ”
Speaking of this, a sad look appeared between the armadillo's eyebrows, "It should be dead." ”
Zhao Yuanling frowned, she was still a princess two years ago, and she had never heard of such a thing in the palace, "What's the use of them catching these demons?" I'm afraid that someone didn't do it on purpose and planted the crime on the royal family. ”
The armadillo snorted lightly, his eyes full of mockery, "Planting? Do you still need to plant a false accusation? Could it be that the armor covered in armor was created by the common people themselves? Well-trained and armed with weapons, which mountain king can make it? Except for the emperor, no one can have this ability. ”
"As for what you're doing catching demons?" A flash of hatred flashed in her eyes, "Naturally, it's for the demon pill, they coerced and lured the demon to take the initiative to hand over the demon pill and extradite it to the human body, saying that it can cure all diseases and live forever."
But not all demon pills can be smoothly transferred to the human body after being extradited by the body, so some even drink the blood of the demon and eat their flesh and skin, so that the demon pill can feel the link of the body so that it will not be agitated. ”
"There are also those who use demon blood, skin and flesh to do medical research, try to put their bodies in the furnace to melt, and finally refine the elixir for people to eat."
Hair, nails, flesh, teeth, everything on them can be the object of human research, if the demon that falls into the hands of the human race is dead or lucky, he is afraid that life is better than death, and he lives in purgatory on earth every day.
Thinking of this scene, she trembled with anger.
"These royal magnates deserve to die!"
Her teeth clenched, and a terrifying look in her eyes flashed into her eyes.
Everything in the world is a living being, although she is not a demon, but she stands in the middle of the demon race and the human race, staring at the war between them.
She had no way to admonish anyone, so she could only hide in the mountains and forests to protect herself.
She is an ancient divine beast, and her strength comes from the power of the faith of the human race, but if she is not of my race, her heart will be different.
After King Zhao put forward this sentence, the people no longer believed her and drove her out of the imperial city along with the monsters.
King Zhao reigned for ten years, and the edict was issued for ten years.
Now her mana has gradually dissipated, and it is no longer the same as before.
Although the demons are hateful, it is inevitable that there are some good demons with good minds who can distinguish right from wrong, they just want to live in peace with the human race, and they will not kill innocents indiscriminately.
That's what she's looking at.
But since King Zhao ascended the throne, everything has changed, and the dead and wounded of the demon clan living in the realm are more often caught and treated as livestock to eat meat and drink blood.
They resisted, broke free, took revenge.
In the end, they ended up killing innocents indiscriminately and endangering the reputation of the human race, and everyone regarded them as beasts of prey.
Zhao Yuanling pursed the corners of his lower lips, and for the first time, a pair of gentle eyes were resentful and irritated.
"I don't believe what you said, just rely on the soul that lives in this body was once the princess of Zhao Kingdom."
"I don't deny that there are indeed demons in the demon clan that don't hurt people, but in addition, there are more evil demons who do all kinds of evil, just because of their nature in their bones, they can act recklessly and make the people miserable.
It can be said that the evil demon takes his life for the heavens, so who will do the evil for the heavens? If people do not stand up and resist, the whole world will be a purgatory, allowing sin to spread and grow, and there will be no place for it. ”
Zhang Qingsheng, who has been waiting for Bai Shao for fifty years, is moving, but it cannot be denied how many innocent people he killed after becoming a demon, although those Taoist people are greedy, what qualifications does he have to take their lives?
Isn't it possible to kill the other party first because he had a premonition that he would be killed? To kill someone is to kill someone, and no amount of reason is just an excuse.
"Princess ...... Zhao" The armadillo was stunned, but he didn't expect that the person called the princess in front of him was a real princess.
The consternation immediately turned into coldness, and she sneered louder, "How can the princess who is high above understand that these people are sinister in the world, conscripting troops and fighting, and the people pay taxes, because how many people have died and injured countless people, compared to the people killed by the demon clan, it is only a drop in the bucket." ”
"Conscription, wars, and taxes for the people are all sacrifices that must be made for the sake of this country and to promote the common progress of the human race.
Monsters kill innocents indiscriminately just to vent their anger and satisfy their selfish desires for pleasure, how can this be confused? ”
"Even so, those demons deserve to be arrested, do they deserve to die?" The armadillo smiled bitterly, "Human life is supreme, isn't the life of a demon a life?" ”
"For the sake of the righteousness of the world and the peace of the world, the human race has strangled all the races that do not belong to their kind, and many demon races can only be forced to flee to the wild forests and mountains, and dare not set foot in the human realm.
It is in this way that their hearts will be more vicious, why can't they live under the sun like people, why can they only live in the dark and dirty like rats in the gutter.
They delusionally hope to live in the sunny day and take the first step longingly, but the ruthless oppression and disgust of the human race make them stimulate a deeper blood in their hearts.
The armadillo said word by word, sonorously and powerfully: "They are not killing innocents indiscriminately, this is revenge!" ”
Zhao Yuanling's body was tense like a string, "It is precisely because most demons are brutal by nature and do all kinds of evil and endanger the lives of the people that they will drive them away from the imperial city."
It's not that they can't live well when they are far away from the human race, and if they let it go like this, it will put the people of the world in dire straits.
There is no way to measure this, they are cunning and good at disguise, and those who have seen demons do evil are dead, who can come out to prove that demons are innocent? Ordered the monsters to be expelled from the imperial city, and it was also helpless to send heavy troops to guard the borders of various places.
You can't gamble millions of lives, right? ”
