The heavy mood made Chi Tang not have half the joy after successfully eliminating the demon, and he and Xue Yang watched the corpse of the white-faced scholar gradually change, and finally turned into a snow-white goat.

The eldest husband kept his promise and said Jiuding, but although this white-faced scholar was not killed by himself, he was finally killed by the villain under his nose, and he was also to blame, Chi Tang's heart was heavy, full of chagrin and inexplicable sadness.

He wants to look at the rising sun, the twilight of the sunset, he wants to accompany this mustard mountain, listen to the song of beasts and birds, and smell the fragrance of pine flowers. That's all he wants. Xue Yang's words carried a hint of sorrow, and he picked up the sheep corpse on the ground. "Bury him in a place where the morning glow and the sunset can reach. ”

There is only one such place, and that is the top of the mountain.

The white-faced scholar's original old and rough clothes seemed more and more open at this moment, Xue Yang carefully wrapped the goat's body with this shirt, step by step, and walked towards the top of the mountain, Chi Tang was silent and followed.

From the middle of the mountain to the top of the mountain, there is still a long mountain road to go, and the two of them are in a heavy mood and walk slowly, so this mountain road has gone straight for more than an hour, and when they reach the top of the mountain, it is already the time when the sun is setting.

The top of the mountain is empty, only some of the vegetation is dark yellow, you can't see the flowers and trees, the black demonic energy that was originally accumulated on the top of the mountain has now been eliminated, the sunset shines, sprinkled on the top of the mountain, mottled and shining, with a magnificent appearance.

Chitang had a knife in his hand, and the soil on the top of the mountain was soft, so he quickly dug a one-person-sized earthen pit, and then pushed the sheep carcass into the pit and sprinkled the soil down.

Even though we don't even know your real name, even though we've only known each other for an hour or two, even though we're not even the same beings as you, we remember your smile when you look forward to a better life, we remember the gloom you remembered when you remembered the past, and we remembered that we had a friendship with each other for a short time.

"The feathers of mayflies, the clothes are beautiful. The worries of the heart are where I return, and the wings of the mayfly are picking clothes. The worries of my heart are at my mercy, and mayflies dig and read, and my linen clothes are like snow. The worry of my heart is said to me......" Xue Yang sang in a vigorous and sad voice on the grave of the white-faced scholar, and the voice spread far away between the mountains and fields, echoing in the valley.

Gradually, a soft and mournful female voice that was very different from Xue Yang's voice sounded softly in Xue Yang and Chi Tang's ears: "The morning sun is no longer in full bloom, and the day is suddenly in the west." If you go here, how can it be like nine autumns? Life is like dust and dew, and the way of heaven is ......"

Like the fairy sound Qingle floating in from the sky, the song has a touch of loneliness and sadness, which is very suitable for the situation, Xue Yang couldn't help but follow a few words: "...... Life is like dust and dew, and the way of heaven is ......"

Then, as if he suddenly remembered something, he reached into his arms and touched for a long time, before he took out a transparent glass bottle, and the white gas in the bottle was dense, converging into the shape of a woman, and the woman was leaning on the wall of the bottle, and was singing softly with her throat, like crying.

※※※

It was late at night, and thirty miles away from the Mustard Mountain, was the only dilapidated inn in this small town.

The oil lamps smoked the walls with blackened oil marks, and the inferior lamp grass crackled from time to time, flickering with the lights flickering on and off. The simple earthen kang could only make Chi Tang and Xue Yang lie side by side, and the window paper was pasted several layers, but there was still a cold wind penetrating in, and the door rattled when it was closed.

The innkeeper, who had already closed his door, didn't expect that there would be merchants coming to the door so late, and he came all the way from Mt. Fuji, which is said to have monsters. The shopkeeper looked suspiciously at the two big men in gray cloaks, but even if it was in the dead of night when he disturbed his sleep, even if it was a guest of unknown origin and strange behavior, after confirming that the room fee they paid was a genuine Dajin copper baht coin, the shopkeeper still arranged a rest place for them, and no one would have trouble with the money. ...,

It was late at night, so the fire in the room had already been turned off, and there was no hot water, but Chi Tang and Xue Yang didn't care, Chi Tang just carried a bucket of cold water from the patio outside the house into the room, and then Xue Yang closed the door. In the end, they still didn't catch up with Feng Yingxiu who had already gone their separate ways, their respective destinations were different, and they should have turned to Jinping Garden in Leopard Hidden Mountain from here.

Chi Tang washed his hands repeatedly in the bucket, because of digging the pit with his bare hands, his hands were full of dirt and dust, and after washing several times, there was still a lot of mud and dust embedded between the fingernails and the texture of the palm prints.

Xue Yang took off his gray cloak and leaned on the earthen kang, although he was in a hurry, the two of them did not stop walking along the way, and they had been on the road for several hours, but now that they had really reached the place to rest, they still did not feel sleepy.

White gas suddenly floated out of the room, and turned into a woman's form in front of Chi Tang and Xue Yang.

"Hmm, you didn't catch up with your Feng family girl, why did you get here with us?" Xue Yang was a little surprised when he saw the woman who had incarnated out of thin air, but he was not surprised.

She is the female ghost of Feng Yingxiu, and I don't know how many businessless transactions she has done with Feng Yingxiu, Xue Yang originally kept her as a pledge against the five hundred gold that was given away.

Along the way, because they are all walking with Feng Yingxiu and Juan'er, and the female ghost in the glass bottle hidden in her arms is unusually peaceful, if it weren't for the top of the mustard mountain today, he would have almost forgotten about this thing by hanging the white-faced scholar's song Cao Feng mayfly and causing the female ghost to respond to the throat.

Of course, the so-called pledge Yunyun was just a joke of a bit of a joking nature by Xue Yang at that time, with his relationship with Feng Yingxiu these days, he could see that although Feng Yingxiu was shrewd on the surface, he was not selfish and faithless, especially today compared to the ugly behavior of the desperate people in that place, Xue Yang knew better, so he opened the glass bottle at that time and asked the female ghost to find Feng Yingxiu by herself, but I didn't expect that at such a late hour, the female ghost not only didn't leave, but also followed all the way.

"What do we do when our sisters and sons? We are different from that kind of person, and I said that I would keep it as collateral, how could I be so rebellious? I can only follow you until my Feng sister-in-law pays you back the money. "The female ghost of the white shadow is pleasant at the moment, and in the dim light, she still looks beautiful and moving.

"You're not that kind of person. It's a pity that there are many people now, and their ethics are not even as good as a ghost, oh, I'm sorry......" Xue Yang blurted out, but at the end of the day, he felt that he was quite disrespectful to the female ghost between his words, and quickly apologized.

The white shadow female ghost smiled generously: "There is nothing to apologize for, I am a ghost." But there is something wrong with what you said, you need to know that ghosts also change from people, they used to be good people, even if they become ghosts, they are good ghosts, they used to be wicked, and they are also evil ghosts when they become ghosts. ”

Xue Yang politely arched his hand: "It's me who lost my words, and the girl forgives me." ”

Chi Tang scooped up his hand from the bucket, and couldn't see a towel that could be wiped, so he wiped his hand on his gray coat, and his emotions were obviously still immersed in the memories of the previous time: "I now know the Tao, discipline and faithfulness, maybe it really has nothing to do with whether people are demons or ghosts, demons and ghosts have good people, and mortals also have sinister people, just like the people of the desperate door, saying that it is natural for people to eliminate demons, in fact, they are all excuses to satisfy their own interests, I dare to guarantee that if one day, the demon buys him, then he kills people as viciously and ruthlessly." ”

"Speaking of which, we hate him mainly because of his treacherous, greedy and ruthless nature, but I think that what we really need to pay attention to is what he said, what is a person in the way of demons, it is natural to kill demons, you think, if the sheep monster scholar is not a demon, but a mortal who is used by demons, even if that mortal has the demon spirit mark he needs, but you see if he dares to kill without scruples. He just used the most suitable excuse to make his despicable behavior famous, and he also used his peace of mind, so that even if it spreads, Fu Mo Dao will not have any criticism against him, this is where the sorrow of today's Fu Mo Dao lies, there are no strong clans in the family rules to kill innocent people, many good-hearted demons and ghosts can not be indiscriminately eliminated because of the difference in race, but unfortunately, now there are many people in Fu Demon Dao who always feel that as long as they are demons, they will all be regarded as aliens, and they must be killed, which is stupid, and it will only make many originally harmless demon immortals join the demon camp before the approaching war。 Xue Yang finally expressed his worries, "Do you remember the matter of the Jinping Gongzi? He has such a strong mana, but only because he is a demon immortal who has attained the Dao, who is not full of hostility? Fortunately, it was the Blood Spring Ghost Clan who harmed him first, and the plot was revealed, otherwise, as long as the demon with the heart provoked him a little, and he finally failed to marry the eldest disciple of the Zihan Academy, then he is likely to fall into the ranks of demons, with his cultivation, if he is the enemy of the Demon Dao, what a terrible thing it is?"

Chi Tang thought of the situation on Luoxia Mountain, after the son of Jinping Gongsun Fuying came out of the ghost ice hanging coffin, he and Mr. Gushan tried their best to fight against the remnant ghost general, but in front of Gongsun Fuying, he could hardly resist a move, and nodded with emotion: "That said, regardless of the worry of virtue, it is a common problem of this clan and a major hidden danger of the Demon Dao." ”

While they were talking, the white shadow female ghost looked at Chi Tang and Xue Yang with great interest, listening quietly and not bothering.

"Ethnic differences are enemies, not to mention people and demons, even between people, how can it not be the case?" Xue Yang suddenly said, "Senior Brother Chi, do you remember the Martial Mourning Heavenly King?"

"Ran Yongzeng?" of course Chi Tang knew who the martial mourning king he was talking about, "You mean the 'killing order' he issued?"

"What does Senior Brother Chi think about this?"

"I'll tell you the truth, Huaxia has been trapped in Yidi for a long time, the imperial court and the temple have been lost, I don't know how many Han people were killed by the Hu people or lewd or eaten, miserable, the Hu people are cruel, like demons, and Ran Yong once killed Hu Ling, slaughtered Hu Qiangdi, it is really a great pleasure in the past hundred years, although it was later caused by the people of the Central Plains and Hu Lu without a month, attacking each other day and day, the dead are extremely numerous, but for the Han people, this is undoubtedly a feat. ”

Xue Yang stared at Chi Tang: "So, Senior Brother Chi is still a heroic man after all." The Han people are human beings, so aren't the Hu people human beings? The Hu people are the same as the Han people, and there are certainly Hu people who killed and killed the Han people in the past, but because the Han people killed each other, there were more people who died, so why did they put all the charges on the Hu people? Even so, what innocent did the old and weak women and children of the Hu people be? They could only be slaughtered by soldiers who were heavily armed like wolves and tigers? They became victims of the Hu people's applause and applause in the order to kill Hu?

Chi Tang's brows tightened, Xue Yang's words couldn't help but make him fall into deep thought, although he was already a demon slayer, and he was no longer a disciple of the Jiangnan family, but the orthodox concept that had been ingrained since he was a child always made him think deeply about the difference between Han and Hu, so at that time, in the face of Xianbei's meticulous work Li Fei Xi, Xue Yang could let it go without thinking, and he and Xu Meng, who was also persistent and upright, still did not give up. At this time, it is true that it is shallow and unwise for people to indiscriminately kill demons and ghosts, but is the kind of incompatible hatred between the Han and the Hu people also seem shallow and unwise?

"When the order to kill Hu was promulgated, I was still young, and I was in the Central Plains with my master to eliminate demons, I saw with my own eyes that those Hu women were killed by the Han people, those thin Hu children were stabbed on the tip of the spear by the Han people, and those Hu people who did not want to be displaced anymore were as poor as the Han people, and the people, in many cases, were the same brutal and ferocious, whether it was the Han people or the Hu people......" Xue Yang sighed, and a trace of exhaustion appeared on his dark face. "You are a chivalrous man, if you see an unarmed Hu child about to be killed by a Han soldier with a sharp blade, will you help the Han soldier kill the Hu boy together, or will you defeat the Han soldier to save the Hu child?"

Chi Tang, who had been angry because of the treachery of the people of the Earth's Desperate Sect, was now brought to a higher level of his thoughts, and after Xue Yang finished speaking, there was silence in the room.

Along the way, from the Qianjia to Chang'an, from Chang'an to Bashu, there were many accidents, strange things appeared repeatedly, and the two brothers were busy eliminating demons and monsters, and they had no opportunity to communicate in depth. Now, with the actions of the desperate people, and the two people who were originally in a dull mood have this opportunity, for Chi Tang, this is a far-reaching dialogue, because, from the moment he really wants to understand, he is no longer a famous man of the Jin family who always thinks about the division of Huayi, and he must not forcibly divide the clan and kill innocents. This door rule Chitang now finally has a real understanding. It's not the mercy of the subordinates after seeing the beautiful banshee, it's not the same kind after seeing the good and the weird, but the clear distinction between good and evil.

From Chi Tang's expression, Xue Yang could see that Chi Tang had already understood, so he asked again: "What if a wicked person is bullying a little goblin who will not harm anyone, who will you help?"

Chi Tang nodded slowly, he had already figured out that when the evil side is mutilating the good side, the demon slayer is always the one who eradicates the evil, whether the evil side is a demon, a ghost, or even a human......
